148 – Arcius – 13(Complete)
After parting ways with the Duke and Duchess, I went straight to the warehouse of the Duke of Philasia.
It seemed like he would have stopped me from heading to the warehouse when he suddenly arrived, but the butler guided me to the warehouse as if he had been waiting.
“Before leaving, the duke said something in advance. “I just follow that.”
“Your father?”
“Yes, there was an order that if the Young master returns before the Duke, he can do what he wants to do.”
Saying that, the butler stepped back. It is said that only the owner of Philasia and those authorized by him can enter the warehouse.
After hearing those words, I looked up at the door of the warehouse.
I can see it on a wooden door that appears to be about twice my height.
Cheolkeong.
I held the handle in my hand and pulled it, but the door did not open, perhaps because it was a simple wooden door.
If you think about the wealth that lies behind this door, it shouldn’t be ordinary.
I opened my eyes wide and looked around the door. Then, the mana condensing near the doorknob catches my eye. Mana, mixed with Katrell’s and various other things, remains on the handle along with hardened blood.
‘Are you asking me to add blood?’
Cattrell did not give me any hints about the warehouse.
I asked the deacon if there was anything my father said about this, but he just shook his head.
Am I supposed to discover it myself? Do you think you will solve this problem to gain wealth?
For a moment, I thought about breaking down this door. You can even split it in half with your fist, without even using a sword. The magic power that has been painted over can be sorted out with the auror wrapped around the fist.
But I didn’t necessarily do that.
What Katrell wants is to find a way into this warehouse.
If you simply use force to enter, you are no different from a noble than a gangster.
Psyuk.
I glanced down at my palm and lightly scratched it.
A pale blood line is drawn and blood is leaking little by little from the wound.
I grabbed the handle again just like that.
Then the door moves. A clanking sound was heard from inside, and the surface of the simple wooden door shifted as magical energy stirred.
Chi Ik.
Eventually, when the movement of the door ended. The interior of the warehouse comes into view. A magic stone stuck in a corner and gold and silver treasures filled the warehouse. Even artifacts and unidentifiable documents hanging on the wall.
Everything that could make money is included. As long as you don’t do anything special in the future, you can easily save your family, and it’s wealth that can save a decent family.
I was purely amazed when I saw the overwhelming amount.
I occasionally wandered around and saw all kinds of things, but what was surprising was surprising.
… Well, I don’t have any intention of being greedy for this.
As I said before, money is not that tight.
Even if the money is not provided by the Duke of Philasia, there are plenty of ways to make money.
In some cases, you can just clear the dungeon by receiving a quest. If you have force, there are plenty of ways to make money in this world.
Nevertheless, the first thing I stopped by this warehouse was out of curiosity.
Kattrell also knows my level, so he would know that I have a lot of money even without having to visit the warehouse.
Also, there is no need for artifacts to protect the body or elixirs to increase lifespan like before.
Then why?
Did Katrell send me here?
Simply to show the wealth I will inherit as the eldest son of the family?
He is not that short-thinking.
Even though I know that the wealth that will be reflected in my eyes will not be considered that great, there is no way I can show it to you.
If it’s Katrell, if it’s my father, there must be another reason than that.
He wandered around the warehouse thinking that.
I was soon able to find the reason.

Aksi tilted his head as he watched Der On coming out of the warehouse.
Even if you don’t know much about her duchy, you can guess some of her wealth over the Philasia family.
That’s because the family fed them magic gemstones of the highest quality because they felt it was a waste of time waiting for mana to teleport.
A family that does such things calmly and has a dragon as a wife cannot possibly be poor in its warehouse.

Isn’t this the family that consistently gave Deron elixirs to prevent him from dying from demonic energy?
So when Deron came out of the warehouse empty-handed, Aksy circled around him to see if he had brought anything with him.
“… “What are you doing?”
When Der On questioned her actions, Aksi stepped behind her and answered.
“Did you bring anything?”
“What do you want me to bring?”
“Anything!”
Aksi also knows that Deron is not that interested in wealth.
If she was interested she would have searched her rares and made money after leaving the academy.
He had many means to make money, but he did not do them.
From that alone, I could tell that he wasn’t that interested in money.
But I never thought I would bring anything.
Since she had already entered the warehouse, I thought she would come out with at least one gold coin….
“There was nothing special.”
Next to me, the butler opens his mouth wide.
Since he is the butler who brought the magic stone earlier, he should know roughly what is in the warehouse.
So, how absurd are Deron’s words?
“Tsk tsk tsk.”
“Why are you smiling?”
Aksi burst out laughing as she looked at Deron’s empty hands.
“It’s just like you.”
The decision not to bring anything was due to Deron Philasia’s own decision.
This is a decision that can be made because of him.
Aksi smiled.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about…. We have places to move to.”
“Hey, move? “Are you really going to make me teleport again?”
At Deron’s words, Aksi flinched and took a step back.
Even if you fill mana with magic stones, teleportation is basically a magic that requires a lot of effort.
No matter how much of a dragon you are, if you use such teleportation too much, you will inevitably lose a lot of mental power.
Even more so because Aksy had been using teleportation indiscriminately for the past few days.
“No, you don’t need to use teleportation.”
“What is that….”
Deron takes out an old parchment from his pocket and tears it. At the same time she held her hand.
Then, her vision changed along with the feeling that her entire body was moving.
Feels like using a teleport.
Aksi frowned at the sudden, distorted vision and the pounding that came with it.
“This….”
There is no way Deron would use teleportation.
I know he can use magic as well as a sword, but that doesn’t mean he’s at the level of using teleportation.
Just because you reach the end with the sword doesn’t mean you have reached the end of magic.
Even more so because teleportation is a top level magic that requires an extremely high level of skill.
If so.
“Teleport scroll?!”
“It was in the warehouse.”
Akshi opened his mouth wide. Why weren’t top-level magic such as teleportation relegated to scrolls?
Not only can paper not be able to withstand the magical power that will be used when the magic is activated, but in order to withstand it, twice the magical energy required for teleportation must be poured into it.
However, the magic power required for teleportation level magic. How do you cover twice that amount?
It is impossible to say that even if there is a top-level magic stone.
If a dragon, especially a dragon that has been around for quite some time, is not used carefully….
A long-old dragon.
Aksi didn’t bother to ask Deron. There was definitely someone in the Philasia family who could create that scroll.
“But here….”
After uncovering the identity of the scroll, Aksi looked around.
It was a fairly familiar sight. Ruined temples and collapsing pillars.
Even the faint light coming down from the center.
After looking around, Akshi closed his mouth.
This was not simply a familiar place. Here is….
“It’s my rare.”
I felt strange. Why did Deron bring him here? Aksi couldn’t figure out why. If he had something to say, he could do it somewhere else.
The reason he came here by using the teleportation scroll. What is that?
“Yes, it is your rare. And.”
I can hear Deron moving next to me. He is taking something out of his arms again.
Aksi stood still and watched.
“This is also the place where I will hear answers from you.”
In Deron’s arms, a softly shining ring emerges.
She has black hair, similar to her and Der On’s hair color. Light is engraved there.
Akshi opened his eyes wide and looked at the ring. It’s because he didn’t know that he would receive something like this here.
She couldn’t say anything and just stared at the ring.
“I don’t know if your mother told you, but she said you were already living your life. “It is not a pastime that will soon be forgotten.”
“… ….”
“So, I chose this place. “To let you enjoy the end of play and the beginning of life.”
Aksi’s eyes are shaking. Her eyes glanced alternately between her ring and Der On.
“I ask. Aksi.”
“What, what?”
“Would you mind if I became your life?”
Akshi held her breath, then she let it out loud.
You shouldn’t worry for long. If it goes on for too long, it won’t end well.
So.
So.
She had to overcome.
The fear, the forgetfulness, the memories I have experienced up to this point.
“Whoa….”
I took a breath, closed my eyes, and opened them.
Aksi held out her hand toward the ring held out by Der On.
Then she said.
With a face stained red.
“I want you to be my life.”
