Chapter 26 The Dragon’s New Sword.

Arad stared at the dagger, ”Is it worth all of that?” He couldnʼt believe such a thing was worth all of that money.

Ginger smiled, swinging the dagger at an incredible speed. Swosh! Swosh! ”Itʼs worth more than you expect. This thing is amazing.”

”Can I give it a look?” Arad asked, and Ginger sheathed the dagger, ”No, this thing is dangerous to hold. And I already attuned to it.”

Aella looked at her, ”At least tell us what the daggerʼs abilities are.”

”Itʼs an s-rank magic weapon and causes bleeds to start. This effect is all I will tell you.” Ginger smiled, and Alcott laughed, ”The weapon is her secret weapon now. She wonʼt reveal it.”

”Forget about the dagger. Pick your weapons.” Delmear said, handing the longsword to Arad.

Arad took the sword and swung it around, ”It doesnʼt feel different,”

”I fixed the weld between the blade and the handle.” Delmear replied, ”I need to make stolen weapons worth nothing.”

”Is that how you make swords?” Arad looked at the pile of swords around him.

”Yeah, itʼs a dwarven method. Humans usually make the blade go all the way inside the hilt. Thatʼs bad.” Delmear grabbed one of the swords, ”Because I wonʼt be able to enchant the swords that way.”

Delmear showed a longsword to Arad. Directly on the cross guard, a large blue crystal sparkled. ”As you can see, I already enchanted this sword for a customer.”

There were two methods of enchanting a weapon, the magic crystal or the magic salt brining.

The magic crystal allows the blacksmith to enchant the weapon with spells, while the magic salt brining gives him the ability to change the properties of the metal.

”Your weapon is made with the magic salt brining. It should retain its edge for longer.”

Delmear pulled a small blue orb and placed it on the bladeʼs edge, ”See, those are its stats.”

**********

[Delmearʼs Longsword]

[Item Rank: E]

[Stats]

[Deal 1~8 slashing damage+ strength modifier]

[Can be wielded with two hands and deal 3~12 slashing damage+ strength modifier]

[Special abilities]

[Magically hardened: The blade retains its edge for twice as long as regular swords]

**********

”The modifier is half your stat. You can count your damage on your own.” Alcott explained.

^I have 13 strengths, so my modifier is six and a half?^

[Itʼs safer to assume your damage to be six. That way, you wonʼt be surprised by a monster staying alive.]

^The I deal 1~14 slashing damage with one hand and 3~18 with two hands.^

”How much is this sword?”

”Fifteen silver coins. I didnʼt count the magical enchantment.”

Alcott smiled, ”Will take it.”

Delmear stared at him, ”Youʼre paying for the young man? Fine, thirty silver coins.” He opened his palm.

”You skimpy dwarf. You just said itʼs fifteen silver coins.” Alcott screamed.

”The discount is for the young man, not you.” Delmear replied, ”But, just give me fifteen silver coins.”

As Alcott was paying Delmear, Aella said, ”There isnʼt a single good bow around here.”

Delmear stared at her, ”Of course, Iʼm a blacksmith, not a carpenter.” He sighed, ”I make metal weapons. Those bows I bought to resell.”

Ginger smiled, ”You canʼt deceive the eye of an elf,”

Alcott glared at his pouch, ”does any of you need a new weapon or armor?”

”Iʼm fine, but I will take a few lockpicks and spikes if he had.” Jack smiled, staring at a small bucket full of junk.

”I will take a small dagger,” Aella grabbed one of the daggers on the counter.

Alcott looked around, ”Do you have one of those one-handed crossbows with automatic reloading?”

Delmear stopped for a moment, ”I have one, but itʼs a bit pricy. Ten gold coins.”

”How much can it hold?”

”Ten bolts, and then you have to refill it again.” Delmear walked to the back and brought it, ”Two hundred kilogram draw weight, this tiny beauty pack a heavy punch.”

Alcott looked at the crossbow, ”How do I use it?”

”Strapped to your forearm and load it up with ten bolts. It will fire whenever you want it due to a magical enchantment.” Delmear explained and helped Alcott equip it.

After paying Delmear and making sure all the weapons are working as intended. Alcott finally disclosed the quest details.

”As you know, our bath work off a hot spring.” Alcott smiled, ”Well, that is a lie.”

Arad, Aella, and Jack froze, ”What do you mean?”

”We only have a regular cold spring.” Alcott smiled, ”To heat the water, I threw a few salamanders into the cave system below.”

”You did what?” Jack stepped forward, ”How did you even get the salamander past the guards?”

”I did have a skilled rogue at the time.”

Ginger spoke, ”Those salamanders are living in the cave and multiplying rapidly. We need to trip them down each year.” She smiled, ”Letʼs just hope they didnʼt give birth to a queen.”

[I just heard something important.]

”What did you mean by a queen?”

”Like ants, rarely a queen is born to the salamanders. She is massive and dangerous. People call them false dragons.” Ginger explained.

Alcott stepped, ”Donʼt worry. I killed one last year. Itʼs unlikely for another to have been born.” He explained, ”But in case, I want you to run away.”

[Salamanders are fire lizards. They look like a crocodile set on flames.]

”Arenʼt they fire monsters? Do you expect my magic to be useful?” Arad asked, looking at his staff.

Ginger stared at him, ”It is common for a sorcerer to face disadvantageous situations. You will have to think of a way to survive this encounter.”

Arad looked at his new sword, ”And this is why you bought me this longsword. Want me to fight at close range.”

”You should be fine against the salamanderʼs flame,” Alcott smiled.

[This man, be careful in the quest.]

”Should we head to the guild first?” Arad looked toward Aella, who was staring in the distance.

”No need for that. Letʼs head straight for the caves.” Alcott replied, shifting his backpack, ”I have all we need.”

The five of them headed back toward the bath, ”Is the cave entrance in the bath?” Jack asked, looking at the bathhouse.

”The entrance is inside the well in the backyard,” Alcott replied as they walked inside.

***

Standing before the well, Arad looked around and saw the old withered rope hanging from a pillar nearby. ”Donʼt tell me weʼre using that thing?”

Ginger smiled, ”Worry not. The rope can handle even the heavy Alcott.

Arad doubted that, ”Do you have another one,”

”No,” Alcott replied immediately as he went to grab the rope.

Aella curled behind Arad with a scared face, ”Iʼm with Arad. That thing doesnʼt look safe.”

Jack followed Alcott and looked at the rope, ”You donʼt have to worry. This rope can hold out.” He smiled, ”This thing is made from trollsʼ hair and is far stronger than any mundane rope.”

”Heʼs right,” Ginger took the rope from his hand, ”This is probably worth more than most adventurers can earn in a week.”

”Trolls are strong monsters. Gathering enough of their hair is a tall endeavour.” Jack explained, ”You wonʼt find anyone crazy enough to waste such resources on a rope.”

”Then why do those two have it?” Arad sighed, holding his face while looking at the ground.

Alcott approached him and whispered, ”I needed some solid rope to tie Ginger when I first caught her. She almost tore that thing apart.” He smiled, ”But she is stronger now. She could snap it easily.”

[Is his wife some S-rank monstrous vampire?]

^I bet we she kill us all except for Alcott. Letʼs make sure to never get on her bad side.^

Alcott dropped the rope into the well and leapt first, landing at the bottom with a splash. ”Cold!” He screamed, ”But I got it, I opened the door,” He sighed, ”You can jump one at a time!”

Ginger leapt behind him without using the rope. She gracefully glided on the wall to the bottom of the well.

”Bury me in the western graveyard if I died,” Jack smiled, gliding down on the rope.

”I will just throw your corpse in the forest,” Arad yelled behind him.

”Arad, Iʼm scared to jump.” Aella looked down with her hands shaking.

”Stop playing around and jump,” Arad sighed, ”I will leave you here if you donʼt.”

Aella hesitated. She couldnʼt look down at the endless darkness of the well.

”Fine, I will carry you on my back? Is that fine with you?” Arad sighed, wanting to get into the quest as quickly as possible.

Aella smiled, ”Are you sure?”

”Iʼm sure. Just hop up.” Arad sighed, turning around and giving her his back.

Aella climbed up, holding with her arms around his neck. Arad extended his hands and grabbed her butt, pushing her a bit up.

”Hey, where do you think youʼre touching?” Aella cried.

”Your butt. I need you to get up so you wonʼt fall.” He stared back at her. ”Do you have a problem?”

”No, with that, but...” She gasped.

”No buts, just butts.” He pushed her even higher, ”Tie your legs around my waist tightly. Also, donʼt squizz my neck so tightly.”

Aella did as he said, ”Fine, itʼs better than falling.”

”Be grateful youʼre not holding from the front,” Arad growled, approaching the well.
