I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 123
123fury
I went up to the podium and saw the two spirits..
‘Awesome, you bastards.’
Hector and Charon.
I gave the two guys a thumbs up for faithfully keeping their promise..
These blunt bastards looked away with similar bug-bitten expressions..
“Hmm…….”
On the other hand, Calzac, who was standing on the podium, looked at me with eyes filled with a lot of emotion, but then he cleared his throat, gathered his emotions, and spoke..
“…The above three spirits completed the 61st training session with excellent grades, and are officially granted hero status along with a small prize..”
‘oh…….’
Do you give me money too??
It's a good thing to hear.
Until now, the need for money has not really been highlighted because I've only been around the family, but it will be different in the future..
As soon as you leave Badniker, everything from lodging, eating, buying clothes and daily necessities is money..
Of course, Iron Blood Prince told him to talk to the Treasury if he was short on money, but....
Even though my last name is Badnicker, I was somehow reluctant to become deeply involved with this family..
Do you want to keep the number of points of contact to a minimum so that you can hang up at any time?.
A knight came up from behind the podium..
He was holding the wooden box with both hands, and as if he had installed some kind of device, it opened on his own the moment he stood in front of us..
sweet-.
Inside the wooden box were three identical metal plates..
“It's a hero card. Charon Woodjack, Hector Badnicker, Luan Badnicker. I look forward to all three of them performing well and worthy of being called heroes. everyone applauds!”
Loud applause echoed through the banquet hall..
There was a lot of cheering, but most of the people clapping had lost faces..
“I guess I'm right! was alive!”
Mir clenched his fist and shouted as if to say something..
“Yu, is it a ghost??”
“That can't be possible!”
“What kind of situation is this?…….”
As I looked around, Calzac explained as if reciting a prepared script..
“… Youngdo Ruan left the retreat midway due to unavoidable circumstances, but returned with three days left before the final exam. Because he showed a strong will to complete the training, he was allowed to participate in the middle of the exam and achieved remarkable results. hmm. What a guy..”
“…thank you.”
It doesn't seem to have been covered at all, but first I nodded and went down to the bottom of the podium..
Then several familiar faces came running..
“Luan! you bastard!”
“I thought you were dead!”
“What happened? What happened??”
Basically, I felt welcome, so I didn't feel bad..
I smiled and answered.
“It's just like the instructor said. The forest was so wide that I got lost a bit..”
“4for a week?”
“Well, it just so happened that.”
“under… You poisonous bastard!”
“I survived after wandering in the butterfly forest for 4 weeks. It's amazing!”
Surprisingly, Charis showed signs of being particularly happy..
He looks like a bear, but he is more affectionate than I thought..
In addition, my roommates Evan, Mir, and Pam.
“I'm glad I'm alive.”
Even Charles congratulated me on my return..
I nodded and then looked around..
‘…You survived a lot..’
Somehow, I feel like something new too..
The image of Charles looking at Mir's body with a mesmerized face briefly came to mind..
Evan eventually goes missing..
The images of Junian and Luke, who had collapsed in blood before my eyes, also passed by..
“Mir! Don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables too! And why does something as small as a rat drink alcohol??”
“It's pointless meddling! Fifteen is an adult among the giants.!”
“We were the same age……?”
Right now, Charles was holding the head of Mir, who was making a fuss, and Evan was watching with an embarrassed expression..
Junian was seen smoking a cigarette in the moonlight from a little distance away..
‘…….’
Somehow, it was only at this moment that I felt like I had prevented a disaster..
I feel like I'm feeling a little emotional..
Anyway, I clinked glasses to celebrate the reunion with the leaders..
Of course, not everyone was happy to see me alive..
“How could a guy like that get 3rd place?…….”
“He's an incredibly lucky guy..”
“You never know. I might have done some trick..”
“Leave it alone. Even if you enter Heros, you will die soon anyway..”
It's not a particularly strange reaction..
It's not like I showed an outstanding performance at the retreat before I disappeared, and most of them probably forgot about me after I disappeared..
If a guy like that suddenly comes back and takes 3rd place, that kind of attitude is natural..
Aside from that, if you cross the line, you'll be scratching your head, but today is a happy day, so I feel a little more generous..
I left Yeongdo's group, chatting behind my back, and looked for something to eat..
First of all, I ate some food at home, but it wasn't enough to fill my stomach..
Then I found a table full of steaks. Compared to other tables, there was a lot of food left to eat.-.
Seeing the guy sitting at the table makes it worth it..
Of course I don't mind.
After running there for a month, I asked the guy sitting there..
“This is sirloin meat?”
“relief.”
“Baking?”
“rare.”
“I like it well cooked..”
“whatever.”
“That's right.”
I said as I stuck my fork into my steak..
“It’s been a while since I last saw you, but you’re so grumpy..”
“…….”
Seren gave me a puzzled look and said:.
“I didn't know you were alive.”
“Even though I have faced many dangers of death, my life seems to be long..”
“That's right.”
Judging by the way she spoke, it was the Seren I knew..
Then that was earlier?
Did I see something in vain??
In none other than this Badknicker?
Seren glanced at me..
Although he tried not to show it, his eyes were full of curiosity..
“You know. if…….”
“……?”
“therefore… … . ha.”
Seren hesitated for a moment and sighed..
“never mind.”
You must be at a loss as to how to ask..
No matter what, I can't mention it to Badniker's bloodline because it's a demon rite and a priest..
This guy seems to have some idea of why I disappeared..
There is no physical evidence, but there is a feeling..
Of course, I have a lot of questions about Seren..
I asked in passing.
“What is that earlier??”
“That's it?”
“We met briefly in the garden at sunset..”
“What are you talking about?.”
Seren looked at me like she was looking at a strange person..
I'm not sure if you really don't know or if this is just an act..
“It was definitely you.”
“You must have seen it wrong.”
“Do you think they would look at a guy who looks like you the wrong way??”
Seren seemed to understand these words and closed her mouth..
“What were you doing at that time??”
“I changed my clothes and took a quick nap in my room… … . But why do I have to say this??”
“…….”
I don't think it's a lie.
What I found out was that the person named Seren was surprisingly not good at hiding his true feelings.…….
That being said, I know very little about Seren..
I even saw this guy's death in my past life, but Seren's identity is still a mystery..
Let’s use the information we obtained before returning as bait to dig up some information.?
For example, say ‘I know your real name’ and then observe the reaction..
‘It's ambiguous.’
Strangely, I had the feeling that that method would actually backfire..
What's being hidden is the general public anyway, and what's important is the true nature of Seren... … . Coincidentally, I know the true nature of this guy..
This is the type of person who is willing to give up their life to save others..
The world calls such people heroes..
I feel sorry for thinking that way..
“I'm sorry.”
“what?”
“If it hadn't been for my intrusion, you could have been in the top three..”
“No thanks. Looking at it, you were involved in those two guys suddenly acting crazy.?”
Seren points to Charon and Hector..
It's not like I'm clueless either..
“that's right. I had to somehow get into the top three..”
“That's right.”
Seren snorted and drank his wine..
I glanced at that face for a moment..
‘Did you say Laplace's new book??’
The prophecy in Goodspring.
I'm kind of worried.
Seren said that she obtained information about the future from there, but is that really true?.
I can know the truth.
On this continent, I may be the only one who can determine the truth of the prophetic book..
Although it is only partial, I have knowledge of the future for the next 10 years..
‘The important thing is that it's in Good Spring.…….’
Although that family is not as closed as this one, I think it would be a bit difficult to label it as a badknicker..
I wonder if I could set foot in the mansion if I became Seren's friend.…….
I don't think this guy is treated well by his family either..
I suddenly became curious and asked.
“What are you going to do now??”
“What should I do?.”
“What is your future career path? Should I go back to my family??”
“droughty? ah-.”
Seren sneered and stirred the glass in her hand..
The red grape-colored liquid sloshed around, forming a small vortex..
“Well… … . I guess it wouldn't be a bad idea to just live here instead of going there..”
“Is this the revival of self-talk??”
Seren said, shedding my bullshit..
“I think I'll stay here for a while and then go straight to the academy..”
“Academy? Why are you there??”
“…Well, let's do it together. There's something to gain.”
At that moment, I remembered the conversation I had with Seren before returning..
- Then you came here to save strangers.?
- …Let's live together and live together. Because there is something to be gained in this forest.
‘…….’
Seren knows the future.
Probably a little more clearly than me.
Even though I had a glimpse of the future in the past, I had no idea that such a disaster had occurred during this retreat..
In other words, Seren's path is worth noting and.
The fact that this guy's next destination is heading to the Imperial Academy means that some kind of incident may occur there again..
‘I also need to get information about the Demon Lord, so I guess I can kill two birds with one stone..’
The academy is located in the city of Jido..
In fact, I have never been to an institution..
You may ask whether it makes sense for a noble to have never been to the capital, but it is not strange since Badniker does not have particularly deep interactions with other families..
‘The safest place on the continent.’
In layman's terms, the heart of the empire.
If the sect's demonic influence extends to such places as well,…….
The situation may be much more serious than it appears..
* * *
I filled my stomach to the point of feeling bloated and drank a lot of alcohol..
Now that I think about it, this is the first time I've drank alcohol since my regression..
When I was a bitch, I liked alcohol, but I hated drinking parties... Now that I think about it, I think it was also due to a sense of inferiority and lack of qualifications..
At the nobles' drinking parties, the snacks were mostly pathetic guys..
At that time, I was such an answerless person that I had no one to compare to among my peers..
Anyway, I was going to my room in a relaxed mood when Keian suddenly appeared without any sign..
“Master, this way..”
“Yes?”
I was led by Keian and headed to a building other than the main house..
It's a cycad..
“…….”
The moment I faced this overwhelming building, I lost a little sleep..
“There was a strict order from the head of the family to use this place whenever you stay at the family home from now on..”
“What a strict order.…….”
I said, scratching my temples..
“It's burdensome.”
“You will gradually get used to it..”
“Umm…….”
Anyway, it was too difficult to refuse, so I opened the door to the cypress hall and went inside..
“Master, there's something I'd like you to check for a moment, is that okay?.”
“Want to check? It'll be over soon?”
“of course.”
“What the heck.”
From experience, if you sleep while drunk, the next morning will be painful..
To sober up, I followed Keian to a room on the first floor..
Clap-.
What makes it different from other ordinary rooms is that it has double and triple security..
Keian unlocked several locks and said:.
“Please go in..”
Inside the small room, there was a large box and a fairly large leather bag..
“what?”
“Would you like to open it yourself??”
Keian said in a rarely playful voice..
unexpected.
How could this serious man have such an attitude?.
‘As a surprise, there's a body inside.?’
Probably not, but on the other hand, it is not impossible at all if you are a bad nicker..
I opened the leather bag slightly nervously.…….
-I found a sack full of gold coins..
“…….”
After rubbing my eyes for a moment, I checked inside again..
gold coins did not disappear.
I asked in a sleepy voice..
“kian?”
“yes.”
“what's this.”
“It's your property..”
“my property?”
“I forgot about the jeweler's body.?”
The voice that suddenly intervened was Calzac..
Before I knew it, I was standing leaning against the door frame..
“That's the sale price.”
jeweler's body.
I was told it was definitely worth a lot of money.-.
“There was a cult in the Gem Mountains, right? Those guys must have been targeting Gemsu too..”
“Delak destroyed any church branches in the mountains. They say the priest unfortunately missed it..”
“ah…….”
I was wondering where you were running around so busy, but you went to the mountains..
“How did you know the location of the branch? I didn't teach you.”
“I don't know of a better demon hunter than Delak. If he captures just one church member in the mountains, he won't be able to extract all the information from him..”
“hmm…….”
It was hard for me to deny that statement, having seen the miserable sight of Hainesburn just today..
“After breaking the branch, I had someone else retrieve the body..”
“The head of the family had a message..”
kian said.
“It was said that a long time had passed since the body had been abandoned, so they had no choice but to sell it quickly..”
“It was a situation where the value was falling all the time. Fortunately, it was winter and the Sapphire Snake itself was a cold monster, so I was able to save it. I was lucky.”
“It's good.”
I nodded..
I had completely forgotten about the body anyway, so it wasn't a bad thing for me..
- A gift will arrive soon.
What Sanghyeolgong said right before we parted ways.
That's what I meant.
“How much is this??”
“I haven't counted it, but I think it's worth five thousand gold..”
“5,700It's gold.”
Keian received the word..
“They say they haven't all sold out yet, so I'm sure more will come in..”
“Whiyu. It's awesome?”
“…….”
Suddenly my thoughts stopped, and my mind suddenly remembered the conversation with the third brother-in-law..
- Youngest child, how much is the currency of your world worth? They say they use gold and silver.
- The value of currency? hmm…….
- for a moment. Let me guess! 1 gold is about the cost of living for a family of 4 for a month, right? right?
The third brother asked with eyes filled with anticipation..
- Not that much. She can barely survive on her own..
- ah… So, is it about 2 million won per gold?.
- 200only… … ? Why is the death penalty world such a unit??
- Because of inflation.
- Well, people there usually carry around hundreds of thousands of coins.?
- that's right. So, whenever we traded expensive items, we hired hundreds of workers. Is that all it is? Even after the transaction was completed, hundreds of millions of coins had to be counted one by one, so it took at least several months to complete one large transaction..
- oh my god.
…Only later did I realize that what the executioner said was a lie, but that's not the point anyway..
That means with 5,700 gold, I can live without working for at least 5,000 months..
…….
…….
…What should I do with this??
I suddenly suddenly didn't want to do anything..
