Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The only source of great amounts of gold coins right now was only NPCs, the blacksmith hall. I needed to work myself to death then to amass a substantial amount of coins in the shortest time possible.

Amidst my disturbed thoughts I found myself walking inside the reception of the blacksmith hall. Lary was still there, that NPC was a hard working one without any moment of rest.

"Oh, it's player Agatha. Welcome back player Agatha, do you want to continue forging?"

He welcomed me in his usual warm way which made me feel like I was home. This hall began to turn into something indispensable for me, I hoped this feeling continued to be like this.

"Hi Lary, I want to continue my forging session, however I don't want any master if possible."

My last time here wasn't a pleasant memory, as that master was a mean person. I didn't want to deal with anyone else except Lady Nada, and as she was busy then it was best not to get anyone else help.

"Oh, that's hard to do, as you must use the help of a master in your forging. Besides, will you refuse the help of Lady Nada?"

My eyes was opened wide instantly as I rushed to say:

"Is she available? Wasn't she busy?"

"Oh, that was a long time ago, however now she is free. To be frank," he then moved closer to me with his head while his voice became lower, "I feel like she is waiting for you."

His words made me wonder, did she know about what just happened at the restaurant? Or was it a coincidence?

Anyway, the presence of Lady Nada was really a great thing, so I replied instantly:

"Of course I want to be with her, I will go now to my studio."

"Oh, this time you will move to a special studio Lady Nada hired for you. It's a gift from her, as this was what she said to me," Lary hurried to say.

I felt real appreciation and strange warmness inside my heart. I involuntarily smiled, and if Lary was standing in front me without this desk between us I would have given him a hug.

Some people you might meet just a few times in your life; however you feel like they were closer to you than any other friend or even family members you had.

Lary took out an orb, it was pink in color with some faint deep brown lines that made it more beautiful. He gave this orb to me as he said:

"This is the key to the special studio hired to you by Lady Nada, she is waiting for you there. Good luck player Agatha."

"Thanks."

Once I stressed over the orb, I felt it warmth seeping into my body. I disappeared and reappeared inside a very spacious place that seemed like another reception hall like the one down there at the blacksmith hall.

I just turned around me to feel astonished as Diana was there behind me as usual. It seemed from now on this butler would follow me anywhere I go.

In the middle of this hall, there were three forging tables. The middle table was the biggest one of the three, so I went steadily towards this table. Just as I reached there, a screen flashed and a picture appeared.

It was a middle aged woman, however her face was pure and young like ever. Except for some faint wrinkles around the angles of her eyes I would have wrongly guessed her age.

"Welcome Player Agatha, I was waiting for you."

Her voice was the same, and this time as she spoke I really felt like meeting one of my family members. Although she was roughly near my mother's age in my estimate, I felt her like my bigger sister or a cousin. I smiled warmly to her while saying:

"Thanks for this extraordinary gift Lady Nada, I'm really happy to be able to see you finally."

I was really happy and content with her gift. I didn't know the full potential of this studio, however the moment I appeared in it my mind felt clearer than ever. I felt comfortable and calm in a way I never felt before.

That wasn't a coincidence; this must be part of this special studio effect.

"It seems the studio effects began to show up on you, good. First on all let me congratulate you, your deeds at the mystic art competition meeting were really extraordinary. Gaining three medallions in this short time of your game world was really a great feat.

So, I decided to nourish you and invest in you more. I didn't assess you alone based on your mystic art achievements alone, however coupled with your exceptional performance in forging so far with creating so many original designs of your own.

So, I decided to support you more and give you more help as one of my apprentices, of course if you don't mind."

What? Who was crazy to refuse this huge opportunity, so I rushed up to say:

"I agree, I have no objection at all. Thanks Lady Nada for giving me this opportunity. I promise you I won't disappoint you ever."

She smiled warmly in front of me while saying:

"I'm sure you won't disappoint me, however now isn't the time to waste. Do you know all the info related to the place you are going to?"

I understood her meaning, the mystic art sacred lands. So I began to narrate everything I know regarding that place, and I even said to her my theory about the importance of wealth in this war.

After I finished, she nodded as she said:

"Your vision is truly right on the spot. The crucial element in this war is your preparations before going there. it's not only about bringing more players, however bringing more supplies with you.

A mystic art user like you will have it hard there. I have seen many outstanding players lose their path when they were crushed there, and I don't want my new apprentice's compass to go astray.

So, listen well to me, this studio is the highest grade in the blacksmith hall. The cost of hiring it is calculated per minute, and each hour really costs a fortune.

It's forbidden for NPCs or masters like myself to lend players coins, or else I would prefer to give you all these coins directly instead. So, I plan to give you the coins in this indirect way, a way to avoid the rules.

The main outstanding feature here isn't the tranquility effect on the players, not the advanced supporting system that would cut the time and effort needed to forge in half at the least.

The most important advantage here is the time slowing effect, each five minutes here equals to one minute outside. So, you can work here for one hundred hours, but only twenty would pass in reality.

Of course this feature alone is priceless, and the cost of renting this studio is astronomical. So all I could give to you is just these one hundred hours. I hope they would suffice you."
