165 Lion and Goat
“His Majesty has asked me to help you all.”
Take a look around the interior with the woman who is the custodian of the treasure house. An inventory has been made, so if you tell them what you want, they will guide you to the area where the items you want are kept. So it won't be that difficult to find what you're looking for.
In my case, it's a coat or a robe. This time, I would like to have similar armor for magicians. Grace, who can't wear armor, is going to look for clothes this time as well.
There were many types, but there was also the issue of size, and the ones that were suitable for practical use were naturally narrowed down.
What I'm curious about is the black coat... but I feel a strange magical power. When I put the sleeves through, the size changed to match my physique, so it was clearly not an ordinary item.
“What about this cloak?”
"It's said to be a chimera coat. It's used for self-defense by magicians, and it seems to have magical creatures built into it."
The manager says while looking at the thick catalog. Armor that incorporates magical creatures...Is it something similar to Ouroboros? It looks normal so far...
"It seems that the wielder can move magical creatures by supplying magical power."
says the administrator.
“Can I call you for a while?”
"please"
I received permission, so I tried passing magic through the coat...and the shoulders swelled up, and the heads of a black lion and a black goat popped out. The manager took a step back with a twitchy smile at the sight.
"This again..."
It seems that the lion can not only put out its head but also its front paws with sharp claws. These animals can change their appearance position to some extent, not only from the shoulder, but also from the sleeve or hem.
I see. It's a chimera. It seems that it moves by supplying magical power, and that it listens to my wishes and protects me in close combat.
They say it's for self-defense, but since it can unleash attacks with lion's fangs and claws, I think it's also effective as an offensive weapon. It will simply increase the amount of work involved.
Because they are magical creatures, they follow orders and move autonomously to some extent. As long as you wear it, you can control it completely and move it like a limb.
“What about the goat head?”
"In addition to headbutting with the horns, it seems that you can also exhale. It seems that the wielder needs to supply magical power."
"...It would have been perfect if there was also a snake."
Well, that role will be left to Ouroboros. That one is a dragon though.
For now... unlike a wand, it's not a magic activator, so there doesn't seem to be any worry about it putting a load on the magic circulation. And it can be incorporated into the magic circulation. In short, the reinforcement means that you can ride a lion or a goat... I won't know until I actually try it.
"What can I say...it's interesting."
You can think of combinations with a lion or a goat, or you can leave your hand face down to cause a surprise attack... conversely, it will also prevent the wearer from being surprised.
“Furthermore, since it is a magical creature, even if the cloak gets damaged, it can repair itself.”
It will match the size...and it will also require enchantment. Plus, it's self-healing. Isn't this a lifelong thing if you don't do it right?
"Hmm. I'll decide on this."
"Understood"
When the supply of magical power is stopped, the animals withdraw.
Okay. Let's take a look at what everyone chose.
"Um. What do you think?"
she asked after spinning around to show me the dress she was wearing. Grace seems to have chosen a black dress without much decoration.
Maybe... this is an extension of the maid costume. I don't think it would look out of place if you wear an apron or something like that on top of this. Grace tends to focus on functionality, but with this dress it seems that's not all.
"Yeah. It suits you. But...I feel a strange magical power in this too."
“It felt kind of strange and I liked it.”
The magical power I feel from the dress is similar to that of dark magic. That's why I like it.
"It's called the Moonlight Dress. It's said to be imbued with the power of the dark spirit. It's also self-repairing armor."
"I see……"
I nodded as the administrator explained while looking at the inventory.
Grace and I will both come to the front. Armor wears out a lot, so it's nice to have armor that can repair itself.
“Are you sure you want to settle on this?”
"If you like Grace. I think you're probably compatible with Grace, so even if I choose, wouldn't that be it?"
Grace smiles happily at my words.
Probably, just having it equipped will raise the overall level of Grace's abilities. For example, you will be able to demonstrate your full strength even under sunlight.
"What about Ashley?"
“I want this.”
It's a circlet with pearls and coral... This isn't just a decorative item either. All the things that look like jewels are magic stones, and naturally they seem to be magic-related items.
"Ocean's Queen. It says it enhances water magic."
In that case, does that mean that Ashley can strengthen both her attack methods and healing magic at the same time?
There were many parts of the treasure vault that I didn't know about. It's left up to everyone's discretion to a certain extent, but they seem to have chosen pretty good ones.
“What did you do, Marlene?”
When I asked, Marlene smiled and held it in both hands to show me something that looked like a lantern.
"This is called a phantom light... It's a little difficult to use, but it allows you to create and move illusions from a distance."
“Is it a magic tool for illusions?”
It would probably be suitable for Marlene, who basically works in the rearguard. You can protect summoned monsters with illusions, create saucers to disturb them, etc... Depending on how you use it, the range of possibilities expands as much as you want.
If you cooperate with Seraphina, you should be able to see an illusion accompanied by sound.
“What do you mean by difficult to handle?”
"It requires a high level of concentration and imagination to use. Genjutsu themselves are said to be difficult to master."
HM……. In that respect, there doesn't seem to be any problem with Marlene.
"This is me"
What Sheila showed me was a bracelet in the shape of a spider.
"It's an arachnea band. It can project sticky threads and webs from the spider."
"It's brutal again..."
I think it will become a considerable weapon when combined with Sheila's physical abilities. Even in the world of gladiators in ancient Rome, the style of blocking the movement with a net and then proceeding to kill it seems to have been all the rage.
Combined with the dagger throw, wouldn't it be a pretty good magic tool to use as a deterrent from medium-range range?
“What about Irum?”
“I have a bracelet too.”
A silver bracelet on Irmhild's left wrist. When the fingers of his right hand make a gesture of pulling it out of the bracelet, a magical glow is released - an arrow-like object is born.
"It's an arrow ring. You can create arrows from magical power. It's useless without a bow, but wouldn't it be useful for bow users who have a lot of magical power?"
"...It's definitely convenient."
You don't have to buy or make arrows one by one. It also frees you from the hassle of having to shoot arrows and then collect the ones that can be used or worry about what's left.
Originally, she mainly used bows, so even when using spells, she didn't have enough magical power. She also says that she is made from magical power, so we can expect the effects she can give.
"This is me"
What Seraphina brought was a horn that was large considering her body - a little smaller than a normal human.
"This is called a shutterhorn, and it's a magic tool used for attacks."
From what I've heard, it's a weapon capable of powerful sonic attacks. It's also the perfect weapon for Seraphina. Unlike when she was out of control, she didn't have the means to actively attack. Shooting weapons are also good. Seraphina is basically a rear guard.
“Was Claudia good?”
“Because I have already received various things.”
he said, smiling quietly.
This time, King Melvin has given her various favors, and since she won't be fighting monsters in the labyrinth, it seems like she'll be seeing her off. Just because she fought in the labyrinth doesn't mean that her ability as the administrator will improve, and she is also in a position where she has to suppress the consumption of her magical power.
“What kind of new equipment is Theodore-sama?”
"Ah. When you put magical power into it, magical creatures will appear and provide various support."
When I showed the lion's face from my shoulder, everyone's eyes widened. When you stroke its mane and throat, it makes a purring sound that is typical of cats, which is quite funny.
...I feel like it looks too intimidating... It's just a matter of not letting it out when it's not needed.
However, I gained more than I expected. As expected, it's the royal castle's treasure trove.
However, I also need to get used to the new equipment, so I have to train hard accordingly. But, when you start to see new challenges, it becomes... more fun, or rather, how can you say it?
