âIâm not sure yet, but itâs probably a magic stone.â\n
âI wonder if the sword held by the druid has magic stones on it?
âAh, it certainly does.â
âI think itâs giving us some kind of power to defeat Volgan. By the way, Druid, what kind of magic stone do you have in your sword? The people I saw said,â Wow, thatâs so exciting⌠â
Itâs a magic stone made by Sola, right?
That is certainly amazing.
Your father is careful not to look around too much.
âAh, itâs a magic stone close to the highest level. I was lucky enough to get it.â
âLuck. I envy you. Where did you get that?
âI got lost in the middle of my journey, and I happened to find a cave there. I wandered through the woods for a few days and managed to get to the village road, but I didnât know where the cave I found was.â
I managed to stop my face from getting caught.
You see your father, as usual.
Iâm the only one whoâs worried about finding out youâre lying.
âDonât you know the general location?
Commander Polyon is a little overwhelmed.
âI canât do it because I donât know how I walked through the woods at all.â
âStill, for a little while.â
âI searched, but I couldnât.â
âI see⌠Iâm sorry.â
Commander Polyon looks a little stubborn.
This commander has a rich expression.\n
âAh, I missed the point⌠well, look. Show me your sword later.â
âAs usual. Iâll show you later, so get back to the story. Is there something else?
Commander Polyon shouts at his daddyâs stupid expression.
âI have no choice but to give up. Itâs been confirmed that a high level of Magic Stone is needed to prevent Volgan from attacking.â
Ah, the story goes back to Volgan.
â⌠do I have to ask that?
âI donât think so. I was just wondering if you knew anything about magic stones.â
Your father leans his neck against the words of Commander Polion.
âDid you know that the top adventurers were involved in yesterdayâs crusade?
âOh, I saw him a little bit.â
âWhen I saw one of them fighting the Druid, I noticed the Magic Stone. And he tried it with his own sword. But it doesnât work like a dolphin. I wondered what was different, Magic Stone. Looks like a beautiful magic stone. So I realized that the level was different, and when I attacked with the best magic stone I had, I was able to break the boundary. Incidentally, weâve received reports that Magic Stones used Level 4.â
You mean you need a pretty high level Magic Stone.
âSo, one thing I noticed was that the top adventurer repeatedly attacked with magic stones several times. Using magic stones to lower their attack power would have helped them reach the border.â
What do you mean, out of the way?
Does lowering your Attack affect your boundaries?
I mean⌠if I had magic stones, I wouldnât need that much power?
âItâs true. They tried to get the Lower Adventurer to use his sword to attack. It was impossible in one shot, but the boundary broke in two and they were able to attack Forganâs body.â
Thatâs amazing, isnât it? \nâI thought magic stones were commonly used to increase attack and defense, but there might be something else. Did Doloid hear anything? For example, if you use it to attack, it gives you special powers.â
Your father shakes his head against the words of Commander Polion.
âIâve never heard of it. The magic stone is the recognition that it raises power.â
âNormally, yes. Well, thatâs why I realized that Volganâs crusade might even be possible for a low-level adventurer, and I wanted to thank you for looking at my face. I was curious about the name Doloid.â
âIâm glad we found a way to crush you. Even so, itâs a troublesome monster.â
âReally. Why did you make such a monster?â
âAh, but it looks like one problem can finally be solved. You know my despair when I realized the attack didnât work? At that time, I really thought Iâd abandon this village. But thanks to the Dread, we know that with Magic Stones we can defeat even one of our lower-level adventurers. A sphere made with water magic by Volgan, who was an obstacle. Even if I wanted to attack Forgan, I couldnât get in the way. But not from now on. Even if they come in large crowds like yesterday, they will be able to handle it. I really appreciate it.â
âOh, thatâs goodâŚ. Poleon, I need to check something.â
My father opens his mouth but stops on the way.
Commander Polyon leans his neck at the sight of it.
Arenât you going to ask?
Ah, speaking of which, you were speaking in the cafeteria defenselessly.
âWhat do you want⌠ahâ
Commander Polion cut off his words on the way and his eyes swim.
Apparently, I noticed a loss of voice.
Commander Polion looked at my father, and he slipped away from me.
\nâIf youâre talking about Polyon or Beas, you can ask me anything. Thereâs nothing to hide.â
Let me ask you something.
âWhat do you mean, chasing around?
âAh, thatâs it. We were a quicker apprentice to our master.â
âHmm? Because Gotos was with us.â
To your father, Mr. Gotos.
Commander Polion and Mr. Bease, who hasnât met yet.
Iâm sure it wasnât like this, but it must have been busy.
âI was an early apprentice, so itâs only natural that I was stronger than them, but I didnât like that we were stronger. Fight every time. If you get in trouble and run, follow me. Still running, they chased me all day. If you canât help it, weâll fight until theyâre happy. If you run away because itâs troublesome, come after me again. That was a tough time. Master wonât stop for nothing.â
That master wonât stop me.
âAnd you said the Polyon guy made Folgan.â
âShit. I hope you didnât stick your neck in the trouble.â
When I see your father, I look worried.
Talk to you in two days⌠hopefully nothing.
âDad, what about the sword?
Commander Polion told me to show it to you later, but he left without looking.
âAh, as usual. I canât help it, Iâll take it with me when I talk.â
