Less questions, more following.

As you and your party followed the two Legends, they made it clear that your encounter with Atsura and Shirayuki should not be known by everyone, as Kogai said to you :

"This... Encounter, we will say from now on, should be kept a secret under any circumstances, alright ? If anyone got to know that you and your vixen friend saved the most feared and hated being in all of Noldrin, you would not like how it will end for you and her, trust me."

"You don't need to tell me to trust you, I already do, since I don't really have a choice anyway. And I'm aware of the fact that telling people about this encounter would be bad for us." You reply, your tension able to be felt in your voice.

"It is perfect then." Says Melda. "If you survive the upcoming battle, Kogai and I will look forward to hear the story of how you saved him. It is a gold mine of informations for every Legend, as our primary focus is to eradicate him, and the knowledge of at least some of his abilities would be essential to us. We will also reward you for that." She adds, with a teasing tone, for some reason.

As you opened your mouth, to ask her why she said this, you were interrupted by Kogai simply saying, as she stopped : "We are here." You then looked at the building in front of which your party and the two Legends stopped, which was interesting, to say the least.

The building wasn't made of marble like the two buildings around it, instead, it was made of a kind of dark stone bricks, from what you could see, since you could only see the front of it, and most of the front was taken by two large windows, showing different kinds of weapons and armors waiting to be sold (which was reminding you a lot of the same kind of buildings, but you couldn't remember where you've seen them) and by a large, dark wooden door.

"Dolgomu Bloodcloak is an extraordinary blacksmith and architect, although he mostly focuses on his blacksmith's role, he would not mind lending an hand if you need something to be built." Said Kogai, before immediately going inside the blacksmith's shop, followed by both Melda, and your whole party.

There was even more armors and weapons put on display inside of the shop, as you could hear the sound of something being hammered on an anvil, the sound quickly stopping after you closed the door, before someone came from the same dark wooden door that served as the entryway to the shop, but this time, from one that was on the back wall of the room.

The man who came out of the door was really small, but he had a very muscular build, obvious if you looked a bit at his arms, not hidden by the leather blacksmith's apron that he was wearing. If you looked on the side of the apron, you could catch a small glimpse at his muscles, and you were sure that those muscles came from the years of hard work the dwarf for sure had done. He then said, as he reached the counter :

"Heya, legendary mates ! How are ya, after all that time ? Here to buy something, or to show the shop to the younglings ?"

"Neither the first nor the latter, my friend." Replied Melda. "We came here to help Adam and his party to get a better equipment than what they have for now, since they are going to participate in the fight that will take place in a few days. Do you remember this fight we have told you about ?"

"Oh, that one... Well mate, you're lucky then, you came to one of the best smithies of that city ! Ya can roam around, look, try, but no stealing ! Or else..."

After nodding, you and your party started looking around the shop, as the two Legends chatted with the dwarf, but while Rei was trying armors, staffs and weapons, you couldn't find anything that appealed to you. There was nothing you felt like you could either handle or wear without getting far too slow to survive in a fight. As you went through the weapons that were available though, you remembered about something you have been gifted by an... Acquaintance, you'll say.
