City of End of the Hero

Let’s conclude.

While on the run, I met Clara, a 13-year-old War Tiger from the Tiger People tribe. She’s really good!

For some reason, the rank of the unique skill Clara had, “Hunting,” was B+. Combined with her athletic ability, she was very active in procuring food along the way.

So, it is strange that she was so passionate about animal meat. If she was such a good hunter, she should have been able to get rabbits and other animals easily.

Clara said, “We’ve eaten up all the small animals in that area.

Yeah, you eat three times as much as we do, don’t you?

Well, even if the food aspect is good, I’m starting to feel sorry for her wearing my old clothes.

She’ s got some minor scars on her skin from running around in the bushes in those thin clothes.

I wish I could dress her more decently.

The same could be said for Sylphy, too.

She came to me with nothing but her clothes on. And she’s only wearing my clothes while I’m washing them..

That’s why.

We continued to head east, and after two more nights, we saw a large city along the border.

We’ll pick up a few things here and get ready for the border crossing.

But there is a problem.

I’m a wanted man for killing priests.

The wanted list must have already been circulated.

If that’s the case, I won’t be able to walk around the city with my head held high.

However….

“This is the town I used to live in.”

Before she was captured by the slavers, she used to work as a day labourer.

I heard that she had drifted away and was only here for a few months or so, but I guess she knew what she was doing.

I was going to go to the city alone and ask Clara to buy all the things I needed.

“Do you want me to buy a lot of meat?”

“Clothes. Mainly clothes. Then we’ll buy new knives, pots and pans and other travel essentials. The ones I brought from my house are old. And for food, I buy things that can be stored. I don’t need a lot of meat.”

“I mean, a lot of meat.”

“I’ll give you a note and you can show it to the shopkeeper.”

I’m anxious. There’s nothing but anxiety. And the biggest anxiety of all.

“Listen, Clara. Don’t go along with a stranger who says, I’ll give you some meat, okay? ”

“What? ”

“Can you please not give me that ‘why not’ look?

I explained that bad people literally use things that their target likes as bait to deceive them.

“By the way, I was sold to a slave trader when I followed a stranger who said, I’ll give you meat. ”

You’ve already experienced this?

“Do you want me to go with you? ”

“Really? Yay!”

Well, what can I do.

Sylphy and I put on our hooded cloaks. We look like suspicious travellers, but we can’t help it. I’m just a common human boy, but Sylphy is distinctive and easy to recognize.

Fortunately, Clara is with us, so she won’t suspect that we are a ‘partners’.

Criminals usually don’t add to their ranks while on the run.

So we entered the city, left the carriage at a large inn, and went shopping.

The main street was bustling with activity.

Various stalls were crowded and many people gathered.

This city has flourished as a logistics hub along the border. It is one of the largest in the country.

A short walk down the river brings us to the second largest port city in the country after the royal capital.

The town I was in was along the highway, but the goods and other things gathered here flowed through the waterways, so the connection was thin.

“Brother, there’s meat! ”

I choked Clara, who was about to attack the butcher store.

By the way, she calls me “big brother”. At first, she started calling me “Master,” but I told her not to do that, so here we are.

Well, I don’t want people to call by my name in public, so this is fine for now.

After looking at the stores, I came to the end of the main street.

The plaza.

There were a lot of people here.

“Brother, what is that? Water is spraying out of the pond. ”

“Hmm? Oh, it’s a fountain. ”

It’s a fountain that draws water from the river that runs near the city and uses underground waterways that run throughout the city. That’s what I read from the fountain.

“Oh, there it is again. It shot out! ”

I figured that if she had lived here before, she would be familiar with it, but apparently she never came around here during the light hours. Basically, she lived in a poor section of the city, far from the main road.

Clara stared at the tip of the water column high in the sky and lowered her eyes as it fell.

“Hmm? Brother, what is that? ”

As the fountain disappeared, a large, out-of-place rock on the other side caught her eye.

At the top of it, a sword was sticking out.

It was a simple sword without any clever design, but it was a symbol of the city.

This city is also known as the “City of End of the Hero.”

The place where the hero who once defeated an evil dragon and brought peace to the world breathed his last.

It is said that the hero used his last strength to stab his sword into the giant rock and sealed it with magic until the next hero appears.

The sword was forged by kneading fairy scales into it, and even if it sliced a dragon, the blade would not spill, and it would never break.

It was hundreds of years ago, so the truth is not certain.

Of course, people with the “appraisal” skill have tried many times to get more information about the sword, but they can’t find out anything except that the name is the “Sword of the Brave”.

Maybe It’s being protected by some mysterious power.

I activated my “Appraisal” skill with a light heart.

=====
Name: Sword of the Hero
Classification: Weapons
Value: 500,000,000G

Attack power: S
Defense: S
Attack Magic: A
Anti-magic power: S

[Description]
A single-handed sword used by the Hero Earth Dragon. A one-of-a-kind sword forged by kneading fairy scales into it. The magic power of him and the opponents he has shot and destroyed is stored and can be used as a source of magic power. (TL: Raws translation are ‘Drago’ whereas I used ‘Dragon’. which one is more suitable)

[Special Effects]

“Blessings of the Fairy King.”
The blade is absolutely unbreakable. And nor does its blade spill.
Can grant invincibility to the user for 15 seconds. (Once per day)]

“Fairy Daze.”
Conceals the performance of the sword to all but the wielder. It can also disguise the holder’s status as desired.

[Status]
Since it is sealed, no skills can be used.
To break the seal, you need to have the same or higher status as the Heroic Earth Dragon.
=====

I can see it…….

It’s full of amazing information, but the price is what caught my attention.

500 million Gold is insanely expensive. You could buy a mansion with a swimming pool in the middle of King’s City.

The status is also unparalleled.

For both people and things, “S” is basically a status value that is so impossible that it can be described as “illusory” but you can get “S” for attack, defense, and even resistance to magic at …….

The special effects are amazing, too.

In my opinion, “Fairy Daze” is too attractive. But the fact that I can see it even with this special effect shows how out of the ordinary the skill rank EX is.

Still, this sword might be rather cheap at 500 million?

Maybe because it’s sealed, and that’s why they set the value as an art work.

But is it okay to leave something like this out in the open?

The answer was written on a sign in front of the big rock.

You can’t actually read it because of the distance, but you can read the descriptive information in the “appraisal”.

“Feel free to bring your own. As long as you can take it with you!”

They’re trying to stir things up.

But I guess that’s how confident they are.

It’s usually impossible to carry a rock that big, and rocks can’t be broken down by magical effects.

And a hero’s sword can only be pulled out if he is as strong as the brave man.

Well, that’s not my problem.

Even if I can read the abilities of things, it doesn’t mean I can become a sword.

So, we turned on our heels and headed back the way we came.

**

At a clothing store.

“Oh, pretty.”

“Oh yes……? Ehehe.”

Sylphy was dressed in a young grass-colored outfit that was a little bit higher quality than her usual clothes.

A beautiful girl can look good no matter what you put on her.

“What about me, brother?”

Clara was wearing pants and a vest with lots of pockets.

She has a wild vibe, but her young face is adorable, so again, she looks good no matter what she wears. Her hair is short, which makes her look a little boyish.

“But it’s a little painful in the chest.”

“Oh, yes. You might want to go one size larger on the top.”

Correction. The voluptuous chest was a woman’s, no matter how you looked at it.

After two hours of shopping, I had everything I needed.

The “Appraisal” skill is useful.

You can avoid being tricked into buying something cheap at a high price.

I’d like to find some bargains, but I can’t stay long, so I’ll have to wait another time.

The luggage was wrapped in a large cloth and carried by Clara.

I told her I’d take half, but when she smiled and said, “I’m the stronger one”, I had no choice but to ask.

“Then I’ ll buy you some meat as a reward.”

“Really? Thank you, brother.”

There was a store selling grilled meat.

I selected the best quality meat by “appraising” it and had it grilled.

“It’s delicious.”

“Mogumogu…… Yeah, it’s soft, it’s delicious.”

Clara and Sylphy quickly devoured their steaks.

While I was enjoying my meal, I was looking at them with a smile on my face.

“Hey, that tiger girl, isn’t that Clara?

A voice called out Clara’s name.

When I turned around, I saw two old men looking at me suspiciously.

“Mogu!?…Puhaa”

In the background, Clara seemed to be in a panic. Then, she continued to shout loudly.

“Brother, it’s them! They’re the ones who sold me to the slavers!”

The attention was huge.

And rightly so. She had named a criminal in the public eye.

The person who said that was in a panic.

“What? You can’t be serious!”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

Gosh, more and more people were gathering.

If I stand out like this, they’ll know I’m a wanted man.

If that happens…

I pointed at the two guys and shouted.

“You’re the Otto brothers, aren’t you? Where did you hide the Golden Statue of the Great Mother that you stole from Mr. Loggins’ house the other week?

“Damn it, how did you know about that?”

“I was sure they wouldn’t find it!”

Oh, they’re idiots.

Sigh. This flow is good. It’s really good.

Now I’m on the side of justice. No one will think I’m wanted.

All that’s left to do is to stun him with the hammer of justice and we’ll dash out of here!

Can I……?
