After finalizing the details with Noel, Roland didn't leave the Blacksmith Guild immediately. Instead, he returned to his own workshop.
Although he had a lead on the Mithril, Noel had said that smuggling the scraps to the River Domain while avoiding the watchful eyes of the Dwarf Royal Family would be no easy feat, and the exact timing was impossible to predict.
Naturally, Roland couldn't let such uncertainty slow his pace of improving his strength.
Therefore, it was highly unlikely he would get his hands on the Mithril before setting out to eliminate the Pirates.
However, Roland wasn't particularly bothered by this.
Firstly, his original plan was to inscribe Elements onto ordinary iron weapons to create a batch of single-use Enchanted Weapons.
The opportunity to get Mithril was just a pleasant surprise.
Secondly…
Roland didn't know the Mithril refining techniques that the Dwarves strictly forbade from being shared with outsiders.
