Not A Hero
Eps. 09 - Iron Clever
“I didn't expect, everything sold so expensive. 105 Gold Coins. passable too!” Escal slowly threw the cloth bag containing the 105 Gold Coins up, and recaptured it.
Some time ago he sold quite a number of precious plants with a few Whole Beasts or Monsters on the Trading Guild. The money made could count quite a lot, not to mention he still kept some things that he would process by himself.
Thanks to his little trick as well, people didn't think that he was one of the Warriors who possessed the System and Storage as it boasted by speaking as if he had the Space Ring.
But for now, he would return home first since it was time for lunch.
......................
Escal came back out after lunch, and gave Liliane a job to do while she went back to the city center to buy or make new weapons.
“This is it!”
Escal stood in front of a large one-story building with a hammer and sword emblem, a shop behind which was a weapon manufacturing site and was quite famous even to the Capital, Eden's Blacksmith.
Not waiting for a long time, Escal immediately stepped foot into the place.
For the first time he would buy the equipment first. Multiple Daggers, Poison, Mana Potion, and Stamina Potion.
“There's so much you buy, son! What are you planning on conquering somewhere?”
A man who was short enough because he was from the Dwarf Tribe said in a slightly joking tone. Based on his introduction, the name of the shopkeeper's man was Alfredo.
“I think so,” Escal deliberately replied with no seriousness.
Alfredo was not offended at all, it was a natural reaction for Escal to behave as such. He simply laughed, while calculating the price of all the items Escal had bought.
“Total is 6 Gold Coins 75 Silver, anything else?”
Escal nodded lightly, “Do you accept ordering Weapons with own materials?”
Alfredo stroked his beard, looking interested.
“Hoho, let me see first what kind of stuff you want to make a weapon.” Alfredo said in a slightly curious tone.
“Sure,” Escal directly reached into his bag, as if he took that thing out from inside the bag. He took it out of System Storage.
Looking at the object on the table, Alfredo could not hide his surprise when he saw the piece of Taring from the Rock Sword Tiger.
“Taring Monster Level 4! Rock Sword Tiger, where did you get this boy?”
Alfredo looked towards Escal with sparkling eyes.
“Sorry, it's confidential. Answer me, can this be made a weapon?” Escal crossed his hands with a flat expression.
“Alright, I understand that. Hm, with this material it might be able to make good swords and daggers. But it takes two days, how?”
Escal nodded, “Of course, I have time to look forward to it.”
“Ho, good!”
After that Escal gave money for all the items he bought, as well as the cost of making Sword weapons even though the results would only be received in two days.
Just before he was on a mission from the kingdom.
Time passed by so quickly, two days passed by. Currently Escal was already a Level 11 Human with various other strong skills after routinely doing hunting in the Woodley Forest.
He was walking towards Eden's Blacksmith to retrieve the promised sword.
Thin but hard to break gray blades, Tiger-carved handles and sarongs that look good, feel light but strong at the same time as Escal holds them.

...The Sword Rock Tiger...
...The sword made from the Taring Rock Sword Tiger was strong and not easily destroyed!...
...Durability: 500/500...
...[.More able to neutralize the Steps that use Mana!]...
...---...
Looking at the Sword in front of him, Escal smiled in satisfaction. He directly hung it on his left waist.
“Your skills are indeed as good as the rumors.” Praise Escal sincerely.
Alfredo rubbed his nose proudly, “Haha, that's overkill! What an honor to make a Weapon with good stuff!”
“Then, I go first.”
“Of course! Come again next time if you want to make a weapon, boy!”
Escal nodded in response, then walked away from the Shop.
Right now was the time, he would go see the place where Commander Loyd and his troops were lost without any news. To the North of Woodley Forest, Escal was deliberately never here because the hunt is usually to the South.
Quickly and agilely, Escal jumped from one tree to another and then stopped on a tree branch close enough to the Gate.
Escal narrowed his eyes, not expecting the situation to slightly miss his expectations.
“The development in a few days is quite large as well. Let alone Rats, they are easy to breed!”
Escal thought in his heart after seeing that outside the Gate many Rat Monsters were roaming around, with plenty of blood strewn everywhere.
It is shaped like a rat, but larger than a dog with glowing red eyes and has poisonous claws and fangs. Although it is actually weak, but if attacked by a crowd will still be troublesome.
Especially after being bitten, the poison from the Monster can spread quickly if not immediately neutralized.
...___...
...The Black Poison Rat...
...The intermediate Level Two monsters were easy to breed with poisonous claws and fangs. Live in groups with some evolved ones!...
...---...
Escal directed his gaze at some mice that were more different than others. Bigger, horrible and disgusting, also more toxic.
“So it.”
Escal focused his mind, and prepared to pull the Dagger from its place.
