108 Episode 106: Grandpa Heml
The next day.
I left the port town on the border continent for the fairy world.
When I left, people couldn't even get in and out, I put up a strong bond.
Because I didn't want to lose miso skills and yeast now than I did believers rather than holy gold.
The salted bean marinade I asked Clarissa for was only indicative, because it turned out to be a toxic grate.
Walk in the jungle.
Margeria hoped to proceed in hiding, but I proceeded while defeating the demon.
To reduce the likelihood of a town being attacked.
And he was also investigating whether there were any demons who could help defend him.
I talked to him first, showed him a slight difference in force if he didn't have ears to listen to, and knocked him out if he still didn't obey.
But I didn't get much help.
Every demon came under attack without question.
It doesn't even make sense.
I just had to give it back.
Only the levels of the celicas go up.
After all, was it a fantasy that people and demons could understand each other?
Will Luna also become cut off without question when she gets stronger?
Maybe I've had too many dreams by visiting the Marquis of Hell.
I just need to do what I can. We need to keep our heads tight.
I've just noticed.
The big one was the boss of the herd, who led a small family.
Bosses don't engage each other. Rather, they attack in tandem.
The bosses felt the will to take control of the land.
It was possible that Varnus, the Demon King, was using his powers like brainwashing to make him carry out his orders.
- I wish I could disarm it. You're low on me and you still can't... Lily. Are you awake?
Calling in a heart-to-heart, I heard a stuck voice.
"What is it, Mr. Kaika?"
- Can Vernus force demons to obey? I want to do something about the demons on the border continent.
'Uh. You can't do anything about that. Even I. Vernus' orders are absolute. The demons of the peripheral continent are indeed commanded to exterminate men '
That's the only way to get the Border Continent back... I would have done it if I had the time. I don't know how many months, or years it will take.
Do we have to defeat the Demon King?
I don't know what to do until then.
... and if Luna is also ordered! And Leo's people.
- Even if we can't disarm it, can't we prevent it?
'If it's before the order, you can. If you are equipped with an outfit that invalidates certain divine influences'
- Do you have one? Why don't you tell me?
'Can I come later? I don't have time right now.'
- Are you busy?
"We are now entering the former Kingdom of Brizarria"
- That's the first country the Demon King came down from the north to dominate. Quite north of the continent.
'That's right. I'm trying to figure out where Geadorf is, but they're using instantaneous metastases, and even I can't figure them out.'
- That's nasty.
'Yes, yes. Geadorf will lead the Demon King's Army to launch a total attack soon.'
- To what country?
"All the world at the same time, so be it."
- You're unscrupulous. Are you chopping feathers that far?... Didn't you wait until the demon king was resurrected?
'It would be the limit already.... I'll be in touch if anything happens'
- Oh, thank you.
End of Heart Talk.
At the end of the day, he spoke as quickly as he was in a hurry, so I guess the danger was imminent.
And it's a total attack.
We need to get the fairy world back and figure out what to do.
But that's all the troops, will they let them move?
Even though it's just out of control.
You shut up. Celica's talking to me.
"Kaika, what's wrong?
"No, they say Geadorf leads the Demon King's Army to launch a total attack on the whole world"
"What!? Is that true?
"Oh... I'm pretty sure it's because Lily, the Virgin, said it... unless it's early"
"It's a strange thing. If we don't manage to prevent it..."
Celica leaned down with a depressing look.
Then Margeria, a fairy dressed as a man, said.
"Be careful. Soon we'll be in a giant village."
"Okay, everybody stay alert.... If these demons can't even discuss it, let's head back to the fairy world."
"I understand."
Margeria squeezes her bow.
Celica and Megna also place their hands on the pattern so that they fall right out.
Only Lapisia was walking relaxed and holding her eggs.
Seeing it with a thousand eyes, the giants have also noticed, that they are beginning to arm themselves.
You're motivated.
While sighing that the negotiations were about to fail again, I moved on.
A few days later.
We were in the square in the jungle.
A large rock stands in front of me about a two-story house.
Margeria says.
"This is the entrance to the fairy world. There's Grandpa Heml."
"Ho."
I touched the rock.
Then the surface waved like water.
"Only fairies and those with shelter can pass through"
"The brave party members will be fine, too, won't they?
"I should be able to."
Margeria went in first. Then I go through with my hands in front of me. Feels like going through the water.
Inside was a small room, or entrance. Straight down the hallway to the back.
The rock wall was lit by the way.
After a while, Celica Migna Rapisia came in.
Selica says.
"It's a strange feeling...... I can't believe I'm going through a rock"
"Funny! I want it at home too!
Lapisia, who loved dirt and rocks, was most pleased.
I went out into a small room as I proceeded through a dim corridor that had crept through the rocks. A crude room with just a bed, a desk and a chair.
There was a flickering old man sleeping in the bed. Bright white hair. Similar to humans but slightly pointy ears.
--------------------
[Status]
First Name: Heml
Gender: Male
Race: Fairy
Occupation: Blacksmith
Class: Demon Sealed Blacksmith Lv99 Spiritualist Lv50
--------------------
He's definitely an amazing blacksmith.
It doesn't look like that at all.
Margeria approaches and rocks the old man.
"Grandpa Heml, wake up. A guest."
"Ah... welcome"
"Don't fall asleep. Wake up. You're a brave man."
"No! No, I'm sorry about this"
The old man got up and sat on the edge of the bed. Correct clothes.
I said.
"I'm Kaika the Brave. I've been looking for the fairy world."
"Right. But the fairy world is full of ghosts. It could be dangerous."
"Then I'll be fine. And, Grandpa Hemle, can you help me with the blacksmith?
Grandpa Heml shook his head to the side.
"I don't know if that's possible."
"Why?"
"I stopped blacksmithing. Even if it takes a lifetime, you can strike a satisfactory weapon. I'm tired."
"Really? You look like a magic blacksmith."
"Any number of the best. But you can hit the best in your life. If you want a weapon, ask someone else."
Grandpa Heml sighed like tired.
Margie Leah has a neat face.
"At this rate all the time. I don't have ears to listen to."
"... Mea, show him the better knife"
"Yeah."
Mea pulled out a magical hanging [knife under the heavens] from her waist and offered it with the pattern turned.
Grandpa Heml receives and views.
"Not a bad arm, but not yet. The density of the beating is not constant. I would have drawn 30% more power from the material."
"Hmm. So, what's this?
I pulled the knife out of my hips and gave it to him.
Grandpa Heml takes it as he pleases.
"Hmmm... a slender single-edged song knife...... hmmm!?
Grandpa Hemle's eyes, who was awake and boggling, open with excitement.
"Hey, what is this sword... Huh!? What's going on!? Alloy? No, put different materials together...... Ha! Stiff metal and soft metal together for hardness and softness...... what a disgusting sword!
Grandpa Heml, hurriedly putting his machete in his sheath, exhaled, but pulled out his sheath a little again and looked at it, closing again.
Grandpa Heml shook his head many times with a stunned look. Gray hair shakes without strength.
Then he looks up at me and says:
"I didn't know there was such a way... where did you get this sword?
"A sword made in my hometown."
"It's a great way to cast. It's a terrible hassle."
"Can we make the same thing?
"Six months...... no, if I had three months"
"Besides this, I know a few other methods you don't know about. Damask Steel or something."
"Hey, what! Is that true!?... No, I guess there is if you have that sword"
I said with serious eyes.
"If you want to hit the best weapon of your life, I'll tell you. Help me instead."
"... I told you. I told you to hit me."
"Too bad. I thought he was a little more confident and proud in his arms. I didn't know you were an unwilling second-rate or below third-rate blacksmith. I'll find someone else."
"Hey, what the hell! I'm still the best blacksmith in the world! All right, let's not take your chances!
Grandpa Heml rises up in momentum and gabble.
- Hey.
I said hidden my laughter.
"Oh, fine. Well, I'll clean up the fairy world, so wait till then. It'll be over soon."
"No, no, it'll take months. Let's practice in the meantime."
"If I'm right, it should be over in a day. Well, wait a minute. - Margeria, show me around."
"Yes, Kaika. - Then Grandpa Heml, watch your back and wait for me."
Margeria takes the lead and heads to the hallway behind the room.
We went on.
As I walked down the hallway, I heard Grandpa Heml from behind.
"Come back soon!
I smile unexpectedly.
"You're fine as a jerk."
"He's lived in a blacksmith. I guess it's expensive because once I discovered the lost dream of excellence in blacksmithing."
"I see.... and that's a dim hallway. I don't think that's the way to the fairy world."
"Naturally. This is an emergency exit from the castle. It's the only way the demons couldn't crush it."
"I see."
We rushed down the hallway to the fairy world.
