Main Character Hides His Strength

68. The Perfect City (2)

Clariss was quite popular.

Unlike when I used to sing against the nobles in Panchuria, I now have a passionate fan and a good audience response.

After the performance, Kim Sung-cheol went backstage. Although the theater staff blocked Kim Sung-cheol's path, Kim Sung-cheol simply solved the problem by revealing his identity.

There were a lot of actors and singers in the waiting room working in disguise, memorizing scripts, tuning instruments, etc.

Kim Sung-cheol went straight to Clariss and bought the employee with money instead of talking to him.

“I saw her performance today and decided to become an avid fan and sponsor. But before I become a full patron, can I talk to you in a quiet place for a minute? ”

A single gold coin makes almost anything possible.

The employee gladly performed Kim Sung-cheol's command with a single smile.

“Go out the emergency exit and wait in the shade. I will be back with your canary shortly. ”

Kim Sung-cheol waited for Clariss to come out from behind the theater. Clariss soon appeared at the emergency door.

I was wearing casual clothes that were comfortable to work in instead of beautiful stage clothes to make sure the show was over.

You look familiar to Kim Sung-cheol.

She found Kim Sung-cheol and immediately approached and bowed her head and said in a bright voice.

“You said you wanted to see me? I'm God Clariss. ”

Clariss' voice was filled with anticipation.

But on the other hand, there was also a light on the boundary.

The backstage backers approach the actress with pure intent, but more often they don't.

Secret offerings in these cases are a common event for Clariss with a natural beauty.

Claris felt an ominous premonition when he saw Kim Sung-cheol hiding in the shade of the night.

‘There he is again. Looks like his concubine's been compromised again, seeing as it's got a nasty vibe. ’

If such an offer were to be offered, I would reject it with a dagger.

With such determination, Clariss waits for an anonymous patron to speak.

An anonymous patron stares at Clariss silently and suddenly takes off his hoodie.

Clariss was nervous for a moment.

It was an unexpected behavior.

However, what happened after that was far beyond the expected range.

“Remember me? ”

It's Kim Sung-cheol.

“Huh?”

Clariss' face freezes rapidly.

Kim Sung-cheol kept his mouth shut before Claris screamed to prevent threats.

“Don't scream. It was never a bad call. ”

Clariss continued to rebel for a long time as a strong woman. But no matter how powerful the opponent is, he is the enemy of the world. After all, Clariss was exhausted and had to settle down with her back against the wall.

“What a horrible woman. I'm told you only have a few simple questions, and you're acting like this. ”

“Ugh... Ugh... Go away. Devil..."

Clariss doesn't even have the energy to scream.

However, when she took out a single gold coin, the traditional elixir of full health, her eyes changed a bit.

“That... that's what you're trying to turn me into? That's... not funny. ”

Then Sung-cheol Kim took out a sack full of gold coins. Clariss' eyes widen.

“Answer a few questions and I'll hand this over unconditionally. ”

“Really? ”

Clariss jumps to her feet.

Kim Sung-cheol who saw it thought to himself.

‘I guess you haven't had a hard time. ’

At that time, the door on the side of the fire exit opened for some time.

Kim Sung-cheol at a glance noticed the staff watching through the door.

‘I wonder if the rumors got into her ears. I better get this over with.’

Kim Sung-cheol immediately asked Claris a few questions.

Why I'm here. Where you live now. It was a very trivial question, etc.

At the first question, Clariss said somewhat unexpectedly, slowly reforming her memory.

“The factory that I worked at during the Younger Night was smashed to pieces by the crashed aircraft. The job just flew away with it. But what can I do without a little skill other than singing? My grandfather brought me news about Ixion as I barely lived to see it fall every day. ”

Clariss' grandfather, Kurt Assam, said he had news of a rapidly spreading place in the back alley of Lagrein.

Earth-paradise ixion.

The ideal of a reality where everyone is happy.

At a time when Lagranza became a field and life became more difficult for the lower class, the happiness evangelist from Ixion began selling tickets to the heavenly paradise, wandering among the mysterious people.

Clariss's party steals all the money they have and buys a ticket to Ixion.

Surprisingly, it is said that the door to Ixion was deep in Lagranze.

“Looks like you've built a portal. ”

Claris nodded his head in Kim Sung-cheol's words.

“That was amazing. I couldn't believe it with my own eyes. In the middle of the islands is a portal through the territory of the Seven Heroes, the enemy of the Empire. Well, it's comforting to be here. ”

Clariss said that many other people besides her are coming to Ixion in real time.

In fact, the foundation of life for the people of Lagranje's lower class was completely destroyed during the midnight crisis, and the imperial government, which was in urgent need of refugee relief, had no capacity to address this situation.

“Oh, and I live outside the city. ”

Finally, Clariss pointed to where she lived.

“A settlement outside the walls. Wizards must be promoted to citizens.Ordinary people like me have to go through a difficult screening to live in the city. ”

Claris smiled gladly as he waved the bag of gold coins from Kim Sung-cheol.

“But maybe this will make a difference! ”

You hear the employee's cough on the side of the exit.

He doesn't want the story to get longer.

Kim Sung-cheol said goodbye to Claris.

“... I don't want to see you again. ”

Claris stared at Sung-cheol Kim and said in a tone of half jokes and half sincerity.

“I agree."

Kim Sung-cheol said bluntly and left.

At a distance, Clariss flies into his ears the sound of her flickering with an employee.

But I can't afford to give a shit about that kind of crap. Claris' story asked Kim Sung-cheol a lot of questions.

"Vestiaret. What is the purpose of bringing the citizens of Lagranze here?" ’

I didn't think it would be a good idea.

Even though Vestiaret now plays the role of a good city manager, her roots are disaster itself.

I don't know what he's up to.

Kim Sung-cheol later decided to stop by the settlement village where Clariss lived and took a step into the greenhouse in Shinrook, where he lived.

In front of Shinrook's greenhouse, Markaraid was waiting for Kim Sung-cheol.

“You said you met a woman named Clariss in person. ”

Markorade's expression and posture are unusual.

Kim Sung-cheol remembered one of her problems that he had forgotten when he saw her face giving a fierce serpent's eyes.

‘This woman. Jealousy was unusual. ’

To be precise, the monopoly was strong.

Like a tight-knit kid, Markorade wanted to put it all in his hands.

It's one of the reasons Kim Sung-cheol got bored.

However, if we don't clear up this misunderstanding, Clariss' life could be in danger.

This is no surprise at all, but a Markaraid would still be good enough to hack him.

Kim Sung-cheol spoke in a bold tone towards the excited Marker Raid.

“I've known you since Fanchuria. Her granddaughter Kurt Assam and I explored the Great Forest together. I'm glad we had this conversation in person. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. ”

“Kurt Assam? ”

“If you're curious, ask him yourself. ”

“I'm going to ask. If you don't want to. ”

Markorade leaves, muttering an unknown word.

As she disappears, Bertelkia in her arms trembles.

“What, her? It really... doesn't look like much. ”

“She was once a princess of this land. ”

“What if she's a princess? I can't believe that a woman would do something so spineless and so absurd. He's got no pride. I wouldn't care if I were you. ”

Former queen bee.

Kim Sung-cheol returned home with a bitter smile.

There was an unexpected incident waiting for you inside the residence.

“Send me outside. ”

Marrakia, who ate all the bad nuts and meat, stroked her belly and brazenly talked.

“Get me out of here. What do you mean?”

When Sung-cheol Kim asked, Maraki said in a meaningful tone with a sparkling eye.

“I want to drink fresh human blood. ”

“Do you want to go back inside the egg? ”

“I'm kidding. Joyne jokes sometimes. What do you think? A high-level Nahaq joke. Isn't that funny enough to rob someone of their own? ”

“ ……. ”

The air in the room freezes.

Marrakia was good at everything, but he had a flaw too. He couldn't read the air.

“Isn't that funny? Isn't it fun?”

“Whatever. Really. ”

The impatient Bertelkia mutters in her arms.

“Huh? What? This living book. How dare the Living Book disrupt the King of Doom? No matter how much you...”

Bang, bang.

Kim Sung-cheol grabbed Marrakia by the neck and lifted her up. Marrakia, small enough to get into the palm of her hand, tightens her beak.

Kim Sung-cheol took out Bertelgia while holding Marrakia.

And I said,

“This is Bertelkia. I have the highest rank right now. ”

“S-sequence...?! ”

Marrakia's pupils collapsed momentarily.

Kim Sung-cheol stared straight at Marrakia and said in a bold tone.

“Remember, Bertelkia is number one, and then you. ”

“Th-that kind of talk...! ”

Marakia immediately tried to resist, but she felt a spiritual force rushing past Kim Sung-cheol's body and closed her beak.

“Do you understand? Marrakia. No matter how good you used to be in society, no matter how good you went to college, that's fine. This is the army... or my territory. ”

Unexpectedly, Kim Sung-cheol realized that he had said something obscene to his former military subordinates and felt a fear of habit.

‘I can't believe I'm saying this 20 years ago. ’

It's hard to imagine now, but in the military he was called Base Commander Kim.

However, Kim Sung-cheol succeeded in giving Marrakia the situation and sequence because his old finger was not very rusty.

“I... I... I... can't believe I'm not the king of destruction... more than this book! ”

“A book! How rude! Can't you call me Bertelgia? ”

Until then, it was Bertelgia who was overwhelmed by the status of Marrakia, but when Kim Sung-cheol set up the sequence, it literally turned into a follicle.

There was no choice for Marrakia.

The scariest guy in the world is hanging in there, and he's insubordinate.

Anyway, after establishing a confused sequence, Marrakia resumed her story with a expressive expression.

“Hmm... I've had some unspeakable business, but I'd like to make another offer." Get me out of here. ”

Kim Sung-cheol who heard it asked, thinking that Marakia is not just saying it as a joke.

“Do you have any ideas? ”

Marakia nodded and replied to Kim Sung-cheol's question.

“I, Marrakia, am the best Nahaq with black feathers. In the meantime, you haven't wasted your time eating and drinking. All this time, I've been thinking about the curse on my body. Why the curse of extinction was lifted. I have spent a long time thinking about how these questions might be used here and resolving them. ”

“The third place has a long tongue! ”

Even though Bertelkia shouted, Kim Sung-cheol did not respond to Marakia.

Vertelgia falls into a duvet, feeling at ease.

When the silence came again, Kim Sung-cheol flashed and asked.

“Did you discover the secrets of this place? ”

“I'm not sure. But I think I know a little bit. That's why I'm ordering you. Get me out of this stuffy house. ”

“ ……. ”

Marrakia originally reigned as the most powerful wizard in another age, although her speech is close. The vastness and depth of that knowledge may be superior to all wizards of this age combined.

Kim Sung-cheol left the room holding Marrakia with expectation.

The gaze of the maids was pierced into Kim Sung-cheol's abdomen. A Marrakia hidden in a robe.

Kim Sung-cheol was unwilling to tell her about Marrakia, not only about Markorade, but also about Vestiaret.

Kim Sung-cheol blurted at them.

“You've never seen an erection before? ”

The maids turned their gazes red.

Kim Sung-cheol, who made it out of the hallway safely, stood at the door.

“You sure you're okay with this?”

Marrakia nods, spreading her wings slightly in her arms.

“Let's trust my genius sense and move slowly. ”

Kim Sung-cheol carefully moved Marakia out of the house as instructed.

It was the moment one of the feathers slipped out.

The black feather has turned white.

“Strike the feather! ”

Marrakia urgently said.
