#377. Why
* * *
[Wow, that’s really over.]
Big cauldron.
To be exact, Yuna-kyung admired the sculptures engraved on the surface.
Then he moved slowly and looked around the cauldron and continued talking.
[I heard that you started working right away, but I thought it would take a week. I didn’t expect you to do this in five days.]
“So? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a baby doing it in one day.”
[Ay, no matter how much you are a team leader, it is impossible in one day. Besides, there is no reason why you would have been stuck here for five days, right?]
“Well… wouldn’t that be unknown?”
A little bit of a strange expression for a while.
Shir said with a smile.
“Anyway, the bowl is ready, so let’s get ready to fill it.”
[Yes, do your best!]
“…why are you talking like you’re only going to watch?”
[Yes, I am a delicate baby bird. With these little wings, I can’t help even if I want to help, right?]
He said he would stay out of the way.
Seeing Yuna-gyeong talking with a smile, Shire smiled as well and flicked a small jewel with her finger.
“Zuiesza.”
Perong!
“Hey!?”
Yuna-kyung hit her buttock.
The moment I was hit by a jewel thrown by Sir.
It was because he lost his balance by suddenly changing into a human form.
“Now that I have hands, I can help.”
“You’re overspending to spend those expensive jewels just to run errands!”
“Isn’t that what you meant?”
Maybe it’s because the level of magic is different.
Not the usual half-human, half-bird form, but with intact hands and wings, and grumbled for a while.
Yuna-kyung went into preparation as instructed by Sir.
Draw a magic circle with mercury.
Place the candle in the designated location.
Such as hanging a small incense burner from the ceiling.
As she briskly wandered around, the secret room, which originally had only a cauldron, gradually changed into a shape resembling a witch’s magician.
In the meantime.
Yuna-kyung suddenly stopped her hand.
“…”
A familiar hand that I have seen for a long time and still use naturally.
Still unfamiliar
that’s why i miss it
Yuna-kyung gazed blankly at her five fingers.
It was in the middle of seeing Sir as if he was interested.
Sigh.
“Are you ready, Grandma?”
“There is still a little left.”
“Don’t be late, just hurry up.”
“If you were in such a hurry, why didn’t you call sooner? If that were the case, it would have been over long ago.”
Sir naturally accepted Limon’s prompting.
And looking at Yuna-gyeong, who started to move busily again, with a sad face, asked suddenly.
“By the way, what are you going to do?”
“what?”
“That’s what you mean.”
She took out her glasses from her bosom before she knew it and continued talking while looking at the sculptures drawn on the cauldron.
“I know your pieces are great. Even with the power it currently possesses, it is at a level close to that of a god. But…”
“Isn’t this still not enough?”
“We’re not just trying to make a god, are we?”
Sir shrugged.
What they are trying to create now is an unprecedented object in history that even she, a great witch who has lived for thousands of years, has never heard of.
To complete it, a power beyond even the miracle of magic was needed.
So, Sir asked.
“Wouldn’t step 3 be too much?”
“…okay.”
From psionics to astral powers.
Plato’s carving knife, which can give his power to everything he sculpts, was definitely a miraculous object.
The problem is that in order to draw out 100% of that power, you have to pass all the tests.
And even Limon hadn’t passed the final three-level test yet.
“I don’t know what the damn old Plato was thinking when he prepared this as a test, but this isn’t possible right away.”
Limon clicked his tongue.
Of course, thanks to his continued efforts to pass the test, he put the solution of step 3 to the front of a piece of paper.
But I couldn’t get past that piece of paper.
And Limon knew from experience that these problems could not be solved with skill and hard work.
A change of mindset.
Understanding the little tricks.
Or a change of thinking.
It was a problem that could be solved immediately with a little realization, but on the contrary, it could not be solved even after suffering for several years.
Likewise, Sir, knowing that fact, did not rush Limon.
Instead, I just casually asked.
“So you asked what to do? You should be able to make Dagda’s cauldron at this rate, but you won’t be able to achieve your goal.”
“I want you to tell me not to worry. That’s why we have prepared countermeasures like this.”
the measures he took.
In other words, seeing the box Limon was carrying on his back, Sir narrowed his eyes.
“Definitely not a bad way, but would that be good enough?”
“Well, this alone is a bit risky. That’s why we brought a special guest.”
“Special guest?”
“okay.”
Limon laughed.
In the first place, even though he had already finished the pieces, one of the reasons he finally called Sir was to wait for the guest.
A girl in sky-blue clothes who went to her home country to respond to economic sanctions and arrived a little while ago.
“Please, stupid princess.”
“…”
“Why?”
The gray-haired princess standing behind Limon.
Ainsha glanced at the cauldron, then glanced around the room and tilted her head.
“I want to know why Li Qingyu is invisible.”
“Ah, come to think of it, the princess sister didn’t come?”
Yuna-kyung was puzzled.
I thought Li Qingyu would definitely come with Limon.
It was because only Ainsha and Tata Youin were behind him, and she was nowhere to be seen.
It was Limon who told me the reason.
“The princess can’t come today.”
“why?”
“I was sick, so I just told you to rest.”
“Are you sick? Are you the princess sister?”
At the unexpected answer, Yuna-kyung widened her eyes.
The masters of the Seven Dragons are all superhuman.
They were as strong as high-level players, so they didn’t catch any contagious diseases.
However, the princess who inherited the dragon’s blood is sick.
For Yuna-kyung, who learned how fraudulent the seven princesses were thanks to hanging out with Limon, it was a story that made her ears doubtful.
“Yeah, I guess it was because of overwork.”
“Are you overworked? I, who rolled over like a dog from Africa, look fine, so why is the princess unnie?”
“Even if you take on only one-tenth of the paperwork the princess normally handles, you will understand why.”
“…Coming to think of it, it’s worth getting sick.”
However, after hearing Limon’s explanation, Yuna-kyung immediately agreed to the reason why Li Ching-yu was sick.
Li Qingyu’s workload was usually enormous as he took away work as well as the authority of the elders’ meeting against the marriage.
In addition, from the raid of the liberation brigade to chaos and economic sanctions due to the death of the monarch, the work has become murderous.
Even the master of the Seven Dragons died of overwork long ago.
It was not understandable that Li Qingyu collapsed from exhaustion.
“How come I haven’t seen Gongju unni for over four days, so it seems she’s been feeling unwell ever since.”
“…something like that.”
Yuna-kyung nodded and agreed.
Limon scratching his cheek.
The fact that Sir laughed strangely.
He didn’t even know that Youin had a very mysterious expression on his face.
Limon, who shamelessly rejected their gaze, asked Ainsha, who was looking at him with clear eyes.
“Anyway, as the princess is missing, the burden on you may be a bit bigger than I thought… Will it be okay?”
“of course. Trust me and leave it to you.”
Ainsha with her small chest wide open.
Hearing her boastful words, which is different from his expressionless face, he even laughed once.
Limon put down the box on his back.
container.
The ghost of the girl who had poked her head out of the box was startled and ran behind Yuna-kyung.
Shir slowly took out various boxes and pockets from the gorge between his voluptuous breasts.
While Yuna-kyung is finishing the magic circle she was drawing around the cauldron.
Limon quietly opened his mouth, confirming that he was ready to take on a task that no human or even god had accomplished in history.
“Now then, let’s make a bug item.”
* * *
“…work has been delayed more than expected.”
“sorry. I and the elders tried to handle it as best I could, but I couldn’t help it beyond this.”
“Sir Lucas has nothing to apologize for. Rather, I am sorry.”
Count Sea Serpent.
Rose, who was handling the mountain of paperwork in the office, smiled bitterly.
Compared to Li Qing-yu, who is shouldering everything alone, and Ainsha, who is suffering from economic sanctions, her workload was small.
But how to get your clothes wet in drizzle.
Rose went to Africa a month ago.
In the meantime, the amount of paperwork piled up was such that even Rose, who was accustomed to overwork, would groan.
After meeting Li Qingyu, I hadn’t slept well for four days and had been focusing on my work, but there were still so many documents.
“Princess, how about taking a break for now?”
That’s why Lucas invited her to rest.
Rose’s condition is that she has to focus on recuperation because she is weak from using Yonghwa.
With such a body clinging to work, I had no choice but to worry.
But Rose shook her head.
“I am okay.”
“Haona…”
“I’m saying this because it’s really good. So rest assured.”
In fact, she was in fairly good condition, despite suffering internal injuries while facing Branga while suffering from the aftereffects of Yonghwa.
It’s just that the operation of the psionic has become a bit inconvenient.
Not only did it not interfere with my daily life, but I could feel vitality even in the midst of a little lethargy.
what is the cause
I could guess it vaguely, so Rose opened her mouth with a faint smile.
“Besides, in terms of needing a rest, isn’t it the same for Sir Lucas, whose injuries haven’t healed yet?”
“Assisting the princess is what I must do as an aide.”
“You would know if I were the same, right?”
“….”
Lucas was at a loss for words.
Seeing him like that, Rose smiled and continued to process the paperwork with a lighter heart.
No, I was trying to deal with it.
Until I saw a report that was a little different from the paperwork I had been processing so far.
“Sir Lucas, what is this?”
“This is a document about the personnel dispatched to investigate after it was confirmed belatedly that important cultural assets were stolen right after the London incident.”
“What kind of cultural property are you talking about?”
“That’s…”
He seemed to be sorry to say.
The moment he heard what the stolen cultural property was from Lucas, who had a puzzled look on his face.
Rose hardened her face involuntarily.
“Something so important was missing, so you only found out about it a while ago?”
“As the confusion was so extreme at the time, it seems that it took time to confirm.”
“Why…”
she groaned.
Actually, it wasn’t something to blame Lucas for.
There were more than one or two collapsed buildings or stolen items before and after the London crisis, and it was impossible to check all of them overnight.
Nevertheless, the reason Rose reprimanded Lucas was that the stolen cultural property was special.
“…I don’t know how to tell the swordsman about this.”
