Episode 137
The 3rd generation is the family that has been in existence right after the Great Fall.
It was so famous that a lot of rumors circulated.
Their origins are intertwined with the remnant powers of the temple, which persisted in power.
They are the heirs of a famous family that had a great influence even in the days of the ancient empire.
There were even rumors that the blood of a divine beast, which is hard to find even now, was mixed, and rumors such as all kinds of ghost stories circulated around them like mist.
It was the same with the fact that Allen knew about the Rupinus family.
He possesses a white helmet, the divine god of a warrior.
It sits down in the Eastern Gorge and creates a lot of wealth.
Unlike other nobles, he treats his blood relatives with great respect.
‘By the way, my mother is such a Lupinus family.
Allen walked alone in the quiet hallway without anyone.
A lot of people went out to do the aftermath of the battle, so it was difficult to feel a lot of presence in the mansion.
After slaying the demon, Allen sneaked into the mansion following the instructions of the Gaju who appeared as if he had been waiting.
When the sun went down, he told him to come to the room alone, and then disappeared with Aner. Allen looked at her Maria’s condition, and when it was time she came out of the room.
Just as Allen reached the top floor of the mansion, a voice was heard.
“•••I’m sorry. You probably wouldn’t have thought that the devil was going to run wild…”
The sound you hear inside the escort room.
Allen stopped at the fact that there was a guest who had come before him.
‘Is it too early:
You can’t overhear other people’s conversations like this. Allen turned around again, measuring the brightness of the sun through the window.
But the moment he returns
”However, fortunately, the Reinhardt family did not make it on time.”
Legs stopped.
He was warning that the person who entered the room of the 3rd generation of the opposite sex would not be an ordinary person. If you overhear the conversation and get caught, you will be in a lot of trouble.
‘However… :
The reason why her mother married to the Reinhardt family The suspicious attitude of the Dragias family. There are secrets to it.
“No matter how downfall the Reinhardt family. Even if the splendid past long ago is buried, their potential cannot be ignored.”
Hearing the words of Gaju, Allen made a decision.
listen
‘The lord said to the guest at this hour:
Did you really not know?
Allen killed his body.
He maximized the hearing of his ears with his sensibility and took care of the standards of others who approached him. ‘
“Yes, I know. I just couldn’t have imagined that the weapon that revived them would be aimed at my head.”
“Useless sounds. Put down what you brought.”
“Yes, this is the spring water from the source.”
renaissance? source of water? Allen remembered their conversation.
“It’s a sheep like usual.”
I had to look for it again later.
Contrary to his heart, the conversation naturally continued as if he was familiar with it.
“The direct line of three generations of families has married, and there is no way they can do great things.”
“messenger.”
Alfredo opened his mouth in an unpleasant voice.
“Don’t cross the line. Isn’t the messenger’s job to convey words with objects?”
“•••Yes, sorry.”
“But that doesn’t mean I’m going to treat you badly. The deal always depends on what you’re offering.”
He changed his words softly and continued.
“So let’s get the story out. What else do you want and what you’re willing to pay for.”
At that, the other person cleared his throat and opened his mouth slowly.
“Please let a few academy students you designate come here. If you do that, we will take care of the rest.
Alfredo, who had listened to him, asked as if he was muttering to himself.
“Are you going to give me a reputation for handling the affairs of the 3rd generation?”
un
“Or did you find any hidden treasures around here?”
“If not, is there a strong person around here that even Lupinus couldn’t figure out?”
it n
When the messenger didn’t respond to that, Alfredo gave a playful laugh.
“You don’t have to be so hard on your face. You’re not deeply involved in each other’s relationships. That’s what you want.”
When I clearly sarcastic about the messenger’s words earlier, the messenger was silent and opened his mouth.
“Okay, okay. I’ll grant your request. But…”
his voice lowered.
“This is the only rude thing to do.”
He could feel his spirit through the door.
The silence that had lasted for a while ended when Alfredo spoke again.
“I’d like to change the messenger to someone else. I won’t tell Kasha directly, but I’m sure he’ll take care of it.”
“••• We will make sure there is no inconvenience.”
“Think about the reward for this work slowly.”
“Yes. If you want something, just call me like last time.”
Allen tried to avoid himself as the conversation seemed to be over. But she didn’t have to.
“I’ll see you soon.”
The presence of the messenger disappeared in an instant.
And at that moment, the door widened and the old man opened his mouth.
“Yeah, I’ve heard it all, so I’ll ask.”
The old man looked at his grandson, who had thoroughly concealed his emotions through his narrow eyes.
“What do you think? Allen Reinhardt.”
Lisa’s son.
“Many people wonder why lupine is located in the Eastern Gorge. If it was in the past, the barren land, near-bottom food self-sufficiency, and a small population.”
Allen took the lead and saw the back of the old man guiding him.
A body that doesn’t seem to stop training until recently.
The gait was moderate, and the rough cave floors seemed to be unobstructed.
“I don’t know where I’ll be for a while, because I don’t think it’s necessary to stay this long.”
“Then why are you still here?”
“What do you think it is?”
Allen remembered the sleeping incarnation that the devil wanted and the huge tree in the center. But her mouth spit out something else.
“Is it the mine’s fault?”
“It’s there. But there’s nothing that can’t be managed from afar.”
“Then, is it to carry on the will of the ancestors?”
“Do you like that?”
Allen answered the question without thinking.
“Isn’t there a family like that?” “They’re stupid.”
“Many families have become fools.”
“Haha, you bastard.”
Alfredo did not respond to Allen’s rude remarks. A completely different reaction than when the messenger. In response, Allen wondered if he really was his grandson.
‘I terribly cherish the bloodline.’
That was the typical characteristic of the widely known Lupines.
“As long as it doesn’t ruin the cause of the ancestors, descendants can do anything to develop the family.”
“For the sake of the family, nothing?”
“Yeah, except to dig the grave.”
“If the family were to be moved from a barren land to a fertile place, even if the ancestors returned, they would agree.”
Because that is the nobility, the family, and the community.
Those who belong to a fence must do their best within that fence.
“Then, why are you in the Eastern Gorge?”
“You really don’t know?”
Alfredo didn’t wait for his answer either, and stopped walking.
“Mi’mameidr, that’s the name of this place. We call it Mimi’s Tree.”
Traces of a battle fought just a few hours ago.
Numerous tree roots on the floor and a huge tree in the center.
And from above the rooster that radiated light to illuminate the entire cavity, even the sleeping incarnation, Vidofnir.
“He’s a villain for the Rupinus, and that’s why we can’t leave the Eastern Gorge.”
he took a step
“Perhaps there are similar places in the other three major families. No, there must be something similar if it is an old family.”
“For the Reinhardt family.”
Allen remembered a dream he had a few days ago.
Tranquil underground, clear springs to see the bottom, and snakes formed by fog.
“•••Is there such a place?”
“I’ll tell you an old story.”
He muttered an absurd sound at Allen’s answer. But Allen did not comment. Because I didn’t think he would say anything useless.
“After the Great Fall, the ancestors of the Rupinus family were not nobles. They were simply the sons of ordinary village heads.”
He did not hesitate to bring up the story of the family secret.
“Do you know how such an ancestor founded this family?”
There was nothing to think about. It’s thanks to you here.
“It was because of the luck of finding this place. Thanks to this place, the ancestors, who just wanted to hide themselves underground from the external chaos after the great fall, were able to establish a family here.”
The wavy tree roots seemed to prove the passing of time.
“Then do you know what the ancestors got here?”
Allen answered without thinking.
“Strength, isn’t it?”
“Yeah, that’s all.”
There is nothing more effective than strength to overcome a war.
“To make a contract with that tree of Mimi. With that, the ancestors were instantly given the power to handle light, lightning, and flames.”
Of course, no one currently wields all three powers. Sometimes only one or two are born.
“With that, I overcame many hardships and trials and settled here proudly. But… there was one side effect. What do you think it is?”
Allen opened his mouth as if possessed by a rumor that suddenly came to mind.
“••• Do you care for your blood relatives?”
“It doesn’t matter.”
Shaking his head at Allen’s words, he swept the tree in front of him with his palm.
“Perhaps because our ancestors made a contract with the tree, we feel as if we are connected as one regardless of direct line or collateral.”
like tree roots.
“If my family gets hurt because of that, I’ll act like I’m hurt.”
But is that the problem? Rather, it was a blessing to the nobles by reducing the risk of betrayal.
“Of course, there are ways to disconnect. Leaving Lou Pinus more than ten years after birth.”
He glanced at Allen. Allen realized that the word was referring to himself. More precisely, the children of children who married into other families like myself.
“The problem lies elsewhere.”
Lupinus
Is it because of the flower language that originally means greed and plunder, or is it because it was named after a plant that devastates the surrounding soil?
“The canyon is starting to dry up.”
His gaze passed through the roots, through the stems and leaves, and reached the divine beast at the top.
“We found a reason. Even if it was a little dry from the start, the canyon wasn’t so dry from the start.”
Shinsoo radiated a bright light over the golden feathers.
“At first, we investigated whether it was the weather or the environment… and eventually found out that the problem was inside, not outside.”
The figure of an incarnation that absorbed the devil, and the tree roots wriggling as if they were conscious.
“Is it the tree’s fault?”
“It was the fault of the incarnation associated with him.”
After decades of research, the truth is simple.
The ancestors gained strength thanks to a contract with the tree, but in return they became obligated to restore the body of an incarnation that had fallen asleep after being injured.
The canyon was destroyed because the tree of Mimi sucked the life force of the canyon.
“Lupinus tried everything to restore the incarnation. Everything, including commercial elixir and rare medicine.”
He said it simply, but it’s very likely that Allen thinks everything they say is really everything.
They must have had nothing they couldn’t save from the 3rd generation and those with great wealth.
“But it failed.”
His face darkened.
“Common medicines didn’t work for the incarnation that sucks the earth’s intelligence. So… I don’t know how many suffered.”
Finding a way, looking for a way back.
If the land was completely dry, the tree would die, and if the tree died, what would happen to those connected with it was unknown.
The contract could just end, but in the worst case, you could die.
“At the time when the shape of the canyon changed to what it is now… and the outside activities are reduced in preparation for the worst. A genius.”
He muttered with a nostalgic face.
“I found a possibility in an ancient book from hundreds of years ago.”
A genius more than anyone who has ever existed in the history of the family.
Her name was someone Allen knew well.
“Eliza Lupinus. What do you think the child must have found?”
He took the bottle out of his pocket.
A bottle of liquid that was clear and clear, as if it contained nothing.
As all the clues were merging in Allen’s head, Al Fredo hummed leisurely as if he were singing.
“There is a fountain in the world where all the water comes from falling.”
The spring water from the source flowed into the roots.
“The fountain can only be possessed by those with a sincere heart-.”
The roots greedily swallowed up the spring water, and began to vibrate slightly.
“It was a fountain guarded by a sneer carrying a corpse.”
Branches perched at the top of the tree, which absorbed even a drop of spring water, surrounded the incarnation.
“As time passes, the ridiculer hides in the tunnel, and only the white snakes guard this place—”
Alfredo looked into Allen’s eyes and uttered the last verse.
“The oak thorn that has left waits for it to come back, yes.”
Eliza, the hope that her daughter found.
Rehihardt
The family of those with a sincere heart.
