Episode 98. The inside story of adults (2).
“I understand, but… how do you plan to reveal the idea?”
After he finished explaining.
Tariq asked, and Kael took the book out of the space and placed it on the table.
The faded book, which looked old at first glance, had the title ‘Monster Dictionary’ faintly written on it, and as expected of a book with the title of a dictionary, it was very thick.
“A monster that has disappeared and does not exist now. We will create it.”
Make. At those words, the puppet show that had deceived Lars and his party in the Black Forest flashed through everyone’s minds except Kael.
“You want to make a monster doll?”
“As I said before, the dolls we make must have at least a small part of the subject’s body.”
Lisa and Laina opened their mouths at the same time, and Kael opened the space again, took something out, and placed it on the book.
The bright red orb, about the size of a grown man’s fist, was transparent enough to show the other side, and its surface was smooth like glass.
As everyone else’s gaze turned to the bead, Kael explained its identity.
“This is the monster’s core. It’s like the heart in a human. If we have this core, we can make a doll that resembles the monster’s appearance, right?”
“I need to know what kind of monster it is. And is one enough?”
After hearing his words, Lysa asked, and Kael was lost in thought for a moment.
Monsters, which now only appear occasionally in stories and fairy tales that have been handed down, were easily encountered in everyday life just like wild animals about 300 years ago.
Depending on their level of danger, monsters ranged from those as weak as wild animals to those strong enough to easily wipe out a village.
In some places, they were treated as food, and the skins and bones of strong monsters were considered valuable resources. The most valuable of these were the monster hearts. In other words, the core that Kael had taken out.
The easiest way to kill a strong monster was to destroy its core, and even if it wasn’t destroyed directly, the core would often be destroyed during battle.
“No. The more the better.”
“Do you have any more nukes?”
Even at that time, it was a hard core to obtain, so let’s say it was a core from a monster that no longer exists. How many would there be? As Raisa continued to ask, Kael was silent for a moment before opening his mouth.
“Not that many. I just put them in this space. If you include the weak monsters, there would be about a thousand… no, two thousand.”
“…Two thousand?”
“maybe.”
“What on earth do you do to have so many nukes?”
The reason Kael couldn’t accurately predict the number of monster cores he had placed in this space was simple. He was someone who had been reincarnated for a thousand years, and in the seven hundred years of his thousand-year life, there were always monsters.
Especially, before becoming Viscount Damie after learning swords and magic, he would catch and sell monsters to make money, and after becoming Viscount, he would sometimes secretly go out to catch strong monsters to relieve stress.
From the moment he had no shortage of money, he would not sell the monster cores, but would put them in this space whenever he obtained them, thinking that he might need them someday. He repeated this for hundreds of years, and the monster cores piled up in his space to the point where he could not even tell the exact number.
“If you are making dolls with this core, I will clear this space and bring you the core.”
“The core that Lord Kael just took out… which monster’s core is it?”
Unlike Raisa, who was terrified by the number of cores, Raina, who knew that he had been reincarnated for a long time, calmly asked which monster the cores belonged to.
“Wyvern. The details will be in the book, so take a look, and if you have any questions or difficulties understanding, come to me anytime. However, you won’t be able to go around the town in your original form, so I’ll send Lily to you. If you have something to say, please send it through Lily.”
Kael let out a soft breath at the situation that had been somewhat sorted out. He got up and headed to his desk in the office, took a key out of the drawer, and handed it to Laina.
“This is the key to the author’s basement. Use it as a space to make dolls. If you need any materials or items, let me know right away.”
“Master…what should I do?”
Tariq, who had not been given any orders to do anything, looked at Kael with eyes that asked for orders to be given to him as well.
…Why do you insist on coming forward and working?
Although he had a momentary doubt, Kael did not dare to express it out loud. He understood why he was reacting that way.
“You focus on your training.”
Tariq since he returned from the Black Forest.
He was able to use his sword energy. It was still faint and not in perfect shape, but just being able to generate sword energy was a huge achievement. It meant that he was getting closer to becoming a Sword Master, and his power was also increasing.
However, Tariq’s expression changed slightly at Kael’s words. It was a very slight change in expression, but Kael noticed that he had become sullen.
Not even that… Instead of saying that he wasn’t at an age where he could be gloomy about something like this, Kael added with a small sigh.
“I’m telling you to prepare in advance because you’ll have to step forward when monsters appear in the capital. With your weak sword skills as they are now, you won’t be able to cut down the monsters that Lina and Raisa have prepared.”
“I understand.”
Kael, who had been silently looking at Tariq whose expression had brightened significantly, soon wiped his face with his hand as if he was tired.
“Now everyone go out and do some work.”
“Yeah! Lily, do you know where the basement is?”
“Yes. I know it because Butler Hugo told me to.”
“Then, may I ask you to guide me?”
“I’ll go to the training ground.”
The four of them stood up in a friendly manner and headed towards the office door. Kael watched them and opened his mouth. A lowered voice came out through his open mouth and echoed in the office quite ominously.
“Twins. You don’t plan on going out like that right now, do you…?”
“Oh, that’s right.”
“I’m sorry… I forgot for a moment….”
Haa… Kael’s endless sigh echoed through the office once again.
After everyone left the office, Kael, who was left alone, instead of resting, began to process the newly accumulated paperwork after visiting the Temple of the Beginning.
Hugo, who must have been very busy looking through all sorts of records from the past, still brought simple food to his master at his usual mealtimes, and thanks to him, Kael was able to eat while working.
The documents were quickly processed in his hands, and when there was almost nothing left of the documents that looked at least 30cm long, Kael put down the quill he was holding.
“It seems like the head of the World Tree has time to spare.”
“No, I’m not. I’m a busy person too.”
As his voice, which was no different from his soliloquy, flowed out, a handsome boy with long, light green hair slowly appeared from the sofa where no one was sitting.
The head of the Information Guild World Tree. It was Jack.
The boy pouted his lips as if expressing his displeasure and looked at Kael with a suspicious look in his eyes.
“Your Majesty, tell me honestly. You’re not human, are you?”
“Unlike anyone else, I am 100% human.”
Kael’s answer flowed out as if he was saying that Jack was not 100 percent human, and Jack just lay down on the sofa and said.
“That’s what I mean! I know you’re just a normal human, so it’s even more absurd. I can’t understand how a normal human could have better magical power perception than me.”
“So, have you been able to contact Mabel?”
The reason Kael went into the private prayer room where Mabel collapsed first was to attach the brooch he had, which was a token that allowed him to exchange notes directly with Jack, to the child’s bag.
Since even the emperor had shown up, I thought the temple would be careful not to show any coercion to the child, and fortunately, it seems that my prediction was correct.
– Bam.
A neatly folded piece of white paper fell onto Kael’s desk, and he unfolded it silently.
“Hello! Kael!”
In this world, the only letters that he and the only other person could write were neatly written on the paper. Kael continued to read the letters on the paper, written in slightly crooked Korean, as if he was still not used to using a quill pen.
“I’m not sure what to write because I’m so out of my mind. But for now, I don’t think you have to worry! Thanks to Cloris-sister’s help, I’m now near the room in the annex where Lars, Cloris-sister, and Adrina-sister are staying.”
“I guess that’s a good thing.”
Kael muttered softly.
The writing on the paper continued on.
“I was surprised to see a brooch in my bag that wasn’t there before. Can I trust this guy Jack? Just in case, I’ll write a letter in Korean and send it to him! If this letter reaches Kael, I think he’ll be able to read it.”
“I used my head quite a bit.”
“And then I met the god Janus.”
Kael’s gaze, which had been reading the Korean text without any hesitation, stopped for a moment and rested on the words ‘God Janus.’
“That swindler! That kidnapper! That bastard!”
The swearing continued for a while, suppressing anger, and then Mabel met with the god Janus and their conversation, and he read Mabel’s memories.
“Because of me. I’m so worried that my memories will be read and I’ll harm Kael and the others.”
The writing, with ink smudges here and there, was slowly coming to an end, as if he was hesitating and losing strength.
“I know it’s shameless… but still, come get me quickly.”
After saying that, the letters on the paper stopped, and Kael stared at the pitch-black letters on the paper for a while. Then he took out a small piece of stationery from the drawer, wrote something, folded it neatly, and walked over to Jack, who was lying on the sofa, and handed the letter to him.
“transmission.”
“yeah-.”
“You didn’t open the letter or anything, did you?”
Jack stretched out his arm to receive the neatly folded paper, and sat up straight as he looked at Kael’s somewhat suspicious gaze.
“Huh,” Jack said with a snort.
“The ones you send to me are on green paper. The ones you send to your Count are on white paper, so don’t worry. I wonder if you haven’t prepared even that much!”
“When I get a call, I bring it to you, tick tock.”
“I’m busy too, right?”
“So you’re not going to take the money?”
Jack smiled at the sound of Kael’s voice mentioning money, his indifferent eyes focused on him. The corners of his lips curved into a soft smile.
“He said he would bring it right away if I contacted him.”
“Go now.”
“Just wait and see… I’ll really end up eating up all the writer’s money.”
Kael snickered and laughed as if he found the voice flowing out quite loudly as if telling him to listen.
“If you can, try it.”
The expression on his face when he received Mabel’s letter relaxed, even though he didn’t realize it. Just a little bit.
