Maybe it was because of the blood shed, but even though I woke up after a long sleep, I was tired and fell asleep again.
I inadvertently grab my wrist at the hand that carefully wakes me up, and when I open my eyes at the thick sensation, I see the face of the priest from earlier.
“Get up. A high-ranking priest has arrived.”
I slightly pull myself up and lean my back against the head of the bed, and a gentle-looking older man approaches me with a smile.
“I heard you brought a severed leg.”
“Ah, that’s it.”
Seeing him with full gray hair, I opened the subspace and took out my leg with blurry eyes and handed it to him.
I quickly handed it over at the heavy, cold, and somehow strange feeling, and the old priest looked around while holding my leg.
“It is very well kept and very neatly cut. Since the cut surface is close to smooth and there is no lost part, recovery afterward will be quick.”
I nodded my head and opened my mouth at the words that it would be unnatural right now, but I will be able to walk on my own feet.
“Then please take care of me.”
I paid a pretty good price too. Holding my knees, facing my bluish legs, the priest utters a few spell-like words, and the flesh begins to move and stick together.
Then, as the lower priest kneaded and massaged my legs and rubbed them, the legs that had died and purple blood vessels gradually came back to life.
“Ugh… … .”
Crazy, stinging sensation in my legs, as if I woke up after sleeping on it for 30 hours, it feels like my legs are full of electrical eggs and then bursting.
It was less painful to be a very strong pain, and too painful to be tickling, so I crouched down with a cry of pain.
Soon, the tip of my toe twitched as if I had a cramp, and I twisted my body at the feeling of my feet turning. So, the lower priest rubs hard and loosens the stiff muscles.
Damn, I’ll never use my body as bait again.
What’s harder now than having your leg cut off?
Did you shed a bowl of cold sweat? As if the end had finally come, the trembling of the body stopped and the strength was released, and when I caught my breath, the two priests stood up looking at me.
“It’s done.”
“Take a break and wake up. The more you walk, the faster you will recover.”
Okay, so I hurriedly gestured for them to go out, and the two quickly left as if they had finished their business.
Only after the two of them closed the door and went out did I openly roll over on the narrow bed and get sick.
Of course, it’s a world with real magic, but I didn’t think it would stick together and stay fine.
Still, it was so painful that I even shed a few tears at the end, but in the midst of that, I thought that it was a relief that Kane and Luna were gone.
“Long live the real richness… … .”
Even if you cut off your legs and put them on, the only thing you can think about is that it’s a relief that I didn’t see an embarrassing figure with tears in my eyes. This is a trait that weak modern people need.
I lay in bed, thinking about something that was not very nutritious, and then suddenly looked down.
Meticulous.
When I move my toes and turn my ankles, I feel a bit of a difference, but it moves well.
It would be better to keep using it as the priest said to reduce this awkward feeling.
“Um… … .”
Looking outside, the sky is getting brighter as if it was just dawn.
“Should we go for a walk in the morning… … .”
When the sun is completely out and Luna or Kane come, especially Luna, if I go for a walk with my new legs, I think she’ll be worried. Let’s take a walk before coming. Wash your wet body a little.
As I got up from the bed and stepped on the floor, I felt a sense of discomfort in my legs.
In response, I searched the subspace, took out a suitable piece of wood that seemed to have been collected for firewood, and took a step outside, holding it instead of a staff.
I didn’t know because I couldn’t see it except for the room because I lost my mind and moved, but since the labyrinth city is a big place, the temple is also quite big.
I see people cleaning from dawn in the well-decorated landscaping… … .
“… … ?”
I don’t discriminate based on looks, but the woman I met while sweeping the floor with a broom, dressed as a maid doing chores, had an indescribable appearance.
At first glance, they look normal, but pearly eyes that look like aurora are blooming. Royal blue hair with an indeterminate depth of color.
If you look at that face you wouldn’t know if you just passed it by, close your eyes and look at it again, and the beauty will bloom and take your breath away, as if you were painting a new face layer by layer.
‘what.’
Unfortunately or fortunately, the richness allows me to look at her like this without being enchanted or fascinated, but how did the others just leave her behind?
‘Tre… … .’
“you are… You have a strange destiny.”
The moment you open the trait window, she approaches and opens her mouth.
“Hey, you.”
Who is it?
Neither the original nor the game have any characters that come to mind.
The moment I met those pearl-colored eyes, he bowed his head in greeting and slowly backed away.
“we. We will meet again someday.”
“Wait, wait.”
Damn, the legs… … .
I moved as if I was dragging my uncomfortable leg, but around the corner she disappeared like a ghost. Like someone who never existed from the beginning.
To just spit out an intrusive sound and disappear. I feel strangely uncomfortable… … .
The sky brightened as if the sun had risen, and the distinctive smell of dawn in the air disappeared.
I wonder who that woman is, but it’s more urgent to wash up and go to my room before Luna and Kane arrive.
‘Ha, really. If you watch a movie or drama, this is a foreshadowing, huh?’
If you find it later, ‘yes? There are no women like that in our temple.’ They say that
Then it’s more insulting. Ah, then I have to run right away and catch it. Can you just let it go!
Faithfully creating a situation from the viewer’s point of view, after washing, I lay down on the bed as if I had never gone outside, and I took out a book from the miscellaneous items I had swept from my room and fluttered about.
At first, I was worried about what I was doing in a place where there were no computers or cell phones, but people are animals of adaptation.
When I was young, I had fun just looking at things like animal encyclopedias and dinosaur encyclopedias, but after coming here and seeing a list of monsters, it was quite interesting… … .
“young master… Fortunately, the priest must have been there.”
“Is Luna here? Kane has a better face too.”
After reading it for a long time, he raised one hand and waved it to Luna and Kane at the sound of a call, and smiled.
“So, did Aria have a good time?”
“Yes, Bocchan asked why he didn’t come with me, so I sent him off in moderation. He said that he would come back after working at his home for a while and earning money.”
Will Arya be able to come back to the Labyrinth City?
I thought of Arya and muttered, “You shouldn’t let go of the paperwork slave.” Luna rubbed her leg and stretched her body.
“… Bocchan, you didn’t come to wash yourself on foot, did you?”
Why are you so clean? I calmly opened my mouth at the sight of Luna sniffing near my body while rubbing my legs.
“Originally, if you’re handsome, you’re fragrant even if you don’t wash it.”
“Looks like something is wrong with your head. Call the priest.”
As if my words were ridiculous, he glared at Kane, who instantly crushed him, then raised his attached leg high and moved his toes to change the topic.
“how is it. Are you fine? Retired now… No, can I retreat?”
As Luna watches my toes jam-jam, the corners of her eyes go up. At that, I slowly lowered my legs, unfolded the blanket on my own, covered myself, and lay down again.
Even if I turn my ankle inside the blanket and check it, there’s nothing wrong… It is unfair.
“Stay in bed for at least three days. You know? And now, since I will always be here, please make me do all the little things.”
no, what are you talking about I don’t know what Ruby did to get in after I broke down the dungeon, but I would have known through the investigation that I entered and came out of a forbidden place.
Me and Luna stuck here to do the aftermath?
I laughed hahahaha while watching Kane, who wouldn’t be strange even if he put a knife instead of his tongue, and Luna, who was timid.
“Luna, have your jokes increased?”
Slowly resting his chin, he makes a dark face for the first time in a while and slowly raises his gaze.
“Do you both have a lot of time? Even if I rest here, you cannot rest. is not it?”
“but… … .”
“Originally, I was the only combatant you thought of. Luna was originally your maid… … .”
I raised the corners of my mouth as I cut off Kane’s words, which opened his mouth as if defending Luna, who was sullen.
“What are you talking about. My party should be all round. What are you doing here when you both have to go around the dungeon and get used to it? uh? Can’t you do anything without me?”
At my words, both of their mouths are closed. I took a water bottle out of the air and drank as if I didn’t need Luna’s table.
“While I was lying down, someone from the Dungeon Management Office came out to investigate, right? Pass the rest to me and you move on. I will testify and finish the details.”
Anyway, all Luna and Kane know is that I joined the party and went in together, and since I, the link with Ruby, woke up yesterday, the inspector will not come until today.
What’s that? I can handle it. In the meantime, it’s much better for Kane and Luna to work in the labyrinth.
“It’s the same even if you die. I don’t need to be there, seeing as I got my energy up right away after a day.”
“But… … .”
Kane shook his head while looking at Luna, whispered something, and took Luna with an understanding expression.
I’ve been through big things, so now is the time to accumulate experience. At times like this, you have to go around the field so as not to forget your senses.
‘Well, me too.’
Things like the timing of using the codex to cast magic or predicting the movements of party members to keep pace are things that need to be practiced to get hold of.
My legs are a bit unnatural to walk now, so running is even more difficult.
It’s a pile deal to follow, and that doesn’t help increase control, so it might be better to take a break and rest.
I moved my hand in the air and took out the codex to check the magic I used and the magic that remained.
Certainly this time, I use a lot of offensive or defensive magic, and the consumption of utility magic is low.
“I should also hear the magic tower.”
If the Siren are delivered to Alkaido and Halon, they will be able to study them and increase their population.
It makes me angry when I think of the one-armed man who got the Siren in the original work and went through hardships after being pushed out of the information war and public opinion because he became Kane’s enemy, but now that I have the Siren prototype in my hands, I can do the same here.
At first, if you turn it around and install it as a contact network at the top of Kruger, and then install it in a few years from nobles to ordinary people through marketing, it will be of great help when the Continental War breaks out later and you face the evil denomination.
‘Besides, should I research whether I can add a surveillance function like Big Brother?’
Civilian spying on cell phones?
It’s illegal in Korea, but what do you know here? If I’m good, I’m good at it.
Oh, and also buy more attribute stones that will be in demand later… … .
‘Come to think of it, the enchantment… Will it work?’
As I turned my head instead of my body, another system I had forgotten about came to mind.
It’s a bit unreasonable to try it in the temple right now, but I’ll have to check if the attribute stones are enchanted in the codex when I go out later.
I peeked out.
Luna and Kane have gotten along a bit. A bowl of cold soup is sitting in the drawer next to the bed.
Using the excuse of returning it, I got up and walked slowly.
‘As expected, it’s too embarrassing to just skip it.’
The woman.
so suspicious
The clothes of those who did the chores I saw in the morning. It was probably a servant’s clothes hired by the temple, not even a low-ranking priest.
I said hello to the middle-aged woman wearing it.
“Hello, Mrs. I have something to ask you, but… … .”
“Ah… aaa, aristocrats are better. Please give me this.”
okay… I have an arrogant trait.
It seems that no matter how polite you are, you are not polite.
I carefully handed over the plate and asked again.
“Could you guess which of the servants working here is the woman with pearly eyes and navy blue hair?”
At my question, her eyes go up, as if thinking of something, then she grunts and groans.
From noble mtl dot com.
“Who… Are you talking… … .”
No way. The appearance was so shocking that it was hard to forget.
I slowly explained the woman I saw in the morning again, and the lady in front of me made a face that said she didn’t know what I was talking about, and only then opened her mouth again when she said that she was sweeping the front of the main hall.
“That, that girl who only cleans the front yard of the parish every day. Oh, and now that I think of it, it seems that the color of her hair was blue.”
there is something
I had a strangely eerie feeling and forced a smile and spoke softly.
“yes. I have something to talk to that person, but… Where can I go to see it?”
At my words, the embarrassment slowly rises on her face.
“to… but get better He quit this morning… … .”
“under?”
“I definitely quit. I heard the world was already on the move… in haste.”
Why aren’t ominous premonitions wrong?
If this were a movie or drama, ‘I should have caught it earlier!’ And who must have cursed me a lot?
But listen. At that time, I was in a situation where I couldn’t chase without my feet!
Feeling a bit out of line, I made an excuse alone without a target, and I laughed bitterly.
