“Oh, it really is a fine sword, but it’s still not enough. As it stands, it can’t yet be called a ‘Legendary Weapon.’”
The Dwarf saw her as a powerful merchant capable of procuring “rare materials” and sent her a cooperation request.
Su Yao gladly agreed, handing over “the best sword in the village” to the Dwarf’s hands.
Unfortunately, a “pseudo item” is still just a pseudo item. This sword could only be considered a “Sword in the Stone” and could not be called “Excalibur.”
“If we use this sword combined with the ‘Sword Blank’ from that treasure chest, along with the Dragon Scale and Orichalcum I have, we can indeed forge a ‘Holy Sword.’”
Impressive—no wonder this Legendary Dwarf Adventurer spent his life chasing his dreams.
The Dragon Scale and Orichalcum were materials Su Yao hadn’t even dared to imagine.
If the fifteen thousand DP spent on the “Pseudo Holy Sword” and “Demonic Sword Blank” could incorporate these materials, she would have gained an incredible fortune for nothing.
That’s right, this deal was a huge profit for her! Uzo only wanted to forge a “Holy Sword,” not keep it for himself.
The Dwarves have their own kind of romance: a “Legendary Weapon” should choose its owner, not be seized by force.
Therefore, Su Yao explained her plan to Uzo and brought him before the Elemental Spirit.
Uzo was slightly surprised upon seeing the Elemental Spirit. Although he didn’t understand why, it seemed the Elemental Spirit held a very high status in this world.
He agreed to place the “Holy Sword” into this lake for safekeeping. When the right person appears, the sword will manifest before them.
Now Su Yao wouldn’t have to spend another hundred thousand DP later just to buy a real Holy Sword to put in the lake.
Calling this an unbelievable bargain wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Still, for aesthetics, they’d place a “Sword in the Stone” in the “Boss Room.”
No need to complicate things—set a mechanism to insert the “Pseudo Holy Sword,” and the trigger to release it would be that anyone above level fifty approaches the sword.
Perfect!
“By the way, Miss Su Yao, can you get me the flame of the ‘Phoenix’? Of course, if possible, I’d also like its eggshell and blood.”
As expected, getting a “Holy Sword” for free wasn’t that easy. The “Phoenix” he mentioned must be the legendary bird, right?
Wow, so expensive—five hundred thousand DP. It seems most legendary monsters go for that price.
“I can get it, but you’ll have to wait a few months. Also, can you tell me what you want to do with these materials?”
If she postponed the “mine” construction a bit, she could summon the 【Phoenix】 in about a month.
But for now, magical ore was more important. The large brick kiln was almost complete, and the main sewer pipes to meet the town’s drainage needs were also laid.
The “Dungeon Inn” and “Adventurers’ Guild of Labyrinth Town” were expected to be completed and start operating within a month.
Without “Fire Crystal Stone” and “Water Source Stone,” things would be difficult. So summoning the 【Phoenix】 would have to wait.
“Just a few months? I’ve been waiting almost a hundred years.”
“The Phoenix’s flame can be used to smelt Orichalcum. The eggshell and blood are for forging the sword’s scabbard. A scabbard infused with these materials not only protects the blade itself but can also heal the owner’s injuries when necessary.”
“Avalon?”
Hearing the scabbard’s function, Su Yao instinctively whispered a name.
Unfortunately, this world probably had no “King Arthur” legend; the Dwarf only sighed and said it was a good name.
Well, whoever obtains the sword can convince him to rename it later, right?
With the Holy Sword matter settled, “Mr. Uzo, any other requests?”
“Yes, yes. Forging the ‘Sewing Tools’ you need won’t be difficult. Just replace the metal parts with a stronger ‘Blue Steel.’ But I’ll have to return to my workshop first to forge this metal.”
“Blue Steel”—a metal unknown in both her original world and this one. As expected of Dwarves, when it comes to metals, you can always count on them.
Uzo meant he would leave for a while. Well, there was nothing here yet, so she understood.
Wait a minute? What if she could persuade Uzo to move his workshop here?
“So, I want to buy a large amount of ‘Baijiu’ from you—enough to last me a week!”
Yes! That’s it! Just as she was wondering how to convince him to move his workshop here, this plan was handed to her on a silver platter!
“That’s possible, but I have even better ‘alcohol’ here. Mr. Uzo, would you be interested?”
“Gulp”
The Dwarf swallowed nervously and trembled as he asked, “Better alcohol?”
“Yes, a spirit called ‘Vodka.’ Unfortunately, it’s very difficult to transport and can only be brewed with a certain material found in this dungeon…”
“Gulp”
He swallowed again. This guy was completely hooked.
“All right, Mr. Uzo, you leave here first. I’ll send someone to deliver the ‘Vodka’ and a large amount of ‘Baijiu’ to the inn later. I’ll charge you cost price for the alcohol, but you’ll have to figure out the transportation.”
“No problem, no problem. I’ll finish forging the ‘Sewing Tools’ quickly and return.”
The plump Dwarf, panting, teleported from the dungeon’s second floor back down to the safe zone in the main hall.
A race obsessed with alcohol was truly no joke. Just now, he looked like he was imagining the most stunning beauty in the world in his mind.
What an easy guy to deal with! Of course, except for that initial contest.
Originally, she only wanted to help Vainet make a few sets of Sewing Tools. Now it seemed she might even gain a “Dwarven Workshop” and eventually get a real “Excalibur”!
That said, for now, it was time to focus on the task at hand.
“Spend 100 DP to purchase [Ordinary Treasure Chest—Alcoholic Beverages]?”
……
“Yo, Rosa, it’s really you. I thought you’d gone to rest.”
“Thanks to some dumb Dwarf, I have to work three days straight just to avoid wage deduction.”
Although the twin sisters in charge of the inn didn’t require her to make up for the lost hours, she volunteered to work overtime just to ease her conscience.
“Don’t be so cold. After all, we were adventuring partners once. Should I plead with your boss for you?”
“No need. Mr. Uzo, just take my order quickly.”
When they first met, Rosa sensed the magic power within that blonde girl’s body and thought she was a great mage. She never expected her swordsmanship to be so good.
If she could beat that Dwarf, her strength had at least reached the “Hero” tier.
According to the Elf clan’s research, most creatures in this world have certain limits. Of course, only some within their ranks knew this.
The “Elven Queens” through the ages were able to surpass these limits and become “Legendary” beings.
Unfortunately, the newly crowned Queen was forced to flee the kingdom before receiving the “World Tree’s Blessing” due to a sudden Rebellion.
Sigh, the road ahead is tough. For now, it’s better to focus on working honestly and saving money…
