Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

Chapter 266 Her Bracelet

============

[Armlet of Arika] (Owner: Nolen Heliox Kromet Von Aishwa Ethan Griffin)

---> This is an ancient artifact... quite a rare sight to see, indeed.

---> As the name suggests, this accessory belongs to one of the old goddesses of knowledge and wealth.

---> It is old, and the artifact is bound to this person.

---> Just like any other ancient artifact, this one is also something special and possesses impressive abilities.

---> It can store any number of things the owner wishes, increase the owner's concentration, stamina, and magic power by 30%, and is undetectable and inseparable.

---> The abilities are amazing, but even then, this ancient artifact is of the weakest level, (Star-0).

---> But even then, it's amazing to see something like this outside our magnificent tower.

---> Your mother... who definitely has a long name, is an awesome person~.

============

'Well, we have read worse names, darling. This one is at least ok~.

And I genuinely wasn't expecting this to be an ancient artifact, not at least of one of the 'old' goddesses.

And a bound artifact on top of that. Some of the rarest things we have ever seen, right?

And the feature of storing anything... well, I guessed at least that much.

But, the ability to passively increase those stats by 30% is definitely amazing~, right?'

Even I only had three bound artifacts or things like them.

The golden fruit, Ronna and Asta.

And even though there were some things with me and back at the tower which could be bound with someone, those didn't work with me.

In fact, aside from the three that I had, there was nothing much, even like this bracelet, that I can use.

The special things were in treasury and, well, I knew even in them, most of the good ones won't work well with me.

It was mostly because of just how very special protagonist material I was and the origin skill also played a significant part in this.

It was a problem, and the reason why there were very few things, even amongst all the ancient and divine artifacts I had, that went well with me, most probably was my origin.

These all things-

"Eon? What are you- oh? My bracelet. You can see what this is?"

I heard mom's voice in the middle of this train of thoughts and came back to reality and blankly took the strange cards from her hands.

She was looking at me with surprise and from the look in her eyes, I could tell not everyone knew about the fact that this artifact was an ancient artifact.

And she winked her eye, telling me to keep this myself and... I just nodded blankly.

It definitely was rare for the outside world to have people possessing these ancient artifacts and, as few people knew about them, was the best.

It could be dangerous because there had been wars in distant history just for a mere ancient artifact like this one.

This was precisely the reason why I always kept important things in the white crack and not in my storage bracelet.

The world was crazy, and I had no intention of falling into any kind of conflict.

And I had to thank the headmaster for that absurd gift... that stuff was invaluable in this outside world.

I already nodded at mom and she knew I understood her and that I would understand what these cards were on my own, so she just returned to her eating.

'Haaa... whatever~.'

It was what it was and thinking too deeply about things while dinner was a no-no.

But these cards were important.

One was my ID as the first son of this noble lady, my mom, and a noble identification.

A metallic golden card with my full name...

'Axion Heliox Kromet Von Aishwa Elanor Ethan Griffin...

And you called her name long.'

Well, it was just the empire's custom.

My name, Axion Heliox Kromet was my main name with my parent's name, Aishwa was the land bestowed on my mom after she received the title of count, same with Elanor, the land dad received and discovered in his searches of his dear son, and lastly...

'Ethan Griffin. A strong divine best and a place that this house guarded since the old times, even before the founding of the empire.

The archipelago of Griffins. The northern border of the empire. And the land of waters, ships and transportation.'

That place was our first home according to mom, and I had read many things about that place.

And from many things... I mean many, many, many~ things.

Pirates, ships, a long primordial history, special places and islands, secrets that no one should know, and locations of treasures that could spark wars.

That land was one of the most exceptional places throughout the old, ancient and new history.

But... unfortunately, I won't be going there for at least some years.

Everyone had work here. It was far away and we can't go there by the warp gate, and most importantly, the air route we would have to take was blocked by two ferocious (Purple) ranking monsters as they had made their nest there.

I had already heard many things from mom when had some special chat during yesterday's dinner and these creatures, though didn't hinder outside places, they definitely blocked the whole land and air routes.

It was a rare occasion and the creatures themselves were rare and so the empire decided to protect that area until the natural mating season was completed and they moved from there on their own.

And the estimated time period was... four to five years.

Well, they could negotiate with the other nearby territory, but... the land around that place falls under this empire's one of the genuine enemies.

And the royal family had no intention of asking for help from them.

They would rather use other methods like using veryyyyyy~ long routes, some rare ancient artifacts like [Gates], or use long sea routes.

Well, they are fools and we can't do much about things anyway.

There were capable people there, according to her, and if something happens there, we would have permission to use the royal palace's [Gate].

Well... I don't think anything would happen there either.

That place was strong... REALLY strong.

So, we will be able to go there after the situation and birds clear up.

And that was my name... my real name. Something that I only came to know after talking with them through those letters and all that was possible because of my dear master.

"Haaa... thanks, mom. For both of these."

My voice was genuine, and they all understood the meaning of that sigh.

And she just gave me a warm smile as a reply.

The first golden card was my original ID, something I might not use in any situation.

The second one was a blank purple card, something like the one Rein used back in the main city.

But that was an ID of someone who worked at a noble house, in the house of Atraxia in her case.

This one, however, was a blank card.

I was still not quite sure but I now knew how these ID cards worked and this one card was something like a blank slate for the cards of at least a noble servent's rank.

I was still practicing things but, I believed when I succeed, I can make this card an ID that can freely change according to how I wanted it.

From name to standing in society.

I can change this one to at least the rank of the one Rein had.

I will be able to change the colors and name, so, this would be something very amazing.

And... well, I was going to use enchantments, runes, and Solnova, so this would be something foolproof.

At least that was the plan, which no one aside from mom knew of.

This was a special card, different from normal ones, made from [Magirose], a special metal found only on an island with very high-density Mana, a perfect substance for what I wanted to do.

This was a personal experiment, but, mom was also interested in the results I would produce.

The procedure was too mechanical and theoretical that she didn't understand the thing, but she definitely recognized the value of this thing on the world scale.

She was a merchant at the end and if I was going to invent something like this for my personal fun; she knew I would naturally also invent the countermeasure for this thing.

Well, naturally I would do it.

It would be a cheat item and something very fun to play with.

That was it, but I still needed an ID for when I play around in the empire and for the academy.

Rein needed it, too. She naturally can't just use the IDs she had when she would join the academy.

We wanted a relatively peaceful life and as we were special admissions and council members, having a different identity would be best.

I had an idea of what I would do for that and she had the same thoughts as me.

And as we had decided yesterday... we were going on a date right after this lunch.
