Chapter 67
Zeguis bahamut’s workshop. (The first part)
『The Axeplant castle: King Room』
[….. Unsatisfied. I can’t make a convincing weapon recently…….]
I muttered while looking at the rod of Lily-jou-chan that I’m working on since yesterday.
[Also the muscle strength decrease compared to the past……。 That I should consider retirement]
Heigh-ho, I stand up from the seat and boil water to make coffee.
Instant and nice to have a tool smithery and furnace to boil the water while the King here, But Kazuha gaze is painful recently.
Even so, I smiled at the end and allowed, although it’s her good place…….。
70 years ago, I retired from being a swordsman and has started walking in a way as blacksmith craftsman.
At that time , I was called a《 Master Swordman 》already, thrown away all positions and honor, exile in the mountain and work hard to make weapons secretly.
And then four 『sacred of the illusion』 which came to be called《 four treasures 》later.
『Bow』, 『Harp』, 『Fan』, 『Claw』.
After taking 20 years, and have completed this, 『she』 appears.
One girl appears in the blacksmith hut that was in the heart of the mountains.
But, she was filled with ominous magical powers overflowing from her body.
She introduces her as『daughter of the demon king』
I was surprised
Why 『daughter of the demon king』in the hut and why in the heart of the mountains?
The girl says.
『I want a sword to be able to destroy humans that tormenting father.』
The rumor of the wind from『Hero army』, in that information the『Demon king army 』drive away to another place and drifted to this remote mountain.
I answer
『I can’t be able to cooperate with the demon that enemy of 《 Spirit tribe》, I descendants of 《 Dwarf tribe》destroyed by demon like you.』
The『Spirit army』defeated in the previous《Spirit war》.
During that time 《 Spirit tribe》also《 Dwarf tribe》,《 Elf tribe》and 《Goblin tribe》, there were whole tribes who support the world.
And then『Spirits army』 were defeated, the king of spirits was arrested and The dark age of 『Destruction others tribe』by a demon tribe comes after that.
Then today that several thousand years pa.s.sed, the rest tribe which succeeded in escaping only a few, and everyone lives hiding from demon tribe.
The girl says.
『You know the history of that completely. I ask you on the agreement. Master swordsman Zegius Bahamut.』
I answer
『Bring up the name that I abandoned far back in the past now….. 。From look greatly demon tribe not having another chance.』
I ignore the girl and going to enter the hut.
However, I’ve not a.s.sumed that the girl is good.
『I don’t say free charge. Let’s entrust it with my heart. You know, the demon tribe has two hearts on the right and left? I said that I offer you one. As for the heart of the daughter of the demon king? I’m sure there are people who buy very high price.』
Sure, what the girl said was right.
Today the human tribe drove the demon tribe, from a rumor I’ve heard, that the heart which took out from a live demon tribe have traded at a higher price.
The heart of the demon tribe taken out is used as『Panacea』and It is taken to the auction as admiration use to some millionaires, and it is knocked down with a high price.
If it is the thing of『the daughter of the demon king』– -.
However, I ignore the girl and come back to the hut.
『Why?! Do you say even the heart of the daughter of the demon king is not worth?! 10 million G is valued not fall! 』
Furthermore, the girl still persistent
Afterwards, about ten days.
She demands me to make swords not spare even while sleeping, I’m really tired and gave one condition.
『……. Enough to say that I will make it. However, I will use your heart as a magical power of the『Sword』. And I will put my tribe『Grudge』on the sword. The 『Curse』that never able to release, even『Curse』squezzing your spirit to run out. Still, wield that sword, If you say that it will confront the human and the hero army, I don’t stop it. 』
The girl’s expression puzzled for a moment but accepted a condition immediately.
And I took out 『heart』 from her, I put with all 『Grudge』of the destroyed dwarf tribe.
I built masterpiece sword– – cursed sword 《Criminals judgement sword Criminal Darkness 》.
And then, after a little while, from the rumor of the wind I’ve heard, 『Demon king army』pushed back『Hero army』outside a territory and the world was halved again.
Certainly, I am convinced that it is the activity of the demon king daughter—— Selenust Granzyme 8 generations.
And she surely grows up, and take the seat of the demon king, though I am watering ancestor’s grave Fufu, I laugh.
Why I cooperate with her?
I gave the sword to the demon tribe which is the ancestral enemy, moreover daughter of the demon king, and the curse of the deceased is that the action was equal.
I’m still watering at the tomb of the ancient people now and add flowers.
That scene, no matter what self-mocking laughter come.
But she survives.
She entreats to me even though I refuse it how many times without any sleep.
When that time “then, I will do what I like“ said that『Eyes』.
She is desperate to protect the same tribe as well.
Surely my ancestors also have same 『Eyes』there’s no mistake.
After all, 『Same tribe』and『Other tribe』What‘s difference?
It is merely a whim of 『G.o.d 』that made this world?
However, I am not even a good person.
I took her heart when alive.
And I put all 『grudge』and created 『Cursed sword』.
Until now, that sword—– 《 Criminals judgement sword Criminal Darkness 》 also called『The best sword of the world 』which could push the disadvantage of the demon army, but it was different.
She is —- Selenust Granzyme 8th generation overcame in strong 『Curse』dwelling in that sword.
She’s already lost one heart engulfed by a curse and only loss of life if she can’t overcome the curse.
I put my hand to the tomb of the ancient people and talking to myself.
『Dwarf G.o.d. When the age come and this『negative chain』 called war disappears? 』
There, not a possibility the response is heard–.
――I make a step to a small workshop in a mountain hut to make convincing weapons again.
