Legend

Lenora is going to be busy at the reception, which means that Ray, who was taken by another guild official to the guild's warehouse, confirms that there is no one around him and then takes the hammer that Cyclops was using out of Mystering.

No sound, its hammer, which suddenly appeared next to the ray, naturally falls to the ground without being able to hold it in the ray in its present state.

(... that? Could this have been a life-threatening thing if the patterned part had come out down?

Such a question passes in Fujiray as he looks at the pattern of hammers falling to the ground and making loud noises.

In fact, it was Ray who survived a situation that may have been a crisis in his life, but without putting it on the table he goes to the guild staff...... gaze at the person in front of him who is highly capable of appraising magic items.

"So this is the hammer that the red cyclops used."

"... is this it? Hmm, looks pretty good when you look at it like this."

A man in his fifties or so, with a white jawbeard stretched around his chest, shrugs as impressed.

"May I touch it?

"Uh... I don't know. Just give me a minute."

Returning to the words of the guild staff, Ray stretches his index finger and touches the hammer himself.

He was a guild official who turned a curious glance at what the hell he was doing, but from the pattern Ray touched, there is no such thing as taking over that will as when he first touched the pattern.

(Are you sure the kind of consciousness that was in this hammer disappeared in one thing back then? I'm glad, though... no, you can't overconfident me)

Gently releasing his hand, Ray opens his mouth toward the guild official.

"As a matter of fact, the red cyclops that used this hammer felt like they would eventually take over consciousness by this hammer. Without consciousness, it feels like being manipulated by a hammer with something like a root of a tree in your body."

"Become!?

To Ray's words, the guild clerk, who was watching with interest near the hammer, jumps back.

The move was also a testament to the fact that he was not a movement of those who were not very, but did not know the actual battle, but a person who quite remembered him in his arms.

(Alliance staff at the border...... if that's someone with a high knowledge of magic items too, isn't that strange)

Though slightly surprised by the appearance of the Alliance staff, Ray touches the hammer head area to prove his safety.

"Don't worry. If the ability to manipulate the user remains intact, the hammer will manipulate me too. I wouldn't have been able to store it in an item box before."

"... I see. If you were to manipulate the person you touched, you would."

I guess I was relieved for a moment by Ray's words, but I still don't do anything to get close to the hammer in a detour.

This didn't mean I didn't trust Ray's words, it was because I just had to be cautious because I had a high level of knowledge of magic items.

I've heard from people I know several times that a man is also a magic item of his will.

This is the first time I've seen it in person, but as much as I've heard from acquaintances that most of the magic items in their hands are cursed, it was causing the owner to reach a tragic end.

Not everything ends that way, of course.

One of the best ends the man has heard would be the willingness to live in a magic item and its bearers in a cooperative relationship.

But that's only a few, and the willingness to live on most magic items brings tragedy to the owner.

That's why the man had to be vigilant enough to persevere as to whether the hammer in front of him was really safe and secure.

"I don't think you need to worry that much. When this hammer tried to take over me, it felt like the opposite was overwritten by the magic I possessed... so there was no more consciousness in the hammer."

"I'm sorry, but I can't be more relieved than if I hadn't seen it with these eyes."

Ray also returns nothing more than a snort to the guild officials who seem sorry to bow their heads.

(This is how the real job is so vigilant, maybe...... no, definitely this magic item is a dangerous substitute)

Thinking that way, Ray watches the guild staff wear bracelets and necklaces removed from their nostalgia.

Think from the flow of the story, it's probably a magic item to keep the consciousness from taking over.

However, I could also imagine that it would not completely prevent the ability to take over consciousness at the same time, but rather the ability to increase the resistance of those who wear it......

In front of Ray's eyes, the man stretches his index finger and touches the hammer, immediately releasing it.

I guess I repeated that several times and finally understood that Ray's words were true. Next, the hand touching the hammer more and more is bolder, not with the fingers, but with the palms, and gripping the patterned part.

"I see. Sounds like a magic item created after a long and complicated process. According to what I've heard, you have two abilities: the ability to emit lightning and the ability to give the user a powerful playback capability? … it would be impossible to make it without being a fairly capable alchemist on either side, but two of them,"

Touch the patterned area, shake it to the hammer area and gently stroke it to check both.

What magic metal is used, in what process this hammer was made, is there anything left like an alchemist's habit in making magic items?

Ray looked a little further away at the Alliance staff going through the details to make sure they didn't miss any of that information.

Then, unexpectedly, a guild clerk man turns his gaze toward Ray.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ray. I'd like to check the area on the ground of this hammer, so could you repeat that?

"Take this?... Well, fine. If it's enough to repeat, we can still do it now."

Nodding, he touches the hammer pattern falling on the ground and lifts it as it is.

(12) Instead of lifting the object, the head part lifts only the patterned part with it on the ground.

Thus, when the part of the pattern was knocked down to the opposite side of the previous one, the part previously touching the soil was exposed to the air.

The guild clerk's man approaches the hammer again as Ray leaves the hammer and begins to examine it.

"I see, the other side and this side are not daring to be symmetrical, is it? It's not normal for someone with the skill to make this many magic items to be symmetrical from left to right. For example, why did you break the conductivity of magic... and that's why you could use both effects in cyclops? Yeah? The distinctive trace when making this hammer a magic item... no, but..."

When I find something, I groan, and that grunt develops my opinions.

It was Ray watching the guild clerk whine like that, but after about twenty minutes, he gets a lot less free time.

Some may be interested if they are the kind of alchemists or blacksmiths, but in Ray's case they are neither.

It was nothing but free time to just look at it this way than it was.

Still, I didn't talk to the guild clerk because I was wondering where this hammer came from.

There's no way that a weapon like Cyclops can be used is rolling around.

For one thing, it's natural to assume that someone made it...

(So you don't usually imitate giving a magic item to a cyclops)

When I think of it that way, I find myself inadvertently stopping a guild clerk man from whining and silently thinking about something.

From whining to thinking, in front of Ray, who was deciding he must have moved to the next stage, the man eventually starts twisting his neck wonderfully.

"What's going on?

The man opens his mouth scratching his head to Ray, who was here and finally spoke.

"Um, right. There seems to be no doubt that it was not so long ago that this hammer was made. It's also made with fairly high technology. But... I really can't think of a reason to give Cyclops the precious magic item that they created that way."

"... Are you sure it was made recently? For example, what could be a ruin somewhere, possibly picking up a magic item that was accidentally falling?

"I don't think that's possible"

I'm surprised Ray has affirmed himself more clearly than he expected, but the man keeps explaining against Ray like that.

"To explain the details to a large number of people because it will be technical, some of the techniques used to make this magic item have been used in recent years… it was also established a few years ago. It's not all like that, but maybe in the last few years... if you do it badly, you're sure it's something made within a few months."

"... where does anyone imitate such a hassle?

Giving Cyclops a magic item is easy to say but hard to actually do it.

Cyclops only sees humans as bait in the first place, and if we get close to the detour... that too would just be eaten if we pulled a giant hammer like the one in front of Ray by any means.

That's it, why give the Cyclops a magic item? And most importantly...

"The cyclops I defeated were rare or superior species, unlike regular cyclops, but that doesn't mean you can use magic items, does it?

"Right. But even normal cyclops are able to emit magic as a shockwave from a single eye. If that were to be a rare or superior species, wouldn't it be surprising to assume that you are naturally good at handling magic?

"That's possible. It's just a possibility. If you're going to give a magic item anyway, you don't have to be a monster who's never as good at handling magic as Cyclops, do you? Then I wouldn't have had to make such a giant hammer."

"... you don't know a bit about that area here. But what bothers me is the fact. Advise the Alliance Master to do a little research. … but you can stop this hammer."

Ray gives a slightly surprising look to the words coming out of the mouth of the guild clerk.

Because he seemed to have a strong interest in this hammer to see it, so I thought he would be a little more obsessed.

I guess I saw that look on Ray's face. The man opens his mouth a little shy.

"Haha. To be honest, I'd like to watch this hammer more closely. But then I'm going to be watching it forever, so I want to stop it around here."

"... ok. So look in the eyes of the real job. Is there any danger to this hammer?

"You're probably honest that you're okay. Perhaps it is my lack of strength that needs to be attached. But if what Ray told you is true, it is likely that the ability to manipulate the owner in this hammer has already vanished. It's just a magic item, because magic, for better or for worse, often has something to do with it."

"I see.... yeah? So, in my case, it's either cursed... or if you try to use a magic item with the ability to manipulate the user, you mean you can destroy that will?

Asking Ray as he noticed, the guild clerk's man opens his eyes as if he had been poked into his mind.

That thought could also be read by Ray, who had not thought about the area at all.

However, the expression immediately poked at me frowned upon.

"Right. It's a good enough possibility, but I personally don't recommend it much. Even if you're calling it a magic item in bulk, some of them are like recently made, and vice versa, some are outrageously old, like the legacy of ancient magic civilization. Especially when it comes to magic items like the legacy of ancient magic civilizations that are willing and take over users."

The words I would say as I looked into Ray's eyes were the ones that would come out because I was seriously worried.

There's also a reason that it's favorable because Cyclops showed us something as rare as the hammer he was using, but above all, what would have fuelled the man's sense of crisis if Ray had also become something that would deprive him of consciousness by magic items?

Only Ray, who specializes in wide-area extermination magic, wouldn't be surprised if the guilds were burned down if he did poorly.

While he managed to hold onto the imagination that his spine would get cold, the guild clerk told Ray not to lay a hand on the magic item that was cursed to the detour.
