Episode 183
EPISODE.92
“Phew—!”
My breathing became shaky at the unexpected answer.
Cluck, cluck, cluck─.
Dry cough continues.
My lungs were shaking back and forth, and stabbing pain surged through my nervous system.
“Ugh, cough.”
How many times have I frowned and coughed a bit?
“Gwae, are you okay?”
Io, embarrassed, quickly helped Russell up.
Although the dragon’s kindness has been awakened considerably, the innocent eyes are still no different from those of an elf.
It’s probably a word that doesn’t mean much.
However, if he were to hear the word ‘master’ in front of her, anyone would have this reaction, as long as he was a man.
Maybe it was because of her beautiful appearance, but all kinds of thoughts came to my mind.
Feeling his face getting hot for no reason, Russell placed his palm on his face.
‘Ugh.’
He shook his head and corrected his words.
“I think saying ‘master’ is too much.”
solvent and dragon.
Strictly speaking, it was a master-servant relationship.
However, being called master by a beautiful elf could cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
‘It’s not possible to explain every time.’
“hmm… … .”
At Russell’s words, Io, who was supporting her chin with the tip of her index finger, tilted her head.
“Then what would be better?”
“hmm.”
Russell, who was thinking together, soon made a suggestion.
“How about Russell?”
When I thought about it, there was no reason to worry about a different name given the perfectly fine name. It felt a little burdensome to call him ‘benefactor’ every time we met.
“Mr. Russell, Mr. Russell, Mr. Russell… … .”
There was no need to add you. Io thought over the new title several times.
At most, I only changed one title, but I felt that the distance was noticeably less than before.
Io smiled brightly, as she really liked this sense of distance becoming closer.
I smiled and nodded.
“I will. Mr. Russell.”
.
.
Even after Io returned, Russell had no choice but to stay busy for a while.
Upon hearing the news that he had woken up, most of those who were on the investigation team at the time came to say hello at least once.
It has to be that way.
Of course, that day. Among those present, there was not a single one who did not receive the grace of lifesaving from Russell.
“… … Priests. “Are you okay?”
“I came here after hearing that you woke up, but it’s more problematic than I thought.”
“… … ?”
“I have to purify myself until my body is completely healed. “The muscle loss will be significant.”
Hubert and Vermilion.
The two executioners, of course, Alan Page and Auror practitioners, dwarves, Arain, etc… … .
Finally, after receiving a visit from Amelia Merwin and Olive, Russell was finally able to calm down.
“Whoa… … .”
He corrected his posture, took a long breath, and opened a subspace.
‘It’s definitely comfortable in this respect.’
In general, subspace was a type of advanced magic that had to be opened by consuming magical power.
In a situation where the Mana Road is twisted like now, it was necessary to endure some pain in order to open subspace.
However, unlike other subspaces, Russell’s subspace was a little special. Since it was a space received as a reward for a mission, it was possible to open the subspace simply by moving one’s intention without consuming any significant amount of magical energy.
What Russell took out from there was one of the extra potions he had.
Pong-.
The sealed stopper opens, and the scent of the potion spreads throughout the barracks.
‘Strawberry scent… … .’
The fact that the scent and taste changes when an accelerant is added is entirely Aidan’s personal preference.
For a moment, I was laughing as I recalled a story I had heard before, and then a word suddenly crossed my mind.
‘Did you say it would take ten days to move and a month to fully recover, even with the power of the potion?’
It was the judgment of the military doctor who checked his physical condition.
Since he was a military doctor with some level of knowledge in magic medicine, if he had been an ordinary magician, that period would have roughly fit him.
However, Russell had one power that was different from others.
‘Overlord and Wizard Body.’
Russell poured the potion into his mouth and slowly closed his eyes.
Hahahaha!

The circle slowly rotated.
‘The mana rod around the circle is also twisted, so slowly. Being careful… … .’
A delicate movement like oiling and removing rust from the cogs of an old machine.
Tsutsutsutsu-.
The magic power that flowed out like that lightly touched the mana rod around the circle, and after confirming that the water had finally opened, Russell turned the heads of some of the magic power in a different direction.
It made me encounter the biography of the potion I had just drank.
‘So that it can have a little more effect on internal injuries rather than external injuries.’
Wow-.
Magical power and medicinal properties mix and begin to swirl throughout the body.
Russell raised the corners of his mouth as he felt the medicinal effects of the potion caress the mana rod of his entire body.
‘It works.’
Originally, it was the medicinal effect of the potion that would have spread internally and externally and helped recovery.
However, what needs to be prioritized now is the internal wound rather than the external wound.
Russell mixed the potion’s medicinal properties with magical power, allowing its power to only apply internally.
‘If you add the resilience that Overlord and Wizard Body have… … .’
I can feel the mana rod that was twisted along the spot where the magic flowed is gradually unraveling.
The medicinal effect of the potion helps the recovery of damaged and damaged areas, and wow.
So many hours. Feeling that her body was much more refreshed than before, Russell carefully opened her eyes.
He calmly diagnosed his condition.
‘Is it roughly a little over 10%? … .’
At this rate, I should be able to get out of bed within a week at the most.
The speed was incomparably faster than the first diagnosis made by the military doctor.
‘Then this time…’ … .’
It was then.
The entrance to the tent fluttered open and a tall person came in from outside.
Sreuk.
An eye patch covering one eye, dark skin for a continental person, and a robe that resembles a robe.
A man who looks like an Eastern monk, the Emperor of the Royal Capitals. It was Niccolo Machiavelli.
One eye is sunken in, and the complexion looks a bit sallow.
“… … “I don’t know if I was distracting you.”
“it’s okay. “It just ended.”
“Then I’m glad. Oh, just sit there. “There is no need for someone who is not feeling well to get up.”
He nodded and stood up to stop Russell, who was about to greet him.
“And the one who should say hello is not you, but me.”
He quickly bowed his head and added.
“Thank you.”
Previously, I had heard many people say thank you and thank you in different ways.
However, Nicolo’s voice somehow had a slightly different weight. A voice that feels much heavier and more responsible than others.
“If it weren’t for you, many people would have buried their bones on the spot. “Maybe all of the personnel were wiped out.”
‘Ah…’
Russell, realizing the meaning of that weight, sighed inwardly.
‘Did you feel a sense of responsibility as the general commander in the situation at that time?’
He felt guilty and responsible for not being able to come up with a solution even though he had all command authority and was one of the strongest members of the group.
Those two emotions were pressing heavily on Nicolo’s shoulders right now.
‘Something similar to this happened before.’
Russell continued, recalling the conversation he had with Hubert after the battle with McRae Hughes.
“I just had a useful method, but someone had to do it anyway. and… … .”
“… … ?”
“If I had been alone, I would never have won that battle.”
About thirteen minutes.
Because he wasn’t the kind of guy who would just sit back and watch while he was defenseless to cast a spell.
It would have been absolutely impossible if others had not risked their lives to save time and protect him.
“Isn’t Nicolo one of them?”
It’s no different than saving each other’s lives.
“And although it was a few years ago, didn’t Nicolo save me too?”
This time too, it was related to McRae Hughes. If he hadn’t shown up later, he would have buried his bones there.
“If you really care, I think it would be good if you thought that I repaid the favor I owed you back then, a little late.”
Of course, I didn’t think he could completely lift the burden from his shoulders with just a few words.
“is it… … .”
However, it seemed as if it wasn’t completely ineffective, as he carefully placed the tip of his chin.
“I can’t believe you said that. “Thank you.”
A much better expression than before.
“More than that, how is your body? “After listening to the military doctor, he said I would need to be recuperated for about a month.”
“hmm.”
Russell said with a shrug.
“I don’t know how long it will take, but my body is recovering little by little.”
Even if I told him that I could get out of bed in about a week, most people wouldn’t believe me.
It would be better to show it in person.
“Right.”
He lowered his head and muttered as if something suddenly occurred to him.
“Oops, I was planning on just saying hello and leaving. “I don’t know if I’ve been holding on to a friend who’s not in good health for too long.”
Then, let’s take a break-, as he said that, he turned around and added, looking back at Russell at the entrance of the barracks.
“If there is anything you need to recover, please let me know. “If there’s anything I can get you, I’ll get it for you.”
After Nicolo returned.
Russell, who was alone again, moved his fingertips to open subspace.
It was to resume what I had been doing before Nicolo came in.
What Russell took out from there was a golden, sparkling mask.
‘Mask of a pure mind.’
It was a reward received for defeating Briareos.
Tuk-.
As I grasped the mask with my fingertips, its purpose naturally flowed into my mind.
‘Does it assist in maintaining the same spirit as the Myeonggyeongjisu (明鏡止水) and grants resistance to mental magic and mental pollution?’
It seemed to be effective against curses as well as hallucinations and illusions.
Of course, it was not possible to prevent illusionary magic that did not affect the mind and was implemented in a different series -.
‘Even so, the utility is sufficient.’
In a battle against a wizard, there was a significant advantage to be gained just by being able to maintain a clear mind and judgment.
In addition, the power to increase mental resistance can be used as a hidden joker card when dealing with warlocks who mainly use curses.
‘I got a useful tool.’
Thinking like that, Russell put his hand into subspace again.
‘where… … .’
The day before, I took out two other masks that I had tied together with string.
Since you can’t wear all three masks at once, if you tie them together like this, you can wear them like accessories at any time.
The moment I lined them up to weave my newly acquired mask.
Uuuuuung-.
With the sound, the three masks began to vibrate slightly, as if they were resonating with each other.
Hahahaha!
Just as the golden mask floated into the air was engulfed in dazzling light. An alarm was heard.
[The three masks come together and regain their true form.]
[You have completed Crown Of Solomon.]
Those old days, the age of myth.
Solomon, the wizard king who founded the Magic Empire. One of his relics was revealed.
Whoa!
wizard who swallowed a dragon
