Book 15 Chapter 30

Chapter 64

The chaos that engulfed <Vedinaim> was brought under control by Friede, who stood at the center of its resolution.

Widespread slowdown using the Myungse Sipyun, and widespread healing using the Omun Sipyun.

Reading a Sipyun once and manifesting its power requires an enormous amount of physical and mental energy. She was using it repeatedly, multiple times in a row.

“While the Oracle has slowed the people’s movements, quickly retrieve the [King’s Flesh]!”

Just as Friede finished chanting the Omun Sipyun and was gasping for breath, Kies appeared with a mug of beer in his hand.

“Kies, what are you doing here? Not waiting at the Papal See?”

As Lista greeted Kies warmly, she felt an ominous presence welling up in a corner of her heart.

Had something happened, perhaps?

Just as Friede had come all the way to the central part of the Empire chasing escaped prisoners, on her way to the Papal See, which was the rallying point.

“……”

Then Kies drew the White Spear Bow Serwebon from his back.

The White Spear Bow was made from a branch of the Tree of Wisdom, the World Tree. The bow was alive, emitting a refreshing breath, so much so that one might mistake being in the middle of a pine forest.

This bow was a gift from the Water Dragon Yeriserica to Kies, and it was bound to Kies’s soul, sharing his intellect.

[(ㅇㅅㅇ)…]

For example, this was how the World Tree expressed what Kies wanted to say, by extending green shoots and drawing them in the air.

Since it shared knowledge with its owner, the World Tree also did not know language. That’s why emotional descriptions were like this!

The World Tree then materialized several more images, and Lista understood Kies’s words through them.

“One is a fish, one is a wine glass, and another is a slash meaning consciousness went dark? And the last one is a seagull, right?”

[(ㅇ_ㅇ)]

“You were drinking alcohol with sashimi as a side dish at <Haraldoniki>… and when you opened your eyes, you were near the port here? Is that what it means?”

Kies nodded repeatedly. Just then, Friede appeared!

“Oh, you idiot! While others are working their butts off, you’re just chugging booze until you’re unconscious, what a good life you have, you bastard! You need a beating.”

Thump, thump, thump, as Friede kicked Kies’s shins and Pipi pecked at his crown, Lyn approached Lista. She seemed scared of the unfamiliar person.

“Oh, right. Lyn, this is Kies. He’s the last member of our hero party. Try calling him Brother Kies.”

As Lista gently pushed her back, Lyn shyly hesitated, then approached Kies, awkwardly twisting her lower body and quietly whispered.

“Brother… my pee hole feels strange… I need to pee-pee.”

Kies glared harshly at Lyn. He rarely showed any change in expression. But the World Tree expressed his emotions for him.
