Genesis: The Lucky Blacksmith
Ballistic

Mona invites Riko to meet Abyasa and Kemala. Two third and fourth-placed guild leaders in the latest rankings. Before meeting the two of them, Gamaliel had advised Riko to be careful with the two people. Even Rhea who could read minds felt that something was hidden by them.

Even so, as a good host, Riko still had to meet them sooner or later. He could not waste the potential of the upcoming business, even if the two guilds were inclined to side with Silverdeath. Who knew Riko could pull him into his camp with a promising business offer.

“Thank you for being present at this simple event,” welcome Riko to greet the two important guests.

Abyasa, the tall youth with the slender body typical of archers smiled thinly in response. While his partner, Kemala, just nodded politely.

“Thank you for inviting us.” Finally Abyaksa answered.

“Of course. You guys are important guests for a new guild like us.” Riko continued the pleasantry talk.

Abyaksa seemed to be clearing his throat slowly, coding his female colleagues to join the conversation. When he received the signal, he began to ask, straight to the point.

“I heard your ability in making weapons is so great. Ares and Corsage seem to already be your clients. Can we get the same opportunity?” ask Kemala frankly. The girl with the bob haircut and thick glasses didn't seem to particularly like the rambling talk.

To be honest Riko also tends to be more comfortable talking without going around in circles. Therefore he immediately responded to the question straightforwardly.

Abyaksa and Kemala looked at each other for a moment. The two seemed to agree on the same opinion.

“There's one thing we need. But I'm not sure if the weapon can be made because the materials are quite hard to come by. But reportedly your guild managed to take over the Parangkusumo dungeon. The monster bosses in that place could occasionally bring out rare materials for the main ingredients of these weapons. Although the material was not always present in the monster's body,” explained Abyaksa at length.

Riko frowned curiously. What weapons are difficult to make? As long as there was a recipe, Riko could make anything. “What weapons do you want to make?” ask the young man later.

“Ballistic Missiles,” replied Kemala lightly.

Sontak Riko held her breath. He knows what Kemala means. It's a weapon in the real world, too. A destroyer with a ballistic trajectory with a guided missile flying in sub-orbit altitude. One shot could destroy a city. So why would a guild player want to make such a dangerous weapon? Even if the weapon was used inside the dungeon, Riko was not sure that the player inside could survive.

“You want to make that thing? What if I could know?” riko was still unsure.

Kemala snorted short. “Seriously you don't know? Of course for the guild war. The fight will be held on an island in Maluku waters. Our Guild can win immediately if it uses that weapon,” he said without the slightest guilt.

Hearing that answer, Riko could only deduce one thing: something was wrong with the Alchemist girl.
