Chapter 311 Testing Blades (1)

Name:Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure Author:


When Haley saw that both sides were done with their forging, she said, "And that's it! It seems that both contestants are ready with their final product!"

As soon as she said this, the crowd suddenly stirred.

Blacksmithing wasn't the most intense thing that one could watch.

Other than the blacksmiths that had come out to watch this competition, there were also quite a few normal people.

So after a while, they couldn't help feeling bored of watching this.

But with Haley's words, she had woken them up and stirred the excitement in them.

With the way that she did this, she really was suited to be a host. She might even be better suited for this than running her business with her looks.

But I would never say that to her since I knew that running her own business was her dream. Not to mention, I could see the passion that she put into her business, so I would never say something that would be like an insult to her.

After letting the crowd build up excitement for a bit, Haley continued by saying, "Now, let's see the finished works of our contestants."

Haley turned to Rondo first and said, "First up is our challenger, the dwarf Rondo. Let us see what this master dwarf blacksmith has for us."

Rondo gave a snort at being called this, but he didn't say anything as he came forward with his finished sword in hand.

Once he moved to the center of the stage with Haley, he lifted the sword up so that everyone could take a closer look at it.

With the way that he held it up under the sun, it almost seemed as if this sword was sparkling.

When the crowd saw this, they all couldn't help giving a gasp.

There was no need to mention the blacksmiths, even the commoners that didn't have a single bit of knowledge towards forging could see how good this blade crafted by Rondo was.

But for the blacksmiths, they could see the sheen of the fine blade which told them just how sharp this was.

There was no doubt in their mind of how good of a blade this was.

But that just made them more worried about the lord's team...

Even Haley couldn't help slightly knitting her brows when she saw this blade.

After giving a cough to calm herself down, Haley said, "Now, let's bring in the home team. It's our lord and our local blacksmith Bruno's team."

When I heard this, I picked up the sword that had just finished cooling and brought it over to where Haley was.

I stood on the opposite side of Haley and then lifted the blade up just like Rondo had done so that everyone could see the blade.

When this blade appeared under the sun, it didn't release the same sheen that Rondo's blade had.

Instead, there was only a sheen that came from one side of the sword while the other side remained completely black.

It was almost as if there was only one side that could cut while the other side was completely dull.

This was a kind of blade that they had never seen before.

As soon as Rondo saw this, he couldn't help narrowing his eyes to look at this blade.

This blade was without a doubt different from what he imagined, but his sharp eyes told him that didn't mean that this blade was bad. At the very least, he could tell that the edge of this blade was sharp.

But the shape of the blade really was something that he was unfamiliar with.

Haley didn't know what to say at first, but then she decided that she would trust in Zwein like he had told her.noVe-lb.1n

With a deep breath, Haley said, "Now, shall we move onto testing the blades?"

After she said this, I turned to look at Rondo and said, "Shall we use the traditional method then?"

Rondo looked at me with one raised brow as he said, "Do you know what the traditional method for us dwarves is?"

I just said with a smile, "Isn't it to pit the blades against each other and see which one breaks?"

Rondo couldn't help revealing a surprised look, but then he gave a slow nod in response.

That was because he was right, this was the traditional way of the dwarves.

It was a direct measure of how skilled one was since the more skilled one would have a more powerful blade.

But Rondo couldn't help looking at Zwein with a strange look as he thought to himself, "How does this human know so much about dwarven culture? He should be too young to have traveled to our Dwarven Empire and he shouldn't be some kind of sage...so how does he know so much?"

The more that Rondo thought about it, the more confused he became...

Until he finally decided that he wouldn't think about it anymore.

He just simply threw all of these thoughts out of his mind because right now, the most important thing was seeing this challenge to the end. Afterwards, he would be able to ask this human whatever questions he wanted.

So Rondo just gave a simple nod in response to this.

Seeing this, I said, "How about you go first as the guest?"

Rondo couldn't help being surprised by this offer, but he once again gave a nod to accept this offer.

He didn't want to put the human in a bad position since he had been very accommodating so far.

If it wasn't for the situation, he might have even thought that he would have been able to become good friends with this human with how much he understood dwarven culture.

Rondo walked forward until he was in front of Zwein and then he presented his sword.

When I saw this, I turned my blade around to the blunted side and presented it forward.

When Rondo saw this, he couldn't help asking, "Are you sure?"

I just gave a nod in response.

Seeing this, Rondo gave a sigh before bringing his sword down on the blunted edge.
