Chapter 212 - The Search of a Certain Collector (Side: Collector)

A large figure walked alone through the frontier of the Dinrat Kingdom.

He was wearing an austere blue cloak with gold embroidery and a magic circle all over his body.

Underneath the cloak, he also wore layers of beautiful cloth of various colors that glittered and swayed in the wind.

He was also adorned with expensive metal bangles, rings, and earrings all over his body.

The face and arms peeking out from behind the thick cloak are covered with bandages, making it impossible to see them at all.

Although he was dressed in an odd and conspicuous outfit that could be recognized from a distance, there was no sign of a magical beast approaching, perhaps out of fear of the person.

There were five swordsmen approaching the bizarre figure. They were riding five communal horses and were all dressed the same.

They were the men of Alphonse, the First Prince of the Dinrat Kingdom.

The figure in the blue cloak turned to look at them and stopped.

The five halted their horses near the blue cloaked figure, dismounted, and stood in front of the collector.

In the lead, a handsome man with long, purple-blue hair raised his voice.

“We are the Elite Guards of the First Prince Alphonse. My name is Lontio. I believe you are the legendary adventurer and collector. We have been searching for you for a long time on the orders of Alphonse-sama.”

“…………”

The collector, as the figure in the blue cloak was called, smiled quietly.

-The collector.

It is a man who is considered to be the most powerful adventurer of all time.

The story goes that he has lived for more than three hundred years and has collected all kinds of treasures from all over the world.

“The first prince, Alphonse, is someone who will eventually become the king of the Dinrat Kingdom. It is he who has nominated you in person. Do you know how much of an honor this is ……”

“I’m not interested, okay? Do you think that I’m going to cling to a position now?”

The collector finally opened his mouth.

It was a croaky, eerie voice.

The Collector, you are facing a variety of charges. Stealing from ruins, grave robbing of mausoleums, even robbing the royal courts of other countries, supporting civil wars, assassinations …… Alphonse-sama is worried that it might be difficult for you to move around.

“Hoh? So If I refuse, you’ll kill me? Here? Me?”

“I’m not saying that, but …… with Alphonse-sama behind you, there will be no one who would want to kill you under such false suspicion. It’s not such a bad thing, is it?”

“Hoh, hoh! I see, I see!”

The collector laughed good-naturedly.

“I’m not interested! There is no one in the world who can do me any harm now! But …… I will ask you just one more question: What did that foolish prince, who suggested that he would hire me, offer you in return?”

The other Elite Guard knights who were behind Lontio expressed their anger at the collector’s mannerisms and drew their swords.

You can’t be disrespectful to Prince Alphonse, a candidate for the next king of the great Dinrat Kingdom, by using disrespectful language towards him.

I’ve been frustrated with the way the collector has been talking to me, but I’ve finally reached my limit.

“You! Even though we can’t carelessly go out……!”

“Don’t. I’m sure Alphonse-sama knew it was not going to be a simple matter. Collector-dono, of course, Alphonse-sama have prepared a reward for yourself.”

Lontio quieted the other knights and said to the collector.

“Fuhahahahaha! Then this makes the talk easier! Are you going to show it to me now?”

Lontio signals with his eyes to those behind him.

One of the Elite Guards grabbed a large box and placed it in front of the collector.

“Hmm, hmm.”

The collector opened the box with a coarse hand and picked up the sword inside.

It was a slender, golden-colored sword with gleaming decorations and magic circles. There are magical stones embedded in the hilt.

“Hoh.”

The collector took the golden sword and held it up to the sun.

“The name of the sword is “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz”. It’s a magical sword that shows its true value according to the owner’s magical power. For those who excel in both swordsmanship and magic, as you, Collector-dono, can’t stop wishing for it. I would like you to wield this sword for Alphonse-sama.”

In response to Lontio’s words, the collector flowed his magic power into the sword.

The golden sword instantly increased in brilliance and filled the area with a dazzling light.

The Elite Guards, including Lontio, were so dazzled that it was hard to keep their eyes open.

(I had heard rumors about …… The collector …… I never thought that it was this far. No matter how much magic a first-rate sorcerer throws at you, not even a fraction of this will shine through……! Alphonse told me to kill him if he makes it complicated, but this might be difficult even with five people working together. I’m not sure if it was a good idea to give them the sword first. That light………I wonder how powerful that sword is now……).

Lontio hid the impatience in his heart and smiled at the collector, in order to take the negotiations at his own pace as much as possible.

” “The ‘Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz” was commissioned by the then court blacksmith and court alchemist for a knight who served him by the second king, and was made with no strings attached to gold. It’s not only practical, but also has a high historical value. How is it, did you like it? Of course, that’s not all. Alphonse-sama has prepared a variety of other magic tools for the collector-dono.”

Alphonse thought that in order to involve the collectors, he would need expensive magic tools and weapons that would seem to be in the collectors’ collections, and he took the pains to prepare this sword.

“Hmm.”

The collector’s eyes were dazzlingly narrowed, but when he heard Lontio’s words, he moved the golden sword to his right hand and bent the fingers of his free left hand.

In his left hand, a large, martial sword appeared, taller than the collector’s height.

The blade is wider on the side of the tip than on the side of the handle, and the blade is more curved.

It has an impact, but lacked the practicality of its appearance. I can’t imagine it being wielded in a real battle.

(Teleportation of matter by completely chantless? It may be the power of some magic tool, but …… is such a dreamlike magic tool really real? But what will you do with that sword ……)

The collector raised his hands in the air, and the “Golden Empress Oro-Emperatriz” and the barrel of his huge sword clashed with each other at high speed.

The brilliance of the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz” reached its maximum and sparks flew in the area.

“Ugh!”

The impact of the two sword barrels colliding with each other caused Lontio and his friends to bend down and brace themselves.

As I moved away the hands that covered my face to block the dust, I saw the tragic figure of the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz”, cut in half.

The collector stood with an unconcerned look on his face, kicking the blade of his sword in the foot.

He also threw the remaining one to the ground, disinterestedly.

“Wha…… Wha……!”

“This sword is a piece of sh*t! Isn’t it just a dazzling blunt sword! I had a bad feeling when the king, two generations ago, had his henchmen make it!

“The Golden Empress Oro-Emperatriz is blunt, you say ……? Do, do you know how much this was worth for ……! Take back your words, collector!”

“Isn’t sh*t is a Sh*t! Then I’ll tell you again! sh*tsh*tsh*tsh*t! In fact, it cannot even withstand the blow of my sword! You want to add this useless thing to my collection now! I don’t care how many of these things are stacked, they’re not even good for your errands! You might even break it by accident!”

The collector laughed loudly, vulgarly, and sanded with his foot to the golden sword.

“You’ll have to tell your master! As it is, you’d be better off doing goblin bones and hiring a dog!”

“…………”

Even Lontio, as expected, expressed his anger at this manner of speaking.

His forehead wrinkles and he glares at the collector.

The collector stomped relentlessly on the golden sword and held up his own great sword to show off to Lontio and the others.

“But compared to the bones of this goblin, my beloved sword! Did you see that! Fuhahahaha! It’s cut in half in one hit! I thought if it could endure it three times, it wouldn’t be so bad to play along, but it’s a one-hit! Listen! I’ll remind you of the difference between this goblin bone you so unceremoniously boasted about and my beloved sword! You said that it is historically valuable because it was made by the second kings, and you said some nonsense, right? My love sword is one-half of the twin princes born in the ancient Kingdom of Bellandna, which was called the Swords Kingdom, eight hundred years ago, when the words of the astrologers put the power of the country to work! This is the sword, the righteous blade that destroys everything it touches, known as “The Righteous King Kolomuyskheida Ray”! That’s what makes it worthy to call itself the King of Swords!”

The collector, talking about how wonderful his collection is, goes about unloading the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz” prepared by Alphonse.

The five members of the Elite Guards are showing more and more killing intent.

Whether they know it or not, the collectors’ boasting never ends.

One of the Elite Guards couldn’t stand it and took a swing at the collector.

“It’s impossible for an uncultured barbarian like you to understand the value of the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz”! Besides, the sword’s true value is unleashed by the magic of its owner! It seems you are not strong enough to hold the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz”! That’s the magic stone of orc’s, isn’t it! It seems you look good in that big, tacky, stupid hunk of metal ……”

Before the man could say anything, the collector swung his great sword on the ground.

A roaring sound interrupted the man’s words.

“Do you think that an ignorant and idiot of worldly things can interrupt my words and disgraces my sword? That’s worthy of death! “

The collector shouted at him and twice slammed a large sword on the ground.

(It is no longer possible to win him over…… and since the treasured sword prepared by Alphonse was shattered, I will have to give him his head, or else I won’t be able to face Alphonse-sama! We must strike first before he becomes fully warmed up! )

After looking at the other members of the team, Lontio drew his sword and slashed at the collector.

The other four men also quickly split up and move to surround the collector.

(What we have to look out for …… is that huge sword that shatters even the “Golden Empress Oro Emperatriz!” Even though it is such a large weapon, even with my eyes, I can’t see through him. But no matter how much magic he has, He’s only human! We have to Enclose and cut him down ……)

The collector sticks out his free right hand to the approaching Lontio.

“Come on out, “Viper Torquepiton”!”

As if released from his right hand, a thick chain suddenly appeared, emitting a mysterious light, and approached Lontio.

“Wha-!?”

“Fuhaha! Watch out! Touch it and it will even corrode your mithril, it’s chains of death!”

Lontio hurriedly thrusts the sword forward to flick it, but the tip of the sword shatters and is deflected to the side.

In addition, the body of the sword discolored from the shattered area, and in no time at all, it was extending towards the hilt.

“Da-, damn it!”

Lontio threw the sword at the collector, himself kicking the ground and jumping to the side.

The chain bent unexpectedly and flicked the sword thrown at him, then changed its trajectory and followed Lontio.

“…… huh?”

“I forgot to tell you! The “Viper’s Torquepiton” has a demon sealed in it, a chain with a will! Fuhahahahaha!”

The poisonous chain bounced off Lontio’s body and wrapped itself around his body.

“Ah …… ah …… ahhhhh ……”

In the blink of an eye, Lontio’s entire body was discolored and the chains ate into his body.

As it was, the chain tore the rotten body of Lontio up and down.

“Boring! It’s boring! I can’t even try out my armor, which I’ve collected, if it’s all these small fry! Show me more resistance, you mundanes!”

“Dam-…… Damn this!”

The four remaining men slash at the collector in unison.

As the collector raises his hand, the chain that killed Lontio disappears. In the next moment, the poisonous chain from earlier reappears, centering on the collector and wrapping around.

As soon as it flicked the four swords, it poisoned their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, they were discolored all over their bodies and crawled into a crawling position on the spot, unable to stand.

They spit out their internal things from their mouths as if their stomachs were turned upside down, and some even spilled their internal organs out of their mouths and died.

“Haaaaah! Boring mundane people!”

The collector points his right hand to the sky.

A bow appears in the collector’s hand.

“You have made a mockery of my collection! Carve the power of my treasure deep, deep, deep, deep into your soul, and then suffer and die! That is the only atonement you mundane people can make for my sword!”

The bow floated through the air and left the collectors’ hands, and as it moved over them, it shot out dozens of thin arrows of light, piercing their bodies from foot to foot and above their heads.

The collectors snorted uncomfortably in front of the slaughtered bodies.

The most disgusting thing for a collector was to have his story broken and to have his collection disgraced.

“I thought there must be something worth seeing since I haven’t been to the Dinrat Kingdom in a hundred years, but all the people and things are still the same sh*t. If only they were weak, but not this uncomfortable! If this is the witch’s tower I’m looking for is a miss, It’s just a waste of my time!”

The collector narrowed his eyes and stared at the huge tubular building in the distance, the Witch’s Tower.

“I hope this Altamir guy is a bit of a handful. At this rate, I’m can’t test out the armor I’ve acquired,”
