85. oops, scary guy
Orhel continues to walk to the wide clearing.
By the way……
I saw him staggering while walking in the middle.
‘I think he hasn’t woken up yet… is he okay?’
Diaz and Grendel, following me, looked at me and asked.
“Rohan-nim. You don’t have to test now…”
“That’s right. Why don’t you rest a little longer and move on?”
As they said, I had just woken up.
It was also true that he woke up much earlier than Orhel expected, so it was physically demanding.
But I couldn’t help but feel anxious.
‘Dretnor’s thoughts…When I slashed the top of his head. What he said is very annoying.’
Because there are many things I want to hear from Orhel.
I couldn’t stop walking.
walk like that, walk
Orhel stopped to find a place he liked.
“Uh, it’s sunny! It’s okay here.”
Orhel turned to me, frowning in the sunlight.
By the way, the sun is good on the subject of vampires…
No matter how you think about it, it was a vampire far from common sense.
“Brother. I don’t think you’ve realized anything. Shall we try to solve it step by step, starting with what we felt?”
“After passing out. From within, Drettnor pounced.”
“Yes. If I had lost then, I would have become a shell of thoughts.”
I tilted my head.
“The shell of thoughts?”
“It’s kind of like a specter. Drettnor is dead. What’s left of that dagger is literally a memory, a thought left behind by resentment. It’s not the real Drettnor. If it’s defeated from within, our brother’s mind is It means that the thought body must have eaten it.”
“Then it’s not even Drettnor, is Drettnor’s grudge taking over my body?”
“If I lost… I would have done that. That’s why I was guarding it next to my brother.”
“It’s a piece of cake to protect. I was sleeping all over.”
“Kuhmm. Anyway, because I still won. I won’t be seeing that anymore.”
“It’s just over.”
“Let’s move on, Brother.”
Orhel continued by showing her fingernails.
Unlike Drettnor’s green fingernails, they were bloody red nails.
“My second name is pureblooded Orhel. I am a rod who inherited the strongest blood madness.”
At the same time, his eyes also slowly turned from light brown to red.
“You’re pureblood, but you’re a vegetarian.”
“That’s why I did it first.”
“……?”
“If I, a pure-blooded vampire, can do it, then other guys can do it too. You deserve to say that.”
Ohh… I guess he wasn’t just an empty-headed guy.
“Did you think I was an empty-headed bastard when you saw me?”
“not really.”
“No. I don’t know anything else, but I know that expression very well.”
“You must have heard it often.”
“…Ah. Talking to you keeps drying me up. Again, again. Back to the original story.”
Orhel pointed her finger.
“Think of the image of making nails of this shape. Since the power of poison blood has been taken away, it will be more convenient if you think of green nails. Since it is the most basic, it should not be difficult.”
“It’s a fingernail…”
I listened to him and tried to concentrate.
By the way.
“……”
Even after an hour or so, there was no change.
Even Orhel made a puzzled face.
“It’s strange. Why can’t even those who have just become high-ranking vampires do things that are much more difficult?”
“Isn’t the person teaching you strange?”
“I’m sorry if I do that to a normal road! I’m sure I’m thinking of green…”
The moment he said something, an image passed through his head.
Purple…strong, beautiful…
I let Orhel’s words go through one ear and focused on the image.
Whoa!
A layer of purple aura formed on the left arm where he concentrated.
It created a strong and sharp figure that at first glance looked like the arm of a beast.
Not only the fingernails, but the shape that covered the elbow.
After seeing the technique I finally succeeded, I turned my gaze to Orhel.
“I can’t do this. I heard it’s green?”
“Ah, no…why is that purple?…so embarrassing…”
Then he rubbed his eyes.
“By the way…what does it look like?…It’s not poisonous blood level, it must be poisonous?…”
I asked him
“Now, what can I do with this?”
“……Isn’t it me? It’s the first time I’ve seen it in my life.”
Then, he shook his head.
“I don’t think you’ll ever die from poison, hey… And, don’t swing that arm carelessly. It’s as if you’ll run into everything just by brushing against it. Ugh, scary guy. What kind of bloody technology did you make? You’re a human right? ?”
I looked at him with puzzled eyes.
‘No…… I heard you try it?’
Apparently, Orhel didn’t even know.
* * *
“Seeing that you received the power of Drettnor, it seems that the vessel of the body is definitely of a different class… I can chew Gauriel’s wings thoroughly enough. mmmm!”
Not even chicken wings…
I’m going to put up with that kind of craving for a while.
I asked a question.
“There’s one thing that bothers me. According to the mortals…”
“What? Mortals?”
“Hey, you’re talking!”
“Ah, ah…no. I’m surprised that you call mortal birds like some kind of neighborhood pigeons.”
“Anyway! According to the mortals, I heard that Drettnor works hand in hand with the monster of Morzadon. Drettnor passed on his immortality to the monster of Morzadon.”
“The monster of Morzadon…that guy who looks like a mantis?”
“Accurate.”
When the name came out, Orhel’s expression finally changed to that of a vampire lord.
“That’s a bit serious? To sell the Vampire Lord’s immortality and even bring in the monster of the giants… Drettnor, are you out of your mind? But, why did you sell that?”
“I don’t know.”
“Hmmmm.”
he looked up
“Anyway, if Morzadon’s monster is entangled, you might need to move a little faster.”
“The reason is?”
“The monster of Morzadon. He loved eating the wings of angels. And Drettnor would have known where Gauriel’s wings were.”
“…Then wouldn’t it have been stolen already?”
“No. If it was Drettnor’s bastard, he would have dealt with it. If you help him, he’ll let you know. But in the end, Drettnor died at your hands before he could achieve what he wanted. Taking me in means he didn’t want it without my help. Because it sounds like we were able to achieve it.”
“But since you died before you could help… I don’t know what it was, but that purpose wasn’t achieved?”
“right.”
Is it because you live so long?
It looks like there are a lot of loopholes, but unexpectedly, it was Orhel who seemed to be spinning his head quickly.
“There’s no way that Drettnor, who didn’t even reach his goal, gave me the location of the wings. He pretends to be decent on the outside, but he’s actually incredibly clever.”
“Does that mean that the monster of Morzadon is also looking for Gauriel’s wings?”
“If it’s Gauriel’s wings, he’ll be drooling.”
Orhel crossed her arms and looked up at the sky as if recalling the past.
“The monster of Morzadon is a monster that grows by eating angels. He grew as much as he did by eating only small fish… If he ate Gauriel’s wings, it would probably become almost impossible to stop him.”
I remembered what the mortal birds had said.
‘In the end, to stop the Great Invasion, both Drettnor and Morzadon’s monster must be eliminated.’
that means soon.
“We must stop him from taking Gauriel’s wings.”
“Anyway, that’s good if you want to live in peace. I still want to drink the alcohol brewed by humans longer!”
It was Orhel, who was drinking alcohol with a serious face in the world.
Wouldn’t this be a vegan vampire lord, but an alcoholic vampire lord?…
“For now… I’ll have to go somewhere nearby.”
“A nearby place? You mean it’s not one place?”
“Hey, Brother. An archangel the size of Gauriel doesn’t have a pair of wings.”
“That’s right.”
Usually, higher angels had more pairs of wings.
“Gauriel has six wings. In other words, there are three pairs. One pair is said to have caught on Gauriel when he fell…”
“Then, did the two of you separate?”
“I understand right away. So we’d better go somewhere nearby first.”
“I see…”
In this way, our next destination was newly determined.
* * *
while I lost my mind
It seemed that Croyton took care of most of the matters related to the royal family and Earl Harrison.
In the process, I made a lot of contributions, and Creyton posted a report without omission.
Thanks to this, the preparations for the next expedition were carried out quickly and with a lot of bread.
After three days of rest until my stamina recovers.
We are ready to leave Hesete.
As always, the final check started with Diaz reporting to me.
“Rohan-sama, preparations are complete. You can leave immediately.”
“It was a lot of trouble.”
“no.”
“How many people?”
“Rohan-nim and I. And Grendel and Orhel. There are four of us in total. Lord Creyton says we have work to do so we’ll stay.”
“Well.”
Pico, who was riding on my shoulder, helped me with a word.
“Me too, Beep!”
“Ah, that’s right. Five in total, including Pico.”
I nodded and got on my horse.
“Then let’s start right away.”
“Yes!”
Orhel heard my voice and let out a grunt from behind.
“Ah…I haven’t tasted all the alcohol in this town yet. Are you going already?…”
“Noisy. Shut up.”
“Your ears are also bright.”
“If you keep mumbling, I’ll break all the bottles in the supply.”
“…Brother, that’s a bit…”
“Then quietly mount the horse.”
“Nung-nung.”
oh, that…
So, somehow, the preparations for our expedition ended.
Finally departing……
“No! Didn’t I forget? No way, didn’t I really forget?”
……Just before that, an urgent voice was heard.
When I turned my head, there it was.
“Ah, that’s right. Sir Andrew…”
Andrew was running.
Diaz seemed to have forgotten about it for a moment as well, and I could see him rolling his eyes.
Of course, of course, I also forgot.
Andrew noticed our expressions and shrugged his shoulders.
“Wow… that’s too much. They told me to protect the 3 princes, so I’ve been defending them without saying anything, but among themselves…”
I was a little embarrassed, so I quickly raised my hand and stretched it forward.
“Seven knights, including Andrew. Six in total. Let’s go on an expedition!”
The journey of the expedition to find Gauriel’s wings.
took the first step
