Chapter 77.“Spirit beast's bones? Never heard even once.”
Unlike Treon Logan showed a more positive appearance than thought.
“Heard of a sword made processing demonic beast's bones. Said harder than thought.”
“Then for now have to ask once.”
I exited the office and looked for Blackie.
Blackie was sitting placing a cushion near the window enjoying the warm sunlight.
Whether languid yawning big, the white teeth sparkled sparkling in the sunlight.
“Blackie.”
When I called kindly, Blackie looked at me with an anxious gaze.[...
Why, Master?]
“Do you by chance know other spirit beasts?”
Anyway asking Blackie for live teeth too cruel.
Planned to aim for the bones or teeth of ones whose lifespan already ended among spirit beasts.
Still the same race as Blackie so can slice diamond level.[If known spirit beast Riolen?]
“No, not that guy.”
Blackie opened his eyes wide and looked at me.
The severely shaking pupils seemed heard extremely shocking words.[Master, by chance...]
Oh dear, surely not noticed my plan.[Want to contract with other spirit beasts besides me?]
“Eh?”
Blackie stood up abruptly with both feet and said.[My words correct, right? Master, now insufficient with me so trying to contract with other spirit beasts? Lucius is different race so can understand, but bringing in other spirit beasts can't tolerate. Know Master has a lot of greed... still other spirit beasts all weaker than me. Master also said I'm the best.]
How excited, seemed the longest and fastest among the words he said until now meeting Blackie.
I first decided to correct Blackie's misunderstanding.
“Not such a thing. Contracting with other spirit beasts, never thought even once.”[Really?]
“Right! I have you! There's the strongest and coolest spirit beast in the world need to contract with other spirit beasts again?”[Right?]
Praising a lot then whether the mood loosened Blackie shook his tail and sat again.[Good. Because I trust Master.]
Anyway among spirit beasts the contractor contracting with other spirit beasts seemed an extremely sensitive issue.
Anyway I also had no mind to contract with other spirit beasts besides Blackie.
“Not such a thing but trying to make Lus's sword using spirit beast's teeth or bones. Originally used a sword made with Viratium ore, but Blackie your teeth look much harder than that.”
Saying praising Blackie, Blackie stretched his neck long.[Naturally my teeth much harder than such mere ore. Lucius always can't control magic power and bursts the sword, but my teeth no matter how much blowing that mere magic power doesn't burst.]
“Really? Blackie you, not too amazing? I contracted with such a cool spirit beast?”[But can't use my teeth as a sword.]
“Um, right. Can't pull live teeth...” [That mere teeth even if pulling grow again. The same as Master cutting nails.]
“Then small?”
Blackie was still as small as the palm and cute.
To make a sword even gathering 500 teeth lacking.[My true body is enormously big. Master also saw when contracting with me.]
I barely recalled the memory of 5 years ago.
Right, Blackie when first meeting was really like a wall.
“But you can't grow now?”[That's all because of the seal. Still if only needing teeth can go to the spirit beast realm so not that much a problem.]
“Then what is the problem?”[Cold energy.]
When Blackie blew breath huu, the moisture in the air instantly froze white.[Said. I'm the spirit beast of water and cold. My teeth are extremely cold so not suitable to use as a sword.]
“When I touched your teeth last time okay?”
I recalled putting my hand in Blackie's mouth and touching the teeth before.
Smooth and a bit cold but not to the extent of unable to touch.[At that time I controlled the cold energy. But if separating from my body I can't control.]
“Colder than ice?”[An ordinary person the moment grabbing, would freeze as is. Have to find a blacksmith who knows special processing.]
“No kid among spirit beasts who knows processing?”[I'll look into once.]
“Yeah, please.”* * *Blackie headed to the spirit beast realm after a long time.
Entering the spirit beast realm, the small dragon disappeared and a huge dragon visible as a mountain revealed its appearance.
He spread his wings wide and flew up into the sky.
The place arrived was a place where the land ripe with heat cracked crackling, and a small volcano spouted fire.
Landing on the floor white smoke rose then the surroundings instantly froze.[Is there.]
Everywhere Blackie's steps reached the fire went out and smooth ice like his territory arose.
Blackie stirred others' territories as he pleased and looked for the territory's owner.
If seeing would say please don't do this once, but who told to live in such a hot place.
Him liking cold places was instinct.
Ordinarily would look around once and just return, but since Master's request after a long time carefully looked in case something hidden somewhere.
Swinging the tail once whoosh, the cliff around collapsed making a noisy sound.[Really none.]
Master will be disappointed.
Shall I wait a bit more.
Pondering for a moment the tail of a white mouse hiding behind a pile of stones far away was visible.
The mouse thought Blackie not seeing and wiggled its butt and quickly ran behind another pile of stones.[There, mouse kid.][Huk!]
The mouse startled and awkwardly acknowledged.[O-long time no see.]
Blackie opened his eyes narrowly.[Who was it?][Th-that, just a passing mouse...]
Bang!
Blackie's tail struck the stone with all might.
The mouse trembled seeing the shattered pile of stones.[Fire bird, the mouse teacher helping Fire bird-nim's work!][Ah, right. Was. Where did the fire bird go? Have something to request.][Told me not to say even if winter-nim comes...][Said not to say to me?]
The thin pupil unique to reptiles narrowed and flashed more threateningly.
The mouse desperately rolled its head.
The fire bird-nim he serves has a bit dirty personality but still quite merciful.
If saying was threatened would get angry, but still would understand as unavoidable.
But the winter-nim in front of the eyes the true body is a dragon but the personality is exactly a dog.[I-I also don't know the exact location. When last heard said staying in the Cerite Viscount house in the Empire capital.][Right? When was that?][3, about 3 years ago...][By chance if other news comes in say right away.]
Blackie who was satisfied with the answer flapped his wings to leave.
Had to quickly inform this news to Master.* * *“Cerite Viscount house?”[Yes.]
Blackie answered neatly tearing and eating the highest grade sapphire.
A special meal for Blackie who went to the spirit beast realm and worked hard.
If the Cerite Viscount house a place that stood out in the past few years leading with the family head possessing genius skill.
The weapons that family recently produced were all excellent, but among them the weapons the Viscount directly made boasted high quality to the extent of the price being whatever calling.
A family small scale to the extent of no territory even, but if becoming a vassal of an okay high noble could grow at once.‘No memory of seeing in the original...’ Not all nobles came out in the original, and I also twisted the original a lot so something change might have arisen.
“Then the Cerite Viscount exerting enormous skill also might be thanks to contracting with that spirit beast.”[Would be. Because that guy can process all materials existing in the world into the most excellent form.]
Didn't particularly put interest because no memory of seeing in the original, but contracted with a spirit beast so definitely had to bring to our family.
Anyway when digging ores from the Tragia Plain needed a person to entrust refining and if possible seemed okay to entrust that work to the Viscount too.
“Have to look into once. Still fortunate near the capital. Anyway have to go to the capital because of the founding festival.”[Refining my teeth and making the sword won't take much so enough time until the founding festival too.]* * *We decided to leave for the capital earlier than planned.
Unavoidably rode the carriage together with me, but Lus and Blackie today also not good relationship.
Lus stuck tightly beside me sitting and guarded Blackie sitting opposite.
Not good relationship like that so even if making a sword with Blackie's teeth working hard worried whether Lus will use.
What if throwing away saying dislike using a sword made with that guy's teeth or such?
I asked Lus just in case.
“Lus.”
“Yes, older sister. Why?”
Lus's eyes that rose sharply looking at Blackie curved kindly like spring sunlight looking at me.
Realizing now to the extent of wondering why until now didn't realize Lus likes me Lus didn't hide his heart toward me.
The face sparkling sparkling in the sunlight that entered through the carriage window gap too pretty.
Can I see only such a pretty face.
Have to make all the world people know our Lus is this pretty.
If Korea would want to put advertisements with Lus's face on buildings and boast neighborhood to neighborhood.
When I had no words for a moment appreciating his face, Lus tilted his head looking at me.
“Older sister?”
“Yes? Uh, uhh.”
“Why, suddenly blank? Motion sickness? Ate the motion sickness medicine earlier...”
The face of worried Lus too pretty so without knowing said as if bewitched.
“No, you too pretty...”
At my words Lus said coyly with a reddened face.
“Older sister prettier...”
Of course I also objectively a pretty face, but Lus was a bit different.
Not only the features but even one strand of the long extended eyelashes not regretting the praise of the god's best masterpiece.
Lus whispered small as if saying a secret.
“Pretty to the extent of wanting to show only me not showing to other people.”
I who was bewitched by Lus's face barely cleared my throat and came to senses.
“Hmm hmm, Lus. What tried to ask not that.”
“Yeah.”
“This time's sword trying to make with Blackie's teeth, okay?”
Actually even if Lus dislikes no choice.
Just have to diligently persuade well.
Then Lus folded the eye area and smiled softly.
“Older sister, not the important making with Blackie's teeth but the important older sister giving to me.”
“What's different about that?”
“Different. Then becomes older sister gifting to me.”
Lus said firmly.
“I if even giving that beast whole if that is older sister gifting, have confidence to willingly feed that beast three meals a day and even cut the claws.”
Usually disliked Blackie that much.
Then now just have to make the sword well and gift to Lus, and win the founding festival.
Looking outside the window far away the Valfruga castle boasting a lofty figure was visible.
Even when first coming to marry Lus didn't know the day would come thinking that castle as home, becoming such a relationship with Lus.
That day, I who left for the capital smiling also wouldn't have known.
That I won't be able to return to the Valfruga ducal castle again.
If knew could we have made other choices?
