Chapter 19-1


    Duke Adiras Mansion, Sions room.


    It took Sion about two days to adapt to the flow of magic.


    Of course, he needed to be more familiar with it to channel it properly.


    But no matter how hard he tried, he couldnt contain this magic in a weapon or convert it into magic.


    The best way to utilize El Tesoikves magic is through Holy Arts.


    As El Tesoikve was a sword of light, and therefore contained inherent sacred power.


    Because of this, it was possible to implement Holy Arts, and healing and purification abilities followed naturally.


    <em>It will be difficult for me.</em>


    Sion obtained magic through the holy water made by El Tesoikve.


    Naturally, it could only be iplete, and the fact that humans possess the magic of a magic sword itself was almost a miracle.


    In some ways, it could be said that El Tesoikves magic had been transformed to fit the human body.?


    First, I have to get Exceed Rain and if I have a chance, I should learn Holy Arts.


    But he couldnt be sure he could learn it.


    Even the person who used both El Tesoikve and Exceed Rain couldnt do it.


    <em>Now, theres only one thing left.</em>


    Sion adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror, taking his money and entry tickets.


    He checked the auction house booklet every day, waiting for the item toe out.


    Since he found the item he wanted while being ready, he nned to go to the auction and win the bid himself.


    <em>If I miss it this time, I may never be able to get it.</em>


    The item Sion wanted to buy was a ck iron glove.


    It was a piece of equipment used by the subordinates of the 3rd demon king, and it had a deeply engraved evil magic, indicating that it was quite powerful.


    With the evil magic of the glove, he could easily draw out Exceed Rain.


    <em>When the timees, Exceed Rain wille out on its own But I cant wait until then.</em>


    Exceed Rain is thetest of all the magic swords and the protagonist meets it at the very end.


    Waiting until then would consume too much time, and during that time, Sion couldnt do anything.


    Instead of waiting, wouldnt it be better to go directly to where Exceed Rain is hidden?


    <em>I should be able to buy it with this.</em>


    Sion had all the money he had received from Fred.


    Most of the money he had saved up until then had been spent on buying the Limpia Macina.


    Of course, the money Fred gave him was not small, so if nothing special happened, he could safely bid for it.


    <em>If its really urgent, I could borrow from Hte but</em>


    Sion shook his head, rejecting the idea.


    Hte wouldnt lend him any money.


    She was here to gather money to run away, so she didnt even have the luxury to do that.


    <em>But I cant ask Duke to lend me money</em>


    What are you doing? Lets go to the auction house.


    The door opened and a familiar voice was heard.


    Sion turned his head towards the door, emptying his mind.


    If you dont want to go, you dont have to because of me. Im fine being alone.


    Who said Im going because of you? Im going because I want to.


    Just go to the usual ce you always go.


    If it were you, would you want to go back to ces youve been to many times?


    Oh, so you mean youre bored.


    Sion walks in with a smile, moving his steps.


    Hte scratches her neck with an annoyed expression.


    <em>Why am I even doing this</em>


    The ne, called the relic, was unnecessarily cumbersome and not particrly appealing.


    She thought it would be better to get a refund and return the money to Sion.


    But because Sion was always watching, she couldnt bring herself to throw away the ne.


    <em>I have to endure it, even though Im old. I cant let him do that again.</em>


    Since some time ago, Hte had been aware of Sions presence.


    Although Sion was a fairly decent person, he wasnt someone who was important enough to always be concerned about.


    Why were her emotions being shaken up for some reason?


    <em>Ah, how did I be attached to a child like this</em>


    You dont like the ne? Then take it off.


    Its fine. Ill wear it even if its because of you.


    Why are you ming me for this?


    Its because I cant leave you alone, what else can I do?


    People will think Im being dragged around by you.


    Its the opposite. Im the one being dragged around by you.


    Oh are you trying to argue with me again?


    Arent you tired? Why are you so insistent?


    Because my sister is like that?


    Sure, since youre so great, hurry up ande. How long do I have to wait for you?


    Well Until I die?


    Hehehe, are you calling that a joke?


    I guess its better than nothing.


    Sion passes by Hte with a refreshing smile.


    Hte is about to say something more, but she reluctantly follows behind him.


    <em>Are you saying that we should die together? Seriously its not even funny.</em>


    ***


    The capital of the Kingdom of in, the in Auction House.


    There wererge and small auction houses throughout the Kingdom of in. They were particrly concentrated in the capital, and some famous regions also handled auction houses.


    However, the auction houses in the capital held the most items, and many nobles and merchants resided in the capital, so they naturally had to travel near the area.


    What are you buying?


    Take a guess.


    If I guess right, will you give me something?


    Ill buy you drinks today, If you do.


    It sounds like its going to cost you a lot.


    Hte showed interest as she looked through the auction house booklet.


    Each page contained descriptions of auction items. In addition, you can also find recent auction items or the rankings of the most expensive auction items.


    If its your personality, youre probably going to try to buy something that doesnt make sense.


    What makes sense then?


    Nobles often look for things like paintings, pottery or jewelry?


    Unfortunately, youre all wrong. Two more guesses left?


    What? Thats a separate thing!


    When you speak, you have to be careful. Otherwise, the opportunity will fly away like this. Understand?


    Sigh alright. Its free drinks, so Ill endure it.


    Hte carefully examined the booklet because she wanted to save money. In fact, she had already given up on guessing the auction items, but somehow it was enjoyable.


    She had hardly evere to a strange ce and talked to someone before.


    Isnt this it?


    No, its not.


    Ugh then this one?


    Its right below it.


    What?


    Hte furrowed her brows and looked at where Sion was pointing.


    Shed thought hed buy something oundish, but who knew hed try to get something like this.


    Apparently, her fianc had a hobby for wasting money.


    Why do you need to buy this?


    I have a use for it.


    Why dont you buy proper armor or a pair of gloves instead?


    Its my money, so how about showing a little respect?


    So, do you want me to show respect for the ne you bought me too?


    If you do, Id appreciate it.


    Very strange, very strange.


    Hte closed the booklet and followed Sion.


    Sion took out the auction ticket and approached the employee.


    Hte was caught up in a faint feeling of regret as she watched Sions back.


    <em>I brought the money for no reason. Why am I even doing this?</em>
