Legend

"Hey, Ray, did you do it all in the end? I'm sorry."

Langa, who came out of the bush with the other crusaders, tells him so with a small scratch of his head.

Ray flaunts his shoulder small and opens his mouth to Langa throwing words of labor at him.

"The bandit thing is a formal request. I'll let you do your job.... Better than that, tie them all up before they have a weird idea over there?

"Hmm? Sure you are. … all of them."

Copy that, sir.

To Langa's instructions, a crusader soldier answered with a voice and quickly tied up a member of the blade with a rope in his hand.

While watching the bandits do nothing strange, Langa calls out to Ray, who is watching members of the similarly bloody blade next door.

"There are oddly many bodies of goblins, but what about this?

"These guys were fighting goblins when I got here. A story I heard yesterday in Gilm about some party crushing a goblin settlement that was behind the woods by the street, so it's probably its survival."

"... I see. That said, you had that information. Is it natural to bump into it just because it was making the same forest a territory?... what about goblin bodies, crusade proof sites, and demon stones?

"Right, then I'll just take the Hobgoblin Demon Stone. I don't have it yet. It's a magic stone."

You cannot absorb demon stones in Warcraft unless you or Seto are involved in the battle. But it seems odd that I don't collect any more rare demon stones than I publicly declare that I have a hobby for collecting demon stones. To Ray, who told him from that thought, Ningro Langa nodded all the time that he was helped.

"If Hobgoblin's Demon Stone is all you need, there's nothing to complain about. No, Ning Ro, I want to thank you enough. As for the treasure of the bandits, they belong to Dusker, but you can have the Goblin demon stone and crusade proof here."

"... but it's goblins, isn't it?

"Sure, one might be cheap, but still, if the numbers get together, it's not going to be that much money. And..."

"It would be the cost of launching after this case is over, wouldn't it?

It was the knight who showed up from the bush who told him so that he could cover himself in Langa's words.

I guess this one has no objection to Langa's words only to the person seconded by Gilm.

"Yes, we have the cost of the launch, but if you make a little money here, it'll be a little extravagant."

As someone who stands on top, I guess the labor of his men is also an important task.

Maybe you can't do it for yourself. When Ray talks to the knight for a while while while thinking that way, eventually comes a crusader soldier who's finished tying them all up.

"Completed capturing the bloody blade"

"Okay. Then keep an eye on me a little further away. And what did these people take from the merchants?

"That's..."

In the words of the knight, a crusader soldier cages his mouth as troubled.

Ray opens his mouth watching it.

"Apparently, they were attacked by goblins when they pulled up here. They also took out whatever treasures they were accumulating at that time.... Look, like it's over there"

At the end of Ray's gaze is the figure of a goblin slashed to pieces.

He is not breathing already, but he holds an elongated crystal that is about 30 cm long in his hand, which is falling to the ground.

It's not that expensive to look at as a gem, but it was one of the materials that would be quite useful if used as a magic item material.

The knight, and Ranga, must have noticed the crystal that was holding the goblin. He opens his eyes small and exhales at the next moment.

I mean, because we have to look around this aside and even fish for goblin bodies.

Plus, we just have to give up on the items that the escaped goblins would have taken.

(No, I guess it turned out to be something of a reward for the Mileynes hunting for the rest of the goblins tomorrow, in one way or another)

Turn your gaze toward knights and langa while you think that way in your heart.

"Uh... right, I'll do that around here for now. What about Ray's share? You can get whatever you want out of the bandit's stockpile, right?

"Oh. Well, if I should have defeated a bandit, I could have taken that adventurer round... this time it's an immediate request from Master Dusker"

Ray squeaks with a small sigh.

"You can't help that. Requests normally received in guilds and direct requests from lords. If you think about it the same way, your head is too eye-catching. Besides, as a corporal, Ray's request is only for crusader support, right?... Well, actually, it looks like this."

"We have a situation here, too. I didn't want to waste my time here."

Ray flaunts his shoulders and returns his words to the words of a knight who groans somewhere.

In the meantime, the soldier goes to the tent where he reports that it is being used as a warehouse to find out if there are any good magic items.

"Shit, isn't what you're doing with us after all? It's just the difference between us taking it from the merchants or them taking it from us."

One of the bloody blades throws up and discards as he sees Ray, along with the knights and the langa, heading to the stored tent of the treasure they desperately collect.

A soldier who was left as a lookout for the word turns a sharp gaze, but doesn't do anything to say anything in particular.

To avoid concentrating solely on the man by talking.

In front of you is a group of mercenaries named Blood-coated Blades, whose power is well known for its emphasis on mobility.

The lack of forgiveness was not only famous for its strength.

And yet, I don't know what I would do if I showed a gap in the detour.

No, I don't think I would imitate that more than there is a presence of deep red right around the corner, but still, I forbid to be alarmed.

(Chuckles)

Thus, Evelogi, who sees the soldier's attitude, tongues inside.

Sure, it was Evelogi who made the choice to get caught by the adults in front of Ray, but that's best if he can still get away here.

The flying griffon is troublesome, but given the geographic factor of the forest, I should have managed to escape if I was the only one.

But the soldiers around them are not alarmed at all, even if they are tied up.

No, on the contrary...

"Gru."

Seto, who did not go with him to the tent where Ray headed, falls asleep near the Everogis, honking his throat.

I'm meditating on my eyes as they are, but there's just the presence of Seto, and I had to give up on the act of escaping here.

"Hey, dude. Are you sure?

"Oh. I have the captain's permission.... or the captain asked Ray to send me Seto."

"... I see. Well, it certainly makes Seto feel more comfortable than we are watching."

The crusader soldiers, who watched over the Evelogi and the others, also exchanged words in a low voice as they turned their gaze toward Seto, who was sleeping nearby.

In fact, you're right about that.

What's more useless than having Seto, no matter what the members of the captured bloody blade do.

The crusader soldiers exhaled relief when they saw Seto from a state of nervousness and continued to monitor the Everogics without even imitating their work.

"Uh... no, well, naturally"

Ray squeaks unexpectedly when he sees inside a tent led by a crusader soldier.

Certainly there was a wide variety of things in the tent that could be described as treasures.... Yes. It was stored and 'there'.

The contents are mostly taken away by goblins, and all that remains are some old items.

I guess the goblins didn't get their hands on it either because I didn't think it was worth it to look at.

Ray looks inside the vandalized tent and exhales, pointing his gaze towards Langa and the knight, who have a sinking look just like himself.

"So... what do we do?

"No matter what they say we do... at least the salvation is that many of the goblins were knocked down by the bloody blades"

It seems that Langa's dialogue, which leaked with the sigh, was also consensual to the knight, and this one opens its mouth toward Ray as he sighs again.

"So, we talked about choosing the reward from among these... Exactly, you don't like choosing between these few, do you?

As the knight put it, it hardly seems worth it to remain in the tent.

... I thought so Ray collects what was taken to the goblins and then decides again. That's what I tried to say, then.

A gaze was inadvertently directed at the broken crate at the end of his gaze.

I wasn't interested in the crate itself. Seen from that broken spot, I was distracted by something that reflected the light of the sun coming in from the tent because I thought it had been torn by goblins.

"... give me a minute"

Speak to Langa and the two knights and take something of it out of the broken crate.

Something of it is made of metal that draws a round circle just the size of a flat hand, and the chain extends from the tip.

But that's not the problem. What surprised Ray more than anything...

"Made of Mithril," he said?

Yes, Ray had it in his hand, and the whole body and chain was made of mythrills.

Mithrills are rare magic metals that can easily tame magic, and the only thing Ray has that hobby of collecting magic items is also a Mithrill knife.

It was so sparse of magic metal.

"Besides, this is..."

There is a switch that pushes into the top of the circle, where the surface of the body opens around the switch.

Inside are numbers from 1 to 12.

The numbers were also made of embedded gems, and the needles that circled between the numbers were also made of misrills.

Needles indicating time, needles indicating minutes, needles indicating seconds. That is...

"Clock, huh?"

It's called a pocket watch.

There is also a clock in this world, as the bell sounds at a set time, starting with Gilm and Exil.

However, the clock used by adventurers is as precise as an hourglass.

If even that hourglass is about a few minutes old, it's still common for it to be made as a magic item because it's too big when you need something in hours.

Ray also has a hourglass magic item, but it's like it's in his hand now... that's the first time I've seen a watch that's not weird even if it's normally sold in Japan.

It was difficult to make as a magic item in the first place, and the number of craftsmen, including alchemists who could make it, was very scarce.

It's not something that you can buy if you have money, but something like handouts and connections are important.

Even for a pocket watch in Ray's hands, it was probably ordered by someone like some nobleman or big merchant.

"... hey, a watch. Besides, it's made of Mithril, so you'll need to consume less magic."

"This is... brilliant"

The Mithril, the part of the pocket watch lid, is filled with elaborate sculptures such as trees growing around the fountain.

The knight must have been surprised by that part.

Ray turns his gaze only for a moment toward the two people who are raising his exclamation and returns his gaze to the pocket watch again.

As Langa put it, it's probably because the majority of watches are made of misrills. When Ray had a tremendous amount of magic in him, he felt very familiar with his hands. Is this also due to the high degree of affinity with the magical powers of Mithril?

"That was an unexpected pick up. … I'll reward you for this request."

"I guess. If you have all that stuff, do you usually choose it?"

"Oh, Master Dusker has some clocks, but when it comes to this..."

Hearing those two voices, Ray tries to keep his pocket watch inside the mistering, inadvertently stopping the move.

(Time stops while you're inside the mistering. Wouldn't it taste bad to put a watch in it?

Whatever it is like an hourglass, putting a pocket watch in the mistering seems a lot creepy. That's what I decided, Ray, but I guess I questioned Ray, who stopped moving with his pocket watch in his hand. The knight opens his mouth.

"What's up?

"No, I'm not sure if I can put this watch inside the item box."

"With that said, time would have stopped in the item box."

Ray nods at Langa's words as he was listening to the conversation on the side.

"Oh. So if I put a clock in the item box, I guess I'll miss the time."

Then you shouldn't have to worry.

A knight who lightly denies the concern that came out of Ray's mouth.

When Ray, questioning it, turns his gaze to the knight, the knight smiles and opens his mouth.

"Magic items, not just clocks, are moving magic as a source of power. Especially when it comes to watches like that, it has the ability to automatically match time when absorbing magic. Since all the watches that Master Dusker had also had such features, that clock, which I think is probably close to the finest, will also be fine."

Even as I tilted my neck at such a knight's words, it would not be clear what was true or false if I didn't try it for now, so I kept my watch inside the mistering.
