In the meantime, let’s just beg for what we need.

“There are a few things I need, in order to increase the success rate of the request. Can you provide me with some armor that is effective against undead? A holy inscription would be helpful, but if not, a common one will do.”

The dull swords of the village would not be able to withstand a fierce battle. It would be great if they have some magic armor, but if not, something durable will do.

“I’ve heard that the undead appearing, so I have a weapon with holy inscriptions. It’s a one-handed sword that other Knights are using, will that work?”

He had already expected me to beg for equipment. Villy pulled out the sword that was hanging on his waist and gave it to me.

I checked the blade. 2 Holy inscriptions were carved into the blade.

The meanings of the letters have long since been forgotten, and few people are able to use them on weapons, but depending on the combination, they are special letters that have a special effect on the undead.

The pattern would have been to turn undead effects on the blade. If you inflict a certain amount of wounds, a Skeleton Knight can be reduced to dust.

By the way, the holy sword that I created has five holy inscriptions, which can have several effects. ⟦Turn Undead⟧ is just one of them.

“Yes. If you would allow me to use this weapon.”

“Then use it if it helps. Do you need armor as well?”

“No need. A few mana potions would be sufficient.”

If it were true, I would have wanted the armor as well, but the people around me will think that I am suspicious if I were to be treated so favorably.

It would have been difficult to do my job, so just lending me a weapon is just enough.

“Feel free to use the consumables. There’s no need to return them.”

If I can get a mana potion that restores more magic power, then the request is achievable. I’ve already completed more difficult requests. I can afford it.

“Thank you very much. Now I have everything I need. I’ll start working from tomorrow.”

“I thought commoners were greedy creatures, but I guess there are people like you who are reasonable.”

I was annoyed by this comment, but I couldn’t let it show.

Villy seems to look down on the commoners more than Zelma. If this guy had been my client, the conditions would have been even worse.

I can thank her for that.

“As soon as I confirm that your request has been fulfilled, I will give you 15 gold coins as a reward. I’ll be counting on you.”

“Yes, sir. I, Lars, will live up to your expectations, Zelma-sama.”

I bowed to Villy, who was smiling arrogantly in front of me.

When I received three bottles of mana potion, I was finally released from the aristocrats.
