Chapter 663
Episode 663 Wins Heart (7)
It took less time than expected to explain everything.
Was it already anticipated?
Ete nodded in agreement.
Sain rolled up his arms to encourage Ete, who looked weak.
“I have to prepare a grand dinner on the day I leave!”
As I waited while licking my lips, so many dishes came out that my desk legs would soon break.
Even though the table is quite large, every corner is full of dishes.
It was Ray who somehow felt a sense of fear.
Even Lacia muttered with a tired face.
“Okay, let’s eat.”
“Ho-ho-ho. Eat a lot. In particular, Ray probably hasn’t been able to take care of himself in the meantime.”
While talking, he holds out the cooking plates to the front.
It became difficult to even move the fork as many of the dishes were piled up in front of them.
An indescribable aftertaste fills your mouth as you take a sip of the greasy thinly sliced meat and wine.
Dishes with well-balanced meat and vegetables tasted as good as any other high-end restaurant.
For Ray, who had been chewing dry food, it was at the level of bringing water to the dry land.
As if cleaning, the dishes are emptied one by one, and Sein’s complexion also falls into ecstasy.
Ray ate the dishes like he was really possessed.
By the time I ate more than half of the dishes on the table by myself.
“As expected, he is our son! I knew that and cooked a lot!”
Sain filled the empty plate with dishes again.
By that point, Ray was also stunned.
My stomach is already full and is about to explode.
Actually, she’s just not talking, but if she pulls her pants down a little, her chubby and cute belly will be revealed.
If it was a poisonous dish, I would just eat it, but I couldn’t dare resist a dish that was pushed with quantity.
Sein’s face was stained sadly as he wandered in a situation where he didn’t even know what to eat.
“Are you tired of mom’s cooking?”
This time, Ale’s glare pours warmly.
It contained a desperate will, as if to prepare for disappointment.
Ray, who had become that of a hero facing an undead army that would come to life endlessly no matter how many times he killed him, felt the threat to his life and stuffed food into his stomach.
okay.
Let’s eat and die today.
With that promise, I loosened the robe.
Now, I don’t even use tableware and pour the whole soup into my mouth.
Only Sein cheered for the performance.
“Brother… Forgive me for not stopping you…”
“…Cheer up.”
Lacia and Ale cheered a little.
“Ugh….”
Thanks to the cheering, Ray stuffed the last leftover food into his mouth.
It is now difficult to tell whether food goes into the mouth or the nose.
When all the enemies on the table were annihilated, the enemy commander finally admired them.
“As expected, he is our son!”
It was only when I heard those familiar words that I was able to collapse.

The Cold War between the kingdom of Celia and the upper half of Hafman disappeared like snow.
In addition to Ray’s instructions, it was because King Theogard’s personal letter was also delivered to Hafman.
As the support of the upper ranks went to the people and the capital’s economy began to stabilize, Celia was gradually recovering its former prosperity.
Life is getting better little by little, and you can see smiles here and there one by one on the streets.
Celia, which was the first to stabilize the economy, later announced it loud enough to inform neighboring countries and even beyond the empire.
‘I will announce the establishment of the Baekwidan here. In the name of Deogard, I earnestly hope that those with intelligence and will will gather.’
It was a short word, but the ripple effect was enormous.
The king’s words meant that anyone with intelligence and determination would be allowed to join the ranks, regardless of rank.
As expected.
Adventurers and mercenaries gathered from all over Silia.
Because it is possible to enter under the command of the ‘Baekwidan’ only after undergoing a direct examination at the royal castle, the royal castle was crowded with people at an unexpected time.
No specific reward was given, and the nobles had nothing to gain as they did not consider the title.
However, I saw several young nobles who gathered their will to defeat the common enemy of ‘Heukbang’.
“I can’t stand to see the evil group that disturbs the world.”
“I will sacrifice my body to keep the peace.”
When such people started appearing, the name of Baekwidan spread widely.
As the children of the nobles who heard the rumors joined again and those who looked at them with envy appeared, the White Guard gradually turned into heroes within the kingdom of Celia.
* * *
The news of the royal capital reached Ray.
“The White Guard?”
“yes. They said it was a mess in the royal capital.”
Ray shook his head at Lacia’s words.
What did you decorate?
He knew that King Deogard had a plan, but he never dreamed that he would gather young people and form an independent counterforce.
It can be said that it is a trick since there is no need to recruit troops separately, and above all, support for a group called Baekwidan will be created.
Talk to Lacia and enter the room.
Unknown bottles and the spicy smell of medicinal herbs greeted me first.
The room was remodeled on its own, but there was another door past the door, and the shape of it blocked with dark red paper looked similar to an amulet.
“That’s…”
“It’s a blood chamber.”
“Blood chamber?”
“yes. We are experimenting with blood that has high healing power like trolls and orcs.”
“Hoo.”
I’m a little worried about testing blood, but since he’s a younger brother who almost hates warlocks, he won’t be making chimeras.
“The stuff I’m going to show my older brother was also developed in there.”
“Stop lingering and show me slowly.”
“Whoop whoop. It’s not something to be proud of, but…”
Lacia held out a bottle covered with a white cloth.
Carefully closing the cloth, it contained a mysterious red liquid.
The color is so dark red that it is safe to say that it is blood.
But strangely, I felt the remnants of mana.
“what’s this?”
When asked honestly, Lacia smiled.
“To put it simply… It’s a potion. I was able to make potions with the blood of trolls and elves.”
portion?
If there was something absolutely necessary to make a potion, the first was holy water and the second was troll’s blood.
Other miscellaneous things are included, but they are not as important as holy water and troll’s blood.
But did you make that potion?
“wait for a sec. Elf blood…”
“Yes. The blood of the elves in Grandel’s Forest…”
Feeling displeased with those words, Ray stared blankly.
“Did you ask for permission?”
“Please. Do you think my brother is a cruel woman who will draw the blood of elves at will?”
If I said that, I might really draw out the blood of the elves, but they have Aira.
If she tried to force the elves, she wouldn’t stay still.
Ray shook the bottle.
It seems that there is no viscosity at all when you see it
rocking- rocking-swaying.
can i drink
This blood red thing?
I was shaking the bottle a couple of times with my doubts, but Lacia said with expectant eyes.
“Try it.”
It sounds like a thunderclap.
Since he is not a vampire himself, how could he drink blood as it is?
Without even shaking my head.
Excited, Lacia showed off the magic of picking out a cork with pure grip.
“Come on.”
“Have you checked to see if you can drink it?”
“sure.”
The answer is good.
For some reason, I was not very trustworthy, so I was full of doubts, but I couldn’t help but drink what my sister recommended.
Ray closed his eyes and drank from the bottle.
Gulp- Gulp-
It’s cheap to go down the throat.
An alarm bell went off in my head and the hairs all over my body seemed to stand on end.
The sensation of mana spreading through his body like poison was terrifying, like a small lizard crawling through his veins.
“Ugh!”
In a word, it was the worst.
From the texture to the senses that follow after swallowing, it’s hard to say that everything is from a potion.
Strangely, however, it was no different from the potion created by any priest in terms of mana spreading.
“My brother is the first to drink the finished product.”
Proudly open your chest and speak.
no wait.
Didn’t you say you checked to see if you could drink it?
“How about this?”
Lacia asked for her impressions without even having time to question.
“To be honest, the taste is the worst. In terms of effect, it must be similar to a normal potion.”
He was surprised even after telling himself.
The effect alone was as good as any other potion.
Among them, the point of living especially high is that this potion was made without holy water.
‘The reason potions are expensive is because they cannot be made without the help of a priest.’
One of the things that cannot be made without God’s grace is potion.
Seongguk was using this potion as one of its diplomatic means.
What if you could independently make potions that only Seongguk could create?
It meant the closure of a market monopoly that had existed for thousands of years.
Also, the Gaia Holy Kingdom and the Western Continent’s Holy Kingdom will no longer be able to use potion diplomacy.
Perhaps the holy kingdom would try to silence it.
Ray looked at the empty bottle with a calm face and asked.
“Can you tell me how you made this?”
Then Lacia grabbed the empty bottle and hid it.
“…It’s a trade secret. Even my older brother cannot tell you this.”
“Sheesh. To be second.”
It’s a trade secret after feeding it a filthy tasteless poison.
There were not one or two things he wanted to discuss, but Ray was relieved inside.
‘It looks like not only the blood of elves and orcs, but also other ingredients.’
The more complicated the recipe, the better.
If she doesn’t have the skills to be silenced by someone, and the recipe is complicated, it’s safe to assume that there’s no possibility that others will use it first.
“How are you going to do that?”
“Ugh. First of all, I plan to open a small shop.”
“store?”
I had never heard of a shop selling potions.
Even if it were to be sold, pressure would come from the nearby temple.
“yes. If I get a chance, I’m thinking of making a temple at all.”
“Mmm.”
Ray imagined a war between his sister and Seongguk, but shook his head to shake his thoughts.
