97 – Yggdrasil (3)

-Knock knock knock.

-Kang! Kang! Kang!

I knocked on the door.

However, no sound is heard.

All you can hear is the sound of hammers hitting.

-Owner. I guess it’s something you’re working on?

‘It seems so.’

A gazelle that doesn’t take requests, but still hits the hammer out of habit.

Usually in such cases, you just need to be quiet so as not to be disturbed.

So I carefully opened the door.

Then.

-Kang! Kang!

A dwarf with a bushy beard and short stature appeared.

He seemed to be quite concentrating, as he didn’t turn his head even when the door was opened.

I don’t understand why a retired man works so hard.

I watched him banging the hammer for a moment.

-Kang!

Are you sure he is a legendary blacksmith? Even as an ordinary person, I understand.

Something different from other blacksmiths.

All you have to do is hit the hammer.

But, something is different.

While blacksmiths usually just strike without thinking, gazelles seem to know exactly where to strike.

Of course, an ordinary blacksmith would also think and strike.

‘But even if I, an ordinary person, can’t recognize it, the difference will be noticeable.’

I keep watching the gazelle from behind.

“Hey. “It’s a failure after all.”

He clicks his tongue and throws away the shiny sword.

It doesn’t look like a failure to anyone.

I guarantee that if you sell that, the nobles will pay all the money to survive.

Seeing Gazelle say something like that is a failure, I think I once again realize how outstanding a blacksmith he is.

The time when I reevaluate the gazelle.

“We do not accept requests.”

The gazelle refuses even before I speak.

If anyone sees it, they will think that they have read my inner thoughts.

I opened my mouth in confusion.

“Do you know what I’m going to say and refuse?”

“That’s right. “Isn’t this because you wanted to request me to make a weapon?”

“Well, that’s true. “How did you know that?”

“That’s right. “The physiognomy looks exactly like that.”

What is it about my physiognomy that I guess it fits right away?

While I was puzzled, he once again expressed his intention to refuse.

“Anyway, we are not accepting requests.”

“Hmm…”

It comes out quite resolutely.

In the previous episode, it still didn’t reach this level, but maybe it was because the time zone was different?

I think this is a pretty sensitive time.

“Are you saying you won’t accept any weapons?”

From Noble mtl dot com

“It’s obvious that the weapon you’re requesting will be no big deal anyway.”

“Hmm. Okay. That’s sad. “I thought that someone called the legendary blacksmith would make a weapon like this.”

I grinned and took out the bamboo spear.

Then, he glances at Jukchang.

He tilts his head.

Then after a while.

“?!”

A gazelle with its eyes wide open.

Yes. I knew you would notice.

On the outside, it may look like just a wooden stick, but in reality, it is no different from a decisive battle weapon.

If he were the god of blacksmithing, he would immediately recognize the true value of the bamboo spear.

And sure enough.

“Well, that’s…?!”

I was very surprised when I saw my weapon.

As expected, as he is called the god of blacksmiths, I recognized its true value right away.

Soon, he says.

“Now, is it possible to just look at it for a moment?!”

“Hmm. I would like to, but I also want to show it to outsiders. Anyway, since I said I’m not taking requests, I’ll just leave.”

With those words, I tried to go out the door.

Then, he urgently stops me.

“Now, just a moment!”

I tried to lower the corners of my mouth that were rising.

Then, he slowly turned his head.

“Yes. Well, do you have anything to say?”

“Well, that is…”

He trails off at my question.

Judging by the reaction, it looks like he is quite worried.

In times like this, it’s better to urge them even more.

Anyway, I am in charge of the current situation.

Therefore, there is no reason for me to suffer any loss.

“Hmm. Well, I don’t have anything more to say, so I’ll just leave…”

“I will take on the request!”

A gazelle that cuts off my horse’s waist and says it will take on the request.

At those words, I openly grinned and raised the corners of my mouth.

At the same time.

-I will take on the request!

The gazelle’s voice rang in my ears.

The gazelle looks up at me.

Soon, he asked.

“Do you often hear people call you the devil?”

“Well, what…”

Even the devil listens to it. What?

I just shrugged my shoulders while swallowing my words.

***

A gazelle looking in admiration at a bamboo spear.

Soon, he asked in a voice full of curiosity.

“Where on earth did you get this?”

“Why? Are you curious?”

“Wouldn’t you be curious? “A weapon I’ve never seen before appears before my eyes!”

He must have been quite excited, so his voice suddenly got louder.

If I told you about regression, it would be obvious that you wouldn’t believe me.

So, I recited the excuse I had in mind.

“I found it in a dungeon. “That’s it.”

“Hmm. Is it. Anyway, what kind of request are you trying to entrust?”

“Ah, yes. Is it possible to make something similar to this weapon?”

“What?”

The gazelle opened its eyes wide at those words.

Soon, he takes a look at the bamboo spear.

And then, he shakes his head.

“Hmm. “I’m sorry, but I don’t think that will work.”

“Why?”

“At first glance, it looks like the materials themselves are difficult to obtain.”

As he said that, he looked at the bamboo spear closely.

Recite the ingredients slowly.

“I don’t know how you got it, but there appears to be a World Tree branch, elixir, mithril, orichalcon, and a scroll containing all kinds of magic and curses. “How is that correct?”

The gazelle looks at the bamboo spear and asks.

It seems she immediately realized that it was her ego weapon.

Next moment.

-Boom!

Jukchang, transformed into a human, looks down.

“Yes! “How did you know?”

“Well, I’ve been doing this for decades, so this is a piece of cake.”

I guess I ate Jjambap with poop.

I turned my head and asked.

“Anyway, you’re saying you can’t even start it in the first place because of the materials?”

“If you think about it that way, you can see it. To be honest, how would you get such materials? The branches of the World Tree are here now, so if you do well, you can save them, but you know the rest, right?”

Of course, it is natural to think differently.

Elixir is a potion that only exists in legend.

If you want to save Mithril and Orichalkon, wouldn’t you have to find the stars in the sky?

Even magic scrolls are quite difficult to obtain.

Get those things at once.

Even so, it is almost impossible to obtain the elixir.

But.

‘After all, it’s from here.’

As someone who already knows the knowledge of the original work, it is not difficult to obtain them.

What’s more, wasn’t it already saved in the previous episode?

“Then it won’t matter.”

“What?”

“That’s right. “I have prepared all the ingredients here.”

I took out Mithril, Orichalcon, Elixir, World Tree Branch, Magic Scroll, and Curse Scroll from the subspace ring.

Gazelle saw that and opened her mouth.

He asked with a trembling voice.

“Well, where did they come from?”

“Well, I found the rest by going to dungeons and using money. And I was able to get some branches of the World Tree with this guy.”

I quietly pointed to the bamboo spear.

Jukchang puts his hands on his hips and lets out his snort.

“Ahem!”

“I don’t know what this guy is doing. “Looking at you, I don’t think you’re an ordinary human being.”

“Well, I won’t use it for anything bad, so you don’t have to worry.”

“Hmm. I don’t think it’s physiognomy at all, but I’ll just believe it. The eyes look like those of a true person. “Anyway, is scrolling enough?”

“Yes. Do you have a problem?”

“There is no problem, but it feels like a waste, isn’t it? “They all contain only wide-area orders.”

“What…”

You may think it’s a waste.

In a way, isn’t this an opportunity to pack multiple types of spells into one weapon?

But honestly, it doesn’t matter to me right now.

Because I have a bamboo spear anyway.

In fact, this guy is almost an all-rounder.

But.

‘The problem is that there is no wide area plane.’

Jukchang is no different from the strongest in a one-on-one match.

However, even a bamboo spear has its limits against a large number of people.

That’s why it’s all about focusing on wide-area weapons and other weapons.

If only I had that, my weaknesses would be compensated to some extent.

“So do you think you can do it?”

“Hmm. I don’t know. Weapons are rarely made from these materials. In particular, it’s my first time using world tree branches and elixirs.”

“Then what if we study this guy?”

“It certainly seems like the odds will go up.”

“Oh, just wait, are you selling me?”

At that moment, the bamboo spear looked at me as if it sensed an ominous premonition.

Uh huh. Don’t misunderstand that I’m selling it.

“I’m not selling it. “I’m just lending it to you for a little while.”

“Isn’t that what you’re selling?”

“Hey. That can’t be possible. “This is all for the little brother you will have.”

“······.”

Jukchang looked at me with cold eyes, but I tried to ignore it and asked the gazelle.

“How long do you think it will take?”

“Hmm. “It will take about a day.”

“Yes. All right. Then, I have company, so I’ll just go.”

With those words, I walked towards the princess.

I tried to ignore the stinging gaze I felt on the back of my head.

***

After entrusting the request, I headed to the princess.

After a while, we finally arrived at our destination.

“Hmm?”

As soon as we arrived, what was reflected in our eyes was none other than the dark expression of the princess’s world.

What on earth was the meeting about to make her look like that?

“Princess.”

“Ah, are you here? Professor.”

“Yes. But could it be that the story didn’t work out well?”

“Oh, that’s not it.” “But why are you making such a dark expression?”

“Ah, they say the devil’s army is invading this place right now.”

“Uh…”

f*ck? Already?
