#520. do you want to eat

That moment.

Limon closed his eyes.

It wasn’t particularly surprising.

Shir, who is busy managing Dagda’s cauldron, cannot come all the way to Brazil just to visit him.

That’s why I had a rough idea of what her business was from the beginning.

“The results of the investigation?”

“Unfortunately, we haven’t found out anything more about the Seven Arks itself.”

“I didn’t expect that.”

“Don’t be too disappointed. Instead, I have found out something about what you asked for.”

Shir laughed.

As for the Seven Arcs, she had already raised her hands.

This is because even Sir, who has lived for thousands of years and accumulated deep and extensive knowledge, could not solve the mystery of the Seven Arcs.

Even so, the reason he came to Limon was because he had been asked to investigate.

“The 5th Seven Arcs that were said to be in the ruins of Indy Jones are probably Faust’s quills.”

“Faust?”

“Why do you know? A dark wizard from around the 16th century.”

“At that time, among the black wizards I had beaten, there wasn’t one like that.”

“…don’t take things for granted. No matter how sweet you are, you didn’t kill all the dark wizards in the world.”

In the first place, the black mage was good at hiding and running away.

That’s why Limon couldn’t root out the Dark Dawn until the Demon God War.

“Besides, Faust was relatively calm among the dark wizards.”

“demureness? A black magician?”

“That baby originally dealt with various studies, from alchemy and magic. To be precise, since I was learning various studies, I even touched black magic.”

“It was the so-called genius type.”

It was nothing special.

Originally, the absolute class itself was a superman that surpassed humans.

In the first place, it cannot be done without exceptional talent, and among them there are many geniuses who excel in many fields.

“Among them, he is really genius at black magic, to the point that even the Dark Dawn Society referred to his research data to create demons.”

“That means…”

“If Faust was a dark wizard who was about the same as the demon’s grandfather, would you understand?”

Faust, the black wizard who served even the ancient great devil.

Because of his research, the magic that controls demons with powers beyond humans was completed.

Watching her speak languidly.

Limon narrowed his eyes.

“In the end, the one who created the 5th Seven Arks was a great black mage, right?”

“Although he didn’t live very long, if he had talent and achievements, he would have been one of the top three black magicians in history.”

“…is that so?”

There is no evidence as it is the result of an investigation based on Yun Na-gyeong’s eyewitness account.

However, if it was the result of an investigation by a great witch like Sir, it was almost certain that the fifth Seven Arcs were Faust’s legacy.

It was also the result as expected in the first place.

after a brief silence.

It was for this reason that Limon suddenly asked.

“Do you think it is a coincidence?”

“Once, of course, twice is a coincidence, but three times is inevitable.”

“That’s the excuse the old man Plato gave while gambling and taking out the bottoms.”

“Anyway, you’re not wrong.”

“Yes, it is.”

Cirdo Limondo.

An immortal who lived a long time.

That’s why I knew.

How many coincidences are there in the world?

So, I didn’t think it was suspicious until now.

However, after checking the deep-black violin, Plato’s carving knife, and even Faust’s quill, they both had a hunch.

that this is not a coincidence

Of course, this is still just speculation.

But if that’s what you guessed?

‘I don’t know if this is good luck or bad luck.’

Limon sighed.

Of course that’s not a bad thing.

It was rather close to good news in that it might be a clue to break the current situation.

Even so, there was one reason why Limon couldn’t help but feel awkward.

“What are you going to do, baby?”

“I have no intention of checking.”

“I’m asking if I’m going to tell the other kids other than that.”

“…I don’t want to talk about things that aren’t clear.”

“Since you’re not sure, wouldn’t it be better to speak sooner rather than later? That way it will be easier to find the remaining Seven Arcs.”

Is it because I was stabbed in the middle?

Just slightly frowned.

Seeing Limon who couldn’t answer properly, Shir smiled strangely.

“Whoop whoop. Ah, you are such a bad man.”

“…”

“To bewitched and fooled such naive children, and yet not trusting them enough to openly tell them such an important story.”

“I bet you know that it’s not a matter of trust.”

“Oh, did you?”

Shir laughed.

Of course she knew.

Hesitating to answer is proof that Limon trusts the other princesses.

If it had been in the past, I would have declared that I had no intention of speaking, and I would have shut Shire tightly.

Because it’s a limon taboo.

From the first disciple, Geomhwa.

Until the last disciple, Geomhu.

It was because it was the biggest secret he had hidden even from the disciples he raised himself.

But to think that Roh Kang-ho, the guardian deity of mankind, is thinking about telling it to the princesses of the Seven Dragons, not to anyone else.

It was a strange thing, not surprising.

“But if your child speaks, you better speak quickly.”

The princesses of the Great Seven Dragons Society are all exceptional.

Even if Limon doesn’t tell you, sooner or later you’ll find out the secret of Seven Arks, and then it’ll be harder to say.

Like a good witch giving advice.

Or as a grumpy witch teases.

Seeing Sir talking playfully, Limon couldn’t help but frown even more.

* * *

It was in ruins.

it was wreckage

it was a grave

It burns, collapses, sinks, covers, crushes, and is full of cracks.

The young man who was walking along the middle of the ruins, nowhere to be found intact, suddenly stopped walking.

“Hmm.”

He wears a pair of pistols at his waist.

A rough gunman in a jacket.

Billy slowly lowered his back.

Then he turned around the empty can that had fallen at his feet and let out a sigh.

“No matter how successful a bank is, it is said that once a bank is robbed, it will go bankrupt, so this is exactly what it is.”

It’s like looking at ruins.

It was something Billy was used to.

In the first place, he was a gunman who spent his childhood during the Civil War and wandered the wilderness all his life.

engulfed in war and ruined

It’s ruined because of the fallen spirits.

Ruined by the rampage of outlaws, etc.

Because he was the one who had seen the village go bankrupt for all sorts of reasons.

The base of the Golden Dragon Clan, which was as prosperous as Las Vegas today, was even bet with his own hands.

Even so, there is one reason why Billy can’t help but sigh.

Because this place is so special.

“If I had known it would be like this, I would have visited it at least once in my life… Thanks to you, one of my bucket lists is blown away.”

He said he should have spent some money on travel instead of spending it on alcohol, girls, and casinos.

Billy honestly reflected.

Of course, it was a reflection that I had done dozens of times before losing it all by gambling.

Kurleung.

“Oops, I need to hurry up with this.”

It was only for a while that I was immersed in emotion.

Looking at the sky covered in dark clouds and spewing unusual sounds, Billy threw down the can and hurried his steps.

Of course, there was no chance of catching a cold just because it was raining, but getting wet was a bad thing.

“According to what the lady told me, this must be about this…”

While wandering around the ruins like that.

Billy suddenly stopped walking.

This is because among the burned and collapsed buildings, I found one building that stands out.

It’s already more than half torn down.

Still, Billy thought as he looked at the building towering above the other ruins nearby.

‘Here.’

I was sure.

Because this is a place that even he, who had never stepped on Europe in his life, saw at least in black and white photos.

And it was a place that ‘she’ would never miss, of course, that she would have visited as soon as she arrived in this city.

That’s why Billy straightened his posture.

instead of the usual snarky attitude.

Carefully and succinctly.

step by step.

enter the building

jerk jerk.

Through the collapsed entrance.

Through a muddy hallway.

Over a pillar that has fallen sideways.

The moment we finally arrived at the center of the building after going straight ahead.

Billy stopped walking.

because I saw

Notre-Dame de Paris.

Originally, a historical building where pilgrims from the Holy League used to visit.

However, when France was destroyed by the descent of the devil, in the middle of the ruins that collapsed along with Paris.

Beneath the multicolored glow reflected in the shards of broken stained glass.

Ahead of the altar, where rusty candlesticks, half-broken crucifixes, and dusty altars were neatly arranged.

kneeling down and praying.

A blonde haired woman.

“…”

A nun’s uniform that has been modified to make it easier to move.

armor worn over it.

Even the sword at the waist.

Her outfit, which makes her look like she’s going to a battlefield right now, is so unconventional that it’s even questionable if she’s a real nun.

That prayer is so pious.

Like a single flower, it is neat and beautiful.

Even this half-destroyed building fills with a gentle air that takes your breath away.

So it was.

What Billy kept silent about.

For even he, who babbled at Limon as well as the others, could not interrupt her prayers.

whether fortunate or unlucky

The woman soon opened her eyes on her own.

Then I got up slowly and looked back at Billy.

The moment when Billy was nervous, looking at the blue eyes that were as clear as the cloudless sky.

“I’m embarrassed.”

Red lips open.

What oozes out is a sigh.

“If I had known there would be guests, I would have cleaned it.”

“Never mind. Isn’t this because of the uninvited guests who came without contact in the first place?”

“What do you mean? Treat juniors who studied alumni as uninvited guests.”

“…I just said it out of courtesy.”

“ah….?”

Did you feel sorry for being treated like a stranger?

While admonishing with a pouty face.

Hearing Billy’s vague answer, she widened her eyes.

And he bowed his head with an embarrassed face.

“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding, junior. I’m from a farming family, so I don’t know much about etiquette.”

“As I said, you don’t have to worry about it. Rather, it is the reason why I came.”

When Billy shook his head and was about to get to the point.

It seems that I suddenly remembered.

She put her hand in her bosom.

Then, she took out a large steamed potato from the inside of her nun’s uniform and held it out.

“I don’t have anything prepared, but would you like some potatoes?”

“It’s okay. More than that…”

“These are fresh potatoes harvested this morning and steamed.”

“No, so specifications…”

“It’s delicious.”

“…Thank you for eating.”

When he heard that he would decline, Billy finally nodded as he saw her filled with a sad light.

I was very happy with that answer.

With a bright smile, she hurriedly approached Billy to hand over the potatoes.

no, i was trying to get closer.

“Yes, try it here. I’m not saying I’m from a farmer’s family.

Knocked up!

Took Degururr.

…unless you tripped on a stone and fell.

Maybe it was because I was holding a potato.

While Billy was hardened after seeing him hit the face first without even touching the floor with his hands.

she got up

And after lightly twisting the nun’s uniform.

He picked up the potato that had rolled up to Billy’s feet, wiped it off the hem of his clothes, and pushed it out again.

“Come here.”

“….”

“Don’t leave anything behind. Eat it. You know you get punished for throwing away food, right?”

As if nothing had happened.

A woman holding out steamed potatoes with a smile on her face.

And even after wiping it off, Billy couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat as he looked at the potato, which was still full of dust.
