Chapter 325 Entering The Dwarven Kingdom (2)



The captain didn't know the difference between the two sides of the blade, so he was about to test his sword with the sharp side of the katana.

I quickly said, "Wait, that's the wrong side."

The captain couldn't help revealing a confused look when he heard this.

As far as he was concerned, there wasn't anything such as a wrong side when it came to swords.

However that was because this was a medieval world where swords were the basic double edged blades. There weren't any special swords like katanas here.

So they didn't understand things like wrong sides here.

Rondo was lost in thought after hearing what I said.

When he remembered what I did in our duel, he gave a nod and said, "That is indeed the wrong side."

The captain looked even more confused hearing this, but even Rondo had said that it was the wrong side...

Eventually the captain followed what they said and turned it so that the blunt side of the katana was facing up.

Seeing this, neither of them said anything else and waited for the captain to test the katana.

The captain just calmly brought his sword down on the blunt edge of the katana.

When the captain's sword made contact with the blunt edge of the katana, he found that he couldn't push down any further.

The captain knitted his brows when he felt this and started trying to use more force.

When he had brought the sword down, he had only been using half his strength since he didn't think that it would take much for his sword to cut through this strange sword they had brought out.

But now that he couldn't do that, he started using more and more strength to try to break through.

However, even when he used his full strength, he found that he wasn't able to push down any further.

In fact, it was his sword that started to chip in front of the impressive strength of this strange sword.

The captain had no choice but to admit that this strange sword was better than his sword, or at least it was better when it came to strength.

As for sharpness, that was hard to say.

Seeing that he couldn't break it, I said, "Now turn it around and try the other edge."

The captain was surprised to hear this since he was focused on the strange sword in front of him. However, after hearing what I said, he gave a nod before turning the sword in front of him around.

Then in one swift move, brought his sword down.

This time, there was no resistance at all as he brought his sword down.

It was just that it wasn't the strange sword that had been cut.

When the blade of his sword touched the blade of this strange sword, there was no resistance at all as his sword was cut by the strange blade in front of him.nove(lb-In

He wasn't able to stop himself in time and his sword was completely snapped in half.

The captain could only stare at the hilt that was in his hand in shock before looking down at the strange sword with an astonished look.

Just what was this strange sword that it was able to cut his sword in half like this?

This sword of his wasn't a normal sword, it was a special made item that he had custom made because of his promotion to captain. It was much better than the normal sword that the other guards had.

Yet a blade of this grade was cut like butter in front of this sword.

The captain was silent for a bit before suddenly looking up at Rondo and asking, "Where did you get this blade from?"

Rondo just calmly said, "I said before that it was made by my associate here."

The captain turned to look at me with an astonished look before shaking his head and saying, "This human clearly isn't a blacksmith, how could he make such an amazing blade?"

Rondo didn't hide it and gave a nod to affirm this before saying, "Indeed, he isn't a blacksmith himself. He directed another human blacksmith to create this sword."

"Huh?" Doubt was almost dripping out of the captain's voice when he heard this.

He wasn't a blacksmith and he directed someone else to create this sword?

How could that be possible?

If he wasn't a blacksmith, how could he know the techniques needed to craft such an amazing blade?

It didn't seem logical at all.

Rondo just gave a sigh before saying, "I can prove that this happened since he beat me in a forging duel because of this."

Though he didn't want to admit it for his own pride, he knew that this was the best way to convince the captain.

As dwarves, they understood the pride that each of them had as blacksmiths.

Unless it was true, they would never admit that they had lost a forging duel.

So the captain couldn't help looking at me with amazed eyes.

In the end, the captain said, "I can't just trust your word for this."

Rondo gave a sigh before saying, "Then what do you propose?"

The captain said with a nod, "It's very simple. Since he's such an amazing person, he should be able to give us a little demonstration of this, right? As long as he can prove that he has this ability, it isn't a problem to let him in as an exception."

Rondo looked like he had already expected this, so he said with a nod, "Very good, let's do that then."

Then both of them looked at me, as if they were waiting for me to say something.

I had remained silent the entire time since I thought that it was better to leave it to Rondo, who was a dwarf, to take care of this. However, it still came to this as I had expected.

I said with a sigh, "I can't do any forging yet, but I can make the alloy that was used to make this sword. Is that enough?"
