Record of a Thousand Lives

Kang Yoon-soo looked at the two spirits holding hands tightly.

‘Unless it's a special occasion, they usually can't let go. ’

It is because they created spirits at once, not each one of them.

In fact, there were other ways to create spirits by stepping on different routes.

However, Kang Yoon-soo did not.

‘Then you can't recreate the spirits you met in your old life. ’

The Spirit of Light and the Spirit of the Sword.

They were also summoned together in their old lives.

Kang Yoon-soo pointed to a bright and beautiful light spirit.

“You're Light. ”

“What's that? ”

“Your name. ”

“Great! I like it. Please, I think we can get along just fine! ”

Light smiled brightly and hugged Kang Yoon-soo.

Due to this, even the spirit of the sword with the hand had to be drawn.

“Phew…. I don't want to be dragged around... ”

Kang Yoon-soo took the light off.

Then, this time, he pointed to the spirit of a gloomy sword.

“You're the Sharp. ”

The shaft shakes its head griefly.

“No…. It's too much to name a kid like me... ”

“I'm not overwhelmed. ”

“Really…? ”

Sharp raises Kang Yoon-soo with his gloomy eyes.

“Huh."

When I named the two spirits, I remembered a stat phrase.

Light

Level: 258

Race: Bright

Age: growing season

Speed: 90

Magic Power: 58

Luminance: 110

Owner Skill: Burning Light Arrow (Lv5), Splendor (Lv6)

Sharp

Level: 269

Race: Sharpness

Age: growing season

(Unable to check stats)

Ownership Skill: Sharp Assault (Lv3), Sword Absorption (Lv7)

A depressed and frightened spirit. I am relaxed and shy, unable to use my powers properly.

+ Absorb the sword to awaken with a brief awakening effect. The character of the Sharp changes when a special sword is absorbed.

A Light Spirit characterized by Rapid Movement and Ranged Attack.

It was clear that it would help with the journey ahead.

Sharp is currently at the highest level of summoned spirits.

However, I could not determine my current abilities, and I did not know whether my personality was going to be so grumpy in the battle right now.

Light glows and asks.

“What's your name? ”

“Kang Yoon-soo.”

“Hmmm. Hmmm. I think so.”

Wright walks around, approaching one of the group and asking for his name.

After that, Sharp had to be dragged around in tears.

Iris stroked Light's head with a smile.

“You guys are so pretty and cute. ”

Light smiles brightly.

“You're so pretty too! ”

Sharp, on the other hand, crouches and buries his face in his knees.

“Phew…. Lying……. I'm an ugly, dirty kid... ”

Henryk makes a silly face.

“Is this really the spirit of the sword? There are no such spirits on the continent, but I think the Dark Spirit has a very dark personality. ”

“I'm sorry... * Sobbing *... ”

“No, you don't have to cry, man. ”

Henryk panicked.

It was time for the spirits to greet each other.

Akel cocks his chin.

“I am the noble Spirit of the Ice Ark. Made before you. That's why you're under me. Do you understand?”

Wright frowns and laughs.

“Kahaha! If you were born first, why are you smaller than me? ”

“What, what? ”

The puzzled Akle frowned.

I was born later, but the quality of the materials was good, so the light was slightly taller than the arc.

Sally snorts at Akel, who was subdued by the aircraft.

“Hmph. Now Akle will know Sally's heart. ”

“Tsk! Shut up. ”

Sally pretends not to know what Akel is saying and walks up to Sharp.

“Hello! Nice to meet you. I'm Sally. I'm your sister! ”

“Hello…. Nice to meet you... ”

Sally grabbed Sharp's hand and said politely.

“Sharp, play with Sally! You play hide-and-seek? ”

“Phew... It won't be fun to do that with someone like me... ”

Shanette watched the spirits' conversation and said:

“It's gonna get louder in the future. ”

“I see. ”

Henryk choked and tasted it.

He looked at your spirit and said:

“Then why do you look the youngest? ”

“It's because it's made of bad stuff. ”

“Ahhhh! Mom! ”

* * *

Birchen's Autumn Festival is neither big nor small.

The autumn festival is nothing fancy, but it's a local pastime.

A bard's song fills the square, and petals fly by the side of the road.

Street vendors sold affordable food and people enjoyed the festival without dividing the continent.

“That's where they sell figs and pickles! ”

“Ugh, man. I'll buy it for you. Stop pulling! ”

Henry, unfortunately, was always drawn to Iris and asked her to buy her food.

“I've got work to do, so I'm going to the inn first. ”

Shanette leaves for the inn first.

Therefore, Kang Yoon-soo sat alone on the bench and drank.

‘Now the next destination is the lair of the Fallen Dragon. ’

It's a dangerous place.

I couldn't help but overhear while I was repeating my life.

After preparing everything, it was an area that should not be entered.

He was about to throw away his empty bottle and open the lid of a new one.

On the other side of the bench, a strange story comes into my ears.

“Revolcon, did you hear that? I heard the new emperor is in charge of the Imperial Court. ”

“Son of a bitch! Don't be ridiculous. Where did you get this crazy rumor about drinking? ”

Kang Yoon-soo moved her gaze quietly.

Two middle-aged women were sitting on a bench having a drink.

“Huh. What nonsense. Official announcements from the Imperial Court have spread all over the place. Pretty soon, there's gonna be a lot of rumors around here, too. They say the new emperor is the daughter of the late emperor. ”

“Huh. The immediacy of kin. Of course, of course, but I'm worried that the imperial emperor will rule the empire well. ”

“But surprisingly, it's not like that. Actually, one of my relatives works at the Imperial Palace, and he picked it up... No, I'd rather not say this. ”

“Huh? What are you talking about? ”

“Hmm. No. I shouldn't have brought up such useless talk. ”

Kang Yoon-soo's eyebrows went up.

The Empress has become the new emperor? ’

It was strange.

In this era, other people, not the Empress, are the Emperor.

So Kang Yoon-soo calculated that and made the emperor die.

Then why did the princess become the new emperor?

That can't be happening.

‘The real princess should have died at this point. ’

The Empress who disappeared in the Imperial Court was found dead a few days later.

But now you have survived and become Empress?

That's never happened before.

Kang Yoon-soo got up from the bench and approached the middle-aged people.

“Tell me more about it. ”

“What are you, half-assed all of a sudden? ”

“I am Ramel Shiryan, friend of Mayor Birchen Laveldi Bork. Also known as the faceless mercenary. ”

The two middle-aged women burst into laughter.

A bigger middle-aged woman said.

“A faceless mercenary? Do you know what a living legend is? A monster that has surrounded its mask and robes and killed twenty large monsters nearby. You stupid traveler. Take off the handset on your wrist and tell me. When I was a sociopath, I used to break every lie I ever told. Tsk!”

“If you add a few more words to that, it will be you who breaks your neck. ”

“What?”

The middle-aged man stood up with an angry expression.

Kang Yoon-soo examined the glittering medal from the trials and sent it away.

“That……? ”

“A local citizen wouldn't recognize this medallion, the only characteristic of a faceless mercenary. This was given to me by my ancestor, who was my veteran mercenary. ”

“Ha! It must be some elaborately crafted fake. ”

It was then.

The face of a small middle-aged man became a reflection.

“Jee, it's true! ”

“Hey, what's that supposed to mean? ”

“Anyone who's ever worked for mercenary headquarters like me knows that. Have you heard of the legendary mercenaries? The great mercenaries say there were no unconquerable ruins in the past. The medal that was given to the commander of that mercenary army looks exactly like that. You can't leave that medal so exquisitely. ”

The middle-aged woman swallowed a saliva.

“I heard that if a mercenary without a face holds a medal, it emits soulful smoke. Can you really show me?" ”

Kang Yoon-soo held the medal tightly.

Then, the cold smoke leaked from the medallion.

The faces of the two middle-aged men were blurred.

“I'm sorry I didn't see you! ”

“Shut up. It annoys me to reveal myself to you. ”

Kang Yoon-soo got to the point.

“I was invited to this festival because I am a friend of the mayor of Birchen. But your story cannot pass. Tell me everything you know about the new queen. ”

“Yes? Why would a mercenary without a face be interested in such politics...? ”

“Do I have to tell you all those little things? Do you want to see the first time a faceless mercenary pulls a sword on someone who's not a monster? ”

The middle-aged man whitened, stuttering and opening his mouth.

“Well, actually, I happened to come across one of my relatives who works at the Imperial Palace... ”

Here is a summary of what the middle-aged said:

The Emperor's vacancy, caused by the death of Ranford Leonard, has caused confusion.

Regarding the candidates for the next emperor, the nobles' quarrels have not ceased.

Even when the missing princess returned and declared her succession to the throne, there was a strong opposition.

But a few days later, the chaos within the palace was strangely cleanly eroded.

Suddenly, the feud was over.

No matter how close she was, the princess overcame countless powerful people and confidently immersed them.

Even the nobles who disagreed broke the hostile relationship and supported the princess.

That's why the imperial palace was commented as the canopy of oppressive dictatorship.

However, Princess Kisipran immediately silenced such opinions.

The new emperor showed a specimen of great rule.

The immediate emperor had just reviewed each issue unbelievably and the rumors were excellent with proper governance.

However, the Empress had a questionable policy.

Each city has its own statue.

“A statue?”

“Yes. I was wondering the same thing, but I heard it was him. In fact, there are rumors that there are already statues in some cities. Every city has its own statue. ”

Even Kang Yoon-soo couldn't understand.

"Build a statue in each city. I don't know what's going on. ’

It is a policy that cannot be considered merely for the sake of security or security.

‘Someone saved the princess and made her queen. That's what I think right now. ’

A person who has made a difference from his old life.

Kang Yoon-soo recalled the words of the goddess.

‘My enemy was not only the Mage. Knowing my regression, there was someone who wished me dead. ’

If the previously dead princess had come back to life, she might have deliberately changed Yoon-soo's life.

Does that figure have anything to do with the Empress's immunity?

There was only one person who came to mind who was deeply related to the princess.

‘Imperial Alchemist Lumiere Kizan. ’

In her former life, she was arrested for power while building a Doppelgänger for the Empress.

However, there were many suspicious corners in this life.

Iris was also given a white shadow that knew her regression.

‘Does the Empress's immediacy have anything to do with that alchemist? ’

Kang Yoon-soo's doubts only piled up.

If I gather my strength and go to the Giant Towers, will I be able to unravel this question?

He was the one who lived a thousand lives, but I couldn't imagine.

* * *

Iris was happy, Henryk was tired, Shanette was in the kitchen, and Kang Yun-su was as expressionless as ever.

Iris licks her lips with a smile.

“The festival food was really good. ”

“Why don't we filter out dinner? ”

“Oh, Henryk. My ship is always empty. ”

“My purse is empty because of you, too, man. ”

Henryk takes a bitter sip.

“Glad to hear it's empty. ”

Shanette grins and brings a covered tray.

When I put the lid on, I saw the steaming apple pie and meat pie.

“I bought the ingredients in advance and made them in the inn kitchen. Did you keep your promise? ”

“Shanette's really nice. ”

Iris cried.

The pie on the table disappears one by one.

However, Kang Yoon-soo did not touch the pie throughout the meal.

“Aren't you going to eat? ”

“It's okay.”

Kang Yoon-soo picked up the bottle and went into the room.

Until midnight, he sat still in bed and looked out at the window.

Then someone knocked on the door.

Knock, knock. Knock, knock.

Kang Yoon-soo turned his head and said.

“It's open. Shanette.”

Queek -

Shanette enters the room surprised.

“How did you know it was me? ”

“You always knock four times. ”

Kang Yoon-soo is learning Shanette's habits over and over again.

She also knew why she came to her room in the middle of the night.
