Long before this, Vivian had mentioned more than once that the Knights had taken a great interest in Shien's so-called powerful Magic Item.
That was only natural.
Though he had succeeded through what was practically a sneak attack, a Magic Item that allowed a Level Ten novice adventurer to defeat a level seventy-Seven demon expert would be immensely tempting to anyone, wouldn't it?
With such a powerful Magic Item, one would have confidence in anything one did.
Especially for nobles like Beren and Magray, obtaining such a Magic Item would undoubtedly be extremely advantageous.
And if such a Magic Item could be mass-produced, there was no need to even think about how much profit and how many benefits it could bring.
Take Magray, for instance. When his father had learned of Shien's deeds, he had said with both envy and sourness, "If I had such a powerful Magic Item, I could defeat an Old Demon Faction wanted criminal too."
Naturally, if such Magic Items could be mass-produced, whether they were used to strengthen the Knights within one's territory or sold in large quantities for money, the benefits they could produce were simply unimaginable.
Unfortunately, Magic Items of such power were almost all precious treasures. Producing even one required gathering an unknown amount of rare materials, as well as the skills of an outstanding Magic Item craftsman. Most of them were also single-use items, so mass production was extremely difficult.
Thus, after Vivian and Ryley spoke on Shien's behalf and stated that there was no second Magic Item of that kind, everyone concerned with the matter, including Beren, felt somewhat disappointed, but they had already been mentally prepared and quickly accepted it.
That left only one question in their minds.
Why had Ryley not used such a powerful Magic Item herself?
