Chapter 96

Before this, Vivian had mentioned more than once that the knights had paid great attention to Shien's so-called powerful magical equipment.

This was a matter of course.

Even though it was a successful ambush, a magical equipment that allowed a newbie level-10 adventurer to defeat level-77 Demons was extremely tempting to anyone, right?

If one had such a powerful magical equipment, they would have the confidence to do anything, especially for nobles like Baylon and Margray.

For nobles like Baylon and Margray, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for them if they could get their hands on such a magical tool.

If such a magical tool could be mass-produced, the profits and benefits that could be obtained from it were unimaginable.

Take Margray for example. When his father learned of Shien's deeds, he was extremely envious and sourly said, "If only I had such a powerful magical equipment, I would also be able to defeat the wanted criminals of the Old Demons Faction."

Of course, if such a magical equipment could be mass-produced, whether it was used to strengthen the strength of the knights in the territory or to sell it for money, the benefits would be unimaginable.

It was a pity that such powerful magical tools were almost all precious items of the Rare Grade. To make one of them, one would need to collect countless precious materials, and one would need to have the talent of an outstanding magical tool master. Moreover, most of them were single-use items, so it was rather difficult to mass produce them.

Therefore, when Vivian and Lily expressed on behalf of Sean that there was no second magical instrument, everyone, including Baylon, who had been paying attention to this matter, was a little disappointed. However, they were already mentally prepared and accepted this matter in an instant.

Therefore, there was only one question left in everyone's mind.

That was, with such a powerful magical equipment, why didn't Lily use it herself? Why would she be willing to give it to a newbie who had nothing to do with her?

Furthermore, this newbie was only level-10 and was already 20 years old. He hadn't even learned a single skill. With such mediocre or extremely low potential, why would Lily give him such a magical equipment for self-defense?

This was completely illogical.

However, Lily remained silent and only admitted to this matter. Apart from that, she didn't reveal any other information, so everyone could only helplessly give up on pursuing the matter.

Just like that, to outsiders, Shien's magical equipment was seen as a gift from Lily for self-defense. To Lucia and Merica, they claimed that the magical equipment was a gift from Tierre. Even if Lucia and Merica heard about it later, Tierre could use the excuse of "President Lily asked me to give it to him on behalf of her, just like the funding from before" to help Shien cover up this huge lie.

But now, what did Shien say?

He said that the magical equipment had been successfully mass-produced.

This made the eyes of Baylon, Margray, Leon, and Eudilis, the only daughter of the magical item merchant, all light up at the same time.

"This …?"

Only Vivian and Tierre, who were in the know, were astonished.

In response, Shien only glanced at the two of them. Their expressions changed, and they looked at each other. After hesitating for a while, they chose to remain silent.

Under such circumstances, Baylon took a deep breath and stared at Shien.

"Is this true?" Baylon stared at Shien with a serious expression. "This isn't something that can be done casually. You should know that, right?"

"That's right." Leon also spoke up. It wasn't clear if it was intentional or not, but he stared at Shien just like Baylon. With a smile like a spring breeze, he said, "Let's not talk about whether a magical equipment of that level can be mass-produced. Even if it can, it's hard to say whether the craftsman's skills are up to standard."

"And the materials. Such a powerful magical equipment must require very precious materials to be produced." As someone who came from a magical equipment merchant, Eudilis looked at Shien from head to toe and said with a faint smile, "Are you going to say that this is a condition that you can fulfill?"

No matter how they looked at it, a newbie adventurer who was only at level 10 could not fulfill these conditions and mass-produce a powerful magical equipment.

Therefore, although everyone had their own thoughts, they couldn't help but have their doubts.

In response, Shien just laughed and said, "Of course I can't.

Of course I can't. " Shien said with a straight face, "But, there is a very powerful mage in Lamigion who can do this."

His words startled everyone at first. Then, a few people's expressions changed at the same time.

"… Are you talking about that person?"

Baylon asked as if she had understood something.

"Yes." Shien replied with a serious expression, "Otherwise, why would that person not want to see anyone but me? It's because she's interested in that powerful magical equipment! "

Needless to say, the person Shien was referring to was Lésia.

In other words, Shien was passing the buck again.

The others seemed to know more or less about Lésia, so they didn't dare to say anything else.

After all, if it was that person, it might really be possible for them to recreate such a powerful magical equipment.

That was because if it was really that person who made a move, it would undoubtedly be very difficult to obtain a large number of magical tools or even the production method from that person.

Thinking of this, Baylon was a little disappointed. Eudilis couldn't hide her disappointment either, and even Margret looked dejected. Only Leon's eyes darted around, and he muttered to himself, "That person seems to be a beauty too."

Only Lucia and Merica didn't know what was going on. However, since Vivian and Tierre didn't say anything and remained silent, they didn't want to say anything either. They just watched quietly.

"So, were you asked by that person to test the magical equipment here?"

Baylon suppressed the disappointment in her heart and continued to ask Shien.

"That's right."

Shien answered honestly.

However, in the next second, Shien suddenly changed the topic.

"Next, these magical equipment will be put to great use. We have to test it out properly."

Such a statement caused everyone to be stunned.

"Put to great use?" Margret said without hesitation. "What do you mean by that?"

Shien didn't seem to notice Margret's rude attitude at all, and he continued to smile.

But in the next moment, the words that came out of his mouth made everyone's expression change.

"It can't be helped. That person has been hunted by the Old Demons for a whole ten years and has been on the run all this time. Now that he's finally got his hands on such powerful magical equipment, of course he would want to take revenge, right?" Shien said without giving up. "This is a great opportunity. Originally, Lamaegion still needed to cover for your secret mission, deceive the spies of the Old Demons, and make them think that Killian is still here. That would lure them here."

"Originally, according to President Lily, Lamaegion needed to wait for a certain amount of time after everyone set off, and when it was impossible for them to catch up to him, then release the news that he had already escorted Killian away. This was to lure the Old Demons' target away from the town before they made their move. Now, there's no need for that anymore." Shien said happily. "With so many powerful magical equipment, Lamaegion could easily kill the Old Demons and capture more of them. This would be a greater contribution than capturing Killian!"

Baylon and the others immediately shuddered violently.

Soon after, their eyes lit up again.
