After searching through jewels and minerals all day, I put the last jewel in the box while sighing.
'How could there be none?'
None of those jewels and mineral could be a medium!
I didn't think it would be easy to find from the beginning. But, the jewels and minerals that Seria had purchased are very special, so there would be no loss, but it was inevitable to be disappointed.
The only good thing was that my body is young, so my back wasn't hurt from bending down too much and squatting.
I touched my Etwal.
'Should I call the strategist and ask him?'
I think he could come up with a good idea.
After thinking so, I shook my head.
I already use some of my divine power to find the right mineral. If I call the strategist again, I wouldn't be able to hold on.
As I looked at the jewels and minerals with a gloomy expression, the chairman said,
"We will continue to purchase jewelries and minerals. There are also quite a few minerals and jewels which haven't been purchased. The things in the warehouse are just part of the list."
Seria, who was next to me, gave me the list.
"If there's anything that stands out, I'll buy it first."
"Alright..."
I checked the list with a sullen expression.
Some of them were jewelries that became famous in my past lives.
I was checking all of them when I saw something and blinked.
"You've taken some things off the list."
There were several other jewels and minerals with notes next to them.
The origin was also written, but some were fake when I checked them, and some description were not clear,
"What is this Nogak jewel?"
"It is an imperial property. It was founded by Viscount Ostin, but it was classified as a relic and was passed onto the Emperor."
Come to think of it, I think I've heard of it.
'Where did I hear that? Nogak...'
"The virtual battle price!"
When I shouted, the chairman narrowed his forehead and asked,
"The virtual battle?"
Virtual battle is the next biggest event after the hunting battle.
The virtual battle is held once every four years, it's an event in which children of the capital city noble aged from 8 to 15 participate.
The final winner will be given the honor of entering the Imperial Knights and get prizes given by the Emperor.
"Yeah! The emperor bet this as a prize in this year's virtual battle."
"I see, but I don't think it's particularly special than the others. There are many other gems classified as relics."
"Hayton, the eldest son of the Duke Vallua, will participate in this year's war."
"The Vallua have never participated before. They're not a very powerful family."
It is called virtual battle because the noble children didn't fight directly.
The participating children only commanded the battle as a captain.
