Dear Broom Knight

#244 - Hell of Artifact Fragments

The light of dawn is always fleeting. The bright rose gold slowly faded from its orange-red hue, and the gentle sky, like a light blue veil holding steam, also became clear and distinct at the same moment.

Even Ruth Kania and Laurie, who had simultaneously released isolation barriers when they began discussing this topic, couldn't help but feel a slight unease due to the overly distant and stern autumn wind.

To put it bluntly, they felt that the will of the world might notice them because of their nonsense... although this should just be an illusion.

Even if they thought highly of themselves, they really weren't worthy at the moment.

Therefore, even with the unease, neither of them intended to end the topic.

After all, even if Laurie and Ruth Kania were so close, some topics closely related to personal privacy couldn't be brought up without a suitable opportunity or if one party didn't want to cooperate.

Ruth Kania simply rolled over, saying with a mysterious expression, "But, Laurie, luckily you only got this little thing.

Look, those strong individuals who were thriving back then, whom even we White Dragons had to avoid slightly, have all become legends.

The power of artifacts, how can it be so easy to use?

Fortunately, our world completely separated from the Astral Plane in the beginning; otherwise, who knows how many accidents would have occurred!"

She narrowed her eyes slightly, with a hint of ambiguity in her tone: "Those guys drifting under the Astral Plane don't easily receive information about soul fragments, and when that information is transmitted to the Astral Plane, it briefly loses direction, getting lost outside the world for a moment.

As long as the interception is fast enough, there won't be any problems.

Therefore, those artifacts that have consumed all their power can only become junk."

It's estimated that the White Dragons have done a lot in this regard.

No wonder the White Dragon King would believe such an unbelievable thing as the Night Goddess having feelings for him... They did have private contact, and it's estimated that they got along quite well.

Unfortunately, the White Dragon King probably doesn't understand that politeness due to seeking help from someone is not a blessing.

Ruth Kania bared her teeth at Laurie: "Don't think that after so many years, these artifact fragments are still often found in this world; it's not surprising at all.

However, fragments that fall now are no longer worth paying attention to."

She gently tapped Laurie's brow with the tip of her claw again: "The reason this thing entered your mental sea is not because of your luck, but because it was attracted by your soul aura.

Laurie, just like me and Travis, no matter how much it helps, the one who truly benefits is it.

Therefore, when using artifacts, you must be generous.

When you discover that it has intelligence reassembling, don't hesitate; directly suppress it with mental power and become its master.

Artifact spirits are even more shameless than us White Dragons. Once they think they're capable again, they'll think that mortals like you... Ah, I'm so uncomfortable saying this!

But, in the eyes of those artifacts, as long as you're not a god and can't provide them with the aura of laws, you're a mortal.

Even if you're very strong, even if you've lived long enough, even if it wouldn't even have a chance to reassemble without you.

But as long as you're resolute enough, neither looking up to it nor sympathizing with it, and simply turn it into your slave, it will be very obedient, worshiping you, and even brainwashing itself.

It's better to pretend to be a pure fool; then you can live a happier life.

What does it matter if others secretly mock you? Who can say it to his face?

Compared to those people, Laurie's only advantage, at least in his own opinion, is that even knowing that his struggles will ultimately lead nowhere, he will still struggle consciously in pain.

Although he tried so hard and hoped to find a way out, his academic performance was terrible.

No matter how hard he studied every day, he was just on the borderline of a junior college.

Insufficient intelligence and poor memory are really a disaster. He just couldn't do it.

Of course, he also understood in his heart that if he had persisted on the path of art like others when he was very young, it might have been much better... To put it bluntly, he must have had some talent to be able to touch the basic line of the art academy by relying on the foundation he had in his childhood and the crazy efforts in his last year of high school.

But after leaving the free environment of the school, no one would be willing to spend money on his hobbies.

Therefore, no matter when, Laurie was very grateful to his country for giving all children a line there.

A family that can be said to be wealthy, no matter how much they calculate in their hearts, cannot possibly not let their children go to school.

They will even try their best to ensure that their children, even if they don't value it that much, have a school to attend... Not studying after graduating from high school is simply a disgrace to those so-called traditional families that value appearances.

It does cost a lot of money for Laurie to study art, but... if he were to attend those private universities or even so-called business schools, it would cost even more.

Moreover, it wouldn't sound good.

Faced with the same expenses, Laurie's parents would naturally choose the more cost-effective option.

Otherwise, Laurie wouldn't have had the opportunity to discover his talent and hobby.

Then, Laurie, who flew out of that home, unhesitatingly adhered to the path of painting... whether rich or poor.

He thought about it and thought that his only advantage seemed to be an almost fanatical obsession.

Other than that, Laurie couldn't think of anything special about himself.

Then he instantly realized that he had been led astray by Ruth Kania.

The artifact in his mental sea was still a bit different.

At the very least, ordinary artifacts couldn't create so many special oddities just by reading Laurie's memories. Of course, it might not be his memories... Laurie wasn't completely without feeling; he was indeed brought to this world by this guy.

So, that guy should have read his computer as well.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

After all, even if he could dig out the most superficial memories in Laurie's memory, he couldn't copy things that he hadn't even seen.

As Laurie's development of the virtual game in the dimensional space became higher and higher... thanks to his infinitely expanding, numerous, and high-quality Knights of Living Feather Light... he saw many things that he certainly didn't have in his memory.

He was someone who liked to find surprises in games, so he didn't pay much attention to those achievements that he couldn't achieve in a short time.

Of course, he would still appreciate the main storyline, after all, there were things like background images.

Unfortunately, he never expected to change the scenery for his manor in this lifetime.

Laurie actually had some guesses about the origin of his artifact.

After all, there aren't that many artifacts from the fantasy world that can easily read games composed of computer programs.

And in several famous wars in the multiverse that led to the fall of powerful deities, there was indeed one related to the existence he guessed.

Laurie blinked, quickly calming his mental sea, which was fluctuating because of associating with certain things... Although Ruth Kania's speculation about the level of his artifact was wrong, her words were not wrong at all.

Laurie's artifact fragment did have a bit of activity due to his increasingly powerful mental power.

Although it was still as rigid as ever, it still made Laurie feel a slight difference.

In fact, other people might not have such a keen sense.

However, for Laurie, who studied painting for many years and was particularly sensitive to lines, easily seeing the different emotions and auras contained in oil paintings that seemed indistinguishable to outsiders, that slight abnormality was as obvious as a loud announcement.

Just like the great lake under the sunlight at this moment, every ripple was different in Laurie's eyes than in the past... not because the lake surface had expanded, but because the substance that made up the lake water was different from the past.

Well, the reason why the lake water hasn't been completely lost due to the deep gully in the middle is because Ruth Kania added a thick layer of ice in the middle from the beginning.

Otherwise, even if the underground river next to it was smashing down like a waterfall, it couldn't withstand a 2,000-meter-deep gully!

What water could remain?

However, because of the existence of those ice layers, the reflectivity of the lake water under the sunlight was completely different.

Including the ripples splashing outward, there were some insignificant differences, and the distance between the circles was slightly larger.

Laurie quietly observed the small dot in his mental sea for a while before saying casually, "There's no problem for now."

Ruth Kania pressed her head on her front paws, revealing a smile: "Even if the aura on your body is useful enough, it's impossible so quickly!

For these artifact fragments, our world is simply hell.

When they cause trouble, they still follow the original logic.

After regaining their sanity, they first entice the mortals who control them, and once greed arises, it's easy to be suppressed by them... until they become the true master.

Then, they will use the mortal's soul to steal the world's power of laws, and when this soul reaches the point of dissipation due to their wanton absorption, they can somehow cross the world's barrier to contact their original master and obtain further assistance.

Hehe~ What wishful thinking.

Laurie, we White Dragons have never concealed our origins, so you should know some news about the Five-Colored Dragons, right?"
