Chapter 23
23 – Legacy(3)
‘found!!’
Where I shined the light, a cross about the length of a little finger was carved into the cave floor in thin intaglios.
And the location is exquisitely located at the boundary between the wall and the floor, so it is really hard to find unless you know it and find it.
With trembling hands, I took out a bottle of holy water from my chest and carefully poured it on the cross.
Kugugugugung-
After a while, as the droplets of holy water touched, a bright light began to spread from the cross.
Then, the bottom of the cave with the cross carved into it rose up in the shape of a large square.
In the game, it was a place where you had to inject holy power to open it, so I wondered if it would be possible to replace it with holy water that contains holy power, but fortunately, my prediction seems to have come true.
There was an empty space at the bottom of the raised floor, and when I bent over, I could see that it contained two large wooden boxes.
Barely calming my heart, which was now beating like crazy, I pulled the box out.
And with a careful hand, I opened the lid of the box.
Inside the first box was a tunic decorated with gold thread on a pure white background, a stone head with a cross at the end, and a rosary with a similarly small carved cross hanging from it.
“There is…really, there was…”
At first glance, it may appear to be just priestly robes and religious tools, but I know the identity of the objects I found.
These items were sacred objects used by the saintess of the first warrior party who subdued the Great Devil in the past.
***
“hahahaha…”
When I checked the contents of the box, I couldn’t help but laugh.
There really was.
Even when I said that there really is a mountain called Falana in the Demon World, when I confirmed that there was a cave halfway up the mountain, and when I went inside the cave and found the traces I had seen in the game, I was honestly dubious. does not exist.
If this happens, the contents of another box will be the items I know, and the possibility that items hidden in other places are also in the same place as the game really increases.
I turned my gaze back to the box.
In the box, the court robe, three rosaries, and rosary beads each had a unique name, and each one was a precious holy object.
what was your name Obviously, the robe is an angel’s seonghaepo, the three are the staff of chastity, and the rosary… I don’t remember.
In any case, these relics were items that only appeared in the game, like most other items, not mentioned in the original novel.
Was it an explanatory tool that would provide the lack of probability of the original work?
And the existence of these items means that this world is a place where elements from novels and games that I know are mixed.
There was nothing special about the angel’s Holy Haepo except for the title of the holy relic of the first saint, and the rosary didn’t seem to have a great effect either.
However, the staff of chastity has a clear use.
If there is only this, if the effect is also the same as what I know, then there is no need to worry at all even if the worst moment comes when the relationship with the demons deteriorates.
I decided to keep the wand aside for later, and to use the robe and rosary for a purpose worthy of their name.
I carefully set the first box aside and turned my attention to the second box.
If the items were still contained like the first box, this might actually be more useful to me.
-Legally
When I opened the box, there were quite a few different items mixed together.
And judging by its appearance, the items contained here are exactly what I know.
I started sorting the items, taking them out of the box one by one.
“This is a fairy elixir, this too. ‘s old book? And this…’book of advanced massage secrets’? It actually even contains this…”
Among the items, the most numerous were fairy elixirs, and according to the setting, it was the elixir among elixirs whose recipe could not be found any more in the world.
In fact, in the game, there was no way to acquire additional bottles other than the three bottles contained here.
In addition to the elixir, the box contained various old books used to increase stats in the game, two or three small weapons such as daggers, and one pair of glasses and a ring.
Even the massage secret book, which seemed to have been put in as a joke, would still be there.
In fact, it is safe to say that there is now no way to obtain multiple items at once.
Hidden items scattered all over the western continent were basically one in each place, and there were only two of them.
However, in the game, there were many areas where the Pandemonium was not implemented except for the beginning, and because of that, all the items assigned to the Pandemonium were gathered in one place.
I didn’t think much of it at the time, but I never imagined it would help me this much.
If I had known this would be the case, I would have memorized the item names more carefully.
I was able to remember the names of the elixir and one or two ancient books, but I can’t remember the names and uses of the rest of the items, such as glasses and rings.
I decided to put it away for now, and to reduce the volume to bring with me as much as possible, I decided to acquire the type of old books now.
When I picked up an old book and opened it to any page, a bright light began to spread from the letters, and soon the book crumbled and disappeared into powder.
In the same way, I began acquiring other old books one after another.
I wonder what kind of use the massage secret book is, but I guess I’ll have to learn what came out.
If there is no place to use it, you can give your father a massage later.
However, I absorbed all three types of old books in the box, but I don’t think I’m feeling any noticeable improvement.
Even if it’s a massage secret, if you’ve absorbed the old books of intelligence and power, something must change to be normal…
Maybe it’s too weak to show off, that’s not what it means.
After absorbing all the old books, the volume of the second box was reduced by half.
And an item reached the end of my gaze.
The elongated glass bottle was filled with an unknown liquid, and a pair of eyeballs were floating inside.
At the back of the eyeball, even the elongated optic nerve-like part hangs intact, adding to its grotesqueness.
It was an item with an unidentified, unpleasant appearance, but one good thing was that I still remembered what this item was for.
***
‘It’s better to use this now… I guess?’
The strange-looking eyeball is an item that had the name ‘Lakisia’s Eye’ in the game.
And this item had various small effects related to the eyes, such as night vision, increased visual acuity, and increased range of vision.
However, if there is one thing that is said to be the greatest effect of this item, it is that it is the only thing that can open the spiritual eyes and enable contact with the spirits to bloom.
To be honest, Rakisia’s Eye wasn’t a very useful item in the game.
In the first place, it was not possible to directly experience the performance even if the night vision was brightened and the body vision increased, and although it was possible to contact the spirits in the setting, the spirits were not implemented in the game.
But in reality, the story is different.
From noble mtl dot com
Each and every small effect would be of great help, and above all, the ability to communicate directly with the spirits is very rare in this empire.
A child with the aptitude of a Elementalist was rare in the first place, as it was only born once every few decades, and they are very precious around them because they can use multiple types of magic more powerfully and quickly with the power of the Spirit. was treated as
And maybe it was because of such a beautiful background, there was also a girl in the main character’s party who had the power of a spirit slain.
She was also a student at the academy, but by now that girl must have developed her abilities.
‘Okay, let’s use it.’
After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to use Rakisia’s Eye.
Actually, there was nothing to worry about.
It’s an item that’s almost like an Easter egg, so there’s nothing to affect the story if I use it, and above all, the ability to contact the spirits is a huge advantage that can fully cover my lack of talent.
But when I decided to use it, I realized that there was one problem.
‘How did you use this?’
This was a problem I had never thought about.
I had never equipped this item in the game, and it wasn’t like holding it in my hand and using it right away like old books.
After thinking for a while, I finally made up my mind and opened the round cap of the glass bottle.
The lid opened with a pop, and I slipped my fingers through the spout of the bottle and pulled out both eyeballs inside.
I don’t know if it’s because of my mood, but somehow it feels like the eyeballs on my palms are making eye contact with me.
After having a snowball fight with them for a while, I closed my eyes tightly and swallowed both eyeballs whole, one after the other.
“Not much has changed…? Ha, wasn’t it this way… I should throw up right now…?!”
But no matter how much I waited, I couldn’t find any change in my body.
Just as I was contemplating whether I had chosen the wrong method, a sudden, excruciating pain struck me without warning.
“Turn off, turn off, turn off!!”
The sudden pain in my eye caused me to collapse on the floor of the cave, screaming for the mountain to leave.
It was a terrible pain that could be called torture, as if someone was burning his eyes with a heated iron.
“Turn off, turn off… turn off…”
– Took
– rolling around
While moaning in pain for a while, I heard the sound of something falling to the floor, and suddenly my vision turned black and I couldn’t see anything.
I fell to the floor unable to bear the constant pain.
And the last thing I did was to faintly feel the touch of the cold rock against my cheek, and eventually let go of my mind.
