Starting with the goblin extermination

Dallak did not directly answer Logan's question.

He suddenly took two steps back, arched his two thick arms, folded his large hands downwards like two sickles, and awkwardly waved them twice in the air.

It looks quite comical.

Elsa couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"What are you laughing at! Girl, I'm very serious!"

Dallak blew his beard and glared as he lowered his arm.

"These are the monsters you must be wary of when you venture deeper into the forest—"

"Giant mantis!"

Darak lowered his voice and explained to Logan, "To get the perfect enchantment for your sword, the best thing to do is go deep into the dungeons and kill a rare giant mantis. Use its incredibly sharp blades as the main material for the enchantment; that's what your weapon deserves."

In Dalark's view, although Logan's sword was not forged with high-grade forging materials such as mithril or meteorite iron, its craftsmanship was excellent and it had been enhanced by dwarven mysticism.

Putting magic aside, it's not much worse than ordinary magical weapons. If you add the giant mantis's blade, it will definitely be transformed.

As a blacksmith, he wanted to personally imbue the longsword with the best magical effects.

"You know, the magical weapons made from the giant mantis's two blades are famously swift and deadly—absolutely top-notch. Not to mention using them as the main material for enchanting; you can imagine what your sword will become."

At this point, Dalark's vanity as a blacksmith was stirred up again.

He told Logan and the others to wait outside.

He then went into a room.

A short while later, he came out carrying a long, narrow black box.

A simple, ancient-looking curved sword with a faint green glow was handed to Logan. Its blade was long and narrow with a blood groove, making it quite beautiful.

"Pick it up and try it."

Dallak raised his chin smugly.

The moment Logan gripped the sword hilt, semi-transparent words appeared in his eyes.

……

Logan's eyes widened suddenly.

He performed a sword flourish with one hand.

Light, incredibly light.

But the feedback from the sword when it was swung was extremely solid. Moreover, the enchantment effects on the panel really appealed to Logan.

He was craving it.

Looking at Logan's expression, Dallak's nose was practically pointing to the sky.

"How about it? This is the treasure I crafted last year using the blade of a giant mantis. Aren't you tempted?"

Then, without any hesitation, he grabbed the longsword and carefully put it back in the box.

"Stop looking at it. This thing should sell for at least 40 platinum coins. Don't tell me you have that much money right now."

"So expensive?"

The team still has 30 platinum coins left, but it's still not enough to buy this curved sword.

"Nonsense! You have no idea how rare giant mantises are, and those things are much more dangerous than shadow leopards."

"Their blades are treasures; they can cut through iron like mud, and even when they're cutting down professionals, it's like chopping melons and vegetables."

At this point, Dalark forcefully tapped Logan's chainmail.

"If you encounter it, your armor won't work either. Several professionals have run into the giant mantis in the past, and they were in a terrible state. I wouldn't even use their heavy armor to wipe my butt; it was just like a few rags."

Dallak then quickly swung his fist a few more times.

"Moreover, the giant mantis attacks at a frighteningly fast speed, and many professionals end up with several large mouths on their bodies without even realizing it."

"However, giant mantises usually appear alone. If a reliable spellcaster can keep it under control, there is still a chance to deal with it."

Logan subconsciously touched the [Abyssal Thorns Ring] on his hand. And it's true, in his first major battle after taking up the job, he deliberately avoided using any spells from the ring to test the effects of his feats and combat skills.

The effect did not disappoint him; his own strength meant he didn't need to use the ring at all.

However, Logan believes that the first-circle spell [Bloodthirsty Strangulation] might not be as powerful as before against a level one monster. Of course, in crucial moments, even briefly stunning an enemy for half a second is enough for him to pierce through them.

After saying all this, Dalark spoke earnestly.

"Many newly hired adventurers think they are invincible and often impulsively try to fight level one monsters one-on-one, only to end up with nothing but ashes."

"The reason I'm telling you all this is because I know you'll ask sooner or later. But in my opinion, you've climbed too fast. Take my advice, calm down first, and don't rush to your death."

Logan paused for a moment, then nodded seriously.

That makes perfect sense.

To be honest, the sense of power brought by the increase in attribute points after taking the job did make him a little restless.

We must remain calm.

Being overconfident is not a good thing.

......

As dusk fell, Logan and Elsa returned to their cabin hand in hand.

Logan pushed open the door and frowned.

The room was a bit cramped, and the location was rather average.

It's time to move to a different place.

Logan rubbed his chin.

Even if you don't buy a house with a yard in Riverwood, you should at least rent a spacious house in the better-off Eastside.

Lily will be back from the temple this Sunday, and then the three of us will be crammed together. Not only will it be inconvenient for daily life, but also...

Logan glanced at Elsa beside him and blushed.

He thought back to the night he and Elsa became a couple.

I acted impulsively at the time and didn't think anything of it.

It wasn't until he had lived in the house for a few days that he embarrassingly discovered that the soundproofing was practically non-existent.

He silently apologized to Lily in his heart.

The impact was extremely negative.

I'll ask Kruger then; he seems to have mentioned it to me before and said he can solve this kind of problem.

Logan sighed helplessly.

Unexpectedly, I still have to worry about housing, just like in my previous life.

However, renting without buying is not a big problem.

The sky outside the window had been dyed a deep orange-red, and the sun was gradually sinking.

I need to hurry up and wash up and rest, as I have to go to the Ellis team's drinking party tonight.

Another fierce battle is about to begin.

I'll take a shower first.

The narrow washroom was filled with steam.

Logan vigorously rubbed his muscular physique.

Click.

The door opened.

Logan turned around and, through the misty steam, saw Elsa.

The half-elf girl hugged him tightly.

......

After a while.

The ground was a mess, with water stains and foam splashed everywhere.

Logan grabbed a towel and dried Elsa, who was leaning against him and didn't want to move a finger.

Well, due to time constraints, the effectiveness of the 6-point constitution still needs to be fully investigated.

Change your clothes.

Night has fallen, and the streets are lit up.

Looks like I'm going to be late.
