“Khh, khh! I don't plan on dying that easy! Poison Cloud! Darkness! ”
Puhhhhhhh!
When he reached out his hands, the dark veil and poison cloud that he had encountered before flew towards me at a rapid rate.
A fierce attack that could not be avoided by prediction at the time when it was brought up by photoexplosion.
“I'm sorry.”
As soon as I sensed danger, my right hand drew its sword and swung it into the air.
Tsuuaagh!
The venomous clouds and the dark veil that split in vain to make me want to get hit by my favorite attack.
The two broken spells fade away slowly, whether they were crushed or crushed with error.
“Oh, my God...! You monster! You've gotten stronger in the meantime! ”
“Funny how the real monsters call me a monster. ”
[I know! Who are you calling a monster?]
What's a little strange is that the magic was broken too easily, no matter how much stronger it was.
Concentrate on him with the widespread senses of questioning him.
‘... I think I'm weaker than before. ’
The amount of Mana I feel for him is small compared to the past.
He said he was a wizard with five circles at the time, so he could barely fit into four circles.
“I thought you had to use a mirror... but you're so weak." ”
“Khh...! It's all your fault! If you hadn't killed me...! ”
I slowly approached the skeleton-grumpy one step at a time.
“I can't believe you're doing this. You're getting a gift for being a good girl! ”
[Kaiyan didn't live well...]
1000 G is a high enough value to buy an Elixir.
The Richie I have to kill is weakened from time to time.
A few swipes of the sword will knock you down even if you don't buy an item.
“Now it's time to die. Don't even think about running. Looks like this is the last room. ”
Toowook.
“Oops! You can't die like this! ”
The man who was staggering backwards slammed into the wall behind him, panicking and raising his bare hands.
From pulling Mana up, it looks like you're going to use magic again.
Smash!
It is impossible from the beginning to believe that the Wizard of the Four Circles won against a Masterclass Swordsman for less than 10 meters.
Before he could spit out his magic, he approached his nose and drew his sword vertically.
Disperse!
The body of a guy that splits cold with a single blow.
“This... How did you get here...? ”
“Nice to meet you. If we can come back to life, we must meet again. ”
As I kicked the body of the slowly falling creature with my feet, the black bones turned to dust and scattered.
Puss.
Tiering! [You Level Up]
Sound level up notifications that have been ringing for a really long time at the same time.
“Leveling up? Oh, well... You must have accumulated quite a bit of experience over the years. ”
In particular, the experience gained by sweeping out pirates from the Pirate Islands must have been a good contribution.
[Wow, what a golden rich! Collect artifacts in one place, level them up to 1000G!]
“I know. Now let's check out the artifact. ”
Looking back at the corner of the wall, there was a large pouch, about half of an adult male.
You can't help but feel your heart beating in anticipation of what might have been there.
You walk slowly toward the pouch, holding Rieka, who is about to run out with a twinkle in her eyes.
[Oh! I knew it.]
“Why?”
[I thought there was a small amount of artifacts in several rooms, but there's an expansion spell in that pocket! And weight loss magic!]
“Oh, I see. ”
Does that mean there are at least twice as many artifacts as there are pockets?
It may be too big a greed, but I had no choice but to expect it.
The more artifacts you find, the more detailed you'll learn about the past.
“Here, let's check. ”
Flutter.
Open the opening of your pockets with both hands.
“I knew it!"
There was more space than I could see, and there were dozens, maybe hundreds, of different objects.
The most obvious of them is the black crystal sphere that darkens the heart just by looking at it.
“What is this...? ”
[I've never seen anything like it. I can feel the energy... It's just like the monsters at Harvard Maim.]
“Clearly... I never thought I'd feel this energy again in the continent of Unicia. ”
As I reached out my hand and pulled out the black crystal sphere, I felt a distinctive energy as I cooled through my fingertips.
A crystal sphere that contains so much energy that I think it would look like this if I had the heart of a Kanien I met in Rumbanium.
“I feel powerful... but I can't use it. ”
[I can't help it. But in case you haven't noticed, you should keep it.]
If you use the equipment, you can absorb it, but you don't know what will happen if you consume the monsters' energy because of greed.
‘Maybe I'm just like those monsters. ’
It's a terrible story to imagine.
You throw the polish away, open the locker, and put it in the crystal ball where you feel a lot of power. There's no safer place to store it than in a locker.
“Good. Let's take a look at the next one. ”
[I want to see! I'll categorize it for you!]
“Okay, hold on. ”
After stopping Rica from running out of her arms and going into her pockets, she lifts up her pockets and spills out the stuff inside.
Waar.
Items pouring endlessly as expected.
Although the size of the room was not that small, the space was getting smaller as the objects left one by one.
“Gems, statues... Hmm? Richie, you son of a bitch! You can leave the desk or the shelf. ”
I can't believe you have all this stuff in your real pockets, popping into desks and shelves with no energy.
I shook my head in disdain and put the useless items back in my pocket as soon as I could.
“Phew... That's a lot less sheep to clean up like this. ”
After taking out all the useless items under Rika's supervision, the items that looked like that were reduced to less than a tenth of a day.
This is 400G! This is an old but minor Recovery Potion! This is….]
When ready, Rica enters the classification process.
As Riika points to the object with her front foot, she quickly puts it in her locker.
[This is an artifact of three-circle wind magic. Is that... huh?]
Rica spits surprised voices pointing to an old sword when most goods are sorted.
“What's the matter? Is it good?”
[Hmmm... It's vague to say yes.]
“Is there a problem? It just looks like an old sword...”
Reaching out and taking a closer look at the old sword, you can see that the blade is not just worn out, but stained with blood.
“There's a stain. ”
[Dragon blood. It's covered in dragon blood.]
“… really? ”
Dragon Blood was the yellow glow I saw at the Lucuba Merchant Guild.
[Yes! But I lost a lot of blood strength because I couldn't store it well. Even if the owner of the blood is alive, it won't help much.]
“That's an odd piece of junk, in other words. ”
Practically worthless but highly valued as a ornamental or historical item.
I raised my sword high, thinking of the yellow glowing liquid that provoked greed.
“But I knew something good. ”
Like what?]
“Someone stabbed the legendary dragon with this sword. ”
And that someone has a very high probability of being human.
I don't know about the Ancient Era, but in this day and age, only humans and a handful of monsters use swords.
The least he could do is stab a dragon.
“Fascinating. I think it's a good idea to come to the ancient dungeons. ”
[Good thing Kaiyan was satisfied!]
Curiosity that began with the Baryon War grew even bigger as I met Lukan, and the moment I saw this sword, my curiosity grew from time to time and settled in one side of my mind.
“What the hell happened in the past? ”
[The Baryon War? Or a race war?]
“I'm curious about both of them, but what I'm really curious about is the far past. ”
A distant past that would have been the beginning of everything.
I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to imagine, but not even a little picture was drawn on my head.
“… well, it doesn't matter now. Let's get this over with and get to Antigas. ”
[Ha... This is really happening. I really wanted to go.]
“It's me, too. I'm starting to feel a little weird around here. I need to see with my own eyes what Hoslyan left behind. ”
[All right! You're almost done. Ah! Don't forget to buy some alcohol before you go!]
“I've already thought about it. ”
The first reason I wanted to stop by the country in the first place was to buy good beer.
It was a gift I wanted to give for Elder Elder Elder Elaine who was very good at keeping an eye on the Iraqi Sign and for Palmine who had listened to my request many times.
Shortly after the sorting of all the artifacts, Rika stretches her short forefoot out into the sky.
[Ugh... It's over!]
“Liekah, well done. Let's go.”
Yeah, um... Kaiyan, have we forgotten something?]
Leaping into your arms, Rica tilts her little face to see what comes to mind.
“Forgotten? I'm going to buy a beer now... And then I'll go straight to Antigas... Ah! We should try to contact Baran again. ”
[Is that it? I don't think so...]
I thought we'd hear from you after the subjugation, but they're not here yet, so I'm guessing something's wrong or the subjugation's longer than usual.
“You didn't mean not to call for a while, did you? ”
[No way. For Baran, Kaiyan is a lifesaver!]
“Right? Then... let's get out! To Antigua!”
[To Antigas!]
Level up, 1000G, an ancient relic.
It was so light that I stepped out because of the tremendous benefits.
* * *
A small room blocked by translucent walls.
There, nine people of all ages, from young boys to old men, sat in circles.
All those nine people had in common was that their expressions were very, very stiff.
The middle-aged man sighed deeply and opened his mouth.
“H-how long can I go out? ”
“He has to open the door to get out. ”
The answer to his question was the oldest of the people.
“I know that... but isn't Monsignor Munus frustrated? ”
“Huh... How frustrating for me. I want to go back to my family at least one day. ”
Moynus de Runter, former lord of the Runter family of the Garun Empire.
It was one of the nobles that Kaiyan rescued from the pirate islands. And the other eight were also the nobles who saved the day.
“Phew... Maybe they're moving to get us there. ”
Moynus spits out a positive word, but coming back to the crowd is a sigh.
“Even if it is, I want you out of here as soon as possible. How many days have I spent in this small place...”
“That's right. And after eating this filthy food over and over again, I wonder if my mouth will change like a commoner." ”
People complaining everywhere.
Particularly, the youngest of them opened their mouths with poison in their eyes.
“If I get out of here, I'll kill him in cold blood! If there's anyone who wants to kill him with me, tell me now. ”
The identity of the young boy is Chevina, a member of the Garun Empire, or the second Arsenal member of the House of Zacharias.
He was also the one who got hit by the night of honey when he entered the subspace screaming at Kaiyan without manners.
“Tsk, tsk. Arsenal, you'd better put that stupid idea behind you. ”
Moynus kicks his tongue as if he were pathetic at Arsenal's words, and he looks at him as if he were crazy.
“No, Monsignor, aren't you angry? This is how you treat us nobles! Even the pirates didn't treat us this way! ”
“Angry... I'm more curious about him than I am angry. ”
“What a mercenary...”
“Do you really think he's just a mercenary? ”
Arsenal bites her lip and shuts her mouth, trying to say something to Moynus' question.
It was hard to see Kaiyan as a mere mercenary, as he said.
“He breaks steel bars with his bare hands without a sword. ”
It was impossible for a knight who clearly uses error to break steel bars with his bare hands, not with a sword, unless he was a master of error.
In their common sense.
“Plus, they saved us from a pirate archipelago full of pirates. Of course, there were colleagues who weren't alone. ”
Moynus nods, admitting it.
“And... look at this space. I've never heard of such magical artifacts. ”
“Does that mean...? ”
“You mean he has a great wizard as a companion. Maybe one of the six wizards with only three people on the continent. ”
“I can't.... ”
Arsenal opens his mouth in shock, hearing Moynus' words.
“So don't say revenge. He hasn't forgotten us, either. Wait. ”
Moynus' words displease those who shut up.
Most of what he said was wrong.
And it's clear now that Kaiyan are forgetting.
“Khh, khh! I don't plan on dying that easy! Poison Cloud! Darkness! ”
Puhhhhhhh!
When he reached out his hands, the dark veil and poison cloud that he had encountered before flew towards me at a rapid rate.
