My First Trip was to Another World
Appraisal group
I finished the incineration disposal of the goblins and picked up the demon stones from the burn marks.
Fu reminded me that if the combustion temperature was too high, the demon stone would collapse.
If I had tried the highest temperature, I'd have been ashed for sure. I was right to leave it to Luna.
What bothers me is the mysterious ex-demonstrative item (crap) that Sahir gave me. Probably something that was an elf magic trick.
"Luna, what was that arr earlier?
"... I don't know what it's for because it's broken, but it's definitely an elf demon prop"
Yeah. I knew. When it comes to raising Luna's tension so much, that's all we'll have.
"Can you analyze it?
"If you have a few years, you can"
I knew it was on a yearly basis. I thought it would take a while, but that's a little harsh.
"No... that's taking too long. Why did you stick to this?
"Excuse me... it was the first thing I saw, so...
If I were to sell it to the court magician, I'd have it picked up for a few gold coins. "
I see, don't get a giri black. I won't sell it though.
Was it the only thing the Sahirs had that could have been of equal value?
The rest was cheap demon props and real crap. That wasn't a bad deal, was it?
"I'm not going to let you go.
Elf elders might know something, or they could analyze it sooner than planned. "
The analysis predicts and reproduces the magic used from the magic formations and crests carved into the magic props. A broken magic prop means there is a glitch in the magic formation or crest. It's missing or disappearing.
The court magician is able to use it by restoring the missing parts or replacing them with magic formations that have the same effect.
In this case, has it been shredded by the stream of the river or the most important magic formation in the design is about to disappear?
Unknown use, unreadable magic formations, that's a pretty tough condition.
"Hey, is that the elf demon prop? I saw it!
Leeds waves his tail and says. Leeds should also be the first to see a real elf demon prop.
I guess I'm curious as a magician.
"Don't break any more."
I gave Leeds the mysterious former magic item (crap).
It's originally broken, but if it breaks any further, the analysis becomes even more cumbersome.
I don't think it's a cautionary thing, but it's Leeds. I'm somewhat worried.
Flipping over, pinning it on the sun, peeking in from the side, Leeds is busy moving his mysterious magic prop.
Looks like Leeds noticed something in time.
"It's kind of like a smartphone."
Looks like a tablet. It's pretty big because it's about the size of an A4. The iron plate is based, and that part is almost decaying.
The important part is silver. This one is similarly dying out, but it probably had the magic of state protection hanging on it. Relatively good condition.
"Right. They're different sizes, but they look like smartphones."
"No. It's like a smartphone."
When we make magic props, it's Leeds' job to shape them to fit the purpose.
Does that mean that the process of making it is the same as that of a smartphone... They both look like just metal plates to me.
"What do you mean?
"Screen? It comes with something like that. I don't think my voice is functional. How to make it like a transcriber? But something's different."
Apparently, he's guessing the use from the shape of the plate. Leeds is sharp, so you can count on it.
Maybe it's a unique perspective of the maker.
"How do you know that?
"Hmmm...... I don't know.
I only know how to make it, don't I?
That's enough to know. Suppose it's possible...... TV? There's no way.
"What does Luna think?
"Hmmm...... I don't know either. But it was helpful.
Thank you, Mr. Leeds. "
That's the end of the light test. If I take a closer look here, the sun will go down. I can do this before I go to bed at night.
Collect the former magic kit (crap) from Leeds and set off.
We headed for the village of Elf, which was our original purpose.
There was no goblin-like reaction on the road, so we're heading straight to the village. Mamba could have gone hunting, but unfortunately he didn't come out this time.
It appears that the junction stretched out in the village has not yet been repaired, and there is no indication that the junction has expanded in scope. Ask Luna to unravel the line and enter the village.
There was a girl there who looked like a guard. It looks familiar. He was there last time.
"Hey, here we go again. Is the elder here?
"Hih! Ha... Yikes. Wait."
I was going to talk to him as gently as possible, but a girl who looks terribly frightened. I wonder if you're familiar with people.
He ran away with a bummer as he became suspicious of his behavior. Waiting at the entrance to the village. I can't even move on my own, so I'll wait.
"Hmm. That was fast."
I suddenly heard a voice from behind.
Elders approaching without a sign again. I don't know how many more cautions I've taken. Let's give up thinking that's what it is.
But why do you always come out from behind? I would see it if you came from the front even if there were no signs.
"Oh. I was going to free up some time with this.
I brought the promised groceries. Are you ready for the money?
What I brought in was wheat purchased with five gold coins. I want to sell it for ten gold coins if possible. Double the purchase, but it would be reasonable given the hassle of moving.
I moved to the place where I put up my tent last time and put out a bag first. I think maybe 10 kg. All in all, this bag is fifty.
"Um. I've been searching the back of the warehouse for gold coins. I don't know if I can still use it because it's old."
That's what the elder said, putting a few gold coins out of his pocket. Slightly diminished, but regular gold coins. Let me see it for my hand.
The design is a lot different from what it is today. It's about the same size. The colour is... this one has a clearer colour. Heavy, golden.
The gold coins I've seen so far don't seem to be pure gold. Compared to this, it looks a little red and thin in gold.
I guess this gold coin the elders brought is pure gold. The feeling of luxury is different.
"Um... this... is a Kamiyoshi gold coin"
Luna tells me to whine. There doesn't seem to be much of a surprise.
"Can't you use it?
"The other way around.
There is no technology in the kingdom that increases purity so there is a high demand among magicians.
At least ten gold coins in the kingdom… if you hang them on the auction, you'll multiply them "
Could this also be elf technology? When it comes to lost technology in this world, it's mostly elves.
But the auction takes too much effort to redeem. You should quote at the lowest amount.
"Hey, Grandpa. I've got fifty bags of all this wheat. How about an exchange for one of those gold coins?
"Huh...?
The elder opened his mouth and lost his words.
This grandfather was also listening to my conversation with Luna. The wheat might have been overpriced.
What should I do... besides ruby?
"Bad. If you don't like it, I'll put an extra on it."
"No, I'm not. You're too cheap for anything. I'm ready for ten gold coins."
The elder said as he shook his head sideways in momentum.
If anyone asks me about the current exchange and asks for ten gold coins, that's just stupid.
If that's all you're going to get, I'll take care not to be listened to by Luna.
"I was going to sell it for ten gold coins in the kingdom from the start. There's nothing wrong with exchanging for something that's worth it."
Well, there's more to come. I don't know how many pieces you have, but I'll replace all the gold coins in this village with food. You can exchange it for magic prop material.
"If your lords are good with that, we will gladly exchange them. Keep it coming."
Negotiations are in place. You okay in a place like this? I thought, the elders have magic bags.
I switched bags of wheat from our bags to Grandpa's. That's a lot of capacity...... I envy you. Let's rebuild our bags, too.
View the gold coins received. Beautiful golden color. After seeing this, the gold coins of the kingdom look sumptuous.
This gold coin should be able to make it into magic prop material. I wonder why the elves here didn't make magic props out of this.
"By the way, Grandpa. This gold coin will be made of magic props. Why didn't you?
"I can't even do it if I want to. Metal needs magic. There's no one with that skill anymore."
It's about the treatment of taming the metal with magic. They have a special magic prop, but I learned how to do it, so I do it myself.
It wasn't that hard, but you can't if nobody tells you.
The last time I came here, I heard that when the elves in this village fled the country, there seemed to be no technicians already.
"You did. Sorry."
"No, good. There's nothing in the village, but take your time..."
Grandpa seems softly restless. I wonder if I want to go home.
Luna stopped Grandpa, who was about to walk out slowly.
"Wait a minute. There's something you need to see.
Mr. Coe, get that one out. "
Luna prompted me to take out the mysterious former magic item (crap).
It's a worn metal plate. Terrible so far, you wouldn't think that ordinary people would have seen it as a demon prop.
"Hmm... what is this?
Don't you even know this grandfather... Me too, I was wondering if maybe. Too bad.
"An adventurer found something in the woods further south than here.
Probably an elf demon prop, so we gave in. "
They didn't know what this was. Only a magician or court magician would know.
The fact that even the elders were unable to discern at first sight may not be a common magic tool.
"I see...... If you found it in the South Forest, it's probably not soldier's gear. Once upon a time, at the border."
"The border!? So there's an elf country in the back of the woods?
"Not anymore, though. If that place stays the way it was, the Han Empire will take over."
There's no more Han Empire. I mean, I've never heard of anything behind the woods.
Instead of the city or the country, I don't even hear about people living there. Luna and Claire might know something.
"Hey, you know something?
"I don't know"
"No...... never heard of it"
Don't you know Leeds and Luna? I don't expect anything like this from Leeds from the start.
"Looks like someone from the adventurer used to go. He said it was connected across the mountain east of the kingdom.
He said he turned right back because it was dangerous, but you don't know how far it's true. "
Claire seemed to know, and she answered.
That's an adventurer. They're seriously adventurous. I want to be an apprentice, too.
The high mountains east of the kingdom are, in part, called Murum. They say it means a wall you'll never cross. The other side of the wall is naturally an undisclosed land.
I wanted to go sooner or later, but definitely let's go. The ruins of the elves are there.
The next destination is the Kingdom of Milgia. From there into the East Forest. Let's solve this forest problem first.
I almost forgot. I need to ask my elders about 'Uroboros'.
