Blacksmith

Alan's party left the store immediately after buying some potions to recovering their condition. And I stay at Uncle Bernard store until the close time.

I need to be accompanied by an adult just for books a room. I have around 10 silver coins and 80 copper coins left. So I can afford books a room for myself.

After locking the store's door, I asked uncle Bernard.

"Uncle, is there a Blacksmith in this village?"

"Yeah, recently there's one Blacksmith come and make business here. I can escort you."

"Is he still open now?"

"Yeah, he opens until night, because usually adventurer comes out from dungeon around evening and need to fix their equipment."

"I see. Can you show the way Uncle?

"Rest assured, I will get you there in no time.Hahahaha."

The village surprisingly quite big, but from distance, it looks very small. The building is very close with narrow margins. So even the village looks small, but when we get inside, we can see a lot of people and stores here. A lot of stalls can be seen near the Village's gate.

We arrived at the Blacksmith workshop. It located near the dungeon Gate. Then we enter the Blacksmith Workshop.

In the workshop, there are several metal shelves lined in the wall, where the firewood placed. Maybe as fuel for forging.

And the other shelves are for equipment like a metal helmet, body armor, metal boot, and gloves.

I can see a lot of weapons hanging in the other sidewall. From swords, axes, daggers, spears, and metal shields.

There is a forge with a thin chimney extending from the top of the forge as an icon of "Blacksmith"

"What a rare visitor. Is he your child?"

"Don't joke like that, I never have a child before."

"Is that so? Then what do you need?"

"I want you to sharpen and repair this kid's weapon."

"Heeee, he's too young for holding a weapon isn't it?"

"Even he is young, he is quite talented you know!"

Uncle Bernard, can you stop tell unnecessary things about me to other people?

Ahh, i forget to tell you.

The Blacksmith is an old-muscular man, maybe around 60 years old. He is slightly shorter than normal adults, but his muscle is standing out the most. His hair already white-colored too.

When we enter the workshop, he still doing his works. Even right now, he still holding a "raw" sword and hammer on the hand. Maybe he still in process refining the sword. He hammered the "raw" sword with the hammer on the anvil.

When I looking at his figure and his product, I can say he's talented. Even I never touch that weapon, I can tell, their quality is top-notch. The shape is perfect, the blade looks very sharp even you can feel it's sharpness just by looking.

"So lad, where is your weapon?"

The blacksmith talks to me with a slight intimidating tone. Maybe some tests for my guts.

"Here."

I pull my katana and 3 ordinary swords (already broken when battling before) from storage Pouch.

"Hmm, you have a good thing there. And this katana isn't something you can buy easily. Where do you get it?

Olivia, what kind of weapon do you give to me?

I believe she won't have an ulterior motive, to give me such a weapon.

Like she can to track me via blacksmith when I repair this weapon?

Ugh, why I suddenly remember her guardian huh?

" This is my parent's gift."

I decided to lie again. Ugh can't I become an honest person in this second life???!!

Damn.

"I see, so your parents have quite high status isn't it?"

"I don't know, my parent left me alone when I still young. I still on the journey to find them."

"You know, this weapon is for Military use only. Katana is the main weapon of the Evandel Army. So you can't afford to buy it easily. The one who has this weapon is the noble or main army Unit.

You must be careful."

Now I have another thing to hide like my eyes huh??????

Suddenly I feel a headache.

"I can do it now, so would you like to wait or take your weapon tomorrow?"

"I will wait. Uncle, could you please book a room for me? I will take the key in your room later."

"Yeah, I may become bored waiting here. You know way to the Inn right?"

"I know."

"Okay then, see you."

"See you."

I waiting for my weapon, so I can use it tonight. After I finish my task, I will leave this village
