The Sword God of Shili Slope in the Magical World

On the streets of the capital.

Fei Xue and Su De walked side by side, together.

"I didn't expect it to be just the teacher and me. It's rare to have time to relax outside of training time. It's so pleasant."

"So, does this count as going on a date with the teacher?"

Feixue blushed slightly at the thought.

Su De kept looking at the dazzling array of weapons in the blacksmith's shop; any swordsman would drool over them.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The blacksmith was hammering ironware at the door, earning eighty yuan per strike.

The action is full of violent aesthetics, making it very enjoyable to watch.

I really am still missing a good sword that suits my hand.

Sude thought to himself.

So much so that they forgot to talk to the people around them.

He turned to ask, "What did you just say?"

"No...it's nothing."

Feixue said shyly.

"The teacher's house isn't ready yet, so we'll have to make do with staying in a hotel for now."

"It's alright, the hotels here are quite nice."

Sude was amazed by the prosperity of the capital, which was beyond his imagination. There were countless inns, most of which were extremely luxurious. A night's stay would cost about ten silver coins, which was half a year's income for a family in the countryside.

Fei Xue seemed to notice that her teacher was glancing at the blacksmith shop, intentionally or unintentionally, and that he had been carrying the sword at his waist for many years.

It has been worn down and repaired repeatedly, and is now so dull that it looks extremely old and worn. It is not rusted, but it is very dark.

But the teacher used it to defeat himself in swordsmanship.

The teacher, whose swordsmanship was so superb, had used the same sword for over thirty years; it was still an extremely ordinary cold iron sword.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"Teacher, I'll have the king send you a new sword in a few days. After all, you are the chief sword instructor, and you can't be without a suitable sword."

Sude shook his head: "No need. A sword is a swordsman's loyal companion and cannot be changed casually."

This sword has been with me since I first transmigrated; it's a beginner's weapon, and it's badly worn out, so it really needs to be replaced.

But he really didn't want to trouble his apprentice anymore.

Having just arrived in the capital and not yet accomplished anything, he was already demanding benefits from the king.

This damages Fei Xue's image and prestige.

Moreover, he's not the kind of person who would take advantage of others.

Fei Xue knew her teacher's character; he was never one to trouble others.

Without saying a word, she headed straight for the blacksmith's shop.

"This girl..."

Left with no other choice, Su De followed.

"Boss, how many silver coins would it cost to forge a fine sword here?"

Fei Xue entered the shop and found that the weapons inside were all quite well-made, of various kinds, using materials from top-grade monsters, including a dagger made from the fangs of a Frostbreath Flame Dragon, and even a cloak made from the fur of an S-rank monster, the Windwalker Beast...

The blacksmith was extremely strong. He put down his giant hammer, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and grinned, "Isn't this Commander Feixue? If it were a top-tier sword, capable of dealing with high-level monsters, and with the added runes of a great mage, it would cost at least 30,000 silver coins. But for your sake, I can give you a 10% discount."

"Thirty thousand silver coins..."

Sud was very surprised when he heard the number.

Clearly, he still hadn't adapted to the prices in the capital.

I thought his salary was already very high, but I didn't expect that he couldn't even afford a complete set of equipment.

Buying a sword can cost you half the money you have.

But what he said next surprised him even more.

Fei Xue pondered for a moment and said, "High-level monsters might not be enough. What if we need to deal with S-rank monsters?"

She believed that only a sword capable of slaying S-class monsters was suitable for a teacher.

His sword, bestowed by the king, is the sword of heroes throughout history, perfectly capable of slaying S-rank monsters and breaking through their defenses.

The monsters in this world are ranked from F to S, with seven ranks in total.

High-level monsters are at least A-rank.

S-rank monsters are already terrifying monsters on the level of natural disasters. Above S-rank is the Demon King level, which is basically the top.

"Hahaha!"

The blacksmith laughed heartily and said, "It's been a long time since I've made such a high-grade sword. 100,000 silver coins is worth a try. And I'll need you to provide the materials, because I don't have many S-grade materials left. I've basically used them all up."

Upon hearing the exorbitant price, Su De advised, "Forget it, it's too expensive. There's no need to use something so good."

He just left the beginner village and already has max-level equipment. Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?

Unexpectedly, Fei Xue said earnestly, "Teacher, you deserve it."

"And you're mistaken, teacher. When buying things in the capital, it's usually not necessary to pay in full at once. You can pay a deposit first, and then pay the rest gradually."

The blacksmith uncle agreed, "That's right. It would take at least half a year to forge such a sword. We need a lot of time to gather the materials, so there's no rush. We can pay a deposit first and draw up a written agreement."

He still hoped to do his best to facilitate such a big deal.

"But......"

Su De still had some concerns.

He never expected that even in another world, there would be such things as overspending and interest-free loans.

If he takes on this loan, won't he become a sword slave?

Fei Xue continued to persuade her, "Teacher, with your strength, you can take on a few monster-slaying commissions from the Adventurers' Guild and pay them off in half a year. Don't worry about not being able to pay them off. Besides, you still have me."

She knew the teacher's personality; if she paid the fee directly, the teacher definitely wouldn't accept it.

You can be more tactful and help him pay it back gradually later.

She had accumulated quite a bit of savings over the years working hard in the capital.

"All right."

In the end, the Soviet Union and Germany compromised.

Because what Fei Xue said was right, it seemed that she could go to the Adventurers' Guild to accept commissions.

With my current strength, I should be able to handle mid-level monsters, if not high-level ones.

The Adventurers' Guild was jointly founded by several great adventurers. It has a history of over a thousand years, spans the seven kingdoms, and enjoys a high level of credibility. It offers a wide range of commissions, including monster slaying, exploration, and escorting.

Powerful adventurers can use it to earn a considerable amount of money.

Making money should be pretty easy for him now.

"Boss, how much deposit do we need to pay?" Su De asked.

"One-tenth is enough."

Sude carefully took out one hundred golden grapes from the bag and pointed them out to the other party.

He was still in shock when he left the shop.

He had actually spent 10,000 silver coins in an instant.

Seeing his expression, Fei Xue burst out laughing: "Teacher, I never realized you were such a money-grubber."

Su De said speechlessly, "What's so funny about that? Even a hero can be brought down by a penny. I was terrified of being poor before."

"That's true. Without your frugality, I wouldn't be who I am today." Fei Xue stopped smiling and nodded seriously.

If it weren't for her teacher's hard work in cultivating her, maintaining the operation of the sword-fighting academy, and raising her, she wouldn't be where she is today.

"Let me take you to the Adventurers' Guild now and see what quests we can take."

Following Fei Xue, Su De arrived at a grand hall that resembled a cathedral, extremely magnificent and comparable to a royal palace. This showed just how profitable the Adventurers' Guild was as an intermediary.

The association takes a commission for each completed order.

Fees must also be paid for publishing commissions.

It's a case of pleasing both sides.

In addition, the Adventurers' Guild has many powerful adventurers who serve as mercenaries within the guild. They are the guild's hallmarks and the pillars that allow the organization to spread throughout various kingdoms.

Sude had registered an adventurer title in town, but he was still a newbie back then.

Take out a string of crystal bracelets, and the Great Magic Stone will automatically search for information and find the file belonging to the adventurer.

The magic stone connects to the spiritual world of ancient sages, containing a vast amount of knowledge and also serving as a library.

The receptionist retrieved Su De's file, shook his head apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry, you're still a novice adventurer and can only accept F-rank commissions."

Fei Xue said in surprise, "Only beginners? How is that possible?"

Sude, however, had anticipated this, and he asked:

How do I upgrade?

The receptionist replied, "You only need to accept ten F-rank commissions to advance to the rank of junior adventurer."

Feixue frowned and said, "Is there a faster way?"

The receptionist thought for a moment and replied, "There is one way, called the Rising Star Cultivation Program. It grants you one opportunity to accept a high-level commission, and upon completion, you can advance to a higher level. The condition is that you need a high-level adventurer to accompany you on the assessment, but you cannot participate in the commission yourself."

"This is fine, I am." Fei Xue took out her purple crystal bracelet.

"Indeed a high-level adventurer."

The receptionist nodded.

Adventurers of different ranks will wear bracelets of different colors.

The levels are generally divided into: beginner, intermediate, advanced, special, black diamond, and platinum.

The receptionist checked and said, "There's only one D-rank quest available recently, which is quite suitable. This quest has been stuck for a whole week, and no one has been able to complete it yet. If you complete it, you can directly be promoted to a junior adventurer, and then you can take on quests one rank higher."

"Let's choose this one."

Fei Xue didn't care; D-level missions were quite simple for her.

"We'll take this mission."

Suddenly, a gloomy voice sounded from behind.
