36 – I came out to have a drink (2)

‘Why?’

Seeing the Prime Minister drinking in such a shabby place, it was not an easy sight to understand.

“If you don’t answer me one more time, I won’t go beyond words!”

“Give it to me when I say good things!”

‘Eh.’

However, the situation was not easy for me to worry about.

First of all, I had to deal with those giants.

Eugene stood up.

“Just do that.”

“What are you, bastard!”

The attention of the giants was naturally focused. They stared at Eugene’s face, then clicked her tongue in her bewilderment.

“Don’t stop, even a young bastard.”

“He just chatted and sat down.”

They got up and strode closer. Eugene left the old man alone and was ready to take care of it.

People around me couldn’t stand it and jumped to their feet.

“It’s not too much!”

“No matter how scoundrels they are, there is no way to do this without knowing the extent!”

“Leave the child alone!”

He shuddered, but did not avert his gaze.

I admired the courage shown by those ordinary people.

The anger of the giants grew even bigger.

“Since these bastards say let’s see, really!”

Quaaang!

The giant slammed down the magically charged foot. The boulder rocked the inside of the store, causing people to fall.

“Don’t do this!”

“If the constable comes in like this, things will really get messed up!”

“I don’t know, you bastards!”

“I’ll take care of you guys first!”

The giants unleashed their fists and approached the fallen.

Yujin, who was standing still, sighed.

“You keep coming to me, and where are you going? You poor bastards…… “

Even though I told them to listen openly, the giants were excited and walked towards the fallen as if they couldn’t hear them.

“He doesn’t even pay attention to me.”

I was slightly offended.

I wonder if my provocation skills were lacking.

Eugene raised two chopsticks and blew his magical energy into them. This wasn’t normal magic.

It was magical power that had been learned while honing the brain swordsmanship.

Cheese

The chopsticks shone bright blue. It felt like it would shoot like an arrow if I let it go.

‘This should be enough.’

From noble mtl dot com

If you were as good as those giants, there was a high chance that you would avoid chopsticks loaded with ordinary magical power.

Then they’ll get angry and attack you, and you’ll have to grapple again…… I was tired in many ways.

So I had to blow the chopsticks loaded with brain energy. Both speed and power will be unmatched by other chopsticks, which will make the situation even better.

Eugene aimed chopsticks at the giants’ necks, gathered his mana into one point, and exploded it.

Pupuk!

The two chopsticks fired in a deep blue line pierced the giants’ necks and crashed into the wall.

“Ok!”

“Cheer!”

The giants fell to the ground with their eyes turned upside down. The store rang loudly as the huge bodies collapsed.

“What, what!”

“Me, chopsticks?”

Those who were shivering saw chopsticks penetrating the wall. Their faces were stained with absurdity.

“Who the hell…… “

Their faces moved to where the chopsticks came from.

There was Eugene…….

“Something that is not a big deal comes out…… Ah-oh.”

He returned to his seat and sat down, waddling his body as if he had gotten drunk lately.

“I have to drink.”

He lifted the bottle and drank. At the same time, his brow furrowed.

“Ah! I ran out of alcohol after catching a gangster!”

“I’ll give you a free bottle, sir!”

The clerk, who recognized Eugene’s power, ran quickly., The customers looked at Eugene with dazed eyes.

‘You look very young… ….’

‘How can I cut these giants with chopsticks?’

They had cognitive dissonance because of Eugene’s young appearance.

‘Are the giants weak…… ?’

‘No way… ….’

At the point of subduing the giants with chopsticks, the power had to be seen as far beyond common sense.

It’s safe to say that at that age, there are very few people who can show such a miracle.

‘Are you the one who came out of the world after living in seclusion?’

‘A master who has stopped aging because he is so strong?’

Their imagination continued without knowing the end.

Whether they do or not, Eugene broke her snack and gulped down her drink.

“Hmm.”

The old man, who had just been surrounded by giants, looked at Eugene with calm eyes.

‘That’s strange.’

He assists the great emperor and supervises everyone who works in the imperial family.

Everyone in the Lucia Empire.

A ‘Prime Minister’ who devoted his whole life to serving the people.

It was Russell von Rayman Cromwell.

He taught the present emperor many things from a young age to rule the empire. He was like a father to the emperor and the spiritual leader of the empire, respected by everyone.

Although he had no proficiency in swordsmanship or magic, he rose to the top of the world thanks to his ability to manage an empire close to divine.

As such, it was easy for the emperor to grab the back of his neck if he dangerously turned outside the imperial family.

Today, too, it was only a matter of taking a little time out of the imperial palace in the middle of the night. The last time it came out was a few years ago, so it could be said that it was a deviation after a long time.

Russell worked day and night for the Empire. With the body of an ordinary old man who had neither mastered swordsmanship nor magic.

Because he was unable to receive help from magic, he got tired more easily than others, and he needed a rest because he was exhausted from heavy labor.

When he was young and had no responsibilities, he missed the delicious food and drinks he ate at restaurants on the street. He wanted to feel that atmosphere again.

So he made a personal request to the high-ranking imperial mage. Put a spell on his own face so that no one will recognize him when he walks outside.

‘Absolutely not! What do you mean! If His Majesty finds out about this, he will try to kill me!’

The high-ranking wizard refused.

But the chancellor wasn’t an old man running around, and cooking a wizard was easier than cooking rice. He persuaded me without difficulty and told me not to worry.

With common sense, how likely are you to get caught up in something bad during the few hours away from the imperial palace?

I had nothing to say at the point where I was wrongly caught by the giants.

Swoop. Swoop.

Clerks dragged the giants, who were dead or not, out. Seeing that scene reminded me of the current situation.

With Russell surrounded by giants, he didn’t come out with much money, so he was silent waiting for the constable.

But suddenly, a man who was drinking in the corner appeared and organized the giants.

‘It’s really strange.’

Because she has such a young face, I wondered if she had reached the highest level and stopped aging.

But they weren’t that young either. It was right to rule out that possibility.

The author was just a being who became exceptionally strong at a young age.

That was the problem.

‘If there was a description like that, there’s no way I wouldn’t know.’

Who is Russell?

It is the seat of all people in the empire. The faces of the equipment that will lead the future of the empire were clearly known. But I had never seen a face like that.

‘What kind of family’s son-in-law are you talking about?’

There was no way he was a commoner. Having lived my whole life looking at people, I could be sure of that just by looking at it.

‘I don’t know, so I should know your name… ….’

As long as he had the potential to lead the future of the empire, he had to know his name.

‘Looks like he even has a sense of chivalry.’

Moreover, he saved Russell, whose face had changed to look like an ordinary old man.

Not all strong people since childhood were righteous. It was often the case that they harbored wrong desires when they obtained strong power in an immature state of mind.

However, the author did not.

The words and actions he showed after subduing the giants were a little harsh, but not to the point of being an issue.

If you make a problem with that, there is not a single righteous person left in the world.

That level of humanity actually served as a charm to attract indeok.

I think it was because I was a little drunk…….

Suddenly, after subduing the giants that threatened people, he returned to his place and ate again.

I didn’t ask for anything in return from those around me.

If there was injustice in his heart, he would have demanded a price even from himself for being threatened.

With just that fact, there was no greed for wealth, and an upright blue energy flowed out.

‘Youngsik has a promising future.’

In order to repay him, I needed to know his name. Russell got up from his seat and approached Eugene.

“… ….”

Eugene, who was eating steamed dumplings, saw him.

Russell smiled benignly and sat facing us.

“I never thought I would see such a strong, innocent, young hero in this day and age.”

“Yes?”

“I want to know the name of this old lady in return.

“… ….”

Eugene looked at the old man with a sullen face.

He was a little drunk and his brain was a little slowed down. He answered roughly and ate the steamed dumplings.

“It’s been repaid.”

It was an attitude that could make you feel insincere.

Russell was also taken aback for a moment, but he soon guessed what Eugene was thinking and regained his composure.

‘I looked like an old man with nothing.’

That’s why you can’t receive something, so you’re treating me coldly.

People like this are really rare.

Russell grinned.

“You don’t have to. I am someone who can afford to repay.”

“All right. Because he knew and helped me.”

“Yeah, I guess I knew. Then let’s talk about what we want…… What did you say?”

Russell asked with an absurd face.

“You said you knew and helped?”

The level of the magician who cast a spell on his face was not something that such a young technician could see through.

If you compare it to a wizard, you have to be a great wizard to be able to fully distinguish it…….

“What did you know and help me?”

Eugene stopped her eating and looked at Russell. She said in a low voice.

“You are the chancellor.”

“…… !”

Russell’s face was stained with astonishment.

“How could you do that… …..”

“…… No, just look and see.”

“Nonsense… ….”

Russell looked at Eugene with her empty face.

How could such a young man dig up the magic of a high-ranking royal mage and find out his identity?

If he is going to become a wizard, the archmage is basic and he could look beyond that.

Is that all he is?

Look at that image where there is no agitation even though the prime minister is in front of you.

Even the heart must have been as hard as a rock.

‘He was born with the highest level of mental ability.’

He overflowed with qualities to become a great person. Even the young emperor looked like an outcast in front of this man.

If possible, I wanted to raise him as a disciple.

He would not be able to become the emperor because he did not inherit the blood of the imperial family, but he seemed to be a figure greater than himself as a chancellor. If so, his strength and power would be comparable to that of an emperor.

‘For the sake of the peace of the empire, we must prevent that from happening… ….’

Anyway, there was no doubt that Eugene’s talent was great.

‘Talent, mental strength, suspicion, innocence… …. Everything is perfect.’

In particular, the state of blue and white was indescribably high.

To the point of saying that he doesn’t need anything in return even though he knows he’s the prime minister.

‘I must at least know his name.’

Russell could not back down any longer.

I couldn’t reciprocate because I didn’t need anything in return, and it wasn’t easy to make a kite. At least I needed to be aware of this man and help him when he was in trouble.

It’s not like these kinds of equipment don’t get timely help and disappear into the dark side of the world.

Russell opened her mouth cautiously.

“…… I understand you don’t need anything in return, so at least tell me your name. Because someday, when you need help, I want to give you a hand.”

Eugene, who was drinking in the middle of the day, put down his glass and answered.

“Eugene von Lennon Grace.”

“Thank you.”

I will definitely remember you.

Having served her purpose, Russell raised her body.

“Oh, wait.”

Although I was attacked by giants, I felt good to find such a wonderful equipment.

“I was drunk and my head wasn’t working, but I remembered what I needed in return.”

Russell smiled lightly and moved on with her steps.

“Are you listening to me?”

“…… ?”

I stopped because of Eugene who grabbed the hem of her dress.

Russell turned to see Eugene in her arms.

“I thought I remembered something I needed in return?”

“Oh, you mean something in return?”

“Yes?”

“Kuhm. Tell me.”

“Even if it’s an elixir left in the imperial family, I’ll give you one if it rolls around.”

Hearing that, Russell was dazed, but then she smiled happily.

‘Among the virtues, blue and white should be eliminated.’

The quality of a hero hasn’t changed, but he’s a person with moderate personal greed.

‘I’m glad I can repay you though.’

Russell smiled kindly.

“If you tell me where you live, I will send you a suitable one.”

Eugene gave Russell her dormitory address, and Russell promised that she would send her servant by tomorrow morning to send her elixir.

Then, Russell raised her body, she said, looking at Eugene, who had languished in her drunkenness.

“This has paid off, but I still have a desire to help.”

“Hibb.”

“The next time you need my help, think you’re in debt and tell me. I will help to the best of my ability.”

“Yes. Heeep.”

Eugene smiled and waved her hand.

He poured alcohol without stopping and seemed to be properly drunk.

“…… Then see you next time.”

Russell smiled and greeted her, then turned to her.
