episode_0229

Two days passed.

Ellasein was satisfied with her stay at the inn.

The Silver Forest next to the city was the most comfortable, but this inn wasn’t bad either.

The summit will begin in a few more days.

There was no point in wandering around the streets, so she observed the half-blood Barbaroi.

It wasn’t that she moved to see him on purpose.

He was just within her sight.

Even though the deadline was approaching, the half-blood Barbaroi’s life remained unchanged.

‘Isn’t he in a hurry?’

The black-haired guy woke up early in the morning, went out into the yard, and trained.

He lightly warmed up, ran around the yard, and then,

He swung his sword non-stop until dawn broke, then stopped.

She knew nothing about swords.

She had no interest in what kind of life this man lived.

However.

Didn’t they say you can tell ten things from one?

Watching him move with familiar posture and without losing his composure, she realized.

‘He’s training without a day’s rest.’

Even though he should be resting comfortably before a big event, he never stopped.

She leaned against the 2nd floor window, watching the black-haired guy, and quickly turned her head.

It was because she accidentally saw him taking off his top.

She wasn’t caught, but her face was burning.

However, the muscular body that had caught her eye remained in her mind and stuck there.

As she was spending time like that.

The end of the bet was approaching.

‘Today’s the day.’

Ellasein suppressed the corners of her mouth from rising. Attendants were watching. She had to maintain her dignity as a queen.

Bendrick was busy with something, so he dressed up and went out into the streets again.

Ingrid left for the Silver Forest for the final coordination of opinions. She knew that Ingrid’s daughter had also been staying in the Silver Forest for the past few days.

Now, the last day.

However, the Barbaroi guy sat at the counter all day with his one-edged sword in his arms, muttering something with his eyes closed.

Except for the occasional twitching of his body, as if he were meditating separately, he really seemed detached from the world.

‘That’s strange.’

However.

No matter how strange it was, a bet was a bet.

She had already summoned her attendant last night and ordered them.

To prepare a leather collar.

Ellasein returned to her room and opened the box.

A leather collar made of soft material caught her eye.

She closed the box again and looked out the window.

She had lived a long time, but.

Today, time felt especially long.

Finally, the sun set and the stars appeared.

Ellasein sent all her attendants out and remained alone in the room.

The attendant said that the Barbaroi guy had left the inn for a while and disappeared somewhere.

‘It’s no use.’

She didn’t know what his intentions were, but she didn’t think it would work on her.

Knock knock.

A knock was heard.

Ellasein smiled triumphantly.

“Your Majesty, it’s Ska.”

“Come in.”

“Yes.”

Creak.

The black-haired man came in. His face was slightly red, as if he had just hurriedly returned from outside, and he was wearing a coat.

He must have left the one-edged sword he always wore at his waist behind, as his hands were empty.

‘As expected.’

He didn’t bring anything.

“Sit down.”

Ellasein pointed to the opposite side of the table.

“Yes… yes.”

The Barbaroi guy carefully sat down, avoiding eye contact.

Ellasein was certain.

He can’t make eye contact?

It was as good as admitting defeat in the bet already.

She brushed away the lingering hesitation in her heart and opened the box.

Creak.

Inside the box was a brown leather collar.

The Barbaroi guy’s eyes widened.

The fact that the man who had been acting calmly until now was flustered.

A strange pleasure tingled up her spine.

“Wear it.”

“···Yes?”

The Barbaroi guy asked back.

“Put on the collar, then kneel and lick my feet.”

“…”

The black-haired man closed his mouth and slowly picked up the collar.

As a strange heat rose from her lower abdomen, Ellasein quickly crossed her legs.

“Why should I wear this collar?”

The black-haired man’s question.

Ellasein’s beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

Could it be that he still doesn’t understand the situation properly?

“Because you lost the bet.”

“…”

“If you lose the bet, you have to wear this collar and lick the Queen’s feet?”

“That’s right.”

The Barbaroi looked down at the collar in his hand and smiled.

“Ha!”

A ridiculous laugh. Ellasein’s expression hardened.

What is it.

What is that smile?

“Unfortunately, Your Majesty.”

The Barbaroi guy replied with a bitter smile.

“···What does that mean?”

Without answering, the Barbaroi took out a small bottle from his pocket.

It was full of a white liquid.

“I got it. Half-incubus fluid.”

Ellasein’s eyes widened.

What?

He’s saying he got the half-incubus fluid, which even Astaroth had difficulty getting, in just 3 days?

No.

That’s not half-incubus fluid.

It’s something else.

“Are you trying to deceive me?”

“Check it out.”

Ellasein gritted her teeth and called the attendant who was waiting outside.

A female elf in a robe came in, placed her hand on the bottle, and mumbled something.

“Y-yes, that’s right. It’s half-incubus seed!”

The elf in the robe shouted.

Gritting!!!

Ellasein gritted her teeth and glared at the Barbaroi.

“Get out.”

The elf in the robe hurriedly ran out of the room.

Creak.

Thud.

The door closed.

Only Ryu Shin and the elf queen Ellasein remained in the room.

“What do you want?”

“What I want.”

Ryu Shin mumbled, fiddling with the leather collar.

“Speak quickly. I’ve already promised on my honor!”

Ryu Shin jumped up from his seat and approached Ellasein.

Ellasein instinctively flinched.

What is he trying to do?

Click.

The clasp of the leather collar came undone.

Ellasein’s breathing gradually became more labored.

No way.

It can’t be.

It won’t be.

“Your Majesty, don’t tremble and stay still. Stick your neck out. Yes. Good.”

The Barbaroi approached with a villainous smile.

Deep anger and shame surged up from her stomach.

How dare.

A human who hasn’t even lived half of her life.

How dare he put a leather collar on her, the owner of the noble Five Tree Clan and a high elf?!

And a collar that is used when snuggling in the owner’s arms and acting cute!

Raging emotions and a tightening heart.

In between, a strange emotion she had never felt before bloomed.

A sense of desperation as if hanging from the edge of a cliff and begging for salvation?

Similar but.

No.

It was a feeling that her fate was entirely entrusted to the other person’s hands.

She was scared and flustered.

‘Scared?’

What exactly?

Ellasein stopped thinking. Her mind went blank.

The leather collar was already in front of her eyes.

Ellasein’s breath became rough and hot.

Ryu Shin stopped.

‘She’s too scared?’

Getting the half-incubus fluid was a piece of cake.

Because he could just extract his own fluid.

The problem was what to put it in?

He finished basic training and sat at the counter, pondering.

‘Put in semen. It’s the best of the bodily fluids. The other party is a queen. If you’re going to give it anyway, it’s right to give the best.’

Beatrice strongly demanded.

That’s a bit.

He originally intended to put in blood, but he reluctantly decided to put in semen because of Beatrice’s strong insistence.

He felt a sense of aversion, but he believed that Beatrice had a reason for saying it strongly.

The process after that was simple.

Even if he was just trying to hide the truth, he couldn’t grab his cock and shake it at the inn, so he went to a secluded alley corner, lowered his pants, and shook it vigorously.

Feeling like a pervert, he filled the bottle with baby seed and brought it to Ellasein.

But.

When he saw the leather collar that Ellasein showed, he felt resentful.

He got angry and tried to put on the collar, but he stopped when he saw Ellasein’s teary eyes.

He should stop here.

“Just kidding. Your Majesty.”

“···What?”

Ellasein stared blankly at Ryu Shin and bit her lip.

“Heh! You win. Barbaroi, I lost. What do you want?”

Ryu Shin put the leather collar back on the table.

“Um, by any chance.”

Ryu Shin hesitated for a moment.

Ellasein stared at the Barbaroi with calmed eyes.

After a while.

Ryu Shin opened his mouth.

“Do you… have something like a magic bag? Something that can hold a lot of things?”

The strength drained from Ellasein’s body.

“…”

An unexpected request.

She didn’t know what this man was thinking at all.

Ellasein avoided the Barbaroi’s eyes and pondered deeply.

Since she had already decided to give it, she decided to bestow a good item.

Just because she lost the bet, she couldn’t give him a worthless item. She couldn’t allow herself to do that.

Besides, it’s the half-incubus seed that’s so hard to get.

‘The best for the best.’

Ellasein, who had made up her mind, opened her mouth.

“Ska, it’s not a backpack, but I have something similar.”

Something similar.

“Does it hold a lot?”

“I don’t think you’ll feel like the capacity is insufficient. The shape is a bit of a problem, though.”

Shape?

It’s not like he’s going to a fashion show.

As long as it holds a lot, it’s all good.

Ryu Shin immediately nodded.

“I don’t care about the shape.”

“I understand.”

Ellasein called the attendant.

“Bring that ‘coffin’.”

“···I understand.”

The attendant was silent for a moment, then immediately went outside.

Coffin?

Isn’t that what you use to put corpses in?

“Coffin? What do you mean?”

“You’ll see when you see it.”

After a while.

The attendant brought a small box.

Ellasein opened the box placed on the table.

A small ring was visible.

“Your Majesty, is this perhaps a magical tool?”

“That’s right. It will sting a little when you put it on for the first time. That’s because it becomes bound to the user through blood.”

Ryu Shin put the ring on his hand.

As Ellasein said, his finger stung for a moment, and then the ring turned gold.

Ellasein stood up from her seat.

“I’ll have to test it in the yard. Go ahead and wait. I have to change my clothes.”

“Yes.”

Ryu Shin came out to the yard and waited for a while, looking at the ring.

Ellasein, dressed in white cloth, came out and stood next to Ryu Shin.

“Ska, why are you standing there blankly? It should be working by now?”

As soon as Ellasein finished speaking.

Ryu Shin’s head throbbed.

Immediately, the usage information of the ring rushed into his head.

It was similar to when he got the Zweihander in the swamp area.

“Summon it.”

Following Ellasein’s words, Ryu Shin raised his hand.

With a strong will, he shouted inwardly.

Come out.

[Eternal Ark]

A flash of light flickered in the air.

A golden coffin appeared.

The size was enough for a robust Barbaroi to enter.

When stood up, there was a huge spike at the bottom of the coffin.

It looked like it could be fixed firmly if it was stuck in the ground.

Thud!!!

The coffin created from the air landed on the ground.

“The capacity and color of the coffin vary depending on the user’s magic power and wavelength. Golden. Did you perhaps receive the blessing of the Earth Mother?”

“Yes.”

“I see. There are a few things to keep in mind. You can’t put living things inside the coffin. And although this coffin is sturdy, once it’s broken, all the items inside will be lost. Of course, the coffin will recover on its own after a certain amount of time.”

“I see.”

“If you have enough magic power, you can summon the coffin from anywhere. And the coffin spreads a blessing that increases strength, stamina, magic power, and reflexes. The range is proportional to the user’s magic power.”

Ryu Shin was at a loss for words.

“…”

This is no joke?

Isn’t this a cheat item?

An inventory that can be summoned from anywhere, with a space that expands depending on the total amount of magic power, and even acts as a totem that spreads buffs around it.

‘It’s good to be alive.’

Finally, the day of seeing the light exists.

Ryu Shin smiled brightly and opened the coffin.

Rumble.

The inside of the coffin was filled with bright light.

“C-can I put items in here one by one?”

“That’s right. I don’t know how much will fit, but at least as much as this inn’s room will fit.”

“Phew.”

That’s enough.

In order to explore the dungeon deeper, he needs a lot of things, from food to firewood, torches, various potions, and sleeping bags.

Replenishing supplies is possible on the 10th floor of the dungeon, but he has to dispose of the loot at a low price.

Even if he replenishes supplies, he always worried about inventory pressure, but he never thought things would work out so well.

Ryu Shin turned around and looked at Ellasein.

Why does she look so pretty?

He wants to give her a kiss.

Ellasein blushed and stepped back.

“H-how dare you! Don’t look at me like that. I lost the bet, so I have to listen. This coffin is one of the royal family’s treasures. I’ll come back to collect it when you die, so take good care of it.”

“Yes!”

At that moment.

One of the guards hurriedly ran into the yard.

“Y-Your Majesty!”

“What’s wrong?”

“The dwarves have arrived in the city!”

“Already?”

“But instead of the king, the king’s chancellor came with the delegation! A-and that delegation···.”

“Keep talking.”

The guard stuttered several times, perhaps because he was so flustered.

“I-in the dwarven delegation, there’s a man who claims to be the empire’s crown prince!”

“…”

Silence passed momentarily.

The empire’s crown prince?

Just then, a murmuring sound was heard from inside the inn.

The chaotic atmosphere seemed to be spreading from the kitchen to the yard.

Ellasein calmly replied.

“Where is that human claiming to be the crown prince now?”

“H-he’s already followed the dwarven delegation into the inn.”

“Let’s go.”

Ellasein hardened her expression and moved her feet.

Ryu Shin scratched his head.

The chancellor who came instead of the dwarven king.

If it’s the chancellor, he’s the kingdom’s second-in-command.

What happened?

And the empire’s crown prince suddenly appeared.

‘I don’t know what’s going on.’

Anyway.

How do I unsummon this coffin?

Even if he repeats the information that came into his head, there was no way to put the golden coffin back in.

In a hurry, Ryu Shin shouldered the coffin and went inside the inn.

“Let’s go together!”
