TL: Zimming

Mixed races usually grow slowly. Not only physically, but also mentally. Just like Seto whose appearance looked like a five or six years old child, and also had a personality that was too naive for a 15-year-old.

Yes, but Seto didnt look anything out of the ordinary. Those kinds of people usually have unique features.

According to the records, human-werewolves have ears, and the mixed-breed man who attacked me at a slave auction when I was 4-years-old also had reptile-like skin on the back of his hands, arms, and legs.

Seto nodded as if he understood and added,

Its not like that all the time. My grandma is the nymph.

Then it makes sense that Seto seemed completely human.

What do you mean? Youre 15? What are you doing? A grown man shouldnt do something stupid like thatWait a minute, you! You are fifteen yet you act like a little boy?!

While Isaac was busy focusing on his age, Henry, who was quick-witted, seems to have figured out the whole story by hearing our conversation.

Stop.

What, arent you even mad?

It doesnt matter now. Its possible that the person who received the protection was Leblaine, so we-

Just then.

Lord, master adventurer too, give it back!

What?

I shouted urgently.

Zachary!

The old nymph shoutex Kiiik!! As he revealed his thousands of teeth, the adult nymphs in front of him also rushed at him.

Zachary came out of his stupor and swung his spear to shake off the adult nymphs.

Meanwhile, Henry made a barrier. The nymphs who were getting closer were being held off by Henrys barrier as they screamed.

Isaac and Henry were next to me on both sides.

What If kid was the one being protected, they have no reason to attack us.

Leblaine, do you understand that old nymph? Why is he after us?

While Isaac and Henry spoke in order, I shook my head and gulped

I dont know. It called me a master and asked me to return it Ah!

When Henry and I noticed something and exchanged glances, Isaac asked urgently.

Why the hell are they doing it?

They see us as enemies that captured Leblaine.

Isaac broke Henrys barrier and attacked the nymph who was approaching us. As he leaped and pointed the tip of the sword at the fallen nymph, I shouted.

Wait, wait!

Isaac, who had stopped, moved the sword away. I quickly pull Isaac by my side

They have a deep affection for their people. If you kill one nymph here, they will be out of their minds!

The nymphs were a powerful being. They would easily deal with other monsters, but not nymphs. Nymph was a forgotten being. Setos grandfather was the special one. It was impossible to know how he had a child with a nymph, an ancient monster.

Its true that ancient monsters are hundreds of times stronger than modern monsters!

Anyway, we cant defeat those nymphs alone. So, there is only one way to get home safely. I took a few steps forward and said,

Lets negotiate with them.

Henry and Isaac said Leblaine! simultaneously, Kid, its dangerous! , but I gulped with a determined expression on my face.

Can you hear me?

The old nymph who was raging with his sharp teeth exposed,then shut his mouth very slowly.

Ki, wait, there you are. Ooh, the existence our god blessed, Th,the adventurer.

It works, it talks to me!

I smiled broadly.

***

Our group followed the nymphs through the mine.

Where the hell are we going?

Isaac, who frowned, grumbled.

It wasnt because of his irritation walking for a long time, rather it was because of anxiety.

In this situation, the only thing to believe is the old nymphs word.

We, we do not kill our people, mothers, and adventurers.

I have tried running away in case something happens, but it didnt trigger the nymphs movement.

I cant escape from this large number of nymphs with physical force, so my life is ultimately in their hands.

The nymphs stopped near an entrance. Then,

Huh?

Krrr!The wall opened with a sound when the old nymph went forward.

A, adventurer, an In, invitation.

The nymph who said so got out of the way. There was a proper staircase inside the cracked wall.

Henry scrutinized the place and narrowed his brow.

Its not something a nymph can make. This is a human skill.

Who in the world would.

Its likely that he was a veteran in the past.

Oh my god.

We went down the stairs still full of wariness.

Fireflies and glowing flowers lit up the dark room. That flower was the first thing Ive ever seen in my life. There was also an excerpt in the legend, [The boy walked along the glowing white night flower]. But seeing this with our own eyes was a once-in-a lifetime experience. A newfound courage and spirit filled my entire being.

The legend of the warrior Tesla was true. There was nothing exaggerated, and rather the story was an understatement. Zacharys wounds healed when he touched the glowing flower bud. The knights also looked thrilled. But-

Imagine if I sell those, how much would I get!

Oh my god, my head was already filled with the sound of money. How many zeros would I get from it?

Huh?

Suddenly, the flower buds near me lost their light and withered.

The old nymph shouted in anger.

Y, your greedy and gloomy imaginations are polluting our sanctuary!

Oh my god

I gulped, and the old nymph still reprimanded me.

A, adventurer, youre trash! Garbage!

I indeed agree with him.

Yes! Im trash!

I walked alongside the nymphs, trying to erase the bundle of money from my head.

When I went down the stairs, there were countless white night flowers, a huge pedestal, and a few blankets. And

Ah.

I could see why the nymphs attacked us to guard this place desperately.

Skinny nymphs, female and sick male nymphs trembled with wary eyes seeing us. Inside the nymphs cave, it was as cold as winter, but no one was wearing proper clothing. While me and the knights were panicking and looking around, the baby nymph took the peanuts from me. I ran to the nymphs hiding in the cave. Then Seto handed me another bag of peanuts like the one that the baby nymph stole from me.

Maybe it went out to find food for people who were hiding...

Seto said he felt sorry for it.

The hiding nymphs ate the peanuts that were given to them. Even to its skin.

SqueakSqueak

The tiny nymphs held out the peanut shell to the nymph who stole the peanut bag, but the nymph who stole the peanut bag shook his head.

It didnt eat much before.

I felt sorry for them. Hence, I took some food from Isaac pouch.

Huh? Kid, what are you doing? Are you hungry?

Isaac said in bewilderment, but I didnt reply until I took out a bunch of emergency biscuits and chocolates from his pocket, and gave it to the nymphs.

Here, eat this too.

.

The nymphs were looking at me with wary eyes, but they secretly took a glimpse of the biscuits. After taking a small bite, its eyes grew wide and it ate the biscuit in a hurry.

Isaac clicked his tongue.

We dont know how long we have to stay here, yet you give precious food like this. We dont even have enough to feed our soldiers.

I hissed and lowered my voice.

Ive lived as a beggar and I know how it felt. Its the cheapest way to gain favours.

Leblaine smiled, just as Isaacs expression brightened.

Youre a cunning kid like a Dubbled!

Isaac is just as mean.

The knights and Seto were astonished when me and Isaac praised each other with excitement.

A, ad, adventurer. On behalf of nymphs, thank you.

The expression of the old nymph became kind.

Okay, now we could start negotiating.

Am I a warrior?

T, the adventurer, a warrior?

Does it not know the word warrior?

Someone like Tesla.

Te, Tesla!

When the old nymph shouted, the whole nymphs follow suit.

T, the adventurer!

As expected, I guess Im a warrior.

the moment I thought so. The old nymph shouted, spitting, Kiii!

Mean adventurer!

Bad!

Bad!

Bad adventurer!

The nymphs, who had only chirped so far, speak to curse Tesla.

Hes a mean adventurer, a thief. He treated our master like a slave. Bad, Bad!

After the old nymph said so, the giant nymphs showed off their teeth.

Isaac and Henry glanced at me.

What are they saying?

Leblaine?

No one seemed to notice that I was the only one who could understand nymphs.

Maybe its a very disadvantageous situation for me to pose as the same side with warrior.

What do I do?

I gulped and shouted.

How could he do that! Hes a bad person! Right?!

Only then, the old nymph smiled kindly.

The second adventurer is a good person. She gave us food.

Yes! Im nice! I dont take anything from nymphs. I dont treat your master as a slave!

H, help our friendly adventurer and complete the revelation.

Revelation?

The old nymph climbed up on a platform that looked like an altar. As he spread his arms, countless fireflies flocked to the stone slab above the altar. The firefly soon became words.

Look forward to it?

Isaac raised an eyebrow at Henrys words.

High-ranking aristocratic children like Henry and Isaac were able to read some of the words, because interpreting the bible in ancient language was part of their education.

When the time is uh, when the time comes, will you protect the water?

Servant of God, sleep in the tears of God until the hour of revelation comes.

The old nymph was overjoyed as I muttered blankly while reading ancient languages.

The time of revelation comes, an adventurer appears. Ooh, we were asleep. The adventurer woke us up!

In the tears of God

I looked at the nymphs with a stiff face.

Its strange when I think about it. They said nymphs live in water, but how can they live anywhere other than water?

Everything on this mountain is the tears of God.

[With the help of the pure soul, the young warrior captured the tears of God, the source of Suwon.]

Suwon

We can purify everything in this mountain with the tears of God. Before, a bad adventurer tricked us. So our tears of God are given to the bad men!

The old nymph bought something from the altar.

My master, adventurer, let me see him. My lord, the pillar!

The pillar?

I looked at what he had brought,my heart throbbed. I raised my hand as soon as I saw it. Its

Devils passage!

I said in delight.

Then Henry and Isaac approached me and asked,

Whats wrong?

Leblaine.

Henry, Isaac.

I called them as the two looked at me with nervous faces.

I must have won the third lottery

Were going to have a lot of money!

What?

Huh?

I grabbed the mineral that the old nymph gave me.

Now, what kind of devil will be called out this time?
