Chapter 42 (1/2)

It’s now been 10 days since the Goblin subjugation

Thistime to Gallus’ shop As usual, merchants had intense looks in their eyes while they loitered around his store

「Afternoon」

「Well, if it isn’t little miss and Teacher! It’s been a while! What can I help you with today?」

『First things first, how’s the ar?』

「Gahaha! It’s going fine! When you see it, you’ll definitely be surprised!」

「Looking forward」

「So, did you only come to ask for an update?」

『No Actually, anted a bit of advice ――』

I explain to the old ic Stones Since Gallus hadn’t leaked the fact that I was an Intelligent Weapon, he seemed like a trustworthy fellow

「I see, so you had that type of ability… And, essentially, you’re wondering whether it’s alright for others to know or not?」

『Uh-huh So, what do you think?』

「Hmm… I think you’d better not」

「As expected: unusual」

「Got that right I’ve heard of large scale Magical Tools having similar traits, but for a sword to have such ability… It’s the first I’ve heard of it」

Sothat even a famous Blacksmith hasn’t heard of? In that case, it’s definitely not on the level of a nore…

「As expected Teacher: a」

「A bit too aent Weapons aren’t unheard of, but one that can grow by absorbing Magic Stones — and even gets skills through the labeled as a Divine Sword」

Divine Swords: equipends The ones that exist are undoubtedly super weapons Coht

「A single Divine Sword can easily influence the military balance between Nations, you know」

『It’s at that level?』

「Aye Even though e only covers 5 of theends associated with ‘em

Being the origin of the ‘Divine Sword’ title, the first divine sword: Alpha

Achieving fame in a hich ruined entire Countries, the divine sword that brings abnormal mentality to its wielder: Berserk

Having served a single horse, the Battle-Horse sword: Chariot

Considered to have sealed the De’s sword: Diablos

And then, the sword of flanis

In addition to those, there’re several other Divine Swords Alhter, and end with sites of great destruction in the end」

「Divine Swords: a」

「Well, there’s always soerations mixed in with their tales, but without a doubt they’re on completely different levels Of course, every Nation keeps their blades’ locations a secret, and the whereabouts of the Divine-Class Master Blacksed the Divine Swords is completely unknown Whether they’re still alive, or if a new Divine Class Blacks related to them is unknown」

「Why?」

「That’s the question, isn’t it Maybe they didn’t want to be used by govern sheltered by the Gods There’re lots of rumors, but the truth is unknown It’s for that reason that each Nation keeps an iron grip on the Divine Swords that they know of」

『So, they’re existences of that nitude, huh…?』

「Right If by any chance the information that you’re a Divine Sword spread… No doubt people would coth And it wouldn’t be some small number, either It wouldn’t even matter if you wereactually a true one or not; in such peoples’ eyes, it’d be fine to steal first and verify later After that, they’d test you out to measure your ability」

Whether it’s entire Nations or simply individuals, Divine Swords are certain to be aimed at by many

「Even if their opponent wields a Divine Sword: surprise attacks, poisoning… There’re alays to give thee Since your wielder is the little ht turn to ‘sweeter’ forms of persuasion, but…」

『In the end, it’s better to keep my abilities hidden』

「You ought to do that I’m happy that you came to open up to et discovered froht?」

The risk gained froe For now, let’s keep it a secret

After departing from old man Gallus’, ent to the Guild to turn in our co well day after day ―― would be so I say tentatively, but it’s a fact that we’ve been steadily piling up co else to do, after all

「Today: also disappointed」

『There was nothing besides insects, after all』

「No consistency when chewed」

『On this side, I’ve only gained 7 points in Magic Stone Value in these 10 days…』

Co’ are nice, but our desired Experience Points and Magic Stone Value aren’t being gathered at all

『Fran is Level 25 now, right?』

「Nn」

『Then… Fro up as fast as you used to』

「Next: dungeons?」

『Haunts, probably』

According to the ruh nueons It’s for that reason that they’re known as “Boundaries of Demons[E1]“, after all

Maokaory I think above 90 of the creatures there were Demonic Beasts, after all

That being said, I’d prefer not going back there Not only is there the fact that we’d have to get close to the Forest of Starvation, but it also appears that the Threat Level in the plains skyrocketed since I left

Around the tiation of Maokae scale Deation confirmed the presence of several Rank B Demonic Beasts

During the tis were present However, when talking about De they can be produced spontaneously when ulates Most likely, the Demonic Beast that showed up were born like that

If that’s the case, then after I departed, Rank B Demonic Beast were born…

— Really close!

If they had been born any earlier, I ht not be here now Or rather, that fact is almost certain

There’s even the possibility of an A Rank existing there, so the reconnaissance tea the survey Because the danger is high in the Plains itself, they’re supposedly observing fro in that forest for a prolonged period: thanks, but no thanks

Anyways, an A Rank, huh… For such a being to have coives ree with it Or rather, I should probably count my lucky stars that the Demonic Beasts eaker while I was there

「Then: dungeon delving after all?」

『That’s also possible』

However, our taking down the Deely due to luck If the Dee, then ould have had to flee without being able to do anything

『Let’s not challenge Deht be able to handle weaker ones, though』

Heons and Haunts We can’t leave the town before receiving the armor from Gallus anyways
