Episode 42: The Most Powerful Wise Man, Getting the Sword You Made

Just because it belonged to the King, the treasure trove was quite large and tidy.

But I don't see anything interesting coming from the entrance.

Well, let's see what we can find.

"First, the ingredients of the junction… Anyway, you want something sturdy"

"Sturdy stuff, is it?

"Yes, as long as it's sturdy, it's practically anything"

Permanent junction magic basically reduces the burden on the junction itself by pressing damage to the junction on the core object.

We can also make the main demon stone serve as a nucleus if it is a small one, but if we do that on the scale that surrounds the king's capital, it will destroy all the connections just because it was a little burdensome.

"... To be honest, I don't know which one has the durability Mr. Matthias wants. I know if it's sturdier than Mithril, but when it comes to Orihalcon and Adamantite..."

But unfortunately, the janitor doesn't seem to know exactly which of the items in the treasure trove are sturdy.

There were a lot of non-destructive testing methods that used magic... which, too, probably lost their way with unchanging magic.

"So do you decide to look for something else? The reward was, you can pick whatever you want, right?

"Yes! There are a few exceptions, but basically we say whatever we like."

This is the advance payment, and the original payment is after things have settled, so it's a pretty big deal.

As far as the magic response is concerned, the kind of thing that interests me seems to be solidifying in one place.

I walk to the place and ask the janitor questions.

"Are the things around here included in that exception?

"No. There shouldn't be anything near here that I can't give you. Probably just an artifact of ancient civilization and mythology, because most of them don't even know how to use it."

I see.

Most of the stuff in this compartment is definitely just crap.

I can tell you that there are many magic props that I believe were made by civilizations in previous life, but most of them are toys for children, or magic props to loosen shoulders.

But it contained something that seemed usable.

"What about this sword?

That's what I say. I lift the sword that was placed.

Probably something I made for experimentation in my last life. I don't remember when I made it, but it looks familiar in the magic pattern.

"You're an old sword, excavated from ancient ruins. It does seem sturdy, but I don't really recommend it because it has a bad cut over very heavy. Rather than that, I recommend this sword. It's a very recently discovered sword, but it's a mythical performance. If Lady Mathias doesn't give it to me, there will be a battle over it."

The janitor took out a sword.

The sword also looks familiar - or this is the blacksmith in Bayce, the sword I gave him. At a hell of a botched price, like 1,000 gold coins.

Why is this sword in the treasure trove?

"I just shake it properly and even the stone will cut it, so much so that I have trouble storing it the other way around. This is what demon killer heroes deserve -"

"I don't want that sword. If there's someone else I want, I want that person to use it."

I refuse the suggestion to have Bottacrisode conceded and continue my sword observation.

This sword is a magical sword that requires a lot of magic to activate.

Once activated, this castle or so is a sword that can be wiped out of the map, but it will take about fifty years for my magic to be able to activate this.

It's just that this sword, even as just a substance, has a strength far beyond the Orihalcon - Adamantite alloy.

As the nucleus of the junction, it would be too much.

"Okay. Let's nuke this."

"Sword, is it? The story of Orihalcon..."

"Because this sword is much more sturdy than the Orihalcon"

"Mi, you can tell just by looking at it!?

"There were different ways."

Well, suppose you made it yourself.

I used this type of configuration a lot, so I can see the atmosphere just by looking at it.

I made a lot of similar things, and I don't remember when.

"And I found something interesting. Here's the reward."

As I say, I take out the little pendant that was on the next shelf.

The pendant has a small demonic stone, which contains intricate magic.

"... Also, you've chosen something you don't know how to use... Really, is that okay? There are many other powerful pieces of equipment such as that sword that increase strength when magic is applied..."

"No. I like this"

This pendant was also made by me in my previous life.

When demons and animals are defeated, collecting magic powers that are supposed to diffuse around them has the effect of increasing their abilities by several fold due to experience. Besides, if you're nearby, it works for your people. Besides, it's pretty broad in scope, and if it's the first layer of the labyrinth in the school, it's enough to cover it whole.

For me, wanting to build up my strength as soon as possible, I can call it the ideal demon prop.

In my previous life, my magic and health reached the limit that could be enhanced by experience, so I threw it away for nothing, but I didn't expect it to be useful after rebirth.

"If Master Matthias is okay with that, as far as I'm concerned, I won't object..."

"I have no objection either. Never before has Matthias acted as we expected. I guess I have some ideas this time too. I hope you don't mind breaking the school yard anymore."

"Bye. That's no problem. We have to get ready for the junction production soon, and get back to school!

"What are we going to do with Mithril?

"Mithrill procures at school.... Oh, we talked about not breaking the school yard, but if it's a labyrinth, you can break it, right?

"... Huh?

While we talked about that, we went back to second school.
