I Fell into the Game with Instant Kill-Chapter 87.2: Ruins of Cabolissa (1)

Chapter 87.2: Ruins of Cabolissa (1)

The place differed from other ruins and dungeons. It needed an item to enter.

An ancient magic stone.

This magic stone differed from the ones usually used to make magic items.

The limitation of magic stones was it could not be stored for a long period, no matter its purity.

That’s why there were always mages present at the teleportation point in the Overlord’s castle.

Although during the golden age of ancient magic, the magic stones produced and used by mages could store magic spells for a very long period.

That was why ruins and dungeons that remained and operated normally could exist.

However, in modern times, there was almost no similar magic stones left on the continent anymore.

This was because the materials necessary for crafting magic stones like this were no longer in existence.

It was also impossible to mine the remains of ruins and dungeons.

Of course, it didn’t mean that there were no remaining pure magic stones out there.

I remember the Overlord possessed one.

I didn’t go looking for her right away, but first I looked for the King of Earth Hill.

“Magic stone… Unfortunately, our royal family doesn’t have one, Seventh Lord.”

“I see.”

The King of Earth Hill said, looking apologetic.

I didn’t expect much anyway, so I wasn’t too disappointed.

In the first place, that kind of magic stone was a great treasure whose value could not be converted into money.

I let go of my lingering feelings and went straight to the Overlord.

“You need a magic stone the size of a fist?”

The overlord snorted in response to my words.

“I have some, but I couldn’t just give it to you for free.”

“What do you want?”

“Well… there are two more times the Seventh Lord has to do my request. If you agree to increase it by one, I will it to you.”

At those words, I clicked my tongue inwardly. Couldn’t she just give it for free?

He was reluctant to increase the Overlord’s request by one more.

“Are there other Lords who have magic stones?”

The Overlord replied with a smile.

“First Lord, Second Lord, Fourth Lord, and Eight Lord. As for the others, I don’t know. They may have them, or they may not.”

“…”

“I’m sad that you’re being so coldhearted, Seventh Lord. Do you really hate following my order?”

I thought as I listened to her sly words.

Except for the Eight Lord…

Fortunately, I could ask the rest of the Lords who had magic stones.

Because the First and Fourth Lords owed me, while I had the weakness of the Second Lord.

I thought about whom to go to and soon decided.

Actually, there was nothing to really think hard about.

Rather than going to the First or Fourth Lord to pay off their debts and receive a magic stone, it was much more profitable to go to the Second Lord.

Because she couldn’t settle her debt cleanly just because she did a favor for me.

After all, I had made a vague promise to give her an important information as long as she helped me

Maybe if the conversation went well, I could get it for free.

In the morning, we slowly prepared to leave the castle.

There was no proper cage, so Ti-Yong was in a large space on the side of the castle. When it saw me, it fluttered and tangled with excitement.

“Thank you again for helping us, the Earth Hill Kingdom. Have safe travel.”

I rode on Ti-Yong’s top while being escorted by the King of Earth Hill, Tair, the princess, and first prince.

I made eye contact with Tair one last time.

Since the war has been stopped, there would be no more dark clouds in Earth Hill.

However, looking at the awkward atmosphere between them, the conflict between the royal family must not have been resolved yet.

Tair also looked back, hopefully, he would reconcile with his family and solve their misunderstandings.

“Let’s go.”

When I tapped Ti-Yong, it flew up with a loud roar.

***

When we came, the Overlord accompanied us, but we separated as we returned.

The Overlord headed for her castle and I headed for the Second Lord’s territory.

Because the speed of the wyvern was so frightening, I definitely saved a lot of time after I got Ti-Yong.

If it had been in the past, there wouldn’t be much time left until the next meeting of the Lords, so I wouldn’t have had time to do this.

It took an instant to get from Earth Hill to the capital of the Second Lord’s territory.

I immediately visited the castle and met the Second Lord, and I quickly brought out the business I came there for.

“…You mean, you need a magic stone?”

“Yes, roughly the size of a fist.”

“You came out of nowhere in the middle of the night to ask me to give you a magic stone?”

“Yes.”

I shamelessly nodded to answer the Thunder Lord sitting across from me.

Her expression distorted with astonishment.
