253fury. resilience of fate (1)
Changing the direction of destiny is never easy.
No, it's virtually impossible..
Like a very strong bowstring.
No matter how much I pull and transform it.
Even if I try to stretch it and change its shape,.
As soon as you let go of the string, it returns to its original shape in an instant..
“That is the phenomenon of restoration of destiny. That's because the guy called fate is extremely stubborn. That's why he always shows great resilience.”
“Is that so?.”
“huh.”
Berkis nodded..
His explanation continued..
“For some reason, very occasionally, as in your case, the direction of fate changes entirely due to intervention from outside. The resilience of fate is a powerful force in such cases..”
“You are trying to return the changed fate to its original state..”
“that's right. Originally, in the novel you read, it was said that the earl here, or rather the baron and his wife, hanged themselves to death while suffering from debt.?”
“……yes.”
What my parents experienced in Korea.
I didn't want to, but I saw it with my own eyes..
The death of the baron and his wife closely resembled that sad situation..
Lloyd's nod became heavy..
Berkis’s brows were slightly furrowed..
“I tried my best to save it, but ended up falling from a horse and breaking my neck. Her wife committed suicide out of grief. That's the restoration of her fate. That can't be easily prevented. No, it's almost impossible to stop..”
“Even if it means preventing the Count from falling from a horse??”
“huh. Even if you prevent a fall from a horse, you'll end up in a ridiculous situation like slipping and falling while taking a bath the next day and breaking your neck..”
“…….”
“It's like that. The resilience of fate. No matter how hard you try to stop it, you will end up meeting a similar fate in the end..”
“So what can I do to stop it??”
“I don't know.”
“yes?”
“Didn't you hear? I don't know.”
“omg.”
“How do I know such things? i am god?”
“but…….”
“You want to ask why you brought up the topic of resilience of fate and all that when you don't know the answer??”
“yes.”
“Tsk, I’m not even denying it..”
“Because my feelings are honest..”
“Well, it's not like there's really an answer though..”
“Brother, I have always respected you with all my heart..”
“…….”
“It's serious.”
“Ugh. Well, anyway, I don't know the answer to preventing the restoration of fate, but there may be at least a clue to find the answer. Have you ever heard of the gem of truth handed down to the mermaid kingdom??”
“I haven't heard of it.”
Lloyd shook his head..
It's the jewel of truth.
It was the first time I heard this..
There was no mention of that in the novel Iron Blood Knight..
Berkis continued..
“I heard this from a mermaid I knew a long time ago. They say there is an item called the Jewel of Truth in the mermaid kingdom..”
“Is it something that will reveal the truth??”
“uh. Similar. Just one question.”
“Just one question?”
“okay. one.”
Berkis raised his index finger..
“They say he will give you an answer that contains the truth to any question. Instead, there are conditions. As I just said, it only provides the answer to one question, a very specific question..”
“then…….”
Lloyd rolled his eyes..
Take a moment to calculate in your head..
“Is the question, “Please tell me how to prevent the phenomenon of restoration of fate happening around me” being specific enough??”
“maybe? You'll find out if you go to the mermaid kingdom and check it out..”
“Yes, then where should I go to the mermaid kingdom??”
Lloyd's voice trembled slightly..
done.
I found a clue.
I was really at a loss so I wanted to search the internet..
Just in case, I got a nutritious clue from the Dragon King who poked around.!
‘The jewel of truth in the mermaid kingdom. All you have to do is go to the mermaid kingdom to find it.?’
There was a glimpse of hope..
A rosy blueprint was drawn showing that the problem could be solved more easily than expected..
However, that blueprint was crumbled after one careless reply from Berkis..
“I don't know.”
“yes?”
“I don't know. Where did the mermaid kingdom run?.”
“No, you said earlier that there was a mermaid you knew.…….”
“He died of old age.”
“…….”
“Was it a hoa hora? She said she was the former queen of the mermaid kingdom. She died of old age.”
“Hey, didn’t they still interact with him before he passed away??”
“I did. I mainly took care of it, but.”
“…….”
“Later, when he gained the throne, he completely moved the kingdom's address and did not tell me.?”
“…….”
Dragon King.
What kind of interpersonal relationships have you been building, you sleepyhead?.
Lloyd wanted to sigh..
But I couldn't hold on any longer.
What can I do if I don't know?.
‘Let's step away from this.’
What I'm hanging on to more here is?
It would be an act that crosses the line..
It's not that it's not, the drowsiness was already hanging around the Dragon King's eyes..
‘okay. I've figured out enough to find out. If you bother me by clinging on more for no reason and cross the line, it will be a loss..’
A person must know how to walk away when he has gained enough..
Lloyd sensed that now was the right time..
A smile full of service spirit bloomed on his face..
“yes. Anyway, thanks to you, I understand. Dragon King, no, brother, thank you from the bottom of my heart..”
“older brother?”
“Oh my, I lost my true colors again without realizing it.…….”
“I don’t know if it’s his true intentions or what. Well then, you are now going to find the mermaid kingdom.?”
“Probably so.”
“Then my wake up call is?”
“I will tell my subordinate well..”
“really? Besides you, there is someone else talented who can wake me up quickly.?”
“yes. There are some people I can't communicate with because they can't speak..”
Lloyd smiled..
In his mind, the soldiers of the Goal Brigade came to mind..
‘Well, turtle neck, square jaw, and frozen shoulders. If they come here every morning and dance tap and hula, your eyes will automatically open even if you don't want to wake up..’
The sound of every bone is creaking, creaking, clattering..
After going through such a breathless, no, bone-heavy dance time, even the Dragon King would have no choice but to wake up..
Thanks to this, Lloyd was able to reassure Berkis(?).
“It will definitely wake you up every morning. Don't worry.”
“Well, if that's the case.”
Berkis lying down.
A satisfied smile appeared on the Dragon King's lips..
‘good. I finally brushed it off. He seems like a troublesome guy..’
I remembered the events of the past few days..
That guy named Lloyd Frontera.
No, this guy named Kim Su-ho came from another dimension..
How annoying it was to ask for help with the problem you were facing..
Because of this, I had to toss and turn for several minutes every morning, even after giving my wife a wake-up call and doing my homework. She immediately had to spend days of pain unable to sleep..
That's why.
He told Lloyd about the Mermaid Kingdom's Jewel of Truth..
‘Well, if you're lucky, you'll find it. At least I won't bother you until then..’
Suddenly, something from hundreds of years ago came to mind..
Was it like that from the mermaid Houhora?.
They say there is a legend in their mermaid kingdom..
‘That was the story of the Jewel of Truth. However, since it was an item that appeared only once in the mythical era, which was so long ago, I don't even know if it really exists. I think it only exists in legends and legends..’
As if passing by like that.
Like a meaningless joke.
What I mentioned briefly was the gem of truth..
In other words, the treasure called the Jewel of Truth was an item of unknown origin even in the mermaid kingdom..
As for Korea,?
Perhaps it is the legend of Ungnyeo, who became human after eating garlic and mugwort in the myth of Dangun..
‘So, if you really want to find that gem, it will be very difficult. Even if it were possible, it would take quite a while..’
The corner of Berkis' mouth curled up evilly..
If it takes a long time to find the gem?
That guy won't be able to bother hanging on for that long..
Perhaps the wake-up call homework period for his wife will also end..
‘Then, just go back to the Demon Dragon Cave. I'll never see that guy again. You don't have to suffer from that guy's whining. Perfect.’
I was satisfied just thinking about it..
My toes in the blanket were wiggling happily..
Just like that, Berkis hides his true feelings.
Lloyd is satisfied that he has found a clue..
The gentle smiles of the Dragon King and the human intertwined in the air..
‘Ugh, annoying guy..’
‘Ah, sleepy guy..’
After exchanging deals(?) with a smile on his face, Lloyd retreated..
I returned to the study, leaving behind the sound of the Dragon King's snoring..
It was to find out the location of the mermaid kingdom..
‘I saw that here a few days ago.’
Lloyd returned to the study and picked up a booklet containing myths and legends..
It was one of the books I researched while staying up all night in the study a few days ago..
‘At that time, there was a mention of the mermaid kingdom around here. Mermaid… … Mermaid Kingdom… … good. we are here.’
Fortunately, I found the part quickly..
[Mermaids can dive to the deepest and most rugged seas, and they use their capabilities to the fullest to hide their kingdoms in places where no one can easily find them. Therefore, in general, no one knows where their kingdom is, and only a few of the most experienced sailors navigating the most treacherous seas may have clues through their experiences.…….]
‘Hmm.’
Lloyd clenched his chin..
‘It's the roughest sea.’
I quickly pulled out the information in my head..
Numerous locations that appeared in the novel Iron Blood Knight.
Among them, references or settings related to the sea.
I matched them up, assembled them, and compared them..
Thanks to you, I was able to guess without difficulty..
‘I guess it's on the North Sea side..’
Lloyd was sure.
First of all, it is not the southern sea.
There is a fairly large ocean to the south of the Laurasia continent, but its polar region is occupied by a continent as large as Earth's Antarctica..
On the other hand, the north?
‘The Arctic Ocean, said to be the most dangerous on the Laurasia continent, stretches out..’
the harshest and roughest sea.
10It was said that waves over a meter are frequent..
It was said that icebergs were floating in that terrifying ocean current..
Did you say that the sea area is like a nightmare for sailors sailing on the sea?.
‘However, they said that there are some perverted sailors who deliberately sail such rough seas..’
They were whaling ship crews hunting emperor whales..
The Emperor Whale is said to be a source of pride for a sailor for the rest of his life if he catches just one..
They say there are hunters in the sea looking for that quick fortune..
‘And fortunately, the home port of the Arctic Ocean emperor whale whaling ship is a familiar place to me..’
A place that is not only familiar but also friendly.
The very place where the great feat of capturing Giga Titan was achieved..
It was the port of Cremo..
It was from then on..
Lloyd hastened his journey to the port of Cremo..
Preparation was simple.
Three days' worth of food to eat while flying on the Komingi..
All I had to do was bring equipment such as tents and sleeping bags for sleeping outdoors..
Of course, there was still another process of persuading the count and wife..
“So, I'm going to go to the port of Cremo.?”
“yes.”
Click.
A long-awaited dinner with the Count and Countess.
Lloyd revealed his plan on the spot..
Of course, I didn't reveal everything honestly..
Actually, I have a new business in mind..
So, I think I should go to Cremo Port for field research..
I just roughly looked around like that..
Count Frontera asked, looking a little concerned..
“But will you be okay??”
“yes?”
“After visiting the royal capital earlier. At that time, didn't you say that you would rest at home for a while??”
“Yes, I did..”
“So this father is worried..”
The count continued..
“This father knows how diligent you are, but this guy who said he was going to take a long break is suddenly starting a new business. Did she happen to have something that she couldn't tell her father??”
“Oh, that's not it..”
“okay?”
“yes.”
Lloyd smiled and dipped his salad and ate it..
But even so, I could vaguely feel it..
The Countess's concerns about herself.
I felt like I couldn't ease his worries..
‘but. I don’t think anyone would believe me when I say I’m just going to start a new business. Because there's definitely something I can't reveal, it will seem like I'm moving in a hurry..’
But I couldn't help it now.
It was a waste of time to spend leisurely..
There are only three years left until the count falls from his horse..
We need to find and implement a way to prevent the phenomenon of restoration of fate that the Dragon King mentioned..
‘So, you may be worried right now, but please have a little faith in me..’
The Count and Countess pretending to believe what they are saying..
Meanwhile, the Count and Duchess still seem concerned about this side..
Lloyd looked at the count and wife with warm eyes..
They were grateful people.
These were people I wanted to protect..
I'm just afraid of being left alone in this world?
Or because they are people who need to remain safely for their own comfortable life.?
It wasn't.
It's not that I didn't have that feeling in the past..
At least it wasn't like that anymore.
It became even more so after reincarnating that bastard Lloyd from hell..
‘'Cause I have a truth to tell.’
Someday, I will honestly tell you the truth..
I will sincerely apologize to him..
It didn't matter even if I couldn't be forgiven..
I thought that all I had to do was for the people who had treated me sincerely to live in peace, and that I would do my best to make that happen..
‘Because I don’t want to experience that kind of misfortune twice..’
Suddenly, a memory from Korea came to mind..
The memory I want to forget the most but cannot forget.
A memory that hurts so much that I can't forget it.
It was a memory of the day I had to let go of my parents, who had made an extreme choice..
‘I don't want that to happen here either..’
In Korea, at that time.
Because I’m naive and I don’t know anything.
Because I don’t know what’s going on in the world.
I don't have anything special.
You were the ones who couldn't protect me..
But now things have changed.
‘you can do it.’
can protect.
I want to protect it.
I never want to dwell on the sadness and regrets of that day again..
therefore…….
“I'll work hard.”
Smiling as if it was no big deal.
A firm resolve was reflected in Lloyd's smile towards the count and wife..
