Chapter 50: Cane
"Mi, please bring my money from my bedroom, which was in the bag when I was buying you chocolate," saying these words, he handed her the key.
"Alright!" saying these words, she ran.
The room plunged into silence again, but it didn’t last long as Garrett started a conversation on a completely new topic; nevertheless, it was as important for him as it was for Alister to strengthen their relationship.
"Let’s talk about something else while she returns. Recently, I offered Mr. Gentleman a gift of a cane as a sign of our acquaintance, and you gladly accepted it. Therefore, I would like to ask exactly what kind of cane you need: color, shape, and so on," he asked a question to clarify the details.
’A cane... I don’t really care what it’s like, but I have my own tastes regarding such things. I hope that ancient swords can also transform into items, just as Princess Celestia did when she fought the professor and suddenly her S-rank sword appeared from a ring. This would give me very good convenience for hiding Little Mi from prying eyes at the necessary moments.’
"To be honest, I would be happy to receive any gift from you, and as far as canes are concerned, I’m not very well-versed in them, so I would like to rely on your professionalism," Alister replied.
After that, Garrett began to look for some documents; one could assume it was related to the canes.
"Captain Vincent, will we be in Verigia in about 3 days?" Miller asked suddenly.
"Yes, well, if you count today, we’ll be there in 2 days. You know, the distance between the cities of the Inter-X continent is not great, which is good for us. But we only have one continent within our borders from where Princess Celestia came, if you’ve heard."
"Yes, I’ve heard. Well, the city of Syoga has the best academy among the two continents, so it’s not that surprising," Miller said while beginning to drink his wine.
"And why exactly among two continents? Why not five? I just heard that it’s the best out of five as well, since I saw what that academy is actually like since I lived in the city of Syoga," Alister suddenly asked a logical question.
"Well, it’s possible that it is the best, but we can’t say for sure yet because we don’t know and have never seen the residents and economy of other continents due to the unknown continent," he answered the question, clenching his fingers.
"Yes, I also agree with Mr. Miller. Because there is an unknown continent between the continents, we haven’t been able to connect with them for a long time; the only exceptions are the queens of the continents, as they have ancient swords of a very high rank that help them overcome the beasts of the unknown continent," the captain added his thoughts.
’It seems there are very strong monsters on the unknown continent that ordinary people, even very strong ones, cannot pass through, but as they said, the exceptions are the queens who have ancient weapons just like me but of a high rank. Perhaps they have rank 11 or 12.’
’But apparently, ancient swords are not a secret here, but why then in Syoga did Lucian want this sword so much? There is only one option, and that is scarcity. In this world, there are very few such weapons, which increases their value; if there were many of them, no one would pay attention to this sword, especially talking about performing some kind of ritual with the academy.’
"I’ve always been interested in the question: besides the queens, does anyone else have these ancient swords?" Alister asked, continuing to obtain valuable information that he will definitely need in the future.
"Well, they are few, but they exist, of course. But as you already know, they are not located in the cities, but wander in the unknown continent, as it is vital for them to be there if they want to sustain their lives."
’What "sustain their lives"? Why did I only find out about this now? Does this mean something is threatening my life right now? I urgently need to find out from Mi why it is vital for them to be there if they want to sustain their lives.’
"Here, I found it-our new cane is one of the very best," Garrett immediately intervened in the conversation, handing documents to Alister so he could read whether he liked this cane.
<<<
This item is not just a cane, but a tool that instantly changes the perception of the owner in the eyes of others. Allow me to present its merits, catering to the buyer who values aesthetics and hidden power:
Mastery of Execution: The knob is made of solid silver with deep baroque engraving. Every line here is not a random pattern, but a testament to the painstaking work of a master who understands that a gentleman is defined by the details.
Ideal Balance: The dark shaft of noble ebony possesses a density that allows the cane to feel like a natural extension of the hand, rather than just an accessory. Its weight is perfectly balanced: it is stable, yet not burdensome.
Hidden Authority: The aesthetic of this cane is a strictness bordering on danger. It is an accessory for one who is used to controlling the situation while remaining absolutely unperturbed. The silver tip, echoing the handle, completes the image, demonstrating a structural integrity of style.
Timeless Status: In a world where everything is fleeting, this item declares stability and belonging to a closed circle of people for whom reputation is the most important asset.

’Interesting, the document is written very well, using words specifically so that the buyer purchases immediately.’
"This cane will become an argument in the hands of one who values both an impeccable appearance and solid reliability. It doesn’t just complement a suit-it sets the tone for the entire interaction. Surely you understand that such things are not bought; they are acquired as an investment in one’s own image?"
"Yes, I understand that; it looks truly very good and stylish to me, and just as it says there, it complements my image as a gentleman," Alister replied, and suddenly the door opened and Little Mi entered, holding that very bag in her hand.
"Father, here, I brought it!"
