The Prince Wants To Retire

2. contract (2)

Kariel’s expression hardened slightly at the sudden voice.

He immediately looked around as he saw the strangely stiffened body.

‘Is it a curse?’

A strange sense of heterogeneity in his voice.

‘Even if it’s sealed, it has such a presence… … .’

Kariel looked at the cursed weapons with a serious expression.

Weapons sealed by wizards.

Among them, the dangerous ones were double-blocking the curse by hanging barriers in the storage box along with self-sealing.

Nevertheless, the leaking curses were enough to threaten Kariel.

– Let’s make a contract! Let’s contract! contract! contract with me! with me!

I felt like I was getting more and more confused by the constant voice, but I soon regained my senses.

There were countless times of jjambab in my previous life, but it was unacceptable for me to be distracted like this.

As Kariel came to her senses and stepped forward, other curses approached.

The ones who threaten you by stiffening your body.

Those who openly curse and ask for a contract.

Those who sneakily approach while pretending to be pitiful.

Just whining bastards.

Countless cursed weapons flew towards Kariel.

It was a time when there were so many curses that it was difficult to handle with the jjambab cooked in the previous life.

[The blood system ability is partially awakened by the curse.]

[Awakening of the blood system ability causes the fragments of the Demon God of Destruction to react.]

[The first trial hidden by God begins.]

“… … What?”

After not being seen for a while, Kariel’s expression hardened at the sudden opening of the translucent window.

And at that moment, the firearms that had been suppressed with drugs began to wander all over the body.

“Such crazy… … .”

Kariel swears involuntarily and gets down on one knee.

A lot of firearms that Kariel’s frail body couldn’t handle had now escaped from her body and started to be tangible.

When the firearms suddenly started rampaging, he suffered tremendous pain, but it was not only bad.

“The curse… … disappeared?”

A pure flame that burns even curses.

Kariel was surprised for a moment by the fire that burned and purged all trivial things, but he soon endured the pain and stood up.

It was to achieve the purpose of coming here.

All the miscellaneous curses have been purged, and only the very dangerous ones are left.

– That’s a pretty good vibe. make a contract with me I will make you a master!

-no! That kid has to sign a contract with me. In the name of the Fire Witch, I will make you the best mage! contract with me!

A witch’s hat sealed with all kinds of magic tools.

A jet-black sword that looks dangerous just by looking at it.

The two cursed weapons have been tempting Kariel.

But Kariel just frowned and walked forward.

Then, the cursed arms started talking to them while sulking.

“go away.”

Kariel walked away while saying that to them.

Why did he feel sorry for himself, who once even became an emperor, to sign a contract with such people?

master? mage? Even without that, their temptation was trivial because he was the one who had risen to the highest position.

Above all, they couldn’t fulfill what Kariel wanted the most.

“Things like crap.”

I knew it well because I had already tried to recover my body through the cursed weapon in my previous life.

Even if they contracted with them, the congenital disease caused by the fire inside the body could not be cured.

That is why, despite all kinds of temptations, I was able to walk towards my goal.

[Fragments of Surt]

A necklace that is said to contain some of the power of Surt, the master of Muspel.

Just getting closer, I could feel the terrible energy.

It was a curse so powerful that the mass of fire that purifies all the curses was blackened.

“… … Is it worth the name?”

The weapons stored in the deepest part of this room, where only weapons cursed due to danger are collected.

One of them was a fragment of Surt.

Kariel, who radiated a powerful curse befitting the innermost weapon and put her hand on the necklace despite being pushed away.

At that moment, Kariel felt dizzy and stumbled.

“Kuk!”

Kariel got down on one knee in a panic when her head suddenly felt dizzy and she was about to lose consciousness.

At that moment, blue flames gushed from the necklace and began to gather in front of Kariel.

-It’s the beginning of the fire… … .

The rising flame changed into a human form and quietly looked at Kariel.

Weak, weak flame.

The primordial fire felt like a dust hidden within.

But quantity didn’t matter.

It was important to feel the fire of the beginning, even if it was only a speck of dust.

-Did the fire of ‘him’ lead to the ability of the blood system? That’s too much.

The weakly continued fire remained, at least in the form of embers.

He clicked his tongue because it was a power too precious to be in a body like garbage.

– tt! It’s a pity, it’s a pity

Even though it was only a speck of strength, he couldn’t handle it and looked at Kariel pathetic.

Seeing Surt looking at him pathetic, Kariel distorted his expression.

“Isn’t that the same with you? Who do you rate on a subject that is not even half the class?”

Cariel said to him, enduring the pain.

Then Surt was silent.

-… … That’s right. I’m not in a position to judge anyone.

Surt readily admits it.

At one time, it was a being that would destroy even the world, but now it is a pitiful existence that lives parasitically on fragments of power.

Just by being typed like this now, the class was being cut in real time.

It was sealed in a necklace for a long time, and even the soul collapsed because it was not worth it.

That’s why he was just a degenerated being that it would be a pity to even call him a fragment of Surt.

– But wouldn’t it be better than something insignificant like you?

“dog sound. Do you dare to compare it to me who lives and breathes on the subject of a ghost?”

-Even if it was a ghost, it was once famous… … .

“Anyway, it’s a specter.”

At Kariel’s words, Surtur glared at him.

Then, Kariel also glared at him without losing.

They stared at each other as if rays were coming out of their eyes, then turned their heads and fell silent for a moment.

-Is it God’s trick? You’ve come to sign a contract with me.

“… … What?”

Kariel looked at him with a surprised expression at what Surt’s fragment said.

-Have you been attacked by God too?

“no way… … you also?”

When Kariel asked with a puzzled look at his words, Surtur nodded.

Then they smiled indifferently at each other who had been staring at each other until recently.

Then he started to gossip about God.

-x Same bastard.

“right. They cheated until the very end.”

-All gods are like that. Especially Loki that bastard was a hit.

“ah! Loki is famous.”

When Kariel answered as if he knew about Loki, Surt recited what he remembered.

Odin was also trash, and he explained how trash the high-ranking gods were at that time, stating that even though the giants looked rough, they were soft if you knew them.

“By the way, what is that ‘god’? I think you know what you’re talking about.”

Surt tried to say something in response to Kariel’s question, but then shut it down.

I want to say something, but it looks like there are restrictions.

Seeing that, Kariel didn’t ask any more questions, he just looked at him quietly.

Then, with a frustrated expression, Surt scratched his fluttering hair as if on fire.

– tt! Just know it’s a bastard like ×. I don’t even need to know the identity of that bastard.

“but… … Now, what’s the point of being a bastard like that?”

As Kariel said that, he shook his head and looked at Surt.

“… … So are you going to sign a contract?”

Surt was silent at his question.

“Why don’t you like me because I’m weak?”

-Who am I in a position to cover? You are great.

Surt said that and said that it was nice to meet someone he liked after a long time.

“Then what is the problem?”

– If you contract with me, you will die.

At his words, Kariel’s brow furrowed.

“What are you talking about?”

-If you sign a contract with me in your current condition, you will die.

It is the original fire that has faded with each passing generation and hardly remains, but as long as there is even a little bit left, it will burn again someday.

In Surt’s view, the level of the primordial fire was too high for Kariel to handle.

“Did God say you could overcome this goddamn firearm?”

-… … That’s right. In the long run, no, as long as you get past the contract signing moment, I might be able to control the firearm to some extent.

Surt shook his head as if Kariel was right, but he made a sad face.

-But you can’t help it because the moment you sign a contract with me, there’s a high possibility that you’ll lose.

“Is there any way to get past that moment?”

At that, Surt asked if he knew about the contract.

Then, Kariel answered that she knew to some extent, citing the spirit contract as an example.

-Then it should be easy to explain. When making a contract with a spirit contract or summoned beast, the mana of the contractor is temporarily increased.

“Yes, the summoner and summoner resonate and mana amplifies… … huh? no way?”

-right. amplification of fire.

Surt’s words gave Kariel an expression of incomprehension.

“Amplification would be only a little bit, right?”

-Your body is so trash that it can’t stand that.

Kariel frowned when Surt assaulted him as if he were digging his chest.

I was able to realize once again how trashy my body was.

“… … Then, to what extent will it be possible if the body recovers?”

-maybe? But is it possible?

Surt looked at Kariel and shook his head as if it seemed hopeless.

“There is one way.”

Saying so, Kariel explained Werewolf’s rigid body technique.

Then Surt tilted his head as if he did not understand.

Because he was a strong man, he was less interested in the lower races, but because he was sealed for a long time in the first place, he did not know much about the outside world.

“Anyway, is there any possibility?”

Cariel muttered like that and got up from his seat.

It was enough just to see the possibility.

In the first place, the relics of mythical beings were found much faster than expected, so that alone was beneficial.

-… … are you going

Surt looked at Kariel with eyes that were dripping with regret.

“It will come soon.”

– Puck.

Surt took a deep breath as he looked at Kariel’s meager body.

Then Kariel said, grinding his teeth.

“Wait because it will be here soon.”

Saying so, Kariel was about to leave the report of the cursed warriors.

Then the blue fireballs illuminated the surroundings, making a way for Kariel to go out.

– Come quickly. Bored.

Surt’s voice came from afar.

Hearing this, Kariel turned his head and nodded slightly and went out to report.

“majesty.”

As we entered the second hall, the shadow who had been watching the second hall hurriedly approached us, whether we were worried.

“I have to go report. Support it.”

“Yes.”

With the help of the shadows, they passed through the 2nd building and arrived at the gate of the imperial palace treasury.

“I’m sorry, but I can only carry my convictions this far.”

“Good work.”

Kariel, who said good work to the shadow, stumbled out the door alone. Then Tarion, who saw that, hurriedly supported him.

“Your Highness, are you okay?”

“it’s okay.”

As Kariel was being supported by Tarion, the eunuch who managed the palace treasury stood next to him restlessly.

According to the regulations, even the crown prince had to check whether he had brought anything with him when he left the palace report.

This is because, if you have any, you have to check if the equipment can be rented.

“Look around. I didn’t bring anything… … .”

“So, I’m sorry.”

The insider glanced over Kariel’s body with his trembling hands, then bowed his head and hurriedly backed away.

Then Kariel said to Tharion.

“Are there any watchers around?”

“There is, but it is far away.”

Cariel nodded his head in response to Tarion’s answer, and said in a voice as low as possible.

“I know you are busy, but I have something to ask you.”

“Say it.”

“Ancient Werewolves, bring all the information about them. Make this work as confidential as possible. know?”

To Kariel’s words, Tarion responded with a smile.

“Yes!”
