11. Episode 11

Dealing with the wild boar was not that difficult.

Like a big guy, he is strong enough to break down a rock with a single charge, but if you avoid the charge well, it’s full of gaps.

Of course, it’s hard to pierce his thick skin and muscles with moderate attacks, but… … .

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[ Sharpness ]

– It is a magic developed in the colorless magic tower that consumes mana to maximize the skill of the weapon.

Even mana was applied over the forgotten hero’s sword, which increased attack power against monsters by 10%, so even thick leather could not block Seun’s sword.

In the end, his heart was pierced and he knelt in front of Sewoon.

– Defeated the boss monster of the Boar Hill, ‘Boar Digging the Hill’.

-Personal merit increases by 500 points.

-Obtained ‘Giant Wild Boar’s Molar’.

“No way… … .”

Unlike the ‘gray wolf skin’ worn like a cloak, this item was completely a material item.

It seemed that it could not be used without processing.

“Well, I have to take care of the sword and leather too.”

Good equipment is just as important as raising stats.

Even now, if I had changed my sword, I would have been able to deal with the wild boar much more easily.

The gray wolf hide was fine at first, but as I continued to wear it, the rough, ungroomed fur touched my skin and was very annoying.

Besides, the spoils didn’t end there.

“Is that what you were looking for?”

The name of the wild boar that digs up the hill was not created for nothing.

There were a number of pits he had dug in the hills, and in the center of the nearest pit a piece of rough-faced stone jutted out.

[ Tools of the Forgotten Hero ]

Classification: Material

Rating: D-

Description: A tool used by a now-forgotten, long-disappeared hero to manage his sword.

ability : –

Speaking of tools, to those who didn’t know, they looked nothing more than ordinary stones.

However, as soon as he saw it, Sewoon knew what the stone was for.

‘Could it be connected to the forgotten hero’s sword?’

For a moment, Sewoon thought so and put the tool into his bosom with a slight smile.

Right after that, Seun reached out his hand toward the boar he had defeated. It was to use the power of gluttony and return to the camp immediately.

however.

-Failed to prey on the ‘wild boar digging up the hill’.

“huh?”

As if to prove Beelzebub’s appetite, the teeth that always devour corpses without hesitation stopped growing.

It was the first time he had ever seen something like this, so Sewoon couldn’t help but be confused.

Thinking back to the time of ‘The Wolf Guarding the Grave’ hunting in the Wolf Forest, I thought he would be waiting for me with saliva dripping down my cheeks.

However, while thinking that it would be too wasteful to leave the corpse as it is, fortunately, Beelzebub’s reaction was heard.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ cannot forget the crispy monkey meat and demands a new order from you.

“no way… … .”

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ salivates as he thinks of a roasted wild boar.

– Declares that he will not grant his authority unless the constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ cooks meat.

When he used the power of gluttony on the monkeys who had been burnt with fireballs earlier, he seemed to react more excessively than usual, but his mouth seemed to be more sophisticated.

‘Cooking didn’t seem to improve my stats any more.’

It is difficult.

It doesn’t matter if it’s grilled once, but if your taste becomes more luxurious, you might ask for all the carcasses to be grilled.

It seemed like a moment when negotiations were necessary.

for now.

Hwareuk!

Sizzle-

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ wipes his saliva while watching the oil dripping from the boar meat.

First, we start cooking according to Beelzebub’s request.

If someone else had seen it, they would wonder why they agreed to the request right away when they said they were negotiating.

Shortly after, the golden-brown barbecue was completed, but Se-eun did not use the power of gluttony.

I just watched the barbecue slowly cooling down.

– Constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’ is restless saying that the meat will cool down!

Despite repeated urges, Sewoon did not respond.

Only when Beelzebub’s urgency went beyond nervousness to a level close to screaming, Sewoon opened his mouth.

“I cook once a day. No more.”

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ nodded and shouted for meat quickly.

“And in the future, unreasonable demands or excessive urges are prohibited. There are cases where people refuse to eat the same food, saying they are tired of it, but that is also prohibited.”

Sewoon put everything that bothered him until now into the proposal.

There were several proposals that he could have refused, saying he couldn’t do that normally, but Beelzebub had already lost his temper in front of the well-roasted barbecue.

After Sewoon accepted all the offers, he handed the meat over to Beelzebub using the power of gluttony.

– Predated the ‘wild boar digging up the hill’.

– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 5 and physical strength by 5.

-The constellation ‘The Hungry Prince’ hurriedly buried his face as soon as the barbecue arrived.

-The constellation ‘Crow with Head Down’ shakes his head and looks at the bent table.

The demon of gluttony, Beelzebub.

It was a constellation that was easier to handle than I thought.

* * *

“Brother, are you here!”

“Has anything happened?”

“Thanks to my brother who burned them down, it was over quickly! Now everyone is busy cleaning up the monkey carcass.”

“Why don’t you clean up?”

“I’m not your brother’s right hand. I’m just waiting to be able to assist my brother at any time… … .”

“If you don’t want to burn with the monsters in the next wave, go and help. Twice as hard, including the lazy ones.”

“… … yes!”

Park Jeong-pil. As expected, he must have wanted to borrow Seun’s prestige and rule as a second person at the camp.

However, there was no way Sewoon would just watch that scene. No matter how cool he is, he knows better than anyone what kind of temperament he has.

I had no intention of bothering her with memories from before returning, but I also had no intention of leaving her alone.

‘You’re doing better than I thought.’

Yoo Seo-ah was also conducting, but everyone else was moving with passion.

Compared to before the return, the atmosphere is markedly different.

To be honest, I thought that in order to have a proper atmosphere, there would have to be more injuries and casualties, so there would have to be a sense of crisis to some extent. I thought it would take at least a few more days.

More than Seun thought, people were moving well.

‘That would be nice.’

Sewoon found a suitable place and settled there.

I laid out all the materials I had acquired so far, including the wolf skin, sword, and molars I was wearing.

‘First of all, the sword.’

Seun picked up the ‘Tool of the Forgotten Hero’ that he got from hunting a wild boar.

When I rub it roughly with my hand, I can feel the rough surface.

A tool used by the hero to manage his sword. In other words, this stone was a ‘Whetstone’.

– Opened the treasure house of greed.

[Introductory Guide to the Black Rock Forge]

– The secret to those who are new to blacksmithing at the forge of the Black Rock Tribe, which is made up of Dwarves who are said to be the best craftsmen.

shuck, shuck-

Seun started sharpening the ‘Sword of the Forgotten Hero’.

Although he had wiped off the blood and greased it, Sewoon, who was a normal player, had never sharpened it himself. Even so, Sewoon was sharpening his sword more reliably than anyone else.

Stand up, stretch your arms, and use the power of your lower body to lightly move your upper body.

The rust surrounding the sword is peeling off little by little.

As the rust that bothered me every time I saw it peeled off and the luster of the sword began to return, I felt refreshed.

at that time.

“Oh, that’s a pretty good skill.”

Someone’s voice came from the front.

Sewoon, who was interrupted, frowned and raised his head, but the old man did not pay attention and strode forward.

“Everyone these days uses a grinder, so few blacksmiths know how to sharpen a knife with their bodies. Incredibly accurate.”

“Do you know how to whetstone?”

“of course! I lived on iron rice for decades.”

Was there anyone like this at camp?

Sewoon looked back at his memories before returning, but there was no one who knew how to manage weapons.

maybe.

‘Originally, he would have already died.’

Before the return, it seems that Sewoon was a person who was knocked down by a monster without a chance to remember.

“The condition of the whetstone is also excellent. Where did you get a whetstone of this quality in such a wild place?”

Most of the people at the camp tended to be afraid of Sewoon, but the old man didn’t seem to care about Sewoon’s reaction, whether it was because he had no fear or he had forgotten his fear because he was distracted by the sword.

‘Should I leave it to you?’

There was nothing bad about Sewoon.

I am sharpening my own sword right now, but it was a waste of time to continue managing and remodeling the sword myself.

Having one person at the camp who knows how to maintain the equipment is something to be welcomed with open arms. It was impossible to meet a proper blacksmith until entering the tower.

“If you don’t mind, could you do it for me?”

“Oh oh! Really? welcome to me I thought I would never touch metal again here!”

Sewoon moved away and handed the sword to the old man.

If I don’t like it, I’ll try again myself, but it wasn’t a bad choice to keep an eye on my skills.

As soon as the old man accepted the sword, he opened his mouth and exclaimed in admiration.

“It is a good sword. It’s old and rusty, but it has a good center of gravity and the blade isn’t too bad.”

From what he said, it seemed that he knew more about swords than he thought.

The old man sat down in front of the whetstone as if he had been there from the start, and began sharpening his sword without hesitation.

‘Definitely sophisticated.’

It looks bold, but it is infinitely soft and delicate.

Thoroughly remove rust, and caress the blades one by one with careful hands. Even though it is simply grinding with a whetstone, the craftsman’s hand is felt.

Looking at the knowledge from the black rock forge’s introductory book, there was nothing to regret about his skills.

after a while like that.

No matter how much he concentrated, the old man stood up, wiping the cold sweat from his seat.

“after! I’ve been concentrating on it for a while. Now, listen here.”

Seun accepted the sword.

swish, swish!

As soon as I swung my sword into the air a few times, I could immediately realize the difference.

Every time he swings his sword, the wind splits and a sharp pangong sound is heard.

Somehow, the center of gravity has also improved, and the movement has become much cleaner than before.

[Sword of Forgotten Hero]

Classification: Long Sword

Rating: D+

Description: A sword in honor of a now forgotten, long-gone hero. Thanks to the hand of a great craftsman, the former rite has been restored.

Ability: 1. Craftsman’s touch – Increases cutting rate by 20%.

2. Traces of a Hero – Damage targeting monsters increases by 15%.

The system also recognized the man’s whetstone.

Instead of the previous ‘Iron Dog’, there was an ability called ‘Artisan’s Touch’, and a 20% increase in cutting rate was comparable to the Sharpness magic that Seun used on the hill.

The second ability, ‘Hero’s Trace’, also had a 5% increase in effect.

“It’s good.”

“yes? Even though swords seem simple, they are more sensitive than anyone else in the world. It’s been a long time since I’ve been ironing, so I’m all cool inside.”

“Then, may I ask for this too?”

“Oh, this is a pretty good leather. Is this a molar? If you polish it well, you can make something quite useful.”

As with the sword, the old man’s eyes twinkled with leather and molars.

As if he had already begun to be immersed, he began to immerse himself in his work without answering.

As Se-Woon, time is not wasted and better results can be expected, so there has never been a better situation like this.

at that time.

-The constellation ‘Soldier Wearing a Golden Crown’ is interested in the player ‘Ko Chang-seok’.

Seun’s eyes widened when he saw the message floating above the old man’s head.
