This knight is too perfect

Chapter 25 The Sword in the Stone
"Hey, old man, are you still basking in the sun?"

"Have you completed all the tasks assigned by the Baron before he left? Then you can start to rest here."

"Aren't you afraid that when the Baron comes back, he will use his heavy knight boots to kick your lazy ass hard?"

Outside a blacksmith shop in the backyard of the castle, Fergus saw from a distance a figure lying under a big tree, basking in the sun leisurely, and joked with laughter.

After hearing what Fergus said, the man immediately sat up and pointed at him and cursed.

"Fergus! This is my territory. I can sleep wherever and whenever I want. What's it to you?"

"I'm warning you. If I find out that you have secretly reported me again when the Baron comes back, I will be in trouble."

"I, Ron, swear to the God of Craftsmen that I will smash your talkative mouth with my big hammer before the Baron's knight boots kick my ass!"

Faced with such explosive remarks, Fergus was not tolerant.

So, Ron, the only official knight under Baron Angelo and also the only extraordinary blacksmith under him, started to curse Fergus from a distance without any scruples on the spot.

Rhine originally thought that Fergus's voice was loud enough, almost like thunder.

But compared to the knight Ron in front of him, who was sloppy, had a big mustache on his face and was short in stature.

Fergus's voice is nothing more than a boombox.

The voice of this Knight Ron is a real megaphone!

Because Rhine is currently estimated to be twenty meters away from this person.

But he was forced to cover his ears with his hands.

Rhine even suspected that Knight Roan didn't even need to use weapons. His voice alone was enough to kill the three soul stealers from yesterday.

After arguing with each other for a while, perhaps both of them were a little tired, so they chose to take a break in halftime at the same time.

Fergus didn't waste any time. He ignored Ron's disgusted expression, led Rhine to Ron's side, and began to introduce them.

"Rhine, this person is the second most powerful person in our castle after Lord Baron Angelo. He is a formal Black Iron Knight of the Forge, and also the only extraordinary blacksmith in the castle."

"Don't think this guy is just an old man at the entrance of the village just because he looks sloppy. In fact... in fact, he is just an old man at the entrance of the village, hahahaha!"

"Fergus, look at the hammer!"

Before Fergus could finish his words, Ron, who was already red-hot, immediately grabbed the big hammer beside him and tried to hit Fergus hard.

But then again, Fergus knew Ron inside out.

Because almost at the same time when Ron jumped up, Fergus dodged ahead of him as if he had anticipated it, and said arrogantly: "Old man, your hammer doesn't seem to work either. Why does it look so soft?"

"I think you've been lazy too much, which is why you can't even swing a hammer now."

"Brother, I'm not saying anything bad to you. You should find a chance to exercise more while you still have time. Don't wait until you want to exercise, only to find that you don't even have the chance to do so."

Hearing this, Ron, who also knew Fergus well, naturally heard the other hidden meanings in his words.

So Ron immediately picked up the big hammer that was almost as tall as him and said unhappily, "I knew you were up to no good when you suddenly came to me. Come on, stop talking to me about this and follow me."

Fergus first looked at Ron's back, then raised his eyebrows at Rhine next to him.

It seems to be saying, look, the communication between extraordinary people is so simple and unpretentious.

Rhine didn't know what to say for a moment.

He glanced at the small dent next to him that was made by Ron's casual hammer, and had no doubt that if Fergus had not dodged it just now.

Even if he didn't die, he was definitely not far from death.

And you call this kind of communication simple and unpretentious?

Rhine didn't understand and was shocked.

However, Rhine had a lot to say.

But a wise knight should know when to speak and when to remain silent.

So, the smart Rhine chose to follow Fergus without saying a word and entered Ron's exclusive blacksmith shop together.

Different from the simplicity we just saw outside.

As soon as he entered the blacksmith shop, Rhine felt the heat wave coming towards him.

In this blacksmith shop, there were several strong apprentices concentrating on making equipment.

Ron ignored these apprentices and led Fergus and Rhine directly to a small room at the innermost part.

This is Ron's most private place, so private that even Baron Angelo must get his permission first if he wants to enter here.

After all, rashly breaking into the "treasure house" of an extraordinary person is tantamount to declaring war on the other party.

Ron stood in his own treasure house, pointing at the weapons and equipment behind him, which were not many in number but each had its own characteristics, and said very straightforwardly: "Take your pick, I want to see what good stuff you can take away from me today." "Let me make it clear first, although the things here are not as rich as the church's treasure house, they are also very precious."

"You know the rules of the Beyonders. Friendship is friendship, and transactions are transactions. Therefore, if you can't give me something that satisfies me, I won't let you take away my treasures."

Fergus smiled and nodded, then after looking around, he asked in confusion: "Old man, I remember you have a weapon that is very suitable for the Beyonders on the Destiny side, right?"

"Where did you put that thing and why can't I find it?"

When Ron heard Fergus talking about the weapon, he was stunned at first, then seemed to understand something and looked at Rhine with interest.

"So, this child is the real reason why you came to see me this time?"

"A rare, almost extinct, extraordinary person on the side of fate."

"Yes."

After getting this answer, Ron immediately pointed to the side of Ferg and said, "Look at your feet. The thing you are talking about...isn't it just placed there?"

Hearing Ron's words, Fergus immediately turned around to look.

I saw a big stone placed next to him.

And on the big rock, there was a bare sword handle stuck in it.

With a little curiosity, Fergus went straight to the point and tried to pull the sword out of the stone.

The strange thing was that no matter how hard he tried, the sword that was embedded in the stone didn't move at all.

So much so that after trying for a while without success, Fergus let go of his hand and said angrily: "No, are you sure you can really pull this thing out?"

Hearing this, Ron immediately looked at him with contempt.

"Fergus, you used to be a church knight, but I didn't expect you can't even figure out such a simple question."

"Are you a Destiny-side Extraordinary? Then pull it out. You don't have this ability, you know."

"Get out of the way and let the kid come."

Then, Ron looked at Rhine and said seriously, "Kid, if you can really pull it out, not only can I give you the sword for free, I can even..."

"no!"

Fergus interrupted Ron before he could finish.

And this time, Fergus was no longer the playful guy as before, but became extremely serious and earnest.

"Ron, you and I are no longer rookies in the Extraordinary World. There is no free lunch in the Extraordinary World. I think you should also be aware of this."

"So don't try to deceive my disciples of Fergus with this kind of bullshit free stuff. Either we trade or we leave. Do you understand?"

Ron looked at Fergus, who was like a lion protecting his cub. After a moment's stalemate, he was finally defeated.

He raised his hands and said helplessly, "Okay, okay, let's make a deal. This time it's just a deal."

"But let me make it clear first. If this is just a deal without any other bargaining chips, then the price of this sword... you, Fergus, may not be able to afford it."

Hearing this, Fergus returned to his playful self again.

"Ah, old friend, you are looking down on me."

"Although I have wasted a lot of money on the curse over the years, I was once a Holy Light Knight of the church, so don't worry, I, Fergus, can definitely afford the price of this sword."

Ron glanced at the confident Fergus suspiciously, as if he was seriously trying to determine whether he could still squeeze money out of this poor guy.

But based on his friendship with Fergus, he finally chose to believe what Fergus said.

"Okay, let the kid try. After all, I'm also curious whether he can really pull out the sword."

After getting the consent from his master Ron, Fergus immediately looked at Rhine and said, "Go ahead, Rhine, I believe in you."

Rhine nodded and walked straight towards the sword in the stone in the corner.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but as he got closer to the sword in the stone, the witch ring on his left hand became hotter and hotter.

It was as if there was some connection between the sword in the stone and the witch's ring that Rhine was unaware of.

As Fergus and Ron looked expectantly at him, Rhine grasped the hilt of the Sword in the Stone with his right hand and began to try to pull it out...
