The first meeting with the emperor took place amid tension and discomfort, but as time went by, the atmosphere softened.
Jae-ho also became comfortable with the emperor's attitude, which he did not know whether it was the influence of clothes, personal favoritism, or confidence as a loser.
"No matter how little Jim cared, I appreciate your handling of the insolent one who volunteered to be the Emperor on the sea. They're disgusting, but they're probably going to have to be a lot of damage to get on the continent."
The emperor also expressed his full gratitude for Jae-ho's achievements.
"I'll give you enough reward for the Elysia garden under the name of the Frappuccino.”
Perhaps the reward would be monetary.
'By the way......'
It was clear what Jae-ho had to get from the emperor.
To confirm, or obtain, the answer equivalent to, the fifth prince Gentrno as his successor.
I've prepared some Bulloozoa for you.….
Are you sure you're sick?’
No food, no complexion, none of which seemed like a patient.
Did the princes ever mistake the old man for his father?’
Why the hell?
'You said stupid, so... Did the Emperor test his sons himself?'
To see what their sons look like over the next emperor's post?
There was a lot of speculation, but I couldn't tell the exact circumstances.
You're an outsider and you weren't very close to the Emperor.
"But maybe...….’
Jae-ho had one possibility.
"You look curious.”
So said the emperor, who read Jae-ho's mood.
"Well, it's obvious. Seems like the princes didn't know either."
"Huh, I'm ashamed that my father doesn't even recognize them.”
Shaking his head, he continued.
"But in the meantime, I feel a little better because I think there's a guy who's been asking for a pretty big fish."
“?”
"Wasn't you, King Alsia, come?"
“?!”
The word tempted Jae-ho.
That remark was no less than a positive assessment of Gentrno.
'I'm sorry about this, though.
The emperor's vague answer was difficult to accept as it was.
The original plan was to boost Gentrno's position by saving the fluctuating emperor.
"Hmmm... Your Majesty. Do you have any recent health problems or ill health issues?….”
Jaeho, who has tried to bite.
However, he did not stop putting food in.
"Whoo-hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-huh. Having joined hands with the Fifth Prince, you must have heard about this body.”
He answered casually.
"But I'm sure I'm quite different from what I've heard.”
a jest-smiling emperor
"It does look like it, but... Isn't the Emperor's health really bad?"
Saaaa
an atmosphere frozen in a mood
The emperor's expression was so cold that it sounded like the air was freezing.
[Emperor Purapuccino's oppressive gaze weighs on you.]
[All your abilities are reduced by 80%.]
“…….”
When he was determined to show off his spirit, there was a divisor who said, "The emperor."
Of course, immunity was also impossible because it was not a curse.
"Nobody can argue about Jim's health care."
A word of the emperor, determined and forceful, but as if it were natural.
However, Jae-ho was not obedient enough to back down on the system's warning.
If I had, I wouldn't have been able to come here now.
"Then why did you have a dying band?”
I'm sure there's a rumor about health problems.
Why did you try too hard to test the prince and his neighbors with your band, and why did you show up breaking the old secret at this moment when Jae-ho came?
"White..."
Unwillingly, the emperor stared at Jae-ho for a long time.
But soon he showed an amazing response.
"Well, that's why we've been able to consolidate the elves and quickly develop our influence on the continent."
Xu
An emperor leaning on his back, arm in arm.
[Emperor Purapuccino's oppressive gaze is taken.]
And he gained his momentum as he focused on Jae-ho.
"Are you fearless because you are free from death? Or is it your nature? I wish my sons were half like you.”
He looked at Jae-ho, kicking his tongue and feeling sorry for him.
"King Alsia. Let me ask you one."
The emperor, who had lowered his voice to the fullest, asked Jae-ho.
"What's at the end of the relentless march you see?"
* * *
Jae-ho, who came out of talks with the emperor.
Then he was allowed to see the Milky Way Garden without anyone's interference, following the imperial order.
That's why even the princes, anxious to meet Jae-ho right away, couldn't get close.
Without knowing what happened inside, the party, just excited by the emperor's special treatment, looked around the Milky Way garden.
But it was just that much of the excitement about special treatment, not interested in the Milky Way garden itself.
It was because the level was much lower than that of the Elysia.
"Well, there's nothing to learn."
Even May's mouth is cold-hearted.
Meanwhile, Jae-ho, who walked slowly away from the other party, was brooding over his meeting with the emperor.
'What's at the end of my journey?'
Quite a philosophical question...What the hell is...
Jae-ho had answered for sure.
I'm going to open a flower shop.
In addition, one of the new targets recently was to open chains throughout the continent.
Such a story was told, but the problem was that the emperor did not listen to it seriously.
He dismissed Jae-ho's words simply as nonsense, and said he would give him a moment to think.
That's why Jae Ho is here.
When ready, the emperor said he would give Jae-ho as much as he could as a partner.
In other words, the emperor wanted to make sure that Jae-ho could share his values and beliefs.
It's a positive sign, but......... The problem is that I don't know what the Emperor wants.’
It was natural that he could not believe Jae-ho's words that he would open a flower shop because he had commanded the continent as a loser.
A man who's going to open a flower shop won't catch a dragon and a pirate king.
'Well, it seems obvious that you need some good cause...….’
But what other reason is there for Jae-ho, who started the game to open a flower shop in the first place?
I didn't think I could fool the emperor's eyes by telling a lame lie.
'......maybe!'
At that moment, an idea flashed across my mind.
A great cause, not a lie.
Jae-ho had one.
* * *
"I'm going to get back home to the Elves."
To the emperor who met again, Jae-ho said.
"The hometown of Elf is... Are you talking about the Liesel forest?"
The emperor, one of the best people on the continent who knows what the situation is there, and what happened there.
He nodded as if he was fully convinced of Jae-ho's answer.
"You are the king of the Elves. You understand their pain of losing their hometown better than anyone else."
'It's working, as expected.’
Jae-ho smiled inwardly as the emperor accepted it mildly.
In fact, Jae-ho had no intention of reclaiming the Liesel forest and doing anything about it.
E.L.F. didn't even ask Jae Ho to do such a thing.
Of course, if we go to recapture the Liesel forest, we'll be so excited to sharpen the knife.
However, there was a separate reason why the statement was not a lie.
It was there that was the way to heaven, and Jae-ho, for better or worse, had to head for the Liesel forest.
In the process, the Rizelan forest was destroyed.
Fortunately, it did not appear that the Emperor had accurately penetrated the tricky truth.
"But before that, you'd be able to stare at the continent enough?”
The emperor asked again.
"Do you know that countless kingdoms tremble, nervous and trembling in your steps?"
"Well, you're nervous to see the Elysia flower garden because you have that idea?"
"Whoo-hoo, that's a very cowardly and dangerous answer."
The emperor replied with a smile.
"Then why did you join hands with the Fifth Prince? Wasn't it because you wanted something?"
He knew Jae-ho and Genterno had a secret agreement.
Of course, it's to promote the flower shop.’
You wouldn't believe me if I say this.
"I want to borrow the power of the Midwest."
Another plausible lie that Jaeho thought of.
Although it was not an issue of Goryeo in the first place, it was better to suck as much as possible.
With the support of the Empire, it will certainly be much easier for the Rizelan forest to be slaughtered.
'And I have to make an appeal that I don't have a desire for power.
That they are allies, not enemies of the Empire.
"I want to borrow the power of the Empire...….”
"The forests of Liesel are also part of the middle system. And the Emperor would know. The reason why the Liesel forest was taken away."
Human beings fell into the devil's temptation and hit the back of the Elves.
"In order to allay the anger of the Elves toward humans that has continued so far, it will be important that it precedes them."
"Are you threatening Jim?"
The emperor's remarks themselves were very threatening, but his expression was not at all.
It's as if you were going to do it, but you're going to do it more.
This kind of generosity itself was interpreted as meaning that Jae-ho had a good feeling for him.
Goosebumps must be working.’
Confident Jae-ho drove the wedge in.
"Please say it's a proposal, not a threat. As I said yesterday, I am deeply concerned about your health."
"...that's the story again."
"That's why I came all the way to the palace in the first place."
At least NPCs had no choice but to have vague fears of death.
'There were some people who lost their fear.’
The emperor was likely to do so, but if he really had a disease, he could only appeal to Jae-ho.
"I have a leap forward that will enable you to overcome any illness, no matter what, even the years you cannot resist."
"Is it Bulloo jangcho?"
“?!”
It was even more surprising than when I recognized the Great Emperor.
Soon, however, Jae-ho regained his composure.
'There's nothing you don't know when you think about it.’
It's the Bullojangsaengcho that even the little king of the village knows. Wouldn't the emperor know it?
"Yes, as you say, I'm in a hurry to wrap up my short life, contrary to looks."
Finally, the emperor told the truth in front of Jae-ho.
Revealing the sensitive facts of the emperor's own means that he could kill Jae-ho and shut his mouth.
No matter how many times he was an Immotalian, there was nothing good to be caught by the Empire, so Jae-ho swallowed his dry saliva and opened his ears.
"Jim is the emperor. Anything I want on the continent is possible. Do you think I wouldn't have tried to overcome the approaching death through the Bulloozoa? No, wouldn't all the emperors of our predecessors, in the first place, have so many rulers in history been greedy for it?"
“…….”
So you've already taken the Bullojangsaengcho separately?
'Is this... was it that common?’
But that was not what the emperor said.
"There is no such thing as eternal life in this world."
"Hmm?"
"History has proved. None of the things that were called Bullojangsaengcho could guarantee eternal life and ended their lives with severe addiction and side effects. I've also heard that there is a real Bulloozoa in a country somewhere in every corner of the continent, but Jim is not so stupid."
From the calm-spoken emperor, Jae-ho was convinced.
He was really preparing for the eternal immortality of the Empire, not himself, before his death.
"I asked you why you revealed me to your visit, which you had been hiding."
The emperor paused and took a breath.
"I had to make sure what you thought of the Fifth Prince. If I see any hope of your existence above the Empire, I will have to deal with it before my death."
gulp
To put it simply, he said he would push aside the Elishia garden.
For the princes who are still a little short, preparing for the inevitable collapse of the empire...….
"Anyways, you didn't eat Bullojangsaengcho, did you?”
"Hmm?"
Jae Ho is talking nonsense again after serious and heavy talk.
But Jae-ho's honest feelings were, 'So what?'
Whatever the empire was, the important fact was whether or not the emperor ate Bullojangsaengcho.
Why did the people who covet the eternal verdant in history die?
'You must have eaten it as if you were making a meat wrap.’
There was certainly a warning in the Bulloozoa.
It's 100% side effects of double intake.
And given that the emperor's health is still bad, he would not have eaten the real Bullojangsaengcho.
"What do you think? Would you trust me?"
Jae-ho became bolder.
Now the initiative is on him, and what's left was definitely selling drugs.
