I looked at his face, but we weren’t close enough for me to ask him anything. But what he said about a ‘domain’ brought one thing to mind, the Forest of Crimson Waves. “What reason would I have to go to a non-human’s domain?” “You never know. You might get lured away by a voice.” There’s nothing even remotely tempting about that voice. I was about to protest but decided to change the subject. “So, is that why you took my side? To check if I was lured?” “I didn’t…- 323.4 K • Completed
- “Would a gift from family ever carry a hidden motive?” By family, she meant the Ma Trading Company? Why, of all times, would the Ma Company give something identical to the Demon King’s Tear right now? Several questions flashed through my head. At that moment, the thief who had stayed silent all along, Ariona, finally spoke. “It’s a fake gem. It has little value.” He looked calm now, maybe because the others had given him time to compose himself. His eyes rested on me with…

- “He got hurt in the head, which matters more than his leg. He lost your memory, so he fear meeting strangers.” “I don’t seem like an unfamiliar presence that would make him uncomfortable. If I did, all those devotees who have never seen me wouldn’t come to see me.” Then meet the people who want to see you. Solongo bowed with an apologetic look that didn’t match her thoughts. “Lord Lu faced a monster not long ago and survived by a miracle. I ask for your generous understanding,…

- Wow, a business genius. The richest person on the continent. I was inwardly admiring her but kept a neutral face to hide it. “Yeah, treatment. I’ve been getting it diligently until today. Lantuya must be shocked right now.” “You’ve only been here for three days, though?” …Damn it. That bastard Lu came to the resort and fell into the pond drunk after only three days? I smiled to cover my surprise. “I’m not someone who can stay still even for three days.” “Well, that’s…

- At first glance, it might look like the Emperor had sacrificed himself for the sake of the nation, but the data Doctor Kim gave me told a different story. The Emperor had created the Eye of Hell even though he already knew it could endanger the divine beast. ‘Why on earth would he do that?’ ‘Because he was an idiot.’ ‘How much of an idiot are we talking about?’ ‘Hopelessly stupid.’ But he was still an emperor who ruled an entire continent. I frowned, but, as if it were…

- Of course, the thought of paying 400,000 gold made my knees tremble, but I maintained a haughty expression, as if nothing had happened. I could hear people murmuring about my sudden participation. ‘Haa, Adeye.’ ‘Damn, it’s over.’ ‘It’s clear that Adeye came after this.’ Thanks to Doctor Kim’s carefully built reputation, it seemed like I would be able to get my hands on the diamond without any competition. Gollum 1, the strongest competitor, glared at me and grumbled, but he…

- “As if that could happen.” I sighed and ordered the gem expert. “If you’re done verifying it, put it down.” “No, not yet…” “You said it’s genuine, right?” “Yes, but I think I should examine it with specialized tools.” Even as he spoke, his fingers kept caressing the gem, as if he couldn’t bear to let it go. Beside him, the priest’s hand twitched, he too, was tempted to touch it too. Are you both some kind of Gollum, why are so obsessed with the…

- “Right. And if the traitor is desperate to please Tairok, they will definitely try to get his hands on this gem and offer it to him.” Then the traitor will show up at the charity auction. I clenched my fist and nodded. “I’ll go.” “Good. Go and see for yourself who ends up with the cursed gem.” “Yes, cursed… what?” “They say the gem has a magical power that draws people to it, but those who touch it become miserable. Well, it’s nothing to worry about.” “Well,…

- “Inside each noble house where the divine beast’s energy is strong.” “…..Ah.” “It’s useless in Kun, where the divine beings have disappeared.” But Rick’s disappointment was palpable. Tairok added dryly, Rick’s eyes widening slightly. “And the Central Temple.” “If it’s the Central Tempe… that’s great! I can find it right away, right? Of course, it’s a large area, but it still narrows the scope. It would be nice to have a compass or something to help find the…

- “He seems particularly energetic today.” “He’s not just swinging it around because he’s angry?” Enya looked at Haas, who had approached her side, with a displeased look. “Do you want the Grand Duke to be upset?” “No, I’m saying this because the Grand Duke visited Lord Gumber’s summer villa during the day.” “Lord Gumber’s summer villa? The Grand Duke visited there? Why? A monster appeared?!” When Enya raised her voice, several people turned their heads. Haas…
