#260
260. Requiem (6)
I opened my eyes.
An inorganic metal room. It was my accommodation, located on the 4th floor of the waiting room.
Iron bed and wardrobe, desk and chair. On the left side of the room, there is a large display stand for statues. The shelves on the 8th floor are almost full. I guess I’ll have to ask the carpenter to make a new display case.
After removing the armor, I spread the items hidden in the safe on the floor.
El Cid’s twin swords, Colada, Tisona, Wolf Fur Cloak, and even the Book of Reversal.
I crouched down and flipped through the Book of Reverse Heaven.
‘Master key of server 1?’
To fix the problem, they say you have to go to server 1.
So no matter what I do here… … that the outcome is predetermined.
‘The destruction of Taone.’
Fortunately, there is still plenty of time.
Amkenna only climbed to the 60th floor.
It won’t be too late even if you try to make a decision as far as you can.
[Hiccup!]
I crouched down and looked up.
A red-faced Isel was wandering around the room.
It looked like he had been drinking quite a bit. The flapping of the wings was unsettling.
[Loki… … It’s awesome.]
Isel murmured in an incoherent tone.
“If you’re tired, go in and sleep.”
[Up to ranking 1st place… … I mean, I won.]
bullshit again.
didn’t win
I’ve never had a good fight.
What if Tell hadn’t intervened?
There may have been a fierce battle between Niflheim and Dorado.
Of course, the result would have been the same. Because he had no intention of fighting in the first place.
I would have fought moderately and pretended not to win.
I got a fever when I thought about it.
‘I don’t like this.’
clap.
I pulled my sword from the scabbard on the floor.
A pure white blade reminiscent of a single bolt of lightning.
It was a masterpiece comparable to Niflheim’s 5 new machines.
[Gulp, gulp… … .]
Next, the Wolf Fur Cloak.
As a result of the scan, there was no special ability except for high durability and warmth.
It just seemed like a symbolic item that meant El Cid.
[Puha!]
Issel lifted the empty vial up.
“What are you doing?”
[Hangover cure!]
The drug seems to work well.
Issel flew towards me with more normal movements.
[Loki, what were you doing outside? There is no response even if I contact them.]
“I was looking into El Cid. There were a lot of suspicious things.”
I briefed Isel about the battle with El Cid.
Issel tilted her head and inspected the loot lined up on the floor.
[So, is this El Cid’s thing?]
“Yes. I was lucky enough to bring it.”
[Ohhhh… … .]
Issel picked up a book the size of her height and began to leaf through the pages.
Then, his hands trembled as if he had been electrocuted, and he threw down the Book of Reversal.
[Nuaat!]
“what’s the matter?”
[That, the interference power is amazing. It’s almost crystal-like.]
I didn’t have any problems reading it.
Isel also turned his eyes to the twin swords lying next to him.
[These items are also very good! It will be at least SS grade.]
“Well, it might be difficult to use.”
If the dual swords had versatility, it would have been okay to give them to a guy like Belquist.
However, this weapon was an exclusive item for El Cid, and could only be exercised in his hand.
And, even if it is available, I have Bifrost.
[Are you going to keep it like this?]
“I was going to change it anyway.”
Whoops.
I put the Book of Reverse Heaven back into the safe.
Then, after inserting the twin swords into his waist, he threw the cloak over his shoulders and opened the door.
“Follow me.”
There is still time until morning.
It would take at least five or six hours for the staff at the Item Factory to go to work.
The durability of the wolf fur cloak is bizarrely excellent.
If you handled it well, you could block even swords, arrows, and bullets.
And Colada and Tissona.
The two swords were endowed with the highest level of magic.
It would be difficult to use the metal material as it is, but it would be possible if it was simply to transfer the magic formula.
Of course, there will be some degree of deterioration, but it is better than keeping it enshrined like a shrine.
‘Item synthesis.’
Now, the production facilities here are also quite good.
If Isel supports me well, I’ll be able to create a usable level item.
Of course, there was one more person he needed besides Isel.
I arrived in front of a certain door at the end of the hallway where the lights were off.
“Are you sleeping?”
smart.
No reaction.
Well, because time is time.
I opened the door and entered.
“Um… nah…”
I put Katio, who had fallen asleep on the bed, on my left shoulder.
“……omg?!”
At that moment, Katio’s eyes flashed open.
“What, what, Han! What time is it now…”
“Don’t make noise. Wake up the others. I have a favor to ask of you.”
“Sleeping in my room for the first time in a week! Please!”
was that enough
Katio on my shoulder was half crying.
“Can I ask you during the day?”
“Now or never.”
“but…….”
“I’ll skip work in the morning.”
“Do you know how many times I’ve been fooled by that word?”
“It’s real this time. You can believe it.”
There is no one to ask but Katio.
This guy’s skills were amazing beyond my imagination.
He created an airship with maximum performance with minimal materials, and the airship produced in this way never had a single minor malfunction. In addition, management and maintenance are perfect. Excellent basic combat power and versatile support magic. There is even a high-level enchantment skill.
‘That should be quite usable.’
Originally, it wasn’t just that I was overworked in the waiting room.
The more you roll it, the more it tastes, but you can’t leave it alone.
“Lie! It’s a lie! Let go of this! Send it back! I want to sleep… yup!”
I took Katio with him wrapped around him.
Upon entering the Item Factory, Katio finally became quiet as if he had given up.
“……What do you want me to ask you?”
Did you just feel like doing it?
I set Katio down on the floor.
This is the Enchantment Room, one of the lower facilities of the Item Factory.
It was a place where various enchantments could be given to finished equipment. The enchantment room originally belonged to the magic hall, but as the facility level increased and was integrated, the location changed.
“It’s simple for you to do.”
I put down the colada, the teasona, and the wolf fur cape.
A large purple magic circle was drawn on the floor.
“You just have to transfer the magic imprints on these twin swords to the cloak.”
“You want me to move the enchantment?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, it’s not difficult.”
Katio walked up to the item with kneeling steps.
“Let’s see, the spell…”
Faint magic spread from Katio’s hand.
and… … In less than 10 seconds, the guy’s face turned blue.
“……what is this.”
Katio looked up at me with hard eyes.
“Where did you get this thing?”
“Compassion and honor.”
“This…isn’t magic created by humans…the magical patterns…are completely different…”
Katio started muttering an incomprehensible sound.
“So can I or can’t I?”
“Can you do it!”
“You don’t have to move all of them. It’s okay if only half succeed.
“Not even half of it! I can’t even touch it! If you’re like me, can you handle the magic that aliens use! Security is in place in the first place…”
“Don’t worry about that.”
I snapped my fingers.
Isel spun once, and star dust spread out.
[Start crafting equipment!]
A familiar hologram window came to mind.
I called up the menu at the bottom and touched the button in the middle.
[You have selected ‘Item Combination’!]
[You can create equipment with new performance by synthesizing different types of items. Item synthesis requires a magician in charge, and results vary depending on the process. Be careful!]
[Tips/ When compositing manually, you can improve the level of completion with a mini game.]
“what are you doing?”
Katio tilted his head.
but. This holographic window is invisible to normal heroes.
I shrugged.
“I can release security. Is that okay?”
If you solve the puzzle properly, you can offset that kind of penalty.
“I guess I’ll have to try that…”
“I won’t say no. Even if I fail, I won’t say anything, so please do me a favor. I’ll pay you back later.”
“……It’s completely coercive.”
Katio grumbled, but began to scan the item with the magic wave.
It must be that you have a mind to do it.
There were two conditions I placed on Katio.
The first is not to be noticed by others when enchanting.
In other words, this guy has to come here every morning and work.
The second condition was to leave the original.
“Well, I set up such a troublesome condition. Even if I just do it, it won’t be enough…”
Katio let out a deep sigh and put both hands towards the sword.
‘Something… … I’ll have to do it.’
I was conscientiously pampering myself too much.
Medieval slaves wouldn’t roll like this.
Anyway, the reward is after the operation is successful.
I adjusted the crafting window floating in front of me.
Switch to Manual Composite and choose a puzzle difficulty.
‘Issel must be busy for a while.’
You have to manipulate the game log to avoid being noticed by Amkena.
I brushed my hands off. It had been a long time since I had played puzzles, but the senses were still at my fingertips.
Whoa. I sighed lightly.
‘The legacy of the Golden Land?’
I snorted inwardly.
It seems like a useful item, so I’ll use it, but I didn’t say I’d go to the 1st server.
will stay on earth Or will you stay here and continue your high school? The choice is always with me. That’s what Sizel clearly mentioned.
‘I don’t know if that’s possible.’
In the first place, I never chose to fall here.
That’s why now, no matter what the choice was, it didn’t touch me at all.
All I can do now is do what I can.
[Puzzle Ready!]
I raised my right hand.
* * *
“Ttukbaegi oriental medicine.”
The woman clicked her tongue lightly.
“Master’s name, isn’t it too old-fashioned? It’s disgusting.
“Yes, second sister. I think so too.”
“Tell Master to use a nickname change ticket. Revealing Master’s name every time you kill a child is so disgusting that he vomits out.”
dark room.
A high-pitched laugh rang out.
“Amkena…how is it…”
“It’s the same with Amkena. It looks like it was built haphazardly. Rather, earthen pot oriental medicine is better, right?”
“Yes, sister.”
A dark and spacious room.
A video was playing on the hologram in the middle of the room.
In the video, a man wearing dark red lightning was struggling.
“Hwiyu, it’s cool. That’s Tae 1 star. He graduated from Niflheim’s training course at the top of his class, and overall won the Raid Festa. He broke through a high-difficulty mission by himself. He’s a complete super elite.”
“Only then… It’s rewarding…”
“That’s right. Only then will hunting be worthwhile.”
The woman threw what she was holding in her hand.
It rolled across the floor and crashed into a wall.
The object was the head of a man with his eyes wide open.
“The largest guild on server 2. What was its name?”
“It’s Liberty, sister.”
“Ah, that’s right. There. It wasn’t a joke. It was boring. The kids who were condescending, they picked off their heads a few times, so they broke them on their own. Things like garbage.”
Curry.
Another high-pitched laugh rang out.
“Why did you interrupt?”
The woman muttered in a low voice.
It was a voice devoid of any emotion, as if the entire room was covered with ice.
“If it wasn’t for that Liberty thing, El Cid’s head was ours.”
“If I had time to prepare… if I had… the obstruction… annihilated…”
“If you were going to give me the Book of Reversal, you should have told me in advance. Thanks to that, you went right away without makeup.”
“Reward… the stray cat… stole it…”
The woman got up from her seat.
Video was still playing on the room’s hologram.
“How funny it must have been, how he would go around exposing his hero’s battle footage.”
“fool…….”
“Stealing other people’s things like a gentleman.”
“idiot…….”
“then.”
The woman walked to the corner of the room.
And a sinister smile appeared on his lips.
“You’ll have to pay for it.”
The woman stepped on the man’s severed head.
Dismissed! Fragments of the crushed head flew in all directions.
