The Nameless Crown
Chapter 24 - A Rusty Sword

Wind Hill, West Green Plain, Wendy House

“From your expression, I can guess that the weapon must have been finished.”

Ash and Lilith who have been enjoying their time in Belgana City go straight to the Wendy House after the iron forging girl tells Ash about the news of her new weapon.

Being in Belgana City for two more days makes Ash's body a little tired. Because what he expected was inversely proportional, instead of feeling calm without problems, but they always get trivial problems caused by Lilith's charm.

The beauty of the Attractive Empress was indeed matchless, even a gouty Grandfather who used a guiding stick could instantly run when he saw Lilith's beauty.

However, all of those issues were immediately resolved when Wendy's message entered through the Ash panel status.

“You underestimated me too much, shy men”

“Huh?! A shy? Me?”

However, Wendy just laughed giggling like a child who managed to prank someone.

“If not for the additional attributes brought by that rare item. Maybe I could have finished it sooner. Well, not only on your own.”

Wendy placed an item covered in cloth right next to the fireplace. On the other hand, Ash's face now looks like a child waiting for his toys to arrive, even Lilith seems to want to laugh at him, but he can survive, and prefers to observe him with a big smile.

After that Ash opened the cloth slowly, layer by layer, and finally a long object was plastered in front of his eyes.

“Other people may call it a sword, but in the category of material selection, ratio, and effective means of use. This dear child of mine will probably match your taste as an Assassin,” explained Wendy as she rubbed under her nose.

Ash is shocked by Wendy's statement. He did not know how the iron forging girl could look deep into one's strength and determine what kind of weapon was suitable for her.

Although the basic ingredients of making Ash weapons are based on first glance. Obviously it was something very difficult, let alone Wendy just catching a glimpse of what kind of weapon Ash used when fighting against monsters.

“I agree with that statement. Looks like you didn't pick the wrong blacksmith, Ash,” Lilith chimpanzee.

“Really?”

Lilith nodded and touched the tip of Ash's nose with her index finger. His two eyes began to glow faintly like fireflies at the end of the darkness.

“I have magic eyes, eyes that can judge an item in one look, and I guarantee the quality of the weapon in front of you this is not a figment of a mere”

“Hahahaha! Turns out your wife was great at judging people, Ash ..”.

For brief information, at first Wendy still called him with Ryan, but he immediately corrected it after Lilith informed the status of the two of them.

Ash growls silently when he hears that Lilith is his wife. He never even performed a wedding ceremony or other sacred things other than binding a contract with the troublesome woman.

Any more?! Why do so many think Lilith is my wife?! Inner Ash screamed.

“Already. I don't care anymore, there's still something more important for me to respond to”

“Hehehe. I'm that spirit, at least you're better than that Lesta playboy,” said Wendy with a blink.

“My feeling is bad. Forget it ..., now get to the point. How much should I pay for this gun?”

“Umm. Actually you don't have to give me anything”

Ash tilted his head. “Yakin?”

“Yes. After all thanks to you as well I was able to create a masterpiece like this. Aside from the cost of production and creativity, the complementary items you provide are more than enough to cover it all”

“Hahhh. It turns out like that, huh?”

“Isn't that great, Ash. You get free weapons~”

“Free weapon jidatmu,” furious Ash while nudging Lilith's eel.

“Ouchh ... “

“You guys are indeed a harmonious couple, huh?”

“Ughh ... up to.”

After that Ash took Wendy's refurbished and upgraded weapons with rare materials. He also opened the status panel and checked the quality of the weapon.

[Acquired Juggernaut Dagger x1]

—Psy. Heck : +379

—Mag. Tops: +100

[Special Attribute: The aura emitted by the death god enchantment can inflict a curse and blood effect within a period of a few seconds. Each attack launched within a certain period of time can increase the special effect]

[A masterpiece by the Iron Man, Wendy. Made of rare materials with elements of the attribute of semi-death darkness. The aura emanated from each of his attacks could make the monsters not wart]

“Wow!”

“Justify what I said. That gun was destined for you, Ash. So don't hesitate and take ownership.”

As soon as Ash finished checking the weapon, he took it and stored it in a special holster that Wendy had also prepared.

In addition, on the side was engraved some letters and strokes that glowed faintly. Although it looks like the light from a flying object, but with its dark characteristics and elements of mystery. The weapon is indeed very suitable with the appearance of Ash who is all mysterious.

At first glance the person who saw him would probably think of Ash as a local, but in reality he used his ability to disguise himself.

Although weak, his strength could still protect him from various things.

“In addition to creating this great weapon, I also infused the Mana Sari of the Skeleton Nameless Crown. As a result you can see the Rune password that I engraved on the side”

“B-even password Rune?! W-Wendy ... Who exactly are you?”

Lilith suddenly flinched in shock and her complex facial expression managed to steal Ash's attention.

“Of course the blacksmith, who else, Lilith?”

Hearing that now the Attractive Empress put on a face of disbelief.

“Sayang .. infuse Mana and give Mana are two different things. Infusing Mana meant that the person must have superhuman abilities in extracting the Mana essence itself. Only a handful of people can do it and this belongs to the work of an Alchemist”

“A-Alchemist?”

“Shocked? It's still not much, Ash. If you can satisfy my curiosity, there will be many surprises that you will receive in the future. As proof ... weapon in your hand it is one of them”

“Everything listen to me, baby. You always judge it from the wrong thing”

“Hehehe. This one couple is so familiar, not ashamed to call him dear? There is still me you know, here,” Goda Wendy with a nosy smile.

“Ahh~ of course not. What the hell isn't up for my beloved Ash?~”

For the sake of ***** Odin, remove that expression from before me, madafaka! Ash's inner scream.

“B-good ... alright, I understand. So in short Wendy's a great guy?”

Ash who returned to his consciousness started putting on a stop pose with his right palm.

“I see what you mean, so can we get to the point, and finish this conversation?”

“Hahaha. Though again in the fun part, but you even want to end it just like”

“Not intentionally, but I still have some missions to complete” immediately

“Oh. So that's it, huh? then wait a minute.”

Ash and Lilith exchanged looks. They had no idea what Wendy was saying, but they chose to wait as the blacksmith girl went to the back of the room.

“As a sign of my gratitude for giving this opportunity. Here, take souvenirs from me ... You have eaten it before, right?”

What Wendy gives is a bag of sweet potatoes and also a boiled bamboo shoot that is still warm.

Without a second thought, Ash immediately picked it up, and thanked Wendy.

“Thank you. This is really folk food”

“No problem. After all this is my favorite food too,” replied Wendy with a big smile.

“Boiled pig?”

On the other hand Lilith was confused by the food, as she had never seen or felt it. As he lived in seclusion in a birdcage, seeing how glad Ash was to receive, he became curious, and tried to take a boiled sweet potato from the bag.

However, Ash deftly moved the bag.

“Don't be here, there will be a better place to eat it”

“Oh? I guess you don't want to share it with me”

“Lilith you should obey your husband, he is a man of culture.”

Not understanding that, Lilith simply nodded in agreement as she was once again considered to be Ash's wife.

Ash who began to be uncomfortable and could not stand the treatment of Wendy immediately left his home. Lili followed behind and Wendy waved her hand with a satisfied face.

“Ash .. I will see how far you have traveled in this world. In addition to successfully luring the twin sister of Her Majesty the Queen, I am amazed by your guts.”

Wendy's mouth grinned and a bunch of red butterflies appeared, circling her body from bottom to top.

In that short time Wendy's appearance changed completely. The shape of the previous body adjusting as the iron forging was now more towards the faint trembling.

His tanned skin became clear white, his shoulder-length brown hair became a jet-black length. Complete with clothes that resemble a royal princess. It's just a transparent veil covering the nose to the bottom of his mouth.

From behind the gaze of purple eyes with sharp pupils, he shook a hand fan engraved image of two pairs of legendary figures of the myth—Naga and Phenex.

“What fate will bring us back? Or did your journey end here? I can't wait to see it.”

His status as an NPC was blurred and filled with glitches until it was finally destroyed and then changed into a new identity.
