Chapter 223

Chapter 39. I endured a lot (4)

A sudden, unforeseen event.

Bern’s life was like that, and Bern’s death was like that. That was how life began as a Kalyan, and even now, everything comes suddenly and without warning.

In fact, it might be different for anyone else in the world, but Kalian was confident. I was suddenly invited to an unexpected life that could not be compared to anyone else, and everything about my life was sudden.

So wouldn’t it be okay to suddenly call someone out once in a while? Even if you dare to find it on your own at least once, wouldn’t you come and pretend you can’t win? That’s what I thought. It was a vague and unfounded belief in the thoughtful Sispanian.

But this time too, it was Kalian who laughed at the sudden result.

“It’s always up to me to be surprised.”

When the common door opened and Kalian saw an unfamiliar shadow inside the now completely familiar interior, he said this without realizing it.

There was no answer back.

Since he was waiting for an answer and didn’t say anything, Calian first bowed his head to show respect.

“I meet the most great Sispanian.”

It was aimed at a black cat sitting gracefully on the axis of time that no one can still approach.

Perhaps because I had already experienced a similar experience once, although it looked different, the feeling of greeting a cat without any sense of life was not that unfamiliar to me.

The cat, whose entire body seemed to be sparkling with black light, looked at Calian with its red eyes that seemed to have been carved from the most beautiful rubies in the land. Calian’s mouth drew a long line as he looked into those eyes.

‘It’s a cat.’

I knew the meaning of the black butterfly, but this time, why is it a cat?

I couldn’t figure out why.

Therefore, Calian stood still for a moment, looking at the haughty black cat, whose color, behavior, and mood were completely different from Lucy, who would come closer and crouch at people’s feet whenever she saw a person.

I couldn’t estimate it.

The black butterfly meant death, but the black cat meant nothing.

I knew that Alan often referred to Calian as a black cat with red eyes. However, it was just a nickname given by Alan when he recognized Calian with his hidden claws, and it had no other significant meaning.

“I was wondering if this would also be welcomed.”

Sispanian, who seemed to understand Calian’s intentions, gave a quiet answer. It was a sound that was difficult to tell from which direction it was coming from.

“I’m not sure what the black cat means.”

Calian asked again, wondering if there was another meaning that could only be conveyed to Kairis.

The cat blinked its big eyes once slowly.

An answer was once again heard from an unknown direction.

“As you know.”

Calian slowly blinked his red eyes, following the cat.

As we know, the black cat had no particular meaning. So, I was wondering whether I would welcome the sight of a meaningless black cat the same way I did the day I saw the black butterfly.

“...... ah.”

Calian, who needed a moment to interpret it, looked for someone without saying a word.

......First King Hatsuara.

Of course, I came first.

I came here first because I had something to ask, but I am regretting meeting you.

I can understand everything my brother says, but I can’t get used to Sispanian’s rambling speaking style.

So, Hatsuara.

Is it true that you had a conversation while fully understanding what that person was saying? Did you two have a proper conversation before that?

If you can stop by, please give me an honest answer. I feel like I’m going through a bit of a similar struggle as you. Because of the short speech gene that seems to be more powerful than blessings.

“I came here, so how could I not be happy?”

Of course, I couldn’t express my long complaint against Hatsuara in words, so a very normal answer came out of my mouth.

Could it be that the ancient dragon misses someone who can welcome him no matter what he looks like? Isn’t it because there is no one person who would welcome me no matter what I look like, so I come to you in this strange appearance and ask questions that are difficult to understand? This thought that suddenly occurred to me was also put aside.

If Calian’s thoughts were correct, he thought it would be too harsh.

The one who curses forgetfulness has found the one who is cursing not being forgotten.

“furthermore.”

Soon, Calian added one word, organizing the thoughts that were not going away and pushing them away.

“No matter what form you take, your essence is the same. To me, which form is different?”

Whether it is a black butterfly, a black cat, a black dragon that we have not seen yet, or the image of a woman that we have always seen. It’s all Sispanian, but I can’t tell whether it’s meaningful or not and whether it’s welcome or not...

Ah.

I finally understood.

Calian, who finally understood Sispanian’s meaning thanks to the thoughts that bloomed again, slightly lowered his head.

“thank you.”

Sispanian.

“There’s nothing to do.”

At those words, Arsene looked out the window.

The sun hasn’t even set yet.

I’ve done my job, so I’m going.

Wizard, you either work overtime or not.

Arsene tried to shake off the feeling that these words were being heard, and quickly opened his mouth.

“I am asking where the vice commander, the prince, is going.”

Plantz, who would normally have answered the question on his own, turned his head and looked at Arsene.

Plantz’s mouth opened as he looked down at Arsene with the same eyes he would give to a living being that he did not want to give more meaning to than just breathing in the same space.

“To get my little brother.”

After covering Arsene’s mouth with words he would never hear in his life, Planz walked out of the office at a leisurely pace.

* * *

The rain has stopped.

It’s amazing.

I wonder if Sispanians also hate rain, so they try to stop the rain every time they come here. After thinking about such worthless thoughts for a moment, Calian chuckled and came out from the basement of Heysia Palace.

There was one that looked like dried, unripe tomatoes.

It’s obvious why you came. Therefore, Calian, who was silently staring at the top of the head, which still looked green and fresh, quietly opened his mouth.

“No accidents happen.”

Plantz, who heard the words without even bothering to hide his tone of being annoyed, looked at Calian blankly without another answer. He’s a guy who can’t lie, so he either really didn’t intend to cause an accident, or he didn’t think it was an ‘accident’. Isn’t it one of the two?

“What.”

“If you know, you’re going to disturb me again.”

“My brother is doing things he can’t handle.”

He doesn’t say anything. If you endure it, it will be obvious what he will say.

Unless you untie the chain on your heart, how can you beat that green guy in an argument?

Therefore, Calian opened his mouth with a short sigh.

“Isn’t what the King of Secretia wants a healer? I am also calling him in the name of calling a healer, but what he wants anyway is to cure the disease.”

Looking at the long limbs, Plantz thought that he was definitely planning on causing an accident, so his face hardened. It was obvious what was revealed in that expression, so Calian continued speaking without stopping.

“Anyway, I think I need to have at least one advantage to prevent King Secretia from doing anything else even if he tempts the elves. So I went to see Sispanian. I want him to tell me where the ‘mother tree’ of the elves is.”

Then Sispanian laughed.

Kalian, who said this, laughed brightly.

“What are you going to do when you go there?”

“I am using what I learned from the King of Secretia. Negotiations have passed, so the next step is.”

Then Sispanian started cursing me.

Calian added once more, this time smiling brightly.

The corners of Planz’s eyes narrowed.

I knew full well that he would be so excited to finally get the answer he wanted from Sispanian to find out where the mother tree of the elves was.

“What are you planning to do when you visit the guardian spirit of the elves?”

Kalian, who was properly carrying out his role as the ‘crazy younger brother’ in the crazy sibling relationship, turned towards Plants, who was looking at him with distrustful eyes and asking, and calmly answered.

If negotiation is not possible, then go next.

“Wood generally burns easily.”

Planz closed his eyes for a moment and opened them.

I immediately knew what Calian was thinking.

The crazy guy is planning to use that blue wizard again.

If negotiation doesn’t seem possible, then.

Threat.

It must have been an attempt to threaten the elves.

It was clear that he had planned to use the Mother Tree as a hostage to send well-packaged Lucy poop to the King of Secretia.

“iced coffee.”

Plantz, who had figured out Calian’s plan, grinned and made a sound of understanding. Unbelievably, it meant that he had no intention of stopping this time.

The rainy sky burned red.

Planz glanced at it and opened his mouth as he looked into Calian’s equally red eyes.

“It’ll be a good ride.”

LeMaine, who has crazy, unruly sons, either hold back or not.
