The Dragon God Ruler
The Forger

They then walked slowly while observing the surrounding objects, until finally someone was seen in the middle of the room. A man of great stature, he stood at an altar, holding a sword and a great hammer. The huge stone altar that resembled a purification altar, was filled with forging equipment as well as a burning furnace. The huge fire that raged behind her even made Alice feel hot, albeit at a considerable distance.

“Wohh, nice weapon uncle!” Akara immediately jumped onto the altar, and startled the old man.

“Ehh!? Who are you, boy!? Why can you get inside here!?” snapping the forger with his ferocious voice, he turned around, revealing the greenish-colored armor he was wearing. An old man with a large body, has a mustache and a long beard.

“So curious about this house, then enter, mmm the door is not locked.” Akara explained it so casually while pointing towards the entrance.

“Really?” the man said as he looked towards the entrance, then his gaze fell on Alice who was under the altar.

"Both of you! If you play not here, it's dangerous!" he snapped after seeing Alice, but the little girl jumped on the altar.

"Just calm uncle, brother and I will not damage a single weapon" Alice said in a calm and relaxed tone.

“Uncle, can you teach me to forge weapons?” akara said with a big smile, while walking closer to the burning furnace. Alice and the forger were quite surprised by the boy's words.

“Hahaha boy, why would you want to learn forging?” The forger put down his weapon, then approached Akara. The forging furnace still had a huge blaze, but Akara so casually approached it.

“Ehehe uncle's forged weapon displayed on the wall is so cool! I also want to have my own weapons, can make weapons as I want, free to use them, if damaged I can repair it myself. Of all that there is the most important, I will become the strongest martial master, while simultaneously surpassing the forging ability of uncle!” akara exclaimed confidently.

“Hahaha, is it that easy, boy? So forgers must understand thousands of types of rocks, and also master a lot of forging techniques.” The forger picked up a few stones in front of him, then threw them towards Akara.

“Of course uncle! Just like being an alchemist, right? Must know the types of medicinal plants, what are the effects, the locations of the plants it grows, how to care for it, what will happen if the merger of two or more plants, and a lot of purification techniques, etc, from dried, ground, to have to use api.” Akara explained at length to make the forger confused.

“Already already! Even so I am dizzy,” said the forger while holding his own head.

“Hehe sorry uncle." Akara placed the stones next to the forged sword, then walked towards Alice.

“Oh yes boy, what is your name?”

“Akara,” answered by turning his back on the forger.

"Akg!?" The forger was wide-eyed, until he pegged for a moment.

Not hearing any more answers, Akara then turned to check on her. His face instantly wrinkled, wondering why the forger was sculpting.

“Children of Al!?” shouted the forger so loudly, that it made the two little children in front of him startled.

“Ehh uncle! What's up?” Akara immediately approached her, but Alice immediately withdrew her hand. The little girl then hid behind her brother's body.

“Hahaha, actually I had intended to teach you, but became lazy after hearing who your father was,” said the forger ssmbil walking down from the stone altar.

“Ehh, what's with dad!?” Akara continued to follow the forger, along with Alice who was hugging his arm.

“Woi Jade! Where's the message, uh Akara, Alice?” Al's father was suddenly on top of the stone altar, making his two children startled and turned around.

“Dad?” both are confused by the sudden presence of their father.

“The material is finished, so want to see it not?” said the forger who stood among the pile of stones, waiting for the father and son to talk.

“Jade, by the way, why is my son here?” said Al's father while walking slowly.

“Ohh good!” Al's father rubbed Akara's hair with a big smile, but Akara only smiled wryly.

Jade stopped walking, then looked back.

“But I refused,” he said briefly, then walked again.

“What do you mean?” Al's father asked expressionlessly and sped his way up, leaving his children to chase after the forging Jade.

“Yaa, I originally intended to accept it, but became lazy after knowing that he was your son,” Jade replied without stopping her steps.

“You should be more excited after knowing that he is my son,” Al's father said casually, walking beside Jade.

“If your son can forge, then what is my duty?”

“Liet me, I'm still counting on you. Akara is also unlikely to be able to directly master it ‘kan? Wait until Akara almost equals you, then I forget about you,” Al's father said casually joking with her.

Jade immediately turned her head towards Al's father with a sharp look, then stopped her steps. Not long after that he sighed, and turned his body towards Akara.

“Alright! Akara, you I adopted as my disciple, but not because of Mr. Al's son. Whether or not you can in the future is the result of your own hard work,” said Jade who immediately continued walking after finishing talking.

“Each uncle Jade! I mean teacher!” akara exclaimed loudly, a happy feeling implied on her wide smiling face.

“Call uncle only,” Jade said without looking back.

“Good son, steal all his knowledge. Uncle Jade is the best forger in the whole world.” Al's father pointed his thumb at Akara, then continued walking.

After a few meters of walking, they arrived in front of an enormous barbed door. Metal doors that look very sturdy, there is only one small keyhole.

Uncle Jade opened his frontal armor, then picked up something.

Cring!

A very much small bell-like sound rang out, as Uncle Jade took out an object from inside his armor. The sound turned out to come from a lot of keys, even though the key hole in the door is trimmed there is only one.

“Jade, I told you to use my gift storage ring,”, Al's father said as soon as he saw dozens of keys in Uncle Jade's hand.

“Not practical, if lost will be lost all my property,” said Uncle Jade who was walking near the door trimmed, then enter the key.

Klekks!

The lock mechanism opens, but Uncle Jade inserts another key.

Klekks!

The second mechanism opens, but still inserts another key up to a dozen keys.

Al's father and his two children look very bored waiting, seen from the look of their faces shrunk.

After a long wait, the door finally opened by itself. The energy came out from within claustrophobic, like a gust of wind that was quite strong and stopped after it pruned open completely.
