"Tsk! One look at that long list of materials, and I know that this will take some time for me to finish this Quest. Especially with those strange names, I can already guess that I need kill some powerful monsters to get them all.
" Shin can't help himself but to clicked his tounge every time he saw the quest details.
nAnd since he is already here, why not go all the way? He walk towards the weapon shelf to look for a good sword. After few moments of browsing, Shin finally find a good sword of his taste.

nBefore Shin ask about the sword, Blacksmith Berlin already opened his mouth.
"Not a bad sword, isn't it? Actually, this sword can even put on the list of the best swords on the same grade. You want it? Since you are favored by 'Our King', I'll give you a discount, 15,000 gold coins. How is it?
"
nShin is about to say yes on it, but when he heard the price of the sword, he choke on his words and started coughing hardly.
n*Cough!* *Cough!*
n'What the!? I only want to look for a sword that I can sacrifice for my 'Mondi's Style' Skill, but it looks like it is going to burn a lot of money. Sure enough, there is no such thing such as free lunch on this world.' thought Shin before gritting his teeth, and accepting the offer.
nAnd once Shin get his hands on the sword, he steeled himself before sacrificing it to his 'Mondi's Style' legacy skill. Then, that sword turn into particles of light and fused with the swordsheath. And Shin's 15,000 gold coins disappeared just like that.
nMeanwhile, Blacksmith Berlin just watched at the sideline, not a bit cared about what have happened. After all, he have already gotten the payment for the sword.
nShin do some more little chats with Blacksmith Berlin to see if he can get some more information or if he can even get another kind of quest. But unfortunately for him, the blacksmith dwarf didn't give any anymore. So say his goodbye after.
