The Only Aura User In Magic World

Chapter 804 - 804 Meeting the Blacksmith



As we got close to the smithy, just about twenty meters from there, the old bearded man inside the smithy noticed us. He’s not alone. He has a little girl with him in the house. Probably around the age of eleven or twelve. About the same age as Daniel. She’s probably his granddaughter.

“We are guests looking for the blacksmith who crafted this knife. Can we meet you?” I asked politely.

“We’re closed right now!” the blacksmith said.

“We just want to ask you some questions,” I said.

While I talked to him from afar, I also checked the smithy with my Divine Vision. There are a lot of high quality products. But most of them are shaped weirdly. Like they just came from his imagination. Like the one who made it never seen what a sword or spear is. They look fancy but the quality seems decent.

It’s like he’s making those things for fun. But I don’t mind that.

If it’s just weapons, then Victoria can transform into anything she wants. And she can teach him more about weapons.

Looking at the products he created, I can think of one thing that he can help us most. He can help Marie with her invention.

.....

With Marie’s intellect and this guy’s crafting skill, the products they created will be better than before. Though I want him mostly for his weapon-making skill.

“I refuse to come out!”

Then the old blacksmith goes to grab the girl inside the house and looks like he’s trying to protect her. We’re not here to fight though.

“Don’t worry. We’re not here looking for a fight. We’re genuinely interested in the weapons you crafted,” the tamer I brought here said.

We were looking for monsters as we ran to this place. But there were no monsters at all. I can guess that it was because of that blacksmith who is also an expert level mage. He probably killed the monsters on the way. So the tamer couldn’t find any monsters to tame.

Well, even if there are any, if an expert level mage can defeat them, I don’t think the tamer will be interested in taming them.

“H-How did you know what I’m doing?!”

“It’s either because we’re at the same level as you are, or that we’re stronger,” the tamer said.

For someone who lives for so long already, he doesn’t have much patience.

I want to talk with the blacksmith peacefully. But he just make the blacksmith hostile toward us. Even the little girl looks like she’s about to cry.

“Hey, the girl inside is about to cry. Stop threatening them,” I said.

“I’m not threatening them. I just stated the truth. We’re all stronger than him. Oh, wait! He’s not, right?”

The tamer realized that there could be someone weaker than the blacksmith. It’s the summoner.

The summoner is just an advanced level mage in his other elements. And he doesn’t even have a familiar to protect him. As for the tamer, he’s still has another element he has reached expert level. So he can protect himself at least.

“I can protect myself. I’m still a master level mage. I can sense when he’s trying to attack me. And I can dodge before the magic is cast. So don’t worry about me,” the summoner said calmly.

Right after he said that, the door to the entrance was destroyed by the blacksmith himself. Then he cast a powerful fire magic at his level. But it’s much hotter than fire magic that Candy cast. He might be better at fire magic than Candy. At least his magic control to manipulate the temperature of the fire is much better.

The fire is going toward our direction. And the three master level mages are prepared to take that magic. They either prepared to use their magic or to dodge it.

And I just stood there with the knife I got from the restaurant prepared in my hand.

As the huge Fireball getting closer, I quickly moved forward and split the Fireball using the Aura-covered knife. The Fireball was split and none of us were harmed.

“Whoa! He just cut magic so easily. I wish I can be that strong,” the tamer said

“It’s too late for us to learn it. It’s best to for us get stronger our own way,” the fire mage said.

“Or we can just make a contract with a monster that can do that. Maybe there’s a monster out there that can block magic,” the summoner said to the fire mage.

A monster that can block magic, huh? If there are any, I would love to make a contract with one. But until I reach master level, I don’t have any opening slot for my familiar. And I don’t want to kill any of the ones I have.

Well, I’ll look for one when I reach master level. It’s not the time yet.

“You! How did you do that?!”

After I split the Fireball in two, the blacksmith came out and excitedly asked me how I could split his magic in two. His granddaughter who was hugging him before was left inside the house as the blacksmith is running toward me.

“That’s the knife that I sold in the city before. But it has been used badly for so long. And I don’t think it was because of my knife. Then it means that you’re using some kind of technique, right? Finally! Someone who can make my dream come true!”

...I guess he’s just another freak. From what he said, I guess he created so many weapons hoping that some kind of expert will come and notice his creation and use them. And he found me! Or should I say that I’m the one who find him?

“Then if you don’t mind, let’s have a chat first. Maybe we can help each other’s dream,” I said.

He will make me the best weapon and armor, while I can use his creation to destroy the cult. That would be nice.

Though if he, or even her granddaughter, is somehow related to the cult, then there might not be any cooperation at all.

“Ah, wait!”

As soon as he said that, he went back to his house and stand in front of the entrance. With his granddaughter behind him. I guess he’s still can’t put his trust in me yet.

“Sorry. I won’t leave you again,” the blacksmith said to the little girl.

Anyway, his magic was great. His fire was hotter than even the fire that Candy created even though they are the same level. That fire might be the reason how his creation has such high quality. He can control the fire while crafting weapons.

But for now, let’s think about how we should negotiate with him. I want him to create at least one weapon with me.

The sword for the sword-cane. The hidden sword inside the cane. It’s only good to use because I can use Aura to increase its durability. But if I can get a better quality sword, then even when I can’t use magic or Aura, I can still at least protect myself with it.

Even if it’s not a magic weapon or an Aura weapon, a better sword is still preferable. Though I wonder why he kept making weapons. Maybe someone ordered them.

For what? The only reason I can think of is for show. Like a theater or circus. Though for my circus, I let the performers borrow some Blobbies for their props. We use those Blobbies for knives juggling, knife throwing, axe throwing, and for other props.

Wait. I think I have seen more weapon used for performance than for fighting. Not counting the spears that the angels used or the blood swords that the vampires used.

If he can make more weapons for my monsters, that would be great. The angels can get stronger. And the vampires no longer need to waste their blood for weapons anymore.

“So, who are you? And why do you have monsters with you? Are you a tamer or summoner?” the blacksmith only asked me that.

“Well, I’m a summoner indeed. As for monster, if you’re talking about this Black Slime, then it is my familiar. As for that ghost, she’s a friend. Don’t worry about her since she used to be a human. She won’t bite,” I said.

“You’re talking about me as if I’m some sort of a dog. Though I do feel like my job nowadays is to watch the house. So I feel like being a watchdog,” Sonia said.

“I don’t believe you... Wait, where are you going?”

Now that I don’t think he will harm us anymore, it’s time to bring the guy that he has no choice but to believe. The king of this country, old man Henry.

I walked to an open space and opened a portal. He became wary of me but I ignored him. He won’t attack me mindlessly like before since he knows now that I’m stronger than him.

The portal opened and old man Henry and his grand aunt, Halley, entered.

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Blacksmith. I’m the King of Varadis, Henry. We have a favor to ask you.”
