Episode 126
The Citizens’ Revolutionary Corps succeeded in the revolution.
Now, the Civil Revolutionary Corps began to rule all Hellaim cities under the name of ‘Freedom Alliance’ instead of the Civil Revolutionary Corps.
The House of Hellaim is being used as the headquarters of the Freedom Association.
When Vincen entered the gate of the Freedom Association, a girl waved and greeted Vincen.
“Vinchen Confucius!”
Hamona, who initially tried to trick Vinchen into stealing the ‘blue jewel’, now became one of Laurent’s aides and was in charge of guiding him.
Her expression brightened even more.
She ran out after a month and grabbed Vinchen’s hand.
Vincent said.
“You look fine.”
The identity of old man Barom, whom he believed and followed like his father, is already known.
Harmona must have been quite shocked as well.
“Time is short.”
Harmona was silent.
Vincen didn’t ask any more questions.
“Captain Laurent. From here, I will guide Confucius Vincenzo.”
“Please, Harmona.”
Laurent moved away.
Hamona took Vincennes to the cellar of the House of Helaim.
“Not many people know about this place yet.”
Helaim’s cellar.
The person who guided me there was Yurina, a former member of the Dragon Blade.
“I waited for Prince Vincen to come. I was very grateful for my work in the Highland Conquest War. Now I can officially say thank you.”
There was a subtle liking in Yurina’s eyes as she looked at Vincen.
“I just did what I had to do.”
Hamona and Yurina couldn’t take their eyes off Vinchen.
Both looked at Vincen with similar eyes.
-Hyung, but have you ever been in a relationship before?
‘Muhak was everything to me.’
-Yes, yes.
‘What do you mean?’
– Nothing.
Yurina looked at Vincen with eyes full of good feelings and then opened her mouth.
“Even within the Hellaim family, there is an ‘underground’. This is a special place connected in the same way as Dersona’s ‘underground’, and seems to be the place where the treasures of Hellaim are stored. It wasn’t too long ago that we discovered it.”
Her tone was soft.
It was a world wide difference from the image of the dragon sword crew shown in the highland occupation war.
Harmona bowed.
“Sorry, but my guide ends here. After that, it’s Yurina’s domain.”
Former Civil Revolutionary Corps.
The current free association said that it clearly divided the territory and authority in order not to corrupt.
After that, Yurina decided to guide them.
“Confucius Vincenzo. Can you give me some time to get in and out of the treasure house?”
“What is your business?”
“Can I ask you out on a date?”
He pretended to be indifferent, but Hamona’s cheeks were slightly red.
Vinchen sought advice from the best strategist he knew.
‘What should I answer?’
-Where is right and wrong? I just do what my brother wants.
‘Isn’t Harmona still a child?’
-You’re older than my older brother.
‘Ah, that’s right.’
This is where the separation between the body and the mind occurred.
Through Daven’s eyes, Harmona was just a little girl.
I never had this situation in mind because I didn’t see her as a woman at all.
“It was a meaningless joke.”
“okay.”
Looking at his expression, it didn’t look like a joke, but Vinchen didn’t bother pointing out that fact.
I had no intention of showing any clumsy favors.
“I plan to focus only on martial arts for the time being.”
“I know, I thought so.”
Yurina’s face darkened a bit at the conversation between the two.
It was because Yurina had secret expectations and feelings for Vinchen.
I never confessed, but I felt like I was dumped.
Vinchen noticed the strange air current with a sense of a military man.
‘It’s an unexpected problem.’
Currently, most of the women who have their eyes on Vincen are (?) girls in their mid-teens.
In Vinchen’s eyes, they were children.
Even though her current body was that of a 14-year-old, she did not look like a woman at all in Vinchen’s eyes.
It seemed like an issue that would take some time.
said Yurina.
“Get up here on top of the movement gateway. I will go to the treasure house.”
Yurina and Vinchen stood on top of the moving gateway.
Hamona stared blankly at her back.
‘It was my car.’
Still, I felt good.
‘Princess Vincenza seems like a really nice person.’
For some reason, there was an adult-like corner.
I thought it would be nice if someone came into contact with me later on, someone like Vinchen.
In the meantime, the movement gateway was activated and the figures of Vinchen and Yurina disappeared.
* * *
Hellaim’s treasure house.
“This is the first room. It was probably used to hide the second room.”
There were no flashing gold or silver treasures there.
All kinds of things that are not managed at all and are scattered around.
old books.
Two chairs left unattended.
Heaps of junk piled up on top of it.
There were stacks of paperwork.
“When you move to the second room, there are many expensive jewels hidden. Sir Laurent is said to be struggling with the treatment of jewels. Anyway… would you like to move to the second room?”
“Can I look around for a minute?”
I looked at the rusty armor and sword.
They were smelted in the old way.
It may be crude and ugly by today’s standards, but they were also objects that stimulate Vincen’s nostalgia.
‘I’d be happy if I gave those old books to Selvira.’
Suddenly, I saw a picture hanging randomly on the wall.
It was a picture of two people sitting side by side on a chair.
They were a pair of men and women.
Yulian recognized them with a sharp eye.
-One is the appearance of Ethenia, the first head of Hellaim, and the other is the appearance of the dragon king, Abeltan.
I had read something related to this in a book related to Abeltan.
It was said that the first family of Helaim and Abeltan were friends.
-Wait a minute bro.
Julian found a clue in the painting in a short time.
– Ring of Abeltan. See? It’s the same shape as the one you got.
‘see.’
A ring now split in half.
The finished form was drawn in the picture.
However, in the middle of the ring worn by the Dragon King in the picture, there was a blue jewel embedded in it.
It was so small that you couldn’t spot it unless you looked closely.
Vincenzo moved closer and studied the painting for a long time.
-If you look closely, you can see the special shape of the wave pattern. that jewel. Where have you seen it a lot?
It was the ‘blue jewel’ that Vincen already possessed.
The one Vinchen had was much larger in size, but of the same type anyway.
-Hellaim’s head of household is also wearing the same ring. Maybe a pair of rings. Take out your brother’s ring.
The ring has the property of emitting light when special conditions are met.
just as expected.
The ‘Ring of the Dragon King’ was emitting a brilliant light.
It was a different light than before.
-There must be another pair of rings hidden here.
Julian pointed out a fact.
-That chair. It’s the same as the chair in the picture.
‘no. Not quite the same.’
The chair left here was a wooden chair that can be found anywhere.
In the painting, there was a wave-patterned crack in the middle of the chair Ethenia was sitting on.
-It’s strange that the chair of the founder of Hellaim has cracks like that. It’s a wavy crack. It’s even weirder.
Vinchen walked in front of the chair he had seen earlier.
‘Which of these two chairs is Ethenia’s chair?’
-Left.
Ethenia’s body was smaller than Abeltan’s.
The chair must have been made accordingly, so the smaller one was Ethenia’s chair.
“I will choose this chair.”
“…yes?”
Yurina did not understand Vinchen’s choice.
“I heard there are expensive jewels in the second room?”
“I think you can get something more expensive than that.”
Vinchen shrugged.
“If it is not spiritual, may I take two things from here?”
“wait a minute.”
Yurina contacted Laurent and eventually received an answer that it was okay to do so.
Vinchen chose old old books.
“I will choose these and that chair.”
“I don’t understand, but… I get it.”
Vinchen put chairs and old books in subspace.
At that time, Laurent came to visit.
“If this was going to happen anyway, I should have guided you from the beginning.”
Laurent told Vinchen to take something he wanted from the second room as well.
Unable to overcome Vincen’s Laurent’s earnest request (?), he entered the second room.
As expected of Hellaim’s treasure house, there were many shining jewels.
‘The reason why Hellaim was able to accumulate so much wealth must have been because it was a backwater in the outcast camp.’
said Laurent.
“Please. Bring me one of the expensive ones.”
“…Is that a request, Uncle?”
“okay. Wouldn’t that make my side stand up?”
“Then…”
Vincen looked around.
I don’t know much about jewelry anyway, so I just picked a pretty one with a red glow.
Unusually, it looked like there were a lot of air bubbles inside the jewel.
“I will do this.”
“Thank you very much for choosing me.”
“…you’re welcome.”
There was a rare scene where the person who handed over the jewelry said thank you.
The two said goodbye.
“We, the Freedom Association, will never forget your service.”
“Even too much praise can be poisonous, Uncle.”
“We will honor the spirit of the revolutionary corps and erect a public monument with respect to those who have greatly helped the revolutionary corps, including you, so please look for it later when the time comes. It will be a great encouragement to future Free Associate Cities.”
“All right.”
Vinchen had no other thoughts, but Wilson’s nostrils widened behind him.
My breath came out and my heart pounded.
To have your name engraved on public monuments?
“Are the names of the attendants who served Confucius Vincen, by any chance, engraved? No, I didn’t do anything, but I worked hard next to Gongja-nim, ironed his uniform, provided water, and…” ”
Of course. I will engrave your names and the publican’s names together and remember them.”
“Hehehe, I’m just a fool who has done nothing.”
I tried to be humble, but an uncontrollable happiness leaked out.
Seeing this, Seri’s face blushed for no reason.
Wilson was now the most confident valet in the world.
“Gongja. I will take the lead and guide you. ha ha ha! I even got the bath water in advance!”
His stride was about 1.5 times wider than usual.
Vinchen returned to the lodgings after being guided by an excited Wilson.
After dinner, he said.
“Wilson, send these books to Selvira and return. These are important things, so pay special attention to them.”
“Of course I do. Confucius’ servant Wilson! I will serve you!”
Wilson, still excited, accepted the old books.
Vincen came up to his room and took out the chair he had stored in the subspace.
It was full of dust.
‘Is Julian’s location right here?’
Julian perfectly remembered the appearance of the chair in the painting.
He adjusted the location based on his exact memory.
-Just 1 cm to the left from there. yes yes. There. It starts there.
said to Seri.
“Seri. help me like last time I will draw out the power of the Dragon King.”
“all right.”
Just as Vinchen grew up, so did the tax collector.
It was thanks to the absorption of Nymer’s teachings.
At her call, a small fairy made of water droplets appeared.
It was a water spirit and its name was Bell.
“I beg of you, bell. Help Confucius!”
With the help of the publican, Vinchen gained momentum.
What Vinchen used was the ‘small tidal wave’ attribute.
‘Cut the chair with the dragon king’s power.’
Raising the tidal wave trait, he slashed a chair.
The same cracks as in the picture appeared.
Brilliant light was leaking from the cracks.
