Chapter 275
Chapter 275
After deciding to rejoin Siegfried and his party at the main entrance of the academy, I returned to the professor’s office and had to tilt my head at the chill I felt as soon as I opened the door.
“Master?”
[There’s no one!]
I called out just in case, but I couldn’t feel any popularity, just like Leica’s confirmed kill. I was sure I left it on, so I checked the stove with a sense of wonder, and the lever, which was still set at a low temperature, caught my eye. Thanks to you I looked inside the stove in a dumbfounded mood, and I couldn’t help but frown
.
The spectacle of magic stones that were supposed to be glowing softly with mana, all of which couldn’t emit any light like ordinary stones, made me feel rage beyond absurdity.
How much does this fucking cost, but they mix and sell defective products like this…
“No, no? No matter how bad it is, it doesn’t matter if it’s just one or two defective products. Does it make sense to hit this shit with a bunch?”
If so, it would be an incident worth making headlines for the corruption in the delivery of the Royal Academy.
In fact, I thought that the stove was broken and leaked somewhere, so I put in the remaining magic stones, but it was a stove that started working fine as if I had waited. It seemed that the stove was not to blame for the fact that there was no visible defect.
“I’ll have to get it checked later.”
Just in case Master or Seneran returns, I wrote down notes and pasted them on the memo board and went outside to lock the door. After doing this, I head to the front door, only to realize belatedly that the entire building is noisier than usual
. I told you not to turn off the magic separator!”
“What are you talking about, no one touched that?”
“Huh? Did your back go out? assistant Bring me some magic stones.”
“Didn’t someone make a mistake while experimenting again? All of the magic tools I turned on tasted bad?
” I haven’t written all of the test results yet!!”
Most of these are things that would scare a teaching assistant or researcher into dreaming. By the time I got out, the situation seemed so serious that I thought it was fortunate
that it ended with only one
stove . No. When I arrived at the front gate in such a hurry, Siegfried and his party and Cheryl had already arrived after getting ready and were waiting for me.
“Eldmia. Is the professor dong okay? Other places seem to have suddenly had a problem with mana supply.”
Crazy crazy. Is the situation in the student building or other places the same as the professor’s building? Only large-scale accidents.
“No. Everyone was screaming and screaming. Is it the same elsewhere?”
“Yes. Thanks to that, I almost had a problem getting my pass.”
Even the Imperial Warriors came to the Holy Light Cross, and they must have been beaten very properly. Even though it was a serious situation, I laughed without knowing it
. The dean must be very embarrassed.”
“Well, there are days like that in life. More than that, it’s a sword!”
Siegfried, who is full of anticipation on a subject he doesn’t even know how to stand in the lead, looks excited in the world. Did
n’t show any reaction to Siegfried’s appearance
. I have to tell you the way!”
“Yes. I’m going.”
Well, if it wasn’t for the strange atmosphere, it didn’t matter anyway.
?
Compared to the Empire, it was really nothing to see in the capital, but while heading to the Dwarven District, Siegfried wandered around and looked around. Does it taste good? Anyway, while Siegfried was engrossed in the spectacle, I was able to buy a drink for Mr. Valkun as a gift, so it wasn’t bad. After walking around quite a bit, the
armor shop where Mr. Valkun works is more crowded than the last time I came. People were crowding around to get equipment, and I got a little fed up with the sight, and Siegfried admired,
“Hey, that’s great. Is this the power of the craftsman?”
“Well. How come it seems like there are more of them than last time…?”
Is the business prospering day by day? From my point of view, there was something I said to Siegfried, so it wasn’t a bad situation, but there were too many. I was worried that I wouldn’t be able to meet Mr. Suddenly, a familiar face came towards me:
“Guest! I’ve been waiting for you to come!”
“Oh, nice to meet you again. But you waited for me?”
The waitress, who happened to serve customers every time I came, nodded vigorously with a bright smile.
“Let’s go in first! You can hear the details inside! The situation will get complicated if we talk in a place like this!”
It was hard to understand why she was so excited because she said the situation would get complicated, but anyway, the meeting happened contrary to my worries, so I decided to just follow her instructions. “Lee
Yeol , You’re a very VVIP customer?”
“Again, what unknown term…”
I was confused as usual at Siegfried’s remarks, but I was thinking the same thing in my heart. The things I bought here were due to Mr. Why is it that there is nothing but a freaking sword bought at a bargain price and a freaking handmade throwing weapon
? Eldmia! It’s been a while since I’ve been back!”
As I entered the blacksmith’s shop through the now-familiar passageway, Mr. Balkun turned his head and welcomed me.
“How are you? I’ve been busy with work, so I haven’t had time to show my face. The magic tools you made last time are being used very usefully. I brought a small present, so you can share
it with your apprentices later.” My kids are spoiled! But I’ll take it well!”
Mr. Balkun, who first shook hands with a big hand with a chuckle, smiled even brighter as he accepted the bottles he bought as gifts. The drinks cost more than last time, but it was worth it at all. “Anyways, thanks to you, these
days I was going to say thank you because it was so booming, but I just received it like this!”
“…Me?”
“Yeah! Rumors spread that you stopped by here to buy weapons, and the number of customers increased dramatically! Even some adventurers who were afraid of my name in the past and couldn’t even come close to it are to the point where they forcibly save up money and buy one!” No
matter how much Balkun is said to be the main blacksmith, there are not just enough blacksmiths. Mr. Valkun explained that there is a psychological distance and there are many equipments with good cost-effectiveness, but they are not well known
. There was a time when a snub-nosed kid came to the workshop to get a sword for pennies, and his eyes were unusual, so I gave him a good sword as if he were buying it. But he became very famous over the years, and the reputation of my sword went up as well! It’s one of the proudest moments of my life. I haven’t had that taste lately, but thanks to you, I really enjoy it! The kids are also starting to gain confidence when their products are sold, so it’s nice to see them!” I
can’t believe there was such a background behind Valkun’s secret hobby. A smile spread across my lips involuntarily as I was more delighted with the divination.
”Then I think I will be able to experience it one more time this time. Today I came to ask for someone else’s sword.”
“Hmm? Come to think of it, there were a lot of people! I’m out of my mind… huh?”
Mr. Valkun, who was smiling broadly and looking at the people standing behind me, looked at Siegfried and Cheryl, tilted his head, and asked me.
“The other person? Isn’t it ‘them’?”
“Originally, it was only one person.” “Huh,
it’s shameless to bring two friends like that!”
This looked good.
“Yes, Cheryl, would you like a sword too? It’s your birthday soon, so I’ll buy you a present.”
“…That’s right.”
He tried to pretend to be blunt, but his lips were twitching, so he loved swords and was about to die. I motioned to Siegfried to confront Mr. Valkun.
“Originally, I was going to ask for this man’s weapon.”
“Hmm? Aren’t they friends?”
“Brothers and sisters. Nice to meet you. My name is Siegfried.”
Mr. Valkun, who held Siegfried’s hand as he shook hands with a friendly smile, opened his mouth as he looked at him full of interest.
“It’s amazing. Does the name Siegfried have power? They said that the name of the hero of the empire is also Siegfried, and this guy has a talent that has not yet been polished.” “This is the
hero Siegfried.”
“…Huh?” “I
am that Siegfried!”
All the hands that were working hard in the back stopped and a sudden silence came. However, Siegfried used spatial magic to take out his sword/sword and said to Mr. Valkun, “I’d like to ask you for something like this!
”
. ..Heh heh heh?”
A dejected laugh flowed from Valkun-san’s mouth as he looked at the sword, Siegfried, and me several times.
