Chapter 16 The Assignment of the Swordsmith

"Knock knock—" A sharp knock on the door woke Haruka from her sleep.

“。。。。。。 He slowly sat up from his bed, it was the third day of his arrival at the king of Altinia, Dufars, and after escorting Iskar back to the palace, he had spent the days in idleness on the manor next to the palace under the arrangement of King Salz.

"Bang-" Seeing that no one responded for a long time, the person outside the door roughly kicked open the door, only to see Yimu slowly enter the room.

"What, it's Teacher Yimu. Haruka scratched his head with his hand and lay down again.

"Is the great hero known as the Black Sword Ji living in such a mess every day?" Yim paced to the window, tearing open the heavy curtain, and the originally dim room instantly became bright.

"It's not good to be muddy, everyone knows me now, and if you go out, it will cause onlookers and riots. Haruka recalls the scene of the first day of arriving at the royal capital, the grand welcome ceremony and the thousands of people who gathered to chant the king's name and the title of Kuro Ken Hime, which shocked Haruka who had thought he was used to big scenes.

"Well, I can understand your feelings, after all, you are a great hero, but while the kingdom is preparing its army, don't you have something to do?"

"Do you want to do something? Does it matter if Iska wakes up?" Haruka asked, holding her head back.

"Really. Yimu walked to the side of the bed, looked at the lazy Haruka and sighed, "Get up, I'll take you somewhere." ”

"Is it inconvenient to go out?"

"Let's put on this dress. Yimu took a stack of black uniforms and threw them on Haruka's bed.

"What is this?"

"The Templar Knight's uniform, bow tie can be tucked away here, like a mask, covering most of his face. Yimu lifted his shirt and showed it to Haruka.

"It turns out that there is such a handsome design, but I didn't expect the taste of the temple to be quite good. Haruka took the clothes and gestured on his body, looking like they were tailor-made.

"Hurry up and change your clothes and come down, I'll wait for you downstairs. Im walked out of the room.

"Tell me, what's the matter with the clothes that have been specially prepared for me to take me out of the door?" asked Haruka in the carriage as he turned to Yimu, who was sitting on the other side.

"In the past two days, I have been reporting to the branch of the temple in this area, and by the way, I have conveyed the bishop's will. ”

"And then?"

"I learned that the most famous swordsmith in the royal capital is recruiting adventurers. ”

"Uh... You're not going to let me go to recruitment, are you?"

"That's right. ”

"Hey, hey, who still has the heart to accept the entrusted task at this time, I'm also a... Heroes, right? How can you do such a thing. Haruka said with a gloomy face.

"Ouch, have you started to call yourself a hero?"

"No, no, it's just that now I don't have the heart to do it for others... Before Haruka could finish speaking, Yimu suddenly kicked the saber on Haruka's waist, and only a small piece of the saber that had been broken before was stuck in the scabbard, and when she kicked it like this, the entire hilt fell to the ground.

"Your sword is completely broken. ”

"Hmmm... ”

"Since you are going to battle, your sword is your most important companion, and ordinary swords simply cannot withstand your strength, so you need a weapon that can be called a pseudo-artifact-level. ”

"Pseudo-artifact-level weapons?"

"That's right, compared to ordinary weapons, both in quality and durability, and excellent pseudo-artifacts will come with special magic. ”

"Is it like my Yaki Orochi Black Armor?"

"No, the Yaqi Snake given to you by the Black Sword Ji Ailu-sama is made from the corpse of the legendary Warcraft Yaqi Orochi, and it is a real artifact. ”

"In other words, pseudo-artifact-level weapons are better than ordinary weapons, but they are far from reaching the level of artifacts?"

That's pretty much what it means. ”

"So that super-famous swordsmith can also forge a pseudo-artifact-level sword for me?"

"If you can fulfill his commission well. Im replied.

The carriage traveled for about an hour before finally coming to a stop in front of a huge, imposing-looking workshop.

"Is this the place?" Haruka followed Im out of the carriage, and in order not to arouse other ideas, he specially erected the collar of his uniform high.

Pushing through the door of the workshop, you will be greeted by a large exhibition hall with various weapons displayed in display cases and on the walls.

"Welcome, please ask if you have an appointment. The beautiful young waitress stepped forward and asked.

"Sorry, we don't have an appointment. ”

"If you don't have an appointment, I'm afraid you won't be able to receive two of you now.,It's a special period.,The weapons of our store have been out of stock.,So... ”

"No, we're not here to buy weapons, I've heard that there's a mission here, and we want to recruit adventurers. ”

"Understood, please come inside with me, and I'll contact Lord Edward. The waitress saluted the two respectfully, and then led them into the workshop......
