Became the youngest disciple of God of War - Episode 225
225fury
I stood there blankly, and then asked the second sister-in-law as if she were right in front of me..
“I can see it?”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ shakes his head and taps his eyes..]
“ah.”
I was so lost for a moment that I even forgot that my sister-in-law was blind..
“Then you can hear my voice?”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ nods his head..]
Has the soul that ran away from home not returned yet??
Of course you can hear it, so you must have answered the first question..
Either left or right.
“…haha.”
I laughed out of joy.
I felt as happy as when I suddenly returned and bumped into the fourth executioner in Yeongsan..
“Sister, how have you been? I think I heard my sister-in-law's bell ring the other day when I was in a bit of a crisis. Maybe she helped me that time. Or maybe I was just hallucinating. By the way, have you seen Master recently?-.”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ puts his index finger to his mouth..]
I closed my mouth at the message that appeared in front of me..
Somehow, the image of the sister-in-law, leisurely unfolding and folding the wire, with a faint smile on her face, seemed to flash before my eyes..
I got excited.
While I was slowly catching my breath, the window containing the sister's will appeared again..
[‘'Blind Heavenly Demon' says he will be able to communicate like this often in the future..]
“is that so? Besides the sister-in-law, there are other executions as well.……?”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ nods his head..]
If so, that's a relief.
The fourth executioner who failed to say thank you last time.…….
Seren - I have a lot to ask the third brother, who is presumed to be from the same world as Sihyeon..
I opened my mouth again.
“Did you hear from the fourth brother that I stopped by Yeongsan once??”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ is positive..]
If you heard it, you talk fast..
I got straight to the point..
“Then, can I go to Yeongsan right now??”
There was no answer, but I got the feeling that my second sister-in-law, who must have heard my voice, seemed to be thinking for a moment..
“It doesn’t have to be right now. The important thing is that I want to decide the timing to some extent..”
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Demon’ asks if you want to practice?.]
“that's right.”
When I say yes, there is silence again for a moment.
A few seconds later, the window appeared again..
[‘'Blind Cheonma' says that he will be able to come to Yeongsan sooner or later without being impatient..]
[He adds that at that time, you will have to make your own preparations..]
“hmm.”
I got a little goosebumps.
The second sister's classes, education, and training are harsh. Among the death penalty punishments, its severity was by far the highest..
Even the fourth brother, who is relatively self-disciplined and analyzes the opponent's physical abilities to create an accurate curriculum, gave me a task that almost killed me at Yeongsan..
Then how much is the second sister-in-law willing to tease me??
“great. see you later.”
I was a little worried, but I was also excited..
Of course it's not because I'm a pervert..
I am looking forward to the results that will be achieved after going through the rigorous training..
[‘‘Blind Heavenly Horse’ supports your path ahead..]
Faaaa, a faint light flickered..
The light immediately turned into an old book and fell onto my palm..
[‘‘Blind Cheonma’ sponsors the Cheonaktanseo (天惡誕誕書).]
“Cheon's residence?”
Out of curiosity, I called again, but the window did not appear..
Somehow, it feels like the water drop-like presence that is unique to the second sister-in-law has disappeared..
“hmm…….”
I wiped away my tangled bangs and quenched my appetite..
Somehow I felt like I had seen something in broad daylight, but…….
The book in my palm proved that what had just happened was not a dream or a hallucination..
* * *
The destination, Heros' headquarters, is quite far away..
First of all, it wasn't a distance worth walking, so of course I had no choice but to look for a carriage to ride.…….
I didn't look for transportation and decided to just rent a carriage..
It was because it was bothersome to stay with other people during the short journey..
I'm renting out a carriage. To put it bluntly, it's a lot of money, but what can I do?.
Even if it's expensive, only people with money can do it. It sucks, but it's the truth..
Anyway, I know how to drive a carriage, but considering the distance, I thought it would be better to leave it to the experts..
There are many people who look down on driver drivers because they are a menial job, but I cannot agree with this at all..
Among coachmen, the best are well-versed in the roads throughout the empire, have an excellent ability to respond to danger, are quick at constructing and dismantling tents, and can even perform duties such as cooking or watch-watching..
Of course, it wasn't easy to find that level of talent.…….
“My name is Gon! It's an honor to have a renowned hero from the Academy! haha.”
The coachman, a middle-aged man, said with a bright face..
The word glory is not an empty word..
I paid about twice the average price..
Is it thanks to that?.
Your eyes sparkle like the Milky Way.
Of course, he is a capable person worth spending that much money on..
Keian, our all-purpose collector, was in charge of the selection, and it is said that the decision was made after directly contacting the merchant guild and meeting face-to-face..
“When are you leaving??”
“Let's go tomorrow morning.”
“All right. Then, I’ll see you tomorrow at the East Gate..”
I nodded and thought about telling Mir the location.…….
For some reason, I didn't think this guy would come looking for me, so I decided to just move along..
I decided to take Mir to an inn near the east gate and stay there for one night..
I asked Mir, who was chasing after me..
“do you have money.”
“there is!”
Mir proudly showed his money bag..
I checked the contents briefly and it was full..
Things that look like the teeth and claws of some kind of animal..
“what's this.”
“Hmm? It's money?”
Is this the currency of the giants??
“Silver and gold?”
“what is that?”
“…….”
I was at a loss for words for a moment.
When I thought about it, I realized that this guy had been doing group activities ever since he was a Bad Knicker, so he never had to spend money privately..
At first glance, it may seem like a situation with no answer, but that is not necessarily true..
I took Mir to the bank.
This was because the Imperial Bank exchanged all currencies, even those of other races..
The amount of money I got that way was only 4 silver and 17 copper..
“Oh oh… Is this a silver coin?……!”
Mir looked at the silver coin curiously, blew on it, and even wiped it with his sleeve..
For reference, that money wasn't even a penny left after staying for two days..
Of course, the price of the system is a bit absurd, but even taking that into account,…….
“…You were broke..”
“huh?”
When I explained the cost of living in the islands to Mir, who tilted his head, his face turned slightly white..
“Well, that can’t be… … . With that money, I could eat plenty of bear meat for a month in my hometown.…….”
“…….”
“Well, still… I can stay for two days, so I will pay my share.!”
Mir spoke proudly..
I tapped his shoulder and said.
“no. You give me my share too.”
“Yes?”
“You buy dinner tonight and breakfast tomorrow..”
Mir's pupils shook violently..
“Uh, why?……?”
“I hired the carriage and driver. And I will pay all travel expenses. Even while traveling, you still have to eat.”
“aha…….”
It was not disclosed that it cost as much as 5 gold to hire a driver and carriage and buy the necessary items..
Mir paid the money at the inn with a gloomy look on his face, and we started having a late dinner..
First of all, it was an inn with a restaurant, but the taste was so bad that I stopped eating after taking a few spoonfuls..
“Hmm? Have you already eaten everything??”
“okay. Do you want to eat the rest??”
“good night!”
Mir took what I was eating and then ate it..
This little guy seems to have a big stomach and is able to stuff it into his mouth easily. It seems like he's bigger than me in terms of appetite, but is he still a giant?.
Anyway, it couldn't be helped that the food quality at the inn was poor..
It was because it was a shabby inn with few people..
Now that we are quite famous in the islands, we deliberately went to places like this..
As I filled my stomach with water, I suddenly asked.
“But is it okay for you to follow me like this? I didn't have anywhere else to go?”
“does not exist.”
“Hometown is?”
“There's no way I can go, right? Because my coming of age ceremony is not over.”
Mir said something strange..
“coming of age ceremony?”
“Yes. Our people leave their homeland before they reach adulthood and never return until they are ready to take the final test..”
“What is the final test??”
“Land of trials! Anything is fine if you go there, just hunt a demon beast.!”
If the Northern Trials are land, I know it..
It is considered one of the four forbidden places in the empire, along with the Swamp and Jewel Mountains, and access to it is strictly controlled by the giants..
“What are you hunting??”
“You have to go to find out, right? ‘Lava Serpent’, ‘Ragged Dog’, ‘Molar Wolf’ and ‘Hell Eagle’… … . I don't know what I will meet.”
Just by hearing about them, they seem like great monsters..
Can Mir really catch that much of a monster alone??
“If you succeed in hunting, only then will you be recognized as a warrior and be able to choose a weapon at the [Frozen Forge]! Doesn’t your heart get bigger just thinking about it??”
Mir said, waving his hands wildly..
“In other words, you had no intention of returning to your hometown in the first place..”
“Yes. I was already planning to follow you, but I was glad that you told me to go with you first..”
“He tried to follow me?”
Mir nodded..
“Because I felt like I could somehow become stronger if I was next to you. It was like that even in that bright red world. I was able to push my limits.”
“You almost died.”
“I'm not afraid of dying on the battlefield.”
“what?”
Mir laughed..
The vicious smile showing his fangs suited him strangely well. Is it because he has the face of a warrior?.
“What I'm really afraid of is not being able to fight anymore even though I'm alive. I survived, I am stronger than before, and luckily all my limbs are still intact. It was clearly taken care of by our ancestors..”
I looked at Mir with a somewhat blank expression..
Poor speaking skills, small body... … . Mir was not a being that could be ignored due to such factors..
“Badknicker is good. Because you give me endless trials. Thanks to the incident at the retreat, I no longer stiffen when I see something bigger than me. I was finally able to fight.”
“…….”
“I have a feeling that I can become stronger if I stay with you in the future..”
When I saw Mir, I was speechless for the first time in a long time..
what should i say.
Mir Giant was a reliable talent that made me reflect on myself for trying to use it as a soldering iron..
Aside from his body, his mind was already at a perfected level compared to other Youngdo guys..
It feels stronger than Seren, Hector, and maybe even Charon..
“…okay. If you're by my side, the ordeal will never stop..”
“Haha! I believe it!”
Mir burst into laughter.
* * *
After eating, Mir went back to his room.…….
I left the inn again.
Although the night was bright in the islands, the surroundings were dark, perhaps because this inn was located in a secluded area..
I went to a place that looked like an abandoned park and sat on a shabby bench..
And before leaving, I took out the beef jerky I had brought with me and chewed it..
After a while, I felt a presence, and someone sat at the end of the bench where I was sitting..
I said, showing jerky..
“Want some? It doesn't taste that good though.”
“it's okay.”
“Is that so?.”
I shoveled the remaining beef jerky into my mouth..
I didn't really mean to, but it occurred to me that I've been in a similar situation with this guy before..
Back then, we talked on the bench at the academy, sitting at the ends of each other..
It definitely hasn't been that long, but it felt like a long time ago..
“Hey Evan.”
I looked at Evan and asked.
“what are you going to do now?”
“…….”
Evan was silent..
He was the guy who left the academy after the incident. He asked around about this guy's whereabouts, but no one knew..
It means that he intentionally hid himself..
Aside from that, I knew that this guy had been following me since yesterday..
What has this guy been thinking these past few days??
I was curious, but I didn't bother to ask and instead talked about something else..
“If you don't have anything to do, let's go to Heros together..”
