Chapter 9: The Uncle and the Honors Student (part 1)

The sun is s.h.i.+ning overhead! The sounds of birds chirping can be heard everywhere!

Take a look! Come and see!

n.o.body wants first-rate weapons!*

*it don’t rhyme like it did in the raws >

My heart hurts……

It’s been one month since I gave the double-edged sword to Nuode, and in this time I haven’t sold a single weapon. The hero count has also stayed at 576. Although I comforted myself by saying the reason that my weapons haven’t been selling is because there aren’t many people who would try to subdue the Demon King in the winter, but seeing what I wrought with sweat and tears being ignored, is discomfiting.

In my original world, Xu Wei once said: Pearls from my pen can find no buyer, then let them scatter amidst the vines.

My circ.u.mstances are, in general, quite similar to his. However, I am a little better off. In the winter I can work as a carpenter or sell some homemade snacks to earn money, so life is not too bad. In addition, I can repair houses, furniture, and do other odd jobs to support myself, Elan, and Little Hairball without a problem.

But I have started to have doubts about myself.

Although Nuode once said that the quality of my manufacturing was higher than even his father’s,  I still don’t have much of a reputation.

Ah —— how irritating, how irritating. I don’t want to do anything today ——

I see that Elan still has not fully woken up; she was leaned forward, stretching herself over the sales counter like a small child. (E/N: Well…..she is a small child)

——dong dong dong.

The people I know in the village, for example Li Sanai, would not knock on the door and but directly push come in. The possibility of it being a customer is also very low, since I haven’t been selling anything recently. Who could it be……

Opening the door, there was a row of white armor. At the very front stood a female of around nineteen years of age.

Her hair was almost the same shade of white as Elan’s, her eyelashes also silvery-white, her body concealed by a white cloak. She was quite the high quality beauty, but her green eyes emitted a dangerous aura. In short, she looked capable and experienced. Her age was much too young to carry such maturity.

Ordinary people could also sense an icily arrogant chill from her body, but as far as I was concerned, this kind of killing intent was much too undeveloped.

Compared to a person who is always expressionless, a person who is always full of smiles is scarier.

After making an initial a.s.sessment, I inquired of her:

“Excuse me, do you have any business with me?”

She stood perfectly straight, not fearing my gaze at all.

While her hand was extended from her cloak, I saw her excellent, white armor, and the saber around her waist. A sweeping glance could determine that the length is approximately eighty centimeters. It was a sword that emphasizes speed and technique.

Afterwards, her hand held a sheepskin doc.u.ment. It seemed to be some kind of proof.

“I’m the investigation official responsible for this area, Ka Luona. Not long ago, there was a Forest Species who infiltrated here. Please tell me everything you know.”

“Forest Species? What is that?”

I asked.

“Their appearance is not much different from a human’s, but their ears are long, and they are good at using a bow and arrow. This is a picture, thank you for your cooperation.”

After I asked the question “What is a Forest Species”, her wariness noticeably declined.

I tentatively glanced at the picture……is this Baluo? This drawing is really too obscure…Miss Investigation Official  if you rely on this drawing, you will never find Baluo in this lifetime. Oh no, my OCD has been offended, have to restrain myself……

“I haven’t seen this person.”

She nodded her head.

“This drawing is too obscure, isn’t it?.”

I could not endure and said it out loud.

She turned her head to stare at me:

“I drew this.”

I did not know what to say. Fortunately, they were already ready to leave.

“Big Brother, are there customers here?”

At this time, Elan, dressed properly, came behind my back, and timidily asked me.

Shoot.
