Chapter 373. Difficulties must be broken to get the best taste (1)
“Bibeon!”
A refreshing roar announcing the morning of the Countess of Frontera!
With the cry of Vibeongi, the round sun rose over the eastern mountains.
The sunlight illuminated the Count’s mansion.
I knocked on the window of the guest quarters.
However, only one window in any room could not be penetrated.
It was because the blackout curtains were drawn with the momentum that would not allow even a gap of 1 micrometer.
And beyond that blackout curtain.
Dragon King Berkis was trying communication magic this morning as well.
“Please take it, please.”
Turrrrrr!
“Hmm.”
Turrrr!
“Hmm.”
Thurr!
“Tsk. Is today a failure?”
Dragon King Berkis ate his sore mouth.
I could feel it through the flow of magic power.
The communication magic is clearly working correctly.
Why is there still no communication connection?
There was no other.
‘It’s been chewed again. Contact me.’
My wife’s pouting seemed to last longer than expected.
Thanks to that, Verkis was feeling a surge of nervousness these days.
‘I can’t do this. What do we do. I’d rather go and beg.’
It had been quite some time since he had emptied the Demon Dragon Cave and returned to Frontera territory.
That meant that the end of his wife’s trip was approaching.
‘Are you trying to keep in touch like this until the kid returns from his trip? Then it’s a big deal. It means to come back as it was. Then what should I do? I don’t like getting ripped off again. It’s sad to live on bare rice and radish side dishes.’
The more I thought about it, the bigger the deal.
To think that his wife, who has returned after a long time, is in a state of sulking.
I never wanted to face such a catastrophe.
So it was.
He activated the communication magic again even though he was unusually out of touch.
“Please take it, huh?”
Turururu!
“Did I do something wrong? So some.”
Tururu!
“So, I’m waking up every morning like this, right? What a great thing this is. yes? So can you please contact me? huh?”
Tooruru- Dalkak!
“Yes, Mr. West?”
“No, as long as you accept the call, I will wash the dishes in the future….”
“Did you say the West is doing it?”
“…uh?”
“West?”
“….”
Berkis paused for a moment.
…After hitting him, he suddenly came to his senses.
So this communication magic is connected!
“kid? are you okay?”
“Your girl is still there.”
“You didn’t get hurt somewhere, went hungry, got bitten by a mosquito, stubbed your toe on the threshold, made a fuss about picking your finger off, pricked a pimple, cried secretly because you missed me, or something like that, didn’t you?”
“Yes, West. You don’t have to worry about the girl.”
“okay? thank god.”
Whoa.
Berkis rubbed his chest.
but the next moment.
The question came as if a morning star with a mass of 1 trillion tons was hitting the chest.
“By the way, Mr. West over there? When the girl got the call just now, did the West say that he would do all the dishes in the future?”
“Yeah, you heard that wrong.”
“yes?”
“I encouraged you to do your best to wash the dishes.”
“Hum.”
“It’s true.”
“Huh.”
“It really is.”
“I definitely heard the girl Seobang-nim say that with her two ears.”
“….”
Berkis kept his mouth shut.
The wife’s voice, which was terrifying because it was straight, continued to support.
“Girl, even though I haven’t learned anything, I haven’t forgotten the words of the old sages. By any chance, does Seobang-nim remember the saying, ‘No one in South Korea is allowed to speak in heaven’?”
“…uh sure?”
“You are really great. Daejeo Nam Il-eon Jungcheongeum means that the words of the company leader are more precious and more important than a thousand gold. So, it means that all men should not break the word of mouth.”
“How do you know?”
“Do you remember?”
“of course. So in the past, you said the same thing and made someone wear flowers in his hair for the rest of his life, right?”
“Yes, it was Sir Michael.”
“yes. Progenitor of the Magentano royal family. look at it Do you remember me too?”
“yes. You are also a westerner. The girl believed.”
“hmm? Did you believe it?”
“From the day the girl returns to the West, please keep doing the dishes.”
“….”
Damn.
Verkis felt like being sentenced to death.
But it was already too late to turn back.
He asked, shaking off the teardrops that conditioned reflexively form in the corners of his eyes.
“Then when will you little ones come back?”
“Eh, anyway, I was contacted to tell the West about it.”
“What’s going on?”
“It is not….”
“then?”
“My mother really likes the trip.”
“hmm?”
“Not just my mother, but the ladies and Iris are all alike.”
“So, the old woman and the flowers…No, Flores and my daughter are all enjoying this trip?”
“yes. So I’m going to ask the West how it would be to travel for one more year and then go back.”
“Mmm.”
“West?”
“…Tsk. I miss you and feel sad, but I can’t help it.”
“Are you giving permission?”
“It can’t be helped. Everyone says it’s good. Instead-”
Berkis said in a deliberately stern voice.
“In exchange for allowing the family trip to be extended by one year, let’s cancel the dishes earlier.”
“It’s the middle class among South Asians.”
“….”
“That doesn’t work.”
“Then, skipping the wake-up call for the next year?”
“….”
“Can’t this be?”
“Hmm.”
“really?”
“Yes, really.”
“really?”
“Yes, really.”
Through the communication magic, the refreshing permission of the sky-like wife flew in!
“Actually, girl, for the past year, I have watched Seo-Bang-nim work hard every morning. There were times when I forgot to contact you because I was still oversleeping, but I was so moved by the fact that she was trying so hard to keep the pact with the girl.”
“…Oh did you?”
“yes. So, girl, this time, I decided not to nag at all, even if Seobang-nim gets a good night’s sleep all year round.”
“Is that so?”
“yes. Besides, just now, the West also listened to the girl’s request.”
“…hehe thank you! love you!”
“You have a girl. Then, get a good night’s sleep.”
Communication magic finished with a refreshing greeting.
The moment you end contact like that.
The moment the communication magic is turned off.
Berkis threw himself onto the bed.
He was the one who pretended to be sad when he heard the news that his wife’s trip would be extended for a year.
But really?
“Ha ha ha ha ha! Tra ha ha ha!”
I liked it so much that I kicked off the blanket and stomped my feet.
Just like the many husbands in Korea who have been called by their wives who went to their parents’ homes to play for one more week and then go.
On the outside, I pretended to be gloomy.
As soon as you hang up the phone, you start thinking about whether to order chicken or pizza.
In that way, Dragon King Verkis refined his plans for the next year with a heartwarming and thrilling smile.
‘now!’
I aligned the pillow angles.
I pulled the blanket I had kicked off.
I was going to buy a direct ticket to dreamland.
But that was the moment.
smart!
A knock sounded loudly without even noticing.
Then came a louder, clearer voice.
“Dragon King Verkis? This is the left angel Raphael. Are you sleeping?”
“….”
“I started the day jogging with the people of the Yeongji early in the morning, and it was so refreshing than I thought. Would you like to run together?”
“….”
“Or how about playing chess together? I learned from the Count here yesterday. Unexpectedly, the human play was also really fun.”
“….”
“If you don’t like that, how about working in the field together? It seems to be an unexpectedly thrilling act to grow and harvest crops, put them on the table, and share the joy with neighbors.”
“….”
“Dragon King Verkis? Aren’t you?”
smart! smart!
“….”
That guy who thinks he’s a left angel or a left turn.
Shall we just tear it apart at the sub-atomic level and disintegrate it?
Or should I talk to the archangel and ask him to destroy it?
Berkis pondered for a moment in a deep, thick rage like espresso.
In fact, it wasn’t a day or two of worrying about this.
‘That guy is so diligent. I like the unnecessarily friendliness. shit.’
Raphael, the left angel, was surprisingly well accustomed to life in the estate.
Basically, it has the character of an angel.
He never lied and was considerate of others.
He was kind as well as curious.
Of course, the interpersonal relationship couldn’t go back smoothly, so it went back like a turbine in a hydroelectric power plant in full condition.
In other words, the left angel was openly born with an extremely strong personality!
‘ah. I can’t really kill that thing.’
Of course, what if you make up your mind to get rid of it?
It was so easy.
However, I didn’t want to cause a conflict with the archangel just because I did that.
‘Because he’s on the same level as me.’
I suddenly remembered.
when was that
In fact, there was a time when he had a conflict with the archangel and even ventured into a physical collision.
I moved the space and attached it properly.
In the aftermath of the collision, the orbits of the two neutron stars were distorted. Did it fuse to create a black hole and cause a hypernova explosion with gravitational wave ejection?
‘I got that blast right at close range. But the archangel said he was fine.’
It was the first time he had seen anything other than himself that could withstand such a shock.
To be honest, I was a little surprised.
I wondered if all the archangel or the king of hell were like this.
So it was.
‘I don’t like having conflicts with such nasty guys. Annoying and bothersome.’
The left angel’s knocking and greetings continued to knock on my ears.
Chewing on it, Berkis turned over.
I plugged my ears and thought.
It’s annoying and I can’t do it.
I won’t be able to sleep comfortably.
It would be better to go to a place where no one will find it, put up a magic barrier, and sleep comfortably for a year.
It’s annoying to move, but I think it’s better than that.
Dragon King Berkis raised his body covered with annoyance.
‘let’s go.’
♣
“I must go to Namaran.”
said Lloyd.
I folded the scroll containing the urgent message and looked back at the king.
King Alicia sent a meaningful look.
“Shouldn’t it be like that?”
“yes. It seems so, Your Highness.”
A bitter smile appeared on Lloyd’s lips.
“If the contents of the urgent report are true, it makes sense.”
in a deepening bitter smile.
Lloyd recalled the urgent message in the scroll he had just seen.
In fact, the content was simple.
‘Namaran’s slope is collapsing again? So, the slope stability construction I did before…It means that the scene is slowly falling apart. Along with the mysterious explosion of magical energy.’
That was the contents of the dispatch brought by Namaran’s dispatch.
Lloyd frowned involuntarily.
‘I have a strong feeling. It hasn’t even been a few years since the slope was stabilized. Even if it’s maintenance, there’s no way it’ll collapse already.’
It was true.
Namaran, the city on the cliff.
The slope that was crumbling and collapsing there.
In order to stabilize it, it was said that they had constructed piles and anchors all over the slope.
But it’s already showing signs of re-collapse.
It was conceptually impossible.
‘Because I don’t do construction work like that. Besides, the last part of the urgent report bothers me more. It’s an unknown magical power explosion.’
Maybe this is a new version of the restoration of fate.
Wouldn’t it be a trigger incident to announce the beginning?
All of a sudden, I felt that certainty.
‘Because there are enough possibilities.’
Come to think of it, it was.
Namaran was actually the place where the big incident called ‘Namaran’s Barrier’ took place in the original Iron Blooded Knight.
But he blocked it himself.
Stop the black magicians’ schemes.
Defeated the Hell Knight that was about to be summoned.
Originally, the daughter of Namaran, who should have died, was also brought back to life.
At all, she succeeded Count Namaran as the ruler of the city.
‘From that point of view, Namaran is one of the places where I changed the stem of the original story the most. Then there is a good chance that a new version of the phenomenon of restoring destiny will begin there.’
After organizing his thoughts, Lloyd bowed his head to the king’s sister.
“If you do, I will step back, Your Highness.”
“Are you going already?”
“It seems like it should be.”
“I see. Hurry up if you do.”
Fortunately, the king’s sister didn’t catch on to me.
No, rather, it seemed to have glimpsed the troubles of this side.
I don’t know the details of the details.
I can’t even imagine the phenomenon of restoration of destiny.
Even so, I wonder if he noticed the sign of this side trying to move in a hurry.
With a nasty joke, he coolly let me go.
“Please don’t die.”
“Is there a possibility?”
That’s how I ended my greetings with the King’s sister.
He immediately left the kingdom.
I got on the back of Yongyong, who was waiting outside the capital.
kicked the ground
“To Namaran!”
turned the nose to the south.
It flew like a storm.
Passing many mountains and rivers.
Villages and castles across the plain.
Finally, the familiar city on the cliff came into view.
It was Namaran.
Lloyd landed Yongyong on the slope of Namaran.
Then, I climbed the slope on my own two feet.
‘I’ll have to check what happened first.’
Saying goodbye to the young lady Nama was the next thing to do after understanding the situation.
The first thing to do is to check whether the strange phenomenon that happened here is really related to the restoration of fate and whether it is a trigger event.
With that thought, Lloyd quickly climbed the slope.
He arrived at the site where the piles and anchors he had constructed in the past were installed.
Upon arrival, I saw that several of the hydraulic plates holding the anchors on the ground were broken.
Even among the piles, there were only about 1/3 of them pulled out.
‘What is this?’
Lloyd was heartbroken.
Except for the fact that the pressure plate was broken.
It was shocking that the hard stakes that had been driven into the bedrock in the ground were pulled out.
Could it be that a giant with superpowers came and made a fuss?
Otherwise, it was an inexplicable situation.
‘No, there must be a real cause. Because there was an unknown magical power explosion phenomenon. Let’s set the direction of the investigation that way.’
Lloyd kept his cool.
He observed the scene calmly.
And moved the mana circle.
Kiyiyi….
A branched circle moved and absorbed mana little by little.
I felt and analyzed the nature of the absorbed mana.
Like activating a mine detector.
Like that, it looks like it’s all over the place.
I tried to find traces of the magic explosion phenomenon written in the urgent report.
thank you soon
I was able to feel it in an ashy way.
‘Why does this pile contain mana?’
I was in the middle of observing a force stake that had been pulled out of the ground by about 1/3.
I began to feel the mana in the stake.
Lloyd discerned the nature of Mana.
I was able to understand right away.
‘This mana is not unfamiliar.’
I was used to it.
It was a mana he had never experienced before.
where?
Right here.
when?
When the black magicians were being punished.
So, this mana nestled in the stake….
‘Black Mage. Noctanium. black jewels. The medium that was planted to raise the barrier of Namaran. The mana that dwelled in that jewel.’
Words come to mind and assemble like pieces of a puzzle.
Lloyd finally realized the situation.
‘Someone used this installation I built as a medium…Are you trying to raise the Namaran barrier again?’
