< Chapter 79 - Java Work #4 >
&
Javawork of all kinds.
One of the seven great plagues of the future.
But not anymore.
I caught the bastard before it became a disaster.
“Yahoo yahhoo.”
Cordelia, who started jumping around in place – no, jumping up and down – cheered, and Uder quickly ran to Cordelia.
Thanks to the Java Walk being repelled, the shades that had filled the surroundings had also begun to disappear like smoke, so there was no need to run away to another place.
“I won.”
“Yeah! I won!”
As Cordelia laughed and shouted, she hugged Uther’s neck tightly. Uther felt rewarded for his haste and kissed Cordelia’s head.
“what?”
“You won.”
And you were the one who hugged me first in the first place.
Cordelia looked at Uther with a cold expression, but then smiled again.
“Okay! I did you a favor. I’ll let you off just this once.”
‘I think this time is a bit much.’
Yuder, who had been tackling her in his mind, secretly pinched Cordelia’s cheek once before continuing.
“How did you do it?”
“what?”
“I convinced the Fairy Queen. She came earlier than I expected.”
Because the situation was so urgent, Yuder was unable to decide on a policy on how to persuade the Fairy Queen and the fairies.
In other words, it could be said that it was all Cordelia’s ability that made her return so quickly.
How on earth did they do it?
“Hehehe, curious?”
“Oh, I wonder.”
“You’ll be very surprised if you hear it?”
“I am ready to be surprised.”
“Hehe, but it’s no fun if I just tell you, so guess what? What do you think I would have done? Huh?”
What would you do?
How would Cordelia have acted?
“Threatened to blow everything up?”
The first thing that came to mind was, of course, an explosion.
But Cordelia frowned and shook her head.
“Do I look that ignorant? If I do something like that, I’ll become enemies with the Spring Fairies.”
That was right.
Moreover, even the most childish fairies were likely to respond very seriously if threatened with their lives or residences.
If he had really threatened something like an explosion, even if he had achieved his goal, it would have taken much longer than it did now, and as Cordelia said, he would have become enemies with the Spring Fairies.
“Then what? Did you ask for it while giving me chocolate?”
“Hehehe, that’s not it either.”
Because fairies were children.
If you wanted just one thing, you could get it by giving chocolate, but if you wanted two things, even the fairies would start bargaining.
I did bring some chocolate just in case, but if I had just offered it, the negotiation would have taken quite a while.
“hmm······.”
“Oh, is the swindler in our house worried too? He can’t think of anything to do? Is that so?”
When Cordelia, who was more excited than usual, smiled broadly and acted gentle, Uder finally raised both hands and said.
“Surrender, surrender. I don’t know. Please give me your opinion, Madam.”
“Hehe, please beg me more, please beg me more.”
As Cordelia lifted her chin and began to exult, Uther hesitated slightly.
Because to anyone who saw it, it was Cordelia who was desperate to talk.
This is because I thought, why don’t we tease each other here for once?
“Well, then I’ll keep thinking about it.”
“huh?”
“I’ll think about it for a day or so and tell you the answer tomorrow. Until then, don’t talk about it. No spoilers. Got it?”
“Huh, one day?”
“Oh, one day. No. How about a week? I’ll ask you in a week, so don’t say anything until then.”
Cordelia wiggled her fingers and stamped her feet in response to Uther’s counterattack, and Uther, as always, made a really disinterested expression.
“Ughh …
“No, it’s okay. I’ll think about it. You don’t have to tell me.”
“No······.”
But Uther was unwavering.
Cordelia, who was even more anxious because of this, couldn’t help but groan.
“Do you want to talk?”
“Oh, no? I’ll just let it go.”
No. Looking at his expression, I could clearly feel the frustration and pain inside him.
So, Uther cast his fishing rod.
“Kiss me on the cheek and I’ll think about it.”
“what?”
“I’ll listen if you kiss my cheek.”
“Hey, do you think I’m stupid?”
“You can say whatever you want. You don’t have to tell me for a week, you can just never tell me for the rest of your life.”
Uther shrugged, and Cordelia wiggled her toes in her shoe before stamping hard on Uther’s foot.
“I hate you! I hate you!”
“really?”
“That’s really bad.”
Cordelia, who had become the Fairy Queen, grabbed Uther by the collar and kissed him on the cheek.
“Okay?”
“Oh, okay. Okay.”
As Uther spoke with a bright smile, Cordelia found herself laughing in vain.
“Hey, do you like it that much?”
“Oh, okay.”
Should I say that I can’t let go of my anger?
Moreover, Uder’s response was quick.
“Well then, Count, please tell me. I’m really curious.”
“You son of a bitch.”
“Is this an expression of affection?”
“Great motherfucker.”
Cordelia, who had cursed as much as she could, cheered and began to tell her story.
“I’m talking······.”
Cordelia started talking with a blank expression at first, but soon she started imitating the fairies with a very excited face.
It’s like a child coming home from school after receiving an award and telling the story of what happened at school.
“That’s what happened.”
After finishing her story, Cordelia glanced at Uther and quickly raised the corners of her lips.
Because Yuder had a blank expression on his face.
“Wow, really? Did you really do that?”
“Oh, I did that. That’s how I got the protection of the four seasons and Almas.”
Cordelia swung her hand again, summoning Almas.
Almas, which had a blue blade that could be stored on the user’s body, was an item that could be taken out and used whenever needed.
“oh my god.”
As they say, the blue bird catches the eye.
To be honest, Yuder was surprised.
I never would have thought that Cordelia, who even had trouble acting in Korean textbooks, would grow this much.
Uder applauded heartily in admiration.
“I respect you. You’re really amazing.”
“Hehe, praise me some more. No, praise me some more.”
“It’s amazing, it’s amazing. It’s no exaggeration to say that he’s a doctor of fairy psychology. I’m impressed.”
It was really a brilliant idea.
Not only did he completely control the childish fairies as he pleased, but he also tore things apart for no reason, yet they held no grudges against each other.
“As expected, Cordelia. As expected, Cordelia. The pride of heroic tales.”
“Hehehe.”
Cordelia felt happy because of the continued compliments, but at the same time, she felt embarrassed and blushed.
And so, for a few minutes, Uther and Cordelia were lost in their own world.
At first, Princess Laika was just watching, but as the story got longer, she had no choice but to get involved.
“Anyway, I won.”
Cordelia was startled and took a step back at Princess Lyca’s words, who had her face sticking out between the two of them, and Uder quickly reached out and supported Cordelia’s waist.
“We defeated Javawork. Completely.”
Princess Laika, who had spoken again, suddenly smiled.
The process of threatening the fairies and the lovemaking right before our eyes were both amazing, but in any case, both of them performed amazingly.
“Moreover, there were no deaths. This is truly a great victory.”
This time, Yuder was a little impressed by Princess Lyca’s words.
It was said that no one died despite the Javawalk’s powerful mental attack reducing their power by half.
Now that I look at it, it feels like there weren’t any serious injuries.
‘The next door sword master, indeed.’
Skills aren’t something that can be developed simply by investing time, so it seemed that none of the people present had reached the level of a Ten Swordsman in swordsmanship, but the fact that they were all masters remained unchanged.
To begin with, the Ten Swordsmanship was a realm that only selected superhumans could reach.
“Congratulations.”
Princess Lyca laughed out loud at Uder’s words.
It was funny to see the main character of the victory greet people in this way.
“Okay, since we won anyway, let’s all celebrate together first. Don’t just be happy for the two of you.”
Cordelia blushed at Princess Lyca’s words, and Uder held Cordelia’s hand tightly and looked at Princess Lyca.
“Let’s get started.”
“It’s a bit embarrassing to start something like this.”
Princess Lyca laughed and raised Mistiltein high and shouted.
“We have defeated the omnipotent monster Javawalk! No, we have completely destroyed it! It is our victory!”
“Woooooooooooooo!”
The elf knights cheered in response to Princess Lyca’s shout.
This is because, as Princess Lyca had said, she completely destroyed the Javawalk, which had become much more powerful than the royal records had stated, rather than simply repelling it.
This was truly a remarkable achievement.
‘Humans did most of the work, but even so, the princess is the one in charge of the punitive force.’
A deep smile appeared on Midas’ face.
In any case, this incident would further solidify Princess Lyca’s authority.
‘I like it.’
But at the same time, it also became a boundary.
Still a young human.
I don’t know her exact age, but if you were to count her as an elf, she would be around the same age as Princess Lyca, so how can she be so strong?
Midas, like Lord Cornwall who was guarding Princess Darian, was grateful to Uther and Cordelia, but he could not let his guard down.
But apart from this, the elf knights showed pure favor to Uther and Cordelia.
In particular, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the way people looked at Yuder had completely changed.
It’s because Princess Lyca is here. If they were alone, they would have been busy running to Yuder and talking to him about this and that.
Not only was what Uther had accomplished incredible, but to them, as elves, Uther was not a competitor; he was a stranger they could comfortably praise.
Of course, most people didn’t do any calculations and were just purely amazed and grateful.
In any case, thanks to those two, lives were saved.
“Count August Bayer and Count August Chase.”
“You can just call us Cordelia and Uther.”
When Cordelia spoke, Princess Lyca nodded and continued speaking.
“Then, Uther and Cordelia. We will now return to the royal palace in the center of the Eternal Forest. Won’t you join us? I want to convey your achievements not only to His Majesty the King, but to all the elves of the Eternal Forest.”
It was an invitation to the elven kingdom.
The princess does it herself.
‘What should I do?’
‘Of course I should go, right?’
Although it would be a bit late to go south, it was still worth stopping by the Elven Kingdom.
In the original, access was only possible after the Elf Kingdom had fallen, so there was no opportunity to see the Elf Kingdom still functioning properly.
‘And you’re sending me away empty-handed?’
‘Because you’re a hero who defeated the legendary monster?’
‘And saved the life of the crown princess.’
‘Come to think of it, I’ve done a lot of things that deserve awards.’
‘So you have to accept it. Accept it when you can, where you can, as much as you can.’
‘It’s a famous quote. I admit it.’
Yuder and Cordelia exchanged dark smiles while laughing and said as they looked at Princess Lyca in a friendly manner.
“I am honored to be invited.”
“Thank you so much.”
When the two people properly bowed, Princess Lyca looked at Cordelia with a slightly curious look.
Even now, I remember her making unimaginable threats to the fairies from the other world.
“Okay, we need to investigate this incident, and we also need to make sure that Javawalk has completely disappeared from the Cursed Lands, so let’s camp nearby today and leave tomorrow afternoon.”
It was already late.
The sun will set in just a couple more hours.
“I will listen to your words.”
“Yeah, you worked really hard today.”
Princess Laika, who had praised him in a princess-like manner, looked around and then gave the order once more.
“After recovering the remains of Javawork, withdraw! Do not let your guard down, as Shades may appear!”
“Yes! Your Majesty!”
The elf knights who answered loudly immediately took action, and Uther and Cordelia looked at each other again and smiled.
Just looking at your face made me laugh.
&
The investigation into the cursed land was progressing smoothly.
Because the Java Work of Manbyeon has been completely destroyed.
“The darkness of the cursed land itself is being lifted.”
Until now, the darkness of the cursed land had not been lifted because Javawalk had been defeated but eventually revived. But this time, not only the darkness, but also the evil that had taken hold of the land was being lifted.
Perhaps in a few days, it would become a place full of life like the rest of the Eternal Forest.
“Then the shades won’t appear anymore.”
“Yes, our people will be able to live here, and also in the lake of the Spring Fairies.”
In particular, the Cursed Land contained some fairly good quality ore veins.
If we could redevelop the mines that had been neglected because of Javawork and Shades, it would be a great benefit to the entire kingdom.
“You couldn’t find the reason why Javawork suddenly became stronger?”
“Yes, unfortunately… I couldn’t find any clues.”
Princess Lyca frowned at Midas’ answer, but her expression soon relaxed.
“Well, Javawork is gone anyway. It might not have been someone else’s doing, but rather something that just got stronger on its own. You don’t have to worry too much.”
“Yes, Your Majesty. Rather than rushing, I think it would be better to take your time and investigate.”
“okay.”
Princess Laika nodded, checked the time by the sun’s position, and asked again.
“What about Uther and Cordelia?”
“I am looking at the cursed land.”
“If you find something, you’ll tell me, right?”
“Probably so.”
After observing the two people over the past night, Midas concluded that they could be trusted.
“We should prepare to go back. Vanessa, tell the knights to pack their bags.”
“Yes, Your Highness.”
As Vanessa left the barracks with Midas, Princess Lyca sat down on her seat and slumped her shoulders.
Now that I think about it, I feel like I’m really going back, but I feel relieved and relaxed.
‘I’m strangely looking forward to it.’
What happened after taking the two to the kingdom.
Because they were humans who had visited the Forest of Eternity, and the palace at that, for the first time in five hundred years.
Moreover, they were heroes who seemed like they only appeared in stories.
‘That would be fun.’
Keltur would like that too, right?
Princess Laika smiled brightly as she recalled her younger sister’s face.
Little did they know what would happen if they brought the two to the palace.
