Chapter 96: 095 is bla-shifting again and again.
“Even before this, Vivian had ntioned more than once the great interest that the Knight Order had for Shane’s so-called powerful Magic Tools.”
“It was only natural.”
“Although it was by ans of an almost surprise attack that the success had been achieved, a Magic Tool that allowed a Level 10 Adventurer newbie like Shane to defeat a Level 77 expert of the Old Demon Clan, was bound to be alluring to anyone, wouldn’t it?”
“If one possessed such a powerful Magic Tool, they’d have confidence in whatever they did.”
“Especially for Nobles like Beren and Magre, getting their hands on such Magic Tools would undoubtedly be a very favorable affair.”
“And if these Magic Tools could be mass-produced, one didn’t even need to think about the profits that could be made and the benefits that could be obtained.”
...
“Take Magre, for example; his father, upon learning of Shane’s exploits, had enviously and sourly said, ‘If I had such a strong Magic Tool, I too could have defeated the fugitives from the Old Demon Clan Faction.'”
“Of course, if such Magic Tools could be mass-produced, whether it was to enhance the strength of the knights within their territory or to sell them off in exchange for wealth, the benefits would be unimaginable.”
“Regrettably, such strong Magic Tools were almost always of a treasured grade and expensive to make, requiring the collection of who knows how many precious materials and the exceptional skill of a Magic Tool master to even have a chance of creating them successfully, and most of them were one-ti-use items. Thinking of mass production was quite difficult.”
“Thus, after Vivian and Riley, on behalf of Shane, declared that there was no second such Magic Tool, everyone interested including Beren showed so disappointnt, but they were already psychologically prepared and quickly accepted the fact.”
“In this way, there remained only one question in the minds of these people.”
“That was, why did Riley, possessing such a powerful Magic Tool, not use it herself and instead generously give it to a completely unrelated newbie?”
“Moreover, this newbie was only Level 10 and had already turned twenty this year, not even having mastered a single Skill. With such diocre or rather extrely low potential, what made him worthy of Riley presenting him with such a Level of Magic Tool for protection?”
“It was completely illogical.”
“Yet Riley remained silent on the matter, rely acknowledging it unilaterally. Aside from that, she revealed no further information, leaving everyone else no choice but to give up pursuing the truth.”
“In this manner, to outsiders, Shane’s Magic Tool was considered a self-protection gift from Riley, while to Lu Muya and rica, it was claid to be a present from Tielle. Even if later Lu Muya and rica heard sothing else outside, Tielle could use the excuse ‘because President Riley asked to give it to him, just like the funding last ti’ to cover up this colossal lie for Shane.”
“But now, what had Shane said?”
“He said that the Magic Tools had been successfully mass-produced.”
“That made Beren, Magre, and even Leon, and Udilis—who was the only daughter of a Magic Tool Shop proprietor—their eyes light up all at once.”
“‘This…?'”
“Only Vivian and Tielle, the two insiders, showed a look of astonishnt.”
“On seeing this, Shane rely glanced at the two of them. They exchanged looks, their expressions shifting, and after hesitating for a while, they chose to be silent.”
“Under such circumstances, Beren took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Shane.”
“‘Is this true?’ Beren asked with a stern face, looking at Shane, ‘This isn’t sothing that can be achieved easily, you realize that, right?'”
“‘Indeed.’ Leon surprisingly also chid in from one side, whether intentional or unintentional, but like Beren, staring at Shane with a smile that seed pleasant as a breath of spring air, ‘Not to ntion whether Magic Tools of that Level could be mass-produced, even if it were possible, it’s hard to say if the creator’s skills would be up to standard, right?'”
“‘And the materials; such powerful Magic Tools definitely require very precious materials to create.’ Udilis, coming from a Magic Tool Shop background, made the most credible claim, sizing up Shane while speaking with a smirk, ‘You don’t an to say that you could et these conditions, do you?'”
“A re Level 10 newbie Adventurer, no matter how one looked at it, it seed impossible to et these conditions to mass-produce powerful Magic Tools.”
Therefore, even though everyone had their own thoughts, they couldn’t help but harbor doubts.
Shane simply chuckled and said one line.
“Of course I couldn’t do it,” Shane calmly stated, “However, there’s a very powerful mage in Lamijion who can manage this feat.”
His words surprised everyone at first, and then the expressions of several people changed in unison.
“…Are you talking about that one?” Beren asked, as if he had co to a realization.
“Yes,” Shane replied seriously, “Otherwise, why would she refuse to see anyone else and only agreed to see alone? It’s because she’s interested in that powerful magic tool!”
Who Shane was referring to was clear without saying; it was undoubtedly Laischa.
In other words, Shane had shifted the bla again.
The others seed to know a little about Laischa and didn’t dare to say more.
After all, if it was her, it might really be possible to recreate a magic tool of such level.
Because if it was her who had taken action, then the idea of obtaining a large number of magic tools or even the creation thod was undoubtedly very difficult.
Thinking this, Beren felt so disappointnt, as did Udilis, and even Magre looked dejected, while only Leon was furtively muttering to himself about “that one also appears to be a beauty.”
Only Lu Muya and rica still looked confused, but since Vivian and Tielle remained silent, they too didn’t feel like speaking up and just quietly observed.
“So, you’re testing out magic tools here on her behalf?” Beren pressed on with his question, putting aside his disappointnt.
“That’s right.”
Shane honestly responded.
However, in the next second, Shane’s tone suddenly shifted.
“These magic tools will now co in very handy, they must be thoroughly tested first.”
This statent caused another surprised pause from the crowd.
“Co in handy?” Magre asked bluntly without any reservations, “What does that an?”
Shane seed not to see Magre’s blunt manner at all, maintaining a cheerful deanor.
But the next mont, the words that ca from his mouth made everyone’s expression involuntarily change.
“No choice, since she has been pursued by the Old Demon Clan Faction for a full ten years, always reluctantly fleeing, now that she has gotten her hands on such powerful magic tools, of course, she wants to take her revenge, right?” Shane said with his usual startling frankness, “This is a great opportunity, Lamijion had to provide cover for your secret missions, deceive the eyes of the Old Demon Clan Faction, making them think Killian is still here, leading them all here.”
“Originally, according to President Riley, Lamijion needed to release the news after you had left for a certain period and were impossible to catch up with, claiming that Killian was already escorted away, to lead their targets out of town before the Old Demon Clan Faction made their move. Now it’s not necessary.” Shane expressed gleefully, “With so many powerful magic tools, Lamijion can simply counter and capture more people from the Old Demon Clan Faction. This is indeed a greater achievent than capturing Killian!”
Beren and the others quivered heavily.
Then, their eyes lit up once again.
