Dragon's Vision
Inside Thiers, Siegfried looked at Saint George, who stood before him with a frown, feeling a bit awkward.
"My apologies. I've put you in a difficult position."
Saint George waved his hand.
"It's not difficult, I'm just curious how one person can be afflicted with so many curses. Are you prone to being cursed?"
"...Well, I'm truly sorry, I don't know either, but... I am indeed a person burdened by curses."
Siegfried felt a bit embarrassed. After all, though he was a dragon-slaying hero, he was also cursed by Fafnir, a fact that would stay with him until his death.
"There's no need to be embarrassed. I just wanted to say that the most recent curses are nothing. The source of the curses seems to have been eliminated, and they were already weak, so purification shouldn't be difficult. However, your original curse has already integrated with you, and there's nothing I can do about that."
Saint George indicated he was powerless against old wounds.
"That's enough!"
Siegfried nodded vigorously. Being able to purify the current curses was enough. As long as he recovered his fighting strength, there was a high probability he could defeat Fafnir.
"Alright then, I'll need some time. Why don't you all step outside for now?"
Saint George said. Everyone nodded and left, except for Jeanne d'Arc.
"I also possess purification power. I'll help."
Saint George considered it, then nodded.
"Okay."
And so, the Saint and the Holy Maiden began purifying Siegfried's curses.
The others exited the room.
"Lords, we've prepared some rooms for you. They are simple, but please don't mind them."
A soldier approached, leading them to their resting place.
Due to the war, the once prosperous Thiers was now broken and desolate. The group was led to a clean dwelling, which was already considered the best accommodation in the city.
This attitude showed the genuine sincerity of the people of Thiers.
Food and drink were also prepared in the room. Mo Shuying didn't stand on ceremony, walking over to the long dining table, picking up a cup, pouring himself some water, and then breaking off a piece of bread to eat.
"Siegfried should be fine, right?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka sat down next to Mo Shuying and poured themself a glass of water.
"Jeanne d'Arc is there, and the other is a Saint-level existence. Nothing will happen."
Saint George was a genuine Saint, the best of good people. Unless they were enemies, he would always be very polite and friendly, from the bottom of his heart.
"That's good then."
Fujimaru Ritsuka said no more, just slowly drank their water.
The Little Director sat opposite, picked up an apple, and bit into it. They glanced at Mo Shuying and Fujimaru Ritsuka, then spoke.
"They helped us so much, shouldn't we thank them? And perhaps win over this Saint to join us in battle."
The Little Director's perspective was certainly sharp. Mo Shuying nodded, indicating it wasn't a big problem.
"I helped them defend this city first. If anyone should be thanked, it's me. I don't think Siegfried is more important than an entire city of people, do you?"
"..."
"I think Mr. Siegfried would cry if he heard that."
Mash scratched her cheek, noticed no one was speaking, and her face flushed. She quickly sat down, clutching her shield.
"It's just the truth. Siegfried himself wouldn't think it's a big deal. Don't forget, he spent his entire life serving the people, though in the end..."
Mo Shuying paused there, then dropped the topic and continued,
"If you really want to thank Saint George, just have Chaldea teleport a camera over. From what I can tell, he's definitely a photography fanatic, the kind who's bad at it but loves to play."
"..."
Everyone looked at Mo Shuying with disbelief. Mo Shuying shrugged.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you..."
"Cough cough, we'll talk about this later. Everyone should get some rest early."
The Little Director stood up and walked towards the sleeping room. Finally, no more sleeping in tents! While tents weren't terrible, who would sleep in a tent when there was a bed?
Everyone left one after another. Just as Mo Shuying was about to get up, Fujimaru Ritsuka spoke.
"Um!"
"Hmm? What is it, Gudako?"
"...This dagger, did you really give it to me?"
Fujimaru Ritsuka took out the Dragon Tooth Dagger, still somewhat in disbelief.
"Hey, it's just a Craft Essence, of course I gave it to you. Here, take this too, I don't need it myself. By the way, I was so focused on grinding earlier that I didn't check what materials those wyverns dropped. You should get some rest early. I'll go ask the soldiers outside."
With that, Mo Shuying got up and walked out, leaving Fujimaru Ritsuka alone, gazing at the ring in their hand for a long time without speaking.
About ten minutes later, Mo Shuying found a quiet spot with a pile of materials and began his crafting.
The guards were very accommodating. As soon as they heard Mo Shuying needed materials, they immediately brought out everything they had collected over the past few days and gave it to him.
Mo Shuying felt a little embarrassed, but he couldn't refuse their overwhelming generosity, so he accepted.
The materials were quite good:
One Demon Dragon's Eye, a pair of Demon Dragon's Wings, and over a dozen other common materials.
As he prepared to craft, Mo Shuying considered what he was lacking.
He wasn't short on defense; otherwise, he wouldn't have given the Wyvern Scale Ring to Fujimaru Ritsuka. As one of the true "saviors," Fujimaru Ritsuka still needed some means of self-preservation.
He also wasn't lacking in offense; if his fists weren't enough, he had numerous Class Cards.
After much thought, Mo Shuying realized he lacked means of enemy detection.
Although his perception was very keen, its range was limited. After all, he didn't possess the skill of Intuition.
"Let's try it."
Mo Shuying took out the Demon Dragon's Eye and began to craft. Magecraft light emerged, and the five elemental spirits appeared, assisting Mo Shuying in the process.
A few minutes later, Mo Shuying began adding more ingredients.
These included various other materials, some of which Mo Shuying had obtained from hunting monsters in other dimensions.
After a series of manipulations,
a shimmering green eyeball appeared in Mo Shuying's hand.
Dragon's Vision B+
When worn, it can detect invisible units within a thousand meters. Stealth abilities below A-rank are ineffective.
The second effect allows for the projection of a dragon eye, which connects to the user's line of sight. It can project up to a hundred kilometers away and cannot be captured or destroyed.
Both effects were decent, but ultimately quite niche.
For detection within a thousand meters, who needed a Mystic Code? Moreover, it couldn't detect stealth above A-rank, making it practically useless.
The second effect, however, was a good reconnaissance tool. Projecting a dragon eye to observe enemy movements, and it couldn't be shot down—that was indeed impressive. But others could only watch.
Mo Shuying had an idea for this particular effect. Holding the dragon eye, he activated its second ability. Mo Shuying closed his eyes, and a luminous, eyeball-shaped projection flew from his hand, soaring higher and higher, encompassing all of Thiers within its view.
This phantom dragon eye could move, with a maximum range of a hundred kilometers.
Mo Shuying connected his vision and glanced at the city wall, then activated his Flash skill.
"Whoosh!"
The next second, Mo Shuying appeared on the city wall.
The guards on the wall were startled.
"Ah!! Uh... Sir? Is something wrong?"
The guards, who had thought it was a ghost, patted their chests and caught their breath, nearly scared to death.
A hint of excitement gleamed in Mo Shuying's eyes. It worked, just as he thought.
A connected line of sight could also be used for teleportation.
If that was the case...
Could Merlin's Mystic Eyes, which could perceive the present, appear anywhere in this world?!
This seemed very promising!
