chapter 227
227 – Scene 227# Real Purpose
*
Hmmmm…
Myo Ha-il woke up from a nap and stretched his waist.
The sunlight pouring through the window was warm.
The place where he is hanging out like a flowing liquid is a villa on the grounds of Ruelberta’s mansion. This was where Wendy’s family lived.
‘It’s already been half a year…’
Time passed quickly after I became a guest of the Ruelberta family.
How long has it been since I’ve been out in this world for so long…
The world is originally a place full of annoying and useless things.
Don’t wizards who are supposed to search for the truth amidst rules and freedom grow and fight with each other over being right? It even causes war. I was so sick of that pathetic behavior.
Moreover, people in the world did not want to leave him alone.
The first sage and living legend, his immense power and his rivals that of a natural disaster. If you can use his power, it will be like gaining a thousand armies and ten thousand demons.
Myohail took on the pseudonym Myoil and took on the position of university library director and university president, a position he reluctantly assumed because he was indebted to this country.
Of course, most of them have been thrown away a long time ago.
The library was left to the cat librarians, and the president handed it over to Mondry.
In this way, the world was full of troublesome things.
However, it was clearly because of atonement that he, who had rejected and hated the worldly life, came here.
While on a journey to become a wise man, for the dead Grace and the lost child he never saw.
He took Wendy, his bloodline discovered after hundreds of years, as his disciple.
‘Haha… Cute guy…’
Myohail smoothed his long beard.
Wendy was a child that wouldn’t hurt to put it in her eyes.
He is a descendant of Grace, the first woman he loved and the first warrior.
To him, it felt like he had a cute granddaughter rather than a student.
After Wendy’s parents and younger siblings came under the earl’s protection, Myohail felt happy living with her distant descendants.
“Ah! Meow! “You were here!”
The person who suddenly stuck her head out at the window where Myohail was lying was Ruri, Wendy’s younger sister and the youngest member of the Wingfield family.
“Meow~.”
“Ehehe.”
Myo Ha-il cried softly and fell into Ruri’s arms.
Except for the Count and Wendy, there is no one in the mansion who knows his identity. That’s why I have to act like a cat like this.
You might ask whether it feels shameful for an old man who is old enough to act like this, but Myohail’s mentality was already well-established.
In addition, he has abandoned his human body and lived in the body of a cat for so many years that he is no different from the cat itself. It has been a long time since we reached the state of unity between everything and everything.
Ruri, holding Myohail in her arms, is going somewhere at a brisk pace. The destination seemed different from his expectations
‘Hmm? Didn’t you give them food?’
Since he couldn’t ask where he was going, Myohail made a cat meowing sound.
“Miao?”
“Ugh? Where are you going?”
“Miao!”
After all, Ruri is in my blood. A genius among geniuses who can understand the meaning just by hearing someone cry.
Ruri said, rubbing the bridge of his nose against Myohail’s head hers.
“Lol… “You know that now.”
“Miao?”
“Ah! Sister! I brought it!”
Oh, I guess I did something and Wendy found me. Haha…
“Ah… Ruri…”
The one sitting on the sofa was Wendy.
Wendy welcomes Ruri with an awkward smile…
‘Hmm?!’
At that moment, Myo Ha-il felt his hair standing on end.
I made eye contact with the man standing next to Wendy.
“Count! Lol…”
“Okay. “It was hard to bring him.”
The person who gently stroked Ruri’s head was the black nobleman, Tristan.
He was looking at Myohail with a dark, ‘arrogant’ face.
There is some kind of plan behind this.
Myohail’s instincts were saying so.
His intuition that something troublesome would happen was never wrong.
And my body moved faster than I thought.
“Ah? Meow?!”
Myo Ha-il escaped from Ruri’s arms and ran away.
“Master… ! No no. Hey, meow!?”
Myoha-il disappears, ignoring his disciple’s urgent cries.
It happened in an instant.
His mysterious defense mechanism, which had avoided numerous crises so far, was accurate this time too.
Wendy, who was left behind, looked at Tristan and asked.
“Uh, what should I do…”
“What can I do?”
Tristan ordered Wendy.
“Bring him alive.”
*
“I understand the situation, so let go! A cat’s body is delicate!”
“Oh, no! “You’re going to run away again!”
Two hours later, Myo Ha-il was brought into Wendy’s office, tightly held in her arms.
Myo Ha-il, who was as quick as a ghost with his wits, ran away before we could say anything. Just like his intelligence, his ability to run away was as fast as lightning.
It’s hard to catch even an ordinary cat, so a wise man disguised as a cat is all he can say.
Through her numerous trainings, Wendy’s physical strength and magic have become stronger than before. But even so, she was not good enough to deal with the wise man.
Wendy wandered around her mansion, trying to catch up on her secrets.
Wendy was exhausted and ended up crying.
-Sniff… I’m a teacher…
-Ugh?!
-Why do you keep running away? . Hehe… It’s too much…
-Ooh, don’t cry.
Wendy’s Crying Crying skill left even the wise man unable to move.
No magic can be more powerful than Wendy’s tears.
In the end, she was arrested while comforting a crying Wendy.
After hearing the explanation, Myohail expressed his displeasure at first.
As expected, Myohail is a neutral character who never intervenes even in wars or natural disasters. Even when the devil appeared in the original work, and even when players were making jokes in the online game, he stayed in the library and lived a secluded life.
Myohail is the first head of the Cremont family and the first wizard to receive the name of a wise man.
His past, which seemed to have as many stories as his long years, was shrouded in mystery.
I don’t know why he turns away from the world and lives a secluded life.
Well, how can I understand the deep meaning of an old man who is considered a wise man…
However, what is certain is that Myohail cares for Wendy very much.
Maybe his affection for his young disciple deepened, or maybe he felt it was more special because he was a disciple who inherited the bloodline of a legendary warrior.
Anyway, I was planning on using Wendy as an excuse to lure him out.
At first, Myo Ha-il coldly refused. There was no reason for him to accompany the northern expedition, and he scolded Wendy not to go.
So, I thought I might fail, but like me, Myohail eventually surrendered after Wendy’s tearful persuasion.
“Ah, I got it! Okay! “Wouldn’t it be okay if we go together to the North or something?”
“S, you are the teacher!!”
“I’m suffocating, Yonseok. This time, I’m accompanying you because of my cute student, but keep that in mind. Count. “I will not participate in the war.”
“Okay.”
That’s what I hope for too.
I was worried that Myoha-il might just wipe out the northern part because it was annoying.
If Myohail did something like that, the work I’m planning in the north could come to nothing. It is best for Myohail to intervene appropriately while protecting Wendy.
“Hmm… I am only accompanying Wendy as her guardian, so other than that, I have no part-time job. “I’m sad, Count, you take care of your body?!”
“Thank you! Hehe… Thank you so much! Master… !”
“Ouch! Mustache! Mustache! Don’t pull your beard! Sick! It hurts so much! “Hey!”
“Hi?! Oh, did it hurt?! Oh, I’m sorry! Ugh…”
“Oh, it doesn’t hurt! Haha… This old man is sick… So don’t cry.”
Still, look at how he endures it because he is his beloved disciple…
I thought about Wendy and her strange work.
Everything is smooth.
Enough imperial troops have been gathered, expedition and reliable forces to accompany the northern have been gathered.
Although it is already difficult to be certain, the probability of failure in the northern expedition became even slimmer with Myohail’s companionship.
But there was still one important thing left.
Because my real goal wasn’t just to recapture the North.
*
Midnight that day.
I secretly gathered several people in my office.
“Everyone is gathered.”
“Yes.”
In the dark office, a total of six people, including Helga, Lian, and the annihilation maid, were standing in an orderly manner with me at the center.
I leaned back in my chair and looked at them.
All six of them are experts in combat and can be said to be the core fighters of our family.
However, everyone was very nervous because they had never called in late at night like this before.
The first to speak was Helga, a confidant and bodyguard.
“Count… “What do you have to say to us?”
“Do you know why we are leaving for the North?”
“Yes?”
They look like they are asking something obvious.
This time, the representative Helga spoke with a smile.
“Hehe… Of course. By killing all the monsters and demons… Ah.”
Helga suddenly realizes Lian next to her and closes her mouth. However, Ryan didn’t seem to care at all.
“Count. Ryan. Are you going to the north to eat monsters?”
Rihanna asks naturally.
Just looking at it, it looked like he was nervous and had a sip of blood on his face.
Well, to her, as a half-human and half-blood demon, both humans and demons are equally strangers.
Helga thought for a moment and spoke confidently, like a student who remembered the answer.
“Hmm… You could say that we are going to the north together with the Count to drive out evil monsters and demons. And the true purpose of this expedition is to place the North in the Count’s hands! “Am I right?”
“Wrong.”
“Okay… I’m wrong again… Shock…”
Actually, I’ve been thinking about it for a while.
My ultimate goal is to save this world from players.
To do that, we must unite this world.
“I will not drive out the demons from the north.”
The maids were not in a fuss, but were exchanging glances with each other.
“Uh… Then, rather than driving them out, can we kill them all cleanly?”
“Can’t Rihanna eat it all?”
“Neither.” If possible, I will not kill them.”
“What you mean by not killing… ?”
Muri, the elder of the Annihilation Maids, asked a question.
Since I said this, you must be curious.
What am I going to tell them from now on?
“I do not want needless slaughter. “Slaughtering is inefficient and of poor quality.”
As you can see from looking at Lian, it is better to keep him under control than to kill him.
It’s the same for the demons of the north.
“So I thought. In that case, wouldn’t it be of greater benefit to us in the future to dominate them?”
“Dominion… ?”
“Okay. I am a greedy man. Helga, you said you would give me the North, but it is useless because you only have land.”
“Then…”
I got up from the chair and spoke in a low voice to those standing in the dark.
A way to unite this world expedition and the true purpose of this northern.
“I will become the devil.”
