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.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
"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.

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"
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.
