My Passive Skills are Invincible! - Chapter 159

Chapter 159: Special Mission, Ancient Craft of the Dwarves

The tavern in the Furnace City and the tavern in the City of Light were completely different in style.

There was a warm fire and light yellow lights, giving people a very warm feeling.

Many Dwarfs were drinking and chatting here. Occasionally, there would be a drunk Dwarf singing loudly, but no one would dislike it. They would even join in.

In this slightly noisy environment, Mike and Lilia found a corner and sat down.

This was obviously not a suitable place to talk, but they had no choice. There was almost no quiet place in Furnace City.

In other words, with the Dwarfs’ personalities, it would be harder to keep them quiet for a long time than to kill them.

In a situation where there was no quiet environment, this was the most suitable place to talk.

The reason was simple. Almost everyone here was talking, so no one could hear what they were talking about.

Mike ordered a glass of lemonade and a glass of beer for Stone, which made Stone very happy.

As for Lilia, she did not want any drinks. She took out a blueprint from her body and handed it over.

Mike took the blueprint and looked at it. He frowned and said,

“What does this mean?”

The blueprint did not indicate a piece of equipment, but a part.

It looked like an ancient Dwarven craft.

However, everyone knew that the ancient Dwarven craft had long been lost.

Lilia leaned forward slightly and said in a low voice,

“Can you make this part?”

Mike handed the blueprint back to Lilia and said with a smile,

“Of course. The premise is that you have to prepare the materials for me.”

For adventurers, as long as they had blueprints and materials, they could make anything.

Of course, the level of forging technology would affect the quality of the finished product.

Mike did not need to worry about that, because his basic forging skills were enough for him to produce excellent products.

Even if it was not the equipment but parts.

Lilia asked with some doubt, “Are you sure?

“Are you sure? You should know what this is, right?”

“Of course.” Mike shrugged. “It’s an ancient Dwarven craft, I can tell.”

His voice was not particularly low, causing Lilia to look nervously at the Dwarfs around her.

Fortunately, no one heard their conversation.

If the news of the ancient Dwarven craft was leaked, it would cause a huge uproar.

Lilia heaved a sigh of relief and turned to glare at Mike.

Mike just smiled and spread his hands.

“Alright, let’s get down to business.

“I need you to build a part like this for me to prove that you are qualified for this task.

“If you can do it, I will have a big business for you. The reward will definitely be to your satisfaction.”

Lilia still lowered her voice and whispered.

Mike nodded with a smile and extended his right hand.

Lilia looked at Mike in confusion and did not say anything.

Obviously, she did not understand what Mike meant.

“Materials. Didn’t you say you would provide me with materials?”

“Of course not now!”Lilia glared at Mike again and said in a low voice. “I’ll take you to the Elven territory to manufacture it. It’s not convenient here.”

Mike expressed that he did not have any objections. He could understand the female Elf’s position.

However, he still made his own request.

“I have to go to Malt City now. I can only accept this request after I’m done.”

“Sure, I’ll go with you.”

After saying that, Lilia stood up directly.

This surprised Mike a little.

Because under normal circumstances in Second World, after an NPC received such an answer, the mission would become idle.

In other words, Mike could temporarily ignore this quest and return to it when he was free.

If this NPC could stay here and wait, then it would be fine.

If it was not possible, the NPCs would usually tell the player a location where they could find the NPC and continue the quest.

However, this time, the situation was very special. This female Elf NPC actually wanted to go with Mike to do something.

This meant that this mission seemed to be a time-limited mission that needed to be completed within a certain amount of time.

Although the mission introduction did not show a time limit, theoretically speaking, after a certain amount of time, the mission would fail.

Since that was the case, then it was better to complete this mission as soon as possible. After all, this was a special mission, so the reward should be pretty good.

Mike thought so and also stood up.

Meanwhile, Stone held the empty wine glass in his hand and shouted loudly,

“Boss, another glass of beer.”

Mike looked at the excited Stone and looked at the boss helplessly.

“Is there any container that can hold wine?”

The Dwarf boss with a long beard laughed loudly and took out a leather wine bag from the bar counter. After filling it with beer, he handed it to little tree spirit Stone.

“Little guy, this wine bag is for you. It’s free.”

“Boss, you’re so cool!” little tree spirit Stone hugged the wine bag in surprise and looked as if he would never part with it.

“Okay, let’s go,” Mike said and walked out of the tavern.

It had to be said that the owner of the Furnace City Tavern was indeed very different from the owner of the City of Light Tavern.

The bartender in the City of Light always looked uninterested in everything and no one knew what he was thinking about every day.

However, this was not important to Mike. What was important was that he was going to Malt City now.

“There’s a carriage outside the city. I’ll hire one,” Lilia said.

“That’s fine.” Mike did not refuse.

In fact, it would be faster for Mike to walk there.

However, since Lilia wanted to follow him, it was obviously more convenient to take a carriage.

The two people and a tree walked to the horse barn outside the city and hired a coachman and a carriage.

After they opened the curtain and got into the carriage, the coachman sitting outside the curtain gently patted the horse’s butt and drove the carriage forward.

Although the speed was not fast, it was comfortable.

At this time, Mike looked at the native Elf next to him again.

Judging from the materials on her clothes, Lilia should not be a noble.

However, she was definitely not an ordinary person.

Ordinary people could not afford to wear clothes made of silk.

Therefore, Lilia should be a subordinate of a noble or even a royal family, working for her master.

It was because of this that she had this ancient Dwarven craft blueprint. This kind of rare thing was not something that ordinary people could get.

After reaching this conclusion, Mike was sure that the reward for this mission would not be too low.

As for who Lilia was working for, Mike was not interested, nor would he casually inquire about it.

Stone was sipping on the beer in the beer bag, while Lilia was looking at the scenery outside the carriage silently as if she had something on her mind.

In such a quiet atmosphere, Mike decided to close his eyes and rest for a while.

After the carriage traveled smoothly for a distance, it suddenly stopped.

Judging from the distance, the carriage definitely had not reached Malt City. At most, it was only halfway there.

Lilia was about to ask what had happened.

However, an accident happened.

A sharp sword suddenly pierced through the curtain of the carriage!
