"What a sad past..."
Hearing Ruijerd's story, Eris couldn't help but sigh.
Although she has a fiery temper, it doesn't mean she can't feel for others. After hearing Ruijerd's story, she felt sad for his tragic past.
Of course, this is because Eris chose to believe Ruijerd.
She is willing to trust Ruijerd's words because she already knows Ruijerd as a person and realizes that he is an honest and gentle person, so she doesn't think he is lying.
But this also shows the situation of Ruijerd and the Superd race.
Most people are unwilling to have too much contact with Ruijerd, let alone believe his words and understand his pain.
After all, this is still an era without the internet.
It is simply impossible to completely disprove something from the root.
In a situation where news spreads so slowly, rumors often spread wider and wider until they completely leave a fact-like imprint in people's minds.
No matter what, victims cannot prove their innocence to everyone on a large scale.
If you want to do this, the effort required will be indescribable. You may have to spend your whole life proving yourself, and there is only a slight chance of gaining the recognition of others.
So Shirou was not arrogant enough to want to help the Superd race solve the problem of being excluded.
Since he can't do it, he won't say things he can't do, because that will only give people meaningless hope.
For Shirou, after listening to Ruijerd's story, he was more concerned about the demon spear from Laplace that was mentioned in the story.
A cursed spear that can give people great power while also robbing them of their rationality is an extremely rare thing among weapons.
As a smith, Shirou is naturally instinctively curious about what kind of structure this weapon has, and even wants to figure out how to make it.
Unfortunately, according to Ruijerd, all the demon spears have been destroyed. There is no way to find traces of the demon spear in this era, so he can only give up.
"So the current situation is that Ruijerd can't enter the town. Once his identity as a Superd is discovered, he may be rejected and driven away. Therefore, he can't move with us, right?"
Shirou summarized all the previous topics and refined all the questions before giving a summary.
"That's right."
Village chief Rocks and Ruijerd nodded, and they couldn't think of a good solution at the moment.
"Actually, the solution is very simple."
Shirou looked at the two of them, hesitating slightly, as if he didn't expect them to not think of such a simple method. "Ruijerd is rejected by people as a Superd. If the problem of rejection cannot be solved immediately, why not hide the characteristics of the Superd race?"
As he spoke, Shirou pointed to Ruijerd's most obvious green hair and the red gem on his forehead.
The trident in his hand is not a big problem. Although ordinary people don't use tridents, they won't be rejected just because of a weapon.
And if there is a problem with the trident, after Shirou finds a town, he can completely use his forging skills to create a suitable spear for Ruijerd as a weapon.
"Hide his features?"
Hearing Shirou's words, Ruijerd was stunned for a moment, and then also thought it was a good idea.
He doesn't care that much about his features, and hiding them is not a problem.
However, Village Chief Rocks frowned slightly and said, "If he hides his features, then Ruijerd will have nothing to do with the Superd race in the future. Even if he does something good, it will not be counted on the Superd race, and it will not change the Superd race's image in other people's minds."
"This…"
Regarding Village Chief Rocks' words, Shirou also realized the problem with this action.
It's like Ruijerd is giving up his own benefits to help Shirou and Eris.
It's a bit too much for him to give up.
However, Ruijerd didn't have any extra thoughts and said very frankly: "It doesn't matter. The reputation of the Superd race is not as important as protecting Shirou and Eris. Besides, as long as they know I am a Superd and are willing to believe me, that's enough."
"Ruijerd…"
Hearing his words, both Shirou and Eris couldn't help but show complicated expressions.
They never expected him to say such selfless words.
Even Eris couldn't help but show a touched expression.
"But…"
"It's okay, Rokkus, I've already decided."
Regarding Ruijerd's determination, Shirou took a deep breath and realized that he owed him an unknown amount of favors.
In this way, both the forging of weapons and helping the Superd race get rid of their bad name are things he will need to do in the future.
As a partner of justice, Shirou would naturally never be ungrateful.
…
Shirou and Eris stayed in the Migurd race village for a few days and finally had to set off and leave.
The Migurd race girls were very reluctant to leave Shirou.
These days, they followed Shirou every day to learn how to process monster ingredients and how to make delicious food in limited environments.
It can be said that Shirou's reputation in the Migurd race is almost as good as it was in the Buena village and the Boreas family for several years.
No way, the people rely on food as their heaven.
Shirou taught the Migurd race people how to make delicious food, which can almost be said to be like their parents bringing them back to life.
Many young Migurd race girls showed extreme enthusiasm when they saw him, as if they had a very good relationship with him.
Even girls who were not young, even mature women, were very enthusiastic about Shirou.
As a result, Shirou can be said to be very popular in the Migurd race these days, and wherever he goes, he is accompanied by a large group of beautiful girls.
Even Eris couldn't stand it anymore.
So when leaving the Migurd race, Eris was extremely anxious and almost dragged Shirou away.
Shirou was a little helpless about this, but could only obey.
The group then came to the gate of the village, and Rowin's familiar figure appeared in front of them, and he was still here guarding.
"If I see Roxy in the future, I will tell her to contact you."
Shirou said to Rowin like this.
"Thank you."
Rowin nodded gratefully for this.
He then took out a bag from his pocket and said, "By the way, this is some money from the Demon Continent that my wife prepared for you. Although there is not much, it should still be enough to stay in an inn for two or three nights."
Unexpectedly, the other party was willing to provide financial assistance. Shirou wanted to refuse, but he really couldn't say the words of refusal.
Because he, Ruijerd and Eris couldn't raise a single cent together now. If they went to a nearby town, they wouldn't even have the ability to stay for one night.
So Shirou took the money bag given by Rowin. After opening the bag, he found that it contained rough coins made of stone and coins made of dark gray metal.
This is undoubtedly the currency of the Demon Continent, namely green mineral money, iron money, scrap iron money, and stone money.
From the value of the currency, it can be seen how barren the Demon Continent is, and it is not even possible to use gold coins as currency.
Shirou thanked Rowin again, and then left the village with the people beside him.
…
It seems that it is necessary to walk for three days to reach the nearest town.
Shirou thought this would be an extremely difficult journey.
But unexpectedly, the process was surprisingly easy.
Because Ruijerd, who has been traveling alone for many years, knows the route very well, the preparations for camping are also perfect, and he also has the ability to scout. The surrounding monsters can be easily identified.
Shirou often even feels that he is of little use. All the things that need to be done can be done by Ruijerd.
So he simply practiced swordsmanship in the process, and also taught Eris swordsmanship.
At night, he studied and researched magic.
The whole life was no different from life in the Boreas castle.
However, although Shirou was enjoying the help provided by Ruijerd and living a peaceful life, Eris was obviously not this kind of person.
After only one day, she strongly expressed that she wanted to go with Ruijerd to destroy monsters.
Ruijerd was very resistant to this.
But Shirou felt that Eris's idea was not a problem.
After all, they will be living on the Demon Continent for a long time in the future. Although Shirou himself is very experienced in fighting monsters, Eris is obviously still too young.
If Eris can gain more experience in fighting monsters, then if she encounters danger in the future, there is no need to worry too much about her safety.
So, Shirou took the initiative to negotiate with Ruijerd, expressing that he wanted to fight monsters with him.
Ruijerd originally wanted to refuse, but under Shirou's strict attitude, he had no choice but to obey.
He is essentially a nice person to talk to. As long as Shirou gives a clear attitude, he can easily persuade him.
For the next two days.
The group went to a nearby town while fighting the monsters that passed by.
Because Shirou has had experience in fighting monsters since he was a child, he performed extremely easily in this matter. Many times even Ruijerd was surprised.
On the other hand, Eris has never been in actual combat. Although her swordsmanship is about to reach the upper level of the Sword God Style, there are often various flaws in the battle that require the assistance of the people around her.
"Shirou, you should already be a Sword Saint, right?"
After several battles, Ruijerd finally couldn't help but ask this question.
"I haven't gone to the Holy Land of Swords for the assessment yet, but I have basically mastered the Longsword of Light."
"As expected…"
Ruijerd looked at Shirou in surprise.
Even for him, who has lived for five hundred years, such a young Sword Saint is an extremely rare existence, and can be said to be a genius.
"Shirou, you should be able to easily pass the assessment in the Holy Land of Swords."
"Ruijerd, do you know the content of the Holy Land of Swords assessment?"
Shirou said with a little curiosity.
Ruijerd shook his head and said, "I haven't been to the Holy Land of Swords, but I have fought against the Sword Saints of the human race. Most of their strength is not as good as yours, at most it is just about the same as you."
Ruijerd gave a very high evaluation of Shirou's swordsmanship.
This made Shirou a little embarrassed instead.
But in fact, it is true. Shirou can be said to have been practicing the most extreme swordsmanship since he was a child. He even started hunting monsters when he was in his early teens, and tempered his sword energy in actual combat. His foundation is so solid and his swordsmanship is so refined that it is unimaginable for people of the same age.
Even in the Sword Saint level, Shirou is definitely not a weakling, and can even be said to be one of the best Sword Saints.
"But don't be too complacent."
Ruijerd seemed worried that Shirou would be too proud, "Demon Continent is a dangerous place. Even for a Sword Saint, it is very difficult to survive in such a place."
"I understand."
Shirou nodded.
He has experienced many dangers these days and deeply realized the difficulty of the Demon Continent.
If he didn't have the special skill of Mind's Eye, he would have fallen into danger countless times and it would be difficult to survive.
However, Shirou has made up his mind that he must survive on the Demon Continent, and he also plans to make a name for himself here as much as possible.
After all, Shirou is still concerned about the other members of the Greyrat family and urgently hopes to find clues about his family as soon as possible.
For this reason, he must make his name resound throughout the Demon Continent, so that his family members who may be scattered on this continent will know about him!
