Chapter 140: Trio of Nerds
Dominic passed the Prince his notebook, and Alex began scanning the pages with a trained gaze.
"Well, it looks like it might possibly be functional. There are no obvious gaps or incompatibilities. But as for making it, and getting it to activate... I don’t know if it is possible." The Prince admitted.
"A project for when I have spare time, then.
But I suppose that the real question should be: What exactly happens when we get back? You mentioned rewards, and I’ve been gone from the forge quite a while, working as Princess Alexis’ advisor. In fact, I’m completely lost as to what my proper duties are at this point." Dominic admitted.
Princess Alexis winked at him. "Relax, at this point, your duties are basically whatever I say they are. The role of Advisor takes precedence over all other duties within the Palace, unless you’re a titled and landed Noble with territory to manage.
Though, you likely could become one if you wanted. They are going to give us a lot of credit for the victory as the city’s commanders.
So, you could ask for a title and manor, rare blueprints and your own workshop with a Royal Commission. That sort of thing. Technically, you’re still an Apprentice at the Royal Forge, but once your Trade Skill Core shows the first signs of blue, it will just be a matter of time before you’re officially a Journeyman."
Dominic chuckled. He had been mass-producing magical weapons for some time, and his Trade Skill Core already glowed bright yellow, marking his progress as the ninth or tenth level of Apprentice.
He wouldn’t be surprised if he checked it and found a few streaks of blue already, putting him at the first level of Journeyman Blacksmith.
