The Blind Saint Who Can See - Chapter 85
Only Noblemtl
#85. Regrets that go back (17)
Immediately after the emperor called her with such a crazy and sensual title, Do Hye-won, who had been in a fox-like state, suddenly transformed into a half-human, half-beast form.
The emperor hugged Do Hye-won and stroked her roughly.
“Where on earth have you been? Hye-won, do you know how surprised I was when you suddenly disappeared?”
“……that is.”
“Have you been kidnapped by evil men? – Or have they harmed you?”
For a moment, the Emperor’s expression became fierce. His crimson eyes glowed brightly and an ominous current crackled near his blue hair.
My eyes widened when I saw him.
‘Magician!’
A human who creates magical power within his body.
Same constitution as Liliana!
I thought there was only one such special body, but who would have thought that the same case would have appeared three centuries ago?
My mouth is watering. This is totally the stuff of academic papers.
“no.”
“Are you sure that’s not true? If you lied, I’ll catch the one Sega who couldn’t find you as an example and wipe out the Ten Clans.”
‘What.’
Declaration of genocide? Suddenly?
I suddenly became sensitive.
Meanwhile, Do Hye-won, who was half-crushed in the Emperor’s arms, spoke.
“That’s not true.”
“I see.”
In an instant, the emperor’s momentum subsided. A cold sweat ran down his spine.
‘I wasn’t kidding at all.’
Seriously, he was planning to wipe out an innocent noble family for something so trivial. I can’t quite grasp his train of thought.
It’s hard to tell, but one thing is for sure.
The Emperor’s City.
She is clearly evil.
I smiled, narrowing my eyes.
‘Should I rule it out?’
Just one conversation will reveal what a piece of trash that is so disrespectful of human life. The world would benefit if there were no such trash.
‘Is the power at a level that can overwhelm Cedric in an unaware state?’
Cedric, who has not awakened his ego as a demon, is imperfect. Nevertheless, he is able to easily play with Izumi, who was strengthened by the Holy Sword, so he is truly a talent from the heavens.
And the Emperor exudes an aura that surpasses even the imperfect heavens of human subjects.
That is, the warrior party at this point can never defeat the Emperor.
If I weren’t here.
‘Three people passed, so I guess I’ll have to support them from the rear.’
This time, I used area healing and thanks to the skill level up, I can now target and heal creatures within a 30m radius.
So if a fight breaks out, she’ll have to deal with three zombies that won’t die no matter how many times she dies.
You can never win against that.
The method of starting a fight is also simple.
All you have to do is whisper softly to Izumi.
“Izumi. The Emperor is not human.”
It wasn’t even a lie.
Because I support Mencius’ theory of human nature being good.
Mencius said, “Humans are beings with the potential to become good.”
If you are a human being, you should have four feelings: compassion, shame, courtesy, and judgment.
In other words, an evil being is not a human being.
The ‘1 billion people’ that I have to save must all be made up of people, but can we really consider ‘something’ that has killed countless people a person?
‘Of course not.’
The corners of my mouth formed a gentle curve.
However, there is no need to hastily exclude an important figure such as the emperor.
I don’t have any foresight, and there was no way to revive a dead person from the beginning before I even met the emperor, who didn’t even appear in the original work.
Also, dead humans are excluded from the quest count. So they are not valuable resources to me. Obsessing over the opportunity cost of the waste is a mistake only a fool would make.
The important thing is ‘prevention’.
You have to save the person by using every possible means. The word doesn’t necessarily have to be human.
That’s what I’m talking about anyway.
After gathering his thoughts, the Emperor’s unusual constitution and strangely strong strength no longer bothered him.
No, it’s actually good.
Now that the warrior has entered the capital, Raven will also start spreading the Black Death to the people. If you follow his tail, a battle is inevitable.
If we could just temporarily lure the Emperor in then, wouldn’t that be quite helpful in dealing with Ho-cheon?
“First of all, I would like to thank you. You must have been surprised to see my brother, but you managed to guide him safely.”
“I just did what I had to do. Helping the weak is the duty of those born into leadership.”
“hmm?”
My thoughts about the Emperor were further strengthened as I watched him nodding his eyebrows at Liliana’s answer.
“There is no need for a leader to take care of the weak. Rather, it would be the people’s duty to sacrifice their lives for the leader who rules them.”
Liliana bowed her head without even bothering to argue.
“If Your Majesty says so, then it is right.”
That’s a wise attitude.
Even if we fight here, we will eventually win, but the Emperor is still somewhat useful. I stared at Dohyewon in the Emperor’s arms.
“Hmm? My kitten, is there a problem?”
“Seo-won… … .”
She whispered in the emperor’s ear.
My ears are just like an ordinary person’s. So, I wasn’t good enough to eavesdrop on whispers from a distance, but I could easily guess what Do Hye-won was saying without even having to listen.
“Is that true? But, no, yes. Well, if there’s a way to make it, there’s a way to undo it!”
The emperor, who had finished talking with Do Hye-won, strode toward me. Cedric, who had been kneeling, sensed the movement and stood up.
A tense, split-second clash.
Cedric, who was pushed from the plane, trembled at the tips of his fingers. For a man of the highest caliber, this was probably the first time he had experienced this except when he was very young.
“Stay still.”
I whispered to him as he was about to step forward. Cedric hesitated for a moment, then quickly turned his hand away from his scabbard.
Meanwhile, the emperor approached me. The tall figure, who was nearly six feet tall, slowly leaned toward me.
“Do you have healing powers?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
I smiled brightly.
“I have already heard the situation from Lady Hye-won, so I guess Your Majesty only has one thing to ask of me?”
“That’s correct.”
She bent down to touch my nose, then suddenly looked into my glass bead-like eyes and narrowed her eyebrows.
The emperor muttered.
“You have such unpleasant eyes.”
I could see Cedric standing next to me clenching his teeth. It was truly admirable that he stopped at that level.
When he first met Liliana, he immediately attacked her because she was royalty and all. It seems that through repeated brainwashing, the words manners, common sense, and manners have finally been instilled in his empty mind.
“It’s really strange.”
By the way, this emperor.
It didn’t seem like he just hated the shape of my eyes. Three question marks appeared above my head.
‘What should I do in this situation?’
Find out!
“Oh, the rest of the group should rest separately in their rooms. I’ll have to take you and Hye-won to the basement.”
“That can’t be.”
This time, the first one to protest was Cedric-
“The saint is still weak in self-defense. One of us must be by her side.”
No, it was Izumi.
He stood in front of the emperor with a rather serious face.
“So, if you want to borrow the saint’s miracle, take one of us with you as well.”
I blinked in surprise at Izumi’s confident claim.
In terms of strength, he is a strong man with a difference between a giant and an ant’s tears, and in terms of social status, he is a strong man with a difference between a noble and a commoner. Despite the gap that is so large that it is difficult to even talk to him, Izumi has always been able to penetrate into the hearts of others without hesitation.
“The palace is watched over by guards all year round. You have nothing to worry about.”
“Isn’t that something you don’t know?”
As Izumi continued to refute him, the Emperor began to slowly lift his delicate white jade-like hand.
It was a beautiful hand, ominously cold. Intermittent blue and white currents flowed around the head.
The emperor is not merciful in answering questions.
When I realized that fact, I quickly intervened.
“Don’t worry, Izumi. If what Hye-won said is true, then the reason why you’re taking me alone is… … .”
“ah.”
He nodded with a troubled expression, realizing the meaning of the words.
I looked at the protagonist who was obediently nodding, then quickly threw out a few more words as a ‘message’ and followed the emperor.
***
Bang, taaaaang. Bang, taaaaang… … .
An underground entrance that resembles a cave.
Because of the ‘inside’ structure of the abandoned mine, with every step I took, the brisk sound of my cane and the sound of my right foot dragging echoed together.
Every time I exhale, pure white breath comes out. Considering that it is still autumn outside, the weather is so cold that it could easily be called freezing.
“It’s quite cold.”
“It’s like that here all year round.”
The emperor, holding Do Hye-won in her fox form, added.
“The colder the weather, the less blood flows. I wish I could move to a luxurious palace right now, but I think it would be better to stay underground, so I’m leaving it alone.”
When the weather is cold, less blood flows.
‘How much is it?’
Although she had heard the explanation, Do Hye-won did not describe in detail what her younger brother had been like. She only vaguely mentioned that he had become a terrible ‘thing’ just by facing him.
Then a sound was heard.
“Ahhh. Aahh. Aahhh.”
It was an immature and desperate cry, like the cry of a child. Given the nature of the closed mine, it was impossible to even guess how far away it could be heard.
“It looks like our baby is having a hard time. Excuse me for a moment, priestess.”
“oh.”
The emperor listened to me harshly.
Without even having time to express my displeasure at the ride, which was completely different from Cedric’s, I arrived at the place where ‘it’ was.
“Right here. Come in.”
A small door opens.
The inside of the door was decorated with soft cushions, toys that a child might play with, and what even a layman could tell were expensive jewels and silks.
“Let me introduce you to my lovely second younger sister.”
“Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!”
The moment I heard Hanabi’s name, I had no more intention of [ERROR][ERROR] writing on such trivial [ERROR] elements. Because something had appeared right before my eyes [ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR][ERROR]. HowlsIt’s “Ah …
