Episode 237:
It was a water bottle that took the form of a potion seen in the ga.
What is this? Because my eyes had not fully healed yet, I could not see exactly what was in the water bottle.
As I looked at him with eyes full of questions, Count Millennium pretended to drink.
Since there was no way I, as a father, would kill my son, I opened the cap of the water bottle without much doubt.
Judging by Riems’s silence, it is clear that this is not a poison or similar substance that harms the body.
Drink.
It doesn’t taste good. There was no scent.
Water has scent and taste. Depending on the region and situation, the taste of iron may be stronger or various flavors may be added.
The surrounding valley water, which is full of ginseng and wild ginseng, is like drinking mineral water.
Of course, ordinary people cannot easily feel it, but those with sensitive senses of taste or sll can definitely feel it.
And it was the sa for .
No matter how imperfect his body was, he had superhuman senses that were more sensitive than those of an ordinary person.
The fact that I couldn’t sense anything with my senses of sll and taste made think that it was made this way from the beginning.
“It doesn’t taste good.”
“I guess so. “Because it feels worse not to feel any taste than to feel the original taste.”
Like they say, it would be nice to at least feel the taste, but this just feels like I’m literally drinking a liquid.
Honestly, it was a bit unpleasant.
I think it would be better if it wasn’t delicious.
I had no idea I would react like this to taste.
I was about to leave it because it seed like it would continue to rise from the inside, but Count Millennium ca up to , grabbed the water bottle, and lifted it up.
Since I keep it in my mouth, he hits his throat and forces to swallow it.
“Ugh….”
“Don’t throw up. “It’s a precious dicine that I can only get once a year.”
When I try to ask if it is okay to use sothing so precious so carelessly, a burning heat rises from within.
It was hot, so hot that I didn’t even worry if my insides were burning. It was so hot that my head turned blank.
I was in a daze, unable to even speak or collapse.
Heat like lava ca out of the heart and spread through the blood vessels throughout the body.
“…What is this?”
My voice didn’t co out well.
I didn’t scream like crazy or just woke up, but my voice beca hoarse.
Fortunately, the intense heat subsided and I was able to co to my senses, albeit late.
“I told you. “It’s dicine.”
“What kind of dicine is this…”
I couldn’t continue.
While I was talking, the heat disappeared and a refreshing feeling that cannot be explained in words made ecstatic.
Count Millennium must have seen my expression and nodded with satisfaction.
“It’s an elixir. “To be exact, it’s a diluted elixir… but the effect is still clear.”
crazy. I almost swore without realizing it.
Elixir.
An all-purpose potion that always appears at least once in fantasy novels.
It completely restores people who are on the verge of death, extends their lifespan, and makes them healthy.
In addition, the elixir gives the person who takes it trendous strength.
And it was the sa in this world where I live.
To make it, the saint had to abstain from eating and drinking for a year and pray.
Even then, 100ml is all, and no additional elixir can be made for 3 years after making it.
Her holy power was depleted, and the influence she could exert on the world through God also disappeared.
Therefore, it was sothing that was not easily done even in the Holy Kingdom.
‘The Auror has doubled…’
They say what I drank was two drops of elixir diluted in water.
But the mont I drank it, although I felt pain, all the bad things left in my body disappeared.
At least my vision, which had been bad as a side effect of the power, beca clear in an instant, so I’ve said it all.
I thought that alone was great because my vitality also increased.
The power of two drops of elixir was enormous.
The amount of aurors I previously had was twice that of regular knights.
In the first place, it was a body like a river connected to the sea to draw in external auras.
But now the mouth of the river has beco enormously wide.
If the original width was 50m, it is now twice that wide, at 100m.
Anyway, it’s not a bad thing from my perspective.
Rather, it can be seen as a good thing.
One of the things a Master needs is the quantity and quality of Aurors.
‘At this level, you can say you’re at the top level.’
As an elixir, also known as God’s elixir, it increased the quality and quantity of the auras I had like crazy.
Of course, it was necessary to train physically, but one necessary process was unintentionally solved.
It’s good, it’s clear that it’s good, but strangely enough, I can’t hide the feeling of discomfort.
If it’s this valuable, it won’t be easy to get it like he said.
Since you’re the Earl of Millennium, you can get it even if it’s diluted. Other nobles wouldn’t have it.
It was questionable that such a precious place was given to without any reason, request, or condition.
“What do you want?”
I couldn’t help but feel nervous.
If he said he did it simply because he wanted to heal his child, I had the confidence to tell him not to talk nonsense.
Count Millennium and I weren’t that close.
Although things have changed recently as I have changed, my relationship with him was still awkward.
It was inevitable that before I ca, Raymond had tarnished the na Millennium in all sorts of ways.
No, it wasn’t strange to say that the words were dirty and sared with poop.
Even if it has shown so good results recently, that doesn’t an it can resolve all the resentnt that has accumulated over the years.
“You can give it to your son. “Do you think I did that because I wanted sothing in particular?”
“yes.”
When I didn’t deny it, he just nodded rather than frowning.
That was the natural reaction.
“You may think so, but this ti I just gave it with a pure heart, so there is no need to be so cautious.”
It’s easy, but it’s not that easy.
It is not an ordinary potion, but an elixir that cannot be bought even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars.
Naturally, it wasn’t strange that I felt pressured.
Rather, it’s crazy to accept those words and say, ‘Oh, that’s right.’
In fact, saying it like that made even more scared.
I wonder what on earth they want from and what they want to do that makes them do that.
However, since there was no one around to answer my questions, I had no choice but to ask him directly.
“It’s strange that there are no boundaries. “We’re not that close, are we?”
He scratched his cheek with a strange expression at my direct words.
After thinking about it for a mont, he nodded, saying it wasn’t wrong.
“But I thought our relationship had gotten a little better recently.”
“‘A little bit.’”
And even that was just out of necessity.
Normally, I would never have had a personal conversation with him.
The only reason I talk to him is to ask why I’ve changed, to understand what’s going on, when he calls , or when I ask him for sothing I want or need to do.
Except for that ti, being with him was burdenso and frustrating to .
He is not a witty and humorous person and is very quiet, so unless there is sothing to do, the atmosphere becos suffocating.
I don’t really like it.
No, I think that’s the sa even if it’s not .
Who likes suffocating silence?
“If you think that way, there’s nothing you can do. But it’s true. “Millennium has gained a lot thanks to what you did this ti.”
Ah, then I felt a little relieved.
I could accept it with peace of mind as long as I was being compensated for my actions.
If that was the case, I would have told you sooner.
My heart sank because I was taking a break for no reason.
“All right. I had a good ti drinking it. “Then can I just leave?”
“Is there anything else you want to say to ?”
“I understand that it was Ellis who reported it, but…”
“Yes, I heard it. But it feels different from hearing it from the person in question. Instead of doing this, let’s go to my office and have an in-depth conversation.”
“….”
hate.
But I couldn’t say no.
I had no choice but to obediently follow what he said before I could refuse.
“It’s best to erase any thoughts of running away. “Unless you want to spread the word about your pet.”
Pets.
It was not difficult to find out that the word ant Reems.
What on earth happened?
Cold sweat flows. I definitely feel like I’ve solved a big case, but for so reason it feels like it’s gotten bigger.
“Then go.”
He raises his eyebrows at my stiff expression and turns his back.
I followed him like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.
“Uh, Raymond too… ah….”
Those who discovered approached and stopped when they spotted Count Millennium.
When they saw my expression and mood, they instinctively sensed that it was not the ti to talk to them, so they imdiately turned around and left the place.
I walked to the office as if I were a ghost that everyone could see but could not see.
“Do you drink black tea? “Well, there is only black tea.”
He personally gives a ride and invites to take a seat.
I sat down on the sofa and swallowed dry saliva.
My mind is complicated.
What should I say? What excuse should I make?
But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a good excuse.
In another sense, I feel like I have beco a blank slate.
‘How on earth do you know?’
Have I ever told him about Riems?
No, there isn’t.
At that ti, I was very worried about the existence of dragons.
What will happen if other dragons see Reems, and how terrible will it be if humans learn of Reems’ existence?
Each and every part of the dragon’s body was filled with incredible energy.
‘No, probably not. ‘How could I know that I hadn’t found the rcenary King or even the Chieftain?’
I decided to think that I was talking about sothing other than REEMS.
Yes, that’s normal.
I overreacted.
“drink. “It’s a very high quality car from above.”
I hesitated and grabbed the teacup.
And then it was ti to take a sip.
“Is it worth raising a dragon?”
Phew!
Without realizing it, I squirted out the black tea that was in my mouth.
Red tea water pours like a fountain.
Fortunately, Count Millennium waved his hand as if he had expected it and swept away the black tea I had spilled.
“Cluck cluck cluck. What is that…”
“The fact that you followed all the way here doesn’t an you had a rough guess, right?”
Crazy crazy crazy crazy crazy.
This is the worst situation.
How should I explain it? My mind went blank when I saw him clearly saying REEMS.
