Chapter 2 (2/2)

“I have no ive you”

I shrugged

“I didn’t save you for money”

His eyes flickered

“You are like my father He also used to oeapon shop”

“What happened?”

Even though I kneas not a good story, I thought that it was still better to understand it

“There was a huge fire Everyone died; only I was able to escape”

Nord’s whole body tightened

I gently patted him on the back

“That damn demon race”

At hearing the harsh words, Elan was shocked and shrank back, clutching s

“Was it demons who started the fire?”

Norld nodded I alht that Elan had been discovered

“Can I see the swords you make?”

“Go ahead, although the quality may not be up to your father’s”

In truth, I was being modest Few people on the entire continent could ed weapons However, even if I had the skills, I didn’t have the best materials

“That black sword is better than what my dad makes”

He pointed to the sword in the left corner behind the counter

Hey, kid Do you even knohat’s good?

I gently took down the sword that he had pointed towards

Nord solemnly took it with both hands He ie and watched the fresh red blood well up However, Nord acted like nothing happened

“The advection is very good My father has made similar swords, but his skill cannot compete with your’s”

He looked a little unhappy This child probably considered his father’s casting level as the best in the world

When he returned the sword, there was no trace of reluctance

“I’ tomorrow”

He didn’tit to himself or me

“You’re not staying any longer?”

Although I couldn’t say I wanted hi somewhere, I couldn’t just not care Almost as if he read my mind, he answered the unspoken question clearly

“No, I want to bring down the demon lord”

“Really” I noncommittally replied

I liked how he didn’t repeatedly pronounce his determination Unlike him, some youths would be infuriated at ainstout in fury

His determination wasn’t only just talk

The next day, we rose with the sunrise and the early birds

“Are you leaving now?”

“Yes”

He paused for a ive these clothes to me?”

I nodded Suddenly, he kneeled on the ground, setting his body down

“Thank you very much”

I grunted, then turned and placed the black double-edged sword in front of him

Nord gazed at it in disbelief, then looked at ,”I do not have money”

As I walked back towards the shop, Elan smiled cutely at me

I pulled open the shop doors

“I already said so; I don’t want your money”

Shall we call him Hero no 576? No, most of the others were ordinary This child isThen, is he just Nord? What about the next one then? Would he be Hero no 576 or Hero no 577? Ah, how troublesome

I leaned against the doors, thinking of some irrelevant matters
