Galahad Mountain Range
After several teleportations to purchase materials, I’m thinking about my next destination while staring at a document on a plain. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I will pointlessly exhaust my mana if I repeatedly Teleport carelessly, so I have to think of a way to decrease the distance and the number of times I teleport as much as possible.
「Hmーm, the closest place from here is the Galahad mountain range.....」
It is the mountain range zone that lies in the far north of the kingdom.
On top of the extreme ups and downs, there are frequent appearances of high-rank monsters, so it is a mountain range where no ordinary person will enter.
By all rights, it is a place where a group of strong adventurers has to join to capture, but since I have Teleportation, I can advance through such a precipitous path and ignore the monsters.
Although it doesn’t change the fact that it is a danger zone, so I still have to give myself a bit more courage to pass through.
I’ve been to the Galahad mountain range several times, so I recall the scenery as I teleport there.
The scene in my eyes changes from the idyllic plain as I arrive at the precipitous mountain range area with its ups and downs.
Perhaps it is because of the high elevation that I feel the temperature is low and the air is thin.
Gloomy clouds spread out in the sky, and the vegetation in the surroundings is looking eerie.
There is the presence of something here and there, making me unable to calm down.
The client this time is a famous potter. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I can just teleport to the house near the summit, but they want to get the materials on the way to the summit, so I have to gather them along the way.
Honestly, I don’t want to gather the materials in the danger zone at all, but it is the client’s request so I have no choice but to do it.
「Let’s get some magic crystal first, I guess」
I recall the previous gathering spot and Teleport there.
I arrive at the cliff of the Galahad mountain range.
Looking down, there was a ravine, with large fish swimming through its gap, and 亜龍 drakes flying around while breathing fire.
「Uoh, such a scary place as usual」
A magic crystal is a crystal that rarely appears when it has absorbed abundant mana in the air.
Naturally, there are dangerous monsters gathering in a place with abundant mana.
「Umーm, magic crystals.....ah, there they are」
As I looked around from the cliff top, there were jade green crystals that looked like they jutted out from the cliff.
「Still, what an outrageous place. How does a normal person get it, I wonder?」
There are small footings and unevenness on the cliff, but no way they can go down there, right? Even if they go gather them, making full use of magic, it’s going to be difficult unless you can fly.
「I’m gonna Teleport carefully for now」
I confirm a place with relatively solid footings.
There’s a high chance I will fall headfirst down the ravine if I were to land carelessly, and the impact could also cause the footings to collapse.
I Teleport while carefully observing the destination.
「There we go」
I landed as soft as a feather in a hollow just enough for a single adult to walk through.
It doesn’t seem like the footings will collapse.
The magic crystals in front of me are releasing bright lights.
「Spatial Cut」
I cut the base of the magic crystals with Space magic. And then I store them in my subspace just like that.
Normally, you will have to dig them using tools such as a hammer or a pickaxe, but there’s no way to swing those tools on such unstable ground.
I hope you’ll forgive me for using a slightly forceful method since the footings will collapse after hitting if a few times.
「Umーm, next is that place over there and over there.....」
There are more places where the magic crystals jut out nearby, so I look for places with small footholds or depressions and Teleport there from one to the next. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Then I use Space magic to cut the base of the crystals again and store them.
「I wonder if this should be enough?」
I collected 5 magic crystals.
There are still a lot of magic crystals growing around, but to begin with, there were the high risks of no footholds and it being close to a monster’s nest. This is probably enough.
I teleported to the top of the cliff and quickly reached a safe zone.
「Fuuh, I returned safely」
I genuinely feel relieved having a secure foothold below me.
Just when I was about to rest and drink water from my water canteen, I suddenly heard heavy footsteps from behind me.
Looking back, I saw Sentimental Golem and Protect Golem (センチメンタルゴーレムとプロテクトゴーレム) there.
「……those look like something that person would be happy with」
The so-called Sentimental and Protect Golems are Golems made up of minerals for their whole body.
I will just ignore them if they are just ordinary monsters, but they are also materials the client will be extremely happy to get so let’s gather them.
Normally, they are monsters whose bodies are covered in hard minerals that basically prevent attacks and even reduce magic attacks but.....
「Spatial Cut」
The moment after I cast the Space magic, the upper half bodies of the Sentimental and Protect Golems slid to the side and crashed to the ground.
For someone who can use Space magic - that can disregard physical and magical defense - like me, they were only slow-moving monsters.
After checking that the two golems have stopped moving completely, I store them into the subspace altogether.
「If I have this much, this should be enough」
With many materials like magic crystals, Sentimental Golem, and Protect Golem, I’m sure even the client will be happy with them.
Once I finish gathering materials on the way, next I just have to teleport straight to my destination.
I recall the scenery near the client’s house and then teleport.
●
The client is living near the summit of the Galahad mountain range. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
A house made of logs stood there, as if hidden among the thick, overgrown vegetation.
「Hello」
After knocking on the door, the door opened, and a man appeared.
He looked like he was approaching middle age, but his back was straight, and his body was well-muscled.
「It’s Kureto from Emilio Company. It’s been a while, Orcus-san (オルクス)」
「……guess it’s about time you showed up. Come inside」
「Excuse me」
Entering the house, there was a mild scent of wood wafting in the air. It’s refreshing since most of the inside of the house is made of wood.
It’s a house made of logs after all, so the atmosphere is great.
「Sit wherever you like」
I sat down on a log chair in the living room when Orcus said that to me.
The furniture in the house was filled with what seemed to have been made by himself.
The ceiling is very high and gives the living room a sense of freedom.
There seems to be a much wider workspace beyond the living room, and there is a lot of tableware lined up there.
As I was resting while looking at the interior, Orcus brought back some tea.
Being thirsty, I immediately reach out and drink it.
It was a tea with a distinctive bitterness and sourness.
If I compare it to something, I guess it’s like a green tea with a slightly sour taste? I think it has a strange taste, but not that bad. It’s probably something picked in the Galahad mountain range.
「Here, the usual」
Just as I was relaxing after drinking the tea, Orcus brought back a large package.
Unfolding the package, there are all sorts of tableware inside.
All of them are ceramic works made by Orcus.
「Thank you very much」
Orcus is a famous potter, and the items he makes are said to be quite famous among the royalty and nobility.
However, it seems he dislikes the fact that he became very popular all around and so he moved tothe Galahad mountain range, where there are seldom people coming here.
As for why he would choose such a harsh place to live, it seems it’s because there are a lot of high-quality materials to make pottery here. I honestly think it’s amazing that you have the courage to move to such a place to create your works.
「Now then, this is the items sent by the Company」
「Let me check」
Living in such a remote place can be inconvenient.
The variety of food you can eat will be limited and there aren’t even clothes. Even getting materials you can gather elsewhere is difficult. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
So in exchange for Emilio Company’s support, Orcus will sell his created works regularly and wholesale. To put it simply, it’s probably closer to the relationship between Emilio and Lefyria.
Even so, whether it is with Lefyria or Orcus, Emilio’s personal connections are wide.
I heard that many nobles and merchants have the hobby of collecting paintings or pottery. I’m sure he probably progressed with his business by using the works he received as gifts.
「Also, here are the magic crystals I obtained along the way」
「Really, it’s amazing how you can gather them each time. Even I have to put in quite the effort to gather magic crystals.....」
「I have a special magic after all. Or rather, how do Orcus-san gather them normally?」
「That is, by climbing down from the cliff, right?」
「The footings are bad, and there aren’t that many of them, aren’t they?」
「It is bad, and there are a few of them, but it’s still there, right?」
Apparently, he goes down to that harsh environment with his bare hands to collect them. I feel that it is many times more amazing than me, who gather them using Teleport.
I know there are no ordinary person who lives in the Galahad mountain range, but his physical ability is clearly out of the ordinary.
「...was Orcus-san actually a famous adventurer?」
「No way. I’m just an old guy with a hobby of making ceramics」
Orcus snorted in laughter when I unconsciously asked that.
I feel likehe kinda dodged the question, but he doesn’t seem like a person who likes other prying so I figured I shouldn’t ask any more.
「I also have materials from Sentimental and Protect Golems, where should I put them?」
「So you defeated those golems! They’re such good materials. Put them outside the house」
「Okay」
I left the house to take out the materials and took out the remains of the Sentimental and Protect Golems.
Although they were split in half, they are still monsters that boast a height close to 4 meters.
The feeling of oppression you get just lining them outside is amazing.
「You cut those solid golems in half, huh. You have such a dumb look on your face, but you’re unbelievable yourself」
I’m happy to receive a compliment, but I think that comment about my face was unnecessary. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
