Chapter 147

TL: Zimming

The young warrior was brave.

“I’ll protect you!”

“Seto, you’re so cool!”

“If the nymphs show up, I’ll open my arms like this to block it.”

“Seto, you’re the best!”

“Little miss, just trust me!”

“Seto, you’re dazzling!”

I walked behind the majestic-looking Seto. Just in case, I made a barrier and became more alert with every step I took.

“You don’t have to go that far.”

Zachary said with a grin, but I remained vigilant.

“My life is very precious.”

I could regress again, but then I would have to rebuild my relationship with the Dubbled family.

Next time, it will be hard to get close to my family naturally as if I didn’t know anything. I wasn’t confident that we could be in the same loving relationship as what we have now.

‘That’s the scariest thing.’

So regression is my last resort. Hence, I had to desperately protect my life.

My brothers smiled happily at me, who walked one step at a time cowardly.

“Alright, alright.”

“Leblaine, don’t stay far away from Seto.”

Any other time, they will say ‘Too close!’ ‘How dare you push your back on the kid?’. Henry and Isaac,

who would have said that, we’re very nice today.

Zachary whispered as I tilted my head.

“He’s a totem.”

“Totem?”

“Think of him as an amulet or a shield. First of all, don’t even see him as a human.”

It was then.

“Oh my God!”

There was a mortifying scream as a myriad of nymphs rushed in with their sharp teeth.

Zachary, who was behind me, shields me at once and threatens the nymph with his spear.

The reason why Zachary was chosen to practice with a spear was because of his enormous power. He could swing a heavy spear lightly with one hand. Normally, the moment they are suppressed by him, they won’t be able to move.

However, the nymph struggled a few times as the spear bent slightly. Taking advantage of that gap, the nymph who struggled screamed, “Keeek!!” and it bit the spear as the spear melted.

“Be careful!”

Zachary shouts back at the Irie.

The Irie was about to create a barrier when Seto ran forward.

“Seto!”

I grabbed him by the waist in a hurry.

“It’s okay, they won’t attack me…”

“Fool! They were too far away from us. It won’t recognize you unless you get close. A nymph with a long-range magic skill has the potential to harm you!”

“Ah….”

I quickly dragged Seto. Fortunately, the nymphs couldn’t move properly after being attacked by Zachary, so they didn’t shoot out the mountain until Seto approached it closely.

“Ki-ik…Ki-ik…….”

“It’s very gentle. I think it recognized Seto.”

That means he only had to get at least three or four meters closer.

The nymph remained still until Seto withdrew. But when the child go back, they began to be aggressive again.

The nymph was about to jump.

Boom!

With the piercing sound, something like a chain popped out quickly and tied the nymphs.

It was a red and blue chain.

The chains were produced by Henry and Isaac.

The chain overpowered the nymph’s whole body. The nymphs, who couldn’t even open their mouths properly, wriggled.

“Shh-, calm down.”

“Do you mind if I tell you to be quiet? You have to be quiet to listen to what I have to say.”

Henry and Isaac spoke one after another and approached it.

Isaac, who grabbed the wiggling nymph, frowned.

“Should I kill it? It’s a hassle to drag them with us.”

Henry shook his head and tapped the nymph’s forehead with his index finger at Isaac’s words. Henry’s seal was engraved on his forehead, and soon the nymph’s eyes were red.

When Henry and Isaac took off their chain, the nymphs shouted in pain.

“It can’t speak human language, but I think it can understand us. If I’m right, nod your head.”

The nymph trembled violently. Like It doesn’t want to answer.

The nymphs struggled painfully with tears, but soon nodded.

“Are you guarding this place?”

The nymph nodded.

“How many more are there? Twenty?”

“Ki-Ki-Ki…Ki-Ki!!””

“Twenty.”

“It nod its head.”

“Do you mean you’re guarding something? Suwon?”

“Ki….”

“Are there any weak nymphs among you guys?”

The nymph became teary-eyed. The nymph, who was crying painfully, nodded very slowly.

“Weak nymph…they must be babies.”

When Isaac muttered, Henry stood up and ordered irie.

“Bring the little nymps you captured from outside the mine.”

Seto, who was panicking seeing the terrible scene, said, “Well, you know……!”

“It’s not fair to threaten them with their babies……so morally……uh, so aristocrats was obliged to be just…….”

Henry looked back at Seto with an expressionless face, and Isaac smirked.

“Don’t talk nonsense, get your act together. If you jump out again and endanger the kid, you’ll cross the Jordan River before the nymphs.”

“Ha, but…….”

“Can justice protect us?”

“What?”

“Can morality protect the kid’s future? Do you know how much Suwon can feed the people?”

“…….”

“It’s my duty to protect our people no matter what I do. I have no intention of carrying useless justice.”

Henry and Isaac put the little nymph’s in front of it.

If the nymphs were affectionate to their children, they would never attack us.

Henry’s guess was right.

The nymphs couldn’t attack us because of their children.

Thanks to that, it was easy for us to enter the mine.

“That’s weird. Why isn’t there Suwon? No matter how hard we look, there’s nothing.”

“Let’s go in a little more.”

However, the Suwon was not seen until we reached the end.

‘Is this not the place?’

Given that the nymphs did not attack Seto, it clearly meant that he had the spirit’s protection.

“Is there a part of the warrior Tesla legend that we don’t know?”

“Do we have to find the spirits first? Then we have to ask the nymphs.”

“It’s too dangerous.”

“Why don’t we send some people first.”

While they were contemplating,

“Argh!”

Seto screamed. When I looked back in a hurry, I could see the nymph who stole my peanut pouch released.

Seto, who felt sorry for them, seemed to have tried releasing them without us knowing.

The poisoned little nymph attacked Seto with their sharp nails.

“That idiot!”

Isaac ran to Seto, but the little nymph was fast. He aimed Seto’s neck.

‘Did they attack Seto?’

Isaac clenched his fist.

“We’ll step back. Let that idiot go!”

“Ahhh!”

They threatened us with Seto and we couldn’t move. In the meantime, another nymph, who had been released, bit off the chains of the other nymphs.

The little nymphs blew into the air. We felt the ground vibrate and soon after, many nymphs flocked around us.

We are completely surrounded.

‘What should I do?’

I bit my lips tightly.

‘Idiots, they should’ve taken a good look at Seto!’

Seeing the little nymphs running to the adult nymphs, Isaac grabbed Seto by the neck quickly.

But then.

“Kiiikk!””

An adult nymph ran towards Isaac’s neck with his mouth wide open.

“Isaac!”

Only the thought of saving Isaac filled my head. I reflexively launched a barrier and ran to them. Then,

“……huh?”

The nymph, who was running at Isaac, stopped moving and stepped back.

“Why…?”

I looked around in a daze.

The nymphs bent their knees toward me one by one.

Between them came a wrinkly, old nymph.

“Yo, you’re back……the master…this old servant…… greets you…!”

“What?”

As I was terribly confused, Isaac narrowed his eyes and looked at me.

“What are they talking about?”

I looked around in bewilderment. But no one really seemed to understand the old nymph as well.

‘Wait, why did the little nymphs come to me from outside the mine?’

I thought they were going after my peanuts because they were starving, but when I thought about it again, it was strange.

The other nymphs attacked Zachary. But I’ve only been robbed of my peanut and never been attacked by a nymph.

‘Maybe it was because of me that the adult nymphs did not attack Seto in the mine.’

But when the first time Henry and Irie went into the mine, they saw Seto and did not attack him.

For a moment, I remembered something I heard when I was four years old in a slave auction house with Henry and Isaac.

“A mix breed……!”

“They’re younger than they look.”

Some of the mixed breed look normal but there are also others that look younger even if they are old.

Seto was abandoned before in the House of Hope. But why was he abandoned?

‘Nymph cares about their children…….’

I thought Seria named Hans, Duke, and Seto because of their age. I assumed that Seto was the youngest among the children.

“Seto.”

“Yes?”

“How old are you?”

“I’m fifteen…….”

“You, Nymph, are you half-”

That’s why he was especially sorry for Nymph!

Seto nodded brightly.

“Ah, so you were half human and nymph!”
