Woke up as a Worthless Swordsmanship Genius Chapter 237

Episode 237:

It was a water bottle that took the form of a potion seen in the game.

What is this? Because my eyes had not fully healed yet, I could not see exactly what was in the water bottle.

As I looked at him with eyes full of questions, Count Millennium pretended to drink.

Since there was no way I, as a father, would kill my son, I opened the cap of the water bottle without much doubt.

Judging by Riems’s silence, it is clear that this is not a poison or similar substance that harms the body.

Drink.

It doesn’t taste good. There was no scent.

Water has scent and taste. Depending on the region and situation, the taste of iron may be stronger or various flavors may be added.

The surrounding valley water, which is full of ginseng and wild ginseng, is like drinking mineral water.

Of course, ordinary people cannot easily feel it, but those with sensitive senses of taste or smell can definitely feel it.

And it was the same for me.

No matter how imperfect his body was, he had superhuman senses that were more sensitive than those of an ordinary person.

The fact that I couldn’t sense anything with my senses of smell and taste made me think that it was made this way from the beginning.

“It doesn’t taste good.”

“I guess so. “Because it feels worse not to feel any taste than to feel the original taste.”

Like they say, it would be nice to at least feel the taste, but this just feels like I’m literally drinking a liquid.

Honestly, it was a bit unpleasant.

I think it would be better if it wasn’t delicious.

I had no idea I would react like this to taste.

I was about to leave it because it seemed like it would continue to rise from the inside, but Count Millennium came up to me, grabbed the water bottle, and lifted it up.

Since I keep it in my mouth, he hits his throat and forces me to swallow it.

“Ugh….”

“Don’t throw up. “It’s a precious medicine that I can only get once a year.”

When I try to ask if it is okay to use something so precious so carelessly, a burning heat rises from within.

It was hot, so hot that I didn’t even worry if my insides were burning. It was so hot that my head turned blank.

I was in a daze, unable to even speak or collapse.

Heat like lava came out of the heart and spread through the blood vessels throughout the body.

“…What is this?”

My voice didn’t come out well.

I didn’t scream like crazy or just woke up, but my voice became hoarse.

Fortunately, the intense heat subsided and I was able to come to my senses, albeit late.

“I told you. “It’s medicine.”

“What kind of medicine is this…”

I couldn’t continue.

While I was talking, the heat disappeared and a refreshing feeling that cannot be explained in words made me ecstatic.

Count Millennium must have seen my expression and nodded with satisfaction.

“It’s an elixir. “To be exact, it’s a diluted elixir… but the effect is still clear.”

crazy. I almost swore without realizing it.

Elixir.

An all-purpose potion that always appears at least once in fantasy novels.

It completely restores people who are on the verge of death, extends their lifespan, and makes them healthy.

In addition, the elixir gives the person who takes it tremendous strength.

And it was the same in this world where I live.

To make it, the saint had to abstain from eating and drinking for a year and pray.

Even then, 100ml is all, and no additional elixir can be made for 3 years after making it.

Her holy power was depleted, and the influence she could exert on the world through God also disappeared.

Therefore, it was something that was not easily done even in the Holy Kingdom.

‘The Auror has doubled…’

They say what I drank was two drops of elixir diluted in water.

But the moment I drank it, although I felt pain, all the bad things left in my body disappeared.

At least my vision, which had been bad as a side effect of the power, became clear in an instant, so I’ve said it all.

I thought that alone was great because my vitality also increased.

The power of two drops of elixir was enormous.

The amount of aurors I previously had was twice that of regular knights.

In the first place, it was a body like a river connected to the sea to draw in external auras.

But now the mouth of the river has become enormously wide.

If the original width was 50m, it is now twice that wide, at 100m.

Anyway, it’s not a bad thing from my perspective.

Rather, it can be seen as a good thing.

One of the things a Master needs is the quantity and quality of Aurors.

‘At this level, you can say you’re at the top level.’

As an elixir, also known as God’s elixir, it increased the quality and quantity of the auras I had like crazy.

Of course, it was necessary to train physically, but one necessary process was unintentionally solved.

It’s good, it’s clear that it’s good, but strangely enough, I can’t hide the feeling of discomfort.

If it’s this valuable, it won’t be easy to get it like he said.

Since you’re the Earl of Millennium, you can get it even if it’s diluted. Other nobles wouldn’t have it.

It was questionable that such a precious place was given to me without any reason, request, or condition.

“What do you want?”

I couldn’t help but feel nervous.

If he said he did it simply because he wanted to heal his child, I had the confidence to tell him not to talk nonsense.

Count Millennium and I weren’t that close.

Although things have changed recently as I have changed, my relationship with him was still awkward.

It was inevitable that before I came, Raymond had tarnished the name Millennium in all sorts of ways.

No, it wasn’t strange to say that the words were dirty and smeared with poop.

Even if it has shown some good results recently, that doesn’t mean it can resolve all the resentment that has accumulated over the years.

“You can give it to your son. “Do you think I did that because I wanted something in particular?”

“yes.”

When I didn’t deny it, he just nodded rather than frowning.

That was the natural reaction.

“You may think so, but this time I just gave it with a pure heart, so there is no need to be so cautious.”

It’s easy, but it’s not that easy.

It is not an ordinary potion, but an elixir that cannot be bought even if you pay hundreds of millions of dollars.

Naturally, it wasn’t strange that I felt pressured.

Rather, it’s crazy to accept those words and say, ‘Oh, that’s right.’

In fact, saying it like that made me even more scared.

I wonder what on earth they want from me and what they want me to do that makes them do that.

However, since there was no one around to answer my questions, I had no choice but to ask him directly.

“It’s strange that there are no boundaries. “We’re not that close, are we?”

He scratched his cheek with a strange expression at my direct words.

After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded, saying it wasn’t wrong.

“But I thought our relationship had gotten a little better recently.”

“‘A little bit.’”

And even that was just out of necessity.

Normally, I would never have had a personal conversation with him.

The only reason I talk to him is to ask why I’ve changed, to understand what’s going on, when he calls me, or when I ask him for something I want or need to do.

Except for that time, being with him was burdensome and frustrating to me.

He is not a witty and humorous person and is very quiet, so unless there is something to do, the atmosphere becomes suffocating.

I don’t really like it.

No, I think that’s the same even if it’s not me.

Who likes suffocating silence?

“If you think that way, there’s nothing you can do. But it’s true. “Millennium has gained a lot thanks to what you did this time.”

Ah, then I felt a little relieved.

I could accept it with peace of mind as long as I was being compensated for my actions.

If that was the case, I would have told you sooner.

My heart sank because I was taking a break for no reason.

“All right. I had a good time drinking it. “Then can I just leave?”

“Is there anything else you want to say to me?”

“I understand that it was Ellis who reported it, but…”

“Yes, I heard it. But it feels different from hearing it from the person in question. Instead of doing this, let’s go to my office and have an in-depth conversation.”

“….”

hate.

But I couldn’t say no.

I had no choice but to obediently follow what he said before I could refuse.

“It’s best to erase any thoughts of running away. “Unless you want to spread the word about your pet.”

Pets.

It was not difficult to find out that the word meant Reems.

What on earth happened?

Cold sweat flows. I definitely feel like I’ve solved a big case, but for some reason it feels like it’s gotten bigger.

“Then go.”

He raises his eyebrows at my stiff expression and turns his back.

I followed him like a cow being led to the slaughterhouse.

“Uh, Raymond too… ah….”

Those who discovered me approached and stopped when they spotted Count Millennium.

When they saw my expression and mood, they instinctively sensed that it was not the time to talk to them, so they immediately turned around and left the place.

I walked to the office as if I were a ghost that everyone could see but could not see.

“Do you drink black tea? “Well, there is only black tea.”

He personally gives me a ride and invites me to take a seat.

I sat down on the sofa and swallowed dry saliva.

My mind is complicated.

What should I say? What excuse should I make?

But no matter how much I thought about it, I couldn’t think of a good excuse.

In another sense, I feel like I have become a blank slate.

‘How on earth do you know?’

Have I ever told him about Riems?

No, there isn’t.

At that time, I was very worried about the existence of dragons.
