Disciple of Immortal

Episode XIV: Exploring the Demonic Silver Wand

We were given a pass to follow Gannett to the back of the Magic Silver (Mithril) Staff.

The floor was covered with thick carpets and the walls were hung with elegant paintings.

The items in the case are arranged as if they were works of art.

Unlike the item stores we've been looking around, there are obviously a lot of researchers who seem to have an oligarchy skin.

Even if I ever look at this one and bow my head to Gannett, there was obviously no way to care that much about me or Pomera floating in this space.

Philia was more adult than usual when she was shocked that the receptionist told her, 'You can't possibly bring a child like this'.

"... Philia, you're being a good boy"

"Thank you, I'll help you too. Honestly, I didn't expect a place to be so awed... sorry."

I gently stroke Phyllia's head.

She meditated her eyes comfortably.

"Eh heh, Philia, Canata praised me"

Based on the receptionist's reaction, Philia thought it might be better if she waited outside, but this time it was a little difficult.

Pomera alone won't know the Adamant Ore, and lending the Acacia Memoir won't help you find an alternative when you didn't find it.

Or so I can't just put Pomera down in this situation and ask Gannett to show me around.

Gannett wants to be involved because Pomera is the one.

You may accept, but you won't feel very good.

... and Philia is a little dangerous to leave it to someone else in the red to keep an eye on.

She herself is pure, but if left alone, she could throw the ancestral dragon like before.

While me and Philia were talking, Pomera was talking about that and this from Gannett.

Pomera looked at me like she was desperately looking for help, answering.

... also, should I stick my neck in their conversation a little more?

It's Pomera that Gannett wants to talk to.

If you interrupt too much conversation, you may be recognized as a disturber by Gannett.

I just want to avoid undermining his mood as much as I can.

I walk and watch the surrounding exhibits.

The case was accompanied by a board hung with details of the exhibit.

The Wand of Magic and Silver (Mithril) is different from the shops I've seen around.

It's a real store.

Here, you'll find the material I'm looking for.

Just... one thing, there was a difficulty.

"Um... Mr. Gannett, we wanted to make sure that, you know, we had something we wanted, but we actually can't afford a lot of money right now. I'm sorry that you bothered to follow me around..."

Even Class D items had a value of over 300,000 gold.

Probably more than double the price of "Adamant Ore" for S-Class items.

If we suck, we could go as close as a million gold.

Unfortunately, it doesn't extend a bit with the gold in hand right now.

"Oh, my God, did I? However, as long as Lord Pomera would like, the payment can take the form of another opportunity. We hope you and I will have a little longer relationship."

That's what Gannett said with a mild grin.

Thankful suggestion... I don't really feel like I should owe this guy too much.

"And what is Lord Pomera looking for?

Gannett asks Pomera.

"Uh... Ore, please. So, that's okay, isn't it, Mr. Canata?

Pomera will check with me.

I nodded small.

Gannett looked at me and Pomera in surprise.

He seemed to be overmeasuring my relationship with Pomera.

When Pomera turns back to Gannett, he smiles again as if nothing had happened.

"It's an ore, I'll take care of it. Here, the Wand of Demonic Silver (Mithril) is particularly confident in its range of ores. Anyway, it is said that the quantity and quality of magicians held is comparable to that of the Court Alchemy Division."

Gannett said he was good at it.

We were allowed to follow Gannett into a room on the third floor using a staircase.

"Originally, this place is reserved for people inside or who have known each other for more than a decade even among those with a laissez-passer...... under the authority of Lord Pomera and others are invited specifically"

A number of glass cases are on display in large rooms, with a wide array of ores inside.

It was very beautiful how colorful ore was arranged with completely different appearances.

"Wow, beautiful...!

After Phyllia leaked her exclamation, she was blocking her mouth with both hands as if she were angry.

"Yeah, let's be, shall we? I'm also concerned about placement. If you like something, we'll give you something processed for your neckline."

Gannett lowered his head slightly and said so face-to-face with Philia.

"Really!?

Filia sparkles her eyes.

I felt my own blood draw away.

It's not surprising that the ore here is nearly a million gold.

Exactly. I don't think I should make that debt to Gannett.

"Phi, Phyllia, that's just bad for Mr. Gannett, so let's be patient here"

"... well. If Kanata says so, I will."

"Well, if I can afford it, I'll buy it for you again sometime..."

"Kanata's giving it to me! Philia, I'm waiting!

Phyllia clamped her arms dry, then pressed her mouth with both arms again as she noticed all the more.

"Ho, I don't have a problem shouting a little louder. There's no one else in this room right now."
