Record of a Thousand Lives

Tsk.

Kang Yoon-soo inserted the blade just before the wall completely closed.

The wall reopened with a friction sound.

Minerva glances at him.

“You said you didn't have coffee. ”

“I'll make it myself. ”

“…… come in. ”

Kang Yoon-soo walked to the space beyond the wall.

Three men followed behind him.

When I came inside, I noticed a strange laboratory.

Henryk rolls his eyes.

“It's a lot wider than it looks out there. ”

The lab was a small mansion level.

There were all sorts of tools and various books filled with books that could not be predicted for use.

Even in the left-hand corner, there were stairs to walk through the upper and lower floors.

“That's odd. I can't find a room as wide as the chancellor. ”

“I think I know why. You've been to similar places before. ”

Shanette said, being careful not to touch the glass tube holding the strange creature.

“This place must be made of alchemy. like the Chimeric Dimension or the Vampire City of Sangenium. ”

Iris takes a deep breath like a little puppy.

“There's a lot of mysterious scents here. ”

Minerva said with his eyes fixed on the book.

“How do you make your coffee? ”

“Good beans are good pickers. ”

“Good. If anyone didn't know how to make coffee, they wouldn't even let him into my lab. ”

She points to the other side.

“There are ingredients in that room, so I need a cup of coffee in 30 minutes. ”

The group walks to the room Minerva pointed at.

A warm light spills out as you open the door.

As he looks into the room, Henry frowns.

“Do you see that? I'm not the only one, am I? ”

“Yes, I can see it in my eyes. ”

Henryk had a taste for it.

“That's a relief. At least I didn't ruin it myself. ”

Iris admired it purely.

“Little sunshine. ”

There was a glow floating on the ceiling like a fist.

The ground is covered with fine soil, and on the other side is a very small stream.

The most noticeable were the coffee trees with hot sunlight.

Kang Yoon-soo picked a bunch of red ripe coffee fruits.

Shanette asked in horror.

“Kang Yoon-soo. Why is there such a thing in the room? ”

“Coffee trees grow in hot places. ”

“Is that the sun? ”

“Huh."

“... you made the sun in your room because of coffee? ”

Shanette once again looked at the small sun and said,

“But who can make the sun if they want to? ”

“Minerva.”

Shanette swallows a dry saliva.

“Did he really just say he was an ancient hero, Minerva? ”

“Huh."

“But he's a great man who died a long time ago. I remember seeing him die in the Red Rock Excavation Site. But how are you still alive? ”

“You'll find out soon enough. ”

Shanette has a pointy look on her face.

Kang Yoon-soo turned her head and looked at her.

“Help me.”

“What can I do? ”

“You have to roast coffee beans with fire. ”

Kang Yoon-soo and Shanette entered coffee production.

Coffee trees grown directly by Minerva were specialized in the variety and did not require a separate drying process.

Kang Yoon-soo peeled the coffee fruit in the flowing stream, and Shanette lit her finger on fire.

Meanwhile, Iris looked at the coffee fruit with her teary eyes.

And I put it in my mouth.

Iris frowned deeply.

“This is terrible. It's too late.”

Iris also sobbed over coffee berries.

Henrik laughs in vain.

“Why do you keep eating if you don't like it? ”

“It's an oddly attractive flavor. It's good to be sober. ”

The thick green beans were roasted in the fire, and a rich aroma spread.

Kang Yoon-soo pulled out a thin cloth, teapot, and wooden utensil from her backpack.

I placed roasted coffee beans on a cloth and spilled hot water several times.

I extracted black and brown coffee so briefly.

Iris puts her hands on her chest.

“Phew, haha. Phew. Haa. My heart is pounding. ”

She lets out a sigh of tears that still remain.

“I think I'm in love. ”

Henryk kicks his tongue.

“That's how you eat your coffee fruit in life, so your heart beats fast, man. ”

They brought coffee to Minerva.

Minerva closed the book and took his mouth to a wooden tea cup containing coffee.

“Hmm."

She said, tasting a cup of warm coffee.

“Not so good.”

“That's why I used to poison that coffee. ”

“What did you just say? ”

“No, I'm not.”

Minerva puts down his cup of tea.

“So, what are you here for? ”

“Well, that was quick. ”

Henryk is accustomed to sarcasm, and has been struck by Shanette's elbow.

Kang Yoon-soo said.

“Please pass down the Alchemy Bike. ”

“No.”

Minerva just cut and refused.

Iris takes a sigh and steps forward.

“I have to stop crying. Now my eyes hurt. Do you think you could fix this? ”

“Oh, dear. You were a doppelganger. Come here."

Minerva said with a slightly softer attitude than Kang Yoon-soo.

She looks at Iris's cheeks and says,

“The alchemical ingredients in my space have affected you badly. I didn't want to extend my reach to the inside of the secretary... I'm sorry. ”

Minerva's tone was clever.

She gets up and brings the potion buzzing from behind.

“Suck it in. ”

“Is this delicious? ”

Minerva gritted his eyebrows a little.

“Medicine is not a taste. ”

“That's too bad. ”

Iris drank a potion filled with disappointment.

Then, the tears that were pouring down like a rain of roses quickly stopped.

She smiles brightly.

“Minerva is a good man. ”

“What does that mean? ”

“Did you stop my tears? ”

Minerva looks away from Iris and turns his head.

“You're innocent. They won't believe you, though. ”

Iris made a curious face.

“I didn't lie. Minerva's a really nice guy, isn't he? ”

“You can't call someone who's already dead a person. ”

Minerva's words were strangely cool.

Henry frowns.

“Wait. You're already dead? So you're a ghost in front of us now? ”

“It's a place I made with alchemy. You can be like a living person here, but you can't get out. ”

Her attitude was hard, but she basically answered the question.

This time Shanette hesitates and opens her mouth.

“Excuse me, but why is Minerva alone in this space? ”

“I made a promise to a colleague a long time ago. If you die, you will not go to the commandment system, but you will remain as a soul and leave a mark and relic for generations to come. ”

Kang Yoon-soo knew who the hero promised Minerva was.

The last Necromancer Nacron.

Minerva sits down and picks up the book.

“Okay, you got it? I doubt how you managed to get through that terrible ordeal to get here, but I don't want to know. Now go.”

“No. ”

Kang Yoon-soo shakes her head and says.

“I should inherit the Giant Alchemist's Bike from you. ”

“Why is that?”

“I'm fulfilling a legendary quest. ”

Minerva's eyebrows flicker.

“But that doesn't mean I can give you a tie. ”

Henryk stepped up and asked.

“You said you stayed behind to save your spare parts and relics for posterity? Then why can't you just leave him alone? ”

“Because I can't trust him. ”

“Hmm. Can't say I have the courage to make a hasty judgment call. ”

Kang Yoon-soo looked at Henrik.

“Why.”

“Where are the rest of you fools? ”

Minerva said low.

“I don't trust others easily after death. ”

Shanette recalls Minerva's death.

History of space in the Red Rock Excavation Site.

‘It was definitely worth the heartbreak. ’

She stopped the Pandemonium invasion with the other heroes, but was betrayed by the Syrian king of all things and died.

But Shanette didn't bring it up.

It was clear what would leave the parties in deep pain.

“You were betrayed by the Syrian king of all things and died. ”

“ ……. ”

Shanette looked at Kang Yoon-soo with a frightening face.

At that moment, Minerva's face distorted.

“Don't take the man's name out of my sight. ”

It was an uproar unlike the voice that had just calmed down.

However, Kang Yoon-soo did not shut up.

“Syrian is still alive. ”

“Shut your mouth! ”

Minerva's eyes widen.

On the other hand, Kang Yoon-soo said with a expressionless face.

“I don't want to.”

Choo-choo!

Minerva grips his grip and the glass tube breaks.

Monstrous creatures walk out of the pool of moist amniotic fluid.

It looked similar to the homunculus you encountered in the Chimera dimension.

“Syrian? That bastard's betrayal has ruined everything. He was the biggest believer in my life. ”

Minerva's eyes falter.

It seemed to be a mixture of anger, anxiety, and fear.

I felt like a horrible memory of the past was kicking into my head.

She looks like an anxious psychopath.

Kang Yoon-soo continued.

“I need to get to the Giant Towers and meet the man. ”

“I told you to shut up! ”

Two homunculus charge at you with fierce aggravation.

But he didn't move a step.

Sharp nails were the moment when Kang Yoon-soo's nose approached.

Kwazazazak-!

Shanette's sickle and Henry's whip tear both homunculus apart.

Henryk twists his hand, connecting Mana's thread.

“I hope he learns to speak in turn, please. Now we have to fight an ancient hero. ”

Shanette sighs and grips her scythe tightly.

“I agree. I really don't want to die. ”

Iris is in trouble.

“You're really going to cry this time. ”

He nods shyly.

“I like to die. Henry dies with me. ”

“…… you just stay in the box. ”

Minerva grabs his head.

I felt like I was going to rip my pretty hair right off with both hands.

“Don't remind me of the king of all things. ”

Minerva's voice trembles like a thorn bush.

“Do you know my vendetta? Do you know how much you hate him? I can never forgive that man. I'll hate you for the rest of your life! So please don't remind me of that horrible moment! ”

Kang Yoon-soo stepped forward.

“Don't come! ”

Minerva stares at him with a heavy gaze.

“Surely good adventurers like you would do that to me. Forgive him. It's in the past. He must have been a good friend. Forgive him and go back to the Order. I'm just a dead man. Don't be ridiculous.Don 't be so petty when you know nothing! ”

Minerva's words speed up.

It was like a tearing cry.

“Do you know how cruel it is for me to be forgiven for being betrayed? Why do I always have to forgive and endure? It's not that I can't be angry, but why would the world want what's best for me, what's worse? ”

Kang Yoon-soo grabbed her shivering shoulder.

Minerva clutches his hand straightaway.

I didn't even have a chance to interfere with my colleagues.

Three homunculus pierce his shoulder with their fingernails.

Blood splatters on your collar, and your flesh runs out.

However, Kang Yoon-soo said without even frowning.

“I'll kill you. ”

Minerva raises his head.

Her trembling eyes meet him.

“Now... what...? ”

“I understand your grudge. I can empathize enough with the hatred of all the people that matter to me. ”

Kang Yoon-soo said calmly.

“I'll kill the Syrian. I will avenge you on your behalf. ”
