I’m not going to die - Chapter 113

113 – Carrying on death (2)

“What if?”

[Very simple, no big risk. Instead, it’s just a little uncomfortable.]

To say it very lightly than I was prepared for, it was rather ominous.

So, what the hell are you talking about?

[Just as a person needs to sleep, you will have to achieve death instead of sleep to pay for the life you have already drawn.]

“I see what you mean.”

The plan proposed by the great devil was more manageable than I thought.

But there is something to look out for.

If you die, how long should you be dead?

And instead of having to be dead for a year or two at the longest, if you spend your sleeping time dying, how long will it take?

[Cannot promise.]

“…Then I’ll have to bear it.”

Nod.

Rather than dying for a long time and waking up, it was right to be active properly.

In the yard where any danger might come, I couldn’t continue to die.

He nodded and proceeded with the contract.

And as I felt this time too, the Great Devil did not ask for a price for the death that could not have been achieved using the gloves.

I questioned it, but didn’t comment on it.

There’s no way the Archdemon wouldn’t know.

I wondered if they weren’t getting paid simply for fun, or if there were other reasons.

And as soon as I had a question, the Prime Devil read my thoughts and answered.

[already… . Because I received it.]

“When and what?”

[It wouldn’t be fun if I told you.]

Then, without answering properly, the Great Devil crushed the space of this world.

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying inside a comfortable room.

When I managed to raise my motionless body, Asher was sleeping next to me.

It didn’t bother me that Asher was by his side.

Because he was that kind of guy.

I was a little reluctant to wake him up because he was sleeping so deeply.

“How long have you been dead?”

I moved slowly because I wanted to check the time.

When you go outside, the cold air hits your lungs.

Since he hadn’t left the north yet, it didn’t seem like a long time had passed.

Breathing in the cold air, as I tried to move, I saw a familiar figure.

Just- just-

There was a girl who moved forward with a cane on the floor.

I couldn’t help but call her.

“Vero.”

“Ahh…!”

She was taken aback by my voice and panicked.

Then it goes in the direction the voice came from.

However, it was still difficult to move properly, so anyone could see that the gait was unstable.

I approach first and hold her hand.

“…Are you okay?”

“That’s okay. Everyone treats you well and takes good care of you. More than that, you’ve really woken up!”

“I’m not dying.”

Nod.

Still, it was strange to see her rejoicing at the fact that I had been brought back to life.

In some ways, it could have been a better fate for Vero not to meet me, but why is he following me like this?

I still feel it, but I couldn’t understand the human heart.

I hold her hand and start walking quietly through this snowy field.

“Come to think of it, don’t you have any other family in the castle?”

If she had a family, she should’ve taken care of it, but she didn’t specifically mention it.

That doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a family, or that it’s not a good relationship to have.

“Oh, well, you don’t know much about Mine culture.”

“Do they have their own culture?”

“There’s no specific connection to family. You’d be right that there’s no concept of family that humans refer to.”

“Right.”

Nodding his head, stepping on the snowfield and moving forward, there was someone he suddenly saw.

The swordsman stood over there with his arms crossed.

As if you were waiting for me.

“Are you here?”

“yes.”

In front of him was a kettle boiling slowly over a campfire.

Geomseong brewed tea leaves on top of the glass and felt the taste.

Then he handed me a cup of tea.

“What car?”

“It’s not a particularly special car. It’s a cheap car that you can buy on the corner of the market here for a few bucks.”

Is it a simple consumption that is not like a swordsman?

And then he added.

“But if there’s something different about this tea, it’s that it’s snow-melted water.”

“…is it that special?”

There must be some sensibility, but I don’t think there’s anything special about it.

Snow is snow, and when it melts, it just becomes water.

“But I can make it special, as long as I take this snow unmelted and take it to the capital.”

“Why is that?”

“Because there is a demand for nobles who want to be extravagant.”

The swordsman gave a little more explanation.

“It doesn’t snow very often except in the north. So there are not many opportunities to see snow, but to go to the north you have to go through a rough journey. Therefore, wealthy nobles do not melt the snow in the north to meet this demand. Bringing it to the capital, seeing it, touching it, and having the luxury of making tea with it.”

“I don’t really understand.”

“Neither do I.”

Geomseong overturns the tea he brewed and pours it on the floor.

“There’s nothing special about it.”

“But did you try it yourself out of curiosity?”

“There are nobles who drink tea with snow brought from the north every day, so I was curious.”

…that doesn’t make any more sense.

Water is all the same anyway, so what difference does it make if you melt the ice brought from the north?

You can only eat it once, but especially if you drink it every day.

“That’s not important, but I have some news to tell you first.”

“What is it?”

“First of all, the crown prince has lost his power.”

That’s as planned.

In a situation where the political position was already smashed, the last card to use was the peace treaty, but the protagonist of the peace treaty became a warrior.

Even if we didn’t do anything in particular, the crown prince was in a situation where he would be taken down on his own.

“Since the Crown Prince, who was in charge of the deputy government, has been dismissed, the King, who had been standing back, showed his face after a long time.”

“Has the king done anything?”

“That’s the problem.”

The swordsman took out the facts that had been revealed through investigations.

“The Black Magic Tower, the Undead, and you are also related, so there’s no way you wouldn’t know, but our family found out that the royal family had studied immortality for a long time. So we know what the current situation is like.”

Realize that what he is saying is serious.

“What is it?”

“The King is old, and the Dark Magic Tower has collapsed.”

“I must be in a hurry.”

The old king was about to die, but his lifelong wish of immortality was already ruined by the collapse of the Dark Magic Tower.

Normally, it would be correct to give up and focus on abdicating the next throne.

It seems that the old man’s ambition was very strong.

“I couldn’t figure it out exactly, but it seems that the king had strong water. In order to continue that last remaining life to the end.”

“…Have you ever joined hands with the Demon King?”

“Perhaps.”

He sighed deeply.

It was certain that the demon king would move, and he acted one step faster than I expected.

After confirming that I had jumped out of the seal, another method was used.

The royal family, which had been trading so far, was properly moved.

And that the royal family moved.

It is said that a crisis has come, not only for me, but also for my family.

“I have two bad news.”

“I will listen.”

“First, your family was accused of treason.”

expected

The best weapon the royal family can use is to expose them to the grave crime of treason.

Even if it was difficult because the crown prince was a deputy, it was possible for the king who had held the throne for a long time.

“Evidence from unknown sources has come out and is strangling your family. Right now, my family is protecting you, but we don’t know how long it can continue.”

“Thank you for that. What next?

“Secondly, the executor is here to arrest you.”

In fact, the two are a bundle.

It is a bomb that no family can resist moving to the executive department while being charged with treason.

There are various problems to think about here, but if there is a big problem first.

There was a being here who was loyal only to the royal family.

“Fortunately, the Sword Master promised to remain neutral.”

“That’s fortunate.”

Apparently, the Sword Master sees it as his duty to protect and protect the royal family, and will not assist in accusing him of treason and enforcing it.

Considering his disposition, maintaining neutrality was not unusual.

“What are the others doing now?”

The swordsman thought for a moment and then answered.

“I am resting.”

“Mmm.”

something was a little strange

Are you resting?

I knew the situation was urgent, but I couldn’t stay still.

Due to their personalities, they must have moved to do something more.

The Sword Master snorted at my appearance and then spoke.

“In the meantime, the bones and flesh have actually been ground, so I need to recuperate so I can fight properly.”

“Recuperation? Did you get hurt somewhere?”

If you are seriously injured, I understand.

But when we met after returning, no one seemed to be hurt.

When I couldn’t understand his words at all, the Sword Master stood up first.

“If you listen to what kind of training you’ve been through, you’ll know.”

Even as he said that, something haunted the Sword Saint’s eyes.

Even if he showed normal emotions even if various things happened, he was showing feelings that were tied up somewhere.

…what the hell happened while I was gone.
