“A Sacred Treasure…”

The dungeons where divine artifacts were produced are said to be a crystallization of ancient lost technology, but the cause of its occurrence was still unknown. It was created by supernatural beings such as gods, demons, angels, dragons, etc., during the mythical era…or so they say.

In general, it is recognized as an amazing thing, although it’s not really clear what it is. The problem is the level of its greatness.

Clothes that don’t get dirty, shields that never get scratched, magic swords that can shoot slashes no matter who wields them, even if they were amateurs. These are still within the range of what one might find surprising.

Golems with combat power surpassing even dragons, long-distance communication methods with unknown principles, large-scale barrier magic that covers entire countries. These artifacts were being protected as national treasures by various countries.

The ring that controls visibility and invisibility that I possess was also a sacred treasure.

And as Milim said, it has become a kind of urban legend that the power of sacred treasures could not be fully drawn out to their original strength.

Well, in my case, I literally haven’t mastered its use yet…

“I’m half-elf and half-dwarf. I have achieved mastery in that path due to my infinite lifespan and natural talent in technology possessed by dwarfs.”

“Such a thing…”

‘I thought that the high elves had gone extinct…’

‘If such beings existed, then why…‘

“I see…we’re the same.”

“You and Him?”

“Rare species. Or rather, a precious survivor of the bloodline. Especially if you don’t have direct combat power, you have to hide, or you’ll end up being dissected somewhere, or captured by merchants or nobles and used as slaves.”

“I see…”

Even if you have excellent technology, if you don’t know how to protect yourself…

“Wait, hold on, according to what she just said…”

“Yes, he’s protecting me. In exchange for guaranteeing my livelihood, I give him excellent weapons and armor. It’s not really a balanced compensation, so there’s a separate reward prepared, but I’m just a selfless craftsman who only requests materials…”

“So you were captured by merchants but not turned into a slave.”

“Of course not. Even so, it seems you easily trusted me. This is my first time meeting a vampire, so I hope I haven’t been impolite without knowing it…”

“Don’t worry.”

“Haha…I’ll prepare your equipments right away.”

He was quite straightforward.
