The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power

chapter 19



19 – Research that should not be done – 1

Since ancient times, peace and song have always been in the same place.

Why don’t you say something like this?

‘War is trivial! Listen to my song!’ Same.

In that respect, this enchantment could be said to be a must-have for me, a pacifist.

To be honest, the enchantments I could put on weapons at this range didn’t mean much to me.

Increase the cutting power of the sword? You just need to put on the sword.

Increase the durability of the sword? You just need to put on the sword.

Increase the power of the sword? You just need to put on the sword.

Since most of the problems can be solved with the Sword Enchantment before riding, there was no need to obsess over the enchantment on the sword.

There are some magicians who say that they can also give properties, but that’s all you can do with ice or fire.

But the sword sings?

This is not something I can do.

How can you endure this?

“Oh! Are you interested?”

“The sword sings? Does it make you have an ego?”

“It is only possible for my master to have an ego… What I can do is, to be precise, add recording and playback functions to the sword.”

“Ah…”

I’m sorry. I thought I wouldn’t be bored if I let him have his own self.

But even so, I think the features I want are sufficient.

“Recording function…”

“Yes. Like this.”

– It’s a recording function…

“Whoops!”

My voice came from the dagger he was holding. While I looked at the dagger in amazement, he brought out another sword and showed it to me.

-Ah~ the peace and grace of the Lord~

Is this a chant? A beautiful voice sings with a pretty solemn performance.

“The maximum recording time and playback time are 10 hours each. It can be charged using mana stones.”

“Should I even charge it?”

“Actually, I wanted to make it automatically charge with solar power, but it’s not the lack of ideas that blocks the enthusiasm of the engineer, but the problem of funding…”

“That’s right.”

Mentioning the realistic problem, the man let out a sigh of relief.

“I don’t know why everyone is ignoring it when it offers such great features.”

“Sure. Anyway, that enchantment. I like it. How much does it cost?”

“I will only take five silver coins.”

I took five silver coins out of my pocket and held them out. Upon receiving it, he took the material from inside and began to apply it to my sword. And finally enchantment. When the soft light entered my sword and then disappeared, all the materials were gone.

“This is it.”

“You’re faster than I thought.”

“It’s not a very difficult enchantment. Now, I’ll explain the function. Once you hold the sword, you’ll see it.”

As he said, as I held the sword, a light rose near the sword.

L◀, ▶, ▶I, II.

While looking at the four patterns, he even brought the manual and continued explaining to me.

“As you can see here, ▶ is for play. It is for playing back what has been recorded. And ll is for pausing. And l◀ and ▶I are used to play the next or previous song in the currently playing song. Oh, and if you don’t want to see it, just think about it and ask it to go away. The same goes for recording and deleting recordings.”

As soon as you think about disappearing, the patterns disappear. Is it okay to think that what appears is just what appears?

Oh. It’s real

“Is this going to be real?”

After thinking about the recording, I talked and tried playing it again.

– Is this for real?

It’s real. When I was amazed, he grinned and clapped lightly.

“If you become a sponsor, we will send it to you as a test product when we add features or create new accessories. hahahahaha! Thank you for your support.”

“As for accessories…”

“There are times when you just want to listen to a song or the voice of someone you like. I’m thinking of adding a function that only you can hear by connecting the helmet with the sword and magic.”

“It’s interesting. You don’t do things like enhancing equipment performance like other people do?”

“Isn’t that what everyone else does? It’s not fun, so… I’m thinking of finally putting my ego into the sword like Master did. Then I’ll learn the song myself and sing it myself.”

That’s cool.

“If you support us, we will do our best for you.”

I put the gold coin I got earlier into his hand for support. The bright expression on his face is quite happy.

“I wish you success.”

“I’ll be in touch with the next addition. Where can I contact you?”

“You can contact Associate Professor Cecil Stein at the Academy. He is a vassal of the Stein estate.”

“Ah. And I’m Stephen, a magician at the academy. If you find Steven in the Academy’s Engineering Department, he will guide you to our lab.”

“Okay.”

Anyway, this enchantment. I liked it.

“If you want to record a song, it wouldn’t hurt to find a minstrel in a tavern.”

“The bar’s song is good, but I would like to record a song that symbolizes peace.”

“Then it would be better to go to the temple. There is also a temple in the academy. The temple dedicated to the goddess… Let’s see. The service will start in a little while. The choir sings during the service, so you can record it.”

Good luck. There is a choir in the Stein estate, but the temple here seems to be a much bigger place, so the choir must be even better.

As Lucy said, you had to go to the temple to receive the blessing.

I said hello to him and headed to the place he told me about. I was able to find a fairly large building.

“May the blessings of the goddess be with you. Is this your first visit to the temple?”

“It’s not the first time…”

“If you are here to worship, you can go here. If you are here to receive a request…”

“I have a letter of introduction.”

When I handed out the letter of introduction, the nun checked it out and then she went inside. She and she came out after a while and she opened the door.

“Please come in.”

It is definitely wide and big, probably because it is a temple run by the main church. Quite a few people were worshiping at a place that was likely to be several times the size of the temple they went to in the Stein estate.

As they pretend to find a suitable seat and offer prayers, those who appear to be a choir go up to the podium.

“aaa!”

With magnificent music, the choir members began to sing a chant to pray for peace. Can’t miss this one.

One song, two songs, three songs.

After singing a total of three hymns, the choir members went downstairs, and the priest, who went up to preach, spoke in a serious tone.

“The goddess protected us and gave us peace so that we can live. This means peace in the world. By doing so…”

You always say the right things. Okay. Peace is a good thing.

I just came to record a song and heard a good story.

After the sermon, the choir sang again. The good voices of the choir members along with the solemn music were enough to satisfy my ears.

“Then see you at the next service.”

After the service, people start to leave. It was when I was about to get up and leave, thinking that I wouldn’t have to stay as long as the service was over.

“Brother?”

“Yes?”

The priest who was supervising the service earlier called me. What? Did you get caught recording it?

“I am Rugal, a servant of the Goddess. You brought Sister Lucy’s letter of introduction, right?”

“Yes, it is.”

“Blessed… Would you like to come here?”

Following him, what I saw was in front of the statue of the goddess. He knelt before me in front of the delicately carved statue of God.

“The goddess protects us, so peace fills us…”

A solemn tone of prayer follows. When the prayer was over, a soft light was flowing through Rugal’s hands.

“Goddess bless you brother…”

The light in his hand passed to me.

Nothing has changed in particular, but I couldn’t ignore the gaze on me, so I smiled and nodded.

“You seem to be in better shape because you received the blessing from the goddess! hahahahaha!!”

“That’s fortunate. More than that, brother. Judging from the fact that you’re holding a sword, you seem to be an adventurer… Is that right?”

“That’s not it. He’s a vassal working in the Stein estate.”

“Oops. You’ve been rude.”

After slightly lowering his head to apologize, he let out a small sigh. It seems that there is something to worry about.

“Is something wrong?”

“That’s because one of our nuns who went yesterday to pick hyacin flowers to offer to the goddess hasn’t returned yet. Normally, she would have returned before today’s service…”

“Do you think you’re in trouble?”

“I think so. I usually go alone so I wasn’t too worried… But I’m more worried than this kind of person.”

Then I can’t stay still. Thanks to that, I also recorded some good songs.

“I’ll try to find it.”

“You’re not an adventurer… Would you mind?”

“hahahaha. I know how to do a little tracking.”

I learned the tracking technique to avoid being tracked while in Murim. I need to know how to stop it So it wouldn’t be too difficult to find one nun who wouldn’t have even tried to erase her tracks.

“In that case, I’d like to ask. Actually, I made a request to the academy, but… I received an answer saying that they couldn’t leave the search support if they didn’t come in for a day, so we were about to go on our own.”

“Okay… I see.”

“Then do you want money as a reward? Or holy water…”

“I’d like to hear more of the chant. Is that okay?”

“Is it a choir? That’s not difficult. There are a lot of choir rehearsals these days, so would it be okay if I invite you then?”

Oh. That’s enough to say thank you very much.

The place Sister Regina went to pick hyacinths was a mountain west of the academy.

It’s not very high, but the road is rough, so there was a story that climbing it wasn’t that easy unless you were skilled.

But to me it was no different from a flat land, so I walked roughly and found footprints that seemed to be chased by something in a place where hyacinth flowers were blooming.

Okay. Then we just need to trace these footprints.

The tracking itself wasn’t too difficult. It wasn’t because I didn’t work to avoid tracking like I did in Moorim.

As I followed the tiny remaining footprints, I saw a monster wandering around.

-Kreurreureu…!!

It was a wolf-like monster that I saw in the monster forest the other day. Seeing the three eyes flashing and drooling, it seems that he has something to eat in front of him.

“Sister Regina! Are you there?!”

-Kururrr!!!

Is it because of my cry? His gaze turned to me. And then rush right in, swordsman.

Leaving behind the monster that was split in half with a single blow, I went to the place where it was before and saw a soft light blocking the small cave.

“Haa… Haa… Haa…”

Inside it was a woman with jet-black bobbed black hair who looked pretty tired.

It seemed that the poor complexion would reach its limit soon.

“Are you Sister Regina?”

“Who…”

“I received a request from the temple of the academy and came to see the nun.”

“Ah… Thank you.”

As soon as she finished her words, she passed out. Looking at her like that, I noticed that there were other people inside her cave.

“Ahhh!!”

“Ahhh!!”

They were two little boys and girls. Seeing that, I get a sense of it.

“Guys. Did you secretly follow the nun? Fufufu… If you stay in a place like this… You might die.”

“Hey…”

“That, that’s… Ugh… I’m sorry! I’m sorry!!”

I ran into that monster while taking the children who secretly followed me, and in the end, it seems that I only endured like this to protect the children. I took Sister Regina, who passed out, and two little kids who were completely terrified.

But even though they were out of danger, the children were still afraid.

Then I should reassure you. I did my best to smile at the two of them, who didn’t know what to do.

“Just be patient and I’ll make you feel comfortable in no time.”
