I Was a Sword When I Reincarnated

Chapter 477: Side: Alistair

This was an urgent matter.

「This presence is……a divine sword!」

What a surprise, the power of the divine sword has been unleashed on this continent. As a divine level blacksmith, I can sense the presence of a divine sword.

Especially when it's on released state, I can sense it so much better. What's more, surprisingly, there were two divine sword's presence.

I knew one of it. It's probably Ashwrath's Earth Sword, Gaia. However, I had no idea about the other one.

Does it mean, it was a divine sword that even I have never touched has appeared.

However, there is also some strange feelings about it. There was an obvious distortion in the presence of the divine sword that seemed to be fighting Gaia. There was a possibility that it had already been damaged, or for some reason it had not been able to display its true power.

「No, I will know when I see it」

Anyway, I have to go. That's my mission and my purpose in life. However, there was someone who interrupted me as I started to act.

「A-chan? Where the hell are you going?」

Blonde hair and white skin. Slender body with pointed ears. She has all the features of an elf, and she looks like a gentle woman.

「Winnarhyn…! Since when!」

But don't be fooled by her gentle appearance and her voice tone. This woman is one of the people I'm least able to compete with in this world.

「This is my house, remember? If you're sneaking around and acting suspiciously, I'll notice, right?」

「I even went to the trouble of using a tool to remove my presence though!」

「Oh my? But it didn't hide your presence quite well huh? Isn't it a failure?」

「This is why i hate a high elf! Making a fool of a divine level blacksmith’s tool is…!」

Yes, this woman is not just an elf. She was one of the High Elves, one of the strongest races of elves in this world. She was also one of the most famous of the High Elves.

The exact number of High Elves is unknown. In addition, while many High Elves are keeping their activities hidden from the public, there are a few who are actively involved with humans.

One of those few High Elves was this Winnarhyn. The other two known names are Willow Magnus, a historical researcher. The other one is Wigan Wigan, a wandering botanist.

It is just a coincidence that all three of them have "wi" at the beginning of their names. There is a time when names beginning with "wi" are popular among elves, and all three were born at that time. Well, in elves sense of time it's hundreds of years ago already.

The reason why the latter two have family names is because they were once nobles. The reason it was because the country that had anointed them as nobles had already gone.

In the first place, a High Elves couldn't be accepted by the country's nobles. There is even an anecdote about Wigan Wigan who, when asked what he wanted to name his family, replied that it was too much trouble and that Wigan was fine.

Well, the fact that the country was destroyed so easily shows that the High Elves were not interested in running the country. If they had been able to use their power in any way, it would have been easy to avoid ruin.

Although the three High Elves are well known for their various anecdotes, Willow Magnus and Wigan Wigan are usually wandering the world for research and only occasionally submit their research results to the guild. With that in mind, Winnarhyn was the only High Elf in the world whose whereabouts were known.

There are two famous titles for Winnarhyn. The first is "The Seven Sages" which is the name given to a group of seven people who are said to be as strong as rank S adventurers. Well, none of the seven sages have ever taken that name themselves. In the first place, there were only two mages in the group.

This is just a self proposed organization by countries that have become really concerned about the rise of the guild's influence, in order to keep them in check. Some of them have never even been to the battlefield. It's just seven people who are thought to be extremely talented. The reason why they named them "The Sages was to counter the rough image of adventurers.

However, from what I saw, these seven sages were not foolish.

First, there are three divine sword owners: The Knight of the Gods, Owner of the first Divine sword Alpha. Although only his job title has been revealed, there is no doubt that he exists.

On the other hand, the owner of the Mad Sword, Berserk, was under the "Queen of the Night". This isn't a person name, but the name of a special organization for the operation of the divine sword.

Furthermore, the last one is the king of Philias, the owner of the Demon Sword, Diabolos. However, this isn't true. There is no way for the owner of that Diabolos can casually appear in public. As royalty, they have the right to command the demons, so they are probably using that to hide the true owner. Even the king is treated as the shadow warrior of the owner of the divine sword. I believe that someone from the royal family who is said to be dead is actually still alive and is the master of the divine sword.

Of the remaining four, three of them are kings of powerful nations. The king of the land of demons. The king of the land of the Insect-kin. The king of the Dwarf nation. As for these three, I don't know what they're capable of. Their countries are too powerful to be attacked, and they've never experienced a large-scale war. However, they are probably not weak.

And the last one was the High Elf Winnarhyn. I'm well aware of her abilities. I once had her accompany me to a dungeon to gather materials a long time ago. However, in the case of Winnarhyn, her other title is probably far more famous than the seven sages.

Her title was "The Director of the Academy of Magic".

In a special area of the Belios Kingdom, where autonomy is granted, there is a magic academy where children with magic talents from all over the world gather. The director of the academy was Winnarhyn.

Well, it's directed by a High Elf who is said to be the world's greatest mages. That's why she's popular.

There are magic academies and magic schools all over the world, but the term "Academy of Magic" simply refers to the magic academy where Winnarhyn is the director.

「You still have a lot of work to do, don't you?」

「Y-yeah」

「I'm so sad. I can't believe A-chan is going to be the kind of girl who breaks her promises」

「Ugh…」

I'm currently renting a room in a corner of the academy of magic. Since the chief, Winnarhyn, knows who I am. It was a place where I could stay quietly and comfortably.

My title is temporary blacksmithing instructor. Well, it's an easy job, just a little light instruction for the chicks.

And in exchange for a temporary identity, food, and shelter, I take care of the maintenance of the magic armor and equipment on the Academy of Magic. It can even be said as a perk. It's a great way to get a feel for what's going on in the world of magic.

「B-but…I can't let the presence of the divine sword go unchecked」

「Umm. I guess so. The divine sword is dangerous」

「That's right」

「But, If you don't finish repairing my armor, I'm not going to be able to teach my advanced classes~」

「Well, that's true……」

I can't be too pushy on her because she has been a great help to me when I was young and still is. I knew how scary it would be if she lost her temper.

「Besides, you haven't finished repairing and maintaining that golem, have you? Without it, we're going to be very late for the mock battle class」

「C-can you do something about it! You can get by without it, right? Why don't we let them deal with Winnarhyn directly?」

「It can't be helped huh. I understand. Well, I guess you owe me this time」

「I'm grateful!」

「But, I'll give you one assignment」

「A-assignment?」

Oi oi, what kind of impossible task are you trying to impose?

「Yeah. I've asked you to introduce the Beast King or Ashwrath as our instructor for the mock battle, right?」

「N-no, But, that is……」

A mock battle against rank S adventurers? What kind of enemy do you have in mind? Are you trying to train people to fight the evil gods? But when I told her it was impossible, Winnarhyn surprisingly backed down.

「I understand. So I'll compromise」

「Compromise?」

「Yes. If they're not at the level of those two, can you go find someone who is somewhat strong? If they're adventurers, at least they must be a B ranker or higher」

「Uh, okay…I don't have a choice huh. I'll take care of it」

「You promise? I'm hardly ever away from here, so I don't have that kind of connection at all」

Well, if push comes to shove, we'll have to rely on the Beast King's. Worst-case scenario, I can sell off some magical equipment to the guild and ask them to introduce me to an adventurer instead.

「We can't hold a high-ranking adventurer for a long time, you know?」

「I know, I know, It will only takes about a week or so」

「By when should I bring them here?」

「Lets see. I need it as soon as possible………Can I have it within 5 years?」

Thank God, the High Elves have a screwed-up sense of time. It's a hassle, but I'll figure it out somehow. More importantly, it's time for the divine sword now!
