And the next holiday, me and Garnett decided to head over to the blacksmith that Travis introduced us to on schedule.

The way to get around is a horse borrowed in Green Hollow.

If I don't prolong my errands over there, it's a long way from leaving early in the morning and returning soon after sunset.

"There are several different ways to run a horse. Normally, I don't have five minutes to walk. If you want to travel long distances, it's just right to let them do it as fast as a human rush."

"Well, so do humans, and wolves. They say the only thing that runs at all costs is the last big stuffing they eat on their prey."

Chat with Garnett about horses in his spare time as he descends a well-maintained mountain path.

Garnett is only a knight in command, and he knows a lot more about horses than I do.

Besides, I don't get tired of watching that kind of fun face when I'm talking about this.

"If you're traveling like it takes days, you're going to get extra fatigued because there's plenty of water and food. Except if we're gonna swap horses on the way, otherwise we're gonna have to pinch the break."

"But this time it won't take more than half a day one way, so there's no problem."

"Let me walk on my feet for about two hours, give me a half hour break and another two hours...... so you arrive"

Four-and-a-half hours each way, round-trip travel time is about nine hours.

I plan to leave early in the morning and go home around sunset, so I'll be counting on being able to stay in the other city for a few hours.

If this were a trip, it wouldn't be enough, but the purpose of this meeting is with a blacksmith.

Not only do they want to use it for the base of swords they make for Garnett, but if they can, they want to buy a bunch of them on a regular basis to increase their high quality inventory.

So far, the operation of the White Wolf store is stable and good, but if we stick to the status quo, we don't know how long that stability will last either.

Just as we have begun to deal with new products such as noir magic items and Erica's potions, we should also need to incorporate new elements into the weaponry, which is the main commodity of the present situation.

- That's how you pass a four-and-a-half hour outbound journey to Tribrook City, your destination.

"It's just the City. It's busier than Green Hollow."

"It's completely rural compared to Wang Du, though. You've been to the King's Capital?

"No, not once. What an A-ranked bunch of adventurers crotching around the country."

Leave the horse with a specialist contractor and let him rest until his return time.

And we walked down the main street of Tribrook City and went for the blacksmith that Travis introduced us to.

"When the matter of Demon King Castle is over, why don't you take a break from the shop and come to Wang Du? My parents' mansion is there, so I don't have any trouble sleeping."

"That's the Knights Commander's mansion. I don't care what you think. It's too upscale for me.

Until I got to my destination, for some reason, I got excited about a different chat than the real deal.

Of course, the content is all there is, and we don't do anything to shout and scatter, but we lurk our voices so that we can only hear each other.

From the side, does it look like a rural adult and an urban boy are even talking to each other in private while walking shoulder to shoulder?

If I'm in a passers-by position, the opposite is the combination that bothers me about the relationship.

"I mean, isn't the Mansion in your own territory"

"It's in both. A very big knight's house is supposed to have its own mansion in its own territory and in the king's capital."

"Heh... that's kind of awesome"

"It's a pain in the ass and I can't help it. My family is obliged to spend at least a few months of the year in the King's Capital, so I used to be depressed every time I moved. If it's in the carriage, I'm bored and bored."

Garnett also speaks as a memorable story with a great gesture, but the content of the system itself was quite interesting.

Originally, the Knights were an army of forces that existed in a time of mass ambition.

They are obliged to maintain their old territories even after reunification and to contribute to the kingdom with their military and economic strength.

On the other hand, as Garnett spoke emotionally, the leading knight and his family are to live in the Wang capital for a period of time that is never too small.

Perhaps this combines a deeper sense of belonging to the kingdom with something like a hostage in case.

It would reduce the risk of insurgency if we began to think of the Wang capital as our second home, and it would be a powerful deterrent if the families of our fellow Knights were in the Wang capital.

"... hmm? The obligation to spend some time in Wang Du means that you will also return to Wang Du for some months"

"No, I'm not leaving. Simply put, 'Duty to move your home to the King's Capital'. Some knights put in long-term assignments all the time and don't lean on Wang Du."

"Heh... is it better to keep the family?"

"Conversely, you spent the whole year in the King's Capital, and some Knights were left to relatives to run the territory. Maybe his lord's job was a hassle."

While we were having such a chat that we couldn't do anything other than garnet, we even came close to the designated address.

"White Wolf's. I'm sure you remember the name of your destination properly."

"You bet. Tribrook Blacksmith Union... hey, you just got here."

The 'Tribrook Blacksmith Union' sign for the destination was grandly displayed in a large building facing the wide main street.

Exactly not as big as Spring Young Leaf Pavilion, but nearly several times larger than Greenhollow Town's Guildhouse.

"I don't feel like a blacksmith. That's a building. Either way, I'm staying at the inn."

"I guess it's just like a union office. You're not working here as a blacksmith."

In that sense, I guess it's a hunting union and a homogeneous organization when it comes to green hollows.

In the meantime, go inside the blacksmith union building and tell the receptionist what to do.

"Excuse me, I'm Luke from the White Wolf Forest, who's scheduled to meet with Mr. Alan."

"Wait a minute...... do you have a reference?

"Yes, this is an introduction from Mr. Travis of Black Sword Mountain"

After a clerical, tasteless, dry process and waiting for a meeting person to come near the reception, it caught my eye that a young man rushed from the back of the building.

A man a little younger than me, with a full smile on his face with traces of charcoal stains.

"Here you go! Mr. Travis has told me about you! In this talking room, please!

"Yeah..."

Meeting Person - Travel to the talking room as prompted by Alan's momentum in the blacksmith.

I just lowered my hips with Garnett on a quality sofa for visitors and Alan cuts out the conversation in a softening manner.

"So, just now... the thing I asked for..."

"Of course there is. A handicraft instead of a greeting."

I took the dagger out of my bag and handed it to Alan.

Alan pulled it out of his sheath in a tense manner and saw it seriously in his silver self.

"Ooh...... this is the misrill......! And, if you'll excuse me, what's the alloy ratio?!?

"Steel is 70%. Mithrills are 30%. It's the same ratio as the standard specifications we have for wholesale to the Golden Tooth Knights."

Previously, there was talk of building a sword with multiple patterns of ratios at the request of golden fangs and employing the one that best meets the demands of the field as a controlled gear.

The results were: "Performance balance is excellent for half alloys", "If used in combination with magic, the better the misrill ratio" and "However, the higher the misrill ratio, the higher the cost, so seven to three is the best if it is a mass production premise".

The dagger I gave Alan is a substitute [synthesized] for this one at the same ratio as the standard specifications for golden fangs.

"Wonderful brilliance...... it's so wonderful...... oh I can't believe there's a day coming when I can get the real thing of Mithril!

I decided to wait for Alan to regain his cool while Garnett hand-wrestled me next door to say, "What is this freak?"
