806 He’s a Fan of Aura Users


    The cksmith allowed us to see the weapons he created. There are some normal looking weapons, but most of them are just weapons he made not for functionality. They are just for show.


    “My father was a cksmith as well. Though he only made kitchen knife or dismantling knife. He never created something for the purpose of killing another human being. While I was interested in an old children stories about Aura user. So after I took over as a cksmith, I started creating weapons such as swords and spears,” the cksmith said.


    Should I say that he’s my biggest fan? Well, that is totally wrong. He’s just a fan of Aura user. So even Victoria and Sonia are included since they were Aura users as well.


    “Most of them just look good enough. But they are not a weapon. Do you work for some sort of entertainment business,” I asked.


    “You’re right. They are mostly weapons for decoration. They are not durable and not sharp. Because they will be sold to a traveling theater for ys. I made them dull so that they won’t hurt anyone just in case. While making them not durable so that my business can continue since they will break easily. I only made some real weapons that I think is good enough. Not a kitchen knife, and not a dismantling knife. Real weapons.”


    Then he opened a door on the floor which lead to the basement. Why do I keep involved with someone with hidden passage to the basement? I just left those ind with a lot of passage to the underground. And now I’m entering a basement.


    I already know that there’s a basement in this ce so I’m not surprised. I also have checked the weapons. Just looking at them. I won’t know how good they are unless I tested them myself.


    “So, what do you think?”


    I asked the two other people here who have experience in handling weapon. The ck Slime and the ghost. Victoria and Sonia.


    .....


    “The weapons here look nice. If it’s in the past, many experts would pay a lot for these weapons. The quality here is great. I can tell because one of my lovers was a cksmith,” Sonia said.


    If that’s the case, then it’s good. Though hearing Sonia said something like one of his lovers, the master level fire mage was interested in that. I think they will be good friends to each other. Talking about their past and how many men enticed by them.


    “I can transform to those weapons. So other than the sword for the sword-cane, I don’t think you need to buy any,” Victoria said.


    “Are you jealous to weapons? When I was with other girls, you’re fine. But now you’re feeling jealous because of weapons?” I asked curiously.


    “Because I know that I’m superior in one thing. That you need me. If you buy a weapon for yourself, you will need me less. So of course I’m jealous,” Victoria said.


    ...She’s surprisingly honest at this time. Though it’s true that I don’t really need weapons. Victoria and her clones are more convenience.


    But it’s always better if I have spare weapons. And other can also have high quality weapon with them. That’s why having a cksmith will be helpful for us.


    “Don’t worry. Other than the sword, I don’t need much. And it’s more for the others than for myself. Especially for the ten master level mages who trained their bodies more than their magic in the past hundred year. Even if their magic is powerful, they can’t just forget what they were training for over a hundred years. Just look at them,” I said as I’m pointing at the four master level mages here.


    The four master level mages look so excited like kids looking at toys. They’re touching everything that they can see.


    “Hey, can we test some weapons first?” the tamer asked. He can no longer endure it and want to test the sword in his hand.


    The cksmith nodded. And I told him not to worry since we will pay for the ones we picked.


    “Take several you want to test outside. Also, for your main weapon, you need something that suits you. It could be a sword, dagger, hammer, axe, or other weapons. Find the one that suits you and choose them. I will pay for now,” I said.


    The master level mages then grabbed as many weapons as they can and left the basement. They’re outside and are testing the weapons with the help of Victoria and Sonia.


    Even if the weapons they are using are not swords, Victoria and Sonia both came from the time when many Aura users still exist. And they have watched me fight enough to tell what is good and what is not.


    As for old man Henry and I, we just negotiate more in the living room. The girl, Tina, served us some tea.


    We talked about our n from now on. And what things other than weapons that we need his craftsmanship in. Whatever it is that Marie is nning to create.


    I also contacted Albert that I got a cksmith who will stay in my mansion at the capital. And to tell Marie that she can get a great help from him. Even more since he’s an expert level fire mage.


    Albert and Marie prepared everything for the cksmith’s arrival. They just told their servants and Ian that the cksmith ising. And there will be a new building in my backyard.


    As for the equipment, I will bring them all from here.


    After the negotiation is over, old man Henry and the cksmith shook their hand. The cksmith will be officially introduced to the others when he finished creating more weapons for self-defense.


    “Can you also make armor?” I asked.


    “Yes. I can make some strong chainmail as well. Depend on the material, I can make one that anyone can put under their clothes and doesn’t feel heavy at all,” the cksmith said.


    “That’s good enough to advertise to the kings since they need extra protection. As soon as we finished moving, prepare to make them. If you need the material, you can tell the butler there who will inform other people to get them,” I said.


    “Ah, we might need more people. The equipment I have are pretty... heavy?”


    The cksmith was shocked to see I could easily lift several items at once which are too heavy for him.


    He’s someone who work as a cksmith and also an expert level mage. He’s strong. His body is even bigger than those training maniacs in Mellian.


    But to see that I could lift something so heavy at once is such a huge shock.


    “...Are you perhaps a master level mage?” the cksmith asked.


    “Nope. I’m still expert level. Haven’t reached that stage yet,” I said.


    I guess he knows that the higher a mage’s level is, the stronger they became physically. So he thought that I’m a master level mage.


    “You’re close though. The other four people who are testing your weapons are the master level mages. as for Roy, he’s someone you admired. Someone who came out from a children’s story. An Aura user,” old man Henry said.


    “An Aura user! You are real?!”


    “I did not came out of a book. I’m a real person. Someone will exin many things to you after we move... wait, someone ising,” I said.


    From distance, I can see several people areing. And one of them is the agent who was supposed to be investigating the surrounding. He’s pretending to be captured and following them. Because I can see other agents are watching them. With one of them is flying this way hurriedly.


    “I guess something will happen soon. Old man, I’ll bring you back to your castle. Mr. cksmith,e with me. The little girl as well,” I said.


    “Tina too? What if it’s something dangerous?” the cksmith asked.


    “If it’s something dangerous, then I can protect you two right away. Did you forget that those four people are master level mages? And I’m also an Aura user. Whoever ising, you will be safe,” I said.


    Then I open a portal for old man Henry to return, and meet the others outside. They are already prepared for those people’s arrival. They can sense those peopleing.


    But they ignored them as they still continue practicing swinging their weapons.


    “So, someone ising. The agents investigating is also watching them with one of them is flying here. Let’s hear his exnation, shall we?” I said.


    They heard me. But their focus is more in finding a weapon that suit them.


    Well, at their level, there’s really nothing for them to worry about.


    The flying agent arrived and told us about what they found.


    “They are the people who are trying to recruit the cksmith. They saw you guys leaving the city to this direction. So they are probably trying to extort you or threaten you to get the cksmith,” he said.


    “What about the captured agent?” I asked.


    “Don’t worry. He’s not injured that badly. If he want to escape, he can. Also, none of those people are master level mage. So there’s nothing to worry about,” the agent said.


    “Alright. Thanks. I’ll bring you back to the circuster,” I said.


    Now, what should we do with them?
