E - Rank Hero In Another World
Chapter 29 - First Foothold

'Slicing!'

Artemis put 5 weapons as ordered by Dimas, or can now be called by Leo, right at his desk.

"This, according to your request." Artemis.

"Thank you very much."

Dimas then immediately checked all the weapons he was carrying.

'Two one-handed swords, a crossbow, a bow and a spear. Interesting choice, Artemis. Now....' Leo thought in his heart.

"So, Leo.... What am I supposed to do now?" Ask Artemis.

"You can rest and do whatever you want. What matters is that you come back here tomorrow before you buy a new weapon." Reply Leo.

"Then I'm gonna sit here and see what you're gonna do." Artemis said as she pulled up a chair and sat down next to her.

Leo was initially quite worried, but he ignored him and decided to get to work.

The first weapon he chose was a one-handed sword.

But before that....

"Artemist. What I am going to do right now is a high-level magic that is quite complicated and secretive. Can you keep this a secret no matter what?" Ask Leo.

"Keep the secret.... Of course I can and...."

"If this secret never leaks, I'll add a bonus of 10 gold coins every month." Leo cut off the word Artemis.

"At death I won't say anything that's happened here!" Artemis shouted very loudly and confidently.

After making sure the secret is safe, Dimas or Leo immediately began his magic. An S-level magic is Enchanting.

Both of his hands were pointing right above the blade of the sword. While both of his eyes were closed tightly enough to focus on flowing the Mana in his body towards his two hands.

On the other hand, Artemis is seen watching what Leo does carefully. His face looked very enthusiastic about what was going on.

After that, a red light began to appear from Leo's palm. Everything immediately entered the sword slowly.

Right after about a minute the process takes place....

"Done. I didn't think this would work." Said Leo while raising the one-handed sword.

"Hmm? What's different about that sword?" Artemis asked curiously as she did not understand what was really going on.

Leo began to explain it very briefly to Artemis.

"In essence, that red light made this sword even stronger. And that would increase the selling price of this sword. From the money made, we'll buy new weapons and repeat the same process over and over again."

That explanation could only leave Artemis gaping and amazed.

"Leos.... Aren't you very smart and very good at thinking about that? We're not.... Will it be rich?!" Shouted Artemis while smiling very widely.

"Wait first. Something is wrong in your statement. The truth is I'm rich, not us."

Instantly, Artemis' smile immediately disappeared and turned into a sullen face.

"Huh.... Why that? Aren't we working together on this?"

"I've paid you. So there's no need for me to give more. But maybe.... Maybe if you work well, I could just give you more. 20% of the profits for example." Reply Leo.

"Yes! Then I'll sell it soon and...."

"Wait first! There's still something I want to try!"

What Leo wants to do. That is trying to add two Enchantments to one item in the same.

Can it be done?

Will there be negative effects in doing so?

If it can be done, is there a limit to the amount?

Those questions had haunted his mind for a long time. And this time, Leo who still had half his Mana, would give it a try.

What he wants to add....

Right after a minute and 30 seconds, the Enchantment was complete.

And to determine whether the Enchantment he was doing had any effect on the sword....

'Clairvoyance!'

Leo used the power of his eyes to thoroughly identify the sword.

...[.Iron Sword - Rating: E]...

...[.Attributes]...

...Attack Power 82...

...Durability: 97/100...

...[.Enchantments]...

...Sharpness [D] - Improving the sharpness of the sword and its power. Attack Power increased by 105. ...

...Durability [D] - Increases the resistance of the sword making it difficult to break. Sword hardness increased by 30, while durability increased by 50....

'So so.... I can add 2 different Enchantments to one same item. The question is, can I add the same kind of Enchantment to one item?'

Immersed in that thought, Leo continuously watched his sword. Once satisfied, he handed the sword to Artemis.

"If you want money, sell this sword. Remember, don't go to the same store when you buy it. While price....

Target the price of about 6 gold coins, or near it. Do not sell under 4 gold coins. Understood it? If you succeed, you can keep a third of the coins produced."

Hearing that explanation, Artemis immediately snatched the sword that was being held by Leo without a word.

"I'll surprise you! Bye bye!" Shouted Artemis who immediately left the room.

Is he trustworthy? Can he do a good job?

All of this will be decided a second time here.

After all, according to Dimas or Leo himself, Artemis is the type of person who is honest as long as his wishes are fulfilled.

While his wish was a very simple thing and quite frankly. That's money.

'Huh.... Now my Mana is finished. Should I rest now? After all, can I make an item capable of increasing my Mana count?

Honestly, I hate this weak character of Dimas. Why am I destined to be like this?' Leo complained to himself in his heart.

Right now, he slightly cursed his weak-born self. Even in this other world.

"Level E yes.... Can I raise it?" Said Leo to himself while paying attention to his body status.

During the journey from inside the mine cave to this city, the status changed slightly. Especially the Vitality section which increased by 1 point and Magic which increased by 1 point.

His mana had increased by 20 points since that day.

"If I keep practicing.... I'm gonna get stronger, aren't I?"

With that sentence, his eyes began to feel heavy. No longer able to open.

His breathing began to slow down, then his consciousness began to fade.

Slowly....

He began to leave his former self.

A weak person who can do nothing.

Be it on earth, or in this world.

'Leo yes.... Not a bad name.'

At that time, Leo again felt the comfort of sleeping soundly. On a soft bed, and a warm blanket.
