Parker's voice was particularly clear in the open forest, what kind of agreement could Alan make with the young man in front of him, who had only known each other for just one hour?

Seeing Alan's somewhat puzzled expression, Parker crossed his hands on his chest and said,

"Isn't it too sudden, I think so, but sometimes here, some terrible ideas pop up suddenly, but this is the so-called swordsmith, with all kinds of strange and varied thinking, in order to create the perfect weapon."

Parker pointed to his head and began to talk to Alan about the 'terrible' thoughts that were now in his head.

"Alan, I've always been quite accurate in seeing people. While most of the scars on your sword weren't caused by you, the most lethal blow was enough to tell you about your strength. I'm a swordsmith, but I'm also a true lover, and there are many people who come to me to make weapons. I have a dream to make 'Briza' the most powerful swordsmith brand on the continent of Alelaste. So I'll make an appointment with those talented swordsmen. If one day, Alan, you can stand at the top of the peak of swordsmanship in this world, I will definitely come to you and build you the best weapon for free! If a famous swordsman uses my weapon, then the day is not far off when I will stand at the top of the swordsmith. ”

Parker said confidently, but Alan was really shocked by his idea.

- The apex of the swordsman

Alan glanced at the broken sword beside him, and then at the dilapidated 'Briza'. The man in front of him has an incredible ideal, but it can't match the reality of the situation.

――Is it because of that?

Alan suddenly remembered the thing he had seen in the house before,

"Parker, how many people have you made this pact with?"

"Count your words, three."

Parker didn't mind Allen's direct question, blurting out,

"Alan, do you think I'm superficial and make appointments with people casually for a dream that seems unreal?"

"No, you have a big dream, but I can't say I've never thought about it that way. Every swordsman will look up to that apex, but few will actually say it. Because he knows that the possibility of realization is very small, but he is still working hard, if those people casually talk about their dreams, then their inaction in the future will not become a handle for the people around him to laugh at his dreams. ”

I have to say that Alan has some liking the man in front of him. It can be regarded as a kind of appreciation, daring to spread the impossible infinitely, and pinning opportunities and hopes on others

- But is he really just such a superficial swordsmith?

"People who don't even dare to talk about their dreams are extremely pathetic in my opinion. If you want something, you have to fight for it desperately, as long as it doesn't harm the lives of others, why not use it? People, the best thing to say is to help each other, and to put it bluntly, it is to use each other, as long as both parties can benefit, why not. ”

Parker's words would have been scoffed at by Allen in the past. But after his mother left, he slowly learned that in order to survive on his own, some rules need to be adapted by himself. The world will not take special care of you because of your misfortune.

"Parker, of course I can promise you what I agreed, after all, it won't do me any harm. But before I do that, I want to ask you a question. ”

The object he had seen earlier in Parker's house came to Alan's mind. It was a single-edged sword with a slightly curved blade. There is no hilt decoration, and the blade is directly exposed. The back of the blade glows black, and the blade glows silver. The sword exudes an incredible presence. Even in the dimly lit room, Alan could still see its gorgeous figure at a glance. What attracted Allen the most was the beautiful wavy pattern on the surface of the blade, which he had never seen before. The sword was simply hung on the wall without any decoration, but for some reason, the eye was drawn to it, and it was never forgotten at a glance.

"Did you make that sword in the house?"

Parker paused, realized what Eren was referring to, and oh,

"You mean that 'sword', it was indeed my brainchild, a few years ago. But it wasn't a sword, it was a knife. ”

When Parker said the word 'knife', Alan paused for a moment, on this continent, there are indeed swordsmen who use knives, but they are limited to sword-like weapons such as the Taidao, and the 'knife' in the house has subverted Allen's perception of this type of weapon from the appearance.

"And this knife, did you also forge it for someone?"

"Yes, it's just that the owner of this knife has left this world forever, and now this knife is just a decoration."

Parker's face was palpably sad, and it seemed that the owner of the knife had an unusual relationship with him. Alan silently made up his mind in his heart and proposed,

"Can you forge me a knife like this one?"

"What?"

Parker was a little surprised, originally thought that Alan had given up the idea of buying a sword, but he didn't expect to suddenly make such a request now.

"No, I can't. I only build the right weapons for the right people. This knife is not for you, so-"

Parker's apologetic reply drew a smile from Allen,

"Great, you're not a superficial swordsmith."

Parker was confused by Eren again, but after a few moments, he understood Alan's intentions.

"You're tempting me."

"yes, you're not going to be angry, are you?"

"Not really. Alan, you are the second swordsman to ask me like this after the owner of this sword, I really miss it."

Parker looked up at the gray sky, the nostalgia for the deceased, Allen couldn't help but think of his late mother,

"Who is she?"

"Her name is Jiuyue, and she is Mei's sister. A swordsman who is inspired to reach the top. However, when I met her, she was just like you, and she didn't know how dazzling her light was. ”

When Parker mentions the name Nine Moon, the sadness on his face is replaced by happiness, Alan doesn't quite understand such a change, but Alan can indeed tell that Parker is in love with this girl named Nine Moon.

"Ellen, do you know what the first thing Jiuyue said to me when she wanted me to forge a sword for her?"

Such a question was obviously Parker's self-questioning, so Alan didn't want to answer him, just quietly waited for him to continue. (To be continued.) )
