"Hey, lad." He looked at Liam with his piercing blue eyes. His old age and frailty had suddenly vanished, only the aura of an expert remained.
"Do you wish to become stronger?"
"Ah?" Liam revealed a surprised expression.
"You look like someone who is not afraid of hard work and getting your hands dirty with the stink of metals." The old man smiled.
"Do you want to pursue an ancient craft that can bestow a tremendous amount of power and strength upon you?"
