I Really Don’t Want to Be the Ruler of the Abyss! - Chapter 10

After receiving the first mission, Rollin started to hammer the iron on the stove.

His technique was similar to the Master’s, but Rollin had no way of folding 32 times of the iron ore in an hour.

He repeated the experiment many times. Although he failed, he became more and more proficient.

It took him more than three hours to successfully fold the iron block in his hand to the 32nd layer!

Because this was the first time, he was not able to directly reach the size of a finger, but he was able to reach the size of a fist.

At this time, it was already lunchtime. Aurelia Dupont walked out of his office.

He came to the side of Rollin’s workbench and took a look. Surprisingly, he found that Rollin had only spent an entire morning forging this thing.

The 32 folds that he had set up in the morning were simply too much. Even a high-level craftsman wouldn’t be able to achieve it in a short period of time.

But a beginner like Rollin had actually forged it to the size of a fist on the first day.

“Mm! Not bad. You have great potential as a blacksmith. Stop what you’re doing first. Your stomach is already making a gurgling sound!”

Rollin immediately covered his stomach in embarrassment.

After all, he only ate one meal a day in the slums.

Only when he was working would Rollin eat two meals.

When he came here to work today, Rollin specially ate breakfast. He did not expect that forging weapons would be so strenuous!

Master Dupont brought Rollin to a small restaurant nearby and immediately ordered a table full of dishes.

“Eat as much as you can! There’s still an afternoon left in the afternoon. If you don’t eat more, you’ll soon run out of strength!”

After listening to his Master, Rollin immediately swept all the dishes on the table into his stomach.

Ever since he came to this world, this was the first time he had eaten so many dishes. He was so excited that he almost cried.

Looking at Rollin’s appearance, Aurelia Dupont could not help but feel sorry for this child, so he threw all the blame on the Butcher who had brought him here.

After eating, he rested for a while before Dupont brought him back to the workshop.

“In the afternoon, try to continue forging this ore in your hand and improve your foundation. It’s still early, so let’s take it slow!”

Rollin nodded and began his work.

As he continued to raise the hammer, drop the hammer, raise the hammer, drop the hammer…

The afternoon passed quickly. The metal in Rollin’s hand turned into the size of a thumb under his countless strikes.

Seeing this scene, Rollin immediately used a clamp to set it up and used water to cool it down.

Then, he held the cooled piece of metal in his hand and scrutinized it carefully.

“Hahaha! I’ve succeeded!”

Aurelia Dupont, who had just walked over, heard Rollin’s laughter and immediately walked over. He looked at Rollin’s work.

After carefully observing it, he analyzed it for him. “It has indeed succeeded, but the quality is not high enough.”

“Look carefully at the patterns on it. They are not neat at all. If this is made into a weapon, it will be easily shattered.”

Then, he took out his own piece and compared it with Rollin’s. He wanted to let Rollin know what was wrong with this piece of iron that he had forged.

“Now, you just need to get a general understanding of it. Take your time with the rest. A blacksmith can’t forge it in a day!”

Hearing his Master’s words, Rollin nodded seriously.

“Continue tomorrow. Your current goal is to forge the iron into the one in my hand!”

“Yes, Master.”

After Rollin returned, Aurelia Dupont couldn’t help but sigh. “Garcia Ward, you really sent me a monster.”

“I wonder how you’d feel after seeing his finished product? You’re a former forging genius!”

After saying all this, Aurelia Dupont stood on the spot and laughed loudly. His laughter spread throughout the entire workshop.

This time, Rollin went back and took a detour. He came to the Gourmet Street and prepared to bring some food back for them.

After arriving at the Gourmet Street, the entire street was very lively. Shouts and shouts could be heard endlessly.

Through his observation, Rollin chose some stalls with more children and bought a whole bag of food to bring back.

Ever since he became a blacksmith, his Master gave him a weekly allowance and asked him to eat well.

He didn’t know what use the bag of gold coins he received last time would have in the future. This time, he received a living allowance, which made Rollin feel that his status had changed greatly!

With that thought in mind, he rode his cute pony back home and prepared to give the food he brought back from the city to the Butcher for him to enjoy.

However, the scene in front of him quickly scared him. The Butcher was still fine before he set off in the morning, but at this time, he had already vomited blood on the ground and was on the verge of death.

Rollin threw down the things in his hands and quickly walked over to help the Butcher up from the ground.

“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Because the poor people did not have a doctor, Rollin used a carriage to bring him to the city for treatment.

Soon, the doctor gave him a few pills and instructed, “Bring him back! Now there is already no way to treat him. You’re really too late!”

“This will allow him to live peacefully for a few days.”

Hearing this, Rollin was at a loss. He quickly thought of his Master.

But soon, he remembered the gold coins that his Master gave him. Why would his Master give him money?

He knew that the Butcher did not have much time left. The reason he had given Rollin the money was to help the Butcher buy a piece of land and bury him properly.

Without a choice, Rollin could only bring the Butcher to his home.

Then, he brought the food to the basement and helped them change their medicine. After that, he left after everything was done.

Looking at Rollin’s anxious and lonely expression, Michelle knew that something bad had happened to him.

What Michelle could do was to try her best not to cause trouble for Rollin. She silently prayed for him in elvish, ‘I hope you can overcome the dangers!’

Back in the hut, the Butcher was already leaning against the headboard.

Seeing Rollin walk in, he greeted him, “Kid, what’s with your expression? I’m not dead yet!”

Seeing that the Butcher’s expression was still normal, Rollin did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Although the man in front of him had always brought him to do dirty work, he was more like a father to him in this life.

Seeing Rollin’s complicated expression, he gestured, “Let me tell you something. Don’t look like I’m about to die. It makes me feel uncomfortable!”

After Rollin walked over, the Butcher started talking about his past and told him all his mistakes.

He also told Rollin not to follow his old path.
