Everyone's Class: One Effort, 10,000x Bonus Reward!-Chapter 219: The True Use of Crimson Blood – A Legendary Rank Mask
A Red Dwarves old man with a red nose slowly walked out of the Forge. He gave Aiden a hostile look and said, "Blazing Forge welcomes all Abyss creatures, except for despicable and shameless humans!"
Turning to Fiona, the Red Dwarves old man frowned. "You know how much I hate humans. Why did you bring a human here, and why did you give him the disguise mask I made?"
Fiona suddenly panicked. She didn’t answer him right away but turned to Aiden to explain first.
"I’m sorry. Grandpa Brock was tricked by a human before. That person stole two precious Epic Rank items from him. Since then, he has hated humans."
"Just wait a moment and don’t get angry."
After saying that, Fiona turned back to Brock. She told him about the danger she had faced and how Aiden had helped her.
Hearing this, Brock’s expression softened a bit, though his face remained cold. He turned to examine Aiden closely.
As he looked, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He spoke slowly, "Boy, you have quite a few great items. You even have a Legendary Rank armor set."
"Still, it’s hard to believe you actually killed the Sheep-headed Demon just with that."
"Come inside."
Brock put his hands behind his back, turned around, and walked into Blazing Forge.
Fiona stood on her tiptoes and whispered to Aiden, "Don’t mind him too much. Grandpa Brock is a very kind person. Plus, he has an even better disguise item here—it’s Legendary Rank."
The moment she finished speaking, Brock, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Fiona, let me be clear: I will never do business with humans again." After saying that, Brock stormed into the shop.
Aiden looked surprised at Brock’s back, deep in thought. He followed Fiona inside.
Blazing Forge wasn’t very big. A tiny space that was almost completely filled by a huge furnace. The floor was covered with empty bottles, some even dusty, showing that nobody had cleaned it in a long time.
Besides that, Aiden spotted a massive bra draped over a chair. His mind instantly went back to the cow beastwoman he had seen earlier.
"Cough, cough, we haven’t cleaned in ages. Just sit wherever you want," Brock coughed twice. He quickly snatched up the bra and hid it away.
That bra was big enough to be Brock’s blanket.
Aiden’s lips twitched. He couldn’t imagine how a Dwarf standing only 1.2 meters tall could conquer a cow beastwoman nearly two meters tall.
Still, seeing this gave Aiden a simple assessment of Brock.
A lustful, alcoholic Red Dwarves who could easily be fooled by humans.
Fiona glanced between Aiden and Brock. Wanting to lighten the mood, she sadly pulled out a bottle of red wine and three cups.
The moment Fiona uncorked the wine, Brock’s nose twitched. He licked his lips and said, "Not bad. This is wine brewed from Starlight Rank Demon blood. It’s aged for at least ten years. This single bottle is worth at least five Starlight Rank materials!"
"Did you strike it rich? You’re actually willing to spend so much?"
Brock’s expression relaxed completely. He couldn’t wait any longer, and his look toward Aiden became much softer.
"Pour it, pour it! I’m already drooling," Brock urged impatiently.
Even before Fiona had finished pouring one glass, he grabbed it quickly and downed it in one gulp.
Then, Brock closed his eyes, a look of pure joy on his face, savoring the taste of the fine wine.
After a while, he suddenly let out a sigh and said, "Pity. Even the best wine can’t beat Crimson Blood in my heart."
Fiona rolled her eyes and casually replied, "That’s obvious. Since the Scarlet Skull Goblet was lost, every drop of Crimson Blood has become incredibly precious. Even the current King of the Red Dwarves can hardly taste it anymore."
Crimson Blood?
Aiden’s ears twitched slightly. He immediately thought of the item he had gotten at the Elephant Empire Royal Auction earlier that day.
He quickly recalled the item’s details:
[Scarlet Skull Goblet: Epic Rank, Special Item. Forged by the King of the Red Dwarves from an enemy’s skull and inlaid with a treasure of the Red Dwarves clan—the Crimson Crystal. However, for some reason, the Crimson Crystal shattered. The King has been searching for this item ever since. Pour any liquid into the goblet, and it will turn into Crimson Blood. After drinking it, you get a frenzy effect that boosts bloodlust. Constitution +2000, Agility +2000. If your HP drops below 70%, your Strength increases by 100 points for every 1% HP lost, lasting for 10 minutes.
Remaining uses: 2 (When the remaining uses hit 0, this item will be completely destroyed and cannot be repaired).]
"So, the real value of this item isn’t to boost combat power, but to drink the Crimson Blood inside?" Aiden thought to himself.
If that was true, then getting Brock’s Legendary Rank disguise item and obtaining the second job of Forgemaster would be incredibly easy!
Acting curious, he asked, "Crimson Blood? What is that? Is it really that good to drink?"
Brock answered without hesitation, "Of course it is! Crimson Blood is something no Red Dwarf can resist. I took a small sip many years ago, and I still can’t forget the taste."
"Sigh, what a pity. I’ll never get to taste it again."
Aiden’s eyes grew brighter and brighter. He continued to ask subtle questions, gently guiding Fiona and Brock to tell him more about Crimson Blood.
After a while, he finally understood the true purpose of the Scarlet Skull Goblet.
Although pouring any liquid into the Scarlet Skull Goblet could turn it into Crimson Blood, for the Red Dwarves, the most delicious version was the one made from High-tier Demon blood.
Aiden had just killed the Sheep-headed Demon, and among the materials he gathered was the demon’s blood.
He made up a quick excuse to say he needed to wash his face.
Brock was so focused on the fine wine in Fiona’s hand that he just told Aiden to go into the shop’s bathroom.
Soon, when Aiden came back, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
He had just poured the Sheep-headed Demon’s blood into the Scarlet Skull Goblet, which turned it into about 500ml of Crimson Blood.
But the moment he sniffed it, he felt sick and wanted to vomit.
The Crimson Blood smelled exactly like fermented, rotting blood. It had a thick, foul stench.
"Red Dwarves love this?" Aiden thought, feeling deeply confused and baffled.
However, he didn’t show his reaction. Instead, he looked around at all the equipment in Blazing Forge.
"Sigh." Aiden said nothing. He just shook his head slightly and sighed after looking around.
Instantly, Brock’s eyes widened. "What? You think my forged items are garbage?"
"Just a little bit," Aiden said calmly. "I know a powerful Forgemaster. He once helped me repair a Legendary Rank item. Compared to what he makes, the equipment here is a bit lacking."
Brock quickly finished the wine in his cup and stormed into the back of the shop.
When he came out, he was holding several pieces of equipment.
The one that caught Aiden’s attention the most was a white mask.
"Kid, I know you said that just to provoke me. But as a Red Dwarf Forgemaster, I’m confident enough to make you take back your words."
"No matter what happens, I will never sell any of the equipment in this shop to you!" Brock didn’t hesitate at all. He placed the equipment right in front of Aiden so he could take a good look.
[Aberrant Fleshweaver Disguise Mask: Legendary Rank. Forged by Red Dwarf Forgemaster Brock himself. It has super strong disguise abilities. Once worn, it grants Spirit +3000, Extra HP +20,000, and Mana regeneration speed +10%. The mask will fuse with the user’s body to create a completely new image that matches the traits of that race. Only a human divine powerhouse or a demonic divine Rank strongman from the Abyss can spot the flaw.
Just remember, once you wear this mask, your new image is locked. If you randomly use skills that don’t fit that image, your disguise might weaken.]
Aiden’s pupils twitched slightly. This Legendary Rank mask had a simple effect, but it was incredibly powerful.
He was totally tempted. He looked at the rest of the gear, which even included a Legendary Rank two-handed sword. But that sword just wasn’t suitable for him.
"How’s that? A mere human could never match my forging skills!" Brock said proudly.
He immediately packed all the equipment away, planning to put it back in the back of the shop.
Just then, Aiden spoke up, "Wait, maybe we can make a deal."
The moment he said it, Brock shook his head and said firmly, "Just give up. I’d rather die than do business with humans again!"
"I swear by my great hammer, I will absolutely never..."
Brock didn’t even finish his sentence. Aiden just smiled and pulled out a glass container. Inside was 10ml of Crimson Blood.
"You sure about that?" Aiden opened the container, holding his breath to avoid the smell.
The look of disdain on Brock’s face vanished instantly. His nose twitched rapidly, and he swallowed hard, his expression filled with shock and disbelief.
"This... is Crimson Blood?" Brock couldn’t help but reach out and take two steps forward.
