c46 (2/2)

[Yeah, I have seen one a long time ago. It's said to be a defective magic item though. There was half shaped gem embedded like this so there is no doubt....]

[What kind of ring is this?] (Wazu)

According to Orlando's explanation this ring is made in pairs of two. The effect seems we could send and receive messages through the rings that has been registered to each other.

However, the reason why it's said to be a defective magic item is because the amount of magical power needed will change depending on the distance. Summary it consume enormous magical power so average wizards couldn't use it to send a message to far away place. Yup, it's a defective item. But it looks interesting.

[All right, it's decided!! I just need this ring. I don't need anything else so you can take the rest, Orlando] (Wazu)

I can't use it even if I got the weapon.

[Eh? Is that all?] (Orlando)

[Yeah, I don't have any particular problem with money, I don't need a weapon as well, I just need to kick or hit any opponent] (Wazu)

[Wait a moment. This is a defective item as I told a short while ago, also there is only one....] (Orlando)

[That gives me more reason. In other words, someone out there has the other ring, right? If I keep it, perhaps some message will come later. If that happens, I can return this ring to the rightful owner. It could be a memento of someone....] (Wazu)

[I see....] (Orlando)

Orlando nods to my story. He pondered on something while looking at the treasure in front of him. What's wrong? Everything is yours.

[All right, I will take this sword and several gold coins.] (Orlando)

That said, he took a sword with wings-like ornament and several gold coins.

[....Eh? Is that okay?] (Wazu)

[Yeah, I will give the rest to people of this village. They are the people who suffered damage here] (Orlando)

Ugh!! I never thought about it. Is this the difference between us? Is this the mindset of a man who aspiring to be a knight? You are dazzling, Orlando.

After telling the village chief that we will give the remaining treasure to everyone, the banquet become more rousing. We stayed overnight at the village and on the next day, while being thanked by everyone we departing from the village.
