There Are Too Many Bugs in the Academy

Episode 73

24. Dancing with Artel (4)

Since the last triad, I got quite a bit of money back in reverse.

There were no sunny days in the account balance for a while, but now it is rather full than the last time.

Didn’t I say that I’m not new to life?

That part was very fitting.

“Are you really not going to sell this?”

“For now. Unless it’s broken, the value won’t go down that much, right?”

“As long as it is an alloy of Elysium and Jin Eun-seok… but it won’t be worth 20,000 Kelly.”

“Even if it’s 15 million, it’s a good thing.”

“Well, it’s up to the student to choose. Still, I’m sorry.”

An appraiser who has no appetite again.

When she clearly stated her intention to refuse, she did not recommend any further sales.

“Then the next thing… it’s kind of a strange thing, isn’t it?”

She lifted the brass tiara that had been lying there. It was the crown Aaron Nortonhale wore all the time.

“If you check the ingredients, it’s obviously pure gold. The color isn’t pure gold. It’s not mixed with other metals either.”

“Ohh.”

First of all, it is a pass from being special. It was to the extent that I couldn’t even determine the grade even with my emotions right now.

“Some kind of mysterious power lies behind it, and it’s not magic, it’s not a curse, it’s not a rune.”

“Then what!?”

“We don’t know either.”

“Yes?”

It was an unexpected answer. You haven’t seen my face right now, but I’m sure you’re doing something stupid.

“It’s true. We don’t know either. The wizards working in our management office and professional appraisers in other fields said they didn’t know…”

“No, what if the appraisal office doesn’t know what to do? You don’t even know the grade?”

“Yeah. I don’t know. The emotional machinery doesn’t work.”

It was an absurd situation.

So, you’re saying that it wasn’t a useful item, and it wasn’t an expensive item, it was a japtem?

“No, of course! Pure gold is something we can vouch for, so you can get it for a pretty high price in a jewelry store. Don’t be too gloomy!”

An appraiser who hurriedly rectifies the situation.

‘Aaron Nortonhale came out of nowhere in the first place, so there’s no way the drop item would be normal.’

Perhaps it is an item that has been implemented, but has not yet set an exact setting.

It looks like there is something, but when you look closely, there is no real value.

Even if it’s not a bug, it’s bound to leak quite a bit from the standpoint of the victim.

“You should be satisfied with just this. If the manastone price was settled, you would have made quite a bit of money.”

It is quite the magic stone of the corps commander (candidate). Even if it was divided in a certain proportion with the members of the expedition, it would cost quite a bit.

A chicken instead of a pheasant, I decided to be satisfied with the magic stone and 20,000 Kelly worth of anti-horse armor.

“Then go in!”

When I was about to leave the appraisal office, leaving behind the appraiser who sent me off with a lively voice.

“Wait!! Stop!!”

Behind him, he hears a hoarse voice, as if he had smoked four or four cigarettes at once.

“…?”

A land fairy with a long brown beard protruded from the side door inside the appraisal center.

The appraiser had the same look of embarrassment.

“Sir? You’re not coming today!”

“You idiot! Didn’t I tell you in advance if the owner of the crown came to visit?!”

“Ah…! That’s right!!”

“There are things to forget and things not to!!”

Tight!

The land fairy, who suddenly opened the door, jumped up to the appraiser’s head with amazing jumping power, and blew a powerful chestnut.

An appraiser who rolls the floor with a clear sound.

“Aww!”

Wow, that must hurt.

While I couldn’t hide my admiration for the power that I could forge.

“There you bastard!!”

The old man who realized true gender equality with his body came running to me without even paying attention to the tumultuous appraisal.

Are you planning on hitting the nightmare?

You want to wrap your forehead in the threat you feel instinctively.

He snatched the crown in question from my careless hand.

“What, what! That’s mine!”

“Who’s talking!? I’ll see you for a second, so just stand there and wait!”

A land fairy who steals other people’s belongings and goes to the counter.

I was also upset, and I rolled my eyes and glared at him.

“No, I’m just saying let’s see this dwarf.”

He threatened with a grim expression on his face, but he didn’t even look at him.

Instead, he looks like a scientist who is exploring the truth of the world.

He just mumbled in disbelief.

“Unbelievable…….”

“What, what the hell is it?”

“You bastard, what’s your name!”

“It’s called Baeksanwoo. What’s your attitude when you steal someone else’s stuff?”

“Baeksanwoo kid! If you’re going to discuss your attitude with me, come older than me! Latte…!!”

I immediately fell in love with the land fairy, even mentioning her name and betting a bonfire.

‘Are you crazy?’

This was a clear declaration of war. I pulled the crown he was holding with all my might.

“Ahhh!! Give me my stuff!! You thief!! If you keep doing that, the red ginseng candy will be confiscated!!”

“Red ginseng? How did you know that I was eating that…!! This bastard, you are not a thief!!”

Why are you fighting such a fierce battle?

“Stop!! Stop it!!!!”

The appraiser, who had recovered from the shock of the night, interrupted and shouted.

The overheated atmosphere subsides at the sound of a crisp, ringing voice.

“Sir!! What rudeness is this! Even so!”

“What do you mean you know! This is the key to the revival of our race!”

Tribal revival?

Hearing those words, I pulled out the power holding the crown.

Perhaps in the midst of it, the land fairy lost her balance and fell.

“Aigoo! Humans are catching the Earth Fairy!!”

A person who throws chestnuts at a girl is shamelessly a victim cosplay.

I can’t afford to be ripped off any more, I just let out a deep sigh.

“Grandpa, what are you talking about?”

“Literally. This is the memento of Aaron Nortonhale, the prince of a fallen clan that fell through the fall of the Magi!”

As soon as he heard those words, his reason froze coldly.

‘How did you know it was Aaron Nortonhale’s memento?’

The appraiser did not respond to what he had said a while ago, but instead continued to push the old man.

‘The appraiser doesn’t seem to know.’

Few people know for sure the truth behind this case.

Perhaps even the Dungeon Management Department is judging that the series of incidents were the actions of the Spider Queen and the Death Prince.

“Grandpa, where did you hear that?”

“What are you listening to? Not even listening and sleeping…!!”

I exchanged glances with the land fairy without saying a word. As if he had grasped my hidden intentions the whole time, he opened his mouth slightly.

“No… ah… maybe it’s you?”

Then, the eccentric land fairy points to the door through which she came in with a serious expression.

“You bastard, no. You follow me. Punsu, open the door to the appraisal center.”

“Eh? Sir? What else are you talking about?”

“Oh, don’t say anything, because it’s open soon!!! Would you like to taste Nochin’s chestnut one more time!?”

“Okay!! Okay!”

She is surprised and opens the door to the appraisal center.

In my opinion, it was clear that the old man of the land fairy in front of him had a branch office.

“Come on in.”

“Follow me!”

I greeted the eyes lightly and followed the land fairy without saying a word.

“what……?”

In a momentary storm.

The appraiser looked confused in many ways.

* * *

The inside of the emotional chamber was much wider than expected. If the previous place had the feeling of a counter serving customers.

This place feels like a ‘workshop’ where real emotions are carried out.

At first glance, a dozen or so people were sitting at their desks, concentrating on something.

From jewelry and other handicrafts to items imbued with magic.

These are the experts who evaluate the numerous items flowing into Paradise School.

“Sit there.”

The stocky, heterogeneous workshop was the innermost among them.

Fire pits and small furnaces.

Seeing that there was also a whetstone for sharpening weapons, it was an unstoppable blacksmith.

He placed the crown in question on the workbench and asked as if questioning.

“How did you get this crown?”

“Of course I got it from Aaron Nortonhale.”

“Are you talking about yourself!?”

“Then it’s you, isn’t it fake? Well… I’ve become an undead, but if it’s you, it’s you.”

“Oh My God.”

The land fairy shook her head. Every time he moved his face, his brown beard flew around.

“Did you see it for yourself? What did it look like!”

“He looked exactly like the Death Prince, not to mention his appearance. His body was torn apart, leaving nothing but leather. A red glow in his eyes…”

I just described the appearance of the guy I encountered in the gold mine.

“Axe! Have you ever had a big axe?”

“It was destroyed in the middle of a fight.”

“Ummm…! It’s unfortunate, but I’m glad if it’s lucky!”

“So what is it, after all? I know it’s Aaron Nortonhale’s crown.

“Twitch… that punter made a mistake again. It’s natural that he doesn’t know. This is a weapon sealed in the way of an ancient land fairy!”

As if confident, the old man slapped my chest.

After looking at it, I decided to get straight to the point.

“What do I have to do to unlock that seal?”

“It depends on how it is sealed… According to tradition, Aaron Nortonhale melted a spirit into his armor.”

When I first met Aaron, I remembered what Lioner had said.

‘Obviously, I said to him that he was a Cheolcheon supporter who uses weapons made from grinding spirits.’

The land fairy put her back on her back and cleared her throat and continued her speech.

“So a medium to appease their grudges is essential.”

“A medium?”

“I need a race that is friendly with the spirits, the blessing of Artel, and a fruit that can awaken the spirits.”

I felt out of breath. Could there be such a coincidence?

Originally, I was planning to go to Artel’s dormitory tomorrow and sneak a peek at the Fruit of Saenggyeong.

Even if the timing is exquisite, it is too exquisite. It was such an amazing moment that I thought that the system had been built.

‘You’re lucky.’

It wasn’t something that could be swept away.

“…Ummm.”

“I know it’s difficult. That’s just the story.”

The old man looked up and added. As the saying goes, it was an almost impossible condition in a general way.

In the main story, Artel’s blessing can only be received from Ishtar after breaking Act 4.

Even in the case of the Department of Saenggyeong, even after clearing up to Act 5, there was a restriction such as receiving once per semester.

I was in trouble for a while.

Is it right to keep focusing on this?

Obviously, the crown I got from Aaron was probably something I had never seen before.

As a gamer, it is unavoidable to be curious.

But at the same time, it’s inevitable that this event is an extension of the gold mine.

I decided not to create any more variables right away.

The reason I accepted Ishtar’s invitation was because I thought there would be no major problems in the story.

And it was also because he had to acquire a useful item called the Fruit of Saenggyeong.

However, Aaron’s crown is different.

As the appraiser said, there’s nothing wrong with just taking it and selling it.

Alternatively, there was a way to hand over the ownership to the land fairy in front of him by asking for a reasonable price.

‘What’s the best? … .’

The purpose of securing items with good performance in the first place was half achieved.

Having obtained the breastplate that occupies the largest area, it is not too late to match the rest of the parts.

‘Lioner, what do you think?’

【It’s your choice. I’m very reluctant to say that you use Aaron’s belongings. Only if it can save the spirits caught in it. I can’t be any better.]

Even with that said, the Lioner must be willing to accept.

Because I knew from the beginning that Lioner loved the same spirits terribly.

‘Because you helped me when I was in trouble. Now it’s my turn.’

“Grandpa, what’s your name?”

“You mean my name? Hamel Hallud.”

I reached out to Hamel and added.

“Like you said, I’ll get the catalyst, so I’ll ask you to break the seal.”
