The inhabitants of Uruther suddenly noticed a colorful glow in the sky outside the city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

People who didn't know what this meant put down their work and began to pray fervently to this strange sight.

This bizarre scenery did not last long, disappearing after a short moment, and the sky instantly returned to calm.

And on the battlefield directly below the center of this wonder, a figure stood proudly, the sword in his hand stuck on the ground in front of him, and he looked up at the sky, as if to express the memory of the warrior who had just fought fiercely with him.

"I'm finally ahead of you. Master. After saying this softly, Chris closed his eyes, unable to maintain his already overdrawn physical strength, and fell to the ground on his back.

"Chris !!" There seemed to be Roque's anxious cry in his ears.

It's just that let's take a break......

……

In a small town called Latak, far away from the battlefield where Roque and the others were, a young girl in a swordsman's leather suit was hurrying down the street.

Judging from the few uncoagulated drops of blood on the thin sword hanging from her waist, I am afraid that she has just fought with some field ** not long ago, so the pedestrians on the road are a little afraid of this girl and dodge one after another.

Emilia herself seemed to be unconcerned about the strange eyes of the people around her, and the whole person quickly crossed several streets like a gust of wind, and finally came to a stop in front of a shop with a plaque of "Gold Medal Pawn Shop" hanging on the door.

Emilia's expression was a little cramped, and she seemed a little undecided.

But in the end, he gritted his teeth and pushed open the old wooden door, and suddenly a rotten breath came, which made Emilia sneeze several times on the spot.

"Hah...... Yawn! Emilia almost fainted from the smell, and she even suspected that she had walked into a tomb thousands of years ago.

"Hey—anyone? I'm here to get some money......" Emilia took out a handkerchief and covered her nose and mouth, otherwise she suspected that she would be poisoned here in the next second.

After a moment of silence, there was a fluctuating sound of footsteps from the dark corner behind the door, and at the same time an old voice came: "Don't worry, guest...... It's been a long time since I've had a customer, so I haven't cleaned the air much...... I'm really sorry to make you feel embarrassed...... Hehehe...... "The last weird laugh was enough to stop the child.

But even after losing the power of magic, Emilia didn't have the slightest worry about her situation, and she was naturally bold enough to watch the shopkeeper emerge from the darkness.

"You're Joseph the Treasure Collector?" Amilia's words made the old man, who had been quite normal, change his face in an instant.

"Who are you?"

"Looks like I'm not in the wrong place. I don't want to explain the specific reasons. I've come here to you primarily to exchange something with you. "A few years ago, while talking to her brother, Emilia had heard him mention a strange man, the Joseph in front of her.

“…… That day I handed Joseph a tablet with an unknown script that I had just found from a ruin, and he examined it carefully and agreed to the deal. In the end, I exchanged it from him for a special weapon called the King's Sorrow. The eldest prince Ace triumphantly took out a strange weapon that emitted a strange red light and showed it off to Emilia.

"Oh? If you want to trade items...... I don't care how you know about this place, there is a rule that all guests who come here to exchange treasures with me must abide by one rule. That is, no matter what items I get from me, once the transaction is completed, I can't go back. Do you understand? Joseph said lightly.

"Of course I do. But before I get to trade, I'd like to ask what the price would be if I wanted to designate an item with a special effect as a trade item. Emilia suddenly asked the question.

Joseph glanced at the young girl in front of him in surprise.

"Of course you can. But only if you can come up with a treasure that is enough to satisfy me. Joseph replied.

"No problem. I have a lot of precious treasures here, and I believe they will be enough to exchange them for the items I want. Emilia patted her chest confidently.

"So, first of all, tell me the type of treasure you want, as well as the approximate functional requirements."

"I need a jewel, if you have a property...... There is no requirement to attach 4D, it only needs to be accompanied by a special effect that has a chance to freeze the surrounding enemies when attacking. Is there such a treasure? Emilia had a look of anticipation in her eyes.

Joseph was silent for a while, and finally replied, "There is indeed such a treasure. Its name is 'Ice Princess's Frost Ring', which is said to be a treasure left behind by a princess of a dead country, so it seems to be called 'Cytheus'? ”

"That's great!" A stone in Amilia's heart finally landed. Originally, she was worried about whether she would leave for nothing, but now she finally had hope.

"But...... Regarding this ring, it is not a separate piece of jewelry, but a set divided into rings, bracelets, and necklaces. If I had this whole set in my hand right now, I wouldn't have traded it to you, no matter how much you paid for it. It's just a pity...... I only got one set part of this ring. Joseph's tone was full of regret, after all, with such a powerful special effect equipment, it is still a set, if you can put together a complete set......

"So, what kind of treasure are you going to trade it for?" Emilia couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when she saw Joseph's expression.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to open my mouth. All you need to do is give me a red breath of other-dimensional sanctity. Joseph uttered a very strange term.

"Divine aura from another dimension?" Emilia was stunned, as if she had heard of it somewhere.

"The so-called Divine Breath of another dimension refers to a strange treasure condensed from the remnants of the high-concentration laws of the Alien Plane. As for what it does, if you don't have it, I don't think there's any need for this transaction to go any further......"

"Wait a minute!" Emilia suddenly shouted.

"Is that red divine aura you are talking about a strange, temperatureless, flame-like object?" Emilia sketched a rough shape.

"It seems to be exactly what you say. So do you have one? Joseph asked.

"Yes. I have a lot of these things, not only red, but also green and blue, which one do you want? Emilia suddenly pulled out a pile of flame-like objects of different colors, red, green, and blue flames burned silently, but there was no sign of extinguishing them.

Joseph seemed to have seen the most comical scene of his life.

He never imagined that the precious treasure he had been thinking about for a long time would be taken out so easily, and it was not one, but a pile.

"How? Mr. Joseph, do you ......" Emilia looked nervously at the shopkeeper.

The muscles in Joseph's face twitched and he said, "...... No problem! It is indeed the treasure I want. And since you have so much divine aura......"

"It's okay! Anyway, it's useless for me to keep these things, so I'll just pack them all for you! Emilia was a tyrant with a 'I don't care' expression on her face.

"Ahem!" Joseph coughed awkwardly. The principles of being a businessman made it impossible for him to accept the gift of being his guest, but he could not say no words. Because he really needs this kind of thing.

So, after hesitating for a long time, Joseph took out two boxes from the space ring and put them on the table next to him.

Then he turned to Emilia and said, "Although this transaction is indeed a bit against my rules, I really can't refuse your generosity. Therefore, in addition to the trade items that I have already agreed upon, I will give you an additional treasure. ”

"Huh? Is it so pleasantly surprised? Then thank you boss, if I have the chance, I'll come back next time! Emilia excitedly stepped forward and put away the two boxes, secretly opened them and took a look, it was indeed a ring with an icy aura and ...... A necklace with a quirky style.

"Alright, the deal is done. If you don't have anything else to do, just leave. Joseph gave an eviction order.

"Okay. So boss, I'll go first! Emilia was in a very happy mood now, and she had gained a little more confidence in the road ahead after receiving two powerful pieces of equipment at once.

After the decaying wooden door closed again, and Emilia's figure disappeared, Joseph looked at the divine aura lined up on the table, and there was a tremor in his tone: "I finally ...... Finally able to build that set of equipment! ”

……

After coming out of the pawn shop, Emilia couldn't wait to get out of the town, found a place where no one was around, opened the box, and carefully put the frost ring on her finger, and shook it a few times in front of her eyes after wearing it, with a beautiful look.

"Huh? By the way, there is another box, which seems to be a necklace...... "Emilia seemed to remember something, and quickly took out another box, and took out the strange necklace inside to take a closer look.

On the chain of this necklace are three small figures in the shape of dolls, with no facial features and no limbs, and the style is very strange.

"Huh? What's going on with this necklace? It doesn't matter if it's not beautiful, why can't you feel even a trace of weight? Emilia, who thought the necklace was too light, tried to wear it around her neck, but found that she really couldn't feel its presence. She had already brought it, but she couldn't feel its weight, and this awkward feeling made her feel at a loss.

"I don't know what this chain is for...... The owner also did not state...... Forget it, just take it with you. Emilia soon stopped dwelling on the matter.

Just as she wanted to take out the map and identify where she was at this moment......

When it arrived, the figure suddenly burst out of the nearby woods and fell heavily to the ground.

"Damn! These guys...... Bullying me was just summoned here, and the 'Wind Breath Fighting Qi' is still adjusting its state and cannot be used for the time being, otherwise I would have cleaned you up a long time ago......" The young man who fell to the ground in front of him had bright red broken hair, was dressed as a light hunter, and held a cyan long sword that was slightly longer than the average sword body in his hand, and said through gritted teeth.

Emilia was taken aback by the sudden turn of events.

Who is this guy?

"Hey, hey, hey...... Boy, if you're unlucky, if you run into our 'Axe Gang' coming out to rob, hurry up and hand over all the valuable things on your body, maybe I'll be in a good mood and spare your life......" At this time, a big man with an axe jumped out of the place where the red-haired boy came out, and he knew that he was not a good person at a glance.

"Bastard! If it weren't for my physical problems, a guy like you, I would have solved it with one move...... Anyway, where was Farah summoned, it was obvious that they were summoned together, but they were inexplicably separated......" The red-haired boy jumped up from the ground and made a fighting gesture.

"These two guys...... Is it sick!? Emilia looked at the classic scene of roadblocks and robbery in front of her, and a funny feeling suddenly rose in her heart.

But just as she was about to speak, a mysterious fluctuation came from her chest, and a low whisper made Emilia stop her mouth instantly: "Collect souls...... I'll make you stronger! ”
