The Exiled First-born of the Noble House. Rising to the Top With the Worthless Skill [Null Poison]

tite adventurers probably know a lot more, and I was hoping to at least meet the [Sword Saint] of their party at least once.
I figured he might know some things as well.

And my last option was to go to [Magic Cave].

This was also in regards to the First hero’s equipment, and I was hoping to get some info on these ‘Runes’ that Aaron had told me about from the old man.

Considering how the old man researches Golems for a living, surely he must be well versed with Runes so……….He might reveal the secrets of the Runes inscribed on the Vendettatein as well.

After spending a couple of minutes in deep thought, I finally made my decision.

“I’m heading to the old golem guy.”

Going to the [Magic Cave] just seemed like the easiest choice.

Muttering to myself, I made my way towards my destination.

With familiar steps, I went inside the store, and reached the usual room where the old man is always working.

The room was filled with smoke as always, so I knew he was still working inside.

I knocked on his door and once the old man was ready, I entered the room.

“Well, well, if it isn’t Chris.
Came to say your farewells?”

“No, actually, I’m here to ask you about something.”

“You want to learn something from me at this point? If you’re here to ask for safe route to the capital, I’m the wrong person to ask for advice.”

“Why would I come for just that………….I wanted to learn more about Runes from you actually.”

The moment I said the word ‘rune’, the old man’s eyes changed instantly.

This is obviously this man’s speciality, and I’m sure he’s always pent up from not being able to talk to anyone about it………..ad judging from his reaction, I have a feeling the old man is going to give me a long explanation about anything I ask.

“………..Why did you suddenly get so interested in Runes?”

“Ah so you do know a lot about them eh? The reason I wanted to know about runes is because I recently found a weapon that has Runes engraved on it.
I can’t seem to figure out how they work so I wanted to learn more.”

“A weapon with runes eh……………very well.
Show me this weapon that has runes, and I will gladly explain everything about it.”

“Sure.
I look forward to the explanation.”

I pulled Vendettatein out of its sheathe, and handed it over to the old man.

I had planned on showing him the sword regardless, but I hope he can really help with understanding the sword’s abilities as well.

“Swords are not my speciality, but I can tell this is a really high quality sword.
Even I can tell that much.——-!! Oh there really are runes engraved on it! And this rock, is it a Vampire Jewel? I see! Now  that’s an interesting mechanism!!”

He continued to mutter to himself, and began to heat up and get excited the more he observed the sword.

Since he’s mostly talking to himself, I can’t really gain much from what he’s muttering, so I guess I just have to wait for him to calm down.
