Resurrected Immortal 427

Chapter 427 – 427. The Man Who Longed for a Hero (2)

At the words of Gerard, who had suddenly revealed his intentions, the other three party members, including Eunhyun, also remained silent.

“…”

Riod and Agies didn’t pay any attention to Gerard’s words, as if they had nothing to do with each other, but Illyana looked at Eunhyun closely while waiting for Eunhyun’s answer.
Externally, it was known that Riod, a son of a noble family in the kingdom, was leading this adventurer party.
The actual leader of this party was Eun-hyeon.
It was not that he was deprived of power, but because he readily admitted that he was not a vessel and gave up the leader’s seat to Eunhyeon.
Externally, he took the lead because it was more justified for him to step forward as a son of a nobleman, but Riode always sought advice and opinions from Eun-hyeon in his adventurer activities, and admired Eun-hyeon’s unquestioning ability to make rational decisions. .
That’s why it was always Eun-hyeon who decided whether or not to recruit new party members.
Eunhyun, who was silent for a while and stared at Gerard’s face, eventually smiled and nodded at him.

“Good.”

“I-really… ?”

It was Gerard who was surprised by the consent that was given so easily.

“Okay.”

I couldn’t understand this situation to the point where I wondered if it was a dream, but Eunhyun’s meaningful smile, and the small sighs of Riod and Agnes, were also really subtle.

“From tomorrow, I will move along with your training.”

“Ah, I see!”

Gerard, not even expecting what was about to happen to him, just smiled happily and nodded his head.
And when the next day came, what kind of training he would undergo, how much he would grow, and full of anticipation, he felt Gerard’s heart, which had been burning with passion, grow cold.

Clap!

“This, this… ? Something… ?”

Seeing the iron handcuffs on his ankles and wrists, Gerard asked Eunhyeon with a bloody expression on his face.

“From now on, you will wear this and march.”

“Nice…”

As he removed his hand from the iron handcuffs Eunhyeon had worn, Gerard involuntarily groaned as the colossal weight of gravity pulled his body to the floor.
Seeing Gerard struggling with this weight, Eunhyeon didn’t care.

“First of all, you need to have basic stamina and body to build a body that can withstand training.”

This is just the basic training for it.
Originally, it is standard to build muscle strength through steady exercise for several months or years, but Eun-hyun’s party did not have the time or leisure to settle down in one place and raise Gerard alone.
If he wanted to become stronger, Gerard had to follow suit according to the circumstances of the party.
Gerard understood the meaning belatedly.

“This… Are you training?”

“It is quite famous. Have you heard of the dragon ball training method?”

Although Eun-Hyun took a playful attitude by mixing strange jokes that she couldn’t understand, she showed a very serious side about this training.
Gerard’s expression hardened at the simple, ignorant training in which he had to endure and walk all day long with an unimaginable weight that betrayed Gerard’s expectations of what kind of training he would receive.

“Can’t you?”

“…”

It’s easy to say you can’t do it and give up.
But I couldn’t bring myself to say it.
If your eyes are not mistaken now, the adventure with these people is an unmistakable genius opportunity for you as a newbie.
She had a strong feeling that she was being tested.
It was because Eunhyun had the expression ‘If you can’t do even this much, give up right now.’

“I’ll do it.”

Gerard, who hesitated, chose to move forward rather than give up after much thought.
There was a little break in the middle, but Gerard gritted his teeth as he felt a throbbing pain in his legs that grew heavier as time passed.

“Big…”

Illyana turned her head and glanced at Gerard following her, then pulled Eunhyun’s arm and spoke in a low voice.

“What are you thinking?”

“What?”

“Why do you want to raise him?”

She wasn’t trying to recruit skilled adventurers, and even to Illyana herself, who was unfamiliar with fields other than magic, Gerard didn’t seem to have any special talent.
Illyana had no interest in whether a newbie or a veteran joined the party, as long as it didn’t get in the way or cause a nuisance.
Illyana’s feelings for her were stronger in her doubts and curiosity than in her displeasure.
She was just curious about why Eun-hyeon cared so much about him, as she was really just a coincidence.

“Illyana. Do you believe in fate?”

“… What?”

At Eunhyun’s unexpected question, Illyana frowned.

“I am a horse. I believe that fate exists. Maybe that guy caught my eye, that the guy who would tell me to teach me a skill showed up and helped me. Maybe it’s fate think.”

“… What are you talking about Do you really like men?”

“…”

Receiving her completely unexpected question, Eunhyun’s face hardened in shock and she turned around at Illyana.

“Why don’t you answer me? Talk fast do you like men?”

“… I was talking very seriously right now. Why do you talk like that? Does it matter?”

“Uh. It’s important to me. Very very.”

Illyana’s face hardened and radiated an infinite sense of intimidation, and it felt quite menacing.

“… Do you like girls?”

“Okay? That’s it.”

Unable to lose Illyana’s mind as she let out a sigh of relief, Eunhyun let out a small sigh at her.

“So? What kind of fate all of a sudden?”

“Just. I thought maybe there was a reason why that boy met me like I met you guys.”

Looking up at the sky, Eunhyeon suddenly remembered the people she had a relationship with.
Meeting them, now meeting a boy named Gerard, and now traveling with Riod, Agnes, and Illyana were all predestined fates.

“So for me, meeting you, Illyana, is fate.”

“… What?”

“Couldn’t we have already been destined to meet?”

“…”

Illyana was dumbfounded by Eun-hyeon’s words that came in unexpectedly, and she couldn’t answer.
As a result of continuing the march with breaks in between, the day began to set, and Eun-hyeon’s party began to prepare for camping once again.

“Keugh… !”

As soon as the camping tent was finished, Eun-hyeon glanced at Gerard, who collapsed on the ground as if his legs were weak, and immediately spoke to Agnes.

“Heal Anies.”

“Uh.”

As expected, Agies immediately bent his knees and squatted down to help Gerard take off his boots.
Enduring the weight of the shackles and handcuffs, blood pooled in the toenails that were torn and swollen.
Not just feet.
The calves, thighs, back, and shoulders all overcame Gerard’s body with fatigue and excruciating pain due to the recoil he had suffered so far.

“You can’t make it complete. After all, getting used to pain is also training.”

“Yeah. Yeah. Do you mind?”

Agies breathed divine power into Gerard’s body even though he had a sad expression on his face.
As Eunhyeon said, rather than curing the wound, it was to speed up the recovery of the wound.
Agnes was also well aware that it was a process for new muscles and flesh to grow on the torn muscles and injured skin and to become a stronger body.

“Ruler.”

“… Thank you.”

Gerard bowed his head after accepting the bowl of meat cooked over the campfire from Eunhyeon.
The meat seasoned with fragrant spices was very tender even though it was grilled outdoors.
Eunhyun’s training itself is very arduous and difficult, but other than that, really pleasant consideration continues.
To be honest, if it hadn’t been for Agies’ prayers for recovery and the rice cooked by Eunhyeon, I might have gone crazy with the series of painful training sessions.
Thinking of this meal he always receives after training was the only hope that made Gerrard overcome the pain of training.

“Black… Whoa… It’s really delicious.”

It was so delicious that it brought tears to my eyes, but in the eyes of others it seemed so strange.
He thought that he was barely sane on the verge of going crazy, but from the perspective of others, Gerard was already a victim of Eun-hyeon’s training.

◆ ◆ ◆

“Older brother. Are you looking good these days?”

“Does it look like that?”

At the greeting of Gerard, a guest who unexpectedly visited the dungeon house, Eun-hyeon smiled and asked back.

“Yes. Aren’t you a lot happier than you were at least 20 years ago? It’s a dungeon, but I built a house like this and settled down and live…”

Gerard continued with a really envious expression.

“You have three wives, don’t you?”

Besides, I noticed that Erin also had similar thoughts, but she didn’t say anything about this part.

“Hey…”

Even though he said it himself, he became miserable and poured the drink he had brought with him while visiting the mansion.
Originally, it was expensive alcohol brought to drink with Eunhyeon, but Eunhyeon was not in a situation where she could drink alcohol now.

“Gerard. This is the workshop.”

Currently, in the underground workshop of the dungeon house, Eun-hyeon, with the help of Emilia and the dolls, was manufacturing potions to supply to Jis’ general store.
These potions, which are created through an accurate combination of ingredients and an automated manufacturing process, are effective and are provided at a very low price, making them useful to adventurers active in the Duchy of Armitas.
It is used for first aid to prevent the deterioration of wounds, for restoring mental exhaustion due to extreme consumption of magical power, and for restoring personal stamina.
In fact, if you find out the inside story that he started a potion business to restore his body, which is extremely consumed in stamina by dealing with his wives every night, it is an absolutely laughable happening.

“I am really envious. I also want to meet a good woman, settle down in one place, and live a happy life.”

“…”

But Gerard did not listen to Eunhyun.
It’s a strange complaint that you make when you’re in a good mood with a little alcohol.
He grumbled when he was in a good mood. If anyone heard him, he might have tilted his head, saying it was strange.
Knowing the psychology of Gerard, who had no time to enjoy a private life while secretly tracking down the remnants of the empire while hoping to settle down in one place, Eun-hyeon smiled bitterly.

“Did you come to ask me something?”

“…”

In response to Eunhyeon’s question, which jumped right into the main topic, Gerard grumbled and hardened his pathetic expression.

“I came because I wanted to discuss something.”

“Hmm.”

Even Eun-hyeon was well aware that Gerard’s business, which came secretly through Eleanor, was not simply to drink and complain.
Eventually, Gerard took out a gold-colored bead from his bosom and held it out to Eun-hyeon.

“That…”

Eunhyeon naturally recognized the identity of the large marble that could not be filled even with the palm of her hand.

“Judging from my older brother’s reaction, as expected, this item is exactly what I guessed.”

Immediately, like Gerard, his expression hardened and he looked at Gerard’s face and asked.

“Where did you get this?”

“It was obtained five years ago while robbing the secret hideout of warlocks while tracking down the remnants of the empire.”

“…”

After hearing Gerard’s explanation, Eunhyeon stared at the marble on his palm with a hardened expression.

“I think I know what your business is.”

“Yes. I want to process this marble and use it for myself.”

To grow one step further by swallowing the inner layer that purified the magical power of the divine beast giraffe and using the power of the divine beast in a human body.
After hearing Gerard’s decision, Eun-hyeon hardened his face.
