Given the provided story, I'll evaluate it based on the specified criteria for Tragedy Degree and Comedy Degree.

### Tragedy Degree Evaluation:
- The story includes elements of risk, danger, and the potential for corruption, highlighting emotional and moral challenges.
- However, it doesn't dwell on profound personal loss or despair and instead focuses on overcoming obstacles.
- There is a moderate tragic element in the weight of responsibility and the perils Alaric faces, as well as the fate of those who sought the sword before him.

### Comedy Degree Evaluation:
- The story contains heroic moments and a sense of light-hearted triumph over adversity.
- Alaric's successful return and heroic deeds bring a positive and uplifting conclusion to the narrative.
- While it does not feature strong comedic elements or explicit humor, the ending is relatively happy and emotionally satisfying.

Based on the above assessment, the scores would be:
- Tragedy Degree: 5 (Moderate tragic plots with some emotional setbacks)
- Comedy Degree: 6 (Relatively light-hearted with a satisfying ending, though not explicitly comedic)
