CH 37

: By Apton (1)

An evening when the twilight had completely subsided.

After eating, Jamie returned to her room and sat on the bed.

In front of him was a brightly shimmering green marble.

It was a life orb extracted from the body of the doctor.

"I mean, it's also worth it."

As expected, after a day or so, the consumed life energy was charged close to 80%.

I don't know how it was made, but I don't know, but quite a lot of things must have been used as materials.

It was highly probable that a large amount of life was included among them. It was a natural thing to make a marble with this much vitality.

In a way, it's a peculiar thing, but Jamie didn't even care about that.

'I didn't make it.'

It was just that.

I won't make it myself, but I don't mean to say that someone else's work is unpleasant.

Most of all, it was a loss to throw it away because it was possible to predict what this marble was imitating.

"It's definitely an imitation of a dragon heart."

Dragon, the most powerful race on earth, called the supreme being and has the title of lord of magic.

Dragons had a heart-like substance called 'Dragon Heart', and the Dragon Heart was the source of their power.

Known as the world's most powerful substance, it has been held in the hands of humans several times over thousands of years.

At that time, there was a huge chaos in the world. Eventually, the chaos ended only after the dragon invaded the human world to retrieve the Dragon Heart.

'In my prime, I was nothing but lizard children.'

In fact, it was not a race to be downgraded to that extent.

Diablo Volfir's power was just too overwhelming.

Even then, the dragon was a powerful enough race.

"Even so, it is clear that their hearts are useful."

Jamie also had several artifacts that were refined from Dragon Hearts when she was a Diablo Volfir.

The Life Orb cannot be compared to the Dragon Heart, but if you absorb it, you will have a superior body.

If so, how do you absorb it?

Jamie came up with three ways.

first. Like a doctor, the whole body is inserted into the body and used like a battery.

In a possible way, the Doctor was a chimera, so it was possible to fully absorb it into the body.

However, Jamie's body was small because she was a child, and the organs and bones were also human.

Yes, I just couldn't.

second. Fuse with tools and use them as artifacts.

What was urgently needed right now was strengthening the body, not the weapon.

therefore pass.

last third.

"It is completely broken down and absorbed into the body."

It was similar to the first method, but it was a method that was broken down into particles and absorbed throughout the body.

Although the first method works in its entirety for effect, the third method is the most effective in Jamie's current situation.

"Then shall we begin?"

You'll probably have to devote the entire night to it.

black.

Jamie summoned the Familiar Black.

Although it suffered a lot of damage from the previous battle, through periodic black mana infusion and rest, it became quite well within a day.

"Are you okay?"

Queek!

Black spread his wings wide as if there was no problem.

Good. So from now on, I'll break it down into small pieces and let my body absorb it. You help with that."

giggling-

With Black's answer, Jamie's eyes turned purple.

A long night has begun.

* * *

Two days have passed.

The Zenith Church completely vacated the building.

However, they did not demolish it, because Earl Wellton demanded the church building in the reward list.

I could have refused, but manpower was used to demolish the building, and the cost was also incurred, so I granted the request of the Count of Zenith.

Thanks to this, this place became a ruin with only dust rolling.

"It's blah."

Van said looking into the sparse interior of the church.

"It must have been a dream for a moment."

Yeah.

Ricky's answer gave Ban a bitter expression.

I didn't believe it at first.

The people who brought them, who were orphans, fed them and put them to bed were actually bad guys.

It still seemed like a dream.

However, looking at Riki returning from Hell and her already dead friend Shinno, this hellish reality was not a dream.

"I believed so."

Huh.

"I'm so glad you came back too."

Van grabbed Ricky's shoulder.

If even Ricky had not come back alive, it would have been really painful. In fact, it was still very painful.

He wasn't very close with Shinno, but he was a member of the family who ate together.

"I can't trust anyone."

Van lifted his hand off Ricky's shoulder and walked to the wall where the symbol of Zenith was hanging.

Now only the traces of the hanging were left.

"Brother Van."

Anna, who had been quiet, cautiously called the van.

Van didn't answer, just stared at where the symbol was hanging.

What is religion.

Wasn't it a place to give your back to someone who had no place to lean on?

"I really don't know anymore."

The eyes of the still young boy had lost their light as if dead.

Because it was the most cheerful van, Ricky was heartbroken.

"Van. Come with me."

Huh. Come with us."

Anna responded to Ricky's words.

Van turned his head to look at the two siblings with a gloomy face.

heard and know

that they were chosen by another god.

So, you're going to an area that's far from Hiss.

I.

Van didn't answer easily.

The boy who was betrayed by his faith had a hard time choosing anything.

Then Anna let go of Ricky's hand and followed the road, approaching the van.

Van approached quickly, fearing she might fall.

"My brother is here."

"Brother Van. Hehe.

Anna held Van's hand tightly and smiled brightly.

Seeing her face, Van burst into laughter.

"Let's go together~"

" ."

"You said you would protect me."

That's what Van said to Anna the day Ricky left.

It had only been a few days, and Anna had a clear memory.

But Van didn't answer easily.

Going together meant that in the end, he would commit himself to religion once again.

It'll be fine, Van.

Ricky.

Huh. It will be fine.

Ricky approached and held out his hand.

The one and only precious friend they met at an orphanage and quickly became close friends.

Van stared at his friend's hand.

"Van. Come with me.

And Van smiled sadly as if he had made a decision.

"I'm sorry, Ricky. I don't think it will."

" van."

brother.

The siblings looked at the van at the same time.

Van carefully removed Anna's hand. He took a step back and shook his head.

Sorry. I don't think it will be anymore."

And while keeping a certain distance, I said to the two of them.

"I will never again turn to religion."

back to Goa

no one cares

It's good though.

"I want to live on my own."

I didn't know how far I could make it.

If you think soberly, it would be better to follow Ricky and Anna.

My head knew it, but my heart rejected it.

"Thank you both."

Ricky!

Ricky was about to run to grab him, but Van reached out his hand.

It was a sign not to come any further.

Ricky's face contorted.

Anna also began to shed tears like chicken poop.

"Brother Van ."

"May good luck always be in front of you two."

Van left those words and turned around.

He walked away without looking back.

Ricky couldn't stop him. I didn't have the right to do that.

He was just shouting at his distant friend.

"I will always be waiting for you! always!

Van raised his hand lightly.

The friend who seemed to be together forever became farther and farther away, and eventually became completely invisible.

Ricky and Anna held each other's hands tightly and sobbed quietly.

"Are you okay?"

The Count looked at his pathetic wife with worried eyes.

"Is there anything wrong with it?"

Sears drew a relaxed smile towards her husband.

"The Fear Knights escort you. And when my husband is Earl of Wellton, who will attack us?"

The Knights of Pierre were the strongest knights of the Welton family.

All of the knights were the elite among the elite, with a total of 30 people with skills of at least the beginning of expert.

Half of them are participating in this escort, so the thought of looting would be unthinkable unless even thieves went crazy.

"Besides, Lord Lars is with you."

Although he was not as good as the Master, Lars was also a skilled person reaching the advanced level of Expert.

Of course, Lars didn't know they were still together.

"I was a little surprised when I heard that he was a Holy Executor."

Iknow, right. It is very rare for a Holy Executor to leave Apton."

The Holy Executioner is the Pyro's most powerful weapon.

They always put the safety of the school first, so they didn't come out of Apton.

It was proof that the Pyro Church took this incident very seriously.

"Anyway, I'm sorry I couldn't come with you."

"You must protect the estate. If the lord is away for a long time, a big problem will happen."

"Thank you for alleviating my worries even a little."

"Of course."

The couple looked at each other passionately.

Then the Count sighed deeply.

"I'm worried about Jamie."

What happened at the ball was still vivid.

It was Jamie who lost his temper and tried to kill Count Simon's eldest son. If they were not around, the eldest son of Count Simon would have been killed.

"You never know when Jamie will explode."

Honey.

"I have acquired a power not worthy of a young age. I can't even imagine what kind of sad month it will be if I run out of control without being able to control my emotions like before."

I am not participating in this journey.

Although there is a Knight Commander Pierre, can he control Jamie's sudden explosion?

Of course, Jamie wasn't really young to make that mistake. just bad luck It was because Alf Simon quarreled and exploded at the chaotic timing.

However, since he did not know that Jamie had a warlock who had lived for eons in the first place, it was natural for the Count to worry.

"It will be fine."

Sears walked over to the disturbed Count and caressed his crude hand.

"Do you know what happened today?"

She told the Earl of the morning tea time.

A smile formed on the count's lips as he listened to the story.

"Really?"

Yeah. At the time, I was just a little anxious. We all know that he is a good-natured child."

right.

"I believe in my son. With me by your side, it will never happen again."

The Count smiled and gently wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulder.

"It's really nice to meet you."

"So do I."

Sears rested her head on her oceanic shoulders.

for a while too.

Both eyes turned to the table at the same time.

Exactly, it was a single letter placed there.

" By the way, I don't know what the father-in-law is thinking."

"I never knew what my father was thinking. Maybe even your deceased mother doesn't know?

"Are you really just wanting to see Jamie?"

The Earl let Sears go slowly and opened the letter.

There was a short sentence written there.

[Bring Jamie with you.]
