A genius gamer is reincarnated into a famous hero episode 82

Staff, Mitiel (3)

Mitiel, a legendary staff said to have summoned a meteorite.

From its name, it seemed to have great value, Natalen said.

‘Actually, that wand is very cheap and kind of, no, really bad! So, don’t necessarily think about wanting it. got it?’

Harang was a tree frog. Saying that makes me want it even more.

Moreover, a cane that no one else has had for 109 years… … For Harang, who had lived as a man of interest, this was truly an unbearable mascot.

Harang entered the magic tool store and looked around the inside. There were quite a few strange magical tools, such as a crystal skull with purple steam rising or a wand floating in the air.

‘Oh, this is…’ … .’

Harang tried to reach for the clicking skull crystal, but before he could, he heard a voice from behind him.

“Hot, curious little customer. “It would be best not to touch that.”

As I turned my head in the same position I had reached with my hand, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his early to mid-40s walked out from inside the store.

That man is ‘Avon Carlton,’ a wand craftsman who protects Mitiel in the current era.

“I created a magic tool that detoxifies all poisons, but it ended up becoming a magic tool that absorbs all poisons and transfers them to those who touch it. Well, it’s okay to touch him if you’re confident that he’ll survive, but he’ll usually die, right? “Especially if it’s a kid like you, he won’t be able to last even 5 seconds and will turn into a slime?”

“… … .”

After listening to Avon, Harang looked at the crystal skull again.

Through the Morning Star Eye, I already knew the identity of the crystal skull. However, there was one message that stood out even more than that.

[Morning Star, I suggest that it would be a good idea to hold the Skull Crystal.]

This was the advice of Saetbyeol-an, who gained ‘wisdom’ while leveling up this time.

Since Saetbyulan’s analytical ability already existed, I wondered what it meant to have wisdom, and found out that it refers to combining the information one has and calculating calculations that Harang had not thought of before.

‘After analyzing my body’s condition and that magic tool, does it mean that it would be better to hold it? If Saetbyeol is like that, then that’s the case.’

[Saetbyeol-an, I don’t like the name ‘Saetbyeol’… … .]

Hot! Harang ignored Saetbyulan’s next message and grabbed the skull.

“Oh my god!”

The moment Avon was shocked, a purple mist spewed out from the skull.

Pass… … !

The fog seeped into his body, but Harang accepted it without fear.

As I closed my eyes and waited for a moment, a small message came to mind.

[I inhaled the deadly poison antibody ‘Heavenly Poison.’]

[Because you have absorbed and willingly endured a thousand poisons that exist under the sky, your body will never be injured by deadly poisons.]

Harang took in the purple fog and exhaled deeply, breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Haaa… … .”

Purple breath leaked out of the corner of his mouth, accepting the change in his body.

[By absorbing a thousand poisons and acquiring antibodies, your magic power and abilities increase significantly!]

The deadly poison was hot, but after I accepted all of it, purified it, and made it mine, it turned into a cool energy.

“Huh, see this?”

Avon widened his eyes as if he was dumbfounded.

The wizards who come here are very curious, but most of them are smart and do not dare to touch such dangerous objects.

So, I thought that I had lost a talented person because the little boy suddenly touched something that I had just placed… … !

“It wasn’t enough to absorb a thousand deadly poisons, but you absorbed them by melting them into completely pure mana… … .”

Avon, the creator of that magic tool, knew even better how difficult it was to choose pure mana from deadly poison. That’s why Harang’s eccentricity was so surprising.

“Hehehe, it’s been a while since an interesting guest came to visit. I’ve heard that his gait and demeanor are somewhat uncharacteristic of a wizard and are sturdy, but looking at him this way, I can see that he is a wizard to his core. “What is your name?”

“… … This is Days. It’s a pleasure to meet you, Sir Avon Carlton.”

“The title ‘Lord’ is excessive. “I may have been smart and good-looking, but wasn’t I just the owner of a small store now?”

Harang made eye contact with Avon. He had strangely deep eyes, and it seemed as if he was seeing through Harang’s secrets.

“Hehe, kid. “You weren’t an ordinary wizard after all?”

“… … “How did you know?”

“A great wise man like me knows everything by looking at him, you little rat-sized kid.”

Here, even Harang, who had maintained a poker face, looked slightly surprised.

After being revealed?

No, that’s not really a problem.

He was aware that as long as he was making such conspicuous moves, a situation could arise at any time where anyone would point out his identity and suspiciousness.

Rather, what surprised me was that he referred to himself as a ‘great sage.’

This is because the title of Great Sage could only be obtained if one had achieved at least 9 levels of magic, and the magic had to be so amazing, mysterious, and wise that even the gods beyond the sky could not imitate it.

Considering that currently on the continent of Astera there are only ten people with the nickname Great Sage, the middle-aged man in front of me is… … He could also be said to be a giant among giants.

‘In that case, it’s only natural that his identity will be revealed… … .’

Harang bowed politely, but not too servilely.

“I apologize for unavoidably not being able to reveal my real name.”

“Kahahaha! It’s okay. Is it because of the 5 great magic families? Hot, don’t worry. I hate those bastards too. There will be no talking about you. “Unless you’re trying to do anything weird in this city.”

“I don’t have the power to do that, and I don’t have the intention to do that, so you don’t have to worry.”

“okay. I know. You are very ‘pure’. “I can tell.”

“… … ?”

Although he didn’t understand what that meant, Harang changed the topic as best he could.

“I thought you were a wandmaker, but I was really surprised.”

“If I had done that, I wouldn’t have been able to protect my teacher’s staff from those greedy wizards. A great sword can be forged by an excellent craftsman alone, but a great swordsman definitely needs the help of an excellent wizard.”

“Master… “Did you say that?”

“Okay, okay. ‘John ​​Ariak’, the wizard who last held Mitiel 109 years ago, is my teacher. How about it, isn’t it amazing? Isn’t it amazing? Hehehe, it’s a fact that isn’t well-known to the public, so most people are as surprised as you with their eyes wide open!”

“… … .”

When Harang nodded as if he was really surprised, Avon raised his head as if he was happy and laughed, covering his face with his large hands.

“Hehehehe, this feels good, yeah! I always look at old people, but when I see this cute little boy, I feel like my eyes are being cleaned. “For the first time in a long time, I thought someone with an upright heart and a pure soul came to visit me, but it turned out to be a child!”

“… … Isn’t it too young?”

“no! Rather good. There were only a few guests as young as you, but most of them became world-renowned wizards decades later. “You probably do too.”

“Not yet… … “It’s very lacking.”

“Haha, unusual humility. “It is a small hobby of mine to give my handmade magic tools as gifts to those who are pure and have the potential to succeed in magic.”

Avon spread his arms wide and spoke excitedly, but suddenly his expression hardened and he raised his index finger.

“In order to do that, you have to ‘fail’ one of the most important exams. “You know, right?”

It was a funny story.

It’s not like I’m passing the test, I’m saying I’m failing.

Maybe it’s natural. From Avon’s point of view, coming into this store means that you are already a verified person.

The test he is talking about… … .

“Now, let’s go resonate with ‘Mitiel.’ “I’m so excited, I can’t wait!”

It is to resonate with the staff left by Natalen and find out whether or not you are worthy of holding it.

Harang was a little nervous, but secretly he was looking forward to it.

‘Still, I’m Master Natalen’s disciple, won’t he react to me?’

He has even mastered the Mythical Advent magic, and the mana in his body is very pure. I don’t know what Mitiel’s conditions are, but this should be enough to pass most wand tests.

“Come this way.”

Harang, who was following Avon down to the basement, looked around due to an inexplicable sense of discomfort in the space.

“Wow, I have a good feeling.”

“Did you distort space?”

“yes! You have great insight! If you look closely at the eyes, they shine beautifully like stars in the night sky. “I want to take just one piece and have it!”

I tried to ignore the bloody joke.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a wizard distort the entire basement of a normal building… … .”

“Isn’t it amazing? Amazing, right? It’s not something anyone can do. Hehehe, these days, even the giant magic towers follow my workshop, and the old wizards aren’t particularly surprised when they visit here, so I was bored. “Your reaction is fresh and refreshing and makes me feel so good!”

“Doesn’t the Great Magic Tower mobilize countless spatial wizards to set up a camp in a wide range of coordinates and invest an astronomical amount of magic stones? “That kind of magic and Mr. Avon’s magic are on a different level.”

“Ahahahahaha!”

Avon looked really happy. As he went down the stairs, his steps were more childish than that of a fourteen-year-old woman.

Apart from Avon, Harang kept delaying his steps out of pure curiosity without any intention of making him feel better.

Countless magic tools on display along the way and mysterious magic hanging throughout the building.

There were only things that captivated Harang.

“ah… … .”

Avon waited in silence as he watched Harang, who was staring blankly at the lamp hanging on the wall, completely absorbed in his eyes, not even realizing that the lens magic had been lifted.

‘Pure curiosity… … It’s truly rare in this day and age.’

What kind of being is a wizard?

Each person has a different definition, but Avon called a wizard ‘a person who leaves behind knowledge forever.’

What about Natalen, the legendary ‘story-telling wizard’ known as the master of Mitiel?

He defined a true wizard as ‘one who is eternally curious and imaginative’.

In that sense, isn’t that kid just the true wizard that Great Sage Natalen thought it would be?

‘I don’t even remember how long it has been since I lost that pure curiosity.’

Most wizards who came here were like that. When you were young, you would have been full of curiosity, digging into everything, and trying to find out the truth about everything.

However, as time passed and the desire for advanced circle magic and magic of a higher level and more powerful power grew, such curiosity gradually took a backseat.

It’s not that there were no people like Harang who were curious. However, they suppressed their curiosity.

The desire to resonate with the legendary weapon, Mitiel, pushed out curiosity… … .

‘Everyone would want to get hold of Mitiel sooner. Or, you might want to have my handmade magic tools.’

Harang didn’t see that side at all. He spent a whopping 6 hours just to go down all 10 floors of stairs.

I didn’t dare say ‘waste of time’. If anyone utters such words, Avon will never forgive them.

The time that Harang had now was so pure and precious that even Avon, who had the nickname of the Great Sage, could envy… … .

‘Hehehe, that guy. Wasn’t he trying to hide his silver eyes? It was released a long time ago and I didn’t even notice. Let’s see… … ‘I should give you a special lens as a gift so that even a 9-star wizard wouldn’t recognize it, right!’

When he finally reached the lowest level, Harang closed his eyes tightly.

“How do you feel? Are you ready now?”

“… … “Yes, I’m sorry for making you wait so long.”

“Hot hot! Does not matter. “All the old man in the closet does is watch you guys grow up.”

After saying that, Avon snapped his fingers. Then the huge dome surrounding the basement split in all directions, revealing the inside.

Inside, there was nothing but an empty space. But there’s just one thing that’s unique… … It was a stick floating in the air.

It looked like an ordinary wand, nothing special. It was just a black staff with something round hanging from the end, and there were no fancy decorations, dazzling jewels, or magic circle work to be seen.

Even among the cane family, black was the most common color.

This is because it was possible to disguise splendor and simplicity without any special processing.

However, Harang noticed that the silver color of the staff was completely different from the ordinary black color.

It was as dark as an abyss, as if it was absorbing all the light.

“The test is nothing special. Go grab it. If Mitiel rejects you, he will be kicked out.”

Avon did not necessarily talk about ‘the case when Mitiel gives permission.’ He felt no need to explain further, perhaps because no one qualified had appeared for over 100 years.

He also acknowledged that Harang was a special child, but he thought it was too much for him to be chosen by the cane.

Harang was confident.

The reason Mitiel didn’t choose a master for 109 years was because he was waiting for me.

He approached Mitiel with confident steps and stretched out his hand vigorously.

Teong-!!

“… … Ugh?!”

[Mugu, ‘Mitiel’ vehemently rejects you!]

Kwaang!!

It bounced off with force and landed against the wall.

Pass… … Tuk!

As the broken bricks along with the sand dust fell on Harang’s head, Avon came up to him, laughing.

“It hurts so much to fly. “Are you feeling okay?”

Avon, who was trying to pat his back, stopped extending his hand when he saw Harang’s calm eyes.

“… … Mr. Avon.”

“Okay, tell me.”

“Can I keep trying until I achieve this?”

“There’s nothing that can’t be done, but… … “It’s not something that can be accomplished by challenging yourself like that.”

“No, I think it will work.”

He was smiling with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, but somehow he looked very angry.

Harang stood up, patted his buttocks, and tapped his neck and shoulder bones! Solved.

“I’m not leaving here until I kill half of that damn wand.”

Avon could not bear to say that a wand was an inanimate object that did not die.
