Chap 27's

“Lululala~”
Sairou was humming the song naturally as he exited the capsule. As soon as he came out, he sat on the toilet seat.
“Lululululu~”
Then he headed to the kitchen and drank some cold water.
“Lalalala~”
He lay on the couch and watched TV. The humming did not stop, and laughter even began to appear. Sairou is so happy! Thanks to the Hidden Missions, he acquired combat buff skills and then completed the Missions safely, paving the way to the related Missions. He also reached many levels in a short period of time.
“I killed some gangsters and reached level 21. Isn't this a huge jackpot? Why has my luck been so good lately?”
Hidden missions are not easy to obtain. This was the first time he had earned one in a year playing Satisfy. Among the billions of people currently playing Satisfy, only a handful would obtain a hidden Mission. Many things had gone well since he became Pagma's Successor. It was truly an incredible class.
“There's a reason for my misfortune. It was a divine revelation after years of suffering. Ahahahah~!”
What kind of mission would Blacksmith Khan give him? And what's the prize? Perhaps a very large gift would be a unique item that he could use for a while ...
If so-!
“I can be a billionaire! Huahahaha!”
The performance of Dainsleif and Valhalla was almost the same as 'Failure' with the unique rating he designed. However, since the conditions of their use were very normal, it was possible for them to have astronomical value when dealing with users.
'That is an item that reminds me why Failure is failure.'
Albatino is a great blacksmith. He was probably the blacksmith who inspired Pagma ...
“Such great men are not legendary blacksmiths, while I found a legendary class of blacksmiths during missions.
Sairou once again felt grateful for the legendary class he obtained.
"Hm."
He stared at his watch with a yawn and saw that it had been two hours since he left the capsule.
“Eight hours have passed in the world of Satisfy. Isn't Khan gonna wake up soon?”
According to doctors, Khan's health was severe due to excessive drinking and stress, however, if he followed the search story, Khan would overcome his alcohol addiction, and his health would recover. So no need to worry about it.
Sairou is connected to Satisfy.
"Logins."
His vision darkened before turning into a warm light as he opened his two eyes.
“...This is a clinic.”
The last place he came out was the clinic where Khan was hospitalized.
Rous immediately goes to find a doctor named Simon. "How's the old man doing?"
Simon smiled kindly. “I think it is dangerous because of the sudden increase in blood pressure in his weakened condition, but his condition is better than expected. He could be out of the hospital soon. God bless him..”.
"I'm glad to hear it."
"He'll be healthier if he stays away from drinking in the future."
Rous heads to Khan's room with Simon.
After a while, Khan smiled as he looked at Rous. “Ohh, welcome. I owe you a lot.”
Rous replied with a smile, “Those who are in a difficult situation should help each other. Now, you can leave the hospital. You just need to pay for the treatment fee.”
"...."
Why didn't Khan answer? Rous would not want to feel uncomfortable.
Then Khan's words were like a bolt of lightning from a clear sky, "Sorry ..."
'I-It ...!' It was like a bolt of lightning that struck Rous's mind. "Don't say ... You won't pay the bill?"
“I don't want to pay, but I can't. I don't have any money.”
“Then what will you do? Does this clinic accept credit?” Rous looked at Simon.
Simon's ever-present benevolent expression was gone. Then he spoke with a very business-like expression, "Credit is impossible."
"......" Rous wanted to leave this old man alone, but then he would not be able to get the mission. “Sial! Bad luck is waiting! Luck is really the worst!”
He had to pay one gold for Khan's medical expenses. Rous was afraid to count how much he spent today.
As soon as Khan arrived at his workshop, he turned towards Rous and bowed 90 degrees, expressing his sincere gratitude. "Thank you again."
Fortunately, Khan has a conscience. He thanked the person who paid one gold for his medical bills. "thank you. Thank you very much. I can feel hope again because of you. I managed to maintain a business that had been in my family for seven generations .. which was almost lost to my ignorance. I don't know how to reply you ... "
Khan started crying. Unlike young people, old people really have a lot of tears.
"Old Man ..." Rous grabbed Khan's rough hand.
It was a common act that a 'main character' drama would perform. 'Isn't it natural to help a neighbor in trouble? It's Nothing, Old Man. No need to feel sorry. I don't need anything in return for my help.’ Such unrealistic words would be spoken.
“If you really appreciate it, give me something. Come on."
"Yes that's right. Of course, I have to pay you back. Your Grace is too great; I don't know what kind of gift to give you. ”
Rous had just noticed something. Isn't this old man so simple? Did he not pay attention to the words Rous used?
Anyway, Rous stayed focused. He can't think of anything else.
“Old Man, you were almost robbed from this workshop by those gangsters. If you keep drinking, your health will deteriorate, and you will eventually die.”
"Um, that's right."
“When you faint due to high blood pressure, you can die. Aren't you alive because I took you to the clinic and paid for your treatment?”
"Yes." Yeah."
"Then, am I not your life-saver?"
"Yes." Yeah."
Rous said logically, "For the savior of your life, you must give me a precious treasure equivalent to your life!"
Khan stopped crying and looked very sorry. “Precious treasure equal to my life. What am I supposed to do? Ugh..”
“Don't look so sad. I'm very good, so I don't want a treasure equivalent to your life. There, there.” Rous pointed to the second floor with his finger. “If you give me Dainsleif and Valhalla, that's enough as a gift.”
Rous's heart was racing. It was because he was filled with the hope of receiving an item as a gift. After all, this was Rous, and the world had never gone so easily.
“They are heirlooms that have been passed down in my family for generations. They are treasures that cannot be compared to my life. I'll give my life to you, but I can't give you those things. ” That was a flat rejection from Khan.
If he wasn't going to give them, why bother being so sincere?
As wrinkles appeared on Rous's face, Khan coughed in embarrassment and explained, “This is a treasure that my ancestor, Albatino, dedicated to his soul. His soul treasure could not be handled by his descendants. I am obligated to keep the heirloom until I die. But there is an exception.”
Khan is Albatino's descendant? He can't fake his blood. Does that mean he will show advanced blacksmithing skills after his alcohol addiction is cured? And what's the exception?
“What is the exception?” Rous asked.
Khan's gaze became serious. “There's something I want to ask you. How can you use the treasure? And how do you know its value at a glance?”
He explained, “Dainsleif and Valhalla are unlucky fighting gear. Their performance surpassed imagination, but due to the terms of use, it had been hundreds of years since their owners appeared. No hero can use it. It's been like that for the last few centuries. Therefore, they have disappeared from the historical record, and no one knows about their whereabouts now.”
Khan and Rous climbed up and then stood while facing Dainsleif and Valhalla.
Khan touched them and gestured, “I am sad because I want the world to know the value of Dainsleif and Valhalla. So I put them in this prominent place. But in order to fully understand such an excellent work, the person needs the same level of insight as the creator. Although it has been featured for decades, no one understands its value.”
After saying that, Khan turned to face Rous. "Then you showed up here."
The long story begins.
“There is a legend passed down in my family. About 130 years ago, a man named Pagma came here. He found Dainsleif and Valhalla collecting dust in a corner of the shop. At a glance, he saw the value of Dainsleif and Valhalla.” As Khan spoke, his eyes sparkled.
“Pagma admires the work of Dainsleif and Valhalla. It is said that he showed off his swordsmanship while wearing Dainsleif, which no hero has ever used. Its beauty was simply incredible, and its swordsmanship seemed to pierce through the sky, creating lightning.”
Rous. That's a very interesting fairy tale!
Did Khan read the interest in Rous's eyes?
In the next moment, Khan became even more immersed in storytelling. “My ancestor, who witnessed swordsmanship, knelt in front of Pagma and pleaded, ‘Please take Dainsleif and Valhalla. That's what my ancestors wanted."
"Ohh! It became more epic! So then? Does Pagma agree? ”
"No. If Pagma agreed, then Dainsleif and Valhalla wouldn't be here right now. This is Pagma's answer: 'These works are filled with the soul of Albatino. I will refuse because they are so strong. They can't be wasted in a small bowl like me.' Pagma was stubborn, and my ancestors finally had to give up."
Rous doesn't really understand the guy named Pagma. Why would he refuse something free? Rous will accept and sell it.
'Ah, Pagma must be a very rich man. So he's not greedy.'
While Rous was thinking this, Khan kept telling his story.
“Before he left here, Pagma said, ‘Currently no hero can handle this armor. However, when the time comes, many heroes will appear, and they will all be qualified to become the master of that armor.' "
"...."
Rous interprets Pagma's words and knows many of the heroes he talks about refer to the cast. The growth of players is very fast and unlimited. There will soon be rankers who can use Dainsleif and Valhalla.
"I don't want those things taken away by them."
Rous immediately asked Khan, "So what is the reason for that long explanation?"
Khan replied without hesitation, "I want to know your identity."
"Do you think I'm one of the heroes Pagma talked about?"
"That's right. Didn't I say there was an exception? If you can prove that you are one of the heroes Pagma spoke of, I'm willing to give you Dainsleif and Valhalla." There was a strong hope in Khan's eyes.
Meanwhile, it was impossible for Rous to know .. that this was related to an ancient mission.
