"Did you find it?"
Myru picked up her own food because he told Ben to get a couple of books and news and other information about this world. Ben always explained to him about the ins and outs so that Myru didn't have to be tired of looking for it himself. Still, he was quite curious about some of the other topics.
The book that Ben had just brought was a book about non-human beings. Myru needed this information to find out about what types there were.
"I'll walk around for a while, you rest."
Arditian didn't want to admit this. However, if he was destined to die in this place, it was good to know more about this world. The novel "Journey to Defeat the Demon King" it did not explain much about the Velreidom family, surely because the family had already been destroyed and almost wiped out at the beginning of the story. For now, he learned the basic information about the kingdom of Hex. The territories and the lords in each territory were detailed.
In the first volume, it was briefly explained about the Duke of the East, the marquess of Vilreidom was one of the people under the Duke of the East.
The maids did a good job cleaning the house. There was not a single leaf on the lawn as it had just been cleaned. Myru walked leisurely while reading the history book of his residence slowly. Hex Kingdom's anniversary hasn't happened yet, which means there's still about a year left for this place to fall to pieces.
I still have plenty of time, but I should have started to find out when Colim - the main character - came to this place. While turning page after page, Myru kept thinking.
Wow, it looks like Marquez Velreidom has quite a long history, every time you turn the page it tells you about the previous warring era that was created about a hundred years ago.
To think a historical family like this disintegrated... maybe it was about time.
Myru once wondered what her biological mother looked like, but could not see a picture of her at all. The reason was that his mother decided to live outside the mansion away from her family to live with her lover.
Arditian himself did not know who that was. Only the real Myru knew what his parents were like.
"Don't cry! I'll definitely get it for you okay?"
Myru's steps slowed down.
"B - but... you'll get hurt if you grab it."
"It's yours. So I'll get it for you no matter what, don't cry okay?"
Two young siblings hugged each other close to the trees. Myru watched his two younger siblings. Little Somi with her ponytail hugged her twin Romi. One hand stroked her brother's back while the other held a wooden sword.
"It's a gift from my brother, what if he broke it?" Roni said, sobbing.
Of course, the sibling didn't mean the gift is from Myru. He remembered there was still one more person. The first son who was currently serving in the kingdom of Hex for the temporary Refire Velreidom who would run this family after Marquess Marko.
Myru pretty much knew what he looks like from seeing his picture.
"Somi will get it!"
"But Somi, the Dean is older than us."
"Don't worry, I have a sword.!" Somi showed her wooden sword proudly to Roni who wiped away tears.
The boy shook his head. "Roni doesn't want Somi to get hurt, it's okay."
Leaving them alone, Myru walked again in the other direction. The yard was quite large, so it was not uncommon for him to run into other people.
His gaze then fell on a group of children who were giggling while holding a magic tool. Like a toy, they were swinging it back and forth.
"Ah, there they are."
Myru was silent as he watched. It seemed that her younger sibling was not someone who often told stories to her parents. If not for that, the Dean who was the youngest son of the Viscount would not behave like this to the son of the Marquess.
Unless he was a brat.
The boys' laughter stopped when Myru stood beside them with a smile.
"Hi."
"Ah, it's the marquess' fake son! What are you doing here!"
The kid holding his little brother's magic wand yelled while pointing at him. Myru shook his head. Turns out he's just a little rascal. Just look at the other kids when they find out that I'm the troublemaker and stare in horror while staying away, only that idiot dares to challenge while pulling out a sword from the side of his shirt.
This bastard, he bullied Roni and Somi with a real sword? He's even older than them.
Hey, shouldn't we go?"
"That's right, my dad said he's always causing trouble."
"My dad said to run away if you see him."
The way people look at him is awful.
"I'm not scared!" except for this kid who loudly pointed his sword at me.
Didn't their parents teach them not to give dangerous objects to kids?
"I'm not afraid of people who wet their pants at night because their mom didn't go to bed with them."
Myru retorted quickly. The boy's face turned red and a few moments later his friends mocked him.
"I'm not! He's lying!"
"Really? Then do you know the fairy tale about the statue you've been sitting on?"
All the children's eyes turned around, looking at the lion statue they were playing with.
"What's so good about this ugly statue?"
"Don't you know? If you put your hands in there, something will hold your hands back from that place.
A red stream of blood will come out of the statue's mouth if you keep holding it and the next day you will vanish and turn into a mere statue."
'That's not true, you're lying." Yes, he was lying. How would this kid know?
"If so, why didn't you try to put it in?"
"Who's scared?"
Just as the child was about to touch the statue's head, Myru shouted. "Don't! You'll really die!"
"What? Don't shout at me!"
"What if you get possessed by a fire and turn into a statue when you hold it?
"People always leave this statue alone and don't clean it for fear of the curse, you must know that this statue is the most dirty of all."
The children looked surprised and began to believe Myru's words.
Myru then whispered. "I'm just saying this but... this statue only targets children to prey on."
Their eyes were scared when that was said.
"Hey, shouldn't we leave?"
"I'm sure she's just lying."
"You're sure I'm lying?"
Their eyes went to Myru as a sinister glare was directed at all of them. "Then try, put your hand in."
Shuddering, they all looked at each other.
" He's lying..." Immediately he quickly picked up his hand and put it in. The boy screamed and fell backward.
"Someone's holding me!"
The boy's eyes widened in fear when he saw the blood coming out of the lion statue's mouth.
"KYAAAAAA"
"AAA"
"'Help'!"
The boy tried to grab his friend "Don't come close! You are cursed!"
They all avoided the little brat. Frightened, he looked back at the statue, just then Myru whispered to him.
"Now, soon you will see the lion ghost and turn into a statue unless you get into the fountain water and beg the statue perhaps it might forgive you."
The boy cried, he looked back at his hands and the blood that kept dripping from the statue's lips made him cry.
"Where are you going?
I nodded when the boy ran away. Teasing a child is easy. My hand then moved towards the statue and observed the blood that continued to drip endlessly.
Taking a rag that was lying around, I put my hand into the statue's mouth, took the hand that was inside, and adjusted the red liquid so that it wouldn't spill out. "I didn't expect the pranks of my two younger siblings to be so clever." Yes, it was Roni. He was always curious about everything and made references to children's horror stories become real. Myru knew because he had seen Roni several times carrying a fake hand that he had made from a twig. If you were a scared person, you would have thought it was a skeleton hand. My brother is a genius. Myru then took his brother's magic wood and put it away. He stopped for a moment when he heard a strange sound from the direction of the trees, his eyes kept searching but found nothing. I finally turned around and almost jumped in surprise when I heard the shadows in the distance watching him. Since when was that old man there?! Myru narrowed his eyes at his servant."Didn't I tell you to rest?" "There's no way I'm letting the young
If I'm not mistaken, the original Myru had always not wished to go there because it was a place where memories with her parents flowed.If indeed there is a precious place and at the moment Myru still feels heavy because of the departure of her two biological mothers. Then it could be predicted that he would still refuse until all the issues were completely resolved.But he's not Myru.Leave that issue aside, my life as an Arditian won't matter much either. Not having a mother and father and always living alone made me independent since I was a kid.I don't remember how my childhood was as an Arditian, but as far as I knew, I had always been alone. That's why my situation now isn't too tough. If the current Marquess and Marquis were my biological parents it would be quite strange.I've always been alone so it can be said that this is a normal thing even when people in the mansion stay away because they are scared of Myru's trashy nature. It wasn't a burden on her mind at all.I raised
Day two in the morning. Myra woke up in the guesthouse that Velreidom had reserved. Quickly getting ready with Ben's help, Myru then went downstairs, towards the lobby as well as the dining room.Seen there, the knights were sitting together with the other guests, there... the Marquess and Marquis were sitting together along with the twins.Myru thought that he might as well go there."I'm so scared, Last night our brother's carriage was broken in the middle of the road and his treasure got taken away under the bandits. Fortunately, my brother's life is safe and he is now resting."A customer vented, sadness filling his face. Another person spoke. "Hah! That's why I told you and your brother to hire a knight! Your brother since yesterday has been stubborn. He keeps thinking that the Boundless Abyss region will always be safe, even though there have been three cases three times in that place and its surroundings!"I glanced at Ben. "What is it?"As expected of Ben he answered quickly a
I raised my head when the carriage stopped. Looking forward were Somi and Roni who were both staring at me. The heavy voice of the vice-captain made us all look outside. The vice-captain now opened the door and checked on the state of everyone inside the carriage. The person who was usually laughing full of jokes now looked serious while still smiling. The long sword that was always in the side area of his waist was now at arm's length on guard. "Yong master, young miss. Wait a moment, our knight will take care of this." Just from the open door, Myru could see a group of bandits surrounding our party. "Khahahaha! Hand over all your treasures you noble blood!" They looked numerous and also enough to make a large circle outside our sizable party. Their clothes looked dirty, the bandits' faces were typical of people who hadn't bathed in weeks, laughing loudly and various weapons were around them. I asked. "Can you guys handle it?" The vice-captain laughed lightly. "Young master,
"Don't come any closer, if you guys don't want this girl to get hurt, haha haha!" Somi's face, which had been strong, was now tense. She must have been scared because there was a real knife approaching to hurt her. I looked around, the knights didn't dare to come closer because every time they came closer the knife was getting closer to Somi's flesh. I was the only one within a few steps of them. I pushed Roni away. "Run away," I said softly. "We'll just be a burden," Roni nodded and ran away. The bandit's laughter returned. Khahahah! Weak nobles, why did you run away? ah... You didn't?" Myru took a deep breath and held her small bag. " Sir, wouldn't it be better to ambush an older child rather than a little kid like that?" The bandit looked at me in surprise. "Hmm unlike the little kid you're holding, I don't have any magic or swordsmanship at all, the point is I'm similar to an ordinary person. It will be difficult for me to fight you. And even if you fail, at least you can
Ah crap, it hurts like hell.I know it's not the first time I've died but... the pain of being crushed made Myru's body motionless. This body was ready to slowly die until it finally ran out of blood and was lifeless.Myru coughed a few times. He held his chest-beating weaker and weaker every time he breathed.The thick liquid spread to various places. The ground, as well as the rocks near Myru, made the place like a pool of fresh blood.After that, Myru closed his eyes completely.The flowing blood was still absorbed into the ground, passing through the stonework. Except... one stone that was pitch black next to his head. The stone magically lapped up Myru's blood, sucking it up like a hungry beast. When Myru closed his eyes
Myru looked at the land and wondered. " A magic circle?"Stone of eternal misfortune quickly replied. [This is not a magic circle, magic cannot be used here.]Myru thought, whatever it was he couldn't find the answer. Stone of misfortune released its radiance again, this time the light traveled towards the center of the circle, moving there. [Myru, come quickly!]Myru's feet stepped lightly there. right in the center of the circle, there was a painting of three triangles that twisted and shaped like a center. With the help of the Stone of Eternal Misfortune, Myru sat cross-legged right between the triangular images...[I need a lot of energy but... I'm sure with this we can get out of here!]"Are you sure we can make it out?"[Of course! I've slept for thousands of years, meaning my power is even greater than that of the dragons! But I'm a bit worried because I'm not too familiar with the outer world].Well, of course, I'm not so surprised if there are Dragons in this world however, t
Getting a lecture from Stone, however, Myru just kept his mouth shut. How else? Strong scents always made him sneeze. Not to mention that he even put in all the spices he found on the freight train. Of course, by this time his bag was quite full.'I'm planning to cook for myself if I can't get home quickly. After all, I need to use my money for other purposes instead of expensive things like spices.'So while there was a chance to get free groceries, why not? Stone of eternal misfortune did not make a sound. It seemed like he felt guilty for sending Myru to a place that wasn't particularly safe.Though it doesn't matter, after all, he is a character in a novel, therefore his existence must be guaranteed."Come here you rat!"Or maybe not?The voice was getting closer. Seeing a path, he jumped onto it, turned around, and then went around. There was a place that looked hollow but was quite short, even so, it was enough for Myru to squeeze through and the place was in a narrow enough pat
Despite still having trouble breathing, Myru chuckled at the words of the person in front of her. " Why not kill me then? Isn't your goal to destroy this place? You're too soft." "There are some maps there, but it doesn't seem like it's a map for the city and so on. Is it in a building? Are you planning to go in there and destroy the place? But isn't that slavery place filled with tons of people on guard? Your careless behavior is proven by your staying here. Myru chuckled, he could see the shocked movement of the person in front of him who was currently not expecting Myru's words. "Curious why I knew all that so quickly?" "...Sitera." ?! Myru smiled wryly. This person could kill her whenever she wanted, but Myru knew this person would never kill anyone who was a victim of slavery. That's because Sitera, this blonde-haired person in front of her was a victim of cruel slavery herself. Seeing her grown up and cutting her hair to act like a man for easy disguise made Myru certain
Myru had to endure another yell before being dragged into one of the buildings. The place looked like an ordinary house. Myru couldn't see any difference between this building and the others from the outside. With his hands tied, Myru entered the building and was greeted by others. "What is this?" "The kid who ran away yesterday." "He looks like a noble. I don't remember ever bringing a noble here." Myru kept his mouth shut. They examined Myru from head to toe. Then they noticed a small pin on the robe he was wearing. Edaunay saw it and grinned. "HAHA! A big catch! A big catch! I don't know how he got here, but it's our lucky day! Hey, quickly take this kid downstairs and feed him! In two days, someone will come to pick them up." My body was easily pushed with just one touch. On both sides, guards filled the area, all looking like market thugs. Their shouts were deafening. I thought you would help me. Stone of Eternal Misfortune replied quickly. [I'm just a stone, what can I
