Summoner of Miracles

Chapter 354

Lisbeth was really surprised. First of all, she knew just how famous Asuna was since Asuna was both her friend and patron.

Not only was she Knight of the Blood’s vice-leader, but she was also the strongest rapier user throughout Aincrad, which earned herself the nickname “The Flash,” not to mention she was one of a few handful beautiful female Players in Aincrad.

Secondly, as far as Liz knew, Asuna only had eyes on clearing the game. She wouldn’t tolerate any half-assed effort when it came to clearing the game.

Yet such a strict girl now waltzed into a smith shop with a member of the opposite gender?

Why was that surprising?

Because Asuna was never seen together with a guy alone. Granted, Asuna sometimes had a few of her guild members accompanying her, but they were merely her subordinate, and it couldn’t be said as being alone together with the opposite sex.

But it was different this time.

It was obvious that the shady and seemingly lazy man in front of her was not Asuna’s guildmate or subordinate.

In fact, Lisbeth got the feeling that he led Asuna by the nose, which aroused her curiosity.

Seeing Liz’s suspicious look, Asuna could more or less figure out what she was thinking.

“No… It’s nothing like what you think!”

Asuna shook her head in panic, causing her chestnut hair to sway around.

“He’s… He’s just a friend from the Clearers… scratch that, just a fellow Clearers… That’s not it either; let’s just say we happen to fight together!”

Asuna explained flusteredly.

However, Liz grinned since the way Asuna said it did nothing but dug her own grave.

“My, my, what do we have here?” Liz lightly pressed her elbow against Asuna and smirked:

“Although his equipment doesn’t seem to be that good, since he is a Clearer too, he should be strong enough, not to mention he seems pretty cute, not a bad match for you, I believe. I don’t know about his personality, though. Do you want me to ask it for you?”

“No!” Asuna said sternly, followed by a sigh.

“Please don’t do anything strange things, Liz. I really have nothing to do with him!”

“Oh? Really?” Liz asked suspiciously.

“Is there really nothing special between you guys?”

Liz’s words surprised Asuna.

Because looking back, Rozen has taught Asuna various things ever since they knew each other.

and…

Asuna couldn’t help but touch the rapier on her waist.

It was a crystal-like rapier called “Lambent Light.” It was crafted by Lisbeth, a masterpiece that she wasn’t sure she could make again.

In general, the performance of a weapon made by a Player or NPC depended on three aspects.

First was the quality and rarity of the material used to forge the weapons. The second was the skill level of the blacksmith, and the third was the forging tools.

The better these three aspects were, the better weapon would be forged. In short, to forge a good weapon, the Players only had to bring rare materials to a skilled blacksmith because the other two aspects depended on the blacksmith.

However, even if the materials, blacksmith’s level, and forging tools were high-leveled, the weapons a blacksmith forged would be completely random.

Despite being a skilled blacksmith herself who had good forging tools, she couldn’t make the exact same weapon even if she was provided with the same material.

Low-level weapons may be one thing, but high-leveled weapons are a different story. Take Asuna’s Lambent Light, for example. Although it might not be stronger than Kirito’s Elucidator, at the very least, it wasn’t that far apart in terms of overall stats.

Asuna stroked it gently not because of its rarity and power, but because that rapier held a special meaning for her, and it happened to be somewhat related to Rozen.

So many things popped up in Asuna’s head as she recalled her encounter with Rozen.

However, she didn’t notice that a pair of curious eyes were watching her the whole time.

“Ohooo…”

Liz’s smug laugh snapped Asuna back.

“So that’s what happened. Alright, you don’t have to say another word. I heard you loud and clear.”

Liz touched her chin as if knowing what was in Asuna’s mind, then patted Asuna’s shoulder.

“Do not worry; just leave it to me.”

After grinning, Liz walked toward Rozen

“Wait… wait! Liz! I told you that’s not it!”

Asuna panicked and tried to chase Liz. Unfortunately, it was too late.

“Hello, welcome to Lizbet’s smith shop, I am the owner and the blacksmith, Asuna and I go way back, pleased to make your acquaintance, cutie.”

Lizbeth smiled mischiveously like she was interrogating the boy who dated her sister instead of treating him like a customer, standing in front of Rozen with arms akimbo.

“………”

Rozen looked at the blacksmith in front of him, who seemed about to teach him a lesson or two, and there was only one thing that he could think of.

“Did I do something wrong?”

Even the famous Clearer’s commander was puzzled by the situation he was currently in.

“You want to forge a weapon, right? No problem! Just leave it to me!”

Liz gave a thumbs up.

“However, prepare yourself. I am not that easy to impress, you know.”

Rozen was speechless after hearing Liz’s words, while Asuna was covering her face in embarrassment.

“Sigh! I don’t care anymore!”

After one and a half years, this was the first time Asuna gave up again.

Things started to proceed in a strange direction.
