The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

Chapter 250 The Princess's Recruitment

Just to pull out a holy sword, two top human emblem wielders were injured and one went missing; the missing one was even a contemporary hero.

This is something that countless demons can only dream of.

"I thought the Holy Sword would only harm demons and monsters. It seems it's no different from an ordinary weapon."

Upon seeing the wounds on Tilisa's body, Vena had a very negative feeling towards the Holy Sword, and his words were full of disdain.

Upon hearing Vena's words, Tilisa smiled wryly: "Only you have the right to say such things."

There are countless legends about the Holy Sword on the mainland, but most of them only tell the story of who pulled out the Holy Sword, destroyed the evil demons and monsters, and finally lived happily ever after with the princess.

I've never heard of a version where the Holy Sword transforms into a human.

From this perspective alone, Wiener is indeed slightly better.

“It’s not that we are qualified,” Viner said, closing his eyes, “it’s that the title of Holy Sword is truly an overstatement.”

Since the first hero sealed the demon god, it wasn't just Arios and Tilisa who tried to pull out the Holy Sword.

The fate of those people was never mentioned in the secret teachings of the Silver Wolf Academy.

"That's why Lady Leia hopes you will forge a new holy sword."

"I will."

"I believe you will too."

"...Aren't you having a little too much faith in me?"

"Isn't it good?"

“Question first, then doubt. What I need is inspiration and advice, not this kind of unfounded expectation,” Wiener retorted.

“Without any reason? Not necessarily.” Tissa slowly rose from her chair. “You probably can’t imagine the extent of the impact the sword you gave away back then had.”

"It's just repeating what we've done before, and I believe you'll find the answer."

“It’s not that simple.” Viner shook his head. “You say Felix is ​​a sword I forged, but I can’t even remember what he looked like before.”

"Not only that, I can't even remember any of the weapons I forged during my time in Lumiel Village that weren't part of the 'Village Good' series."

"You may think it's just repetition, but to me it's like starting all over again."

A sword that can grow and take shape is probably impossible for an A-rank sword; at least an S-rank sword would have a slight chance.

If that was the finish line he had reached before, then now Wiener is only just stepping back onto the starting line.

"That's not necessarily a bad thing. Many people want a chance to start over. I've told you everything I need to say. Now, how do you plan to face Felix?"

Wiener remained silent.

This is indeed an unavoidable issue.

Wiener's current feelings are as complicated as if he had just made a new, like-minded brother and hoped he would become his godson, only to find out that the other party is actually his biological son.

Not to mention he had promised Felix he wouldn't get away with it.

It is quite normal for a blacksmith to hand over the swords he has forged to someone else.

But in Felix's eyes, it was no different from being abandoned.

“I will find an opportunity to explain it to him,” Viner said.

"Then it's up to you to decide. Take good care of yourself."

After saying this, Tilisa turned and left gracefully.

Unlike Arios, who only needs to focus on improving his strength, Tilisa also holds other positions within the academy.

Each time I return to the hospital, I have to spend a lot of time dealing with the backlog of tasks, and even the time to visit someone in the hospital is hard-won.

Just as Tilissa closed the door, intending to go back to handle her business, a slightly surprised voice rang out.

"Lady Tilitha?"

Tissa's gaze fell on the newcomer, and she softly called out the other's name, "Edel? It's been a long time."

“Yes, I didn’t expect Lady Tissa to still remember me.” Upon hearing this, Edel gently clasped her hands together in front of her chest and bowed to Tissa.

“If I could forget even a student as excellent as Idel, then I would be a terrible teacher.” Tilissa shook her head gently, then asked, “What brings you to the infirmary?”

"I've come to visit my classmate, Vena," Adele quickly stated her purpose.

“I see,” Tilissa nodded slightly, then pointed behind her. “You’ve arrived at just the right time; Vena is already awake.”

"Lady Tilisa, are you here to visit Vena too?" Edel asked with a hint of curiosity.

"This kid is, after all, one of my Silver Wolf Class members," Tissa laughed. "I have other things to attend to, so I won't bother you any longer. I look forward to your performance in the Griffin Battle."

“I will certainly not let Lady Tissa down,” Edel quickly assured her.

"Hehe, there's no need to put too much pressure on yourself."

Tissa waved and left.

Adele watched Tilissa's figure disappear, then patted her cheeks lightly with both hands.

After calming down, he took a few steps forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in," Viner's voice came from inside the door.

Edel turned the doorknob and opened the door.

"How is Wiener recovering?"

"Lady Edel?" Venere's expression froze.

He truly hadn't expected that, following Tilissa, it would be this princess who would personally visit him.

"You don't need to call me that in private."

Edel pulled away the chair that Tilisa had been sitting in and sat down opposite Venere's bed.

"Vina really kept this from me for a long time."

"What do you mean?" Vena didn't recall ever lying to the princess.

Even if you're not satisfied with the weapon you created, does that warrant coming to the hospital room to confront them?

"If I had known earlier that Venere had already reached the level of a master blacksmith, I wouldn't have offered her such low terms," ​​Edel said with a regretful expression.

Wiener shook his head and said, "These conditions are already very high for me."

More precious than credits and materials are the blueprints for the Basara Axe.

"Even if you say that, I can't accept two weapons at the price of one."

Edel took off the badge from her chest and handed it to Venus.

“I know you won’t leave the Silver Wolf House, but I hope you can become an honorary member of the Black Eagles House.”

"You can enjoy the highest level of subsidies and benefits in the Black Eagles class every month, and enjoy rights second only to the class leader."

"If you wish to serve the Empire after graduation, you can directly obtain the title of Viscount."

Wiener took the badge and gently stroked it with his fingertips.

The Black Eagles Class has the largest number of members among the three classes.

But the badge in his hand was something that Venerer had only seen on Edel and Schuster.

"Your words almost convinced me."

While a master blacksmith is worth recruiting, he is not worth a title with a fiefdom.

"And what's the price?"

“No price is required.” Adele shook her head slightly.

The mere fact that Basara's Axe could be brought back to light is enough to justify this condition.

“I can’t accept that.” Viner pushed the badge back. “Free things are the most expensive. I understand that simple principle.”

“That’s settled then,” Edel said, changing the subject. “I hope the Black Eagles Class will have priority for Wiener’s forging rights.”

Chapter 251 The Story of the Little Blacksmith

"What do you mean?"

This was the first time Wiener had heard this claim.

"Is the Black Eagles' House planning to take over all my future works?"

Edel understood the joke in Venere's voice and played along, saying, "If Venere agrees, that would be best."

“That’s no different from selling yourself into servitude, isn’t it?” Vena couldn’t help but ask.

"Not at all. It's up to Viner to decide who she wants to build equipment for. I wouldn't ask Viner to do anything that would betray the Silver Wolf Class."

"The so-called priority refers to the priority given to the Blue Lions and Golden Deer classes," Edel explained.

"Elaborate."

"There's still a month until the Griffin War, and all three classes are actively preparing. I hope that during this time, Wiener will not be forging equipment for the students of the other two classes."

"After that, all you need to do is ensure that the number of weapons forged for my Black Eagles class is greater than that of the other two classes," Edel stated her request.

"All three major classes are actively preparing for the competition, what about the Silver Wolf Class?"

“The Silver Wolf Class will only participate in the arena battles in their individual capacities, and will not participate in the final class battles,” Edel replied.

The Griffin War evolved from the past grievances between the Aster Empire and the Fasca Kingdom.

One can get a glimpse of this from the names of the two countries' classes in the academy: Blue Lion and Black Eagle.

When the first hero sealed the demon god and founded St. Freya Academy, the relationship between the Aster Empire and the Kingdom of Fasca was not as amicable as it is now.

In order to maintain this fragile peace and prevent the continent of Fódóra from suffering another blow.

Hitrie, the first dean of St. Freya Academy at the time, proposed that the best young people from each country compete to determine the winner.

This way, we could demonstrate our strength while keeping the losses within an acceptable range. In addition, with the brave warrior personally guaranteeing the event, it was naturally able to proceed smoothly.

This gradually evolved into an academic tradition.

As the next emperor of the empire, Edel naturally hopes to lead the Black Eagles to victory in the Griffin War.

“Then I can agree,” Viner nodded.

Anyway, Viner didn't have much of a relationship with the Blue Lions and Golden Deer classes, but he could agree to these conditions without any problem.

"Then it's a deal."

Having achieved her goal, Adele didn't linger. After a few simple farewells, she left the ward.

Just when Wiener thought he could finally breathe a sigh of relief, the door was pushed open again.

"Why are you still here?"

This time, it was Dr. Ida who walked in.

"Where should I be if I'm not in the ward?" Wiener asked, puzzled.

"You're ready to be discharged, didn't Tilissa tell you?"

She was about to tell Venus the news when she was making her rounds this morning, but Tilissa just happened to come looking for her.

Ida then entrusted the task of sending the notification to Tilisa.

“...No.” After recalling for a moment, Vena became even more certain that Tissa had not mentioned this matter.

"Now you know, hurry up and go," Ada urged.

"Given our relationship, is it really necessary to go this far?"

"Heh, who has any connection with you Silver Wolf Class guys? Before, you came one by one, and now the whole family is here. You really think this place is your home?"

"That's not impossible."

"Get out of here!" "Okay!"
