(EP.300)
300 – house
said little Angala.
Every time I cast a great magic, my life will be cut short. Those words were quite shocking.
“How much life is reduced by magic at a time? one month? 1 year?”
First of all, I wanted to know for sure how long the lifespan was broken every time I used anti-magic. But Angala shook her head.
“I don’t know right now. You’ll find out if you do a more detailed inspection. If you put my little centipedes in your ears and rip through your head, blood vessels, and magic circuits… .”
… Just thinking about it is terrifying.
As I frowned, Angala chuckled and added, as if she was expecting my reaction.
“By the way, big magic is prohibited. It will gnaw at your life and gnaw at your mind more than my centipede that digs into your ear.”
“Nothing is wrong with my mind.”
“It would look like that for now. But one day there will definitely be problems. Half of you belong to that hateful Solomon. Then it will certainly be.”
“Well… .”
“No, you can be even worse in some cases. More terrible than the Demon King… .”
“Is there anything more terrifying than the Demon King?”
Instead of answering my words, Angala turned her head. I soon noticed that she was staring into the northern sky, that gigantic rift.

Cool.
Then Angala coughed. As I was watching the blood spurt from her mouth, my hair suddenly stood up.
However, Angala just wiped her mouth with the white sleeves of her long silk robe.
“It’s not your wounds. a little bit longer longer wounds. The wounds you received from your father, Solomon, a long time ago will not heal.”
Indeed it is.
First of all, Solomon isn’t my father, but right now, that doesn’t matter.
A genius wizard, Solomon, who reached the 10th rank. The wounds he made seemed to eat a little bit of Angala, a being strong enough to call himself a god.
Like a rusty iron stake stuck in your body.
It will slowly eat away its vitality.
“… Are you going to die?”
Angala snorts at my question.
“You were just trying to kill me. I’m worried now. He’s a very funny guy. That’s such a wound I’ll probably die. But even so, they can live hundreds of years.”
Think of your life, Angala cautioned me.
However, as she said, the centipede new centipede, who had just rushed to kill each other, was talking to me about saving my life, and I felt something funny.
He tried to kill me by swallowing me in one bite.
Of course, I had a vague feeling that she didn’t really want to kill me.
It could have been because of my mood, but Angala rushed in as if to test my strength and discretion, as if throwing me a situation of hardship.
And the result is probably pass.
“Angala-sama, I don’t know for sure, but I think you know that I have reached Angala-sama’s standards. Then can I get some of those evening primroses?”
“Is it to save the fairy who was bitten by a centipede?”
“yes.”
“… This has happened before. There was a time when a young wizard came to me to save the fairy and demanded what I had. vividly remember Those eyes were in despair.”
A flashback that started suddenly.
Angala’s amber eyes, who were looking at me, seemed to be able to tell that they were looking at someone else’s face from me.
It must be the story of Solomon and the nymph he loved.
Judging from what he heard, Solomon probably met Angala in this forest.
Before I was called the Demon King.
-Yes, Solomon came to me. I am a medicinal Angala. As the sister of the wise spider Argala, she was respected by many.
You read my thoughts again.
The experience of reading other people’s thoughts was not a very good situation. It was as if someone was gazing at the steam file hidden in the D drive of my personal computer.
-What is the D drive?
“… … .”
-Wow, that’s rude! What a blasphemous and obscene thought! I assure you, half-elf, you are worse than Solomon!
Either way, I managed to get Angala out of my head. I heard that if you learn various magic and magic under Angala, you will be able to protect yourself from reading accidents like this.
ㅡHmm, anyway. I turned down the story of the young wizard, Solomon. No matter how much you practice, there is no way to bring the dead back to life. However, he did not accept it and attacked me.
Shrek.
Angala rolled up her silk robe. Now that I saw it, there was a large scar that looked like a burn mark on the belly, which appeared white beyond the thigh.
“He stole the inner altar that was my treasure. It was the moment when all my spirit that I had accumulated for hundreds of years was stolen.”
“That was really bad.”
“When I look into your eyes, I think of that time. A young and confident wizard. you look like him For the ones you love, you are devising a reckless plan.”
“… Did you see my head?”
“okay. Baby, at the end of the road you’re going, there will be trials that can’t even be compared to a big centipede like me. For love, can you afford it?”
is it love
It was true that I was planning something reckless. My only plan that I didn’t tell Mirnana and Elgar. It can be said that it is the ultimate anti-magic that I am developing.
However, if you were asked if preparing it for ‘love’, I had no choice but to answer that there was something vague about it.
-Affection and love. Now that I see, you don’t seem to know what those two are. I’m confused between emotions.
“… I want you to stop looking into my head.”
-There are so many, so many interesting things that I can’t stop. Yes, but what fills you is the greatest desperation and loneliness.
“… … .”
– Abandoned by your parents, you must have lived a long life alone. Is that why you are obsessed with the reasons you have to be born and live in this world?
Angala’s voice calmed my heart.
Because all she spoke was unfiltered truths. In fact, as she said, I didn’t know about love or affection.
The only experience that was born and experienced is the experience of being thrown away.
abandoned by parents
silkygoat was the goat. cry
Now that even the world I lived in has been abandoned and I am struggling in this strange world.
So, for me, there was a part of love and affection that was hard to reach, like something touched on thick gloves.
Yes, the name on that glove is this.
survival.
It’s actually the only rule that doesn’t change from the former me ‘Lee Seong-eum’ or the current ‘Tae-oh gospel’.
– That’s the wrong story. You were also valuable to someone. Even now, it’s like that. Anyway, I’ll give you the evening primrose. Then, go to my disciple Kublai.
What you want will be there.
Angala soon disappeared, hiding herself in the thick fog.
* * *
After receiving a small lily, I returned to the cave where Stella was lying.
Stella’s condition was like boiling magma, so it wouldn’t be strange if her organs melted a little later.
“Eat this and you will get better.”
I opened the mouth of Stella who was lying down slightly, and then pushed the petals crushed into the stone into her mouth. But Stella, who is losing consciousness, can’t stand the bitter taste and just spit it out of her mouth.
Tried a few times, but the results were all the same.
I don’t even think about eating.
When I think of how much trouble I had to go through to get this drug, I was even slightly angry without realizing it. But I’m sick, so I can’t help it.
“Hey, excuse me.”
So I squeezed Stella’s nose slightly to cover it, put it in her open mouth, kissed mine, and handed over the medicine. A very bitter drug. A gulp, a gulp, and the sound of something going down your throat.
Since there were a total of five petals, all five leaves were orally administered in this way. When I was a little worried about how long I would have to wait for the drug to take effect.

Not long after, Stella Belhawk’s red face turned red. The hard work you did all night was not in vain.
slurp.
When I touched my forehead, my body temperature returned to normal.
“Collock, uh, uh… . Well, what did you feed me? .”
“It’s called the evening primrose. It is very effective in neutralizing poison. I also said that I am much healthier than before my addiction, so you shouldn’t spit it out.”
“eww… .”
Stella fainted after hearing the sound of pain. I alternately put a wet towel on her forehead or wipe the cold sweat from her neck and face.
I think it’s the first time I’m taking care of others. It’s harder than you think. It’s a new feeling that it’s not easy unless it’s some kind of sincerity.
-You have a lot of leftovers.
Suddenly, someone’s voice hit my ear. are you my mother Am I Lee Seong-eum? Or of this Taeoh gospel? I do not know.
The memory between the two is now seeping like paint that has lost the partition, so it was difficult to tell who was who.

Come to think of it, there was something else I wanted to ask you about Solomon and the nymphs. I was in a hurry to save Stella, who was poisoned, so I couldn’t ask.
Tomorrow, when Stella’s condition improves, we should visit together.
With that thought in mind, I stayed up all night hard. Then, when I woke up to the cold feeling on my face, Stella, who looked relatively healthy, was looking at me.
“Teo-kun, it’s morning.”
“ah. Stella, you seem to have regained consciousness. I was worried about what was going to happen.”
“Right now, I’m in rather good shape. It’s like having every part of your body replaced with a new one. I feel like flying!”
As if to prove it, Stella flexibly stretched out her limbs. Is the medicinal effect more amazing than you think? I’m glad you look healthy.
she asked
“It’s a moon flower. Where the hell did you get that? It is a flower that appears only in legends.”
“A legend?”
“okay. It is said that it is a flower that bloomed only in the age of mythology, a long time ago. They say it is a flower that can quickly bring a dying person back to life.”
“that is… .”
I explained to Stella in detail what I was going through. After hearing the whole story, Stella bursts into laughter.
“The giant centipede Angala? Tae-oh, do you think I would believe such a lie? The great Angala is the sister of the wise spider Argala. It’s something that comes out of old stories.”
“But it’s real.”
Stella looked like a teacher chastising a little child for seeing Santa Claus.
So, to prove my story, I decided to take Stella to the lake where I fought the giant centipede last night.
So, when I finally went to the lake, there was only a languid lake without a lot of centipedes and a huge freshness.

Clear and fine lake.
Only beautiful chrysanthemums, hydrangeas and wild flowers bloomed around it. Evening primroses are disappearing all over the place.
“I was really here. A really huge centipede just had a fight with me and Kwagwa. I’m a giant whirlpool… .”
“OK got it. I will believe you.”
“… … .”
I feel possessed by something.
“So, what did the great Angala say?”
At the half-teasing question, it felt like lightning flashed in my head.
“ah. Come to think of it, I told him to go find his disciple, Kublai.”
“If it’s Kublai, are you the owner of this eastern forest? Do you know where I am?”
“You can figure it out. Could you please catch the one wolf that is hovering around us right now?”
“It’s easy.”
Stella pulled out a long slingshot from her waist and threw it away. It flew into the bushes and immediately produced a sharp scream with a snapping sound.
-Keg!
I went to the bush where the sound was coming and saw a wolf struggling with a rope tied to its four legs. Big enough for me to swallow in one bite. Another eye on his forehead is strange.
“Wolf of Hell, Tartar Wolfne. He’s a guy with a set eye in the middle. So, Tae-oh, what are you going to do with this guy?”
“We should ask where Kublai is.”
I asked the wolf to guide him towards the leader of the guys. Seeing that, Stella said, “You’re talking to an animal. It’s strange to see,” he said with a tongue out.
The important thing is that in the deep, deep eastern forest, in a place that could be called a canyon located in between, countless wolves and a wolf that could be 4m tall were waiting for me.
It was a very beautiful brown-haired wolf.
Rather than a monster or beast, it would be more accurate to say that this guy is also a spirit creature.
-Are you Teo Gospel, the wizard who defeated Ogre Dordor?
Its long mouth, like the snout of a crocodile, was torn and spoke to me. I decided to talk to him about the giant centipede fresh Angala first.
“Angala-sama told me to go find you. He said that if I went there, I would get what I wanted.”
ㅡ Really. that’s probably because Follow me.
The wolves began to lead us somewhere from the canyon.
Stella, who followed them, said, “To be guided by a group of ferocious monster wolves. It feels like a thesis.” He laughed, but the wolves showed no sign of paying attention.
Then they finally stopped in front of the hut.
Old, creaky hut.
“hut? Why did the wolves lead us to this place? Tae-oh, what are they talking about?”
“… … .”
silkygoat was the goat. cry
No, can you describe this as a hut?
A ruin with no roof or walls, only the site and a few pieces of furniture. Standing there, I suppressed my beating heart.
old table.
broken plate.
Two wooden spoons placed on top of it.
The only thing that looks good is an old and rotten wardrobe.
I slowly walked towards the closet and opened the door. A door that creaks open. It may be obvious, but there was nothing in the closet.
It’s probably because you’ve already taken all the things that someone could use. But what caught my eye was the graffiti painted on the outside of the closet door.
The sun swirling around. tree. Birds and… .
A woman and a small child holding hands.
-Hide yourselves-.
“I know this place.”
