Chapter 1668: Yes, Yes. I Want To Be A Knight
Everyone was astonished by Amy’s speech. They didn’t expect that the Master Rom in her eyes was someone who only knew how to forge chef’s knives. They were also tickled by her worried look. Her masters were the two legendary great magic casters, but she actually said that they were immature?
Everyone looked at the two great magic casters’ designated seats at the table near the window. They were already taken by new customers now. It seemed like Little Boss had made sure that her masters had left before making that comment.
Master Rom was also stunned when he heard that, and then he broke out into laughter.
Most people in this world feared him, respected him, or even had something to ask of him. Not many people treated him like a normal person.
However, Amy thought that he was just a blacksmith who only knew how to make chef’s knives, and furthermore one who could barely make a living. She obviously didn’t like to use a chef’s knife, but she still decided to buy a chef’s knife from him to be her weapon. This innocence and kindness made him feel warm and touched in this foreign land.
“Little Amy is Krassu’s and Urien’s disciple. She should be the first magic caster on Norland Continent to cultivate both close combat and long-range offensive magic, and both fire and ice magic at the same time. Her two masters will freak out if she chooses a chef’s knife to be her weapon,” Michael teased Amy.
Everyone was smiling kindly as they could see that Master Rom really liked Little Boss, and naturally wouldn’t take this innocent comment to heart.
Of course, nobody was going to take Amy’s request seriously. Many great magic casters had lined up to ask Master Rom to forge a magic caster staff for them, and they had all failed, so how would Master Rom ever agree to that request.
Mag also heard Amy’s words in the kitchen, and he pinched his glabella. He hadn’t expected that was how the little one had interpreted his words. How was a magic caster going to make use of a chef’s knife? Was she trying to cut the electrical wires with the chef’s knife to make sparks and lightning?
Master Rom’s eyes lit up when he heard that, and he looked at Amy with astonishment. “Cultivating both long-range offensive and close combat magic, and both ice and fire magic at the same time?”
He only knew that this little one knew some magic, but she was actually the disciple of both Krassu and Urien, and was learning both their expertise simultaneously.
“Actually, I still want to learn about light magic and swordsmanship,” added Amy.
“Those aren’t enough yet?” Everyone stared at Amy with shock. She, who was only four years old, was actually thinking about learning other types of magic and swordsmanship.
“Why so?” asked Rom. His gaze was getting more and more interested.
“I heard that fire magic together with light magic would create extremely beautiful fireworks.” Amy smiled widely. “I simply want to see if that is really true.”
Everyone fell to the ground together. They hadn’t expected that the reason would be so out of the norm.
However, Rom nodded after considering it seriously. “This sounds rather interesting.”
“I know, right. I just knew it,” Amy said happily.
Rom curiously asked, “What about swordsmanship? Aren’t you a magic caster? Why do you want to learn swordsmanship? Do you want to be a knight?”
“Yes, yes. I want to be a knight. The kind of knight who could fly to the sky with a sword to stab the evil dragon.” Amy nodded with little stars in her eyes. “And then, set off a beautiful firework to celebrate.”
Rom chuckled. “Therefore, you learn magic just for setting off pretty fireworks?”
Everyone began to stare at them upon hearing that.
Amy shook her head. “Not really. Magic can fly too. I can set off fireworks when I’m happy, and set off hailstones when I’m unhappy. I can toss a little lotus when I don’t want to fight. It’s very convenient.”
“It’s perfect.”
Everyone blinked. It sounded quite right, but didn’t seem completely right at the same time.
Magic… was really for the sake of convenience?
Of course, nobody was taking Amy’s words seriously. After all, trying to become a great magic caster by cultivating a certain type of magic was already extremely difficult, let alone cultivating both fire and ice magic and cultivating both close combat and long-range offensive magic at the same time like Amy.
“A close combat magic caster, a long-range offensive magic caster, a knight, an ice, fire, and light magic caster…” Master Rom pondered seriously before he said to Amy, “Little Amy, I’m not confident to produce the weapon that you want right now. Let me tell you again whenever I get the inspiration.”
“Can… this be considered as saying yes to Little Boss’ request?”
“Master Rom’s very trustworthy. He has never failed to fulfil an order that he has agreed on.”
“This cannot be considered as agreeing, right? Master Rom only said that he will consider it?”
“Who is able to make that? It has to be a magic wand, close combat magic caster’s staff, resistant to the wear-and-tear of fire and ice magic, and something that could be used as a sword that could slay a dragon in the sky and chop vegetables in the kitchen. Isn’t this request… too much?”
People were staring at Master Rom and Amy and talking softly. Maybe they were witnessing the moment that a great weapon was born. Of course, it could also be a cute kid’s unreasonable request.
“Are chef’s knives so difficult to make now?” Amy looked at Rom with a frown. She still nodded and consoled him after a brief moment of thought. “It’s fine. I’m not in a hurry. Take your time to think about it, Grandpa. Just tell me whenever you are ready.”
“Alright.” Master Rom nodded with a smile, and finished sucking the piece of fish bone on his plate. Then, he got up, and said to Michael, “I have something on today, and need to go back early. Thank you for your treat, my lord and lady.”
Michael got up too, and smilingly said, “Alright, Master Rom. See you again.” Monica and Vivian also got up and bade farewell to him.
“Goodbye, Grandpa.” Amy also waved at Master Rom, and reminded him, “You’ve got to remember it, okay.”
Mag watched Rom, who hurried away, and inwardly murmured, Is that considered as a “yes”? A magic wand that could be used as a sword. What an unreasonable request.
However, perhaps Master Rom was the only weaponsmith who could fulfill Amy’s ridiculous request.
Without any surprises, whether Master Rom would forge a custom-made weapon for Little Boss had already become the hottest topic among the customers.
“Father, do you think Little Amy would be Master Rom’s fated person?” asked Vivian.
“Maybe. From the moment he left Issen Castle and came to Chaos City, nothing is impossible to him.” Michael took a sip from his wine glass and smiled. “Besides, we probably wouldn’t find another more unreasonable weapon than that request. To him, it might be an interesting challenge.”
“I also want to see if a weapon like that really does exist,” Vivian said with glowing eyes.
Amy walked to the kitchen’s entrance, and said to Mag in a piteous tone, “Father, the grandpa that sells chef’s knives is so pitiful. He even needs inspiration before he can forge a chef’s knife”
Mag turned around, and smilingly said, “Never mind, let’s wait for his news. Maybe he can really forge the weapon that you want.”
“Mm-hmm. Even if the chef’s knife he made is ugly, let’s buy one from him too.” Amy nodded.
“Good.” Mag nodded with a smile.
