The door to the attic was opened (by a group of young workers) and the dust-filled room was then invaded (by the group of young workers).
I have actually intended to leave everything to those young skilled workers but, after taking into account that there could be treasures stored in the attic and there might be possibilities of the items getting stolen, I ended up going in with them after putting on a mask. Well, I was monitoring them.
I understood it well that I should’ve done so from the start……..
The space in the attic appeared to be quite huge. I had originally planned to turn this into our luggage room but, there were still a few items remaining inside the room unexpectedly. Seeing that there was nothing left behind in the lower level of the mansion, I have assumed the attic to be empty as well. Hence, even though there were just a few pieces of items here, it was still beyond my expectation.
At one glance, the items remained were a small chest, a black box and a cabinet. It was possible that the insides were bare but, I guess I’ll just inspect them in spite of the dust.
First, I’ll open the black box. 2/3 of the box appeared to be filled up with black dried-up nuts, each of them resembling an oversized acorn. They were probably something like emergency rations. When I was about to reach out my hand for the nuts for closer observation, one of the young workers said, “Ah, that’s a fire nut. It will ignite fire easily so please be careful when you touch it.”
What the heck do you mean by fire nut? How am I supposed to take it if I don’t touch it? Apparently, it would be fine if I were to pick them up using a fire tong. These nuts are a kind of portable fire starter that are popular among adventurers, but they are not something that are really out of the ordinary. However, considering that it has the ability to trigger fire as soon as one touches it using bare hands, it must be quite a high performance nut.
The contents of the cabinet were, only several pieces of cloth. White, blue, red, green, yellow……There were several dozens of different coloured fabrics inside. Since I didn’t have any plan to use these cloth, I just left them as is.
Lastly, I examined the chest.
It shouldn’t be a big deal since they were probably going to be something useless anyway. That was what I had initially thought but, what came out of the chest were 12 gems neatly wrapped up in a white cloth.
These are not spirit stones but gems. As far as I knew, the spirit stones here are not as beautifully cut as the gems that are sold over-the-counter in the shops in Japan. The ones here look like slightly polished ores and the sizes are as big as a fist.
Therefore, these are definitely gems without a doubt but, not only are the textures smooth like turquoise, the transparencies and colours are also different respectively.
I didn’t understand it well but, I invoked ‘The Mirror of Truth’ on the blue gem in my hand. It would be good if they were actually something valuable.
