105. Back in Place
“That’s what happened.”
“Hmm….”
Ko Byeong-gap had learned about the Goblins’ circumstances, and they learned about their Lord’s situation. He was lost in thought after rubbing off the butt of his cigarette.
‘It’s a ss.’
Landriol was said to be preparing for war.
The Goblins with excellent combat skills were collected for intensive training, and if they failed on the way, they would then be sent to Somnium for labor.
And the female Goblins… No, he bought female Sarahons at random. With the remaining crystals, they said that he bought iron ores and made weapons.
“That’s why these are the only crystals left.”
The last ti he checked, there were over 10 million crystals. But looking at it now, there were only 200,000 crystals left.
“Marilyn… Did you really want the queen’s seat?”
Marilyn beca his mistress. The Goblins referred to her as that now. The attack squad was turned to train the soldiers and aid Landriol. Doran was with them and thought it was easy. But when Ko Byeong-gap asked why she was digging crystals in Somnium, she answered…
“That damn bastard took to the bedroom…”
In summary, it was like this: Landriol brought so won into the bedroom to have a baby in the na of spreading the ‘seed of the king’ to produce outstanding talents.
Doran was also selected as a mother. Marilyn disapproved, but she could not disobey the king’s will. Fortunately, nothing terrible happened since Doran resisted.
On that day, Landriol beat Doran like a dog and sent her to Somnium. He couldn’t bear to kill her, so he made her do sothing else.
“Lord, thank you for your hard work.”
“No. You guys worked harder. And Doran.”
“Yes, Lord.”
“I’m sorry. Because of my foolishness, I almost put you in a difficult situation.”
“Why is it Lord’s fault? Lord didn’t do anything wrong.”
Ko Byeong-gap only patted Doran on the back.
“Lord, what are you going to do now? Are you going to attack Valtadren?”
“Get in there! Take all the kids and kill all the damn things!”
“It’s not that easy to say.”
“Why?”
“Landriol is strong. More than .”
He hated to admit it, but Landriol proved to be strong.
Ko Byeong-gap still rembered the mont vividly. The mont when he was srized by his unparalleled strength.
“And there are Goblins there. If I rushed in and made them point their weapons at each other… Just… That shouldn’t happen.”
“They’ll listen to the Lord, too. Because everyone missed the Lord!”
Doran seed convinced, but Ko Byeong-gap had different ideas. Dorma, who followed Ko Byeong-gap better than anyone else, also succumbed to Landriol’s spirit.
He now had the essence of the Lord, but it was unclear whether he could win against Landriol in a one-on-one fight.
‘What do I do?’
King Landriol… The task required more thought and careful operation. The longer he worried, the more ashtrays piled up.
‘Is there anything that I’m superior in? Where can I be one step ahead of him…’
When he made a serious face, Gobung and Doran’s faces also hardened. At that mont, the door opened, and a small guy walked in. There was a basket full of potatoes in his arms.
“Lord. Ea wants to bring this to you. Lord must be hungry.”
“…What the heck.”
The tension that had built up so far was relieved in an instant. He grinned and washed his face a few tis.
“Aren’t you hungry?”
“I’m not that hungry. Eat, Lord.”
Ko Byeong-gap picked up a potato. As expected, the potatoes were Ashvilam’s potatoes. One potato was about the size of two fists.
Looking at it, it was edible, but… it wasn’t nice. It was just potatoes.
“…”
Instead of slicing and biting the potato, he just stared blankly. The little boy tilted his head, questioning his Lord’s actions.
“Aren’t you going to eat?”
“Yeah, let’s try the classical way.”
“Huh?”
Ko Byeong-gap looked determined as if he had made up his mind. He ate the potatoes in two bites and then looked at Doran.
“Doran.”
“Yes, Lord!”
“Tell everything you know about Landriol. Even the smallest things are fine, so don’t miss a thing.”
“Yes! I got it.”
“And Gobung.”
“Yep!”
“Take the kids and continue the mining. I don’t want them to notice anything suspicious. And double the number of guards. If you find anything, tell imdiately.”
“I see!”
Gobung ran out quickly while Doran was warming up to tell a story. Ko Byeong-gap cald her down and stood up.
“I’ll go over to the other world for a second.”
When he said this, Doran’s expression was soon filled up with concern. She was afraid for her Lord to leave. Ko Byeong-gap smiled kindly and soothed her.
“Don’t worry. I’ll be right back.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, it’ll take about a dozen minutes.”
He crossed the door and returned to Earth. As expected, he ended up in the middle of Jirisan Mountain, where he and Kim Hana t. After almost three weeks, the sll of Earth made him feel better.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t afford to feel the atmosphere for a long ti. He took his cell phone out of his pocket. Although he had charged it with solar chargers from ti to ti, the battery was running out.
‘That was a close call. But that’s enough.’
He called Jeong Seon-kyung. She answered the phone before the second beep.
– Hey! Byeong-gap! Are you alive?
“Yeah, I’m alive sohow. But why does your voice sound disappointed?”
– Ah, you crazy @#&*@#!&@.….
Countless curses ca from the phone. He said that as a joke, but it stimulated Jeong Seon-kyung’s temper. Fortunately, he managed to calm her anger.
– So you’re coming back now? Co on and take what you gave ! I get goosebumps every ti I see it.
“I’m sorry. Because it’s not fully sorted out yet. But I have a favor to ask, unnie.”
– Request…? What the hell are you going to do?
“Nothing else…”
Ko Byeong-gap took so ti. It was a sha to ask, but he thought it was reasonable to do so.
“Sister, can you get so dicine?”
– dicine? What dicine?
“That’s…”
– Oh, co on, tell !
“A very strong sleeping pill. You know the thing you use for general anesthesia. Or so kind of psychedelic drug or poison is fine, and venom sounds good too. Can you help ?”
There was silence over the receiver. Ko Byeong-gap didn’t say anything more because his face was burning. There was only the chirping of birds, and after a few seconds…
– This complete nut job#^&^$#@^&…
He took in what seed like all the swear words that existed in the world that day.
***
– I’ve never seen a crazy man like you in my life. A guy who’s going to die, he’s calling in three weeks and asking for drugs? Hey, you idiot! Do you see as a person who touches things like that? What do you think of ? What else did you say? A venomous poison? Ha… The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Don’t ever ask to do this again!
That was what Jeong Seon-kyung, who brought anesthetics used for surgery, said at the entrance of Jirisan Mountain.
She cursed as much as she could but did his favor either way. Ko Byeong-gap bowed three tis to thank her.
– Even so, I’m going to die of a headache from work. Anyway, see you when you really co to Seoul!
Due to her schedule, she hurried back to Seoul, and Ko Byeong-gap went over to Ashvilam with a bitter taste. It was already dark.
“Welco!”
“Oh, Gobung. Anything special?”
“No, it was quiet.”
“Yes, you’re doing great.”
As Ko Byeong-gap looked down at the dark forest, he was lost in thought. He had the drug, and all he had to do was feed it to Landriol and catch him off guard.
This operation might seem a bit sloppy on the surface. However, it was a thod of assassination that had been proven throughout history.
‘The question is, how do I feed Landriol the anesthetic?’
The original plan was to bring dicine to his table. That was why he asked Doran for Landriol’s every move. However, as always, things didn’t go as expected.
All he ate was the ‘Gold Dragon at.’ Eating raw at proved to be his only diet. If he couldn’t drug his food, how would he do it?
Doran’s voice woke him up from his agony.
“Lord. There you are.”
“Were you looking for ?”
“Yes, I have sothing to tell you.”
Doran’s attitude was serious for so reason. In a different atmosphere than usual, Ko Byeong-gap also beca serious.
“What is it?”
“Lord. I’ll do that.”
“What?”
“You… You plan to drug Landriol. I can handle it.”
She was also inford of this operation, so she was made aware of the problems and difficulties. When Ko Byeong-gap frowned, Doran hurriedly went to speak up.
“He called back to Valtadren.”
“He called you?”
“Yes, I think the reason he called in is that… I think it’s to get back into the bedroom.”
“Hey, are you–”
Even before Ko Byeong-gap’s words were finished, she continued.
“I’ve been in there once, and I know. At that point, he’s defenseless. He has no weapons, and he’s naked. He drinks a lot, so his eyes would be loose at that ti. You can aim for that mont. I can do it.”
“Hey, don’t be ridiculous.”
Ko Byeong-gap cut her off and refused.
“Why? Why doesn’t it make sense?”
“Don’t you know? It’s too dangerous. And if it goes wrong, you won’t have a chance to–”
“Why?!”
Suddenly, Doran scread. She often squealed as a response, but this ti, her emotions were different.
Ko Byeong-gap blinked. “You…”
“Why… Why would the Lord be the only one who wants to do sothing dangerous? There’s nothing here that’s not dangerous!”
“…”
“I have to go to Valtadren anyway. If I didn’t co despite his call, he’d be suspicious. I was supposed to be there by today. Maybe he’s already suspicious.”
She clung to Ko Byeong-gap’s arm. It was almost a plea.
“Please let help, Lord. Please!”
“…”
“If the Lord dies, I’ll follow him to death. So if you die, I’m going to die anyway. Please let use it for the Lord.”
Doran’s will was firm. She was no longer the childish little girl. Ko Byeong-gap was very heartbroken by that fact, and he was grateful. He hugged Doran tightly.
“I’m sorry.”
The next day, Doran left for Valtadren, carrying the bag of drugs.
***
Landriol was the king. At one ti, his status was comparable to that of God, commanding hundreds of thousands of children with only a wink.
However, it was all a long ti ago. Now, all he had left was a humble count of 1,500 servants and his desire for revenge.
That day, Landriol was in the workshop the entire ti. His daily routine was to make weapons and agricultural equipnt out of iron ore purchased from the Ancient Shop.
Originally the work was a chore for court alchemists. It ant that it was never the king’s job. But what could he do? There wasn’t even one diocre engineer within his n, let alone an alchemist.
‘Ten years. Just wait ten years, Madmut. I will tear you to pieces and chew you up.’
He awakened his inner anger every day without fail. The humiliation, loss, sadness of that day. All other negative emotions weren’t to be forgotten for even a single mont.
Knock, knock.
Soone suddenly knocked on the door of his bedroom.
“It’s Marilyn.”
“Co in.”
The door opened, and Marilyn ca in. Next to her stood a little girl dressed in thin silk.
‘Varin…’
The girl’s na was Doran, but Landriol couldn’t help but reminisce about Varin while looking at Doran.
How could they be so alike? If he hadn’t heard of her birth, he would’ve thought she was Varin’s reincarnation. Landriol spoke, gulping down the drink lying nearby.
“Marilyn, go out.”
“I… My Lord…”
“I said get out.”
“Yes…”
Marilyn nodded with a sad look. She vowed to do anything for the king, but she couldn’t help but walk away from Doran, who was like her own daughter. She carefully stroked Doran on the shoulder.
“Doran, please be quiet…”
“Go away. I don’t even want to hear your voice.”
Doran shook her shoulder roughly. She then strode toward the king. Marilyn looked at her back for a mont and then slipped out of the bedroom.
“I heard Marilyn raised you like a real daughter, but you’re a bad-mouthed little girl.”
“…”
“Okay. I heard you wanted to go into my bedroom on your own?”
Landriol drank the bottle again. He had to get drunk quickly. He felt like he would go crazy if he didn’t get drunk. anwhile, Doran replied.
“Yes.”
“What are you up to? Last ti, you were like a crazy son of a bitch. Why did you change your mind? I brought you back to Valtadren, but I didn’t call you here to do this.”
“There’s nothing else. I don’t want to do pickaxe anymore. I just want to live comfortably with the child of the king.”
“Heh heh. Daring little girl. Your personality is completely different. Now, you’re docile.”
Landriol was briefly lost in thought. Varin was a very well-behaved and timid woman. Didn’t she cry if she was surprised from the back? The day he went to battle, her eyes swelled up.
Doran rolled her eyes a few tis before he asked.
“What do you an different personality? With whom…”
“Shut up.”
“… Yes, I’m sorry.”
Doran untied her clothes. Her thin silk robe slid down, revealing her naked body. She slowly walked over to his bed.
Landriol didn’t look at her on purpose. He just emptied the bottle. Doran got on the bed before she knew it. She naturally embraced Landriol. Suddenly, Landriol pushed her away.
“There is no need for useless gestures. Lie up straight.”
“…”
He didn’t let won into the bedroom just for the satiation of lust. It was only for breeding. It was like that again this ti. He was going to chanically finish the work and send her away.
He was definitely going to. Doran curled up and covered so parts of her body. She then showed a blush on her face, showing her shaful look.
“I’m ashad. Can you please turn off the lights?”
“…”
Landriol’s heart throbbed. This girl’s boldness just disappeared. Furthermore, her shy behavior was exactly the sa as
He swung his arm like he was possessed. Suddenly, all the candles in the bedroom went out. Doran made a sweet voice as if she had been waiting.
“Your Majesty. I belong to Your Majesty.”
“Shut your mouth…”
“Please hug . I want to have the king’s baby.”
Doran slowly got up and hugged him. Landriol couldn’t lift a finger for so reason.
“You’re such a bitch…”
“Uh, don’t say such scary things.”
Doran said so and slipped her hand to her hair. She took the pills out of her braided hair and put it in her mouth without Landriol noticing.
Imdiately, the king went into her lips. He was already very excited. Maybe that was why he didn’t even notice the pills hidden behind her tongue. Landriol just coveted Doran’s lips.
He turned into a beast. His cynical attitude earlier was nowhere to be found.
He hit Doran from above. It was a hellish mont for Doran, so she closed her eyes tightly and prayed for the mont to co. And finally…
“Uh….. Ugh?!”
Landiol suddenly stumbled, grabbing his forehead. His eyes seed to close at any mont. Doran couldn’t stand him and pushed his body away.
Only then did Landriol notice that sothing was strange.
“You little bitch! What have you done…?!”
Landriol released a trendous amount of energy. It seed that Doran would die at any mont, but she endured her fear and gathered her aura.
“Are you trying to attack ?”
Landriol imdiately tried to defend himself, expecting her attack to be directed at him, but what she was after was the wall.
“Lord! Lord!”
Doran scread loudly as if her neck would burst and hit the wall. The pile of stones collapsed without a hitch, revealing the outside space.
Suddenly, a man ca in.
“You worked hard. I’ll take care of the rest now.”
