While Ruby and the others were dismantling, I asked Nomos to appraise the treasures we had acquired in the labyrinth. I'm quite excited because the treasures are from the deeper levels of the labyrinth, and some of them are from the 100th layer.
The appraisal of nomos is not finished even after storing the collected light dragon scales, so I check on Ruby and the little army + Gina + Mel + Meraru who are dismantling the rubies.
Hmmm... ...... the scales seem to have been peeled off quite well. Ruby and Gina seem to be peeling off the scales quickly and easily, and Gina and Meraru seem to be peeling off the scales without any confusion, as if they are used to the work. The little ones are flying around and collecting the peeled scales. In no time at all, the light dragons are being stripped naked.
To be honest, I had imagined that the scales are directly attached to the flesh, but in the case of the light dragon, they seem to be attached to the skin.
Since they are dragons, their skins are also of great value. If they make a leather jacket or something like that, it would probably be easy to get a scratch on it even if you crash your bike. The problem is that it is not suitable for this hot continent.
We wait for the nomos to be appraised, playing lightly with the belles and fukus who brought the scales to us.
***
"Yuta, it's done."
It took a long time because of the quantity. The disassembling of the fish has been completed, and now we have reached the stage of separating the skin from the flesh.
"Thanks for your hard work. How was it?"
"Well, to be honest, there are too many items that could be considered dangerous depending on how they are used, aside from the treasures, equipment and magical items."
"That many? Is it cursed or something? Is it poisonous if you wear it?"
In some cases, you may need to have a serious talk with the labyrinth core.
"You said it depends on how you use it. The simple explanation is that weapons are very powerful. If you carelessly unleash its power, you may cause the death of your allies around you. It takes skill, technique, and experience to master it.
It seems that a talk with the core of the labyrinth is not necessary. It seems to be simply that it is too dangerous for amateurs to touch because of its high performance.
"Well, what about me, who relies on spirits and pioneering tools? I'm at a high level, in case you're interested: ......"
"It's called a knife to something."
It was cut off. No, I know. I know it's not like I studied under anyone seriously, and I've had to get through life risks with insurance. But it is a little discouraging to be dismissed with a Japanese proverb-like phrase. I wonder if there is a similar saying in this world, or if the Japanese have spread the word.
"By the way, what kind of weapons do you have?"
"Hmm, this one is pretty dangerous, too.
Nomos shows me the sword he had in his hand. There is what looks like a large magic stone embedded in the handle of the sword, and I can tell just by looking at it that it looks expensive. I can tell just by looking at it that it looks expensive. I guess that when I pull it out of the sheath, a shiny sword blade will appear.
"How is it dangerous?"
"This sword has powerful earth and fire properties. Even if you use earth and fire alone, it will be able to attack with a floating spirit class magic attack, though it is attack limited. And though it eats up a lot of magic power, if it uses both attributes at the same time, it can turn a radius of about 10 meters into magma and manipulate it. And the protection of the sword's wielder is also well equipped.
...... No, it's cool but super scary. Well protected for those who have a sword means no protection for those who don't have a sword. What's that? If it goes off, the others will sink into the magma.
"Ah, it's dangerous for us to use it. We have the dagger of the fire dragon, and I'll leave the weapons in the magic bag until Gina and the others are up to speed. And what about armor?"
"Well, as for the armor, it is very capable, but it should be enough to protect you, except for the automatic counterattacks and magic reflections."
Automatic counterattacks and magic reflections are hard to use unless you have the ability to use them. They might counterattack when you don't want them to, or reflect magic where you don't expect it.
"I understand. Then tell me the performance of the magic tools and armor, even though there are a lot of them and it will be troublesome."
"...... I knew that, but it's a hassle. But do you also need an explanation for all this shiny stuff? You wouldn't wear something like this, would you?"
Indeed, I would not equip myself with a dazzlingly shining mast. But if I knew what it could do, I might be able to use it in case something happens ....... I don't think we stand a chance when we are backed into a corner by Sylphy and the others. No, there are times when Sylphy and the others can't be with us because they are called by the king of spirits or something. Let's hear what they can do.
"Oh, I'd like to see Yuta wearing this armor.
Sylphy, who had never spoken a word to me before, intervened at a troublesome moment, as if she was not interested in dismantling or appraising. As was the case with the armor of nature, she becomes energetic as soon as a kitchen-typed person like her gets involved.
I can feel a sense of excitement from Sylphy even though she has no expression on her face.
"No, I'm just asking for an explanation just in case, I'm not going to equip it."
"That's fine, I'm just going to try it on for a little while, okay?"
"I don't want to. I'll get all smirky."
"Don't say that. I'm sure you'll be cool."
Sylphy, I won't be moved by such unconvincing words.
**
"......, that's why I need an explanation."
"Well, well, well. Yuta's in trouble."
Nomos is looking at me with a kind of pitying expression.
"If that's the way you feel, help me convince Sylphy. It's not fair that you just sit there and let her disappear.
I can't convince you. I'm Yuta's contracted spirit. Yuta must do his best.
If you say so, Nomos is my contracted spirit too. If I give him an order in such a situation, will he obey it? I don't have ......, I'm going to end up with a "no".
"Don't you have more to explain than that?"
I feel like I'm being sidetracked, but I guess I'll just have to give up since there doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it.
"...... please."
I listen to Nomos' explanation, feeling a little unconvinced. Hmmm......... that's a lot of weapons that I can't seem to use myself, but it's exciting just to listen to him.
What, a bow that shoots out light, that's just too cool to be true. I've never even touched a bow.
Weapons and armor and accessories are usually like this.
"Yeah, thanks. Aside from the weapons, the armor and accessories seem to be pretty easy to use, except for the flashy ones."
Yes, it is. Except for the ones I've explained to you about the dangers, even the little ones can use them. Next, the magic tools.
Now comes the real magic tool. Magic brooms and magic carpets are the stuff of romance. I can fly if I ask Sylphy to, but that's another matter.
"First of all, there's this: ......"
As one would expect from a labyrinth of magical tools, we found a few interesting items.
Magic Tent
It looks like an ordinary triangular tent, but the space inside is much larger. The tent cannot be folded with a creature inside. It provides concealment when the tent is pitched.
This is a standard fantasy item. It is usually quite useful, but the fact that it comes out at the end of the labyrinth is not very nice. No, it could have been in the treasure chests already opened in the first half of the labyrinth.
......Well, I don't think the stuff is bad, but it's not so subtle since we have the rock house when we camp outside and even in the rock house, Sylphy protects us while we sleep. If we are going to camp in a public place, a tent would be more natural and we should think about how to use it.
Clean portable toilet
The compact box unfolds to create a private toilet. The magic of auto-flush makes it always clean. A coveted tool for female adventurers and travelers.
Not only for women, but for me, too. And I got three of the same one. I guess it's a bit of an outlier among the treasure chests, but it's a great result to have one for me, one for Gina and her friends, and a spare one.
Blower
The power of the magic stone produces a cool breeze.
I didn't know what the box-shaped object was, but if it produces a cool breeze, we can live comfortably in paradise or in a tent or a temporary base on the rocks, but it doesn't make much sense since ...... Sylphy adjusts the temperature.
Gina and her friends have Fuchu and Mame, so it is not essential, but since they are still weak, it might be a good idea to use a blower to reduce the consumption of magic power.
There were some other magical tools that would be useful in most cases, but most of them could be managed with the help of Sylphy and Belle and the others. Spirits can do almost anything when they have the right attributes.
But with a magic tent, a blower, and the spring water pot we got before, we should be able to make a pretty comfortable camp. If we had some bedding and kitchen wizardry, it would be perfect.
"Now for the broom and the carpet that Yuta was wondering about..."
Finally, the magic tools you've been waiting for. As for me, I'm glad that I have set up a floating island in my base and can move freely to the floating island without the help of Sylphy with a magic broom and a magic carpet.
Well, I don't go out of the sanctuary by myself because I'm afraid of going out of the sanctuary, but if a wraith or something chases me when I'm flying ......1 alone, I'll be scared.
"The broom is a magical tool that sweeps the room by itself when you put magic power into it. It automatically collects small particles of dirt, and then sucks up the collected dust to make it disappear."
The broom was an ordinary ...... broom, no, not ordinary because it cleaned automatically, but it was an honest-to-goodness broom. Well, after using the cleaning magic, dirt would fall to the ground as dust, and dust would fall to the floor when the room was cleaned. I bet it would be very useful. It sounds like some cleaning robot. .......
"A magic broom ...... would come in handy, so that's good. What about carpets?"
If broomsticks can't fly, carpets are not so subtle either. But it is a treasure chest that we got in the layer where gravity stones are the main ingredient. If it is a carpet there, I think there is a high possibility that it can fly. Is it different from the other world's way of thinking?
"A carpet is not a flying magical tool. When you put magic power into it, it floats in the air, and when you put your will into it, you can control it. It seems to be quite fast."
I am quite happy that ...... was a flying carpet as I wished. But ...... the part about putting one's will into it reminds me of Sylphy's wind cocoon.
"Nomos, will it go out of control if you accidentally put too much magic into it?"
"Hm...... doesn't seem to be the case from what I've seen through the magic. It seems to be efficient in consuming magic power, but it still requires a certain amount of magic power. You'll notice it before it gets out of control.
It is not as peaky as Sylphy's wind cocoon. I sometimes fly between Paradise and Labyrinth City, but it still scares me a little.
"I see. ...... So, what happens to the magic carpet when the magic power runs out?"
Of course it will fall. But it's not a bad way to consume magic. Even after you feel sick, you should be able to descend to the ground enough unless you are at a very high altitude. This is indeed a magical tool from the labyrinth.
It is good to hear that you are not in danger of crashing. However, I have never felt sick or ...... run out of magic power, as if the spirits are not consuming much magic power. It seems that they are sucking my magic power, but I don't know about that either. ......Well, we shouldn't complain about the easy things.
By the way, this is a flying magical tool, right? Sylphy and his friends didn't like people flying in the sky, so is it bad to use it normally? I'll have to check it out.
"Yuta's brother, we're going to cut up some meat!"
Oops, Ruby called me. The demolition is about to enter a new phase, and I'm busy. Should we have staggered the meetings separately? But the Spirit Kings are coming and Mel is coming back. I'm pretty busy.
