Price of Management

- Aaaah!

“Vee, move! ”

The confused Rick leaps up. Suddenly, the hands of the dirt leap over his head and grab onto his right shoulder.

“Hehe!”

Then Woundee makes ten spears of water and blows them away. With his right shoulder in Earth Hand, Rick was unable to dodge or wield his sword.

“These things!”

Surprisingly, Rick places the sword in his right hand. He holds it in his left hand and swings it so fast it doesn't look like a storm.

Papa Papa Pot!

The spears of the water have all been cut.

Once on the ground, Rick approaches me again.

“Earth Wall! Trap!”

The wall of dirt blocks and sets a five-meter pit trap beneath his feet.

Surprisingly, however, Rick was so thin that he slipped past the collapsing trap just by waiting for his feet. The trap doesn't collapse as if the feather had passed.

What, what is that?

After a quick jump over the dirt wall, Rick is ready to give me a hard time.

“Nome, throw me! ”

I screamed out of nowhere.

- Yeah!

But Noonum reads my thoughts and swoops at me with his hands.

“What is that?! ”

Rick looks at me as I fly away surprised.

“Woundee, take me in! ”

-... Yes!

Woundee makes a puddle of water and accepts me.

Boom!

I landed safely on the ground, submerged in a puddle of water created by Wounded. Then Woundee recovered all the moisture my clothes had sucked.

Norm and Woundee stood by my side.

Rick, who missed me, was devastated, and the poison of Knowledge began like oil on fire.

- What are you looking at, idiot? Come at me again, you savage.

- Hey, barbarian!

- It must feel good to be mad at Daddy for being mad at that little girl, you idiot.

- Oh, you idiot!

Rick, who was a little nervous,

“Oh, shit! I'm not doing it! ”

You scold Long Sword as he throws it to the ground.

“Hahahaha!”

Father burst into laughter that the world was about to die, and Duke Meutt chuckled his tongue and said, "Pathetic fellow."

In fact, the solemn tongue of Noonum was just repeating what I had thought in my mind. Of course, we kind-hearted spirits can't say such mean things, can they?

“I will never fight a spirit again. ”

Rick shakes his head.

I thought I'd given Rick too much trauma, but what do you think? Anyway, I won. Uh-huh.

* * *

There was a lot going on.

By marrying Leyra, Arthur was able to escape the generals.

Even though Arthur was so good to Leyra, she seemed happy. He was shy and trying to take care of Arthur.

It's amazing. She was a real wife named Rey, which was impossible to compare to her former life.

I knew there was a match. I was happy to see her happy, too.

The only thing I regret is my son, who was ruined in my past life... I was heartbroken when I thought of him who had never been born.

Just as Leyra, who was not a good wife, had changed, it hurt me to think that she might have changed as I did. But he's still my son.

But I decided to let it go. Yes, my son. Live well under other good parents. Even if you don't exist forever, I'll remember you forever.

Among the guests of the wedding, Duke Krail Meutt was by far the subject of conversation.

Duke Meutt, who came alone with Rick to celebrate the wedding, delighted our family.

Knowing that Brother Rick is Duke Meutt's favorite, the status of our Kunt family has been greatly enhanced.

Duke Meutt gave his father a great gift before he left.

My father had the courage to ask Duke Meutt.

“I know this is an excuse, but I can't bear it, so I urge you. Duke, will you teach me a lesson? ”

Originally, it was rude to apply for a duel with a master.

Expert and the Master were completely different.

Even a knight with a Master's Landing in his nostrils at the top of his Excellency, he is no match for the Master. The Master is aware of all misconceptions of swordsmanship.

So the appeal itself was just a hassle for the master.

Fortunately, Duke Meutt recognized his father's sincerity.

“Good.”

And so began the duel.

Pot...

It ended so freshly.

Duke Meutt just put out his sword, just like his fierce father, who was about to charge, put his own neck to the edge of it.

“Uh, how... … could this be? ”

I felt the cold tip of Mythril Long Sword touching my neck, and my father asked. He was more astonished than devastated.

“Examine the opponent. Every movement of the muscles, the psychology in the eyes, the sound of breath, the angle of the sword, the shape and feel of a flaring error, living. The user looks at everything and feels and empathizes with the target. The user then knows what the target is thinking and how it moves. ”

That's a complete misconception of swordsmanship.

There is no better or worse sword. Everything is judged by the man with the sword.

Detecting everything and responding appropriately to it was a true misconception to win 10,000 battles.

A 92-year-old old merchant looking into the mind of his opponent. Ahem!

“Go, thank you! Thank you!”

He was impressed and greeted. Duke Meutt nods with a joyful smile.

This led my father to know the direction of the sword he needed to go.

Whether he was inspired by that father or not, Rick's eyes were filled with determination. Perhaps when I get back, Rick will be more obsessed with practicing swordsmanship than usual.

I feel better, too, with the expectation that maybe Rick will be stronger than before.

Duke Meutt and his brother Rick leave, and the Duke of Kunt is silent again.

Now, let's get to work, shall we?

I went to the Caroc Armory.

Ground!

“I told you to hold it steady! ”

“Can't you go a little harder?! ”

In a wide collaborative workshop, ten common craftsmen gave orders to 30 pottery workers. The apprentices who were continually angry and learning seemed to be very nervous and unable to feel fatigue.

I felt good as an owner because I worked hard to produce weapons. Well, well, you're working hard to call me. Cheer up, laborers.

…… so it's like I'm the vice president, but my Carrock armory was a win-win system for everyone.

By becoming an apprentice, you can get a job and learn expertise.

If you work hard and become a common artisan, your salary will increase and you can work more efficiently with institutions under your command.

Once skilled craftsmen are refined and polished, they will be able to use special crafting orders to create luxury goods that are as good as they were before, rather than repeating their mass-produced workmanship.

The best skilled artisans, like Goose inspiration, are given the authority to lead all artisans and create only what they want, not any orders, in their personal workshops.

Even when the hammer is placed at an old age, it can be appointed as a quality inspector to manage the quality of the stage produced.

It was a Carrock staging station where you could try and work your whole life if you wanted to.

I went to Goose's personal workshop.

Land!

I still see Goose, who boasts enormous muscles and hammers. Next to him is a bottle of half-drunk healing potion. Oh, is healing potion a drink?

It seems that the amount of healing potions you take has also increased since you became the best craftsman and received a high salary. Don't you think Goose is about 200 years old?

“Oops, Baron! ”

The old Gus who found me jumped up and said hello.

“Goose, I'm here to ask you a favor. ”

“A favor? Tell me anything.”

“It's for our Caroc armory. I'm going to make the best sword on the continent. ”

The words "greatest sword on the continent" changed Goose's eyes.

“Oh, that's what stimulates my craftsmanship. Very well! But do you know what the continent's greatest sword is? ”

I laughed.

“That's the best sword for the man who wields it. ”

“You are the baron. ”

Yes, it is.

Just as there is no best sword, there is no best sword.

The strongest sword can be, but the best one is the best one to use. If there are 100 swords, there are 100 best swords.

“The black turns. Even misrels, not steel, are increasingly changing over time. ”

I nodded.

“Yes, I know. Depending on the shape of the exam's hand, the handle becomes more and more comfortable to hold, and depending on how the sword is wielded, the shape of the exam becomes finer. ”

I didn't just say growing a sword didn't mean anything by it.

That's why knights must take good care of their swords. To keep the only sword in his hand as long as possible.

“Indeed, you're a member of the Knight family. That's it. You have to know the nuances so you can be the best craftsman. ”

“Like old Goose? ”

“Haha!”

“Ah-ha-ha!”

We laughed because we were excited.

Goose's inspiration continues.

“So if you want to make the best sword, you either have to come in person with the sword, or you have to consult the sword he used. We can make a universal sword that everyone can use without, but that's not the best one. ”

“Who am I? You don't think I'd have thought of that? ”

I summoned gnome.

- Did you call him?

“Remember that sword I showed you before? ”

Misrell?

“Yes, yes, that. Can you make me a stone sword that looks exactly like that sword? ”

“Okay, okay. ”

Gnome pulls a single rock out of the ground and starts carving it into swords.

The sword is complete in two minutes.

The sword, or sword shaped rock, is exactly the same as Duke Meutt's Misrill Long Sword.

“Now, this is a fully ripe sword in the hands of Duke Krail Meutt. Long sod made of real misrels. ”

“Oh! You must be the baron to think of this as a spirit! Yes, with this you can make the best swords. ”

“The ultimate sword for Duke Meutt? ”

“Of course! The baron himself! ”

“Hahahaha!”

They praise each other and have a pleasant conversation.

“There are enough misreels to make a long sword. The price is 15,000 Redinas, based on both the cost price of the misrel and my efforts and the product value of the sword. ”

15,000 Radinaires!

Perhaps Misrill costs about 4,000 Redinas, and the remaining 11,000 Redinas will be the price for Goose's inspiration skills and efforts. Pride was a great goose inspiration.

“Oh, I'm sorry, but that's just a gift. ”

“Hmm, that's a shame. You made the best sword on the continent and didn't get paid for it. ”

“Don't say that. You'll get something far more important than money. Trust me, Goose. If this succeeds, Goose's inspiration will make Caroc Armory the best armory on the continent. ”

“Oh, you say that and I get excited. Great! It will take two months to complete. ”

“Yes, I'll take care of it. ”

This is why I borrowed Duke Meutt's sword for five minutes.

You'll soon find out how much it was worth.
