[ Episode 375. Negotiation and subsequent relationship]
The underground city of Zakhar was bigger than I thought.
‘It definitely feels different from playing gas.’
It might have felt that way because it was a place I hadn’t even visited a few tis in the first place.
“Kreurreu…….”
“Kkiing!”
As we entered Zakhar, the prisoners within the city stood up and stood guard over us. Among them, it was evident that so of them had been freed from slavery, and that they tried to cover up the stigma of slavery.
“Are you going to Threndal?”
“Perhaps Lord Threndal is also coming to et you.”
Crack, who had beco quite polite, lowered his head and replied. And Boko, the wild boar who greeted us as if he didn’t like it, made an impression.
“Just be grateful to be able to co into Zakhar.”
“Hey wild boar. Do you want to bake it for you?”
As Salem said, eyes glistening, Boko’s shoulders shrank. It seed that Salem had suffered a bit.
“joy! this is jakar Even if you could kill right here…”
“Stop it, Boko. Are you planning to fight with the guests?”
Craig growled, baring his teeth.
“You’ve beco a very human dog, Crack.”
“I’m not ignorant like you, I’m just doing well. Shut up and go back to the entrance and watch it. I will guide them.”
Looking at that figure, it seems like we just didn’t get along well from the beginning?
‘The skills aren’t bad.’
It wasn’t an aura master level, but it wasn’t a skill that would be bowed down anywhere. Perhaps it is similar to one of my early enemies, Payat, an official of the Zefar Church.
……At that ti, I managed to catch the enemy using sloth, but before I knew it, I beca this much stronger.
“You’ve grown a lot, Adrias.”
Deshurn, who was walking along the street, spoke to with a hearty smile.
“It has been quite a while. Master is still the sa, so my heart is relieved.”
“haha! I’m always healthy, so I think I’ll live a long, long ti. The grandchildren will have to go see it.”
“Grandchildren? Did you have any children?”
“hmm? You are my child, what are you talking about? It ans going to see your children. haha.”
I didn’t know he thought of that much…
But he said sothing quite embarrassing, so I kept my mouth shut without realizing it.
“Anyway, I didn’t expect to et you here. I’ll sit down and talk about the details, but can you tell roughly?”
Deshurn’s gaze turned to those who were with . It wasn’t particularly hostile, but it didn’t look friendly either.
“Do you know what is happening in the Empire?”
“I don’t know the details, but I know that shit happened. Thanks to you, I’m pretty busy these days.”
“The emperor of that empire is my enemy.”
Deshurn, who was walking ahead of , turned his head and looked at .
“The emperor…is not normal.”
“Did you know?”
“of course. I was also a Royal Guard knight at one ti, so to be precise, I was the leader. haha.”
He knew that Deshurn was a royal knight. But that was a long ti ago, a fact that has long been forgotten by people now.
‘I’ve played the ga dozens of tis, so I morized it……’
Before anyone knew it, we arrived in front of a building that looked like the owner of this city. And in front of him stood Ulug, the Black Tiger Beastman he had seen before, and the Rat Beastman, who had an eyepatch on one eye.
“It’s been a while, rat.”
Salem waved happily at the blindfolded prisoner. However, the opponent only looked at Salem with an unwilling expression.
“Hey Shrendal. Will you accept my greetings?”
“You are shaless, Salem Yedidiah. My eyes still sting when it rains.”
When I asked why he wore an eyepatch, did Salem do it? I couldn’t even guess because I was so shaless to say hello.
It’s been a long ti since Shrendal was more than that.
He was a Xu (鼠) beastman with the appearance of a rat, and he was one of the strongest n who overca the outstanding beastn and beca the head of Sin.
‘I knew it was as good as 10 people on the continent…’
Again, not all 10 people on the continent had the sa skills.
Salem must be especially strong among them.
“What kind of business is this? Seeing that Craig brought it, there must be sothing there.”
Threndal spoke coldly to Salem.
But Salem didn’t listen and cast a glance at .
“hmm? Now I see that not only Salem Yedidiah, but monsters have co at once. Are you here to kill us?”
“I have co to make an offer.”
When I opened my mouth, Threndal’s gaze turned to mine.
“who are you.”
“My na is Adrias Cromwell.”
“Ah, yes. heard the story I was really surprised when I heard the information that Evan was under your command.”
Threndal laughed with a squeak typical of a rat.
“In reality, I look much younger. So, are you the one who brought these people?”
“That’s right.”
“Hmm, I can’t believe that even a Duel Master would take guys like that with them…
”
When I asked if he would treat as a guest, Threndal smiled.
“Anyway, there are a few guys who will upset you if you make a mistake, but there’s no need to fight for nothing. Let’s go in and talk.”
Threndal turned and headed for the building. Ulug followed them as if escorting them.
“Well, co to think of it, there was sothing I didn’t say.”
I was going to follow the two of them to the building, but Deshurn suddenly spoke to .
“Please speak.”
“A little boy ca to here. How the hell did he know where I was, he’s a strange guy.”
“Oh no way…….”
I had previously told the playables where Deshurn might be. I think he said it while teaching swordsmanship as an academy professor
.
“Yes, Benjamin Anicius. Do you know?”
“Are you in now?”
“He was running so errands under . Often while teaching kendo. There seed to be nothing to learn.”
I never thought Benjamin would co this far.
Because of the unexpected news, I wanted to see him, but for now, negotiations ca first.
“I want to see you as soon as we finish talking.”
“I heard that you learned the sword. At so point, you also have the ability to teach. haha.”
“Will only Master do it?”
Seeing Deshurn after a long ti made feel better without knowing it. It felt like the anxiety caused by Vivien, which always existed in a corner of my heart, had gone away a little.
“Did you know each other?”
Threndal, who was walking ahead, turned his head slightly and asked Deshurn.
“The disciple I spoke of before is this guy.”
“I never thought it was Adrias Cromwell who was speaking. Well, if you want to be acknowledged by the old man and even beco a disciple, you won’t be noticed by most guys.”
As we walked and chatted, we arrived at the drawing room in the building.
We were shown to a long table and served with tea and simple snacks.
“Oh, this is new!”
Luna seed to like the food she tasted for the first ti and inhaled frantically.
“They’re not very welco guests, but since they’re Deshurn’s disciples, I hope they know that they care.”
“Thank you for the favor.”
“I want you to get to the main point now.”
At Threndal’s words, Ulug, several other beasts, and even Deshurn looked at curiously.
“I told Crack here beforehand, but we ca to this desert with one purpose.”
“You an that’s not us?”
“yes. Our target is the Emperor.”
“……Emperor?”
It was a mont when everyone’s expression hardened.
**
After the conversation, we were each guided to a room where we could rest.
‘The story didn’t end well…’
In fact, it seed that the negotiation process would have been sluggish if Salem or Maximin and others had not been brought.
Whenever the scene tried to react negatively, the two showed an appropriately intimidating spirit, so they were able to take advantage of the high ground in the end.
smart.
“yes.”
Deshurn said he’d bring Benjamin, but it looks like he’s already here. I imdiately opened the door.
“hmm?”
“braided!”
But outside the door stood Luna, not Deshurn and Benjamin.
“What are you doing?”
“I want to see you!”
Luna said with a bright smile.
Hmm, I decided to wait for Deshurn.
But seeing Luna’s eyes full of expectations, I didn’t want to disappoint her.
“Luna, I have soone I need to et, but can I leave after a while?”
Still, since a promise is a promise, he spoke carefully. Then, Luna tilted her head and asked.
“Who are you eting? Here?”
“yes. I heard that Deshurn-nim, whom I saw earlier, is my teacher, and the child I taught swordsman was with him.”
“I want to see you too! So, your friend is a swordsman master?”
“That’s it.”
“Oh oh!”
Luna looked at with a bright gaze as if she had seen her again.
“Tell the sword too!”
“Luna’s efficiency will decrease even if she learns a sword because of her heart’s mana.”
“no! I can use the knight’s mana too!”
Eh? what is this again?
Although Luna sotis made strange noises, she was a warlock in her own right. There was no way she couldn’t tell the difference between a knight’s mana and a wizard’s mana.
“Since Ouroboros entered my body, I can use it too!”
“Why are you saying that now?”
I thought sothing must be wrong.
Even though Maxwell or Nivas’ experint ended up being canceled because of , it’s true that it went through the middle process.
“I forgot.”
“If you forgot sothing like that…”
she said, but there was no way she had forgotten. Maybe he didn’t say it for so reason, and now he’s saying it.
“Did you think I would be worried?”
“Yes? Oh, isn’t it…?”
Luna awkwardly looked away.
I couldn’t help but laugh at her behavior, which was so obvious that it was a lie.
“Haha, there’s nothing wrong with your body, right? Is it a side effect?”
“doesn’t exist! Are you sure!”
“Would you mind if I take a look?”
“Huh? Uh huh…….”
Luna hesitated and held out her wrist.
Do you have sothing more to hide? Anyway, it makes worry.
Uung-
I carefully poured mana into her body. The very vivid black mana began to ride Luna’s body.
‘This is…….’
I was taken aback at the mont.
I wondered if it was because I could simply use the knight’s mana, but that wasn’t the case.
It’s not like that, it’s like…
‘It’s like .’
It was similar to , whose entire body beca a mana reservoir thanks to its vessel characteristics. no, it was almost the sa.
Even if it was a little unbalanced and not perfect, it was definitely a ‘bowl’.
‘Did it beco a vessel to contain the transcendent?’
for a mont.
Does that an that I too can carry the Transcendental One?
Even I was a vessel with a more perfect shape than Luna.
“A friend?”
“Oh, it’s over. No problem. What a relief.”
Putting everything else aside for now, one thing was certain.
That ans that Luna has beco a body that can handle a sword like . In addition, it seed that he could use the mana in his body freely without distinguishing between the magician’s mana and the knight’s mana.
‘If you just learn swordsmanship, it’s pretty…….’
Luna’s mana amount was similar to mine with original sin. It’s probably because of absorbing Ouroboros.
“You want to learn swordsmanship?”
“huh!”
We can’t just leave such a precious talent.
Even if it wasn’t for that reason, it seed desirable to learn swordsmanship to protect oneself.
“Since my teacher is here too, let’s try it.”
I won’t be able to learn for a long ti because I have a purpose anyway. Still, if you learn a little bit, it will help protect my body.
Above all, she had a good teacher by her side who could teach her swordsmanship every day.
‘Five senses.’
I told you the other day that Luna’s blood relatives lived in the place where the Shaiya Desert used to be.
Since he was in the desert, he thought of calling her too.
