There are many who claimed to be a blacksmith. But at most, they just crafted knives and cooking utensil. And even if they crafted dismantling knives, the quality is just average. After dismantling a few monsters, those knives won’t be usable anymore.

But now, I heard that there’s a blacksmith living in the forest nearby. And the waiter I talked with said that the blacksmith is creating weapons.

This is a great information. I have to check the man myself. I need to go there.

Today, we just arrived in this city. It’s still afternoon now. We arrived around lunchtime so that we can quickly ask for permission from the lord of this city to perform. Though I think it should be easy to get. After all, we arrived right after the other circus group finished their shows. So the lord will give us permission. Without a doubt.

Especially since we are the circus approved by the king and even have agents from Varadis as the performers. If the lord here is someone that old man Henry can trust, then he should have known that a circus is coming. So getting a permission is easy.

Anyway, it’s still bright. And there shouldn’t be any show tonight. So I’d like to meet the blacksmith today.

But before that, I want to check something first.

“Excuse me. That seems interesting. Can I check the knife?” I asked the waiter.

.....

“Well... the owner is quite strict with people entering the kitchen. So I don’t know about that,” he said.

But he doesn’t seem sorry at all. He just wants bigger tips. So I gave him some money and I was given permission to enter the kitchen.

“Hey! No one other than the staffs can enter the kitchen!” the chef shouted.

“I allowed him to enter. He wants to see the knife crafted by Master Blacksmith. Let him see it,” the waiter said. Though it seems like he’s not a waiter at all.

“Well, if the boss says so, I can’t refuse it. But we can’t just let him touch the new ones we haven’t used yet. So here,” the chef said.

Seems like the waiter is actually the owner of this restaurant. And I was also given permission to see the knife. Though the one I was given was the knife that the chef had just used. As he grabbed a new one and prepare to cut the next ingredient with it.

But I don’t mind it. This one seem to be a great knife already. It’s just that the chef doesn’t have the right technique. So the blade is already smaller than the knives that hasn’t been used that I checked with my Divine Vision.

But I can feel that the quality of this knife, even though its no longer as good as when it was first finished, it’s still a high quality knife. That’s what I feel when I grabbed the hilt.

“Can I try cutting something with it?” I asked.

“Well—”

“I’ll pay you,” I said before the owner said anything.

“Sure!”

Then he instructed the chef to give me a big piece of meat. Seems like a monster meat.

And I skillfully cut it into pieces in front of the two people. I don’t think that they are from the cult. And all I did was just cutting a piece of meat. So it should be fine.

There’s no chip in the blade at all even though I didn’t use Aura. But if it’s an average chef, it’s normal that the blade will get smaller and smaller the more it’s used. But I’m different from them.

I don’t care about the reaction of the owner and the chef. I was just in awe at the quality of the knife. And it’s a used knife as well! What if I use a new one?

I don’t think the sharpness and durability will be as good as if I use Aura. But what if I use Aura on such high quality weapon? That will make the weapon even stronger.

“Alright. I want to see the blacksmith so I can buy one for myself. Can I have this? Seems like you won’t be use it after a while.”

“Ah, sure! I can’t believe that I can see a beautiful cutting technique. Who are you?” the owner asked.

“I’m just a clown from a circus. I have a lot of trick, you see. And I play with knives a lot. We just arrive at this city today and will start to perform probably from tomorrow night. If you like, you can watch and see more tricks from me and my friends. Then, I’ll take my leave,” I said.

I left the restaurant. And right away, I contacted Victoria by using telepathy and ask her if we got the permission to perform.

“We got it. It didn’t take long and we’re already back at the inn,” she said.

“Then leave the inn with the master level mages and meet me at the gate. I found a blacksmith who created a decent quality product. I’m going to meet him right away. I will also call Sonia. Seems like she has a lot of free time nowadays,” I said.

Even if I’m an Aura Master, I don’t know about the quality of a real weapon that Aura users of the past commonly use. So I want to ask the two former Aura users about their opinion. And I will also bring the master level mages who are interested in fighting close range.

“Really? I’ll be there right away. Also, don’t forget to tell Henry about it. His grand aunt might be interested. And with him, we might be able to recruit the blacksmith to help us since he’s still the king of this country,” Victoria said.

She’s right. So while I’m texting old man Henry, I called Sonia and told her what I’m going to do.

“That knife looks like it used to be a high quality product. But because an amateur kept using it for a long time, it’s already damaged. Though I can still see how good the quality is,” Sonia said as she’s inspecting the knife I got from the restaurant.

“I know, right? Seems like he’s selling the knives to the city whenever he needs money. And most of the time, he’s working in his smithy. We’re going there after meeting up with Victoria and the others,” I said.

Then I got a reply from old man Henry saying that he and his grand aunt will meet us. So I will open a portal once we’re close to the smithy.

Victoria soon arrived with the three master level mages. Seems like the fire master level mage has finished enjoying her time.

“This is a great knife. Or at least it used to be. But don’t you think that I can transform into something as good as this? Do we need to meet the blacksmith?” Victoria asked.

“Just for precaution. By having a blacksmith that can made many things for us, we can probably do more. I can give Blobbies to everyone for self-defense, but it would be better if they have a normal knife. And maybe some sort of light armor that everyone can wear. That would be great,” I said.

“Hmm... you’re right. Let’s meet the blacksmith. But are you sure that he’s still making weapons at this age?” Victoria asked me again.

“That’s what the owner of the restaurant said. I can’t see his smithy yet. So I’m going there to confirm it. If you want, you can wait at the inn and I will open a portal for you later,” I said.

“We’ll go with you. Maybe I can find a monster to tame on the way,” the tamer said.

“Good for you. I’m still not ready yet to go to Monsters World alone and look for a monster to make a contract with. If I have a good weapon that suits me, that would be great,” the summoner said.

The summoner said that he’s planning to go to the Monsters World sometime soon to find a monster to make a contract with. But his magic element other than summoning are still to weak. And he was focused more on physical strength for a long time. So having a weapon is always a good choice.

But why didn’t he think of having a partner to go with? That would be easier, right? I can never tell what he’s thinking.

If other people have Blobbies, they will have too many choice on what weapon to use. Will it be a knife? A sword? A spear? An axe? Or other weapons? They have to think before transforming the Blobbies.

But if they already have a weapon right away, then they won’t spend time at all to think of a good weapon to use. Limiting one’s choice is a good way as well to improve reaction speed.

“Then let’s go. We just need to run to where that smoke is coming from,” I said as I pointed at the smoke that should be coming from the smithy.

Three master level mages who are physically trained, and an Aura Master. We reached the place just in five minutes.

And when I got close enough, the man inside the smithy noticed us. He’s an expert level mage.

I hope he’s not an enemy. An expert level mage who is a blacksmith is a great addition to the alliance.
