The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 10

10 – What I carried – 1

The maid who had left earlier entered when she was convinced. After receiving the tea and sweets she brought, Cecil poured the tea in front of me and said,

“I prepared something simple to eat. I hope it fits in your mouth.”

“…I see.”

“Hmm? Why?”

Unbeknownst to me, I thought that the tea and snacks might contain poison.

Yes. This is not Murim.

New world.

It is a world where there are only those who do not know about me.

So there’s no point in trying to poison yourself.

I gulped and took a sip of the tea.

This tea tastes as good as it smells good.

Ah… Sweet… Far too sweet…

“…What’s wrong with that expression?”

“hahahahaha. I think it was because the tea was so delicious. You don’t have to worry too much.”

“Really? Then it’s fortunate… Actually, that tea is the latest trend at the academy. And the same goes for sweets. I bought a lot this time, so let’s enjoy tea time together later.”

“Thank you for your consideration.”

I took another sip of tea, put a snack in my mouth, and mumbled. Snacks also taste good with tea, so it’s quite tempting.

“I’d like to talk about the contract issue in detail…”

“I’ve already told you the terms of the contract. A comfortable place to sleep. A meal you can eat with confidence. And some living expenses. Don’t you think it’s excessive?”

“Of course it is. But I want to add a few more tasks to it. Of course, I’m going to reward you accordingly.”

“A few tasks…”

“You. You said you came from another world? Actually, the academy is conducting an experiment related to that. So I’d like you to help me with the experiment.”

“So you’re saying we have to go somewhere else? To where the academy is?”

“Yes. Of course, you don’t have to stay there all the time. You’ll need to go back and forth between Starin Youngji and the academy. Of course, it’s fine as long as you go to the Academy from here. I’ll send you to Starin Youngji from the academy.”

“Send it?”

“With magic. I can use teleportation magic. Only one person is possible. If you’re alone, I can let you go.”

He looks somehow proud. Is that great?

Then here’s a compliment…!!

“Ah~! This is amazing! Teleport! To be able to use such great magic! The future of Stein Youngji is so bright!”

“Ha ha ha. It’s not that great.”

It’s not a big deal, but I think I can hear the proud voice. After talking later, let’s go out and ask about the teleport.

“So? The answer? Of course, I don’t intend to force it. If I forcefully take someone who doesn’t like it, the research efficiency won’t come out. It requires cooperation and trust, but to force it. It’s ridiculous.”

“Isn’t it harmful to the body?”

“It’s not like that. And it doesn’t matter if I refuse during the experiment.”

“Then I will.”

“It’s good to talk well.”

That’s right. No one can communicate as well as I do, so why was it so difficult to communicate in midfield?

As expected, I am of a different world type.

“I don’t know what kind of relationship led me to join us, but… Chunyoung. I’m a person who wants peace to continue.”

“I think so too. There is nothing like peace.”

“Huh. We’re quite compatible? So let’s get along well in the future.”

“Yes, Lord.”

“It’s okay to just call me Cecile. Everyone is doing it that way.”

She spoke leisurely and took a sip of her tea. Is the story over? Then she wondered if she should go out, but she didn’t tell me to go out.

“Come to think of it, since you’re from another world, do you have any questions about this place? If you want, I’ll answer your questions. Anyway, I have a sage’s degree, so I know pretty much everything.”

Hey! He’s nice and has a good head. It would be nice to be really friendly with someone like this.

I don’t know what an experiment is like, but let’s work hard together.

It was around the time the rising sun had completely set when I came out of the study.

I asked quite a few questions, but she answered them all without a single hint of dislike.

“I’m here most of the time, so if you have any other questions, feel free to drop by.”

This is a really nice guy.

“Okay. Then I…”

“You said you had an appointment with Elan, right? Let’s go.”

Okay. I must eat a lot today!

***

Seeing him leave, Cecile took a sip of the cold tea.

I got a sore throat from talking so much, but I was able to figure out quite a lot in just over two hours of conversation.

‘The words that he came from another world… Must be true.’

There are many things I don’t know about the basics of this world. From the very basic to the more esoteric.

The point of view of all of that is quite different from that of a person in this world.

If you look at that, you can see that he hasn’t had a relationship with anyone in another world, or at least for decades.

However, his sociability is too bright to be considered the latter.

“It’s another world…”

Overall, Cheonyoung was close to a good person.

But what I could tell from my conversation with him was that he wasn’t just a good guy.

He’s said to be a pacifist, but he’s someone who doesn’t hesitate to kill someone to keep the peace.

He is smiling all the time, but I could see that his laughter was to hide his true feelings.

‘I’d rather have that.’

There is a saying that a wise enemy is better than a stupid ally. Then a wise ally would be of great help.

In any case, it was hoped that Chunyoung’s joining would be helpful, but there was nothing bad about it.

No, at least he wanted to stay here for a long time.

His power is also powerless, but he cannot ignore the feeling that he has found the Black Alchemist.

It’s enough if you take care of the appropriate compensation separately.

“To do that… You have to become attached to this place… What do you do?”

Slowly resting her chin on her, she smiled gently and calmly.

“Well. You can think about that part slowly.”

Now there was something more important than that.

Taking her research journal, she headed to the dungeon.

The two were captured where Atram and the soldiers were waiting. One is the black alchemist whose arms were cut off by Chun-young, and the other is the one who followed him, settled down here, kidnapped people and sold them as material for the black alchemist’s experiments.

In that case.

“…Don’t you need mercy in your hands.”

She smiled and nodded her head, and Atram and his men went inside her without hesitation.

“At the academy, we researched which method of torture is the best for kidnapping people and making them open their mouths.”

She spoke in her sonorous tone, and when there was no answer, she raised the corner of her mouth.

“The correct answer is fire-heated skewers. They say that works best. Now, let’s start.”

With her permission granted, Atram and the soldiers moved, and fear filled the eyes of the Black Alchemist and his men.

After meeting Cecil, I went outside and waited until the middle-aged maid who had guided me earlier approached.

“The lord has assigned Cheonyoung’s room. Please come this way.”

Following her, we arrived at a fairly large room. What she particularly liked was that there were windows and that they connected to the garden.

When she was in midfield, she always had to be prepared for an attack.

That’s why the only place I slept was always a place with a narrow entrance or a completely open place.

But now it’s different. I was able to sleep in a place where people could live properly.

That fact alone made me very happy with this room.

“Thank you.”

“I just did what I was supposed to do. And I’m an employee, so feel free to talk about it.”

“It’s okay. I’m comfortable with this.”

In order for honorific words to become fully familiar to the body, it is better to treat everyone with respect.

I have no intention of abandoning the pacifist line. The only reason I have to throw it away is for those who deserve to be killed.

“Okay. Then… And I brought the clothes I was wearing back to the room.”

On the bed were the clothes I had taken off earlier. Other than that, there were clothes that could be worn comfortably on hangers.

“Then rest in peace.”

After bowing politely, the maid leaves. Then should I go out soon? Elan will be waiting for you.

She was about to leave after briefly looking around the room.

– Smart.

“Yes! Come in!”

The door opened and it was Lucy who entered.

After changing into her comfortable clothes, she opened her eyes wide as if surprised to see what I was wearing.

“Oops. New clothes… These are artifacts made by my sister! They are enchanted artifacts. They are adjustable in size to fit the wearer’s body.”

“Is that possible?”

“Because it’s magic.”

If you say that, I have nothing to say.

“That… I want to say thank you again. Thank you very much.”

I greeted her face to face as she nodded and bowed down to her waist. Thanks, I want to do more.

Thanks to Lucy, I got a job and nice clothes. Because I was able to live in a peaceful place in my own way.

I feel at ease because it seems to be going well from the start.

How long has it been since you felt this comfortable?

This is all thanks to Lucy.

“Don’t say that. hahahahaha. It’s embarrassing for nothing.”

“Thank you for saying that. But what about the meal…?”

“I decided to go out to eat with Elan.”

“I see! You’ve already become so close with Elan. I’m so glad!”

“I see. Ah. Are you here for the temple?”

“Yes. I was thinking of going with you if you have time. But it’s not urgent, so let’s go later.”

“Please. hahahahaha!”

“Hohoho…”

After she left with a small smile, I looked in the mirror again and fixed her clothes before leaving the room.

Ah. It is expected. How delicious is the sake of this world?
