Episode 35

The Reinhardt family is a family with a long history.

It could not be compared with the three generations of families that existed right after the fall of the ancient empire, but it had a long history of its own.

Therefore, there were so many treasures that it was hard to believe that it was a declining family.

“Wow… , there are so many strange things… .”

Linbell looked at the treasures with her curious eyes twinkling. After seeing her in a month, she was noticeably different from when I first met her.

‘The movement of the body… .’

It’s very natural.

Before leaving for the ruins, she entrusted the maid’s education and training to the waitress, but the habit that she unconsciously did not give up was likely to remain, but I didn’t see any of that.

‘After all, a talent that is likely to become an arm… , I mean.’

Unfortunately, Prana did not seem to have awakened, but even this level of growth was unbelievable.

Even compared to others like Julius and Allen, he would be superior in pure talent.

‘You did a good job making a maid.’

The dark figure he had seen for a while in the wagon was now nowhere to be seen.

‘You seem to be acting a little exaggerated… .’

You might be able to see these things. Allen turned his head.

There were many strange things in the report that are not normally seen.

Jewels shimmering in four colors, wands shrouded in light fog, and crystals with blue electric current.

As the family’s vision was magic, there were many things related to magic.

Linbell drew closer to see if these things were strange. Inelia seemed to be worried about her, so she sneakily approached her.

“Linbell, you know you can’t touch anything, right? yes?”

“I know, I know, Mom.”

Linbell nodded her head roughly, but did not stop wandering around the treasury.

Inelia continued to glance at Allen, who was walking slowly behind her, restless as she seemed anxious.

Allen smiled slightly at Inellia’s eyes as if asking for help, and turned to the old butler who was walking with them.

“Is it okay if I wander around like that?”

“Yes, it doesn’t matter. It must be surprising since I came here for the first time.”

The old butler, Gardel, who claimed to be the guide to the report, smiled kindly and nodded.

“No, but that look… .”

When Gardel looked at Linbell with a puzzled face, Allen asked.

“Why, what did my maid do wrong?”

“No, no. Miss Linbell… I am glad to have met Prince Allen after a long time.”

Gardel shook her head, scattering the thoughts that came to her mind, and answered Allen’s question.

“… phew.”

Inelia, who had been paying attention to Linbell all the time, sighed in relief with a look of reassurance at Gardel’s answer.

“… but.”

Gardel stopped talking up to that point, and then opened her mouth as if to listen to Inellia with a witty smile.

“If you touch an object even once, that’s it. No other items are allowed.”

“… Hick!”

“Please be careful as it cannot be exchanged again.”

“… … !”

After he finished speaking, Enelia moved towards Linbell, who was busy walking around the report as if she couldn’t take it any longer.

“oh! Confucius! Confucius! What is that burning ice? Fuck! Mom! What are you doing!”

“Linbell! What are you doing as Confucius’s handmaiden? Can’t you stop right now?”

“ah! What does mom matter! Confucius is still quiet!”

“Then are you going to be educated again by Eliza?”

As soon as she mentioned Eliza’s name, Linbell’s body hardened.

“Is it okay if I report all the things I’ve been doing now to Eliza?”

“… no.”

“Then come quietly.”

“… Heh, okay.”

Linbell returned to her side with a grim face as if it had no choice.

Allen looked at the sequence of actions and asked him with a smirk.

“Is it okay if I make fun of the maid who doesn’t know anything?”

“haha… , the older I get, the more I need some stimulation in my life.”

In particular, there will be few chances to play pranks on that fox-like kid who is different from the outside.

‘… Confucius doesn’t seem to know.’

Gardel did not add anything to their relationship, and smiled bluntly as if she knew nothing.

“You don’t have to touch it once, you have to go out with something you choose.”

“After all, it’s the first thing you choose, so it’s okay to touch it.”

Allen shook his head, and slowly looked around the things in the Bogo.

‘It’ll be useful no matter what you bring. However… .’

If it was such a thing, it could be obtained anywhere other than here.

Two days have already passed since the harvest festival ended.

Allen came down to the basement of the mansion using the key to report as soon as the harvest festival was finished.

What is surprising is that Gadel, the general butler, took the initiative to guide him.

Thanks to this, Enelia and Linbell were able to enter according to the report, but it was not known why he, who was not close friends, did such a favor.

‘I spread my senses just in case… .’

He was just an old man with no power.

There were no rules in footsteps, and there were no abnormalities in breathing or expression.

Allen put his doubts aside, and quickly scanned the object. As much as possible, Julius, I had to pick things up before he came.

It reminded me of something I read in a book a few days ago.

『——Julius moved into the treasury. There, the treasures that the family had gathered over the generations were exuding a presence.”

『——You never know when you will have the opportunity to enter the report, so you have to choose carefully. While looking at things like that, Julius found ‘it’.

‘You said you found something special here.’

『──The showcase at the far right of the report.』

A group of people followed him with a questionable expression behind him as he proceeded without blockage.

『──Going five steps to the left in that showcase… .』

Weapons, Spellbooks, Gems, Flasks, Ancient Artifacts.

As Allen moved without paying attention to everything, the faces of the party became strange.

“I, Confucius. Looking at other things… .”

“no. I have something in mind.”

Enelia opened her mouth gently, but Allen flatly refused.

‘Anyway, things similar to the ones here are overflowing.’

There was no need to choose items that could be obtained from outside.

『——Things that did not match the other treasures in the treasury were piled up in one place. over it… .』

Allen stopped walking.

『──The ‘it’ was rolling around without appearance, unlike the value it possessed.』

Arriving at the place where he had stopped, Enelia looked at him with a puzzled expression.

That’ll be it.

“… Isn’t that crap? Confucius?”

The place where he stopped was a place where he had piled up things of unknown purpose.

Items excavated from ruins or purchased at an auction house at a high price, but only dust piled up in the treasury because they did not know their purpose.

As she said, it was not inferior to calling it a miscellaneous thing.

‘Well, you came all the way here and found something.’

How many items are neatly displayed in the treasury, do you have to come all the way here to check the dust?

‘One reason to choose things carefully?’

He was the one who looked closely at it, but it was even more absurd that there were actually things worth doing.

Allen shook his head and picked up a gray marble from the pile of objects.

“I will do this.”

Linbell looked up at him again, as if he had misunderstood, but his decision remained the same.

“Are you sure you want to do that? Confucius, as I said earlier, you have to take the item with you, not touch it once… .”

“Know.”

“… But are you really saying that you will choose it?”

Gardel, who had a shaky face at Allen’s answer, asked several times, but Allen’s answer was the same.

“I will do it with these beads.”

Gardel sighed at him, repeating the same thing over and over like a parrot, but Allen didn’t care.

because.

『──The original name of this marble is [Heavenly Eyes].』

“Now that you’ve picked up your stuff, let’s go back.”

“… Yes. If Confucius is satisfied, that will be all right.”

『──It was one of the five new kinds of magic that the first hero used.』

incarnation of light. Evil Dragon Killer. swordsman.

There are several titles given to him, saying that he is cared for by God, but this was the most representative title among them.

Warrior.

The first hero who killed the demon king who was said to have invaded the ancient empire.

He gathered eight companions to fight the world-destroying demon king, and in the end succeeded in killing the demon king.

‘It seems that even such a hero could not escape from the destruction of the ancient empire… .’

What does that matter?

Even after he died, he had an impact on the world.

It is derived from the eight companions of the eight-strong warrior who represents the strongest of the continent, and even the place where the Galshudin Academy was built is the place where the last traces of the hero are located.

The achievement of killing the Demon King as a human was also a great achievement.

‘To be able to get one of the five miracles that such a hero used like this… .’

Even though it was definitely something to be happy about, he couldn’t hide his bewilderment.

‘The holy sword is in the academy, the ring is in the elven forest, and the helmet is in one of the three great families.’

Of the two remaining pieces, the armor was broken and the marble is said to have disappeared.

Who would have expected that the marble was in the family treasury?

Allen felt an irrational and irresistible flow in an even contrived coincidence.

‘If I hadn’t known through the Black Book… .’

This must have been in Julius’s hands as planned.

Does this have anything to do with his weird abilities or luck?

“Brother Allen?”

Even if it’s a coincidence, finding the marble in the corner… .

Julius’ face appeared.

As he turned his head to look around, the scenery of the outdoor terrace greeted him.

‘It was tea time.’

Allen naturally shook off Julius’s hand on his shoulder and smiled as if he was sorry.

“I’m sorry, Julius. So how far have you been talking?”

“Brother, are you okay? You need to rest… .”

Allen responded without showing any displeasure at the warmth left on his shoulder.

“The research on magic that I’ve been struggling with lately has been going well, so I’ve been staying up all night. No need to worry.”

“Ah, did you say that you made progress in your training?”

At those words, Julius laughed happily as if it was his own job.

“Congratulations. Oops, I said last time that I would give you a present when you visit the historical site… , do you remember?”

Julius smiled slyly, and took out a small box from his bosom.

“… This.”

“Because I succeeded in excavating the ruins as I swore this time. This is one of those achievements.”

The box looked plain at first glance.

However, Allen could smell the refreshing scent that was faintly emanating from the cracks in the box.

“Your brother said that he got results from the training, so I’ll give it to you as a present.”

“… No, by what qualification am I?”

When he made a perplexed expression as if he couldn’t accept it, Julius smiled as if he was okay and pushed the box towards him.

“A promise is a promise, so take it. Brother, what are you doing?”

“… Julius.”

When Allen looked at him with a grateful face as if he was burdened, Julius turned the topic around whether his eyes were modest.

“You have had some achievements this time, so how strong have you become?”

Allen pondered at Julius’ question.

‘How far should I go… .’

First of all, it excludes revealing that the body of a giant or the core of a dragon was obtained.

Exposing too much power can lead to unnecessary vigilance. After all, you must have known that you were dealing with thieves with a sword rather than magic through the traces of the underground waterway.

Allen drooled, as if he had thought about it for a moment, then answered quietly.

“… Um, I don’t know.”

“Didn’t you say that you won against the thieves who attacked you through the underground waterway this time?”

“It’s definitely gotten stronger, but… .”

As Allen hesitated without answering clearly, Julius asked, as if frustrated.

“Then, isn’t that one more circle?”

“that… not. Because what I practiced is magic from a system other than the circle system.”

“… Are you talking about another system?”

“Yeah, I thought that circle was not enough, so I learned it as a supplement.”

His expression changed strangely.

Allen could see why he had that expression on his face.

As mentioned earlier, the circle magic system is the most efficient system used by most wizards these days.

Most of the magic systems of the old times were inferior to those of the present, with very few exceptions.

Of course, it was not impossible to learn several magical systems at the same time, but it was not recommended because it was only possible to focus on one.

‘It’s better to hang around like this.’

The fact that he will use a sword cannot be hidden.

Rather, it would not be inconvenient to learn the sword in the future to make excuses for having learned the magic system related to the body.

“So it’s hard to gauge just how strong I have become.”

At his answer, Julius looked at Allen with a worried face.

‘I was convinced by the bead thing. What an irrational thing to him that he is riding a current that seems to be protecting the world.’

quest? system?

Basically it wasn’t like that.

‘Aiding his behavior, leading to good results… .’

Through the Black Book, I learned that all of his actions were not related to quests. Still, he always gets lucky in what he does.

‘Yeah, to name it, the world’s blessing. That would be appropriate.’

Wasn’t the purpose of having tea time with Julius this time also to find out the limits and abilities of his strange protection?

“The bandits were no match. However, at a time like now, it is not possible to ask a busy driver.”

To have a chance to discover his powers.

“Oh yeah. Did you also say that you won a duel with a mercenary?”

In a line that subtly stimulates Julius’s sense of victory.

“How were they? Were you strong? I heard that he did a great job.”

Allen guided his answer with an unfamiliar face.

“I wish I had been there… , I’m sorry.”

When Julius finished his words, his eyes lit up as if he had made up his mind.

“then… , would you like to fight with me?”

‘Caught.’ Allen asked, looking embarrassed, hiding the deep smile that appeared on her lips.

“Are you talking to me?”

“Yes. How about trying out a match for the first time in a long time to test your strength… .”

Julius opened his mouth with a cautious attitude, and Allen thought for a moment before opening his mouth.

“Are you okay with me?”

“Yes. At the same time, I feel that I have grown quite a bit this time.”

“then… , okay.”

Allen replied with a broad smile, as if he would do whatever he could to his younger brother.

“However much.”

It was as planned.

“I’m counting on you.”

“Yes, thank you.”

Allen and Julius looked at each other and smiled brightly.
