110.
When a tiger dies, it leaves behind its skin, and when a pet dies, it leaves an essence. Often referred to as heritage, this object made mankind a little more daring.
It was because the dead summoned animal was resurrected with this object. Life coins are unlimited, who would hesitate?
But to that extent, this essence was considered more precious than the life of any other person. If there is an essence and heritage, it is even more so because a talented person can inherit a summoned beast.
“Ugh- why do we have to do this?”
“Since I sent Noah, the others will be coming soon.”
“So! Someone will be here soon, so why are you doing this!”
Like a rich lady whining that she doesn’t know why she’s doing the hard work, Shira muttered that she didn’t know why they should find the essence as they rummaged through the remains of the undead.
understand it It wasn’t my summons either, and my masters would come to find them anyway, and they would dig through their nails to find the essence of my summons.
So, it just seemed meaningless to do this now.
“Image Management.”
“… Image management?”
“Yes, I am managing the image.”
But seeing people doing things that seemed meaningless, people were bound to be very interested.
Especially if it’s a foolish thing to help someone who doesn’t seem to be of much help to you.
“People try to be nice to people who look good.”
“… why?”
“Whether it’s cheating or you think you’ll help yourself later. It will be beneficial to you in one way or another.”
If Ian showed good looks, people were more likely to judge him based on his appearance alone.
This is what others often call hypocrisy.
“By the way, I saw them catching boss mobs earlier, but they still haven’t come, what are they doing?”
“Summoner-!”
It was said that even a tiger would come when I said it, and from afar, Empress was flying away, even using magic.
She, who flew through the air like a high-speed travel plane, made a sudden stop in front of Ian, creating wind pressure.
Ian grabbed my fluttering bangs and glared at her.
“… What’s going on?”
“Look at this!”
Saying so, she lifted up the staff I had flew on. It originally had nothing on the tip, and thus it was a solid wooden cane.
Now, at the end of it was the first red gem I had ever seen. Something too precious to be a jewel.
“Voila! I put what I picked up over there and it turned out like this!”
“… Did you pick it up over there?”
Ian looked in the direction Empress was pointing. The place where Death Lord Rastie died, that is, the item that was attached to the tip of her staff was a drop item dropped by Lasti.
“Give it up.”
“why! It’s mine!”
“Noisy. Why is that yours?”
Empress desperately resisted to keep his belongings from being taken away, but the summoner could not refuse the summoner’s orders.
In the end, Empress, who had my belongings taken away, began to weep like a child whose toys were taken away.
Ian paid no attention to her appearance and focused on her wand. Exactly at the end of it.
‘this… .’
[Essence of La-S-Ti]
The essence of the Death King and Deathlord Rasti.
‘Is it just Japtem?’
“Give it up!”
Ian gently returned the wand to Empress’s hand, thinking about the object on the tip of her wand.
An achievement item given when you catch a boss monster in the game. A useless garbage item that is only used to certify that you have captured a boss monster.
However, that was the story of the game.
‘bug… Am I?’
Items that are completely useless in the game, and half of the ceremonial dress that cannot exist in the game.
The exception that became a reality and the japtem met and became a bug.
It was the first time they met since they fell into another world, and it was an unusual situation.
* * *
“So, what’s different about that wand?”
“It’s different, a lot.”
Empress said so, and explained the object attached to the tip of the wand. This is an essence that only long-lived demons have, and it contains all the magical powers of demons who have lived for hundreds of years… … .
Entering into a professional and complex story, Ian quickly lost interest and entered the practical part.
“How strong are you?”
“What-!? This isn’t something that simply ends with getting stronger!”
Empress was reluctant to answer, saying that strength is not something that can be defined in that way.
But, isn’t it the shame that the most important thing to modern people is? Even if you don’t understand it when you say it’s a big and pretty house, modern people say it’s a good house when you say it’s a 10 billion dollar mansion.
“After all, isn’t the rite used to be strong?”
“… Even if there are roughly ten people, I can win.”
“That’s great.”
“Is not it?”
After hearing the detailed explanation, Ian smiled brightly and praised her.
“Well done.”
“… So, can I have this?”
“then. It was originally yours.”
Empress, who had received official permission from Ian, embraced the wand as if she would never lose it again and rejoiced greatly.
I thought it would be so good, but when I think about the meaning of exclusive craftsmanship to summons… .
‘Well, compared to Anna and Theresia… .’
The two of them, who had received exclusive formalities, even swore that they would cherish Ian for the rest of their lives.
If you think about it, it was strange that Empress was just happy.
Perhaps Ian didn’t hand over the finished product, but I guessed that it was because she caused a bug.
Boom, boom!
“aan!”
“Ah, here it is.”
Belatedly, Noah came to the battlefield with the men. Ian straightened his back and thought that he would be freed from this disgusting labor.
* * *
The emperor looked at Ian, who was sitting in front of him, with a puzzled expression. His expression and attitude were too arrogant to be called in front of the emperor, but… The emperor didn’t even point it out to him.
“I was giving orders—but I didn’t believe it was actually possible.”
Looking at Ian, who had solved the problem in just an hour, the emperor thought about how he could have done that.
Perhaps, that is what a warrior is.
When anyone says it’s impossible, he who overcomes hardship and adversity alone and holds on to the possibility.
“If I had known it would be this easy… From now on, it would be better to just call you on all matters.”
“You don’t have to. His Majesty the Emperor.”
Ian, who had been praised too much, smiled lightly and looked at the emperor. You’re going to call yourself whenever something happens?
He wasn’t even an errand center employee, and whenever there was a problem, he couldn’t solve it on his own.
Humans already had enough strength, and even if they lacked it, they needed to develop their own strength.
“No, not even like that.”
“Hmm- why? In fact, didn’t you accomplish your mission splendidly this time as well?”
“So it is.”
Looking at the emperor tilting his head, Ian explained the reason why he shouldn’t use himself as he pleases.
Apparently, the invisible dagger was the sharpest law. The Joker has to be hidden to show its greatest power.
“Who do you think received the most attention from this work?”
“Hey Ian you… .”
“Unfortunately not.”
Even though Ian dared to cut off the emperor’s words, he calmly continued what he had to say.
“The first priority is Artia, the emperor’s summons, and next is Ifrit, the summoned beast of the Duke of Iritz. I can’t even get into third place.”
“… After hearing that, you didn’t really do anything, did you?”
“Yes. That’s right.”
As a hero, I thought he was a great person, but if I think about it carefully, there was nothing special about what Ian did.
After everyone realized what he could do like Ian, Ian just did it before anyone else.
Of course, that alone was enough to call him a hero, but… The emperor was not very fond of it.
“So it’s better to hide.”
Ian took it out without hesitation of telling him to hide his ball. That part made me look at him as if wondering.
Isn’t it natural for humans to seek and wish for the ball? In fact, until a few days ago, Ian even ran around frantically as if he wanted the ball.
Rather than changing people overnight, it was clear that there was a different mindset behind it.
“What do you mean?”
“There is no such thing.”
“People have changed. Were you satisfied with the title of marquis? He didn’t look like that.”
The only difference between Ian a few months ago and Ian now is the title of marquis. there was only one
According to the cesarean studies, people want to be recognized after they have accumulated enough wealth, but Ian is also like that.
The emperor nodded, looking at Ian, who was united in resonance.
“Anyway, it’s good. If you say so- I will make that wish come true too.”
There was no one in power who would refuse to ask for more balls or to hide them.
The emperor had the power to grant Ian’s request. Ian expressed his gratitude and asked him to hide the fact that he was even here as much as possible.
It could have been enough. The emperor even destroyed the record of him and his companions, Stella and Shiira, on the spot.
“thank you. your majesty.”
After giving thanks to the emperor, Ian came out of the tent as naturally as flowing water.
And he breathed a sigh of relief.
‘Lasty’s essence didn’t get caught.’
hahaha, the Empress, who was a four-star summoned animal and traveled with the first emperor, was the first thing he had ever seen in his life.
It was reasonable not to even know that it existed.
