I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 334
334fury
Was dizziness something that could be controlled??
This was my second time using space scrolling, and this time the motion sickness wasn't as bad as before..
The feeling of being upset was still unpleasant, but I didn't feel nauseous..
When the light surrounding everything disappeared, I first checked Verita..
I had low expectations, but I was wondering if I would be able to see this guy break down for the first time.…….
“…….”
…But unfortunately, Berita was standing upright with a face that was no different from when she left..
Keian also seemed to be a bit impressed right after the move..
‘I really want to take a look at this one.’
Did he sense my insidious thoughts?.
Verita asked.
“why are you like that?”
“no.”
I looked around with an indifferent expression on my face, but I guess that's the same thing..
This time, Assad’s face was visible again..
Unlike before the return, this time I was sitting and reading a book, and it seems that the change occurred because I came a little earlier than last time..
Assad must have sensed our presence, but he did not take his eyes off the book. He rested his chin, scanned the pages with his eyes, and only lifted his lips..
“You arrived sooner than expected, Luan Badnicker. long time no see. Has it been a year and a half??”
“That's about it..”
“okay. You have become a very famous person during this time..”
“…….”
“This is the first time I have seen someone who has become so entangled with a cult, a devil, and a demon lord in a short period of time. Even Delac in the past wasn't as good as you..”
A similar conversation took place as last time..
There have been a lot of changes from my perspective, but it's probably because it's not Assad who was waiting quietly at home..
What changed in that conversation was the moment Assad's gaze turned to the left..
“But who is the companion next to me??”
“…….”
The air suddenly became heavy..
Archmage Assad.
This man, who is basically a recluse, has a very closed personality and is famous for being cold and indifferent to outsiders..
Moreover, as Keian said, the news that Sanghyeolgong is currently in critical condition is a secret among secrets that should never be revealed to the outside world.…….
I can't help but look at Verita's eyes..
‘but…….’
In other words, as long as they get this man's permission, no one in Badniker will be dissatisfied with Verita's company..
Fortunately, Verita was not an ordinary person, so despite receiving those cold eyes, she smiled and opened her lips..
“72My name is Razbet and I belong to the Church Interrogation Office. Are you Archmage Asad? I've heard the name well..”
Assad took a quick look at Berita's behavior and then asked me again:.
“Are you a Heretic Questioner? What about Kayan?.”
Maybe I don’t even want to talk to you?.
You could have just asked me directly, but you don't even bother to tell me..
“We decided to come back separately. I heard about his father's situation. I thought Sister Lazbeth here would be helpful, so she was specially invited..”
Then Assad's expression became colder..
“You really let outsiders know about your family's affairs.?”
“That's right.”
“… I never thought I'd have this much thought. No, let me ask first. You probably don't know how big a problem Delak's condition is for the empire, so why did they spread it??”
“It's not like it was spread. I didn't tell anyone else but Sister Razvet..”
“So why did you say that?.”
“I thought he was a trustworthy person..”
Assad frowned..
“I know a bit about the Heretic Questioner. The only thing on their minds is about cults and the devil. This means that they may even try to use Delak's current state for subjugation. As bait.”
“Your language is a bit excessive.?”
“It's okay, brother..”
Even when Berita was insulted to her face, she was not shaken at all..
Actually, that guy doesn't look like he'd be angry unless it had something to do with me..
Even if I hear double insults in my face, I just brush it off, and if I get slapped in the face, I feel like I will turn the other cheek too.?
“Assad, I understand your concerns. In fact, there are definitely brothers and sisters in the interrogation office with extreme tendencies like you mentioned..”
Then Assad spoke to Berita for the first time:.
“Are you different from them??”
“No matter how verbally I argue, it will be difficult for Assad to accept it. So I swear to God right here.”
Berita wrapped both hands around the inverted cross in her hand and muttered as if she were praying..
“From this moment on, I will keep quiet about everything I saw and heard on Badniker. If I ever reveal this, God will not forgive me..”
It's not just words.
A faint divinity glimmered in Berita's body... … . Of course, you won't lose your life if you don't actually keep those words..
At least in the believer's body, it is clear that a divine power that can be seen with the naked eye was demonstrated..
It was a reaction that could only come out if the words spoken and the inner feelings were completely consistent..
“…….”
Only then did Assad lose his momentum..
The pressure I was putting on you just now felt like a lie..
‘no way……?’
No way.
It was only then that I realized that it was an act to receive that oath in the first place..
“good. For now, I acknowledge your stay..”
widely.
Assad closed the book, stood up and said:.
“But I still don't think it would be helpful apart from acknowledging your existence? After all, the main job of the Heretic Questioner is to fight against the Dark Church and subdue demons. The instrument that put Delac in critical condition was so severe that it was my first time seeing it..”
“As you know, not all musical instruments have equal power. Just as mana has its own properties, each instrument also has its own properties. The same applies to divine power. I will not say that I have better healing power than the bishops at our church. However, the instrument that ate up the duke's body may be a good match for me..”
“I know what you're saying, but statistically it's slim. The moment you fall ill and become ill, it is said to be similar to the probability that a medicinal herb with special effects will grow right in front of you..”
Assad sighed and muttered..
“…I said that, but I guess there's nothing we can do since we have to grasp at straws..”
“…….”
For some reason, I thought that that voice might be the first time Assad revealed his sincerity..
Aside from everything else, I am sincere in my desire to save Sanghyeolgong-gong..
“In any case, you will have to meet in person to find out the compatibility.?”
“That's right.”
“good. Then you will accompany me for now. And Luan Badnicker. I have something special to ask of you..”
I thought I knew what to ask, but I didn't bother to ask..
“What is it?”
“Besides this nun, there is currently a talented person in the family who can heal Delak. The problem is that she has a very picky personality and there is a high possibility that she will not listen to our requests.…….”
“Are you Lise??”
“that's right. You're quick-witted.”
Assad spoke with a slightly surprised expression..
“I heard you've become a bit close with that guy, can you do me a favor??”
“…….”
I made eye contact with Assad and nodded calmly..
“great. Let's give it a try.”
***
“hmm. It's been quite a while.”
Lycerradigos spoke exactly the same words as in his memory..
I was wondering what to say in response, but I just said something similar to what I said back then..
“Was a bit busy.”
“Fighting with the cult bastards?”
“Yes.”
“okay.”
a moment of silence.
Lise glanced into my arms and closed her mouth with a somewhat disappointed expression..
I expected that kind of reaction..
Actually, it's not that difficult to stop by the kitchen and make refreshments, but today I came empty-handed on purpose..
“Mr. Lise.”
“What.”
“The head of the family is currently in critical condition..”
“…….”
“Did you know??”
RiSe’s eyes changed..
From the eyes of a little lady who covets sweets to the eyes of a ruthless and selfish magician..
Rise snorted and said.
“What do you think of me? The eyes and ears this body has spread throughout Badniker's territory are as numerous as the books in this library..”
“…….”
I thought so too.
I didn't know anything else, but there was no way he didn't know that one of the family's guardians, the head of the family, was in critical condition..
I heard about it from another person, or I thought I had the means to independently gather information on the ground..
In other words, it means that Riise was aware of Sanghyeolgong's situation even before his return..
“okay. Well sir.”
“Is there anything more to say??”
“yes. I have a favor to ask you.”
“…what?”
I took a mask out of my pocket..
“……?”
“This is the mask of the Linchal tribe. You saw it once when you folded it.?”
“But why is that suddenly?”
“I know this is a very high quality item. I don't like the way it looks now when it's transformed. Should I say it’s not my taste… … . So I was wondering if I could just adjust the appearance..”
“…….”
“Is it a bit difficult??”
“It's not difficult…….”
“Oh, thank goodness. Then, is it possible to increase the number of transformations? I wish there were at least two or three if possible..”
“I guess you'll have to see it for yourself to find out. The total amount of magic that can be engraved is limited depending on the area and material of the mask... … . no. That's not it.”
Lise's voice rose and she looked at me with bewildered eyes..
“Don't waste time talking nonsense, just talk..”
“What.”
“I'm really asking for it. You must have something to say to me.?”
“I don't have any.”
“what? Didn't Assad send you here? What about Delac's treatment?.”
“That's right. So, if he asks you questions later, please respond accordingly. I put my head down and begged, but Lise didn't listen..”
“her.”
Rise lowered her head with a puzzled expression on her face and flapped her legs. Then the water splashed and ripples spread across the water..
“… Do you not understand the current situation? Delac is injured. Badniker's pillar, Sanghyeolgong, is in critical condition. This family, no. You probably don't know what kind of presence Delak is in this empire..”
“I know it well.”
“Lycerradigos is the only being who can definitely fix it..”
“Well, I don't know. I managed to bring in some people who could help, and I plan to do as much as I can..”
“…….”
“So, Lise, please just improve my mask. Of course, I'm not asking for this out of thin air, but next time I come, I'll bring baking tools and a book. Or maybe there are books on confectionery in this library??”
That's my guess, but I don't think it'll happen.
Rather than books about hobbies or entertainment, most of them seemed to be old books closer to professional knowledge..
“…….”
Rise seemed speechless now..
Am I really reluctant??
As a negotiation genius, I took a step back at this point..
“You could just do that. It's not like I can come every time, and I thought it would be best if I could make it myself.-.”
“…Give me the mask for a moment.”
Without saying anything, I took out the Linchal mask and handed it to Lise..
As always, Rise held the mask up with her hair and checked it with a complicated expression..
“…I think there could be up to three in this size of area..”
“ah. is it so? So, will we keep the existing form and add two more transformations??”
“What you want is.”
“hmm… One is an ordinary appearance, that is, a blurry impression that anyone who sees it can quickly forget. I hope the other one is of a different race..”
“different races?”
“yes. I think Lizardman would be best..”
Among the different races, the one that is least repulsive to the people of the empire is the Lizardmen..
In addition, while staying with Araksad, I learned a bit about the characteristics and habits of lizardmen, so I don't have to worry about my transformation being discovered..
“good night. give it a try.”
“thank you.”
Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief..
‘This should be enough?’
Lycerradigos is someone who has helped me in many ways and can continue to do so in the future..
At least among the people I know, there are less than three people who can compare to Lyse in terms of their knowledge of magic, even including archmages like Alderson and Assad..
In particular, your knowledge of black magic, necromancy, and demonic contracts will surpass them..
“Then I'll just leave..”
“…Luan Badniker.”
“yes?”
“hmm.”
Rise, who hesitated with a strange attitude, spoke briefly..
“…Come again.”
A silent laugh came out..
Of course it wasn't RiSe's intention, but it was the exact opposite of the line she heard before returning..
I nodded and responded.
“Of course I have to come again.”
Maybe next time we'll bring better news.…….
I decided to hold back on those words for now..
There is nothing that makes people more miserable than mere hopes..
