Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

He wanted to read the basics to tell the difference between the forging he knew about and the forging this world was familiar with.

"Ahem, I\'m starting to practise forging," and when Lorance gave him such a weird look, William added to justify what he said earlier, "I\'m a bronze spirit master after all."

"Sure," after giving William a long glance, Lorance realised that he overestimated the abilities of this kid.

And when he realised this point, he couldn\'t help but inwardly question himself. \'Why did I think of him like someone stronger?\'

"Here," after pushing aside such an annoying note, Lorance randomly selected a few holes, passed through their white, bronze, and silver layers of seals without any trouble, before handing the scrolls stored inside to William.

William got almost twenty scrolls at first. Beside this region, there was a large oval shaped table with many chairs around. It was designed to let any spirit master read what he claimed without the need to leave the library.

After all, it was prohibited to read the documents of the library outside. Or to be more precise, if anyone tried to sneakily take anything out, the scrolls would fly back to its hole like it was bound with some sort of hidden force.

"Bring me more," William added while heading towards the table, "and bring me some of the forging techniques as well."

To better understand what heights the forging realm here reached, William needed to learn the basics and the commonly used forging techniques.

Lorance could only watch this kid throw away his life in vain in silence as he kept shaking his head and sighing. To him, William was just wasting his effort in something that wasn\'t that worthy.

Yet he kept taking out documents and delivering them to William.

As for William, he thought he\'d take a long time to read through all of the increasing piling documents next to him. However, that wasn\'t true.

"This is the basic hammer movement… But it speaks about a rudimentary and crude way to do it…"

Just with a few glances, he could identify the content of any scroll, recognise what the entire document said, and even spot the few mistakes from the first written lines there.

Each scroll unfolded to show a long document that spanned for at least half a metre in length. The words written there came in small size, arranged in blocks while many drawings were present there to help anyone understand the true meaning behind these words.

Just by seeing these drawings gave William an instant realisation of the document content. And by reading the first lines in every document, he\'d grasp what the entire document would talk about.

"Tsk… This… This is quite retarded indeed," it was the first time for him to get in touch with knowledge of how to forge in this world.

And from what he read after almost ten hours, he realised that he did the right thing to come here first.

All the basic concepts and theories, all the techniques used in forging… They were all quite rudimentary in his eyes! He realised that even if he randomly picked a topic and spoke lightly about it, he\'d still spill out tons of secrets about forging.

He now realised why Ellina acted in such a way before when she saw him forge. It wasn\'t just the revolutionary ideas of his forging techniques, but the basic concepts that lay behind them.

In this world, forging was like scraping the surface of a mine, just taking the shallow and most useless ores from outside.

The real gems always lied deep within the ground. William knew the gems, and now he had a big dilemma about what he should teach artisans here. "Tsk! I thought it\'d be quite easy to find the right amount of knowledge to share… But this…"

The more he read, the more depressed he became. After five more hours, he decided to call it a day.

"Thanks, senior, for the trouble," he said at the door of the library.

"If you ever wanted to read anything, just come here and I\'ll help you with it," Lorance didn\'t stop trying to convince William to read documents about techniques and training manuals while seeing him out, "and think about what I already told you about."

"Sure, thanks for the senior\'s care and concern," William knew even if that spirit master was a bit stubborn and quite wrong in his viewpoint, he\'d still take the trouble to advise William out of his good intentions.

Even if a great part of this came from the core he got from William, the latter still felt warm towards such an attitude.

"I stayed all night inside…" When William got out from the library, he found the sun in the middle of the sky. He felt a little hungry and tired, so he walked back to his mansion with a troubled mind.

His body might not match his past life, but his mind did. So even during his slow walk back, he never stopped thinking about what he read and learnt.

"Going by logic, the forging role in helping spirit masters in this world is quite limited," he realised why people like Lorance had such a viewpoint about external help that came from forging and alchemy.

It wasn\'t just an issue of concept or belief, but it was also thanks to the limited role the gears and elixirs had to the spirit masters here.

"I didn\'t read anything about alchemy, but I have the feeling it won\'t be that different," as he returned back to his place, he ate and drank, before retreating to his room to sleep while muttering this to himself.

He heard the noises made by Tina. "This little devil never rests!" William sighed, before closing up his eyes and getting a long nap of rest.
