Episode 26. Aside from chicken game
evolution, what are 66 branches?
What the hell happened?
“Yeah. Are you holding on? Aren’t they just plain skeletons?”
“yes?”
“You’re fine even with the Codex Apocalypse.”
One guess was possible from Salem’s words.
Could it be that the sloth page made evolution possible?
I honestly hadn’t even thought about it.
Is nickel okay?
Anyway, when the page of indolence came out, I started to feel the pulse of mana I felt before.
“Give me Let’s take a look.”
“Salem Yedidiah. You are a person who has never been invited. Do not be reckless and reckless.”
I’m black! Jester in a black outfit, who seemed to be expressing it with his whole body, stopped Salem.
He was wearing a black cone-shaped hat that covered his face, so his appearance could not be identified.
Of course I know what’s in there.
“You really think I’m going to run away with sloth? Jester, what do you see me as?”
“This is a meeting. Once you have participated, I will give you a chance, so wait.”
At that moment, I reverse summoned Nickel again.
If I had shown this much, everyone would have known at least that Sloth’s page was real.
When the sloth page suddenly disappeared, the attendees looked at me with bewildered faces.
“What are we going to do?”
“Adrias.”
Jester and Charon uttered a word each.
But I didn’t care and said what I wanted to say.
“I found Sloth’s page. I want to turn over the page of indolence after receiving a fair price.”
“Adrias!”
Charon’s face turned into a bloody slaughter.
wow. This was the first time I knew that Karon could be so angry.
In fact, I was going to hand over the original plan in moderation and just get the beans, but I changed the plan on the fly.
The reason was because of Salem’s presence.
I didn’t expect Salem to participate, and it was an unexpected development that he would help me.
Thanks to that, the intuition that this impromptu plan would work strongly shook my brain.
Contrary to my thoughts, the attendees of the meeting cast their gazes at me with ferocious spirit.
“Caron Diplan. Is your disciple crazy? Or did you partly accept such an idiot as your disciple?”
“sorry.”
Karon didn’t know what to do and lowered his head.
And again I shouted my name and scolded.
There’s no way.
I drew my sword against the momentum that was gradually getting stronger.
“My request is simple. I just want to be compensated for my indolence.”
“Ugh! Ha ha ha ha!”
Salem, who was next to him, burst into laughter.
Then, with a sudden expression, he burst into monster-like momentum.
“Looking at this now, it was just an idiot. Hey Adrias. Are the people gathered here happy?”
“Not at all. But that’s why I’m trying to find my rights even more.”
A storm of mighty force rushed at me, but I didn’t retreat a single step.
And although Salem spoke fearfully, I believed his promise.
After I finished speaking, I slowly raised my sword.
Seeing me raise the sword, Jester used magic.
Two hands of black flame appeared beside him.
“If you want to die like that, I will kill you.”
“You cannot kill me.”
I raised the odds.
Reversing the sword and grabbing the blade, I stabbed myself right through the heart.
Fu-wook!
“What are we going to do?”
“and! Look at that! Look at that! You must be really crazy! Laughing!”
It was obvious that I was embarrassed by the people around me, but I tried to smile as if nothing was wrong.
“Right now, the indolent page is in subspace with my skeleton. problem here. If I die, what will happen to my subspace?”
Using his fighting talent, the sword that missed his heart with a difference of 1mm entered the vicinity of his lungs.
Blood flowed along the blade.
A situation where even the slightest movement can cause death.
I was gambling my life on Salem.
After hearing my words, the assembly members now looked at me with expressions of astonishment.
Even Salem was looking at me with his mouth open.
“There are no normal black magicians, but I think this is the first time I’ve seen such a cold-hearted madman.”
Jester canceled the magic.
“Disciple of Charon. Are you thinking about the next day? Even if you get the reward you want here, do you really think you can return alive?”
“I trust the person next to me.”
When he suddenly mentioned Salem, he was pointed out and laughed as if it was ridiculous.
“Such a cheeky bastard. Now I don’t know anything about indolence. How dare you think of using this body? So, is this an impromptu idea? How could you have thought of this without going crazy?”
“As I said in the carriage, I am just doing everything I can.”
“what? Ha ha ha ha!”
Before coming to the nest, he gave the same answer to his question about why he learned the sword at such a late age.
Of course, you could ask why I was doing this.
But from my point of view, it was more strange not to do it when I could.
Since I have always made the impossible possible, this level of attempt was only natural.
At that moment, something secretly approached me and tried to bind my body.
They were branches from Morshe’s nest.
“Cheup.”
I stabbed the lungs with precision without a moment’s delay.
Of course, I only pricked a little bit, but the effect was great.
Seeing blood pouring from my mouth, Morche stopped the branch.
“You’re poisonous.”
Jester murmured.
And he walked slowly towards me.
“Try it somewhere. I want to see if you really have the courage to die.”
Even as he said so, he could tell that he used other magic.
‘Mental Magic!’
I felt his magic trying to penetrate my brain.
Just 0.1 seconds. In the meantime, I finally made a decision.
Poo-wook.
“Woo-wook.”
Blood poured out of his mouth.
The blood dripping down his chin soaked the floor.
“You’re so crazy.”
Jester canceled his mental magic and hurriedly stepped back.
Did it work?
No, getting through isn’t the important thing right now.
It seemed to stab me more than I thought because I had to show it clearly.
“ha ha ha! Sloth will disappear from the world like this!”
“Shut up, Salem. Luna! Come on, save the author!”
“My heart was stabbed, how am I going to save it? Stop giving up, Jester. Hahaha!”
“Come on, save me!”
fuck. not dead yet
It’s a mess to make someone dead.
“Are you going to make a deal?”
As I spoke, I smiled at the people who gave me tired eyes.
It looks like it stabbed the heart, but it stabbed the lungs.
Of course, it was a dizzying moment when he was sure to die if he pulled out the stuck sword without any action.
“Crazy bastard. Is it not the heart?”
Salem said with an absurd smile.
“Anyway, nice to have you come. To find a guy who’s much more fun than sloths. Just this time, I’ll match you with your petty games.”
He soon stopped in front of me and finally spoke the words I had been waiting for.
“I made an appointment with Adrias Cromwell here. To help out once in a while. I didn’t expect to use it already, but I’ll tell you first. From now on, anyone who tries to harm Adrias Cromwell, I will surely find and kill him. In addition, if Adrias Cromwell dies afterwards, I will consider the culprit to be a member of the assembly and erase the assembly from the world.”
Salem Yedidiah. Even though he is nicknamed the devil, he was a famous person who never skipped a promise he made.
In addition, the last words he uttered prevented the assembly from targeting me in advance.
Rather, the meeting fell into the irony of having to protect me.
Of course, as the rally is a group, Salem could not win if it launched an all-out war.
But will Salem really fight back?
From the standpoint of the assembly, you cannot ignore the words of Salem, one of the rarest and strongest players on the continent.
it’s checkmate
“Are you going to make a deal?”
Even as I was bleeding, I let out a victor’s smile.
The gaze of those who saw me seemed quite bizarre.
“We lost. Let’s make a deal.”
Eventually, Jester raised the white flag.
I let out a sigh of relief and slowly took out the regeneration and recovery potions I had stored in my arms and drank them.
The puncture site tickled and caused pain.
Seeing this, Salem shook his head.
“Are you really Kane’s son? It’s so different, so different.”
I asked the name of my father who suddenly appeared.
“Do you know your father?”
“of course. don’t know.”
I wanted to ask about the Cromwells and my father, but for now I focused on slowly drawing my sword.
Thanks to the potion, the recovery of the wound was fast, but it didn’t heal instantly, so I had to concentrate on pulling out the sword while sweating.
After grunting for a long time, I pulled out the sword and looked at Jester as I put it back into the scabbard.
“Thank you for waiting. Shall we talk now?”
“It really leaves me speechless. So what do you want?”
In fact, I didn’t know exactly what the meeting had.
Of course, I was aware of some of the items that were dropped when I robbed gatherings while playing the game.
My goal was one of them, but I couldn’t say it first.
The moment I speak, it will be revealed that I have information, and it will raise suspicion.
Then something unexpected happened.
“Adrias, I’m in the deal too.”
“Salem Yedidiah, this is a deal between the assemblies.”
“Don’t say such sad things. If anyone wants to be lazy, they can intervene. After all, isn’t that the seller’s heart?”
“We have already conceded once. I listened to you because you told me not to harm Adrias!”
“What are you talking about. That’s because he backed down because he feared that Adrias would die and sloth would go away. You have to make sure of the precedence.”
“Salem!”
“What man. If you have any complaints, join us.”
Salem spewed mana menacingly.
Seeing this, Jester looked around, but the rest of the assembly attendees just watched with interest.
In this way, the reality of the assembly can be seen to some extent, but since it is a gathering of black magicians, they put more emphasis on individual gains than stickiness as members.
In the end, Jester had no choice but to retreat without anyone’s help.
“Poor things. After all, you are also members of the assembly. Do you know what it means to not bring in sloth and just watch it?”
“I don’t know?”
Luna said without notice.
The rest of the staff were just silent, not answering.
Jester sighed.
“How do you deal? Are you going to do it with money?”
“I want to do it by barter.”
Of course money is good too.
As a poor me, money is also quite appealing, but the things I can get here are things that I can’t even get with money.
‘I was able to solve the magic problem to some extent just by bringing that.’
The meeting had rare combination materials, so I was aiming for them.
And I was looking forward to what Salem would present.
Due to her wandering nature, there was a high probability that she would have something that even I had never seen before.
“It’s barter…That would be fun.”
Salem said with a smile.
