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

Is...what happened to the royal family again?

No, even if His Majesty Edward dies, it won't cause so many guards to take to the streets, right?

Wearing his hat, Will walked quickly through them and came to the blacksmith shop.

What greeted him was probably the only happy thing today.

"I haven't seen such an anxious customer like you for a long time. But fortunately, uncle, I am very interested in this kind of challenging project."

Will originally thought he wouldn't get a concrete reply.

Unexpectedly...

Sword of Shadow Nightmare.

Now it was lying nicely on his palm.

It is very light when weighed. Although the width of the blade has exceeded the scope of "rapid sword", the weight may be only four-fifths of some royal rapiers.

For a swordsman who is good at agility, this is indeed a very handy weapon!

as well as……

It's really "black".

The forging did not change the color of the raw material, it still retained its weird black color, and after it was turned into a sword, this black color seemed to be able to cut off something.

What's even more wonderful is probably the hilt of the sword. He really took that piece of rag...

Well, not rags, but a deep curse from the "demon dungeon".

It is wrapped around the hilt of the sword like a bandage. When you hold it, you can feel the layers of texture. It feels very good in the hand.

"...Thank you so much!"

"It's nothing, the shield you want is here too."

"!!!"

Will originally thought that it would be good if something could be done well.

but……

A shield for Yiel was also prepared.

The ice blue shield matches well with the attributes that Yiel is good at, and more importantly...

"Why do you have to put dog paw prints on the shield? You are such a strange person."

"It's custom-made, so it should be weird enough!"

"Okay, okay. After these are done, I may have to close the store. If you need any after-sales service, you won't be looking for me here anymore, right?"

"……what?"

Will was stunned for a moment.

"I've been out of business for a long time, and it's almost time to pack up and leave. It seems that even taking orders from the royal family in the capital will be unstable."

He sighed, and Will noticed that the fire behind him had been turned off, which at least proved that the blacksmith shop would not be open today.

"Then...where will you go after that?"

"It's better not to stay in the capital. It would be great to do business for adventurers. I will move to a place with dungeons. By the way, you seem to be quite familiar with adventurers. The blacksmith who usually helps adventurers make weapons is Don’t you have to follow the dungeon?”

"..."

Will was dumbfounded by the question.

For him, the "blacksmith" and "blacksmith shop" are completely fixed-point functional NPCs in the game. Anyway, if you look for them wherever you go, you will definitely find them and they will respond to your requests.

From a planning point of view, functional things should be changed according to needs, but in short, the "players" must be able to find people when they want to find them.

……

But they are indeed "people" living in this world, and the blacksmiths in this worldview are relatively skilled and earn more than ordinary farmers.

original……

Because "dungeons" are not fixed, the gathering points of adventurers are also not fixed, so these "functional NPCs" must move with them in order to support their families.

at the same time……

The place where you are will also change due to the "events" you encounter in this world.

Objects and people that change are also part of the "authenticity" of this world.

"Stop talking? I think so. A young master like you shouldn't know these details. It's okay. I know many blacksmiths who can help me."

He waved.

"Are you going to the Imperial City to find Her Royal Highness Treya?"

"Uh...how did you..." Will realized that he really didn't hide much in front of the blacksmith, "Well. Maybe I will set off this afternoon. After all, she...has been waiting for me for a long time."

"Actually, I didn't recognize you as the young master on the missing persons notices plastered all over the city."

"what?"

Wei Xin thought that he was being lied to by replying all at once.

"Uncle, when I'm busy, I have so many orders a day, how can I have to observe every customer? It's just..."

He pointed across the street.

"Today the missing persons notice was torn off one by one by the guards, and I just realized that the one printed on it looked quite similar to you."

tear……

Tear it off?

Will's eyes widened.

He was not used to looking at his missing person notices, so when he passed by, he would deliberately avoid them, and would not look at them unless he faced them head-on.

"Everyone is talking about whether Princess Treya has found someone. I'm wondering..."

The muscles on the blacksmith's face were squeezed to the point where there was only a slit left, and his eyes looked at Will.

"Maybe?"

"..."

——Strange, strange, strange.

——Why is this happening?

——Why does this happen?

"Ah...ah, yes, I...I'll take my things and leave first."

Will walked quickly on the way back "home", then opened his eyes wide and looked at the walls of all the streets he walked -

No more, no more, no more.

There are missing persons notices plastered all over the city and now not a single one can be seen.

All that can be seen are some glue marks left on the walls.

Nothing else remains.

The guards were indeed very fast, especially in a capital controlled by the royal family.

"Ha...what the hell...what happened?"

Will closed the door to his home, leaned his shield behind the door, looked at the wooden floor of his home, and began to breathe.

His brain was spinning wildly, analyzing the current information.But unfortunately, he felt like he would never be able to piece together an answer with the information he had.

Treya discovered that he had arrived in the capital?

It's not impossible, but since she found out, why didn't she just come to her door?

Could it be that something happened to the royal family again?

Damn it, if it was some important event in the royal family, at this point in time, the original work should have mentioned it, but he couldn't remember it at all.

It would be nice if the "Mission System" was still at hand, so he could flip through the pages to confirm.

Things are a little different now.

how to say……

The most subtle thing is that it seems that nothing has changed, but Will has a strong "unfortunate feeling" in his heart that was the same as the day he met Leah.

For Will, he has two choices -

[-]. Go out now, report directly to the guards, and enter the palace.

[-]. Escape from the capital immediately. The situation is already a bit wrong. Let’s talk about it later.

Moreover, this choice is one that must be made as soon as possible.

Should……

Which should I choose?

He has always been the one who puts pressure on others, but today he didn't even let himself go.

"Come on, tell me—"

As Will, as Will System, as the captain that everyone trusts, as the person who raised them with his own hands.

And as the person Treya needs at this moment and every moment in the future——

He looked at the absolutely powerful sword in his hand.

"Let's go."

- opened the door.

Chapter 244 She is near the Shrine

Da da da.

Listening to the wheels rolling on the ground, Will looked out the window of the carriage. The drizzle had slowly fallen. Looking out from the mountainside, on the top of the mountain in the distance, dark clouds seemed to have collapsed and landed on the dark green peaks. top.

Will had never thought the walk to the palace could be so long.

He had obviously walked this road many times, because almost every weekend, he and Treya would find some reason to "promote their relationship" and have a small gathering in her palace, asking Will to open a small stove for her. , talk about the royal family.

let her...

Understand more about "yourself", your "environment", and even more about "other people".

When Will anxiously faced the drizzle outside the window several times and stuck his head out to check his current location, the driver in front of the carriage spoke -

"Mr. Will, I didn't expect you to show up."

"...I...I just went to do some...more important things."

Will actually recalled it.

Although he had a lot of fun during this period, the most important thing was "investigating the whereabouts of the Green Stone".It’s not like there’s nothing to do.

"It's great that you can stand up and help Princess Thereya at this time."

When he said this, Will suddenly realized that this carriage driver seemed to be the one who had been delivering Thereia.

After he went to the guard to "surrender", he was told to go home and wait. Within about an hour, the coachman drove a carriage that clearly belonged to the "royal family" and stopped in front of his house - much like every time he used to Go to Treya's house.

Obviously, everything now seems like it was every day three years ago.

but……

The weather above him, the atmosphere around him, and Treya waiting for him were no longer what they were three years ago.

"Is she... in a bad situation now?"

"Miss Treya? Of course. But now in the royal family, there are not many people who can speak well of the 'situation'. Her Highness Treya just seems more silent than before."

The reins in the driver's hand were swung very fast, and the four legs of the white horse in front appeared double as it ran on the already muddy ground, and its feet were stained with mud.

"...Will she...will she...mention me?"

"According to her maid, she does mention you every day. Mr. Will, you may not understand, but Your Highness Treya really hopes that you can come back..."

Da da da.
