Chapter 29

Nakia’s work was lackluster compared to Godsfried’s fancy gemstones and silvery metal. Her creations looked simple and basic. Roth grabbed the earring to inspect the craftsmanship. Roth was surprised by how light it was when he picked it up. He could hardly feel its weight. As he ran his fingers on the material, it felt warm and grainy instead of cool and polished. “Is this wood?” he asked the jeweler.

“That is correct.”

He had assumed it was some sort of iron because of how black it was, but stood corrected. Roth spared a glance at Nakia’s table and found several shavings, perhaps the result of Nakia using a knife to sculpt these pieces of jewelry.

Both the necklace and the belt also had wooden spheres. He brought one of the items up into the light and saw that Nakia had carved animal figures on the surface of the spheres. He squinted to try to make out what the figures were.

“Elephants?”

“Yes.”

“Why elephants?” Roth asked.

“They are animals known for their intelligence,” she answered plainly.

Roth had come to associate intelligence with badgers on account of [Badger Form]. But he supposed there were other creatures out there known for being intelligent. Curious, Roth inspected the winning items.

“What do you think, mister,” asked Nakia cheekily.

“I never imagined making such awesome jewelry out of wood would be possible. And I guess that the prized crafting material Godsfried was talking about is this time sand?”

“That is correct.”

“Is that what gives it so much cooldown reduction?”

Nakia just smirked. This material couldn’t be cheap, but that didn’t take any merit from her. After all, money and resources were part of an artisan’s strength. Nakia’s commitment to make sure she won this competition also showed that she really wanted to be part of the Union, and was a token of her sincerity.

“May I ask how much this time sand is?”

“I must have used 2k worth of it,” she answered matter of factly.

“Two thousand gold?!” he let out, stupefied.

Roth held his new jewelry with trembling hands. This jewelry set was potentially worth as much as he had spent in the auction house, yet he was receiving it for free.
