Episode 644
Looking closely, it wasnât 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 artifactsâ¦
âWho the hell made them?â
Ratford looked at the artifact carefully.
The more I looked at it, the more it was an extraordinary artifact.
Even though Ratford couldnât 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.
ââ¦No, but why the hell does the innkeeper have it!?â
âKuck⦠Kuck. This⦠Thisâ¦â
âWrong or not!â
âThis bastard is trying to kill me! Help!â
â!â
Ratford was nervous at the shouts of the Dwarf Traveler who was calling his companions.
âI have a colleague!â
Sure enough, with a thumping sound from the second floor, another dwarf started running out with a pickaxe.
And that wasnât all. A fellow Dwarf who was walking outside also threw down the beer he was drinking and ran in with a club.
âI swear by my beard that I wonât be able to put my comrade down! You monster!â
âDo you think youâll be able to get out safely like this?!â
âShut up, we are the miners of the sunset mine! You canât stop us!â
The innkeeper caught the dwarf traveler and confronted the other two companions.
The innkeeper, wanting to overdo it, shouted to the clerk again.
âBring the ladle and ladle!â
â??â
At this point, rather than stopping the dwarf travelers, Ratford wondered what more the innkeeper would come up with.
âCan I use a ladle!? Shouldnât you bring the lid of the pot too?!â
âTake that too!â
The subdued Dwarf traveler gave a chuckle.
âJust⦠stop it!â
âWhat what?â
âClose the ladle and the lid of the potâ¦!â
â???â
My co-workers wondered what kind of bullshit they were.
Why did they stop him from coming out with a ladle and a lid?
âIf I move now, I canât stop it!â
âBut I still have to stop itâ¦â
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.
âLittle human! Will that work!â
âGo into the kitchen and hide until Iâm done!â
âWhoa Whoa Whoa Whoa Woudanaz family ladle!â
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 thingâ¦
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.
â!!!!!â
Ratford was horrified.
âThis is not an ordinary artifact!â
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.
âThis⦠What the hell is this crazy innkeeper⦠Artifact⦠Heck.â
âHey, you crazy Dwarves!â
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?
âTake the broom!â
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 wayâ¦
No way the general store owner??
âThe Wardanaz family broom!â
bang!!!
The three dwarves passed out after being hit by the trapping magic.
The villagers cursed at them and dragged them to the guardâs prison.
The fuss is over.
The innkeeper apologized to the guests and passed them a glass of beer.
âcustomer.â
â!â
Ratford was taken aback when the innkeeper suddenly called him.
âyes?â
âDid you find out Iâm a wizard?â
âI understand your surprise. But please donât spread rumors. Travelers are cut off when strange rumors circulate in the village.â
ââ¦â¦â
âPleaseâ¦â
The innkeeperâs expression was desperate. Ratford was overwhelmed by that and involuntarily nodded.
âBy the way, where did you find that artifactâ¦?â
ââ¦after. Itâs natural to be curious. This is a treasure bestowed by the Wardanaj family.â
âThe Wardanaz family! â¦Wait a minute, but why is the hat, ladle, and pot lidâ¦?â
âThere is a story there too.â
The innkeeper sighed.
So it was during the time of the innkeeperâs grandfatherâs grandfather.
At that time, the name of the inn here was not .
-â¦Since you have run the Inn well, I would like to award you a prize in the name of the Wodanaz family.
â Thank you persimmon. Demon⦠Overseer⦠Superintendent⦠Superintendent⦠Mr.
âAre you the devil?â
ââ¦did I say that? Not the devil, but the overseer, so the general. It was a story that looked like a devil.â
The innkeeper quickly took matters into his own hands and continued talking.
â Iâm trying to give you an artifact. How is it?
â Itâs okay, itâs okay!
The innkeeperâs grandfatherâs grandfather did not want to receive the artifact.
In fact, so did the other villagers.
People who donât know how to do it might say, âIf you get an artifact, you can sell it for a thousand gold,â 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 archmageâs 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! Iâll give you a report.
The demon disappeared and returned after a while.
â He told me to go to the inn and hang on the things you use. Will it be okay then?
-â¦â¦
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 didnât forget the meticulous consideration of hanging things that I usually use often.
ââ¦This is how it happened.â
âand. The Wodanaz family is truly amazing. To give artifacts like this to the villagers as gifts on a regular basis!â
Ratford was amazed.
As expected of Lee Hanâs family, the Wodanaz family was excellent enough to be considered one of the great aristocratic families of the Empire.
In addition, he didnât 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 donât say that!
ââ¦I always give thanks for the grace. Haha⦠Knowing that villagers have artifacts can scare travelers, so please donât spread this rumor.â
âDo not worry. I will definitely keep it. Rather, could you tell me something like this? Artifacts are treasuresâ¦â
âIf someone wants to find them, they will steal them.â
The innkeeper said plainly.
And later, realizing that he had spoken too casually, he took matters into his own hands.
âItâs a joke. joke. haha.â
âah. yes.â
âBut why did the guest comeâ¦?â
âA distant relative sent me a letter and asked me to come and help with work. I am a craftsman belonging to the locksmith guild. Iâll just go.â
âoh. Itâs a locksmithâs guild! Can I ask you to do just one thing?â
âwhatâ¦?â
âSome crazy customer left a carriage of eight horses in the stable and went away! I canât sell this and I have to keep it, but Iâm going to put a lock on it just in case.â
âThere are a lot of tourists as well as dwarf guests, so there are a lot of strange guests! Donât worry. Iâll stop by when the time is right after Iâve finished my work.â
Ratford came out of the inn, thinking that there were some very strange people.
* * *
âBrother. take care.â
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.
âItâs not that I donât like danger, but danger keeps coming to me⦠And the most recent danger was taken by my older brother.â
Arsil pretended not to hear and ended the hug.
âWhere 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, donât you?â
Arsil laughed at his brotherâs words.
Then he said seriously.
âKeep the score of the tomb well. Han Lee. It will help with your magic.â
â!â
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.
âHe was a very unique person.â
âthatâs right. I was also curious.â
âI almost died.â
Gainando grumbled.
If Lee Hanâs second brother was like this, he had no idea how evil and eccentric the first brother would be.
âItâs tough.â
âAre you a jerk?â
âokay. A tough man. Well said.â
âDid you see the principal?! hey. And juniors, what are you saying to seniors!â
At Eandurdeâs words, Gainando became furious.
Either that or not, Eandurde spilled it over her ear. The position of Cainando in Eandurde has already been determined.
âLee Han. Letâs go to our family mansion. huh? There is a lot to play there.â
âlater. I have friends who havenât come yet, so I have to go see them.â
âThen, are you going when everyone comes?â
âno. Iâm 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.â
ââ¦Iâm not good at alchemyâ¦â
âAll you have to do is look at herbs and dig them up. dig it all I will give you a reward.â
It was Lee Han who checked the request from the nearby adventurerâs 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.
âMemories are better than moneyâ¦â
Gainando murmured a phrase he had seen in the book. Lee Han and Yoner looked at Gainando like the worldâs idiots.
âMaking money is also a memory. Guinan Island.â
âHow nice to have memories of making money. Guinan Island.â
âIt really sucks.â
âIt was a pity that there was no production request. Thatâs pretty cool.â
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. Everyoneâs eyes turned towards it.
Surprisingly, Ratford appeared riding a golem.
âI am here! Mr. Wodanaz.â
âRatford!â
âOh, I was really impressed. A golem patrolling the territory! How happy the people who live around here are!â
âHaha. Iâm glad you said that.â
Lee Han was embarrassed by Ratfordâs praise.
The friends who saw it decided not to tell who had been patrolling until recently.
