NOVEL NEXT WORLD Chapter 511: Little Gold's Promotion
The black liquid immediately began boiling, bubbling up and splashing onto the floor. The once smooth surface of the ground was quickly corroded, leaving numerous small holes.
The next moment, Bellamy pulled the supreme spear out of the container, and a brilliant golden light instantly illuminated the underground forge. Along with it came Bellamy's excited laughter: "Hahaha, that little dwarf, if he knew I could succeed without his help, he'd be absolutely furious!"
"Charles, thank you for your help. From now on, you're my friend, Bellamy! I'll give you all the Gold Essence I promised you!" Bellamy eagerly waved the not yet completed golden quality long sword in his hand, overwhelmed with excitement.
Previously, due to Isolde's interference, Bellamy's forging attempt had failed, and the dwarf from the North District had heard about it and mocked him mercilessly. It had made Bellamy so upset that he couldn't eat for days.
But now, with Charles' help, he had successfully forged the golden quality long sword. Bellamy couldn't wait to show it off to that dwarf from the North District.
"No need, just give me the 50kg of Gold Essence we agreed upon," Charles said.
Bellamy stopped waving the long sword and shook his head. "No, the Giant Clan never holds back from friends!"
Charles smiled. The friendship of a legendary level blacksmith was invaluable.
"Alright then, I'll take the 50kg of Gold Essence, but maybe I'll need your help forging a suitable weapon in the future," Charles suggested, offering a compromise.
Bellamy waved his hand dismissively. "No need. Right now, you're only a Level 4 Beast Master, so an orange quality weapon will be just fine for you. My golden quality weapons are already pre ordered by others, there's nothing extra. Otherwise, I'd give you one!"
Charles chuckled helplessly and said, "I already have an orange quality weapon. But in the future, when I gather enough materials, I'll need your help to forge something."
Bellamy, being generous, couldn't let someone help him for free. Once Charles collected the materials, Bellamy would help him forge it, and that was already a big favor.
"I'll take a look at your current orange quality weapon," Bellamy said as he set the long sword down and turned to Charles.
Soon, the black gold long knife was in Bellamy's hands. He studied it carefully for about half a minute before handing it back to Charles and saying, "I don't actually have a weapon more suitable for you than this long knife. It'll serve you well for a while. I'll give you a materials list shortly, which can be used to enhance this knife."
"If everything goes smoothly, it can upgrade the quality from orange quality to golden quality."
Upon hearing Bellamy's words, Charles' eyes instantly lit up. He quickly asked, "This long knife is called the Black Gold Long Knife. It can be enhanced?"
Honestly, it was hard to find a weapon more suitable for Charles than the Black Gold Long Knife. The multi property Black Gold Knife Glow was one of his most crucial offensive tools.
The orange quality Black Gold Long Knife might soon fall behind as Charles' strength continues to increase.
"Of course, it can be enhanced, but some of the materials I don't have on hand. They're hard to find. If you manage to gather them, just come to me!" Bellamy said, patting his chest, making a dull sound.
By the time Charles left Bellamy's villa, it was already dusk.
In addition to the 50kg of Gold Essence, he had also received a materials list for enhancing the Black Gold Long Knife, and on top of that, he had gained the friendship of a legendary level alchemist.
This was truly a huge gain!
However, just as he reached the entrance of the villa, Charles saw someone pacing back and forth outside.
It was the genius Beast Master, Calista, whom he had encountered earlier in the Beast Master Guild headquarters lobby.
"Isolde, what are you doing here?" Calista rushed over.
Isolde waved his hand helplessly, casually responding, "Just here to help a friend with something, we're leaving now."
With that, he turned and walked away with Charles, leaving Calista standing there, staring at their backs, unsure of what to think.
It wasn't until a long time later that Calista snapped out of his thoughts, looking at the villa in front of him. He clenched his teeth and walked inside.
Back at the Beast Master Guild headquarters, when Calista had first tried to ask Isolde for help, it was to have the legendary blacksmith Bellamy forge a suitable weapon for him.
Of course, it was just an orange quality weapon; even his master, who was the vice president of the Beast Master Guild, wouldn't have been able to get Bellamy to forge him a golden quality weapon.
Surprisingly, Isolde had rejected his request outright in the lobby.
Unwilling to give up, Calista had come to the area around Bellamy's villa, hoping to try his luck. He never expected to run into both Charles and Isolde.
Calista took a deep breath and slowly pressed the doorbell. He had heard many rumors about Bellamy's fiery temper and unstable emotions, and now he felt quite nervous.
"Ding dong!" The doorbell rang.
Bellamy's huge voice came from inside the villa, surprisingly gentle: "My friend, did you forget to tell me something?"
Calista's face lit up, immediately feeling that the rumors were false. Bellamy's temperament was actually very gentle! He had called him "friend" right from the start!
Calista instinctively put on a warm smile. When the villa's door opened, he humbly said, "Respected Mr. Bellamy, I am the disciple of the Vice President of the Beast Master Guild. I have come today to..."
Calista's voice trailed off as he noticed the giant's expression change to one of anger.
Seeing that the person at the door wasn't Charles, Bellamy immediately became enraged, shouting, "Who is this idiot? Get lost before I lose my temper!"
"No, you misunderstand, I'm not an idiot, I'm from the Beast Master Guild..." Calista's words were cut off as a massive fist sent him flying.
"I don't care who you are. You're not my friend Charles, so don't waste my time. Get out!" Bellamy slammed the door shut.
Outside the villa, by the roadside,
Calista, feeling dizzy, stood up. He shook his head hard, doubting whether he had heard wrong just now.
"Friend? Charles?"
Who exactly is this Charles?
Not only is he a friend of Isolde, but he's also a friend of the legendary level blacksmith giant Bellamy?
Calista had seen that guy before, and he was nothing more than a Level 4 Beast Master!
A twenty something Level 4 Beast Master what right did he have to be better than him?
Isolde ignored him, and Bellamy had even knocked him flying! How could it be that, as a genius Beast Master from Central City and the disciple of the Vice President of the Beast Master Guild, he couldn't compare to a Level 4 Beast Master who just appeared out of nowhere?
"No, wait. That guy… wasn't he supposed to be called Elowen? Could it be fake?" Calista's eyes instantly turned sharp.
Without hesitation, he turned around and headed toward the Beast Master Guild. He was going to investigate this guy named Charles or Elowen properly!
Soon, with a cold expression on his face, Calista entered the Beast Master Guild's database. Using the permissions granted to him as the disciple of the Vice President, he began searching for information about Charles.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he typed in Charles' name, the computer in the database completely froze. There was no response at all.
"Damn it, I'll have to get the repair crew to fix it." Calista muttered under his breath.
What he didn't know was that a special command had been sent through the database's computer directly to the top floor of the Beast Master Tower, along with the surveillance footage from the database query room.
On the other side,
Charles found a hotel with a Beast Master training room. He was in no mood to rest and went straight into the training room.
All the promotion materials for Little Gold were ready, and Charles was eager to see if Little Gold, after its promotion, would rise from diamond quality to something even higher!
A hexagram array appeared, and Little Gold appeared directly in the training room.
Charles took out the 50kg of Gold Essence that Bellamy had given him from his Storage Space.
Gold Essence [orange quality]: A special metallic material, usually used for forging orange quality weapons and equipment. It can improve the toughness of weapons or the defense capability of armor. It can also be used as promotion material for mystical beasts.
Then, Charles opened Little Gold's information and glanced through it:

"Four evolution routes… I wonder if it can increase its quality even further!" Charles took a deep breath, then, without hesitation, tossed the 50kg of Gold Essence to Little Gold.
Before the Gold Essence even hit the ground, Little Gold immediately bit it, starting to devour it rapidly.
"Just like you… even promotion materials get eaten straight up," Charles sighed and muttered in amusement.
Before long, in just a short amount of time, Little Gold had consumed all 50kg of Gold Essence. Then, a series of dazzling golden lights began to radiate from Little Gold's body.
To be precise, the light was emanating from Little Gold's stomach.
