Chapter 427
Episode 427 So (10)
“I don’t have a good weapon.”
Despite the chaos, Berserk chose to go buy weapons instead of following the Archmage to meet the castle lord. It wasn’t a particularly strange choice since the settlement was the responsibility of the soldiers and the temple, and there was no need for her to get further involved.
“is it so? It’s a big deal. “This place is the best in this city.”
It was also similar to Hawkeye. He chose to replenish his arrows at that time because he thought the only way to follow the gathering of high-ranking people would be to stand there in confusion.
“Oh, I’m here.”
“Oh Crusher!”
At that time, Crusher, who had been following the Archmage, walked hurriedly from the other side. Due to a request issue, I had no choice but to follow the wizard, but it seems that the problem was resolved somehow.
“You came early?”
“He wrote me a letter because he thought the work would take a long time. Thanks to that, I was able to destroy it and leave right away without having to wait.”
“What about the advance fee?”
“I don’t know. “I guess it’s okay because I didn’t say anything.”
“Crusher! “You can’t just ignore it like that!”
“Noisy.”
Anyway, there is no weapon I like here. The quality is not lacking, but there is no such thing as a strangely attractive grip that feels sticky when held.
“How about this from Daejeon?!”
“Not bad.”
If this is the case, should I go for custom manufacturing instead? Berserk thought so and grabbed the weapon brought by Isarncol.
A sword so light and thin that even a small child can hold it. The child said he didn’t like axes and spears, so it seems like he brought in a completely new type, but this wasn’t his favorite either.
“As expected, I don’t think a three-pointed sword is suitable for a great warrior!”
The child quickly noticed the signs and quickly retrieved the rapier. He could have caught it, but it was true that he didn’t like it, so Berserk just watched quietly. The rapier returned to its place.
“I guess you haven’t chosen a weapon yet?”
But Crusher, who was watching, folded his arms and leaned against the doorway. In response, Berserk rolled in his hand the piece of metal he always carried in his chest.
“It’s not scary at all.”
“Then make it custom-made. “You have money and time, right?”
“…okay. “That would be better.”
“Although there are no blacksmiths at the level of great masters in this city, there are two people who can be called mastersmiths—”
Berserk’s eyebrows slightly furrowed at the word great masters. Should I end up going to that unlucky guy?
“…Tanya.”
“…?”
While she was thinking about this, Hawkeye, who had been quiet earlier, spoke up. At first glance, the words that came out of his mouth seemed close to a person’s name.
“What did he say again-”
Crusher, who turned his gaze to follow Hawkeye, also soon stopped speaking. The stiff expressions of the two people are like dolls made with wax.
Berserk’s eyes followed them and rolled to the side.
“hmm.”
It’s light pink hair. If my sister had seen it, she would have liked it, saying the color was really pretty. Berserk thought about this for a moment as he extended his arm to the girl who was running wild, looking at her strange hair color. “Daejeonsa Daejeonsa!” Perhaps it was because of the never-ending chattering that the past that came to mind didn’t hurt that much.
“Will it melt if I put it in my mouth?”
“Human hair is not eyes.”
“It looks very cozy.”
“If you want something cozy, go to an adventurer and hang on to it. “He is a person who will do anything for you if you cling to him.”
“Is that so?”
It seems that he was so good to the child that the child’s perception of the adventurer was something that would give out snacks when pressed… but Berserk did not stop it. By Nordine standards, the adventurer’s upbringing was too soft and weak, but if you use the child’s laughter as a yardstick, the adventurer was a better adult than she was.
“But Adventurer, you said absolutely nothing until your pain is better.”
As the girl just said, when she really needs to be strict, she becomes really strict.
“It’s a problem you brought on yourself because of your mistake, so it’s a problem you have to deal with alone.”
“Hey.”
Anyway, why are these still frozen? Berserk tapped Crusher’s toe with the nose of his boot. Crusher’s body, which had been frozen as if trapped in invisible ice, finally took a breath.
“Do you know each other?”
“…well. “It’s a familiar face, but I don’t know if it’s someone I know.”
Crusher’s muscles must have become stiff in that moment and he tilted his head.
“Hawkeye.”
At the same time, the side of her foot hit the side of Hawkeye’s boot. Hawkeye also seemed to wake up from hypnosis and said, “Ah.” I let out an exclamation.
“sorry. “It wasn’t Tanya.”
Anyone could see that the awkwardly smiling face did not have a proper appearance. A snort came out of Berserk’s nose.
“So what are you going to do?”
“I guess I’ll have to go with custom-made. “I’ve searched all the weapon stores in the city, and it still looks like this.”
“Good idea.”
Still, everyone seems to have come to their senses to some extent. That’s enough. Berserk, like most northerners, did not dig deep, making it a virtue not to ask questions. The four people’s steps were heading to a different place.
[Over there.]
But someone caught them. She was a light pink girl who was much taller than Isarkol and did not reach the average size of a northerner. Their bodies became stiff again, knowingly or unknowingly.
[I just arrived in this city, so may I ask about a good weapon shop?]
“I’m sorry, but we don’t know much.”
And before they did, Berserk took a step forward. This is because we have no intention of delving into people’s circumstances, but we are not in a situation where we cannot even provide this level of consideration.
“Go somewhere else.”
[Oh, I’m sorry.]
Perhaps even this action may be excessively foolish, but seeing that there is no opposition from the two people, it does not seem to be so. Berserk crossed his arms as he watched the girl meekly retreat.
Something didn’t feel right.
“Hey… Daejeon Temple. “Can’t I eat that suzma?”
However, her discomfort was blown away by the girl’s words. The girl’s eyes kept glancing at the two people and clinging to their arms as if begging.
“I think Suzma will be fine. Hey, do you know anything?”
“yes? Ah yes! there is!”
“You are very devoted to your child.”
Fortunately, the girl’s plan worked. The two people’s attention returned to Suzma’s delicious home.
“If possible, buy as much as possible. “I also want to give it to the adventurer.”
“okay.”
Or has it really changed what we pay attention to? Berserk saw Hawkeye’s head turn slightly, but said nothing.
So their steps headed towards another market.

It took a while for the meeting between the castle lord and the Magic Tower temple to come to an end. Of course, I was unconditionally stable until the twisted magic stabilized.
“Are you feeling okay?”
Anyway, as we left the castle, Daniel, who had followed the temple people saying he would help with the settlement, came running in a huff. It looks like the work is finished there too.
“It’s okay, don’t worry.”
“Interrogator, that’s all a lie. “Don’t be fooled.”
“If only I could have cured myself!”
The dumplings are juicy again. I just rubbed the back of my neck as I looked at the two upset people.
“…I can’t say anything as it was an action to save people, but please rest well from now on.”
In the meantime, Daniel gave me a look of understanding just from the two people’s reactions and handed me a few packages. Although it may not have been wrapped with expensive silk and string, it was evident that each item was packaged with care.
“Can I ask what it is?”
“These were sent by people whose lives were saved thanks to you. “Because you left first, I had to take your place.”
“…It was something I didn’t expect in return.”
“I expected that too, but… I didn’t want to rashly refuse it as a third party, so I just accepted it.”
No, everyone said they gave me so much. I carefully placed the packages in my inventory. If the people involved were here, they would have returned it right away, but now they had no choice but to take it.
“But is all this food?”
At that time, Deathbringer, who was sniffing, asked. When I heard that, I could almost smell the food through the packaging. Some of them have a strange and unexpected smell.
“In the North, giving food is the greatest expression of gratitude, so I guess everyone did that.”
While I was debating whether to open the package or not, the purple snake that came out from behind added a word. Judging by the way he naturally joined in, it seemed like he heard everything we were saying.
The Archmage standing behind the purple serpent laughed hollowly and the fairy crossed her arms innocently.
“is it.”
This tradition probably came about because of greed. I put all the packages in, vaguely guessing the background of the culture. If this is really food, it would be better to go and solve it rather than trying it here.
“You should go back sooner than that. “Now that forward deployment has been postponed, you won’t have much time to rest.”
“yes?”
“Speaking of forward deployment….”
“That’s it. “But why are you loafing around here?”
“Fairy Magic Tower Lord.”
Now that I think about it, I guess the fairy who is atonement will also go to the magic tower. I looked at his stamen-like eyelashes and the platinum eyes beneath them, then avoided my gaze again. This is why he has been nagging me like a paternal grandfather since the conversation about being familiar with magical power circulation problems.
It’s not that I really dislike it, but… the dislike of being nagged is something that is common to everyone. I quickly changed the topic.
“But is it okay to move forward already?”
In the process, Daniel briefly asked a question. It was a question worth asking since he, unlike the rest of us, did not participate in the conversation.
“That’s it—”
“If the wall was intact, you wouldn’t know it, but the wall is damaged. “If it’s a wall that needs to be fixed anyway, you can put it up in front, right?”
However, the fairy intervened, overtaking the Archmage who was trying to respond kindly. The explanation didn’t come out as strange… but it couldn’t help but make Daniel a little embarrassed.
“Then the demonic energy flowing from the ground….”
“Ah! “I decided to take charge of cleaning it up!”
“I don’t have to worry if the agent takes charge of it, but… is that still okay? “If the great evil takes advantage of this opportunity and comes, won’t we lack the power to fight it?”
“That’s…”
It would certainly be difficult if the Inquisitor attacked while he was using all his strength for purification. Normally, I should have been the one to cover the Inquisitor’s vacancy, but because of this, I was in a good mood for three days.
“It’s good to come.”
However, the part that Daniel stabbed was resolved with a word of atonement from the fairy. The fairy glanced at the cube emitting strange light and laughed.
“I’ve just prepared a cool barrier for those guys.”
Behind that smile, there seemed to be a bit of madness.
“More than that, you.”
“…Did you call me?”
“Yes you.”
And when the possessor of such madness turned his head towards me, a chill went down my spine. He might not eat me, but I couldn’t help but feel scared.
“I couldn’t ask you earlier because of Seongju. How did you do that?”
“…?”
If you ask me that out of the blue… You mean you stopped time in the tower?
“I just… just followed the flow of magic that was engraved on the magic tower and castle walls.”
“what?”
“…Are you talking about my magic tower and the walls of this city?”
“okay.”
“…That’s not true. Let’s say so. “How did you connect those two?”
“I’ve been studying magic circles these days… Thanks to that, I have a rough understanding of the principles that connect two different magics. “It may be extremely shallow compared to your knowledge, but fortunately, it was successful.”
“…What about the magic circle you are studying?”
“Hmm.”
I just took out the booklet and showed it. Since they are all magic tower lords, they won’t show the same frivolousness as Meister or Timanuk. Those expectations were a bonus.
“This crazy—”
“…let alone who made this, did you just study this and figure out the principle of connection?”
“I don’t really know.”
I added hastily. It didn’t mean much. Their eyes began to shine like hawks watching me for prey.
“Fairy Purple Snake.”
“Ah, senior. Would you please let go of your hand for a moment? “I feel like I have something to do now.”
“I think I have some work to do now. “Would you please let go of my shoulders?”
“I understand how you feel, but he needs to go home when everything is over.”
“Oh, it’s okay. “Maybe he will change his mind after hearing about our magic tower welfare?”
“I agree.”
“Uh huh.”
It was a moment that reminded me of the day I was recommended to graduate school by a professor.
* * *
[Oh, I really don’t want to work.]
The woman riding the donkey sighed deeply as she walked through the dream.
[No matter how much I think about it, it seems hopeless.]
Wouldn’t it have been better to retreat once and come back after the current hero and his sword grow old and die? Is it really a wise choice to risk everything and go toe-to-toe with them?
[Walking through dreams has become difficult now…]
The hole in the north has been restored, and the influence of the god who embraces this world has increased. Now, it is difficult to use one’s strength outside of Ma Station.
[Ugh, I don’t know. Everyone will take care of it.]
But Sloth soon put aside all complaints. This is because it became a hassle to even raise the complaint and suggest an alternative.
[Ah, we have arrived.]
Instead, he entered a dream he had finally reached.
[Hello, human. Can I help you?]
“…This is a very rare guest.”
The white crow trapped behind the bars laughed softly.
