Elwyn Line

Originally, the Duchy of Belmar was built to defend against monsters from Loran, of course, in the style of the Duchy of Belmar, of course, it would not cost much to build a military fortress such as a fortress, and those so-called constructions were actually based on the tree holes left by the original elves, adding some human-style facilities for personnel to station. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Overall, it's still a strange elven style, but it's still a long way from Huttonmar. So it's a little more desolate than Huttonmar, and it's mostly populated by hurried merchants, grim-faced mercenaries, and swords-and-swords, smiling adventurers...

At the entrance to Loran, a loose group of Duchy Belmar soldiers guarded it, while a caravan slowly moved from far to near.

"Yo! Hello Ross! Tsk, I've made a lot of money this time! Sometimes I envy you adventurers..."

"Spare me, Shino! We're all buying *** from your leisure, I'm far behind. ”

"Hey, hey! I don't know yet, this Loren monster is no threat to you at all. ”

“... Gotcha, whatever you say, let's go! Let's go to the Moonlight Tavern for a drink tonight! ”

Rose shouted, greeted the soldier at the head of the group, and the guards of the pass let the caravan pass pass.

"Chief, we're going to have a drink tonight, too...", looking at the distant caravan, a guard of the Duchy of Belmar said cautiously to the captain Shino.

"Hey! I think so! But are you in for a treat? Shino squinted at the guy who had just spoken.

The guy waved his hand again and again:

"Huh! When I didn't say..."

――――――

And the other side

The caravan entered the Elwin Line and stopped in front of a tree-hole inn.

As soon as the convoy came to a halt, a human girl with silver-gray hair and a green dress flashed out of the hotel, and she walked up to Rose with her hands behind her back.

"Big Brother Rose! Did you get the Great World Instrument? ”

Rose scratched the back of his head in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Celia! I haven't found it for the time being, and I haven't heard any news about the Great World Instrument on the side of the Void Motherland. However, I heard from a fellow adventurer that there may be news that there may be a small world instrument that suddenly appeared on the sky city near the west coast, but I don't know if it's true or not, and I will go to the west coast myself after this mission is completed! ”

The girl's face seemed to be a little disappointed, but after hesitating for a moment, she still showed a gentle smile and said, "Even..., the small world instrument is okay!" Thank you, Big Brother Rose! Want to come in and try Celia's freshly grilled veal steak? ”

"Huh! No, we're going to get our weapons repaired at Linus next door, and then we're going to Huttonmar. Celia, next time... Next! I'll definitely come to you with the little world—" Rose said solemnly as she looked at the girl.

"Hmmm! Then please—" Celia smiled sweetly.

Hearing this, Rose nodded to Celia and then turned to the caravan guard behind him and said, "Guys, it's time to take care of your baby!" ”

As he spoke, he pulled out his door-sized giant sword, and took the lead in walking to the uncle who was watching the excitement with a pipe in his mouth.

I saw that the guy looked to be forty or fifty years old, with a strand of gray hair on his sideburns, and was wearing an iron-striking apron, and he was looking at Rose who was walking by with interest.

"Yo! Linus—" Rose greeted.

The uncle-like man stretched out his hand to Rose, and Rose tacitly threw the giant sword in his hand, Linus intercepted it with one hand and held it in his hand, and the other hand slowly stroked the fine jagged gaps in the raised sword, and his eyes flashed with an inexplicable light.

"Looks like you've come across a strong enemy?"

Linus looked up.

Rose smiled and said nonchalantly: "Hehe! No, it's just that I ran into that madman from Kuran when I was in the Void Motherland..."

"Is that the [Meteor Knife]?"

"Hmm!" Rose fell silent suddenly.

Linus patted Rose on the shoulder and said:

"This sword can actually be stronger! Of course~ the premise is that you have to have gold coins.... As for now, all right! I'll take care of it! How many weapons do you still have to repair? ”

(Gold Coins...) ）

Rose looked frustrated, but still counted back, and replied, "16!" ”

"Completed in two hours! Receive 1,200 gold coins. Linus leaned his greatsword against the furnace, formulaically timed it, and then held out his right hand to Rose.

"Huh! Should I say it's you? Linus! Rose looked at the man in the blacksmith's apron, but saw nothing but coldness on his face.

...

"Alright! The money is here... An hour! I'm going to fix it all! ”

As he spoke, Rose tossed a money bag.

The corners of Linus's mouth curled up and he reached out to catch the money bag, snap, snap! He took two puffs of cigarette and said, "No problem! ”

Rose nodded, Linus's craftsmanship was naturally not said, and what he said just now that as long as there are gold coins, the sword can become stronger is also true, but Ross is unwilling to try...

The reason is simple, what Linus calls intensification. Referring to an incomparably evil woman somewhere in Huttonmar, how evil is that woman? Say so! So evil that Rose didn't even want to mention her name. This wicked woman has mastered a technique - using a special instrument to strengthen weapons, as long as you have enough gold and strong character, even a ubiquitous wooden stick can be strengthened enough to rival an artifact! But the premise gold coins... Enough gold...

Countless adventurers joined the team of strengthening weapons one after another, artifacts, legends, epics, rare, high-level, common, countless equipment were thrown into that mysterious device, and then someone succeeded, but many more only got a pile of scrap metal...

When they wanted to trouble the woman, they suddenly found that the woman was a powerful sharpshooter from the heavenly realm, and the adventurers succumbed to the roar of bullets and cannons.

And Rose's last weapon was turned into a ball of scrap metal in the woman's hand, and of course his gold coins disappeared along with him...

If he hadn't met Linus, he would have starved to death on the streets of Huttonmar.

Seeing that Rose's face was a little bad, Gardem coughed twice:

"Ahem! Why did that guy from Linus cheat your gold again? ”

"Not really, it's just the sword..."

Hearing Rose mention the sword, Gardem suddenly thought of the crazy middle-aged man with several long knives on his back that he had met in the Void Country before, and he smiled and said:

"Why bother! The sword in your hand is just an ordinary weapon that you bought from Linus, and that guy in Curlan has the legendary 'Meteorfall Knife' in his hand! ”

Rose lowered his head, and his face seemed to have some vicissitudes: "No! I was still defeated, and someone once told me that 'equipment, luck, condition, and everything that can affect the outcome of the game can be counted as a kind of strength -- the loser has no say!' ’。 ”

Then he turned to the crowd behind him: "Everyone rest in place!" Set off in an hour -- Huttonmar! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

But Rose didn't see it, and after he turned around, Linus's lips squirmed and said in an inaudible voice:

"My sword! It's not as weak as you think..."
