Episode 48. Bahat’s Warehouse And New Goals
“Two… …You mean you made it?”
I nodded at Bahat’s words.
Of course, it seemed like a mere exclamation, not really meant to ask.
He got up from his seat and slowly approached me and took the potion I made.
“How amazing. It wasn’t even a long time. But in the meantime, making two types of potions.”
He looked at the potion he took out and said with an expression that he had a rough idea of something.
“This must have removed the side effects of the Dillon Potion.”
“you’re right.”
Hearing my answer, Bahat poured the potion into his mouth at once as before.
He frowned for a moment, savoring the taste, then nodded.
“I will admit it. haha. It’s really amazing.”
Shaking his head, Bahat looked at the potion bottle in his hand once again and laughed.
And soon, he gave me an angry look.
“If you made two, it must mean that you have already completed one, but you came to me on the last day of this year. okay. Did you draw the mulberry properly with my card?”
“Thanks to this, I was able to concentrate on my research without worrying about money. thank you.”
“her! Shameless guy.”
Contrary to what he said, he responded with a pleasant expression and accepted the card I handed out.
“okay. First of all, since I won the bet, I should give you a reward first.”
Then, he began arranging mana, as if he was trying to use space movement magic.
Then an amazing thing happened.
‘see.’
The flow of mana began to be faintly visible.
It was thanks to the ‘mana’ talent that I got while evolving this time.
It seems that the dual core, which was an epic characteristic, disappeared and was related to the ‘bowl’ characteristic that took its place.
The unique characteristic that I have never seen before, ‘Bowl’, was a trait that literally turned the entire body into a vessel that could contain mana.
Thanks to that, I was now in a state where the boundary between my heart and my Danjeon disappeared and I could use my entire body as a mana storage.
‘Now, both magic and sword can be used with the same mana.’
At first glance, it may not seem like a big deal, but it was a pretty big difference.
In the first place, there was a limit to the amount of mana that could be drawn with Salem’s magic, but now there was no need for that.
As I was immersed in thought while watching Bahat’s magic, the spell was completed with the mana that had been arranged, and space movement magic was used soon after.
‘Bahat’s magic related to space was an original magic passed down only in the Alven family.’
As his mana talent grew, he seemed to be able to copy the magic unfolding in front of him.
In fact, it was a talent that the first playable character also had, but feeling it only in the game and feeling it directly in reality were on a different level.
It must be said that the deceitfulness is conspicuous.
‘The fact that I almost died with a special skill became the basis for my fraudulent growth.’
Perhaps all of this was possible because he wielded great power, even temporarily, with his special skill, sloth.
Of course, if it wasn’t for the evolution trait, it would have been a joke.
While thinking, the place was moved to what appeared to be a warehouse.
In this place, not unlike Bahat’s office, there were all sorts of junk, but at least it looked a little tidy.
“Our bet was that if we made a new potion, we would randomly give one of my favorite items. Just because you made two, I have no obligation to give you two. However, since the effort must be rewarded, I will specially choose the items for you.”
“thank you.”
To be honest, I was expecting a little bit and showed both of them, but like Bahat, who has an impromptu personality, he made a big proposal.
Perhaps he made this suggestion because he thought I was blind to things.
But what can I do? I could see the item.
[Knakt’s Cursed Music Box]
[When it plays, music containing magical power comes out.]
[The longer you listen, the more helpless you become.]
You can see it too.
By the way, there were a lot of useless things on the subject of cherished things.
I was about to be a little disappointed, but I finally found the right thing.
[Mitra’s pocket watch]
[Mana storage function 0/500]
It doesn’t sound like much, but it was a very useful item.
Still, this doesn’t fill the castle.
It is none other than Bahat’s warehouse.
One of the continent’s strongest wizards, it was perfect to be teased if you picked something like this from his warehouse.
‘Too much is also a headache.’
In the warehouse, good and bad things were mixed up in a jumbled mess, as if only things were gathered without thinking, so I had no choice but to check them one by one.
Bahat’s warehouse had never been in the game, so it was an inevitable choice.
‘This….’
Then, while digging through a pile of things, I found something.
I picked up the item I found.
[Sealed sword―Galacsur]
[73% mana conductivity]
[It is sealed.]
It was a shabby sword with a scabbard.
And unlike this shabby appearance, I already knew that it was one of the named items.
‘An item I’ve only heard of in the game.’
I wish I could have been in a place like this
I don’t know how Bahat possessed this sword, but my heart was half inclined to this sword.
Bahat, who was watching the way I was choosing, approached me with a smirk.
“Is your guy a wizard choosing something like that?”
“Recently, I have become more interested in swords. Because accidents often happen… ….”
When I said that I would choose Galaksur, he didn’t like it and headed to a corner of the storage room.
Then he brought something, a magician’s robe and a long staff.
“I’d rather pick one out of these. If I choose something like that, it doesn’t feel like my heart gave it to me.”
The items he presented were also great items.
Anyway, unlike his behavior, he had a weak heart.
‘Looking at that personality, he probably feels guilty towards his father.’
So you must have made a bet.
In fact, I don’t know if I would have been expelled if I lost, but the condition itself was much more detrimental to Bahat.
But this is this and that is that.
“I will just use this sword.”
“Do you know what it is? It might be better to entrust the sword to a famous blacksmith.”
“it’s okay. I really liked this, so I chose it. Regrets are also my share.”
He shook his head sadly and threw away the things he was holding in his hands.
Then, he pointed to the Galaksur I was holding and began to explain.
“It’s something I got when I was young. It looks shabby, but I got it from an unnamed dungeon in the Shaiya Desert. It won’t be ordinary as it’s something I got from a place like that.”
The Shaiya Desert was one of the many demonic landscapes that existed on the continent.
The harsh climate and weather for humans to survive, and the occasional mana anomaly, made it a rough terrain that ordinary people could not even set foot on.
A dungeon found in such a demonic realm would not be an ordinary dungeon.
‘Well, I guess I’ll be able to find Galaksur only at that level.’
Galaksur was a sword obtained by accident in a quest in the game.
At the time, I tried to search here and there to find one, but in the end, I couldn’t find any clues except for the information about the performance of the sword.
But I didn’t expect to get it this way.
It was nice that Nickel could use it even if it wasn’t me.
Along with the sword I was wearing, I tied Galaksur around my waist.
Although it was old, I liked it even more because it looked like it was noble rather than ugly.
“Tsk. If you’ve made up your mind with that, there’s nothing more to say. Instead, don’t ask me to come back later and change it.”
“yes.”
Judging from what he said, Bahat probably didn’t know the identity of Galaksur.
Rather, if he learns the identity of this sword later, he will hit the ground and regret it.
‘I know roughly how to break the seal. I just couldn’t find the sword back then.’
Of course, the way to break the seal was tricky.
However, the expected value of Galaksur was high enough to break the seal even at the cost of him.
After choosing the items, Bahat returned to the office using magic again.
“Your business is over now. I will keep an eye on you.”
“yes. Tower Lord.”
“Take this before you go.”
What Bahat handed over was a sealed letter.
“What is this?”
“A letter was sent to you as well, but you were in a coma, so I took care of the work for you.”
“I was called to the Nongonghaengsang.”
“okay.”
What the hell did you call me?
For now, it will be written in the letter, so I decided to read it later.
When I received the letter and put it in my arms, Bahat, who had been watching it quietly, opened his mouth.
“What are you planning to do during vacation?”
What the hell are you so curious about?
His attitude was a little strange today.
It’s like I’m restless, as if I’m in debt.
“I’m thinking of going on a trip to catch my breath.”
“is it. It’s a travel trip… ….”
Why are you thinking so hard all of a sudden?
My business is over, so I want to leave soon.
Bahat suddenly brought a pen and paper with magic and started scribbling something.
Then, after endowing the scribbled paper with an unknown magic, he handed it to me.
“Now that you have received the sword, you should learn swordsmanship enough to protect yourself. I don’t know if you’ll be able to go, but I recorded the location with magic. Go to the place written there and hand the paper to the old man who lives there. If you know that I sent it, you’ll be bothered, but I’ll teach you a few tricks.”
I quietly lowered my head and looked at what was written on the paper.
And his face had to harden.
‘Deshrun Fallon!’
The most seasoned swordsman among the Aura Masters living in the present age.
It has already been over 50 years since he became an Aura Master, so it could be said that he was the oldest among the living Aura Masters.
‘And it has something to do with Lewis.’
The first playable character, Louis.
It was Deshurn who briefly taught Louis about swordsmanship.
Of course, it’s a setting that it was just a simple pastime, not thinking and teaching as a disciple.
It was as if Bahat had personally written a letter of introduction to such a person.
Besides, seeing the place where Deshurn was staying reminded me of something that should be nearby.
‘Should I call it an object?’
It’s a little vague to call it an object, but one thing’s for sure, it was something that would be of great help in improving power.
I wish I could get it as I go.
I had a plan to find a named class item during the vacation, but I felt like I had to change my plan.
‘I got Galaksur unexpectedly anyway.’
It was a sword that he was originally looking for, so he was not in a hurry right away once he obtained Galaksur.
Of course, the more named items, the better, the better, but it didn’t matter because the items didn’t run away right away.
“Go now.”
“thank you.”
It’s rather unsettling that you do so well that you feel like you’re overdoing it.
I don’t know what the hell Bahat is thinking.
‘Good is good.’
Thanks to you, I will become stronger.
I had Nickel, my swordsmanship teacher, but Nickel and Deshurn had no choice but to be different.
In the first place, the period of being an Aura Master was different.
‘Time is wasted.’
I had to find something on the way and find Deshurn as soon as possible.
