The "Master Ezell" Alicia mentioned was none other than the Level-6 blacksmith of Dawn Empire.
"I'm just a lucky Level-5 blacksmith who happened to forge a high-level item. How could I possibly have the ability to repair a divine artifact?"
Handing the White Jade Sword back, Alicia scratched her head and said, "You're overestimating me, customer. I can't repair a divine artifact."
"I'm not overestimating you."
Su Wu still trusted the infallible Divine Choice.
Moreover, he could tell this girl was far more than she appeared.
"A Level-6 blacksmith couldn't have identified the sword's problem the moment I took it out."
Staring at the increasingly evasive Alicia, Su Wu continued, "You can name any reward you want. If you can repair the White Jade Sword, I can even help you become a region ruler."
"That's not really the issue."
Alicia sighed heavily and replied, "I've got a lot of complicated reasons on my side."
"If word gets out that I repaired a divine artifact, it's possible some very annoying people might come after me."
"Enemies?"
"Yeah." Alicia nodded and stretched her arms wide in an exaggerated gesture.
"The kind of enemies whose strength is far beyond your imagination!"
"Like the God of Light or the Lord of the Abyss?"
Alicia: "?"
She stared at Su Wu, who stood before her, and suddenly fell silent.
Was this guy... a little off in the head?
Who uses Overgods as an example?!
It's like playing on your phone under the desk during evening study and discovering someone watching you from the back door—only to be told by a classmate that it's the principal.
Absolutely ridiculous!
"So, it's not Overgod-level enemies."
Reading Alicia's expression, Su Wu nodded in satisfaction. "Then don't worry. As long as they're not knocking on your door right now, I can probably handle even an Upper God in a few days."
"No no no, even an Upper God is way overboard."
Alicia waved her hand helplessly, "You're exaggerating too much. If my enemies were really that powerful, I'd have been dead long ago."
"Then you have nothing to worry about."
Su Wu said confidently, "If your enemies are any lower, I might just be able to take care of them in a few days."
"Even if you say that... it doesn't really sink in."
Seeing that Su Wu had no intention of leaving, Alicia sighed and picked up the hammer beside her. "Fine, I'll help you. But if anyone asks who repaired it, don't mention me."
"You can repair it now?" Su Wu asked cautiously.
Though he believed she could repair it, she made it sound a little too easy.
"Not exactly."
"But I can add a [Devour] effect to it."
Alicia pointed to the White Jade Sword and said, "Feed it a bunch of top-quality swords later, and it'll slowly restore itself."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
"Not so fast."
Pushing the sword back to Su Wu again, Alicia said, "Repairing a divine artifact isn't cheap. You're not thinking of freeloading, are you?"
"What do you want?"
"Not much."
She gently touched the hammer still lying on the counter. A nostalgic glint appeared in her eyes.
"My enemies aren't in this world, so there's nothing you could do about them even if I asked."
"But I have someone I owe in this world."
"His situation isn't good. In fact, he's at his limit."
"If you're really as capable as you boast, go help him fulfill his last wish."
"Where is this person you mentioned?"
"In a small alley to the south."
Alicia raised her hand and pointed, "His name is Walter. Ask around on the main street and you'll find his exact location."
"Walter?"
The name sounded familiar. Su Wu opened his Divine Choice options to check.
[Option 3: Take Cang Yue to the strange old man Walter to receive the unique skill 'True Eye'.]
So he had heard this name before.
In fact, bringing Cang Yue with him today was largely because of this option.
"Is he some weird old man?"
"That's him." Alicia nodded, looking curiously at Su Wu.
"You know Grandpa Walter?"
"Not personally, but I've heard of him."
"Hmm... I don't know how much you know, but just take this hammer to him."
She handed him the hammer and explained, "When you find him, show him this. He'll understand."
