Became the Weapon Monopolist of the Gods-Chapter 90: Artemis’s Relics (3)
At the entrance of the report, Vanessa and Jeanne, who had arrived first, were waiting for me.
“Seojun, did you choose the relic well?”
“Yes, you chose well.”
I answered and showed Jeanne the Bow of Artemis.
“That’s a bow.”
Vanessa asked curiously.
“Eungong, did you know how to use a bow?”
“I know how to use it moderately.”
I learned how to shoot a bow for a week at the Garden of the Moon, but I didn’t talk about it. It would be too long if I said it.
At that moment, Vanessa looked around me and said.
“I guess Artemis passed away.”
“Yes, she passed away first.”
“Hmm.”
Vanessa looked at the Bow of Artemis in my hand with meaningful eyes.
“Then that relic must be Artemis’s bow.”
I widened my eyes at Vanessa’s guess.
“How did you know?”
“Eungong suddenly brought a bow that he hadn’t used before, so I felt it. The symbol of Artemis is the bow. I guess I was right.”
Vanessa smiled brightly and said. Then she tilted her head.
“I thought you were learning how to use ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) a bow from Artemis, but since you already know how to use it, I guess not.”
“.......”
I awkwardly shut my mouth at her sharp guess.
Somehow, I instinctively felt that I shouldn’t answer here, ‘You already learned it?’
I should leave the story about staying in the Moon Garden for a week aside for the time being.
Just then, Jeanne changed the subject.
“Seojun, did you obtain the goddess’s holy relic?”
“Yes, it seems like you’re asleep.”
“What does it mean to be asleep?”
“It’s literally true.”
I told the two of them about the special nature of ‘mythical’ artifacts.
When a god falls asleep, the artifacts used by that god also fall asleep.
“So that’s why mythical artifacts weren’t discovered.”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Vanessa finally seemed convinced.
Even in Vanessa’s era, which was the era of great artifact excavation, mythical artifacts were not discovered.
In the era of humans, when the ‘age of gods’ came to an end, all mythical artifacts were asleep.
Artemis’ bow had not yet fully awakened either.
The bow that Artemis had was golden, but the one I had was just an ordinary wooden bow.
‘It’ll change when it fully awakens.’
I looked at the artifacts that the two people had brought, secretly anticipating how the bow would change.
Jeanne was holding a long branch in her hand.
"A staff?"
"Yes. It's a staff of protection."
I read the wooden plaque description that Jeanne brought to return.
[Reprobos' Staff of Protection]
Artifact Class: Ancient
A staff made from the branches of a palm tree that grew from the staff used by Saint Christopher, who carried Jesus across the river.
When threatened, a protective shield is automatically activated to protect the owner.
Magic Power: 1500
"You chose a good one, Jeanne."
"I'm going to change the flagpole of my flag to this staff."
"That's a good idea, isn't it?"
The flag Jeanne used was nothing more than a piece of cloth hung on an iron pole that was available on the market.
Since the one using it was the historically famous saint Jeanne, it could grow to the ‘Ancient Level’, but it could not develop further.
If the flagpole were to be replaced with the Staff of Leprobos, an amazing change would surely occur.
‘Relic fusion, I never thought of that.’
Since each relic had a different history and story, they were not easily mixed.
However, since it was Jeanne, a saint with the same attributes as the Staff of Leprobos, it seemed that it could be mixed easily.
Considering the length of the staff, it seemed inconvenient to carry, but it wouldn’t be a problem if you put it in the slot and carry it around.
Jeanne and Vanessa could store their own relics in their own slots.
Vanessa didn’t keep scissors around, though.
Looking at Vanessa’s skirt, I thought of the scissors holder that would be attached to the inner thigh.
But... ... .
“Vanessa, you brought some jewelry?”
“Does it suit you?”
“Yes, it suits you very well.”
On Vanessa’s head was a gorgeous spider decoration made of gold and black jewels.
The gorgeous decoration on Vanessa’s head looked like a noblewoman going to a ball.
The gold-crafted legs matched well with her gold eyes.
It must have been a very good artifact made by a famous craftsman.
I gladly read the woodblock description of the artifact she brought.
[Peter Faberge’s Cursed Black Widow]
[Artifact Grade: Ancient]
─ A spider hairpin made by Peter Faberge, a master of decorative art
The wearer can transform magic power into high-strength thread that is invisible.
Warning: If you fail to win the spider’s heart, the spider will eat you.
“.......”
I was silent for a moment at the description that was 180 degrees different from what I expected.
‘... Uh, um. The description is a little scary.’
From the name ‘Cursed’ to the warning that spiders would eat the user.
I could feel from the text that the person who wrote the description was extremely afraid of this artifact.
However, if I leave aside that personal opinion, I personally liked it.
This was an artifact that could continuously create thread as long as the magic power allowed.
Because of the nature of thread, it had infinite variable creation. However... ... .
‘You chose something really difficult.’
Usually, these types of threads or wires had high variable creation and were difficult to handle, so they were unpopular artifacts that hunters shunned.
Depending on who used them, their performance varied greatly.
The artifact that Vanessa chose was one of those types of artifacts.
Depending on how you used it, you could draw out abilities above the level, but if you couldn’t, it could be worse than nothing.
‘Vanessa will handle it well.’
I trusted Vanessa.
She was a woman with a brilliant mind that could even overpower Arthur Conan Doyle.
She must have chosen it because she could use it well.
Of course, even Vanessa would have to go through a lot of trial and error to handle it properly.
I believe that she will definitely become skilled if she continues to use it.
‘The relic grade won’t stay ancient forever.’
She was Vanessa Walker, the woman who twisted fate.
A great person with a ‘legend’ story.
If she uses it, that spider hairpin will someday become ‘legendary.’
“Let’s go now that we’ve chosen everything.”
After each of us chose our relics, we headed out to Kreuz’s report.
“Wow, the staff of Leprobos.”
Wolfram, who we met in the master’s room, made an interesting expression as he looked at the relic Jeanne had chosen.
“It’s the best relic to protect your body because it automatically reacts to enemies. You chose a good one.”
However, Wolfram’s expression hardened when he saw the spider hairpin, Black Widow, that Vanessa had chosen.
“Give that to me and bring me something else.”
I tilted my head at Wolfram’s negative reaction.
“Is there anything bad?”
“Rather than bad, that’s a monster.”
“Huh?”
“The transformed thread is so sharp that if you don’t handle it properly, the user will die.”
“.......”
“The previous head of the family bought it at the auction house, but no one could handle it at the time, so it was put in the report.”
Wolfram shook his head.
“I heard that all previous users died from Black Widow.”
‘So that’s what it meant?’
A chilling warning that ‘if you don’t win the spider’s heart, the spider will eat you.’
It was a phrase that meant ‘the user is cut by his own thread and dies.’
“If you heard it, I’ll choose another one.”
Wolfram gave Vanessa a chance to choose a new relic.
It seemed that he really didn’t want to let Black Widow out.
Black Widow was a cursed monster that called for ‘death.’
However.
“It’s okay. I liked this relic.”
Vanessa smiled brightly, as if she liked Black Widow.
“Did you listen to my explanation?”
“Yes, I did.”
Wolfram shook his head in shock at Vanessa’s answer.
However, since Wolfram himself had allowed her to take whatever relic she wanted, he couldn’t change Vanessa’s decision.
“Use it carefully. Try not to use it at all.”
Wolfram, who had been so earnest, blinked when he saw the relic I had brought.
“What is that?”
“It’s a bow from the report.”
Wolfram looked puzzled at the plain, featureless bow.
“Was this in our report?” Wolfram muttered. Even he, the head of the household, seemed to have never seen the Bow of Artemis before.
Well, it looked so old that it was impossible to tell when it had been there in the corner of the report.
It must have been dormant for so long that even the family that brought it in had forgotten about it.
“......Um, wouldn’t you like to choose it again?”
“I appreciate your offer, but I have to decline.”
“I made a mistake thinking that I should choose it with you.”
Wolfram looked shocked when he heard that one of them was carrying a cursed object and the other was carrying a worthless bow.
If he knew that this worthless bow was the bow of the moon goddess Artemis, he would be shocked.
Anyway.
‘I wonder if it’s really okay.’
I was a little worried when I saw the black widow on Vanessa’s head.
Judging from how much Wolfram was fussing around, it seemed more dangerous than I expected.
Vanessa felt my gaze and smiled at me.
