Chapter 84 – Mana Mortar Practice (2)
At that time, Joen, who was under the tent, shouted.
“There’s something shiny in the crater!”
Since Joen is an archer, she must have perfect eyesight because she can see inside the crater in the distance.
Jazlyn got up and headed toward the crater, her guards and soldiers stampeding after her.
There was a circular shield inside the crater.
Joen went into the crater, took out the shield, then jumped and climbed out. The shield was large enough to be held with one hand, had delicate mithril patterns engraved on its surface, and had a yellow gem set in the center.
“Jazlyn. This is a shield that looks quite precious. “Maybe it’s a shield from the mythical era.”
The Age of Myth refers to the era when Christopher Robin, the first warrior, fought against evil spirits. In that era, gods and heroes existed and fought against each other, and their stories are still passed down as legends and fables. Mythic-level artifacts are quite rare and valuable items because they contain the will and power of the hero who used them. Some relics even have something called ‘God’s protection’ hanging on them.
Jazlyn took her shield and looked at it carefully.
“Hmm. It is true that the pattern on the surface was drawn with mithril. “It’s the magic language of the long-lost Winni tribe.”
“Is that really true? Aren’t the Winnie tribe the spirits from the founding myth of the empire?”
I too have heard of the Winnie tribe. The Winnie tribe are bright animal spirits that existed in mythological times. They all looked cute and included bears, tigers, pigs, rabbits, etc. It is said that the first Hero Robin was raised by the Winnie tribe and gained a healthy, just spirit and a strong body. After the evil spirit disappears, the Winnie tribe disappears from history, and no one knows why. The place where the Winni tribe was located was a land full of life and flowing with milk and honey. Robin chose this place as his capital, named it Brisen City, and founded the Adrian Empire. The legend of the Winnie tribe has been adapted in many ways and has now become a children’s favorite folk tale.
“That’s right. The yellow gem in the center contains some powerful will. “This shield is clearly a mythical artifact used by the Winni tribe.”
Everyone here was impressed by Jazleen’s assurance.
“Wow! Awesome!”
“They say the owner of a mythical artifact becomes a hero!”
“Who will be the owner of that shield?!”
Because I have the Truth Eye, I can confirm the identity of the shield.
Jinlin!

*Name: Pooh’s Shield
*Effect: Contains powerful defensive power.
*Special function: Automatically creates a shield to protect the owner. Automatically absorbs mana from the atmosphere and recharges consumed mana.
*History: Pooh was the great hero of the Winnie tribe in the mythical era.
He blocked the great magic spear of destruction sent by the great evil Gargion with just a shield.
Although Fu perished with the Spear of Destruction, his tribe survived, and the remaining tribe members attacked and killed Gargion.
The Winnie tribe commemorated Pooh’s sacrifice and buried his shield at the spot where he died.

‘Wow… It’s amazing. But isn’t that my shield since I fired a mortar at it?’
Jazlyn is holding a shield and there are guards around, so you can’t rob her.
Jazlyn held out her shield to Paris.
“Paris. You’ve always wanted a good shield, right? This shield will go well with your mace.”
“Thank you! My Lady!”
Jazlyn was about to put down her shield as Paris knelt down on her knees and raised both her hands above her head.
I feel like my heart is breaking.
‘Fuck you guys! ‘That’s mine!’
I sank down and muttered quietly so that no one could hear.
“Pooh’s shield… It’s mine…”
As soon as I finished speaking, a bright light suddenly erupted from the shield and illuminated my face.
“Fu’s shield chose Zeon, who called her name, as her master. This shield belongs to Zeon.”
‘Puhhehehe! It’s mine!!’
People are confused as the shield floats up and slowly flies towards me.
“Uh! Uh! What!”
“The shield is going to Zeon!”
The moment Paris stretched out her hand toward her shield, glaring at it with eyes that made her think she would commit murder.
Pazyjik
Blue electricity came out from the shield and struck Paris’ hand.
“Ouch!”
Paris stretched out her hand again, and this time a translucent orb surrounded her shield. When Paris’ hand touched her sphere, a series of crackling sounds were heard.
“Aaaaah! You are mine! Ugh!”
As Paris endured her pain and tried to grab the orb with both her hands, her shield splattered with blood and in an instant it shot out and came at me. When I stretched out my hand, the shield was placed in my hand. I feel an overwhelming energy coming from the shield, down my arms, and into my body.
“Oh, oh. Become stronger.”
Paris came up to me and shouted.
“Hey! That’s mine!”
“Paris. It seems like this shield chose me.”
“It is the imprint of the owner of the relic. You just have to give up ownership.”
“…”
“Can’t you hear me? Give up quickly.”
Paris’s eyes are so burning with her greed for her shield that I feel like she’s about to hit me. But I have no intention of giving up my shield.
‘Are you going to give it to me because I’m crazy?’
I kept cursing to myself, hugged the shield tightly with a scared face, and pleaded with a desperate voice.
“Paris. I really like this shield. Since I found it by firing a mortar, can I use it? Please.”
“If it were you, would you give it to me?”
‘Huh. Even if it were me, I wouldn’t give it to you.’
“Please.”
“You idiot without an answer. “You have to hit me to be obeyed.”
Paris comes towards me with her hands clenched into fists.
‘Aaaaah! ‘Someone help me!’
At that time, Calere stood in front of me and blocked Paris.
“Paris. “I will not forgive you if you hit Zeon.”
‘Oh, oh! Sister Kalele is so cool!’
Calere’s wide back is very strong and reliable.
Paris frowned at the sudden intrusion of Calais and began to explain.
“The Zeon guy took my shield. The silver badge took the gold badge’s items and even refused orders. “This is the worst.”
“In my eyes, Zeon is the rightful owner of the shield.”
“What?! Jazlyn said you would give it to me!”
“It hasn’t been completely given yet. And wouldn’t it have gone too far to try to assault a member of the same SS in front of Jazleen?”
“No! Then what!”
This time, Gopi stepped forward.
“Paris. You seem to have nothing to show for your greed for the shield. “How about you give in this time?”
‘Brother Gopi! I was only trusting my brother!’
This is how my friendship with Gopi shines.
Paris shouted.
“Fuck! Should I give a mythic artifact to a guy who has nothing but luck? “I can use it better!”
Suddenly Jazlyn shouted loudly.
“Everyone be quiet!!”
In an instant, the room becomes quiet.
“I will mediate. I was initially going to give Paris her shield. “Paris has served me for a long time, and I think he will become an excellent tank once he gets the shield.”
Paris’ face straightens.
“But when I think about it, Zeon also has merit. The reason the shield was revealed to the world was because of Zeon’s mortar fire. Without Zeon, this shield would have been buried forever. Zeon is a mental wizard, so his defense is low, but if Zeon gets this shield, his weakness will be compensated. Since the shield itself chose Zeon as its master, Zeon may be the best at handling the shield.”
Paris’ face distorts again.
“Both Paris and Zeon deserve the shield. I’d like to hear your opinions here. “Who is it right to give it to?”
After seeing the situation in which Jazlyn was going, I think she realized that no matter who she gave it to, they wouldn’t be fair, and they would get her resentment. So leave her choice to her personal guard.
Callere raised his hand and insisted.
“My lord. I think it’s right for Zeon to receive it. If you give Zeon a shield, his defense will be supplemented and Zeon can focus more on his attacks.”
Next, Gopi persuaded.
“Jazlyn. Zeon discovered the shield and was even chosen by it. It doesn’t look good to force someone to give up this.”
This time Joen spoke.
“I think Zeon should get it too! Most wizards carry magic shields for defense. Why not take this opportunity to give Zeon a good shield to increase his loyalty to Jazlyn?”
As Calere, Gopi, and Joen, who had high recognition and power in the SS, one after another approved of me, the four remaining Silver Badges took notice and secretly joined me.
I think it’s because he’s closer to me than Paris.
‘After all, this is a friend! Haha’
Paris’ face rots in real time in this unbelievable reality.
Jazlyn saw the situation and made a decision.
“Zion. It seems you have accumulated a lot of virtue. I will award you a mythic shield. You must protect me with that shield and return it to me when you leave the SS. Do you understand?”
No matter how much Jazleen does, I don’t think she would make an unreasonable decision to ignore everyone’s opinions.
I got down on one knee and swore loudly.
“I offer my allegiance to Jazlyn! From now on, my shield only exists to protect Jazlyn!!”
Paris begged Jazlyn, her hands shaking with disappointment and anger.
“Jazleen… Can you please think again? “It is better in terms of power for me to have a shield that is already completed rather than an inexperienced Zeon.”
“Paris. I have already asked my vassals for their opinions, and they said it would be appropriate to give it to Zeon. “If I give you a shield here, I will be a liar.”
“I’m sorry…”
“Paris. “Next time I find another relic like this, I will give it to you.”
“Okay…”
“I think today’s work is over, so let’s go back to the academy.”
Jazlyn turned around and walked back to the carriage. Paris and her personal guard followed Jazlin to the place where the carriages were located.
Paris still can’t accept her situation and her face turns blue. She believed that she was a powerful figure in the SS, but when she opened the lid, she found that no one was supporting her. Her shield isn’t the problem, she should be worried about her own school life.
Okto noticed and approached me and held out a subspace ring.
