The blacksmith was looking to get his hands on a very powerful and dangerous magical scroll. It was said that this scroll was capable of allowing the user to perform an extremely powerful, dangerous and ancient magical blade. The man knew that if he could pull this off, his name would be legend, etched in the history books as one of the most renowned blacksmiths throughout all of history. It was far too tantilizing for the man to pass up, so he was calling on Mikajia, the man he had been able to trust most to complete his tasks properly, quickly, and efficiently.
Godfrey had given Mikajia the go-ahead to use any force or means necessary to achieve his goal. That meant he need not hold back. He could go all out, in fact Godfrey seemed to actually prefer that route based on how he was wording it. The fewer witnesses left the better. It was paramount to Godfrey that he not be connected to this by any means, as it would very likely destroy his reputation as a best case. At worst, he and Mikajia both would be hauled off to jail.
