Wait a minute, is that it?
I approached them and looked at the monster’s corpse together.
Devil Todd. A monster that the two were looking for for revenge.
Apparently, this guy was also under domination and was mixed among the monsters. Things happen again
“·······This guy is right. He’s dead.”
Chercy murmured.
Kellip didn’t take his eyes off the corpse without answering. It was a gaze with complex emotions, including emptiness.
I stood there a little embarrassed, then he turned his gaze to me and said,
“It’s a pity I couldn’t kill myself with my own hands, but thank you.”
I nodded.
Chersey also looked at Devil Todd’s corpse with a somewhat sad face.
It would be a bit futile, but it would have been good for them to leave the Magyeong cleanly with this.
spatula.
Kellip, looking around the body again, cut off the tip of his toe a little, and put it in the leather pocket on his waist.
I wanted to bring it, but I didn’t have to ask. Well, he’s my brother’s enemy, so maybe he’s trying to take it to the grave.
Anyway, that’s all there is to it.
The chores here were over, but the time was delayed due to the disappearance of Ashel.
This time around, a lot of stuff happened. I didn’t get the mystery I was supposed to get.
***
There was no reason to remain in the Magical World any longer, since Chersi and Kelip both achieved their goals.
We went in the same direction anyway, so we continued walking together until we went out. And after leaving Helumenta, we said goodbye.
“Goodbye then, Sir Ron! And Sir Ashel! Thank you so much!”
Chersy waved her hand vigorously, and Kelly nodded her head in one final thank-you note.
Me and Ashel moved again as two.
He lost his horse, so he had to walk differently than when he came. Thanks to the super regeneration, it didn’t matter much to me because I had little stamina.
After a long time of such diligent movement, he returned to the city where he first started, where Baros was waiting.
hee hee hee!
As always, in the moving carriage, I watched the scenery outside the window.
This is the end of the mystery-finding journey. It was time to return to the 7th monarchy.
Except for one, everything else was obtained as planned, so it could be said that the result was satisfactory.
‘Still, the last mystery is still pitiful.’
I ended up thinking about the last mystery I didn’t get from Hallumenta.
A mystery with the ability to throw away one’s own body and take the body of another who meets the conditions.
In a word, it is the ability of possessing.
However, there was a penalty that he could never return to his own body that was thrown away after being able to use it only once.
There was only one reason I was trying to acquire that mystery, which would be of no use to me.
Because there was one villain who would cause a huge disaster in the future through that mystery.
I have cleared all of the main story of Lhasa.
Naturally, everyone was aware of the existence of major villains who would cause major problems along the way.
However, unlike other villains, ‘Nom’ was a person who annoyingly changed his broken body with his possessive ability.
Because of that, the only thing I didn’t know before was what kind of body he was, where he was, and what he was doing.
So, I was trying to preempt the mystery and block the problem altogether…
‘I can’t help it.’
I brushed off my anger cleanly. What to do with the past
All I can do is continue to do my best in the future.
***
The wagon ran and ran, passing through the 1st and 3rd monarchs, and arrived at the 6th monarchy.
It was possible to go directly from the 1st Monarchy to the 7th Monarchy, passing through the Overlord’s Territory, but I wanted to check the news about Valkilov, so I deliberately went through the 3rd Monarchy.
“Whoa….”
So, the current location is Mahea, the capital of the 6th monarchy.
I stood on the window sill of the inn room and looked up blankly at the sky.
There are several months left until the next meeting of the monarchs. After returning to the monarchy, I was contemplating what to do first.
It would have been nice to have had time to move on to Saintea, but that was tight, and there was nothing to do until the next meeting.
Then there was a commotion in the street.
I lowered my head.
A man was grabbing a young boy by the collar and yelling at him.
Hearing what he said, it was as if he had caught something close to being pickpocketed. Pedestrians around them glanced at them.
“Hey, what’s going on?”
Then two armed soldiers approached them.
The man who was holding the boy by the neck explained the situation with a slight smirk.
Read from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Then the soldiers smiled mischievously and looked at the boy.
“Hey, pickpocketing? Get out of the way. Can’t you just say that to such a nasty bastard?”
Then, after pushing the man, he suddenly swung his spear and slammed the boy in the head. He screamed and fell.
The soldiers did not stop there. Rather, as if it was just the beginning, he began to beat the boy who had fallen mercilessly.
“Evil, ahhh…!”
A crackling sound came from the boy’s arm, which was trodden by the soldier’s kick. The boy let out a louder scream.
The man who had been pickpocketed in the hands of excessively harsh hands watched with restlessness.
All the passersby around them were all quiet, and they just went on their way avoiding the soldiers.
I clicked my tongue as I looked down at the scene.
If the water above rots, the water below will also rot.
The security of the 6th monarchs here, ruled by a tyrant, was generally such a thing.
They enjoy stealing money from travelers like a gangster in a back alley or using violence under the guise of punishment. It was the same when playing games.
So the soldiers trampled on the boy for a few minutes and then left.
“Uh, uh….”
The boy, whose body was covered in dirt and blood, squirmed on the floor. Of course, no one was there to help.
As I was contemplating whether or not to help with that, an old man passing by then approached the boy.
An old man with an orange beard with a small body like a dwarf.
As he looked at the boy’s condition, he clicked his tongue, pulled something out of his bosom, and started pouring it all over his broken arm. It was a potion.
So the old man cured the boy and went straight back on his way.
I saw the boy who got up from his seat and kept his head down on his back with a bewildered expression.
“············”.
I watched the series of sights with a bit of interest.
In this world, potions are precious, even with low-quality yawns. He was a rare virtuoso who could freely give such a potion to others.
The old man who was moving away quickly went into an alley and disappeared.
I stared at the place where he disappeared, then stopped looking at the streets and laid down on the bed.
As I stared blankly at the ceiling for a while, something flashed in my mind.
I opened my eyes wide and jumped up as if bouncing.
‘Wait a minute······.’
That old man, maybe?
Because of his strong personality, I was immediately convinced of the old man’s identity. And let out a small sigh.
‘Why is he in this city?’
At this point, he was in the capital of the Sixth Monarchy?
It was an unexpected discovery of a giant.
After thinking about what to do for a while, I hurriedly put on the robe hanging on one side of the room and went out of the inn. Alone, leaving Ashel alone.
I went out into the street and went into the alley the old man had entered.
As I went inside and continued along the road, I soon found a sign for a potion shop in the distance.
I thought it was over there and was about to approach, but I heard a voice coming from the side road.
“Hey there! Stop it!”
I turned my head to something.
Two soldiers I had seen on the street before were approaching me, touching me.
Refrigon (1)
The soldiers who approached this way looked around me.
Then he scrunched up his chin and said,
“What are you? Suspicious? Are you walking around alleys like this in broad daylight wearing robes?”
······What is he saying now?
I wondered what kind of bullshit this was, but I quickly understood the situation.
‘Are you biting right now?’
Compared to other monarch orders, it was especially the 6th monarch order, which was the worst in many ways.
It was not unusual here that the soldiers who were supposed to keep the security robbed passersby’s money bags.
One of the soldiers put a mean smile on his lips and waved his hand. The other clacked the spear as if threateningly from behind.
“If you want to pass quietly, you can see the castle. Or just get beaten up a few places and go with us.”
I just laughed out loud because I couldn’t be bothered by the robbery.
“··············This child is splitting? Are you kidding me now?”
The men’s expressions were severely distorted.
I ignored it and looked up.
There was no middle in my abilities, so there was no way to properly subdue them other than to kill them.
It’s a legend to be able to slaughter monsters like that in the Demon City, but not be able to subdue two soldiers who are less than level 20.
No matter how much it kills, it was about time to jump up the building with a space leap and try to get out.
“hey.”
Another new voice was heard.
Someone from the potion shop I was just heading to was approaching this way.
A short-haired woman with a sword on her waist and a long, oblique cut across her face. In one hand, he holds a bottle of potion that he had just purchased.
The soldiers who saw her were startled for some reason and retreated.
She looked back at them and me once, and said in a cool voice.
“Turn it off, you bastards.”
It was said to the soldiers.
One of them tried to open his mouth with an angry expression, but his colleague hurriedly stopped him.
“Hey, hey, let’s go.”
The two men could only stare at the woman, and then quickly escaped through the side road.
I could hear the murmurs of those walking away.
“Fuck, at best, a slave baboon bitch is cocky…”
······slave?
I looked at the woman who drove the soldiers away with a single word.
But she didn’t even look at me and went straight past me and went on my way. what?
I think I helped, but it’s a bit absurd that he left without saying a word.
I stared at her back, then immediately stopped paying attention and went my own way. I moved towards the potion shop where she came out.
profit.
I opened the old wooden door with a sign and went inside.
The inside was as old as the outside, but the atmosphere was neat and tidy. However, it smelled like a mixture of things.
Potions of various colors are displayed here and there. It reminds me of the scenery I saw in the Alkimas workshop.
As I looked around, an old man walked out of the shelf in the corner. It was the old man he was looking for.
‘You’ve come to the right place.’
He glanced at me and walked over to the cashier’s chair and sat down.
“You’re a guest I haven’t seen. What potion did you come to buy?”
I pondered for a moment and answered.
“Let’s take a look around.”
“Do what you feel comfortable with.”
The old man leaned back on his chair and picked up a cigarette from the desk.
He took a leaf fly from the drawer, stuffed it, lit it, and began to smoke it with his mouth.
I looked at the old man and walked away.
He looked through the potions on the shelf and fell in thought.
The reason I decided to take a look is because I needed to be careful about how to open up a conversation with him.
‘Great Alchemist Gulpiro.’
One of the most prestigious great alchemists on the continent in the present day.
And the person who created the elixir, ‘The Holy Blood of Diferi’.
That was the identity of the old man.
Why is he running an old potion shop in such a sparsely populated alley, but knowing what his situation is at the moment, it was roughly expected…
After organizing my thoughts, I turned my gaze back to the old man.
I spoke to him, who was exhaling cigarette smoke with a languid face.
“Master, how long has this store been running?”
He narrowed his brow.
“That young guy… It’s been about a year now, why?”
it’s one year
I asked again.
“What’s the master’s name?”
“My name? Pleon. You can use it for yourself.”
“no.”
I shook my head.
“You’re asking for your real name, not a pseudonym.”
At that moment, the atmosphere calmed down.
