313: Today's unsheathed sword is a little strange

Chapter 312: Today's sheathless sword is a Little Strange

“I don't care, if you don't give me wine, you're discriminating against outsiders. If that's the case, I'm going to lose my temper...”

Yasuo deliberately put on a fierce expression, scaring the winery staff, who immediately retreated to the side, no longer daring to block the wine jar.

Just kidding, he's just an employee, his monthly salary is only a few gold coins, why risk his life?

This unkempt man in front of him is clearly a high-level professional. What if he kills someone on the street if he's in a bad mood?

Although Bit City is a place that values the rule of law, 'a life for a life' is often only for the noble Snow Elves. As for other races... it's up to fate.

Yasuo is an outsider. If he causes trouble, he'll just run. The law enforcement officers are very busy, so the case he committed will likely end up unresolved.

“Hmph, young people don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. It's a foolish decision to cause trouble at Trandel Winery!”

Pairo's aged voice rang out, causing everyone within a radius of several hundred meters to feel their hearts and minds tremble. This was clearly some kind of sound magic.

Normally, Pairo would be too lazy to personally deal with a drunken disturbance, but now it's different. He doesn't want to lose face in front of Dick.

Yasuo's eyes narrowed, the drunken look on his face instantly dissipated, and he immediately turned to look at Pairo, while also drawing the sheathless sword from his waist.

In an instant, the humming sound of the sword blade rang out, and surging sword intent spread, Yasuo's aura instantly overwhelming Pairo's.

Dick saw that Pairo was deliberately hiding his strength. He didn't want to expose his terrifying power as a Level 70 Mage just to deal with a drunkard.

Otherwise, if Pairo went all out and displayed his magical pressure without reservation, Yasuo would only be able to run.

“Old man, I'm a famous wine connoisseur in the Toya Empire. It's a great honor for your wine to catch my eye. Don't let things get out of hand... Dick?!”

Yasuo, who was in the middle of speaking harshly, quickly saw Dick behind Pairo, and for a moment, he scratched his head awkwardly, his aggressive aura disappearing instantly.

Dick was a bit speechless. He remembered when he left the Toya Empire, he used the excuse of hiring a bodyguard to force a lot of money onto Yasuo.

How long has it been, and he's already spent it all?

Of course, it's also possible that Yasuo is thick-skinned and wants to take advantage of the winery while they're having an event.

Although he really didn't want to admit knowing Yasuo, Dick still bowed humbly and said, “Master Yasuo, why are you here?”

“Master?”

“Master?”

Yasuo and Pairo both let out a puzzled sound at the same time. Neither of them had expected Dick to say that.

“Hehe, Master Yasuo once taught me Wind Style Sword Technique. Even though I haven't formally become his disciple, I consider myself your apprentice!”

Dick bowed to Yasuo again, his face showing apology, “Please forgive my presumption. If I have caused you any trouble, then...”

“Not at all, hahaha, not troubled at all. I'm so happy to have you as an apprentice, I couldn't be happier!”

Yasuo laughed loudly and walked towards Dick, patting his shoulder with a hearty expression, even saying that he could formally become his disciple now.

He had long wanted to take Dick as an apprentice. As the inheritor of the Wind Style Sword Technique, Yasuo couldn't wait to pass on his mantle to this young man in front of him.

He never expected that Dick had always considered himself an apprentice, which made Yasuo feel unprecedented joy.

Seeing this, Pairo, who was standing nearby, reacted incredibly quickly. His previously tense face instantly filled with smiles, and he repeatedly stated that it was just a misunderstanding.

Even Yasuo's unreasonable behavior was rephrased by Pairo as the unrestrained nature of a wine lover, and he waved his hand grandly, saying that the winery's wine could be drunk freely!

Dick was the core figure in the great task of destroying Toya, and Pairo attached great importance to him.

However, currently, the only benefit Pairo could offer Dick was taking him to find the Overlord Demon Ape. Compared to the great task of destroying the Toya Empire, the difference was too great.

Undoubtedly, this was an unequal exchange of interests.

Dick lacked neither money, power, nor even women... While Pairo was worrying about how to offer Dick benefits, Yasuo, the sword technique master, jumped out.

Facing Pairo's active goodwill, Yasuo also thick-skinnedly accepted everything. He even planned to live directly at Trandel Winery.

After chatting for a while, Dick left the winery by carriage, using the excuse that he had something to do. The matter of becoming an apprentice was temporarily put aside, at least until after the matters in the Eternal Frost Forest were dealt with.

Yasuo gladly agreed to this and said there was no hurry.

Just the fact that Dick agreed to be his apprentice was enough to satisfy Yasuo.

However, in reality, Yasuo was destined to be disappointed. He wouldn't even be able to leave the Eternal Frost Forest alive.

What Dick wanted was merely the sheathless sword.

In order to obtain this quasi God-rank magic artifact, Dick had already arranged a script for Yasuo, allowing him to transfer the ownership of the sheathless sword to himself before he died.

As for the Wind Style Profound Meaning, or even the inheritance of the Wind Style Sword Technique... Please, he was very busy and didn't have time to bother with a mere A-grade sword technique.

As the saying goes, isn't the world-ranked sixth SS-grade Wind God Style Swordsmanship more appealing?

After Dick left, Pairo immediately arranged a top-tier private room for Yasuo at the winery, with plenty of fine wine and good food and drink provided.

...

In the evening, Yasuo lay drunkenly on the sofa in the private room, holding a wine pot in his arms and singing a Toya folk song.

Yasuo wasn't stupid. Of course, he knew that his current treatment was entirely due to Dick's influence.

Yasuo accepted this with peace of mind. It wasn't because he was thick-skinned, but because Dick had already agreed to be his apprentice.

After all, it was only right and proper for an apprentice to show filial respect to his master.

“Buzz—”

Suddenly, the sheathless sword leaning against the sofa let out a hum, accompanied by a slight vibration.

Yasuo wasn't surprised. After taking a small sip of wine, he mumbled softly, “It's really strange that you would like a human boy, when you even dislike your own master...”

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz...”

Before Yasuo could finish speaking, the sheathless sword let out a continuous series of hums, and the accompanying vibration became more intense.

“Ah Sheath, although I'm a bit of a wanderer, I've never been casual with you. For decades, your daily maintenance has never been missed once, and you're polished brightly every day...”

Yasuo changed to a comfortable sleeping position and chuckled, “If it were my master, he probably would have traded you for prostitution fees a long time ago!”

“Buzz buzz buzz—”

Listening to the somewhat sharp hum of the sheathless sword, Yasuo couldn't help but dig his ears, and spread his hands, saying, “Alright, alright, I swear I won't trade you for wine money.”

“Buzz!”

“Hehe, speaking of which, Ah Sheath, you'll be blessed from now on. Dick is different from me, he lacks nothing, and his talent is ridiculously high. If you can become his sword...”

“Buzz~”

“That's true, I'm also very satisfied with that kid Dick. This is also my luck...”

“Buzz buzz buzz buzz.”

“Ah Sheath, why are you talking so much today? Usually, you don't make a sound for months, and you don't respond no matter how I call you...”

“Buzz... buzz buzz…”

Hearing this, Yasuo looked startled, his mouth twitching as he said, “Ah Sheath, I don't think a sword can fall in love with a person. You'll scare my precious apprentice away.”

“Buzz!”

“It's useless for you to be angry. An artifact is an artifact. Although you have a spirit, you don't have a physical body. You can't even drink or eat meat like me...”

“Buzz buzz!”

“Ah Sheath, you're a bit strange today. After so many years, this is the first time I've heard you swear...”

In the room filled with the aroma of wine, one person and one sword were constantly arguing.

If Dick saw this scene, he would definitely widen his eyes, because even ordinary God-rank magic artifacts cannot have artifact spirits that can communicate with people without barriers.

What's more, the sheathless sword is only a quasi God-rank magic artifact.
