Chapter 150 – Chapter 37. The Oath of Obedience.
The four warriors left Eutrapencia. Gunda’s eyes were dim all the way, as if he had no regrets about not meeting the new Kurd. Still, since he was promised to visit the capital at some point, he had no choice but to promise that time.
After leaving the city like that, they ran for a month and a half more, and finally arrived at the capital.
Anyway, this was a separate mission created by the imperial family, so there was no need to go all the way to the Hall of Fame. They dispersed to their respective nests.
Ji-hyeok also returned to the mansion after almost half a year. Immediately, colleagues ran out and congratulated the hero on his safe return.
Seeing that the mansion was a bit empty, it seemed that the Mafush team had gone on a mission and hadn’t returned yet. Lizardman Kayak reported the details.
“Oh, and the Heavenly Horse Guild has established itself in the capital.”
“… Okay?”
That was good news. But there was also bad news.
“It seems that His Majesty the Emperor is a bit critical. … That’s why the atmosphere in the capital city is so vicious right now.”
This was something Jihyuk knew. Still, there were still about two years left before the emperor’s death. Originally, the body could not last for half a year, but he was forcibly prolonging his life with healing and medicine.
There was a crown prince, but since he wasn’t in the red, there was a lot of noise. Of course, the other princes and princesses who were already intoxicated with the taste of power were not watching idly.
From now on, the division of warriors will accelerate. Jihyeok thought to be prepared so that he would not be swept away by this strong wave. … Still, since Princess Ganesha is firmly standing behind Ji-hyeok, it is unlikely that stupid people will come and poke her.
Hearing that Jihyeok had arrived, he visited the Mansion of the Heavenly Demon. The warrior prepared a nice dinner and enjoyed the dinner with his colleagues and the Heavenly Demon.
“La Rocha is also scheduled to take this test.”
Apparently, there was no way to get a recommendation letter, so it was said that Larocia was attending the academy herself. Ji-hyuk also thought that it was better than using shortcuts and getting caught.
The first day of my return passed like that.
Jihyeok visited the Hall of Fame early the next morning. Then he swiped through the shelves in the mission archive, looking at the missions. Then he finally found the mission scroll he was looking for.
It was a mission related to the Cursed Tower. The goal is to purify the tower.
The mission had already risen to 60 points after a year had passed since the B-class hero had failed once. In the 14th car, I challenged this mission when it was 80 points. That’s two years later than now.
There were a total of six Cursed Towers on the continent. Each tower had a different level of difficulty, and the demons on the top floor were all different. Two of them were cleanly subjugated, but there are still four more left.
Apparently, the mission was notorious, so it was avoided among the warriors. I have an easy mission, but I don’t want to take on a difficult one. At least, a high score of 80 or higher was required to get some attention from the warriors.
The place Ji-hyuk is going to take on this time is the place where the dream queen is. Actually, the two were pretty deep. In several ways.
Anyway, this cursed tower was a mission that could not be overlooked because it was directly related to the summoning of the Great Demon King. But now that the level of the team has risen considerably, it wouldn’t be bad to take charge of it.
The Cursed Tower needed to be prepared more meticulously than other missions. So he thought of making a plan thoroughly from now on.
The biggest problem among them is the dream queen.
Anyway, even if she killed this bitch, another dreamer would take her place, so it was meaningless for her to end it with just killing her. So she tried making it into a cockpit in the 14th episode, but simple physical restraints proved to be ineffective.
It can’t be killed, and even simple physical restraint is impossible…
This is what came out after much thought.
… Then what about complete submission?
The oath that demons use—-.
Since the dream demon is also an existence based on the magi, the oath must be effective. … The question was whether it would be effective when the caster was an ordinary human.
There was no point in struggling with this unresolved problem alone. I needed an advisor. So what came to mind was Ludwigne’s mother, the witch Jeanne.
Jihyeok immediately left the Hall of Fame and headed for Jeanne’s mansion. This time he also visited secretly through the back door.
“Your Excellency!”
The witch was quite surprised by the unexpected guest. A welcome look appeared on her face.
“I’m sorry. He came without a message…”
“No. Your Excellency is welcome to visit us at any time. Come in.”
Jihyeok entered the witch’s house. The place was still full of the smell of herbs. He sat down in her chair, took the cup she handed her, and took a sip of the tea.
“Did you come here for something?”
“I have something to ask you.”
“Shall we change seats?”
“I will.”
It’s kind of a secret thing, so it’s good to be careful. So Ji-hyeok went into the alcove where she guided her.
The door slammed shut, and the two looked at each other, relying on only one candle.
“Tell me.”
“You… , You know the oath of obedience, right?”
“Yes? … Ah yes.”
“If the caster is a human, will the oath work?”
The caster is human?
First of all, since he had never seen or heard of such a case, the witch could not give a clear answer. In the first place, she had never been asked about an oath of obedience. So I was a bit perplexed.
“That, I don’t know. … But, why… ?”
Jihyuk put a spit on his dry lips once.
“Only you know.”
“Yes, I will definitely crack down.”
“I’m going to write an oath of obedience to the dreamer.”
ㅡㅡ!!
“I wonder if that will work.”
An oath of obedience to a dreamer?
Hearing the name dream horse, it was only natural that lewd imaginations first come to mind. But I didn’t think the person in front of me would dare to do that. I’m sure there’s something going on
“It is not because of my selfishness. … There’s something I can’t tell you. Please understand.”
“Of course. I never think so.”
“How is it possible?”
“That… , I think I need to find out. It’s hard for me to answer right now. I don’t know too much about the oath of obedience.”
Of course, Jihyeok expected that it would be difficult to hear an answer right away. Even witches need time to figure out this and that.
“Okay? … How long will it take to find out?”
“Give me three days.”
“Okay. Then I will come back in three days.”
“Yes, Your Excellency.”
The main story ended like that. Jihyeok brought up a personal story.
“When I arrived yesterday, I heard that Ludbine left with Mahushu… Did you finish school?”
“Yes, I graduated. She said she became a teaching assistant.”
“Okay? Great thing.”
“The professor held me back and told me not to leave. I heard that there is no magician in the alchemy department who has risen as much as Ludvine.”
Depending on whether or not there was a successful person, the department’s status changed little by little, so from the professor’s point of view, Ludbine was no different from a very precious jewel. So she must be struggling to get hold of her somehow.
Jihyeok and Jeanne laughed heartily.
“Good.”
“Yes.”
“Are you not in any uncomfortable place?”
“Yes, I am very healthy.”
“Isn’t it a bit lonely to be alone? Now that she’s raised her daughter…”
The witch’s eyes were a little surprised.
“… Yes?”
“If you want, I will find a good marriage partner. … Since you are so beautiful, men will line up.”
Jeanne smiled awkwardly.
“No… , It’s okay.”
“Okay? … I’m sorry if it was my backcountry.”
“No. I will engrave your kindness in my heart.”
“Thank you for thinking so.”
Jihyeok stood up from his seat. Jeanne quickly got up and followed him as he left.
“The tea was good. Then I will come back in three days.”
“… Yes sir Take care of yourself…”
So Jihyeok left.
The witch’s eyes, looking at his back as he left, took on a vague light.
· · ·
After passing his dissertation on double casting not long ago, Yayel finally became an associate professor. He was given a lecture on theoretical studies as a liberal arts subject, although it was not a regular subject.
Quite a few students from various departments gathered at the word that there was a young and pretty genius professor.
Of course, there were often male students who fell in love with her beauty and courted her. However, she coldly refused anyone who was her opponent. Among them was the son-in-law of a prominent aristocratic family.
Anyway, her class started with a lecture and ended with a lecture, without a single joke. So her students fell off day after day. So the class proceeded with only the last 10 people left.
… And on this day as well, Yayel entered her classroom with a cold and haughty expression and continued her class.
As she was chattering about this and that and drawing something of her own on her blackboard, she suddenly slid open her back door cautiously.
“Students who arrive late are penalized. What’s your name?”
Associate Professor Yayel asked as he scribbled something on the blackboard without even looking.
Then the late student answered.
“This is Kang Ji-hyeok, Associate Professor.”
The hand that was writing the letter stopped abruptly. The eyes of the students were focused. There was no one here who did not know the name Kang Ji-hyeok. As such, he was one of the great celebrities in the capital.
The whispering voice grew. But Yayel didn’t show any signs of panic on the outside, and called out quiet–as she tapped the table with the palms of her hands.
“Lesson, let’s go on, okay…”
Yael’s voice trembled.
She tried not to look where he was sitting. If I see the captain, I think I’ll run there right away.
Associate Professor Yayel, a perfectionist, made many mistakes today. Every time that happened, she felt ashamed to death. It’s obvious that she’s just nervous. The sinister laughter of the students also bothered me. I know why the associate professor is like that—because I feel like that.
Time that normally passed by so fast went toxic slowly today. Yayel even broke a cold sweat on his forehead.
Originally, the great man, who would have filled up until the appointed time, finished class with a long time left today. No matter how urgent it was, Yayel accidentally couldn’t even talk about the assignment. It’s only the students who have caught on, well.
Just like that, the academy students suddenly left, leaving only the hero and the associate professor in the classroom. He got up and slowly came down the stairs. Yayel stood on the podium, at a loss.
“Hey, blind…”
“You should penalize students who are late, Associate Professor.”
Yayel bit his lower lip. Jihyuk laughed heartily.
“Can I kiss you?”
Upon hearing that, the assistant professor couldn’t stand it and rushed at the hero. The two shared a passionate kiss.
It wasn’t until Yayel finished kissing that he realized that students were crowding at the door of the classroom watching. Associate Professor Yayel’s face instantly turned red.
“Hey, hey kids!”
Ahahaha-.
They laughed and ran away, as if they had a good spectacle. Yayel quickly went out into the hallway and shouted loudly.
“All of you are bakers, bakers!”
Jihyeok grinned and took her belongings and came out into the hallway. He asked, holding it out to Yael.
“Assistant Professor, can you show me around?”
Yayel looked up at Jihyeok and lowered her eyes, shyly tucking her flowing hair behind her ear.
“… Yes, chief.”
Yayel, who had been blaming her for coming to the academy to fall in love, didn’t know how to let go of Jihyeok’s cock in her associate professor’s office.
