I like that this story already showing that ex party having disturbance in 2nd chapter. I guess this is the difference set up from other similar series
I find it weird that all of sudden the mc acts like he actually knows the sollution for his problem. Why didn't he do that before? Maybe amulet crafter went into hiding because of the reputation or the mc became lazy because he is not in frontline
He wasn't aware that it would even work that way. He had an idea it could, but he wasn't 100%. Combined with the fact that amulet crafters are looked down upon (he probably hasn't come across any till now) and he isn't a front liner, there was no actual chance.
