Episode 101

It took fortnight and two more days to return to Summer Turge.

I had to deliver the news of the death of the expedition, but there was no data to submit as evidence, so I kissed my mouth that the ground collapsed due to the explosion.

“There are so many.”

Each of them recuperated for a day and gathered at the technical department.

The artifacts piled up on the table in a precarious manner were glittering, and each one was a treasure equivalent to an empire’s territory.

“Rox, why didn’t you hide it?”

“The Enfirians will also ask for it.”

Didn’t hide it from the gateway.

It would have been enough to get one sack from the top, but it didn’t.

I deliberately showed off as if I was showing off. The so-called flex was also intended from the beginning. Rumors must be spreading

I asked the opposite.

“What if I hid it and came back?”

“Couldn’t we have gulp them all?”

“It will be difficult to deal with.”

It was as Hira said.

Artifacts weren’t common, and unless it was the princess, Ai-nim, they were suddenly too conspicuous for students to wear.

“What are you doing with hundreds of them?”

There is no problem with a character wearing multiple artifacts at the same time.

However, artifacts with the same series of effects do not overlap.

For example, if I already have the [Typhoon’s Devotion] artifact and wear ten more artifacts that increase the power of wind attribute magic, nothing will change.

It was also common knowledge.

“Still, there was no need to show off and show off, wasn’t it?”

“A fair report would be a way, but it’s faster to spread rumors anyway. Word of mouth spreads among the upper ranks the fastest.”

It is an upward route that goes to and from the four countries of Rongrut, Mash, Liden, and Enpyrian.

The students of Summer Turge are said to have dozens of artifacts wrapped around their bodies. Then, naturally, attention is bound to be drawn.

Baeller smiled dejectedly and asked.

“Then do you have all of this?”

“Ah, but we did the hard work, so if you have a few items you want, you can take them first.”

I said, scattering the artifacts widely on the desk.

“The rest is scattered all over the continent.”

Exchangeable items will be paid if necessary, but most will be free rentals.

In fact, one artifact does not make a great difference.

To put it bluntly, out of all the artifacts here, none is as good as the [Typhoon’s Devotion] that I possess. This is because the original artifact itself is not a fraudulent item.

However, if there are hundreds, the story is different.

It’s like taking the overall power to the next level, and at that point, it’s obviously going to have a huge impact.

Positive variables can be expected.

“Shall we take only three?”

“Rox doesn’t seem to be greedy.”

“Then four… … ? Frid, you choose one more.”

“Why am I getting another one?”

I’m quite laid-back, Ai-nim is a princess, Baeller is clearly recognized for her position in the imperial family, and Hira is probably the richest among them.

What about Frid?

“You have no money.”

“ah.”

Poor Frid.

As with the soil attribute, there is no money.

You only need to safely put one of them on the auction house of the Sorcery Society.

The rich wizards will turn on the light in their eyes and run, so won’t they earn enough to live on for generations?

“It will take some time to check them all.”

“Today, then, shall we have feelings?”

It is natural to want to pick out the good stuff first, so we all sat around and started sorting out the artifacts.

I can judge the performance just by looking at it, but the members can also find out the effect to some extent if it is an artifact related to magic.

The work of grouping and classifying things with similar effects continued for half a day. There was no way I was tired.

“Your Highness will use this.”

“earring?”

“yes. It seems to increase the power of fire attribute magic.”

I held out the [Flower of Enthusiasm] I got from upstairs to Aini-nim. Ai-nim muttered regretfully.

“… … I wish it was a ring.”

“Uh huh.”

“You have to pierce your ears.”

Even so, I think I know it’s good when I see it in my pocket.

Among the artifacts that amplify the power of magic by attribute, I separately selected the best ones.

“This is the best among the wind attributes. ruler.”

“Rox and seniors also focus on the wind attribute.”

“Is it okay for a man to wear a brooch?”

“… … That’s right.”

Of course, it was a brooch, so handing it over to Hira was easy. Naturally, I was going to give the next best thing to Baeller.

“I’m done.”

“why?”

“On the contrary, I couldn’t wear it because it was uncomfortable. Just leave something to sell in moderation.”

It seemed that there were cases where artifacts actually got in the way of magic.

I picked out the ones that would sell reasonably well and presented them to Baeller.

Frid… … .

“Oh oh.”

“That’s not an artifact, man.”

“Ahaha, I was mistaken because there was so much magic around me.”

They just seem to be fascinated by jewelry.

“Whoah!”

“It’s just over.”

All 627 artifacts were classified. The members took 20 separately, and I left the rest to the emperor and asked him to scatter them.

For a moment, all five of them leaned back on the sofa, and silence continued. It’s so soft that I feel like falling asleep.

“Whoops, I don’t really feel it.”

“That’s right.”

“I had a broken head.”

“I walked a lot. I was just walking.”

“I saw a fairy too.”

As we spoke to each other, our eyes turned to me. Because that was the biggest thing.

“It’s okay, right… … ?”

“Would you like to touch it? I’m fine. Maybe it’s because she’s a fairy.”

Hira touched the back of my head.

Even the bruises that seemed to have healed are now fine.

“I came back safely.”

It was a 15-day journey that is difficult to sum up in one word.

It turned out very naturally that I was half a fairy.

“It’s become a secret only we know.”

“If I tell you, no one will believe me.”

“There is no compelling evidence. I don’t know if there was even a video recorder.”

“Freed is sloppy. To spread the nakedness of my ancestors throughout the world.”

“I-I said it with pure intent… … .”

Rama said that his whereabouts should not be known to the outside world.

Otherwise, the body would be cursed with eternal burning, Rama laughed and scared. I was terrified that it might actually be possible.

The ruins in the eastern part of the desert, which were used as an exit, will be found soon, but since they brought all the magic cores, the elevator is nowhere to be found.

Of course, it wasn’t just a story that would end with just those.

“Ah, what did Rox say to the fairy at the end?”

“They say you can’t really tell the truth. Was I that unreliable?”

“I guess you don’t trust humans.”

“Is that right? No one keeps their promises better than I do.”

I shrugged.

“I’ll deliver some magic cores to the professors and come back.”

“I don’t know if everyone will be ashamed of what they ate for lunch.”

“I am so tired I can’t move. I just want to rest here.”

“You can go alone.”

I took the bag containing the 24 cheap magic cores I found in the eastern ruins and left the tech department.

‘Your situation looks complicated.’

‘… … yes?’

‘Can’t last long. You’d better go find it before it’s too late.’

Those were the words Rama passed on to me when I finally came out of the stairs.

‘Niggers don’t like humans like me, so you must go alone.’

Then, with a broad smile, I poked something into my pocket.

[ITEM]

[Light of Hope]

: Lanterns handed down to pilgrims seeking the path to God. It is said that only those who are qualified can see the road.

It was a lantern the size of two fingers, and it looked like a firefly trapped inside. When you take it out, you can see a thin, faint light pouring out.

The light is pointing north.

[NEXT EPISODE]

X. never ending winter

: D-12

“It fits perfectly.”

Winter vacation, the tenth episode unfolds in the northern part of Mashu Kingdom.

Up until this point, it was an episode that could unfold normally only when Auril was doing well, and the conditions were met.

Coincidentally, northern Mashu is also close to the northern neutral zone, so I plan to meet that ‘nigger’ fairy.

You’ll have to cross the barrier again, but what?

I went over it once and came back alive, but I wonder if I can’t go over it twice.

* * *

“A call, huh?”

“Yes, yes, now, read the details yourself… … . Ugh.”

“I see.”

bang!

Beyond the violently closed door, Auril glared with a cold expression.

There was a knock on the door, so I quickly got dressed and came out, and it wasn’t Rockstrin. It’s not like it’s not a rock screen, but it’s a bitch to freeze. I could even hear swearing through the door.

Then Auril burst into laughter and muttered.

“… … I won’t freeze to death.”

If it was Rocktrin, I’m sure he would have been so sarcastic. Meong, while sticking out his tongue.

“When are you coming?”

Throwing off the clothes she had hastily put on again, Euril threw herself back onto the bed. The black dog-shaped doll was squashed flat.

‘call?’

Mashu said there would be no contact again. Did I come to the wrong place?

The reason Euril entered Summer Turge was because Mash’s condition was extremely uneasy.

It was the decision of Obama and his retainers that it would not be strange if an uprising broke out at any time and the castle collapsed.

The castle did not collapse, but the hatred of the people reached its peak. When vassals went out into the streets, they would come back stoned.

[To Princess Euryl

I’m sorry.

If we were all sinners who threw the princess away to a distant empire, we were blessed by such a subject.

As the princess knows, Mash is currently guarded by some of Rongrult’s troops.

I’m curious as to how the Empire’s troops were able to move like that, but I wonder if the method is too heavy.

Mashu did not suffer any damage from the sea monsters. Inland security has also been stabilized.]

What are you talking about.

I was deliberately averting my eyes from the news about Mash.

And if there was such a joyous event, I thought that Roxtrin would have passed it on its own.

‘I’m nothing… … ?’

[Also, the soldiers of Rongurt stationed without recalling are saving the lives of the people in the entire region. As expected of an empire, spending is not common.

Restaurants and taverns are crowded, and the streets are full of life. People now live with hope.

I was foolish for asserting that I would never come back. I hope you will forgive my hasty rudeness.

Of course, it would be nice to graduate from Summer Turge like this, but how about stopping by and seeing Her Highness during vacation?

I look forward to the day I see the princess again, and I reduce my joy by 20,000.]

“… … how?”

How did it happen?

The Empire’s forces are in my hands, I can see Roxtrin bragging.

At first, I thought it was a joke because I like to spread ridiculous heroic stories and exaggerate them.

It was Mashu hanging on the edge of the cliff of destruction. I didn’t do anything.

‘It’s a stone that grants wishes.’

At that time, what suddenly caught Auril’s eyes was a small stone placed under the pillow.

I was definitely making a wish.

‘I want people who are suffering because of me to find happiness.’

He complained even though he knew it couldn’t happen. He didn’t get angry once and accepted it calmly.

But now.

One wish came true.

“Euril, I’m here!”
