Chapter 355 - On The Road With Alistair

Chapter 355 - On The Road With Alistair

Editor Makoto

Alistair’s mansion was eastwards from the dungeon. Their golem carriage advanced along the boundary mountains.

“Well, shall we talk lightly along the way?”

“That, is that fine?”

What Fran worried about was the driver’s seat. It was just the horse-powered golems right now. Even if they did remember the way, what if demon beasts attacked and stuff?

“It’s ok. There is a powerful barrier against demon beasts. And there is no thief crazy enough that they would attack my carriage. No, more like they are long gone already. Kukuku”

It appeared that all sorts of things had happened before. Well, if a divine grade blacksmith said it was okay, then it probably is okay. Plus, there’s Urushi there running alongside us. If push came to shove, Urushi will kick the sh*t out of them.

“So, first of all, would you like to talk about your master?”

“......Hmm”

Fran nodded and then glanced at Asura. She was wondering if she would hear them. Then, Alistair took out a mysterious tool from the item bag.

It looked like a cord about 1 meter long, I think?

“It’s a telepathic communication device. Well, it’s an unfinished product that requires you to touch the string and that if you make it longer than 1 meter, you will instantly lose the telepathic communication. It’s a good tool for a few people to have a private conversation, right?”

Fran and Alistair, sitting side by side on the seat by the carriage wall, each grabbed the end of the cord. I was in Fran’s arms, and she wrapped the cord around the handle. So the cord was just barely long enough. I see, the ones using this needed to be extraordinarily close to each other for it to work.

(How is it? Can you hear me?)

(Hmm)

“I can hear you”

There was no pain from telepathy anymore thanks to the careful consideration of the item’s effect. Since this was the case, I could have a normal conversation. I mean, it worked as well for me, a sword.

(So let me ask you again. I would like to ask about the master himself, his creator and the period of production)

We decided to be honest about answering the things we were asked. We were going to need her help to fix me, and we’re dealing with a divine blacksmith anyways. If we lie badly, we will just end up getting found out. On top of that, they might find out about my roots so we decided it was best not to lie to her.

That being said, I really didn’t know anything about my creator. There wasn’t much that could be said of it. When I replied so honestly, Alistair uttered a word of surprise.

(I see...... so the master was a human previously right?)

“You- you know?”

To my surprise, she had already found out before I could explain myself. Why? Could it be that an appraisal used by a divine grade blacksmith could even show that the item was originally human?

I’ve got this tool for telepathic communication, so I’m sure I can handle it for now. I then explained the process of eradicating the army of evil people and meeting Alistair. I don’t remember where I got all of the skills, etc., as expected, but as far as I’ve been asked, I could answer all of them, and I don’t think I’ve made any mistakes.

After that, time continued to pass as we discussed the sensation of absorbing a magic stone, the desires to become human, and the differences between humans and swords when using the skill.

She was particularly interested in the ability to absorb magic stones. She asked me in detail what demonic beasts had high magic stone values and what had low values.

Are these really the questions I need to answer for her to fix me? Aren’t you merely putting your curiosity first?

But basically, the magic stone value of stronger demonic beasts are higher, and the magic stone value of evil people is low, etc. I told her.

And then there was that other thing, with regards to leveling up skills. The system of spending points is a system that Alistair has never heard of.

(The more I hear about it, the more intrigued I am.)

“I am honored to have a divine blacksmith say that to me.”

(When it comes to combat power, we have more weapons than master. Like the divine sword. But there aren’t many swords that are this mysterious. You surprise me, a divine blacksmith. You should be proud.)

2 hours later.

Around the time I finished answering most of Alistair’s questions, the carriage stopped.

“Oh, we’re already there. Well, time flew by so fast! It was a good ride! Hey, Fran, wake up...”

“......Nyu”

“Come on, you stupid demon, wake up!”

Alistair kicked Asura in the head next to a sleeping Fran rubbing her eyes. Oi, Oi, Is that fine? Even if the damage didn’t look like much, he should be worn out from the mad demonization and other things, right?

However, Alistair’s kicks didn’t stop. Only after he had been kicked five times like that...

“Ah? Where is this...?”

“You finally woke up huh? You stupid demon.”

“Geh... Alistair!”

Asura looks up at Alistair and lets out a pathetic scream.

“Wha- what are you doing!”

“That’s because I could feel the magic of the divine sword. There were two to be precise. So I went to see the situation. If it’s a battle between two divine swords, it’s a big deal.”

A divine grade blacksmith even has the ability to sense the magic power of a divine sword? And the way you just spoke, were you thinking of stopping a battle between divine swords?

“If it’s broken after a fight, I’ll have a chance to fix it!”

Apparently, she was a person who was faithful to her desires.
