I Became a Foreigner Loved by Transcendentalists

16 – Episode 16. Good!!!

Anyway, after meeting the death knight that day, I began to live in the world with more passion than before.

No matter how sh*tty the life is in this sh*tty world, I learned that there are people in this world who can at least affirm such a life.

Well, the reason he spared my life was because he thought I might become his comrade in the future, but you don’t have to worry about that right now.

So, let’s stop being depressed for a while and live hard until we get to where we can…….

“By the way, where would you like to find the equipment?”

Anyway, thanks to Vivian, we must have raised more money than we had planned.

I finally felt that the time had come to escape from the life of a porter, so I took the time to look around the streets of the workshop to get the necessary equipment before officially registering as an adventurer.

As it is adjacent to the place where adventurers mainly reside, there are also many workshops, filling each street.

As the world is so chaotic, there is always a need for equipment, so I thought it wouldn’t be difficult to get equipment when I arrived.

If only I had a proper position as an adventurer.

“Anyway, equipment isn’t all about finding a good weapon.”

If this were a game, I would just pick a weapon that matches my level and funds and wipe them all out, but this place where I am is strictly reality.

Unlike games where you can kill an enemy with one hit if you are still alive, in reality, if you are hit once and you cannot withstand the enemy’s attack, you will not be able to counterattack and will fall down.

No matter how goblin you are, once you get the mount position right, even an adult man can fall victim to a one-sided beating, so if you have to get one, it will be armor rather than a weapon.

Of course, there are appropriate types of armor for each position, so you may need to think about what type to choose.

“Of course, magic is impossible, and things like bows require a lot of skill, so it won’t be easy to master them right away…”

As expected, the only ones left are the vanguard who directly fight with the enemy or receive physical attacks.

However, even though I have the physical ability trained as a porter, my physical aptitude is only in the upper C rank, which is below the B rank, which is the recommended condition for those who usually perform the main tank position.

Not only do I lose all my stamina when I move my body while wearing heavy armor, but it is currently impossible for me to take the enemy’s attack from the front while holding a shield.

So, a lineman position that focuses on light equipment rather than heavy equipment can be said to be the most suitable position for me right now.

“…I have to buy light equipment for the optimal position. This will cost me quite a bit of money.”

After all, materials that are relatively light but durable are more expensive than heavy equipment that can be made rigidly.

However, if you do not pay attention to your armor, it is easy to end up scoring a goal due to an unexpected attack.

In the end, this may also be the price paid for the excessive greed of dreaming of becoming an adventurer while living as a foreigner. I thought about it and snorted for a moment.

-Cudangtang!

Just as I was passing by, I heard the sound of something turning over, and my eyes naturally began to move towards that place.

The first thing that caught my eye were the grumpy men who knocked down the store’s sign.

And the sight of them holding the equipment in their hands and questioning the craftsman in the shop.

“Hey, you’re running a crappy business!”

“I heard he was a famous craftsman, so I trusted him, but what can I do with this!? “Why hasn’t the scar here been properly filled?”

Men yelling and pointing at the scarred parts of their armor.

It seemed like the people who had entrusted the request were picking on something that was unclear, but to me, watching from afar, it really seemed like a trivial matter.

Of course, if a car gets damaged, it will break in hundreds, but if it is an armor that is basically meant to be damaged, can’t that be ignored?

“Well, if I touched that part just to make up for it, there was a risk that the balance of the entire equipment would be lost, so I left it alone. Even if it is used as is, it has been repaired so that there are no functional problems…….”

“No, that doesn’t mean it can’t be fixed!”

“You know that as long as you can use that equipment, everything will work!? “No matter what, it has to look good!”

“Calm down. I did the best I could to meet your demands, but it would be difficult if it came out like this now…….”

“It’s not you who’s in trouble, it’s us! “Do you think it makes sense to accept money as money when you can’t fix even one thing like this!?”

“If I can’t carry out a request properly, I shouldn’t have to return the money!”

… I get the idea.

Those guys are trying to make up for their losses by doing the truth.

It may be quite unpleasant to look at, but ironically, he is nothing more than an outsider with no ability to help.

If I come forward myself, the number of victims will only increase, so the best I can do is to call in the guards.

“If you don’t want to return the money, let’s go to court!”

“Quit your business and prepare to eat beans and rice!!”

But it’s a bit annoying that these guys are increasing the intensity of their truth.

Most gangsters know that public power is scary, but does it mean that they believe it that much when they mess around in the middle of the street?

“Hey, what are they doing over there right now!?”

With such a confident attitude, I was momentarily conflicted about whether to report it or not.

Someone on my behalf, who had been watching the situation from a distance, soon began to storm into where they were.

An old man with balding hair and a face full of wrinkles.

It looked dangerous as he was guiding his trembling body while pointing at the ground with his cane, but his anger towards them was clearly visible on his angry face.

“These guys who haven’t even had blood on their heads… …. Where are you? You told me the truth and fell asleep!? “Why don’t you guys go home right now!?”

“Ha, I thought someone would break in, but it turned out to be wrong.”

“Turn your attention to that and get out of here. “You open your mouth for no reason, and I, who had rested all this time, start shaking.”

The gangsters speak in a sarcastic tone despite the old man’s scolding.

“Hey, you old bastards. Not only does it cause trouble on the street, but it also shows no respect…… !”

“Huh, respect? “You’re not even my family, so why should I respect you?”

“You think you’re great because you’ve barely survived until now. Young kids these days are very angry, and they actually hate old people who yell at them for getting older, huh?”

“That foul-tempered young man grew up to be me, you bastards!”

-Whoop!

An old man who threatens by swinging the cane he holds in his hand.

The gangsters, startled by the violent threat, took a step back and then began to look at him funny and giggle.

“Oh, oh. “Are these dying old people having a temper tantrum?”

“Ha, really, even if you say it kindly, it’s annoying.”

-Sereung

A gangster gets annoyed and pulls out the sword tied to his waist.

The luster and bloody feel of the blade of the sword showed that the blade he had was not an ordinary weapon.

“Hey, wait a minute. Are you okay? If I pull out my sword here, the real guards will come…….”

“hahahaha! What is there to be afraid of!? “There is a hero behind us, so even if something big happens, he will take care of it!”

Oh, that’s right. In the end, these guys also have a hard time believing in the warrior.

That was irritating again, but it just felt ironic that it actually works.

“Hey old man. Do you know what this knife reveals? “It’s called an auror. It’s an auror~”

Auror Blade.

The old man was glaring at me while holding his cane, as if he didn’t even consider it a threat, but as someone who knew his true identity, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.

Aurora is a technique that highlights the properties of a tool by concentrating mana.

Even an ordinary sword can have the power to cut steel and cut rocks into pieces if it has an aura, but handling it requires both the ability and skill to manipulate mana.

You can achieve this through tools rather than mastering it yourself, but the cost of the ‘magic tools’ that induce it is astronomical.

If you look at just the sword in your hand right now, it is a precious item that you would probably have to invest most of your money to obtain it.

But to use such an absurd weapon on the street? No matter how much of a warrior gang you are, you have to do even thoughtless things to the extent possible.

“… “Did you create an aura with just a weapon and no magic power?”

“hahahaha! It’s too late to regret it now! “Since I’ve already drawn my sword, I’m going to have to see blood on this side!”

But I have absolutely no way to stop it.

When I had no choice but to just watch from afar, the old man sighed deeply and began to gently lift the cane in his hand.

And he swings at the moment the sword is swung at him.

It is accurate without a single error. So that the wand can reach the aurors.

-Kwachaang!!!

And then the Aura Blade collapses into pieces with that light blow.

As the fragments rained down on the rainwater, my mouth opened reflexively as I watched the scene.

f*ck, what is that?

Auror blades that can slaughter even steel can be destroyed so easily?

“Eh…… ?”

The bully is also feeling such embarrassment.

But the old man seemed not to have any intention of giving him any time to understand the situation, and simply lifted the cane in his hand from its place again.

“Anyway, young people these days think they have achieved something as long as they go into debt and have the right equipment.”

“Oh, sleep, wait! Do you know how expensive this is…….”

“Teek (喝)!!!”

-Kwaang!

The gangster was hit squarely on the head by the cane being swung again.

With that blow, the bully who was thrown to the floor rolled his eyes and started throwing his body around on the spot.

He was foaming at the mouth as if rigor mortis had occurred.

“Ugh, geuh, geuh…” ….”

“Hey, hey, what’s wrong with you? Wake!”

In addition to the cut-off Auror Blade, another gangster looks at the old man in turns.

The old man, looking at him helpless, clicked his tongue as if he was pitiful and aimed the staff in his hand at his armor that had fallen on the floor.

“Anyway, just because the empty cart was noisy, those guys who had nothing special always grabbed people who were weaker than them, showed off their arrogance, and fell asleep.”

-Kwachang!

Metal armor that shatters with a single swing of a staff.

Perhaps a huge amount of money was invested in the armor, just like the Auror Blade, but even that seemed like nothing more than a piece of paper to the old man.

“Do you think the world will cater to you if you just say good equipment, no matter how expensive or cheap it is? Regardless of whether you are a warrior’s seed or something, get out of there right now! “Because there is no craftsman on this street who would sell equipment to ignorant bastards like you!”

“Hey, this crazy old man…” …. Damn it, wait and see! “I will never leave you alone!”

He felt angry, but his weapon was shattered and his companion had also fallen.

From noble mtl dot com

The trouble that broke out on the street came to an end when the gangster decided that he could no longer stay here and left the place, taking his fallen colleague with him.

“Aww, thank you again, old man.”

“There is nothing to be thankful for. Now I have nothing else to do but this…….”

An old man patting my shoulder while listening to his father-in-law’s gratitude.

He barely managed to drive out his thugs, but even so, his face was grim and grim, as if he was still astonished.

“Anyway, the damn guards are lenient even if they are called heroes, so they don’t even use their power against idiots like that. How will the world turn from now on? …. Huh?”

While I was complaining like that, my gaze turned towards me.

While his body was flinching, remembering what he had done before, he again showed signs of raising the cane in his hand and started yelling at me.

“What are you doing? Did you see it? Or are you trying to start a fight too!?”

“Oh, no, that can’t be possible! I just watched with fascination because what the old man was doing was so generous. hahahaha!”

There is no way we can start a fight.

I just saw that old man openly tearing apart the Auror Blade, but would he be crazy enough to start a fight?

“Well, actually, I wanted to stop him too, but since I’m a novice just starting out on an adventure, I guess I ended up only getting in the way… …. So I thought it was very fortunate that the old man stepped forward and stopped those guys.”

“… Hmm, is that so?”

Did my sincere explanation work?

Soon the old man withdrew the cane he was trying to lift and began stroking his beard.

“Well, okay. As long as you’re not trying to cause trouble, you should view it favorably. Even though he doesn’t have much power, his spirit is worth commending in that he doesn’t look kindly on those guys. “He is a proud young man that is rare these days.”

“hahahaha, thank you for your kind words.”

Okay, as long as you don’t cause any problems, there won’t be any trouble.

More than anything, the evaluation of me was positive, so I didn’t think it would be a problem to talk more boldly here.

“By the way, what about that old man? Actually, I came here to get some equipment. Do you know anything about this street? If it’s okay, I’d like to ask for some advice…….”

“hehehe! There’s no one in town who knows that better than me! “There’s a bench over there. Let’s bring a cup of tea and have a chat!”

No problem. You can become friends with anyone as long as you can communicate.

After recalling that fact once again, I followed the old man to the bench with a lighter heart.
