“Luin's holy light will save you. ”

“My lord Viyant, your servant requests help. Here...”

“May the light of healing shine upon you...”

Dozens of priests were pouring out divine power on the Countess, whether they had really brought all the priests from the territory of Karsia.

However, the Earl's wife slowly closes her eyes, spitting blood out from her mouth, whether the wound was too big.

“Ma'am...? What's the matter with you? Open your eyes! ”

The Archmage of Carsia waved her like she couldn't admit it.

“Ma'am...”

Once she closes her eyes, she can't open them anymore.

The priests who poured divine power on her shaken their heads and made a sad face.

“Why are you stopping? Hurry up and treat your wife...”

“Earl Karsia, your wife is already dead. The Countess had already lost too much blood when we came. ”

“Well, I can't...”

The monk shakes her a few more times as if he couldn't believe what the priest had said. Then he sits on the floor.

The knights make haste to retrieve the monarch, but he raises his hand and stops them.

“... Everyone step back. ”

“Yes? Ha, but my lord...”

“I want to stay like this for a while. You guys are cleaning up that noisy mansion. It won't take long. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

The knights and soldiers head down to take the priests away, thinking they couldn't break the Marquis' stubbornness.

The baron, who was watching, buries his face while holding the baroness with both hands when no one was around.

“…. How selfish of you. I can't believe you're leaving me alone. ”

I watched the monarch's emotionally stimulating words for a moment, just like when I lost Jeff.

“You…. ”

The Marquis of Carsia puts her dead wife in front of her and spits out one thing she couldn't say while she was alive.

Actually, she knew that he tried to kill him when he was a kid. Nevertheless, I kept it a secret because I wanted to get to know Baran.

Lian will make you live a happy and responsible life, so don't worry. Go home.

“Madam, do not hate Baran there. But now that Baran thinks you're his mother...”

The erl Karsia rises from her seat, whether she has said everything she wanted to say or not.

“Liekah, let me be seen only by the erl. ”

Yes, I did! You can see it now.

“Thank you.”

I walked slowly, deliberately yelling at the dazed baroness, and he turned his head and looked at me.

“… were you watching? This is embarrassing. ”

“No, I just got out of the basement. But the Countess... is dead. ”

“I see. What a fool. I shouldn't have done it for Lian...”

“I have nothing to say. I hope you'll cheer up for Baran and Lean. ”

“Thank you.”

My consolation is a little helpful, and he nods with a bitter look.

Then, after a moment of silence, he closed his eyes and turned his gaze away from his fallen wife.

“Kaiyan, did you stop the trap your wife set? ”

“Yes, I took care of the explosives in the basement. ”

“Thank you. I'll never forget my grace today. Let me know if there's anything I can do. ”

“Th-that's why. ”

I hesitated because I was a little sorry, and I tapped my shoulder as if he told me not to worry.

“Speak comfortably. ”

“I'd like to see what the Countess has. ”

“Hmm? What's that... wife's stuff? ”

A request that would be a little embarrassing to ask the person who just watched his wife die.

But I must check the presence of the Countess in her arms.

“Yes, is the Countess... going to be okay with what she has? ”

“I don't think you're joking... I see. Just a moment.”

The baron sighs for a moment, then approaches his wife and pulls out a small pocket from her chest.

“Are you talking about this? There's nothing in my arms but this bag. ”

“Yes, that's right. I want to check that pocket. ”

“Well, it's an expanding enchanted pouch. Well, suit yourself. ”

I bowed my head in gratitude to the baroness who gladly handed me my pouch and opened it inside.

As the Marquis said, the pouch was filled with various items, not to match the small size of the expansion pouch on the outside.

‘Exactly. Opening my pockets makes me feel better. ’

There's something about all that stuff that exudes the energy of Harvard Maim. Not only did it feel a little weak, but it was a pretty intense energy.

In order to make sure it was correct, I reached out my hand and took the contents of my pocket out one by one and put them down on the floor.

A beautiful necklace with a yellow jewel in it, an unknown piece of paper, and a ring that Manat can feel.

And last but not least, let's grab what's in our pockets and grab it with our hands.

Sahara.

The unbearable energy of Harv Mime sinks into your body with your fingertips.

‘... I found it. ’

To confirm the identity of the object, I put my hand into it and pulled it out.

“Hnng! Pretty heavy... Crate shaped artifact? ”

I didn't know because of the energy of Harvard Maim, but I could feel Mana in the box with my own eyes.

That means that this box contains the energy of the Half Mime is an artifact.

"What enchanted box? I would have figured it out if I had Rieka... ’

As I was trying to figure out what to do about the embarrassing situation, the Marquis of Karsia stood still and approached me.

“Huh... That's Jansen's stuff. ”

“Yes? This box? ”

“Yes. That box is the artifact I gave Jansen. I bought it as a gift because he suddenly said he was a merchant. ”

“Jansen... do you even know what this box does? ”

“Of course. Of course I know this because I gave it to you myself. ”

As long as you feel the energy of Harv Mime, you must check inside the chest, so look at the Marquis.

“It's an artifact used to store important things. It's designed to never open unless it's the right key. ”

“A key... What happens if you force it to break?" ”

“Then you won't be able to keep things inside. It's designed to close when a crate is hit hard. ”

“Then why don't you just smash it with more strength? ”

“If it were easy, the price of that box would have been 10,000 gold. And even if it did, it would destroy things inside. ”

“Work gold... I see. ”

Work gold is not that surprising to me right now, but there is only one feature with an artifact of that value.

A story is different if you have the ability to protect things.

That means that the chest is imprinted with magic much more powerful than the magic of any ancient artifact.

‘What do I do... I have to check inside. Do you think it'll break the shrapnel if you force it to break? ’

The best way to get to Rikka is to carry the box as it is, but now that the Marquis sees it, he won't allow it.

After all, this is the relic left by his son, Jansen, and the Countess.

“Did you check what you were going to check? ”

“Well... actually, to do that, we need to open this box. Is there any way to open the chest? ”

“As I said before, you need a key to open the chest. But considering the key didn't come out of my pocket...”

“That means there's a good chance Jansen had it. And he... died a long time ago. ”

“Hmmm, I see. Most of Jansen's belongings were burned by his wife, so it will be hard to find the key now. ”

So there's no way to check this box right now.

However, it is a pity that this box is too uncomfortable to give up.

Even if I get fragments, there's no way I can use them, but I can't just leave things with too much power.

‘The key... Where did he put it?' ’

If I were Jansen, how would I have kept the key?

I closed my eyes for a moment and thought about it, but I didn't think what I deserved. I haven't been close to him in a long time.

Kaiyan, what's wrong?

I stepped back slightly, conscious of the Marquis of Honor staring at my wife, dumbfounded by Rika's question in my ear.

“Jansen left something behind, but he needs a key to open it. I think there's debris in there. ”

If it's a key... Hmm... should we look for a magical artifact that opens doors in the store? Scroll.

“I've been thinking about Unlock Magic, but would it be that easy to open a work gold artifact? ”

If it's work gold... That's right.

Before you learned magic from Garon, you would have tried.

I know that it is impossible because I have the knowledge I gained from spending a year with him in the records.

“The key to unlocking this chest must have been enchanted. That means you need a matching key. ”

Well, maybe it's a little expensive, but why don't you use a high-end magic scroll? Some high level enchantments also allow you to easily open closed chests.

“Senior magic has at least seven circles... I have to think about it if I don't have a solution. ”

I'm glad Rieka didn't say attack magic, but I'm sure that 7-Circle Magic will hold a tremendous price.

That's why I was hesitant to use all the remaining G's in a situation where I knew what would happen if I went to Harv Mime right away.

“Phew... Kaiyan, what are you going to do? ”

While thinking about it for a moment, the Marquis who closed his wife's eyes with his hands stood up.

“My Lord, if you don't mind, may I have a little more of this box? ”

“The chest? Hmm... I'm sorry, but I trust you understand I can't give you and Jansen's belongings. ”

“I know. One hour. I just want to have the box for one more hour. ”

“An hour. Got it. Looks like there's something in that box you're desperately looking for. Then I'll go to the mansion. Come see me in an hour. ”

“Yes, Your Highness. ”

As if I could understand the time, the prince glanced at his wife's corpse and walked back to the mansion.

“Then I'll move on, too. I get nervous when I don't want to see it. ”

In a few moments, the acolytes will rush over and take care of the corpse of the Countess.

But seeing her die during that time, I immediately moved on because I was uncomfortable. Finding a place where no one will disturb me.

“Ha... How can I open the chest without using so much power?" If it wasn't for the artifact, it would have just destroyed everything. ”

Then won't Earl Karsia look at him like an enemy?

“But I saved Varane's life after all. You might hate it a little bit. ”

Then let's just smash it! Kaiyan's power should be enough to break them!

“… it's better to use G. Varane will be in trouble if things go wrong between him and me. ”

This is something bears really need to think about.

Do you use massive G's to check for suspected but uncertain items? Or are you thinking about going to Harvard Mime to hold off debris confirmation and save G's?

Right now, none of these situations can be more right or right.

It doesn't matter if Harv Mime is what I remember it to be, even if it doesn't have a G. Now, Harv Mime isn't what it used to be.

No one knows how many monsters there are and what they need to level up quickly.

“Although it's right to move on to the best state.... I'm too embarrassed to leave it behind. ”

That Jansen guy. He tortured me while I was alive, and then he died, and that hasn't changed.

I blamed myself for watching Jansen die in vain in the past.

“If you knew this, you'd get everything you could before Baran kills Jansen... and then what? ”

What, did you come up with something good?

At that moment, one memory came to mind.

“Liekah, did we just go outside after Jansen died? I think I did...”

It's an old memory, but if I remember correctly, Baran and I went out immediately.

To heal Baran's wounded escort.

What about Rica? Did she just go outside?

Huh? Ah! Ring! I brought you the ring that dead Jansen was wearing!

“A ring... you mean a silver ring? ”

Yes, that ring!

“And an artifact with unlocked magic. ”
