“W-Wow! It’s treasure, treasure!”
“Whoa, is that a sword?”
“Crazy, why was he walking around with such good armor on and nothing but bones showing?”
There were so many weapons, armor, and books that seemed to be skill manuals in front of me that I didn’t even feel like stopping the others from making such a fuss.
『The Last Leaf [Legend]』
『The Shouting Horn [Legend]』
『The Ring of the Andvaranaut [Legend]』
『The Shadow of the Sun [Legend]』
『Spisso Belt [Legend]』
『Burning Demon Sword (Leviathan) [Legend]』
…
『The History Book of Count Ruben's House [Legend]』』
『Yumin's Diary [Legend]』
They popped up chaotically before my eyes. The rank of the chaotically scattered equipment list was all ‘Legend’.
This is why I ignore the Legend rank. Even the old books in the Exorsus library are ranked ‘Legend,’ so I hadn’t expected much.
With my expectations sunk to the floor, I picked up an accessory with a title similar to that of a famous novel and checked its item information with ‘Check’.
[The Last Leaf [Legend]]
A leaf that has overcome a desolate autumn and endured a harsh winter symbolizes the courage not to be discouraged by any ordeal.
Simply keeping it in storage without equipping it increases luck by 5 unconditionally.
When life hangs by a thread due to an irresistible force, the leaf takes the place of death.
“……!!”
A worn leaf fluttered down. Apparently it had been magically treated, because when it hit the floor it made a rattling sound. But that wasn’t important right now.
‘Revival item?’
Strictly speaking, it lets you slip past death like the talent ‘Immortality’ does. And it’s less efficient than the talent ‘Immortality’. ‘Immortality’ moves the representative who possesses the talent to the safe Garden of Gods the moment a fatal wound brings them to the brink of death.
But this is just an item that lets you dodge death once. Even so, its uses are endless.
“Companion?”
Hazel picked up the fallen, old leaf-shaped item and handed it to me, asking with a worried face whether I was okay.
But I was so shocked by the item information that I couldn’t answer right away that I was fine.
I carefully took the ‘Last Leaf’ that Hazel handed me and put it into my inventory.
While I was at it, I decided to take a short break, so I first put the items piled up haphazardly on the floor into my subspace magic pouch and calmly checked them one by one.
And I began the work of taking out of the magic pouch and moving into the inventory the equipment corresponding to absurd weapons or gear used or personally crafted by ancient superhumans—like ‘The Last Leaf [Legend]’—.
[The Shouting Horn [Legend]]
It is a horn made in the early days of the empire at the emperor's 'request' by the great prophet and the great mage in preparation for the calamity that would befall the ancient empire. If this horn is blown, allies—those who have not betrayed you—can hear its sound wherever they are on the continent.
When a rebellion broke out in the empire, it was hanging around Count Ruben, the captain of the guard's neck, but since Count Ruben was then part of the rebel faction, the warning of the horn could not be heard by the emperor and the others.
Detects even the stealth of a half-bodied being. Detects killing intent. Detects top-tier crisis.
Caution: We recommend wearing it around the neck of someone who will never betray you, or around your own neck. Take the last emperor of the empire as a lesson.
[The Ring of the Andvaranaut [Legend]]
It is a ring symbolizing the ancient fairy queen. Inheriting the fairy queen's power, this ring possessed a higher-dimensional power than the strongest magic spell, 'Wish (Wish: wish)'.
Later, when the empire invaded the land of the fairies and used them as magical materials, the ring was passed to the emperor through the hands of the expedition leader.
The emperor who received the ring at the time heard the curse of the fairy queen captured alive by the expedition leader and sealed the ring in a treasure vault that only the emperor could enter. It was kept for a long time in a deep vault of the imperial palace until it was later brought out by the hands of the tyrant.
Once a month, the top-tier magic spell 'Enhanced Wish' can be used. However, after using 'Enhanced Wish,' luck is permanently reduced by 30.
[The Shadow of the Sun [Legend]]
Before the empire was born, this was a sword the founding emperor of the empire received from an unknown god. It is a sword symbolizing the empire's military power, and one that is traditionally bestowed upon the commander of the imperial guard knights or the supreme commander of invading forces.
It is said that this sword originally contains tremendous power, but apart from the founding emperor, no one in the empire's long history has ever been able to draw out that power, and it has been used as a ceremonial sword.

[Spisso Belt [Legend]]
Spino, one of the empire's founding heroes, was a natural brawler. Rumors of his strength spread across the continent as he began his adventures with the founding emperor, and though many challengers came to challenge him, he defeated them all.
As praise for Spino grew day by day, an unknown god at the time challenged Spino, and the two fought for seven days and nights but could not settle the matter.
Amazed by Spino's strange power, the god gave him a belt as a gift.
After that, it came to be called the 'Spisso Belt,' named after Spisso, the ancient word meaning 'to tighten,' and Spino, the belt's first owner.
After Spino died, this belt was stored in the imperial treasure vault, then stolen by the ringleader Yuhan on the day the rebellion broke out.
―The wearer's strength increases twofold. However, it does not increase if it exceeds the limit of each stage.
[Burning Demon Sword [Legend]]
In the early days of the empire, an explorer discovered dwarves living underground. They were highly dexterous and, above all, cheerful and pleasant beings.
However, their dexterity became an object of greed from a human standpoint, and by the time the explorer grasped the situation, an expedition had already been formed to capture the dwarves.
The explorer hurriedly told the dwarves this news, and the dwarves managed to escape safely, but the explorer met a cruel death.
Enraged, the dwarves did not come out of their workshop for a full 1,000 days, and after 1,000 days the demonic sword was born.
The dwarves threw this demonic sword into the human world, and for a time a bloody wind blew in the empire over possession of the sword.
Although this demonic sword possessed tremendous power, when wielded by someone it did not recognize as its owner, it would thirst for human blood, gradually drain life force, and ultimately turn the user into a mummy, forcing them to be swept by the sword until death.
The emperor heard of this at the time and sent troops, and with the help of a great mage and an alchemist, barely succeeded in sealing it and stored it in the imperial treasure vault.
It was stolen by Yuhan on the day the rebellion broke out.

[Apple of Youth [Legend]]
(...omitted....)
This unusual item unleashes its power when ‘Apple of Youth’ is destroyed by any means necessary.
When the destruction of the ‘Apple of Youth’ succeeds, the destroyer’s stamina increases by 5 unconditionally and stamina regeneration doubles.
[Warding Whip [Legend]]
The 21st emperor of the Nitten Empire was constantly plagued by assassination attempts. It was also the time when imperial authority was weakest, because his uncle, the grand duke, wielded immense power.
It is a magical tool painstakingly made for that emperor by Duke Leopold, a great archmage close to being a superhuman and a family of founding meritorious retainers.
After that, the 21st emperor was completely freed from assassination, strengthened imperial authority, and led the empire into a cultural renaissance.
After the 21st emperor died, it was stored in the imperial treasure vault, but Count Ruben, who enjoyed the tyrant's favor, frequented the imperial treasure vault and stole it without permission.
Normally it replaces the wearer's belt, and when attacked it automatically begins to defend. It completely defends against attacks of strength 110 or divine power 100 or below.
Anyone can use it without any special prior conditions.
“Mr. Kim Han.”
A voice pulled me out of my sweet dream as I stared at the item information as if spellbound. Lee Hyo-ju, who had come over at some point, was looking at me with worried eyes.
“Mr. Kim Han, are you okay?”
My face reflected in her large black eyes looked like that of a drug addict who had taken a heavy dose.
Only then could I tell what I looked like. I stroked my face once, trying to calm my excitement.
“Sorry. How much time has passed?”
“It’s just been an hour. What should we do?”
“Let’s go.”
The items I hadn’t checked yet shimmered before my eyes.
Of course, if I choose ten, seven or eight of them will just be relics and items of archaeological value, but still, because two or three items are absurdly powerful, I couldn’t control my trembling hands like withdrawal symptoms.
‘I should hurry up and beat down that tyrant already, seriously….’
Smacking my lips, I irritably tossed the subspace magic pouch, which was making me impatient again, into my inventory and quickened my pace a little.
