From then on, a month passed, and I discovered something that might answer what's inside that vault in the king's castle.
Occasionally, I go to the kingdom to walk a little, and sometimes Ryza accompanies me on these walks. William trains with Yanma during this time.
One of the times I was in the kingdom, I had the opportunity to enter the castle again, thanks to Ryza.
I didn't think I could find anything interesting, but I didn't expect to find a book that would give me the main theory about what's inside the safe.
I went to the library and, as usual, looked for some interesting books to read. Furthermore, I found some books very interesting, but I also found some very cheesy.
One of the books I picked up was called "The Legend of Klaw". A very promising title, but it seemed to be just a fictional story.
Another book that I only glimpsed on the shelves was called "The Secrets of Love".
I don't even want to waste my time thinking about why a book like this is in the king and queen's library...
However, what really matters is that I found a book called "The Encyclopedia of Weapons". The name is pretty self-explanatory.
It is a book that describes the most commonly used weapons in the world and even some exotic weapons.
I was a little surprised to learn that katanas existed in this world. Ninjato, nodachis, and kodachis—all these and many more variations can be found in the kingdom of Pandora.
Scimitars also exist and are on the desert continent, which was quite unexpected. It seems that sword patterns repeat themselves no matter which world it is.
Nah, that's too much of a coincidence. Maybe this world is some kind of alternate reality, or maybe this world is part of a multiverse. Considering that Void, the god who created everything, made this world and universe, nothing prevents him from making other universes...
I'm losing focus!
The most important part of this book is the Epic Weapons section.
Epic Weapons are weapons that were used by Supreme Mages and Swordsmen. And, because they have been used for a long time and constantly, they have a large amount of Embedded Magic in them.
This means that it is not necessary to have a strong assimilation with a specific god to be able to use them to their full capacity.
For example, if I picked up an Epic Weapon that contained the Sound God's Magic, I would be able to use that magic with less mana expenditure, but I would only be able to do so if I was using the weapon as an attack tool.
The book says that Epic Weapons are spread across the world in extremely secure locations.
Furthermore, all Epic Weapons are cataloged, but their location is not stated, nor are there any illustrations that show what they look like. They just say they exist.
With the death of the former Supreme Mage, I think they will have to update this book.
And that's where my theory comes in.
Why would a huge safe be inside the castle in an area that no one would imagine?
But this theory has some problems. Why would they need such a large safe to store just one weapon?
And why did you choose this specific castle?
There are many unanswered questions. I don't know if it's worth trying to see what's inside that place. I managed to gain the trust of the king and queen, and they are even letting Ryza leave the castle more freely.
I can't betray their trust...
In the book, it says that Epic Weapons are not destroyed due to the difficulty of breaking them. Apparently, a weapon gains resistance over time.
When I went to buy my magic wand, the man who sold it to us said that the difference between a cheap wand and an expensive one was its durability, perhaps this is related in some way to Embedded Magic.
Well, if Legorio hides an Epic Weapon, it means that this place could become a target for anyone who knows the location—in this case, me.
Princess Ryza once told me that Charmes, the former Supreme Mage, was friends with Tirey, perhaps this is another point in my theory.
For now, I prefer to just stay in the field of ideas. When I feel Tirey is open to conversation, I ask about the safe.
After reading about these books, another month had passed.
I went back to helping the villagers with the crops. I hadn't been helping in the last few months because I was too busy doing childish things.
Not to mention that charging a child to help with the harvest is quite immoral, so there was no one to complain.
Ryza is managing to leave the castle more easily without hiding or running away. I think this is a consequence of my actions. Speaking of Ryza, her magic has finally awakened, not that it's very important...
She inherited the Fire God's Magic.
She is the first person I know who has this magic. I think that, among the 4 elements, this is the best spell to attack.
And Ryza told me by making a small fireball with her hands, which was quite surprising.
