As a villain, I raised a defeated dog to become a black boss

That's right, that's it.

He is no longer a spectator.

He wants to influence the story...

What he fears is that they will never happen again -

However, what he saw was...

Thereya, who had an eyepatch on her left eye, slowly turned her head.

Blindfold?Why are you wearing an eye patch...

She is laughing.

Have a good laugh.

Smile beautifully.

But her smile didn’t look like the Traya in Will’s memory.

"Te...Treya?"

"Master Wei Er."

It was as if her crying and trembling just now didn't exist.

"Dig a hole for you——"

"You really..."

A smile as if the trap had succeeded.

! ! ! ! !

He opened his eyes.

I saw a familiar ceiling.

"Hahaha……"

Lying on the small bed in the third-floor room of the capital hut, he stretched out his hands in the air, but kept breathing.

"That's...what's going on!?"

"Why why why do you have such a dream?"

"Trea, what on earth are you..."

Halfway through his words, Will looked at the sunlight coming in from his side and realized a problem...

"Wait...why...why?"

Will sat up and looked at the palm he had just stretched out into the air.

This time, he did not forget this dream.

Chapter 238 Sunny Day

"Weird! This is so weird."

Will breathed slowly, calming his heartbeat, which was about to rush out of his throat just now, and slowly calmed down.

"The details in the dream are all very clear..."

He looked at his palm, and the touch he had patted on Treya's shoulder seemed to stay on his palm.

And her smile.

It’s a smile that makes Will’s back shiver just thinking about it.

"It even reminds me of the dream of 'forgotten Leah'..."

And why a dream that has been forgotten once remains in the brain.

"And... is this dream hinting at... something?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is bright.

Autumn in the capital is like this. Although it rains occasionally, it doesn't last long. It always comes in bursts. Then it suddenly clears up, ushering in a sunny day with clear and crisp autumn air.

Just like Will's memory, the days of studying in the capital were always spent slowly in the blue sky and white clouds.

Looking at the sun hanging in the sky, Will even felt a little hot.

[Task 1001: Investigate the current specific situation of the royal family. 】

——Will originally decided to walk around the streets of the capital to complete this task as quickly as possible.

but……

When he took to the streets after dawn the next day, he discovered that the streets of the capital were very "solemn."

It was completely different from the gentle feeling brought by the shining sun hanging overhead.

Although the capital itself has a larger sphere of influence due to the Entak royal family, the capital does not have the energy of adventurers that other cities with dungeons have.

but……

He has lived here for three years at least, and this is the first time he has seen such a solemn scene where every tree and plant is as solemn as a soldier.

For example, in the capital, it is normal to have discussions about the royal family on the streets - especially in places like restaurants.

but……

"Have you heard? The royal family's affairs..."

"There has been a lot of turmoil in the city recently, and there was even a curfew for a period of time, which is really scary."

"Then...the scene between the Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince..."

Ok? !

Will caught the key information, and just as he was about to listen carefully, he seemed to be caught eavesdropping.

"Shhh - stop talking, let's talk about something else."

"Tsk..."

The inconvenient thing for Will is that, as the subject of "missing notices posted all over the place," he is not suitable for eavesdropping from too close a distance, nor is he suitable for pretending to be a passerby and chatting.

However, with only a few words of understanding, he heard about the "Sixth Prince and the Eighth Prince", and that probably... the duel in his memory had already happened.

The duel was not at this point in time - but based on the temperament of the two people and the significance of the "duel" mentioned by Treya to the royal family, Will could not judge whether the duel was something that actually happened more than once. .

"Has the situation in the royal family reached this point?"

"It's a little worse than I thought..."

"Treya..."

"I have to hurry."

[Task 1001: Investigate the current specific situation of the royal family. 】

He stood in front of the recommended blacksmith shop and completed the task No. 1000.

The blacksmith didn't seem to care about his appearance, and didn't even make eye contact with him before Will felt relieved and spoke normally.

"Well, let's confirm again. These materials are used to build a shield and a sword respectively."

Just after Will finished speaking, the blacksmith opposite said in embarrassment——

"This material..."

"What's wrong? Isn't it difficult to make it? I want this thing the day after tomorrow at the latest. If it can be made, I am willing to triple the money."

Will spoke eagerly.

"It's not that it can't be done. The shield you want is easy to talk about. After all, I have been making that thing for decades. This sword..."

He scratched his head.

"It can be made, but this is the first time I have seen materials related to the 'Devil'. Such good materials, even though I claim to be the best blacksmith in the capital, I am afraid that it will be ruined."

Looking at the materials placed on the table, the strong-armed blacksmith seemed worried.

"It doesn't matter, it really doesn't work. Just use this iron to make a sword, then take out the thread and wrap it around the hilt."

Will imagined a sword with a black blade and something like a bandage wrapped around the hilt...

It seems pretty cool to have a silver-haired half-elf princess use it.

only……

Well……

Will had thought about this problem before when he was using the Staff of Ancient Flame——

Why is the shape of the Ancient Flame Staff so similar to the special weapon in the game of the same name as his memory?

The handle is made of iron and has a metallic luster, and is decorated with rubies. This design is just for recognition rather than practicality. It is difficult to find another one except in the game.

And the "Shadow Nightmare Sword" he is about to build, if it is made according to the way he said...

It turns into a sword with a black bandage-like hilt.

This appearance is also very similar to the weapon equipped with the "Demon" attribute called "Shadow Nightmare Sword" in the game.

Very strange.

His name was obviously just stolen from the packaging of the game, and his materials were taken away as soon as they came across them. It was almost entirely a coincidence.

Why do the two... eventually converge towards the same identity?

Just like the appearance of "green stone".

"Hey, are you listening? I can do this, as long as you don't return it without paying me."

His thoughts were interrupted by the boss in front of him.

"No, no. I don't lack the money...well, I will do what I say."

Will, who was thinking this way, took a look at this century-old shop called "Shield Processing".

Weapons shops in the capital generally don’t make weapons for adventurers, right?After all, if you want to make weapons for adventurers, there won't be much business here.

Then think about it this way...

This store has been able to exist for so many years. Is it supplied by the military?

Then he might know some of the stories behind the "fourth prince" who was in charge of the army at this time but had an accident.

"Your business should mainly come from the military, right?"

"Hey, this young master is indeed very smart. On the surface, I make things for adventurers, but in fact, most of the confidential work is for the supply and maintenance of the army. If you inherit the family business in the future, you will definitely be able to carry it forward, right?"

Hearing this, Will felt like his lightning was poked.

"Yes... yes..."

Will said, observing his movements.

He first sorted out the forging materials and separated the road to prepare for training.

His movements are indeed skillful, but he seems to be a bit older and his movements are a bit slow.

With calloused fingers, he carefully collected the cloth with the curse written on it that Will had given him.

"However, since it is a confidential matter, you shouldn't tell it, right?"

"What does it matter? The army is in a mess right now, and I don't know if I can get this job in the future."

Facing the firelight of the stove, he sighed.

Will knew that he did understand, so he could continue to ask——

"Is it about the fourth prince? Then... what is the situation in the royal family now?"

"..."

The burning movement of his hand stopped, and he showed a secretive expression to Will.

"People outside the capital are speculating, but from what we can see, the royal family is indeed going to change. Ever since they called back the three princesses who were married to foreigners a month ago, things have been going wrong."

"...!"
