Elysion Online ~The Dragonewt and The Summoner~

Chapter 232: Dwarven village exploration and elven magic sword story

I return my summoned beasts and enter the dwarven village. It's on my terms with Setia and I don't want any trouble. I report the accomplishment of the quest to the representative of the dwarven village.

"I didn't think you'd actually defeat the Queen Sand Ant and her subordinates...promise. No more talk of the clay figures. And I'll allow you to enter the village"

You may now enter the Dwarf village

Oh! We can now enter the dwarf village!

"We are craftsmen, but we are not misfits. We will repay those who have solved the problems of this village"

Hee, that's surprising.

"However, weapons are sold here and there in this village, but it's not free at all!"

"You're tough"

Of course. If we give weapons for free, we'll be wiped out"

That's right. After discussing it with everyone, we decided to explore separately in pairs.

I'll go around with Al-san.

"We'll be focusing on weapons"

"That's right. It seems that they also take requests and I think the fighting classes will use them more than you think"

I'm sure they will...requests are concentrated only on Hephaestus, so if they can come here, the requests might calm down.

As I was walking with Al-san, we found a store with a stone sign. We went inside and found that it sold iron ore and other materials such as gunpowder and bomb materials.

In addition, there was a store with a sign of pliers, there were magic cores and attribute stones. I made eye contact with Al-san. We both agreed...this village is terrific.

The most extreme was the katana sign. We have to go in there! But there were no katanas in the store. I wondered what that meant. I asked the store owner.

"We used to be a katana blacksmith, but my husband was killed by Sand Ants. We can't make swords anymore, so we're turning into an ore shop"

It's a shame...then Al-san found something outrageous.

"That...it seems that this book is also on sale"

"That's right. It's a book on katana smithing that my husband used. If I cant use it, Ill sell it"

"I'll buy it!"

So I got the book on katana smithing. I'm sure Hephaestus will make me a katana with it. There were so many different types, I had no idea which one was the best, so I decided to buy them all. It was cheap, so no problem.

Other than that, the dwarven village turned out to be an important place for me to buy Ix's weapon materials.

After that, we went back to Lieblich and served the venison that Hanabi-chan and the others had been waiting for. Let's not look at Lily and the others who are naturally participating in this event.

Giant Deer Steak: Rarity 5 Cooking Quality D+

Effect: 60% fullness recovery, 1 hour strength up (large)

This dish is made by grilling the meat of a giant deer. Salt is used for seasoning and the dish allows you to enjoy the taste of the meat.

While everyone is having a good time, I ask Mel and the others for permission from everyone and give them some strategy information. They thanked me for letting them know that the enemy would use martial arts.

Mel, Mangetsu-san and Rekka spoke after hearing the information.

"So defeating the Queen Sand Ant will strengthen them"

"In this case, it might be the same if we defeat the King Sand Ant first"

"If we defeat them at the same time, they'll be weakened. It's going to be pretty tough, but it's worth a try"

I'm going to reveal more information about the dwarven village.

Going to be rough

It was unanimous. Yoichi-san and Hokage talk.

"It was good if it was a weapon material, but attribute stones are not good"

"I welcome the bomb material, degozaru! I have to get to it as soon as possible!"

Then Ruin-san spoke.

"On the contrary, the area beyond that is the difficulty level that requires materials and weapons using them, right?"

...

Everyone was silent...because we had just finally gotten the iron and silver weapons.

Ruin-san will give me information about a quest. It seems that a food procurement quest is coming. My venison was big and tasty, so she said we could get a good amount of money. But that thing is hard to kill.

After the victory celebration, I call Setia, Lian and Hephaestus. We talked about today's materials, the book and the magic sword.

"First of all, Hephaestus. Take a look at this"

"Th, This a book about katana smithing!?"

"Yes. I found it in a dwarf village and bought it. Can you make a katana with it?"

"I'll have to read it to be sure, but from the title I think I can make one"

Alright! It looks like it will work.

"Two Katana please"

"All right! I'll use silver ingots"

"Hmm? You haven't made them yet?"

"Yes. I left it to the last minute because I knew that Takuto-san would find good material soon. I'm currently working on Lily-san's and Koihi-san's, so I should be able to give them to you tomorrow"

Ah, that's right, the silver weapon will be the last one. Lily and Koihi were excited to learn that they would be getting new weapons tomorrow.

And while the katana is important, there is something more important. I take out my ruby.

"Setia, Hephaestus. Use it to make me a magic sword"

"This ruby...was given to you by the dwarves, wasn't it?"

Let's not hide it.

"Yes. The attribute stones can also be bought in the dwarf villages. Setia...I know you don't like dwarves...but a magic sword made by Setia would still be a trump card...can you help me?"

"Haa...that's not fair of you, Takuto-san...if you say so much, I have no choice but to make it"

Yeah, I think it's not fair myself. Still, I need to have Setia make it. Probably because this time the last boss is Nebiros.

"I'm sorry..."

"Don't apologize...I want to do something about the rotten zombies too. The weapon I'm going to make will be Takuto-san's weapon, right?"

"Yes, a one-handed sword, please"

Everyone is surprised to hear it.

"You don't want to use a katana? Takuto"

"Yes. One-handed swords are the most convenient and both Setia and Hephaestus would have a hard time using a katana as a magic sword out of the blue, right?"

"It's true that a magic sword is tough when you haven't even made a katana yet"

"Since it's my first time too, I think a one-handed sword would be a good one to start"

So, the first magic weapon to be commemorated was decided to be a one-handed sword. And I still have a lot of things to deal with, don't I?

"Is it okay for you to use a pine staff, Takuto-san?"

"Hmm? Is there any reason for that?"

"In fact, pine staffs are fire staffs, so they don't seem to work well with elves and mermaids"

Well, Setia has tree magic and Lian hasn't learned any fire magic. Then it's not wrong for me to use it.

"Okay. So maple is a good match for you?"

"Yes! It's perfect! I'll make Lian's koto too. I can also make a new bow"

I'll have her use pine for the arrows. As expected, it would be a heavy burden to use only Setia, so I asked Yug-san.

"You want to make a staff out of this...no?"

"It's all arrows"

"I make it myself!"

"Im lumbering, so naturally...if I have time, I'll cut it down and sell it, so give priority to the arrows"

Yug-san asked me carefully, but it's an hour's hard work...I hope I have enough time. After that, I decided to accompany Setia to the site of the jewel production at her request. First, Setia polished the ruby with her lapidary skill. Then, we finally started to create a jewel.

"Huu...then I'll create it"

"Please"

"Jewel Creation! Engraving!"

When Setia held her staff over the ruby, the ruby glowed bright red and changed shape. And a beautiful crimson ball was created. I'll appraise it.

Red Jewel: Rarity 7 Material Item Quality C+

This jewel was created by processing a rough ruby stone to produce a jewel. It also has an engraving on it, and it's true value will be demonstrated when used as a weapon material.

Rarity 7! Ruby's rarity is 5, so that's an increase of two... I feel like this is amazing. Setia checks the workmanship.

"Umm...it wasnt good"

...It's not good enough? And then Setia asks me.

"Do you know why the elves clashed with the dwarves over the magic sword, Takuto-san?"

"Eh? Isn't it because they imitated their technique?"

"That's not true. We elves do not take pride in our smithing. It's not like we're angry because someone is copying us"

Eeh!? If you put it that way, I think it's strange that elves forge themselves. Then why did the elves make the magic sword? Wasn't it because a strong enemy appeared?

"Isn't spirit summoning enough for strong enemies? It is said that this jewel began as a gift from an elf who fell in love with a human blacksmith. And the magic sword was created from that gift"

"Hmm? So it was a human who made the magic sword?"

"Yes. The person who created the magic sword became famous as a blacksmith"

Well, if he made such a great weapon, he would be famous. That's good.

"However, this led to their separation and death"

That's a heavy story!

"The blacksmith got a lot of orders from the government for magic swords, but the elf couldn't tolerate that, so she broke up with him. He couldn't make magic swords anymore, so his magic swords were confiscated and he couldn't fulfill the government's orders, so he was sentenced to death"

Ah, I can kind of read the story now.

"Is the reason why the elf got angry because the jewel was made by the elf with her precious love?"

"You're right, Takuto-sama. That's right. It is never acceptable to mass produce them. More importantly, it seems that she couldn't tolerate the act of giving it to others"

That's right...but the blacksmith must have been desperate to make a living as a blacksmith.

"That elf died too?"

"Yes. When she found out that he died because of her gift, she took the magic sword he created from the country and used it. The country that killed him was destroyed by the blow of the magic sword and she also died at that time"

I see...so the rumor of the magic sword created by the elves spread and the dwarves heard about it, but they didn't know about the important treasure, so they criticized the elves' treasure and even started a war.

"Didn't you try to tell the dwarves about the jewel?"

"How could we tell? Why should we have to explain love to a stranger?"

She's right, but that's why they went to war. Then Setia returned to the subject of jewel creation.

"Inevitably, the most powerful jewel is the one you put your strongest feelings into. This time I didn't put that thought into it because it was just a test. But I still think it will be a powerful weapon, so I thought Takuto-sama should hear what I have to say"

It is true that having a strong weapon does not always make you happy. Everyone wants a strong weapon. I guess I'm responsible for creating them and trying to use them.

"Thank you for telling me this, I'll keep it in mind"

"Yes, then I'm going to create it with Hephaestus"

Setia says so and heads for Hephaestus. I thought that Hephaestus, who will help with the magic sword, wouldn't be a big deal, but telling me this story means that Setia doesn't want to use it for others.

I logged out, thinking of various ways to deal with the players.
