Auction(1)
It was a dense forest.
Glows echoed as they crashed through the air, and the wind blew past the leaves.
The sound of grasshoppers lingered in silence.
I looked around.
No one was there.
I wondered when I had ever been to this place by myself.
It was my first time seeing it, so I wasn’t used to it.
I had never seen a place like this in the original.
The sky was dark.
What was a little strange was that purple clouds were floating in the dark blue sky.
Looking at the alien sky, I moved forward.
There was a straight road in the forest. It’s like looking at me and telling me to move forward.
Somehow it felt like I had to go.
out of breath
Even though my body was weak, I wasn’t tired enough to walk this much.
My body was strangely heavy.
I continued to climb the mountain while panting for breath.
In the middle of the ascent, a dark blue lightning struck the mountain.
There was no wildfire.
Eventually, when we climbed to the top of the mountain.
At the top stood a woman.
She looked up at the sky with her dark purple hair hanging down.
As I approached and didn’t recognize me, I carefully checked her face.
I wonder if it’s someone I know.
He looked up at the sky and saw the cold heat in his eyes, and lamentation was formed on his face.
The face of a person who loses the meaning of life and lives day by day.
Nevertheless, the appearance that dares to be called a beauty.
I flinched when I saw her face and tried to step back.
Then, suddenly, purple lightning struck.
Whoops!
At the same time, she grabbed my wrist tightly.
Her eyes suddenly broke the shell and filled with lava.
The woman with her pupils vertical left me with just one word.
“Now you can never control my power.”
I frowned at the sound of scratching my stomach.
The moment he was about to say something, the ground went out and he fell endlessly.
The sight I saw before my eyes closed was that she was looking at me with an expressionless expression.
**
eyes fluttered open.
A familiar ceiling catches my eye.
The whole body was damp. He looked like he was sweating profusely.
“A strange dream… .”
I don’t know what kind of dream it was, but at first it didn’t seem like a good dream.
I got out of bed and headed to the chair.
There was coffee in the chair, which Petra had prepared.
Kim cleared the situation while sipping the coffee that came up.
I lived a more peaceful life than I expected.
I thought Ruberic would come in the near future, but for some reason he didn’t come. While I was waiting, I was fully prepared.
“Has it been a month already?”
His lifespan is now 234 days.
You could consume an elixir nearby, but it wasn’t something you could get right now.
At least the things I can do when I get to the upper level.
So, I just enjoyed my normal academy life. It was fun to go to school after a while.
No, I have to say that the academy class was fun?
Perhaps because of the nature of his genius, he was able to focus on transforming the general theory taught by the professor.
for example.
Hwareuk.
It’s like breaking the first-tier magic fireball into small pieces and making them like arrowheads, and then putting a lightning bolt in it to stun them.
disintegration and fusion.
Discovering a new way was more fun than I thought.
There, Professor Akdin’s actual battle.
Since it was able to make low-level movements without using its lifespan, I was able to look at Agnes’s sword more.
While I was subdividing the magic, she had reached the level of the third hierarchy.
The size of the Ice Palace has grown and the hardness of the ice itself has also been strengthened.
A talent that others would call a monster or a genius.
But Agnes didn’t seem very satisfied.
Lennock’s plight.
Even though Jeol-yeong helped her grow, she didn’t seem to like the fact that she was a junior in the third rank.
What would other students say if they found out about her concerns?
“young master. The Duke has sent you a letter.”
“Leave it there. I’ll read it a little later.”
Petra bowed her head at my words and placed the letter on the table.
Short braided hair directed to the floor.
I thought it was a strange hair color. Black hair is not common here.
what is that
After Petra left, I got up from my chair.
Did your father send you a letter? You don’t have anything to say?
I picked up the letter with doubts.
A letter sealed with the family seal, used when speaking as a duke rather than a father.
I opened the seal carefully so as not to break it and checked the letter.
There was only one sentence in the letter.
“The contract is over.”
I knew the meaning of that short sentence, so I immediately threw the letter away.
The letter fluttered in the air and fell to the ground.
“Damn it!”
Is the contract already over?
It’s been a month since I joined the academy. What if it’s over now?
I sighed and looked at the fallen letter.
No, to be precise, instead of coming to the academy, I remembered the conditions the Duke had made.
‘Let the Iliad Academy spread the name of Deron, not Philasia.’
At first he objected to my admission to the academy, but after persuading me over and over, he only accepted.
On condition that the name Deron be reported to him without borrowing Phylasia’s name.
To this end, the Duke asserts that he will not provide any support in the name of Phylasia once he is established in the academy.
He is a person who values efficiency and profit, and considers dignity and honor.
The promise made by the duke must be kept.
It was a fact that everyone in the Empire knew.
“I have a headache.”
I scratched my head.
The fact that you can no longer borrow the power of Phylasia is that there is no one behind me.
There was also the fact that the elixir was no longer provided.
Of course, my personal funds did exist, but I can’t purchase elixir with it on a regular basis.
In other words, from now on, I have to extend my life entirely by my own strength.
The time given to me is 234 days.
I had to devise a way to get the elixir inside.
The Duke asserts that I do not have Phylasia’s support, but that my name will remain the same.
In other words, the fact that I am Deron Phylasia does not change.
A place you can go in the name of Philasia… .
There is only one.
“Oh, but I don’t want to go here… .”
In the original story, after the main character broke in in anger, the place where he saved the fifth heroine.
A dark market where you can get slaves, elixirs, and artifacts.
It was a mask auction held only in a back alley.
However, it is a bit dangerous to go to the place just trusting the value of the name of Phylasia.
It’s a back alley, so it’s a bit difficult to go without information… .
can’t you
I grabbed the doorknob and went outside.
Petra followed me with a gunshot.
“Where are you going?”
“To meet some people.”
Having said that, I told her not to follow me.
Petra wept slightly, but then nodded her head to understand.
It was a tool I really didn’t want to use.
take the lady
**
Adele was eating delicious food in an instant.
The food provided by the denomination was also delicious, but in the end it was the food of religion.
It was incomparable to that of a mayor or aristocrat.
Each time she ate, her hair shimmered a little.
This was her characteristic body.
With the help of the cardinal, the saint’s natural golden hair and eyes were covered, but when she was in a good mood, she could not even stop her divine power from shining.
The fortunate thing is that it is almost invisible, and that the only people who know this constitution of a saint are the cardinals and the pope.
Adele was happily eating food, and the surroundings were noisy.
At the same time, a strange energy is sensed.
She looked back reflexively.
A refined energy envelopes her surroundings. At the same time, people step back, and the surroundings become quiet.
Adele put down the food she was eating and stood up. There were very few people who could do such a thing.
In particular, there is only one way she can make people naturally shut their mouths and withdraw.
“Deron Phylasia.”
“Don’t call me my first and last name.”
He flashed black eyes.
Adele flinched and took a step back.
“Da, why are you here?”
If she had been a saint, it would have been no problem to call her this way, but now she was a commoner who hid herself with a necklace.
A saint who deliberately hid under the status of Adele in order to live a normal life at the academy.
Deron looked at Adele with his eyes wide open, and then opened his mouth.
“Because I’m here to pick you up.”
“Me? why?”
“There is a place to go.”
Adele grinded her teeth inwardly at the arrogant attitude that she would follow.
Although she is a commoner, she is a student of the same Iliad Academy.
Besides, there is no need to listen to Deron as long as there is a cult behind it… .
“Lady.”
Adele widened her eyes.
you’re a virgin How does Deron know that?
“Uh, how?”
“Follow me and I will tell you.”
The corners of Deron’s lips as he said that were slightly raised.
You mean saintess right?
