L069 ◇ Devil's Deal
Daystar did not break his promise, and the next day he took a floatship to the country in the center of the continent, the country of mages.
It was not unreasonable for Daystar to dare to assert and do so directly, and the next day I was surprisingly unwell, and even the dismantled luggage was packed up when I was unconscious, from the most important diary to the dispensable and even best to disappear stinky socks, none of them were lost.
After boarding the floatboat, I finally discovered a fact that I had never had a chance to discover until now - I was dizzy from the floatboat!
The feeling of whirling in the world, which was different from the failure of my internal organs, made me feel sick to my stomach constantly, but I couldn't vomit anything, so I could only try to blow the wind in the window, deck, etc.
The terrible thing is that Daystar said that it will take at least 15 days to travel from the place of departure to the country of mages, and in this half month, I will feel like I am in hell, a hell that is more terrible than the endless snowy fields! In the snowfield, I just felt hungry and cold and powerless to change the situation, and now I am in a state of dizziness day and night, whether I am asleep or awake! In battle, vertigo is deadly, and I simply can't stand it!
I can't stand it and still have to endure it, but fortunately, having Daystar by my side makes my dizziness less uncomfortable, but in my heart, I am even more uncomfortable.
The days of taking a floatboat are very boring, but it is different to be able to see the scenery on the ground and in the sky all the way, and when I pass by some cities, Daystar will even introduce me to which country the city belongs to and how it is developing, which opened my eyes. Oh yes, the word "eye-opening" was also taught to me by Daystar!
Day 14.
In the distance, you can see a thin line reaching into the sky, as if a vertical line had been cut in the middle of a painting. Daystar said that this is the Tower of Babel, and after reaching the top, you can get a glimpse of the world of the gods and interpret the secrets of the world. I don't seem to understand, but the name Babel Tower is really apt, a tower that leads to the starry sky.
Day 15.
The black line that divides the world is getting thicker and thicker, and you can faintly see a triangular city on the other side of the black line that has sunk into the ground...... No, no, it should be three cities around a new triangular clearing, but the connection between the three cities is perfect, and the three corners are also impartial, and at first glance it looks like a huge triangular city. However, there is not nothing in the open space, and there seem to be some buildings in it that are more magical than the outer cities, but they are too far away to see many things.
Daystar says that this giant triangle is the land of mages. It may not be as vast as other countries, not as rich as other countries, and not as strong as other countries, but it is definitely a place that all mages yearn for!
On the 17th day, we arrived!
I was excited, but also depressed. I have finally reached the land of the mages that Daystar spoke of, and I have finally returned to the surface; Unfortunately, the moment I landed, I felt the world spinning, and the pressure accumulated without a good sleep on the floating boat finally crushed me when I just got off the boat, and I passed out again. During my coma, I missed the annual Wisdom Festival, the opportunity to meet new people, and the 10,000th anniversary festival held by Daystar.
But it didn't matter, when I woke up, Daystar said that I had found the right organ for me, and I would have a lot of time to do what I wanted to do if I transplanted it now! It's not off...... System?
Before the transplant, I was always asked to stay in my room on the grounds that I was seriously ill. But there was nothing in the room except a bed and an empty cupboard, and it was extremely boring. There were no windows, no doors, and the three stone-walled rooms had only a locked railing, separated from the dark hallway, and I wondered what time of day it was, and I didn't know if it was morning, noon, or night until Daystar brought me food.
After the surgery, I threw the replaced internal organs in the trash, and although they stayed in my body for a while, I didn't have any nostalgia for them.
They cause me pain, and I have nothing but disgust with them.
One day after the transplant, I began to yearn for the outside world, and I told Daystar about it when I was chatting with Daystar, who seemed a little unhappy when he heard it, but after the silence, he agreed to me.
I don't know why Daystar is unhappy, does he want me to stay in this room for the rest of my life? If it's as I think...... I don't know if I can do it, but I'll do my best.
Daystar said I could go out the next day, but not the next day, Daystar was only away for a few hours and came back before I was hungry, he removed the lock on the railing and told me to go out through the crack in the door, but my body was too big to get out, and Daystar had to use magic to remove the entire railing.
In order to familiarize me with the new environment, Daystar decided to take me on a trade. The object of the trade is a demon, and the item traded is a familiar thing - the Tears of Mirage.
It may be that the mage who transformed my body at the beginning had the aura of a demon, which made me remember what a terrible demon would smell like, and it made me feel like I wanted to blow up my hair when I was that demon.
"This is the puppy?"
"I'm not a dog, I'm a wolf. I'm a red wolf in the snow."
"Oh? But it looks like a dog when it flicks its tail. Are you sure you're really not a dog?"
"I—"
"That's enough, it's a mirage tear, and it doesn't matter to me whether you want to throw it away or freeze it. I've done what you want me to do, the deal is done, this is my office, can you leave."
"Tsk, that's cold. The old man can't be too bad-tempered, isn't there no mercy in front of me in front of the students?"
"I remember you're several times older than me, so maybe I should call you an old man?" I don't have the word 'mercy' in my dictionary, and besides, I don't need mercy in the face of demons."
"But the life span of demons is unlimited, in front of those demon gods who have lived from creation to the present, I am still only a baby~ So, goodbye little star~"
"Get out!"
The demon who left the office with the Mirage Tears hippie smile I found became a mentor here, and came after I became a mentor.
This annoying demon was always coming at me, and several times I choked on my nose with his demonic smell of corpses, and a few times when I had just returned from the abyss, and as soon as he got close, the smell almost scared me back into attacking him. A few more times, I did attack him, but I found that neither my claws nor my magic worked against him, and my vaunted claws and wind magic couldn't even cut his skin.
Many times I thought the devil was trying to eat me as a snack, but one day he suddenly told me that I was just a pawn, the same pawn, and that he had many more.
Then we understand that the devil is trying to sow discord.
However, this is invalid.
Because what I think in my heart is not that I am offended, but that I am not willing to be just a chess piece, and I want to be the only thing in the person of Levitra Daystar, not a chess piece, not an adopted son. Could this feeling be something called possessiveness? I do not know. But what else is Daystar missing?
I thought about this question all night.
Then I evolved, I evolved from a wolf to a dog, from a curious wolf to a loyal dog, but I was still crazy. Because I understand that Daystar doesn't need a pretending to be a reserved wolf, he only needs a dog that can bite. Because I know that from the moment he saved me, it was an endless transaction, a transaction that only demons could continue.
I remember how terrible the devil's face was when he heard my answer the next day, so black that it could be made of teppanyaki, and it stinked so much that everyone had to go around it at least ten meters when they saw it.
Was it wrong for me to agree to be Daystar's adopted son?
I don't know, I just know that I won't go back, and I'll be faithful until—
I die.
