Episode XII: Unnamed Axes and Referral Properties

□ [Saint Knight] Ray Sterling

It has been another hour since I chose [Wheel of Small and Large Summons] for the first reward.

The miniature Gardranda, commonly known as the Tibigal, that was wrapped around my hair and head skin, has already been de-subpoken. He seemed dissatisfied, but convinced him that he would call again when he bought the translated item later.

Nevertheless, I was strangled enough to bleed, but luckily my scalp and hair healed even with some healing magic to my extent. Naturally, but they were considerably milder than arm defects.

... Next time I call you, I won't say "don't curse" so let's get you to remember to add and subtract.

Well, besides Io, who had already decided to sort the weapons, I also finished choosing Luke and Fuji, and later it was just for my second and Xia.

"Kasumi is a [High Summoner], and isn't it still a good accessory derived from the summons, like Ray?

"Yeah... but that doesn't mean the owner hasn't chosen it before...?

"No, I got Gardranda's subpoena skills after I did some part-time work, so I might have overlooked them before that"

"I need to consolidate my guard over my summoning skills in the first place! If it's Kasumi now, it's a piece of cake!

"... if I eat Io's blow, the guards in the same level zone usually die?

Talking to this like that, I'm looking for Kasumi's armor.

"Is Mr. Ray's second okay?

"Um, I was looking for it while I was decursing it, but the decursion work itself wouldn't go on until just now."

I was de-cursing the [rings of great and small] and then de-cursing the second or third weapon, but somehow this is not de-cursed.

I've been able to de-curse there for five minutes or so, but I've been absorbing resentment from the same weapon for another hour.

At first he said, "Could it be that [Purple Grievance A] 's capacity is full and I can't smoke anymore? I also thought," If I put that weapon behind me to try and de-curse the other weapon, it would be over in less than a minute.

In other words, the weapon - like a large one-handed axe (Battleax) with a black cloth glue-wrapped around the part of the blade - does not end the curse.

I could have left it, but I'm somewhat concerned and continue to de-curse it.

By the way, the curse of this is going to stay on the floor. There's nothing like an aura of curse leaking around like some weapons, but for that matter...... I get the feeling that I'm tightly solidified in the weapon itself.

And if you smoke it, you get just the resentment you smoke, and still there's no way the curse can be lifted.

Obviously the total amount of resentment is different from other weapons.

"Are you saying the curse is that thick?

"Perhaps."

"... I wonder if I might choose this as my source of resentment"

A considerable amount of resentment accumulated, but it is also well thought out to be used up in the forthcoming battle.

Sometimes I would call Gardranda on the "Extremely Large" side of [Ring of Small and Large Summons].

... It would be nice to see the MP cost swell up, but it would be a straight line of death penalty if any of the three species came out once it increased to the time and effect of the cons.

"This one-handed axe... I don't know what comes out of the curse, so it's like chatter. Well, he seems to be your lord, and choosing it is not your hand."

I had a few questions about what Nemesis said.

"You're a weapon, but you don't say you can't."

Until now, a nemesis with terribly strict criteria for weapons and no single weapon in any store, not just this curse reward, has issued an OK.

Nemesis patted his eyes in the wind of 'I just noticed myself,' to my words, and looked at a one-handed axe in the process of decursion.

"Speaking of which, yeah.... but I don't know what to say, it seems like it's an ant."

"Sensibly?

"This still makes half of me a weapon. And because it's a weapon, there are things you can tell."

Nemesis, Maiden with Arms, crouches down and looks down at a one-handed axe.

"This must be an awesome weapon. Besides... I think I saw something similar somewhere..."

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Nemesis's second form? It's black and... it's an axe, right?

"No, Kasumi. I don't think it's me. But I think it's one of the weapons I've seen up close..."

"Then you're Gorin the Atashi!

"Obviously they're too different sizes. I mean, not in form, but... atmosphere? But what similarities..."

Nemesis wasn't. It looked like he was trying to remind me it wasn't like this.

I've been thinking about mine, but I don't know.

But Nemesis's OK came out, and I'm pretty sure it's still useful as a source at the moment, so my second is going to be this one-handed axe.

"... No. What's the name of this axe?

I bring the Appraisal Eye magnifying glass closer.

Many things have names as cursed things like that "CBR Armor" even if it's a cursed article, so I thought I'd take a look at that for a moment......

'An axe that could not be named.

■ to ■ an axe that could not be broken.

Axe ■ to ■ with ■.

■ also ■, ■ also ■ straw ■ axe '

That was the only information the Appraisal Eye showed.

The name is blank... No, it's not even blank.

The description is also full of insects. It is not in a state where the level of the "Appraisal Eye" is insufficient, as in [Ring of Small and Large Summons]. Sensibly close... when I saw my brother's cover-up status when I was just getting started?

"... well, I couldn't mark the craftsman I hit with an old production item, you know?

The only decently readable wording is' The Axe That Couldn't Be Named ', so.

The craftsman who made it may have had some dissatisfaction with this axe.

If you look at it, some of the pattern may be missing.

Besides, it looks a long time old. It may be older than any other piece of gear I've been cursing here.

"Are all of you here?

The vault door opened when we were troubled with a one-handed axe in front of us, and they called out.

The Lord of the Voice was a young man whose neighborhood under his eyes stood out… Count Gideon, the keeper of this vault.

The Count is younger than me because of his age, but he is the one who is ruling Count Gideon's territory, an important part of the kingdom.

… at the same time, he is also the person who continued to suffer damage as a result of that and other calamities that struck Gideon. I can say the bandits, the white coats, Mr. Hannya's biggest victim.

The neighborhood under my eyes is probably because of that.

"Count, why are you here?

"I had a consultation with the < Death Period > people, so it depends on my legs...... Is there anything you'd like to call me?

"Yes, the three of you have already chosen and all you have to do is me and her"

The Count speaks naturally and respectfully because he is also my part-time client.

"It's a strange thing."

What? What?

"No, even though Azrite, the First Princess and the king's deputy, is a tame mouth, what a tribute to Liliana and the Earl of the Knight is."

... Well, Azrite tells me that in private, you can have a tame mouth.

Or whether it's Azrite or Liliana, I think the language just keeps up when we first spoke.

"Is that what it is?"

That's what it is.

"Oh, yeah. Does the Count know what this axe is?

"Axe......?

The Earl looked at the axe placed on the floor, but tilted his neck.

"... No, you don't know. You, what's going on with the dossier?

The Count speaks to the official who was outside the room.

The guy who was recording the gear we chose, he shook his head as he saw a bunch of paper too.

"That's... no record. From the number in the ledger, it looks like it was stored when we were founded."

"... many of the goods here were obtained in the [evil god] crusade. They are a combination of performance details and origins, and in many cases the curse was broken and the function was first found...... Can you only see that it's one of those things... There seems to be something else... check the materials again after the distribution at the" tournament "... no, it's better before the distribution... oh sorry"

"No......"

It is risky to use a cursed weapon while it is cursed, and if it is not accurately appraised in the Appraisal Eye, as just now, there is no choice.

However, did the Count feel any strain, suppressing his stomach area.

... when I saw him before and after Franklin's incident, he was more obsessed.

"So... what happened to that axe?

"My second reward, can I keep this cursed?

When I said that, the Count looked a little surprised but nodded quickly.

"I don't mind as this one. Because you were supposed to be free to choose from what was in the vault. But... Are you sure?

"Because in my case, being cursed also makes sense."

"I see. Okay. So let's go through the process."

After such interaction, my second reward was determined to be an unnamed one-handed axe.

I wrapped my axe in an anti-theft item box, careful not to touch it directly with my hands.

"So, Count. What kind of errands do you have for us?

"Yep. Actually... I pinched a story in my ear about < Death Period > looking for a home base in Gideon"

... I guess I pinched it somewhere.

Is Gideon already a familiar ninja intelligence network?

"I just heard from Mr. Figaro, who came to greet me on my return."

Oh, that way.

"Uh, well. There are many problems in Wangdu that I couldn't find..."

"Yeah, I know. As a Gideon, I'm grateful to have you based in a leading clan and as a hometown. It's comforting..."

Even in that [Gloria] case, I've heard that there was a giant clan that fought to protect Hometown.

I guess the Count's words are based on that too.

"Is the matter about that? Then I'm going to say hello later from us..."

"No, it's a step further than saying hello."

A story that went one step further?

I don't know what that is and when I'm tilting my neck inside...

"To all < Death Period > who are thinking of being based in Gideon, … I would like to introduce you to a property"

That's what the Count said and cut out that there was a property he wanted to recommend as our home base.

Then we were led by the Count to see the property.

I didn't think the Count would have to guide himself... but there's something going on.

Even just before riding the carriage to the property, the Count leads to the door, either by unconsciousness or by 'stomach aches... “Tournament” from tomorrow. Will it be okay? Wouldn't they be terrorized again...... I wanted to get away with some other work......' he was leaking the groan out of his mouth.

... seems to be coming quite mentally because of the crisis of devastation that has come many times in a short period of time.

Even though you're younger than me, you're starting to mix white things in your hair.

After the “tournament" has been completed, and after a paragraph with the Empire, I want you to calm down slowly.

By the way, the Count is sitting in a different front compartment than we are. Maybe he takes a nap in the car, or maybe he's working there.

... That's tough.

It should be noted that it is me and Fujidan and Io who go to see the property in the Count's carriage, and my brother who has been contacted by [Telepathic Cuffs].

Luke is helping you out because Kasumi hadn't finished choosing yet.

"Fujino and Io don't have to help? 'I thought,' but we both followed this way as we thumbed up to Kasumi.

... Well, I guess that means I pushed my friend's back. That much I can tell.

"Property…?"

Two, my brother sitting next to me shrugged as he looked out.

"What's the matter, brother?"

"No, I'm talking about a property introduction." Was there such a good property around here? ♪ I just thought, bear ♪

I'm told, I look out the window.

The carriage runs down the boulevard, but the building facing that boulevard also looks somewhere dark. It reminds me of the slum streets of the big developed cities I've seen on TV and so on.

But at the same time, I saw some obscene exuberance, and a pretty sign shop lined up.

Also, I don't see the person who goes on the road somehow......

"I just want to be here..."

"Eighth Avenue. There are bandit guilds and women's guilds, and the most insecure regional bear in this gideon '

…………

Oh, yeah. The air is different from the most common streets and Fourth Avenue.

Luke and the others will be used to going by because they have a Girls Guild.

"Hey, hey, Fuji! Wow! That's awesome. There's a sign for some horny underwear! And there are signs in the mosaic that you can't see! This is the rumored visual age system, ghh......!?

"... as a woman, keep the minimum TPO"

Io seemed tense about the city atmosphere.

It's too far up and it's sanctioned by Fujidan again though.

"... are you okay, going through in such a fancy carriage"

"Ma, even if it's insecure, there's no idiot in a boulder who hands on a carriage with the Count's crest, so it's more of a safety bear."

... Now if you get your hands on it, the Count will jump out.

"Hmm. But what kind of property is there in such insecure areas?

"That's right. The Count wants to introduce himself, so I think it's a good property."

"Ah! Atashi, I get it!

Io strained his chest eh and said so confidently.

"What property do you think Io is?

"It must be a property where there was a murder! The Mafia fought each other, killing all the residents! Ever since then, ghosts have been possessed and there's been no pickup! That's why it's a calculation to get rid of the spirit with the owner's privileged weapons and undead exorcism skills before handing it over for a cheap price!

"............ I see"

... I don't know what to do, I think I mean it.

"Io, isn't that an accident property?"

"The kingdom itself is the biggest accidental property, so now I'm thinking... whoa."

"Brother, what now?

"Nothing, Kumar."

... Well, I'm also like, 'Are you cursed?' I told Azrite.

"Anyway, I'm going to show you the situation, so I don't think it's an accident property."

What do you expect?

"Wouldn't you let the abandoned house evict illegally occupied residents and build a new base there? In the form of the use of force by the Death Period."

"... I'm afraid of the idea"

It's going to be a series of troubles with local residents later and beyond.

... I'd like to think neither.

"True, what property will guide you..."

As the carriage passed through Eighth Avenue, there was something built there.

It is one of the thirteen arenas in this Gideon, the eighth arena on Eighth Street.

"You've never seen the Eighth Street Arena before."

Each arena is built at the end of a boulevard stretching from Gideon's Central Grand Arena to each street.

Each arena should have the same basic structure and this eighth arena should also be equipped for duels.

But is it because you seem lonely somewhere more than the other arenas you used in mock warfare?

"We're here."

The carriage stopped and found this neighborhood to be the end point in the words of Count Gideon, who was called from the front compartment.

But even if I get out of the carriage and look around, the buildings in my eyes are mostly shops and liquor stores... I don't see anything like a mansion.

"Count, which property would you like to introduce us to?

"This way."

If you say that and they point it at you by hand, I don't see it.

"Is it across the eighth arena on the other side? 'And I think.

"Lord Ray Sterling, owner of Death Period"

The Count, with the neighborhood under his eyes, looked straight at me...

"Would you like to (...) buy this eighth arena as your home base (...)?"

- I've made suggestions I never imagined.
