Madman in a Fantasy World

16. information gathering

“It’s a special sword.”

“······What is that?”

To my question, the man answered with an innocent expression that did not match his face of knowing nothing.

“Ah, mister. That kind of joke isn’t funny.”

What kind of blacksmith doesn’t know the special sword?

“I’m not joking, I’m asking what the real question is.”

“No, you really don’t know?”

The old man with his arms crossed nodded calmly.

“Luna, haven’t you heard of it? A supersword?”

“From what I know, I’ve never heard of it.”

How on earth do you have a double-edged axe?

“Haa…then I’ll explain it to you, so listen carefully.”

Even if the sword body is not good, it is over 160 cm thick and over 2 cm wide.

A big, thick, solid manly weapon.

After hearing my explanation, Luna shook her head with the feeling of ‘It’s a start again’, and the uncle just looked at me with an absurd expression.

“Haa… kid. Do you really think that such a sword would exist?”

“Absolutely.”

If it were Earth, no matter how it was made, it would be used only for content because of the weight and size that are difficult to wield unless it is a 3 vs. 500 spear, but the world I am in is a fantasy world.

A world that makes the impossible possible.

It doesn’t matter because the status window will make up for the lack of strength.

Soon after, the old man touched his forehead and continued talking.

“Listen, I will explain why such a sword is difficult to exist.”

The handle could not bear the weight of the sword body and the seams broke. It’s hard to wield even if it’s a little narrow. It’s so cumbersome that it’s hard to carry around.

You said many opinions, etc., but I couldn’t break my stubbornness.

The hard thing to wield is a problem for the person who uses it, and I have no intention of carrying it anyway.

I have to put it in my inventory and take it out whenever I need it. Someone carries that heavy thing.

And the handle is broken.

“I can make the handle and the blade into one.”

“That makes sense… no, maybe it’s possible.”

The old man played with his beard as he pondered something.

“If you cut the raw material and process it as it is… if you make the handle and the blade into one piece with a hard object…”

I don’t know what to say when I’m talking to myself.

“Hey Mister. So it’s possible, right?”

“······maybe.”

“Then please~”

“But I don’t have any ingredients.”

No, he said he just put it in his mouth.

“What material do you need? Can’t it be iron?”

“I just can’t do it with a railroad. The handle breaks, and it’s too heavy. If I make it as you said, it will weigh well over 200kg.”

Ooh, is that a bit harsh?

If I level up a little more and raise my stats, I will be able to use it like a stick later, but honestly, I think it will be difficult now.

“Then what do you need?”

“Among the materials for the monster, I need something that is both light and strong.”

It’s a lightweight yet sturdy material.

Even though it doesn’t seem to exist, it’s a fantasy, so it’s easy to say.

“So what is it?”

“You’ll have to find it yourself, I’ll make the weapon for you.”

“No, first of all, I’m a guest who pays for requests, right?”

“therefore?”

fuck. Look at how consistent this man is.

Which store asks customers to buy ingredients?

“Does the old man know anything?”

“There are a few things I know, but what’s your adventurer class, kid?”

“E grade.”

“Then I can’t get what I know. The least I know is C-class.”

“Luna, there’s no way you know… isn’t it?”

“Yes.”

Eh tsk.

So where do you go to get the information?

While thinking about that, Luna, who had been quiet until now, hinted.

“Luke-sama. Wouldn’t Adela-san know something?”

“Oh. That’s a very nice idea.”

Wouldn’t Adela, who works at the reception desk, know a lot about monsters that even the old man didn’t know about?

“And Luke. Shouldn’t we ask for the corpse of our War Wolf?”

“Ah. That’s right, there was that too.”

After all, there is only one secretary, so the work is easy.

It feels like an external high-end SSD. It is fast, accurate and has a good memory.

I took out all the heads and bodies of the war wolves I had piled up in my inventory.

“Ugh…! What kind of smell is this!”

“······!”

Then, both the uncle and Luna were impressed by the out of nowhere smell.

I knew in advance that I was holding my breath.

“Then I’ll ask you to dismantle it!”

The man behind me seemed to be saying something, but I ignored it and left the smithy.

Immediately after getting out of the forge, I quickly headed to the adventurer’s guild.

“Adela!”

“Why did you come back?”

“I’m a little sad about the words between us. You can come again.”

“What kind of business are we?”

“Between the adventurer and the receptionist.”

Well, you have to be a lover to play around.

“Sigh···.”

“Looking at the sighs, it seems that the work is that hard.”

“What did you come for this time?”

ignore it

Could this be pretty good?

Isn’t it rather an industry reward for a pretty woman to sell?

“hehehe.”

“… Mr. Luna.”

“I need materials for weapon production, and I need information about monsters that give hard and light materials.”

As if I had decided to ignore it openly, Adela and Luna started talking.

It didn’t feel too bad to be openly ignored.

“Ummm…”

Adela contemplates with her index finger on her lips in a clenched fist.

Soon, I turn around and take out a book the size of a law book from the bookshelf behind me and start flipping through it quickly.

“How about this?”

Hold out the book and point to part of it with your finger.

And this is what I checked.

“Rhino Horn?”

A few short lines of explanation were written along with a picture drawn by someone with great drawing skills.

It looks like a rhinoceros, but the horns look really fierce.

Its horns aren’t sharp, but it’s big and blunt, and if it even charges with its horns, it’ll smash even a large rock like it would break chopsticks.

“Do you have any other information?”

“We also have little information about this monster. Since it is a herbivorous monster, adventurers rarely go hunting.”

Wow, how could this be a herbivorous monster?

No, and there was such a thing as a herbivorous monster?

It didn’t even appear in the novel.

is not it? Is there any reason not to come out?

Hey, hey, the main character isn’t a psychopath, and there’s no need to go find and annihilate monsters who live well without causing trouble.

“According to the information I know, the rhino horn horn is light and strong.”

“It’s so good, why is there only this information?”

“Even though it’s an herbivorous monster, it attacks when attacked. However, since it’s an herbivorous monster, there are few rewards and it’s difficult, so it’s inefficient, so adventurers don’t do it at all. That’s why we don’t even get requests.”

Isn’t that just the people who ask for it are bastards?

Isn’t it because of those who are struggling to give me less money by making an excuse that they are herbivorous monsters somehow?

“If this is the only information, how do they find it?”

“well.”

“The adventurer’s guild information is worse than I thought.”

“Can I just hit Luke?”

“Eh~? Are you going to hit me?”

Like a squirrel somewhere, I turned my head 90 degrees and asked.

“Yes.”

“Oops!”

And a real slap like a raccoon somewhere.

***

Based on the information obtained from the Adventurer’s Guild, they began investigating.

I just said that, and I was just having a late lunch with Luna.

“No, I want to find it, but there is no information. What should I do?”

“Yes?”

“No, I’m talking to myself.”

Anyway, since the information I got from Adela, I haven’t made any progress.

Where else could there be more information about monsters than the Adventurer’s Guild?

There is probably no town except for the town where there is a rhino horn in front of the house.

I dipped the bread in the jam and put it in my mouth.

Then, suddenly, the sleeves caught my eye.

“Ah. There was.”

“What?”

“To gather information.”

I lowered my gaze and put the clothes I was wearing into my field of vision.

I have only this to wear, so I always forget what I was wearing.

“Let’s go to the academy.”

A place with more information about monsters than the adventurer’s guild.

The place where this world becomes the main stage.

The academy will have information.

“We’re not academy students, so how are you going to get in…?”

A valid point from Luna.

But I have no idea.

“I’m wearing a school uniform, so I can just go in?”

“I don’t have a school uniform.”

“You can just call me my companion, why are you so tight.”

The academy has no security guards.

Each student has the strength to protect their body, and there are strong professors, so I don’t think to touch them except for demons or demons.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Moreover, except for the fact that the actions taken at the academy are the responsibility of the individual, he does not suppress or suppress each action.

“What are you going to do if you get caught?”

“If you get caught, you’ll get caught, so what?”

am i a thief?

You can just go in confidently and skip information and come out. It’s not like you’re secretly trying to steal and get caught. What’s the point of watching them?

And because of the personality of the dean, Lucia Merigold, even if she gets caught, she will rather help and won’t kick her out.

“Let’s just eat and leave immediately.”

“Yes.”

With a snap, I dipped the bread in the jam and bit into it.

***

somewhere underground in the empire.

In a spacious and luxurious room that was unbelievably underground, there were luxurious chairs and tables that a high-ranking aristocrat could sit on.

And the fat man sitting in that chair.

-smart.

“Dine Berkeley. May I go in?”

The man with an appearance that seemed to symbolize wealth was the head of the Berkeley family, Viscount of the Empire.

Dyne Berkeley responded to the voice from outside the door by chewing on meat.

“come in.”

“excuse me.”

“What’s the matter?”

“It is said that the carriage escorting the slaves was attacked.”

“what!?”

“And the Empire side said they were also investigating.”

A fat man who stutters while talking.

He immediately said with a frown on his face.

“This is why you bastard mercenaries…! They only make things bigger by being attacked by monsters?!”

“I was attacked by a person, not a monster.”

“… is that really true?”

“I’m on my way to go and check it myself.”

Suddenly, the sound of bones being crushed came from inside my mouth.

“What son of a bitch…!”

“The hired mercenaries are all dead, and the slaves trapped don’t know us, so there’s nothing to be caught.”

Slaves were insignificant commoners or heterogeneous people.

Dine Berkeley never showed his face to slaves, because he didn’t have to waste his precious respect and time for the slaves he was selling.

That’s why there was never any information about himself leaked out to the freed slaves, and there was nothing to be caught by the empire.

“What would you like to do?”

To the butler’s question, Dyne Berkeley said as if it had already been decided.

“Send the bastards.”

They’re assassins who will do the dirty work for you when there’s a trade-off.

I haven’t had anything to write about these days, but thanks to the fearless guy who doesn’t know who he is, I can have some fun. Dine Berkeley thought.

“All right.”

The door he came in closed and the butler left the room.

Dine Buckley thought as she tossed the bones into the bucket next to her.

‘I don’t know what kind of guy he is, but he dares to disturb me?’

I will catch you, torture you very slowly and painfully, and then kill you.
