Episode 197 Ancestor Deok (1)
The suffocating silence continued for a long time.
Those on the castle wall kept their mouths shut and stared straight ahead.
Thousands of pairs of eyes were focused on the being returning with the head of the Orc Lord.
Unlike when he first left the castle walls, the sight of Lois walking with the sun behind him seemed as if his halo was lighting up the world.
widely-.
Lois, who returned in silence, lightly jumped up the castle wall.
Lois, with a refreshed face, as if returning from a light walk, placed the Orc Lord’s head in front of the Emperor.
Tuk-.
A head the size of the upper body of a decent adult.
It was strange to see him with his eyes open and blue, as if he didn’t know why he died until the moment he died.
The emperor’s complexion hardened, and the guard, Mudanjang, placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and stepped forward slightly.
The commander of the escort glared at Royce with tense eyes.
‘If the author is targeting Your Majesty… ‘Can I stop it?’
No matter how many times I imagined it in my head, the only conclusion that came to mind was that my body was torn apart by one blow.
An opponent to whom no attempt will work.
It was the first time he felt helpless since he became commander of the guard, but even so, he could not back down.
If a cult leader were to attack the emperor, he would throw himself away to buy at least 0.1 second of time.
Of course, the disaster he feared did not happen.
Lois said, shaking her hands and stepping back slightly.
“We dealt with the monster army as per the contract. “Did you check it?”
“… “I did it.”
The emperor nodded.
Even after confirming, it was so clear that I had nothing more to say.
How could you deny something that not only you but thousands of people witnessed vividly at the same time?
Lois’ smile deepened at the emperor’s answer.
“Then it is time for His Majesty to fulfill his promise.”
“The fee for the contract is… … .”
“Oh, you can pay it back slowly later. What I want now… … .”
Lois’ eyes sparkled.
“This is the return of the sacred item you took away.”
“… “I will bring it to you as soon as possible.”
“no. Please bring it to me right now. And if there is a problem with the shoes… … .”
Royce’s unfinished story.
It aroused the emperor’s fears.
‘What would happen if there was a problem with the new product? … .’
The emperor sighed at the warning that the rest was left to your imagination.
And I was relieved.
‘You’re so lucky you didn’t kill Samuel.’
Marquis Samuel is still alive.
If he was the one who personally planned to steal the relics, he would be the perfect target to blame if something goes wrong with the relics.
The emperor shook his head as he remembered Samuel trapped in the dungeon.
“… It will take time. “Please wait a moment.”
When the emperor who said that winked, the guard Mudanwon, who understood what he meant, left the castle walls.
Exactly 30 minutes later.
The security guard carefully held out the colorful box he was carrying in front of Lois.
The emperor saw this and said:
“Take it. My current job… “I apologize again.”
“The apology is okay. However, if there is a problem with the new material… “You just have to take responsibility for that.”
“Well, that’s right… … .”
The emperor nodded.
And then I prayed in my heart.
Samuel, I hope that damn bastard doesn’t do anything stupid.
Lois took the box and opened it slightly.
Dalkak-.
A chilly air came out through the slightly open gap.
And then, vaguely visible inside is a fruit that resembles a pure white bone.
Lois’ eyes brightened as she saw that brilliant figure.
‘at las… at las!’
How long have you been waiting for this day?
It’s a whopping 250 years.
I thought I would be able to get the ripe fruit after waiting for so long… … .
What? He said his treasure was stolen by some tough guys.
After many twists and turns, I finally got my hands on it, so how could I not be thrilled?
‘So if I just eat this, I can grow up quickly?’
Lois swallowed dry saliva and looked at Growfruit’s mother and grandmother.
Whether there is a defect in the item or not.
An expert who has worked with elixirs for hundreds of years followed the evaluation.

So after a few minutes.
A look of relief flashed across Lois’ face.
‘Are you okay?’
Fortunately, there seemed to be no problem with the elixir.
Although it looked like the Empire had tampered with it here and there, there were no major damaged areas.
If it had been damaged to the point where its weakness was a problem, the system would probably have been blown away right here.
The Emperor asked with nervous eyes as he looked at Lois examining the contents of the box.
“Huh, how is it?”
“Well, there’s nothing wrong.”
“her… … .”
Have you ever been so happy to hear this one word in your life that there is nothing wrong?
The emperor, who was deeply relieved, instantly relaxed and almost collapsed.
If I hadn’t held on superhumanly, I would have probably collapsed.
Dalkak-.
Lois closed the box and put it back in her arms and said with a smile.
“The item was well received. “Then I’ll see you next month when the principal is repaid.”
“Okay, that’s it.”
“We are going.”
Lois waved her hand and moved the group through space.
So everyone leaves.
dump-.
“Your Majesty!”
In the end, the people around them rushed to the emperor, who collapsed on the floor.
The emperor stood up with support and spoke with a pale face.
“… “I want to rest.”
“I will take you…” … .”
The emperor thought that day.
Although it was only a short time, less than 10 minutes, today was the most stressful moment in his life.
Of course, that was just a slight illusion of someone who did not know the future.
* * *
Royce and the others returned to the church’s lodgings.
Their reactions were divided into two categories.
Favreau and the twins, Finn, are now unperturbed no matter what Lois does.
And those who have the exact opposite sentiment.
The Flame Brothers and Ravina belonged to the latter group.
“… … .”
Kendrick and Tania were dazed and their pupils were relaxed.
Their eyes never left Lois.
match-.
Lois clapped her hands lightly to wake them up.
“ah… … .”
“uh?”
Only then did Lois come to her senses and smiled at the flame siblings who were blinking.
“Did you see it well?”
The flame siblings hesitated at that question.
“uh… hmm… I saw it well… that is… … .”
“Honestly, I saw something so huge… “I’m not sure what it is.”
“What on earth should I do…” You can split the sun, right? What should I do… … ?”
The corners of Lois’ mouth twitched as she saw the flame siblings look confused.
‘What kind of talent would I have to split the sun?’
No matter how much Lois was, she couldn’t cut down the sun.
However, the texture of space was cut through accelerated time, and as a result, the separation of space and time occurred and the sun appeared to split apart.
‘Well, that’s not easy either.’
I had no intention of telling you that I knew how to do it.
So there is no point in personally stepping forward and showing an example.
His role was to raise a problem, and it was for them to find the answer.
Each in their own way.
Lois said with a humorous smile.
“so? “Is it okay if I don’t know?”
Lois was asking with her eyes.
Are you going to give up because you don’t know?
I didn’t teach you that way.
The eyes of the flame siblings, who had been confused by such an unspoken suggestion, cleared.
“no. If you don’t know… “We have to find out.”
“The teacher personally told me the answer… I will definitely find out! “How can we get there?”
Clearly, the level that Lois had shown was far, far away.
How much you have to train and how much you have to push yourself to reach it… … .
I couldn’t even figure it out.
However, the path I had to take was not as foggy as before.
In the hazy fog, I could clearly see the path to take.
‘The place where the teacher is is far away… It’s too far… … .’
‘I think that if I go step by step, I will definitely be able to reach that place. No, let’s chase after the teacher at least half the time!’
When the signpost that Lois set up pointed exactly in one direction, the siblings’ motivation, which had been fading for so long, flared up.
Lois’ smile deepened when she saw the two’s changed eyes.
‘Is a genius a genius?’
If it was an ordinary person… No, even if he was quite talented, he would have been frustrated by the insurmountable wall the moment he witnessed the blow that Lois showed.
But the flame siblings were different.
The two children, who were gifted with unprecedented talent in history, did not feel frustrated when they saw the distant wall blocking their path, but rather felt a sense of victory.
The flame siblings shouted energetically.
“We’ll come back after training!”
“Something… “I feel like I need to make a move.”
“Brother, let’s spar!”
“Okay, let’s do it! “I won’t see you today!”
“I’m not watching either!”
“… “Please take a moment to look at me.”
“Let’s go quickly!”
“Now, wait a minute… … .”
Tania, who showed excessive enthusiasm, dragged Kendrick out of the dorm.
Meanwhile, Ravina is standing blankly to one side.
There were traces of white saliva around her mouth.
It was a mark made because I was so shocked a little while ago that I opened my mouth without realizing that I was drooling.
Even though a considerable amount of time had passed, Ravina, still unable to recover from the shock, kept glancing at Lois.
‘monster… … .’
The inaction of tearing apart tens of thousands of monsters with a single blow was something Ravina had never seen before.
No, even throughout the history of the continent, how many people were there with such power?
‘Is it okay for me to stay here? … ?’
I couldn’t give up the butterflies and sat down, but now I’m starting to get confused about whether that was a good choice.
If you are hated by such a monster, there is no way you will not be cut into pieces like a monster.
Ravina got goosebumps and shivered.
Then I glanced around.
Soon, her vision caught a butterfly rolling around a ball of yarn from an unknown source.
Ravina, who was watching, slowly approached the butterfly and lowered her posture.
At the sudden appearance of Ravina, Nabi stopped what she was doing and looked at her.
In response, Ravina whispered softly to see if anyone would overhear.
“butterfly… “How long are you going to stay here?”
-Huh?
“You saw it too. that… That… … .”
I didn’t know exactly how to express the power Lois showed, so I said ‘that’, but the smart butterfly understood right away and nodded.
-Keuyung!
“Well, are you still going to be here? That scary person… I just… … .”
“Why don’t you inject some strange bullshit into Nabi before that scary me cuts you to pieces?”
“Hi!”
Ravina, who had been cowering, started the game and started kicking.
She hiccuped repeatedly when she saw Lois glaring at her.
“crime… Hi… Sorry… Wow… is!”
Ravina, shaking, hid behind Kani with tears in her eyes.
Even in that situation, the butterfly was busy rolling the ball of yarn and chasing it again as if something had happened.
As if it had nothing to do with him.
Lois shakes her head at that sight.
At that time, a large shadow approached him.
“I… Lois.”
Lois responded sullenly to Fabro’s voice calling her.
“why.”
“But are you really going to only receive 100 million gold?”
“… “Why do you keep asking me that since last time?”
“No matter how much I think about it, it’s so un-like of Lois.”
“What kind of robber am I? “Tear out everything that’s there?”
“… … .”
I had a lot to say, but I couldn’t bring it all out.
But they say silence is positivity.
Lois’ eyebrows twitched at the silent affirmation.
“This bastard… … .”
“I-I didn’t say anything!”
“That makes me feel worse. “Why aren’t you saying anything?”
“Then shall we?”
“try. “If you have two lives.”
“… “I won’t do it.”
Fabro, who was secretly aware of this, took a couple of steps away from Lois to save his life.
Of course, that wouldn’t have allowed him to survive, but fortunately, someone came to save Fabro.
“But really, why did you only receive 100 million gold?”
Carney asked, crossing Lois’ arms.
Khan also joined in.
“That’s right, I thought you would even pull out the pillars of the empire and eat them?”
“… “What do these people think of me?”
Carney giggled as he looked at Lois who was upset.
“Giggles, so what’s the real reason? Why did I only receive 100 million gold?”
Lois smiled and answered Carney’s question.
“Hehe. “Kani, you know what?”
“what?”
“This is the fear of interest.”
“Are you scared of interest?”
Well, how could a dragon that doesn’t know that it’s a debt know how scary interest is?
Lois began to kindly explain.
“At first, everyone borrows huge amounts of money even at high interest rates because they think they can repay it. But, the moment the interest payment becomes overdue due to even the slightest mistake… … .”
“Moment?”
“Your belly button will become bigger than your stomach.”
As soon as he finished saying those words, Carney’s eyes sparkled.
“aha! You can’t believe it… “What kind of trick are you planning on playing with that empire?”
“What kind of manipulation is this! of course… “I tried to do that for a little while, but there was no longer a need for that.”
“why?”
“Even if I don’t fall, the empire will fall into its own trap and fall on its own.”
“… … ?”
“Just wait and see, it won’t be long before the pillars of the empire are removed due to interest. “Hehehe.”
Fabro, who was looking at Lois’s sinister smile and muttering, ‘How is that any different from robbery?’, was struck in the back of the head and fell down.
Leaving behind Fabro, who was sprawled out on one side.
“Well, that’s it… … .”
Lois slipped her arm away from Carney and slowly moved away.
Twins and Finn.
And Fabro, who lay down and slowly raised his head.
When all of them tilted their heads, wondering why Lois was suddenly acting like that.
Lois took out a small box from her arms.
Dalkak-.
The box opened and a Growfruit was revealed inside.
For a split second, Fabro saw this and a look of regret appeared in his eyes.
‘That’s it… The culprit behind all this!’
In a short period of just over a month, all the events that threw the eastern part of the winter continent into chaos began.
Tens of thousands of monsters and snow kings searched the winter continent to retrieve just that one small fruit, and the empire stumbled.
How much human and material resources were consumed by this incident?
The amount that the empire needs to give right away amounts to 100 million gold.
In other words, the value of that small bone-like fruit is hundreds of millions of gold.
That small fruit quickly came out of the box.
Wow-.
It disappeared into Lois’ mouth in an instant.
“… her?”
Favreau could only gape at the absurd ending.
