Chapter 27: I’ve Shown Everything There Is To Show (1)
Keter was exceptionally knowledgeable. This was less due to innate talent and more a result of his experiences, which was the result of the unique environment of Liqueur.
Liqueur, the place where everything in this world exists.
It had everything. Born and raised in Liqueur, Keter encountered countless people, learned from them, and lived through various experiences. He didn’t learn out of a desire for knowledge, but purely for survival; in Liqueur, the more skills and knowledge one possessed, the better their chances of surviving.
Keter knew how to tan hides, was an excellent cook, and could handle all types of weapons. He was even knowledgeable in medicine and commerce.
Through this education, Keter naturally developed an exceptional eye—the ability to assess and understand any situation. For instance, when he visited Volkanus’ bow forge, he wasn’t satisfied with merely obtaining a bow. He observed and analyzed everything. And...

It wasn’t because he disliked the Sefira family; he had spent his entire life hammering iron, so his simple and straightforward mindset was focused solely on repaying them by crafting high-quality bows and arrows.
It was outdated thinking. What was needed now was innovation.
