Max Level is 100? I Can Upgrade All skill s to Lv99999!-Chapter 189 --Shard of Law?

After Caelan received the delivery, he told the maid to leave on her own.

In truth, everything inside those packages consisted of various materials he had borrowed from the library of the Ironclad Legion.

Caelan’s idea was simple. He wanted to learn some of the highest-level forging techniques from them.

His longsword had originally been forged by his own hands, so he already had considerable experience when it came to smithing.

What he wanted now was to study those top-tier methods so that, when he spoke with the dwarven blacksmith Ironhand, the modifications to the sword could better match what he had in mind.

At the same time, everything the Ironclad Legion had helped gather was delivered along with the packages.

Caelan did not rush to summon Ironhand immediately.

Instead, he first skimmed through all the technique-related materials at ten times speed.

He already possessed strong practical experience in forging. What he lacked was nothing more than a few truly top-level techniques.

Because of that, after going through those methods, he might not have been able to use them flawlessly right away, but he had already grasped the principles behind them.

So when the time came to discuss matters with Ironhand, he would be far more at ease and much more in control of the conversation.

After confirming that everything was ready, Caelan used the [Summoning Token] once more.

The next moment, the figure of the dwarven blacksmith Ironhand appeared in front of him.

At that moment, Ironhand’s hair was in complete disarray, and there seemed to be a trace of indignation on his face.

He swept his gaze over Caelan and, with clear displeasure in his tone, said, "Kid, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"Didn’t I already tell you to wait until you’d gathered all the materials before summoning me?"

"What is this supposed to mean? Are you messing with me too?"

Caelan froze slightly, and a thread of confusion rose in his heart.

He could not understand why Master Ironhand was so angry.

And that "too" especially caught his attention.

Could it be that someone else had messed with Master Ironhand before?

The flames of gossip burned wildly in Caelan’s heart, but on the surface, he remained calm and respectful.

"Master Ironhand, please take a closer look. I’ve already gathered all these materials."

Ironhand gave a slight start and instinctively looked down at the floor in front of him.

But when he saw the materials piled up there, practically forming a small mountain, he was completely stunned on the spot.

"You... how in the world did you do this?"

"So many precious materials, and you actually gathered all of them within a single day?"

Master Ironhand rubbed the smooth back of his head.

He had already forgotten when the last time was that he had actually had hair there.

Caelan nodded calmly, as though he had merely done some utterly insignificant little thing.

At the same time, he looked toward Ironhand and revealed a sincere smile.

"Well... Master Ironhand, I have one tiny request."

"If possible, when you reforge the longsword, could you add a few extra materials as well?"

When Ironhand heard that, he could not help but frown.

For a master blacksmith, adding different materials during the forging process was not actually a major issue.

What worried Ironhand was whether the material Caelan wanted to add might conflict with the others.

Especially after seeing how quickly Caelan had gathered everything, he had already realized that this young human boy’s background was absolutely heaven-defying.

So after a brief silence, Master Ironhand spoke in a probing tone.

"If you want to add some material, that’s not impossible."

"But materials can conflict with one another, so I can’t promise you with complete certainty."

Caelan nodded.

He had already been prepared for exactly that sort of answer from Ironhand.

Without delay, Caelan reached into his storage space and took out a special crystal.

"Master Ironhand, please take a look. Would this work?"

On the other side, Master Ironhand had originally assumed that Caelan was about to bring out some astonishing, earth-shaking material.

Yet when he saw that crystal, the expression on his face immediately became one of utter disbelief.

No, wait.

If he was seeing this correctly, then wasn’t this a [Shard of Law]?

Even if it was not a true Shard of Law, but merely a [Shard of Law (Pseudo)], it was still a fragment of law.

And this kind of [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] did not mean the fragment itself was fake.

It was only called "pseudo" because it had been born within an Instance space, rather than existing as a complete Shard of Law from the great world.

But even if it was incomplete, anything involving law was never simple.

Not a single thing related to it could be treated lightly.

"Kid, where on earth did you get this from?"

"Dark Maze. Right, it has to be there!"

"By Aukmar, God of Blacksmiths, how could you even get your hands on a Shard of Law?"

"This makes no sense. This is absolutely ridiculous!"

Master Ironhand muttered to himself for quite a while.

Then his gaze began sweeping over Caelan all over again, as though he were seeing him from a completely new angle.

In truth, even now, he still found it impossible to believe that Caelan had actually managed to kill the administrator of the [Dark Maze].

And yet... the [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] was right there in front of him.

There was no room left for disbelief.

But still... this brat’s strength was only at four stars.

Just how had he managed it?

After hesitating for a while, however, Master Ironhand ultimately chose not to ask Caelan those questions.

Because everyone had secrets of their own.

Even Master Ironhand himself was no exception.

So not prying into another person’s secrets was the most basic kind of courtesy.

Caelan, however, was not thinking about all that.

He walked straight forward, a trace of curiosity on his face.

"Master Ironhand, may I ask... can this [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] cause my longsword to undergo an entirely new kind of change?"

Master Ironhand gritted his teeth, and an excited expression immediately appeared across his face.

"Of course it can!"

"Something like this is one of the strongest materials there is for forging top-tier weapons!"

"You brat, this time you’ve really struck gold!"

After saying that, Master Ironhand took the [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] from Caelan’s hand of his own accord.

The weight of the crystal was even lighter than he had imagined.

If it were used to forge a weapon, it truly would make for an outstanding material.

Its only flaw was that it was simply too rare.

Even with all of Master Ironhand’s vast knowledge and broad experience, this was the first time he had ever encountered such a thing.

After carefully examining it for a good while, Master Ironhand finally arrived at a conclusion.

"Kid, your luck is pretty good."

"This [Shard of Law (Pseudo)] really does suit your longsword."

"But unfortunately, your current strength is still far too lacking. You simply cannot bring out the true power of the sword after it is reforged."

"With your present level of strength, the very most you’ll be able to wield is the absolute peak of [rare-grade] quality."

"But... if you think about it from another angle, that already makes it the best weapon you can equip at your current level!"

"And... as you continue to level up, it will gradually unseal itself!"
