Overlord: The Multiverse

Chapter 17: Grimgar

I straightened my posture, trying to look as dignified as possible despite the fact that I was essentially asking for a weapon to match my undead status. "I need a blade that screams 'vampire chic'," I declared, trying to inject a hint of sophistication into my voice. "You know, something that says, 'I'm here to conquer the night, but I've still got time for a spot of tea.'"

Grimgar blinked, clearly taken aback by my unusual request. "Tea, huh?" he muttered, scratching his head in confusion. "Well, I s'pose we could fashion you a blade fit for a blood-sippin' aristocrat."

With a flourish, he rummaged through a nearby chest, producing a dusty old tome bound in cracked leather. "Behold, the Book of Eldritch Forging," he proclaimed, holding the ancient tome aloft like a prized trophy. "Inside these pages lie the secrets to creatin' a weapon that'll make even the gods sit up and take notice."

I leaned in closer, my curiosity piqued. "Sounds fancy," I remarked, eyeing the weathered pages with interest. "But what's the catch?"

Grimgar grinned, a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Ah, now that's the fun part," he chuckled, flipping through the musty pages with a practiced ease. "To forge a weapon worthy of a vampire of your caliber, we'll need a few... shall we say, exotic ingredients."

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by the prospect. "Exotic ingredients, huh?" I echoed, trying to suppress a nervous chuckle. "Sounds like a trip to the local market won't cut it."

Grimgar let out a hearty laugh, his voice echoing through the cavernous forge. "You got that right, lad," he boomed, clapping me on the back with a force that nearly knocked the wind out of me. "But fear not! Ol' Grimgar's got a few tricks up his sleeve. We'll have that sword forged in no time."

I nodded, steeling myself for the challenges ahead. "Alright then, let's hear it," I said, trying to sound more confident than I felt. "What exactly are we looking for?"

Grimgar's grin widened, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "First up, we'll need a vial of pure dragon's blood," he explained, ticking off the ingredients on his fingers as he spoke. "Then, we'll need a shard of moonstone from the heart of the forest, and finally, blood of a phoenix."

I couldn't help but whistle, impressed by the daunting task ahead of us. "Sounds like quite the scavenger hunt," I remarked, trying to keep my spirits up despite the overwhelming odds. "Any idea where we can find these... uh, exotic ingredients?"

Grimgar scratched his head, his brow furrowing in thought. "Blood of a phoenix from Múspellsheim, vial of pure dragon's blood from Asgard, moonstone from Álfheim," he muttered, ticking off the names of the realms on his fingers. "Not exactly your average shopping list, I'll give ya that."

I let out a low whistle, the gravity of our quest sinking in. "Well, we're not exactly your average shoppers," I quipped, flashing Grimgar a grin. "But hey, if it was easy, everyone would be doing it, right?"

I replied with a grin, giving Grimgar an exaggerated salute. "Guess it's time for this vampire to spread his wings and fly solo."

Grimgar chuckled in response, "Just remember to keep an eye out for any fire-breathing birds and overprotective dragons, eh?"

I grinned, feeling a surge of excitement coursing through my veins. "Ah, don't you worry about me, Grimgar," I said, clapping him on the back with a playful wink. "I've dealt with worse in my time. Besides, what's an adventure without a little danger, am I right?"

Grimgar chuckled again, shaking his head in amusement. "Aye, ye've got a point there," he admitted, his smile widening. "Just promise me ye'll be careful out there, lad. The last thing I need is another customer getting themselves killed on my watch."

I saluted him theatrically, grinning from ear to ear. "Don't you worry about me, Grimgar," I reassured him with a grin. "I'll be back before you can say 'bloodsucking fiend.'"

Grimgar let out a hearty laugh, slapping his knee in amusement. "Ah, there's the spirit, lad!" he exclaimed, clapping me on the back once more. "Just remember to bring me back a souvenir, eh? Preferably something shiny."

I chuckled at Grimgar's request, already picturing myself returning triumphantly with a bag full of treasures. "Consider it done," I replied with a wink. "I'll see if I can find you a gemstone as big as your beard."

With one last wave to Grimgar, I turned and made my way out of the bustling forge, excitement bubbling within me like a cauldron of potion. As I stepped back out into the streets of Nidavellir.

And I, Alexander Seductus Von Mortis, was ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

And my first challenge is in Asgard to collect pure dragon's blood.
