Chapter 67 (2/2)
”But, well, how enviable that you don't have to worry about injuries even if you use an extended-range wand~”
”Yes, if it's only this much, it seems to be within my scope”
”The one I recoed with spells in large quantities
It's versatile and relatively inexpensive
Oh, that's right”
Gilbert pounded his hand and drew our attention
”How about i Ojou-san try out the limits of the wand expansion?
Botchan's hobby is profitable, surely your research about special wands will give rise to large amount of money
You can make more variety of wands with that money, and Ojou-san can also use a lot more wands”
I see
If Harold could e of weapons will also be easier to get
If the compensation was not monetary but a report to Harold instead, then that would be even reat
”That is an attractive proposal”
I stared at Harold and nodded
”Ahaha, I did it, Botchan A wonderful collaborator has been made”
”Aniki……!”
”See, when you made a proposal, you must appeal not only to yourself but also to your opponent”
Harold turned red and pushed away Gilbert as slinging an arm around him
Well, there were differences difference between adults and children, so I didn't think they would need to be shy
I wondered if I could extend the bargaining power now
”Isn't that great, let's get along well”
”Yes, please take care of rasped my hand with both hands as he sht, with this you have become my partner!”
”Yes……”
'Partner' was soh, but oh well
With this we had becoood
If that is the case, Earl Nibelheiht, Botchan?”
Harold responded to the words of Gilbert as looking at our exchange with a smile
I felt that Harold's expression was somewhat cloudy
”No, about my father He doesn't want me to use a wand or create it”
”Eeh~, why is that Why is the Nibelheim family like that?”
”My father doesn't like wands veryof which, Harold sees before
Gilbert said to Harold with a knowing look
”Haha, since the previous Earl Nibelheim made a profit with thewell?”
”My father and grandfather were very close”
”Eh~, I thought they would have a troubling parent-child relationshi+p”
”Rather, in my house, my relationshi+p with that person is pretty strained”
Harold closed his eyes while sighing as if in resignation
”But, well, I'an to talk bit by bit about the accident that occurred to himself
Harold, as a 3-years-old, was a curious child
It seemed that he loved to secretly sneak into his father's Wunderkammer at that time
It was a mountain of treasure for a small child
Lots of alchemy materials, used compact athanor, brand new beakers and test tubes for cos of brass
Harold said he could spend hours just watching the storehouse
The day when that accident occurred
A special wand that happened to be fa on the floor
Earl Nibelhei it around for self-defense
Perhaps since he wasn't using it, he planned to charge it at that time, and maybe that was the only salvation
A curious three years old child loved his cool father's wand
If you saw your favorite adult's treasure falling on the floor, everyone would surely do the sa
Harold's father, as surprised by the loud sound, caure of his son who fell down liht hand was burned red, and it see like a flaht him to a doctor's house for first aid
The doctor who finished the treative up on his coh the superficial injuries would be healed, it was difficult to pull out the extraneous ical power that stuck in his body
Therefore, this child's right hand will reht hand couldn't move a twitch for about two years
After that, he earnestly requested Turm Elder, who had started his retirement, to perform medical treatment for one year
Finally, when he was about six years old, his right arm could move like ordinary people
”Since then, that person ceased creating wands that he was doing as a hobby, and even stopped carrying a wand for self-defense”
”That's……that's a heart-breaking story”
The topic that was brought up casually was unexpectedly heavy
Gilbert scratched his head but didn't look sorry
”However, while I was atco wands
After that, that person and I kept passing each other
I admire him and I love him, but……
For that person, I seeht hand with his left hand
Perhaps there was still an after-effect, oruneasy
”Well, he is busy at work, so I haven't got a chance to speak properly with him
Now there's hardly any reason to talk
He has been struggling for the hts of the new silver vein for the past year”
”Mining rights……?”
”Aah, the silver vein in the Nibelheim territory seems to end up withered and in low quality
If we cannot gather any ore at all, there's no point in developing a new refiningin hts of the silver vein'
Although the collapse of the County of Nibelhei silver vein fraud, I wondered if it was fine
”But thehts of the high-quality silver vein recently at last We borrowed h-qualtity, huh Where is the silver vein located?”
”At the County of Argene There seeinally part of the royal territory”
County of Argene
Those ords I had heard before
And if that was certain, the Earl Nibelheim had already been sca after the scahts to dig up the silver vein of Argene is never going to be sold”
”What?”
”Hmm, what do you mean, Ojou-san?”
Harold and Gilbert stared at hts of that silver vein was never put out for sale
That was because I planned to inherit it fro to inherit that territory and the peerage hasn't reach ten years old yet, so she shouldn't be able to exercise her rights”
All of a sudden, I felt as if the terees
I could see blood drained from Harold's face
Have you noticed? Aurelia –> Auruentum which means silver
