The streets attacked by the Augur were in the process of being repaired. Apparently, they are used to it, and the buildings are already fixed in order of proximity to the center.
It doesn't seem to matter where we're going.
Is this a magic store?
"Yes, the main strata of those who left the Beastmen."
Hmmm.
Ronnie's expression was steep.
Standing on the main street, but from her point of view - from the Beastmen's point of view, it must be an abomination.
The history of sleeping in the blood of a race evokes that emotion.
Hey, why don't you come in quickly?
Just standing in front of the store gathered gaze. Of course, to me.
It seems that a bad impression is inevitable, and if this continues, it will have a negative impact on Ronnie.
Unexpectedly.
Ah, uhm, Mr. Zid.
I can call out.
The people of the Beastmen are hardened.
Each one seemed to have something in his hand.
"... what is it?"
Asks questions with vigilance.
There will be no battle. It didn't seem like a very strong Beastman.
There is also the possibility of sudden rumors.
Whilst preparing for it, their next word is:
"--Thank you for yesterday. This is a thank you.”
"Take it from me, too." Thank you for saving my daughter. "
"Me too! Thank you!"
Bouquets of flowers and fish are brought to me one by one.
Finally, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I had no choice but to put it on the ground.
Oh, that's it.....
"It's so sweet, Zido."
"I'm glad you're so cold-eyed."
The lacrimal glands seem to loosen from the gap between the expected attitude and the expected attitude.
It took me a while to calm down while receiving gifts and gifts like this.
"Oh, did you guys think it was noisy?" What's wrong with you? "
The shopkeeper of the magic item - Biktan made a face.
"I'm sorry, suddenly people gathered." I'll take care of all the stuff here, so give me a minute. "
When I noticed it, something was scattered in front of the Bactan store.
However, after Bictan smiled, he returned to the store and brought something that looked like a board with a handle on it.
The board was full of magic power.
It's a magic item.
"Please use this." It will reduce the weight. "
“I'm sorry, thanks, and I need to talk to you, Bactan.”
"Hmm. For me?"
That said, it's not me, it's the two of us.
I gazed at Queena and Ronnie.
I opened the door wide after the speculative wind bicutan nodded.
"Well, please come inside." There is also a place to store your luggage. "
With Victan inviting us in his favor, we packed our gifts and went inside.
It was not idle inside... and the magic items were being sold neatly without dust.
It seems that the store is not open yet, but it seems to be in full swing.
"It's the only thing like this." So, what can I do for you? "
Victan served us tea and sweets, and we sat around the desk.
Even though I wasn't hostile, Bactan was a little wary. Probably because Ronnie was next door.
I'd love to show this magic item to Ronnie.
Quena says.
The object must be a trial. First, I wanted to tell Ronnie about the magic items and the significance of the Bactans.
"I don't mind that, but what can I do for you?"
Wide range from domestic to combat use
I see. Let's have a look at the simple bath first--
Then Bactan unveiled a variety of magic items.
Porch to hold your luggage in compression.
Baths, cooking utensils, etc., that are ok even if you're camping in the field for about a week.
Earrings for secure communication even when away.
All of them are good enough.
Ronnie's interest seemed to have aroused.
"It was interesting. You made the expedition easier."
"No, I don't have a demise." Because the Beastmen are mostly after the humans. "
Hmm?
"Roque can't do research with the Beastmen." Besides, there are scornful eyes. Those who have a heart live far away. ”
“That's what I heard. But this is how the magic store actually opens up on the front. I have dissatisfaction in every job, and if I complain, I won't feel guilty.”
"I'm the only one who opens the store on the main street. Most of them are just in the alley or away from the city. Above all, research costs money. I know it has a golden vein, but I don't have a pickle... that's the status quo."
Bictan replied in a polite tone, reinforcing his tone of voice.
Hmmm. You said you had magic items for battle, but is that true?
“Sure, let's go underground.”
Being taken by the victans, there was more space than a shop down the stairs. The walls seem to be made of stone, but they are coated with even more magic. It will be more robust than it looks.
"Nowadays, fire, water, ice, and things that create the magic of the wind are popular. Some of them form swords and spears with soil and wood.”
"I want to see the most powerful thing."
"In that case, this is it." It is a magic item of [Flame and Thunder]. "
It is a glass with a diamond shape and red and yellow shapes.
Then Bactan showed the wooden doll that was provided.
"Please check the strength of this doll."
"Oh, it's a good material." It's hard. "
Ronnie slammed the doll in the direction of knocking on the door.
The soft sound of the conglomerate resounded.
Me and Quenna checked and knocked just in case. It's definitely hard. Probably harder than cutting a big tree in half.
Then Bactan leaves the wooden doll and sees our confirmation satisfactorily.
"Please don't come forward before me." And the sound is amazing, so please be careful. "
When Bactan advised him to do so, he smashed the [Flame and Thunder].
A shattered fragment remains in my hand.
Bactan poured a trace of magic power into them before throwing them into the air.
Moments.
A frightening sound resounded, and a mixture of flames and thunder attacked the front.
(If it was a wooden doll, it would be to extinguish the charcoal in an instant.)
There are no remaining prototypes.
The scorched black charcoal is just a screaming smoke.
(I see. Surely this can be used in combat.)
There was a time lag before use.
But that must have been a slow show for us. If you get used to it, it would be as fast as using magic normally.
As for the quality of magic, it may be at the top of the B rank or at the bottom of the A rank. It was unleashed by a hand-kneaded wizard in a hand-kneaded state.
Moreover, I was surprised because the magic power I used was very small.
"Quena is certainly the only one who has the strength to comment."
Ronnie said admiringly.
Then go forward, and pluck the hot charcoal.
"I just don't think magic items can hold that much." Also, magic plays a role in triggering the "chanting", but isn't the magic item until after the accident? "
“Yeah, that's right. You should treat it with care. And it's a little more expensive..."
"In short, I might have said that magic is for people who can't use it." But you have to have a wide view. Don't look far. That's what I'm talking about. "
Ronnie puts her hand on her chin.
Then, after a while of thinking, I asked Bactan.
Humans are more capable of using magic items?
"Yes, very much. Rumor has it that the appointed wise man is not skilled in magic." Instead, they say they use magic items to fight. ”
I've never heard of it.
It should be a futuristic way of fighting.... well, maybe I should practice my magic items, too?
Wise man... there are more magic items in the human race than [Flame and Thunder]?
"[Flame and Thunder] is like a nursery play that I made. The magic items we see firsthand among the humans are even more.”
No, that would be humble.
I have seen magic items for battle several times, but this Biktan made [Flame Thunder] boasts a high level of completion.
Moreover, Bictan continued.
“By handling multiple magic items, you don't have to carry large quantities or take time to select them.”
"... the way you fight will change dramatically?"
“There are already signs of change in large-scale combat. I think it was introduced into the actual battle in the Waila Empire of the Humans."
"Hmm... I didn't know because I haven't had a fight with the humans for a long time."
Ronnie winked for a moment as her ears heard about the water. I bet you didn't expect magic items to be used in so many places.
I've heard about it somehow, but...
It was about the Weyra Empire, so I glanced at Quena. I was wondering if there was any information.
"From the beginning, the information is under control." Of course, it's confidential. "
Quena didn't seem to know about it either.
He shook his head from side to side and sighed helplessly.
"It's not good to just say you hate the Beastmen."
Ronnie looks challenging. Her eyes seemed to say something to her, but she was eager to get things done.
I had a feeling that this was what Quenna wanted.
"You! What's your name?"
“My name is Bactan. I've been fascinated by magic items since I was a kid.”
One of the ears of the brown pupa stood against the other.
"When I'm the best warrior!" I will appoint you to be the Protector! "
……
Bactan's calm expression turned and surprised me.
Quenna and I were surprised to see Ronnie change.
"But I'm a beastman who can use magic items... and I have the ability to fight like a guardian..."
"Times are changing!" The guardians of my time are not just hands and legs. I want someone who can use his head! "
"What..."
"Let's get some magic items." I use it in real battles, too. "
Is it a real battle?
"Hmm. If I use it, everyone will follow me." If you do, you'll see magic items differently, and you'll see Bectan shops and other magic stores thrive! ”
If that happens, there will be more magic items out on the street.
Quena told me to supplement it.
"... thank you. You will be rewarded with the thoughts of all kinds of beasts."
Victan wipes his fingers with tears accumulated at the end of his eyes.
You must have given up in the meantime. Magic items are allowed in the Beast Man clan. That is why he was so impressed.
