Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 40

After finishing our conversation, we went inside and saw Chelsie finished paying for Alice's new sword.

Chelsie approaches Alice and gives it to her; she holds the sword in her hands to get a feel for it.

"What do you think?"

Chelsie asked what Alice thought of it, which she said

"It fits perfectly and feels really good to use."

"That is good."

As Chelsie and Alice were talking about the sword, Maria, who had been looking at the weapons closely, asked.

"Umm, Mr. Kinwall?"

"Just call me Kinwall, and what is it?"

"Oh, okay, umm... Kinwall, what kind of metal did you use to make these weapons? They don't seem to be just made out of normal iron."

Kinwall chuckled for a bit and grinned and told her.

"That is an amazing observation; you must be an excellent alchemist to see it."

A bit embarrassed by the compliment, Maria said.

"I can't say I'm that excellent, but I can see the mixture of metals in these weapons here is very different from the ones you see in other shops. What did you put in them if you don't mind me asking?"

"If you really want to know, I added Mythril in them."

Hearing the word Mythril, there was a long silence, followed by a big shout of "Heh?!" from everyone.

Kinwall grinned like he found it funny.

"Surprised?"

Alex, Wendy, and Maria looked at the weapons in their hands that they were examining and immediately held them like they were expensive, fine, fragile pieces of art. Alice also immediately held her sword with more care because Mythril ore is already rare enough that nobles tend to have a hard time getting it, plus ones forged by a dwarf are even rarer.

Everyone then turns to me, and Alex asks how I am not surprised.

I shrugged my shoulders and just said.

"Kinwall told me a while back, plus all of my weapons have Mythril in them too."

They were surprised again by my blank response, which I surprised them even more by saying.

"You should be more surprised at why there is Mythril in them in the first place. He works with Mythril quite a lot and even rarer metals, so he tends to put the leftover scraps into his creations because he thinks it would be a waste not to use them."

They became even more surprised, causing Alex to ask who Kinwall really was.

I looked at Kinwall, and he nodded yes for me to tell.

"He is apparently a famous blacksmith who has worked for royalty and really high-level adventurers. Due to that, unsavory nobles tend to pester him quite a lot to work for them. It's the reason why he moves around so much, so he doesn't have to deal with those nobles."

After everyone was surprised and their jaws dropped for the last time, then calmed down, we left the shop and said goodbye since we had gotten what we needed.

Then I said goodbye to everyone else and that I was going back to my inn because it was the afternoon today and I decided to make the rest of the day a lazy day.

Back in my inn, I look through the piles of books in my room to look for a certain book. The book I picked up was titled The Tales of the World.

This book caught my eye when I was at Mila's shop buying books about making magical tools.
