Chapter 62.1 - Purification

The two powers in his body would guide him along the way.

‘I’ll have to talk to Cassion before I go.’

Ruel got out of the carriage thinking hard and he was shocked in an instant by the cold wind rushing over his face.

It was colder than when he crossed the bridge.

He hurriedly put on a cape and a hat.

—Ruel! Ruel! Something white is coming down!

Leo jumped out next to Ruel and opened his mouth to eat the snow falling from the sky.UppTodated from nô/v/e/lb(i)n.c(o)/m

—Unsweetened ice cream!

‘Good timing.’

Ruel looked up at the sky, inhaling Breath.

***

Ruel opened his eyes slightly at the soft touch on his face.

—Look, Ruel! It all tastes like ice cream that’s not sweet! This body is going to eat it all!

“How many times have I told you it’s snow, not unsweetened ice cream...”

Ruel raised his upper body in a hurry.

‘The snow... It’s piled up a lot.’

He stopped as soon as he opened the window.

The snow was piled up almost to the point where you couldn’t see the ground floor because it was submerged due to heavy snow overnight.

“Are you up?”

Cassion opened the door and came inside.

“No matter how curious you are about the snow, your fever hasn’t gone away yet.”

“Did it snow all night?”

“Yes, it poured down all night.”

“Then I can’t move today, can I?”

A suspicious smile grew on Ruel’s face.

Cassion frowned slightly at the smile.

“Yes, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay another day. But why are you so happy?”

“Cassion.”

“Yes, go ahead.”

Cassion replied promptly, but something was disturbing about Ruel’s reaction.

“I have business so I need to go out.”

“No way.”

Ruel pointed his finger at his chest with strength.

“I think I met a friend. It’s humming.”

“Again, you mean that power? What’s that power?”

“If I had known its power, I would have come here from the beginning.”

It was pure coincidence that Ruel became the head of the delegation.

“Are you going to waste it?”

Clearly, that power was helping Ruel.

***

Cassion cared a lot about his outfit to deter Ruel from catching a cold.

After putting on one, two, or three layers of clothes, it was difficult to move his arms. Not to mention, adding on a scarf and a hat.

“Aren’t you cold?” Cassion paused and asked.

“Yeah.”

Leo peeped out his head in Ruel’s arms.

“Cassion is fast. Things keep flying by.”

Cassion was very fast, as if contracting space with his magic.

With each leap, the wind lashed against Ruel but it was not cold because he dressed warmly.

“When I go back to Setiria, if we travel like this, we’ll be there in a day, right?”

“It’ll take more than a day, but if you want it too, let me know.”

It was a joke, but Cassion took it seriously.

“No, thanks.”

Monster. He certainly understood why he was a guild leader today.

His strength played a part, but the mobility to go anywhere, anytime... It was a scam.

His ability exceeded the Cassion described in the novel.

“Are you strong enough to take the king’s head?”

“It’s not that I can’t do it, but it’s outdated, cumbersome, and doesn’t fit the standard of the quests I accept.”

“What’s the standard?”

Cassion grinned at Ruel’s question.

“First of all, I make sure that there are no problems even if he dies. Then, assuming even if the client doesn’t plan to hit me in the back of the head, I only kill the people I think are worth dying. It would be a bit of a hassle.”

“Don’t tell me that’s a hassle... It’s not about the king, is it?”

“When I was younger, I tried to do it when I was drunk.”

Cassion looked at the sky faintly as if he were reminiscing about the past.

‘Crazy guy...’

“That way.”

Ruel pointed his finger in that direction.

He had two powers, so he was able to find them from a farther distance.

Five more minutes?

Cassion opened his mouth when he saw the new terrain.

“There’s a cave ahead.”

“Stop here.”

The power was running wild, saying they were here.

Found it.

Cassion carefully put Ruel on the ground.

After placing Leo in Cassion’s arms, he said.

“I’ll be right back. Wait.”

“I see.”

—Alright.
