22 Episode 21 Rescue and Mediation (2/2)

Every tree had been cut down and left as a stump.

Wondering what had happened, we climbed further up the mountain, and after about ten minutes, we came upon a gate.

The gate was marked Herrera. I was checked for my guild card as usual, and then I found myself surrounded by guards.

Hey, isn't that Smitha the kidnapped girl?　You seem to have defeated some bandits, but are they the ones who took her?

No weapon was thrust at me. I think it's because I can confirm that they are not bandits.

”Yes, we found them carrying the child. I brought them here after I defeated the bandits. He seems to be under compulsive hypnosis, where should I take him?

”Compulsive hypnosis. It can be easily cured with a potion, but I can't leave him in the hands of someone I don't know, even though he helped me. I'll take him here, if you don't mind.

Yes, of course. By the way, where can I get a weapon made?

It depends on the materials and what you want to make, but I think it's better to go to the agent's office than to the workshop directly. You can find it at the end of the street. And when the bell rings in the evening, could you come to my office?　I think I have a reward or something for you.

Thank you, sir.

I'll give Smitha to the guards and go to the agent's office. I wonder if the dwarves will kick me out again.

Thinking about this, I made my way to the agent's office and opened the door, only to be greeted by an unexpected sight.

There were no dwarves. At the counter on his right was a man of human race. There was one at each of the three counters.

There was also a door on the other side of the room that I came from that I could enter through.

I talk to the person closest to me.

Where do I go to get Metal Lizard armor made into swords, armor and shields?

”Oh, if you want Metal Lizard metal, I think you should go to Mr. Smith's workshop. ......

He's not very sharp. Her name is similar to Sumisa's. I wonder if there is a connection.

I've been out searching for your daughter since she was kidnapped, and I don't think they'll take her on when she comes back.

That's too relevant. It's not surprising that they share the same name.

”In that case, your daughter has just been rescued. She was put to sleep, but she seems to be okay.

”Oh, you're lucky. She's been looking for someone to help her find her way around the city, but she's been hard to find lately. If you're not on the road and you're gaining distance, you might have taken the road halfway and then gone into the woods, but that would make it much harder to find you. ......

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why. It is more correct to say that I discovered the scene unilaterally rather than encountering it.

Well, I'm not going to talk about that. I'm not going to say anything about that. A person who arranges weapon processing would have a hard time responding to such a comment.

”Right. By the way, where is this workshop and how much does it cost?

It would not be good for business if he gave his daughter away for free, no matter how much he had saved her. If she hadn't been kidnapped, she wouldn't have had to go looking for her, but now she's being made to work on weapons for free.

So I'm not going to go that far.

I think it depends on the sword or shield, but a one-handed sword is about 1,000,000 if you bring in the materials and don't decorate it for practical use. A two-handed sword would cost around 1.3 million. The way is number 5 on the map here.

He points to a board showing the buildings in this area.

I take back what I said. It's expensive. I've got a little over 100,000. Of course it's not enough.

”Um, ...... is there a place where I can sell some of my armor, ......?

You can buy it from a place that does processing. In the event that you have any kind of questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site. It's about three million per kilogram.

What? I have a whole one, but how many kilos is it? Could it possibly be enough to buy a sublong sword?

It's a shame to use it up so easily, even if you got it in a short time, because you need to make armor as well. I don't feel any inconvenience with my current sword, and I'm sure it's sturdy enough. Even if it doesn't have any special effects, you can get by with magic.

I understand. Thank you very much.

It looks like I won't have to do any favors. I don't know which one of us is the bandit, the one who says ”I saved your daughter, so you should process her weapon for free.

Anyway, I had to see if I could really sell it, so I went into the workshop. Then a nearby man of human race approaches and talks to me.

What can I do for you at the Sumin Workshop?

Sumin Workshop. I wonder if he is an ancestor of Mr. Sumizu or something.

”Yes. ”Yes, I'd like to ask you to process metal lizard metal and buy the leftover metal lizard metal.

”Oh, Metal Lizard Metal? Metal lizard metal is in short supply because metal lizard hasn't appeared recently. How many kilos do you have?

”Well, I have a whole one in my ...... item box, how many kilos can I get from one Metal Lizard?

The man looks at me like I'm stinking.

”A Metal Lizard in the item box?　A Metal Lizard is a thing that's almost 10 meters long, right?　I don't know much about item boxes, but do they really hold that much?

”Ah... I don't know why, but the item box has a large capacity, and for some reason it can hold a lot.

I don't know why, but my item box is very large, and for some reason I can fit in there. I'm not sure what to make of it. Can I assume that it is about 10 meters long?　If so, it would weigh about 1400 kilograms. I don't think you can buy all of them at once, because you'll be short of funds. In addition, we have just been informed that Sumitha has been found, but the master will not be working today, so we will have to wait until tomorrow. ......

When the man said that much, a dwarf with a slightly softened atmosphere of Mr. Dveragh came in with Smitha, who seemed to have woken up.
