Pretty Selfish Interests

After getting information from Darkness, Arzlan and Alisha continued on their way. They were looking for monsters that could level up very quickly, but for 7 weeks there was very little experience to be gained.

Arzlan only went up two levels from the previous level while Alisha went up three levels, actually Arzlan's level was already too high, it took experience from high level monsters to help him increase the level.

The monsters in the forest are not that strong, the majority are only 3 to 25. A little boring can only fight low level monsters.

Under a fairly large tree they burned animal flesh after searching for monsters for quite a while.

"I think we should meet the old man again soon!" said Arzlan.

"Alright, I'll still follow you wherever you go!"

Arzlan was silent with a sharp glance he gave.

***

A woman facing Nova.

"Your Majesty, I've managed to manipulate that man's mind! Now what should I do?"

"You keep an eye on him, keep getting hotter! I want to see that big conflict happen!"

"Okay!"

Aaron had become restless, he kept getting reports of the Demon Lord Army's increasingly aggressive movements.

Inside room could stop the restlessness in his heart.

"What will happen? Can I count on the four heroes?"

A knock on the door caught Aaron's attention.

"Come in!"

One soldier carrying a spear had knelt down. "Your Majesty, there is a Zuru Hero who wants to meet you!"

"Tell him to come in!"

"Okay!"

While in the room Zuru immediately said, "What made His Majesty summon me?"

Aaron's eyes glanced at the window like he was ignoring Zuru, but for a moment his eyes fell on the man. "I called you here there is something important you must do!"

That tone of voice already gave a hint that the topic of conversation would be very heavy.

"What does Your Majesty want to talk about?" Here Zuru chose to remain calm.

"I've called you guys to come to this world, but we want you to save all the humans especially in this kingdom! I'm just still confused, why the Demon Lord's Army hasn't been defeated yet!"

Zuru's eyes instantly narrowed. "What does Your Majesty mean? Your Majesty wants to say that we heroes are not bringing change for this kingdom?

"No, I just want you heroes don't just rely on your status, think about the fate of the innocent people in this kingdom!"

"I see!" Zuru took a deep breath. "I see, the monsters are a lot more aggressive lately than before, I'll try to beat them!"

Leaving the room Zuru couldn't let go of his grip on his hand, he was really annoyed if he had to be treated like any other useless hero.

"Tch… that old man's attitude is really quite annoying!" Wanted Zuru to deliver a powerful punch to Aaron's face.

"Huh?" Otoyura heard footsteps coming from outside his house, without much thinking he quickly went out to check.

As expected, Otoyura who came were two familiar faces to him.

"I've been waiting for you two to come!" Otoyura said. The man's face looked pleased to see their arrival.

"How? Have you finished the order we wanted?"

"Of course, come follow me!"

Arzlan and Alisha are led to a special room, where they are both shown various kinds of weapons which prove that Otoyura is indeed the best blacksmith.

"I've been trying to find a good shape for a sword that suits Master, and this sword is in my opinion the most suitable!"

A sword with a black hilt, an aura of darkness was felt within it.

"What is it?" Arzlan noticed a doubt on Otoyura's face.

Otoyura directed his eyes to Arzlan. "Actually this sword has more power than I imagined, the power inside is terrifying enough that I don't know what will happen if you use it!"

….

Arzlan tried to prove Otoyura's words, he bravely gripped the sword. His hands began to feel a strange sensation, his eyes bulged as if energy was entering his body.

"Sir?" Otoyura wanted to make sure that Arzlan was still conscious, his words did not get a response to Arzlan.

However, after a while Arzlan's eyes glanced at Otoyura.

"Is there any problem?"

"I don't think so, this sword seems to welcome me very well!"

Otoyura and Alisha were worried, in their eyes the sword suddenly increased energy until the atmosphere felt a very strong pressure.

"That's how it looks!" Otoyura sighed, there was nothing better than seeing his customers satisfied with the masterpieces made by him.

Alisha glanced around, the girl had predicted everything. During his journey with Arzlan he had learned many things, he decided to be able to find a weapon that was suitable for him.

"What's wrong Miss?" Otoyura saw Alisha's face which was filled with confusion.

"I wonder, does Uncle have a weapon suitable for me to use?"

Otoyura narrowed his eyes while holding his chin. "I think a woman belonging to the Elf race would be better off using a ranged weapon like an arrow!"

"Yes, I can use arrows too!"

"Okay wait a minute!"

Otoyura then returned with a green bow, a motif that was visible from the architecture like green leaves that had a light, fresh color.

"I don't really have the best bow weapons, but this is one of the bows I made based on a pretty rare item!"

Alisha took the bow from Otoyura's hand, she tried to pull the bowstring. "Hmm… indeed arrows give off quite a comfortable feeling!"

"You seem to like the bow!"

"Yes, what price do I have to pay for this?"

"I'm not asking for a monetary reward, but can you pay using items from the monsters?"

Arzlan and Alisha looked at each other.

Otoyura has confirmed that Arzlan and Alisha have fought a lot, from every fight of course there is a special item that they keep, that's what Otoyura wants.

Arzlan nodded and Alisha took out a small pouch.

"This! We've already collected some of the things we can collect!" Actually it was Arzlan's own suggestion to collect items.

Arzlan already understands that Otoyura is a maniac in making weapons, money doesn't really affect him, therefore items are things that people like him really want.

Otoyura's eyes were amazed to see crystals full of sparkles of different colors. "Truly extraordinary!"
