How to Survive as a Player Chapter 273

#Side Story <Eternity, the Beginning> 1

“So, does it really work?”

“Oh, that’s right! Wow, you tricked me like that and now you don’t even believe me. No, Lord, how could you do this to me? yes?!”

Sehyeon quietly looked at the indignant man squatting in front of her. The man grunting in front of Sehyeon with his mouth sticking out was Iobel, who had now become a full-fledged intermediate blacksmith.

This is the vassal who gave s*x education to the tribe without even dreaming that Sehyeon was a Lord.

Even if he now knows that Se-hyeon is Lord, he was completely unaware of Se-hyeon’s identity until the final battle.

It’s possible that we’ll bump into each other at least once along the way, but unlike other vassals, there was no such coincidence with Iobel. Therefore, even when Sehyeon stood in an official position and commanded the vassals, Iobel remembered Sehyeon as just a vassal who was immature and ignorant about castles.

The face I saw as soon as I found out Sehyun’s identity. It looked like Munch’s Scream.

So, for a while, Sehyeon had to snoop around the weapons refinery as if he was watching and went to apologize to Iobel. And from then until now, Se-hyeon often came to Iobel for advice when there was something secret that could not be said.

“In essence, the Black Heavenly Clan is said to have weak wings. Just crazy… In fact, there is no part of the body as delicate as the wings. So, isn’t everyone talking about weaknesses? But if you touch it again, it’s very good for your body.”

It seems like a lie. Sehyeon looked with suspicion at Iobel, who narrowed her eyebrows and spoke with emphasis. Nevertheless, Iobel spoke passionately alone.

Muan, who was standing at a distance in the distance, had a disapproving look on Iobel’s face, but Sehyeon had asked him to do something, so he did not approach where Iobel was.

Iobel, who was explaining things by drawing pictures on the floor as if lecturing, put down the branch and looked proud after explaining it to the point that the floor around her was completely empty.

“However, since the rod has delicate wings, it would probably be impossible to receive it, even if it is possible.”

“What is the standard for being so soft?”

“Yeah… Well, if you just look at it… .”

Iobel trailed off as she glanced at the white wings hanging down on the ground. I wonder what the Grand Duke is doing these days, and as the days go by, the Lord’s wings become more colorful. Just looking at it made many of the retainers’ faces turn red and clear their throats.

Even though Rod’s wings were neatly aligned, he would suddenly tremble alone. As if asking to be touched. Hey, I’m doing that again. I wondered why they did something like that to make people heat up in this warm weather when there was no wind.

Iobel fanned her heated face and secretly clicked her tongue, wondering if Lord would now be locked in the room for violating public morals. In Iobel’s life, such wings were unique and had never been seen or imagined. The shock of that day when she first saw Lord’s wings still lingered in Iobel’s heart.

“Uh, anyway, the load is too much. Maybe it won’t be possible in the future? In order to communicate, the tip of the collar must stand stiffly, but the rod… no way… .”

Sehyun stared at Iobel with an expressionless expression as she waved her hands, then pulled out her wing, held it in her hand, and pressed the tip of the feather. Iobel’s face instantly turned red. She had a look on her face that made me think she would have been killed if she had at least drank some water.

“What, what, what are you doing?! Just go somewhere and do that! “It’s not the road that’s the problem, it’s the other guys who are being arrested!”

There are so many people who are so fascinated by the wings that they want to lick them!

Whether or not Iobel jumped in surprise next to him, Sehyeon checked the elasticity of his flexible wings. Of course, after a while, I completely relented and shook the feather out of his hand.

“Then I guess I’ll have to do it by hand.”

“yes? Hands? hand? Ah, yes… . Well, then the tears disappear. “It must be more dangerous, so why don’t you know?”

Iobel scratched the back of her neck and replied harshly. At that time, Keppel’s cave-like voice was heard calling Iobel from afar. Io Belle jumped up from her seat at the call that felt like her fist was going to fly.

“omg! Uh, load anyway. I’m busy so I’ll just leave! And, load! Please proceed carefully! Do you know how much our hearts pound every time we fall?!”

Iobel was walking along, but as if she was getting angry, she pointed to Sehyeon’s black knees and said. The anecdote of Sehyeon using dragons to fly into the fortress was widely spread throughout the empire. The problem was that when I landed, I always lost my footing and fell.

Therefore, the daily routine of the retainers these days was to check Sehyeon’s knees to see if he had fallen or was injured. It was not unusual for legendary-level vassals to sacrifice themselves to receive Sehyeon. Sometimes, they rolled together, but on the days when even one of Sehyeon’s wings broke, the retainers went without food or drink for a week.

As this continued a few times, Sehyeon also gave up flying these days and continued to lead a quiet life of walking. Moreover, just today, I failed to land again and received help from Muan.

“Okay, don’t worry.”

“See you next time, Rod!”

Iobel gave a quick greeting and ran out of the bushes toward Keppel. Keppel, with his eyes lit up, glanced at where Sehyeon was, but that was all. Iobel, who had been hit on the back, had to be dragged to the weapons refinery while being held by his backside.

Only then did Sehyun shake himself off from where he was sitting and stand up. Shaking off his mud-covered wings, Sehyeon stretched out his hand towards Myuan, who was approaching in one step.

“Muan, shall we take a walk and then go to Ruhark?”

“yes. I am… great.”

A shy smile was visible beneath the long robe. Muan secretly reached out and held Sehyun’s hand tightly. The penetrating warmth was as warm as the spring sun.

Sehyun was the one who took steps first. Muan also began to walk slowly, following the connected hand.

It was a perfect day for a walk. Although it is a warm place all year round, Behia also had seasons. Spring and fall usually stood out. However, spring came only once a year.

And now was the season of spring, when flowers were in full bloom. Wherever I looked, flowers and butterflies caught my eye. Owl was so fascinated by the fluttering butterfly that he chased after it.

“Muan, I heard you’ve become a lot closer to Mr. Owl these days.”

“Yes, Rod. We don’t communicate well, but… He listens to me well. Things like worries. It’s impossible now, but I definitely want to acquire interpretation skills later. “I also want to listen to what he has to say.”

The eyes hidden inside the robe sparkled like a child chattering about something he liked. She finally made a friend even in Muan, who did not get along well with other vassals. That was Owl.

It seems like only yesterday that they were greeting each other, but over the past five years, Myuan and Owl had similar calm personalities, so they seemed to feel comfortable with each other, so they spent a lot of time together. And they came to rely on each other, inviting each other to their dorms and spending time together reading books.

It was a huge improvement for Muan, who had difficulty getting along with others.

“Then, shall we go see Mr. Kwak Jeong-han and Mr. Awl?”

“Yes, everything is fine with me Rod.”

Accompanied by a smiling Muan, Sehyeon passed through the long garden and headed toward the lake. The area around the lake, with its fishy smell, was very different from before. The biggest change was that the previously murky lake became noticeably clearer.

It was all because Kwak Jeong-han and Owl developed the ‘Purification’ skill.

“The water is clearer than last time.”

As expected, Kwak Jeong-han and Owl were walking in the lake. They were responsible for cleaning the lake, eliminating ecologically disturbing species, and breeding and managing fish.

It was also their job to directly purify the wastewater coming out of the empire along with the purification station. As the empire grew, more and more things returned to Kwak Jeong-han and Aul. Even though I spent my days without waking up, I never had any complaints. So I felt even more sorry. I feel sorry for coming to you like this.

“Mr. Sehyeon.”

The two people, who figured out Se-hyeon’s presence like ghosts, cut through the splashing water and approached the ferry. The gently curved eyes reflected infinite trust and affection for Rod.

“Sehyun, were you taking a walk?”

“Frog.”

“Yes, Mook and Will are taking a nap at the moment.”

Se-hyeon sat down at the end of the ferry and stroked Kwak Jeong-han and Aul’s cheeks. Their body temperature was as cold as the bottom of a lake. Perhaps because they were only in the lake, they felt as cold as midwinter.

“I think I’m taking too much care of Mr. Kwak Jeong-han and Mr. Aul. He also feels like an evil business owner.”

“no. “It’s something we have to do, so don’t worry about it.”

“Croak, croak.”

“Mr. Aul says he is glad that he has something to do. Just being able to contribute to the empire is enough strength for us, so don’t worry about it. Moreover, Aren’t Kim Gap-jun and Gong Jae-woo both doing great things in their positions?”

As Kwak Jeong-han said, everyone was working hard at their jobs now. Gong Jae-woo, who is pursuing the development and manufacturing of air crafts, and Huey, who showed his talent for sculpture and fell into the workshop. And even Kim Gap-jun, who is teaching about the empire to the new villagers.

Everyone spent the day doing their jobs. It was the peaceful and cozy life that Sehyeon so desperately wanted.

“But when we both rest, we rest properly. All I hear is that you stayed up all night at a lake somewhere. “The lake will be closed for the time being.”

“… yes.”

“Dog, dog… .”

Se-hyeon, who smiled at Kwak Jeong-han and Owl, who answered in awe, hugged them once and stood up. The wind that rushed in like a damp swell quickly cleared away.

“I’ll go. “Don’t skip lunch.”

As I spoke in a whisper and turned around, I heard the sound of splashing water behind me. Leaving behind the faint sound of the water, Sehyeon walked again on the grass swept by the wind. When he raised his gaze, a flowery breeze blew over the bridge of his nose. In the distance, a castle could be seen at a great height. Sehyun focused her gaze on where Ruhak’s office was.

After looking at the place hidden in the faint clouds for a long time, Sehyeon took the hand of Myuan, who had been exchanging eye contact with Aul.

Slowly, it seemed like it was time to go to Ruhak.
