The Author's POV
Chapter 303
"It's me, but who be ye? Human?"
Malvil picked up the hammer from the ground and tried to place it on the table.
Seeing him struggle to put the hammer on the table, I moved forward and offered him a hand.
"I'll help out."
"Ah, thank ye."
"...What in the world is this hammer made out of?"
In hindsight, I probably should've thought this more thoroughly since the hammer weighed a ton.
Even with my current stats, I could barely lift it.
"Khh, what is this hammer made out of?"
"A lot o' bloody metal"
"Aren't you a blacksmith? How can you work with a hammer that you can't lift."
"...Well, it's nae mine, it's me students."
"Bounded artifact?"
"Ye."
"...no wonder."
Bounded artifacts were artifacts that could only be used by a specific user. If anyone else tried to use it, the artifact would not respond to any mana fluctuation.
As such, unless held by the true owner, it was nothing more than a piece of scrap metal. An extremely heavy one at that.
"I'll hold it by its head an' ye hold it by tha handle."
"Okay...ukk."
"Put more strength in your hips, youngster."
"Ugh, I'm trying."
After struggling for what felt like an eternity but was actually more like a little less than a minute, we finally managed to place the hammer on the table.
"...My god."
I collapsed on the ground, completely drained of energy.
Even if the artifact was a bounded one, to think that it would weigh so much in its regular state. Just how difficult was crafting it?
"...So what did you come here for?"
Malvil wiped his forehead that was filled with sweat.
Standing up, I tried to introduce my self. However, before I could do that, I was quickly cut off by him.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Ren, and I'm he—"
"You're here to get an artifact, right?"
"...yeah."
It looks like he already knew my answer. He probably just asked out of formality.
"What type of artifact do you want?"
"A sword."
As I asked, my heart rate sped up a little. Most likely, I was going to get rejected. But I at least wanted to know the requirements for getting accepted.
Malvil pointed towards the front of the shop and said.
"We have plenty in our shop; you can check them."
"I already have."
"...and?"
"I'm here to have a sword crafted rather than buying one."
"Crafted?"
"Yes."
An odd look flashed Malvin's eyes.
Patting the hammer on the table, he sat down on a wooden chair and rested his elbow on the table.
"Alright, show me your move. If ye can intrigue me, I may be interested in forging ye a sword."
"That's it?"
