You think you're worthy of saving the world?

Although she was a military enthusiast, her knowledge was limited to those made in mainland China, and she was unaware of the mysterious mechanical devices that had flowed in from the island nation.

"Yes, I also know a little about Albion's mechanical engineering."

Yuri took the engine sword from the shop assistant and examined it in his hand.

【Azure Queen】

[Type: One-handed sword - slashing]

[Level: Rare (Blue)]

[Attribute: Wind]

【Characteristics: Spiritual Energy Charging, Spiritual Energy Release】

[Description: A one-handed sword equipped with a built-in combustion device. Infusing one's spiritual power into the sword grants a powerful burst of damage.]

【"Power! Give me more power!!"】

"As expected of the Holy Son, you have excellent judgment!"

The shop assistant excitedly introduced, "This sword is a trophy that the Knights Templar seized ten years ago when they defeated a cult stronghold. It was entrusted to our shop for sale."

After contacting professionals at Albion, we confirmed that this was the masterpiece of the mechanical master Francis.

"Humph……"

Yuri gripped the sword hilt, channeling spiritual energy into his palm as he pulled the trigger with his thumb and middle finger.

In an instant, the actuator located at the top of the sword hilt roared like a steel behemoth, and pale white steam gushed out from the gaps in the mechanism.

"Wow... Wow, that's amazing! How did you do that? How did you do that!?"

Safia grabbed the boy's sleeve, her eyes wide and sparkling.

Even Cecilia, who had always been resistant to island nation technology, was drawn in and stared intently.

"Such an intense aura... This is already close to that of a second-rank knight..."

Adding an internal combustion engine to a weapon to compress and release one's own spiritual energy is not actually a particularly groundbreaking technological innovation.

In fact, if Cecilia were to inject spiritual power into the sword, there is a chance that the engine would be blown up by her extremely high-density spiritual power, which is the physical limit of a miniature internal combustion engine.

However, given Yuri's current level, there's no need for him to worry about such extravagance.

In the game, the Azure Queen is also an excellent transitional weapon.

It can maximize the output of spiritual power in the early stage, and there is nothing more suitable as Yuri's sword... I choose you!

Yuri suppressed her excitement, looked calmly at the shop assistant, and began to formulate a reason to bargain.

Even if it was a gift from the wealthy Cecilia to him, he would still haggle over the price.

"So, this sword has been sitting here for ten years without being bought? No wonder it was moved to a corner."

"This one……"

The shop assistant looked embarrassed.

As Yuri said, this sword might be highly sought after in Albion, but on the continent it's just a strangely shaped toy with novel functions.

It does not use the well-known steam technology, but rather the outdated internal combustion technology, which is not even sufficient to highlight its biggest selling point: cutting-edge weaponry.

That being said, the "Azure Queen" is also a masterpiece by the master, and is one of the few weapons in the world equipped with an internal combustion engine.

If the Knights Templar hadn't refused to let their spoils flow overseas, they wouldn't have ended up being ignored for ten years.

Yuri winked at Safia, who then joined in the bargaining.

After that, Cecilia bought Yuri for a very low price.

"Little Yuri, what are you doing?"

Safia asked curiously, as the Holy Son repeatedly sheathed and drew his sword.

"Practice sheathing your sword."

"Why???"

Yuri smiled mysteriously and sheathed the Azure Queen.

Close your eyes, concentrate, and try to block out as many distractions as possible.

Next, he tried hooking the trigger with his middle finger and then forcefully pulling the sword out by gripping it with only his little and ring fingers.

"Shh-!"

The pale, spirited slash drew a graceful arc in the void.

Yuri's spiritual energy was injected into the engine, compressed and burned before flowing into the blade, and finally the sword was drawn.

These three actions were completed in one smooth motion almost instantly.

Accompanied by the shrill whistle of the mechanism, a surging and chilling divine energy spread throughout the store, with a massive spiritual power far exceeding the previous scale flowing and surging endlessly.

"How is this possible... This is no longer a first or second tier... Even a third-tier knight couldn't achieve this level of spiritual power output...!"

In the depths of my being, I seemed to hear Cecilia's exclamation from a very distant place.

Yuri released his intense concentration, let out a long sigh, and slowly sheathed the "Azure Queen".

At this moment, an unprecedented sense of accomplishment filled his entire being.

The technique the Child of Prophecy just used is called "MIX-Act" in the game.

While slashing with the Azure Queen or a similar weapon, press the trigger at the appropriate time.

The judgment time is only 1/60 of a second. If successful, the spiritual power injected into the engine can be instantly tripled.

In terms of the game's design, this mechanism was unknown to everyone, not even the weapon's creators. It was only discovered by players six months after the game's launch.

This is not a game bug, but a hidden feature in "Persona" as a tribute to a certain action game; it's an official Easter egg.

Unexpectedly, it has been preserved in the real world as well, which is equivalent to a blessing from the goddess?

Thinking about this, Yuri felt that there were many more hidden game easter eggs that he could use for his own purposes in the future.

This is precisely the legitimate cheat code unique to time travelers.

027 Aunt Rosa's Night Raid?

"...Clap clap clap clap clap clap! Clap clap clap clap!"

When he came to his senses, the shop assistant was clapping and looking at him with an even more admiring gaze than Yuri had expected.

After all, this sword had been gathering dust in the shop for ten years and had been taken out and played with countless times, but no one had ever discovered its amazing properties like Yuri.

The shop assistants probably still believe that this is the power of the Holy Son's own destiny, rather than that the "Azure Queen" has something special about her, or that she used cheating techniques.

"That's amazing! Yuri!"

A soft impact struck the boy's face.

The blonde knight hugged Yuri's head excitedly: "How did you do that? That's amazing!"

"It's pretty ordinary, isn't it? Cecilia, if you keep praising me like this... I'll become a cripple sooner or later."

Yuri, feeling blissfully relaxed in this wonderfully tender place, said...

Cecilia wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled brightly: "What's wrong with that! It's absolutely something to be proud of! Yuri, I'm so proud of you!"

……

……

……

It was still early after they left the weapon shop, so Yuri suggested they stroll around the streets some more and said he wanted to give Cecilia a gift in return.

They went to the women's clothing section of the department store, where Yuri finally chose a pair of long gloves adorned with white lace.

Although Cecilia kept saying "I don't need it," she was as happy as a child after receiving the gift.

They also took up Safia's precious day off today, so Yuri said he wanted to buy her a thank-you gift.

"Is there a problem with little Yuri's allowance?" Miss Sapphire asked worriedly.

Yuri was somewhat surprised: This guy actually cares about me.

"I've saved up all my living expenses."

The Holy Son's living expenses mainly come from grants from the Papal Court.

While they don't have to adhere to the same strict austerity as other commoner monks, they also can't be too extravagant, as they don't actually have much money to spare each month.

"Oh, that's great!"

Safia, beaming with joy, cupped her hands in her palms: "No need for gifts, just give me cash... Ouch!"

Cecilia chopped the blue-haired girl on the head and scolded, "Don't you dare ask Yuri for money."

“Yes…” Safia lowered her head in frustration.

Finally, Yuri bought her a set of armor maintenance products.

As evening fell, the three returned to the upper town and said their goodbyes at the foot of the "Twilight Saintess" statue.

It was nearly an hour's walk from the statue of the saint to his own residence, but Yuri did not choose to take a carriage, and along the way he intentionally or unintentionally showed off his new wife hanging on his waist to passersby.

Acquiring the "Azure Queen" means that the last weakness in his current strength has been filled.

Although Yuri is still in the first rank, his output has reached the standard third rank, which is the level of a regular knight entering the Temple Knights.

Furthermore, he still has a lot of room for improvement in a short period of time, after all, the Knight class is only Lv.12 and the Witch class is not even Lv.5.

Leveling up below level 20 is incredibly fast; with Yuri's current comprehension, she can level up quickly with just a little training.

The world's ranks/levels are divided into two types: personal and professional. The personal rank usually referred to is actually the experience lock.

At the first rank, the character's job cap is Lv.19. To reach Lv.20, you must advance to the second rank; the job cap at the second rank is Lv.29, and so on.

Once Yuri felt that his strength was almost there, he decided he could start speeding through the story.

Okay, I'll start classes in St. Cromwell tomorrow morning.

Set yourself a small goal first: reach the top of the seminary.

With that thought in mind, Yuri opened her own door.
