The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 64

#64. The Land of the Black-Haired (6)
Cedric’s eyes were shaking as if there was an earthquake.
‘Hmm. Was that a bit harsh?’
I asked you before we slept in the same bed to help you relax.
Actually, this issue should have been addressed at least once.
Anyway, Cedric always drew his sword in front of me, and he never really hid the fact that he was an assassin.
So, I said it in a refined way to the level of information organization.
“That, that, that, that.”
The condition is serious.
It was so miserable that I was sweating profusely as if I had been hit with an unexpected blow.
It’s not that I don’t understand, though.
‘You should have lived a little more properly… … .’
To be honest, I can’t help but have some weird thoughts.
Looking at the pure white tail, it seems like he committed torture, mass murder, fraud, and other things just like in the original.
No, I even left a will.
If you have a conscience, shouldn’t you at least try to live a good life?
“That… … I just ran a small information agency or something. Why, important people usually treat restaurant workers and shoe shine boys like invisible people. That’s how I gathered information.”
“I see.”
“The Dark World is- uh, um. You know that, Youth. The people of the Fire Nation and the Principality treat the people of Kieto like trash. It seems they have a base in Kieto, so they’re called that.”
“Yeah, I understand.”
He nods his head slightly, and she looks visibly relieved. It’s impressive that he can’t even control his facial expression.
I would give the overall coping score a 9 out of 100.
‘So what did you do with the information?’
The most important thing when manipulating people is a poker face.
In addition, hiding one’s own true feelings and extracting information from others can be said to be the beginning of fraud.
If you can use the information you found out to guide others in the way you want, voila.
Before you know it, a great liar is born.
Just like me.
“Well, Cedric is weak-hearted and kind. It would be impossible for him to harm people like a typical underworld organization.”
“Oh, yeah, that’s right.”
Dogshit 1.
“As expected, you are a good adult?”
“… Yeah.”
Dogshit 2.
A person who opens his mouth like this and starts telling lies and talking nonsense can be called the greatest swindler in the world.
In that respect, I feel relieved whenever Cedric shows his sloppy side.
The sloppiness he shows is because it is in front of me. It is proof that my influence is great.

‘Fuck.’
Liliana woke up with wide eyes.
No, the expression “woke up” was inappropriate. Isn’t that a word that someone who slept well last night would use?
‘I couldn’t even sleep a wink.’
The cause is none other than pain.
I started feeling a little sick right after I left Justinas, and the pain got worse when I entered the elf village.
Last night, I fainted and woke up repeatedly because the pain got worse at night. I even cried and called Justinas’ name.
‘It didn’t hurt when you were by my side.’
In other words, it means that Justinas has always been the one bearing this level of pain.
Knowing it in your head and experiencing it with your body are two different things. Liliana slowly realized what Justinas meant when he said, “Life before and after the destruction of the magic circuit is completely different.”
The magic circuit has no cure.
So, it would be better to get used to this pain quickly.
Because I can’t live with Justinas forever. And I’m not going to get married.
… For a moment, I thought, “If only she were a man,” but then it subsided. It was because I couldn’t ask someone else to suffer for me for the rest of my life just so that I could be comfortable.
“Liliana! What’s wrong with your face?”
“…because it kept me awake.”
“Ugh. Can I go outside?”
Izumi asked while eating the salad Daphne had prepared for her.
The two were planning to go out to subdue monsters this morning. Liliana answered, rubbing her head.
“No. It would be difficult.”
“Don’t overwork yourself. I can do it on my own.”
“I’m sorry.”
She apologized meekly.
“Then I’ll be off!”
“Izumi, I’ll go with you!”
After dinner, Izumi and Daphne left to hunt the monsters.
Because of this, Liliana was left awkwardly with Daphne’s mother.
Well, the pain that stabbed my whole body was still greater than the awkwardness. I don’t know if it was fortunate or unfortunate.
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“…hmm.”
Liliana dropped her gaze.
No matter how sick you are, you still have dignity as a member of the royal family. It was quite embarrassing to be caught with so much pain everywhere like this.
“Elf medicine is far more advanced than that of humans. Since we have this chance, why don’t we talk comfortably?”
But after hearing this, there was no need to hide it.
Liliana also had heard a lot about the goodness of elves. She was so bold by nature and couldn’t even tell a lie, so she couldn’t keep an elf slave. … Human greed.
“Can you fix the magic circuit?”
“Huh? Magic circuit?”
The elf looked embarrassed.
“Hmm, that’s a bit tricky. Is there a broken circuit somewhere? I’ll check it out.”
Liliana nodded.
Then the eyes of the nameless elf who felt her pulse widened.
“… I’ve never seen a circuit like this before in my life. How on earth does it walk?”
“that is…….”
Liliana confessed her innate constitution and the work of Justinas.
The elf sighed after hearing the entire explanation.
“Because he’s an adult. Yes, it’s understandable for an adult to do that. That guy who showed up 500 years ago was like that too.”
“… 500 years ago?”
How old are you?
The elf said with a slightly mischievous smile, as if Liliana’s question had appeared on her face.
“I’m already over six hundred years old. Hmm, right. The magic circuit… … It’s difficult to completely fix it, but do you want to give it a try?”
Liliana jumped to her feet.
“There is a way?”
“Yes. But.”
“But?”
Taaah!
With a cracking sound, Liliana rolled on the floor.
It was the first honey chestnut I had ever tasted in my life since I was born into this precious body.
“You’re so young and innocent, you’re talking to me informally? The boy who came with you was so polite and polite, but, uh, uh.”
“Augh… … .”
“And by the way, you still haven’t told me your name. I guess I forget it a lot because I’m old.”
The elf, who looked to be in his early 30s, smiled brightly as he looked down at Liliana, who was writhing like a bug.
“My name is Aris. Please call me ‘Aris’ with respect.”
***
“They say that adults usually appear in the world every five hundred or thousand years. I’ve only seen one from five centuries ago.”
“Was he also like Justinas?”
“It was similar.”
The two were currently following Aris’s guidance and heading deep into the elf village. Even as the road became increasingly rugged, Aris’s footsteps were light.
“He was so crazy that he would make sacrifices on his own. He would always jump into the fire, even though it didn’t hurt.”
Unlike her footsteps, her voice was full of regret.
“What I remember is… … um, when I tried everything to make something called ‘kimchi stew’.”
“I see, is that so?”
If Justinas, or even Izumi, had heard these words, they would have been shocked and frozen.
Unfortunately, Liliana was not from ‘Earth’. Aris, who had been observing her calm reaction, turned his head away.
“Anyway. That guy, like you, had all his magical circuits broken all over his body. He always smiled and said he was fine, but he must have been in pain.”
“… A magic circuit? A full-time adult?”
“Even after the adventure was over and that guy disappeared, I had a lot of time on my hands. So whenever I had time, I studied how to heal the magic circuit.”
The steps gradually stop.
Liliana looked back at the suddenly changed scenery.
What is in front of you is a small log cabin.
Unlike the elven homes carved into trees, it was a cabin that an ordinary lumberjack would stay in.
“Come in.”
Squeak.
The old door opens.
The inside was also ordinary.
While Liliana looked around in curiosity, Alice rummaged through the cupboard drawers.
“I should have put it around here… … Aha.”
After searching for a while, she soon took out a small bottle. Inside the transparent glass bottle, golden liquid was sloshing.
“What is this?”
“Elixir.”
In response to Liliana’s question after receiving the bottle, Aris added an explanation.
“It is called a panacea in the human world.”
