Is It Bad That the Main Character’s a Roleplayer? Chapter 90

◈Episode 90 I Want to Talk (6)

I decided to stop by the Magic Tower first, but things changed.

I immediately accompanied them to the temple. It was so annoying that I had to go to sleep and see what happened to my dragon’s body!

“This is…”

As a result, what I was shown were numerous pieces of scales and horns.

“It’s only 1/4, but the dragon’s eyes and flesh were coveted by the magic tower and the lord of the castle, so they mainly took the horns and scales.”

The Archmage explained why it only had horns and scales.

It didn’t really matter. I don’t know what use the eyes or flesh had, but if you were going to make weapons, this would be better. It seems like the Archmages also took that into consideration when making their distribution.

However, the problem that arose….

“The color has changed?”

“It has become transparent…”

The dragon’s body that I dragged to the ground originally had a cloudy color overall. Anyone who sees it can think of ‘pollution’, ‘corruption’, and ‘infidelity’.

However, just like the two dumplings, the ones I encountered now had different colors and were somewhat transparent. Of course, I am not saying that it was as transparent as glass, but that it was that clear in color.

“It’s like a color I’ve seen before…”

“It’s like the natural color of a sea dragon.”

“ah! surely! Archmage is right. “Unlike the dragon we killed, the sea dragon we helped had this pretty color.”

“It certainly seems like that… But why did it suddenly change into that state?”

“That… I have no idea yet. “I’ll have to look into it.”

The color, as clear as a jewel, is extremely beautiful. However, I don’t know why the color changed while being stored and why it changed to such a pretty color even after it changed.

The dark blue color was still acceptable because of the black tone, but this bright blue doesn’t suit me!

“I’m glad though. “I imagined that someone had stolen it or damaged it or something.”

“Do you think the temple will store it in vain?”

No, thank goodness it’s not. The color palette doesn’t match. The color doesn’t match.

I placed my hand on the scales in despair, feeling indescribable despair inside me. Chi profit. Smoke rose and my hand started to burn, as if I had touched hydrochloric acid.

“…!”

I quickly took my hand away. Thanks to the gloves, my palms were fine, but my fingers had light burn marks.

“what!”

“Are you okay?!”

I withdrew my injured hand and glared at the scales. The scale that burned my hand was fine, with only steam-like smoke rising.

“What the hell is this…”

It seems that the Archmage, known as the Great Sage, could not have predicted this incident. She approached me with her light blue eyes wide open.

“no way?”

She looked at the scars and scales on my hands, then picked up a piece of scales. Even after seeing my hand burnt, I did it without hesitation.

“Archmage!”

“Ek Magistrate Nari?!”

But her hands were fine. The blue scales were held quietly in the white fur.

“You too, try your hand at it for a moment. “If I’m right, you won’t get injured.”

“Yes…”

At the Archmage’s request, Dev also touched it. I guess I was a little scared, so I just tapped it with my index finger, but it didn’t happen the way I thought it would.

The person who was confident took the piece of scale and fiddled with it.

“Are you okay…?”

“What’s going on with the large joint? Why only for demon knights…”

The Inquisitor who touched the scales for the last time was also fine. In the end, I was the only one who got burned.

My heart was hurt. Why is it only me…?

“I guess it’s because of Magi.”

The Archmage comforted me. She seemed to have finished her reasoning in that short period of time, and her words continued smoothly.

“For ancient beasts like sea dragons, negativity is like poison. So they have the power to reject negativity. “Like divine power.”

“Wait, that means…”

“However, the dragon we killed was corrupted by denial. That might be why there was no reaction when the demon knight touched it.”

The Archmage, who briefly silenced Dev by raising his hand, continued his final reasoning.

“One… What if the negativity that was in the corpse was slowly purified in the process of the temple storing it, and then the power to reject negativity was regained? If that’s the case, then the fact that the scales regained their original color and that only the Demon Knight was hit is roughly explained.”

There was no special basis, but it was a guess that perfectly fit the circumstances. Suddenly, I ended up being rejected by material items as well.

“…It was something like that. understand.”

for a moment. What happens when this happens? If a material item is the opposite of me… aren’t weapons or items made from this material also the opposite of me?

“…I also came into contact with an uncorrupted sea dragon. “If you have the power to reject negativity, why were you fine back then?”

I clung to the possibility of the unknown. Anyway, the color doesn’t match. I can just paint it, but if the item itself is the opposite of mine, I can’t use it.

I just wanted to stop that. I wanted to use equipment made from dragon scales!

“I guess it’s because the sea dragon tolerated you. “It’s the same way that you won’t get hurt if you come in contact with the Inquisitor right away.”

However, the truth that the Archmage presented was harsh.

“However, in the case of by-products, there is no brain to manage the power. That’s why he’s always spewing out his power… That’s probably why he got angry.”

The analogy was so perfect that I couldn’t even make an excuse that I didn’t understand it.

After listening to everything the Archmage said, I looked down at the scales with mixed feelings. Even if you use it because the color doesn’t match, you only get damage. Sadness rose like a flood.

All I got after going through all this trouble were material items that I couldn’t even use. What I’ve gained through hard work over the past month is material that I can’t even use!!

“I’m sorry about that. Demon knight. “If only I hadn’t said to leave it to the temple…”

“It’s not the Inquisitor’s fault. “Who would have known something like this would happen?”

Kimchi Dumpling looked at me carefully. Dev seemed to have similar thoughts and did not speak easily. That was even sadder.

It really hit me that my precious material was gone.

“….”

no no. Even a rat’s hole has its day when the sun shines. Rather, isn’t it an opportunity? What is opposite to me is also opposite to the devil.

If we use this well, wouldn’t we be able to create an effective weapon to slay demons? If only the handle of the knife was made of a different material, I would be able to hold it too! I rarely touch the blade anyway!

A thought that occurred to me gave me hope for a moment. In short, the hope was to throw away the armor and make just one weapon.

“If you make a weapon out of this, do you think it would be effective against demons?”

“…be effective.”

Then let’s make one! Let’s make just one sword! Just cover the blue with paint!

“But… if you’re planning on using it, wouldn’t it be a little difficult?”

why?!

“Even if you put everything else aside, there is a high probability that it will explode due to repulsion the moment you apply force.”

…God is dead!!

* * *

The Inquisitor was restless with the overwhelming feelings of regret and guilt. She could have entrusted it to the Adventurer’s Guild, but she was the one who decided to entrust it to the temple under the pretext of security.

But I never thought it would become toxic and create a situation like this.

At this point, I think it would have been better if it had been stolen. You can get that back, but you can’t get this back.

“If we study more… we might be able to artificially corrupt it.”

“…! “Is that possible?”

“It’s not difficult.”

You intentionally create injustice and corrupt people. She reflexively frowned and then opened her eyes to see the demon knight looking down at her scales.

Infidelity is definitely something that needs to be purified… but corruption should never be forgiven…

In the first place, the owner of that dragon’s corpse was a demon knight. She can’t stop him from making it available for himself.

This is especially true because the denial and corruption are not intended to harm others, but rather are used to save others.

Physiological reluctance is truly unavoidable.

“I guess you don’t like it, noble priest?”

“I didn’t say that…! “I’m just a little reluctant to have it that way…!”

I didn’t say anything, but why is that loser fighting again!

She gritted her teeth and glared at the thief. A sword said to have been given by a demon knight dangled from his waist. That was even more annoying!

She doesn’t know why, but… Anyway, after she boasted to me about being recognized by the Demon Knight, just looking at that face made me feel disgusted to death.

“you…!”

At that time, Archmage was astonished. The head of the Inquisitor, who had been trying to decide between right and wrong, turned reflexively.

Chi profit.

The demon knight was holding his scales again, risking his burns.

“lily!”

“Demon knight!”

“Are you crazy?”

They called urgently, but the demon knight did not lower his scales. Instead, he drew magical power into his hands. The magical energy that normally resided only in the right arm mixed with magical energy and flowed out through the left arm.

Chii Iik.

The conflict between the scales and the surging black energy intensified.

Empty!

In the end, the scale pieces broke into pieces and flew out in all directions.

I saw fingers that had melted red and gloves with many holes.

“I can’t use this.”

The wound was serious at first glance, but the Demon Knight’s expression was calm. Rather, he seemed to be calculating something as he stared dryly at the scales that had bounced off.

“Isn’t there a point in testing it in such a cruel way? “Give me your hand.”

“Not yet.”

With his injured hand, he grasped a scale other than the one that had been thrown away.

“lily!!”

“It hurts the cow’s hand!”

“Take it.”

Fortunately, the demon knight didn’t hold it for long. Instead, the scale that fell from his hand flew through the air and landed on her hand.

“Take a look at it with divine power.”

“yes?”

The Demon Knight’s spell was somewhat unexpected, but the Inquisitor followed it without realizing it. When the demon knight gave her instructions, he did so unconsciously because there were many urgent situations.

“…!”

The divine power she imbued radiated with a brighter light than expected.

This was comparable to a shield or mace smelted from star metal. Suitable for divine power. Or rather, it seemed like it was amplifying it.

Although the acceptance itself was a little less.

“How about it?”

“It seems like its divine power is amplifying.”

The Inquisitor conveyed this impression without leaving out a single word. The Demon Knight, who had still not given his hand to the Archmage, listened quietly and extended his hand in the other direction.

It was the minus part.

“ah!”

The thief thought for a moment about the hand outstretched to me, then pulled out the sword he was wearing at his waist and handed it to me.

“Hey, Nari. “Healing wounds.”

For the first time, I wanted to agree with the thief, but the demon knight was the same as always. He calmly held the sword with his left arm and infused magic into it.

Although the magical power was transferred to the sword, it did not feel like it was becoming particularly stronger.

“…Is that more efficient?”

After a small mutter, the sword returned to the thief. The next thing caught was the dagger that the demon knight was carrying hanging inside his clothes.

Cough!

The dagger that struck the scales with magical energy broke. In return, the scales also cracked, but not to the point of splitting.

The broken dagger was thrown to the floor.

“Make it armor. Then it will be useful.”

“yes?”

The Inquisitor was momentarily confused after hearing the demon knight’s words. I know he was testing something, but the conclusion was making armor.

Aside from how unexpected it was, I wondered if that was even possible. It is questionable whether it can be used as a sheep, and demon knights made in that way will not be able to use it.

he is… Because you have negativity in your body.

“…are you sure?”

However, unlike her, Archmage seemed to have noticed something. The Inquisitor hurriedly asked her with his eyes.

The devil knight’s thoughts were always beyond her imagination, and she could not figure out his intentions on her own.

“Are you planning on handing it over to the Inquisitor?”

Just because you hear someone else’s reasoning doesn’t mean you can understand it right away.

* * *

I looked down at my left hand, suppressing the urge to cry. If you shout that you will continue to deal with this situation, you are just an idiot.

“Make it armor. Then it will be useful.”

So what can you do? I have no choice but to hand it over to someone who can use it better than me.

“Are you planning on handing it over to the Inquisitor?”

“yes? Are you saying you’re giving it to me?!”

I memorized the lyrics of Cheongsanbyeolgok over kimchi dumplings, which received a better response than meat dumplings.

Still, my sore stomach did not get better easily. This may be because, while back in the days of Dev, there was an alternative to making it again with materials left over from the mainland, there is no such option now.

“Why?”

However, using that as a reason to insist that I will use it is even more foolish.

I can’t use weapons made from that 100%. That’s what it meant when skills couldn’t contain magical power.

On the other hand, Inquisitor is very compatible with that. I’m done talking about it at the point where it gets amplified.

This is material that needs to go to the Inquisitor.

“…Are you really planning on giving it to her?”

No, then who will I give it to?

It has just been proven that even if I corrupt it and use it, it won’t be as effective as the Inquisitor.

I recalled the moment when I imbued the sword I handed over to Dev with magic. The sword gently accepted the magic power, but did not amplify it.

Efficiency is said to be a landslide victory for the Inquisitor.

Of course, there are also methods I use, even if they are less efficient. But does my concept really welcome artificial corruption?

“If you wear it on your weak body, it will at least be less of a hindrance.”

In addition, I… Let’s admit it honestly. Now that I’ve decided to use a regular iron sword, the weapon has no meaning to me.

To kill a mob with 10 health, isn’t the result the same whether you inflict 10 damage or 100 damage? However, the goal of upgrading the specs is simply the gamer’s desire.

But the Inquisitor is different. This guy sometimes takes off his armor because of its weight.

If you are the type of person like me who wins with steady hold rather than explosive deals, this is a fatal penalty.

However, this material is lighter than iron. If you make armor with this, you will have less time to take it off. Of course, penalties due to equipment will also be reduced.

Looking at the damage there, if the Inquisitor wears this, it will be easier to suppress me when I go crazy…

At this level, it is still right to invest.

“You…”

“Ah, demon knight…”

“Knight Sari…”

That’s right…

“I understand. “If that is what you mean, I must respect it.”

“Thank you! I don’t know if I can accept this, but I will work harder!”

“Nari, you have a lot of courage.”

…I won’t go back on my decision, but it’s unfair!

My dragon scale sword!!
