Chapter 9
Translator: True Detective
Chapter 9. If You Call, I Must Go
“…What. Is this?”
After I returned from dealing with Bachra, called the Demonic Man among the Seven Wild Monsters, Grand Duke Gayrad handed me something.
“Take it. It will be quite useful. Do not worry about the price. I just thought the reward last time was lacking. Along with that, it is an investment.”
Along with that, something handed over by a servant of the Grand Ducal House.
What was contained in the box was a bottle of white liquid that looked thick no matter who looked at it.
“That liquid, it is quite precious. In the place where cold winds and blizzards rage. It is the essence of Snowflake Goats that roam freely on the cliffs of the Frost Mountain Range, a mountain range in the North of the Empire.”
“…Essence. You say?”
“That is right. It is an essence made by thoroughly boiling down the bones and meat of Snowflake Goats. It will be enough to establish the framework of the Young Lady’s slender body.”
“Thank you.”
Elise immediately bowed her head.
To think it is such a precious essence.
It seems the taste will be somewhat bitter, but what does it matter.
I must supplement my lacking muscles with this.
‘It would be good if there was something useful for internal energy too.’
Elise quietly expected, but Grand Duke Gayrad did not prepare more boxes.
As if noticing Elise’s mind, Grand Duke Gayrad added one word.
“I will give a spiritual medicine enough to supplement mana if the Young Lady establishes new merit. Looking at the Young Lady’s body, I thought muscles, which are the foundation, come first. That does not mean it doesn’t help with supplementing mana. Use it usefully.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
“This much. If you showed possibility, I should support you. Furthermore, if that possibility is quite bright, even more so. Right….”
Grand Duke Gayrad asked Elise.
“Seven Wild Monsters…. You met the Demonic Man Bachra among them, I hear.”
“That is correct.”
When Elise nodded, Grand Duke Gayrad chuckled.
“Is that so. How was it? Was it worth dealing with?”
“It was amazing. I received his fist and flew quite far.”
“Heh. Do you know what another nickname of the Demonic Man Bachra is.”
He rested his chin on his hand and muttered.
“Siege Weapon. Or Ballista. He is called that. Because it is said that the moment Bachra puts mana into his fist, even the proud wall of our North shakes. Moreover, it is not a lie either.”
A name floating among the warriors of the North.
Demonic Man Bachra.
Or Ballista Bachra.
His artillery shell-like fist was quite deeply notorious.
To stand so perfectly fine even after being hit by the fist of such a person.
Grand Duke Gayrad was admiring this slender Young Lady in front of his eyes.
“Amazing. Truly amazing. However.”
His words suddenly stopped.
His brows narrow.
“I am not the only one who knows that greatness. The news that Nagagor was beaten badly has already spread not only to the Seven Wild Monsters but also to the barbarians.”
Grand Duke Gayrad was deeply worried about the Young Lady in front of his eyes.
To be exact, what he was worried about was exactly.
“All the barbarians of the North will target the Young Lady. Because if they kill the Young Lady, along with stimulating Nagagor who entered a corner of the Seven Wild Monsters. They can say a word to the Seven Wild Monsters. So-called, making a good impression in the tribe.”
His eyes become sharp.
“Can you endure it. That threat.”
Grand Duke Gayrad’s words were reasonable.
The barbarians will undoubtedly rush towards Elise.
“Did you understand? All the barbarians of the North will target the Young Lady. That threat, can you endure it.”
Endure….
Elise chewed over those words.
And.
The corners of her mouth draw an arc.
‘…She smiles?’
The moment Grand Duke Gayrad, seeing that appearance, rather felt interested.
Elise spoke.
“I am confident.”
“Is that so. Even at any moment, can you proudly flutter your flag without breaking the Young Lady’s blade.”
Elise chewed over Grand Duke Gayrad’s words.
In the past, when she was in the Murim.
Her flag fluttered in the blue sky.
Martial Arts and Chivalry.
Execute your will clutching a single blade.
Endlessly believe in the will you hung up yourself, believe and believe without doubt, and take a step forward.
All the Kangho people of the Central Plains hang up a flag writing their will while holding their own Martial Arts.
Among those countless flags, the only one flag proudly fluttering at the pinnacle of Mount Tai and the Big Dipper is the very flag of the Number One Under the Heavens.
The owner of that flag is the very Number One Under the Heavens of the era.
Before Elise Blaze, Han Su-ah fluttered her flag across the entire Central Plains beyond Mount Tai and the Big Dipper.
Would there have been no threat to such her?
Would the blade of death not have fluttered towards such her?
The stage of Number One Under the Heavens is the proof that one has broken the flags of everyone except oneself.
To such her, this level of threat is familiar.
“I am confident to flutter it as much as I like.”
At Elise’s words, Grand Duke Gayrad smiled with a satisfied smile.
“If you establish merit, I will give you rewards corresponding to it. Do not worry about quantity and quality. Because there are many precious things in the Grand Ducal House’s warehouse to the point that two hands are lacking.”
“Understood.”
“Good. You may go. Go and try drinking the essence of the Snowflake Goat.”
At the Grand Duke’s words, Elise bowed her head and withdrew.
***
“It looks unique.”
Elise, who returned to the room, looked at the liquid as white as snow.
Even so, it wasn’t water.
Should I say it is literally white.
If I open the lid and pour it on the floor, it is a liquid that will flow out like snow pouring down.
“…First, before eating. Luna!”
“Yes! Miss!”
Luna peeking her head out from one side of the room.
She, a maid, is busy taking charge of her master, Lady Elise Blaze, today as well.
“Did you call!”
“Yeah yeah. I, so…. It’s the essence of the Snowflake Goat. I’m going to eat something like a spiritual medicine, you know?”
“Yes? Yes. Miss.”
“Absolutely do not come inside the room, okay? If I say I’m done, come and help me bathe a little.”
“Ah. Yes. Miss. I will prepare the bath immediately.”
“Since it will take time, there is no need to do it immediately. Mm. At least…. Two hours? Ah, sorry, misspoke. It will take 2 hours. Please do it taking that into account.”
“Yes! Miss. I will prepare it.”
“Probably the stench will be severe. Since it won’t be covered even by my scent. Please prepare plenty of fragrant things. Ah, and also prepare useless cloths to lay on the floor. Because the floor will get dirty.”
“Yes!”
Luna who nodded.
Elise also nodded and closed the room door waving her slender hand.
Now, then shall we begin.
Thanks to Luna who brought cloths a little later, Elise, who laid cloth on the floor, immediately sat in a lotus position on it.
And without hesitating, she drank all the essence of the Snowflake Goat.
Gulp—.
It really felt like drinking snow.
Even so, it wasn’t cold, a feeling of drinking lukewarm snow powder with water.
It is a quite new taste.
Shortly after, Elise, who drank all the essence of the Snowflake Goat, realized that vitality was circulating throughout her whole body.
‘It’s done.’
As she examined her body, she realized that internal energy was flowing riding the acupoints.
‘Just eating it will make the body sturdy, but if I operate internal energy, I can also pull out the waste products inside the body.’
I aimed for this.
Would there be Marrow Cleansing or Expelling Impurities and Opening Acupoints in the Ro-Fan world.
Probably dirty things will come out terribly.
Besides, there is another problem.
‘To summarize the Heaven's Mandate Great Yin Severed Meridians, it is similar to the Nine Yin Severed Meridians but a different aspect. Although the Nine Yin Severed Meridians is commonly known as 9 blood vessels being blocked, the Heaven's Mandate Great Yin Severed Meridians is different. This is….’
Her brows narrowed.
‘The Yin energy runs wild and the acupoints are overloaded. Like a machine I used on Earth, the first life. The battery is swollen and right before exploding. Already a few blood vessels are tattered…. So strictly speaking, should I call it Swollen Meridians rather than Severed Meridians. Well. What it’s called doesn’t matter. The important thing is, what to do about this.’
Heaven's Mandate Great Yin Severed Meridians.
What should be done about the Yin energy running wild while overloading the entire acupoints.
‘It is simple. Using spiritual medicine, catch the Yin energy running wild everywhere in the acupoints, and calm the overload.’
Good.
Let’s begin.
Elise began to operate the Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art.
Shortly after, the internal energy of the Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art moving starting from the Dantian.
The internal energy of the Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art begins to control the Qi flowing out from the essence of the Snowflake Goat scattered in the body.
Along with that, the two energies take on the role of firefighters.
‘Good. With this.’
Elise did not hesitate.
The acupoints that must be calmed first right now are exactly.
‘Whether it’s the Twelve Standard Meridians or the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. The most important is the Conception and Governor Vessels. I must catch it from here.’
The center of the Microcosmic Orbit.
The Conception Vessel and the Governor Vessel. Referring to these, they are called the Conception and Governor Vessels.
Among them, the place that must be pre-processed is exactly.
‘Governor Vessel. I must catch the Governor Vessel.’
The Conception Vessel is the vessel where the Yin vessels of the whole body gather, and the Governor Vessel is the vessel where the Yang vessels of the whole body gather.
Then, since it is Elise’s body overflowing with Yin energy, it can be said that naturally the Conception Vessel must be caught, but….
No. That is not it.
‘Only by taking care of the Governor Vessel first can the harmony between Yin and Yang be achieved.’
To match this broken physical balance even a little, the Governor Vessel where the energy of Yang gathers must be fixed first.
The Conception Vessel where the energy of Yin runs wild is impossible with this level of spiritual medicine.
Therefore, Elise pulled all the energy of the essence gathered with the Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art to the Governor Vessel.
‘Beginning.’
With the signal, Elise began to operate the cultivation method.
Plum Blossom Clear Qi Art.
The basic cultivation method of the Mount Hua Sect and the cultivation method that can be called the foundation is operated immediately.
Along with recovering the Governor Vessel from the Dantian, it touches the minor vessels spread through the body.
Shortly after, time began to pass.
30 minutes.
1 hour.
2 hours.
Her Governor Vessel, which had become a mess over the period of over 10 years, is stabilizing even a little.
Along with that, her physical body is also slowly settling down.
Shortly after.
“…Ah.”
She looked around the surroundings that were devastated before she knew it and muttered.
“The smell is severe….”
Including the cloth she laid down, it was full of sticky residue.
“Luna! It’s done!”
“…Yes! Miss! Gasp!”
“It’s very dirty, right? I will help too.”
“Gasp. You don’t have to….”
The cleaning of the two people continued.
***
A few days later, Deltarch Grand Duchy.
Elise and Luna were talking.
“Miss. Miss. Do you know that?”
“Huh? What is it, Luna.”
“Lately, Miss’s appearance is really, how should I say it…. Amazing!”
“…Amazing?”
“Yes! If you do your debutante, wouldn’t high society probably go wild…. Such a feeling?”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. Here, a mirror.”
Saying so, Luna abruptly hands over a hand mirror.
Elise naturally looked at her face in the mirror.
Certainly, I know what the feeling Luna mentioned means.
If in the past the face was so pale that it looked like an appearance that would die as is.
Now vitality returned to the face, giving a needlessly refreshing feeling.
Isn’t there such a saying.
Juicy Face.
Elise was the one who had memories of picking it up briefly in the first life.
“It’s definitely an appearance where vitality circulates.”
“Yes! Miss. You are like a peach.”
“Thank you. Luna.”
Elise chuckled and returned the mirror to Luna.
And added one word.
“I will do well so the peach doesn’t spoil.”
—————————————!!!
A shout is heard from afar.
Now, let’s go.
To the battlefield.
***
“It’s the barbarians! It’s the appearance of the barbarians!!!”
Beyond the wall called the Iron-Blooded Wall, the military force of barbarians is seen.
Dust mixed with soil and snow flutters violently, and their path is clearly revealed.
As expected, these guys have no intention of hiding.
“Shall we go.”
Elise drew her sword holding the handle of the Twig of Ristoire, commonly known as Rina.
That moment.
Kuhahahahahaha————!!!
Ahahahahahaha————!!!
Wahahahahaha————!!!
Sounds of laughter are heard from everywhere.
Laughter too lively to be wailing ghost sounds wandering the battlefield.
The laughter rolling around like an echo soon cuts off, and the owners of the voices speak in unison.
“Where are you! Let us see the face of the woman who landed a blow on Nagagor! Kuhahahahahaha————!!!”
“Nagagor! Weren’t you swaggering too much considering how long it’s been since you became a member of the Seven Wild Monsters? How stupid! Ahahahahahaha————!!!”
“Wahahahahaha————!!! It seems a warrior-like warrior has emerged in the Empire after a long time! Come out! Reveal yourself in front of me!”
Shortly after, the Seven Wild Monsters call the name of one person in unison.
“Elise Blaze! Reveal yourself! Let us see the warrior who landed a blow on Nagagor!”
“Ahaha! Was it Elise? Who is it? Who is it!!!”
“I hear you bloom flowers! Come out! Come out and show your power of the stars!!!”
Elise did not hesitate.
Right.
Since they are calling, I must go.
Clack—.
Her figure began to sprint.
