It was a water bottle that took the form of a potion seen in the game.

What is this? My eyes weren’t fully healed yet, so I couldn’t see exactly what was in the water bottle.

As I looked at him with eyes full of questions, Count Millennium pretended to drink.

Being a father, there was no way I would try to kill my son, so I opened the cap of the water bottle without much doubt.

Seeing as Liems didn’t say anything, it’s clear that this isn’t poison or something that harms the body.

drink

It doesn’t taste good. There was no scent.

Water has a fragrance and taste. Depending on the region and situation, the taste of iron is stronger, or various kinds of fragrances are added.

The surrounding valley water full of ginseng or wild ginseng is like drinking mineral water.

Of course, ordinary people cannot easily feel it, but those with sensitive senses of taste and smell definitely feel it.

And it was the same for me.

No matter how imperfect his body was, he had more sensitive, superhuman senses than ordinary people.

The fact that I couldn’t feel anything with my sense of smell and taste was the only thought that it was made this way from the beginning.

“It doesn’t taste good.”

“I guess so. Because it feels worse not to taste anything than to feel the original taste.”

As the saying goes, it would be nice if you could taste it, but this just feels like drinking liquid literally.

To be honest, I was a bit offended.

I’d rather do it if it wasn’t tasty.

I didn’t expect that I would react like this with taste.

When I tried to leave it because it seemed like it would keep coming up from inside, Count Millennium strode forward and grabbed the water bottle and lifted it up.

I keep it in my mouth, so he cuts his throat and forces me to swallow it.

“Woo-wook… .”

“Don’t vomit. It is a precious medicine that I can only obtain once a year.”

When you try to ask if it is okay to use such a precious thing in such a careless way, hot heat wells up from within.

It’s hot, it’s so hot that I don’t even worry about whether it’s burning inside, it’s hot enough to turn my head into a blank sheet.

I couldn’t even speak or even fall down, I was in a daze.

The lava-like heat came from the heart and spread through the blood vessels throughout the body.

“… What is this?”

The voice didn’t come out well.

I hadn’t screamed like crazy, or hadn’t just woken up, but my voice was hoarse.

At least the heat went away and I was able to come to my senses belatedly.

“I told you. It’s medicine.”

“What kind of medicine is it… .”

I couldn’t follow back.

While I was talking, the hot heat disappeared, and the indescribable refreshing feeling made me ecstatic.

Seeing my expression like that, Count Millennium nodded in satisfaction.

“It’s an elixir. To be precise, it’s a diluted elixir… Still, the effect is not certain.”

crazy. I almost cursed without realizing it.

Elixir.

An all-purpose potion that appears at least once in a fantasy novel.

It completely restores people who are about to die, extends their lifespan, and makes them healthy.

In addition to that, the elixir gives the user great power.

And it was the same in this world where I am.

The saintess had to refrain from eating and drinking for a year and prayed to be able to make it.

Even that is only 100ml, and no additional elixir can be made for 3 years after making it.

Her holy power was depleted, and the influence she could exert on the world through God also disappeared.

That’s why it was not easy to do even in the holy kingdom.

‘The aura has doubled… .’

It is said that what I drank was two drops of the elixir diluted in water.

But the moment I drank it, I felt pain, but all the bad things left in my body disappeared.

Even the sight, which was not good due to the side effects of the authority, became clear in an instant, so I said everything.

I thought it was great because the vitality also increased there.

The power of the two drops of elixir was enormous.

The amount of aura I had previously was twice that of normal articles.

In the first place, it was a body like a river connected to the sea to draw and use an external aura.

But now the mouth of the river has been greatly widened.

If the width was 50m in the past, now it is 100m, which is twice that.

Anyway, that’s not bad for me.

On the contrary, it can be seen as good.

Because one of the things a Master needs is the quantity and quality of Auras.

‘At this level, I can say that I have reached the highest level.’

Like the Elixir, also called the Elixir of the Gods, I madly raised the quality and quantity of the aura I had.

Of course, he had to train physically, but he unintentionally solved a necessary process.

It’s good, but it’s clear that it’s good, but I can’t hide the strange feeling.

If it’s this precious, it won’t be easy to get it like he said.

Being around the age of Millennium Earl, you can get it even if it is diluted, but other nobles don’t have a chin.

It was questionable that such a precious place was fed to me without any reason, demand, or condition.

“What do you want?”

I couldn’t help but be nervous.

If he said he did it simply because he wanted to treat his child, he was confident that he would tell him not to say bullsh*t.

Count Millennium and I were not very close.

It was only recently that I had changed and things had changed, but my relationship with him was still strained.

It has to be, before I came, Raymond had tarnished the name Millennium in all sorts of ways.

No, it wasn’t strange to say that he was smeared with poop.

No matter how good you have been lately, that doesn’t mean it can alleviate all the sediment that has accumulated over the years.

“I can give it to my son. Do you think I did it because I wanted something?”

“Yes.”

When I didn’t deny it, he just nodded instead of frowning.

It was a natural reaction.

“You can think so, but this time I just gave it with a pure heart, so there is no need to be so vigilant.”

It’s easy, it’s not that easy.

It’s not a regular potion, it’s the elixir that you can’t buy even if you give it billions of dollars.

Naturally, it wasn’t strange that I felt pressured.

Rather, it’s crazy to accept that statement with an ‘Ah, that’s right’.

On the contrary, it was even more frightening when he said that.

What on earth do you want me to do, what do you want me to do?

However, there was no one around to answer my doubts, so I had no choice but to ask him directly.

“It is strange that there are no boundaries. We’re not that close, aren’t we?”

At my direct words, he scratched his cheek with a strange expression.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded, saying he wasn’t wrong.

“But I thought we’d gotten a little better lately.”

“It’s ‘a little bit’.”

And, even that was just out of necessity.

Originally, I would never have had a personal conversation with him.

The only reason I talk to him is to ask why I’ve changed, to find out what’s going on, when he calls, or when I ask for something I want or need to do.

Other than that time, being with him was burdensome and frustrating for me.

He’s not a witty or humorous person, and he’s very reticent, which creates a suffocating atmosphere unless he’s on business.

I don’t like it very much.

No, I think it’s the same even if it’s not me.

Who likes the suffocating silence?

“If you think so, there is nothing you can do. But it’s true. Millennium has benefited a lot thanks to what you have done this time.”

Oh, then it made me feel a little relieved.

If it was paying for my actions, I could comfortably accept it.

If that’s the case, I’ll tell you right away.

My heart was dozing off because of the steam.

“All right. I drank well. Then can I just go?”

“Is there anything else you want to tell me?”

“I know that Ellis did the report, but… .”

“Yeah, I heard the report. But it’s a different feeling than listening to the person in question. Instead, let’s go to my office and have an in-depth conversation.”

“… .”

hate.

But I couldn’t say no.

I had no choice but to follow the words he brought out before I could refuse.

“It’s good to erase the thought of running away. Unless you want to spread your pet far and wide.”

Pets.

It was not difficult to see that the word meant Reems.

How the hell did that happen?

cold sweat flows It seems like a big case has been solved, but for some reason it feels like it has gotten bigger.

“Then go.”

He turns his back and raises the corner of his mouth at my hardened expression.

I followed him like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.

“Uh, Raymond too… ah… .”

Those who found me approached and stopped when they saw Count Millennium.

Seeing my expression and mood, they instinctively sensed that it was not the right time to talk and immediately turned around and left.

I walked to the office as if I were an invisible ghost that everyone could see.

“Do you drink tea? Well, there is only black tea.”

He drives me in the car himself and invites me to take a seat.

I sat down on the sofa and swallowed dry saliva.

My head is complicated.

What should I say? What excuse should I make?

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t come up with a good excuse.

In a different sense, it feels like a blank slate.

‘How on earth do you know?’

Did I ever tell him about Liems?

no, no

At that time, I was very worried about the existence of dragons.

What would happen if other dragons saw Reems, and how terrifying would it be if humans knew of Reems’ existence?

Each of the dragon’s body was asleep with a tremendous amount of energy.

‘No, it won’t be. How did I know that the mercenary king, Bane, or at least the chief couldn’t be found?’

I decided to think that I was talking about something other than Liems.

yes, that’s normal

I was overreacting.

“drink. It’s a very good quality car that came down from above.”

I hesitantly grabbed the teacup.

And it was time to take a sip.

“Is it worth raising a dragon?”

Pooh!

I unknowingly spouted the black tea that was in my mouth.

The red tea water pours like a fountain.

Fortunately, Count Millennium swung his hand away as if he had expected it and put away the black tea I had spit out.

“Cool, cool. what is that… .”

“The fact that you’ve followed me this far means you roughly expected it, right?”

Crazy, crazy crazy crazy crazy.

Worst case scenario.

What should I explain? My mind went blank at the sight of him who confirmed Reems.
