The wise man returns

Vampire suicides continue into the night.

In the meantime, Balin took his errand boy and wandered around.

“Scouts! There's a Guardian coming out from inside the ruins and we need reinforcements, so please hurry back! ”

“Two scouts! I was urgently told that the Master has found some great artifacts for you to use...”

All the scouts that were scattered around you fell into a trap.

It was because of Balin's consideration to not make you feel strange when you came back from scouting.

Ordinarily, they would have asked for a password or gone through a verification process, but now vampires are trying to skip any of that and get into the ruins.

A dragon's treasure filled with a class S artifact held its own magical power.

Hundreds of thousands of treasures I can control the world with just one!

Unless instructed by a higher vampire, his greed prevailed over everything.

And a top vampire to command them is just a captain. Balin sent him into the tomb first.

After the director disappeared, persuading the rest suddenly became easier. Vampires with free will vanish like moths approaching a flame.

“... Is it over? ”

By the time the work was done, almost dawn, an entire army of 8,000 vampires had disappeared into the ruins.

In the meantime, Balin checks the restoration status of the treasure chest.

Perhaps thanks to your hard work, the spatial distortion spell in the treasure chest was working just fine.

“... Done. ”

At that moment, the relieved Balin heads to the lowest level of the treasure chest.

The first thing I took was the Sky Key.

It was a powerful S-grade artifact, but I wanted to hold it in my hand as soon as possible, as long as it had been used in my previous life.

“It's been a long time, kid. ”

The staff in your hand grunts lightly as you hear its voice.

This may seem natural, but it feels like a welcome greeting to Balin.

A partner who's been on the battlefield for nearly half a century!

I failed in my past life, but this time I wanted to succeed with him.

“Hehe.”

Balin smiles lightly, scouring the treasure vault for others.

The next thing I know, I found a new sword used by my predecessor, Palia! I don't know the name, but Palias was named Hummingbird.

Despite the devastating destructiveness, Balin was determined to honor it and name it Hummingbird again.

“With Palias in hand, Iselyn and Kristel are gone now. ”

There was a difference in the size of the people, so I couldn't choose the same as before.

Balin thinks about the rest of the crew in his head.

First, we need a new weapon for Andropos. Two defensive artifacts to protect Evelyn and Earl Minarva. Plus, Elia, Leven, Sonya, Alberto... this is harder than I thought. ’

With so many options, I was in trouble without even knowing it.

When people saw it, they would say it was a happy concern, but in their immediate minds, hell was no different.

‘Do I have to choose this or that? Some I think would be good, some...’

Despite his troubles, Balin's steps do not stop.

First of all, there are a few artifacts that need to be taken with you in mind.

Soon, an artifact like a big sword and a round ring began to pile up in one corner.

They began to put out selected artifacts for each person.

‘The 10 allowances Katua mentioned! A lot is a lot, but not when you think about the people you're gonna give it to! Let's choose carefully.’

There was no need to cling to this place as long as there was a corpse of Sil-Lenon anyway.

The artifact is enormous, but there's no reason to rely on it.

“Hmm…”

Balin discarded the idea of taking a staff for Alberto.

“I'll turn him into the corpse of Sil-Lenon. If you don't like it, you can somehow get to the Diamond Tower. ”

Looking at the artifact according to the number of people, the ten limitations seemed too small.

“Let's see...”

Combat artifacts and supporter artifacts fill up quickly, but the problem is the creator. It was an artifact for Elia.

No matter how much I looked around, there was nothing to give her. However, pride did not allow for the simple artifact of protection magic.

‘I can put a protection spell on it myself, so you have to make the requirements for the best crafting... Where are the artifacts that can manipulate the ether?' ’

What I want most is also the top compatible artifact of the magician.

Of course, it will eventually become Elia's, but Valine had something to do with it before.

The corpses of Dragonheart and Sil-Lenon! You can't use a magician to process it. I wish I had something stronger… ’

Balin scratches his head in frustration.

He turns about a dozen treasure vaults, but he doesn't see what he wants.

I thought he was lucky enough to get rid of the vampires, but his luck is running out here.

It was an absolute coincidence that a ring appeared in Balin's eyes.

“... What the hell, that. ”

It seemed like a normal gold ring, but the color of the jewel was very gray and gray.

I don't feel any energy just because it's a treasure or artifact.

“Is this an artifact with Dark Mana? ”

Curious Balin breathes Mana in. However, if there is a Mana of Darkness, there is no reaction to the party.

“... What the hell. ”

A curious elasticity, Balin lifts it up and tucks it into her fingers.

The next moment, he hears a huge number of voices in his head.

- Ah, the body. I can move my arms and legs!!

- Be ours! So that our dreams will never come true...!

- It's a new body! And now you're gonna tell me I'm Bronx Bear Bronze...

Crowded crowds of thousands of people converge in one place.

I felt dizzy listening to it even though it didn't work.

“... possessed by an evil spirit. I'm confused, but what the...”

Balin tries to pull it out quietly. Then the voices said in a puzzled tone.

What's going on?

- Why is this man healthy? No one can escape our control!

“Of course you are. I don't know about you guys, but I'm immune to all psychological attacks. ”

Perhaps the one who touched this ring was Balin who answered kindly from the last day.

As soon as he empowers his hands again, dozens of voices start shouting in unison.

Don't pull it out!

- Please let me continue with my masterpiece! I beg you, lotus!

The screams of the souls were eager, but Valine answered with a dry answer and tried to pull the ring out.

Help me! We are the spirits of blacksmiths! It's not evil, it's just a bunch of work that I can't make that I can't remember, and it's flowing in here!

The moment I heard the answer, my moving hand stopped. Balin looks surprised and asks.

“The spirits of a blacksmith? Tell me in more detail. ”

* * *

A thousand years ago, 2,000 years ago, there was no world without them.

Producers. They've been building something since ancient times, and they've developed that technology.

Since He created the world for Layan, who created all things, perhaps the genealogy of the creators has continued from the beginning of the world.

However, the peak of that civilization was the era of dragons.

When dragons were worshipped like gods, their magic met their makers' skills and became increasingly powerful.

These spirits were the best masters of their time.

Everyone's life was different, but they had a common sense of wanting to make more.

So it was this Spirit Ring that was made.

Made in the early days of dragons, this ring sucked the best smiths in the world.

Of course it is not compulsory. I gave everyone the right to choose whether to be a saint or remain here and make a work.

Ghosts with more desire than the desire to rest accepted the offer.

Dozens of the finest masters from all over the world came into the ring.

This was good enough. The problem was that the dragons with the ring were blind.

‘A ring of blacksmiths gathered with pure lust... Dangerous but very interesting. Work for me.' ’

As a blacksmith, it was welcome. I had no reason not to go because they gave me the body to move, the materials and the facilities to make.

For hundreds of years. Then they move on to defeat the Demon King.

‘Keep it in the treasure chest for a while. Think of it as a vacation for the time being, it'll be over soon. ’

The dragon said so and did not come for a thousand years. Many who could not endure eternal holidays went mad.

Few blacksmiths remain sane! Talking to Balin now was one of them.

- I've suffered for a thousand years. Because of that grudge, even the gem that was supposed to be orange was washed off in cloudy gray white! If we wait any longer, we will all go mad and be wandering around here forever. I'm going to apologize for what happened back there. Please. Get us out there and make something!

The voice of a ghost screaming desperately! If he were alive, I could see the longing for blood.

Balin nods lightly. This was exactly what he was looking for.

A set of spirits from a blacksmith with ancient artifact knowledge! A gift like this will never be found again.

‘Elijah is talented, but not a good teacher. I'm not specialized in artifact making. These guys are gonna be able to... no, they're gonna fill that up perfectly! ’

There was no perfect artifact, but there was only one unfortunate part.

It's the principle of blacksmiths! A noble soul must possess unique abilities. If it were anyone else, I would have lost my body just now.

Balin points it out to the spirits.

“It's all good, but if you use it, you'll take it away, right? Even if it's someone else. But how can I trust you and help you? Think about it. Can you live with a thief who's after your house? ”

The spirit couldn't refute it because it was all true.

“Taking a man's soul and taking his place in creating artifacts, as long as that doesn't get fixed...”

- I won't do it again. I swear to God. Please! Please help us! Not here!

The voice of the spirit speeds up. Thinking that the barely found hand of salvation will disappear, the emotion intensifies.

“That doesn't prove anything, does it? ”

- You may impose any restriction! The rest of us would never do that. I swear! Please... please... please...

Other voices also cried in unison in response to the ghosts that could not speak.

It must have been hard for a thousand years. Balin lightly clenched his tongue and said.

“Okay, I'm not relieved, so if I see any sign of that, I'll take you to another ruin right away. It's where the graves of the dead dragons gather, so maybe we should keep going until the end of the world. ”

- Dragon Tomb!!!

The frightening stories made the spirits jump together.

At the end of the world, words were practically locked up forever.

- Don't worry, these guys will come around sooner or later if they can make artifacts. If you give it to me at that time, I won't be playing tricks on you. Like I said, these guys are left to make artifacts.

A ghost answering in haste.

In front of him, Valine smiled and said one more thing.

“Okay, and one more thing. You guys are familiar with the artifacts in this treasure chest, right? ”

- Artifacts? We came in with them when they first came in, so we remember a little bit of where they were.

“There you go. A guide to the treasure chest in the conditions mentioned above. If that's all you need, I'll give you a good man. What do you think?”

If you refuse here, it will be treasured and stored again. The spirits crazily expressed their willingness to accept.

Thank you for reading. Third and final part of the day.

Yesterday, I suppose. I went to the dentist, and I was in a little bit of a pinch.

Anyway, it's done! Today's side.

Maybe until it's settled.

Well, good luck tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! We would appreciate one recommendation before you go.
