EP.121 I had a drink
“Teacher. We have a problem.”
The Undead brought a bottle of alcohol and asked me for advice. He didn’t even tell me to, but he poured alcohol into a glass and said heavily as if he was carrying the weight of his life alone.
“What is it?”
“Didn’t you say you were going to leave here on the next sunny day?”
“It was.”
“hmm. What will you do when you go outside?”
Life advice suddenly?
nothing has been decided It’s something I have to live and see, so I can’t afford to think about it until after I escape.
I replied without thinking.
“I’ll go back to where I stayed for now.”
“You mean the military? They say they have no tolerance for criminals. Can you go back?”
“The military doesn’t have any tolerance even if you don’t commit any particular crime.”
“haha! that’s right! I know that!”
“And I was a criminal too. So, there is nothing to take.”
“Oh, I didn’t know that either!”
The Undead laughed heartily, drank a glass of wine, and brought out a business.
“teacher. But I have a question for you. Callis says she can’t go back to the military anymore.”
“Perhaps.”
“Why can’t a man the size of a lieutenant colonel go back to his country?”
“You belonged to a secret society. The secret society won’t spare her for betraying them. You will be assassinated as soon as you return.”
“hmm! Wouldn’t the military also protect her, a valuable officer?”
“Do you know the easiest way for the secret society to assassinate the lieutenant colonel? You can report that the lieutenant colonel moved after receiving orders from a secret society other than the military. Then you will be immediately arrested and executed.”
They are a waste to replace a level 3 citizen.
But it’s a waste, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. The military state prioritizes the protection of the system above all else and brutally purges those who oppose it.
Even a 4th-level citizen can resolutely strike down a citizen if he goes against their will
.
“That’s so tight! I always feel that the military government has too strict standards!”
After being assured that he would die if he returned to the military state, the undead decided to tell me.
“Then it can’t be helped! Even if it was hardship, it would be better than death. Now that this has happened, I will have to take her with me when I leave the military.”
“Are you leaving the military?”
“I guess so. Or, I don’t know, she’ll die. I won’t be welcomed anymore.”
“More? Was Mr. Rash not very welcome from the start?”
“haha! You’re stabbing the sore spot! How did you know?”
“Because the military doesn’t like out-of-standards very much. Except when it comes to war.”
“haha. The military is also a very consistent country.”
The Undead muttered bitterly. In his sigh, a strong smell of alcohol came out, along with a deep regret.
The liquor supplied by the regressor is a valuable Cheonrahyangju that is said to be drunk with a clear mind. It is a legendary drink that the former imperial ministers drank when they wanted to get drunk during heavy duty.
I can’t get out of this place. I also drank the liquor that was slicking in front of me.
The alcohol that flows down the esophagus burns deep inside. It burns inside the body and the remaining clear incense seems to permeate the whole body.
“Big. kill. This is alcohol.”
After all, a high-end item that was chosen by a regressor. I didn’t want to break it down a little, but poured all the liquid in the glass.
When I put it down on the table, the Undead nodded happily.
“You should thank the boy! It is on a different level from the strong and bitter beer of the military!”
“Don’t compare it to that sloppy drink. It’s a monstrosity that uses moisture compression technology on top of crappy beer to increase distribution and transportation efficiency.”
I still don’t understand why what is called home brew is a 2nd level luxury item. Extravagance is what you should wear when you are extravagant.
“If you mix it with water, you can’t tell if it’s beer or if someone punches you in the head while you’re eating barley porridge, so why is a terrible liquid a luxury item? It’s the bane of efficiencyism. Just because the results are the same doesn’t mean they are all the same.”
“ha ha ha! What an interesting expression! I was surprised too. How did it become a country where you can’t even drink a glass of wine!”
The story came and went along with the drinking glasses that came and went.
Those who do not have memories to share tend to curse at the same thing at a drinking party and confirm their friendship. Like a resident of the backstreets of the military district, I bitterly broke the military government, and the Undead agreed with my words, but continued to show lingering attachment to the military government.
I asked.
“You’ve only just arrived in this country, so how did you feel about it?”
“I’m not affectionate. It’s a pity that I didn’t get it.”
“If you don’t like it, you can just leave.”
“That is unfortunate. Even if I leave the military, I don’t think I will miss the military very much.”
What are you talking about. natural words. Even the people who live in the military now don’t miss it.
The Undead murmured as he filled his glass with wine.
“I thought the military was an incredibly great country. The army built cities, built dams, and paved roads. He even made the land flow like a river and connected the whole country.”
“It is one of the few achievements of the military.”
“On the other hand, our tribe just rejoiced while planting the huge beans that the army made. For those who don’t die, maybe that’s why there’s not even a single point of fierceness. I adored the military that kept trying to build something.”
Glasses collided. The Undead gulped down his cup and leaned back against the backrest. His gaze moved a little farther away.
“Our tribe grows up drinking soil-mixed water and eating soil-covered grains and meat from an early age. Then, on the day of the coming-of-age ceremony, I drive the energy accumulated in my body to a certain corner. And cut off the part closest to the soil and offer it to the Earth Mother.”
I felt a bit of remorse and longing for the Undead, who spoke of the traditions of his tribe. He said while fiddling with his right arm.
“So we offer up parts of our bodies, bury them in the ground, and get new bodies. My right arm is that god of offerings.”
He said that his right arm was running around, so he must have done something strange.
Really, humans do crazy things.
“Thanks to that, I had to gain immortality… but is it because of that? We have become stagnant. The military is building a country made of iron, but at most the beans we plant are slightly different. I came to see Gunguk because I was fed up with the sight that was no different from when I was young. however.”
The Undead looked around once. The color of the concrete that seemed to symbolize the military was filled with his eyes.
“I don’t know. When I thought of our tribe, I felt resentment and longing. There is no inspiration in this country….”
“Maybe if you’ve been imprisoned and left with your whole body torn apart.”
“haha. no. I don’t care about little things like that.”
how trivial that is
Laughing with an immortal perspective, he poured all the remaining alcohol into his glass.
“It seems that nothing will get better if I stay here longer. I just committed a sin and I can’t stay anymore. I’ve seen everything to see, so I have to leave.”
And after drinking it all at once, he made a clear decision.
“I will cross the border and go to my mother-in-law. I’ll try to invite Khalis to come too, but I don’t know if he’ll agree.”
Of course I will. That must have been what he was aiming for in the first place.
The Undead rose from its seat. He walked fine, though his face was slightly red. He was amazed at his appearance.
“Is it because it’s a delicious drink! Even though I drank this much, I only get drunk, but my mind is sober!”
“It’s Cheonrahyangju, a refreshing drink. A drink that only makes you feel better when you drink it and doesn’t harm your body.”
“There are all types of alcohol in the world!”
“Did you ask for a drink without knowing what kind of alcohol it was?”
“What do I know! Callis asked me to drink it, so I brought it out!”
Eh. Callis?
But why did you bring it to me? Where should I remember to read it?
Reading the memory roughly, it seems that Calis played the heroine of tragedy. He said that he had nowhere else to go, and that he wanted to drink because he was confused with a sad expression. as possible.
The Undead accepted the offer and went with a drink.
“But when I brought it out, it turned out that Calis was so injured that she couldn’t even walk! I snatched the glass before I drank! Heh, it almost got into trouble!”
He stumbled and fell in his own tricks. Who would pretend to be so sick when he recovered enough to secretly skip food at night?
There’s just one problem.
“…Did you bring it to me as it is?”
“Since I took off the lid, there is nothing I can do about it. You should drink!”
“Why was it me?”
“I can’t bring it to a young boy or a blood demon who can’t even taste it! The same goes for beast girls, so there is only one teacher in the method of elimination! There was something I wanted to ask the teacher about!”
If you do that, then I’ll buy Carlisle’s grudge.
This is why the person who brought alcohol should read the memory first. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the middle of a long time, so I think my guard has been released.
It’s not a bad intention, so it doesn’t matter, but it’s what Kalis wants.
I sighed and pointed my finger at the cupboard.
“Mr. Rash. There is also a bottle of medicinal liquor in the cupboard over there. It’s a drink full of fire, but it’s a medicine that defeats all kinds of unclean energy and heals the body.”
“oh! Do you have such a strange drink?”
“yes. If that’s the case, it’ll be okay for the patient to drink.”
“Let me know a little earlier! I couldn’t have gotten better sooner!”
Not knowing that he was already healed, the Undead hurriedly approached and took out the medicinal wine. He took another glass and left with a few pieces of meat as a snack.
“Then I will go!”
I waved my hand to see him off.
Realize the cruelty of civilization, savage. you’ve already fallen into a trap
Anyway, since I left here.
hmm. I never thought about it.
I’ll have to go back to the back alleys of Amitengrad and get my hidden possessions and stuff.
After that, I don’t know.
There is nothing more meaningless than grand plans for the future. Because the future is unpredictable. It is absurd for a person who has been in an isolated abyss for a long time to anticipate the flow of the world.
You have to go out and find the information and do your best every time based on that.
To avoid danger and survive.
Feeling good, I went out to the yard with the idea of playing with Aji. I took a piece of chicken with the intention of serving.
Then I saw a strange sight.
“Nya-! Seoranya-!”
The darkness beyond the space illuminated by the daylight.
There, a butterfly was running after a round light zigzagging away.
“Nya-! It’s pretty fast! But Nya’s speed can’t keep up…? what?”
I wanted to run something in the darkness that I couldn’t see well, but the butterfly landed on the light of the searchlight. Let out a triumphant cry and place your forepaws on the light.
However, the insubstantial light leaked through the claws and crawled across the ground. Then the butterfly, which had risen to the top of the medicine, also jumped along with the light.
“what! what! How fast you are!”
“Woof woof!”
“Nyaat! stupid bitch! Vicky!”
This time Aji appeared and stepped on the round light. Of course, Aji couldn’t pick up the light and passed it while the round light ran away drawing zigzags again.
It’s strange. Searchlights are supposed to follow objects. Why are you avoiding Nabi or Aji?
I did something and turned my head.
Above the searchlight attached to the outer wall of the prison. The regressor stood lightly there, moving the light.
A regressor playing with Aji and Nabi on his own. Also play like this.
“The sun rises in the west.”
He said he couldn’t handle it like a beast because he had a human form. Have you finally changed your mind?
The regressor, who had been absorbed in moving the light for a while, was flustered when he met my eyes.
“Ah ah. This.”
“What are you playing with?”
“No, that’s it.”
‘A butterfly was chasing a searchlight by itself, but the light didn’t move…’
Searchlights were made to chase fugitives. Instead of running away from the butterfly, they try to catch it. Even if the butterfly points to the light, the light does not move.
So, after a certain moment, the butterfly gets tired of the light that only shines on it and comes back. A prey that doesn’t run away is no fun.
“So you felt sorry for that disappointed look, so you moved the light yourself? And then Aji came to play with me?”
“Do not misunderstand! I just don’t think it’s okay to smoke magical weed all the time, so just!”
A regressor who excuses himself as guilty.
who said what what am i misunderstanding
“Good job Shay.”
“what?”
“Yeah. I’ve finally heard of it. is it so. If you have an animal, you should think about taking care of it together. How hard it was to take care of the poison all the time…. Whoa. I am so moved that I am almost in tears.”
“You are lying. Even the corners of your eyes are dry.”
“That is what it means.”
The regressor smiled and controlled the direction of the light. While moving the searchlight so that Nabi and Aji could not catch it easily, he suddenly spat out.
“The canned food you gave me. You’re doing well.”
“A snack?”
“okay. I liked it. I thought you’d hate it because it was just dishonest and tasteless…”
“Why do you eat that.”
“I just tasted it! Whether it’s the king of beasts or not, the body is human first! I’m afraid I won’t be able to eat it!”
“It wasn’t made to eat humans, but it’s corrupt to eat it. The only person who eats human food well is a child who eats dog food. It’s strange to try to feed people food in the first place.”
It was when we were having such a casual conversation.
thud.
At the same time as the ground vibrated, the searchlight suddenly began to move wildly.
The regressor had already taken his hand off the searchlight. With her eyes wide open, she glared in the direction from which the sound had come.
The searchlight detected a new intruder and followed its trail. The light scattered in all directions moves in a straight line and gathers in one place.
And at the end of the point where the lines intersect.
A person was standing.
It was a tall woman with apricot-colored skin.
Her black hair, tied in a single strand, flowed back. Human doll-shaped earrings swayed from her ears. Tightly built muscles are peeking out from under the body wearing loose clothes that would be worn by a guru. Five bracelets fluttered one beat late.
“bruise! Dangerous!”
“Nyanat! Nya comes first!”
Just in time, the king of the two beasts who had followed the light arrived. Ah-ji, realizing that there was a human, twisted the direction, but the butterfly, preoccupied with play, rushed at her at the same speed as it was running.
swinging front paws. There is one human on that trajectory. An attack like a disaster for humans called the charge of the king of beasts.
however.
thud.
The butterfly’s front paw got stuck in her arm.
Spreading her legs wide and raising her arms, she withstood the butterfly’s blow.
Can I say that I have endured this?
If a cat scratches its claws at a giant tree, does the old tree survive the attack?
I wouldn’t say that. In the first place, isn’t a giant tree broken by a cat’s claws? It was just there and the cat came and scratched it.
In that sense, she was like a giant tree.
That wasn’t the end.
Aji, who should have lost his balance and rolled on the ground trying to avoid a human who suddenly appeared.
But Aji was now held by her side.
“Woof woof?”
When a child who is hanging dangly is puzzled.
“The king of dogs, the king of cats. It seems to have come along well. Mother, mother, mother, I thank you. Thanks to Mother’s grace, I found a way even in this hell.”
A quiet prayer was heard.
Not even a butterfly. Caught in that strong body, he became quiet. It was a truly unbelievable feat to win the king of the two beasts with a single body and purely physical ability.
The regressor widened his eyes.
‘Why are you here already? It must have been a long time ago!’
As Aji struggled to get caught in her armpit, she carefully put her down. Aji jumped up and down and circled around her.
“bruise! hi! nice to meet you!”
“Greetings, dog king. The representative of existence will be greeted by those who follow the Mother Goddess.”
She bowed her head in front of Aji, and Aji bobbed his head after her.
“King of Cats…”
But the vigilant butterfly ran away and stared at the stranger. She smiled at the butterfly and turned her gaze to where the prison was.
Oh, we met eyes she cried, looking this way.
“I’m just a passer-by!”
And the footsteps that follow.
thud.
The small but gigantic gesture announcing his appearance shook the whole of Tantalus.
“This meeting was also made under the guidance of Earth Mother. I hope the street hand will be treated for a day!”
Onnuri is in the arms of Mother Goddess Earth, and as long as they step foot on each other, they are all connected.
The owner should not reject the stray hand, and the stray hand should be as diligent as the owner’s hands and feet.
A devout follower of Earth Mother brought out an old rule.
but in the first place.
If all flow with the world is cut off, they will come to their hell, the abyss.
Of course, I am not an ordinary believer.
Fortunately, before I read the memory of that mother god. A thought came from the regressor.
‘The agent of the god of earth. Jiseon (地仙)!’
