TDADP chapter 270: The big three craftsmen
"Uwa～, it's spreading day by day"
Nina mutters while looking around the west gate of Comer City.
"......Is all Comer renovated?"
"That's right. It's clear that there will be insufficient housing for the increasing number of people"
From Yuu's mansion toward Comer, you can see the west gate and on the outer wall that covers the west gate and Comer, you can see men moving around busy. These people are dismantling the outer walls and organizing the dwellings and plots. Of course, if the outer wall is dismantled at once, it will not be possible to respond to the attacks of monsters and demon beasts, so the outer wall is being demolished to the extent that it can be handled. That said, there was no doubt that the enormous amount of work would cost enormous construction costs and people from neighboring villages and towns were flocking to Comer City in search of work. Marquis Muss would have a headache as the population of Comer is increasing due to the renovation, which is being renovated to accommodate the growing population.
"Please go through"
Previously, there was no inspection by guards in front of the gate, but now guards inspect the status of people who visit at all times and the items loaded in wagons. However, the guards know Yuu well enough, so they let him pass by.
"Uwa!"
Nina looks up and raises the same surprise as before.
"This is also something amazing, isn't it?"
In front of the adventurer's guild, which is undergoing rapid renovation, Nina and Lena open their mouths and expose their stupid faces.
"I think it's profitable. You see, I'll enter without you who have stupid facs"
"Terrible～! I haven't done a stupid face!"
"......Nina did it"
"Lena, you also did it"
When Yuu and his friends entered the Adventurer's Guild, it was crowded with adventurers. This was because Namari and Yakum went wild on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild and half destroyed it, so adventurers of rank C or higher, who are usually on the second floor, also temporarily responded to the reception on the first floor.
"Oh! Isn't it Yuu?"
"It's been a long time"
It was the giant Eckart who called out next to Lalit. And the adventurers around him react to Lalit's voice.
"Uoo, isn't it really Yuu? That means......yes! Nina-chan is also there"
"Lena-chan"
"Ah......there's elder sister Marifa, too"
"Ah, older brother Yuu!"
Creepy adventurers gather at Yuu. Most of them were looking for Nina, Lena and Marifa, but some of them waiting for Yuu like Moran from the clan 『Gold Moon Flower』 and Tropi from 『Red Meteor』.
"Isn't it A rank? Do you want something to celebrate?"
"I'm proud of you because there are A-rank adventurers out there"
"Never mind"
Yuu responds bluntly, pushing back Tropi's head as she tries to push her face against his lower abdomen.
"Don't say that. Even with this, you're C rank and you're earning more than before, right?"
"Gushishii, I bought a new equipment and the high-class potion was too difficult, so I was paying for it"
When Yuu glances at Lalit's whole body, it's true that, as Eckart says, on Lalit's waist is a Damascus dagger, but now he's wearing another Mithril dagger. In addition, armor and ornaments have also changed to high-quality items.
"Eckart, don't say anything extra"
Yuu was confused by the praises of Lalit and Eckart, who talked happily without any calculational thoughts, to Lalit and others who were inwardly pleased with others.
"By the way, I have a little talk, but can you take some time after Yuu is done with his work?"
"Today I just came to sell what I got in the labyrinth, so I can take some time after that"
"That's okay. Hey, Eckert?"
"I wait even if it takes a while"
While exchanging light greetings, Yuu and his friends line up in a line waiting for the receptionist, but the adventurers avoid giving up. Those who had listened to Yuu and Lalit's conversation didn't pay homage to Yuu, an A-rank adventurer, but to see what materials and treasures Yuu had brought back from the labyrinths.
"Good morning!"
It is the receptionist, Colette, who greets them vigorously.
"Good morning, Colette-san"
Yuu, who had heard that she wasn't feeling well lately as if her soul had escaped, was relieved that she was in a energetic state.
"......Good morning. Today I came to sell the materials and magic tools I got"
"Thank you for the sale"
"Don't say it's as if you got it by yourself"
In Marifa's errant, Lena, floating as if imitating the great sage, thrusts her finger into her ear and silently protests.
"Ahahaa. It's been a long time since I saw the exchange between Lena and Marifa. Oh, would you like a separate room for the purchase assessment?"
When Yuu looked back, he saw the adventurers who were blatantly discouraged.
"No, it seems that there are people who are interested, so please assess it here"
Many of the materials and items obtained from the treasure chests obtained in 『Devil's Prison』 have already been handed over to the craftsmen of the Nameless Kingdom. The adventurers in the back are cash and when they find out that they can see the assessment of the items that Yuu and his friends have obtained, they are happy with whistles and cheers. Nina smiles at the noisy people and when Marifa turns her icy gaze, the noisy people shut up.
"Well, ok! Yuu-chan, I'll help you with the assessment"
"Good morning, Fifi-san"
Perhaps she was taking a break, Fifi, who hadn't been seen before, sewed between her receptionists, who were busy responding to the adventurers and appeared from behind Colette.
"Wa, Wait. Fifi-san, I'll do it, so it's okay"
"Mou, Collette has a strong monopoly, so I'm not trying to steal Yuu-chan. I'm sure it's Yuu-chan, so I think it's materials from monsters that you rarely see, right? Some of them may have strong magic powers or, in some cases, curses on those who touch them, so I'm saying that Fifi-san will help you"
"Uh......th, that might be the case"
Perhaps it was her star, Collette, whose face turned bright red, slipped sideways, leaving her place to Fifi.
"Th, This is......"
As soon as Fifi, who was amiable to Yuu, sees the items lined up on her counter, she shows a real face. She wasn't surprised by the less damaged Greater Demon and Arch Demon skins. Of course, these are valuable materials that are useful as materials for rearguard robes and light equipment. It's something that adventurers would normally bring to their noses――
"Pain Devil......a demon that is as good as the Arch-Demon and the condition of the skin is also good. That is also a famous thing. This is the first time I see it, Nebiros......I wonder if it was a powerful monster that uses high-level undead magic"
"The demon was an floor master and was very strong~"
"......My magic could afford it. But I gave the finishing blow to Marifa"
Lena puffed up her chest with a cute snort. But Fifi is far from it. It's all high-quality materials that you can hardly see even with monster materials alone. In addition, the item also opens its eyes and stares. Colette, who usually knows Fifi's flirty appearance, couldn't hide her surprise from her serious appearance.
"Andagabar's bridle, gold cauldron, infinite hive, magnifying glass of Tamo――huu......you got these items from the treasure chest of the labyrinth"
After looking through it, Fifi was so focused that she was tired and massaged her eyebrows with her fingers.
"Have you heard that just now?"
"Yes, after all, they were diving into the 『Devil's Prison』"
"Moreover, they defeated a floor boss"
"I'm surprised at the demon-based materials, but those magic tools are also amazing. I know some, but it must have been a price that would make one's eyeballs pop out"
Adventurers who had expected to some extent get excited with their friends that they didnt get disappointed. Not long ago, a large number of adventurers from the royal capital had boarded the Adventurer's Guild of Comer to get Yuu out, so they expected that Yuu and others were exploring the labyrinth near the royal capital.
"Yuu-chan, I'm telling you something great, but I can't give you an assessment right away"
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry"
"A-h, Yuu-chan is kind to me. So, the other day, you gave me sweets as a souvenir of the royal capital, right?"
"I am indebted to the Adventurer's Guild"
Colette says thank you and "Oh, that was really delicious!", but it's cleverly blocked by Fifi. The other receptionists also say thank you to Yuu and tell the adventurers in front of them that they shall learn a little from it.
"Of course, that was delicious, but I wonder if I like Yuu-chan's homemade sweets～"
The adventurers around her have the illusion that the temperature around Marifa has dropped sharply to Fifi, who appeals while making an optical illusion.
"If so, what about eclairs? It also has plenty of custard in it"
"I know Yuu-chan. That's right! I'm not looking for stingy sweets that are fashionable and just looking! Yuu-chan's violent sweets! Even this is a sweet that is so generously filled with sugar!"
Many receptionists and female adventurers agree with Fifi, who raises her arm toward the heavens and emphasizes, but Yuu is in question.
(Violent? Was it such an inferior article?)
He was a little depressed.
"As expected, it's Marifa. And she's still beautiful"
A man spoke to Marifa from a line in front of the reception. A man who is so elegant that he might be mistaken for a famous knight if you don't know his well-dressed appearance. The man was Siam de Blood, who belongs to the clan 『Red Meteor』. Behind him was the dog, Samoha and two servants who served Siam, who followed him like shadows.
"Lena, do you know them?"
Looking at Siam with a cold gaze reminiscent of a frigid place, Marifa asks if Lena knows them.
"......I don't know. More than that, Collette, when can I be A-rank?"
"A-rank !? Th, That Lena is C-rank, so B rank comes first? And as a receptionist, I can't answer about the promotion of adventurers"
To Colette's theory, Lena swells her cheeks.
"Mari-chan, he has been with you in the C-rank promotion exam before"
Nina whispers to Marifa's ear.
"I don't remember"
They were ruthless words. Adventurers who yearn for Marifa as elder sisters accuse by saying "Serves you right!" or "Dont steal a march", but Siam ignores it. He apparently remembered his sexual excitement for being coldly treated by Marifa.
"Sorry, can you let us through?"
Two dwarves appear in front of Yuu and others, squeezing through the adventurers.
"What is it?"
"Stop it, that dwarf is Bernd"
"Bernd......that blacksmith Bernd!?"
"Isn't it the blacksmith who is said to be the best in the world?"
"What is he doing here and who is the dwarf behind Bernd?"
Comer, where many adventurers gather, is in great demand for armor. In other words, there are many blacksmiths depending on the number of adventurers. Among the many blacksmiths, the largest is Bernd's shop and he is also the head of the blacksmith guild in Comer. If Bernd is in a bad mood, it will be very difficult to obtain and maintain armor at Comer. As an adventurer, Bernd is one of those who you don't want to turn into an enemy.
"Yuu-dono, how long has it been since we met like this?"
Bernd strokes his beard and speaks nostalgic. Bernd had previously negotiated to make Yuu his exclusive adventurer through the Ropus store in an attempt to obtain a stable supply of the precious material of the sacred tree branches. At that time, the negotiations between Yuu and Ropus broke down, but Bernd didn't give up and continued to negotiate with Yuu tenaciously and as a result, he is now trading sacred trees through Mago's shop.
"Well, I don't remember"
"I can't do it as usual, but thanks to the materials that Yuu-dono wholesales, there are also stores――"
"Nou, I want to say hello soon, emm?"
"Th, This is rude!"
The dwarf old man behind Bernd interjects apologize. Bernd was old enough, but he was even older. His head was bald, but the beard, which is characteristic of male dwarves, was long and rich, as if to show off his fearlessness. Contrary to the myriad of deep wrinkles on his face and arms, his arms are as thick as logs.
"Look, that Bernd pays attention to another´s needs"
"He is that much of a person"
"There's also a line between Bernd's father and grandfather"
"That's okay. Parents and children should say hello to Yuu"
The adventurers around them crack jokes as they please, but the old dwarven doesn't seem to care and appears in front of Bernd. Then the old man grabs his proud beard with both hands and pulls it towards Yuu.
"What is it?"
"It's dwarven etiquette. It's superlative"
An adventurer who knew etiquette muttered the act of the dwarf old man. Meanwhile, the dwarf old man repeatedly pulls his beard toward Yuu.
"My name is Gonbugur Kecht. I'm honored to meet the Nameless Kingdom King. As you can see, it's a rude thing to do with blacksmithing, but it's rude. I want you to meditate"
The noisy adventurer's guild has calmed down.
"Ha......Hahaa. Yuu, this old man is calling you king. Did you create your own country before anyone know it?"
As if to hide his upset, Lalit puts his hand on Yuu's shoulder and plays with it.
"That's right"
"Oh, I see, you created a country――eeeeeeh!?"
"Don't yell in my ears"
Not only Lalit, but the roar of the surrounding adventurers echoes in the adventurer's guild.
"Yuu is a king!? Old Gonbugur, are your words true now?"
Bernd was surprised as well. This is because Gonbugur only asked him to introduce him to Yuu.
"Nn. Why didn't you know? This Nameless king not only created a country at this young age, but also has an equal alliance with the Udon Kingdom"
"I, I didn't know......"
The receptionist and staff of the Adventurer's Guild were also speechless. However, the only calm one was Fifi who heard it from her father, Karl Heinz.
"Oh......I was surprised. Has any adventurer ever created a country?"
"Try to imitate that. In no time, you will be attacked by another country and destroyed!"
"Isn't it the fact that a country was created?"
"You guys were fighting for something silly. Rather than that, Bernd called that old man Gonbugur. No way Gonbugur is that Gonbugur!?"
"Who is that Gonbugur――wait. He is a dwarven blacksmith, Gonbugur...... Master craftsman Gonbugur Kecht!!"
"Well, isn't he one of the three great craftsmen......"
When the adventurers who realized the identity of the old dwarf began to make noise, it caused further confusion in the adventurer's guild, partly because of Yuu. The three great master craftsmen mentioned by these adventurers are master craftsmen certified by the Ream Allied Nations. The number varies with the times, but the ones currently recognized as master craftsmen by the Ream Allied Nations are the dwarf Ivo, the giant Baltort and finally the dwarf Gonbugur. Gonbugur was at the top of all blacksmith guilds, and even the Dwarf King saw him as a respectable figure.
"Nn, I'm in trouble. I didn't mean to make a fuss"
The eyes of the adventurers looking at Gonbugur were enthusiastic. It's not strange to want to get a gem by the three master craftsmen. Hopefully, they want to connect with Gonbugur. Furthermore, they wanted him to forge even one sword.
"Young lady over there, I want to rent a room. It's also without the presence of guild staff. I want to talk to Nameless King in a quiet place"
"That is......but......that, I too......"
Does Colette, who was spoken to by Gonbugur, care about Yuu? She couldn't say she wanted to be present as a witness.
"What are you going to do? Collette, would you like to guide Elder Gonbugur to your room soon?"
"Guildmaster"
After hearing the noise, Morpheus descends from the guild master's office on the third floor, sees Yuu and Gonbugur and instantly grasps the situation.
"Nn, Morpheus boy. It's been a while, nnn!? What does that head mean?"
"Head? What's wrong with my head?"
Morpheus combs his hair with his hand. Edda next to him instinctively laughs at the gesture that doesn't suit too much.
"Please use this room"
"I'm sorry to say that I can't do it"
"N, No"
Colette, who guided Gonbugur to the room, stares at Yuu as if he said something, but she leaves the room.
"King Nameless, I apologize again. I didn't mean to make such a fuss. Even though I was selected as a master craftsman, it's hard to do it wherever I go"
"That's unavoidable, because knights, adventurers, mercenaries, merchants, and many others are asking the royal aristocrats for weapons and armor struck by Old Gonbugur"
Yuu silently moved to the room with Gonbugur, but he had a rough idea of what he was doing.
"Hmm, I just want to ask the Nameless king"
"Impossible"
Yuu dismisses him without even listening to Gonbugur's request. The opponent is the highest peak blacksmith on the Ream continent and it is far from being a face to the royal aristocrats of other countries. When he visits, he receives the best hospitality as a guest and is also a dwarven dignitary. Lena doesn't really understand the significance of the matter and Marifa worships Yuu as a god, no matter who it is. Only Nina was in a hurry, saying, "Hie~".
"Likelihood――excuse me. King Nameless, how can you refuse without listening to old Gonbugur's request"
"Yuu is fine. I wonder if you want me to sell the material of the wood dragon anyway"
Gonbugur and Bernd stroke their beards to disguise what they were asking for.
"Then the story is quick――but I don't want you to sell it, I want you to give it away"
Marifa's body, to be exact, her maid outfit, undulates as if a myriad of creatures crawl under her outfit.
"I'm so angry. I'm a man who is only interested in blacksmithing. I just use the money I got for tools and materials and I have some savings. In the first place, at the auction, one corner It is not possible to buy something that costs 800 billion madoka"
After being killed by Marifa´s gaze, a line of sweat spills from Bernd's forehead, but Gonbugur's appearance hasn't changed.
"As you can see, I'm old enough. It's good to shake a hammer for 10 years, no, even if I do my best, 20 years. Before I get old and can't shake a hammer satisfactorily I want to make the best armor"
Yuu muttered inwardly, "Isn't it enough?".
"I want you to see this"
Gonbugur took a longsword out of the item pouch and placed it on his desk. Then pull out the sword from its scabbard so that Yuu can see it.
"This is a sword struck by the request of the royal family, but what do you think of it, Nameless King?"
It is no exaggeration to say that the longsword struck by Gonbugur was perfect. It was an impeccable sword, even from the perspective of Bernd, who is known as the best blacksmith in Comer. From the blade to the handle, the technique of Gonbugur was incorporated in every detail. There is no omission in the decoration and the sculptures are so detailed and beautiful that it can be said that they were made by skilled elves and dwarf craftsmen.
"I don't like it"
Yuu, who was shown such a sword and put it away with a single word, "I don't like it," even Lena and Marifa, as expected, made their faces stronger and swallowed their spit.
"Hmm. Not only knights, but adventurers should also care about the appearance of their armor"
Gonbugur strokes his beard without any notice.
"I showed this sword to King Nameless because I wanted him to know his arm. Returning to the story, I want you to hand over the material of the ancient dragon. Instead, I want to hit a sword for King Nameless. Let's promise"
"Impossible"
"Hmm, can I ask you why?"
"There is already a blacksmith hitting my sword"
"It's Woods Korori. I've heard from Bernd. Well, I'd say it myself, but I'm better at it. No, not just Woods, but anyone on the Raem continent. When it comes to blacksmithing, I take pride in being the best"
Gonbugur looks at Nina's armor. Lena isn't picked up, but she hugs her cane to hide.
"I'm not going to take it up even if you´re not so vigilant. Perhaps their armor was also made by Woods, didn't he? Well, if I look at the armor, I´m seeing how much skill the blacksmith has"
The expression of Gonbugur staring at Yuu's armor is distorted sadly.
"The material is crying....... The fangs and claws of the black dragon, the wood dragon and the bewitching bug queen that I haven't even dealt with......I can't fully bring out its hidden performance"
At first glance, Gonbugur saw through the materials used in Yuu's armor.
"Woods won't be able to master the materials of an ancient dragon"
"Have you ever made armor from ancient dragon materials?"
"Hmm, no. But, if it's me and my hammer, I should be able to master the materials of the ancient dragon. No, I'll show you how to master it. I've been shaking the hammer for over 100 years. Even if it's an ancient dragon material, it can be done"
It was Gonbugur's strong self-esteem that no one else could handle the materials of the ancient dragon, which could not be imagined from his mild appearance.
"Hmm, what are you dissatisfied with? I can make armor from the material of the ancient dragon and Nameless king can get the armor. Even if I have only the material, I think that it is a treasure which cant be wasted"
From the beginning, Yuu had a strong sign of refusal, which is still the case.
"Looking at the reaction around you, you're a great blacksmith, right?"
"I´m talented to say it myself. But that didn't mean I gained fame. I think I've been working tirelessly"
"I think you were talented and met the expectations of those around you"
"Of course, King Nameless, what do you want to say?"
"You've never been disqualified as a blacksmith, despised, struggled in despair, or even shook a hammer without giving up, just because you had one unlucky skill"
Gonbugur, who has been receiving all kinds of praise, couldn't even imagine it, let alone understand it.
"I can't understand the feelings of those who don't have it. There's only one blacksmith who hits my sword. Woods Korori, I can't think of anyone else. You've got it all. Status, fame, blacksmith's skills, that's fine, right? Or do you want to throw it all away?
--------------------------------------------
Only the pensive Gonbugur and Bernd with a rugged face remained in the room.
"I didn't expect it to go smoothly from the beginning, but I didn't expect him to reject that much"
"Hmm. Bernd, how many years have you been a disciple of mine?"
"What? Certainly......70 to 75, no, about 76 years?"
Bernd looks at Gonbugur with a suspicious look, wondering what to say suddenly.
"Yes. Will it be that much?"
Gonbugur puts the longsword on the desk into the item pouch. He took out a hammer instead. It is a hammer that is old and not beautiful even in flattery. And it was a small hammer that was not suitable for blacksmithing.
"Th, That's the Blacksmith Guild――"
"Hmm, I'll give it to you. From today, Bernd, you're the top of the blacksmith guild"
The blood bleeds from Bernd's face and turns pale and the sweat that gushes out makes his clothes stick to his back.
"Old Gonbugur, please......wait! Don't make such a careless decision!!"
"You have run Comer´s Blacksmith Guild for many years. You´re also a disciple of mine. I'm sure you´re qualified"
"What are you talking about? What about old Gonbugur disciples who are 300 years old! I don't think I can succeed! Or the blacksmith guild will split up?" Do you know what you're talking about!?"
Including self-proclaimed, there are well over a thousand blacksmiths claiming to be Gonbugur's disciples throughout the Raem continent.
"Hmm, I've always thought about blacksmithing. It's still the same. I'm reluctant to take on the head of the blacksmith guild because the people around me say it. It's good to decide. Hahaha, it's metabolism"
"N, Not good, this person....... Someone! Someone see you!! Come right away!!"
Bernd's screams echoed in the adventurer's guild room.
