Episode 21.8 (2/2)

Lecan's voice was cold.

”I'll lend an ear.”

”I wish to offer the <Dagger of Harut> you have before the altar of the first earl just for a little bit. I beg of you!”

Lecan could feel his anger welling up.

Is this guy still plotting to take <Dagger of Harut> by deception, thought Lecan.

But he swallowed his anger, and took a step back to ponder.

Perhaps Henjitt merely wanted to present the dagger before the altar of his grandfather, the first earl. Perhaps he wanted to report to him, 'this treasure was found in the dungeon you earned'. In that case, Lecan's got nothing to lose sparing some time for him.

”I shall be present there. I won't let <Dagger of Harut> slips out my view even for a second.”

”Of course, that is only right. Please come this way if you would.”

Lecan followed after Henjitt. Tomaj accompanied them as well.

The first earl's mausoleum was located inside a majestic building.

Lecan handed over <Dagger of Harut> as Henjitt walked forward toward a small altar located in the center.

Henjitt reverently enshrined <Dagger of Harut> on the altar with both his hands, then he knelt down and prayed in front of it.

Tomaj did the same.

Lecan watched over them in the back.

Eventually Henjitt finished praying, took down the dagger from the altar and handed it back to Lecan.

”I offer my deepest gratitudes to your magnanimity.”

”Yea.”

Afterward, Tomaj brought Lecan to the room where he had the talk with the earl earlier.

Soon enough, a chamberlain brought the written apology on a tray.

It's wrapped with a decorative cord, with a sealing wax stamped on it.

Lecan put it inside <Storage>.

The shield and the wand were brought over as well.

”<Appraisal>.”

Tomaj and Henjitt were taken aback when they witnessed Lecan suddenly casting <Appraisal>. Might also be because he didn't do a preliminary casting.

The shield is capable of generating an anti-physical barrier that covers an area if you recite a spell. The barrier can be erased if you recite the spell again. However, one thing bugged Lecan.

”Once this shield generate its barrier, can anyone other than the one activating the barrier remove the barrier too.”

”Y-yea. The barrier gets removed when someone recites the spell.”

Then this shield is an unbelievably defective item. It's practically unusable in inter-personal combats.

”This shield blocks physical attacks, you're not gonna tell me attacks by the person holding the shield get blocked as well, are you?”

”Yeah. This shield blocks physical attacks coming from the front and back. It possesses the perfect defensive powers.”

What's even perfect about that, thus Lecan cursed in his head. That means you can't attack your opponent with your sword if you use this shield. Lecan has completely lost interest in the shield.

The wand has a high performance.

Once it's been filled with mana, it can shoot out lighting type magic thrice.

However, Lecan has a wand with a similar performance already, and he can cast offensive spells on his own. This wand cannot be used to strengthen Lecan.

Besides, Lecan couldn't bring himself to use the items Bargos wielded.

He felt pity to this adventurer by the name Bargos.

As such, Lecan decided to claim the shield and wand as loot but not to put them on himself.

(Guess I'll present these to Vouka's town lord.)

”Okay, I'm heading back.”

”Lecan-dono. Please do come again to this dungeon.”

”Yea.”

Despite saying 'yea', Lecan had zero intention to ever come back to either Dungeon Golbul or Town of Golbul.
