179 – Congratulations – 1
“Good work. It must have been hard.”
After hearing the story, Aurora crossed her legs and leaned back in her chair.
The chair had been replaced with a slightly softer material than before. If the previous one focused on fashion rather than practicality, now it felt like it was much more focused on practicality and comfort rather than fashion.
Rumor has it that after mixing with me, it was difficult to even sit in a chair for days, so they changed it to a softer material.
At that time, there were times when I deliberately pushed harder so that he wouldn’t follow me, but I thought I should restrain myself next time anyway.
‘If the other side is willing to do that too.’
Aurora glanced at me with her legs crossed, then a smile appeared on her face. It was the smile you put on when a good idea came to your mind.
Not from my point of view, good idea from that point of view.
“By the way, are you not going to tell me what you did in the Holy Kingdom?”
“What did you hear just now?”
I looked at Aurora with absurd eyes. What I just told you was what you did in the Holy Kingdom. Hearing it all from beginning to end and asking such questions.
Of course, there were a lot of hidden things. Because I can’t tell the truth about everything that happened in the Holy Land.
The way I mingled with the popes for two days, the way I heard the voice of God, and the way I gave them holy relics.
It was just the contents that would cause all sorts of waves if they spread outside. In particular, it was obvious that the moment when it entered Caicilia’s ears, there would be an uproar.
It’s not that I don’t trust Aurora, and I know that her mouth is heavy enough, but I don’t want to reveal it to the outside world just yet.
It’s not something else, it’s because I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it. I’m busy getting rid of the bosses, but I can’t see troubles happening on the other side even if I die.
“He said he went to see the Pope. Didn’t they do what they did with me?”
Aurora, with a smirking smile on her face, made a round circle by pressing the thumb and forefinger of her left hand together, and then inserted and removed the index finger of her right hand repeatedly.
The grandiose blasphemy made my expression even more absurd.
“Are you even committing blasphemy now? I don’t even know if I’m punished.”
“It’s okay since Delta will stop you. You’re not going to abandon me after doing such a thing, are you?”
“Who am I to the lord, to prevent even the punishment of God?”
“Well… … Well. A man who has a lot to hide?”
Aurora’s face was full of mischief. Seeing that his back pain and not being able to move even a single step had disappeared anywhere, his body appeared to be completely healed.
And it was true that I went to Holy Land and mingled with the popes, so there was nothing to refute. Rather, if I deny that it wasn’t like that here, wouldn’t lightning strike me?
“You haven’t slept yet to call me and make such a bad joke?”
I glanced at my watch. The time indicated 2:00 in the morning.
To activate the easter egg for Luna, of course, you have to wait until the night when the moon rises, especially until midnight when the full moon hangs exactly perpendicular to the spire of the Cathedral of the Moon.
So inevitably it was very late at night when I returned here.
However, the fact that the time now passed late at night and was close to dawn was largely attributable to the grand scuffle with the popes that followed.
‘How can I get it because it’s burdensome?’
Floretta and Luna, who received the holy relic from me, said they wanted to repay me in a small way, and asked me to wait for a while, and within 10 minutes they brought 40 two-headed wagons.
It may be a sacred relic to them, but to me who knows the truth, it is just a flashlight. My conscience was pricked a lot to hand over a weapon with performance comparable to garbage and receive such a reward.
As long as I wasn’t the type to receive anything more than what I did with a steel plate on my face, such a return was not a reward, but a burden.
So I tried to take only one carriage, but when the popes held on to me and begged me to show their sincerity, I struggled to convince them. That was the cause of the epic scuffle.
‘When I came back to the castle with Selene, the kids who were standing in the night were surprised and my legs relaxed.’
Well, at the end of the scuffle, picking and choosing was enough for 10 double-headed carriages.
It was only natural that the castle turned upside down as the knight commander, who had gone to the Holy Land for a short stop, brought 10 wagons with the patterns of the Holy Kingdom back.
I had to wake up all the sleeping children, as well as the deputy captain and members who were on night watch, and start tidying up.
It was quite a spectacle to see 5 reverse bunnies and 50 bunny girls picking up treasures at dawn. Of course, this is irony.
‘I don’t know if it will end by tonight.’
After hearing from the night watchers that Aurora had asked them to visit me at any time, I took a suitable jewel and left for the mansion.
I poured in my work and left alone, but it was also a good thing from the perspective of the knights, so the deputy commanders and members looked at me very strangely.
“Could I have done that? The report said that two days would be enough at the most, but they didn’t come back even after the third day. I just called because I was wondering if I was going to be late for a day or so because of what I was doing.”
“Well, there were circumstances.”
“It must have been the case. I’d rather be late.
Aurora glanced at the jewel on her desk. Aurora, who saw this, suddenly asked what kind of jewelry it was, wide-eyed, and when she heard the answer, she put on a puzzled expression.
A light sigh leaked out between her lips as she recalled what had happened at that time.
“… … Once I’m done with what I have to say It’s late, but it’s good to go home now.”
“All right.”
Aurora stared at me as if she had something to say, then looked down and reached for the jewel on the desk. After confirming that figure, I turned around and left Aurora’s room.
I’m glad it ended without incident. I was thinking about what to do if Aurora seduced me like the popes did.
“Aren’t you with the lord in the inside?”
After going out into the hallway and closing the door, I heard a woman’s voice right next to me.
I flinched and looked in the direction the voice came from. Standing there, as always, was the black-haired, black-eyed head maid, Lana, with her hands clasped in front of her belly.
“… … Yes it was.”
When I calmed down and answered, Lana tilted her head.
“Why are you out already?”
What is it, deja vu?
The morning after returning from the Holy Land, I was in Nyx’s room after hearing the list and quantity of treasures from Laxia and the assistant commanders.
According to Laxia, it’s to the point where we have to seriously think about expanding the warehouse. I could tell from the eyes that the amount was enormous, but I didn’t expect it to be that much.
Compared to the amount originally intended to be given, only 10 generations were this much, but if he had received all 40 generations, four times that amount, he wondered if the entire castle would truly overflow with treasure.
At this point, he decided to completely renovate the castle, and after arranging a list of facilities that needed repair, improvement, or expansion, he told Nyx what had happened in the castle.
It is said that Nix’s own ban was placed by God himself.
“… … hehehe, is that so?”
After hearing my explanation, Nyx was silent for a while, then hesitantly laughed as usual.
“So, have you ever been involved with someone from the Seongguk side? Or that you, like me, have heard the voice of God.”
“I-I don’t think there’s ever been such a thing… … It is not in my memory.”
Not in my memory, la. It was a very vague statement. At first glance, it sounds like you might be in the memory of a half-horse Nyx, but Nyx’s personalities share memories.
“Did you guys say you share memories? Then you don’t even know the half-half Knicks?”
“Yes. What I know, your Knicks know, and what I don’t know, your Knicks don’t. Oh, but there are differences in the details.”
“Is there a difference? What is it?”
“For things like using magic, I’m a little better.”
Come to think of it, I remembered how the short-haired Nyx exchanged personalities with the respectful Nyx, saying that such things were not his domain. Was it because Nix was better at magic?
“Do you know why there is such a difference?”
“hehehe, I’m fine with that… … .”
Nyx wiggled her fingers in front of her chest and looked at me. I stroked her hair to mean okay. The expression on his face immediately relaxed.
“OK got it. I’ll ask the Banmal side later.”
Nodding, head shaking violently up and down.
I kept stroking Nix’s head while cursing in my heart at the god of the kingdom, who must have looked like Suin, a green-haired cat somewhere who disappeared without even giving a proper answer.
“Captain, are you there? I heard that you were in the warlock’s room, so I came here.”
Someone knocked on the door. It was Laxia.
“there is. what’s the matter?”
“A letter has arrived addressed to you, Captain.”
“letter?”
As soon as I heard that, I felt a little creepy. Hasn’t there never been a time when a letter ended with just a letter? It seems like everything happened or had to go somewhere or something like that.
“Yes. May I pass it on to you?”
“yes. come in.”
Laxia, who accepted permission, opened the door and entered the room.
Then, seeing me stroking my hair and Nyx stroking my hair, I paused for a moment, handed over the letter in my hand, and went right back.
I quickly checked the sender. Unless it was a letter sent directly from Caicilia, or a time attack type quest or story, he was going to ignore it for a few days.
‘… … Rize?’
However, the sender of the letter was Rize. I couldn’t ignore the letter Rize sent, so I carefully untied the knot.
