107 – 103.Mother of the Earth-1
Right after the Full Moon Stone was obtained.
I kept it with the storage magic before sticking it with my tongue as Chaos’s own.
“Kiwooung… !”
When I didn’t give it back right away, the ears and tail of Chaos drooped.
I was looking up at me with sad eyes, but I couldn’t help it.
Because there was another place to use the full moon stone.
I won’t spend it in vain, and after persuading the provider to give me a satisfactory result, Chaos was convinced.
“Hades, I want you to gather the ingredients listed here.”
“Are you medicinal?”
As soon as Hades glanced over the list, he realized that it was an ingredient for making medicine.
As a great wizard, it seems that he had a good understanding of pharmacology.
“Right, all but a few of these can be found on the market or black market. As much as you have helped me so far, I will look forward to it again.”
“Ah… ! I will make sure to get the ingredients so I don’t disappoint my lord!”
Hades looks up to me as if praying with his hands crossed.
It’s nice not to be stabbed in the back, but the attitude of praising close to God was burdensome.
I wasn’t as great of a person as she thought.
“But what about materials that are not available on the market?”
“I plan to go and collect them myself.”
“Then it is better to inquire about where it is… ….”
“It’s okay if you don’t have to go that far. Because I know where everyone is.”
“As expected, you are the lord! You’ve done your research before giving me orders!”
“Well, that’s how it is.”
There was no separate investigation. She was just using the knowledge of the novel.
However, since I couldn’t tell the truth, I agreed with Hades’ words appropriately.
It is not easy to live with a secret.
“Then, where are you scheduled to go next?”
“Hmm, that’s right… ….”
I haven’t decided on a route, but the first place to go has been decided.
Because there is only one material that can be obtained in the North, and other materials must be transferred to other regions such as the East or South.
“As expected, we should go one by one from the nearest place.”
“Where is it?”
“The Elven Forest.”
It was time to start my new journey.

“Heung Heung~!”
“You look happy. Is there anything good enough to hum?”
“I am excited to think that it will be a time to look back on countless memories.”
“A lot of the front desks I went to for the first time were only two months ago, right?”
“Even so, there is a strange feeling that you are visiting after a few years have passed, don’t you?”
It must feel that way since there were eventful events everywhere I went.
From dropping out of the academy to revenge against Pingchang and Kang Junhyeok.
Less than half a year has passed.
Looking back at the achievements I’ve made so far, I couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity.
In terms of timing, it was around the time when it was about 2 or 3 episodes of Adog Choi.
Currently, I have become more than the specifications of Vern in the final chapter.
Even though he had the same temperament as Prach, he could definitely be called my strength.
If I had been weak, I would have been eaten by the demonic sword.
“In that sense, it’s a bit unfortunate that I had to leave without being able to visit some cities.”
“There is a direct route from Einharden to Lebron, but there is no reason to go back via it, right?”
“Yes. So the city I couldn’t go to later… Oh!”
I grabbed Renée’s body as it was about to fall sideways due to the shaking of the carriage that had stopped in a hurry.
There was no case where she was hurt by her barely holding her body in her renée.
“Lewen… !”
“Because I am fine. Don’t mind.”
“Yes, yes.”
In the case of Lewen, he skillfully held on to the rope inside the wagon and endured it on his own.
The ability to improvise over the years was phenomenal.
Meanwhile, before I could ask what was going on, Rin, who was in the driver’s seat, hurriedly showed her face in her luggage compartment.
“Oh, Master! Are you all right!”
“Yeah, it’s okay. Fortunately, no one was injured.”
“Whew… ! Sorry! It was delayed in responding to the unexpected situation.”
“What is it?”
“The wagon that was running in front of us was overturned by an elk that suddenly jumped out of the grass.”
There are accidents due to the appearance of wild animals in another world too.
Indeed, this may be a frequent occurrence as wild animals are overwhelmingly more numerous than in the modern era.
If I have to drive a wagon later, I’ll have to be extra careful.
“So what happened to the people in the wagon?”
“There seems to be little loss of life, but the wagon is in such a state of damage that it can never be used again.”
“Really? It is fortunate that there are few casualties.”
“It is still too early to be relieved. It’s a long way to reach Lebron, so camping is essential if you want to go on foot. However, since they are merchants without any escorts, they will be targeted by the nocturnal beasts at this rate.”
“Then go tell them they can accompany us if it is necessary.”
“Are you okay?”
“I’m fine, but everyone else… ….”
I looked at Rene and Rewen.
If even one of them refuses, I was thinking of making it a non-existent story.
But they nodded without saying anything.
It must mean that he agrees to accompany.
“They say so.”
“Okay. I’ll be back soon.”
Lynn jumped out of her wagon and ran to the wagon’s accident site.
While I was looking at her back, I heard a surprising voice from Prach.
[For some reason, you voluntarily do good deeds unlike you.]
‘Good deeds?’
[Didn’t you just offer to help people in trouble?]
‘If you help a merchant, something follows. Even if it’s not an artifact, money or useful information will be provided free of charge. Would you like to get help without any hesitation? If that’s the case, maybe I’ll get a little sad and throw it out of the wagon?’
With a grin, he looked at the distant merchants like treasures.
Then Prach continued her words with the nuance of knowing that.
[You are evil as ever.]
[You are also my friend! The look of doing favors and then ruthlessly discarding them when they are no longer useful! Great! Great! Panting!]
Following Prach, I was able to connect with my spirit and have a conversation with Chaos.
I couldn’t help it because there was a situation where I had to issue an order while hiding the existence of chaos.
So she connected, but when she found out that she was a very noisy child, she regretted it slightly.
I’m hungry, I want to play, I want to lie on my lap, etc.
Every time she tried, all her desires burst into my head.
Even with Prach, there were times when it was noisy, but with the addition of chaos, I was distracted.
“Ehh… ….”
From noble mtl dot com
As she let out a deep sigh, Rin brought her merchants just in time.
They were looking at me with the eyes that Hades often saw.
“Thank you! Thank you! When the wagon overturned, I was at a loss as to what to do, but before I even asked for help, he said he would help… ! I am so thrilled!”
“I will definitely pay you back for this! First of all, we need to spread this story around the Merchant Guild! They say that a righteous man comparable to the Holy Son extended his hand of salvation to us!”
“Gwa, it’s okay. You don’t have to do that.”
No word was said about the remuneration, but they voluntarily agreed to pay the debt.
I felt ashamed of myself for doubting them for a moment.
Anyway, all the concerns have been resolved.
The wagon started with the merchants and their luggage loaded.
However, the carriage rattled greatly due to the increased load.
Luwen and the merchants seemed to have been shaken countless times, so their complexion was calm.
I envied their ability to adapt.
“Lord Bern, on behalf of everyone here, thank you again. Thanks to that, I think I can get to Revlon safely.”
“It’s okay. Anyone other than me would have done the same.”
“It can’t be! When they see merchants in trouble, they often ignore them and pass them by, demanding large sums of money or even killing and plundering us in the worst cases! On the other hand, the goodwill bestowed by Lord Berne is truly benevolence equal to that of a saint!”
A corner of my heart stung.
I was trying to rip something out of them from the beginning too.
“Anyway, what Lord Bern has done is a great thing that is not easily found!”
“Is that so?”
“Yes!”
I scratched my cheeks at the attitude of being too bubbly.
It was because I was unfamiliar with compliments.
“It’s not enough to call it a tribute, but I’m handing over the tickets to the championship match at the Colosseum in Lebron to Sir Bern and his companions!”
“Yes… ?”
“Hmm?”
When I questioned the words that I would give a ticket to the championship game as a reward, the merchants were also wondering about my reaction.
“Isn’t the reason you are going to Lebron to watch the championship game?”
“We were simply going to stay overnight in Lebron to go to our next destination.”
“Ah… ! This is a big misunderstanding on my part. I am ashamed.”
“It’s okay. By the way, it looks like Lebron is heating up with the championship game, right?”
“Yes! The battle of the few strongest people in the world! And this time, people are going crazy with the appearance of a big newcomer!”
“Whoa… !”
“It is said that the true identity of the newcomer is an elf who does not appear in front of humans.”
“Elfra… ….”
I think it’s quite possible considering the average physique of female elves.
Because he had the body to beat a lion with his bare hands.
“It is said that she is also incredibly beautiful! They say that she usually has a slender body, but when she fights, she shows off her incredible strength! That’s why it was nicknamed ‘the elf behind the scenes’.”
“…… Uhm?”
For some reason, it was a familiar feature.
