Chapter 25. Oh, My God!
“Are you going to help them?”
“Of course. I’ll change my weapon while I’m there.”
Char took out a [Hero’s Sword] that he had given himself when he left the village, the kind that could be found on the street.
“You don’t need to interfere.”
“Eh?”
“If I don’t use the [No-fly Curse] to shoot it down, how are you going to do it?” asked Evelyn curiously.
“Do you see those two fat guys wearing hats?”
“Yes.”
“One of them is Felix Bardi Dawn, and the other is Mendelssohn Rime. They are both human merchants with one-sixteenth of the bloodline of the Light Elves. Although his blood was so diluted that even his great-great-grandmother didn’t recognize him, his bad temper was passed down through his family name. I’m afraid you can’t help but light up the sky lanterns on them.”
Evelyn chuckled and went into hiding.
The Light Elves were the most unreasonable royal family among the elves who claimed to be noble. They were all racist, but in order to survive, they had no choice but to join the United Holy Kingdom and marry humans.
As a feminist society, they only accepted human marriages, so a bunch of mixed-blood humans with elven surnames were born.
The first and second generations still retained the appearance of elves, but in the third, fourth, and fifth generations, they were no different from humans, but their tempers were really bad. This was mainly reflected in their unrestrained licking of the pure-blooded elves and their unscrupulous loathing of the Dark Elves.
Fortunately, Char was a Half-Elf, so he was more accepting than humans.
“You guys seem to be in some trouble,” Char got closer and said coldly.
He wanted to set up the image of an aloof swordsman.
A mixed-blood elf with one-sixteenth of his bloodline was really cheap. If you were strong, he would admire you. If you were gentle, he would look down on you. If you were friendly, he would change his ways to disgust you.
However, Char had half of the elven blood in her, and they regarded her as a symbol of nobility.
“Oh, I can feel the noble blood flowing in your body... You’re also a believer of the Holy Spirit? I’m Felix Bardi Dawn, the person in charge of the Dawn Chamber of Commerce.”
The fat blond merchant was full of smiles, and his voice was like a thick sugar liquid that was fried, so sweet that it was greasy.
“Char,”
Char said indifferently, acting as if he was a thousand miles away from them.
Felix’s opinion of him grew even higher.
“Your Excellency Char, I’m Mendelssohn from the Misty Weapons Factory. Nice to meet you.”
The other silver-haired fat man stretched out his two hands.
His right hand was ready to shake Char’s hand, while his left hand was holding a sword.
It was the standard weapon of the Misty Weapon Factory.
[Misty Sword (one-handed sword)]
Forging weapons.
No. 001567a.
Attack power=2.0*AD. Strength +1. Agility +1.
The meaning was obvious.
As smart as he was, how could he not see that Char was only holding the most ordinary sword?
When comparing the two, Felix felt ashamed. They were both merchants, but he was so slow in befriending Half-Elves with purer bloodlines!
“Nice to meet you, Mendelssohn.”
Char took the sword and shook his hand.
He casually drew his sword, and in an instant, the sword glowed with a cold light that was as bright as the stars. The two merchants and his guards could not help but praise his beautiful move.
“It’s a pity that it’s not a magic weapon. Otherwise, I would have shot that beast down.”
Char looked up.
“Forget it, this place is not far from Astan City. I’ll send you back on the way.”
“You just said that... If it was a magic weapon, you could shoot that guy down?”
Felix was eager to move, and his eyes glanced at the black monster hovering above his head. He had already converted its fur, claws, sharp beak, and so on into gold coins.
“Believe it or not. It’s none of my business.” Char snorted coldly.
“I do believe you. Of course, I do!”
Felix smiled obsequiously, and the ruby ring on his fat finger flashed slightly. It flowed down like liquid, expanded in the air, and took the shape of a long red sword.
The fire on the sword rose. The fat merchant wiped his sweat and handed it to Char with both hands.
“If you can use this sword to kill that b*stard, that would be the best!”
[Gemstone Fireworks (magic sword)]
Ancient magic weapon.
Requires strength 20, agility 30, intelligence 20 (choose two out of three)
Attack power=1.25*AD+1.25*AP. Strength +5. Intelligence +5
[Fluid Gem: Can change its appearance. Current memory: ring, one-handed sword.]
“Sparks! As my inspiration bloomed!”
This was a magic sword of average quality. This was because the 50% increase in attack power was even a bit of a scam.
However, just as the Ash Dwarves of the Molten Plains had said, “A weapon’s foolishness is often due to its master.” This sword was also perfectly compatible with the magic and human dual profession, and it had other unknown uses.
As stingy as Felix was, he naturally would not give the sword to Char for free. He had already set up the rental contract, and the time limit was set to half an hour.
In other words, if Char could not deal with the Gryphon in half an hour, the sword would return to Felix’s hand.
In terms of value, this was equivalent to the final reward of a series of missions, which would cost the player a lot of money. Felix’s life motto was ‘Not giving away any profit to others.’ He was literally using his life to carry out this point.
Char took the sword and thought about it as if he was examining the sword.
“Can it help?” Felix asked with a smile.
Char did not reply and immediately activated [Fluid Gem]. The blade immediately melted into a pool of magma-colored liquid, wriggling in his palm.
Then, the liquid condensed into a heart...
“This is...”
Mendelssohn’s eyes widened.
Even as the person in charge of a weapon factory, he had never seen such a strange weapon!
“The heart of a witch, which is also the favorite food of Gryphons”
Felix explained. He did not understand what Char was trying to do.
Char came to the half-eaten horse and stuffed the heart into its chest, then sealed its mouth.
“Let’s hide,” he said, and then left without looking back.
The two merchants looked at each other and were stunned for a few seconds before they immediately followed.
A few of them hid behind a nearby rock and covered their bodies with shrubs.
The people around the carriage were all gone. After about ten minutes, the circling Gryphon finally landed, picked up the remaining horse, and flew away.
“My family heirloom! My horse!”
Felix was in pain and was about to settle the score with Char when Mendelssohn suddenly pulled him back.
“Your horse is dead! Calm down! Your family heirloom will also be back soon!”
Felix suddenly sobered up and snorted.
“It’s all your fault, why did you have to take the narrow path.”
“You still have the nerve to blame me? If you weren’t so greedy and insisted on hiring these few broken women, we wouldn’t be in such a sorry state!”
Tsk, he was cursing.
Char sighed in his heart.
These two people were really of the highest quality. Although the subsequent plot showed that both of them were shrewd businessmen, their shortcomings were also infinitely magnified.
One was greedy for money, while the other was supercilious.
The guards’ cotton uniforms were exquisitely made. There was a Gray Maple Leaf on the chest and the five corners were dyed red, indicating that they were mercenaries from Blosoro Market.
Fortunately, he still cursed at the guards at this time, but it did not lead to betrayal.
Blosoro’s professional mercenaries were at least six in a team, and they were extremely loyal. As long as they were paid enough, they would not leave their employer behind. There were four people left, and it was obvious that two of them had died in battle.
Even if two of their teammates died in battle, and in exchange for their employer’s disgust and curses, they would not show any anger, or even say a word.
This was professionalism.
“Where did we not do well?”
Suddenly, a voice was heard.
Char was stunned as if he had seen a ghost.
