Chapter 247
Episode 247 Gnome Tree (1)
Alchemist.
An existence that can change magic stones into matter.
Even in Lapdonia, not many people have this job, so it is considered the most important resource.
Needless to say, if it was Noark, which was much worse.
“Good morning Marlene!”
“Are you on an errand for the alchemist? It looks heavy. I’ll pick it up for you.”
It was for this reason that everyone in the city was kind to Marlene.
Because she is the one and only apprentice of the alchemist.
After inheriting all the knowledge one day, from then on she will have to take charge of this city.
‘Grandpa doesn’t seem to be in the same shape as before…’
To be honest, it would be a lie if I said that this position was not burdensome.
But there’s no one else to do but her.
So I have no choice but to take responsibility and exert my strength.
Wasn’t it just a position of duty?
“grandfather!”
“Even if you call me Master.”
“Okay, Master! So what about that item? Are you here?”
“Here’s the cancer. The number is quite high. Let’s go find it on our own.”
Soon after, the alchemist tossed the two-way subspace, and Marlene received it and confirmed that it was inside.
It contained what she had ordered.
“Please tell me thank you!”
“okay.”
Marlene whistled and moved the items into her personal bag.
It was an obvious privilege.
Without the position of an alchemist’s apprentice, it would have been impossible to use the strategic item, the two-way subspace, for personal use, and the
infiltrators who had gone to the city in the first place would not have listened to her request.
“Wow Grandpa! Try this. This house’s cookies are really good!”
“Even if you call me Master. Oh, the cookies are delicious.”
“But what is it? It looks similar to the Elixir in terms of appearance, but there’s no way that’s the case…”
“Haha, you saw it well.”
“Yes? Is it really the elixir?”
Marlene, who had been eating the cookie without much thought, jumped to her feet.
Is that also an elixir?
The materials are so expensive and the production process is so difficult that even her teacher could only make five bottles in her lifetime.
‘They said they had already used up the two bottles…’
Now there are only three elixirs left in Noark.
But one of them is now in the master’s hand.
For what reason?
When Marlene’s eyes lit up with curiosity, the teacher smiled and explained the situation.
“You have to follow along and learn, so you should know. Today, we will try to restore the memory by feeding the dragon slayer Regal Vagos an elixir and recovering.”
“To that Regal Bagos…?”
Marlene involuntarily frowned.
“Why didn’t you like it?”
“…It’s just because it’s scary.”
“Don’t judge people by their appearance. It’s not because of the injury. They say he had a pretty slim face before he got burned. Apart from that, I don’t really like him either.”
“Isn’t that right? I’m not alone, am I?”
“Hehe, you always pick and choose what you want to hear.”
“Yeah, it’s not just because of my appearance. That man is so unkind. He also talks plainly to my grandfather…” ”
Hey guy.”
A moment of embarrassing silence ensued, after which Marlene heard the details from her master.
The reason why the precious elixir was delivered to that dragon was very simple.
Well, at least on the surface.
“This time, the Corpse Collector’s power has been greatly reduced and it needs to be supplemented.”
“Is that old man like that? I heard he was cursed and weakened.”
“Still, his dragon’s words are special. It’s not something you can use at will, but… He expected that if he ate the Elixir this time, he would be able to use it once or twice more.”
The head of Orculis directly requested the elixir from Seongju, and Seongju granted it.
It was a one-sided request, but I couldn’t help it.
Because Yongin is responsible for this.
I tried to treat it, but for some reason, Yongin’s health deteriorated further.
“Tsk, I still can’t figure out what happened. There was definitely no reason for that to happen.”
“The way I see it, it’s all acting. Acting! Trying to get the head start by framing us somehow!”
“……I don’t think it’s acting, but I know what you want to say. I don’t think the castle lord can ever be swayed by them.”
Orcules was like a poisoned chalice.
Especially in that it makes it impossible to let go of it even though you know it is harmful.
“Okay then, the preparations are over, so let’s go.”
Afterwards, Marlene followed her teacher to Yongin’s room.
“Geuuuuuu…….”
He was lying on the bed, unable to speak properly.
His limbs stiffened and he only rolled his eyes.
“There is no problem with hearing, so no, I will say it alone. It must be good news for you. The lord of the castle has bestowed an elixir for you.”
“That’s it……”
“Then let’s start right away.”
For reference, the treatment process had nothing to do with it.
After all, is the elixir a common item?
The whole process is to feed the elixir carefully so as not to spill it.
“…….”
After taking the medicine and waiting for about 10 minutes, Yongin stood up and was able to speak.
It’s just…
“Damn what the hell were you guys doing before?”
The first line he spoke was this.
“No, I was treated because I did something stupid, but I’m in that condition!!”
Marlene wanted to say something, but she held it back, remembering what Master had said before she came.
“Hehe, that’s why I didn’t bring the elixir like this. I hope you’ll treat me like that.” “Ha
, unless you are a
real alchemist…”
“next?”
“That’s what I was trying to do at that time. I couldn’t do it because I suddenly collapsed at that time, but shouldn’t I recover my lost memories now?”
“Isn’t that a problem…?”
“You may fail, but it won’t cause any harm to your body or anything like that.”
“…I’ll believe it.”
Yongin acted as if he were his master and nodded. That was the unpleasant Marlene, but she couldn’t say anything when her teacher was gone.
“Eat it. It’s an elixir called ‘Lethe’s Curse.’
Soon after, Yongin accepted the medicine with an unreliable gaze and swallowed it in one gulp.
“…… Write.”
“The pain will come soon, so lie down.”
Yongin obediently followed the instructions and lay down on the bed again.
and how long has it been
“……!”
Yongin, who was suffering from a cold sweat, opened his eyes again.
“How is it? Are your memories back?”
“……I don’t know. I think it might fly.”
“It may take a while.”
“It’s a very strange feeling. It reminds me of things that happened when I was young.”
“Because it’s that kind of drug.”
“Isn’t there anything sweeter than that? I wish I had something to talk about…”
At Yongin’s request, the teacher looked at Marlene.
It means to give something up.
“……I’ll bring it.”
Marlene hurried back to her room and fetched the cookies she had left earlier.
However, when I returned, the teacher was not there.
“If it’s your teacher, the castle lord called and went for a while. So, what to eat?”
“Here…”
Marlene handed over the few remaining cookies.
I don’t like it, but what can I do?
‘Amelia-sama gave it to me…’
This Yongin was so greedy that he couldn’t be satisfied with just one and chewed on several.
And how long has it been?
“Ugh… the head!!”
Suddenly, Yongin grabbed his forehead.
As if the ‘memory of the day’ that I had forgotten came to mind.
“That’s right…! It’s him…!”
Immediately, Yongin cheered deeply as he looked into the air.
However, the time of joy did not last long.
“Keah kuh!”
Yongin coughed loudly with a distressed expression.
Just looking at it, it didn’t seem like something was stuck in my throat.
Before he knew it, Yongin’s reddish-red skin was swollen to the extent of being bizarre.
‘Didn’t Grandpa Ha say there were side effects like this?’
Marlene’s hair was dyed pure white in a situation that she hadn’t heard about beforehand.
and that moment.
“you!!”
Suddenly, Yongin stretched out his hand toward Marlene.
A hand with obvious hostility.
Marlene, who had been learning alchemy all her life, couldn’t even react to the movement.
But…
“Kuk!”
His hand never touched her body.
It was because Yongin, who had been jumping upright, lost his balance and fell under the bed.
“Cuck!”
Saliva flowed out of his wide open mouth.
If it wasn’t an illusion, it seemed that blood was also mixed.
If so, how did this happen?
“You… what did you mix with the cookies…”
“Yes yes? It’s just an ordinary cookie…….”
Marlene replied in embarrassment, and Yongin completely fell to the floor at that point.
“……Damn bitch.
” He was looking up.
Of course, this also didn’t last for a long time.
Soon,
Yongin weakly lowered his head.
“Yo dragon blood… is in conflict with cinnamon…”
It was a cinnamon allergy.

“The conditions for activating the protection of the stars have been met.”
***
The third vine has disappeared. I
don’t know why.
To guess, it must have been that the divine punishment went down while not getting tired and making evil plans.
First of all, the power of the gods It’s because it’s a sacred object.
Anyway, it’s not the reason to be concerned.
‘Damn it.’
Now, the dragon slayer can come after me at any time.
This means that I have to be more vigilant in the future.
‘It was only last month that the second vine broke.’
How can it be like this?
I let out a sigh of relief.
He couldn’t say that he had prepared enough yet.
‘I don’t think I could handle it well with just one guy…’
The problem was that he was single. There is no guarantee that he will come to take revenge on me.
What
if he comes with the clown?
If not, if he is accompanied by numerous subordinates?
The royal family even obtained the means to break Noark’s barrier.
If it becomes possible to travel between the ground and the underground, it will be possible to meet the dragon slayer in this city, not in the labyrinth. Of course,
even this was not a problem to worry about right away.
‘ Why are you here…’
I let out a silent sigh and glanced
around
.
On the other hand
, the
knight
?
It’s a form I’ve never seen before.”
Sven Farab.
His eyes narrowed as he held the position of vice-captain of Leatlas’ 2nd Order of Holy Knights.
Like a religious person, he noticed that this was a holy relic.
“The oracle that came down last time… …..”
“Stop.”
“Ah… I’m sorry.”
When I cut off my words, the paladin realized his mistake and kept his mouth shut.
But it’s already too late
. This…….”
“…The basics of escort missions are confidentiality, so don’t worry too much.”
Do n’t worry
.
……Ha, that’s annoying.’
Three knights and one vice-captain.
Only four secrets are known, but it is a self-evident fact that the number will increase in the future.
How long will it take before the chief hears it
? ?’
Well, I don’t know that far,
but it was clear that something annoying would happen.
The chief of the tribe didn’t like that I became a noble. It was also a job to persuade with the excuse that it was for the sake of the tribe
.’… It will take a long time to get to the 9th stage imprint.’
It’s stuffy.
Especially the fact that there’s no way I can do it right now. Even
if I asked to keep it a secret, everyone would say
yes in front of me
. “Then I
‘ll leave.” ‘I have no choice but to take over the tribe as soon as possible.
‘
If I become the chief of the tribe and change the traditions of the tribe, everything will be solved.
And in that sense…
“Misha, go home now.”
I have something to do.
“Huh?
” I want to stop by for a while.”
Didn’t the bullhorn come off as well?
I immediately broke up with Misha and headed to the Holy Land.
The knights only accompanied me to the entrance of the Holy Land and didn’t come inside.
It’s because the Barbarians were still keeping the tradition of forbidding other races from entering.
” Then we’ll wait here.”
“We’ll be back around evening, so rest nearby.”
” Yes.”
Soon after entering through the open gate, a forest terrain that was hard to see in the city appeared
.
This place feels more like home than Lee Han-soo’s room, which he goes to every time the Seonji community opens
.
As we were walking along the road overgrown with weeds, let alone the paved road, we soon arrived at the residential area of the Holy Land. The
huts were just built without any particular standards
.
Invincible!”
“Now, I will tell you the story of Bjorn’s slaying of the world’s most wicked corpse collector, so listen up!” “Listen? What does
that mean!” ”
It means open your ears and listen!”
I saw young warriors being trained.
By the way, the instructor is…
‘Einar.’
Einar was a little different from the outside.
In front of Misha, his shoulders were wide open and his expression was full of confidence.
And he was carrying four backpacks.
Yes, now the number of backpacks is a symbol of success among the barbarians.
In front of juniors . I must have wanted to show off my style.
Maybe I liked that position, but these days it’s my daily routine to go to the Holy Land every morning
.
I wanted to say hello to Einar, but I stopped because I felt like I was going
to get
all squeamish.
There is another reason
I came to the Holy Land today. One of the advantages of being a barbarian
:
no
need
to
knock
.
“I have something to say.”
“Do
it
.”
A barbarian society where honesty is considered a virtue. ”
I
have come to inherit the position of chieftain .
” It’s a succession…”
The tribal chief answered while taking out an ax that was standing in a corner
.
