Episode 1110. I didn’t learn it, I absorbed it.
While Shamos went to catch Bloody Carib, Elio and Fabian approached Fade Lake.
I feel like my body is relaxed just by the warm air.
Elio said, putting his hand into the lake and waving it around.
“It is not hot. I don’t know if I can drink it.”
“Do you want to drink the water in which monsters and monsters bathed?”
“It is not a bath. I’ll ask when Shamos comes later. Is it drinkable water? Don’t you feel like drinking it will make your inner sickness better?”
“I don’t. There is a difference between being helpful for treatment and being able to drink it.”
“It may or may not be. By the way, is it the perfect temperature for a bath? I’m going to take a dip too.”
Elio entered the hot springs with the horse.
“iced coffee! warm. Are you feeling relaxed? Fabian, come in too. You haven’t taken a bath in a while, have you?”
“It’s been a few days. I washed it at Hirhera’s inn. Do you think all nobles are like the Viscount?”
“Oh is that so? He probably didn’t go to the inn to take a bath.”
“I went to take a bath. There are no bathing facilities in the camp, so there are many nobles who go to inns to take a bath. Don’t think it’s weird.”
“Good luck then. I was wondering if you were going about something else, leaving Sarah behind.”
“I knew that would come out. I went with Sarah.”
“Ooh! it must be You’re not even married, but are you still saying that you went to an inn together?”
“How many times can I tell you that I went to take a bath?”
While Elio and Fabian were spending time together, Shamos brought three Bloody Caribs.
Perhaps because it was in front of the demon lord, Bloody Carib acted like a gentle sheep.
Shamos climbed onto the Bloody Caribe and held the two horns that stretched back as if pruning them with both hands.
“Get on and hold on tight here. Apply force in the desired direction and it will go there. When it stops, just pull it up like breaking its horn.”
Along with the horse, Shamos grabbed the monster’s horn and shook it around as if playing with a toy.
His head was spinning, but – a high-ranking monster that would attack you even if you just met eyes from a distance – Bloody Carib didn’t have a seizure.
After Shamos’ explanation, Elio walked out of the hot spring.
The moment Fabian was about to nag him while watching him dripping with water, Elio sprung up and dried his body and clothes for an instant.
“uh? Is that magic?”
Then Shamos said with a pitiful face.
“You have released a spirit. You say you’re a human champion, but don’t you recognize that?”
“Ah…”
Fabian had many questions, but he kept his mouth shut because the demon lord noticed.
‘shit. What about the champion… I’ll have to ask the viscount later.’
Before long, Elio and Fabian also boarded the Bloody Caribe.
The size of Bloody Carib is so large that the two of them look dainty.
Shamos held back a laugh and started running in the lead.
As Shamos ran, the Bloody Caribs carrying Elio and Fabian diligently followed him without anyone telling them to.
Du-du-du-du-!
Bloody Carib ran like the wind.
Fabian held on to his horns tenaciously so as not to fall from the monster’s tremendous speed.
It wasn’t just the strength of the hand.
In order not to fall, I desperately clung to Bloody Carib’s torso using both thighs and calves.
Like a high-ranking monster, Bloody Carib ran nonstop until the sun went down.
I thought the sunset was going down, but soon the surroundings became dark.
The moment an exhausted Fabian tried to plead for rest, Shamoth stopped.
Before long, Shamos and Elio lightly landed on the ground.
Unlike the two of them, Fabian, who struggled down the hill with trembling limbs like an 80-year-old man, collapsed into the cold snowy field.
“Wow! I was just sitting there, why am I having such a hard time?”
Of course, that’s just talk.
It happened because I used a dragon to avoid falling from Bloody Caribe.
Shamos approached the limp Fabian.
“Human Champion. Apart from me, the lord, protecting you, you, the champion, must serve the lords. Prepare dinner.”
“…”
At Shamos’s instruction, Fabian looked at Elio with a puzzled face, but Elio went one step further.
“What is Fabian dinner?”
“Suddenly, what’s for dinner? Didn’t you say something like that?”
“That is common sense. Even if they are put into rift surveillance, they prepare food for three days. Did you try to go around Tameion while starving?”
“It’s not like that, but… but…”
Words are ‘ah’ different and ‘uh’ different.
There was a difference between ‘finding and eating food together’ and ‘preparing unilaterally alone’.
“So what’s for dinner?”
“What is it? I need to eat an energy ball. There is no restaurant and there are no animals to hunt nearby, so there is something to eat!”
When Fabian spoke as if protesting, Elio nodded calmly.
“It is. Let’s eat energy balls. I knew this would happen and I brought plenty of it. Did you bring too many?”
Elio took out an energy ball from the space warehouse Mahadam and took a bite.
Fabian quickly let go of his anger and took out an energy ball from within.
“I also swept out what came out this morning.”
Elio, who was eating energy balls, looked up at Shamos.
“If you have something to eat, take it out, and if you don’t have something to eat, should I give you one? I don’t know if it will suit your taste.”
Shamos, who was standing there with a puzzled face, approached Elio.
“I will try it.”
She decided to try – human food, like livestock – to get acquainted with Lord Helio Lagoa.
However, unlike the mind, the reality was not easy.
The chestnut-sized energy ball was too small for the 3-meter-tall Shamos.
Shamos puts the energy ball in his mouth, but doesn’t feel anything.
She would rather be happy.
To her, as a demon, human food was like livestock feed.
“I will solve it separately.”
Shamos hurriedly left to catch the Witchbeast before it got darker.
When Shammoth left, Fabian lit the fire stone he was carrying.
Fire-!
A piece of stone the size of a finger radiated hot heat.
“Did the Viscount take some Fire Stones?”
“of course. When did you see me move unprepared?”
At those words, Fabian nodded calmly.
It reminded me of how Viscount Elio Lagoa took extra care when living together in the barracks of the second lieutenants.
The reason why the leftover energy balls were in short supply was because he scraped them together every time he ate.
“The Viscount’s subspace warehouse. There is no passage of time there, right?”
“okay? Somehow, the energy balls didn’t rot.”
“Did you sweep it up like that without even knowing it?”
“What are you sweeping? I took it because it was a waste to throw away something no one took.”
“At first, there were too many of them, but since the viscount took care of them, the lack of them caused a stir.”
“Let’s not exaggerate. I mean, it fits just right.”
“Have other companies ever come to beg for energy balls?”
“Yeah, it was because our company members also packed energy balls. You can say it as if I had swept it all away.”
“Didn’t all the members of the company follow the viscount?”
“so? You don’t need energy balls or fire stones anymore, right?”
“no. I admired the Viscount’s foresight foresight. I will only trust the viscount’s subspace warehouse. You also packed plenty of fire stones, right?”
“I got a lot from the 7th Division of the Empire. The empire has a surplus of supplies.”
“Because he is the actual owner of the continent.”
“Tell me when you run out of the fire stones you brought.”
“But you may not need the Fire Stone later.”
“why?”
“The farther away from the ice wall, the colder it seems. If you look around, aren’t they a bit different from the trees in the Ice Forest?”
At those words, Elio looked closely at the nearby tree.
indeed! Like Fabian said, rather than being frozen, it feels like flying in winter.
“Do it. Because Enarche wasn’t cold either. Do you think the temperature will rise as Tameyon rises?”
“It must be because Tamion is wider than Rodina’s continent.”
As the two discuss the climate of Tamion, Shamoth returns.
Elio asked Shamos.
“How is the temperature in Kodiak? Is it as cold as near the ice wall?”
“no. In terms of four seasons, Kodiak is spring all year round. So Moloch seldom left Kodiak.”
“iced coffee! Then there will be no need to use the Fire Stone in Kodiak, right?”
“It will be cold until tomorrow and after that it will be bearable. But the monarch won’t get cold, so why do you ask that?”
“As you can see, my champion is a bit weak. Without the Fire Stone, it will freeze to death.”
“Are all human champions that weak?”
“Human beings select champions not by strength, but by emotion.”
“Why? Then you won’t be able to keep it alive for a long time.”
“It’s fair if only one person is chosen, but all humans will vote for their champion.”
It’s because it’s all in vain with nothing to do here and there.
“What does that mean?”
Shamos tilted his head.
How long does the group last if an unqualified person becomes a monarch?
“It means nothing. They just live their lives the way they like.”
“It’s like cattle, after all.”
“But why did you learn to speak cattle? Even champions know how to speak the common language of the continent.”
“I didn’t learn it, I absorbed it.”
“absorption?”
“There are times when human warlocks succeed in summoning demons once in a while. In return, he offered his soul, and it came naturally at that time.”
“You learned how to speak the common language of the continent in the process of absorbing the soul of a warlock?”
“yes. It is said that the highest wish of black magicians is to summon demons. Because you grant their little wishes and take their souls in return. The demons have nothing to lose.”
“What kind of wish is it that you offer up your soul?”
“Most of them are revenge. It’s like asking to repay what was done to the high-ranking nobles. There are people who ask me to teach them magic… but they don’t know the reality.”
“Can’t you teach me magic?”
“There are no lies in summoning. I teach you, but the warlock dies in return. Intellectual curiosity will be satisfied for a moment, but that’s it. It ends with the Demons playing with the black magician’s body and causing a commotion.”
Fabian gave a supplementary explanation.
“When the warlocks go wild, the estate turns upside down. That’s why warlocks kill him as soon as they find him, whether he’s a trader or not. The end of black magic is summoning.”
Elio murmured with a stunned face.
“Why learn black magic when you know how it ends?”
“Did you just hear that? To raise the level of revenge or magic. Mages are famous for their curiosity. Giving your life for it is nothing.”
Elio, who shook his head excitedly, turned his gaze to Shamos.
“Do high-ranking demons know how to speak all of the common languages of the continent?”
“Not everything. Black magicians are less active now, but there was a time when black magic flourished about a thousand years ago.”
Fabian covered up.
“People call that time the Dark Ages.”
“At that time, quite a few demons experienced summoning. We do not know the exact number because it is not known who they are.”
“Doesn’t there seem to be a lot of exchanges among demons?”
“Asmodians rarely leave their territory.”
“Right.”
A bitter smile appeared on Elio’s face.
It felt strange to be able to communicate only with demons who stole human souls.
