Episode 644
Looking closely, it wasn’t even an ordinary artifact.
Giving the wearer that kind of strength immediately without any side effects. Besides, the innkeeper was not like a wizard or an experienced adventurer.
Artifacts that increase strength a little and have side effects are difficult and precious to make, but those artifacts…
‘Who the hell made them?’
Ratford looked at the artifact carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more it was an extraordinary artifact.
Even though Ratford couldn’t tell the pattern and reverberation just by sensing the magic at a distance like Wardanaz, he could sense how sophisticated the artifact was.
No matter how far away you look, masterpieces radiate that aura.
‘…No, but why the hell does the innkeeper have it!?’
“Kuck… Kuck. This… This…”
“Wrong or not!”
“This bastard is trying to kill me! Help!”
“!”
Ratford was nervous at the shouts of the Dwarf Traveler who was calling his companions.
‘I have a colleague!’
Sure enough, with a thumping sound from the second floor, another dwarf started running out with a pickaxe.
And that wasn’t all. A fellow Dwarf who was walking outside also threw down the beer he was drinking and ran in with a club.
“I swear by my beard that I won’t be able to put my comrade down! You monster!”
“Do you think you’ll be able to get out safely like this?!”
“Shut up, we are the miners of the sunset mine! You can’t stop us!”
The innkeeper caught the dwarf traveler and confronted the other two companions.
The innkeeper, wanting to overdo it, shouted to the clerk again.
“Bring the ladle and ladle!”
“??”
At this point, rather than stopping the dwarf travelers, Ratford wondered what more the innkeeper would come up with.
“Can I use a ladle!? Shouldn’t you bring the lid of the pot too?!”
“Take that too!”
The subdued Dwarf traveler gave a chuckle.
“Just… stop it!”
“What what?”
“Close the ladle and the lid of the pot…!”
“???”
My co-workers wondered what kind of bullshit they were.
Why did they stop him from coming out with a ladle and a lid?
“If I move now, I can’t stop it!”
“But I still have to stop it…”
Then a skinny clerk jumped out. The clerk was holding a ladle in one hand and a pot lid in the other.
The dwarves burst into laughter as they trembled and glared at them.
“Little human! Will that work!”
“Go into the kitchen and hide until I’m done!”
“Whoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Woudanaz family ladle!”
The clerk closed his eyes and shouted.
I never thought I would be able to use the artifacts the Wardanaz family gave me!
I wished the innkeeper had used this terrifying thing…
Boom!
The three dwarves were thrown out of the inn. It was as if a huge, invisible hand had struck the three of them and sent them flying.
“!!!!!”
Ratford was horrified.
‘This is not an ordinary artifact!’
Instead of just attacking the enemy, it detects the hostile enemy inside the inn and exiles them!
The dwarves staggered in shock and rolled on the ground. It was a strong and well-dressed Dwarf, but the impact was so strong that it was difficult to breathe.
“This… What the hell is this crazy innkeeper… Artifact… Heck.”
“Hey, you crazy Dwarves!”
The owner of the general store next door heard the commotion belatedly and came running in anger.
When the general store owner, who seemed to have never fought in his life, came running, the three dwarves were dumbfounded even while lying down.
What guts do you have to run at them now?
“Take the broom!”
The general store owner pointed the broom he was holding at them like a walking stick.
Seeing that, the three dwarves suddenly became ominous.
No way…
No way the general store owner??
“The Wardanaz family broom!”
bang!!!
The three dwarves passed out after being hit by the trapping magic.
The villagers cursed at them and dragged them to the guard’s prison.
The fuss is over.
The innkeeper apologized to the guests and passed them a glass of beer.
“customer.”
“!”
Ratford was taken aback when the innkeeper suddenly called him.
“yes?”
‘Did you find out I’m a wizard?’
“I understand your surprise. But please don’t spread rumors. Travelers are cut off when strange rumors circulate in the village.”
“……”
“Please…”
The innkeeper’s expression was desperate. Ratford was overwhelmed by that and involuntarily nodded.
“By the way, where did you find that artifact…?”
“…after. It’s natural to be curious. This is a treasure bestowed by the Wardanaj family.”
“The Wardanaz family! …Wait a minute, but why is the hat, ladle, and pot lid…?”
“There is a story there too.”
The innkeeper sighed.
So it was during the time of the innkeeper’s grandfather’s grandfather.
At that time, the name of the inn here was not < Sculpture Boat on the Cloud >.
-…Since you have run the < Lava Volcano Pony > Inn well, I would like to award you a prize in the name of the Wodanaz family.
– Thank you persimmon. Demon… Overseer… Superintendent… Superintendent… Mr.
“Are you the devil?”
“…did I say that? Not the devil, but the overseer, so the general. It was a story that looked like a devil.”
The innkeeper quickly took matters into his own hands and continued talking.
– I’m trying to give you an artifact. How is it?
– It’s okay, it’s okay!
The innkeeper’s grandfather’s grandfather did not want to receive the artifact.
In fact, so did the other villagers.
People who don’t know how to do it might say, ‘If you get an artifact, you can sell it for a thousand gold,’ but the situation in this town was different.
First of all, he did not know what punishment he would face if he sold the goods given to him by the Wardanaj family.
There is nothing more stupid than going against the archmage’s planting.
And to the ordinary villagers, the artifacts of the Wardanaz family were frankly more frightening than convenient.
What would you do if you used it incorrectly and even a demon was summoned?
-Why are you refusing?
-Ah ah Artifacts are difficult for me, who runs an inn, to write. How would I, the innkeeper, use the crown or the scepter?
-indeed! I’ll give you a report. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The demon disappeared and returned after a while.
– He told me to go to the inn and hang on the things you use. Will it be okay then?
-……
He had to refuse, but the innkeeper had no choice but to nod because it was the day the devil was in charge, not the golem.
Since then, the Wardanaz family has periodically gifted artifacts to the people of the territory as rewards.
Of course, I didn’t forget the meticulous consideration of hanging things that I usually use often.
“…This is how it happened.”
“and. The Wodanaz family is truly amazing. To give artifacts like this to the villagers as gifts on a regular basis!”
Ratford was amazed.
As expected of Lee Han’s family, the Wodanaz family was excellent enough to be considered one of the great aristocratic families of the Empire.
In addition, he didn’t care about the appearance of the artifact and even cared for the people of the territory.
The innkeeper was moved to tears at the sight of the traveler ignoring his speed.
Sometimes you have to see the devil come down so you don’t say that!
“…I always give thanks for the grace. Haha… Knowing that villagers have artifacts can scare travelers, so please don’t spread this rumor.”
“Do not worry. I will definitely keep it. Rather, could you tell me something like this? Artifacts are treasures…”
“If someone wants to find them, they will steal them.”
The innkeeper said plainly.
And later, realizing that he had spoken too casually, he took matters into his own hands.
“It’s a joke. joke. haha.”
“ah. yes.”
“But why did the guest come…?”
“A distant relative sent me a letter and asked me to come and help with work. I am a craftsman belonging to the locksmith guild. I’ll just go.”
“oh. It’s a locksmith’s guild! Can I ask you to do just one thing?”
“what…?”
“Some crazy customer left a carriage of eight horses in the stable and went away! I can’t sell this and I have to keep it, but I’m going to put a lock on it just in case.”
“There are a lot of tourists as well as dwarf guests, so there are a lot of strange guests! Don’t worry. I’ll stop by when the time is right after I’ve finished my work.”
Ratford came out of the inn, thinking that there were some very strange people.
* * *
“Brother. take care.”
Arsil hugged Lee Han and patted him on the back.
I was always worried because he was a younger brother who took too much risk.
“It’s not that I don’t like danger, but danger keeps coming to me… And the most recent danger was taken by my older brother.”
Arsil pretended not to hear and ended the hug.
“Where are you going? south of the empire? An archipelago across the sea? ah. There is an appointment with the people of the kingdom there… I know the kingdom there is not on good terms with the empire… Oh, you said you became close with the royal family? You can really get along with everyone except the principal, don’t you?”
Arsil laughed at his brother’s words.
Then he said seriously.
“Keep the score of the tomb well. Han Lee. It will help with your magic.”
“!”
After speaking, Arsil smiled.
Then he went through the front door and left.
When all the spirits that had been present up until now disappeared along with Arsil, the mansion suddenly became quiet.
Yoner cleared his throat and opened his mouth.
“He was a very unique person.”
“that’s right. I was also curious.”
“I almost died.”
Gainando grumbled.
If Lee Han’s second brother was like this, he had no idea how evil and eccentric the first brother would be.
“It’s tough.”
“Are you a jerk?”
“okay. A tough man. Well said.”
“Did you see the principal?! hey. And juniors, what are you saying to seniors!”
At Eandurde’s words, Gainando became furious.
Either that or not, Eandurde spilled it over her ear. The position of Cainando in Eandurde has already been determined.
“Lee Han. Let’s go to our family mansion. huh? There is a lot to play there.”
“later. I have friends who haven’t come yet, so I have to go see them.”
“Then, are you going when everyone comes?”
“no. I’m going to break the request that can be done around me. Guinan Island. take this There are no people around here, so I like to gather herbs.”
“…I’m not good at alchemy…”
“All you have to do is look at herbs and dig them up. dig it all I will give you a reward.”
It was Lee Han who checked the request from the nearby adventurer’s guild when he went to the village on a budget.
It would be unreasonable to take a long time, but the relatively easy gathering-related quests were the easiest way to earn pocket money.
“Memories are better than money…”
Gainando murmured a phrase he had seen in the book. Lee Han and Yoner looked at Gainando like the world’s idiots.
“Making money is also a memory. Guinan Island.”
“How nice to have memories of making money. Guinan Island.”
‘It really sucks.’
“It was a pity that there was no production request. That’s pretty cool.”
Even without going as far as crafting artifacts, it was quite fun to do magic treatment on various reagents or materials.
These were the things that wizards with low circles still did most often when collecting research funds.
While the friends were chatting and talking, the front door opened. Everyone’s eyes turned towards it.
Surprisingly, Ratford appeared riding a golem.
“I am here! Mr. Wodanaz.”
“Ratford!”
“Oh, I was really impressed. A golem patrolling the territory! How happy the people who live around here are!”
“Haha. I’m glad you said that.”
Lee Han was embarrassed by Ratford’s praise.
The friends who saw it decided not to tell who had been patrolling until recently.
