Chapter 17 17. The value of ‘security’

Before Lan En could deal with his mentor, Mentos's main task was to assist his master's growth and provide simulation computing support for the resistance plan.

After Bordon died in Lan En's hands, it did not relax, but immediately switched to a new operating logic.

Plan for Lan En's future.

That's why it urged its master to immediately invest in training to make up for its own shortcomings.

But what it didn't expect was that Lane did better than it planned.

"The lake area where Oriden is located is mainly inhabited by monsters such as water ghosts and swamp witches. The danger is completely acceptable, and it is perfect as a teaching material for training techniques."

"And there is no need to pay for this kind of teaching material. Instead, the village will pay you for it. Let a village that has not been entrusted with it start a large-scale demon hunting mission, sir. There is no doubt that your business thinking is already that of a demon hunter.

An industry pioneer in the field.”

Mentos admired it heartily.

What does it mean for a first-class businessman to create demand? (Look back

According to Bordon, and his travels over the past month, the daily life of a demon hunter is really about relying on luck.

"What? Do you think there is something wrong with my craftsmanship?"

This kind of thing makes no sense, but it happens so often here that it has become a common phenomenon.

His education and life in the past ten years made him habitually want to express his gratitude to those who helped him, or even simply smile and nod.

He laughed boldly and extended his hand to invite.

"Come on, you're welcome. Let's see what I have here."

"Are you the witcher who hunts monsters at a discount? The news has spread throughout the village."

I spent the whole day traveling from one village to the next, hoping to meet someone and work together.

As he expected, this made old Allen pay more attention to it.

"Meritelli~ This kind of heirloom-level sword!"

Lan En was not in a good mood, and both the blacksmith and old Allen could clearly see it.

But it has only been an hour since Lan En arrived in Oriden, and the village is already in chaos, trying to dig out all the wealth to supply this monster hunting commission.

The employer in the village didn't want to pay the final payment after they finished the work, so they simply found a group of fanatic believers in the eternal fire. Those people held swords, hammers, and axes, and shouted that they wanted to purify mutants.

Bordon and Lan En could only turn around and run away.

"Yes! There is a blacksmith! It's at the very edge of the village. The dry ground is specially reserved for the blacksmith. I don't know if you can accept his craftsmanship."

Come on, Lan En feels that during this period of time, apart from the work that requires drawing swords, he will not be able to do any physical work.

It is dull and the shape is chaotic. Whether it is quenching or forging, there are problems. The Willen Long Sword is probably his highest level.

".never mind."

--Safety!

This is so safe!

The village was made up of high and low planks and was messy. But it was not big after all. Lan En soon found the village elder who was pulling hay.

"Are you looking for a blacksmith?"

As he spoke, Old Allen led Lan En away.

Can mutants earn their money in a legitimate way?

It seems that I can't believe that someone would actually fight with a sword of this level instead of collecting it and passing it down to his family.

The sweat on the strong man's body was mixed with oil, and even turned into a reflective oil film on his body.

Then amid a clanging sound, they came to a stove and a strong man.

Drive away the mutants, or simply kill them, and keep the money. Everyone has to give a thumbs up and say "well done"!

Lan En frowned, his tone cold and impatient.

Once, Lan En followed Bordong to clear out a ghoul nest in a farmland.

The blacksmith exclaimed and looked at the young man in disbelief.

Most of them are farm tools, sickles, harpoons, and occasionally a few blanks of Willen's sword.

It is unimaginable that before the arrival of the young man, the last time Auriden asked a witcher to deal with monsters was two generations ago.

During those days, Bordon's food standards even dropped to the same level as his own apprentices.

But before he could make a move, his reason stopped him.

As time goes by, the tavern owner will call the sheriff without hesitation, saying that there are mutants with ulterior motives here.

The big man smiled a little sheepishly.

"They don't like me, just because I am tied to their future income, so they have to like me. So I have to show an attitude of impatient, so that they will be more convinced that their income will skyrocket in the future. Because of this It fits their worldview."

"Is this the so-called 'If you want to help the poor, you can't talk to them properly'?" Mentos pulled out this sentence from the corner of Lan En's memory.

Seeing how confident he was, Lan En became a little curious. So he randomly picked up some of his works in this simple blacksmith workshop and looked at them.

Lan En walked out of the elder's house and led the two horses he had placed outside the village to an abandoned wooden shed in the village.

But now, Lan En has created a need for hunting monsters in this village and tied this need to himself.

Lan En also nodded with emotion.

Whether in the eyes of Mentos or Lan En, a large part of the current predicament comes from the social atmosphere in which racial hatred is prevalent.

"Everyone likes money, Mentos." The young man emphasized again.

"And, most importantly, we have safe and stable housing and food!"

Whether the money in your hands is clean or not is directly related to your race.

"That's true. I thought my skills were ranked among the best in Willen, haha."

Even if a witcher stays in a tavern for which money is required, staying for a day or two can still be considered a mission.

Lan En didn't say much and slowly drew out the Bear School steel sword behind him.

"I used to think that this sentence was pure fart, an excuse for the rude managers to prevaricate. But now, in order to ensure that neither the villagers nor I have the chance to harm each other, I must practice this sentence. It's really bullshit!

"

The village elder scratched his neck, and there was obviously a lot of black between his nails.

"The blade of the sword will wear out, and the armor needs to be repaired. I don't know how many monsters I have to kill here. You have to arrange a place for me to repair my equipment."

So even if he is willing to spend money, it is still unclear whether he can find a safe place where Lan En can complete his own supplements and enhancements with peace of mind.

The original generous laughter disappeared.

Whatever the village elders eat, let’s give it to the witcher today!

You want to embarrass the witcher? I think you want to embarrass us, Auriden!

The blacksmith was a little unhappy because of this, but he still had some confidence in his craftsmanship.

The villagers on the road no longer looked at him with disdain like the plague, but instead were warm and friendly.

Lan En was noncommittal.

And in today's Auriden?

Soon, Lan En, who was still looking forward to it, put down the sample in his hand.

Lan En, expressionless, turned and left.

Lan En asked the villagers where old Allen was, then turned and left.

Mentos's voice sounded happier than most of the time.

Although I haven’t handled many good swords, take a look at the works here.

As soon as the clear sword blade appeared, the blacksmith's unhappy frown turned into a surprised stare.

Immediately, he simply admitted that he was not qualified to touch this sword at this level.

They also made arrangements to help him unload the bag of Bear School armor that he couldn't put on for the time being and move it into the house.

Then he said that it would be okay if it was repaired.

But if there is structural damage, then it is estimated that only the capital city of Velen, Gos Velen, or the Crow's Nest where the knight is located, may have a skilled blacksmith master.
