23. Another Useless Chapter?(5)

"Hmmm". Arthur stared deeply through the transparent gem. His eyes squinted and his mouth pressed upward.

Arthur forgot, or never actually even cared about the money he lost and spent.

Just to get a gem that told about the word magic.

But at the same time, it was the first time the system activated on its own and showed a description.

With everything placed together, Arthur just had 0 hesitation to buy the stone.

"Now how does this have magic..."

Arthur walked back to the underground cave and looked for books about magic in the library.

"Anyone here in the library!" Arthur yelled echoing through the entire library. He wanted to drive out the owner of this place.

It took some waiting time...

...

...

"Hello, my name is Book, what do you need?" He finally appeared. The librarian of this great library. The only goblin with a natural mental disability.

"I need books about magic."

"What is that?". Arthur expected this, so he just waited till Book remembers the place the magic books were at.

...

...

"This is awkward, i'll go." The book turned around and almost jumped off till Arthur stopped him.

"Wait! Are you not gonna try to remember it?"

"Remember what?"

"The magic section?"

Arthur was really restless, he really didn't think Book would just leave like that.

"Magic? I meant what I said. I don't know what that is."

1 blink, 2 blinks, 3 blinks. Arthur's eyes flickered like broken lights.

"So, you don't know what magic is?"

"Like I said, no, are you an idiot." Book left and Arthur was left standing still.

"Well that hurts.". Arthur took his time and thought about it. It is possible for him to look for it himself but...

Book, has a very bad memory. Last time he didn't talk at all trying to think of the place the basic sword books come from.

But this time, he told Arthur nothing and just left. And Arthur just came to the conclusion. Maybe... that maybe, just maybe, Magic didn't exist in the continent Darin.

"But nah!"

Years later... "It only took months man, too exaggerated."

It didn't matter how long it took to check every book title of 5 floors of the grand library. Arthur found nothing. There existed 0 books mentioning magic. But he did find a book about rituals.

"Yeah no that is useless."

After finding no books entailing magic. With only the minimal signs of magic were drawing circles and praying to demons.

Which Arthur will never do.

Months passed, and Arthur found nothing. But the gem was a useful item to Arthur.

It managed to keep him staring at it enough for his sword to be completed.

After hearing that his sword was completed, Arthur went ahead to the smithy.

While walking let us talk.

"Where do I sleep? Well in a room I was given. It was kind of skipped out." Now we are done with the talk.

"After I get the sword... I wonder what to do...?"

Arthur had a mission to conquer the world. And not Darin, which the goblins treat as the "world". Arthur had so many things he has to accomplish, yet he has already entered a burnout.

"I thought we got out of that last chap-"

And while residing in the enemies liar, it was going to be a challenge to defeat them all.

Well until Kraul stared at him in his eyes like the devil.

"What the fuck is with your eyes."

"Oh sorry about that, I have your first mission now."

"First mission." To be clear, Arthur actually never realized he had missions to do at all. He just thought he had to kill the 9 Kings whenever he wanted. But finally, at least he had something to do.

"Yep, nice necklace by the way."

"Used all my savings for it, not worth it." Finally Arthur realized.

"You USED 1000000 CREDITS!"

"What?".

The goblins had currency. It was not something implemented at villages, but at the kingdom a currency does exist.

It was called a credit. It could be transferred through many ways, with it mainly being an Adventurer's card, or a trust system.

And yes, the trust system makes absolutely no sense. I promise you, it means what the word means, and yes, it makes 0 sense.

"How?"

"I gave it to you...?"

"When!"

"When I gave it to you when I remembered."

"Oh my-!"

Yes, the currency that exists is a fake currency that has no actual solid form. But only exist as in the form of words. The goblins, hypnotized or not, seriously have a weird mental problem.

And at the same time, maybe Arthur was too stupid to notice that the shop owners just took his card and that was it.

"Anyway, your mission."

"Ah yes, let's go to the smithy, when I get my sword I'll start immediately."

"Well, let's go, I'll tell you about it while we walk."

The mission was simple. Unlike the past life you readers read. With Arthur not causing much more commotion and presence. The 9 Kings were never officially gathered.

Now with 1 King's location currently known. In an area that they could isolate. Arthur had a mission to take a journey to the western region and kill the King Of Beauty.

"Well what a title."

"I have to remind you, NEVER ever EVER! Look at her face! If you do! You are dead."

"Is that why it was given the Beauty title, cause no one has seen her face?"

"No, but because it was truly too beautiful." Kraul's face was really stiff and his eyes were squinches. Until he then said a disturbing sentence. "To this day I still~ love her~"

"Uhhh." Arthur's skin crawled.

The two finally arrived at the smithy, and both entered.

Krill was sitting in the same place he was the first time he saw Krill.

He was holding the sword, completely bare, and absolutely pure blue.

"This was too hard to make, take good care of it." Krill threw the sword at Arthur.

"Wait is that a sword made of entirely the material you gave me!" Kraul's eyes were focused on the sword. His face was full of shock, with the size of the sword, that material, he sold for millions, Arthur had more.

"Wait you sold the thing I gave you?!"

"How did you know?" This scene never existed. Arthur, does not have the ability to 4th wall break. Shut the fuck up.

"Now get out!" Krill was still grumpy and still had an annoyingly stiff personality.

The two got out and started walking again. While walking, Kraul was still staring at Arthur's sword with high concentration.

"Are you trying to burn my sword."

"What?"

"Doe- Stop staring at it."

"Sorry, it's just so beautiful."

The sword was coated with the same color of the blue dragon. Actually it can look much purer when faced at a specific angle. The sword was kind of bland, in a sense that it was too blue. But of course the handle had some designs in it.

It had gold engravings, and Krill's name at the bottom of the handle.

But Arthur still loved the sword. Why? Because it was a sword. A custom sword at that. With a fuck shit beautiful cross gaurd design and a gold ingravings?

"Shit this is too beautiful."

Arthur was at the top of the mountain once again staring at his sword. He was preparing to go to the western area of the continent. Though the thing is, that's well... he doesn't need to prepare.

Arthur was just very focused and fascinated with his sword.

He so wanted to slash his strongest attack. The real Eternal Slumber.

"Sad I couldn't use it to Beganal. It just takes way too much time to... well... charge."

Arthur tucked his sword at his non existent sheath-

"Wait a second...". Arthur had no sheath for his sword. Krill never gave him one. So Arthur...

Pulled his sword, while holding the blade.

"Shit. Krill, you are a ducking masterpiece."

The sword was shining, it had such sharp edges that it felt like you could feel the cut by just looking at it.

The sheath was so alike with the sword that it even had some sharpness to it too. This could have been a prank or it was just a perfect sheath.

Arthur testes his actual sword by poking a tree and it felt like he was just touching air.

"Shit! How good will dwarven weapons be if goblin ones are like this. What the fuck!"

"How could I have such a powerful weapon this easily. Other than thinking conquering the world will be easy it's just making me think it will be harder."

After rambling long enough, Arthur finally left for the west. With the map on his hand. And a compass he got from Kraul. Arthur sets off.

"I miss a woman..."

***

"Like my face bitch? Then die!"

A goblins eyes popped off his eye socket and enlarged till it blew up.

"Lady Clari, everyone has been captured. Mount Her is now empty."

A goblin with his entire body covered with black leather clothing including his head and eyes. You couldn't even see a single glimpse of the color green.

"Good job, now, what are you still doing here."

The goblin shivered and hurriedly ran away. "My apologie-". As he was in the middle of running, the goblin was stabbed in the back with a throwing dagger.

"Now, what a wonderful place to take a bath."

The noises of fire spread the air. The smell of burning corpses and burning wood. An air filled with smoke. A crisp and relaxing environment.

A goblin looking like the last instantly appeared with a paper on his hand. As soon as he landed on the ground he was killed.

"Oops, what is this.". Clari picked the paper up. And read its contents.

Clari slides her tongue on her lips and says. "What a feisty meal."
