Book 17 Chapter 2: Part 5

“I suppose this means I guessed right?”
Shin had followed Raig in a private room, with Tiera and Milt in tow, then asked this question.
“My apologies, Sir Shin, but I would like you to speak first. As I said before, the items used in the 『World Rift Wall』 project are a military secret. One of utmost secrecy.”
The information about the plan and the items themselves were guarded very closely, to prevent ill-intentioned people from stealing them.
There were also several disputes within the empire concerning the creator of the items in the first stage of the project, so the creator’s identity was kept hidden to protect the people related to them from harm.
The creator was a nobody at the time, so they used their name for the project’s name too at first.
“The items’ creator is Barakia Wallcraft. In current terms, you’d call him a Chosen One. He was a blacksmith and alchemist, someone very passionate about building walls. His favorite words were ‘Parapets are the best thing ever’. That’s the Barakia I know. The items used for the 『World Rift Project』 are powered up versions of that item, maybe?”
Shin pointed to the item card in Raig’s hands. Since this world offered more freedom than the game, it wasn’t strange for Barakia to have become able to create such items.
