My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I'd Open Up a Weapon Shop

- After the adventurer's camp. Often.

Beyond some hills, sights jumped into view as if they were different from previous nocturnal views of the wild mountains.

An immense underground lake, illuminated by starlight and the slightest light of the moonlight, descending from the dark ceilings of the underground space.

A lump of dazzling light floats near its center.

Ezel, the brave man who was leading the way, stopped at the most spectacular spot on the top of the hill to raise his admiration.

"Wow... hey, is that...?

"Athlopolis, a town of demons. It's a landscape as described in the report, but this guy is more than you can imagine."

I also stand next to the brave Ethel and observe the sight under my eyes carefully.

What looks like a lump of light in the middle of an underground lake is the appearance of an island filled with the light of lighting that illuminates every part of town.

It is difficult to deduce the size because there is nothing that can be compared, but it also seems to be sticking one foot into a smaller city than a town.

"Anyway, let's get to the lake first. If we get that close, the janitor and I will know we're here."

'- No, you don't have to'

A voice that sounds out of nowhere, unfamiliar to hear.

In the next moment everyone took a critical stance and shook around with their swords as Garnett and Ezel pinched me.

'Please be vigilant. We have no enemies.'

Move your gaze carefully in the direction in which your voice is heard.

One dead tree growing up there - I wondered if its surface had moved to ripple, it began to protrude as if it were a human contour.

"Welcome, Luke Whitewolf. I'm admin Fraxinus. I am truly sorry to have to talk to you in the first vessel."

The voice is definitely heard from that dead tree.

But it was not a sound emanating from the human mouth, but a truly bizarre sounding voice, which was also taken as if another sound had been combined and tailored like a voice.

"Administrator Fraxinus...... you are the head of Athlopolis, right? I'm Luke, head of the White Wolf Knights."

The contours that floated in the dead trees became clearer and clearer, eventually becoming like extremely elaborate wooden busts, even opening the lids (eyelids).

I tried to kill myself by surprise and behave as calmly as possible.

I've already heard this in a report from the Adventurers Guild, too.

The presence of the Athlopolis administrator left the adventurers a message, not the body, but the first flesh.

"I hear they wanted a direct dialogue with those responsible on the human side. What exactly do we need to negotiate?"

Attempting dialogue does not loosen your guard.

In the unlikely event that Fraxinus returns his palm and launches an attack on me, there will be no way for me to resist myself.

At that time, I had no choice but to rely on Garnett and his friends, starting with Hild, and also the trust that they would protect me against anything else.

"- Please wait. Complete connection (link) establishment '

Left for a few seconds, the light dwells in the eyes of Fluxinus, which rose on the surface of the dead tree.

Those eyes looked at me first, then at Garnett, and then delivered the brave Ezel to sight - suddenly stopping the movement.

If you mean human, do you mean 'I'm losing my word to surprise'?

I don't know what it really is because I'm lacking in facial expression changes, but I'm pretty sure something caught my attention.

"Uh, what am I...?

Ezel leaks her voice in confusion.

Fraxinus turned his inorganic eyes to me again and uttered words without moving his mouth.

'Excuse me. That sword is for a certain human being. It's in your hands now. "

"It was officially transferred from the Dwarves I kept for generations, and I put my hands on both repairs. What if it's something that bothers you?

'No, I was just delighted with the fact that the sword was passed down to modern times. Have you ever used attack skills while wielding it?

The second half of the statement seemed like a question directed at Ezel, so I turned my face to Ezel and encouraged him to answer.

"Actually not yet... I'm thinking I need to try it..."

'You should not hesitate to shake it if you have the chance. You must be surprised.'

After telling Ezel what was meant by it, Fraxinus quickly got the derailment right to the point.

Exchanges so far alone have revealed that this tree man (dry ad) is not an inorganic and emotional being, but an intelligent life-form equipped with intelligence and emotion.

Now that flesh is a temporary first substitute, I don't have any expressive expression on my face.

'Athlopolis puts forth a philosophy of being neutral towards all forces and accepting them of any race. But that's only for those who respect our neutrality and philosophy...'

"If we don't promise to follow the rules of Athlopolis, that means we won't let the people on the ground step into town."

'Yes, so we need to negotiate with those responsible for overseeing the humans exploring this hierarchy… i.e., those leading the White Wolf Knights'

Damn, it's so responsible that you want to get away with it.

I knew beforehand that this was the case, so I have also attached my consent to delegate the negotiations and judgment to the White Wolf Knights from Florence, the branch manager of the Alliance branch.

So whichever way you don't have to go back to the ground to discuss it with other organizations, and you're allowed to make decisions on this occasion - that's why the pressure was heavy.

I watched Garnett for just a moment on the side as I breathed.

Oh, yeah. What's wrong with this kind of pressure?

Let Sir Rembrandt cut you from the front when you became the man you deserved to be with the lady of the Argentian family.

You seem frightened to this extent, not very much, but there is no way you can accomplish it.

"It's above my knowledge. What are the terms?"

'Thank you for understanding. First one is......'

Fraxinus arranges his demands on the human side in a concise fashion.

- one. The intelligence activities of forces and individuals within the city and the use of force excluding self-defence shall be prohibited.

However, information-gathering and dueling after applying to the Administrator shall not occur.

- One. Attacks on forces and individuals travelling from the city shall be prohibited until the person concerned has left a certain range.

Even against hostile forces in war, if an attack is made on a subject immediately after leaving the city, the attacker treats it as being wholly hostile to the city.

- One. Forces and individuals benefiting from the city undertake service activities to keep the city safe and neutral.

Specific contents shall be assigned by the Administrator each time according to their respective competencies.

'There is this other fine law, but we cannot allow access to Athlopolis without first accepting these three conditions'

Honestly, when it comes to not being surprised, it's a lie.

I was wondering what the hell kind of demands I could poke at, but if I opened the lid, it would be genuine itself.

It was only a matter of grandeur to call neutrality.

"You're free to go into and out of town, or to act within the limits of what you have to do, right?

"Of course. We are all races to rest their bodies and (...) Ri (...) Tree (...)"

"Third condition...... if you do not agree with the content of the service?

'We cannot allow you to continue your stay in Athlopolis, but nothing more. You may leave Athlopolis at your leisure, in which case the second condition applies.'

I often turned my thoughts around and made sure that there were no pitfalls in the content of the three conditions listed and the Q&A before returning a response to move forward.

"I accept the terms. Let's talk more in town."

'I'm in awe. Now move to the lake. We will prepare the way to Athlopolis'
