Transmigrated as a Ghost

With the initial explanation completed, Kalt began personally leading Marcus towards the castle’s secret forge.

“Only a few people actually know how to reach this area which was commissioned long ago in order for the kingdom’s best to work on amethros. I am sure that as you have worked at the Blazegram Forge you know how much equipment it takes and how intense it is to work with amethros.” Kalt said as they walked through the castle.

Eventually they made it to a hidden door within a room that had restricted access only to certain people and it led them deep underground into a separate space.

Here there was a large furnace set up similar to the one that Thabon had along with all manner of the best forging equipment.

‘Wow, they might even have a better setup than Thabon does.’ Marcus thought as he looked around.

“It is impressive right. This equipment is the best in the kingdom, and it was made by a number of talented forgemasters from the adventurers guild when the kingdom commissioned them centuries ago.” Kalt said as he showed Marcus the room he would be working in._.

Natrually Marcus was stary eyed as he looked through the place, as he did not have even close to this quality of equipment.

‘I am going to have to upgrade my own forge at some point, but I hate to think about how much time and money it is going to take to get a setup like this ready.’ Marcus thought as he examined the amethros anvil.

It was much better than even the top tier adamantine one that Thabon had in his forge.

Still seeing how impressive all of this was, Marcus had to wonder something.

“If you have such an impeccable forge why does the kingdom only have five amethros weapons? It seems kind of a waste not to make more in order to increase the strength of the kingdom.”

For Marcus it seemed baffling that Borealia did not have more weapons even if amethros was rare.

It was not like they did not have a forgemaster with the necessary skills up until recently now that he had gotten too old.

“Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Even we have a limited amount of amethros and there are other things than just weapons, remember.”

Kalt went onto explain the reasons why Borealia only had five weapons at its disposal to Marcus.

“To start it is not like the kingdom has only had five weapons throughout its history, but some who owned them have left the hierarchy of the kingdom, like the first king Boreas who I have heard you have met. And as much as it pains me to say it, some have been destroyed in the past. If I counted the total that I know that were created for the kingdom, the number would actually be thirteen.”

Elaborating Kalt told Marcus about the weapons he knew once exited in the kingdom of Borealia but were no longer under the command of the kingdom for one reason or another.

“Along with weapons there are also pieces of armor and other magical items like the crown you will be creating for Frostine. We have a number of sets of armor and shields as well, but weapons are always considered more impressive, so they are what people look at.” Kalt said.

He certainly gave Marcus a lot of information about the amethros items the kingdom had, and even went on to give an exact amount of the ingots currently in the kingdom’s possession.

“You sure you should be telling me all of this?” Marcus asked wondering why Kalt was being so loose lipped.

“Hah, it is of no consequence.” Kalt said with a laugh. “Without you the kingdom may have fallen, and there is no doubt that much of it would have been destroyed if not for your quick action in gathering the forces necessary to defeat that doomsday monster. Not to mention that you are engaged to Mrazivý making you practically part of the family. You already have the kingdom of Borealia’s trust, and by extension, mine.”

Hearing Kalt’s reasoning Marcus could not really question their trust, but he still thought that as the deputy king Kalt should have been a little less forthcoming about all of that information.

“So, I imagine that this will suit your needs?” Kalt asked once Marcus had finished examining the forge.

“Yes, this is the best setup I have seen. There is no doubt that I can make something exceptional here.” Marcus said.

However, as he thought about it, he figured out something that he wanted in return for making Frostine’s crown.

“I do not believe that we have really discussed a payment for my services. If possible, I would like to be allowed to use this forge to create an item of my own. Of course, I will supply any materials I might need.” Marcus said with a glint in his eyes.

He really was hoping to use this place for the creation of the new scythe he was planning to make soon enough.

“That is fine. But are you sure that is all that you want in exchange for creating Frostine’s crown?” Kalt asked.

He thought just be allowed access to this facility was not much of a reward for Marcus, especially in light of all he had done for the kingdom.

“Hm, well then, if you would supply the cores to power the furnace that would be enough.” Marcus said, seeing that he could ask for more.

“It shall be done. When you need access just feel free to contact me and I will set everything up.”

With that done Marcus went to work on writing down everything he would need to craft Frontier’s crown and handed it over to Kalt when he was finished.

“This certainly is a lot, but I believe that it can all be procured within a day or two. Until then feel free to do as you please. I am sure that Mrazivý wants to see you again.”
