chapter 33
33 – Local Experiential Learning (3)
Getting off the train and driving for a while on the road, we arrived at
It was a place called ‘Ur’, the largest city in the Phrygian territory.
Since it is located in the middle of a large lake and is surrounded by castle walls on the outside, it looks like an iron wall, so it looks like there must be one in a fantasy game.
Looking at the brochure, it is said that he wore this form to defend against invasion by foreign enemies.
I also wondered if it would be of great significance in a world where protective magic has developed.
“The super-large protection magic is a magic that has been created not long ago. Only about a thousand years now?”
“Then how did you protect the village before that?”
“Establish guards… Or hire adventurers?”
“Can you say that you protect it…?”
In the end, it is a method that requires sacrifice.
The purpose of protection magic is fundamentally different.
After listening closely, it is said that a large amount of magic stones are required to activate protection magic.
Distribution and supply are important, but it hasn’t been long since they’ve been solved.
As technology developed and means of transportation such as ships, airplanes, and trains appeared, the development of super-large protective magic also began.
Of course, the development of protective magic large enough to defend a city or a country was only recently (?) Developed.
Small-scale protection magic has good versatility, so commoners used it a lot.
“The super-large protection magic was developed by our holy kingdom.”
“Right. Was it etheric mana? You said you studied the wand.”
“It’s a staff… Say it’s a relic.”
“Ah… Sorry.”
Not too long ago, I breathed magic into the staff the Pope brought.
It was a simple staff that could hardly be called a holy relic.
Should I say it feels like it was made by plucking branches from roadside trees and cutting them?
“Aether Mana is a very meaningful relic for us elves. Your Highness should know that too.”
“Umm… Should I study theology in detail?”
“Ho..Are you finally interested in theology?!”
“No, not to that extent. Just interesting, interesting.”
“Sheesh…”
Looking at Maron muttering, ‘Still, my wife is a saint, so please help me with theological studies…’
Me and Lily laughed.
People around me are people who have religious beliefs to some extent, although not to the level of fanaticism.
Maron said that talking about her as a saint made her mouth hurt, and that her parents do not miss prayers every day.
Before I was born, when she was not very well in her mother’s womb, she prayed with utmost sincerity.
She says that at some point she became more religious because she suddenly became healthy.
I’m sure he did, he said about 7 months.
It is said that a miscarriage was almost certain due to her health deteriorating right before the birth.
She said that it was fine at some point, God bless you and what, it was noisy for a while.
Rather than God’s blessing, my parents’ love and sincerity made me
I believe that he has guided me into this world.
Anyway, when Maron is pouting and Lillie is stroking her cheek to cheer her up.
We have arrived at ‘Ur’.
***
“Wow…”
Now we are in the exhibition hall of the Phrygian Manor House.
This place exhibits the collections collected by past lords of Phrygia.
It is said to be famous as a place where no one is allowed in without special permission.
But Sir Abote opened it up to all of our cadets and instructors.
It is said that this is the first time in the history of the Phrygian territory.
And I am in awe.
Are you impressed with the lord?
That’s not true.
Smartphones seen on the news before.
I tried to buy it, but I fell asleep and missed the limited edition Yeonhwa 2.0.
Because it was right in front of me.
Beside me watching Yeonhwa 2.0 While drooling
I’m sorry for Lillie and Maron who are laughing bitterly, but
I have no intention of moving.
It will be imprinted on both eyes and brain.
“This design is a perfectly symmetrical design designed by designer ‘Daris’, who stayed up all night for a year, and dramatically reduces CPU and RAM…”
I felt someone’s presence behind me while I was talking like that.
Originally, I had to imprint that ‘Holy Grail’ on my eyes without even giving a second thought, but this is Yeongju Hall.
I looked back.
There stood Sir Abote, very gentlemanly.
“Heh heh heh… Does His Highness recognize the ‘Holy Grail’?”
“The Holy Grail…! Could it be that Sir Abbott collected it?!”
He boasts by using slang that our fans use.
He was smiling gently as he stroked his beard, which somehow made me feel warm.
Should I call him a grandfather watching over his granddaughter?
Weirdly, I felt that way.
Aside from that… This person too!!
“Yes, I am also an early adopter.”
“Kuh…”
That means I’m not an early adopter who didn’t get this product.
It was obviously rude, but I didn’t feel bad about it.
On the contrary, only the feeling of envy dominated my emotions.
As I was thinking about that, Sir Abbotte said a tremendous word.
“If Your Highness wishes, how can I not give it to you? Do as you wish.”
“That… Such a… Childlike…”
I almost jumped over it.
You can take this from here. If you take it away, my reputation will go down.
I will fall into hell.
“Of course, not this guy on display. But…”
Come to think of it, the posture of Sir Abbott, who was hiding one of his hands behind his back,
I was tilting my head because it was a little unnatural.
He pushed his hand in front of me.
And I was shocked once again.
“Yeonhwa 2.0!!”
“A true early adopter will have an extra one for missionary purposes.”
Speaking words you would normally use in doujinshi works
If you see it used in electronic devices, you must be quite wealthy.
Come to think of it, it looks like you were collecting things like swords and armor…
Looking at it now, Lillie and Maron are also going over there to look around.
“Take this.”
“But…”
“This is a gift from me to Your Highness.”
Kuh…
If it wasn’t for my grandfather, I might have hugged him.
I took it very seriously as if it were a bomb.
I cherish…
“It’s just pitiful for me to receive such a gift and not have a way to repay it.”
“Heh heh heh. Never mind. Actually, he’s not what I need.”
“Yeah…? What is that… Such a ‘Holy Grail’…”
“Would you like to check your serial number?”
I turned back and checked the serial number.
This Yeonhwa 2.0, Sold in a limited edition of 500, includes
There is a unique serial number.
From 1 to 500.
Each end number has a premium attached, so it boasts a huge price.
In the case of No. 1, There was also a news that it was sold for 2 salt flowers (about 200 million won) in an undisclosed auction.
The serial number of the guy I just received was 352.
It’s definitely not a pretty serial number that deserves a premium.
Huh..?
Wait a minute.
No way!!
When I turned around and saw Sir Abbott with a terrifying expression, he already had the key in his hand.
Yes.
It was the key to opening the showcase.
Chwiiiiik-
The sound of nitrogen escaping is heard.
Like the moonstone in my room, it seemed to use a nitrogen filling machine to protect it from corrosion.
A nitrogen filling machine of this size…!!
Sir Abbott put his latex gloves on both of his hands and carefully picked him up.
And for some reason, he showed it to me with a proud expression.
“This… Serial number… 1…!!”
There was a man in front of me who spent 200 million won on his smartphone.
***
“Sir Abote, thank you very much. I will keep it unopened for the rest of my life.”
“Heh heh. You don’t have to say that. I believe in ‘comrades’.”
The belief that it will never be opened.
Sir Abote and I burned our hot otaku souls, and about 3 hours had passed.
I returned to my assigned room.
Kikik
The sound of the door closing echoed and the attention of the boys who were making noise inside
I was focused here.
Obviously focused on me, but it wasn’t me they were looking at.
It was my hand.
“That…Your Highness. It can’t be.”
“Holy. Do you know about this ‘Holy Grail’?
The only one who reacted properly was Hannom.
Was he a human boy from Class D?
I don’t know the name.
The other children just looked curious as to why the things they saw in the exhibition hall were in my hands.
For those children who hadn’t reached the ‘level’, it must have been just a smartphone.
I chatted for a while with the guy who recognized the ‘Holy Grail’.
This guy wasn’t a collector, but the knowledge on this side was so close that the conversation worked.
Finally… Am I going to have friends of the same s*x?
To me, the word ‘friend’ was nothing but sweet sour grapes.
But not anymore.
I also made friends of the same s*x.
After talking to him
I put Yeonhwa 2.0 In my bag and wrapped it tightly.
It’s absurd to show such a precious guy outside again.
I will never take it out until I get to the palace.
“Whoa… I’m going to sleep for now.”
I crawled into bed and tried to sleep.
My body, which wandered around all day, couldn’t stand the fatigue
I fell asleep in less than a minute.
And the next day, when I woke up in the morning and checked my bag,
Yeonhwa 2.0 Was not there.
