Chapter 477: Side: Alistair

This was an urgent matter.

「This presence is......a divine sword!」

What a surprise, the power of the divine sword has been unleashed on this continent. As a divine level blacksmith, I can sense the presence of a divine sword.

Especially when it's on released state, I can sense it so much better. What's more, surprisingly, there were two divine sword's presence.

I knew one of it. It's probably Ashwrath's Earth Sword, Gaia. However, I had no idea about the other one.

Does it mean, it was a divine sword that even I have never touched has appeared.

However, there is also some strange feelings about it. There was an obvious distortion in the presence of the divine sword that seemed to be fighting Gaia. There was a possibility that it had already been damaged, or for some reason it had not been able to display its true power.

「No, I will know when I see it」

Anyway, I have to go. That's my mission and my purpose in life. However, there was someone who interrupted me as I started to act.

「A-chan? Where the hell are you going?」

Blonde hair and white skin. Slender body with pointed ears. She has all the features of an elf, and she looks like a gentle woman.

「Winnarhyn...! Since when!」

But don't be fooled by her gentle appearance and her voice tone. This woman is one of the people I'm least able to compete with in this world.

「This is my house, remember? If you're sneaking around and acting suspiciously, I'll notice, right?」

「I even went to the trouble of using a tool to remove my presence though!」

「Oh my? But it didn't hide your presence quite well huh? Isn't it a failure?」

「This is why i hate a high elf! Making a fool of a divine level blacksmith’s tool is...!」

Yes, this woman is not just an elf. She was one of the High Elves, one of the strongest races of elves in this world. She was also one of the most famous of the High Elves.

The exact number of High Elves is unknown. In addition, while many High Elves are keeping their activities hidden from the public, there are a few who are actively involved with humans.

One of those few High Elves was this Winnarhyn. The other two known names are Willow Magnus, a historical researcher. The other one is Wigan Wigan, a wandering botanist.

It is just a coincidence that all three of them have "wi" at the beginning of their names. There is a time when names beginning with "wi" are popular among elves, and all three were born at that time. Well, in elves sense of time it's hundreds of years ago already.

The reason why the latter two have family names is because they were once nobles. The reason it was because the country that had anointed them as nobles had already gone.

「But, If you don't finish repairing my armor, I'm not going to be able to teach my advanced classes~」

「Well, that's true......」

I can't be too pushy on her because she has been a great help to me when I was young and still is. I knew how scary it would be if she lost her temper.

「Besides, you haven't finished repairing and maintaining that golem, have you? Without it, we're going to be very late for the mock battle class」

「C-can you do something about it! You can get by without it, right? Why don't we let them deal with Winnarhyn directly?」

「It can't be helped huh. I understand. Well, I guess you owe me this time」

「I'm grateful!」

「But, I'll give you one assignment」

「A-assignment?」

Oi oi, what kind of impossible task are you trying to impose?

「Yeah. I've asked you to introduce the Beast King or Ashwrath as our instructor for the mock battle, right?」

「N-no, But, that is......」

A mock battle against rank S adventurers? What kind of enemy do you have in mind? Are you trying to train people to fight the evil gods? But when I told her it was impossible, Winnarhyn surprisingly backed down.

「I understand. So I'll compromise」

「Compromise?」

「Yes. If they're not at the level of those two, can you go find someone who is somewhat strong? If they're adventurers, at least they must be a B ranker or higher」

「Uh, okay...I don't have a choice huh. I'll take care of it」

「You promise? I'm hardly ever away from here, so I don't have that kind of connection at all」

Well, if push comes to shove, we'll have to rely on the Beast King's. Worst-case scenario, I can sell off some magical equipment to the guild and ask them to introduce me to an adventurer instead.

「We can't hold a high-ranking adventurer for a long time, you know?」

「I know, I know, It will only takes about a week or so」

「By when should I bring them here?」

「Lets see. I need it as soon as possible.........Can I have it within 5 years?」

Thank God, the High Elves have a screwed-up sense of time. It's a hassle, but I'll figure it out somehow. More importantly, it's time for the divine sword now!
