After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 1411

Chapter 1411: Bitterness Between Toolmakers

Aetat touched an empty desk. He remembered standing behind this and looking at the former master and Kalfene focus on work. The master had taught that bastard everything. In contrast, the rest of them were taught how to assist Kalfene best!

His eyes were dark."I wonder how long you could still own this place you don’t have a right to."

Kalfene frowned. Elron thought about intervening, but he also worried if it’d add a botch in his plans to leave.

How could he live if he were thrown in prison for possibly hurting a toolmaker?

Kalfene pushed up his glasses and looked at his former junior with a frown. "You realize it’s... bad manners to enter another’s workshop without express permission, right?

"I thought master taught you better than that."

Aetat flinched, eyes sharpening as he looked at him. "Master is gone! And you are not the only one of the few who has that inheritance," he said, gritting his teeth. "Don’t patronize me."

His words obviously triggered something in Aetat, making the others look at him. Menzon gazed at Aetat deeply. Kalfene’s words were not wrong, and they were not too harsh. It did not warrant such a hostile reaction.

Obviously, he had a vendetta against his senior brother. Did he bring him here to do something? Was he using him as an attacking point?

This was just him being petty to his senior brother, right? He never even tried to negotiate the switch as promised.

Menzon’s impression of his old friend dipped down, though said friend didn’t notice anything.

It had to be said: Although Menzon seemed to lack talent in the field he was supposed to be gifted at, he wasn’t too big of a fool.

Anyway, Aetat was indeed triggered.

Kalfene was the Master’s first and favorite apprentice. Their late master, Ashon, was one of the rare people who was willing to share a lot more knowledge than normal with other people. Many didn’t understand the generosity, but everyone wanted to take advantage. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

In fact, even if the toolmaker had nothing to do with him, if they went to ask him questions, he would answer them to some degree.

However, like Hoffen, that old guy also didn’t formally take apprentices for a long time. The difference was that in his master’s case changed a few decades ago when he discovered Kalfene, a slave.

He had heard this story thousands of times. That old man, whenever he was drunk and bonding with them, would somehow mention how they met.

Apparently, when he was visiting another City, he met the "brightest boy". He was asked to be one of his valets during his visit, but was surprised when he saw the boy looking at his drafts that he had left on the table.

At first, the boy was very scared when he got caught, but when the master allegedly started asking some questions out of curiosity—something about pattern and pattern recognition or whatever— and the brilliant boy’s thought processes and creativity impressed him.

Anyway, the late master saw young Kalfene’s potential and bought him off, and he began his training from as young as 15 years old. Unexpectedly, he reached the peak of Class D only after a few decades, earning his own freedom.

"Even if I’m being outcasted, the Lord is doing it so I will choose to serve him," Kalfene said. "What will you do if I say yes? What do you think will happen to you?"

Kalfene ended up growing to be the best of the best in aether letter making. He could make a letter in 2 to 3 days, which was less than half the time of others. Others also had 50% less success rates than he did!
