Chapter 940 – Naunet (7)
As I cut away the memory of the Tentacle Kannon, my vision opened.
No, would it be a bit awkward to say it was open? A river flowing proudly against a dark background that feels shady and damp. It’s like the river Styx in Greek mythology comic books.
“Are you still in Naunet’s body?”
I hesitated as I tried to comb my hair.
My hair, which I thought was wet from swimming, was soft.
‘It’s really similar to Shade’s dream.’
I took out my watch. A little over 10 minutes left. Unfortunately, it didn’t seem like it would last very long, but it wasn’t a big drawback.
‘Because I can come back.’
Anyway, this mud seemed to be useful.
It would be even better if Veronica kept it. So, I was about to go outside, but I was worried about where Mandisa was doing, so I picked up the window again.
Aroused excitement Odin’s eyes saw the current.
─Suddenly!
When I cut through the river, my body fell to the bottom, and the place where I fell while pouring water was a ruin. The ocher-colored walls were pyramids I had never seen before.
The burn-scarred adventurer looked at me and narrowed his eyes.
《Nord Wolfheddin? Is it fantasy?”
“I am myself. I came in too.”
It’s old, evidence. I made hand signs like a ninja and slightly manipulated her shadow.
It also didn’t fit well with my aptitude. Well, dark and yin mana and shadow are similar but different. Not to mention Mandisa is not a warlock, so of course this is a kind of martial art.
“You are right. It was an unpleasant identification method.”
“I’m sorry. So what are you doing?”
《I was looking at my past.》
“If you’re safe, that’s fine. Shall I go back?”
《… Stay here So that I don’t change my memories to my liking.”
Are you asking me to be a witness? I looked at my watch and replied that I would know roughly.
─Ugh.
However, the state of Mandisa in the past was very muddy.
A hole in the side and half of the face where the ooze was flowing!
It was an adventurer who was seriously injured by anyone’s eyes. What caught my ear was a golden plate. Now she seems to be the newbie she was in her adventurer days.
“May I ask what the situation is?”
“This is a pyramid discovered 10 years ago. At the time, it was a place that seemed like someone had already broken it since it was discovered, but it was enough to attract adventurers.”
Could it be the ruins of a half-and-half rich man after he took the pharaoh’s throat?
Still, it seems that the items were left behind, perhaps because they couldn’t afford to take all the treasures with them. How he knew it was because Mandisa from the past was walking, dropping treasure like Hansel and Gretel.
《I came down with my party members and encountered a strong ghost-type undead. We fought, I was hurt, someone had to sacrifice. It was my choice to become the bait so that my friend could escape.”
“Still, you seem to have survived as well as you could.”
The place where Mandisa arrived in the past was in a secret room.
It seemed to be a place away from the core structure of the pyramid, but it was still a good place to recuperate away from monsters and adventurers with low personality.
Maybe an altar?
Ancient, no. It felt like the folk religion of the age of gods. Said Mandisa.
“I was able to handle shadows back then. This assassination technique is also advantageous for survival. With one bottle of remaining potion and God’s blessing, I survived… He said.”
《… Is it ‘Hadeo-kun’?”
Why do you speak like speculation or word of mouth? I wondered for a moment.
It was only after listening to Mandisa’s words that I noticed.
“It is said that after wandering here for four days, I returned to the ground on my own. It seems that he found other adventurers, revealed his identity, and passed out.”
Mandisa crossed his arms and saw his past self.
“But I don’t have any memories of this time.”
Chulpuk, Chulpuk—!
The sign appeared like a child running around with wet shoes.
-Uu?
It was a child with a body of blue liquid that flowed like a river and emerald eyes.
—… I learned this old story as a story when I was on the night watch.
Mandisa, who was walking along the wall, laughed.
—Is it a fragment of Naunet that was sleeping in the ancient ruins? If you survive, you won’t be able to get a drink even if you talk about adventure… Coke, I don’t think so.
—Uuuuunn!
Naunet understands human speech as a cry and spreads its arms like an animal that recognizes its own name. A being whose gender was also ambiguous came running, stomping her feet.
—… Uuh?
Naunet caressed her wound carefully. It’s not just therapy. Naunet doesn’t have that ability. Mandisa coughed and collapsed.
As if not surprised, Naunet laid such Mandisa on her lap.
—Cough, Cough… One thing, can I ask you a favor?
Mandisa said with a pale complexion. The wound on her side, which had been bandaged and suppressed to stop her bleeding, burst open again, but very little blood came out crying out.
—The dark elves talked about you. Once upon a time, at the bottom of the Yatrau River, there was a spirit that granted the wishes of the dead who drowned in the river.
—Uuy.
─Please. Can you pass this dagger to my comrades? It’s something that the damned aristocrat needed to inherit the legacy of his ancestors, so if he couldn’t take it, he’d have trouble… Coke, Coke.
Mandisa, whose dry cough never ceases, despite speaking without interruption.
She held out her commissioned dagger, and Naunet accepted it without hesitation.
─It really works. Be curious
Mandisa laughed dejectedly, as if the ghost story extermination method had worked.
—Thank you, Spirit-sama… Oh really. I should have tried the inn’s kebab and come back.
-Uw?
When Naunet, who had been looking at her scabbard, turned her face again, her lightly smiling Mandisa stopped moving.
—… Uu.
Earth prison… Naunet’s watery hands closed her eyes.
But it didn’t end with her eyes closed. Like a river, some type of ideal energy flowed from her corpse’s body.
─Stupid.
Naunet tore off her own flesh.
It was not a metaphor, it was actually a cut of her body, and the cut water twitched and took the shape of a human woman. She is an adventurer woman who has even recreated her clothes and scars.
Her drowsy clone of Naunet took her equipment and dagger.
She and she climbs her steps like a sleepwalker, to the ground.
The adventurer’s clone with healed burn scars passed through the cage.
The same burn scars overlapped and then fell off.
Mandisa, with her arms crossed, remained expressionless.
Koo-ung!
With the lockdown closed, Mandisa’s corpse and her Naunet were left in her hidden room.
Could she have breathed all of her remaining power into her flesh? Naunet did not move any further. She cradled her corpse with her severed body, and her god-age being fell asleep.
《There is such a tradition in the Yatrau River》
Mandisa said without taking her eyes off the pool of blue water and the two of them turning into mummies submerged in it, as if time had sped up.
《There is a legend that families who fell into a river or went missing come back alive after the rainy season. The overflowing Yatrau River restores the soil, but many people die in floodwaters.”
《Is it a flood?》
«I——The dark elves trained by Mandisa knew many legends thanks to their long lifespan. The story of a spirit that takes care of the missing under the river and returns them to their families after the rainy season is over is a legend I heard during my training.”
Shoot ah-.
As Mandisa turned his foot, the water rose. We came up to the ground
─Mandisa! You’re alive!
─Oh my God, it’s a miracle! Hathor has taken care of you!
Mandisa loses consciousness. The party members who support them and go back.
“It’s not that I didn’t want to admit it. It’s just that the Dark Elves, who easily controlled my shadow, couldn’t even find me hidden there, let alone control my shadow from this point on.”
“So you were surprised?”
《Of course. The shadow is proof that the soul bows to the radiance of the sun god. The shadows of the dead cannot exist. If the non-existent dead are hiding in non-existent things, how can they see through?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. As long as it doesn’t become a god who presides over death.”
In fact, I know without even asking. Because the analysis was completed through Odin’s eyes.
It’s just that this Mandisa is a human clone. I guess I didn’t know this.
Mandisa let out a long sigh.
“After the suspicion arose, he distanced himself from his colleagues as well. The relationship that was so close has become distant, but what can I do? If I were a fake, how dare I call myself their colleague… But with this, the suspicion has been cleared.”
“What are you going to do next?”
“My very existence is a lie. I even faked my intuition as a revelation from God. It was late when I came. After death, I plan to continue lying until the day I receive the punishment.”
Shaking her head, she swung her plainclothes sword. There was an exit in the torn water.
《If you paid the price while you were alive, it would be no different than putting a knife through the chest of the real Mandisa’s comrades. Punishment or mercy, it would be right for me to handle it alone. One guy seems to have noticed that I’m different from his colleagues.”
“You noticed? Who are you talking about?”
《The lord of Mahal. The guy who participated as a real Mandisa’s colleague, snatched that dagger from the middle, and was crowned as a nobleman. I jogged his memory and imitated his tone, but I noticed it was fake.”
Oh, is it that shabby nobleman? What did I find out when I went to sell golems?
I slapped my forehead when I saw the mandisa walking away.
Well, for an ordinary aristocrat, he was physically macho.
《Can I leave Anaxunamun and the other cloned humans?》
“You can’t ignore it. Just take a few handfuls of mud. I intend to show the truth and apologize. It’s a relationship, so if we get together, we’ll be able to do anything.”
“If that’s the case, try persuading the lord of Abizu-Sorg first. Now that you have your nose pierced and the bean pods used, if you do well, you might have a reliable ally.”
“Do you have a stuffed nose? That’s a funny expression. Note.”
It’s great, lord man. The married woman you fell in love with is a virgin milf!
I wonder what will happen to them in the future, but with me, it’s a relationship that only brushed the collar. Wasn’t it a superficial and inexpensive meeting between us?
A relationship that doesn’t want to do anything more, or take care of it again.
‘That’s why I don’t intend to mess around.’
I don’t know if it’s a contractual relationship. I flicked the paper.
“Still, if I can give you one last piece of advice, it would be better for you to be friendly with Mr. Anaksu-namun even if you get upset with the lord.”
“Why? She is a penniless, invincible person.”
“Because if you lie, you will be punished. I lied a little to trick my wives, and the investment money I threw in the name of an ajumma was sucked in.”
I presented her with her carefully-kept IOU–an investment in an amusement park.
《… Kuck, Kuck! Haha! Are you serious?! You want to play a joke with this amount?!”
“Yeah. I’m fucked up. Accusing it of being fake is like killing a person to save a few pennies, and saying that it is real means that you have to pay back the investment?”
Chuak, chuak—!
He squatted and rummaged through the mud in the current.
I found a few pebbles and picked them up. These stones were the memories Naunet had absorbed. There was also a memory of an investigator dispatched from the Astrewan League.
I put it on my forehead like a rune stone and read the memory.
“Our Mr. Anaksunamun is said to be an investment genius with ‘rumors’ and ‘speculations’. If you have a conscience, please tell us to cooperate with the development of our amusement park and attraction of investors.”
Aren’t they born from human memories?
The investigators seemed to think of Anaxunamun as ‘A noble who is trusted by the family head enough to invest this amount of money must be an investment genius!’
So, that lady must have a great talent for finance.
Just as the Valkyries are masters of combat, even creatures have different specialties.
《I will do that. But, by any chance, do you have a hobby of reaping and embracing the losers who have nowhere else to go? Even Nefertiti would be a good example.”
“It would be embarrassing to say yes, but when I was in school, I was tired of volunteering for 80 hours each. It’s just an extreme gain.”
And did the third year say that our Nefertiti was a loser with nowhere to go? With veins sprouting from my forehead, I patted her back as hard as I could, pretending to laugh like a bold macho.
Haha! Haha!”
– Bang bang bang!!!!!
“Keep it… !!》
Mandisa was launched forward with an overpowered beast chump chump chump long hit. I answered her question by shaking the palm of her hand.
“A good scholar should lead poor undergraduates.”
I’m a master’s silversmith, but aren’t professors and graduate students one and the same?
Therefore, Kang Buk-ho, a forage macho, could be said to be a shepherd in another world in the 21st century, who guided her lost lambs in their thesis and job hunting.
Being the successor of the God of Death, who gives rest to the dead, is a job that can’t be done if you don’t do it lightly.
***
He sent Mandisa to Anak Sunamun and rode in her chariot.
“Senior~. Naunet’s mud is stored like this!”
“What the fuck. The rap was so fucking good. Is it canned?”
It was the wives who put the dimensional wall and processing on the clay pot.
Even if you call this jar an ancient artifact and sell it, it will still sell. There are 2-3 powers in it, so even if it’s a holy relic, it’s not a scam.
Loki was sobbing on the couch.
“How could this be? Shouldn’t it take 1-2 months to get rid of Naunet? My ploy to buy as much time as possible before entrusting myself to a mad surgeon… ”
“If you keep doing that, everything that gathers your faith will go to you.”
“Hee hee profit… No… The silkworm cocoon is… “
Shall we spin and play? Shall we spin and play?
As I giggled and teased Loki, Veronica hesitantly intervened, like an overdue office worker trying to stop a fight between her boss and the landlord.
《What is Naunet’s mud going to be used for?》
“There are several. The quickest thing is to ask if you can help with Loki’s treatment.”
Other than that, I intended to use it to help me become stronger.
It’s still a mystery how strong it will become. Because? I’ll be embarrassed if I try to explain it with a fucking pomp and fail. It won’t be too late if you tell me after you succeed.
So, because of Loki, I couldn’t even get the services of my wives—of course, the rotation of two people never stopped—I arrived at the headquarters of the Satis Church.
And that morning.
─Flash!
Shining light, Satis descended before us. I said raising my hand.
“Hello! It’s already the third time I’ve seen you!”
—… Yes. Now I’m dignified and nothing, me.
That’s right what
Originally, it was said that charisma is hard to bounce back once you fall.
