Rest
Once the materials were ready, the Elf Blacksmith began work overnight.
A scythe is worth 20 Copper Daler, a Kitchen Knife is worth 30 Copper Daler, and the Longsword used by the Elf Guard, though military-grade, are only worth about a dozen Gold Daler. An Elf Blacksmith might only earn four or five Gold Daler forging a high-quality military weapon, but he could earn around a hundred Gold Daler forging this Scimitar for Soren. The higher the grade of the weapon, the more its value increases exponentially, and the higher the requirements for forging skills and materials.
Forging it wasn't too difficult; the Elf Blacksmith had Elven Steel Ingot (Fish-scale Pattern Steel) prepared in advance. The key was the special material, worth two hundred Gold Daler's, which was beyond the reach of ordinary people. Only one or two people in the entire village were equipped with Transcendent Tier weapons, and it would take an ordinary Elf Patrol Guard ten years to raise that amount.
The cost of forging this one weapon is equivalent to two or three years of his income!
The Elf Blacksmith summoned all his apprentices and began hammering away, preparing to produce ingots of refined steel, each about ten centimeters long. Soren had little to do; he watched for a while, then returned to the inn to rest. He was exhausted and needed to recover. He had already drawn up the model for the Scimitar for the other party; it was a heavy Scimitar, with excellent slashing and piercing abilities, somewhat similar to the style of the Drow.
The hotel is on the second floor.
The Elf proprietress thoughtfully prepared dinner for him and even brought him a basin of hot water to soak his feet.
The other party wouldn't be so attentive to Soren for no reason; the main reason was the Gold Daler he had thrown at Adventurer, one Gold Daler had become less important. But for an ordinary person, it represented several days' earnings. The Elf landlady, somewhat pretty but not exceptionally beautiful, made his bed and brought him a new blanket. After confirming that Soren had no other requests, she left with a fawning smile.
Such a generous customer. If they had been served better, she might not have even needed to give them change when paying the bill.
That's several Silver Daler!
Adventurer are risking their lives, so they tend to be quite generous with their expenses.
Before leaving, the Inn asked Soren if he needed any other services, which he immediately refused. Don't assume Soren are all Elf and noble. Like father, Elven Pantheon is notoriously capricious, and the Elven Race' incredibly long Hit Points mean many Elf couples gradually lose interest. Humans, at least, are bound by traditional moral rules, and in some places, they even bear red marks representing chastity. Elven Race constraints are far fewer, and some of their more extreme challenges even astonished Soren!
Especially some Chaotic Neutral and Neutral Evil Alignment.
While some devout druids exist, there is another group that is extremely depraved, even shunning wild beasts.
If you encountered that kind of person, you would definitely want to kill them and leave some clean air for the world.
The special services offered by Elf are more refined than those offered by humans. They don't use coercion or enticement, and sometimes it feels like a secret rendezvous. The tavern maids are indeed maids, but the services are provided by a different group of people. Elves are Elf picky, and this is no exception; they select their guests carefully. If you are charming, handsome, and generous, the Inn might not mind having a romantic encounter with you.
The custom of Elf is to value faith; as long as faith remains steadfast, the heart remains pure.
They valued enjoyment throughout their long Hit Points.
In Silverymoon, which has been rebuilt many times in the North, there's Masquerade presided over by priests of the Goddess of Love. There, you can meet many noble ladies and socialites, and perhaps even priests from the Elven Pantheon. What the ball ultimately became, many know in their hearts. Soren had attended several times in the past, investigating a serious matter. He even encountered Avatar of the Goddess of Love once. However, that was after the end of the Time of Troubles. The Goddess of Love had suffered some unknown fate, nearly succumbing to the Chaotic Evil Alignment.
at last.
Even with the intervention of top Legendary Professional like Soren, she ultimately shifted from Chaotic Good to Chaotic Neutral, causing the priests' original Chaotic Good concept of love, which advocated beauty, sincerity, and intensity, to all transform into Chaotic Neutral concept of love that prioritizes self-indulgence, the pursuit of thrills, and the satisfaction of spiritual emptiness.
Legend has it that she fell into the hands of the Succubus Queen Time of Troubles, and suffered unbearable humiliation and imprisonment.
Succubus Queen.
What good could come of it falling into her hands? Heh.
Soren lay comfortably on the bed, placing his weapon within easy reach.
Then he closed his eyes. Although he was extremely tired, he couldn't fall asleep for a while. He was worried about Vivian's condition. He knew all too well the power of the Godsbane; when fully unleashed, it was Legendary- level Divine Power, and that didn't even take into account her original class level. Vivian's own divine Divine Power had only just awakened, and then she absorbed the Divine Power of another Godsbane. He didn't know if she could integrate it.
After all, she was too young, her body had not yet begun to develop, and she was like a Wyrmling unable to withstand the power of Adult Dragon.
If you ask a child to exert the strength of an adult to lift one or two hundred pounds, there will only be one outcome: muscle strain or even damage to bones and internal organs.
Now, Soren only hopes that Goria can find a way to suppress Vivian's power, giving her body some time to adapt!
He still couldn't sleep.
Soren simply opened his profile page and began to examine his main attributes.

How come I gained 3 more Legendary Degree?
Soren opened the battle log with some surprise, because his Legendary points had increased by 3, and then he found the following line of data:
"Hunt Ritual [Legendary Combat]: Late September, 1675, Crescent Era. In the Elven Realm, the followers of Malar the God of Hunt Divine Magic, held a ritual to hunt the Fear God Child in order to regain the Deity's attention and receive divine magic. This Legendary Hunt Ritual was interrupted by you, and their prey, the Fear God Child (Class Level 16), was killed by you. Your existence will become known to more and more Evil creatures. [Legendary Degree +3]"
It really was Legendary Hunt Ritual!
Soren glanced at his other attributes. He had mastered a considerable number of Feat, and one could never have too many; the more Feat one had, the stronger one's combat power. The increase in basic skills wasn't very noticeable; aside from the Skill Point allocated for leveling up, each skill had increased by an average of about 10 points.
Soren has fought quite a few battles so far. It's unclear when he'll reach the average of 100 points. In the Legendary Domain, it's best to raise all basic skills to over 100 points. Otherwise, he'll be crippled, not Legendary. Once you reach the Legendary level, you'll generally be able to apply your knowledge to other skills; you can't have any significant weaknesses in your basic skills.
The Versatile Hands remains sealed.
For some reason, Soren clearly felt that its passive effect was still present, but he couldn't use it actively.
Something must be wrong.
If it were just temporary weakness, he should have recovered long ago. Soren judged that the most likely scenario was that he had suffered a permanent curse or Spell damage, or perhaps his soul had been injured. Many attacks on the soul level cannot be healed naturally and require powerful Divine Magic to remove or restore them.
It's impossible that she was under some kind of Magic. Spell like Feeblemind, Energy Drain, or Polymorph are too powerful; they wouldn't be completely unaffected.
Soren felt that if it wasn't a special curse, it must be a weakened state caused by soul damage.
"If it's damage to the soul, that would be troublesome."
He glanced at his own stats, then focused on the 3 points of Divinity he'd gained from killing the Elf Ranger, muttering, "Soul damage requires at least Greater Restoration to recover, and might even require Greater Restoration."
Where can I find a priest with a class level of 15 or higher?
"Priests of this rank are all bishops; it's not easy to even see them, let alone pay them to cast Greater Restoration."
There's definitely not enough cash.
If he can sell the gems, he should be able to raise enough money for the Greater Restoration, which is roughly 3000-5000 Gold Daler. Forget about the Greater Restoration; that's a level 9 Divine Magic that can revive anyone still alive to full health, and it's practically impossible to buy with money. The next level, Resurrection Spell, can repair soul damage, but you need to negotiate with God of Death to cast it, otherwise the soul won't return to the body, and the resurrected person will be in a vegetative state.
It's unlikely that any Legendary priest would be so bored as to use Resurrection on a living person at such a high cost; their purpose would probably be simply to heal wounds.
final.
Soren focused his gaze on those three points of Divinity!
