Eternal Thief

Chapter 1190: Under Limelight



Surrounding Ace were seven other Forger Masters, including Forger Master Clifton, and their eyes were filled with shock and a peculiar zeal.

"Young lad, become this Stetson's disciple and join the Spirit Armor Hall? You'll not have to worry about resources in the sect! In thirty years, I'll make a three-star spirit armor forger!" A burly man with a bald head quickly said to Ace before the other could react.

"Shameless! Your disciple isn't even ranked in the top ten of the Chief Disciple Ranking! How could you take this young genius and ruin his talent with your dull teaching!?" An old woman smacked her cane on the floor as she scoffed disdainfully at Stetson.

But she quickly pulled an amiable smile as she looked at George and kindly said, "Little genius, you should become a disciple of my Spirit Accessory Hall. I can promise you all the resources you need, whether for cultivating or spirit forging! You'll also have many senior sisters to take care of you!"

"Heh, now who's acting shamelessly, old crone, Alma!?" Another middle-aged man with a scholar-like demeanor spat jeeringly, "How could a genius like this young friend fall into your obvious honey trap? Besides, you don't even accept males in your Spirit Accessory Hall! He's clearly suitable for my Spirit Sword Hall!"

Ace was overwhelmed to see those old monsters bickering with each other and offering him a place in their specialized forger halls. Even Forger Master Clifton shamelessly made him a very generous offer as if the previous event had never happened between them.

But there was an expectation, an extremely old man with a wrinkled face and snow-white long hair was calmly standing there as he observed him and the token in his hand with his sharp eyes without saying anything.

Nonetheless, their reactions were completely out of his expectations, and he knew the Nominal Disciple Legacy Token was a huge deal for the sect. Now, he wondered if the Guardian Spirit had tricked him, but he quickly thought against it since that Stoic dwarf had no reason to trick someone like him.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

After all, if he had such intention, the Guardian Spirit wouldn't have given this second token or warned him about the danger. But this situation was still not something Ace wanted.

Although these people behaved like children, he knew they were as strong as Clifton, or maybe stronger. Furthermore, he had already guessed who they were by the five stars on their collars and how they invited him into their 'halls.'

Elder Dewey had already told him about the seven spirit forger halls of the Forger Faction of the Artifact Inferno Guardian Sect. These seven halls have their own forging specialty that they were proficient in.

Like the Spirit Armor Hall, which specialized in forging armor-type treasures, the Spirit Accessory Hall specialized in forging accessory-type treasures, and the Spirit Sword Hall specialized in forging blade-type treasures.

The remaining four halls were Spirit Space Hall, which specialized in forging space-type treasures; Spirit Spear Hall, which specialized in forging spears and long weapons; and Spirit Myriad Weapon Hall, which specialized in forging other types of custom weapons.

Last but not least, the Spirit Formation Hall specialized in formations and was the only hall not related to spirit forging. After all, a sect without formation experts was nothing. Although the AIG sect was famous for its Forging, its formation inheritance can't be looked down on. Nonetheless, it was still thoroughly lacking compared to its Forging inheritance. Anyhow, upon successfully joining the sect, a Forger Disciple could choose to join any of these seven Forger halls and choose a Forger path to follow. The Hall Masters of these halls were the Forger Masters!

Elder Dewey was also an outer elder of Outer Sect Myriad Weapon Hall, and Ace was supposed to join this hall upon successfully overcoming the trial.

But even Elder Dewey hadn't expected that Ace would draw the attention of the top figure of the sect and send him to Forger Abyss, and an even more unexpected thing was he would become a Nominal Legacy Disciple of the Forger Abyss.

Earlier, these Forger Masters were only slightly curious about him and paid attention to him to see why 'that' person paid attention to George. Still, now, they knew George was a Forger genius on the same level as the current first-ranked Chief Forger Disciple, who was also another Nominal Legacy Disciple Token holder, and he belonged to Spirit Spear Hall!

Furthermore, unlike George, this person belonged to one of the main four clans of the AIG sect, the Norberg Clan. He was the great-grandson of the Norberg Clan's Forger Master. Even the four Grand Artifact Guardian Masters were paying attention to him, and his name was Nathaniel Norberg.

But George was an outsider, and with his talent at the same level as this person, everyone wanted to rope him into their own halls and then into their affiliated clans. After all, no outsider had ever managed to climb the position of the Hall Master.

It wasn't like there were no other people on their level; it's just that these people were part of these clans, and if they weren't, they had already become affiliated with them through many political means and benefits. As for those who didn't take their goodwill, they vanished in the history of the sect, never to be mentioned again.

There was another reason the Sutton, Weston, and Oriente would do anything to rope George into their clans. The Norberg Clan already had Nathaniel, and with his progress and the status of Nominal Legacy Disciple, no one could stop his rise.

Furthermore, some people also believed that he would be the next sect master, giving the Norberg Clan even more boost, but it has remained to be seen. No one knows if he was a Dual Runic Talent since the Norberg clan never revealed it.

But many believe it might be true, and the Norberg clan was waiting for Nathaniel to grow stronger and establish his authority before revealing this to the public and grabbing the junior sect master position, which has been empty for many years.

Even the current sect master, who was from the Weston Clan, couldn't do anything about it, nor did he seem to care or have any intention of helping the Weston Clan suppress Nathaniel.

So, the three clans could only secretly plot and do nothing else directly to Nathaniel. But Nathaniel was a cunning and ruthless person. He has never given them any chance to act against him, and the entire Norberg clan was behind him.

However, this sudden stalemate suddenly breaks with George's appearance; he has the talent to go against Nathaniel and put him under pressure. So, the three clans would do everything to rope him in, while the Norberg Clan would do anything to make sure Nathaniel's position remained unshakable.

But no one had expected that at this moment, another person suddenly appeared right beside

Ace.

Before anyone could react, even Ace, he gently placed his hand on George's shoulder, and they vanished, leaving the deadly silent hall and dumbfounded Hall Masters as if they had seen a ghost just now!
