Chapter 223: Honest and aboveboard
Seeing the daughter of the uncle next door receiving the gift, Denethor also looked over here eagerly, but when he met Levi's gaze, he quickly turned his head away, looking indifferent.
With a smile, Levi temporarily ignored this interesting boy and walked directly to Senger and Ecthelion.
Then, he took out two golden apples.
"What is this?"
Ecthelion stared at the two round and glowing apples in Levi's hand, which were the best treasures in the world, and couldn't bear to blink.
This thing is so beautiful and perfect.
"Golden apples, as you can see, are made of a lot of gold."
"It can be eaten, and it has the power of healing and protection. Even if the heart is pierced, as long as it is not dead, it can bring people back to life."
"This..."
This is too precious!
There was a faint throbbing in his heart, and the heir to the prime minister and the prince of Rohan in front of him opened their eyes wide.
Could it be?
They were a little unsure, even if this was what was going to happen in nine out of ten cases.
"I present these two apples to you, hoping they can help you."
"This is a treasure that can be called a heirloom. I will list it as a family treasure and pass it down from generation to generation. I will never use it unless my life is at stake." Ecselion solemnly took the golden apple.
"Me too."
Senger also took the golden apple and bowed slightly.
However, after receiving the gift, Ecselion was a little troubled.
Originally, his father gave Levi a precious dagger with great symbolic significance and mixed with some mithril, as well as the promise of the Prime Minister's family as a reward.
But now he has given Levi a more precious item in return.
It's another favor... but this favor is completely irresistible.
Ecselion carefully put away the golden apple and kept it in mind.
After sending all these things, Levi temporarily left the banquet hall. Ecselion and Senger's families discussed in the hall. Everyone guessed that he went to the kitchen to cook, after all, this was agreed before.
But obviously they were wrong.
As soon as he left the reception hall, Levi found a secluded place, put down the ender box, took out the enchantment table, bookshelf, lapis lazuli and anvil from it, and rubbed out an iron sword on the spot.
Then, enchant.
Buzz——
The book turned, and the lapis lazuli turned into a stream of light and merged into the iron sword, showing its properties:
Durability III, Undead Killer IV.
"Hiss——"
This is unlucky, how could an Undead Killer pop up.
Given the current situation where most of the enemies are Orcs and humans, the role of the Undead Killer is really limited, and its cost-effectiveness is far less than sharpness.
But...
Levi thought about it, and randomly enchanted a few books, and brushed out another Undead Killer IV, merged it with the iron sword, upgraded the Undead Killer to level five, and then took out a book of experience repair stored in the ender box and attached it to this sword.
Now this is a solid iron sword that specializes in breaking the undead.
Of course, Levi himself doesn't need this thing. The ancient elf blessing attached to the 'nemesis' has a very wide effect that Levi calls "evil killer". It has a restraining effect on all evil forces, including the undead.
So, he definitely doesn't plan to use this sword himself.
As for who it is for...
Levi packed up all the things he had put out and got up to walk to the reception hall.
…
In the corner of the hall, Denethor leaned against the wall, feeling depressed.
Looking at his father and mother who were chatting happily and his uncle's family next door, he just felt that human joys and sorrows were not connected.
As for why——
There was a child present who didn't receive a gift. Guess who it was?
Does he actually hate me?
Denethor frowned and began to recall all his experiences with Levi from the time they met until now.
It seems that nothing unpleasant has happened, right?
If I have to say something that might make him hate me, it would be that I challenged him when we first met, but I was also abused in that battle!
Isn't it a proof of courage to dare to challenge the strong?
This is what my father taught me. A truly brave person will not attack the weak to show his existence.
Is this wrong?
His face became more and more gloomy, and a different kind of negative emotion rose in his heart, and there was even a tendency to turn in a bad direction.
Just when this emotion was about to be pressed, Denethor raised his head suddenly, and his mind suddenly became clear.
He suddenly remembered some storybooks he saw in the study. There was such a plot in one of the fables:
A generous gentleman gave gifts to most of his friends, but not to one person. Because of this, the person felt resentful. Even if the gentleman had not done anything to offend him, he had no obligation to give him anything.
People with high morals should not be like this.
'Do I want to be a petty person who holds a grudge because of such a trivial matter? '
Oh, I won't!
The haze dissipated immediately, and confidence emerged on his face.
Click.
Just as he was thinking, a big hand patted the stubborn boy on the shoulder.
This pat made Denethor shudder all over. He turned his head and saw that Levi had stood beside him without knowing when.
"You look good. I thought you would be depressed."
Levi seemed a little surprised.
"Why should I be depressed?" Denethor still looked like a stubborn kid.
"Not bad."
Without going into this topic any further, Levi handed over the newly enchanted iron sword and said:
"You don't lack anything precious, kid."
"So I'm going to give you an iron sword made by me. It's not as sharp as the elves' swords, nor as delicate and easy to use as the dwarves' weapons - it's just a standard iron sword, maybe ordinary, but strong enough."
"I'm giving it to you, and I hope your will can be like iron and never yield."
Denethor looked at the iron sword in Levi's hand in silence, and after a moment he lowered his head and took it with a very solemn and serious expression.
"I will always keep it with me."
Denethor held the sword, not knowing if it was an illusion, there seemed to be some obscure brilliance on it that was not easy to detect, but when he looked closely, that brilliance disappeared.
Hula——
After a while, fireworks rose in the kitchen, and Levi synthesized a lot of pots and pans on the spot, cooking various dishes.
Thanks to the complete ingredients brought by the roadside caravan, local dishes or special dishes from other places were made by Levi and served one by one.
The skills made the chefs who helped him stare at them.
Today, after many times, Levi can skillfully fry, stir-fry, boil, stew and deep-fry even without the assistance of the synthesis system.
Anyway, there are only a few fixed steps, and he has memorized them after doing them so many times.
In this small banquet that was not so solemn and the occasion was not very formal, but actually more like a family gathering, the two families experienced Levi's cooking skills that were rarely mentioned in the rumors.
"Many cooking methods are quite fresh and very innovative, it's simply a new school..."
This is the evaluation of the chef who helped him.
Good food must be paired with good wine. On this day, Exelian and Senger couldn't help drinking a little more and talking.
It was at this time that Levi mentioned what Charlie, the head of the caravan, said.
"I never like to hide things from my friends, so I have to tell you something, Senger."
"You say." Senger listened very seriously.
"Your father, King Finger of Rohan, tried to use force to seize the caravan of Roadside Castle some time ago and swallow all the goods they carried."
"For this kind of robbery, I want to say: I will go to him and make him realize his mistake."
"This is what I want to say and what I want to do, and I am only making a public announcement in advance so that you know why all this happened."
In other words, this is just a notice and will not be changed because of anyone's face or anything else.
Unable to stop it.
Bang!
Senger suddenly knocked on the table, and his emotions were obviously very excited.
This posture scared everyone.
"Can I join you?"
He said something that was a little surprising, but not too surprising.
