Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 124

“Hey, wake up.”
“Oh my.”
I shook my head..
I almost came back as the badass Luan Badknicker..
“Look, there are things to check other than money..”
Now that I think about it, there was one more box in the room besides the leather sack..
As Calzac said, I approached and opened the lid.…….
“This…….”
I saw silver-white armor that looked unusual..
“This armor is made from particularly high-quality Sapphire Snake snake skin. It's not cool?”
“hmm…….”
Calzac looks at my flustered face and tilts his head..
“Why is your expression like that??”
“I don't think it would be a good match for me..”
I replied, tracing the surface of the armor with my finger..
It's as cold as touching ice.
This armor. Aside from its defense, the coldness it gives off is unusual..
This means that it is not suitable equipment for me, who handles extreme martial arts..
“Can I just sell this??”
“It's a shame because you can't get it even if you pay money, but it's yours so it's up to you what you do with it..”
Calzac said and took something out from deep inside the box..
“If you don't like armor, how about this?.”
“What is it?”
“belt.”
snakeskin beltra…….
I said with a shocked face.
“I don't think it's my taste-.”
“Look at function, not design. It would be quite comfortable to carry this around..”
“What is it??”
“Basically, it has a cooling effect, so if you wear it, you will feel cool in the summer..”
“It's more practical than I thought..”
“Moreover, it is very tough and hard, so it can be used as a whip in case of emergency..”
Calzac said and swung his belt like a whip..
Wow! A piece of ice fell with a rather cheerful sound..
“look. Kill me?”
“Looks like it just got longer…….”
“That's also one of the functions.”
“Hmm.”
It's a whip.
I have the Seven Deadly Sins Sword, but I don't think it's bad to use as a secondary weapon..
Depending on how you use it, you may be able to catch your opponent off guard... Above all, it seems to have a sticky taste..
“That's nice.”
“I'm glad you like this.”
Calzac nodded, then suddenly cleared his throat awkwardly..
“Hmm… … . Sir Kayan? Could you please leave my seat for a moment??”
“That's right.”
Keian bowed his head slightly and left obediently. She looks like she guessed what to say in advance..
thud.
Now, only Calzak and I are left in the room..
I struck while looking at Calzac who was looking at me as if he had decided something..
“Done.”
“…I haven't said anything yet?”
“I didn't mean to apologize?”
“…….”
Calzac was silent, then scratched his head and said:.
“that's right. You almost ruined everything because of my stupid behavior..”
“That's right.”
“…….”
Even though I intentionally played a prank, there was no response..
The unsuitable sullen attitude actually made me lose steam..
“I know you're sorry, but there's no need to take it to heart..”
“Because it worked out well in the end?”
“It's not about that level. Calzac saved me from the mountains..”
“But, that's-.”
“What was the situation at the time, and what was the most reasonable option? That's enough. Let's say that this time I have paid the life debt I owed back then..”
“Are you done with that??”
“A life debt can only be repaid with a life debt, right?.”
Calzac said in an absurd voice..
“That's fun. That's a saying that southern mercenaries talk about.…….”
Now that I think about it, this guy was also a mercenary..
Judging by the way he speaks, it seems like he lived in the south before becoming a major criminal..
What should I hide?.
Before I was taken to Yeongsan, the longest I stayed was in that gutter..
“…For now, I understand. But, if you need my help, tell me anything..”
“Anything?”
“okay. whatever.”
“…….”
He was a light guy, but he wasn't the type to joke about things like this..
I nodded and asked.
“Anyway, now I remember, what happened to my ring sword??”
“sorry. I broke it.”
“Please pay for that..”
Calzac burst out laughing and turned around, waving his hand..
I looked at the back and said.
“I'm talking about Mr. Juan..”
“…….”
Calzac's body stopped..
“Maybe I didn't like it from the beginning..”
“…why do you think so?”
“I heard the devil say.”
I recited exactly what Tangtata, the green-tongued devil, said..
- yes… … ! The humans from before... He said he has someone he loves.…….
- When I asked for his heart, the human cried out... … . They say they can give anything else... Well, you can't do that. Wow, the look on your face when you lose something valuable... It's the most fun……?
I have no sympathy for Mr. Juan..
To be honest, I think dying to the devil was a good thing..
But aside from such personal sentiments, I thought Carlzac should know this truth..
“…Did you do that?.”
Calzac did not look back, but his head was slightly lowered..
I've told you the truth, so it's up to you to decide..
“Thank you, Luan Badnicker.”
Just before I left, I heard a short voice..
The voice was a little suppressed, but I pretended not to notice..
* * *
the next morning.
I had a refreshing morning for the first time in a long time..
“ah… good night.”
In the uncomfortable and narrow bedroom of Yeongdo-dong, I slept soundly in a bed for the first time in a while after sleeping outside in the cold and uncomfortable space..
I immediately woke up feeling refreshed and left the room, loosening my neck joints..
“Ah, master. Are you awake??”
“…Uh oh.”
The maid I saw for the first time nodded her head..
Besides, it feels like Socheoldang is crowded..
Was it late at night last night and everyone was sleeping??
At a glance, I saw maids and servants who had been busy since morning, wiping the hallways, wiping window frames, and wiping water into flower pots..
“Have you been coughing, master?!”
“good morning.”
“Please let me know if you need anything.”
Whenever I passed by, the servants stopped what they were doing and bowed their heads in a polite manner..
All the maids I encountered bowed their heads and said hello..
Compared to when I first came to my parents' home, my attitude is completely different..
I realized that my situation had changed a lot..
‘If this is the case, I guess I don’t have to go all the way to the main house to eat?.’
With that thought in mind, I headed to the restaurant on the first floor. Although there was no food prepared, there was an appetizing smell in the air..
A man who appeared to be a monk came and bowed his head and said..
“Are you here, master? The meal will be served soon. If there is any food you would like to avoid, please let us know in advance..”
“I eat everything as long as it tastes good.”
“Well sir.”
As I sit at the table waiting for my food, I see a familiar face..
It was Keian.
“Good morning.”
“Are you awake?.”
Keian said, lowering his head..
“How about a cup of tea before the meal? Ginger tea is good for hangovers.”
“It's good.”
I nodded, and Keian started making tea with a warm smile..
Are you enjoying the tea ceremony??
In the profile of this upright old man, I feel like I have discovered, for the first time, a figure appropriate for his age..
“Here it is.”
“hmm.”
After smelling the scent, I took a sip of the tea..
“sorry. It looks like a great car, but I'm not good at words so I can't describe it..”
“Those words are truly high praise..”
After a while, Sooksu brought out the food, and for the first time in a while, I ate breakfast with a relaxed attitude..
“Master, what do you plan to do now??”
After the meal was over, Keian asked me.
I answered while drinking tea after dinner..
“I want to go to the academy.”
“Is that so. Then the break won't be that long..”
“huh?”
“The carriage for the islands will leave in a week. If you want to fit in with the schedule of the special training course, you should go there then..”
“1Because it’s Sunday… … . It's appropriate.”
I nodded and asked.
“Do you know who is going to Yeongdo??”
“well. Applications are accepted until just before departure, so there will be constant changes. First of all, I understand that the maximum number of people is 10 people..”
10My name is…….
I wonder if all those numbers will be filled..
“If the number of applicants exceeds that number,?”
“I quit based on the results of the training session..”
It’s a Badknicker-like solution..
I stood up and said.
Now that my stomach is full, I should go outside and relax a bit..
“What happened to the other spirits??”
“More than half left this morning. Those who remain will either enter Heros through Badniker or head to the Academy..”
“I'll be staying in a room on the first floor of the mansion.?”
“That's right.”
Should I take a look and see what they are doing?.
I wonder how many people will go to the academy..
I left Cycad Hall with Keian in tow..
The sun is warm, but the wind is still cold in late winter.
As I was walking through the still desolate garden of Badniker, I felt like I wanted to look at the flowers that had just bloomed..
Will I be at the academy by the time spring comes?.
“lower pressure!”
At that time, a loud sound of excitement reached my ears..
I see two familiar faces standing in the training hall beyond the garden..
Charon and Hector.
“Are you competing??”
“It seems so..”
“Ohh.”
There is nothing in the world more fun than watching a fight..
Charon was wielding two daggers, and Hector's weapon was of course a sword..
At a glance, Hector seems to have the upper hand. This is not an unexpected result. I realized this when I competed in the cave..
Now, Hector clearly has the upper hand when it comes to PvP abilities..
The fighting didn't last long.
Charon, who had been pushed back the entire time, was caught off guard for a moment and missed a dagger..
Hector did not miss the opportunity and quickly overpowered Charon..
“…….”
Charon gritted his teeth and threw away the remaining dagger..
In effect, he admitted defeat..
“It was a good sparring.”
Hector spoke bluntly and held a lead sword..
The young people who were watching burst into cheers. Charles' voice seems to be unusually loud..
The moment Hector wiped his sweat and smiled slightly pleasantly, Charles let out a scream..
“Wow!!”
Leave the plague.
Charon left the training ground without picking up his sword, and coincidentally, the direction he was walking towards was the direction I was walking in..
The guy who was walking unsteadily looked at me and trembled..
“you…….”
“good morning.”
“…….”
There was no answer, so I raised my fist and spoke again..
“good morning.”
“Joe, good morning..”
Does this bastard not even know how to say good morning? I feel more puzzled than bad..
Sometimes, it seems like he has no more common sense than Mir..
“I enjoyed the sparring. I was so helpless.?”
“…….”
“Does your stomach turn? Even before the retreat, you must have been much stronger than Hector..”
I was openly sarcastic, so Charon glared at me..
I burst out laughing as I received those looks..
Do I resemble my teacher?.
I like a guy whose eyes are alive until the end like this, rather than a guy who bows just because he gets hit a few times..
“…My specialty is not fighting people. It's hunting.”
“I guess so. But it won't be long before your good hunting skills catch up..”
“what?”
I didn't respond and just gestured as if to pass by..
Charon clenched his fists and rushed past me..
‘I think it could be useful if polished well..’
Although Charon is also a guy with many strange things,.
My nose is three inches wide now..
‘underground library.’
If I leave my home now, I don't know when I'll return..
That means there's only one week left until we leave for the academy..
Within that period, you must find it..
* * *
Even though it is temporary, the position of head of the household is comfortable..
Even if I wander around this wide land like my own home, there is no one to stop me..
“really. It's my house.”
Sometimes, when I had time, I talked or ate with the people who stayed at my parents' house..
Thanks to you, I now know roughly who the people who go to the academy are..
Of course, the rest of the time is spent exploring the underground library..
Not only the main building, but also outbuildings clustered around, accommodations and warehouses used by residents.…….
I searched every building, but I couldn't find the way to the underground library..
Although there was an underground space in the user's lodgings, it seemed to be mostly used as storage..
And I concluded on the third day.
“It would be impossible to find this by jumping straight in..”
Now the remaining means is hydrogen gate.
The first thing I went to was the head maid..
This is the head maid who said something meaningful to me when I was visiting the underground library before the retreat..
“I don't know the exact location. But I know it exists..”
The maid spoke with her characteristic expressionless face, as if she had been waiting for me to arrive..
“Sir, just because it's an underground library doesn't mean you have to go through the building..”
“ah-.”
I came to my senses a little..
And from that day on, I didn't just search the building, I searched the entire family manor..
Perhaps there is a passage somewhere in the [Butterfly Forest]... If that's the case, it's better to just give up..
How wide is the forest?.
‘still.’
I was feeling strangely confident..
There must be a passage leading underground somewhere in the manor, not in the forest..
And two days later…….
“…….”
I finally found it.
Beyond the back garden where entry is prohibited, a place that connects directly to the forest without a fence.
Coincidentally, it was near the hut where I met Iron Blood Master last time..
There was a well behind the cabin, but the water source was dry and had been abandoned for a long time..
In other words, this well is a passage through which people can enter and exit..
Sooooo-.
The weather has cleared up a lot, but somehow I can feel the cool chill below..
“Umm.”
After all, I have no choice but to go in person..
I touched the back of my neck and jumped down the well..
fault.
“…….”
The well itself was narrow, but the space underneath was much more spacious and there was even a rough dirt road dug out in front..
The road is big enough for two or three people to easily pass by..
If you look closely, you can see that it was not a naturally created crypt..
‘It seems like the road has been open for a while..’
Jeopuk-.
Let's move on for now.
Just in case, keep the tension up so you can respond to whatever comes up..
Then, after not long, there was a fork in the road... There was even a sign posted out of nowhere in the middle of the intersection..
The most bizarre thing was the phrase written on the sign..
