00321 None ———————————————— ————————=
Since I knew from the beginning that there was someone behind the door, I quickly moved my hand and grabbed the shiny horn. And as I looked down, I saw a baby unicorn hanging by its horn in my hand. The guy was staring at my face while hanging on, and then his eyes started to look bright.
“A long time.”
“Kyu-kyun-kyun!” “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
I said hello lightly. But what was so sad about it was that the baby unicorn responded with a loud cry and immediately started waving its four legs in the air. The momentum was so great that I bent down on one knee and lowered him to the floor. However, I immediately regretted letting it go.
“Kyuakkyun! Kkkkkkkkk! “Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!”
“Hey, hey.”
“Kyukyuk, kyukkikyukkyuk? Kkukkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?!”
“Ah Okay. for a moment… . Hey, hey!”
The baby unicorn’s subsequent actions were astounding. As soon as I put it down on the floor, it ran towards me as if it had been waiting, and literally started causing trouble.
The baby unicorn was circling around me and jumping up and down, as if it thought it was a puppy. In the meantime, it stabbed the animal with its horns and beat its body with its legs, until it was thrown on the floor and started to struggle.
It was like watching a child run wild.
“Why is he like this?”
“… “I’m sure it’s because I’m happy to see you.”
Suddenly, I raise my head at the sound of a beautiful tone coming from in front of me, and I see Baek Han-gyeol standing shyly. When she, or rather he, made eye contact with me, she gave me a weak smile and then spoke in a refreshing voice.
“When the clan lord wasn’t around, I was completely deprived of food and drink. Then he was relieved to see that he was safe… . “Maybe that’s why?”
Hearing Baek Han-gyeol’s explanation, I looked at the baby unicorn with new eyes. The guy was lying there gasping for breath, as if he was finally out of breath. As I slowly stretched out my hand and picked up the baby unicorn, it finally showed a calm demeanor and rubbed its face in my arms. I gently patted his soft, warm back.
“Kyu…” . Wow… .”
“ah… . oh my god… . “I guess she really likes her older brother.”
“The kid is cute~. Yuni~. I’m here too… .”
“Hmm. “Let’s just go in.”
I calmly walked into the clan house, feeling my face getting warmer from the happy looks pouring in from all around me.
Eventually, I passed the garden and took a quick look until I reached the lobby, and found that the clan house was in the same condition as before. It was proof that they had not been negligent in their daily maintenance despite my absence.
The moment I was about to say that I should go straight to the conference room with a satisfied heart, I suddenly noticed faces giving me earnest looks. Everyone looked tired, clearly showing that they wanted to rest quickly.
Given my current mood, I wanted to immediately go to a meeting to discuss measures, but I calmed down right away. The three people who escaped from the Mule together were in need of rest.
It is also said that the remaining clan members must have been going through a lot of emotional distress, and had been forced to march all week. Even I felt a little tired, so I didn’t have to watch the video to see what other people were doing.
‘It would be better to just solve the problems we face and give ourselves a break today.’
After changing my mind like that, I looked at the vagabonds brought by the clan members.
“Everyone looks like you’re having a hard time, so I’ll just give you brief instructions and let you rest for the day. For now, leave all the vagrants in the lobby. “When Go Yeon-ju returns, I plan to take action myself and then confine him to the underground training hall for the time being.”
Perhaps relieved by the news that they would have a day off today, the clan members began to put down their tramps with a look of life on their faces. Since the magic circuit was damaged anyway, I was no different from an ordinary person, but I still thought about taking basic measures just in case.
But that was something that could be done after Ko Yeon-joo returned, and we must not forget to take care of the old man and Shin Jae-ryong.
“And what will you and Shin Jae-ryong do? Even a simple meal or a tour of the clan house… .”
They both immediately shook their heads at my words. Since I also asked out of courtesy, I immediately told Lee Yu-jeong and Shin Sang-yong to guide me to the temporary lodgings.
The clan members began to move busily as soon as the instructions were given, as if they wanted to finish their work quickly and rest. While watching them, I slowly laid down on the chair placed in the lobby. Then, I suddenly felt tired.
*
The next morning. After getting enough rest for the day, I called Vivien as soon as I entered the office.
There were a lot of things to do, and it was necessary to weigh priorities among them. And the first priority was to deal with vagabonds. Since Vivien had been so confident on his way back, I thought I would hear about his method.
1. Baek Seo-yeon and the treatment of vagabonds (information, reprint)
2. Construction of an underground training ground prison (as a simple transplant. If not possible, easy demolition.)
3. Settlement of tramp equipment (distribution of equipment to clan members after settlement)
4. Old man, Shin Jae-ryong (Meeting with the old man, proposal to recruit Shin Jae-ryong after the meeting.)
5. Understand the situation (continuously)
I looked at the records on the desk and turned the quill in my right hand. It was a habit I always did when my mind was complicated. Since I had to settle these issues before I could decide on my next move, I decided to deal with them as much as possible during the meeting scheduled after meeting with Vivien. It was then.
smart!
“Kim Soohyun. “I’m going in.”
The sound of a door being flung open was heard along with a distinctive sonorous voice. When I took my eyes off the record and looked up, I saw Vivien walking in gracefully. Her expression was full of arrogance.
“Vivien la Clacidus. 30 minutes have passed since the call. “Why are you so late?”
“iced coffee. Calm down, Kim Soo-hyun. “I think I know why you called me, so I had something to prepare.”
“Ready for what?”
“I have some business to do at the warehouse. But I can’t go in, right? “That’s why I’m a little late because I had to ask Go Yeon-ju for a favor.”
Now that I think about it, Vivien came in holding something in both hands. Anyway, she bobbed her chin to tell me to sit on the sofa at her table, and I also got up from her chair and walked towards her.
After sitting down facing Vivien, I immediately opened my mouth.
“Then let’s do it. Last time you said there was a way, right? “Tell me in detail.”
“huh? Anyway, wait a minute. “Look at these first.”
Vivien tilted her head for a moment and then began to sort out things. Eventually, I frowned slightly as I looked at the items being placed one by one on the table. Marvolo’s instructor’s journal, Marvolo’s potion set, and the rotten fruit of Yggdrasil. The items she brought were previously obtained during an expedition to the magical city of Magia.
Vivien summoned Ordo of Order one last time, and then tapped Marvolo’s instructor’s journal with the tip of her staff.
“All the answers are here.”
“So what answer? “Don’t be anxious and speak quickly.”
“Hehe. It’s urgent. First of all, there is something I wrote in the book, so please read it… . “Oh, are you able to interpret our language?”
Vivien scoffed with a strange smile. I think she was quite happy that she was able to exert such authority over me. I quenched my appetite and picked up the book. Then Vivian showed her hesitation and she grabbed the other side of where I was holding.
“Hey, can you read? “Could you read it?”
“no. I can’t read everything. Anyway, give it to me first. Even if you can’t read it, let’s at least see what they’ve done.”
To be precise, it was ‘da’ rather than ‘da’, but it was a bit of a lie. You could tell from the fact that I brought this book, but Vivien withdrew her hand with a half-confident look on her face.
They say all the answers are here. I looked at the book with excitement. There were many parts that Vivien had folded, but what stood out was the part where she had folded half of it.
When I opened it straight away, I could see a record written in round handwriting on the blank side of the paper. At a glance, I could tell that what she wrote was different from what Marvolo wrote.
‘Hehe. I’m looking forward to it.’
With my heart pounding, I calmly began the analysis. First of all, from the very top… .
[Kim Soo-hyun ♡ Vivien]
‘… … .’
I closed the book right away. I didn’t even dare to read any more, because for some reason I felt like I had to.
Vivien was biting her nails with a worried look in her eyes. For a moment, he wanted to hit his head with a book, but he barely opened his mouth, repeating that he would endure it.
“Vivien. “Let me ask you one thing.”
“Uh, huh? uh… . “Mu, radish, radish, radish, ask.”
“Yes, you… . if… .”
“Uh, uh, uh, uh, yes.”
“You’re not planning on teaching Baek Seo-yeon, are you?”
At that moment, I could see numerous expressions passing through Vivien’s face. She blinked her eyes, looking dazed for a moment, then immediately corrected her expression and answered.
“After a while. no. That could be one way, but it’s a difficult way. “I think there is an easy way.”
‘It’s the easy way.’
The moment I heard Vivien’s words, I felt strength coming into my eyes. When I think about it, she was a clan member who always did more than her share, and she never betrayed my expectations. Feeling the excitement that had been dying out rekindle, I quietly stared at Vivien.
“Then tell me the truth now. “What on earth are you going to do?”
Vivien seemed to have read the sincerity in my tone of voice, moved her neck once, and then slowly parted her lips.
“okay. Let me start with the conclusion. First, I can brew a potion that can destroy the spirit of that woman named Baek Seo-yeon.”
“liquid medicine? “You can brew a potion that can affect the mind?”
“of course. But wait a minute. Let me tell you in advance, human mental power is not an easy field. Not every situation can be solved with just one potion. “I hope you listen to my story with that in mind.”
I didn’t even expect that much in the first place. Still, I couldn’t take the word ‘easy way’ lightly, so I took a listening attitude.
Vivien cleared her throat once or twice and then started talking. And her explanation that followed was definitely interesting.
For example, assuming that the average mental power of an average human being is 100, it is said that each person has a breaking point at which their mental strength breaks down. A mentally weak person will collapse immediately after being dealt 10 hits, while a strong person will survive even if 50 hits are taken. In short, it can be defined that the mental strength of each person is different, and the threshold that breaks the spirit also varies widely.
“Right. So does that game I played against the vagabonds last time constitute a blow?”
“huh. According to my explanation, yes. There are many other ways to inflict damage. For example, the teaching assistant you mentioned is also one method. “Do you remember when I used to be a spider?”
“okay. “Are you sure you mean Jeong Ha-yeon’s younger brother?”
“huh. In his case, he was barely able to hold on when the monsters attacked him, but the moment he saw the stomach that had conceived the spider egg and was brought in, he lost all sense.”
Vivien looked around to see if Jeong Ha-yeon was there, and then spoke again.
“But, as I said before, the human spirit does not break down that easily. Because there is such a thing as tolerance. If, as you say, Baek Seo-yeon is a very strong woman, and she can withstand most things. Then she either plays games again, forcibly f*cks her, or physically tortures her. “It may be effective at first, but as time goes by, the damage decreases to zero.”
“wait for a sec. “Then if what you say is true, isn’t the potion the same?”
“Of course it is. That’s why I set up a smokescreen in advance.”
“I don’t quite understand.”
Vivien paused for a moment and pointed to Marvolo’s potion and Yggdrasil’s fruit. The information had already been confirmed a while ago. To put it simply, the potion had the effect of acting as a catalyst for alchemy, and the fruit was a poison that, when eaten, disturbed the mind and eventually led to death… .
“ah.”
At that moment, I was able to think of an idea. Vivien said she was making potions. That means… .
“Are you saying that these two can be used to make the potion you mentioned?”
“To be precise, the fruit of Yggdrasil is the key ingredient. I don’t know what trick Marvolo did, but Yggdrasil’s now rotted fruit has completely lost its original efficacy. Anyway, the recipe is in the book, and the results of using it are also provided.”
“How was it?”
“I used only 4 pieces of Mabolo out of a total of 12, dividing each piece in half and using it 8 times. Of course, he used other methods as well. “But it is a method that helped destroy the spirit of the Fairy Queen, who had maintained her integrity for hundreds of years.”
I calmly picked up the fruit. I said I used a total of 4 pieces, so there were 8 pieces left. There was silence for a moment. However, Vivian’s quiet voice soon echoed throughout the room.
“That means if you divide the 8 pieces in half, you can make a total of 16 bottles of potion. Kim Soohyun. what do you think about it?”
“… … .”
“Aren’t you curious what the results will be if you feed Baek Seo-yeon all 16 bottles at once?”
