Super Equipment
The Chap 40

...~•~...

It had been two hours since the item production game began, and it was around this time that the crowd began to lose interest. While Euphemina had already finished her blade and had moved to the hilt, Rous had not even finished the outline of the blade. Instead, he continued to soften the iron.

Tang! Tang!

Thanks to Khan helping Rous clamp metal with his clamp, Rous could become more focused on hammering and forging.

[The Legendary Iron Clever Patience Skill has been activated. Concentration, stamina, and defense will increase to an extreme over the course of an hour.]

A notification window popped up while Rous was concentrating. Simultaneously, he was able to give off a sharp aura of concentration, making his hammer blow even more powerful and complicated.

Oh yang!

The sound of cheering was completely reduced. He forgot he was in Winston Central Field which contained thousands of people, and even the presence of Khan's aid became blurred. Everything's calm. The only thing in the world is iron.

Ttang - ttang - ttang

Palu and Rous are not separate entities. They are completely united. There was no resistance in the movement of the hammer, and it followed his desires as if it was part of his body.

Ttaaang!

When it was formed into a blade, the metal let out a clear sound.

Then a notification window appeared.

[The Legendary Iron Clever Breath has increased the effectiveness of your production items]

“......!”

Rous's spirit disappeared, and the calm world suddenly changed.

“Erina! erin! Erina!”

“Khan, fight!”

"I believe in Rous!"

Audience cheers, birds chirping on the fence, clockwork clanking of the clock tower, and the clanking of Erina—'s hammers there were all sorts of sounds that could be heard from the other side of the stage.

"G ..." Rous's consciousness was not satisfied as he returned from his own world. As if reality was troubling him.

"I want to stay there a little longer."

He felt it was too bad. This was the first time since the creation of the Jaffa Arrow that she was so immersed in the production process. If he could stay in that world any longer, he thought he could create a better masterpiece.

While Rous was feeling regretful, he heard Khan's trembling voice, "I never thought iron could be so beautiful ..."

Now Rous has finished the blade. Then he saw it. It was very sophisticated and more beautiful than any artwork! The eyes of a legendary blacksmith could see that this occupation was more prominent than the Special Jaffa Arrow.

“B-Good...exceptional! To think I can enjoy the glory of helping this work! I thought I was born to be a blacksmith just for today! " cried Khan with great zeal.

Nevertheless, Rous remained calm. It was because he could not ruin the remaining process.

"Storage."

He took out the minotaur horn from his Storage. The reason why he spent 10 gold before the match was because he would make a scabbard and hilt with this horn. The holster can be used as a defensive tool depending on the situation, so it is better to have the right weight and rigidity. Meanwhile, the hilt should be relatively soft to minimize player fatigue. Minotaur horns are strong and durable, but they turn out to be very soft. It has the texture of brass casting. In other words, it is suitable for use for the sheath and the hilt.

Srouk.

First, the scabbard is designed based on the size of the blade, while the length, width, and shape of the handle are made based on the size of an adult man's hand. That's really practical. Minotaur horns show artistic patterns on it, so they show art without Rous having to do anything.

After finishing the design, Rous focused on the production when he heard the incredible screams from the stands. Erina had completed a dagger one step ahead of her.

The host checked his dagger and was impressed. “It's really a great job! Making this in less than three hours, I can only admire this amazing work now!”

"What kind of work is created that can cause such a shock?"

“Do not see it alone. Show us!”

The crowd was in an uproar because they wanted to know about the finished work.

After the host made sure that their curiosity reached its peak, he focused the audience's attention on the backstage mounted display boards.

"okay! Have a look!"

On the display board, Erina's dagger appeared. It was very sharp but had a good balance. This was a superior dagger that would be able to exert an incredible attack power. The handle is made of brass casting with beautiful patterns engraved on it, making it a beautiful ornament as well.

“Ohhhh!”

“The batter resembles its owner! I've never seen such a beautiful dagger before. I want to see!"

“It's about Capability. Just by looking at it, I can say that its performance is outstanding. I want it so much.”

The crowd was very enthusiastic. Now it was not only the men who showed a good opinion towards Erina but also the female players.

Then the detailed information of the dagger appeared.

[Belati Witch]

[Rank: Epic]

Durability: 60/60 Attack Power: 122~127 Attack Speed: +8%

* There is a certain possibility to bewitch the enemy.

* Durability will quickly run out when blocking attacks.

The resulting dagger uses the refined skills and superior aesthetics of an excellent blacksmith.

Deadly beauty can sometimes steal the hearts of others.

Its sharp blade has high attack power, but its drawback is that it lacks resilience.

[User Limit: Level 100 or higher. More than 200 agility. More than 30 powers. Intermediate Dagger Mastery.]

The players are sure. “The result is clear! Erina definitely won this game!”

Even the citizens of Winston felt desperate. “Ah... the woman is a great blacksmith. Rous is the blacksmith that Khan recognized, but could he have created something better? ”

Rabbit and other Mero Company officials seemed convinced that victory was within their grasp. However, Rous was not afraid. Khan is the same.

He laughed and said, The “Girl has amazing skills for her young age. They're happy now, but it won't be like that in the future. Isn't that right?”

The gloves and handles are complete.

Rous nodded as they combined with his blade. "of course. I represent the ugly people in the world. I will never stop.”

Khan frowned. “Representing ugly people? Whatdoes thatmean? You fight on behalf of the workshop, the workshop!”

“...Ah, sorry. I forget. Now, should we go and take care of that workshop?”

The dagger's done. Rous was very happy to see the information about the dagger and showed his dagger to the host.

The host did not even see Rous's dagger properly as he said to the crowd, “Despite having two people, this team spent more time than Erina to make a dagger. He could not hide the fact that the results of this game were too obvious!”

"Ha ha ha! Yep! It was embarrassing for two men to fight a woman, but it was over! ”

Crowd agrees.

Rous mocked them all. “Look at my work, and be careful not to have a heart attack due to shock.”

At that moment, soldiers armed with swords and spears rose onto the stage. Then they confiscated Rous's dagger.

“A-What?” Rous's confused.

A fully armed knight shouted, “I have received information that you are cooperating with a criminal named Huroi, who was arrested eight days ago for trying to harm Winston! You should be asked about this! ”

“Huroi?”

Was the knight talking about Huroi receiving the mission 'For Winston Dwellers'? Huroi is captured and fails the mission...?

'That useless piece. No... why am I associated with him?’

Rous refused, “What did you say? I don't know that guy! Let me go!"

The knight drew his sword at Rous's defiance and warned him, "I suggest that you don't fight."

"Yes..."

If Rous does anything, this bastard will really kill him. A sword was pointed at Rous's neck! Rous is unarmed and forced to follow as the soldiers drag him down the stage.

Khan exclaimed, “What are you doing? Why would you unfairly frame someone? ”

The knights and soldiers ignored Khan.

Khan finally ran to where the Mero officials were sitting. Then he shouted to someone, “Valmont! You wretched coward! You know that you are not going to win the game, so you are trying to finish it this way! Aren't you afraid of the residents of Winston?”

However, Khan's shout was useless. The middle-aged man, Valmont, did not respond. It was as if he had just heard a disturbing dog barking.

Thus, Rous was brought to the castle by the armed forces.

... ***...

'This is impossible!'

Rabbit has spent 20 years as a trader. Meanwhile, it has handled many superior products. That was why he was stunned as he inspected the dagger that Rous had made.

'This is no ordinary thing! Erina's dagger couldn't compare to her. Our... We lost. I don't think he'll have that much skill!’

Valmont, who was sitting beside Rabbit, muttered in an angry voice, "We lost."

He also instantly noticed it when he saw Rous's dagger. His eyes were as good as Rabbit's when he saw the spectacular items.

Rabbit stoops. "I'm sorry. I should have been more vigilant.”

Valmont forgave him for failing this time because there was nothing else he could do.

“It wasn't your fault. You hired an incredible blacksmith, but his opponent was too strong. His skills were different from his appearance. ”

When he first saw Rous, Valmont inwardly declared their victory, guessing Rous was just a lowly blacksmith. But the results are clear and simple.

This failure could not be blamed on Rabbit. Rous is just an amazing person.

“He disguised himself as a trash man so that he could make his opponent underestimate him. This competition needs to be met well. How can I receive this result?”

Valmont wants the workshop. It is unacceptable for a trader to give up on the profits of the workshop because of a game.

Rabbit tried to persuade him, “But we have already announced this publicly. If we do not accept the result, public sentiment will not be changeable.”

Valmont raised his voice, “You're talking nonsense. I really will never give up on the workshop!”

Rabbit can no longer stop Valmont. How could he be so confident in this bad situation? Valmont must have something up his sleeve.

Then Valmont smiled wickedly. “At first the audience did not know the result. Unlike us, they did not have sharp eyes to see that it was a good item. Unless the details were checked, it was impossible to know that Rous's dagger was far superior to Erina's dagger. Mr. Philippon!”

Phillipson was a knight of Baron Lowe, the ruler of Winston, and he was here as Valmont's bodyguard. That clearly shows how great Valmont's current position is in Winston.

Valmont gave orders to Philippon, “Capture him immediately on charges of being a friend of Huroi, who was arrested recently. You have to confiscate the keris he made. That dagger information should not be disclosed to the public! ”

"I understand" replied Philipson.

Then Phillipson's soldiers infiltrated the stage. They quickly took the dagger and caught Rous.
