chapter 18
Episode 18 Crimson Garden August
The Undead.
Crimson Garden August.
Krashu actually tried to steal her immortality a long time ago.
But that was not what he meant.
‘Arthur.’
He told Krashu to do so to the Crimson Garden in front of him.
But Krashu failed.
It was because of the single dial created to steal her immortality.
The conditions were simple.
Be stronger than Crimson Garden August.
And Krashu couldn’t fulfill that single condition.
Because Krashu at that time was just a lump of curse with a tough name.
Arthur didn’t say much even if Krashu couldn’t steal it, cut the Crimson Garden into pieces and immersed it directly in the lava tube.
She added that she would live eternal life, repeating melting and recovering there all her life.
‘At that time, Arthur’s son trying to steal immortality from me must have been to use me as an immortal curse absorbing tool.’
That’s why I was able to show that kind of attitude.
Krashu looked at the present Crimson Garden in front of his eyes.
After Krashu showed her skill, she was still frozen and unable to say anything.
Of course.
Her skill was the only way to erase her cursed immortality.
So it took quite some time for the silent Crimson Garden to speak again.
“Trade terms.”
And her eyes turned serious for the first time.
There wasn’t even an inch of sarcasm left until now, and she could feel the sincerity in Crimson Garden’s eyes as she was looking straight at her.
She wanted to erase immortality no matter what.
“Help me get stronger.”
And Krashu immediately brought out the details of the deal she had been thinking of from the beginning.
Krashu definitely got stronger.
And she will be stronger in the future.
You will be able to steal more skills, learn secret techniques, and polish them to become a strong man.
But that is only the realm of genius.
And Krashu knew very well how helpless a genius was in the face of destruction.
Genius changes the world.
However, geniuses cannot protect the world.
The world needed more than a genius.
So, Krashu did not choose any means or methods.
Even if the person in front of you was a world eater, Krashu intended to devour everything at random.
In Crimson Garden, she is a strong person who was compared to Arthur only by the species she handled.
With her help, she will definitely be stronger than she is now.
‘I have no intention of perishing with the world.’
To be honest, the world was a mess for Krashu.
She was born half-penny and went through all kinds of hardships. Instead of being acknowledged, she was even betrayed by her colleagues.
On one side of my heart, there was also a desire to just perish.
But nonetheless.
This is the world you live in.
Without the world, there is no confidence.
It is not for the sake of others.
Only oneself can prevent destruction in order to survive.
So, Krashu endured far and wide, and tried to prevent destruction once again.
That is Krashu Balheim.
He was a half-penny who was treated like a poison.
“This is like a condition to erase your immortality.”
She needed to be stronger than she was to unlock her dial in the Crimson Garden.
There is still no way to know if that strength is just her eyes or her perception.
But Dial presented it.
So, in a way, the purpose of Krashu and Crimson Garden had something in common.
If Crache gets stronger, the condition of the dial is fulfilled and it can take away the immortality of Crimson Garden.
So Crimson Garden also needed to make Krashu stronger.
“Is it a condition imposed on the skill?”
“Yes, if you can’t fulfill that condition, even I can’t take away your immortality.”
Hearing Krashu’s words, the Crimson Garden looked at him with his arms crossed.
‘It’s not a lie.’
In the first place, the regressor could not have offered himself such a deal without thinking.
‘Please make me stronger.’
For some reason, a loud laugh came out.
I wonder if this kid knows what that means.
It means to become a disciple of the Dragon King.
‘…… Yes, rather than chasing meaningless things while raising the level of World Erosion, it would be okay to grow something tangible right in front of you.’
Those who can kill themselves.
She is the one who deliberately researched to find him, raising the rating of her world erosion.
But Krashu suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.
If you want to get rid of immortality, you can even sell your soul.
What is the point of being a disciple?
A provocative smile was drawn on her lips for the first time in a long time.
“Good. If that’s the condition, don’t grow it. I will make you the strongest in this world.”
Looking at the confident Crimson Garden, Krashu finally let go.
Then he got up and held out his hand.
“Then take good care of me. Cream.”
“Yes, me too… ….”
At that moment, Crimson Garden’s face frowned.
“What, kid? What did you just call me?”
“Isn’t Crimson Garden long to sing?”
Crimson Garden put on a stunned expression, but Krashu only showed a calm reaction.
‘He’s the only one who called me cream.’
Unexpected that another person calling herself Cream would appear in this world, she exhaled generously and clenched her fists.
“Call me Master.”
And hit Krashu on the head as her mentor.
* * *
Krashu, who did not know that she would have a good night, finished her investigation with the servant of the Crimson Garden who returned as her investigator.
As she was still touching her hair, still feeling a tingling sensation, a bird tapped her beak with its beak on the window of the carriage in which Krashu was riding.
The bird was very red in color and had a black star on its neck.
Krashu opened the window and the bird landed on Krache’s shoulder.
“Cream, isn’t the color too noticeable?”
As soon as I called it Cream, it was a bird that tried to peck at its cheek with its beak.
This bird was none other than another species sent by Crimson Garden.
“Don’t worry. Because you can change the color as much as you want.”
With that said, Crimson Garden changed the color of her plumage to black.
“How is it? She matched the ugly pupil’s hair color. Something like a crow looks just like you.”
“Thank you for the compliment. Crows are smart.”
“I said it because my insides were black, it went well with the crow.”
Should I bake this bird soon?
It was Krashu who was seriously thinking about it.
“So what about the body?”
The fact that the bell was sent meant that the main body was somewhere else.
So when Krache asked, she picked her own hair.
“Don’t you know roughly?”
“How he treats regressors.”
As they say, Krashu knows what state her body is in.
She is immortal.
She is actually an immortal who sleeps forever.
Her body lies asleep with her eyes closed somewhere in this world.
And the only way to wake up from that slumber is to erase immortality.
So she wants to erase immortality.
It was because eternal sleep was, in a way, worse than death.
That’s why Crimson Garden dealt with the largest number of eroders in the world.
Because they can see the real world through their eyes, not a dream.
‘With that in mind, those servants showed fighting power comparable to Arthur’s.’
Of course, all the servants died in the process.
Looking at that alone, wouldn’t Crimson Garden’s main body be stronger than Arthur’s?
‘In the end, my body was cut into pieces and drowned in lava. It’s something you don’t know.’
In the meantime, I could feel the rattling of the wagon.
The wagon finally started to depart.
Goodbye to the sickest family.
You must never come back for a while.
‘I’ll have to stop by at least once, after all, when my father returns sooner or later.’
Until then, goodbye.
After about 4 hours in the carriage, Krashu finally arrived at Cheongsonggwan.
She had only been away for a few days, but she was feeling like she had come home when she saw something white walking towards the carriage.
Looking at that figure, Krashu immediately thought of a white chick.
The identity of that chick was none other than Bianca.
She approached Krashu, who got off the carriage, and said.
“You’re back.”
Since he’s a fiancé, did he come to meet you?
Judging by the fact that she is holding a book tightly in her arms, she must have heard the sound of a carriage while reading, and came in a hurry.
Bianca, still expressionless, circled around Crache lightly.
Bianca nodded her head as she watched what she was doing.
“You are not hurt.”
“Where did you want to get hurt?”
“Because I heard she was in danger.”
Are you worried about yourself?
“He said as if he would come soon, and he did not come until several days later.”
“This is what I did my best and came quickly.”
Bianca nodded as if she didn’t know that either.
Seeing that, Krashu thought that her Bianca’s expression was more blunt according to today.
“Have you been?”
At that moment, Aliod greeted Krashu.
“So, everything happened at Cheongsonggwan, right?”
“There was nothing except for a letter addressed to Master Krashu.”
“A letter?”
The moment Krashu showed his doubts, Aliode pulled out a letter as if he had prepared it in advance.
And Krashu knew who the addressee was as soon as he saw the letter.
There was only one woman who would send a letter with lip marks like this.
‘Darling.’
Darling Danpelion belonged to the Alchemist Lord of the future.
I don’t think it’s been that long since I went to the Holy Land.
I can’t contact you this early.
Krache opened the letter and scanned the contents.
After a while, Krashu put on a stunned expression.
‘Is this because I am a bastard?’
It meant that he would come soon because he had created a cure for discoloration disease.
Creating a cure for discoloration disease in such a short time.
Krashu looked at Aliod.
“I think this is a good story for you.”
“Yes?”
Since it was Ali Aude, who has a daughter with discoloration disease, Krashu said that and folded the letter carefully and put it in her pocket.
“A guest will come soon. Darling Danpelion, let him in when he comes.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Aliode, who questioned Krashu’s words but immediately lowered his head, was truly professional.
That’s why Krashu also wanted to keep him by his side.
In Krasch’s eyes, he saw Bianca, who was still standing at a distance looking at him.
“Mister Crache, Bianca was very worried.”
Meanwhile, Ali Ord secretly told Krashu her words.
“You said Bianca was worried?”
Is that Bianca?
After she returned to the past, she became friendly with Bianca in her own way.
So I couldn’t believe that she even cared about her.
“When Master Krashu said he was caught up in the world erosion, I was about to go to his home.”
However, Krashu realized that he meant it when he heard that he had tried to visit his parents’ house.
Even if you don’t have emotions, you do worry.
Well, that’s the realm of thoughts rather than emotions, right?
Come to think of it, it’s been a while since I checked Bianca’s dial recently.
At this point, she must have become her friend.
Krashu immediately activated the black hood.
At that moment, a dial appeared in front of her eyes.
Krashu, who had been looking at the dial with his eyes wide open, widened his eyes after a while.
‘The first dial is unlocked.’
Bianca’s first dial, which had been blocked, was unlocked.
Krasu faced Bianca who was looking at him expressionlessly.
Anyway, it seems like they’ve become Bianca’s friends now.
I felt it was worthwhile to have taken care of her by her side.
There is only one dial left.
With this, Bianca will get her feelings back soon.
For some reason, Krashu, who was in a good mood for her, raised her hand and stroked Bianca’s hair.
Then Bianca looked at Krashu with a puzzled look on her face.
But I didn’t mind stroking her hair, so I stayed still.
“Bianca, Bob.”
“Not yet.”
It’s still a day to grow up, so do you starve yourself?
“Aliod, prepare something delicious.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Watching Aliode go to get ready right away, Crimson Garden in the shape of a crow came out of the carriage and landed on Krashu’s shoulder.
Seeing that, Bianca widened her eyes slightly.
“Ah, come to think of it, I forgot to introduce myself. It’s a new member.”
Krache somehow saw Bianca’s twinkling eyes, and lowered her posture to give a closer look at the Crimson Garden.
Then Bianca carefully raised her small hand and stroked Crimson Garden’s fur.
“…… It is soft.”
Crimson Garden also stayed still, perhaps not hating Bianca’s touch.
“What is your name?”
It doesn’t seem like he’s even curious about why he brought the crow.
Did Bianca like animals?
Seeing Bianca asking her name, Krashu put a devilish grin on her lips.
“Cream.”
It’s a secret that Crimson Garden pecked me once more after that.
