Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 219
219fury
I stared at the book for a moment, but of course there was nothing I could find out just by looking at the cover..
I immediately opened the book and flipped through the next page.…….
Immediately my expression became one of astonishment..
This, this……?
“…I don't know anything?”
Did I suddenly become blind again??
I narrowed my eyes and checked the writing... I soon realized that wasn't the case..
Unlike the cover written in print, the writing on the page was not at a level I could read at all..
Does it look like an earthworm crawling?.
To put it good, it's cursive, to put it bad, it's bad handwriting..
If the writing is this bad, even if it's a language I know, it feels like it will take time to interpret..
“…Umm.”
Question again here.
How on earth was Seren able to read this language??
The language I learned from my third brother..
I remembered a conversation I once had with Seren..
- Then what is your real name??”
- real name… well…….
- How did you pronounce it?…….
“…Wow, what a head..”
stopped thinking.
Somehow, I got the feeling that no matter how much I thought about it, I would never be able to find out the truth..
I think I'll find the answer to this only after meeting him in person..
So I decide to take the book with me..
It was said that among the items in this warehouse, it was possible to obtain items of unknown origin without any special procedures..
In other words, I will have no problem owning this book..
Of course, I also had questions about why this book was left in the storage room.…….
I'll think about this later too.
There will be very few people in the world who can interpret this book. The same goes for archaeologists who fly around..
However, Seren interpreted Laplace's new book that was said to be in Goodspring..
Coincidentally, that guy is in the royal palace right now..
‘I also like the attitude I saw for a moment back then..’
Anyway, I plan to meet Seren today, so I'll stop thinking about the book here for now..
I wandered around the warehouse again..
To be honest, I barely paid attention to the weapons..
No matter how much of the imperial treasury there is, I don't think there's any weapon that catches my eye..
The reasons are different, but the same goes for armor like armor..
My fighting type is all about quick offense and defense switching, so I need to be at least a little lighter..
Even when on the defensive, evasion rather than defense is the main strategy..
For this reason, my attention was focused on magic tools and relics rather than weapons.…….
However, he did not call the martial arts spirit..
I don’t have time to evaluate each and every one of them anyway. At the minimum, the number of items in this warehouse would exceed several thousand..
So, when I glanced at it, I focused on what caught my eye and my heart..
It's a feeling?
Now that I think about it, in the past, even when I was a crazy person, I sometimes enjoyed luxury like this..
“10minutes left.”
It was a voice I heard while I was watching in a daze..
It felt like the tone was telling me to make a decision quickly..
“hmm…….”
Even now, I only have one book..
For some reason, it's getting tiresome to look around even more, so I guess I'll just pick something random..
It was time for my heart to move in that direction..
I found a strange glove.
It was pitch black, and the material was unclear. In other words, it didn't seem that special. Rather, it attracted more attention because of that..
Because it was not seen as a weapon or armor..
“hmm.”
For some reason, my eyes and heart are in a state of being.
I walked closer and checked the gloves..
It was thick enough to be considered fabric, and had excellent elasticity to be considered leather..
It looks like a half-glove with exposed fingers. I looked at the soft gloves and tried them on my hands as if I was fascinated by something..
“and…….”
I can barely feel it when I wear it..
For a moment, it felt like a thin piece of cloth was touching, but soon even that feeling faded. I was amazed.
what should i say.
Regardless of the weapon's performance, I felt that it was a perfect match for me..
Sometimes, when a world-class swordsman holds a new sword that fits his hand perfectly, it feels like it feels good in his hand. That's how I feel right now..
‘Besides, it feels like this isn't everything.……?’
After thinking about it for a moment, I tried putting some energy into the gloves, and then something surprising happened..
Hwareuk!
Jet-black flames began to flutter from my fingers..
“strength?”
surprised.
Regardless of the level of the wearer, this was a magical device that allowed anyone to extract powerful energy as long as they had a certain level of internal power management ability..
I can also handle strong skills, but I can't say that my level is high at the moment..
This means that using these gloves will be much more efficient..
The operation is the same, and it feels like the internal power consumption has dropped to less than half..
The flickering black flame felt like a force focused on defense rather than attack.…….
If you're wearing this, you'll probably be able to hold a sword wielded by an expert with your bare hands..
“Huh, really…….”
It's quite embarrassing.
If you use this glove, you will be able to have a relative advantage over someone half a level higher than you and engage in close combat on equal footing with an opponent who is one level higher than you..
If it's a bit of a problem.
“…Master said that since you are a new soldier, you will bleed if you rely on God's weapons..”
hmm.
Umm.
Mmm…….
After mulling over it for a moment, I quickly made a decision..
“Take care of it first.”
Anyway, my final opponent is the devil..
I have to deal with monsters that are far beyond mortals and are close to gods, but I am in no position to worry about this or that..
“1minutes left.”
I heard the knight's voice again, but nothing in particular made me more greedy..
The moment I thought, wouldn't two be enough?…….
This time, my eyes caught the strange metal lying near the entrance..
“hmm……?”
The reason I couldn't see it when I came in was because it was quietly placed right near the entrance door. It's like a blind spot in the field of vision..
Anyway, the metal surface looked unimaginably smooth, but the texture was somehow familiar to me..
Where did you see that?.
“ah~.”
It feels similar to the rectangular object that Seren picked from the Dean's treasury..
There was nothing to choose, and the metal didn't seem to have a particular owner, so I took it for the last time and left the warehouse without any hesitation..
“Was there an item you liked??”
“yes.”
“Please give it to me.”
I handed the book, metal, and gloves to the knight. The driver who checked the goods nodded and said.
“If you go to the right, you will find a guest room. Please wait for a moment and I will send you a report of the production of the item..”
“yes.”
I headed to the room..
Inside the somewhat empty room, there were only chairs and tables..
Fortunately, there was a window, and beyond it I could still see the busy nightlife scene..
I sat down at the table and watched it..
Muscles strengthened through work, not training. Passion hotter than the flame of a furnace.
Sometimes harsh words were exchanged, but I felt that they truly loved their jobs and work..
‘It's a nice place.’
Is it because Cheil Chloride is my foundation?.
When I directly encountered this heat, I also felt quite a few things..
When I watch someone practicing, I feel like my body is strangely itchy..
“…….”
Somehow I got tired of training..
When was the last time you practiced holding each angle??
It was probably the time when I spent 100 days with the fourth executioner in Yeongsan..
Because after that, it was a series of actual battles..
Of course, such experiences also had a great impact on martial arts and mental and physical improvement.…….
feel bloated.
I feel like I can't properly use the weapons and tools I have now.?
It feels like there is food stuck in my throat..
‘Soon, I have to make a decision too..’
What exactly should I do after leaving the Imperial Palace?.
At that time, the knight appeared again with a knocking sound..
“All verification has been completed. Since the book and this unknown lump of metal are unclaimed items, I think you can keep them as is.…….”
The driver, with his words slurred, asks with a questioning expression..
“Are you really okay with this??”
“yes. But why was there an unclaimed item in the report??”
“That's because both are very old items. Relics from a ‘forgotten era’ have value..”
The driver's eyes looked out the window..
“The field managers here are both excellent craftsmen and appraisers. Not only does he have keen insight, but his level of knowledge is also better than that of most archaeologists. Therefore, the imperial palace acquired these relics through some kind of channel and entrusted the appraisal to the imperial court officials. The items that Yeongdo saw were things that the field managers ultimately failed to appraise and were unable to determine their origin or usage..”
“aha.”
So there were a lot of antiques and things like that. I couldn't throw it away just because it didn't seem worth it right away, so I kept it temporarily..
“And speaking of the master who made the gloves you chose, I'm sorry, but I think you'll have to meet him tomorrow..”
“Is there a reason??”
“That is…….”
The driver made an embarrassed face, then sighed and said,.
“I don't want to be disturbed now…….”
“…….”
Depending on how you interpret this reward, it could be a royal decree, but it's an answer like that..
I knew that dwarf craftsmen had strong pride, but experiencing it firsthand was more than I expected..
Apart from being surprised, my curiosity about the Yajang I made grew even more, and I felt like I wanted to go and see it right away..
“Hmm.”
But unfortunately, the sun outside the window is slowly setting..
Soon the banquet that the Purgatory Emperor spoke of will be held..
“It can't be helped. Well then, I'll see you tomorrow.”
“Thank you for your kindness.”
I shook my head..
In the first place, this article is not something to apologize for..
In anything, the person caught in the middle is the most in trouble..
I wanted to pat the driver on the shoulder and comfort him, but since he wasn't my subordinate, I just nodded..
* * *
I heard that the banquet will be held on the first floor of the imperial castle, that is, in a huge hall..
After briefly checking my clothes, I forcibly removed the maids who were clinging to me and headed to the banquet hall..
Then I met Charles and Hector in front of the imperial castle..
“oh. older brother?”
“Luan.”
Somehow Hector’s appearance is light. There was no bandage.
“You can already walk around like that?”
“In the afternoon, Sir Lena and Sir Molbius came to visit. He gave me a precious imperial potion. Thanks to this, there is no inconvenience in moving. It's still a little sore, though..”
“aha.”
“…And they both apologized to me..”
“Still, they were people with a conscience..”
“Lord Molvius' face was all bloody..”
“Look where you fell. That guy looks a bit grumpy..”
“Luan.”
Hector said with a stern face..
“The opponent was a member of the Royal Knights, the Imperial Shield. It ended well thanks to the response of the leader, Sir Lena, but originally, the matter would have been much bigger. If I had made a mistake, it could have resulted in a dispute between the imperial family and Badniker. It means it was an emotional response..”
“admit.”
I nodded obediently and agreed with Hector..
Hector was about to say more, but closed his mouth..
And after a while he said in a low voice.
“…still.”
“huh?”
“It was a bit refreshing. thanks.”
“uh?”
“…Don't hurry. The banquet will start soon.”
When I asked a question, Hector went to the banquet hall with a blank expression on his face. Somehow, the steps were a little fast..
Afterwards, Charles came to me and spoke in a low voice..
“You asked me ten times if you were hurt anywhere..”
“really? and. My brother has grown up now..”
“under. you really…….”
“By the way, what about Seren? I can't see it.”
“…I would have gone to the banquet hall first. hmm. and…….”
Charles hesitated slightly and said.
“Strangely, it felt like they were constantly avoiding us. Maybe it's my imagination.”
“…….”
well. It may not be an illusion.
Anyway, we headed to the imperial castle and entered the hall where the banquet was held..
“and. What is this again?…….”
The size of the banquet hall I saw in person was definitely different. The sparkling chandeliers and marble backlight make my eyes hurt..
There was quiet music and food, and there were a lot of people there..
“Aren’t there too many children of nobles? Those guys are all gathered because of us.?”
“There is that, but today is the 5th princess's debut party..”
“aha.”
“So, if you happen to run into the princess, be careful what you say and do..”
“I already made friends with the royal family.?”
“The academy is completely different from this place, so be polite. please.”
“I am not a child... … . okay.”
Hector glared at me with suspicious eyes and then headed to the center of the banquet..
“ah! Hector!”
“haha. The star of today's banquet has arrived.!”
“long time no see. Are you feeling okay??”
Soon, a large number of noble children gathered around him..
‘Come to think of it, that guy also paid a lot of attention to networking..’
From the beginning, he was close to the second prince, Lantus, and he often showed up at social gatherings held in the system, so he was acquainted with most of the children of noblemen..
He has a handsome face and good manners, so the look in the eyes of the noble women changed slightly as soon as Hector appeared..
Like the eyes of a wild beast that has caught its prey..
I thought it wouldn't be easy to respond to such passionate behavior without being rude..
‘Good luck, brother..’
Because Hector attracted a lot of attention, it became easier to move..
I picked up food and drinks in a corner and looked for Seren somewhere in the banquet hall..
However, even though I made a big circle, I couldn't even see Seren's shadow..
‘Are you back already? or not…….’
Just in case, I went out to the balcony..
It's an unusually bright night.
The night air was cool, but the moonlight and starlight came together so the night view of Hwangseong Castle was clearly visible even without lights..
Seren Goodspring was at the edge of the balcony..
There is a figure squatting in a corner that cannot be seen clearly, sniffling for some reason.…….
“……?”
Is he really crying??
I was confused for a moment.
The one who was sarcastic even before he died was a guy named Seren that I knew..
Maybe that's why the sight of him sobbing with red, bloodshot eyes was unfamiliar..
“…What should I do now… … ? what should i do…….”
As if he didn't see me, he muttered while holding his head with shaking eyes..
“…I can't do anything alone... … . It's always been like that. scared. I'm so scared…….”
Seren said, shedding tears..
“Where on earth did you go?…….”
At this time, I asked without realizing it..
“Who are you looking for??”
“……!”
Seren's head suddenly turned..
I thought Seren, who overheard me talking to herself, might get angry at me or run away.…….
This guy's reaction was unexpected.
“eww.”
“……?”
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!”
Seren burst into tears and ran towards me. With her tears and snot dripping down.
“Stop for a moment-.”
Before I could say “dance,” Seren’s body was stuck in my abdomen..
“Confucius! Prince Luan… … ! Wow……!”
“…Why on earth is this happening? Just calm down first.”
I took my eyes off the horrific scene of expensive clothes being covered in saliva, and managed to pull Seren away from me while comforting her..
“Hmm… black…….”
As if that didn't calm her down, Seren, who was shedding tears, suddenly bowed down as if she was bowing..
“help……!”
“What can I help you with??”
When I asked back with a puzzled face, Seren answered in a crying voice..
“Please, please save Sihyeon.!”
…who?
