[ Episode 375. Negotiation and subsequent relationship]

The underground city of Zakhar was bigger than I thought.



‘It definitely feels different from playing games.’

It might have felt that way because it was a place I hadn’t even visited a few times in the first place.

“Kreurreu.......”

“Kkiing!”

As we entered Zakhar, the prisoners within the city stood up and stood guard over us. Among them, it was evident that some of them had been freed from slavery, and that they tried to cover up the stigma of slavery.

“Are you going to Threndal?”

“Perhaps Lord Threndal is also coming to meet you.”

Crack, who had become quite polite, lowered his head and replied. And Boko, the wild boar who greeted us as if he didn’t like it, made an impression.

“Just be grateful to be able to come into Zakhar.”

“Hey wild boar. Do you want me to bake it for you?”

As Salem said, eyes glistening, Boko’s shoulders shrank. It seemed that Salem had suffered a bit.

“joy! this is jakar Even if you could kill me right here...”

“Stop it, Boko. Are you planning to fight with the guests?”

Craig growled, baring his teeth.

“You’ve become a very human dog, Crack.”

“I’m not ignorant like you, I’m just doing well. Shut up and go back to the entrance and watch it. I will guide them.”

Looking at that figure, it seems like we just didn’t get along well from the beginning?

‘The skills aren’t bad.’

It wasn’t an aura master level, but it wasn’t a skill that would be bowed down anywhere. Perhaps it is similar to one of my early enemies, Payat, an official of the Zefar Church.

......At that time, I managed to catch the enemy using sloth, but before I knew it, I became this much stronger.

“You’ve grown a lot, Adrias.”

Deshurn, who was walking along the street, spoke to me with a hearty smile.

“It has been quite a while. Master is still the same, so my heart is relieved.”

“haha! I’m always healthy, so I think I’ll live a long, long time. The grandchildren will have to go see it.”

“Grandchildren? Did you have any children?”

“hmm? You are my child, what are you talking about? It means going to see your children. haha.”

I didn’t know he thought of me that much...

But he said something quite embarrassing, so I kept my mouth shut without realizing it.

“Anyway, I didn’t expect to meet you here. I’ll sit down and talk about the details, but can you tell me roughly?”

Deshurn’s gaze turned to those who were with me. It wasn’t particularly hostile, but it didn’t look friendly either.

“Do you know what is happening in the Empire?”

“I don’t know the details, but I know that shit happened. Thanks to you, I’m pretty busy these days.”

“The emperor of that empire is my enemy.”

Deshurn, who was walking ahead of me, turned his head and looked at me.

“The emperor...is not normal.”

“Did you know?”

“of course. I was also a Royal Guard knight at one time, so to be precise, I was the leader. haha.”

He knew that Deshurn was a royal knight. But that was a long time ago, a fact that has long been forgotten by people now.

‘I’ve played the game dozens of times, so I memorized it......’

Before anyone knew it, we arrived in front of a building that looked like the owner of this city. And in front of him stood Ulug, the Black Tiger Beastman he had seen before, and the Rat Beastman, who had an eyepatch on one eye.

“It’s been a while, rat.”

Salem waved happily at the blindfolded prisoner. However, the opponent only looked at Salem with an unwilling expression.

“Hey Shrendal. Will you accept my greetings?”

“You are shameless, Salem Yedidiah. My eyes still sting when it rains.”

When I asked why he wore an eyepatch, did Salem do it? I couldn’t even guess because I was so shameless to say hello.

It’s been a long time since Shrendal was more than that.

He was a Xu (鼠) beastman with the appearance of a rat, and he was one of the strongest men who overcame the outstanding beastmen and became the head of Sin.

‘I knew it was as good as 10 people on the continent...’

Again, not all 10 people on the continent had the same skills.

Salem must be especially strong among them.

“What kind of business is this? Seeing that Craig brought it, there must be something there.”

Threndal spoke coldly to Salem.

But Salem didn’t listen and cast a glance at me.

“hmm? Now I see that not only Salem Yedidiah, but monsters have come at once. Are you here to kill us?”

“I have come to make an offer.”

When I opened my mouth, Threndal’s gaze turned to mine.

“who are you.”

Still, since a promise is a promise, he spoke carefully. Then, Luna tilted her head and asked.

“Who are you meeting? Here?”

“yes. I heard that Deshurn-nim, whom I saw earlier, is my teacher, and the child I taught swordsman was with him.”

“I want to see you too! So, your friend is a swordsman master?”

“That’s it.”

“Oh oh!”

Luna looked at me with a bright gaze as if she had seen her again.

“Tell me the sword too!”

“Luna’s efficiency will decrease even if she learns a sword because of her heart’s mana.”

“no! I can use the knight’s mana too!”

Eh? what is this again?

Although Luna sometimes made strange noises, she was a warlock in her own right. There was no way she couldn’t tell the difference between a knight’s mana and a wizard’s mana.

“Since Ouroboros entered my body, I can use it too!”

“Why are you saying that now?”

I thought something must be wrong.

Even though Maxwell or Nivas’ experiment ended up being canceled because of me, it’s true that it went through the middle process.

“I forgot.”

“If you forgot something like that...”

she said, but there was no way she had forgotten. Maybe he didn’t say it for some reason, and now he’s saying it.

“Did you think I would be worried?”

“Yes? Oh, isn’t it...?”

Luna awkwardly looked away.

I couldn’t help but laugh at her behavior, which was so obvious that it was a lie.

“Haha, there’s nothing wrong with your body, right? Is it a side effect?”

“doesn’t exist! Are you sure!”

“Would you mind if I take a look?”

“Huh? Uh huh.......”

Luna hesitated and held out her wrist.

Do you have something more to hide? Anyway, it makes me worry.

Uung-

I carefully poured mana into her body. The very vivid black mana began to ride Luna’s body.

‘This is.......’

I was taken aback at the moment.

I wondered if it was because I could simply use the knight’s mana, but that wasn’t the case.

It’s not like that, it’s like...

‘It’s like me.’

It was similar to me, whose entire body became a mana reservoir thanks to its vessel characteristics. no, it was almost the same.

Even if it was a little unbalanced and not perfect, it was definitely a ‘bowl’.

‘Did it become a vessel to contain the transcendent?’

for a moment.

Does that mean that I too can carry the Transcendental One?

Even I was a vessel with a more perfect shape than Luna.

“A friend?”

“Oh, it’s over. No problem. What a relief.”

Putting everything else aside for now, one thing was certain.

That means that Luna has become a body that can handle a sword like me. In addition, it seemed that he could use the mana in his body freely without distinguishing between the magician’s mana and the knight’s mana.

‘If you just learn swordsmanship, it’s pretty.......’

Luna’s mana amount was similar to mine with original sin. It’s probably because of absorbing Ouroboros.

“You want to learn swordsmanship?”

“huh!”

We can’t just leave such a precious talent.

Even if it wasn’t for that reason, it seemed desirable to learn swordsmanship to protect oneself.

“Since my teacher is here too, let’s try it.”

I won’t be able to learn for a long time because I have a purpose anyway. Still, if you learn a little bit, it will help protect my body.

Above all, she had a good teacher by her side who could teach her swordsmanship every day.

‘Five senses.’

I told you the other day that Luna’s blood relatives lived in the place where the Shaiya Desert used to be.

Since he was in the desert, he thought of calling her too.
