Episode 775 The True Evil Group (8)
I heard from Levia that Gaboâs whereabouts are in this backyard.
If thatâs the case, youâre just digging the ground and looking for whatever comes out.
While sweating at night, not when the nobles were enjoying a banquet, they poured the items they had gathered into one.
Patter-!
It looks really messy, probably because it was submerged in the ground for a long time.
After wiping the sweat with her soiled hands, Nurâah stepped over and asked.
âI never thought there would be so many buried there. Now what are you going to do with all this?â
âI will identify.â
Can you tell them all apart?
Ray smiled and said, âDonât worry,â as if he had noticed Nuraâs intentions.
âI wonât make you work anymore, so take a break. Oh, you canât touch that.â
support position-!
Startled by the weak current flowing from his hand, the merchant dropped the item.
âA magic tool?â
âEven after all these years, it seems that there is still some mana left. You donât know what kind of magic there is, so you donât know if you accidentally touch it and get hurt.â
At his words, the merchants hurriedly ran away.
If there is one thing more important than money, it is health and life.
Touching a magic tool you donât even know about is as dangerous as playing with a mine.
Looking at the merchants who seemed to refuse to work even if they paid more money, Ray spread his seat as if it was rather good.
âNow, who would be holding the treasure?â
Gently brushed off the dirt on the magic tools.
Then, strangely shaped statues gradually appeared.
âThis isâ¦â
It seems like something is hidden.
Before she could even talk behind her back, Ray threw the statue back.
âThis sucks.â
âWait a minute! It was something that anyone could see had a story, right?â
âAfter shaking off the soil, the reaction weakened. It must have been buried with mud attached to it to be used as a trap from the beginning.â
ââ¦â
He said so, but what can he do?
Still, you never know.
Nura picked up the discarded statue and looked around.
Standing proudly with arms folded like a monarch of a country.
His eyes were as vivid as if they were still alive.
âItâs ridiculous that art like this is simply used for traps.â
There must be a great device hiding somewhere.
Like revealing a key in the moonlight, or revealing a hidden entity shining like a stone in the water!
I will definitely find it and press down on that confident nose.
Itâs a punishment for making a lady shovel late at night!
Nurua, thinking that inwardly, jumped up and looked at the moonlight, and uttered a starter phrase to turn the surroundings into a sea of water.
Ray, who was watching from the side, clicked his tongue.
âThey put on a show.â
âLetâs see! The mystery of this child must be real!â
âIf you want to play with dolls, go far away and play instead of standing around.â
Hiss.
He waved the back of his hand as if chasing away a white ball on the street.
The moment Nura infused demonic energy into the statue, saying that she would show her true self.
Ray, who had been dying all this time, suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her.
âah.â
âShield.â
Whoops-!
The statue exploded, scattering fragments.
The explosive power wasnât that great, but if I had been hit by shrapnel while holding it in my hand, it would have been a real big deal.
Hiccup-!
Seeing her dumbfounded like a surprised rabbit, Ray brushed off her clothes.
âHeâs a mysterious kid.â
ââ¦â
âItâs mostly stuff like this. Now, thanks to the passage of time, the magic has deteriorated, but if it werenât for that, it would have been dangerous just now.â
He didnât get angry and spoke calmly, but that rather stabbed his heart.
âIâm sorry.â
âI wish I knew. Itâs dangerous, so donât come near it.â
âYesâ¦â
Normally, he would have pursed his lips and said, âThen Iâll go to the banquet at least.â
Thatâs kind of bothering me.
Ray scratched the back of his head and sighed.
âThanks to that, the work has become easier, so letâs go to the banquet. If you find a man named Renus inside, he will make the banquet suit for you.â
âYesâ¦.â
âAre you okay? Calm down.â
âUmmâ¦â
A tap on the shoulder brought the focus back to his eyes.
A statue that burst out of your hand.
It was clearly a magic tool made with hostility.
Thinking that all these things that were kicked on his feet were for that purpose, they started to look quite different from before.
she said anxiously.
âbe careful.â
âThese are just toys. Donât worry and go.â
âYes⦠thenâ¦â
As she was about to leave, the merchants who had witnessed what had just happened also followed as if they were running away.
âI have to prepare for business in the morning, so Iâll go back around here.â
âHmm. Neither do I. I will claim the allowance to the upper house.â
There were magic tools that killed people all over the place, but it was a natural procedure.
It wasnât even time to drink a cup of tea, and the patronage that had been so crowded was empty.
Itâs more safe this way to work.
In the empty field, Ray hummed a song.
âLetâs see.â
The side that feels mana and the side that doesnât.
When they were divided into two groups, the ratio was about three to one.
decades at least.
It was surprising that objects that were hundreds of years old still contained mana.
He said to remove the horns too, so Ray decided to deal with the magic tools first.
The moment I put my hand on an old silver hand mirror.
Anger-!
A flash of light, blinding for an instant, emanated from the mirror.
Ray, who had already prepared himself with mana all over his body, let out a sigh.
âItâs not childâs play. What the hell are you doing?â
I donât know who made it, but the magic tool looked playful.
In addition, there were many other items, such as wooden chests that released memorization when the lid was opened, and leather towels that gave off a rotten smell.
Apparently, the only thing that had lethal power was the statue of Ye.
âTsk tsk. no luck No matter how you choose, you would have picked that item first.â
Does it mean that if you become half-rich, you will be abandoned by the sky and your luck will disappear as well?
After processing all the magic tools, only the ones that did not feel mana were left.
One of these is sure to be an heirloom.
Ray carefully brushed off the debris one by one.
Bronze Key.
A rather large, square piece of wood.
Waterdrop shaped ornaments.
Each one is only an antique that cannot be found luxurious.
In the first place, why did he leave a precious mark of an heirloom in the ground of such an insignificant support?
I didnât understand it at all, but since it was already done, I decided to try more.
There were seven items in total.
It has a strange shape, but I have no idea what this has to do with heirlooms.
âSheesh. I feel like I just made a fool of myself.â
Maybe there are more things buried in the ground.
However, even if you dig all day, there is no point in doing more because you cannot see the end.
In the end, Ray, who had been struggling all along, lay down in desperation.
The night sky is also very pretty.
As Ray looked up at the star-studded sky as if someone had painted it, he suddenly had an idea.
âwait. The memorization stuck in the wooden chest earlier⦠Wasnât it strange?â
I half-raised myself and looked at the box again.
It sure did look weird.
If you usually put memorization in a box, it is common to make it orderly so that the area is widened as much as possible.
However, I feel that this is roughly nailed down to the point where it looks sloppy.
âIt looks like some kind of pattern.â
I straightened my posture and checked my neck.
Itâs not like itâs poisoned, is it?
I touched the box here and there, being careful with my needles, and I noticed a structure I hadnât known before.
A subtle gap between the cover and the body.
At first, I thought it was formed naturally over time, but looking back now, it was subtly overlapping.
If this is a natural seam, it must be the skill of an excellent craftsman.
Open the gap carefully.
Took-!
The cover of the wooden box was completely separated with the sound of something breaking.
A single wooden board was shattered into pieces, revealing a small green stone.
Woo-woo-!
Before he had time to appreciate its splendid figure, the green stone that shone in the moonlight embraced mana.
âHuh?â
This feeling is not good.
The mana contained in the theme of a stone the size of a finger is beyond imagination.
If you do something wrong, you will be swept away by the mana storm.
The moment Ray urgently tried to release the green stone from his hand.
Piing-!
Quaaaaaa-!
Mana like a waterfall spewed out in a straight line towards the sky.
âAww!â
In response, Ray also raised mana to counteract.
Now it is no longer possible to place green stones.
Now that unstable mana runaway has occurred, what I have in my hand is not a jewel, but a bomb that can blow up a village with a smile.
To say it was simply a magic stone, the aftermath was huge because the mana he had was superior.
I could tell just by looking at the sky that was supposed to be dark, brightening like daylight.
As the clouds parted and created a grand spectacle, all the nobles enjoying the banquet looked at the starting point of the light.
A cluster of lights shooting high into the sky.
The phenomena beyond common sense aroused peopleâs admiration.
âhaha. How beautiful it is.â
âYou care so much. Itâs the first time Iâve had a banquet like this in my life. ha ha ha.â
Naturally, the nobles were only thinking about the banquet as an eye candy.
Without even dreaming that someone from below was supporting it.
Ray screamed inwardly.
âAagh! Iâm going to die!â
What kind of madman made such a magic tool!
No, how did he put this much mana into a small green stone in the first place!
After swearing dozens of times, Ray focused his mind not to disturb his posture.
If you accidentally fall over, the countâs mansion next to you will disappear in an instant.
Even the atmospheric mana was mobilized to support the magical tool, and the posture became more stable than before.
But that was it.
It is still impossible to move even one step from where you are standing, so you can only handle the mana while whimpering.
I hope someone will come soon.
Now I had no choice but to grit my teeth and endure it.
