Main Character Hides His Strength

44. Servant Horse (1)

Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia were watching the little golem.

A small golem walks over the stone grapes of the ruins and removes small debris from the grapes.

Heavy stones were lifted lightly since they were stronger than they were physical, and even rocks that looked difficult were moved using magic.

After 50 minutes of nonstop work, the golem leaves the ruins and heads somewhere.

Kim Sung-cheol and Bertelkia followed the golem.

When the golem arrived, it was a secret garden hidden in the forest.

All sorts of colorful flowers bloomed in a small fountain of crystal clear water and all sorts of colorful butterflies were flying around.

The golem stood in the corner of the garden and stared at the garden for a while.

“Wow, this place is beautiful. Isn't that right?"

Bertelkia joyfully flew over the flower garden with butterflies as if she were feeling better.

Kim Sung-cheol didn't feel bad either.

‘Nice place you got here. I hope I can show it to him someday. ’

Butterflies with thin, sparkly wings sat quietly at the edge of Kim Sung-cheol's clothes, spreading their wings for a moment and resting.

Kim Sung-cheol slowly folded and relaxed his mind, looking at the unknown butterfly's wings with his eyes.

Clouds are swiftly flowing over the thickets.

It's going to rain soon.

At that time, the resting little golem resumed.

Kim Sung-cheol's group follows the golem after a break.

The little golem resumes his work.

I repeated a simple and arduous task of cleaning up and moving the debris.

Kim Sung-cheol felt a question.

"He looks like a golem with a self. ’

Luckily, there is Bertelgia next to Kim Sung-cheol.

Kim Sung-cheol immediately asked a question.

“Bertelkia. The golem. What do you think?”

“Hm. I'm sure you have a self. It uses adra stones that have embedded the soul of the carbunkle as its nucleus. But clearly that golem is behaving strangely. It's because it behaves like a golem who has no self, even though he has a self. ”

“Why do you think that is? ”

“Well, I don't know. Maybe it's that individual's personality I see. ”

“Carbunkles?”

“The smartest one in the carbunkle is on top of people's heads. But I don't know if he's been working that hard on the beast. Did you mix the souls of the ants? No, that's impossible. ”

“Hmm... I see. ”

The important thing is to get to know the golem.

According to Zatos' explanation, the key to the Multi-Parent Palace is to build a deep bond with the Carbunkle that will become a second magical portal.

‘By the way, why is that golem doing such a thing without getting inside the lion's cloak? ’

Kim Sung-cheol revived the description of Sazatos in the ruins.

Soon, Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Among the words left by Zaatos:

[But remember: Even if you put it in adra, if you don't win the heart of the King's Carbunkle, it could be as useless as a man rolling around outside.]

This little golem must be the one rolling around outside what Zaatos said.

If that is true, the golem has kept this ruin alone for thousands of years in the previous disaster.

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly felt a deep compassion for that small, clumsy golem.

"You've been guarding the ruins here alone for thousands of years?" What a lonely and lonely fate. ’

You can't enter the adra on your own.

The soul was forcibly extracted and trapped in the adra stone. Useless, it was mobilized into meaningless labor.

But why?

Kim Sung-cheol thought to watch more time and watch the small golem's actions.

The little golem continued to work around the ruins, cleaning up the debris that had fallen on the grapes.

Endless work, never-ending work.

Meanwhile, the little golem encounters a big challenge.

We are faced with a huge debris that cannot be lifted by the power of arms or by magic.

“Gyu Woong.”

For the first time, a small golem made a sound.

I feel a cute corner somewhere, though it's a golem-specific roar.

“Look at that. Poor thing.”

Bertelkiah watches him quietly and suddenly stabs Kim Sung-cheol in the shoulder with a book edge.

“Hey, tough guy. Why don't you help out the good golem? Don't you have anything better to do than struggle and catch people? ”

“You're a good cook, too. ”

Kim Sung-cheol walked towards the small golem.

The debris is blocked in front of you, so that you can see the end by lifting your head vertically.

This gigantic debris, which seems to require the mobilization of hundreds of horses, could barely be drawn out, was moved by only one man's power.

“ ……. ”

Kim Sung-cheol felt a spiritual force flowing through his body and threw a huge debris over his body.

‘Hmm... It's hard to do this at this age, though. ’

Kim Sung-cheol stared at the little golem as he felt his back slightly tingled.

The little golem stared quietly at Kim Sung-cheol, with two eyes like a sliding glass bead, as if for the first time he was interested in Kim Sung-cheol.

“Gyu Woong?”

However, for a short while, the golem resumed his work.

After watching the work for a while, Sung-cheol felt hungry and headed to the river.

There were fish everywhere in the great rivers that crossed the Great Forest.

“Hmm."

Kim Sung-cheol enjoyed eating freshwater fish, but he wanted to eat something different today.

I looked around and saw a marsh connected to the river.

Cotton that grew as long as a man's height was rarely found in the marsh.

Kim Sung-cheol discovered a huge crab crawling under cotton.

Ta-da.

Several clay crabs cooked red on the fire that burned by the river.

I didn't use any other spices.

It's just a natural cooking method that can be cooked in a fire.

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed a ripe claw foot and pulled it straight down.

Full white flesh brings out steam and seduces Kim Sung-cheol's disguise.

There is no such thing as a one-mouth Behr Mooney heaven on earth.

“Hmm."

[This dish scores... 22 points!]

Earning this score from raw materials alone means that the ingredients are just as good.

‘The Razor Scream Mountains aren't bad either. ’

“Sounds delicious.”

Bertelgia wandered around Kim Sung-cheol for some reason, regardless of Kim Sung-cheol's cooking.

“I like it. ”

“That's too bad. ”

Kim Sung-cheol said dry and ate another claw.

Vertelgia sighs for a while as if she had lost interest and suddenly opened her mouth while floating around Kim Sung-cheol.

“Oh, right. Can we relax like this? Zaatos, don't you think we should go catch that son of a bitch? ”

“It's not us we need to go to, it's the Zaatos. ”

“Is it the weapon? ”

Bertelkia asks, "I don't know what you're talking about."

Kim Sung-cheol nodded.

Bertelgia looked at Kim Sung-cheol's face and asked again.

“That... where did you get that...? ”

“I got it. ”

“To whom?"

“You don't need to know that. ”

Kim Sung-cheol just cut it off and said.

“Yes, I see! I wasn't really curious or anything! ”

“ ……. ”

After Bertelkia was silent, Kim Sung-cheol silently continued to eat.

All the mud crabs that were filled were left with shells and rolled around on the floor.

Kim Sung-cheol took a bite of a piece of fruit he had seen while circling the jungle and headed back towards the small golem.

The little golem was still working endlessly.

However, unlike before, there was one difference.

It was a small golem's path.

It was moving toward a certain point in the ruins that had collapsed, rather than just cleaning up around it.

There is a small path through the golem.

The golem seems to be trying to break through to some point.

“Why don't you help? You must have eaten. Reduced your time, increased your liking. ”

Bertelkia said.

Kim Sung-cheol walked towards a small golem, thinking it wasn't bad.

“Gyu Woong?”

The little golem looked at Kim Sung-cheol closely and continued his work.

As Kim Sung-cheol put it into practice, his work speed increased by an elixir.

‘It's been a long time. Doing this. ’

How much work did you do that for?

The little golem stops moving.

In front of Kim Sung-cheol and the small golem, a familiar statue stood out.

"Is this...? ’

This is the exact replica I saw in Ekhart's room before he was attacked by the Zaatos.

The little golem carefully organized around it.

“Gyu Woong.”

After finishing cleaning, the little golem gazed at Sung-cheol Kim.

It seemed to mean to touch the statue once.

Kim Sung-cheol slowly reached out his hand and reached for Ekhart's model.

Then a faint string appeared before my eyes.

Some of the characters seem to have been lost due to the destruction of the ruins, but some of them are still active.

Kim Sung-cheol lifted his eyes and read the string.

[… With the desiccated Bertelgians around the world, we should be able to defeat the forces of the world's threatening fishermen and fishermen, as well as the priests of the deep sea. But I think we should leave the deep sea to Brother Satos and Sister Vestiaret.]

“Do you see Bertelgia? ”

Kim Sung-cheol asked.

Bertelkia waves.

“Huh? What are you talking about? ”

“Take a look at this model. ”

When Sung-cheol Kim spoke, Bertelkia conferred against the rebellion and brought a bookshelf edge to the golem's model.

“Oh!”

Looks like it's finally been seen by Bertelkia.

The text continued.

[If you're an alchemist, you can keep your shoulders up. Alchemists can't create oil out of nothing like God, but they can create hope out of despair!]

“Dad left it behind, didn't he? ”

Vertelgia shivers lightly.

Kim Sung-cheol nodded his head and put the last sentence in his eyes.

[If you see a carpenter wandering around outside, be nice to him. He's very nice. I should have dried it when I put it in the adra. Anyway, he's a good guy.I want you to take good care of him for me. Do you know if he's opening up to you?]

That's the end of the text.

Kim Sung-cheol suddenly looked up at the small golem standing next to him.

“Gyu Woong?”

A small golem made a sound, looking down at Kim Sung-cheol with a glass bead.

‘You led me here to show me this. ’

Bertelkia was on the shoulders of a small golem and was speaking in a gentle voice.

“Your name is Carbon. ”

“Gyu Woong!”

The little golem nods.

“It's a fatherly sense of naming. But it's better than this guy, right? ”

Bertelkia turns to Kim Sung-cheol.

“Do you have a problem with the sense of my name? ”

“You're going to put something on him again. ”

“Fabre is a great man. ”

A major change occurred to the small golem's body while he was in a state of ecstasy.

The fuselage surrounding the nucleus opened itself, revealing the adra that was hidden inside it.

Both Sung-cheol Kim and Bertelkia kept their mouths shut and watched the small golem's sudden actions.

Carbund speaks in action.

Take care of yourself.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden? Did you already gain the heart of Carbon? That can't be happening. ”

Bertelkia said.

Kim Sung-cheol was the same idea.

Because his charm is 28 like luck.

The neighborhood's longcat charm is disgraceful.

But somehow, Kim Sung-cheol seemed to know the heart of the little golem.

"You must have been lonely. You must have been alone for thousands of years. ’

Kim Sung-cheol also spent nearly 10 years in solitude.

Kim Sung-cheol knows how hard it is to spend a long time alone.

Kim Sung-cheol, who spent only 10 years alone, how could he have spent more than a thousand years alone?

Kim Sung-cheol reached out and took the white adra in the golem.

Then a glowing letter appeared in front of his eyes.

Kim Sung-cheol's eyes reminded me of this.

[Servant horse]

Mercit Carbunkle (Adra Stone)

A new category has opened in the status window.

‘So, Bertelgia is not a slave. ’

I knew that I was an independent individual, but this became clear.

There was another amazing thing. The minister in the adra directly conveyed the meaning to Kim Sung-cheol's consciousness.

Kim Sung-cheol opened his mouth in a low voice, looking at the adra.

“What? Make me a golem to clean this place up for you?" ”

The adra gives a faint glow as if it were positive.
