THE LAST HOBBIT'S

39 - Negotiation

...'As a guarantee of my life's safety, the beautiful girl gave me an unreasonable challenge.'...

...*****...

The cloth covering Arslan's eyes is now beginning to be removed. Now in a fairly bright light, a beautiful-faced figure was seen. Even this subject was completely dazzling with his cold eyes.

Arslan could not pay attention to his surroundings as his jaw was grabbed and he was forced to stare at the beautiful figure standing in front of him at this moment. Helena Vennamous is seen in a light blue dress and wearing a white robe with a hood on her head.

"Young Master is very arrogant. You not only steal, but also screw up and make me very embarrassed. I really want to finish you off now,"

Arslan's expression did not change. He calmly said, "I've indeed been acting too late to a woman as beautiful as Miss Helena. But I guess... Miss Helena won't accept my apology,"

"You think I need an apology from you? You can only make up for all your mistakes by dying."

"Alright, but Miss Helena will lose something very profitable if it kills me." Arslan smiled and made Helena Vennamous frown.

"You think I'll be fooled by what you say?"

"It's not a scam" Arslan seriously said. "The Star Stone I took from the Lunar Orchis... I'll forge it into a sword."

!!

Helena Vennamous flinched before finally snorting. His tone mocked as he said, "You think I'm stupid? There have been many great weapons forges I have summoned to forge those star stones. But none of them supported it. And you're... It was precisely with confidence that he would forge the sword. Huh, you-"

"Dragon Conqueror Sword," Arslan interrupted and this speech showed a startled reaction from the subject before him.

Arslan again said, "Did Miss Helena never be curious about the figure who had made the legendary Dragon Conquering Sword?"

!!!

Helena's breath went up and down while she was holding back anger. The beautiful girl looked at the figure in front of her and said, "There's no way a person like you has any connection to the Dragon Conquering Sword. You-"

"Why is it impossible?" Arslan interjected, "Did Miss Helena know the sword forger?"

Helena Vennamous took a step back. He looked at the subject in front of him and coldly said, "Then how can you prove that you have a relationship with the Dragon Conquering Sword?"

Arslan said, "The Dragon Conqueror Sword was made in the place of Trian Shimmer Brown. Some assume that he had forged the sword, but Trian Shimmer Brown did not admit it at all. It was not denial, but he was indeed not the one who forged the sword."

"Then do you think it's you?" Helena Vennamous, "You're saying shit like this just to avoid death and I won't believe it."

Seeing that Helena Vennamous pulled out a dagger made Arslan snort. His facial expression was calm as he said, "Why are you so rushed. I've bonded strongly and can't escape. You can kill me as you please, but I'd say that would be a big mistake."

"Do you really not want to see the contents of the package I brought, Miss Helena?" Arslan reopens the sound. His calm attitude and not at all panicking with his current state caused Helena Vennamous to be disturbed.

"................." Helena Vennamous turned her head and then began to open her voice, "Take that thing in..!"

Arslan saw a magic knight who came from the Lunar Orchis. The figure walked with the cloth and then began to open the package according to orders from Helena Vennamous.

"It's..." The magic knight took out clothes and some kind of dry bread. He flinched as he began to take out a black-colored hammer with a strange engraving.

Helena Vennamous recognized the object. It was the Lightning Hammer that had a history that only a certain person could bring out the original power of the thing.

Helena Vennamous looked at Arslan and said, "This is only at the Trian Forging site. How can this weapon be on you?"

"Trian Shimmer Brown gave it to me himself" Arslan replied. "From the beginning the heirloom did not belong to Trian Shimmer Brown. Does Miss Helena still not believe it?"

The magic knight in the room seemed to notice Arslan before staring at each other with Helena Vennamous. He got a hint from the beautiful girl and then nodded slowly.

Arslan saw the figure walking away and Helena Vennamous seemed to cross her arms. It didn't take long until the magic knight came up with something in his hand.

Arslan frowned when something was thrown on the ground. There are two objects, one of which is an ordinary stone the size of a fist and the other is a piece of wood. He looked at Helena Vennamous as if he knew what this beautiful woman meant.

"Your little life is in my hands now" Helena Vennamous said, "I am not a cruel person. So I'll give you one chance, if you can forge those two things into weapons then I'll consider forgiving your life."

"Wine. The challenge is absurd" Arslan smiled and then took a breath. He looked at Helena Vennamous and then nodded slowly, "Alright. If that's what Miss Helena wants, then that's what Miss will get."
