The skewer pinched the seam of the bracelet. The crack in the monotonically alchemy bracelet opened, and the gray marble hanging in the middle fell. I picked it up with two fingers and looked at it carefully.
It is certainly. It was undoubtedly a clothing packet based on its structure. However, a little different from normal clothes, this was just a type that works by itself without a biometric terminal.
Among the essence of alchemy and compressed packets, there are several types that operate without being inserted into a biometric terminal.
Papyrus packets containing high-value bills or confidential documents.
Weapon packets that create weapons with simple structures such as spears, swords, and shields, etc.
Objects with a simple structure that are not related to the user’s body information are sometimes sold together with this magical device.
Among them, this is a parachute packet. It is an object used to fall slowly. Considering this place is an abyss, it’s not at all strange that it fell with a parachute packet.
“It means something is going on. Hmm.”
After enchanting the tip of the skewer, I scratched the groove on the parachute packet. Part of the packet opened, revealing the empty space inside it. I turned the parachute packet upside down and shook it while looking at the light inside.
fight. A small, scattered sound. I put the packet down for a moment and looked at what had fallen in it.
“soil?”
Not even a few grains of soil, enough to count the grains one by one.
If it were on the ground, a shovel would be able to scoop up a pile of dirt that would be tens of thousands of times that.
However, in this place cursed by the Earth Mother, even these few piles of dirt are unfamiliar. It was difficult to find ordinary soil in a structure made entirely of concrete on all sides.
“Is that so?”
I rubbed the dirt with my two fingers. More finely crumbled soil flew over the desk.
As an uninvited guest named Finlay sat down, the situation was not turning in the direction I wanted.
I scared Finlay enough, and according to my intentions, Finlay got to the point where he was afraid of me, Azi, and the regressor.
But his attitude here was quite different from what I expected.
“Oh, Finlay. found. I have some work to do, so come see me.”
“There is no time for that.”
“yes?”
“The first ancestor will be coughing soon, so I have to greet him first before I breathe the fresh air. It is both my duty and my honor to guard the side of the waking hyeolju.”
Are you kidding me now? No, you’re going to die like that since morning? Are you making excuses for not wanting to work right now?
But after reading his thoughts, Finlay’s words were not an excuse. The priority of taking care of the sijo was so high that other tasks were not even noticed.
there
‘I am now the direct servant of Sijo. I’m busy taking care of him, but I can’t do anything else. Suppose the sijo’s attendant does chores. How much will Sijo’s face drop? Even if I die, I can’t.’
To some, it may seem like he’s joking because he doesn’t want to work, but surprisingly, this was his ‘sincerity’. So, Finlay truly believed that the act of doing chores was an act that undermined his and the ancestor’s dignity!
Heh heh, I’m not funny. If I had the strength, I would have cut off my arm first and then threatened it. It’s just that I don’t have the strength to do that right now.
“No, then who does the work? cooking? cleaning?”
“You have to know about that. Endowed with life by the great powers of our ancestors, our nobility of the night never urinates, does not pollute the land, neither needs food nor light. They only ask for blood.”
“What does that have to do with not pooping and not working? If that’s the case, you shouldn’t even drink blood. You didn’t raise that person because you were born.”
“Instead, you pay for it. We have that kind of power and wealth.”
It’s not something you have right now, whether it’s wealth or power. What’s so arrogant? As I was stunned, Finlay added a flirtatious addition.
“Do you understand, Cheonmin?”
“you. Would you like to get hit with a punch from the military that broke the class system?”
Finlay flinched as I clenched his fists and threatened.
“Wow, whoops. I am the servant of the sijo. You cannot give in to external pressure!”
“What you do is a vested interest, but what you say is a freedom fighter. what is this? The realizer of immobility was here. Are you kidding me? Would you like to separate the intestines from the skin so that the front and back do not move?”
If you ask Aji, he will separate the bones, flesh and blood very well. A biocentrifuge, dog death roll, you’ll wake up once you taste it. It was when I was in the midst of a frenzy.
At that moment, the door to the underground arsenal opened and a vampire appeared on top of the coffin. At that moment, Finlay’s face turned red as if he had seen the savior.
“Shijo! Did you cough?”
“You’re awake, so let’s do it.”
Finlay immediately knelt down to meet the vampire. The vampire beckoned slowly, and Finlay stood up, stood like a windmill in front of the vampire’s coffin, and started shouting at me.
“Shut up! Let’s go to the Sijo!”
“No, what is this?”
As a large coffin approached, I had no choice but to get out of the way. Finlay, triumphant to serve the sibling, and the vampire sitting on the coffin with a slight smile passed me by.
The vampire just passed me by and spoke.
“Fufu. understand It seems that he is quite excited to be taking care of me.”
In fact, the vampire who said that was happy to see me in trouble.
I’m so excited I can’t even close my mouth. While I was silent, Finlay exclaimed with excitement.
“Shijo! Where would you like to go!”
“It is on the fourth floor. Let me tell you where I often go.”
“I’ll take it!”
In that way, Hyukju and his family moved slowly and arbitrarily.
After that, Finlay would get stuck like a stone on the side of the road.
“Ah, Tirkanjaka trainee.”
“Uh-huh! How is it that the name of the founder is given the title of “trainee” as if he was looking down!”
“ha?”
“It is, Finlay. I am lacking in the knowledge of this age. I need his knowledge, so the expression that I am a trainee is not wrong.”
Finlay immediately stopped speaking and prostrated himself before the vampire.
“I’m sorry! The meaning of the founder was so deep that I couldn’t even fathom my shallow fatigue!”
“It has been I will talk to the instructor for a moment.”
“We follow the will of the ancestors!”
As Finlay retreated, prostrated, the vampire elegantly put on her parasol and said.
“okay. What are you going to say?”
“What do you mean? Tirkanjaka trainee called me?”
“iced coffee. It was.”
The vampire snapped his fingers. And at that moment, Finlay collapsed in a prostrated position. The vampire, who stole Finlay’s consciousness in a single moment, approached him carefully.
“It will be noisy if Finlay sees it, so I slept for a while. He will not even know that he is asleep.”
The ancestral blood-making technique is at a level that perfectly controls even the blood of other vampires. It is also possible to cut off consciousness for a moment and reconnect it.
The vampire, who had silenced Finlay like this, looked around for a moment and then cut off his chest with his fingers. Then he gently leaned towards me and whispered softly.
“It’s rare these days. Come on.”
“no. In the meantime, just do what you like… .”
“You can’t show him this, can’t you?”
Something, something I don’t like. There is absolutely no reason to refuse. I felt a tingling sensation and put my finger to my heart.
*****
“Instructor! The founder asks where today’s discourse takes place!”
“Eh? I wasn’t going to do it today.”
“Uh-huh! A person who claims to be an instructor is lazy! If you are a servant of the country, do your duty!”
“… .”
“Wow, hmm! I’m going to visit the Sijo!”
With my stinging gaze behind her, Finlay strode forward.
This wasn’t just my job. Just as the returnee was walking, he saw Finlay and called him up.
“There the vampire. stop action. What about Tirkanjaka?”
“Uh-huh! Where do you call the sijo’s first name in vain? A kid like you, in terms of location, age, and ability, can’t even follow the toes of the ancestors! If so, then you should know how to take the honorific title!”
The regressor, who was suddenly scolded while walking, clenched his lips in confusion for a moment, then responded with a cold lip.
“… no. okay. Then I’ll ask you This is the question I followed last time. How are you, the abyss?”
“Uh-huh! cheeky! Do you not know how to say it back and forth like this? Solve such trivial questions on your own! I’m busy serving the Sijo!”
After saying that, Finlay immediately turned and walked away. The regressor looked at the back of his face and then raised his hand upwards and grabbed the cherry tree.
“… will cut it Don’t dry it.”
“If you are going to cut it, please cut it in dices and diagonally. The largest piece is smaller than the drain sieve. Otherwise, it will be difficult to throw it away.”
Of course, he could not attack Finlay who was protected by a vampire. After hearing the last word from the vampire, the regressor refrained from doing anything against it, and I was weaker than Finlay.
In the end, the returnee and I had no choice but to watch Finlay moving away.
*****
“Eat well. Don’t spill.”
“bruise!”
It was when Aji was enjoying her meal. Aji, who was infinitely kind in front of the table, suddenly revealed his teeth and growled.
Normally, I was afraid of the aggressive attitude, but now I’m used to it. The reason Aji suddenly felt uncomfortable was because it was only when Finlay came.
“Adventure! Adventure!”
Just then, a thought came from the other side.
The smell of fishy blood came first. Soon after, Finlay came in with a solemn face, looked around and clicked his tongue.
“Ts. There aren’t enough commoners here to provide blood. I have to offer blood to the ancestors. Where, there is no one to offer blood.”
That’s what I was told to listen. That crazy guy, a human, came to me with a comfortable atmosphere to prepare snacks for the vampires.
The thought that if he asks for it, of course he will give it to him, is so absurd. Shall I give you my heart
He stroked the growling Aji’s head and whispered in her ear.
“Oh hey. Will you break that?”
“Groo”
“Come on, wait! stop! I’m here to make a fair deal!”
Finlay, feeling the crisis, hurriedly stretched out his hand. I restrained Aji from running away right away with the intention of listening.
“Wait, Aji. Even a vampire like that needs words to leave on the tombstone.”
“I’m here to make a deal! This is for Sijo!”
“It might be your will, so tell me carefully. What else?”
“It’s about blood. I demand that your descendants pay blood to the ancestors.”
“Bare?”
“Of course not.”
Finlay said arrogantly, fiddling with his mustache.
“In the Fog Principality, where the common people and the nobles of the night live together, they pay the price for the blood sacrificed by the common people. It is food that is usually ten times the weight of blood.”
“Oh hey. Aren’t you wondering how much meat will come out if you cook that body?”
“Come on, wait! However! Because blood is precious now! I will pay you ten times the weight of blood in silver!”
Ten times the weight of blood? It’s worth thinking about a silver screen like that. I changed my attitude in an instant.
If things don’t go well, prepare more money. Isn’t that what economies of scale are?
“Hello, customer. Welcome to the blood bank. How are you going to pay?”
“I’ll write you a bill, so when you go out, you can pick it up at the Mist Principality.”
“Did you not hear well?”
“Are your ears blocked? He said he would write a note.”
what are you talking about note? On a plate that is not enough to give in real life?
no, more than that.
“How can a human go to the vampire country with just one bill and go to the bank to get money?”
“It’s not up to me. Why is it that nobles should care about the affairs of the common people? It’s your job to get the money.”
A vampire who truly says that. So, you mean you just want to throw a karate ball?
After pondering those words for a moment, I ordered Aji.
“Oh hey. Get that out of the way and come Don’t kill me though.”
“Wow!”
“Aww! dog king! stop! I’m the Sijo’s, whoops!”
Finlay, who was running away, Aji barked fiercely and drove him out of the building. For Aji, who returned with a proud expression, he grilled one more piece of meat.
However, this did not solve the fundamental problem.
