Chapter 76
TL: Zimming
After finishing the conversation with the Duke, Johann left . That evening was very quiet .
Soon, the silence was gone due to a certain girl’s footstep .
When Johann turned around, Leblaine grab his shirt .
“What?”
“So……that……”
Johann asked when he saw Leblaine following him .
“I can hear you following me . ”
“That’s not true!”
“Then?”
“……actually, you’re right . ”
Leblaine was sullen .
“I never meant to bother you . I was just wondering if I could get some of what you have, if you’re okay with it . ”
She said with a quiet voice .
‘What is her purpose?’
If that child wants anything, father will give her everything . In addition, there was Henry and Isaac . She doesn’t have to come herself to get things .
While he was contemplating, Leblaine was glancing at him .
At this point, he was purely curious .
What the hell does she want?
“Nail or hair . ”
“……what?”
He looks so confused .
Nail or hair……
If anyone hears it, they’ll think I was about to put a curse on him .
But I really need them . Because that was the medium to get some of Johann’s mana .
Pymon, of all things, still uses the old-fashioned way of using magic!
I showed Dad, Henry, and Isaac’s hair to Pymon . But it couldn’t be them because Johann’s power is the purest .
“Why my hair or nails? Are you going to curse me?”
“That’s not it . You’re going to the academy soon, aren’t you? Since you’ve been attacked so many times, how about I make a protection spell so that it doesn’t happen this time?”
I blabber the excuse I had prepared in advance . I couldn’t really say it earlier because I was very nervous .
“I can make it if I have your nails or hair!”
It’s a myth, but it doesn’t matter .
‘I’m only a child, so I can do something like this . ’
Johann didn’t say anything .
“What?!”
Suddenly, I could hear Isaac’s voice from behind me .
He came running quickly, grabbed my hand and frowned . Henry also did what Isaac did .
“Why is the kid with you? Did you bully her again?”
“You don’t need to keep your eyes on her . ”
When Henry and Isaac spoke, Johann’s eyebrows went up .
I was flustered and pulled both of their sleeves together .
“No . He never bothered me . I came to him myself!”
“Kid, why did you do it?”
“You don’t have to worry about him, Leblaine . ”
I mean, that’s not it .
“No—“
I was about to say something when Johann turned around . Without saying anything, he moved away from us .
I stamped my foot .
“That’s not it! I came after Johann myself!”
“……really?”
Isaac asked and Henry didn’t say anything .
Henry gently grabbed me by the shoulder and he lowered himself to reach my eyes .
“I told you . He’s a dangerous person, so never be alone with him . ”
I sulked and looked at them .
“Leblaine?”
“Johann doesn’t look like a bad person . ”
“Kid, my brother is very heartless—!”
“When I went to the play with my maids last year, everyone cried because they were sad, but I didn’t cry . So am I a bad guy?”
Isaac panicked and shouted,
“That……!”
“You didn’t have to look at the documents today, did you? That’s why you have time to read books . ”
“……that’s right . ”
“You didn’t have to train the knights, did you? So you wanted to eat snacks with me . ”
“Yes . ”
“Johann did your job for you guys . ”
“……”
“……”
I shook off Henry and Isaac’s hands .
When I came back to my room, I saw a long-haired gir……no, a guy who ate cookies on my bed .
“My snacks……”

“I couldn’t taste anything . ”
“But why did you eat all of it?”
“Well, it’s free . And I’m bored . ”
There are some restrictions that the devils have . One, he can’t get more than a kilometer away from me, people can also see the devil if I’m not in good condition .
‘I have to hurry and send him back before I go to the capital . ’
I thought so and picked up the envelope I kept under my bed . It was a letter to Seria .
[After Adolf, one of the 21 priests, was executed, the church didn’t do any extreme moves . They’ve been searching for a way to bring back their honor that has fallen . Etwal, an important symbol of the church is displayed for days…]
‘I’ve never seen the Etwal on display in my past lives . ’
It was urgent enough to bring out the sacred objects in myths to win over the disappointed believers .
I checked the Etwal picture of the church sent by Seria .
‘Huh?’
I frowned in surprise .
“What……”
“What’s going on?”
“It’s strange . ”
Pymon came near me and checked the picture .
“Etwal?”
“Do you know it?”
“Of course . ”
Having mastered all kinds of studies, did he also learn theology? I nodded and said .
“That’s right . It’s Etwal, but it’s a little different from what I know . ”
“Why?”
“Etwal, which was originally stored in the church had jewels embedded in every corner of the but it’s not here . ”
I saw it clearly .
When Mina had the church’s etwal, I could see the jewels in every etwal’s corner .
I took out my Etwal necklace and showed it to Pymon .
‘There’s no jewels in it like mine . ’
Pymon sat across me and put his hand on his chin .
“It’s no wonder, there’s no power so no jewels . ”
“What does that mean?”
“Etwal is originally a sacred object for keeping power . It’s like a warehouse, for example . ”
I opened my eyes widely .
“Is it something to store magic or divine power?”
“I mean a real soul . Even a devil’s power and you have the authority over them . ”
Pymon pointed to a small groove in every corner of the hexagonal etwal .
“You keep the power in here . So you can take it out whenever you need it . ”

I opened my eyes widely at the remark .
There are six grooves in total . Does that mean I can have six powers?
“Wait, so that means I can store devils power too?!”
“Of course, but beings like us cannot be stored without our consent . ”
“Is that so?”
“But, the owner wouldn’t be able to keep us . Aren’t you running out of divine power to borrow our powers?”
“Then what does it usually contain?”
“Human souls . However, this is not something that a human being can do . There is no choice but to obtain souls by a higher existence like the devil . ”
I frowned and looked at Pymon .
“Is it possible that I can continue to call out the devils to complete the etwal?”
Pymon’s lip corners went up .
[I can answer questions only after you are qualified . ]
That’s why Boone said I’m not qualified without Etwal .
I rolled up my sleeves .
‘Mina also completed the etwal . ’
And Mina, who completed the etwal, became a powerful person that even the pope could not easily offend .
If I complete the etwal before Mina…
‘I can be the strongest person in the continent and make Dubbled an independent family . ’
My heart trembles .
Pymon looked at me and coughed loudly .
If I complete the etwal before Mina…
“Yes!”
“……”
For some reason, Pymon became a little gloomy .
‘I’m envious of Pymon’s abilities, but it’s hard to maintain him . ’
I only have six chances . I must create a power source that will benefit me .
I immediately contacted Seria .
[Yes, little miss . ]
“Gather information on who’s selling special gems and minerals here . Also buy it as much as you can . ”
[Some people may offer a price that you can’t imagine for special gems and minerals . ]
“It doesn’t matter . ”
I still have the top of hope to generate me a lot of money .
“I made a lot of money these days anyway . ”
That night, I sneaked into Johann’s room .
It seems like Johann hadn’t come back from training, the room was very quiet .

‘I’m going to pick up his hair before he comes back . ’
It would not be as much as Pymon wanted, but there was no other way .
[I think I’ll end up going back after a year . ]
Pymon was being sarcastic again .
I carefully opened the bedroom door, and slowly crept into his bed .
“Gasp!”
There was someone on a sofa near the bed .
I was so surprised that I didn’t move at all .
But it’s weird .
The body looks like a human, but why was there no response?
‘Pymon, if anything happens to me, attack it right away . ’
I carefully headed to the sofa .
“Johann!”
It was Johann lying down on the sofa with a pale face . It is serious if Johann, who is usually quick to notice any presence, didn’t do anything even after I came in .
“Get a hold of yourself! Oh my god, doctor!”
Johann grabbed my wrist just when I was about to rush out .
“Lou……loud . This poison……can be purified in a week . ”
“But……!”
“I am the eldest son……of Dubbled . If my body gets damaged……the enemies will move . ”
That must be it .
The reason why the vassals didn’t have different opinions was because Johann’s very capable and handle everything himself .
‘No way……’
I took a closer look at Johann’s condition .
Since I have been trained in the church for two lives, I could recognize diseases .
‘Bloom Dog . ’
It is a poison used frequently by mercenaries .
“When they attacked at the border, you were struck by poison right? So you came to rest at the Dubbled on the pretext of running away . ”
“……”
“Have you been holding it?”
“Don’t bother me……”
“Stupid!”
I shouted at him .
Oh my god, what a fool!
Everyone else was saying that he was inhuman and valued nothing, even his brothers didn’t know what he was like, he carried a lot of baggage by himself .
I was so upset with Johann that my eyes kept getting blurry .
When I saw him, Johann was looking at me very gently .
