11. Episode 11
Dealing with the wild boar wasn’t that difficult.
As expected of a large creature, it is strong enough to destroy a rock with a single charge, but if you can just dodge the charge, it is vulnerable.
Of course, it would be difficult to penetrate its thick hide and muscles with just any attack… … .
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[Sharpness]
– A magic developed in the Colorless Tower that maximizes the weapon’s anticipation by consuming mana.
With mana added to the Forgotten Hero’s Sword, which increases attack power against monsters by 10%, even thick leather could not stop Seun’s sword.
Eventually, the guy knelt before Seun, his heart pierced.
– Defeated the boss monster of Boar Hill, ‘Boar Digging Up the Hill’.
– Personal public service value increases by 500 points.
-You have obtained the ‘Giant Boar’s Tusk’.
“Wisdom teeth… … .”
Unlike the ‘Gray Wolf Skin’ that was worn like a cloak, this item was entirely a material item.
It seemed like it couldn’t be used without processing.
“Well, I have to take care of the sword and leather too.”
Good gear is just as important as increasing your abilities.
If I had sharpened my sword just now, I would have been able to deal with the boar much more easily.
The gray wolf skin was fine at first, but after wearing it for a while, the rough, unkempt fur began to irritate my skin.
Besides, the loot didn’t end there.
“Is that what you were looking for?”
It wasn’t called the hill-digging boar for nothing.
There were numerous pits on the hill that the guy had dug, and in the center of the nearest pit was a rough-surfaced piece of stone sticking out.
[ Tools of the Forgotten Hero ]
Category: Material
Grade: D-
Description: A tool used by a long-lost, now forgotten hero to maintain his sword.
ability : –
Even if it was called a tool, to an untrained eye it looked like nothing more than an ordinary stone.
However, as soon as he saw the sight, Seun could understand the purpose of the stone.
‘Could it be that it’s connected to the sword of the forgotten hero?’
Se-Woon thought about it for a moment, smiled slightly, and put the tool in his bosom.
Immediately afterwards, Seun reached out his hand towards the wild boar he had defeated. He intended to use the power of gluttony and return to camp.
however.
– Failed to prey on the ‘boar digging the hill’.
“huh?”
As if to prove Beelzebub’s appetite, the teeth that used to devour corpses without hesitation no longer grew.
Since this was the first time something like this had happened, Se-woon couldn’t help but be bewildered.
Thinking back to the time when I was hunting in the Wolf Forest and saw the ‘grave guard wolf’, I thought he would be waiting with his drool dripping down his face.
While I was thinking that it would be a waste to just leave the body like that, fortunately, I heard Beelzebub’s reaction.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, cannot forget the crispy monkey meat and asks you for a new order.
“no way…….”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, drools at the thought of a juicy roasted boar.
-The constellation declares that it will not grant its power unless the ‘hungry prince’ cooks it meat.
When I used the power of gluttony on the monkeys that were burned by the fireball earlier, I thought they were reacting more excessively than usual, but it seems like their mouths have become more refined.
‘It doesn’t seem like cooking will raise your abilities any further.’
It is difficult.
I don’t mind grilling it once now, but if my taste buds continue to grow, I might end up asking for the entire corpse to be grilled.
It seemed like a moment where negotiation was necessary.
for now.
Hurrah!
Sizzle sizzle-
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, wipes his drool as he watches the fat dripping from the boar meat.
First, we start cooking according to Beelzebub’s request.
If someone else saw this, they might wonder why you are giving in to their demands right away when you are negotiating, but negotiation requires a great proposal that can dazzle the other party.
Before long, the golden roasted boar was ready, but Se-woon did not use his power of gluttony.
I just stood there and watched the barbecue cooling down.
-Constellation, the ‘hungry prince’ is fidgeting, saying that the meat will get cold if this continues!
Despite repeated urging, Se-Woon did not respond.
Only when Beelzebub’s urgency grew beyond impatience and reached a level close to screaming did Seun open his mouth.
“Cooking is done once a day. Not more than that.”
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, nods his head repeatedly and shouts for meat quickly.
“And in the future, unreasonable demands or excessive urging are prohibited. There are cases where people refuse to eat the same food because they are tired of it, but that is also prohibited.”
Se-un, who came to this conclusion, incorporated all the things that had been bothersome up until now into his proposal.
There were a few suggestions that he would normally refuse, but Beelzebub had already lost his mind in front of a well-cooked barbecue.
Only after Seun had received acceptance of all the proposals did he use his power of gluttony to give the meat to Beelzebub.
– Predated on a ‘wild boar digging up the hill’.
– Absorbs nutrients to increase strength by 5 and stamina by 5.
-The constellation, ‘The Hungry Prince’, buries his face in the barbecue as soon as it arrives.
-The constellation, ‘The Crow with its Head Down’, tilts its head and looks at the bent table.
Beelzebub, the god of gluttony.
It was a constellation that was easier to handle than I thought.
* * *
“Brother, you’re here!”
“Nothing happened?”
“Thanks to you, my brother, for burning them all down, it ended quickly! Now everyone is busy cleaning up the monkey corpses.”
“Why don’t you clean it up?”
“Aren’t I your right-hand man? I’m always waiting to assist you… … .”
“If you don’t want to burn with the monsters in the next wave, then hurry up and help. Add in the fact that you’ve been slacking off and work twice as hard.”
“……yes!”
Park Jeong-pil. As expected, he wanted to use Se-un’s influence to reign as the second-in-command in the camp.
However, Se-woon couldn’t just sit by and watch that happen. No matter how polite he was, he knew better than anyone what kind of personality the guy had.
I don’t intend to bother you with memories from before your regression, but I also don’t intend to leave you alone.
‘You’re doing better than I thought.’
Not only was Yu Seo-ah conducting, but everyone else was moving with passion.
Compared to before the regression, the atmosphere is drastically different.
To be honest, I thought there would have to be more casualties and injuries to create a sense of crisis to create a proper atmosphere. I thought it would take at least a few more days.
People were moving better than Se-un had expected.
‘That would be nice.’
Seun found a suitable place and settled down there.
I spread out all the materials I had acquired so far, including the wolf skin, sword, and tusk I was wearing.
‘First, the sword.’
Seun picked up the ‘Forgotten Hero’s Tool’ that he had obtained while hunting a wild boar.
When I roughly ran my hand over it, I could feel the rough surface.
A tool used by the hero to maintain his sword. In other words, this stone was a ‘whiskstone’.
-The Treasure Trove of Greed has been opened.
[ Black Rock Forge’s Guide ]
– A secret method taught to those who are just beginning to learn blacksmithing at the Black Rock Tribe’s blacksmith shop, which is comprised of dwarves who are known as the best craftsmen.
Swish, swish-
Seun began sharpening the ‘Sword of the Forgotten Hero’.
Seun, who was an ordinary player, had never sharpened his sword himself, even though he had wiped off the blood and oiled it. And yet, Seun was sharpening his sword more steadily than anyone else.
Stand up, stretch your arms, and use the strength of your lower body to gently move your upper body.
The rust surrounding the sword is slowly peeling off.
As the rust that had been bothering me every time I looked at it began to peel off and the sword began to regain its shine, I felt a sense of relief.
at that time.
“Wow, that’s quite an impressive skill.”
Someone’s voice was heard from ahead.
Se-Woon frowned and raised his head, feeling disturbed, but the old man paid him no attention and strode towards him.
“These days, everyone uses sharpening machines, so there are probably very few blacksmiths who can sharpen a knife with their own body like this. It’s surprisingly accurate.”
“Do you know how to whetstone?”
“Of course! I’ve been eating rice cakes for decades.”
Were there people like this at the camp?
Seun looked back on his memories before his return, but there was no one among them who knew how to manage weapons.
maybe.
‘He would have already been dead if he had been born that way.’
Before returning, Seun seems to have been defeated by a monster without any recollection of what had happened.
“The whetstone is in excellent condition. Where did you find a whetstone of this quality in the wild?”
Most people in the camp tended to be afraid of Seun, but the old man seemed to not care about Seun’s reaction, either because he was fearless or because he had forgotten his fear while being distracted by the sword.
‘Should I leave it to you?’
As for Seun, there was nothing wrong with it.
I’m sharpening the sword myself now, but I don’t have enough time to continue to maintain and modify the sword myself.
Having someone in the camp who knows how to take care of your gear is a welcome thing, since you won’t be able to find a proper blacksmith until you get to the tower.
“If you don’t mind, could you do it for me?”
“Oh! Really? I am welcome. I thought I would never touch iron again here!”
Se-Woon gave up his seat and handed the old man a sword.
If I don’t like it, I’ll try again myself, but it wasn’t a bad choice to just watch his skills.
As soon as the old man took the sword, he opened his mouth and let out an exclamation of admiration.
“It’s a good sword. It’s old and worn, but it’s well-balanced and the blade isn’t too damaged.”
From what you said, it seemed like you knew more about swords than I thought.
The old man sat down in front of the whetstone as if it had been his place from the beginning and began sharpening his sword without hesitation.
‘It’s definitely sophisticated.’
It looks bold, but is infinitely soft and delicate.
Rust is thoroughly removed, and each blade is carefully handled. Even though it is just a whetstone, you can feel the craftsman’s touch.
Even judging from the knowledge gained through the Black Rock Blacksmith’s introductory book, there was nothing to be sorry about in terms of his skills.
After a while like that.
The old man stood up from his seat, wiping away the cold sweat that was running down his face as he concentrated.
“Whew! You finally focused. Now, listen here.”
Seun took up the sword.
Whoosh, whoosh!
As soon as I swung my sword a few times into the air, I could immediately sense the difference.
Every time he swings his sword, the wind splits and a sharp, cracking sound is heard, showing just how good his skills have become.
Somehow the center of gravity has improved and the movements are much cleaner than before.
[Sword of the Forgotten Hero]
Category: Longsword
Grade: D+
Description: A sword created to honor a long-lost hero, now forgotten. Thanks to the hands of a great craftsman, it has been restored to its former glory.
Ability: 1. Craftsman’s Hand – Cutting rate increases by 20%.
2. Hero’s Traces – Attack power against monsters increases by 15%.
The system also acknowledged the man’s whetstone.
Instead of the existing ‘Sharpening’, it had the ability ‘Craftsman’s Hand’, and with a 20% increase in cutting rate, it was comparable to the Sharpness magic that Seun used on the hill.
The second ability, ‘Traces of the Hero’, also had its effect increased by 5%.
“It’s good.”
“Right? Even though swords may seem simple, they are more sensitive than anyone else in the world. It feels so good to finally be able to wield an iron.”
“Then, can I ask you this too?”
“Oh, this is also a pretty good leather. Is this a molar? If you trim it well, you could make something quite useful out of it.”
As with the sword, the eyes of the old man holding the leather and molars sparkled.
He began to immerse himself in his work without even answering, perhaps because he was already absorbed in it.
For Seun, there has never been a better situation than this one, where time is not wasted and better results can be expected.
at that time.
-The constellation ‘Soldier in the Golden Crown’ takes interest in the player ‘Go Chang-seok’.
Se-Woon’s eyes widened as he confirmed the message floating above the old man’s head.
