95. Voyage. (3)

The sea, the sea again.

It didn’t take long for Rin to get tired of ‘sailing’ in the middle of the endless sea.

Just one day was enough.

There could be several reasons for getting tired of sailing.

The smell of the sea that stings your nose, unchanging scenery, and so on.

Usually, if you ask why you’re tired of sailing, you’ll pick one or all of them. But the reason Lin got tired of sailing was a little different.

“Ugh, woowook——.”

“Hey. Hey! Don’t do it on the floor, throw it up here!”

After saying that, I held out a bucket.

Rin retched at it without even hesitating.

The things Rin ate flowed out without going through the process of digestion, as if it were a diet check.

But she didn’t smell anything that she couldn’t stand. The bucket erased the smell and even burned the vomit.

It was possible because it was an artifact, not an ordinary bucket.

An artifact that was equipped on Mystic Pirate’s ship.

Of course, skilled sailors don’t suffer from seasickness, but the ships aren’t the only Mystic Pirates.

It could be said that Rin is the same case as the cause of the artifact.

Is there anything left after you empty your stomach? After gagging several times, Rin managed to raise her head.

A gaunt face that seems to have stepped on the edge of hell.

I was seasick.

She said, “I was going to ask how you feel, but…… It doesn’t look fine.”

“No. All right, wow.”

She was about to say it was nothing, but Rin blocked her mouth without even being able to finish her words.

She didn’t make it until this time she sat fortunately.

After gagging a few times, Rin slipped and let out a sigh.

It seems strange that Rin, the heir to the north and at the same time an excellent swordsman with an expert rank, suffers from seasickness like this.

I could barely understand why I was so sensitive to motion sickness.

It is paradoxically because she is an excellent swordsman.

She is the legitimate successor of the Eunrang tribe.

Her five senses and other beastly senses are superior to mine, so it was as if the whole area was in her domain.

And that’s why that sensitive sense is even more poisonous.

I wonder if it’s a familiar wagon. The ship would move in a direction Rin could not have predicted at all.

“If the condition is too bad, should I ask Lucia to teleport me?”

Although teleporting the entire ship is difficult. I should be able to teleport at least one Rin.

She thought so and asked. Rin shook her head.

“No, no. This too…… , Training. Town.”

“…… Okay. Who will stop your stubbornness?”

Let’s pat Rin’s back, who suffers from motion sickness. Raneia, who had been inside the ship for a while, came up onto the deck.

Then he asked me, who was with Rin.

“Do you know where Mage Lucia is?”

“…… Are you Lucia?”

That was a fairly unexpected question.

After seeing Lucia use teleport once, quite a few sailors didn’t even want to contact her.

When I tilted her head, asking what the reason was, Raneia hesitated for a moment before answering.

“Triumph’s condition seems a bit strange, but the wizard accompanying him couldn’t figure out the cause.”

Triumph. It is a treasure passed down to the royal family of the Duchy of Briseton.

That was also the reason the Mystic Pirate was sailing.

In order to deliver the royal symbol to the Duchy of Briseyton instead of the Magic Tower.

In other words, a dirty important thing.

“Aha, if it’s Lucia, maybe you know the cause?”

“…… Yes.”

Certainly, that reason is understandable.

Lucia is the best wizard I know. As long as it was an artifact, there was no way she wouldn’t be able to analyze it, even if it was a secret weapon from the Principality of Briseyton.

Because there is no magic in the world that Lucia cannot interpret.

The cause can probably be identified immediately.

Even if you deliver the Triumph well, it’s over if the Triumph breaks down.

From then on, it is natural not to entrust the work to the Mystic Pirates, and the Mystic Pirates may be wanted many times over.

Well, I don’t think the Mystic Pirate is going to be easily caught by putting on a bounty.

She nodded as if she understood.

Just as she was listening to the conversation, Lucia, who was on high, fell right in front of her eyes.

Lucia slows down her fall just before she hits the ground and lands with ease.

It is a skillful use of magic.

Just before she set sail, she was on top of an anchor. It seems that he was on top of the anchor until recently.

Certainly, I cannot erase the words of the mercenary king, the leader of any mercenary corps, from my mind.

It looks like a cat.

I also like being in high places. She couldn’t even figure out what she was thinking. It’s very noble, and also arrogant.

Let’s think about that for a while. Lucia, who had landed, threw the main topic at once.

“Where are you? Triumph. FYI, my appraisal fee will be a bit expensive. I did the teleport on my own, though. Emotions do what you ask for.”

When she started talking about when she heard it, Raneia, who looked a little taken aback, said.

She said, “I was thinking about two hundred, two hundred gold, but ──”

“Two thousand.”

Raneia’s expression became contemplative at Lucia’s words.

This is a very rare scene. A mermaid, and that’s a scene where a siren bargains with a wizard.

“Oh, how can you not do it with five hundred gold? It’s the same amount we paid when we hired the wizard on the ship right now…….”

“Szechuan Gold.”

By the way, a normal lunch box costs about 30 silver.

And 1 gold for 100 silver.

With 100 gold, wouldn’t it be enough for a commoner household to barely survive for a month or two?

“Szechuan Gold is too expensive! It’s to the point of losing money just by getting help from a wizard!”

“Well, I don’t think the royal family will give you such a small down payment.”

I was the one who just added it.

I don’t know much about the prices since Lucia is only in the Magic Tower, but if she’s the down payment from the royal family of the Principality of Briseyton, it’ll be tens of thousands of gold units.

If you do well, you could get close to 100,000 gold.

Of course, Sichuan Gold isn’t hiring a wizard, but getting help is a bit excessive.

Considering that the wizard who will receive the help is the most outstanding wizard in the Mage Tower and a genius wizard who will rise to the 9th circle in the future, it will not be a low-level business.

After hearing my words, Lucia thought for a while before opening her mouth.

“Well then, ten thousand gold—”

“Five thousand! …… I’ll give you 5,000 gold!”

A desperate expression that makes you wonder if that is a siren out of the world.

Hagi article. Even if it was a siren, money would have been inevitable in order to melt into human society.

This is the so-called capitalism.

Raneia, who came with a check with trembling hands, wrote down 5,000 gold and handed it to Lucia.

“Here, if you go to the store after completing the quest…… Maybe you can get it.”

Upon receiving the check, Lucia had unusually bright eyes.

Raneia beckons her subordinate Sailor to bring Triumph.

Soon after, Lucia approached me and proudly handed over a check with 5,000 gold written on it.

“Kale, bring it.”

“…… ? You want to give it to me?”

“It’s me, if you have any supplies you need for research, just ask the Magic Tower. The one you write is better.”

I was thrilled at the moment.

…… Is this the same as I’m going to make money so you just play?

Of course, the amount itself is a small amount of money.

Of course, 5,000 gold is objectively quite a lot of money…… More or less is always relative.

Because of Aion, the current head of the family, he is walking closer to the samurai family.

Duke Reinhardt was such a huge family that there was a story that all the money in the empire circulated once.

It wasn’t that much money even for me, who had memories of being the head of the Reinhardt family.

He once borrowed 10 million gold from Aion. About 5,000 gold.

Still, I had no intention of throwing away the 5,000 gold that Lucia gave me. After thinking about how to use it for a while, her subordinate sailors arrived.

“Here, I brought Triumph.”

And my consciousness went straight to Triumph.

An artifact that looks like a sort of insignia decorated with gold and silver that is carefully stored inside a glass coffin.

The length barely exceeds two cheeks.

The golden curtains were engraved with elegant and intricate patterns, and were decorated with shining jewels and shimmering.

Although it was called an insignia. It didn’t look like something Triumph would wear on his chest.

That’s why it’s a bit big.

A jewel that emits a calm light. Even just by looking at it, I could feel that there was a lot of magical power inherent in it.

The story that it was produced by a high-level wizard was certainly not a lie.

But it wasn’t just for that reason that my eyes were fixed.

Triumph.

Even though that artifact was named that way, it was the first time I had seen it——for some reason, it felt familiar.

It was a strange feeling. It was familiar yet unfamiliar, reluctant yet mysterious.

Is this the effect of the artifact?

Lucia, who was looking at Triumph, muttered something strange.

“It sure is strange. The functions and powers of the imprinted magic circles are amplified many times more than what I knew.”

“Amplification?”

“There are many enchantments enchanted in the artifact called Triumph. Even the well-known ones are mental attack defense, teleportation to a saved location, increased magic recovery, fatigue relief, and so on. …… And the power of all those magics is amplified.”

The power of all magic circles has been amplified.

From a minimum of two times to a maximum of ten times.

…… Even though there was no change in the magic circle.

Having said that, Lucia slightly frowned.

“And…… What’s strangest of all is the power inherent in the artifact itself. Perhaps the magic has become stronger because of ‘this power’.”

Strength.

The moment Lucia mentioned the thing orbiting Triumph, the space shook slightly.

A very small wave.

A subtle sense of déjà vu that I couldn’t even detect.

“…… Lucia. Just now.”

“Yeah, I felt it too.”

Sereung.

I reflexively drew my sword and aimed it at the direction where the space was shimmering.

“…… Mr. Kale? Mage Lucia?”

Raneia is confused about what she is doing. She didn’t seem to feel it.

But intuition doesn’t lie.

If she seemed to feel something, then she must have felt something.

Something with invisibility magic. Whether fantasy or reality.

…… Clearly there is something.

I tried to bring out all of her senses, but I didn’t feel anything at all.

As if she truly had nothing there.

“…… You’ll know if it’s real or not when you cut it.”

At last I had a sword in my hand that could erase everything.

Flinch. The space trembled once again, as if he had heard my self-talk.

Right after that, before I could even move, Lucia teleported me.

From noble mtl dot com

Boom!

“Keuk, gaug—”

After teleporting in the direction where the space is distorted, Lucia grabs the ‘hidden one’ by the neck and slams her to the floor.

“Say, save, keoheok.”

Lucia’s power itself is not outstanding. She was rather close to the point where I wondered if she would break if I hit her.

However, I don’t know if Lucia used psychokinesis magic or physical ability enhancement magic, but she was very strong.

She is enough to knock an unidentified man to the floor.

Let Lucia slam her on the floor.

I don’t know what method she used, but her hiddenness began to disappear.

The man hiding was an old man with a familiar face.

And seeing that face, Lucia said in a cool voice.

“Perhaps I should speak in a convincing way.”

“Keugh… ….”

A face I had only seen once yesterday.

In Blue Tone, the one who prevented the Mystic Pirate from accepting the royal request.

“Tell me. Why did you come here and what were you doing? …… Elder Frey.”

The Elder Mage of the 7th Circle of the Mage Tower, Frey.

It was the name of the person who is currently rolling on the floor without looking good.
