Record of a Thousand Lives
36th Revolution
All demons are dead.
It was a trade-off for three heroes.
‘You and I are the only ones left alive. ’
The great alchemist Minerva said, wrapping his bloodied arm.
Syrian was the only one unharmed.
‘I see.'
Minerva sighs and sits on a rock.
In a short breath, she felt her heart throbbing.
Minerva stares at the spear through his heart.
‘Cough...! ’
She barely made it through the near collapse.
Minerva looks at the Syrian with furious eyes.
‘I knew it…… it was you…… that was trying to open the door…… of the Pandemonium…. ’
‘Yeah, you're too quick to tell. Minerva. You should've been killed by the Devil. I ended up killing you with my own hands. ’
‘What…… is your goal……? Why...... did you betray us...! ’
Syrian squeezes his spear hard through his heart.
Minerva falls down, vomiting blood.
The Syrian swings his spear and drains the blood of the day.
‘Don't worry. The Pandemonium's door won't open yet. I still have a lot to prepare to bring the Magpie this way. ’
The video was cut off from there.
It ended in a scene where anyone was curious about the back.
Shanette couldn't keep her mouth shut.
Particularly, the appearance of the last Syrian was so shocking.
The king of all creation was always known to be a serious and great leader.
A Syrian like that betrayed his heroes and tried to open the door to the Pandemonium?
Everyone except Janet was dumbstruck.
The first thing Ramax said calmly.
“Write down what you've all seen. ”
The excavators took out their notes and began writing what they had just seen with graphite or fountain pen.
I sketched the real heroes' appearance or wrote their tone.
“What are you going to do with that? ”
“You have to remember history. I don't think I'll ever see that vision again. We'll have to ask the Imperial or Capital historian for official records later. ”
“But will people believe this? The great Syrian hero who betrayed humanity. ”
Shanette said in a worrying tone.
“Of course it's true, but the wise won't believe it. People want a serious, great king of all things. ”
Ramax smiles.
The old man's last words lingered in his mind.
“History must always be true. Even if it's more embarrassing than the diary under the bed. Isn't that obvious? ”
* * *
“Huff-! Huff-! ”
The young men of the training ground polished their swords as they sweated.
Henryk opens his eyes in a daze of puzzlement.
With those guys who sniffed out the garbage.
Henryk is buried in the garbage churning around his ribs, as usual.
Of course, he wasn't always buried here because he liked it.
When he wakes up drunk, he's always lying in the garbage.
“It's called homicidal instinct. Like a migratory bird leaving his hometown eventually returning to the land where he was born. ”
Henry wakes up mumbling.
Then he looked at the two men and women in front of him.
“What is it?”
“I brought some Ancient Stone. ”
“Huh?"
Henryk pinches his cheek while making a strange look.
“I don't think you're that drunk yet. ”
Kang Yoon-soo took the ancient stone out of his backpack without a word.
The boulder that was big enough to be lifted by hand was crude looking.
Henryk looks at the rocks carefully, shaking his head.
“Look at this guy? You really brought the originals, didn't you? ”
Then Henry looked at Yoon-soo with a skeptical glance.
“Can you do polishing? ”
“Yes.”
“Go ahead.”
Henryk gives you the Sculpture in his arms.
On the outside, it was just an old sculpture, but the symbols engraved on the blade and sack were strangely refined.
Kang Yoon-soo held the sculpture like a shortsword in one hand.
“Oh, wait, wait. ”
Henryk shakes his hand.
He scratched his cheek and said.
“The Ancient Stone is still the best material...... Do you think it takes polishing around the Garbage Depot to form? I know a place. Polish it there. ”
He took them to a unique tavern.
The interiors of the tavern were very luxurious, but the drunks were drinking freely.
When I saw Henryk's behavior, there were no drunks who felt uneasy.
That's how long Henryk has been in and out of this tavern.
As the three enter, the elf dressed in breastplate slowly walks in.
She said gracefully with her gift.
“Henryk, pay the price. ”
“Hey, Latenza. Were we that desperate? ”
“Is there faith before money? ”
“Considering how many friendships melt like the first snow in front of a warranty, I'd say no. ”
An elf called Latenza slaps Henry on the forehead with a weak fist.
Henryk slaps his head and says, "Moore."
Seeing that scene, Shanette whispered with a strange face.
“I felt it at first, but something's wrong with him. ”
Latenza nods, and Henryk rises to the top of the stage with the ancient stone.
The ancient stone is centered on the stage and he shouts.
“Now, everybody, pay attention. I brought you something amazing today! ”
Henryk claps his hands and shouts, and the drunks' gaze converges toward him.
He stepped off the stage and pointed to the Ancient Stone in the middle.
“Polish over there. If you're not good enough, be careful, you're embarrassed, not just me. ”
Kang Yoon-soo went up to the stage.
Drunks have been provoking.
“Woo! What the hell, that blue kid! ”
“Henryk, you bastard! If you're going to do it, you have to do it! ”
“Do I have to watch the rocks turn to sand in a bar? ”
Kang Yoon-soo erected a sculpture of Henrik and carved an ancient stone.
His grip on the sculpture was quick and sophisticated.
Rugged rocks gradually turned clear.
Suddenly, the drunks couldn't help but wonder when the jewelry was polished to give a resplendent light.
“Hey! He's better than I thought. ”
“Henryk! Is that your apprentice? ”
“I think you're better than Henryk. ”
Kang Yoon-soo polished the jewels instantly onstage.
The ancient stone of the Marriage, which was just a huge rock, gave off a deep, sparkly glow.
Determined Confounding Stone
A magic stone made by carving ancient stones. It contains the powerful power of death. Immediately breaks the Pokémon's hidden Magical Power. Also, if swallowed beyond the neck, it will turn into an undead. However, it will never return to its original form.

Kang Yoon-soo slowly came down from the stage.
Latenza approaches him with a gentle gait.
“Excellent work. It's the best polisher I've ever seen. Do you think you could make me another handmade item? ”
She was willing to give you a secret quest right away.
It was before Kang Yoon-soo answered Moore.
Shanette approaches and smiles.
“No, we're busy on our way. There are also quests already in progress. ”
“Oh, what a shame. ”
Latenza sweeps her pretty cheeks with one hand.
Henryk was sitting at the corner table.
The two sat across from Henryk.
He looked at Kang Yoon-soo with a heartfelt look.
“That's enough for me to admit. Just in case, you really were a great craftsman, weren't you? ”
“I'm unemployed.”
“You're not a weaver with that skill set? You're just as talented as the young people these days. What kind of fool taught you how to do a job, and you're good at it? ”
Kang Yoon-soo said, looking back at Henrik.
“You.”
“What?"
“No, I'm not.”
Henryk looks at him with an odd look and takes a drink.
Kang Yoon-soo ordered a strong drink and drank without a word.
Shanette opens her mouth, anxious as the two men drink alone.
“So, when are you going to give it to us? ”
“You should give it to him. If you have a quest, you must protect it. But there is one small problem. ”
“What is it?”
“What is your destination now? ”
Kang Yoon-soo said low.
“Deferon, the capital of the empire. ”
“Good. Join me on your journey. ”
“Huh."
“Really? Have a drink. Then why half? ”
“They're with you.”
“Hmm. Well, it doesn't matter. ”
The two men gave each other a drink without hesitation.
Only Shanette was unable to adapt to the bizarre conversation.
“Now, wait a minute! You're coming with us? ”
“Why, did you two become lovers? ”
“Oh, no! ”
“Then come with me. Wouldn't it be great if there was a guy in the crowd? ”
Henryk replies softly.
“My family's family's family is in the capital anyway. You're gonna need my help to find it. I've been thinking about going to the capital lately. I'm a little bored to go alone. I wouldn't worry about getting lost while drinking with you guys. ”
“…… That's why you're coming with us? ”
“Do I need a big reason to shoot? So, what, you guys are traveling to save the world? ”
“Yes.”
“What nonsense. ”
“Oh, no. ”
Shanette sighs and shakes her head.
Is this what Kang Yoon-soo was going to do?
I'm not exactly opposed to Henry joining the party.
But Shanette was worried about what role Henryk, the goldsmith, could play in the journey.
They are on a journey to solve a legendary quest, rather than a normal trip.
Of course, even if you're not a fighter, you'll be able to travel with them, but eventually you'll feel left out of Henryk's mind.
