Iron
It's a common metal in this world used to make cheap utensils and agricultural tools ,also used in a lot of constructions but never to make weapons, magic metals and other stronger steels were much more ideal for a weapon than iron which has low carbon content resulting in poor strength, and its mana conductivity was almost non existent, which was why it was an undesirable ore for weapons
" {So why ?} "
Chris asked himself as he cautiously looked at the sword
" Truly strange ..{However what I must do has not change}"
He carefully approached the table to get the golden scabbard ready to get back of he spotted any movement from the mysterious cursed sword that was now emitting a ghastly aura now that it unsheathed from it's iron blade
{The seal must've been broken but atleast it didn't release that ghastly aura in its sheath when I carried it}
He made a quick move and surprisingly got the golden scabbard without a hitch ,now
" Now what? "{ I can't use divinity so I can't recklessly grab it } " Arrg "
***
Mt Illina at the insides of Illina's dungeon, a person in a beautiful white robe that covered his/her face walked in and stopped infront of the dungeon
" Oh dear "
The person sounded rather annoyed , looking at the door she/he could tell that something was wrong
" After all that effort to hide that damn relic here ,well I guess the seal weakening must've mutated this dungeon, (sighs){ I shouldn't have made the blunder of getting the dates wrong } Let's just hope the damn relic is still there , I'll have to enhance the seal even better than father did 10 years ago ."
With that the person in the white robe entered the dungeon but
" Huh? "
But after looking here and there he failed to find the relic that he was looking for
Thud
Dropping on his/her knees the robed person grabbed his/her hair with clear panick, his/her thoughts began to think of all the dark consequences this could lead to
{ Fucking goblin excrements!! How did this !! why tf? }" This doesn't makes sense "{ The dungeon's treasure wasn't taken (didn't notice that a 100 coins were missing from the whole chest of them) ,the core was destroyed too! }why would anyone take a cheap looking iron sword with a stone scabbard used for decoration? "
The person in robes began to think of all the possibilities from the records he/she was given by his/her ancestors and parents, finally after arriving at some conclusions he/she
" (took a deep breath) { There are only 2 possibilities, one a demon extremist found out about it and retrieved it; two, the seal weakened enough for the sealed evil to deceive the idiot who came in and conquered the dungeon} How troublesome ".
After arriving to the conclusion the robed person quickly retreated back outside and started her/his search for the dungeon's conqueror
***
Back at Hephta's forge
2 men were looking at the mysterious sword that was radiating a very malicious aura on it's blade ,the older blonde haired man Glavis was there with his tong and carefully held the cursed sword up and sheathed it inside the golden scabbard held by Chris who also used a tong to hold the scabbard on place not knowing that the scabbard's sealing power was already weakened
Glavis :" Almost there "
Chlick
Glavis :" Done hooo "( exhales )
Chris :" (Sighs in relief) A relief "
Glavis looked at the young adventurer who wiped his sweat off and gave an advice to get this off of his hand as soon as he could before handing him back his sword that he resharpened
Glavis :" Go easy on it this time and try not to fight monsters a whole rank above you from now on got that? (he had a stern tone while saying that) "
" I'm not crazy , I won't do that unless there is no choice,now what about the prosthetic? (he asked as he took his sword back) "
Glavis showed him a confident smile and told him to follow him upstairs to the weapons ,armors, explosives and prosthetics on display ,he guided the young man to the corner of the prosthetics display and stopped at a display box that contained a steel prosthetic that looked sturdy and was clearly made out of
" Its a high grade magi-steel product "
Chris stated looking at the sleek sturdy looked dark grey metal arm
Glavis also proudly replied with a smile that contained his pride
" One of my best work, has a missile function and a magic cannon loaded with 3 shots that are rechargeable with mana , it's strength level can be adjusted up till the strength of the average Epic rank adventurers or royal knights ,and the alloy for its body is the signature alloy founded by our family "
" I see no wond- Wait what? "
Chris gave the blacksmith an astonished look before a warm smile formed on his face
" So... I'm a VIP level customer now? Even though I'm a Rev? "
" On my shop a customer is a customer, they are all important clients especially if they are my regulars ,it won't be cheap though "
The blonde blacksmith declared before the young adventurer who nervously asked
" How much? "
" 50 gold with the surgery included "
" ah!( felt his soul sting) No ...no discount?? "
Glavis's smile suddenly turned a bit darker ,Chris who wanted to negotiate the price couldn't help but stop his attempt seeing that and reluctantly stated
" Fine!! I'll pay "
Glavis happily laughed
" Ahahahaha Good choice kid good choice, (looks at Chris's left arm or what remains of it and asked) I'll need permission to completely cut your left armour from your shoulder now "
" The surgery? "( anxiety and apprehension was visible on his face )
" It will take 8 hours ,so rest for tonight and come tomorrow at 9 am , it's early nighttime so go and give your report to the guild now "
With that Chris bid the blacksmith his farewell and went towards his home first and placed the cursed sword in his wardrobe and locked in there for now ,he also poured some holy water that he bought from the local church and smeared his wardrobe with it ,he then took a bath and washed up, complained inwardly about the damn cock's useless nightly crowing ,ate dinner and got dressed and headed out to the guild to give his report at around 7pm
On his way out he really had to give a long explanation to his fellow neighbours about how he lost his arm on his last quest, big John and Mrs Barny were especially worried for the young adventurer
With that he made his way to town , the guards who recognised the infamous adventurer who was a rev gave Chris a rather mocking gaze, only one out of dozens pitied him it seemed however the young man didn't mind and simply entered town after showing them his adventurer ID as usual
He made it to the guild and went to the receptionist, he did not even want to spare a look to the other adventurers who already began to mock him ,pitied him like an injured animal or looked down on him ,their words already soured his mood even more than it already was
Vivian, the young brown haired receptionist was busy sorting out quest reports on her desk so she didn't immediately see the young man before he stated that he wanted to make a report
" I'm here to make a report "
" hmm?(looked at the adventures and widened her eyes for a moment) Mr Chris? What happened to your arm? "
" Oh this? A friggin ice wraith that was also an anomaly froze it ,the damn boss monster attacked me outside the bossroom, can you believe it ,my frozen arm broke into pieces when it tossed me in the fucking room however for some reason it didn't kill me so I came back alive, also I destroyed Illina's dungeon as it had became an irregular dungeon ,now will you please write that down?
