Black Market-2

" Your son is a Blacksmith too? " Julian asked

"Yes, he is the official blacksmith for the Vermillion Family. This little guy right here is my grandson. We have magic related to a blacksmith in our bloodline. So he dreams to be like his father too . " said the old man ruffling the boy's hair.

While he started repairing those two weapons with [ blacksmithing magic ] he started telling Julian various stories. An old lady who was his wife entered with two-three cups of tea and joined the conversation.

He told that around 14 years ago when he got an order from a remote area he found a boy who had ended up in a foreign nation.

The name of that boy was Yami Sukehiro.

He gave that boy a place to live for two years. He saw that the boy had a sword at his waist that he had never seen. Soon after that the boy got his grimoire and was chosen to join the Aqua Deer squad by the current Wizard king.

But Yami didn't stop being in contact with him. All of Yami's swords were made by him. He stopped taking any more orders except Yami after his son got a stable position as a blacksmith of crimson lions.

He lives nearby and spends his time with his wife in this shop sometimes teaching people who want to learn this profession. Julian was amazed to hear these stories as Yami never told about his past.

After an hour he gave handed Julian the weapons. They looked good as new. He paid the money and said goodbye to join the others. On the way, he bought some 'one-time use spatial rings ' for a very high price. Those things are pretty rare and only occasionally found in the market.

These rings can stone anything nonliving up to a volume of the 100-meter cube for half a day before they lose effect. They can be only used once after that the ring automatically breaks.

Meanwhile, Asta and co-founded a gambling den. There Magna was gambling but ended up losing again. While they were getting ready to leave, Sekke who joined the praying mantis saw them try his chances on Noelle and Vanessa without noticing the presence of Asta/

" Hello Bah ha, " he said but his face paled when he saw Asta. Asta saw him too but he ignored him like he never existed.

" You know him Bakasta? "Asked Noelle. That is when Sekke noticed Asta and his face paled.

" No idea, never saw him, " said Asta without any remorse.

" How did you forget me, Bah – ha. I am Sekke who fought you in the magic knights exam "

"Ah you are the guy that was showing off too much, " said Asta. Hearing this his lips twitched. He was about to say something. A person ran past them holding a big bag with an old lady shouting " Thief! somebody help ! ". The thief was running away sitting on a cloud-like structure.

Seeing this Sekke decided to show off and created an ugly ride with his bronze magic and followed the thief.

As he got near the thief, he somehow got injured by the thief and fell off his ride.

'What a waste ' thought Vanessa

Asta ran past him and climbed the roof of houses and followed the thief. He opened his grimoire and shot his sword towards the cloud. As the man was getting ready to make fun of him for aiming wrong, the sword passed through this cloud completely negating it. The moment he balanced himself on another roof a got a straight punch to the face from Asta.

A direct punch from someone like Asta was overkill for him so he fainted that instant.

Meanwhile, Sekke was contemplating his life and waiting for death. Vanessa picked the tool he was attacked with.

" No need to be so dramatic, it's just minor paralysis poison. You will heal after 10 minutes "

" Bha -ha? "

Meanwhile, the old lady who witnessed the scene had had her eyes shining with excitement.

" Antimagic is quite fascinating isn't it Wizard king, " said Julian who came and stood beside the old lady said.

"What are you talking about boy? I am just an old lady who can't even run so why are you comparing me with the wizard king. " said the old lady.

"Sure then I have the contact of Marx, he can decide that you are the wizard king or not, " said Julian as he took out the communicator.

"Fine - Fine I give in just don't call Marx. Hope you are doing well Julian "

" Yes I am doing fine thank you for asking, " said Julian as he saw Asta coming with the bag.

They told the old lady to take care and went to find Finral. After everyone left, the wizard king changed to his original appearance.

'You are the first person to detect my transformation Julian, surprising indeed.

I wonder what else can you show me more Julian '.

Wizard King looked up and found that Yuno and his two new squad members flying with someone on a metal steel carriage.

'Time to have some more fun'

He decided to follow them for fun and once again invade doing paperwork leaving everything on poor Marx.
