I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 66. It’s right here in front of you (3)

“Keter, it’s been four days. It looks like you went underground, right?”

The old man held out a wooden cup to Keter without taking any money.

However, the contents of the cup were different. The water was much clearer, and even the ice was floating.

said Keter, who drank half the water and tossed the glass on the floor.

“Give me another drink. With a better guy than mine.”

“That, it is.”

The old man again handed over the wooden cup, and Keter took it and gave it to Luke.

“Now, take a bite too.”

“… phew.”

Luke received the wooden cup from Keter.

The old man looked at Luke and groaned.

“I apologize to that gentleman. This old man’s eyes are rotten, so he couldn’t recognize the nobleman.”

Rather than relieved of his anger, Luke was drained of energy.

is that an apple? no. That is surrender. What kind of person is so quick to change posture?

Aside from that, Luke was so thirsty that he tried to drink the water first.

However, something was strange.

The ability to detect unhappiness is severely rejecting it.

‘what?’

Luke examined the water. It was just water, no different from what Keter drank.

However, misfortune detection was triggered. Luke believed in his ability to detect unhappiness.

“You try drinking this first.”

The old man looked at Kether in bewilderment.

Keter took Luke’s wooden cup for the old man and said,

“Are you not okay with this? It can be seen that it is almost completely resistant to poison poisons.”

“You can’t… … ?”

“Hey, give me some real water.”

Keter drank Luke’s water.

Then the old man widened his eyes.

“It contains a powerful sleeping pill that can put an ogre to sleep… … .”

“That won’t cure my insomnia.”

New ‘real’ water was given to Luke.

This time the misfortune was quiet. It was real water.

“You were deliberately testing it.”

“I was trying to teach you a lesson not to trust anyone in liqueur.”

Luke thoughtlessly tried to drink the water, but suddenly got goosebumps.

‘Have you ever told Keter about my abilities?’

There was no In a nutshell.

But Keter was talking as if he already knew.

“Aren’t you drinking?”

“drink.”

Luke drenched his neck first and looked at it.

Meanwhile, Keter kicked the old man’s stall at the water store and said,

“Hey, give me the money you got from that guy.”

“Here it is.”

The old man placed the one silver that Luke had paid for on Keter’s palm.

Then Keter frowned.

“Do you see me as a double-headed one too? Did Luke only pay 1 silver? Are you sure?”

“yes? yes. 1 silver That’s right.”

“Wow, that can’t be. It wasn’t silver. did i look wrong? Are my eyes sick?”

“Oh, no. I guess I was slightly mistaken.”

The old man exchanged silver coins for gold coins.

Then Keter withdrew his hand.

“Behave well.”

Tok.

Keter poked her finger through the windowpane. Then, there was a popping sound all over the window, and cracks like spider webs formed.

The old man at the water store was stunned, then turned to tears.

This glass that protects itself is not just glass. It was a very expensive guy that was strengthened by magic and reflected physical shock as well as magic attacks. But Keter shattered it in half with a single snap of her finger.

If you twist him, you can curse at him and start a fight.

However, it was impossible because the opponent was Keter.

In a world where strength is the law, being weak is a sin in liqueur, and if you don’t notice, you won’t be pitied even if you die.

Keter showed it best.

All those coming from the other side of Kether made space at a distance. It is as if there is a great barrier that is invisible only to Kether.

Everyone, even those who didn’t know Keter, avoided it like that, so they acted the same way.

Luke was following behind Keter, so he could see this very clearly.

“Keter. What the hell are you in this liqueur?”

“He’s a handsome angel just as he looks.”

“I think you’ve confused it with the devil.”

Keter grabbed the arm of a passer-by.

“Hey, am I an angel or a devil?”

The man whose arm was grabbed was enormous and had a savage impression. However, the man rolled his eyes and pondered.

Then Keter whispered a hint.

“My face is the correct answer.”

“… Oh, the devil.”

f*ck!

Keter’s fist plunged into the man’s abdomen. The big man fell to his knees in one punch and fell forward.

“Did you see it? This is how I am an angel.”

“I didn’t kill… … ?”

“Just now he was suffering from chronic constipation. He solved that.”

“… … .”

Luke increased the pace of his silent walk.

* * *

It took about 10 minutes to get to the arms shop to get a bow and arrow.

Luke was exhausted in just 10 minutes. It seemed that even if I climbed the cliff vertically, I wouldn’t get this tired.

“I can’t believe you lived in a place like this for 18 years.”

Coming this far, what Luke witnessed was literally hell.

A place full of pure anger, without malice or purpose.

People fighting everywhere. It’s not just a fist fight, it’s a fight to kill each other with weapons.

Even children were no exception. Rather, it was more daring. To the point where he tried to pickpocket Luke, who was walking right behind Keter.

Of course, there was no way that Luke, who had the ability to detect misfortune, would suffer.

The most shocking thing was the corpses strewn across the streets.

At first I thought they were just homeless people. But it wasn’t. It was Luke’s mistake to look carefully.

Although he is a famous knight, the terrible corpses were enough to shake his mind for Luke, who had never experienced combat.

‘I think I know why Keter lives on the upper floors. If you keep looking at this kind of sight, you will go crazy.’

Even in broad daylight, sunlight did not reach the ground. It was because of the fog on the ground and the buildings that covered the sky.

‘I can’t live even one day in a place like this.’

I knew it without experiencing it.

It’s wild here. It was in a forest teeming with monsters, but the appearance of that monster was only human.

Luke sighed even when he arrived at the weapon shop. Usually, when it comes to arms stores, they are displayed on the walls for shoppers to browse.

However, this place was blocked by bars first, and weapons were hung behind it. It was a sound that could only be seen with the eyes.

Whatever it was, the types of weapons were really diverse. Of course, the bow was the least among them.

“They are all written by someone.”

It looks like new, but has only been cleaned.

Traces of use were visible in Luke’s eyes. No matter how good the quality is, it will be a low-end product.

“Two bows. Thirty arrows.”

Keter spoke to the arms shop owner.

Then the owner went to the back door and brought a bow and arrow separately. It was a bow in better condition than the one hanging on the wall. It’s a middle-class item that someone used.

Since only the highest quality bows were always given to Sephira’s knights, Luke could easily recognize them.

Luke grabbed the bow Keter gave him.

I could tell without shooting it. It was the worst.

“Do you think this will break soon? Arrows are not in good condition.”

Luke said with an honest heart.

Keter spread three fingers.

“Lesson three. The best of the worst exists.”

From noble mtl dot com

“Okay, I won’t complain.”

That was not what Keter meant.

Ordinary teachers do not teach their students hidden meanings because they value self-enlightenment when teaching their students.

But Keter was different.

Immediately, he gave Luke a face-off.

“You fool. Do you know that I’m just nagging? If you are dissatisfied with your bow, make an effort to find a better bow, or think about how to use that bow. If your bow breaks, will you just die? It means thinking about what to do if it breaks.”

“Ahh… … !”

At Keter’s admonition, Luke immediately agreed. And I was ashamed.

He was implicitly arrogant about the fact that he had a great supernatural ability. I realized that.

I was already relying on this ability that I couldn’t handle properly yet, and I was relieved that it wouldn’t be dangerous if Keter was by my side.

“Keter. I think it’s right to find a better bow since I have money to spare.”

“Then go find it.”

“Aren’t you going with me?”

“You need a bow, don’t I?”

“no… . That’s right, though.”

Weren’t we friends? Luke wanted to say that. If you’re a friend, you might be a little considerate, I thought.

Luke didn’t express his sadness in words, but his expression showed it all, so Keter added.

“Abandon the habit of relying on others. If you want to do it, do it.”

“How are you doing after work?”

“You pooped on you, so why is someone else cleaning it?”

It was a dirty word, but Luke clearly understood what he meant.

“If I want to get a better bow right now, I have to find it on my own without you and then find you.”

“If you don’t have the confidence to do that, just calmly use what is given to you.”

“I understand, thank you.”

“It’s not free. Everything is accumulating.”

“Thank you anyway.”

Luke chose according to Keter’s words. Rather than finding a bow alone in the unknown world of liqueur, I decided to use the bow I have now.

Acquiring her bow and arrows, Kether began to walk again in silence. It was only then that Luke remembered what his original purpose was.

I was on my way to the ‘Red Eyes’ area to find Keter’s subordinate, Gyro.

“What are the Red Eyes doing?”

“I was wondering when to ask.”

Keter first explained about the four madmen of liqueur.

“There is a guy who is crazy about swords, a guy who is crazy about eyes, a guy who is crazy about bombs, and just a crazy b*tch. The name of the crazy guy is Maran. The Red Eyes are his subordinates.”

“Everything else is understandable. I don’t know what you mean by crazy about the color of your eyes.”

“A talented person like you. You can change someone else’s eye color as you like, and you can use the memory and ability of the owner of the eye color.”

“… That I’m talented You know it too.”

“I knew it as soon as I saw it.”

“I had no intention of hiding it. I’m just out of my mind.”

“If you are proud, don’t apologize.”

“huh.”

Luke pondered for a moment, then looked at Keter and said.

“Keter. Aren’t you an elf by any chance?”

“Not all good-looking people are elves.”

“That has nothing to do with it, and when I see you, I think of Lady Basil or the commander of the Galactic Division. Should I call it skill, or should I call it career? It’s like you’ve experienced everything yourself.”

“You’ve experienced everything, right?”

“… I want to have this ability to see through lies.”

“Little boy. I don’t lie. Do you know why?”

“Maybe it’s because of the trust.”

“Ding. I don’t lie for the sake of lying.”

“Yes?”

Luke didn’t understand.

Normally, when this happens, Keter will give an additional explanation, but this time it was Keter who skipped over it.

“Maran can awaken the power of the eyes besides the ability to just remove and insert the eyes. The Red Eyes are the ones who have been awakened to the power of the eyes by Maran.”

“What is the power of the eye? Is your eyesight improving?”

“It gets better to the level of Sephira’s knights. But that’s an additional ability, and the real thing is ‘increased visual acuity’. This too rises to the level of a knight.”

“You mean that a person named Maran can bestow that kind of ability on anyone?”

“It’s true that you can give it to anyone, but of course you have to pay for it. Every ability has a price. including you There are individual differences when Maran awakens their eyes, but they usually lose their eyesight completely within a year.”

“Being blind… ? Then there will be few subordinates.”

“No, there are the most among the madmen. It’s to the point where I’m begging you to accept me as a subordinate.”

“Does that make sense? Aren’t you deceived by not knowing that you are losing your eyesight?”

“If you bring someone else’s eyes, Maran will put them back on. Well, the probability of failure is quite high, so the placenta will die.”

Luke couldn’t possibly understand the hearts of the liqueurs.

No matter how strong I want to be, it’s only one year. They say that you’ll go blind within a year, and you’ll have a higher chance of dying if you bring someone else’s eyes, but to beg and become a subordinate.

‘It’s not normal. Is it because I live here in liqueur, or do such people come to liqueur?’

Luke, who did not enter the liqueur as a standard, could not have known.

Other cities always have high walls and checkpoints.

But there is no liqueur.

just pierced there is no entrance If you want to come in, just come in.

However, after entering, you must protect your own life. Otherwise, it is sold disguised as fresh meat from a restaurant.

As Luke walked along Keter, he suddenly felt a terrifying gaze.

I turned my head to where I felt the gaze.

A picture was drawn there. The eerie ‘Red Eyes’ painting on the wall. It was as if he was staring at himself.

Luke knew without Keter telling him.

“Have you entered? In the Red Eye gang area.”

Keter continued walking without answering.

The frequency of red-eyed paintings gradually increased, and people quickly disappeared.

Luke whispered to Keter with an arrow in his string.

“Keter. Let’s move quietly from here on out. There’s a lot of cover and a lot of obstacles for archers to fight. You don’t have to fight in unfavorable circumstances.”

“That’s right.”

“yes?”

“The right words.”

“… … ?!”

Keter took a deep breath, and cried out in a loud voice.

“weather! Receive guests, children!”
