The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power - The Greatest Man in the World Hides His Power chapter 16

16 – Twins – 1

It’s a farewell drink. It’s a farewell congratulations

The aftermath of the place where you can attach it was not small.

“Aigoo…”

Atram, who drank more than me yesterday, was out with a hangover. His face was gaunt and it looked like he had vomited for a while.

“Ugh… You drink well. How are you so sane?”

“hahahahaha! That’s right!”

Strangely, I didn’t get drunk even when I drank.

Is it because of my internal energy or is it because of my constitution?

But even if I wasn’t drunk, the drinking party itself was enjoyable. Not only eating useless jokes, but also sharing serious stories without meaning, and even listening to the stories of this world.

It was a pleasure for me to have fun with everyone at a drinking party even when I wasn’t drunk.

“Do you need anything for a gift when you come?”

The carriage to the capital had arrived in front of the mansion.

I didn’t have any luggage, so I could just go, but Lucy had packed Cecil’s luggage. Elan raised her hand as I asked as she watched the servants carrying her luggage to her wagon.

“Me! Me! Me! Buy me some magic arrows!”

“What magic arrow?”

“With explosive magic. Now, this should be enough.”

She held out three gold coins in her pocket. To spend three gold coins. What kind of great magic is that?

“Monsters often come out in the spring. It will be useful at that time. I’d like to buy three of them since they’ll cost about one gold coin.”

“Elan. That’s enough to handle the security…”

“Yes. No. No. The situation in the territory is also difficult. And we take most of the materials obtained at that time, right?”

It is said that there are places where things obtained by catching weak monsters are secretly used. It is said to be delivered to the academy, or used as an experimental material for wizards and scholars.

Lucy said that he would give them all to the soldiers of the territory, Atram, and Elan.

She is also a true angel.

“There’s Chunyoung next spring, so there’s no need to buy three, right?”

“Isn’t it said that it’s yubimuhwan? It’s better to be prepared just in case.”

It’s just like Murim or here that you don’t know when something will happen.

Elan nodded her head at her words and smirked at her, Lucy smiled bitterly and shook her head.

“What are you all out for?”

The voice I heard then. Cecil was wearing a white shirt, black coat, and a short black skirt that came down to her thighs.

Looking at it this way, I really resemble Lucy, but there are differences in many parts.

Lucy always has a kind smile and avoids clothes that reveal skin, and Cecil always has a blunt expression and prefers clothes that reveal her body.

Even though they are twins, their tastes are drastically different.

“My sister is on her way, so I have to see her off…”

“Why?”

And this part too.

Unlike Lucy, who had a lot of affection, Cecil didn’t seem to care about that.

In a way, it could hurt, but Lucy didn’t seem to care. No, she’s not just her, everyone in this room is like that.

“Ah. It’s like that again. Cecil. Don’t do that while you like it.”

“It’s nice…”

Elan, who said she had known them since childhood, smirked and poked Cecile’s side with her finger. Cecile stepped back from her, slightly furrowing her forehead, and grumbled as she swung her head away.

“Elan always treats me like a child.”

“You’re young.”

“That’s right. Hal…”

“Quaaagh! I won’t forgive you if you say grandma!!”

I thought that if I left it as it was, Cecil would continue to be attacked, so when I said a word, Elan exploded. Cecile smiled as she watched her growl and approached Lucy.

“I’ll take care of Yeongji.”

“Yes. Don’t worry.”

“Have a good trip.”

“Atram. Take good care of Lucy.”

“hahahahaha! Don’t worry!”

After briefly greeting the rest of her servants, she climbs into her carriage. I tried to accompany the driver in the front seat, but I heard a voice from inside.

“Come in. We have something to talk about on the way.”

“What? Is that okay?”

“What else can’t be done?”

I can’t help it if you say that. After I got into the carriage, the carriage moved with a rattling sound.

While watching everyone walk away through her window, I casually asked her as she read her papers, sitting with her legs crossed.

“This is why I couldn’t teleport and wasted my time.”

To the extent that she can come and go alone, she can use teleport. But this time, Cecile dared to ride in the carriage as well, as she was going with me.

It stung her heart, and when she said it, she shook her head indifferently.

“No. This is what I asked for.”

“I see. But what do you want to say?”

“About the black alchemist and his subordinates you captured last time.”

Come to think of it, Cecil was in charge of interrogating those bastards. I forgot because I was so busy.

“First of all, the black alchemist’s name is Luhan. His age is… No, I don’t think you need something like this. See for yourself.”

I tilted my head as I read the paper she held out. It was because it was written unexpectedly.

“They were looking for something…?”

“Yes. That was the only information I could get. And it was listed in the Black Alchemist’s research journal. What they wanted was something other than a Chimera.”

“What are you looking for?”

“Well. The black alchemist seemed to know something, but…”

“I saw it?”

“As I was about to answer, my head exploded. It must have been banned.”

Wow. Taboo. Is there something like that here too?

“If you want to find out how to break the ban, you’ll have no choice but to keep hunting the black alchemists. Someone must have information about the ban.”

“Looks like you’re telling me to take part in catching or eliminating the Black Alchemist when the opportunity arises.”

“Do you like it?”

Cleaning out trash that threatens peace.

But there is a problem.

“Since I was hired in the Starin estate, it’s a little bit difficult to search for the black alchemist while searching other areas…”

“I don’t even want to go that far. There must be a reason why the black alchemist bothered to experiment in our territory. Maybe another black alchemist will come. I hope you catch him well then. Also, the other day, I met the black alchemist in the forest of monsters. While?”

Definitely a corpse. The catch is Elan.

“The only territory close to the monster’s forest is our star estate. The star estate and the monster’s forest. Black alchemists appear in both places. Could there be a reason?”

That’s me, I don’t know.

“Anyway, I’ll ask Youngji.”

“Okay. Then what else do you want to say…?”

“I don’t have one. I’ll be looking at some more papers, so why don’t you get some sleep? I heard you came in early this morning.”

hahahaha. It caught

“It’s better not to drink too much alcohol. It dulls people.”

She said briefly. Watching her focus on her thesis, I said with a smile.

“But sometimes it’s not bad to get drunk.”

“…Really?”

“…Are you drunk?”

“I haven’t had a drink yet.”

Whoops! Unbelievable!

You must be past your adult age. Can you stop drinking?

I was startled, and her face went slightly red.

“Obviously, it’s not that I didn’t drink because I couldn’t drink. I just thought it would be better to do some more research when I have time to laugh and chat while drinking alcohol or something.”

I’m used to her cold attitude.

Yes. Grow.

Cecile now resembled me in the past.

At that time, I only pursued becoming stronger.

The days of denying the five human desires and the seven passions and concentrating only on one.

But people shouldn’t be like that.

You can reach happiness only when you feel the five desires and the seven passions and enjoy what you enjoy.

The only thing at the end of life that excludes many things and pursues only one goal is futility.

So I had no choice but to propose to her.

“Come to think of it, I don’t see anything in return for helping me with research at the academy.”

“Ah. That’s right. What do you want?”

“It’s fine later, so let’s have a drink together.”

“…I’m helping with that kind of research, but that’s all?”

“Or, it would be better if you added walking around together.”

“…Ha ha. I’m not greedy.”

That’s because I don’t really need anything. You can earn as much money as you like, and even good equipment is nothing new in the end.

Then it’s better to reach out your hand to someone who wants to walk the same path as me right in front of your eyes.

“Okay, but I won’t have much time. I have my own schedule.”

“It doesn’t matter.”

“Okay. That’s it.”

After completing her answer, she turned her eyes back to her thesis, I looked at her, then closed her eyes and started her meditation.

Nothing special happened on her way to the academy.

Of course, bandits like bandits appeared in between, but through peaceful conversations and physical persuasion, they kindly paid for their travel expenses.

After traveling for about four days, the carriage stopped in front of a large fortress wall. Four flags were hung on the wall, which was incomparably higher than that of the Stein estate.

“The flags of each kingdom. This is the academy area. No country’s laws apply. Only the academy’s laws apply.”

“Ohhh. That’s right.”

“Among the people of the continent, there are even people who want to come here at least once in their lifetime.”

Having said that, she showed her own necklace to her who knocked on the door of her carriage.

With just that, the wagon moves without any special checks.

From inside the rattling wagon, I looked out through the window.

Befitting a huge city, there were quite a lot of people and buildings.

“It’s usually noisy in a place with so many people…”

“Well, it is. But it’s vacation time now, and most of the academy cadets have returned to their hometowns, so it won’t be a big deal.”

-Quaaang!!

An explosion that came out of nowhere. I looked outside through the window.

Black smoke was rising strongly from the center of the city.

“No big deal…”?

“…Maybe.”

Suddenly avoiding my gaze, she spoke softly as if making excuses.
