Chapter 44 – Hidden Peace
I hurriedly entered the permanent residence with Zeira. If nothing else, nothing should have happened to the little lord.
‘Because he’s the one who has to manage the estate on my behalf.’
I skipped the office and entered the mansion.
“Ugh, Zaun! Zaun, wake up!”
I heard Renata cry. When she entered the room, she saw a sickly handsome boy lying on the bed.
He was taller than me, and had a look that could easily put him in charge of an idol group’s visuals.
Of course, she didn’t have the probable appearance like me.
Her skin was pale, and the shadows under her eyes were corpselike.
Breathing was also weak. She looked like she would die if touched.
“Lieutenant Lord, what happened?”
Renata answered my question, wiping her tears.
“I don’t know. She went for a walk with her child, as always, when suddenly she coughed hard and she collapsed! The doctor said the symptoms got worse.”
“Huh, what?”
As far as I know, I thought the symptoms improved slowly.
“I’ve been walking and my condition has improved so far. Why!”
“Ah, no, ah…”
Jayra wrapped her head in despair. She is the only sister and the next lord of Zaun Gale Wars.
He was coughing as if he was about to die.
First I got close to him. Rescuing this guy was part of my plan anyway.
‘Hmm?’
I take a closer look, the Near her nose and mouthblack smokeI PowderWas buried As if someone had painted it with charcoal.
‘Weird. Where did I see that? Something familiar.’
As I stared blankly, I heard Renata holding back her cry.
First she reassured her.
“It will be all right, the lord.”
“Ughh, why does this marshmallow-like child have to suffer like this… !”
Uh?
I looked back at Zaun for a moment. It finally dawned on me.
‘Ah, the case the pastor had!’
She hastily pulled her iron case from her pocket. Then I took a marshmallow and threw it on the floor.
Grasp!
The marshmallow disappears after making a short popping sound, rising up an ominous black smoke.
Seeing this, Renata, Jayra, and the butler were shocked.
“Hero, is that?”
The butler asked, pointing to the smoke with a trembling hand. First of all, I talked about the inside story in detail.
I felt like I was going to run out of energy because I was talking in an easy-to-understand way. I had to do it though.
After the conversation, Renata looked down at her Zaun with her speechless face.
On the other hand, the cold Jayra was rather heated.
“It must have been the work of the church! I need to hit him right now!”
I never thought it would come out so emotionally. You really care about Zaun.
‘To reality Siblings like thisI don’t have one.’
The butler next to me adjusted his glasses and fell asleep. Like I saw something very dangerous.
“Wait a minute, this isKahlumIsn’t it?”
Do you know anything about this? It seems ambiguous to me.
Renata turned around.
“Butler, what is Kahlum? Wasn’t that the energy from the legend?”
Kahlum was an energy that existed only in legends due to the setting.. Foreign godIt originated from a hypothetical race called, and was said to be the power to kill the gods.
But, maybe it’s real.
“Kahlum, that’s ridiculous!”
Jayra also denied it. She took it for granted that suddenly something that had only appeared in legends appeared before her eyes.
But the butler was calm. He squinted his eyes and shook his head.
“As far as I know, the energy called kahlum actually exists. Of course, it’s just a name.”
“That, like that… !”
“In the capital when I was young Warlock’s AssistantThere was a time when I was there. That time Before joining the Imperial Special ForcesIt was… Anyway, I saw it then.”
What is this butler?
As an assistant to a black magician, from the Imperial Special Forces.
What makes your career so glamorous? Not even Alfred.
I was surprised by the butler’s remarks.
‘In the game and in the original work, Kahlum is only mentioned in the end, never directly. No, I don’t know because I haven’t seen the original story. It’s definitely never appeared in the game.’
It would be shocking if it actually existed. Even if it’s just a name, a kahlum is a kahlum.
But that Kahlum came out when Zaun coughed violently.
A sigh came out spontaneously. Maybe this was the reason Zaun was sick.
Excessive intake of kahlum.
Of course, only those guys know where it started and why it came to this.
Renata returned to her solemn face. She seemed to have regained her composure.
“So you’re saying that the Church of the Sin Reciter is managing Kahlum? At least we figured out that there is a connection.”
“That’s it.”
As I agreed, Renata shuddered with anger. She was nothing else, she touched a nobleman’s son. Those of the pseudo-church, too.
“Immediately search the territory to see if there are any people related to the person who recites sins!”
Renata instructs the butler. Shall we go from here?
“As far as I know, deputy lord, the church has recently been active in neighboring territories.”
“… On Weaverpool Manor?”
When the story of the neighboring estate came out of nowhere, everyone seemed surprised. It was because there was a misunderstanding that Weaverpool would be safe because it was a city of engineers.
“Yes. Even Lord Weaverpool is ostensibly busy beating them up. Anyway, I’ll find out. Personally, I’m curious about them.”
Jayra grabbed my arm. I guess I want to hold back.
“What to do? What are you doing alone, dangerously!”
“Don’t worry. I’ll call you if needed. We’re not picky!”
“Kkanbu… ?”
“Ah, partner, partner.”
Showed friendliness. She and I are partners From the moment they mixed their bodies, it was their destiny.
Renata pondered for a moment, then she nodded slowly.
“Yes, let it be. But we won’t sit idle either. Even today, if you are a member of the Order of the Sinners, you will not be allowed to set foot in the territory!”
It was natural.
Even in reality, certain religious people who spread the plague were stopped.
Of course, there was a lot of backlash, but it had to be.
The same was true of certain nationalities. They get angry at you for blocking them, but that’s something you know for yourself.
Advice to Renata.
“Agent Yeongju, this case may be more serious than I thought.”
“It seems so.”
“If the reason the little lord got sick is because of Kahlum, then the symptoms must have gotten very serious already.”
“Then, I thought I had seen improvement so far… ?”
“I think it might have evolved more viciously after going through a kind of incubation period. Can’t you see the traces of Kahlum here on your nose and mouth?”
“Looks like you came out coughing. This evil substance was eating my son!”
Renata and Jay were also furious. The butler rested his chin on his chin and sighed.
I also hoped it wouldn’t get any more serious than this.
When the little lord dies, eventually Renata or Jayra or I have to become the lord.
That was bad.
When someone is locked in a certain spot, they can’t even go on a sex trip!
“I will definitely find a way to heal the little lord.”
He said indignantly and opened the door.
“Lash!”
Someone called but didn’t stop. Couldn’t stop.
Zaun, you must live. I know you’ve been struggling for a long time.
But hold on a little longer. You’ve endured well so far, so prove your worth in the future. Show and Probe!
I left the mansion and headed out of the manor. He remembered the Hidden Peace nearby.
‘Where was it?’
Among them, I wondered where the item that would cure Zaun’s disease came from. Um, are you there too?
〈 Apostle, where are you going? 〉
“I want to get some help from the goddess this time.”
〈 Oh, did you finally come to your mind? Whoops, you can’t do without me!〉
Even the proud goddess contributes!
“I’m going to find some dungeons this time, because they’re hidden dungeons.”
〈 You mean to find it. Where?〉
“Wait a minute.”
Call Rin first.
“Kee-hee-hee!”
I rode Rin and climbed Pelegor Hill. I looked around and ran southwest.
Pajik Pajik! All over!
It ran through the wind with a light sound. I guess this is why people can’t throw away their motorcycles.
I love this maddening sense of speed! But our Rin is the best!
I continued to run until I reached a ridge where I could see a swamp in the distance before I stopped.
Today’s destination was not a swamp.
“Goddess, it must be around here. Is it possible?”
〈Whoops, this world was originally MineIt was! I will look for it.〉
Decided to wait But something stirred inside her body.
“Hmm?”
Energy like mana, but not mana, started gushing out of his body.
It felt like a power I didn’t know was welling up.
‘This Goddess Power?’
He lost his strength and memory. Like this?
For a moment, I even had the illusion that all the blood in my body was filled with energy.
After about two minutes, the goddess spoke.
〈 found. I don’t know if it’s where you want it, but I’ll show you.〉
Keying!
I looked around. I could see certain areas glowing gold.
Found it, there it is!
“Thank you.”
〈 But how do you know this? 〉
I’m actually an icebreaker. Goddess, when this work is over, we will have a wedding on Earth.
I couldn’t say that, so I put it around in moderation. I’m a little sorry.
“I heard about it while training when I was young. There will be a dungeon nearby.”
〈 I see. 〉
We headed towards a place blocked by a fallen tree on the ridge. Even at this moment, it was shining intensely in gold.
He drew his sword and swung it at once.
Kagagagak! Great!
As soon as it split open, the space beyond it distorted and a large oval-shaped door appeared.
It was the entrance to the dungeon.
Sigh, laughter came out.
“Nice to meet you, Hidden Peace! Goddess, thank you!”
〈 Hmm, just words? 〉
“Later Outdoor sexLet us come! You can even go on a one night date naked!”
〈 Anyway Horny male dogIt’s the same! So that’s good, but… ♥〉
He immediately threw himself through the door. With a feeling of being sucked in suddenly.
The surroundings changed in an instant.
I came to a certain desolate ruins. In addition, information on dungeons that were overlooked earlier was also displayed.
