chapter 20
good. To some extent, I was prepared for my retirement, so it’s time to move.
I want to promote the growth of Luna and myself, including Kane and Sewol, in a safe place, but I can’t.
After all, my role is to set the table, not the one who eats it.
Besides, as the next title following the one who started, I decided to aim for ‘one who advances’.
It is highly likely that you will get it if you firmly establish your will and do it.
I’ll set the stage with the information I’ve obtained, but Kane’s will is more important than anything else.
‘If you don’t know that the board has been laid, everything is okay.’
Kane isn’t even a god, so how do you know?
Without realizing it, I rubbed my hands like a goblin manager, and then, startled, I shook my hands and got up.
“I didn’t expect to be able to use Alkaido so quickly… … .”
Well, wouldn’t it matter if it’s mutually beneficial?
I pulled out a piece of parchment instead of paper that might tear, and picked up a quill and started writing down a recipe.
“The leaves of the black ash tree, padduk cho. Mucilage aquatic plants and white horse manure mushrooms on a piece of the first horn of a goat.”
I remember that it was almost all common ingredients except for one or two ingredients.
It should be best to catch the plague before it spreads, but how can I do that?
It’s going to be being prepared simultaneously and how did you know that?
On the day the church that spreads the plague finds out that I knew about it and tried to stop it… … .
‘Because they are fanatics, the Kruger family’s shield must be colorless.’
It is obvious that he will try to kill me somehow without thinking about the aftermath.
in exchange for hindering their cause.
So it would be safer to let Kane do it himself to stop the epidemic.
It’s best for me to invent a cure or method for the plague.
“Well, I’m not a hero… … .”
People victimized during the spread of the plague?
To be honest, saving everyone without any sacrifice is impossible.
My strength doesn’t reach that far, and Kane doesn’t either.
However, saving even a little more than the future in which 80% of the continent’s population will fade away.
Because it can be arranged.
Even now, evil god cults are traveling all over the continent offering sacrifices, monsters harming people, and somewhere, someone must be slandered and killed unjustly.
I am not an omnipotent person.
I’m just a fan who wants to see a happy ending because I’m overly immersed in the unfortunate life of the main character of the novel or game.
“I only do what I can do right now.”
I opened my mouth by calling the attendant and handing him a parchment rolled up in a circle.
“Tell Alkaido. Actively buy and keep the things written on this. I will think about its use later.”
“hehehe, Bocchan. I know that the castle’s liquor store also has a seat.”
Hee hee, it looks like he wants to flatter himself when he smiles and says something.
That’s not a list like that… … .
I just gestured as if to get out, and started plotting a simple route in my head.
‘Well, the first place to go is probably obvious.’
Kane’s home town.
If you ask Kane where you want to go first, I think he will tell you there.
Then, after taking a picture there and going to the labyrinth city, get an artifact hidden there… … .
After simply organizing the movement path and stuffing the paper into the small subspace, I found Luna.
“hehehe… uh huh… … .”
Seeing them combing their words while even humming, they look happy… … .
What level of devil is the guy who drove a kid like that into battle and later even showed off the Blood Seeking trait? Seriously.
‘Judge… I was just playing games and aiming for high efficiency… … .’
Tired of being pricked by my conscience, I pressed my heart and cleared my throat, and Luna’s white ears popped! and fluttered.
“Uh, uh, since when… You were there… … ?”
Her face turned peach-colored and her lingering looks really cute like a small animal.
“Since when you hum?”
Of course, there is no correlation between being cute and not teasing.
I said with a bright smile, and Luna’s face turned red beyond the light peach color.
“OMG… uh… … .”
“By the way, did you go through the procedures to take all the horses out?”
It’s a reserve horse, but it’s also property for the knights.
Looking at the Kruger family, it’s a pittance, but since the war horse itself is expensive, it becomes annoying when someone reports it outside.
“yes… Pre-register for the Travelers Guild… I did… … .”
It’s a relatively cheap general term. You won’t need such a procedure, but it’s better to block things that will bother you in the first place.
“Nice job, Luna.”
I stretched out my hand and tugged at his soft ear, and then pointed my thumb over my shoulder and opened my mouth.
“Shall we go see it today?”
“… Bocchan… fitness training… did you?”
“… Don’t talk. Mark didn’t finish until he vomited once in the morning… … .”
In the end, I threw up while running and even had convulsions, so I ended up getting a leg massage.
Feeling the blood draining from my face, I shook my head once and raised the corners of my mouth.
“So you won’t see me?”
“Bo, I’ll see.”
To be honest, the purpose was to see Kane’s ability with his own eyes.
How many times can you comfortably watch such an intense dance live right in front of your eyes, confident that there will be no terrible ending?
‘If I go outside later, I’m sure all I can say is that I’m glad I have the floating feeling trait.’
There may come a day when you can see the cult’s human sacrifice with your own eyes.
If it wasn’t for the floating trait, would I, a normal modern person, be able to endure?
In fact, even now, I’m startled when I hear Kane’s arm snap in an unfamiliar direction, or hear a thump like it’s broken right next to his ear.
‘Even if it’s small, I should get used to it.’
I seduced Luna and we walked to the gymnasium where Kane was rolling.
The sound of metal hitting each other is loud.
The sharp piercing echo in the ear repeated over and over again.
Combination. When they attacked without interruption like water flowing, they blocked it as if they had matched it and twisted their bodies to avoid it.
‘It has improved a lot.’
It hasn’t been long since I switched to a long sword for sparring instead of a wooden sword, but the sharp blue blades collide as if I’m not afraid.
I watched Kane, drenched in sweat, fight with two other knights in a pincer attack with one knight.
“This kid has grown a lot.”
“It’s poisonous.”
“He’s a bit cheeky, but hey. Your skills are fine.”
Even though their swordsmanship is sharp and sophisticated, relatively strong knights seem to have time to chat.
After all, it’s not a real battle where you risk your life, it’s sparring.
While looking around, the guys who shared swords with Kane start to seduce Kane.
“I’m going out to town for a drink today. Would you like to come with me?”
“okay. The meals served in the castle are delicious, but there are times when the alcohol tastes so cheap.”
“not really… I have no idea.”
“Hey. don’t subtract We’re going to a place that does a good job of roasting pigs. Let’s go together.”
It’s hard to hear the voice talking quietly, buried in the sound of shouting from other places and swords being exchanged, but it’s surprising.
It seems like we’ve become quite close, and it’s a pity at the same time as it’s nice to see it, but I have a strange feeling thinking that such a daily life is over now.
“Roast pork… It must be delicious… … .”
In the meantime, Luna also grunted from the side as if she was getting goosebumps at the word roast.
I sighed and smiled as I approached.
“okay? You mean there’s no place where the whole roast is so delicious?”
For a moment, the surroundings become quiet, then become noisy again.
After glancing at me, he shrugged his shoulders as he looked at the knights who were slowly moving away with a face that said, “I’m back again.”
Rumors circulate that if you are unlucky enough to be photographed by me, you will be treated like a slave holding only a pen holder like Halon.
What are you avoiding like a plague god?
I think I’m really going to use all of them as paperwork slaves.
“ah… that is. hahahaha, it’s too commonplace, so it probably won’t suit your taste.”
Who do you think is the head of the old school who is forcibly trying to follow the second round of company dinners with only employees?
Sweating, I watched the article dissuade me with an awkward smile, fearing that I might want to go with them.
“I know. It would be a sin on my tongue to eat that. However, my knights say they want to eat, so can you help?”
Grabbing the gold coin, I accidentally placed it on the hand of the knight who stretched out both hands, and then opened the trait window with a familiar face.
[Dave – the average knight of the Crow Knights who bit the gold coin]
Representative Traits: [Stamina (A)] [Stamina (A)]
Hidden Traits: [Spirit (B)] [Wind Spirit (D)]
Ah, Dave.
Judging by his notice, it seems that he has treated Kane well, and if he raises one more person, it might be easier later on.
“And this is a special gift for you, for having fun with my servant.”
I put my hand back into the subspace and took out one of the attribute stones that I swept from the auction house the other day.
She put it like a jewel shimmering in a strange sky like a cherry on the gold coins piled up in both hands and smiled softly.
“It’s a gift from me, so you wouldn’t just throw it away or sell it, would you? yes?”
Is this boy trying a new type of bullying? Dave, who was looking at me and the attribute stone with a smile on his face, awkwardly opened his mouth.
“that… Rum.”
“Then Kane will go with me.”
I nodded to Kane, and Kane, who was wiping the sweat from his chin with a bandage wrapped around his hand, nodded lightly.
“Then see you in Dalian tomorrow.”
I walk behind Dave’s farewell, but I fall a little, so my back is a little noisy.
All of a sudden, she seems to be carrying around a pretty stone even though she is not a lady. I can hear Dave teasing behind me.
You’ll envy them all later, Dave. Be patient a little bit.
When Dave found out, he laughed thinking that he would be a bit mean, but then he had a strange thought.
Was my original personality this bad?
Or was he too immersed in the role of Adelian?
‘Trait window.’
[Adelian Guardian Kruger―Owner of Gold]
Representative Traits: [Gold Power (SS)] [Arrogance (S)]
Hidden Traits: [Sense of Floating (A)] [User’s Eyes (SSS)]
‘The feeling of floating has decreased.’
What does this mean?
What if that thing drops below F and eventually disappears, what will happen to me?
It’s time to get a little serious.
Could this be because of the floatation trait?
Or is it the influence of Kang Su-ho, who had cynicism, and myself?
‘I’ll think about it properly later.’
In fact, it is not directly harmful to the body.
I sat in my room waiting for Kane to wash up and take a sip of water with a slice of lime in my mouth.
A faint citrus scent.
Anyway, it’s the mental part that the floating trait works, and I don’t think that this sensory part is out of sync.
It’s still okay.
“Muh… … .”
Kane returned while he was pressing Luna’s cheek, who looked a little sleepy after swallowing it.
“What do you think of that expression?”
“How is my expression?”
“The expression when breaking a magic stone.”
Okay, it’s dark, isn’t it? It’s a success.
I smiled round and round and looked at Kane, who sat down with a strange expression on his face.
“It sounds like the fundamental expression of a competent boss. Thanks for the compliment?”
“It’s not good to have a habit of interpreting only your good side.”
“Well, I think it would be great for my mental health. Isn’t it Luna?”
“Uh, uh… would be nice… same… … ?”
When I said to have dinner, I put my chin on my chin and tilted my head.
Now, let’s start.
I have to let the words I want come out of Kane’s mouth without being too explicit.
“It’s something I’ve been thinking about lately. Kane, aren’t you too stagnant?”
I think I’m going to lose interest a bit.
As I lifted one of the knives that were set with the feeling of doing it and swung around, I felt that Kane’s eyes darkened slightly.
“Oh, I guess not… … . very… try hard… to do… … .”
No, Luna. don’t help don’t make excuses
I know Kane works hard, but for now he has to be a bad vice supporter.
“It’s sparring every day, even if that’s the case. I feel a little fresh. is not it?”
“Right. There is no disagreement with that statement. Certainly, as you said, I may have become stagnant and indolent.”
ugh It seems like my conscience is being torn apart.
I slowly changed my smile to expressionless and cast my gaze at Kane.
“I think it needs some changes. What do you think?”
“You think the same as me.”
Something is going well… … .
“In my opinion, I judge that I must leave this castle now. In Dalian alone, my growth rate is expected to slow down sharply.”
Apparently Kane’s golden eyes seemed to shine even more in the bright room with candles or mana lamps lit.
“After all, my goal is out there.”
I opened my mouth at the strangely overwhelming sensation, but Kane lazily laid his eyes and tore the bread as if he had never done that.
“But before that, I want you to visit my hometown once.”
“good.”
As expected, the first destination is Kane’s hometown.
To that place where there are only ruins.
