Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 32.2

Standing in front of the platform, I gaze at that crafted item.

Made using Black Wolf materials, the Black Scythe is entirely black from hilt to blade.

In contrast, the crafted item on the platform is the opposite in color, with a pure white hilt and gold patterns engraved here and there, highlighting its elegance even more.

Furthermore, the blade’s edge has a clear steel color that conveys its sharpness directly. The upper part of the blade is covered with the same material as the hilt.

“Beautiful…”

“Its name is ‘Sacred Execution Scythe Durandeis.'”

Sacred Execution Scythe… Durandeis…

“I consciously contrasted it with Black Scythe. There’s a reason for that. While Black Scythe is not yet in its true form, it’s expected to eventually harbor darkness attributes. In contrast, this one uses abundant Sacred Ore and also incorporates Mithril and several spirit stones.”

I don’t understand weapon crafting, but I know each of these materials is precious.

However, none of these materials seem to be of the highest quality, which is a bit disappointing.

For instance, Mithril is already strong normally, but it’s weak enough that none of the top players use it. Ideally, I’d prefer True Mithril or Extreme Mithril, or even Orichalcum.

Expecting that might be difficult. After all, the amount you can earn in a few days in the dungeon is the maximum.

“There’s one more important thing.”

“Important thing…?”

“Do you know about ‘Inheritance’?”

“Inheritance…? No.”

Well, I do know. But for now, let’s pretend I don’t.

“Inheritance means… after using this weapon extensively, you can upgrade it using higher-grade materials. In other words—both the Black Scythe I’m using and this Durandeis here are considered incomplete.”

“Incomplete!”

“To upgrade, you need to get used to using it, and you need higher-grade materials. If you aim to upgrade Durandeis, I’d like to take on that challenge, but it’s hard to come by the materials, let alone buy them. Someday, if you manage to get about thirty pieces of Extreme Mithril ore, bring them to me. Of course, other materials are available for purchase. They’re priced accordingly, but currently, I estimate it would cost about 500 million Rulns to make.”

500 million… That’s definitely not something I can manage right away. I knew about it, but the price of equipment really can reach astronomical levels.

But come to think of it, wouldn’t one piece of Extreme Mithril cost several billion Rulns? In that case, the cost for upgrading could amount to tens of billions of Rulns… Is there a pricing bug somewhere?

“That’s quite a hefty amount.”

“Hehe. Indeed, when it comes to upgrading. Frankly, even as it is, it’s more than strong enough… But with an upgrade, it would likely become one of the top weapons in the world. Well, it’s still not complete even then; that’s for another time.”

“Understood! How strong is this exactly?”

“It’s hard to compare due to its special effects, but purely in terms of cutting power, the Black Scythe I’ve used until now is around 100. Durandeis is about 3000.”

Oh. Thirty times… It’s… strong.

“By the way, about ‘Inheritance’ and upgrading, can it be done with Black Scythe too?”

“I can’t do that.”

“Huh? Me…?”

“Ah, yes. Only the original creator can perform Inheritance. So, you’ll have to ask the one who made it.”

Hmm… So it might not be possible right away.

“Got it. Mr. Mieger, thank you very much for crafting this weapon!”

“No, I’ve learned about a new type of weapon through you. This one might be usable only by you, but it’s been quite an interesting experience. If you ever need something again, just let me know. I’ll give you a discount.”

“Yes! I’ll definitely come to you then!”

“By the way, lad. You’ve got a new weapon, but are you not getting new armor?”

“Well… Hmm. Armor like a suit seems cumbersome, so I was thinking of buying something from the clothing line.”

“I see. If you need it, let Maria know. There’ll be a commission, but she can buy it for you in return.”

“That would be appreciated! I’ll ask Maria-san right away!”

“Ah, adventurers need their gear. If you have the funds, make sure to equip yourself properly.”

“Yes! Thank you very much!”

After bidding farewell to Mr. Mieger and returning outside, I immediately informed Maria-san about the need for new, easy-to-move armor.

After confirming just the body measurements, I deposited another 50 million Rulns gathered as funds.

I still have 50 million Rulns left, but it seems I can’t find armor that costs 100 million.

With my new partner, Durandeis, in hand, I headed straight for the dungeon.
