I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 65. It’s right here in front of you (2)

“Brother, the pager is here.”

Daat took out a glass plate from the many drawers.

When Keter injected mana into the glass plate, it emitted a bluish light and vibrated minutely.

“Keter, what is that?”

In response to Luke’s question, who was curious and interested in magic, Daat answered instead.

“It literally calls. Come here right now.”

“Who?”

“Gyro, brother’s subordinate.”

“ah… … .”

What does that have to do with finding the southern sword?

Luke couldn’t bear to ask. I thought I would look ignorant if I asked that much, so I decided to think about it myself.

The current 8th southern sword is Zerpi Ruban.

Master of swordsmanship, Ruban, leader of the Storm Knights of the Marquis Luban.

If you want to get a letter of recommendation, you might want to visit yourself first, but you can’t get a letter of recommendation just by going there blindly.

‘Will I meet you if I just visit you? probably not There’s no way Keter doesn’t know that. In other words, a person named Zyro is the key. If you take that person with you, you’re saying that there’s a high chance that Sir Zerpi will give you a letter of recommendation, right?’

According to this rationale, it means that Gyro, Keter’s subordinate, is a great person.

‘It’s strange that such a person is among Keter’s men, but he’s Keter.’

Keter was a being who could not understand anything if approached with common sense.

“I haven’t been contacted. Magnus, interpret the coordinates to find me.”

“yep.”

Daat began to transcribe the complex numbers written on the glass keyboard onto paper.

Luke also looked at the numbers on the glass plate, but they were so numerous and long that he couldn’t figure out how to pinpoint the location with them.

‘I think it will take a long time.’

It’s awkward to stand still. Luke inspected the numerous chests of drawers with his own eyes.

Contrary to Luke’s expectations, Daat spoke right away.

“Brother, I found it. It’s in the ‘Red Eyes’ area. Seeing that they are in the deep sector, they seem to be having a blast.”

“Is it a fight? i have to get in too Let’s go, Luke. Let’s go debut in liqueur.”

“What about the red-eyed gang, a debut? what, i don’t know scared.”

“Why don’t you want to fight?”

“Aside from that, you didn’t bring a bow and arrow because you didn’t know how to teleport. You say you have amaranth, but I can’t even make an arrow with an aura yet.”

“This is a liqueur. As long as you have money, you can get anything. blind eye Get some handheld weapons and armor while I’m on my way.”

Portable weapons used by officers of the Imperial Army are not for sale. The empire strictly manages it, and portable weapons are not traded even at the auction house.

Of course, it can be obtained from the auction house in the underworld, but even if you just want to buy a sword, 100,000 gold will easily pass.

However, in liqueur it was available for less than half of that price.

“For real? As a fake?”

“As much as possible.”

“I’ll save you. But brother, the atmosphere has changed so much, right? How should I say, should I say that the barrel has become wider, or should I say that it has become more refreshing?”

“Also blind. Do you understand?”

“I lived with my brother for several years. Of course it’s tea. What the hell happened in four days?”

“They say people change when they die and come back to life. I also died and came back to life.”

“Ah, no matter how much of a monster your brother is, it’s not a resurrection.”

“Because it is a monster, it will be resurrected.”

“Are you convincing?”

Keter grinned and tousled the youngest’s hair again.

“My brother is coming.”

“Take my pager.”

“OK.”

Keter, who took the beeper given to him by the blind man, nodded to Luke.

“Let’s go, prestigious country boy. Let me introduce you to the liqueur.”

* * *

When Luke came out of the office, his breath caught. Not to blame, it was really hard to breathe.

Plus, I felt the pressure, as if I had doubled my weight.

“Ugh, Keter. Do you think I’m the only one who has trouble breathing and my body feels heavy? are you okay?”

“It’s normal. There is twice as little air here as outside, and gravity is twice as strong.”

“what? Is that possible?”

“A liqueur is a place where no matter what happens, it is not strange.”

“Besides, this isn’t even on the ground.”

Kether’s office was not on the ground. tall tower. It was built at a height of well over 50 meters.

Even all sorts of strange buildings were popping up all around. There are no rules. There were round buildings, and there were pointed buildings.

There was no color harmony at all, so it looked like a building that existed in a completely different space rather than a building that existed in one space.

The density of the buildings was also very dense. The only tower with Keter’s office had some free space.

The first word that came to Luke’s mind was ‘chaos’.

“oh my god… Can you call this a city? I think you could believe this is just hell.”

“It’s no fun if you’re surprised already. look down.”

As Keter said, Luke looking down.

It was difficult to see because there were so many obstacles, but the visible section was also spectacular. Dirty looking aside, there was fog on the ground.

You can feel it even if you don’t go there.

And countless people walking on those streets.

Everything that came out was different.

“This is a lawless city… … .”

Luke was genuinely amazed.

Was Keter born and raised in a place like this? To Luke, Keter seemed more powerful than ever.

Then Keter grinned and said:

“Little boy. Someone ate the peel of an apple. Can you say that he ate an apple?”

“no. Apple peel is literally the peel. Even if there is a bit of flesh attached to it, I don’t think it’s hard to say that I ate an apple.”

“That is you. What you just saw is a liqueur that is just a shell.”

Keter pointed down with her finger.

“The real liqueur is not on the ground. It’s in the basement.”

“Ah, Keter. Yes, it’s underground. How big is the basement?”

“It’s much bigger than the ground?”

Luke couldn’t believe Keter’s words. An underground city larger than the surface? He thought that Keter was trying to make fun of him. so i just spilled it

“Chi, okay. Rather, how do you get down here? There are no stairs, do you go down by teleport?”

“Do you know what kind of circle 1 magic teleport is? It just goes down.”

“You’re jumping from here?”

it’s a lofty height Not to mention the commoners, even the knights did not dare to jump.

“I go first.”

Keter leaping down without any preliminary movement.

“uh!?”

Luke grabbed the railing and looked down.

Kether, who was falling, grabbed the rope hanging in mid-air with her bare hands.

The string stretched elastically, and Keter slowed down. When it reached 10 meters above the ground, Keter let go of the rope and landed on the ground.

thud!

As Keter landed in a puff of dust, passers-by burst into anger.

“This crazy bastard?”

“What kind of bastard are you!?”

The people who covered the dust began to flirt with weapons first, swearing that was difficult to put into their mouths.

Soon after, Keter walked out of the dust, and they turned around as if they had lost their temper.

“Oh, it’s Keter.”

“Keter might.”

Those who learned that it was Keter either went on their way or stopped to remain anonymous.

“I haven’t seen it lately, but it appears again.”

“There was a rumor that he went out, but it was a rumor after all. There’s no way I can leave the liqueur.”

Keter looked up and beckoned Luke to come quickly.

Luke swallowed.

If you learn Sephira’s aura practice, your eyesight will be especially strengthened. Thanks to that, you can see the ground clearly from this height, but your eyesight and physical abilities are different.

‘Can I hold a string like Keter? It even has double the gravity. My body is as heavy as lead.’

Catch a string that looks like a thread while falling quickly? Aside from the difficulty, I wondered if my palms would be able to withstand it.

‘Keter wasn’t even wearing gloves. He must have protected his palm with an aura. But if I protect my palm with an aura, on the contrary, the destructive power of the aura won’t the string break?’

Luke got goosebumps.

In other words, Keter didn’t just hold the rope and slow down to land. While protecting the string from being cut, it also protected the palm at the same time.

Luke was not aware of how sophisticated aura control that would require.

‘I can not. This is self-confidence, and it’s not that kind of area.’

Luke took a deep breath.

It didn’t mean that I couldn’t do it like Keter, I didn’t mean to give up.

‘I’m going to land my own way.’

A misfortune detection ability that has yet to be named.

Luke jumped towards the ‘Saint Lo’ indicated by that ability.

Unlike Keter, who fell freely up to 50 meters, Luke stepped on the edge of the opposite building as soon as he jumped and slowed down.

Due to the double gravity, my stamina was exhausted four times faster, but if I stopped, I would not be able to do it again, so I continued jumping.

Although it took quite a while, in the end, Luke also succeeded in coming down to the ground.

Excellent sorghum!

Crumbs fall from the sky as the places Luke steps on collapse.

Among them were large pieces that would go to the goal if hit, but no one on the ground cared and avoided them.

It’s because he has the idea that it’s not the fault of the person who dropped it, but the fault of the one who couldn’t avoid it.

“Heh, heh… … .”

Luke, who had barely landed on the ground, felt his heart burst.

‘Just because I ran this much, my stamina is already at its limit. My throat is too dry.’

Even the air here was very unpleasant.

It was so sticky that it seemed to cling to my whole body, and my nose was instantly paralyzed by the stench I had never smelled before.

Luke, already thirsty, said as soon as Keter came to his side.

“Keter, let’s drink water first. I feel like throwing up.”

“The water shop is over there.”

Keter kindly pointed her finger at me.

It was more like a prison than a store. It was blocked on all sides by iron bars and thick glass, and there was a small hole in the middle.

Luke went to the front of the store for now. A bizarre-looking old man was standing in the middle of the hole.

“Give me some water.”

At Luke’s words, the old man opened his mouth.

“Give me the money.”

“Oh, wait.”

Why don’t you show me your stuff at the store and give me your money first?

It’s strange to Luke’s common sense, but there is a saying in Samael to follow Samael’s law. I thought there must be a liqueur law in liqueur.

Luke, who had received plenty of money from his family, held out a silver coin. It was an excessive amount to buy water, but I couldn’t help it because there were no fairy tales.

The old man took a silver coin with his long fingernails and said.

“Give me more.”

“I beg your pardon? Hey. Didn’t I give you 1 silver?”

From noble mtl dot com

The price of water sold at the city inn is a fairy tale.

No matter how expensive it is, it’s two pieces.

“Give me two more silver.”

“Three silvers for a glass of water? Where is the price tag?”

“Cluck, are you a newcomer? Liqueur doesn’t have a price tag. Get out if you don’t want to buy water.”

“I knew. Give me the 1 silver I gave you.”

“huh? What are you talking about. Have I never received anything like that?”

“Are you kidding me? You took my money!”

“I don’t know. If you’re not going to buy water, get out.”

Luke’s face turned red at the shameless act.

At that time, a swordsman from somewhere intervened in front of Luke.

“Give me a glass of water.”

A swordsman who gives three fairy tales.

The old man immediately held out a wooden goblet full of water. The swordsman, who drank water at once on the spot, smiled at Luke.

“You say It looks kind of cute. If you want to drink water, I have some left in my mouth, would you like to drink it?”

Luke passed out.

To hear such words from someone I had never seen before, or even from a man who looked extremely dirty. It was Luke who felt something beyond anger.

When Luke subconsciously revealed that he was going to die, the swordsman left with only the word ‘cute’ and withdrew.

“Look at this. He only paid 3 bronzes, so why did you give him water?”

At Luke’s question, the old man retrieved his glass of water and said,

“I told you. In liqueur, everything is market price. Since you’re an outsider, you can’t drink water unless you pay 3 silver. It’s the same wherever you go. Rather, the one I sell the cheapest?”

Luke was so angry.

Power went into my fist. I wanted to break through the thick glass and bars blocking my eyes and grab the old man by the collar.

But Luke is a knight.

No matter how angry I was, I was not taught to resolve it with violence. It was then that Luke sighed and was about to take out two more silver from his pocket.

“Hey, give me a glass of water too.”

Keter, who had been watching, suddenly appeared and said,
