Porol asked with disappointment written all over his face. Jack's thoughts would most likely be the same.
"I've brought these as proof--- proof that our Armory still holds a HUGE QUANTITY of weapons of THIS LEVEL that are just lying undisturbed for years."
"….what?!"
"Our only regret is that these weapons all require a wielder who has met the specific conditions of passing through certain tests or trainings---Hence, we came upon an idea. To use the famous weapons that lie dormant in the Armory to CONSTRUCT A STRONGER ORIGINAL WEAPON."
This time, both their expressions changed to that of shock.
Especially for Porol, the impact of the shock had shaken him to his core since he was able to understand the entity of Jin's words.
"Yahoho……You mean to forge legendary type weapon imitations like [Perseus]-----"
"No. Jack, that's not it. Jin meant to create an original type of weapon---By judging his comrade's skills and forging the strongest weapon that will best suit their needs!"
Jack who heard Porol's clarification was stumped for words.
Jin also firmly nodded his head in assent. To bring out the full potential in his comrade's battle skills was his way of supporting his comrades as the leader of the Community.
(……Looks like Jin is prioritizing the strengthening of his comrade's fighting abilities before the funds obtainable from the trade of Diamond Iron Ore.)
To continue improving on their best selling point. That was the motto of the [No Name]s.
Even so, Porol gave a wry smile.
"That's easier said than done. We have to collect many more materials and Gifts besides the Diamond Iron Ore that we have."
"I know that. So, we hope that [Six Scars] will provide information on Gift Games that offer up Strong Gifts as prizes."
"……Nn. Being a merchant Community, the obtaining of information should not be a problem. However, even with the materials gathered,……is [Will-O'-Wisp] really able to utilize it and create those items you require?"
Porol sneered in Jack's direction.
With the usual smile wiped off Jack's face, he crossed his arms in deep thought.
---Though Mythological weapons were strong, they had many restrictions on the wielder that's allowed to touch it. Jin's suggestion was to bypass that flaw. However, that would make the success of his plan lie heavily on the skills of Jack. The question now was: Would Jack be able to live up to the task or not.
Though Jack's character may seem very carefree and joke around often, he's actually a deep thinker who's a strategist in his Community. From his perspective, he would take all considerations of his Community's future seriously and place all matters on a Balance to have an accurate reading for the best possible course of action.
Staring at the materials before him, he softly mumbled:
"…Sir Jin Russel"
"Ye,Yes."
"We of [Will-O'-Wisp] are currently being targeted by the [Maxwell Demon Lord] and with that in mind, would you still be willing to stand by us in battle?"
The sudden revelation caused Jin and Porol to exclaim loudly:
" [Maxwell Demon Lord]……isn't he the strongest Demon Lord of the Level 5 North regions?"
"Is that for real? You guys are real lucky to have survived this long."
"Yea. We have driven him away before, with success …but that fellow's still eyeing us recently, obviously up to no good…Even so, would [No Name] still be willing to stand by us to fight together?"
A raging flame was lighted within the depths of the pumpkin shell head.
Jin couldn't help but draw a sharp breath under the sudden strong pressure emitted from the other party. But he knew that this was a test that he must show that he was just as determined.
"…A gentleman doesn't take back his words. As long as [Will-O'-Wisp][8] is able to forge us the best weapons and accessories, we of [No Name] will rush forth to provide assistance under the flag of raging hell flames."
As his words fell on their ears, the contract documents of the Alliance had that new line added.
Placing his hand upon the Contract documents, Jack also took an oath unto himself.
"I hereby swear that I will use the Flames of Hell to forge the best equipment for you guys."
As their gazes met, they nodded and sealed their vows.
Porol started to pout as he felt left out.
"……what's happening? Now it makes me look like I'm the only one who's a brat around here."
"Yahoho. How can it be?! Porol's words had also carried some important points that were noteworthy!"
"But just a little too sour on the ears and not easily palatable for some."
Jin's words only succeeded in making Porol's veins pop near his temples.
But he had no complains and merely gave a light sigh.
"I give up. If you guys have given it that much thought, I will be more than willing to help. Allow me to be frank. With [No Name]'s battle prowess as a guarantee, it's really quite a relief for me."
"Yahoho! Though I do not know if I can meet your expectations, I will use my skills to the fullest to forge equipments that will feel at home in their hands!"
"Rea..Really Thank You!"
Jin's face broke into an earnest smile as he thanked Jack with a bow.
The three of them shook hands firmly. Signifying the ratification of their thoughts.
---The Alliance between [No Name], [Six Scars] and [Will-O'-Wisp] has been formed, while the finalization of the Alliance name and flag were to be postponed till the joining of the fourth Community. And with that, they ended the talks for the day.
