Duke, Please Repent! chapter 229
43. The Duke and the Demon of Darkness (4)
The people's sun was bright.
The thought of going into an underground city where there is no sunlight since the beginning of the year already makes me cramped.
I never dreamed that the Illuminati's first camp would be held in a dark place.
'People have to get the sun... .'
After I put my last luggage in my pocket, I unintentionally looked towards the window.
The window slid open without a sound. If I hadn't checked that side in good time, I would have never known that the window was open.
It was doubtful that someone had oiled it.
Serpens calmly stepped into the room even when our eyes met.
"Are you sure that I've packed my belongings well or have you come to supervise?"
"It's not like that. Before we go wait a minute. Where's the bed?"
After closing the window, the guy who turned around realized that the bed had disappeared and gave a bewildered expression on his face.
It's in a space pocket.
Why?
Why? Isn't it normal for people to sleep?
Serpens tilted his head to the side.
I followed him in the same direction
tilted the dog
"Is it because I forgot to buy a sleeping bag? Don't worry, I knew it would happen and I even packed Sunwoo's stuff."
"No, what the hell is that?! sleeping bag? I'm shivering~?!
...why are you reacting like that?
I don't know why Serpense's tone of voice is like that.
It wasn't like that before.
There is a pocket in the subspace, does it make sense to leave a comfortable bed like a bed and bring a sleeping bag?!
" Are you serious?"
Of course! This magic pouch that gets sucked in and pops out just by bringing a large object to the entrance is an innovation and revolution in the moving industry! Isn't this really a thing? Why don't you try to restore this technology?
"There have been several attempts to restore it, but each time people are sucked in "
The guy blurted out his words.
They didn't mention their end, but what happened next was obvious.
If you unintentionally put your hand in to take out the one who has been sucked in, you will be locked in the same way.
Suddenly, the pocket in his hand felt like a monster that swallowed everything.
The last question was not to be asked.
Ah, anyway! Humans are creatures that use tools, and human development has been accompanied by the development of tools. If there are such useful tools, shouldn't they be actively used?
At my words, Serpens had a look on his face as if he was saying, 'It's bullshit, but it's reliable.'
I can see that Serpens is not greedy for sleeping, but everyone else will bring their own beds.
It's not.
No! Are you betting? Filial piety?
...bread?,,
The first time he heard the name of bread, he fell into deep consideration.
I tried to explain, but somehow
I felt the will to see, so I decided to wait quietly.
The wait was very short.
Soon after, Serpens, who analyzed my usual speech and behavior patterns and came to the conclusion that 'It may not be the name of bread as it is what Seon-woo is talking about!', nodded as if he understood.
Then he spread out two fingers. It means take two.
Okay, Cole!
There is no reason to refuse a bet that is as good as a winning one.
Okay, then, Serpens, go quickly.
Bring your bed... Oh! Wait, in this way, if I add another bed to my room, no one will know?!
" if the furniture was full, didn't it get frustrated and not let go?"
Isn't it?
Wow, why did I just come up with this idea? Am I stupid?
Trying to admire my brilliant idea, Serpens made a pathetic expression.
At first glance, I feel sorry for me because of the drooping corners of my eyes.
He seemed to be here.
I have something to give to Seonwoo before I go to get a bed.
Are you going to give it to me? I'll just give it to you on the way or when you arrive. What did you come to your room for?
I said this, but I couldn't help it that my mouth was stuck in my ears.
Anticipation surged with a foreboding feeling that something great and amazing would be given.
'If it's enough for Serpens to come and give it to you, it's not an ordinary item!'
I'm sure he pulls out his pocket pockets
I glanced at him as he opened the door and put his hand in.
Fortunately, Serpens succeeded in taking out the desired item safely without being harassed.
The object was a clear, transparent gem the size of an adult man's fist.
Hey, great, dope...!
Could there be any more beautiful gems like this in the world?
Since the surface was not smooth, I could tell that it was a raw stone and not a processed one, but that does not mean that its beauty has faded.
Light scattered on the uneven, angled surface, and shimmered with dazzling brilliance.
It is so shiny that it feels like the room has become brighter. It is a serpentine-class sparkle.
I wanted to give it to you by processing it in my heart, but only Dwarves can handle it...
Of course! It would be blasphemy to leave such a thing in the hands of a human rather than a dwarf craftsman!
I was worried that I might get fingerprints, so I pulled out a handkerchief and held my hand.
spread out on the floor
The wealthy fence touched the jewels with her bare hands as if it was nothing, but as a small citizen, I couldn't afford to do that.
It is blasphemy.
Put it here, here!
Hmm... .
I acted like I was going to give it to you right away.
He looked at the jewels in my hand and me in turn with a look of uncertainty.
Oh, that's disrespectful! I'm going to lose it.
See Is that so? Then just let me take a look!
No matter how rich the fence is, it seems to be an expensive item that makes it difficult to give it as a gift.
Of course, if such a gem was that size, it would be expensive.
'Then why are you giving me this all of a sudden? Is it a death flag? Shouldn't it be okay?'
He was about to slowly withdraw his hand, but it was quicker for Serpence to make up his mind.
He'll put the jewels on the palm of my hand
it went
I don't know if it will work in this state, but it would be better to have it on my body.
Yes? Does it work?
The boy made an unfamiliar sound.
'Is it something like a jade plate or a germanium bracelet?'
The jewel, which seemed sacred until a while ago, began to feel like a pseudo fortune teller's crystal ball.
If it hadn't been for the warmth that came through the handkerchief, I would have believed it so.
Oh, oh, it's warm! Is it really a fantasy world? The hand warmer is also fantastic!
It seems that he was worried about Shion's body, which is prone to cold, so he saved these things.
As he was rubbing his cheeks with a handkerchief wrapped around his self-heating jewel in admiration, he put on an expression that he had seen something bizarre.
Didn't you know what it was?
"Since Zion is also a noble, it seems that he has memorized the types of jewels to avoid embarrassment wherever he goes, but nothing comes to mind.
I saw... . A nobleman from the countryside is so expensive and precious luxury that he can't even wake up to death?
Perhaps you thought my answer was overdone, Serpens put his forehead on his forehead and took a deep breath .
"Why did you say blasphemy?"
"Just because it's divinely shiny and pretty?"
"But why , uh uh! Wait a minute, is this really Shinseong-seok?!"
He looks at me and nods his head
it was thanks
...Is it just a fever stone?
No! No! Sorry!
I tried to apologize in haste, but the guy's protruding lips showed no sign of going inside.
That wasn't enough, so I packed my head and turned it away.
'Don't even do that... .'
Unlike manastones that can be generated naturally by combining the magical powers of nature, sacred stones can only be created by humans.
But like an instant magic stone
It's not the kind of thing that can be photographed.
'More than 6 months... . It usually takes about a year?'
The result of condensing divine power with a clear purpose over a long period of time is the sacred stone.
Also, the purpose must be pure and good, and sincerely desire it.
'Otherwise, it will not be created at all, and even if his will is shaken along the way, the sacred stone will break and the divine power contained in it will be broken.
It's all flying away, what's wrong with me... .'
It seems that even a little bit of miscellaneous thoughts during prayer will fade the color and reduce its function.
In other words, it is difficult to make, but it is even more difficult to make it well.
Moreover, as the will is reflected in the process of making, it functions only for that purpose, so it is impossible to block it.
Charging is also impossible without the manufacturer.
'I didn't give it to you in the last kidnapping case.
From the looks of it, it was said that it was being made until recently... .'
And by giving it to me, it means that he prayed for my safety.
You must beg unconditionally. This is all my fault.
Oops, I'm the bad guy!
Wow, I thought it looked divine somehow! Hey, it was a really sacred thing, wasn't it?
I guess it's because Serpense's heart is in it, it's really warm! Holding it like this makes both my body and my heart warm.
I feel like I'm losing!
I am very glad that you liked the function of the stove.
Oh, no! I don't mean that. I'm really sorry! It's all my fault!
The repeated apology seemed to have relieved her a little, and I could feel Serpens staring at me with a squinting glance.
"Do you want me to forgive you?"
Sure!
If you want to be forgiven...
Yes, yes! You say it!!
"Are you barking like a dog?"
"Of course so, yes?"
I don't know what the hell I just heard.
He moved the sacred stone he was holding in both hands with one hand, and covered his ears with his fingers.
"What did you just say? Could you say it again?"
If you want to be forgiven, bark like a dog.
I also purged the other ear, and Serpence said something was wrong with his remarks.
He tilted his head over and over as if there was even a single point.
The sense of disparity grew even greater because of the innocent expression on the face.
'Humanus, you bastard! What the hell did you teach Serpence to make him say things like that?!'
The word "relentless, quiet, quiet," did not come out of nowhere.
Those who approach food will turn black, and those who come close to injections will turn red.
"Is something strange?"
Of course it's weird!
Why? Seonwoo made me cry like a cat.
I guess I was also a red friend to Serpens like Humanus.
Like the pillow I slept on the day I dyed my hair red.
So, I dyed Serpens red.
''That, that... . I did it, but... !
Then what's the matter?
You can't go anywhere and say that! You understand?
I was worried, so I asked him, but he looked down at me with a victor's smile again.
It's clear that you think I'm just taking it out because I'm ashamed to bark like a dog.
So you won't be forgiven?
The King! The King of the Kings!
"Right, right:'
I barked with all my might, and the serpens were loud at the sound of dogs in my soul.
He had a satisfied expression on his face.
I feel like I've finally accomplished what I put on my bucket list. His face was full of pride.
He must have been looking for an opportunity for revenge all along.
