The Rise of the Sword Expert

The Rise of the Sword Expert
Meets List


Honestly, a lot of things happened after I moved here. From bad to fun here is really mixed. Even now that I've prepared to go again with Levian, I didn't bring Aaron. Because there is something more practical now.


A magic scroll was in my hands. We'll both go to Berk mountain.


"Why don't you come?"


"I want to be here with my research." Tanka put on a serious face, she even wore her sized lab clothes. I don't know when he made it.


"How can I get in there?"


"That's a special seal. I've modified it so you can get in."


"really?"


"Yes, then please bring me this while you're there." Tanka gave a note containing a list that should be below.


That's why we're the only two leaving. After all, Harzem whines to come along, but I order him to stay here to help Tanka or not at all. The threat made him her with a sullen face.


We'll only be gone for a day or two, but still the necessities have to be brought. My backbag has been held, the sword has been attached, everything is complete.


"That's a magic scroll!?" The noise from Harzem is messing up again. She's an enthusiastic witch. It's better that he has a higher ability to open portals than a mouth that speaks more.


He touched the magic scroll in disbelief.


"Where are you from?" eyes shine.


"Yeah...." I took a breath, when I was leaving I was not calm because of Harzem, but I answered, "This is the payment."


Before he asked any more questions, I ordered him.


"Retreat." His body quickly retreated and moved away.


I tore through the magic scroll, and slowly disappeared, before disappearing completely, Tanka shouted not to forget her order.


I'm really not used to using this. Although the effect on me is only a little, but the dizzy head that stings it sucks. After I calmed down, I looked ahead. What this towering thing is my beloved Mount of Beads.


"Wait here." I gave the order to Levian who had just wiped his lips from vomiting.


He nodded weakly.


The contents of Berk mountain have always been able to amaze me. Come on, this is the richest place in Xellim, if they find out, there must be many of them who want to take it. Even the small preparations that I asked Marquis Kingston to take care of would be extraordinary talks in the Empire.


The talk of nobles is always full of judgment and easy to guess.


I inserted the Mana stone for the Marquis Kingston, and took all my gold coins, some other Mana stones I also took because it seemed like we would need it later. When it was over, I didn't bring the bag, but I left it there and went out to see Levian.


Levian stood guard in front of the entrance vigilantly. The ogre incident used to make us unable to consider this trivial.


"Come, we're hunting." I invited Levian to meet the look of Tanka.


Tanka always had something expensive to sell and use. His request is always valuable.


**


On his first list, he asked for siren scales.


Tanka said that Sirens live in groups in the southern part of the dark forest. Sirens have hypnotic chants, capable of tricking someone into following him and into his trap.


Then, the sirens would eat their flesh in order for them to gain strength and longevity from it. On the other hand, humans I mean, even Sirens are hunted and their flesh is to be eaten. There are stories that say that with siren meat, then in addition to longevity and youth, you will be more beautiful.


Simply put, both sides of this both eat meat to stay young. However, humans have long been unable to hunt Sirens, because they are too dangerous and they are difficult to find. The good news is, they're here.


"Have you seen Sirens, even once?


"No. But they're such a bad thing."


That's what Tanka said. Sirens are terrible. Having long hair that was like a shrub, red nails that were like blood froze.


"Mr Akion, I've only ever read it. Maybe if we catch it and sell it, it's a big price." Levian who ran beside me had become a slave to money. He was polite without forcing me.


I thought about his words, it's true, the siren that the move will make a lot of money.


I saw a Siren sitting on a stone, his face looking the other way, I could not see it completely. Her red nails were gently brushing her hair.


Crews!


Levian accidentally stepped on the wooden branch, instantly his expression turned to guilt. When I came back to see that Siren, my heart was pounding.


Isn't this great?


How could?


How could he exist like that?


"Mr Akion, isn't that siren? She's different from what Tanka explained."


Tanka, you've tricked me! Siren has a very beautiful face, the skin looks very smooth, well-groomed nails and eyes are green.


"Who are you?"


I who was caught wet peeked it out with an unpleasant face.


"Man!" He shouted, and jumped off the rock.


"Wait a minute, I don't mean anything bad to you."


At that moment Levian looked at me unexpectedly. Why I softened. But the siren left me in the water.


On the rock he was sitting on earlier, two of his scales were left behind. It's a pretty green color, but the scales in my hand are very lacking. Do I have to dive? I got rid of the idea immediately.


I waited for him for hours, but even Siren's figure had yet to surface. They must have been watching me and hiding.


I turned around, "Let's go."


"But Mr. Akion we haven't been able to get the siren scales."


"There's nothing we get if we just wait here."


"You'll just split this river, and make the water dry."


I don't like that idea. I kept passing by without responding. After all, they are sentient beings, if I can I want to obtain Siren scales in a peaceful manner.


I hope they'll come out and not cause any trouble. It's sad that I have to hurt beautiful creatures like them.


There were no other distractions as we collected materials for Tanka. I just stayed to go to his house and take his necessities. Yeah, when he followed me he didn't bring anything.


I took the picture he had drawn. To be honest he was not at all talented in drawing. It's so ugly, it's shapeless, I don't know what he'd draw if he didn't write down a little explanation.


How could he describe a giant tree like an octopus?


At that point I accepted that no living being was perfect.


Because the map that Tanka drew was so ugly, it took us three hours just to find her house which was very easy to find. I will protest him because he often gives me wrong information.


"Mr Akion, isn't that his home?"


Levian pointed towards the dark tight trees, behind which was the roof of the house and a little light. I looked around, and found a very large tree as Tanka said.


"It looks so."


Naturally we both walked there, finding Tanka's house made us relieved.


"Isn't this amazing, Mr Akion?"


I heard that this forest only has a dark color, but Tanka's house is different.


"She likes to be the center of attention." I looked at the house big enough for that little earth fairy. A warm house. And he blatantly wants to say that this is where he lives to anyone. So it's only natural that Ogre can catch him.


Then it was the sight in front of him that amazed me greatly. I should have realized it from the beginning. Why am I so stupid. I'm gonna ask Tanka for an explanation on all this.
