In the end, I ended up defeating eight destrents.
　The goal was to increase my status, but as a byproduct, I gained a great deal of experience, and my level had reached 28.
　Thanks to this, I was able to master a number of powerful spells, including Wind III, Stone III, Manabort III, Poison II, and Paralyze II.

　However..........it's not that I'm greedy, it's just that I want equipment that is commensurate with my level.
　The old oak wand that I own is also quite a high-class item, and its performance is commensurate with its price.
　However, it's a store bought item that can be purchased anywhere. It's also classified as rank D equipment in the strategy book.
　It's a bit more of a...
　I'm not going to say that it's a rank S equipped "Daimaimaima no Wand" or a rank A equipped "Wise Man's Wand", which I've only seen in literature.
　Can't I at least get a Rank C equipped 'magic wand'?
　But that's a rare piece of equipment that's rarely sold....
　Even if you were lucky enough to be able to sell it, it wouldn't be less than a thousand gold coins at the auction.
　If I told you that a hundred gold coins would allow you to live quite richly for an entire year, do you have any idea how expensive it is?
　Naturally, this is an amount of money that I can't even afford right now.

　In an inn in the royal capital of Laxtia, I flipped through the "strategy book" in anguish.
　And then some extraordinary information caught my eye.
　No, I was riveted.

　　　　◇◆◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇.

Are you all right, Master Magnus?
Yeah, it's a nice view. This is going to make my research easier.

　I was currently on the roof of a certain house.
　This area is a relatively wealthy neighborhood, but this house is the only one in the vicinity that even has a ladder to climb up to the roof from the veranda.
　The reason I was able to find this house among the hundreds of houses in the plot was, after all, thanks to the "Strategy Book".
　A detailed map of the entire Laxteria area and various facilities with annotations on famous spots as well as unusual houses.

I hope it's all right, but.... I wouldn't mind if something were to happen to your brave companion...''
Don't worry about it. I'd rather have it.
Okay.

　The landlord extends a long, sturdy board from the balcony and hands it to me.

'Thank you. We're good to go.
Okay, sure. Anyway, just don't fall down, okay?

　The landlord still looked uneasy, but he obediently withdrew into the house.

There is no one in this royal capital now who does not know about the brave Eugene and his party.
　Also, no one knows that I have been declared ineligible to fight for the party.
　I'm not going to be the only one who has a problem with that. He allowed me to come up to his house without question, and he even allowed me to climb onto his roof.
　And I never cheated the good-natured landlord, either.

"We need to do some research to defeat the Demon King. Can you help us?

　And when I was honest with you.

Wow, whatever I can do to help!

　And the landlord has just undertaken to do it.
　He didn't tell me that I wasn't a member of the Brave Samaritans anymore, but he didn't lie to me.

　Now, I used the long planks the landlord gave me as a bridge to carry over to the next house's roof.
　As I moved onto the next house's roof, I passed the boards over the next roof again.
　We repeated the process, one after the other, moving from roof to roof.
　The goal was the most opulent mansion in this section of the house.
　However, it is old moldy and mossy as if it were a ghost house.
　Ivy is growing all over the place.

　I successfully reached the roof of the mansion and stood in front of the chimney.
　Inside was a large hollow space. There was enough room for a grown man to fit through.
　However, there's nothing to take advantage of, and if you're careless, you'll inevitably crash down to the first floor, and the only thing waiting for you is a shameful death.
　So I cast the Levitation spell, which can be learned at level 3. It lets me control the speed of my freefall.
　Unlike Levitation II, which can be learned at level 16, Levitation can't be increased, but this is good enough for now. I'm not interested in wasting Mana Points.
　By the way, according to the Strategy Guide, once you reach level 29, you'll be able to learn Flight. The thought of being able to fly in the sky in the flesh makes me feel excited to be a child again.

Thanks to the Levitation, I slowly and dangerously arrived at the bottom of the chimney.
　It was a large fireplace that showed no signs of having been used for many years.
　I stepped out of the fireplace, brushing the ashes from my body.
　I've successfully entered the house without being spotted and without breaking down the front door or doing any other obvious acts of violence.

　Once you're in, you've already confirmed in the "strategy book" that no one is home.
　I searched the mansion with an open mind.
　This house seems to be the residence of the previous generation's king's staff.
　I take the stairs to the third floor and enter his study.
　Inside, I find a magnificent desk and human remains scattered around it.
　This is the end of the "King's Staff" of the previous generation.
　It seems that he had been left here for more than ten years, dying alone, without family or friends to take care of him.
　More than ten years without anyone even knowing about his death.
　Not even the decomposed meat was left anymore, and the bones were dry.
　I unfolded the package I had brought with me and politely gathered up the poor old man's bones, one by one.
　I planned to bury him later, albeit briefly.
　I'm not an ardent believer in God by any means, but I do have at least some social sense. I'll at least mourn the dead and pray for their souls.
　When I gathered all the old man's bones into a package - good, I got down to the main issue that brought me to the mansion.
　He examined a staff that was propped up on his office desk in both hands.

　It was truly a majestic cane.
　However, rather than being gorgeous, it was elegant.
　The handle is not made of wood, but metal. It's made of mithril, which is tens of times more valuable than silver. Thanks to this, it is very light.
　And if you look closely at the hilt, you can see an exquisite relief design carved elegantly and casually. Various moon angels, said to be the Luna City's attendants, the spirits of magic, were dancing lively and lively. It is not only brilliant to the eyes, but also interesting to feel when you hold it.

　On the tip, there is a metal decoration with a motif of a crescent moon.
　In addition, there are huge iridescent stones, just like the tip of a spear.
　The auction price of a precious iridescent stone of this size would be no less than 10,000 gold coins.
　No - in the first place, if this wand was put up for auction, it would probably fetch as much as 100,000 gold coins.
　Can you believe it?　It's a calculation that allows us to live a life of luxury like an aristocrat for five hundred years. It's so unrealistic that it's almost funny.
　It was truly a national treasure.
　This is the staff of the Great Magic Way.
　This is a rank S equipment that I've only heard of from literature.

　It's also a tremendous piece of equipment.
　It's the only thing I've ever heard of.
　It also increases the effects of strengthening magic by 186%.
　Conversely, it reduces the opponent's chance of resisting state abnormality magic and weak magic by 51%.
　It also reduces the MP consumption of magic by 25%.
　It also contains a foul special effect that can extend the range of magic that can only target a single person.
　Excellent!

　The staff of the Great Magic Way was buried in the past when the old man died, never to be used again, and I was grateful for the opportunity to borrow it.

When I have defeated the Demon King Morl-Fi and saved the world, I will surely come back to you and bury you with it.

　I swore that at the simple old man's graveside that I had built on the outskirts of King's Landing.
