SPEAR MASTER AND THE BLACK CAT CHAPTER 65

Sixty-Fifth Episode~ New Weapon and Armor

Today I go to the Dwarf Brother’s store .

More than ten days have passed, so my equipment should be finished now .

The equipment is made of the material from the Evil Dragon King .

I’m excited to see what kind of equipment it will be .

One could say I feel naked right now .

I summon the brilliant silver halberd I borrowed and leave the inn with Rollo on my shoulder .

I pass through alleys and small side streets .

When I pass one area-oh? Magic essence .

I detect a presence behind me .

Judging by the movements of the magic essence…I can expect them to be skilled .

Even when I change the speed I walk, the presence behind me remains at a fixed distance .

I’ve refined the sensitivity of presence detection recently so I can sense finer details .

A dark guild? Or one of the Marquess’ spies?”

Or maybe a vampire hunter?

Ma, if it’s an ordinary spy, I’ll just leave them alone .

I’ll hurry to the store where my things are waiting .

Like that, I turn the corner to the dwarfs’ store and am welcomed by Bonn running over .

“Enchanto!”

“N, Nya . ”

Rollo cries out .

Jumping from my shoulder, she runs to meet Bonn .

Again, such a strange world…

However, like before Bonn seems to know when we’re approaching .

Perhaps, does he have an ability like presence detection?

But from the black cat and the innocent face, I can’t imagine that .

But, maybe?

The enchanting magic Bonn used the other day was fantastic .

His eyes shone, the mana overflowing from his body .

While thinking about Bonn, I walk towards the store .

Thereupon, one carriage is stopped in front of the shop .

A luxurious carriage with an armored horse .

Men are carrying the tools and heavy materials of the smith out of the shops and into the cart .

Going by their leather clothes, are they manservants?

Are Zaga and Bonn moving?

“Bon, Rollo, let’s go to the store . ”

“Nya . ”

“Enchant . ”

Inside the store is a wooden crate with a magic formation carved into it, the materials of the smith are piled up around the shop .

They seem to be in the middle of moving .

The door inside the disordered shop opens .

Zaga comes out .

“Yo, Shuya . The equipment you prepared is ready . ”

“Oh, Zaga . Show me . ”

…I’m excited .

“Got it . Get a hold of your excitement and wait a moment . Bon, stop playing with Rollo and help . ”

“Encha . ”

Oh? The word stopped mid-way?

There seems to be a subtle difference from “Enchant . ”

Bonn runs after Zaga .

After I wait, Zaga and Bonn return holding baggage to their chest .

Various items are placed on the big desk .

Interested in what’s happening, Rollo begins to move at my feet .

Looking up curiously, she sniffs up and down… Keeping her eyes of the two dwarfs . Seeming to want to touch the new items, she jumps on the desk . She brings her nose close to the new items, inspecting them .

Are you curious about their smell?

This time, she prods with the pad of her foot .

“Rollo, don’t touch yet . ”

For now, I’m careful .

“Nn . ”

Rollo purrs while looking at me, then withdraws her paw .

She sits with feet together, motionless .

She curious, but she’s enduring .

At any rate, this is the new spear .

…The spear is a halberd .

I can tell that the equipment made from the Evil Dragon God is excellent .

Its color is mostly purple, and it’s beautiful .

The spear head and the butt, both have attachments to make them weapons .

The flat ax-like blade also comes to a point like a spear .

The large ax blade shines red and releases mana .

The sharp looking spear head is also red, but the pointed end is somewhat black .

It looks heavy .

Looking at this halberd, it appears similar to Sangokushi’s weapon . (TL: I think this halberd is the kind made from two separate blades, the spear, and the ax blade, but I’m not sure . )

The powerful general wielding eighteen kilos of halberd .

The long metal purple bar holds the ax blades and sharp spear point .

In the middle is a partial hand grip .

The grip is black . It’s probably the leather of a monster .

Also, there are metals fittings for a harness that can be removed .

It was made diligently .

The butt end of the spear is a little different .

There is a large rectangular blue crystal .

Its four corners are enclosed by purple scales like teeth .

The contrasting purple and blue are beautiful .

The blue gem sticks out from the enclosing purple scales, shining with a bluer light .

This part with an enclosed crystal is clearly a staff .

And, to the end of the red ax blade, the mana from the blue crystal can be felt .

“…Amazing, amazing, Zaga, this spear . ”

“…will you name this magic spear cane Burdock?”

“That feels right . I will probably go with that . ”

I immediately respond .

Without delay, I try using this magic spear cane, Burdock .

I place the borrowed silver jellium halberd on the ground and wrap my hand around the magic spear cane on the table .

Ah, this, as soon as I held it, I somehow understood .

This is my primary weapon .

I move the spear up and down, getting a feel for it . -Weight, balance, everything is perfect .

Rollo follows the movement of the spear head, her small head bobbing .

“-It feels good . The point of the red halberd looks sharp, and the blade on its side is large . The long purple metal bar is surrounded by a grip . And, on the butt end is the large green crystal . Everything is amazing . ”

“Good, good . You like it . ”

Zaga looks excited, showing a pleased expression .

Hehe, such an incredible weapon .

A smile invades my face .

“-I am extremely pleased . It’s because of Zaga and Bonn as well as the material . ”

“Gahaha, you flatter us . ”

Zaga laughs .

Moving the magic spear cane, the metal catches the light coming through a window, and I see the pattern like the ripple of the sword .

“…This large red blade also looks sharp . ”

“Umu . As you can see, the large blade uses part of the red horn . It will produce a fire attribute attack if hit . However, the most brutal part is the rectangular blue dragon magic stone on the butt end . ”

Zaga’s eyes are sharp, he points to the back end and explains .

“This . ”

Surely, it’s blue . This large crystal .

“That’s right . If you inject mana into the crystal, water attribute magic can be released, stronger than a magic gem . However, even greater than the magic is the hardness of the crystal and its flexibility . If someone uses the crystal as a mace, it will be an even more brutal weapon . ”

Hmmmm . Zaga said it’s brutal, but it looks beautiful .

“Filth will also be removed if mana is injected, so maintaining the blade is unnecessary . Furthermore, its strength has increased because of Bonn’s enchantment, so you won’t have to worry . ”

Oooooh, what a convenient function .

All right, all right, all right . After hearing that, the tension increases .

“…Wao, really . This anticipation is incredible . Now I want to test it . ”

“Wait, wait, don’t be so rushed . Besides, you haven’t seen the armor and overcoat?”

Zaga seems pleased by my reaction, smirking while he talks .

“N, Enchanto…”

Bonn nods his head and pats his belly as if to say “Calm down, youngster,” patting me on the back .

This, it feels like Bonn-kun is advising me .

Ma, I won’t think about it .

“…That’s right,, I want to put it on . First is this purple scale mail with the striking design of a dragon . The gauntlets also look good . The purple thigh armor is also reliable . The purple boots connect perfectly with the shins . These grieves . The light gray overcoat is also subdued . ”

Like that, I take off the ragged armor I’m wearing, remove the arm guard and cuirass I’ve been wearing for so long, and install the new items .

“Ooh, it’s suitable, like a purple knight . ”

“Enchant . ”

It seems I’ve become a purple knight .

It fits around the hips . As expected of Zaga and Bonn .

They made the armor from the commander ant, so I already recognized their mastery, but this made evaluate them in an entirely different light .

It is truly beautifully made .

The bones of the ancient dragon are used in the curve of the chest and other places, making it sturdy .

It’s probably closer to full armor than scale mail .

On the left side of the chest, there is an engraving of a purple dragon, drawn in a dark purple possessing the luster of the halberd, outlined in silver .

The material of the evil dragon king was used as a lining, it feels soft like rubber .

There is a hole around the left wrist, and the purple armor on the back of the hands is good .

Moreover, they resemble thimble gloves .

I can open and close my hand with no discomfort .

You are reading story The Spearmaster and the Black Cat at novel35.com

This, doesn’t it fire you up? I want to make a pose .

The simple construction of the right vambrace .

From from right wrist to the shoulder it exposed the skin… But I think it will be good .

On the other hand, the scaly armor on the left arm is characteristic .

The hole where the chain ejects looks like the mouth of a dragon .

The tail of a purple dragon curls up my arms to cover my left shoulder .

Solid shaping .

Not only the appearance was taken into consideration, like the vambrace, but it also has a guard that takes range of motion into account .

To make such a thing in around only ten days, they are overflowing with ability .

There is a leather belt around the back, I adjust it to make sure it is around the hips .

A part of the left is also worn . The overlapping purple steel curraiss .

The purple scales were used abundantly .

The ankles to the toes are also well armored .

“The scales and bones of the evil dragon king are used, so its strength is foremost . You should also try wearing the belt on the back and this overcoat . ”

“Understood . ”

The overcoat is gray, but in the light there is a slight purple sheen .

An emblem resembling a cross and book is embroidered on the chest .

I wear the gray overcoat . I run my fingers over the smooth cloth .

I tug one of the corners deliberately .

Despite its appearance, the cloth is durable, and it also feels nice .

The interior also feels cool for some reason .

There’s also a hood behind my neck, it’s designed in such a way that the hood is striped with ashy purple .

The gray overcoat wraps around so it can cover everything .

And, finally the chest belt .

I rotate it from the right shoulder of the overcoat to the chest .

The belt is fastened at a slant .

Knives can be stored here, and there is a large number of square pockets .

Small items can be kept in these pockets .

The bag substitutes for a backpack, and there are metal fittings where the weapons can be attached .

I probably have the appearance of a veteran adventurer now .

“Fumu . Won’t travelers be able to see you’re not a person to mess with?”

“Enchanto . ”

“Nyan . ”

Rollo raises a voice too, gets down from the table and rubs her head on my purple boot .

Since it’s a new item, is she attaching her smell to it?

When I’m looking at such a Rollo, Zaga opens his mouth .

“The specially made cloth the overcoat is made from used a special silver thread extracted from the viscous liquid of silver voruku . Along with a special thread and advanced sewing techniques, a lot of time and effort went into making that . It has physical and magic resistance . And then, did you notice that the inside is cool?”

It seems to be .

“Certainly, it is cool . Is this magic?”

“That’s correct . It’s thanks to wind and water magic . It’s connected to the black embroidery on the chest . That emblem is the crest of the god of wisdom’s blessing . The origin seems to be modeled after Iliad-kami’s saintly corpse fabric, ma, this is a replica since it used wind and water magic, but the effect is still considerable for the person who wears it . Using Bonn’s unique enchanting, powdered dragon scales were infused into the fabric . It feels like cloth, but its defense is higher than the maximum grade of metal armor . ”

Hoaaa, amazing .

I don’t know what silver voruku is, but it sounds good .

And the cooling magic is perfect .

“…Iya, this is extraordinary . Feeling cool while wearing armor will be good . ”

“Right? In fact, the most expensive one including the defense is the overcoat . I got it from a large trading company, but I’m glad you’re satisfied too . ”

“Or course . I’m completely satisfied . ”

“And then, so it doesn’t get in the way during a fight, the overcoat can slit open and be pulled back . Although, that will make the defense in the front fall . ”

I see, it’s not a soft rubber rail (TL: Beats me), I move to fold up the cloth .

I don’t think rubber is used, but it is made cleverly .

It’s completed here by the fabric and embroidery . The craftsman who made this is another expert .

“Lastly, there is the blue ancient dragon eye and the scales of the ancient dragon number several hundred . Parts of the teeth were used and sharpened into daggers . The long fangs were made into simple long swords . There are multiple small fangs, but their lengths all made different daggers . I also sold some of the dragon whiskers, but some are left over . As for the meat, tongue, uvula, cheekbones, jawbone, ears, and the portion of sales sold, they came to ten white gold coins and thirteen large gold coins . ”

Oh, wow, large gold coins .

Moreover, large gold coins are worth are worth a hundred with gold coins .

Thirteen of them, fantastic .

It’s such an amount, but captain Cecily refused the reward .

Honor over money, the hero who chose her duty .

If it’s like that, I can understand her bitter expression at the dinner party .

Her pride is strong enough to refuse a reward from the Marquess .

Though she isn’t convinced, she’ll continue being called the hero of the evil dragon subjugation .

However, maa…

“…That’s an enormous amount of money .

“Yeah, I was able to sell the tongue, jawbone, and ears . However, the one that sold the highest was the ancient dragon whiskers . It’s something that isn’t typically sold on the market . I talked with underground auction about it . It seems to be a unique item . An acquaintance who works at a large trading firm told me . From what I hear, even if the market prices fall this will still be the price . ”

The staff of a large trading firm? I heard him mention a large trading firm before…

Zaga has a good acquaintance .

Maa, the craftsman who makes such an article…

Frankly, they should have good connections .

“…That’s surprising, however, for everything and anything, thank you . ”

“Iya, iya, to have a non-noble customer like Shuya, it’s my pleasure . ”

Zaga laughs unusually .

“I see, however, so much money…”

“Fumu . However, top rank adventurers working with large trading companies will handle more . Ma, it shouldn’t be strange for Shuya to become rich . There are still some scales and fangs yet to be sold . ”

Saying that I take a look at the gold coins and the fangs and scales .

“…The remainder isn’t actually that much . Zaga, Bonn, thank you . You can even sell the raw materials for proper equipment . ”

“…Don’t thank us so many times . We’re the ones who want to express our gratitude . For such great material, not even 【Labyrinth City Pernette】 could produce something so amazing . You let us dwarf brothers handle it . Shuya, thank you . Besides…weren’t our gains also considerable?”

“Haha, that’s right, we both benefited . ”

We both smile and laugh .

“Ah, there’s something else we’d like to request . ”

“Enchanto . ”

Bonn says as if to communicate “That’s right . ”

I smile back at Bonn .

And, after placing the scales, fangs, and gold coins in the item box, I remember the carriage stopped in front of the shop .

“…That reminds me, there’s a wagon out front, are you going somewhere?”

“We’re going to move to 【Labyrinth City Pernette】 and join a dwarf clan there . We’re able to afford it thanks to Shuya . Our work should increase in【Pernette】 . However, the main reason is that we want more excitement . The materials from the ancient dragon stirred mine and Bonn’s heart . So, we’re thinking of making our name for ourselves in 【Pernette】 where there is better material . ”

Is that so…

Ora, getting excited . It’s like the Monkey King, trembling with excitement .

It’s natural for craftsmen .

“Starting anew . Congratulations . So you’re heading to Pernette right away?”

“Ah, our work here is over . It’s still going to take a little time . Also, I was waiting for Shuya . ”

“Enchanto . ”

Bonn answers enthusiastically .

“That’s right . …perhaps, I might go to labyrinth city Pernette one day . ”

“Hou, as expected . We’ll give you a discount when you come to our store . ”

“Haha, I’ll look for you then . I’m looking forward to your success . ”

“Gahahahaha, I’ll be waiting . ”

Zaga smiles and shakes his mustache .

“Well then, I’ll go . Rollo, let’s go . ”

“Ou, see ya . ”

“Enchanto, Enchanto!”

Zaga casually raises a hand, Bonn raises both his arms and pumps them .

I understand he is saying Bye-bye .

After waving back, I leave the dwarf’s store .

Now then, I’ve got my new equipment…

Should I resume traveling with popobumu?

Or should I use the third gate to contact the local people there?

I will return to the Inn first and then decide .

The shadow follows me still . I don’t worry and hurry to the inn .

All the way to the inn, I feel the magic essence following behind me .

Keeping a fixed distance, no contact is made .

As expected, when I return to the inn, the presence disappeared, but…

Ma, I won’t worry about it .

I place the magic spear cane Burdock in the item box .

I have to register it so I can summon it whenever I want .

First, I take out one copper coin and press storage .

First of all, I place the magic spear in the item box . (TL: Author writes Magic Spear Staff every time, but I’m going to use Magic Spear because it sounds better . )

Next, I press the person symbol .

As always, the outline of a deformed alien is displayed in the window .

The magic sword Bitou is shown in my left hand, in my right hand is a blank space .

I press the blank, and the magic spear Burdock is displayed .

Right away, I register Burdock in the blank for the right hand .

Equip Magic Spear Burdock in Right Hand? Y / N

Of course, I select Y .

I close the window and summon the magic spear .

-Summoned in an instant, the magic spear settles in my right hand .

Perfect . For a moment, I dismiss the weapon .

Now then, should I go to Holkerbam or investigate the gate locations?

I’ll decide with a coin toss . (TL: Okay, so I did translate that right . ) Heads is Holkerbam . Tails, gates .

I flip the coin and grab it out of the air .

When my hand opens, the coin is showing tales .

So, I decide gate first .

The lady who lives in the underground church, I will try to contact the locals .

Traveling to Holkerbam is postponed .

I take out the Zohedron Trap .

I trace the third symbol and activate the gate .

The scene on the other side of the gate appears, and the woman is changing her clothes .

When the woman notices the light coming from the mirror, she quickly grabs the front of her dress, covering her small breasts .

She corrects her clothes and arranges her hair, then approaches the mirror and bows .

Like that, she brings her hands together and begins to pray .

I think I surprised her…

I’ll go through the mirror .
