131 – Greatsword Quest
“Believe it or not, I also have decent talent as a mage. I showed potential in three classes. But my combat sense was too weak… My legs tremble when I see blood…”
“……”
“Hmmm- Anyway, maybe because of such a small talent, sometimes I see a being connected to a wizard… The last thing I saw from that summoned beast…”
“What did you see…?”
“… It was a really ridiculously huge wing. It was as huge as the universe, so only a small part of the wing was visible, but I could clearly see that it had feathers on it- cool- cool-!”
After saying that, the man suddenly poured out a bowlful of blood from his nose.
“Heo-eok- Heo-eok- Just thinking about that existence… It turns out like this. Whoa… What the hell… What are you…”
The man muttered that while looking at me, and finally lowered his head.
Quaang!
After knocking his forehead against the table and passing out, he called the cafe staff and used a potion to restore him.
Of course, I was in a state of hiding, and fortunately, thanks to the calm response of the staff, there was no fuss in the cafe.
“Hey again ha…”
The employee clutched his forehead as if he was in trouble.
“Does this happen sometimes?”
“Yes, he often sat down on his seat saying he was dizzy. This is the first time I’ve seen him collapse with dog foam on his face. He said it was because of some kind of trauma from a dungeon…”
“Ah…”
The man who had passed out as if he was dead for about 30 minutes opened his eyes again, and he said seeing us staring down at him.
“Hmm? Who… Are you?”
“… Huh?”
“Ah! Are you the summoner that I reserved earlier? Now, wait a moment. I am like this sometimes. I need to lose this guy’s weight, heh heh heh!”
“……”
Since the reservation had already been paid for, Yeon-hee said that she would come back next time because of something urgent, and left the cafe.
“Surprised. What is it? Was it really because of a chronic illness?”
“Tak…”
A being with huge wings.
Is what that person saw real? There was no reason to completely believe that I really had such an ability, but anyway, it was confirmed that the reason why I couldn’t handle Fire Ball properly was because I didn’t have a talent for the fire attribute.
“But when I open it, it’s cool inside, right?”
Nodding-
Of course, the questions I originally had disappeared and new questions filled the place, but there was a feeling of moving forward.
“Anyway, it’s amazing, our Sunwol~ That, the light attribute is actually undead… Anyway, it’s unavoidable, so we can just say that we can use all of them! -“
“Clack!”
“Then I have to be a great person to match that… I wonder if I can do that…”
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
“Okay, let’s go quickly and leave the greatsword while we’re thinking about that.”
She returned to her fighting spirit again and moved to the blacksmith’s place with her.
While traveling in a taxi, I pondered over the words of the wizard I met earlier.
If the giant winged being that the man saw is the one connected to me…
‘How should I communicate? Can you help me just once? Can you help me?’
It was also questionable whether the enormous presence was aware of me. I’m sure I used a lot of skills… But is that not enough?
‘Being with wings… Please allow me to use magic as I please…’
……
I vaguely prayed, but there was no answer.
Does the message come only when you face something desperate, or is there another way?
‘Let’s talk to Joo-ah again if we get a chance.’
The blacksmith shop was not too far from the cafe, so it was easy to get there after taking a taxi.
‘Is there a forge in a place like this?’
The first thing that caught my eye was the rusted landscape that seemed to come from a decades-old junkyard. Countless blades were scattered randomly, and they lined up left and right to form a path. At the end of the road, a huge container building perched precariously on the slope.
‘… Are you thinking of selling anything?’
I didn’t expect that even a forge would be located in a run-down container building like this. How did Yeon-hee get the courage to come this far last time?
Sometimes, I had a brave side that couldn’t be compared.
The container door that arrived along the narrow path of cutlery was firmly closed with a huge iron door. It’s varied.
“Damn it!”
“Cheer up, Sunwol! Last time, the man opened it from the inside, but why isn’t he?”
Koo-ung!
When I opened the heavy iron door and entered the store, even though I had 200 strength, I was greeted by a rather decent store with various weapons and armors on display.
But is it because of my mood that the inside of the store feels cooler than the outside?
Hoo-
Yeon-hee let out a long breath and said, ‘It’s the same as last time-‘ and Betsy laughed.
If I had a human body, I would have been smiling bitterly by now.
The damn store didn’t take any action, so Yeon-hee went inside and rather pulled the zipper of her long padded jacket all the way up to her chin.
Although it was obviously an equipment store that did business, it was a place that did not consider the situation of the buyer at all.
As soon as we entered, we felt a person walking upstairs from the basement.
A man came out of a small passage in the corner of the store and wiped himself with a towel.
“Whew— it’s f*cking hot. Heh heh— isn’t it?”
“Yes? Uh.. Is that so…”
It is said that people who have acquired the blacksmith trait have similar tendencies. And they’re traditionally bad at jokes.
It must have been a word thrown to make her laugh, but Yeon-hee didn’t even show the slightest smile.
The man came up with his shirt off and didn’t seem to feel the cold at all even though his sweat was rapidly cooling down. Maybe his muscles are getting thicker and he’s immune to the cold? Maybe.
When you acquire the Blacksmith trait, your body shape changes to resemble the Dwarf we commonly think of. That doesn’t make him as small as a dwarf, but his height is reduced by more than 10%, his nose is thick like a bull’s nose, and his whole body is so strong that he has muscles that look like they are stuck in a ball.
The man who just came out of the studio was over 180 tall and had a rather slim body.
That means it hasn’t been a long time since I woke up, and my original height was close to 190, and I was very thin.
‘The quality of the armor was quite good… I didn’t expect the person who made it to have so little experience.’
“Yeah, what did you come to ask for? If you came to ask for the lowest-grade armor like last time, just go, lady. They don’t produce that line of equipment any more.”
“Other than that, I came because I wanted to request a greatsword.”

“Ohh. Will the guy next to me use it?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
The man who didn’t even flinch when he saw me looked at me with a hand camera from various angles and nodded his head in satisfaction.
“It’s very different from the story I heard last time, young lady? Seeing as you opened the iron door and came in, you’re quite strong. Would you be satisfied with a normal greatsword? A special greatsword is also possible, right?”
“T, a special sword?”
“Usually, when it comes to a greatsword, the sword body decides it within 1.5M. But at least, how about making it hot with a 2m length? Hmm?”
The man asked with his eyes twinkling as if he had caught something interesting after a long time.
‘No matter how much my strength went up. My height should be a little over 180, but if the sword body is 2m, it’s too uncomfortable. I don’t know if it’s later.’
If the sword body is 2m long, the length of the handle and pommel is close to 2.4M. The strength was sufficient, but it was ineffective in combat. Even if it was a battle that took place right at dawn, I would have been able to wield it properly in such a narrow space.
They say that too much of anything is worse than too little. I shook my head vigorously, and in the end we ordered a standard-length greatsword. 1.5M Sword Blade Greatsword.
The eyebrows of the man who received the request form the number eight, revealing his disappointment.
Since men still have only a handful of experience, there are probably many incoming requests that do not deviate too much from the normal size. It’s as if a D-class hunter is only dealing with the fire monkey.
So it was understandable to want to give variations to equipment production.
So I hoped that the things I brought out would give the man a little bit of energy. I expect that when I get excited at work, it will have a positive effect on my weapons.
“This, this?!”
After taking out a few chunks of the rare mineral cardinite from the inventory, the blacksmith hurriedly stretched out his hand and began examining the mineral.
“Cardinite!! Where the hell did you get this? They say mining isn’t going well these days!”
“…We were lucky enough to find a small mine where…”
“That’s right! Hitting the jackpot! If you have any more, sell them all to me! I’ll buy them all!”
Yeonhee looked at me, and I shook my head.
“That’s kind of…”
“Huh- I’ll pay you well!”
“For now, that’s all I brought today. I’ll think about the rest.”
“Kuhmm… I heard they’re buying it expensively… That’s great! Let’s focus on this weapon for now!”
“By the way, have you ever made a weapon out of Cardinite?”
“About three times… I had experience when I was learning from Master. I haven’t done that by myself, so I guess I should say this is the first time.”
As if recalling a vague memory, he touched his chin and gazed into the air, then continued the story.
“I heard that this guy came out quite a bit in the dungeons that were created in the early days. That’s why even now, there are secretly unused ones going around, but the amount is too small. I want to put it in and make it, but it’s not easy to find.”
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s expensive or expensive to call Cardinite. This is because there are better auxiliary minerals than Cardinite when it comes to crafting top-notch equipment.
Since the upper limit of its use is clear, the price is not unlimitedly expensive, but since it is not supplied, it is a mineral that even blacksmiths have never handled.
The blacksmith was busy examining the mineral with a small magnifying glass, unaware that saliva was flowing.
“The quality is also good. Which dungeon did you get this from?”
“In the wolf’s den…”
“Huh? It’s been a long time since it was created, so nothing seems to come out. I managed to find it!”
“Heh- woo, I was lucky…”
“Wolf’s Den Wolf’s Den… mmm…”
The blacksmith recited Wolf’s Lair over and over again as if he was determined to remember it.
When the blacksmith was too focused on something else, Yeon-hee cleared his throat a few times and handed over a magic stone to him.
“Oh, excuse me. When I fall for one thing, I don’t care about anything else. Let’s see… This is a magic stone for an advanced orc warrior? You caught it yourself, right?”
“Yeah… We got it right.”
“I heard you’re now in D-class?”
“Dungeon Break in Lizard Marsh…”
Pair-!
When the blacksmith heard Yeonhee’s words, he clapped his hands loudly.
“Was it the lady and the skull next to it that caught it? I heard that the second son of the Ilseom Guild finished it?”
‘That’s how the story spread…’
