19 The fifth hero?

~

Upon reaching the guild, I slowly realize the consequences of my actions. Sigh* I won't be able to use the auction anymore isn't? That lady would surely find a problem with me.

Why the hell am I prideful for, sure she ignored me, but that shouldn't be the reason that causes me to lash out on her right?

Is there another alternative? I could sell the weapon myself, but I don't think I could sell it for a whole lot of money. She may even want to take revenge on me for some reason.

That kind of arrogant woman would usually cause troubles for ordinary people. I would need to prepare for that kind of situation too.

"Sire, I don't think you should have lashed out on the daughter of the duke."

"I know Miri, but I can't help it."

"What do you mean?"

"It's the typical scene in a novel isn't?"

".... I don't get you, Sire."

"No worries, nothing will happen to you anyway. Just focus on protecting me to save your butt."

"..."

In any case, I should put more conditions on the weapon that I'm selling so that no one could take advantage of my situation.

System, is it possible to activate the weapon to burn the owner that tried to use my weapon for something evil?

[User, that is an exciting way to look at things. It can be done. How hot you want it to be?]

Hot enough so that they would instantly let go of the sword.

At the same time, if the owner wears armor or something resistant to not get burn. Force the weapon to destroy itself by melting and becoming a useless weapon.

The residue shouldn't be useful at all, recommended to disappear like ashes when there's the wind blows.

[Noted, user can get started.]

Meanwhile, William and Quincy were still in the room with the lady. They didn't dare to move and were staring at the ground timidly.

The person in front of them has the power to put pressure on their family if they were to make the wrong step.

"Mr. William, who was that?"

"Mr. Raul ma'am"

"You called him as if he has a title. Is he a new noble? Why didn't I recognize him at all?"

"The soldier that was beside him is captain Miri from the Valkyrie squad."

"Ohoho so that's why he was lashing out at him by being rude? Anything else? Do you know his status, Mr. William?"

"I don't Ma'am."

"Don't tell me. You are just being used by him?"

"He didn't use us, ma'am."

Quincy didn't like how William was being interrogated. Thus she tried to help but...

"I didn't allow you to speak, did I?"

"…!"

"Sigh* Useless bunch get out from here."

Without any delay, both quickly got out of the place. The man at the counter tried to pass the card to William, but he was too slow. Thus, he gave the membership card to the woman in charge.

"So Raul… How dare you make me lose face."

~ Back to William

Quincy was pouting while William were frowning.

"Thanks, Quincy."

"No problem, I didn't know that Raul is protected by princess Eliza though."

"Well, you just came back from your uncle house from another kingdom, of course, you never heard."

"Huh? Heard what?"

"You do know that he is gay right?"

"I thought it was just a rumor? Miri is his second wife isn't?"

"Sigh* Quincy, it was no rumor that Mr. Raul is gay. It seems everyone here knows that."

"R-Really?"

Quincy was hugging herself. She was lucky that Raul didn't pounce on her. Even though he did touch her here and there as she was being interviewed.

"What's wrong?"

"N-No nothing!"

"You face is bright red though. In any case, Mr. Raul and general Anderson is a couple."

"WHAT!? NO WAY GET OUTTA HERE MAN!"

"... Where did you even learn that from?"

Quincy were trying her best to see whether William were playing a joke on her but fail to do so. Whenever William is being serious, he always has a frown on his face. That's when she realizes that it was serious.

"N-No way… General Anderson that I admired the most is gay."

"We are drifting from the real topic though."

"Eh? So the gay part is not the real reason?"

"Even though it could be, we need to know what's the relationship between the princess and Mr. Raul."

"But it could just be with his relationship. General Anderson told his captain to guard Mr. Raul, right?"

"The problem at hand is this item that I am holding on."

"He could just make up such a pose don't you think? You could be thinking too hard William."

"I may be just overthinking but an addition to this, his identity pass."

"What about it?"

"When he shows it at the man in the auction house, I saw that it was created personally by princess Eliza."

"You're kidding, right? I heard that it only happens to a summoned hero."

"...… He might be one."

Both nodded their head and decided to not continue with the talks as it is confidential. It may create chaos. In the royal world, there was a rule that there could only be four heroes summoned whenever there's a crisis.

If someone found out that Raul is also a summoned hero, especially when the royals from the Henson Kingdom hears about this. There might be war as they could use Mr. Raul as an excuse.

William and Quincy knew about it and wouldn't go near it. They do not have the power to bear the consequence. Their family might be wiped out within a day if the Royals from the Gwendal Kingdom wanted to keep it a secret.

"I guess we should not meet Mr. Raul for now."

"Yeah, let's wait till the current matter is settle down first."

"I hope so."

"..."

William knew all too well that with the power of that woman, things aren't going to be any easy for Mr. Raul. Who knows she might be the one that would accidentally let out this grave news and hopefully be dealt with.

Quincy gave a wry smile as she knew all too well about William wanting to take revenge on the woman, Lenalee. The daughter of the duke in the Kingdom. At the same time, she pitied as William intends to make use of Raul to do his bidding.

Let's go back to the person that is completely clueless on what is going to happen to him.

Upon going back to my studio, I called as such to make it sounds cool, but there isn't any technology inside the room.

I started to process the daggers that could be sold as much as ten thousand gold, of course, I made a few conditions so that other people couldn't make use of the weapon to take advantage of other people and me.

It is precisely created to kill demons and monsters. I laughed to myself as I create a unique condition that a demon king won't be hurt from it but let's keep it a secret alright Hahahaha.

If an innocent human is slashed by the weapon, the weapon will damage itself at the same time the victim wouldn't receive any slash mark but will still receive damage as if a flat iron hit him.

Well, the system is not that powerful enough to allow the victim not to get hurt. I think this is overpowered enough though. I could even go out and kill those monsters and be the best warrior there is!

Haha as if I would risk myself to kill those monsters that could be killed by the summoned hero.

Oh yeah, as I was thinking about using the hero, I wonder what happened when he visits the western border. Will he able to get in touch with Eliza? I hope he won't trigger Emelia flag. If he does, I might really abandon everything and go after him.

The next day, I set out with Miri to set up a stall. There were a few curious people started asking whether I could finish crafting their items. I told them not to worry, and promise them I will be able to finish it before the deadline.

Their worries weren't dealt with as they continued to follow me slowly from afar. Miri was also curious about the things that I am about to do. Seeing how I really set up a stall, the people that were impatient started to stand right in front of my stall.

They thought I was going to take another list of pre-order which I easily disappoint them by telling Miri to write and make an announcement that I will be selling a powerful dagger.

I told Miri the conditions that have been embodied inside these daggers and hope the buyers will take note not to break.

As expected, the crowd ignored the conditions. The same situation when I sold my items, but the situation changes when one of the people in the crowd ran to me and begged to sell the item that I sold to him previously.

It seems he tried to resell my item to a merchant. The result? The item melted right in front of his face. I guess the merchant was also taken aback huh. I told him not to worry and come back on the day I am taking the pre-order.

Fortunate enough, because of what happened to him, some of the people started to read the conditions properly. There was even a scholar that told their servant to bring his writing tools to copy the exact words written on the board by Miri.

On the other hand, Miri was forced to continue announcing the conditions of the dagger.

I guess I would need to find a replacement for an announcer, Miri was giving her death stare at me while switching to a gentle smile when she turned to the crowds. Hmm I guess I am stuck huh. There isn't any interested buyers.

Most of the buyers were turned down by the price. Well, who am I right? Who will trust if someone that was selling a chair started selling daggers after two days? It is two completely different occupation. Moreover, there aren't any people that look rich enough to buy it.

"Excuse me, sir. May I be allowed to try it?"

I really need to stop daydreaming, I didn't even realize a man dressed as a butler approach me.

"Sure? Why not? Please don't destroy it by breaking any of the condition stated at the board. Miri, please inform him if he isn't able to read."

Miri turned and glared at me. What? I also forgot what condition I put on the dagger alright?
