The Marquis Is a Master of Martial Arts

Shall we turn around just one more time?

Even when he looked around the blacksmithing street again, he couldn’t find even the citron of a unicorn.

“hey.”

“yes!”

It seemed like a waste of time any longer, so I talked to a woman who was soliciting customers in front of the smithy.

“Do you know the Unicorn Blacksmith?”

“Is it a unicorn forge?”

The woman put her finger to her chin as if thinking about it.

“First of all, there are no blacksmith’s streets here. There are blacksmith’s everywhere in As Castle, so shouldn’t it be somewhere else?”

“thank you.”

He wandered around As Castle, asking people and looking for blacksmiths here and there, but no one knew about the Unicorn Blacksmith.

“Ha, it’s nighttime. It’s really soft and spacious.”

Even at night, the banging on the iron in the forge did not stop. The streets seemed rather lively.

“Oh, that’s annoying.”

You know someone who has had the experience of looking for something and not finding it. I’m so frustrated that I don’t even want to go to the bathroom. I feel exactly that way right now.

It would be great if there was a mini-map or something, but finding it this way would only increase fatigue and stress.

“Let’s just stop here for today.”

When I went to the inn to rest, I saw red flames burning in the alley.

“I haven’t been there, but I’ll just go there.”

When I entered the alley, it was a smithy. It was so small that it didn’t even have a sign.

kang!

kang!

The blacksmith didn’t even know I was coming and was banging his hammer.

I left the blacksmith and looked at the weapons on display. The quality of the weapons seemed to be quite excellent even to me, who had no eyes to see.

“hmm.”

When looking at a sword, the most important thing is that the center of gravity of both blades should be the same.

thud.

“Ah! I’m sorry. Are you a guest?”

The blacksmith must have known of my presence at the sound of putting down his sword, and got up from his seat.

“Do you know that it is a unicorn forge?”

“A unicorn forge? Then there is no forge.”

“No?”

“Yes. Unicorn is the name I plan to use later. I’m not in a position to put up a signboard yet, so I’m not using it.”

The blacksmith scratched the back of his head as if he was embarrassed.

The blacksmith said it was the name he was just trying to use.

I came here earlier than the main character took Agnes. That’s why it was stuck in a corner without a sign saying unicorn.

I finally found it!

“Can I take a look at the weapons?”

“Of course. The swords on display here are items that I am confident in.”

As he said, the quality of the weapons on display was excellent. But I didn’t want these things.

“Do you have any other items? Some old, rusty items.”

When I described Agnes, I described it as a small sword that would surely rust and no one would use even if it was given away for free. You have to find that shape.

“Looking for a rusty weapon, that’s weird.”

The blacksmith laughed, opened the back door, and came out with a chest full of weapons.

“It’s a collection of things that can’t be used to sell later, things that are difficult to serve to customers, and things that don’t sell.”

My heart started pounding. Perhaps because of the trembling emotions, the tips of the fingers seemed to tremble as well.

In the box, there were not only swords, but also daggers, axes, and other weapons for every star.

When I was describing Agnes, I said that it was a rusty sword that was obviously a little short. There is only one such thing here.

I grabbed the sword that was assumed to be Agnes.

You don’t say anything.

If I were the main character, Agnes would have talked to me. Agnes is an ego sword that speaks for itself.

“It wasn’t made by me. It was in a warehouse without knowing where it came from.

“okay.”

I was more confident in his words. The energy of the relic that Agnes exhaled minutely affected the blacksmith, so he didn’t throw it away.

“I’ll buy this.”

“Are you buying this?”

The blacksmith nodded in surprise.

“and…”

I felt the weak wind from the thin sword next to Agnes. It was clearly not an illusion.

“This…”

“I made that a while ago, but it must have been cursed, because it made a strange sound when I gripped the sword. It’s not for sale.”

That’s not it. It wasn’t something trivial like a curse.

[Activates Creator’s Eye.]

[Wind Spirit’s Three Swords]

A sword imbued with the protection of Sylph, the spirit of wind. They were attracted to the passionate blacksmith who did not succumb to their pranks and placed their protection on his sword.

Effects when activated: Attack speed increase, movement speed increase, anticipation increase.

What the hell is this kid!

“I-you made this yourself?”

“Yes. It is, but after making it, it was strange. When I was making it, I really thought that I had given everything to make it and came out with a masterpiece…”

Just in case, I saw his things through the eyes of the Creator. And my eyes stopped at the greatsword leaning against the wall like a decoration.

[Fire Spirit’s Greatsword]

A sword imbued with the protection of Salamander, a lower spirit of flame. The Salamanders in the furnace infused their power into the weapon of the blacksmith, who showed impressive concentration.

Effects when activated: Strength increase, physical strength increase, heavy energy increase

You made two spirit-infused weapons?

Two is no coincidence. This blacksmith is a person with special powers.

“Did you make this sword yourself?”

“Of course. But, contrary to what it looks like, it’s a failure.”

“clinker?”

“Yes. After making it, the sword is strangely heavy. No one buys it. Even strong people can barely lift it, so it has no value as a weapon.”

no. That’s because the lack of people touched the sword. If you’re qualified, I’ll lend you my black power.

This blacksmith is not normal. It is clear that he has excellent basic skills and also has special abilities.

[Activates Creator’s Eye.]

[Name: Giranox]

[Features: Magician Creation (魔兵創造), Fire Affinity lv3, Concentration lv2, Elaborate lv2]

[Likeability: 14 (Interest) ]

I don’t know him at all, but he has four traits? In addition, the ability to create a levelless attribute horseman, just by looking at the name, you can see that it is a great attribute.

Giranox was not fully aware of his abilities.

If so, it’s your job to have it first.

“I’ll buy three of these.”

I put two spirit swords and an old sword presumed to be Agnes.

“They’re all bad, but are you really okay?”

“It’s okay. How much is it?”

“Then give me 2 gold. I’ll just give you that old sword.”

Giranox pondered, then opened his mouth. If the identity of the weapon was revealed, it was not enough to buy things for 2 gold that could not be bought even with 200 gold.

But I had no intention of ending there.

“But business doesn’t seem to be going well.”

“That’s right. The location is in the corner, and my skills aren’t good enough, so there are a lot of cases where customers come just to look around and then leave. My teacher always said I’m not good enough, but it was true.”

Giranox hung his shoulders and spoke weakly.

“You must want many people to use your weapons, right?”

“Of course! My dream is for knights and heroes to use the weapons I made!”

This is a quick talk.

“Then, do you have any intention of getting hired?”

“Hire?”

“yes.”

I decided to make Giranox my own. I liked his ability, and I also liked how humble he was with that ability. I don’t know who the teacher is, but he raised me really well.

“I’m embarrassed to hear that all of a sudden.”

“I guess so.”

I straightened up and looked straight at him.

“Then let me introduce myself first. I am Yuren of the Rocks family, the invincible spear that protects the south.”

I deliberately kept my form and said something that seemed reasonable.

“Lo, Lox! Oh, oh, sorry!”

He immediately fell to his knees and hit his head on the floor.

“wake up.”

I grabbed his arm and tried to lift him, but he wouldn’t get up.

“No. This is comfortable. Please speak comfortably.”

“Haa, shouldn’t we talk when we wake up?”

Giranox slowly raised his head. This is the power of the nobility of this world.

I’m still used to life in Korea, so when I see someone I don’t know, I start with honorifics, but if you’re a commoner, you’ll start by saying something first, no matter how old you are.

“Then take it easy.”

“Yes! Please.”

“I want to use you as my blacksmith.”

Giranox still looks confused. It is a questionable face.

“Why are you trying to take a poor blacksmith like me?”

You have to choose your dialogue well here.

“There are two reasons why I chose you. The first is your special talent.”

“Talent. That kind of thing to me…”

“I can see it. The way your special talent blooms.”

At the word talent, he blushed as if he was ashamed.

“The second is mindset.”

“Are you in the mood?”

“Yes. I saw a lot of weapons while touring the forge today. I saw a lot of good swords. The balance, the sharp edge, and the center of gravity were all good weapons. But I saw something different about your sword.”

“If it’s anything else…”

Giranox seemed to be expecting my words, and his ears perked up.

“Your sword is great, too. But that’s not all. The knot on the hilt is really meticulous and thoughtful. It’s the best weapon I’ve ever seen.”

“ah!”

Giranox seemed more happy when praised for his attitude than when praised for his talent. He was showing a satisfied smile.

“The reason for the knot is to keep the weapon from slipping when holding it. I could see how much you care about your customers.”

“ah!”

Giranox must have admired my words, and couldn’t take his eyes off you.

“Yuren-nim is really different from the rumors.”

“What, rumors of madness?”

“Ah, that’s…”

“hahahaha, it’s okay. I know it and everyone knows it. But it’s different now. You won’t be disappointed.”

When I laughed, Giranox cautiously followed suit.

“I’ve decided. I’ll follow you.”

“Really?”

“yes.”

I also liked his determination. So I wanted to show him too.

“I’ll show you here.”

“yes?”

“Is this mine now?”

I said as I raised the rusty sword I bought from him.

“Yes. Of course.”

Originally, I was going to take this and open it elsewhere by myself, but I’ve changed my mind. to show in front of this guy.

I grabbed the sword in reverse and cut my finger, dripping blood.

Ugh!

The sword that ate the blood gradually came to life and sounded the sword.

“Awake, the relic of the world, Agnes.”

Booong!

Agnes began to absorb a huge light as if it were the sun.

[I unsealed Agnes alone. Agnes unlocks the second stage.]

what else is this

Agnes

The second stage of opening, I’ve never set anything like that.

“Eh, what the hell is this?”

Giranox must have been terrified at the sight of Agnes floating in the air and glowing, so her teeth clashed in succession.

I don’t know either. this child

When the main character wrote Agnes, if she called her name through a spell, the contract was completed and she could have a conversation to write right away, but I don’t know why it happened like this.

“Ahh…”

As Agnes’s light grew brighter, Giranox knelt down and tried to bow to Agnes.

It’s fortunate that this is an alley, but if it was a main street, there would be an uproar.

[Phase 2 opening has been completed.]

[Do you want to proceed with the soul contract with Agnes?]

“Contract!”

As soon as I shouted the contract, I felt something hit my heart. At the same time, the sword that had been shining in front of my eyes disappeared, and something transparent and small floated in the air.

Is this transparent thing Agnes?

I was embarrassed because she was different from the Agnes I first showed.

[What the hell!]

The voice of a very cute woman was ringing not in my ears but in my head.

The voice is that of a cute female voice actor as set up.

Looking at Giranox’s blank expression, it seems that only I can hear Agnes’ voice.

[What!]

“what?”

[Who are you to free me! A guy with no talent at all!]

“Eek!”

Ah, this guy’s personality is completely different from the novel. Is this because I have no sword talent?

In the novel, Agnes falls in love with the main character’s talent and becomes a devoted fan who spreads everything.
