I can’t live like this any longer. Please don’t look for me.
If you are not a demon, I believe you will know my heart.
Bocchan, I hate you… … .
(syncopation)
… halon.
Thirteen letters made with tears.
Halon thought he had to get out now, even if he had to be recaptured and spent ten years in this castle, not five years, just looking at the papers.
Some ladies-in-waiting said that it was better to look better now, when she was slightly less muscular and balanced than before, when she was too full of muscles and out of balance with her face.
‘It’s not comforting… … .’
that squeeze. The salty taste you feel when the flowing sweat is on your lips.
After ironing for a long time, the smell of iron permeates your hands and remains faint even after taking a shower.
When you lie down on the bed after overtraining, you feel the pleasure of spreading your body like a freshly baked marshmallow.
Exercise and training do not betray you. Once you lift something heavy, you will come back with that amount of muscle.
Unlike those papers that pile up countless times even if you process them one by one, the muscles show a clear reward with your eyes.
That’s what it means.
“Happiness is out there.”
Harlon brushed up his olive-green hair, which had grown slightly longer and reached the nape of his neck, and smiled brightly.
‘Let’s run away.’
If someone sees her running away, it might happen to Adelian.
Halon walked slowly, repeating that he did not know that he would use the results of his infiltration and assassination training he had learned from the Crow Knights who bit the gold coin.
no need for luggage I’m just taking cash and leaving.
Halon took the robe and small backpack he had prepared until now and left the castle with glaring eyes.
Anyway, only the inner people know that Harlon himself has become a paper slave, and the outer gatekeeper who is connected to the outside won’t care much if he goes out.
Even if you search for yourself later, you won’t be able to find out much.
Halon pressed his hand over his mouth to hide his overly excited face, and came out.
I walked slowly, hiding my desire to shout at any moment, and ran like crazy as soon as I got out of the gatekeeper’s field of vision.
Instead of the road leading to the castle and village, they cross the landscaped grove and enter the village, hurriedly mingling with the crowd.
‘I have to change boats a few times… … !’
“Wow!”
I turned to the left to avoid the man who was walking slowly in front of me. At the same time, the girl coming from the other side bumped into each other as if turning in the same direction as Harlon, and Halon reached out and grabbed the girl who was about to fall.
“Are you okay?”
Harlon picked up the girl’s waist as if she was holding her, and carefully picked up the spilled paper on the floor and handed it to her. The girl raised her head and looked at Halon.
“Ah, thank you so much!”
A bright smiling face. Cute waving gray hair and purple eyes like violets.
The girl nodded at Halon, whose eyes were wide open, and looked back at the paper she had been handed over and walked down the alley.
“therefore… The biggest house… … .”
Did the heart in the chest move to the ear?
Was it possible for you to hear your own heartbeat not just after beating to the point of throwing up, but also while standing still?
Looking at the girl who kept going in and out of this alley in front of Halon’s eyes, as if he had lost his way, Halon’s steps slowly turned towards the inside instead of the port.
“Can I help you, young lady?”
“Hee! me, me, me Aristocrat, isn’t it?”
Harlon smiled softly at those round purple eyes.
“My name is Halon. Because it seemed difficult… … .”
“I-I am Aria… No, it’s Ari. It’s Ari, Ari.”
What a cute name… aria.
Harlon passed the paper in Arya’s hand and met her eyes.
“if… Do you know where the biggest house is? Luna said you could go that way… … .”
Halon moved the tip of his tongue as if plucking it with his tongue in his mouth.
‘Thank you, Bocchan.’
* * *
After ordering Alcaido to investigate the woman he saw at the temple that day, he thought about her again, but the more he thought about it, the more he was dumbfounded.
As soon as he saw me that day, after saying something like a foreboding, he left the limping patient behind and went to the dorm quickly… Are you saying that you shouldered all your burdens and retired that day?
‘It’s Carl Lewis, it’s Carl Lewis.’
As I sit and grumble, Luna opens the door and enters.
“Today is the day to retire, young master?”
“Come on, Luna. That’s right, it’s the day we finally leave the temple.”
In the meantime, the inspector came and was investigated, testified, and said, ‘I am also a victim.’ I laughed and put pressure.
In fact, Adelian’s face was openly aristocratic, so things didn’t get bigger.
Either way, it’s true that Ruby’s party tried to prey on the beginner’s party.
‘The collapse of the dungeon went well by linking it to the explosion I heard right before it came out.’
I don’t know why, but I used a bomb potion from the inside as if there was an infighting. Thanks to that, it was easier.
I pressed my finger hard while looking at Luna’s cheek, which seemed to have lost weight as if she had been running around the dungeon excessively for the past few days.
“Ugh… … ?”
“Just because I told you to do it doesn’t mean you won’t eat and pay, right? I lost weight.”
“No air.”
After replying with a subtly crushed pronunciation thanks to my pressing on the cheek, Luna smiled and I stopped smiling. Similarly, he sighed as he looked at Kane, who had lost weight and became sharper.
“Then, did you go around the dungeon while eating only simple food?”
“lol… … .”
“hmm.”
… It’s a good thing. Today, while the temple is retreating, the children should eat something expensive.
I shook my head and looked at the two as I suddenly remembered.
“Let’s start with the Magic Tower.”
If my thoughts are correct, the more attribute stones, the better.
* * *
“doesn’t exist.”
When I handed over the codex and said it was missing, I raised my head and looked at the staff at the Mage Tower.
“You mean there are no attribute stones in the Mage Tower?”
Even if you can’t buy in bulk like the auction house, you’ll sell little by little, but why?
The staff also gave me a puzzled look at my puzzled face, and I received the codex first.
“These days, the number of property stones has suddenly decreased. I think it will be difficult for individuals to buy for the time being.”
There are quite a lot of things I bought in advance, but I think I need more when I want to buy something but there is none.
‘It doesn’t seem like the movement of this kind of quantity has been implemented in detail in the game, and the reason for the original work is ambiguous as it was the time for Kane to roll in a very different place.’
But I’ve played the game against someone, the original game a few times, and nothing was expected.
Usually, this kind of problem is half right if you film it as an evil god.
The rest is caiman or whatever.
“Well then, leave the attribute stone and enchant it, please.”
Certainly, it should be said that prices are on the higher side than mine cities, or that wizards’ pride is more expensive.
It seems to cost a little more for the same magic, but it wouldn’t be a burden. I handed over a fist-sized gem and a few magic stones as an advance payment and got out.
“Have you guys heard of this?”
Even eating is training.
Luna and Kane slowly avoid my eyes at what I say with a smile.
Look at that little b*tch. uh?
“I’ve been thinking about it. I think with a little diligence, you can make green juice while traveling, right?”
“I was wrong.”
“I’ll eat well and go!”
I waved my hand to wait and see without raising my doubts, then lightly hurried my steps with my legs, which were now free of movement.
“Today, to commemorate my resignation, I’m going to eat something delicious and take a rest after watching and listening to the dungeon for a few days. got it?”
“yes… great.”
“I will.”
In fact, Laves, where I originally was, is one of the best pleasure cities on the continent, so of course, the scale is huge in terms of entertainment, so it’s an auction house or a gambling hall. Because the restaurant is quite high quality.
Having grown accustomed to it, I thought I wouldn’t be satisfied with restaurants in other places, but why?
The size of the city is large, but the flow of money in it is also huge, so the by-products and magic stones from the labyrinth, along with the money spent by the adventurers who bring them, as well as the tourism business due to the nature of the labyrinth, made the floating population huge. .
As a result, the entertainment industry is also large, and the dining culture is well established, and the proportion of people with a lot of money is high compared to other cities, so there are quite a few high-end restaurants.
Among them, there are places that are very distinctive, like the place I am now.
“Wow, that’s amazing… … .”
In the center of the restaurant was a huge cylindrical seawater tank.
A tank of that size would explode under the pressure of the water, but inside it was fixed with magic, and an aquarium like an ecosystem was decorated.
Whenever a clam larger than a human body opens its mouth, five-colored pearls the size of a fist appear and disappear, and exotic fish that look splendid to the eye swim in schools in the tank.
A baby kraken the size of a small car comes in and out of a model shipwreck decorated on the side of a coral reef, then crouches flat, and a giant jellyfish that scatters different light clusters depending on the viewing angle also swims leisurely, wagging its tentacles.
Unlike people with white eyes and pupils, almond-shaped eyes look all blue, and mermaids with colorful fins and tails instead of ears were moving as if enjoying the water in several tanks.
From noble mtl dot com.
‘Looking at the lack of subordinate necklaces around their necks, those mermaids must be regular workers.’
As if using a light-type magic, the inside of the tank glows splendidly even from a distance, and seeing that mermaids often retrieve fish or shrimp from the tank, it seems that you can choose what you want to eat yourself.
“What do you want to eat?”
I asked Luna and Kane while listening to the mermaid’s aria faintly echoing through the restaurant, and the two parted their lips.
“Umm, actually look at the menu, what is it… … .”
“I don’t know what Infalka of Fried Infalka is.”
Yeah, actually I don’t know either.
But pretending not to, I said with a knowing smile.
“Do anything. I have to keep doing unfamiliar things. Once you do it, you’ll know what Infalka is, right?”
So, along with the fried Infalka in question, it was decided to unify it into an A course.
The course is up to C, so I have to come here for a while and feed them all one by one.
Singing in the water, the sound spread throughout the restaurant.
Sitting on the third floor, watching the aria sung by a mermaid with curly jade-colored hair decorated with corals and shells as she swam in the large tank, she soon turned her attention to the slow-moving food.
On Earth, an aperitif.
A glass of aperitif is served first. The main purpose of this drink is to whet the appetite, so it’s about a sip in a thin glass, but that’s white wine.
It is a wine with a very fresh and subtle scent, but the taste is dry and the finish falls cleanly, so the taste turned around quickly.
Scared to put down the glass, the waitress standing next to me, Kane and Ruby to help with the meal put down a dish of scallops and white sauce in a small spoon-like bowl.
“It’s an appetizer of scallops with chavri-leh, mishus sauce and chimi.”
It’s nice to have an explanation.
With a crispy texture, the sauce is creamy and soft, and the spicy taste like pepper spreads for a while, then disappears leaving only the pleasant scent of spices.
And a piece of terrine thinly sliced after hardening fish and meat in a mold.
When you put it in your mouth, the body temperature of your tongue first melts the fat in the meat, and the rich taste spreads for a while before being erased by the lightness of the fish.
It’s thin and small, so it’s a pity to only eat one piece… … .
After warming up the inside with shrimp potage, a glass of white wine and grilled croaker. Actually, it was the first time I heard the name of the fish, but the shape was similar to Mineo steak.
And a spoonful of sherbet made with frozen sour fruits to refresh your mouth.
“This is the tenderloin of a double-horned white feather basilisk.”
The main is chicken.
Should I say it’s soft and fat somewhere between a chicken breast and a leg?
When you cut it with a knife, it cuts as easily as tofu, but when you put it in your mouth and chew it, it is not too soft, but rather chewy, and the juice spreads with each bite.
It has a deep taste without any smell, just like soft-boiled native chicken.
Then, a fresh seaweed and vegetable salad is served on a plate smaller than the palm of your hand to wash your mouth full of juicy meat.
It’s definitely a course meal, so the amount comes out in a variety of ways, and it helps Luna and Kane to broaden their knowledge by explaining what ingredients each one is made of.
‘I’m going to work here for the time being.’
Travel is good, but what is it? Food is also happiness.
After the relief of the basilisk, it was time to serve dessert and an after-dinner drink, but since we ordered additional fried Infalka, it came out last before dessert.
“This must be delicious.”
“It’s unusual… … .”
At first glance, this is like fried rat pox.
In general, it was not fried fish that would fall apart when chewed, but slightly dried fish, which was almost the same as the fried rat fish I had eaten on Earth.
If it’s a little different, should I say that the rat has its own tail?
It smells like a little sweet with a delicious feeling, but it smells like oil until you chew it, and then when you chew it, sweet and salty juice comes out like oil.
After finishing the fried Infalka, we opened our mouths to eat pickled seaweed that bursts with sweetness in our mouths for dessert.
“Then tell me what you were doing while I was lying down.”
