"An artifact?" Robert repeated the word, his curiosity piqued. The source of thɪs content is 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝔫𝔢𝔱
"Yes, and a weapon, too. Take a look at this." Fyar took a small stone out of his pocket. It was the stone he had found on the body of the bandit he had killed.
Robert took the stone. He examined it meticulously, turning it between his fingers and weighing it in his palm. The old man then placed a hand on his chin, lost in thought.
Is it just a normal stone? Why is he looking at it for so long? Fyar wondered.
Suddenly, Robert let out a soft chuckle. "Not bad. This artifact can provide an anti-magic effect. It’s a fairly high-level artifact." He looked at Fyar seriously. "Why did that bandit have it? As far as I know, an artifact would never be entrusted to a low-ranking member. It’s quite suspicious."
"How do you use it?" Fyar asked, not particularly concerned with its origin.
"In various ways. Its main feature is that anti-magic effect. This stone is immune to magic that attacks it. For example, if someone used fire magic on you, but your armor was fitted with this stone, then the magic would have no effect," Robert explained. "Of course, physical attacks will still hit you. Also, this item is incredibly rare. Its price is probably around 609 gold coins."
Six hundred and nine gold coins? For a stone this small? Fyar’s thoughts raced. Damn it, should I sell it? But this stone seems like it would be very useful for me against magic users. Fyar weighed his options. It’s too small to be used as a shield on armor. So, how do I use it?
"Just make it into bullets, Fyar," Rasie suddenly suggested.
"Bullets?" fayr repeated what rassie say
Rasie nodded. "The stone’s effect is anti-magic, and you’re someone without magic. The stone can’t be forged onto your sword and it’s too small for armor. So, the best option is to make it into bullets because of its small size."
But this is still suspicious, Rasie grumbled to herself. Why was a high-level artifact on a low-ranking member? Did the bandit steal it, or find it? If that’s true, it’s incredible luck and a coincidence for that fool,
"Makes sense," Fyar said, breaking out of his thoughts. "How much would it cost to make this stone into bullets?"
"Mm, since the material is from you, the cost is just twenty gold coins. With a stone this size, you could probably make about seven bullets," Robert answered.
"Alright," Fyar agreed immediately.
"Heh, if I recall correctly, you said ’and a weapon, too’. What about the other weapon?" Robert asked, remembering what Fyar had said earlier.
"No, no need. It seems it’s just an ordinary weapon," Fyar replied evasively.
"Is that so. Alright," Robert replied, not pressing further.
Rasie then handed the payment coins to Robert. After that, the two of them left the blacksmith shop.
"Where are we going now?" Fyar asked as he walked beside Rasie.
Rasie sighed. "We’re going to the association to get your adventurer’s card made. After that, you can go home."
Fyar nodded . His mind began to form a plan. I’ve bought a katana, regular bullets, and ordered bullets made from the artifact. Robert said the artifact bullets will be ready in three days, which is pretty fast. Alright, now I just need to get the card, then eat and sleep. Tomorrow I have a training session with Zaefal.
An interesting thought crossed his mind. I wonder, could a hitman like me beat him in hand-to-hand combat? Fyar couldn’t wait to find out. The corner of his lip unconsciously curved into a thin smirk.
Rasie, who happened to glance at him, shuddered.
"Ugh, what kind of stupid expression is that?"
