章節 579: Chapter 579: My Greatsword Is Heavy, Don't Hurt Yourself
Lin Fan didn't intend to do anything to the Demonic Beast Boar King.
His thoughts were simple.
He just hoped the boar would leave quietly.
Uncle Shi killing the boar's son was indeed Uncle Shi's fault, but the son had destroyed Uncle Shi's crops, so it bore responsibility as well.
Therefore, this matter couldn't be simply judged as right or wrong.
Just as Lin Fan hoped, the Demonic Beast Boar King did want to slip away.
He controlled this group of wild boars and lived a comfortable life within the surrounding area, with no worries about food or drink. Life as the king of the boars was undoubtedly good.
Upon learning that his underling had been killed,
As a Demonic Beast, he decided to teach these humans a lesson. Initially, seeing the terrified expression on the face of the guy who killed his underling made him feel incredibly pleased and excited.
But who could have imagined that among those tiny humans, there would be a powerful individual?
The villagers, holding various weapons, were terrified.
"What should we do? That's a Demonic Beast! We can't possibly be a match for it."
"Are we all going to die here?"
"I'm so scared."
"I'm scared too."
Just then,
A delicate voice rang out.
"Enthusiastic fire spirits, heed my call…"
"Fireball!"
Suddenly,
A basketball-sized fireball flew from afar, landing directly on the Demonic Beast Boar King. It instantly exploded, completely engulfing the boar.
A moment later,
The flames vanished.
The Demonic Beast Boar King, already scared witless, collapsed to the ground with a loud thud, emitting the black smoke of roasted meat.
The villagers looked towards the distance
and saw a beautiful girl with long red hair, holding a magic staff, casting the spell.
"It's a mage…"
The villagers cheered, their faces filled with excitement.
Although they lived in the village, occasionally adventurers would pass through and purchase supplies from them, so they naturally knew of the existence of mages.
During the moment of danger, the village chief had cowered timidly in the crowd, not daring to show his face. Now, seeing the appearance of the mage, he walked out slowly, leaning on his cane.
"Thank you for your help."
As the village chief, he had to step forward at this moment to greet these powerful young people.
Although he was old, he truly envied these young people who could receive an education. When he was young, he also wanted to learn magic, but the key was that he had no money and no magical talent, which was a significant blow to him.
In the end, he had no choice
but to obediently return to the village, inherit his father's position as village chief, and live this dull and monotonous life.
If he were to choose again, he would still return to take over as village chief.
Lin Fan observed the four young people who had suddenly appeared.
Three women and one man.
Two of the women were mages holding staffs, while the other two carried large swords. One of the sword-wielding women had short hair and tanned skin, looking healthy and full of explosive power.
"It's nothing, it was just a one-star Demonic Beast, an easy opponent to deal with," the red-haired girl said.
She had just cast a first-level spell, but she was a little surprised that this kind of magic shouldn't be able to kill a Demonic Beast with one hit. She didn't know why this one-star Demonic Beast didn't react.
It was as if it was frozen in place.
It was really strange.
She thought to herself, maybe my magic has become stronger, that's why I was able to kill the Demonic Beast instantly.
The male warrior, the only one carrying a sword, walked up to the Demonic Beast and split its head open with a single stroke. A magic core rolled onto the ground. Although it was only a one-star Demonic Beast, even the smallest piece of meat was still meat, so how could it be wasted?
The village chief said, "It is truly an honor for our small village to welcome two great mages and two brave warriors. Please come into the village and sit down; we want to properly repay your kindness."
After being praised by the village chief, the four young people all smiled happily.
Sure enough, the smaller the place, the more respect they received for their professions.
If it were in a big city,
People in their situation would at most be minor members or hired by the rich and powerful as thugs. Where would they receive such respect as they did now?
Lin Fan glanced at them,
Muttering to himself,
They're all so weak.
But was what that red-haired girl did magic?
It was truly amazing.
Although he didn't know how she did it, he wanted to try it.
In the village,
At the village chief's house,
A group of villagers gathered outside, tiptoeing to look inside, treating the four young people like monkeys. Even a group of children squeezed their heads in, wanting to get a closer look.
Lin Fan stood in the crowd and asked curiously, "Was what she did just now magic?"
"Yes, it was magic. Isn't it amazing?"
"It is indeed amazing. How do they do it?" Lin Fan was quite curious and wanted to know how they did it. It was so magical. Of course, he wasn't too interested in the flames from earlier. He could also create flames out of thin air, and with even greater power.
The young villager said, "It's very profound. I've heard people say that to become a mage, you need talent. If you don't have talent, you can never become a mage. The village chief wanted to become a mage when he was young, but he obediently came back later."
"Talent?" Lin Fan was puzzled.
He didn't know what the talent they were talking about was.
Of course,
He was now just like the ordinary villagers, standing there watching. No one would think that among these ordinary people, there was an existence capable of destroying the world.
Inside the house,
The village chief enthusiastically served tea and water, entertaining the four young people.
The status of mages was higher than that of warriors.
Many warriors, after finding they had no magical talent and not wanting to live a mediocre life, would train their bodies diligently, developing powerful physiques, and eventually cultivating combat skills.
Of course, warriors might be stronger than mages in the early stages, but in the end, powerful mages could cause unimaginable destruction with a wave of their hands, a power comparable to that of gods.
"Village chief, is there a blacksmith in your village?" the male warrior asked.
His name was Rayne. He wore a leather vest and was very young, at most twenty years old. Faced with the villagers' enthusiastic praise, he felt a sense of elation, as if he had reached the peak of his life.
That feeling was simply too wonderful.
How he wished he could be praised like this in the future.
What a joyful thing.
The village chief said, "Yes, we happen to have a blacksmith in our village. However, our village's blacksmithing skills are not very good, and he can only make simple things. I don't know if it meets your requirements."
"It's fine, I want him to help me repair my greatsword. It cracked during a battle with a powerful Demonic Beast some time ago," Rayne said.
He naturally knew that there wouldn't be any master blacksmiths in such a dilapidated small village, so he never had any expectations.
"Alright, I'll send someone to call him over now," the village chief said.
The village hadn't been this lively in a long time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he would definitely promote the village and let the four mages and warriors feel their enthusiasm.
"Village chief, Lin Fan is right here," a villager shouted.
The village chief said, "Lin Fan, come here."
Lin Fan, standing in the crowd, was pushed forward. He didn't know what they wanted him to do. He came to the village chief and smiled, "Village chief, what do you need me for?"
He had completely immersed himself in his current identity.
I am just an ordinary villager in the village, making a living by blacksmithing. If they're looking for me, it must be related to blacksmithing. Otherwise, what else could it be?
"This is the hero who just saved our village," the village chief introduced.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Hello, Hero."
Pfft!
The red-haired girl couldn't help but laugh.
Rayne scratched his head awkwardly and said, "My name isn't Hero, it's Rayne. You're the blacksmith, right?"
"Yes, I'm the village blacksmith," Lin Fan said.
Rayne said, "Are you confident in your abilities? My greatsword cracked when I was fighting a very powerful Demonic Beast, and I want you to repair it for me. See if you can do it."
As soon as he finished speaking,
Rayne took the greatsword off his back and placed it on the table. The greatsword in front of them was a giant sword, quite intimidating to ordinary people. However, this type of large sword had high requirements for warriors. It was impossible to perform exquisite swordsmanship with it. Against enemies, it was probably all about heavy blows.
Lin Fan wanted to touch the greatsword. Rayne quickly reminded him, "Be careful, my greatsword is very heavy. Although you're a blacksmith and your strength shouldn't be small, if you're not careful, you could easily hurt yourself."
"Thank you for your concern, I'll be careful," Lin Fan smiled, feeling that the other person was quite kind.
He looked at it carefully, wondering if he could do it, then said, "I think I should be able to repair it."
"Good, I like your confidence," Rayne said with a smile.
This greatsword wasn't a particularly good weapon. If it were a truly good weapon, he wouldn't be willing to let a village blacksmith repair it. If something went wrong, he wouldn't have time to regret it.

The village chief patted Lin Fan's shoulder and said, "Work hard, this is the weapon of our village's benefactor."
"Yes, I know," Lin Fan nodded.
At the blacksmith shop,
Rayne and the others looked at the environment and couldn't quite believe it. In such poor conditions, he dared to call it a blacksmith shop. If this were in a big city, no one would be willing to buy weapons here all year round.
He would definitely starve to death.
Rayne worried that Lin Fan couldn't lift it, so he helped Lin Fan place the greatsword on the forging table, saving him the effort of lifting the sword and then not being able to hold the hammer.
Lin Fan was thinking about how to repair it later, then asked curiously, "How do mages cast magic?"
"You're interested in magic?" Rayne asked.
As expected,
People in small places were curious about magic.
Unlike in big cities, where mages were everywhere and not very popular, unless they could cast high-level magic, then they would receive true respect and attention.
Coming to this small village was really nice.
It also allowed them to show off a bit.
What a joyful thing.
