This adventurer is overly righteous.

Chapter 137 Apology

"Mr. Croya, please allow me to reintroduce myself." Only Croya and Merian were at the table, waiting for the strangely-looking chef to serve the food. At this moment, Merian couldn't help but speak up.

She introduced herself, mentioning which bard she had studied under, which noblemen and wealthy merchants she had performed for, and the poems she had written for heroic adventurers.

"Therefore, I believe that if you, Mr. Chroya, wish to become an adventurer in the future, I can be your loyal collaborator," Merian said confidently. "I can help you gain fame, and of course, this will also be extremely beneficial to me..."

The relationship between bards and heroic adventurers is mutually beneficial. A famous hero will also bring fame to the poems praising his achievements, and this fame will in turn benefit the bard.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for bards to write poems to promote their favorite future heroes. After all, there are too many poems praising a famous hero, and often only the first few become widely known, while the later imitations are ignored unless they are of exceptionally high quality.

If Croa were willing, Merian would immediately decide to support him as a hero.

"I have no desire for fame, and being a hero isn't something I want to do," Kroya shook his head. "So, forget about it."

If Kroya really wanted to become famous, all he had to do was walk into the church with his sword of judgment—the title of a new generation of saints was not something that some so-called hero-level adventurer could just bluff about.

"Then may I write a poem based on Mr. Croya?" Merian asked again. She hadn't expected Croya to refuse at first. Many passionate verses had already appeared in her mind, and it would be a pity to waste them.

Passion is an extremely important element for creation.

"As long as no one guesses it's me, there won't be a problem." Kroya thought for a moment and felt that it didn't really matter.

"Grilled rock-shelled lizard, rock moss burrito, and sandstone honey tea..."

'

During the conversation, the chef served the dishes. Kroya then began to concentrate on eating, while Merian looked at the strange and unusual food, unsure of where to begin.

After a hearty meal, Kroya parted ways with Merian and returned to the camp's blacksmith shop, paying for the rental of the forge to repair his weapons.

This time, Kroya's armor was damaged far more severely than when he faced the elven hero. The dire wolves charged from all directions, and if it weren't for the armor protecting him, he would have been torn to shreds long ago.

sheet.

Kroya possessed the divine blessing of "craftsmanship," and thus he could clearly sense that the armor he wore was emitting a mournful wail.

Fortunately, this was still within the scope of what Kroya could protect. In addition, the forging hammer he obtained from the dwarf hero was also a magical item. Kroya swung it and felt it was extremely light, but it became extremely heavy the moment he swung it down, which saved him strength.

What truly troubled Kroya was the Dragon Heart Sword.

Kroya drew it from its sheath, held it in both hands, and examined it carefully.

With Kroya removing the restrictions that Legin had placed on it, the Dragonheart Sword is now drawing magic at a dangerous and uncontrollable rate.

Although the Dragon Heart Sword itself was not damaged, whenever Kroya used it to draw magic power, the scene of fighting the evil spirit would reappear—it had become a one-time use magical item.

It's just that its power is terrifying.

Unless Kroya can re-establish the restriction on the Dragon Heart Sword, he probably won't be able to use the charged slash as recklessly as before.

However, Lejin's craftsmanship was still extremely high, far surpassing that of Kroya. The complexity of the restrictions he had left behind exceeded Kroya's forging level, and he had no way to replicate them.

"However, since this Dragon Heart Sword can only be used once, let's just inscribe the rune of the Charged Slash on it."

Having the experience of forging those two rune swords before, Kroya believed that he could do this one too.

Since it can only be used once anyway, let's just maximize its power.

"Even runes related to other skills can be added..."

Kroya pondered, since it was a disposable product and stability and durability were not a concern, his design could be more radical.

With this in mind, Kroya swung the forging hammer he had obtained from the dwarf hero.

At night, Kroya finished forging and prepared to return to his tent to rest, but he found that the others did not seem to be sleeping. Instead, they were chatting together, so he joined them.

"We're almost done saving up enough money," Tiki said, his voice tinged with emotion.

Now, Tiki, Guise, and Lillian have a considerable amount of gold coins combined. If it weren't for the fact that hiring a special caravan to transport grain to the North would cost a lot of money, they could have left long ago.

"Don't talk about this..." Carter interrupted Tiki's words as he saw the situation was getting out of hand, and turned to ask Kroya instead.

"Kroya, did you go see Warren the Demon Sword today? He still owes us a lot of money."

"I know, one hundred gold coins." Kroya nodded; of course he remembered it.

"I think he'll find out we're back soon, since Merian's back too. He'll come looking for us then if he's willing to admit his mistakes and beg for forgiveness."

"But if he doesn't show up soon, then I'll go find him."

Then, Croa asked Tiki.

"Tiki, how much do you know about evil spirits? I suspect that evil spirit might not be dead."

The basis for the suspicion came from the small print in the lower left corner of Croa's line of sight.

You punished the evil spirit that desecrated the dignity of the dead, earning the applause of the gods.

The fact that the statement showed sanctions rather than killings inevitably aroused suspicion in Croa.

"Evil spirits have many incarnations, and their true forms are likely hidden in the North. It is very difficult to kill them completely unless the power of other spirits is used," Tiki replied.

"The Misty Forest may still contain remnants of its power, but I think we have already dealt it a heavy blow, so there is no need to worry too much."

"It can only prolong its life for a while at most, after all, evil spirits cannot stay outside the North for long." A very polite voice interrupted Tiki's explanation. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that the newcomer was a hero-level adventurer carrying a longbow.

"I am a friend of Warren the Demon Sword. He entrusted me to express his sincere apologies to everyone and have prepared gifts in the hope of asking for your forgiveness."

The man said sincerely.

Simply sending someone else to apologize while hiding away and refusing to see anyone—this attitude can hardly be considered sincere.
