Chapter 97

My heart involuntarily beat faster the moment I saw the words .  No, I didn't understand why this was here .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is making a blank expression . ]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' says to go ahead and grab it!]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' wants you to have Alexus' Fork Spoon!]

This guy was making a lot of fuss . Indeed, I could understand why .  From the beginning, it was Prometheus who had a lot of contact with Alexus .  He traveled with Alexus, fought alongside him, and cooked with him .  Prometheus had waited 500 years in the darkness for Alexus' successor .  Prometheus and Alexus were bound by a deeper bond than I thought .

“Father, this is . . . ?” Kim Sujeong next to me seemed to notice .

I nodded .  “Yes, I didn't know it would be here . ”

“Will you get this one?”

"Of course . Prometheus is clamoring . I have to get that . ”

“Huhut . Then go and grab it . ”

“I know . ” I picked the spoon straight away .

-Sealed skill .

A fork spoon made from 'Elbaprium,' one of the legendary giant minerals .

Alexus, former king of Atlan, was an innovative thinker who combined a fork with a spoon .

Text was written at the end of the handle .

“A chef has nothing to fear from fire . ” — Alexus A . ]

I felt strange when I read the item window . It was really Alexus' item that I knew .  I didn't know I would get this here .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is looking at Alexus' things with red eyes . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is handing over a handkerchief . ]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is throwing away the handkerchief . ]

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is handing over a handkerchief . ]

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is wiping his tears and blowing his nose . ]

I hadn't expected him to cry . . .

Kim Sujeong asked, “Do you like it? You must be disappointed because it is a spoon . ”

“Huh? What do you mean?”

“You know . Father is a strong chef, strong enough to use weapons, but this is just a spoon . . . ”

“No, this is enough . ”

“Indeed, isn't it enough with your kicks? Huhut . ”

In fact, I didn't mean it that way but she was misunderstanding .  Well, it was okay this way .  Every member of the group picked what they wanted .  Kim Sujeong picked a ring that boosted her health while Gyeonso Dragon got a pair of gloves with good attack power .  Finally, Drain . . .

“Demit! There is nothing I like! Shet!”

It seemed there was nothing that caught his eye .  I told Drain, “Just pick anything . ” 

After a short time, we headed back to the village of the frost orcs .  We walked through the labyrinth .  Drain eventually picked some small gems to attach to his clothes and ice diamonds only available here in the North Pole .  There was just one problem .

“Ohh, I'd love to put these gems on my clothes . Pantasutik!”

Stupid fool . Why did he choose that one? If I knew he was going to pick this, I would've been watching from the sidelines and stopped him .  My reason for doing this was obvious—the ice diamonds will melt as soon as they leave the North Pole .

“Hohoho .  Kyutu jewels~!”

Well, he was feeling good now so I would leave it alone .  I thought it would be worth seeing what Drain looked like later .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is shaking his head . ]

This guy knew it as well .  By my side, I heard Kim Sujeong sighing .  “Oh, I would've liked to take Pono with me . It is a shame . ”

“Are you that upset?”

“Yes, he's so cute . There is a lot of affection . ”

“What about Cer?”

“Cer is naturally cute! Come here, Cer!”

“Kwal!”

Cer, who had been resting in a corner of the cave, ran and jumped into her arms .  Kim Sujeong's face instantly became covered with saliva and she was laughing happily .

Then Sven asked from next to me, “Chwik .  Are you leaving now?”

“Um, probably . ”

“I see . ”

“Why? Do you have something to say?”

“Um, that . . . ” Sven hesitated .  It seemed he had something to ask .  Should I listen?

“Talk to me . It seems you have a request . ”

“Um, in fact, I like to do research .  Chwiik . ”

“Yes . , I looked at your room and this seems to be the case . ”

“I can confidently say that the development of the frost orc's civilization in the last 100 years was all thanks to my research . Of course, I borrowed parts from a nearby city but . . . we moved here to the southernmost point to study Murder's blood . Based on that, I created the current poisonous needles .  Chwiik . ”

Mudur's blood? Oh, was this why I didn't get poisoned? I later found out about it but my body was now resistant to spider venom .  It was due to the inner cores of the spider king and spider queen . It was also well-known from Gorba that Mudur had died from spider venom .  Then his blood would naturally be full of spider venom .  It wasn't a coincidence that I was. .h.i.t by the poisonous needles and wasn't affected .

“I see . ”

“There is something I would like to ask you . ”

“Tell me . ”

“I want to touch your body . ”

“W-What?”

I raised my hands reflexively and covered my body .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is fl.u.s.tered by the sudden confession . ]

[The fist star, 'Raitra,' is showing strange curiosity . ]

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is wondering how he will touch . ]

“My body? W-Why?”

“I want to put Mudur's blood in your body . ”

. . . Ah, this was what he meant .

I coughed .  “Cough . Why do you want to do this?”

“Recently, I was looking for a way to strengthen the frost orcs by putting Mudur's blood into the body of the frost orcs . This is to eliminate the weaknesses of us orcs but I eventually failed . Still, I think it might be possible if it is you .  Chwiiik . ”

Was this brat angry because he lost the duel? I really had this thought .  It was hard to understand Sven in front of me .  It was true that a genius was eccentric .

“What do I get from it?”

“Chwik .  You'll be able to gain strength . ”

“Hrmm, strength . . . ”

I was troubled for a moment .  Could I trust Sven? In a movie, there would usually be a development where the entire body was modified to become an artificial human .  What should I do?

Sven told me, “I won't overdo it . ”

“Really?”

I couldn't believe it .  It was due to the message that appeared in front of my eyes .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' has an ominous feeling . ]

Nothing good had ever happened whenever I saw this message .  The moment I was about to turn down Sven's offer, Camille's message stopped me .  

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' is saying it isn't ominous all the time . ]

“Eh? No, he has been feeling something ominous all day . ”

[The firefly star, 'Camille,' says that his prophecy ability is now incomplete . ]

“I think I have heard that before . . . ”

The first time I had heard this was when I met Prometheus at the Star Coffee House .  Didn't he say that his prophetic ability wasn't the same as before because he was missing one arm? Finally, Prometheus' message came up .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is nodding . ]

Did this jerk make an uncertain prophecy? Suddenly, I felt some distrust toward him .  I couldn't help pouting and glaring and I could feel Prometheus' emotions .

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is coughing and s.h.i.+fting his gaze . ]

This bad guy .

“Why are you speaking to yourself? Chwiik . ” Sven was staring at me .

I was embarra.s.sed for a moment and couldn't help coughing .  “Cough, it isn't a big deal . Can I believe you?”

“Chwiiik .  Of course . ” Sven licked his lips .

After splitting up with the group, I wandered through the labyrinth again .  Gyeonso Dragon said he wanted to test the performance of his newly acquired gloves by hunting nearby monsters and Kim Sujeong said she would follow along .  Now there was Drain next to me .  “It has been a long since I've been alone with Buroder . ”

“That's right . Isn't this the first time since Mulan?”

“Yes, it seems like yesterday when you wanted to learn English from me . ”

“Haven't I made progress in my English?”

“No, you still have a long way to go . ”

“d.a.m.n you . What's wrong with telling me that I've improved?”

Drain replied, “However, that isn't the case . ”

Sven was walking in front of us and looked back as we talked .  Maybe we were too noisy .

I spoke to Drain in a quiet voice, “Hey, I have a question . ”

“What is this . . . ?”

“At that time, I mean . The time I first applied for a party with you . ”

“Ah! I remember . How surprised was I at that time? It was really good . ”

“Yes . Do you remember what you said when you were surprised?”

“Ah, that . . .  hahaha . ” Drain laughed with embarra.s.sment and scratched the back of his head .

I asked him, “What does it mean? I wanted to ask for a long time but I forgot . ”

I heard a detailed explanation from Drain .  It turned out that 'Wat da park' was considered a swear word . It was a Western swearing used when something very absurd happened .  Drain told me, “I was sorry at the time . It came out habitually without my knowledge . ”

“It's okay . In fact, there was nothing wrong . Still, what is the p.r.o.nunciation? Wat-dpark?”

It was p.r.o.nounced in a manner similar to 'hamburger . ' d.a.m.n . Suddenly, I was hungry .

“No, you need to make your last p.r.o.nunciation stronger . Now follow me . Ppark!”

“Ppark!”

“Gut job! That's how you say it . Gut, gut!”

Drain had just raised his thumb when the scenery around us suddenly changed .  I felt something dismal and creepy .

“We're nearly there . Over here .  Guruk . ” Sven was pointing to another cave .

I could see a staircase leading down to endless darkness . It was deeper than I thought and I couldn't help gulping .  d.a.m.n, this was obviously sinister . . .  So I have to come here?

[The first apostle, 'Prometheus,' is praying for you . ]

. . . This son of a b.i.t.c.h . He didn't send a message that it was ominous anymore .  Prometheus was calm despite sending that message a few times .  I sighed deeply and followed Sven into the cave .  How far did we go down? We were finally able to reach the bottom .

“This is the blood of the primordial orc, Mudur .  Chwiiik . ”

My eyes followed Sven's fingers and I saw a huge pool of blood .  No, the blood flow was enough to call it a river of blood .  I looked at it and shouted, “Wat-dpa . . . ”
