Return of The 8th Class Mage Chapter 118
class level in this current condition?
‘It would be a sight to behold.’
As a matter of fact, it is not finished yet.
He has only equipped himself with a single artifact.
There are still seven remaining artifacts.
‘They must all embody such power like this robe.’
His heart pumped just by thinking about it.  Ian did not put too much emphasis on the artifacts in the beginning.  As it was in his former life, he used to consider them as useful tools that can be utilized in passing.
As one reaches the levels of higher classes, the effects of artifacts also become negligible.  That’s why he set out to find the master craftsman.  It was out of the anticipation that there may be more powerful artifacts than the current ones.  In other words, it was out of the thought of, perhaps, finding something even in the form of a twig.
That’s how it was.
‘But with such an artifact, the entire situation would change.’
The result was that the harnessed power of the artifact was not of a simple twig.  At this level, it was like having discovered a powerful rope.  Furthermore, there exist seven more of such ropes?
“You must be very fond of your child.”
It was when Ian entered into a deep thought.
Bertholdo subtly started a conversation.
It was as if he wanted to hear what Ian was thinking.
“May I tell you something in truth?”
“Have you been speaking falsehoods up to now?
“No, that’s not it, but.”
“I’m just being facetious.  Please do tell me.”
“I’ve never encountered this type of artifact.”
Those were Ian’s first words.
And praising continued.
“I can tell you that I’ve encountered so many artifacts, but they were nothing more than garbage.  As you said, it is a masterful one.”
“Hahaha!”
Bertholdo broke out into laughter after hearing the praises.  Although he has stopped shortly, feeling awkward, the laughter was filled with delight.
“Hm!  I can’t even guess as to how long it has been since I laughed like this.  The kudos that I wanted to receive from Fran, I’m hearing it from his descendant instead.”
It was certainly a satisfaction that came in several hundred years.
The feeling was very special for Bertholdo.
“By any chance, do the effects of the remaining artifacts match that of this one?”
“Maybe, that I can’t say for sure as each one had worked on their pieces in complete secret, but the levels would be comparable.”
“I can’t wait.”
“Still, none of them would come close to my child, so don’t set your expectations too high.”
Bertholdo said in a proud tone of voice.
It was an expression that displayed the master craftsman’s pride.
“I also thought the same.”
“Hahaha…..!”

Maybe it was because they were praises and flattery that he was hearing for the first time in many hundreds of years?  The tone of Bertholdo’s voice, which was very dry at the time of their initial encounter, has come back to full life.
As it was the long time period that has caused his attitude, it only meant that he was a human.
“However that child…. Does it include Craven?
“Include?”
“As one of the master craftsmen.”
