'Well, I don't know what it is, but I'm glad we were able to solve it. I'm glad you were able to solve it.

'Stop ...... stirring things up every time something happens!

Lucia, who was walking next to me, let out a deep, soul-draining sigh.
I don't mean to stir things up, but ...... I can't help it if I'm judged to be stirring things up even if I'm complimentary, humble, or honest.

I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get a thank you for making such a big deal out of it.

You'll be able to get a lot more out of it.
A wand is one of the most expensive weapons in the world. If you have a wand with high magic amplification or special abilities, the price will go through the roof. Just like the bracelet-shaped wand used by Telm and the wand of Krahi, the wand of treasure is a dream for mages.

It was the treasured possession of the Sword Saint. It's a treasure of the Sage of Swords . Well, no matter what kind of wand I have, I won't be able to use it. ...... Wand-shaped treasures tend to choose their bearers.
If this is the kind of treasure that chooses its bearer, it will take a lot of time to investigate its effects. The only thing we can do is to check the literature to see if there are any legends of similar items. I'm not sure if Mr. Marchese can help you with that. .......

As I twirl my wand in a good mood, Lucia grumbles.

'Every time the leader makes a fuss, my teachers and colleagues make fun of me,' she said. It's like ...... your brother did it again!

'Heh, ............ why don't you punch him?

'...... Are you serious or are you joking?

I haven't done anything wrong, but ...... the trouble is coming from the other side. The world is too dangerous anyway. The world is too dangerous. Earlier, Mr. Thorn also said that it was a curse.
I can't even walk outside without Lucia by my side.

I gave a small cough to change my mind, and Lucia looked me in the eye and said.

'So, when do you want to go with me to the doctor's office?

'What? ...... Why?'

'...... I told you at the clan house just now! The teacher was pissed off about the last minute cancellation of the Martial Arts Festival and wanted me to bring my brother.'

Oh, so it's true. You're really short sighted.
Lucia, unlike Luke, is serious. That's why he doesn't like that I'm dragging Lucia around. Whether it's Luke or Lucia, either way it's the strongest system that will bring me complaints.

I'm even getting complaints from the Rodin family, Ark's parents' family! If I collect all the claimants, I'll have all the big names in the Imperial Capital. I'm one of the biggest claim collectors in the Imperial Capital. If I sell the claims, I'll be a millionaire.

I narrowed my eyes, tried to smile gently, and told Lucia in a gentle voice.

'Lucia,......, it's rude to take me away.

'............I'm starting to feel that way too. But I'm telling you to bring me even if you have to drag me!

Lucia quickly grabbed my sleeve with a furtive glance. She's really going to drag me.

Well, he's my brother, I'm my brother. Lately, I've been losing my dignity, but I'm still Lucia's protector. Maybe no one thinks so.

If something happens to me, I'll fly to her like a level 8 big brother, but if it's a complaint, it's pathetic.
Lucia's teacher is a professor at the most prestigious magic academy in the imperial capital, the headquarters of mages in the imperial capital. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
It's not as well known as the only one, the Kensei, but the scale of the system is incomparable to that of a mere dojo. There's an unpleasant sense of tension that's different from appearing in front of the Kensei .

Unlike the Sword Sage, I don't like the fact that I can't predict what the mage will do. Even if I go, I'd like to see if I can get him in a good mood.

I check the wand I just got again. It's a prized possession of the Sage of Swords , and although I haven't examined it at all yet, it must have some power. If I were to convert it into money, the price would be quite high, but it's a sword that Eliza originally gave me for free, and it's the best way to put me in a good mood. If the Sword Saint foresaw that Lucia's teacher would be angry! I'm ...... brilliant today! Lucky.

'Lucia, this wand seems to be very powerful, why don't you take it to your teacher? Didn't you say you were looking for a wand, teacher?

Give him a high-priced wand, and he won't be angry. I would definitely lose it.
Lucia blinked at my sudden suggestion and gave me a quizzical look.

'............? I'm sure you've been looking for it, but did you tell ............ the leader? And the wand was just given to me--'

Hmm. Of course, ............ I just said it randomly. Besides, I was told not to sell this treasure, but not to give it away.
I don't want to give it away if I can help it, but I'm not too attached to it yet, and if letting go of this staff will help Lucia, then so be it.

I mean, it's more natural for a professor to hold the staff than for the Sage to hold it. It sits where it should.

I'm sure Lucia's teacher will be satisfied. Now, take it and tell him it's a gift from me, okay? I'm sure her anger will subside.

'Okay, okay. ............ Are you sure you're okay with this wand?

When I pushed the wand to her, Lucia looked at it with an unusual and slightly anxious expression.
It is certainly rare to find a wand that is completely black from top to bottom. Black is the color of luxury, but in the treasure industry, it is also the color of curses. But it's okay.

'Ha-ha-ha, don't worry. Lucia is a worrier.''

'...... The leader doesn't care too much.'

The Sword Saint didn't say anything either, so how could he give her something so dangerous?

That's right, he's a professional magician. It's no surprise that he knows more about wand-shaped treasure than an ordinary treasure appraiser. Lucia would probably give it to him properly.

'Surprisingly, the teacher might know what the wand is. ......'

'Yes, I know a lot about it, but ......, if you know what it is, you should have told me beforehand--'

In the event that you've got a lot more than one of these, you'll be able to find a lot more.

I received it from Franz. What on earth do I want? I don't want to answer, but I also owe Franz-san for interceding with the Sword Saint. It would be unreasonable for us not to answer when he did. It's not like we're face to face.
Take a deep breath and activate the sympathetic stone. In a cheerful voice, try not to offend the other party.



'Hello, Franz? Hi, it's me.

'Hi, it's me.' 'Are you always in that mood? I've told you many times, I'm not your friend!

'......No, I'm just trying to ease your nerves. ......'

'............Why should I be nervous about you!

You're still the same. I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
Lucia's lips are pursed and she's looking up at you sullenly. She doesn't like to have her conversation interrupted. But I think it was good timing. There's no way I'd know what a wand is,......, and you wouldn't believe me if I told you I didn't know anyway.

'Oh yeah, thanks for the Sword Saint thing! I don't know what it is, but it worked. I even got something in return. ...... I wish things always worked out this way--'

I'm sure the reason it went so well was because of Franz's mediation. He's a good man. Or is this what you call power? I'm sorry for all the help I've been getting lately.
When I said this in a slightly cheerful voice, what came back from Kyodo-Stone was a more forceful shout.

'About that! You, what do you mean! The ruckus with the magic sword has stopped, but the prophecy has not disappeared!

'............?

The sudden outrage caused passersby to pause for a moment and then hurriedly move away.

Lucia checked the sympathetic stone, me, and the wand I had pressed against her, and looked at me once more, this time with a furtive glance.
