Chapter 178: 178
Bernard just laughed . As Evan and Rose had said, it wasn’t really new . If given enough time, this guy would be able to break through the 70th floor .
“Sure . It’s hard to find a child that is so rewarding to teach, even among the elves . ”
“Thank you for teaching him, Iloin . Please look forward to her growth in the future . ”
“Right . Anyway, my grandpa got stronger, so I struggled . ”
“This time, I’m trying to have all of our kids clear the 20th floor . ”
[That annoying elf is back . ]
“Ahh, I hate Arisha! You interfere every time!”
[That’s nothing new, Bernard . ]
“…Evan, be nice to Leo . ”
The Silk Line nobles, regardless of whether they were male or female, had the custom of calling their fathers ‘father’ at a young age, and now even Evan was doing so .
“Grandpa, Bernard . I need to talk about metal refining . ”
Of course, she had talked to Bernard in advance . The very rare and highquality karate metal had been coming in large quantities from the Leonine Duchy, given the Brotherhood Corporation’s exclusive contract with them .
Evan urged Bernard as she lined up the materials on the table . Bernard reached out and gently ruffled Evan’s hair .
“Then, if you’ll excuse me . ”
“You didn’t even think about hiding your special abilities anymore . ”
“Whoo, smells good . ”
“But not this time . I think she did a lot of research on her own based on her last failure . ”
Evan replied without hesitation, and Bernard nodded . Evan tilted her head, wondering if something had happened to him .
“Well, it’s not new . ”
“For reference, which floor?”
[You really are Bernard’s disciple . ]
Bernard was staring right at him, but Rose was nodding his head in satisfaction . While Rose and Evan shook hands (although Rose’s hand was so small that she only held out one finger), Bernard continued to speak to Evan .
“There’s no need to say it . ”
“Uh…I don’t know . ”
Hannah held up two fingers in response . It meant they had cleared up to the 20th floor, he had a proud expression on her face, having apparently overcome his dungeon phobia . Evan smiled .
“He’s trying to give me another weird skill! she really doesn’t have time for anything other than practice, and he’s dying to torment me again…”
“Isn’t it after the first letters of our names? Putting my initials there even though I had nothing to do with it…”
“No . ”
“Before Princess Anastasia, let’s make Grandpa Leo’s greatsword first…as a bonus, I’ll make something for Aria as well . ”
“Oh, I didn’t tell you before . This is great on its own, but in fact, it can be mixed with a few other common metals to make a better alloy . The name EB metal will be attached to the alloy . ”
“I’m no genius like my grandpa . ”
“Yeah, but maybe you can improve it . ”
“Oh my god, Evan . You’re here?”
“Did you give it a name?”
Of course, Evan’s level was also higher than it was then . He vaguely recalled fragments of her previous life’s memories, but she had written down the types and proportions of the metals that went into the alloy on a piece of paper and presented it to Bernard .
“You’re noisy, boy . I know the arrangement…what?”
“Follow me, Lua . ”
“Only up to the 30th floor . ”
“Let’s improve it a little bit more based on this . Still, if possible, I would like to produce results within the day . I have to enter the dungeon again tomorrow . ”
“Grandpa and your group also came out after clearing up to the 70th floor with the knight commander . The knight commander and the Ironwall knights were rather happy, as was my father . ”
“Right?”
“It’s all thanks to you . Leo, Aria, and Iloin wouldn’t have been capable of such dramatic achievements at this age if it hadn’t been for the training you taught
me . ”
“Sometimes, a shortcut isn’t bad, no? because of that; this was attainable . ”
“… Come on, you know . ”
“Serena, this way . ”
“If there is a way to become strong, I can’t resist it . That is the reason for this world . ”
“It’s nothing new, Grandpa . ”
“Heh, if anyone heard, they’d think you were our guardian . ”
It was truly cheeky; however, she couldn’t condemn Evan’s sincerity . His concern for Leo and Bernard weren’t so light . Every time she felt it, Bernard felt strangely embarrassed . It was like she had a son .
‘Leo probably feels like that…’
“Oh, it’s been a while, master . ”

“Boo, act a little shy . Don’t lick it!”
“The dungeon at this time . Isn’t your birthday in a few days?”
“It seems that Leo prepared a pretty big present for your birthday . ”
“…I shouldn’t just go into the dungeon . ”
On her thirteen birthday, Leo had tried to give him one of her own skills, a footwork technique that not only provided rapid movement but could also be applied in a variety of ways in combat . The name of it was ‘Lion Run,’ a unique skill that not everyone could learn . It fit Leo’s fierce fighting style best . Evan’s technique had increased a lot in training, but in the end, she couldn’t learn the skill itself…
“Well…I don’t know that much . ”
“Then, it will be called EB metal . ”
“By the way, Grandpa Bernard . ”
If Bernard salad that, it made it seem like Leo was working hard . In the end, she had examined why Evan didn’t receive his skill…Evan smiled bitterly, recalling Leo’s expression at that time .
“Evan . ”
“Yes, you’re always like that . ”
“Not that…won’t you get a birthday present from Leo this time? Would you like to take one to him as well?”
“That’s right .
Evan hugged Bernard, who responded bluntly and then fell off him . At that moment, lloin, having just finished training, entered the medicine room alone .
‘But with Bernard, the legendary alchemist, we can create more than that . ’
“Yes . ”
“I’ve seen some artifacts containing this metal before, but I don’t know its name . This can be salad to be the first time it has properly appeared in human history . Do you know what I mean? Boy, it means you are writing a new history . ”
“Yeah?”
Arisha firmly caught hold of Serena, who had been trying to cling to Evan . Evan felt grateful for her…although Arisha would do the same to him when his opportunity came .
In fact, Bernard didn’t initially think that Evan’s training would be so expedient . The logic that governed this world had always been the rationality of irrationality . Ever since she saw the demon’s vision of the Demon King and the Rose Queen, she had always thought so .
“Huh? You weren’t here before . I heard you and Serpina entered the dungeon . ”
Not long ago, their party had safely reached the 70th floor with the knight commander . Bernard sighed as she recalled what Leo had said and quietly called out Evan’s name .
“Going forward, let’s focus on our alloy . ”
“Ah…”
Evan stopped and thought of Bernard’s words . Then she remembered that Leo had been complaining a lot about her favorite greatsword .

“I did take care of my grandpa’s birthday, but…that’s right, it certainly wouldn’t be a bad idea to make him a greatsword . ”
“Because I’m in charge of all of Jin’s education except for the morning joint session, her growth is clear . ”
“in the future, I will acquire help from you in relation to the EB metal, and for that, I will pay you in advance . ”
“Huh?”
Evan held Bernard’s gaze and looked at him sternly .
“What happened to Grandpa Leo? Does Grandpa Leo have an anklet that calls out for the Demon King or something like that too?”
“Won’t the other guys complain?”
Evan waved goodbye and left the room . Hannah, standing behind the counter, greeted him .
Bernard shouted at Evan, while Rose rolled around and laughed happily without knowing what was funny . From the reaction, it seemed that it wasn’t a crisis related to Leo’s life . But the next moment, Evan had a flash of intuition .
“Wow . ”
“That…”
Bernard was speechless, so it seemed to be the correct answer . Evan nodded, remembering that Leo had been oddly quiet recently . she was hoping that she would settle down in the dungeon city like this…after all, things didn’t seem to work that easily . Evan pouted slightly .
“Geh, is it another strange skill?”
“It’s not like that, boy! For more details, you can listen to Leo directly!”
Evan showed the metal that had been mined to Bernard as they met in the medicine room as always . Bernard, looking at it closely with her alchemytrained eye, was quick to draw conclusions about it .
Evan groaned and soon picked up the metal bar that had been perfectly alloyed, she realized she couldn’t solve this through thinking alone .
So, the name of the metal became EB metal . It was a name that had nothing to do with Anastasia or the Duchy of Leonine, where the metal was mined, but she didn’t care at all .
“Aria will be thrilled . Then, I’ll diligently focus on alloying . ”
“Please, Grandpa . ”
“With that, extracting the Devil Rune and making the Elixir, rest still seems far away . ”
“It’s far . This Grandpa shouldn’t leave me anytime soon…you still have 45 more years left . ”
“Jin must be happy . ”
“If you postpone going into the dungeon for that reason, Leo will be angry . ”
“I’m back, Bernard!”
“Oh, why?!”
“Practice together . ”

“Of course, you already know the ratio, right?”
“Then I’ll take this to Horta . Actually, as a part of the transaction, I decided to make an armament for Princess Anastasia first . ”
lloin hugged Bernard tightly and sniffed him, burying his face into his neck . Then, he started making noises as he kissed her neck . What a lewd elf… Evan nodded, remembering what Rose had once said . Bernard’s cheeks turned red .
As one of the main enemies of Yoma Great War 4 was the pseudo-religious group to which Rin and Lan belonged, the research on the metals used by their soldiers were actively conducted by the players . And…what’s to hide, because in her previous life she had learned a considerable level of alchemy even in that game, which she played for less than three weeks . she had succeeded in creating an alloy of karate metal in cooperation with other alchemist players . The recipe Evan knew now was from that time .
“No, let’s go now . Iloin’s training lasted a while . ”
“Yes, so I’m only going to clear up to the 30th floor before my birthday and come back . ”
“It must be . I’m going to take him into the dungeon this time . ”
“That was real?”
“I want to go!”
Evan D . Sherden, Turning Fourteen (3)
“I have to work hard not to fall behind . Still, don’t work too hard . ”
Even though they had confirmed that they would enter the dungeon with Anastasia, it wouldn’t be possible to enter right away . They would need to enter tomorrow . Evan asked Anastasia to practice with the other knights, as she had other things she had to deal with .
“Yes, master . ”
[There’s no way an ignorant person like him can use a complex karate trick like me! Hahahahaha!)
“As long as we can acquire a supply of karate metal bases, we can make it bit by bit with materials from the dungeon . But for now, Princess Anastasia’s work is urgent . ”
Five hours passed, and Evan finally acquired an alloy she liked . His level was different from when she made it with the players of Yoma Great War 4, and now there was the legendary alchemist Bernard with him . There may be some room for improvement in the future, but at the moment, they had succeeded in creating the strongest magical metal possible .
“We just came out a while ago, and I went back to work after a bath . ”
“No . ”
This metal first appeared in Yoma Great War 4 . At the time, the pseudoreligious group that occupied the mines gave it a name related to the god they worshipped, but that didn’t fit now .
lloin smiled brightly as he hugged Bernard .
“…Is Grandpa Leo going to leave the dungeon city?”
“Where are you going, master?”
“Ah, really!”
Evan left the pharmacy with Belois after successfully disheartening Hannah .
Horta was very burdened with the fact that she had to make the hero’s armament, but eventually, she ended up accepting Evan’s request
