chapter 88
Episode 88. money to spend (2)
A few days later, Keter’s office.
Maknuni was packing a bag the size of a human torso.
“Why does this needlessly pointy bottom?”
Annoyed, the youngest stuffed into the bag was the highest quality elixir.
This pink liquid, just a sip, was worth 50,000 gold. It is an amount that can buy a luxurious mansion in a big city.
But the effect is certain. Just one drop cures any disease or wound, and clears an impoverished mind.
It was never a rumor or an exaggeration to say that if you had the highest quality elixir, you could still live even if you were decapitated. Of course, as soon as it is cut, it must be poured onto the cut surface.
In addition, there were plenty of elixirs that would make your mouth open.
A thousand-year-old Mandragora that restores youth to an aging body.
The dwarves’ arcane elixir, Kang Kang-hwan, said to make bones as hard as steel when consumed.
A natural elixir, the elves’ arcane elixir that dramatically increases property resistance and affinity.
There was also a pile of nuclei containing the power of high-ranking monsters.
“If the world knew what was in this bag, they would be shocked, right?”
This bag is worth 3 million gold.
With 300,000 soldiers and 10,000 knights, it was an amount equal to the five-year defense budget of Lillian Kingdom.
“older brother-! I’ve packed everything.”
At the cry of the youngest, two people entered the living room.
It was Luke, who had a very different impression from Keter, who came leisurely with a yawn.
Luke had a mild-mannered face, but now he could feel poison in his eyes. It’s only been a few days, but in the meantime, I’ve grown through tremendous adversity and hardship.
“Right now, I think I can win against anyone in Sephira. Except for the head of the household.”
“Relax your eyes, Luke.”
“I will refuse. Now I deserve to be giving strength to my eyes.”
“If you don’t mind getting your eyes pulled out while teleporting, that’s it.”
“… That doesn’t work.”
After relaxing his eyes, Luke, who returned to his innocent look, was surprised to see his blinding eyes.
“what? Daat, what happened yesterday? Suddenly, the atmosphere changed overnight. He has grown taller too.”
“Ahahahaha. Does it show?”
Daat is happy that Luke recognizes her, but on the other hand, just thinking about yesterday makes her sick.
“Tongue, brother. I think my stomach will burst and I will die. now stop… … .”
The youngest, who drank the elixir like water from morning to evening by Keter, suffered as he clutched at his bulging stomach, but Keter didn’t care, and poured the sticky green liquid into his mouth.
“Cheuk, drink, daat. Take your destiny in your hands.”
“Coming and going.”
Even though it seemed like Keter was reluctantly ingesting the elixir, there was a carefully planned sequence.
It’s just that he didn’t consider the youngest’s small stature, but Keter guided him all day so that he could fully absorb the elixir.
In addition, with the addition of medical technology that increased the effect of the elixir by 200%, the youngest became a completely different person overnight.
He didn’t know how to practice Aura or how to breathe mana, but he had 10 years worth of Aura inside his body. 2 years worth of mana has settled down, and his height and skeleton have grown dramatically.
Even so, the original was a boy, so now it’s on the same level as Luke, but-
‘The lost 10 years can be said to have been regained.’
Training is more advantageous for younger bodies. This is because the period of accepting and adapting to change is very short.
Diat had never trained or practiced martial arts in his life. In such a state, the body has already become rigid because of aging. As it was originally, it wouldn’t mean much to train now and learn the technique.
But Keter made it possible.
300,000 gold worth of elixir and inner altar. And with the human body modification he learned from Franken, the world’s best doctor and chimera magician.
‘Master Franken. I’m really using the medical techniques you taught me.’
Keter is willing to learn more about medicine if I can meet him again, but unfortunately I couldn’t meet him.
It may be in the liqueur, but not on the ground. Because Franken went underground a long time ago.
‘I don’t even know how many floors underground it is, but it’s impossible to say I’ll find it.’
Searching for people under the liqueur was the equivalent of finding a needle in the desert, so Keter gave up cleanly.
Anyway, the youngest child was reborn. Raised the youngest, who was below average, to the level of a 1-star knight with the power of the elixir.
‘I think the other guys can raise it to 3 stars without difficulty.’
Of course, the only thing that can be done with the elixir is to support the physical ability and increase the total amount of the aura.
More important than that is combat sense. And it is a body that has been trained to the limit.
‘I’ll make that for you.’
I am also training myself.
Keter left a final message before leaving.
“You’re blind. Lastly, sooner or later, the Birangs will come to liqueur. These are the guys I sent, but they think of me as a benefactor. Take good care of it so that I don’t think about it.”
“The Birang people are the seven evils. Will those who have even challenged the emperor listen to me?”
“So I ordered basic education and sent it off. I will follow your words.”
“As expected, thank you, brother. Have a good trip.”
“Come on, brother go.”
Keter hit the teleport magic circle. Just like when we entered, we borrowed the power of Accra’s ring to escape the liqueur.
Flashing, scarlet sparks scatter.
Right before the teleport, Luke shed some tears. The week in liqueur with Keter was the hardest week I’ve ever lived.
When I return to Sephira, I will lie down and rest all day. Both the body and the mind were at their limits. Keter also told me to rest properly after work, so there was a justification.
But Luke was mistaken. Keter said her job at Liqueur was over, but she didn’t say that everything was over.
The real hardship started from now on.
* * *
“Uh hmm hmm – you’re sleeping well.”
Keter’s dwelling place.
Butler Zach was trimming the potted plants like he was handling a baby. They were flower pots that Jacques had purchased at his own expense to offset Keter’s harsh atmosphere.
We selected plants that do not have flashy colors but have a neat and tidy charm, and we paid special attention so that Keter would not feel repulsive.
supportive position.
“hmm?”
Zach knelt down at the strange sound he heard from under the planter shelf.
“Where do you hear me? Is it the sound coming from downstairs?”
It was the moment when Zach, unable to find the source of the sound, put his ear to the floor.
Flash!
A flash of light flashed, and a magic circle was engraved on the floor.
“omg?!”
The moment Zach stepped back in fright, the flowerpot shelf on top of the magic circle was thrown out of the magic circle.
“Ugh!”
Zach throws his body to avoid flying shelves and flower pots. A torrent of dirt fell on his head.
The circular magic circle bounces everything inside it to the outside. Not even the smallest grain of sand is allowed. It was an anti-overlapping phenomenon that made sure there was nothing in the place of teleportation.
Kwa-kwa-kwa-kwa!
When it became an environment with nothing on top of the magic circle, an orange spark exploded and the two appeared.
Udang-tang-tang!
Luke, who appeared slightly floating in the air, landed staggering as if about to fall, and Keter landed lightly as if coming down the stairs with his right foot leisurely.
“Wow.”
As soon as he arrives, Luke grabs a pole and vomits.
Keter clicked her tongue as she looked around the messy house.
“Inspired. Did a war break out while I was away?”
“… … .”
Jacques was speechless with the relief that Keter had returned safely, and the sense of loss that his prized flower pots had been smashed.
At that time, the door to Keter’s quarters was opened roughly, and knights and soldiers rushed in.
“Hey, Master Keter!”
The knight, who had already hung arrows on the string, lowered his bow in surprise.
“What is this again? Why did you come in silently? It even holds a bow.”
“young master. Let me explain.”
Zach, who had come to his senses, motioned for the knight to return.
“As you can see, I am fine. let me out.”
“yes… . Excuse me, Deacon Zach, and Master Keter.”
The knight saluted and led the soldiers out.
Luke, freed from the aftereffects of the teleport, said while wiping his lips.
“father. It wasn’t a real war, was it?”
It was impossible for a fully armed knight to enter the bed of a blood relative without any warning, except in wartime.
In addition, the number of soldiers who came along was also ten, which was an excessive number to say that they were waiting nearby.
In other words, it means a patrol team, and the default was that the peacetime patrol team consisted of three soldiers. But that number has more than tripled.
Concerned about Luke, Zach said with an ambiguous expression.
“It wasn’t a war, but there was a pretty big incident. just two days ago. Before I explain, I’m glad you came back safely. young master.”
Zach nodded and greeted Keter. Keter waved her hand and accepted it.
“Tell me what’s going on.”
“There was an intruder. I was trying to free the Vident family knights who had been imprisoned.”
“yes!? An intruder!?”
Luke was excited, but Zach continued his story in a calm voice.
“Calm down. All the intruders were killed, and the servants who helped inside were also captured. The heightened vigilance is the family head’s plan to bring knights and soldiers from outside into the family after this incident.”
“Didn’t the head of the family formally protest against the Vident family? Fighting between families from the same kingdom is not allowed.”
“The people who haunted the prison were assassins. As soon as he was subdued, he committed suicide, so it would be unreasonable to associate him with Vident. The servants who opened the door from the inside also admitted to receiving the money, but they vehemently denied that they had colluded with Vident.”
“It seems that our Sephira only suffered again.”
Contrary to Luke’s anger, Keter said as he put down the luggage he had brought with him.
“I didn’t get hit, I blocked it well. Judging by the atmosphere, no one seems to have died.”
“Your words are correct. The intruders didn’t even get to jail. All thanks to Master Tarragon.”
“Oh, I guess Tarragon did something?”
“He first noticed the suspicious movements of the servants, and spent half a day in ambush to find and quell the intruders early. The head of the household praised Master Tarragon himself.”
“If it was my father’s personality, I think he would have only praised him. You have to give them a reward, something that others would like to receive too. isn’t it?”
“If it was the family head’s temper, I don’t think he would have given me any compensation as the young master said.”
“Well, whatever that is. Did Gyro come?”
“hahahaha, I was going to tell you first. How embarrassing Sephira was because of him… … .”
Gyro, the sword of the southern part of the former era and the owner of the obelisk, the demonic sword.
Deacon Zach frowned, remembering the first time he met him.
