◈ 126. [Side Story] The castle is a weapon
inn. 1st floor restaurant.
Jupiter and Junior sit facing each other and I sit between them… … I am eating rice.
“… .”
“… .”
Between the two awkwardly, I broke out in a cold sweat.
‘What the hell is this?’
I just wanted to hand over the equipment and laugh.
I couldn’t even think of chewing food that I couldn’t get over because I was caught up in a family conflict!
“Here, take one more prize! Serve service!”
At that time, the owner smiled confidently and served the dishes. Yay stop bringing it! I’ll finish this place quickly!
“Are you satisfied with the meal, my lord?”
“Yes… . It’s terribly delicious… … .”
“I’m glad you drew it! ha ha ha!”
The innkeeper seems to still want to impress me with the state-run hotel, but no, that’s not the problem right now, the rice doesn’t go down his throat. I don’t know the taste.
I swallow the food uncomfortably without even knowing what I am eating.
“Do you still want to work as a wizard like this?”
Suddenly Jupiter asked.
“Even vomiting blood every day and dying every day… Should I be a wizard?”
‘Sudden attack?! I didn’t even eat enough!’
I was frightened inside, but Junior answered calmly, cutting up the sauteed goose meat and bringing it to his mouth.
“It is my dream to live as a wizard. oh this is delicious Grandma, eat this.”
‘I didn’t even blink my eyes and shed it!’
Admiring the momentary battle, I leaned back. I have to turn on the spectator mode for this to happen.
“This is not ‘living’ as a wizard, Junior. You are dying every day.”
Jupiter growled lowly.
Junior continued to chew the food without making eye contact.
“Then stop being a magician and stay quietly at home. Then will I survive?”
“I’ll live longer than rushing to death like now.”
“People die anyway, Grandma. I just have a shorter period.”
Chaeng Chaeng Chaeng-! It sounded like a rustling sound.
The two men, who exchanged sums with the sword called dialogue, were silent for a moment.
It was Jupiter who opened his mouth again.
“Are you going to die before me?”
Then Junior smiled vaguely and looked at his grandmother.
“That wouldn’t be bad either.”
“… .”
Jupiter closed his only eye tightly, then pushed the chair back with a gurgling sound.
“I’m sorry, Your Highness. I will reverse what I said.”
“Huh huh? what what?”
“I will use all the equipment you gave me. Giving it to a child who will die before me doesn’t seem to mean much.”
“Uh… .”
“Let’s go first. then.”
Jupiter, who bowed to me, took the equipment he had packed in his arms and walked out of the restaurant.
Looking at the place where Jupiter had left, I muttered shyly.
“Are you okay, Junior? Grandma and I… … .”
“no.”
“huh?”
“It’s not Grandma.”
Junior pokes a fork into the sautéed pieces placed on the plate in front of him, feeling heartbroken.
“I never thought of her as my grandmother.”
“… .”
I had heard about the past of the two, so I couldn’t interfere.
but.
“Still, Junior. Jupiter is right to some extent. If your physical condition deteriorates this much every time you use magic, you should restrain yourself a little… … .
“majesty.”
Junior sighed softly.
“The opponent for this defensive battle is the Vampire Lord. And without me, this defense battle itself wouldn’t work. Right?”
“… .”
There was nothing wrong with that, so I kept my mouth shut.
Yes. Now is not the time to be self-restrained and nabal.
Rather, it is a situation where Junior has to work to the limit no matter how much blood he vomits.
“Everyone on this front is fighting for their lives.”
Junior was calm.
“Strategic value is different, but a mage’s life doesn’t weigh more than other people’s lives. I am just risking my life to fight.”
“… .”
“The meal was delicious.”
Junior got up and smiled at me like a fox.
“Are you buying it?”
So, are you going to extort money from the kid tomorrow?
Said he would take a break, Junior climbed the stairs to his room, and I sighed in front of the remaining dishes.
‘Everyone is struggling with family problems.’
Come to think of it, it seems Kim Ash is also full of troubles in family affairs. I don’t know who else to listen to.
Eight! and jumped up from his seat.
what should i do I can’t help but hope that the two of them will figure it out on their own.
“Master! Please wrap this up. I will take it home.”
Take it and give it to a duo of knights. I’ll eat it well.
***
One week later.
Lake Kingdom Dungeon Base Camp. Kelly Bay’s Forge.
“It is finished.”
At Kelly Bay’s words, I swallowed dryly. Lucas and Evangeline Damian, who followed me, also croaked.
Kelly Bay smiled and pointed to the weapons on the table.
“It’s good to be careful. Because it is a weapon made of silver from another world, it is unstable in itself. I even made a pension with devil mistletoe powder.”
On the table was a long sword in a leather scabbard and large cavalry lance parts.
And there were arrows divided into three quivers.
“It looks white and beautiful on the outside, so it may look like a holy sword, but its true identity is no different from a demonic sword. Please use it with special care.”
Passing it through one ear, I cautiously stood in front of the table. I wanted to check the stats of the equipment.
I put my hand on the long sword in front of me. Let’s see.
[Mortal Castle Longsword (SSR) Lv.40]
– Classification: Longsword
– Attack power: 40-50
– Durability: 10/10
– Deals 100% additional damage against all unclean enemies.
– Ignores enemy defense when dealing with all unclean enemies.
– Apply 75% healing reduction on hit.
It has the prefix ‘mortal’. It means that it is a weapon with the highest grade healing reduction effect.
‘Double damage, defense ignoring, true damage healing reduction effect.’
It’s just a Vampire Slayer that was made with purpose.
Although it was just an ordinary longsword when dealing with non-kinsfolk enemies. If it’s limited to clans, it’s truly the strongest weapon.
Nodding my head in satisfaction, I looked back.
“Lucas.”
“yep.”
Taking the sword, Lucas drew it with a smooth motion.
Sreung-!
The pure white blade exposed itself to the outside world and let out a smooth sound.
It was a white sword like snow that had just fallen without a speck.
There was a faint red aura around it, probably because of the alchemy with [Devil’s Mistletoe].
Poof! Whiik!
Lucas lightly threw his sword into the air, and the sound of the wind cracking the blade resounded sharply.
“… Great.”
After a few more swings, Lucas pushed the sword into the scabbard. good! There was a sound and the sword was sucked into the scabbard.
“It’s the best sword I’ve ever held in my life.”
“Puhahaha! Sounds obvious! This is the first time I will ever hold a weapon in this body, and of course it will be the best I have ever held!”
Kelly Bay had a big smile.
I keep shrugging my shoulders for saying it’s obvious. This grandpa is also very weak in praise.
“Next, give me the spear, the lancer lady.”
“oh! yes!”
Evangeline rushed over and placed her lance on the table.
Kelly Bay grumbled and picked up the lance.
“Anyway, you make complicated demands. It would be better to just make a new one.”
Among the silver weapons, the cavalry spear was made by overlaying the blade on top of Evangeline’s [Cross family cavalry spear].
It was a trick I tried because it was real, not a game.
So that you can receive the exclusive equipment effect and the castle can also receive the weapon effect.
Fortunately, it worked.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day!
On top of Evangeline’s black cavalry spear, the white spear blade was assembled as if it were coalescing.
Because it was pre-measured and elaborately manufactured, the spear blades were attached as if they were one from the beginning.
“Wow! Damn it!”
Evangeline was frightened and swung her cavalry spear.
Its stats are almost identical to Lucas’s longsword. As long as you feel comfortable using it, there will be no problem.
“Any further adjustments?”
“No, no! It was a bit heavy, but originally, the windows in my house were a little light! It’s just that I like things that are this heavy!”
Evangeline giggled and swung her lance like a windmill.
I don’t know where those tiny arms come from.
“… that cavalry. Bring it to me separately later.”
Then Kelly Bay whispered softly to me.
“It is a device that has tremendous power. It’s hard right now, but later, when you have the ingredients, you’ll be able to unlock your true power.”
Also Kelly Bay. It’s better to find out the exclusive equipment of SSR class characters.
Well, the old man has to do the proper upgrade later anyway.
And lastly, the castle is an arrow.
“… .”
Damian narrowed his eyes and examined each arrow one by one.
For some reason, Kelly Bay looked nervous, as if she were being judged by an examiner.
“That friend… You have very nice eyes… … .”
“Can you tell me that?”
“Of course not, Sasha. It’s a different way of ‘seeing through’ a weapon.”
Mmm. I don’t even know what’s different. Damian has the [clairvoyant], so that’s what I should do.
“With this arrow… .”
Damian murmured softly before finally putting the three arrows in his bag and carrying them.
“I will write well, father-in-law.”
“Yes, yes. I think you can handle that arrow well.”
Kelly Bay, who was stroking her beard with a satisfied smile, oops! Then he pulled out something else from behind.
“I almost forgot. Now, this is a service.”
It was a crossbow with red energy. Handing the crossbow to Damian, Kelly Bay shrugged.
“I made it because I had a few twigs of ‘Devil’s Mistletoe’ left over.”
“Wow thank you… .”
Damian was at a loss and took the crossbow with both hands. I looked at the stats from the side. Let’s see.
[Explained Pain (SR) Lv.35]
– Classification: Crossbow
– Damage: 35-45
– Durability: 15/15
– Apply 15% healing reduction effect on hit. If arrows have the same effect, the effects are added together.
– Curse with a 30% chance on hit. Curses are applied randomly.
< Expand the list of applicable curses >
I opened it to put on a certain curse, and all sorts of status ailments popped out, from blindness to bleeding, confusion, fear, and so on.
It seems to have all the status abnormalities that exist in this game. Are you saying that one of these is random? that’s good
“Does it seem like too much for service?”
“It was made from leftover tree branches anyway. Wouldn’t someone write it down rather than throw it away?”
Still, they gave me such good equipment out of the blue.
When I tried to compensate him with something for free, Kelly Bay waved his hand vigorously.
“No, don’t try to pay for it! There is a price to pay for making this weapon!”
“Oh. It did.”
Selendion’s neck.
I decided to give all the ingredients that came out after defeating the Vampire King to Kelly Bay.
Well, if you pay the price before that, the meaning of the later will fade.
“I won’t say anything again, so go now. Fight well.”
Saying it coolly, Kelly Bay went inside the smithy.
“Don’t wait for the news of victory. kids.”
Me and Lucas Evangeline Damian both bowed down toward Kelly Bay. thank you!
‘With this, the weapon is equipped.’
I nodded my head looking at my party members who were armed.
All that remains is tactics.
“Now, as soon as we return to the Crossroads, let’s stop by the smithy there.”
Standing in front of the teleport gate, I glanced at Evangeline.
“To get your armor, Evangeline.”
“yes?”
“His name is a avant-garde tank. You should have some nice armor. I ordered one a while ago.”
Evangeline’s green eyes widened.
And I asked right away.
“Is that armor pretty?!”
No, ask for performance first. Performance first!
