#6 Dreaming Again
Daisy was thinking about old times while standing next to the bed where Lansen was lying.
Back when Lansen was still healthy.
Those big, broad shoulders that always protected them.
At that time, Lansen was the strongest man in the world and Daisy’s greatest pride.
That’s why.
It was painful to watch his back become so weak and shabby.
Seeing him struggle to protect himself while secretly spitting out blood every night… … It’s so shameless that I want to die.
The reason my heart is shattered by the sight of Lancen even breaking his pride for their own sake.
But, in the end, the thing I hate the most is…
The sight of Lansen lying as if dead.
When I see Lansen breathing shallowly as if he is about to die,
Daisy’s little universe seemed to be falling apart.
“No… …! I could only drink half of it!”
Brother… … ?
Daisy straightened up suddenly.
It was Lansen’s voice.
Daisy quickly leaned over the bed.
I looked into Lansen’s eyes with both of my own.
His blurry eyes gradually came into focus.
Daisy poured out her words.
“Hey, you’re awake…? What happened! What the heck! Why did you suddenly disappear? Why are you covered in blood!”
Lansen looked puzzled.
I stared blankly at Daisy.
“… … What, why are you looking at me like that?”
As the silence grew longer, Daisy glanced at Lansen, feeling burdened by his gaze.
Lansen asked.
“Did you just call me oppa?”
Daisy’s face lit up.
“What, what are you talking about? When did I?”
But Lansen stared at Daisy’s face without changing his expression, then suddenly asked again.
“You cried?”
“What, what?”
“Your eyes are red and your cheeks are swollen… … I guess this guy is really worried?”
“!!!”
Crazy, I guess I’m crazy!
But no words of denial came out of his mouth.
“What, why!”
Then Lansen just stared at Daisy’s face again.
“Ah! Why do you keep looking at me strangely?”
“Just trying to remember this moment.”
“memory?”
“Yeah. You look really ugly when you cry.”
There was silence for a moment.
Swish- swish-
Slowly. Daisy wiped her eyes and straightened her messy hair, and soon became frighteningly calm.
Hurrah!
A red flame bloomed in her eyes.
It was proof that he was a noble of the Banroa Kingdom.
When emotions become intense, a naturalization blooms deep within the pupils, a characteristic of the royalty and nobles of Banroa.
You wouldn’t know unless you looked closely, but it was still a bit noticeable in dark places.
Daisy smiled brightly, her pupils burning.
“Can you say that again?”
“… … .”
Lansen, sensing ominousness, quickly turned his gaze away.
“Hey! Say it again!”
Daisy rushed at me like a demon.
Lansen quickly crouched down and groaned.
“Ouch, oh, oh, oh… I’m dying. I’m dying… … .”
Daisy, who was just rushing in, stopped in her tracks.
The fingertips that were sharply erected are now at a loss and just wave their hands in the air.
“Ugh… … .”
Lansen burst into laughter at the sight.
He laughed, shaking his shoulders.
“you……!”
Hurrah!
Daisy’s eyes burned twice as brightly as before.
“hey!!!!”
“Hey, I’m speaking informally… … .”
“I was so worried!!”
“I know. Thanks. Daisy.”
Lanshen ruffled Daisy’s hair.
He looked happy.
In fact, it had been a long time since Daisy and Lancun had pulled such a silly prank.
Isn’t this the first time since Lansen lost his limbs three years ago?
Daisy forgot her anger for a moment and became dazed.
I held my breath, wanting to talk to Lansen some more… … .
“Uh… … La?”
Lansen suddenly staggered.
“Brother!”
As I grabbed hold of her body, I felt a warm sensation.
Lansen’s body boiled like a furnace.
“Ugh… … .”
He curls up as if he is in severe pain.
“Brother!”
Tears welled up again from Daisy’s eyes, which had been clammy and dry.
Lansen raised his shaking hand and slowly stroked Daisy’s hair.
Daisy reflexively met his eyes and flinched.
“Brother… … ?”
It was bizarre.
Lansen’s face was distorted in pain,
Both eyes were filled with joy.
madness……?
Daisy was afraid that there was something seriously wrong with Lancun.
Then Lansen said.
“Daisy. This seems to be working.”
“what?”
“It is said that the medicine is effective.”
“What does that mean?”
Lanshen spoke in a tone of excitement that Daisy could not understand.
“I feel it.”
“My hands and feet are itchy.”
“It’s fresh.”
“It’s coming back to life.”
… … Brother?
Are you crazy?
Lansen’s nonsense never stopped.
“I thought it would be lacking if I only had one sip… … ?”
“That was enough.”
“It wasn’t a dream… … It was real.”
Oppa, why are you like that… … .
“What do you mean?!”
At that moment, Lansen grabbed Daisy’s shoulder with his hot hands.
“Daisy, listen carefully. You don’t have to worry anymore.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You don’t have to think about protecting our family.”
“Why, why are you suddenly talking about that… …!”
Daisy, startled, stared at Lanzen.
“Did you know?”
“I know what’s in your head. It’s just a little thing.”
“no……!”
“Anyway, you don’t have to worry about anything anymore.”
“Huh… …? Huh? Oppa. The light… … .”
At some point, a brilliant light began to burn across Lansen’s body.
Daisy didn’t know.
Elixir of life.
An ancient miracle that has long been forgotten and cannot be reproduced by current magic.
That it is manifested in this place.
Swaaaah-
A bright, burning halo of light seeped into Lansen’s right hand, left leg, and lower abdomen.
Grains of light that shine brilliantly and take shape.
“Huh? Huh… … ?”
Daisy’s pupils dilated.
Swish.
Because Lansen’s right hand, which had been cut off and empty, was pushing through the blanket and stroking Daisy’s head.
Because my left leg, which had been empty and emptied, was reborn in a halo of light.
“Oppa, how’s your body…?”
“Yeah. I’m back.”
Daisy’s eyes opened wide.
That smile.
The confident smile hanging on Lansen’s lips… …was a precious sight she had so desperately wanted to recapture.
With that alone, Daisy felt like she had the whole world.
Lansen.
Her older brother, who seemed like he could overcome the whole world, has returned.
“Don’t worry about anything anymore.”
Slap.
“Oppa? Oppa!!”
Lansen fainted again.
With a pleasant smile hanging from his lips.
* * *
Blink.
When I woke up, the sun had already set and it was getting dark.
“How much time has passed…?”
When I asked reflexively, I heard the gruff answer from Mr. Burson.
“It hasn’t even been a day yet. It happened this morning… … . It’s now.”
aha,
I looked around slowly.
“… … Everyone is gathered?”
I was surrounded by family members.
Now there is only one knight left, Burson.
And the younger siblings who escaped together from the Kingdom of Banroa, Daisy, Mika, Geppetto, Asha, Salzlan, and Sea.
The last descendants of the Kingdom of Banroa have gathered here, except for the five younger siblings who have set out on a journey to find a new base.
It’s been a long time since we’ve all gathered like this.
As the kids have grown up, everyone has been busy these days, each taking on their own tasks.
“It’s real. My hands and feet are moving now.”
Someone spoke in a choked voice.
“A miracle… … It’s a miracle… … It’s a miracle!”
Mr. Burson suddenly began to sob.
I also looked down at my hands and feet again.
Instead of prosthetic limbs, I could see my real hands and feet.
I smiled broadly and clenched and unclenched my right fist and wiggled my left foot in front of them.
And the auror core below the navel… … .
“The core has also been restored. The scattered auras will need to be gathered again.”
Let me just say something like that.
“brother!”
“Brother!”
The children rushed over.
“Wha! Whoa! Wait!”
It was different when the little kids ran towards me.
It feels like a flock of chicks… … but now the only people here are fully grown adults and teenagers who are growing up.
It was like the pressure of a herd of buffalo charging at me.
But the smile didn’t disappear from his lips.
After a brief period of intense discord.
Burson asked, adjusting his disheveled shirt and tie.
“What the hell happened to Lansen?”
“I drank the elixir.”
“Elixir? That thing that costs over 50,000 dollars for just one sip?”
Crowds of people.
Yeah. What more could I say?
Let me show you.
I said, getting up from the bed.
“Um, wait a minute. Before that, there’s something I want to check, so everyone, follow me.”
“Okay? What?”
“Let’s talk on the way.”
I stepped onto the ground with my new left foot.
Self-care-
Ahhh… … This is touching.
It felt like I was walking on the ground with my own flesh and blood, rather than the dull, pressure-filled feeling of a prosthetic leg.
This feeling proves it.
The fact that I really went back 10,000 years and drank the elixir.
‘I think it might require rehabilitation though.’
My steps are still a little awkward.
I walked carefully and put on my coat.
A small wooden box that can be felt in her arms.
The elixir that was in the box was no longer there, but the gray key next to it was still there.
‘If it’s a key found in an ancient dungeon… … it has to be that one.’
I know this well, having heard stories like this many times while working under Count Ksias.
“Where are you going?”
Woorur-
The place we headed to was, of course, the Ilneon Dungeon.
The dungeon I always saw felt unfamiliar today.
I clearly remember it looking shiny and new, but now it is dilapidated and covered in dust.
Thud thud thud thud.
I went deep into the dungeon and stopped in a room with an altar.
Memories come flooding back vividly.
‘There was definitely an elixir placed up there.’
And the security behind it was particularly tight.
Why was the security so tight?
I was going to check that out from now on.
‘The key found in the ancient ruins… … is the key to open the secret space!’
I opened the wooden box.
The gray key is there.
‘also.’
The key was making a faint resonance, as if my guess was correct.
I slowly approached the wall.
“Lansen. What the hell is going on?”
Burson asked what everyone was curious about.
Instead of answering, I picked up the key and stuck it in the wall.
Hwaaaaak!
A magic circle that rises like wildfire through the wall in an instant.
The dungeon, which had been filled with only a faint light like fog, became as bright as day.
Heart pounding.
In the bright light, the faces of people who had lost their minds were reflected.
“What, what is this… … .”
A ray of light burning in the air.
The magic circle, which had been growing increasingly complex layer by layer, eventually took the shape of a door.
Click!
The moment I turn the key,
The magic circle split left and right with a clear sound.
Grrrrr!
A whole wall of the dungeon opened with a loud noise.
Thump thump.
My heart started pounding like crazy.
“… … Secret space?”
It was an awe-inspiring sight.
A secret place that had been hidden for 10,000 years unfolds before your eyes.
By some magic, the space beyond the wide-open wall was still brightly lit even after ten thousand years, and the treasures sparkled as if they were new.
Gold coins piled in each box.
Three swords.
Black armor made of thin metal.
A familiar necklace.
Burson looked at the pile of gold coins with a blank expression and then stuck out his tongue.
“This… … would be worth 5,000 dollars in gold alone?”
Since 1 Dallon is 10g of gold, 5,000 Dallon would be equivalent to 50kg in gold alone.
Asha, who has been working hard to help manage the business these days, chimed in.
“Mr. Burson. That’s not the problem. These are all ancient relics. Ancient swords. Ancient armor… …! That necklace is a magical tool! My goodness… …. Are you asking for something like this?”
Random exclamations of admiration poured in from all sides.
Everyone looked at the treasure as if they were possessed for a while, then all turned to look at me.
“Brother! What happened?”
“That’s right. The sudden regeneration of limbs is also… … This is also… … .”
I laughed.
I couldn’t stop laughing.
“I visited this place 10,000 years ago.”
“What?!”
Everyone looks like they’re wondering what that means.
Actually, I still don’t believe it… … .
Bam.
When I touch my chest, it feels like a hard book.
If the power of this relic is not a one-time thing.
If you could go back in time again and again?
Oh my goosebumps are coming.
‘You can achieve anything.’
Whether to rebuild the kingdom of Banroa,
Just forget everything and live happily and safely with our family.
Anything.
But before that… …there is something I have to do first.
Actually, I thought about it a lot,
The treasures I’ve just discovered have helped me strengthen my resolve.
“Hey guys.”
“huh?”
“We. Count Ksias. Let’s get rid of it.”
“What?!”
This time, everyone’s mouths fell open.
