Flaming Spirit Man

Wait a second! Right now,

you have too many items in your inventory. Please come back after you've freed up more inventory space.

[Engel]

Just as I suspected...

I didn't bring enough of them.

Hmm, this is serious. What

am I going to do about this?

Oh great! I see that you're

carrying some Iron Ores with you. Would you be so kind as to lend me 1 Iron Ore? Please, I beg of you...

Thank you so much!

If it weren't for your help,

I'd be in big trouble. I really appreciate you stepping in and volunteering your materials like this.

I suppose I understand.

However, you're lucky that I don't kick you out of my forge right here and right now~

I hope you understand that

this forge isn't really open to the public. I'm doing some intensive training,so I'd appreciate it if you would just leave now.

*Sigh*

It's been a long

time since I've seen

my family. I really should let them know how I'm doing sooner or later. Hmmm....

...?

Were you looking for me?

I'm sorry, but I'm busy at the moment. Please don't disturb me while I try to get my work done.

Well, I'd like to help you,

but now isn't a good for me.

plenty of other good smiths out there who can help you with the work that you want done. Farewell.

Oh, are you serious?

Let me read it first.

Yes, yes.

...Hahaha!

It's so good to hear from

my darling daughter.

Thanks, I really appreciate that you've delivered this letter for me. Now, is there anything you'd like to ask of me? If it's not a big favor, I can probably help you.

Oh?

Isn't this...?

I see, I see!

Long ago, my old master told me that there are these strange ores that have fallen from the sky. The most beautiful and mysterious is the one shines just like a star.

Most people may know it as Sobbing Starlight, but my master used to call it God's Tear Drop.

However, this ore has been shattered into pieces. Judging from the smoothness of the edges, its inner power must have caused it to break apart. So you want me to put this back together, don't you?

This will be a good challenge

for me! However, I'll need some

special tools and materials to repair this kind of ore. Now, I want you to bring me the following things...

5 Mini Furnace,

2 Oridecon Hammer,

and 1 good quality Anvil.

Now keep in mind that ordinary anvils won't be good enough for

this kind of work.

Now, an Emperium Anvil would be ideal for this job. I used to have one, but a while back I ended up giving it to someone. Anyway, I'll wait here for you while you gather everything you need.

Right. Let me guide you to a shortcut to the exit of these mines, just in case you don't know your way out of here. Good luck~

Alright, then.

Take care.

Do you have any business

me? I'm sorry, but right

now I'm very busy. Please leave

me alone to my research.

As I've told you before, I'm more likely to succeed in my work if I'm able to use a higher quality anvil. Let's me see what you've brought...

A...

Regular Anvil?

Alright, I guess I'll try it.

But I can't guarantee success.

Ah...

An Oridecon Avil.

This isn't too bad,

but there's a good risk

that this might not work.

A Golden Anvil.

This just might be able to do the job. This might take a while, so I have something to ask of you.

Oh wow, an Emperium Anvil!

And this looks like one I might have actually made. Great, I should be able to do this so long as I don't make any critical mistakes~

While I'm working on this, would you deliver a letter to my family for me? I'm sorry, but please consider that I'm waiving the fee for restoring this Sobbing Starlight.

Well then...

I wish you safety

in your travels.

Oh, you don't have everything ready yet? Take your time, so long as you didn't forget what you needed to bring. You do remember, right?

That's all you need!

Remember that I have a greater chance of repairing the Sobbing Starlight if I have access to a higher quality Anvil. Otherwise...

Still don't have everything ready? That's fine, just take your time. So long as you haven't forgotten all the things that you need. I mean, how can you forget when you have such an important ore on you?

Are you back already?

Sorry, but I haven't quite finished yet. I won't be done for a while, so why don't you deliver that letter to my family?

While you were gone, I managed to restore this Sobbing Starlight. Why don't you go ahead and take a look?

This was one of the most difficult jobs I've ever done. But look! It was beautiful when broken in fragments but now it's absolutely dazzling! This was really worth my effort.

In any case, I worked really hard to do a good job on this, so I hope you treasure this Sobbling Starlight, young adventurer.

You've returned?

Well, I don't know how to put this, but once you hear it, don't take it the wrong way...

*Ahem*

Just as I've warned you, this attempt to restore the Sobbling Starlight failed because the anvil you gave me wasn't up to the job. I'm sorry about that.

However, I only

broke all of the tools

and the ore pieces are still intact. Now, if you bring me the tools one more time, I can try this again.

Since I'm a bit more familiar with this material, I won't take so much time. Once again, let me tell you which things you need to bring...

And this time, bring

me a better anvil, huh?

Although it'd be perfect if I had an Emperium Anvil, I'm pretty sure it'll be alright if we used a Golden Anvil.

Oh good, you're back.

I've got some bad news,

so please don't overreact~

Um, are you ready?

While I was trying to restore the

Sobbling Starlight, I was attacked

by monsters all of a sudden. If only

I paid more attention to my

surroundings...

Please understand that I get very deeply engrossed in my smithing work. If you don't mind, I'll try this again you'll bring all the tools just like the last time.

5 Mini Furnace and

2 Oridecon Hammer.

Don't forget the Golden Anvil! But if you can get your hands on one, an Emperium Anvil would be better.

Didn't I tell you to bring me a Golden Anvil or an Emperium Anvil? Anything less isn't good enough to do any restoration work on this Sobbing Starlight.

Next time you come

here, bring a Golden or Emperium Anvil and make sure to leave all of your other anvils in Kafra Storage or something, okay?

Good, good.

I see that you've brought a Golden Anvil. Now I can get started right away! Still, I'm a little about those monsters showing up again, so would you keep a lookout?

Excellent! You've brought an Emperium Anvil! Now, keep a lookout for monsters while I repair these ore fragments. We can't have those beasts ruin my work again, right? Thank you.

*Clink*

*Clink Clink Clink*

*Cliiiiiiiiiiiiink*

*Clink-Clink*

*Clink-Clink-Clink*

*Claaaaaaaaaaack*

It's almost done.

Just be a bit more patient...

*Tink Tink*

...*Tonk*

Finally... Completed.

*Phew!* That was one of the toughest jobs I've ever done, but this was well worth all of our efforts. Just look at the dazzling beauty of this Sobbing Starlight!

We've both gone through a lot of trouble to make this, so I hope you treasure your Sobbing Starlight. Good luck on your adventures...

How have you been doing lately? Feel free to ask me if you ever think that you need my expertise, alright?

How have you been

doing lately? You seem

quite well. So is there anything

I can help you with today?

Haha, so what have

you brought me this time?

It must be fairly important if you've brought it all the way

down here.

Isn't this...?!

Amazing, just by looking at it,

I can feel its power! You really

are something! How do you come across all of this amazing stuff?

You know, I consider myself

lucky to even see this kind of stuff. Most smiths might be able to see this kind of thing only once in their entire lives. And to be able to work on it...

Hmmm...

It's going to take quite

a while to work on this. Unfortunately, I can't even

give you a time estimate...

But I'll do my best for you.

It's so...

Beautiful! I don't know

if I'll ever see anything

like this again in my life...

Oh, you're back just in time.

Although it was one of my most difficult jobs, I believe you'll be pleased with my work. Only a few smiths are privileged enough to work with this, even just once.

This is now yours to keep.

Thank you for giving me the

honor of working on a worthy

smithing challenge.

I haven't completed it yet, but please understand that I've got to be really careful when working with something so valuable. But don't worry, its inner power will be revealed when I'm finished.

Sometimes, you can only

improve yourself by training in solitude. But don't ever forget about the ones who really care about you. It's those people who make everything worth it.
