I’m Not That Kind of Talent - Chapter 126

126. Protection of the World (3)

“You seem to be suspicious.”

“No, that’s not it…”

The Fairy King brushed aside the human’s negativity as he organized the box of herbs. Since I didn’t say it with any particular intention, it doesn’t matter what answer I get.

Instead, he grabbed the person who was trying to retreat and slowly examined him from head to toe.

A body that looks weak despite its small size. What differentiates them from other humans, namely their red eyes, is that they are weak to light, which actually acts as a hindrance to their activities, so in the end, there is no positive aspect.

‘…I won’t know even if I look at it again.’

Why is the world paying attention to this man? I couldn’t understand at all.

I could tell from the first time I saw him that he was the head of the fairy race who was sensitive to the will and flow of the world.

The world is expecting something from this man.

I don’t know what that is. The world didn’t tell us directly, and there’s no way to know what it is because it didn’t go in and out of the world’s head – the ‘head’ doesn’t exist in the first place. All we can do is guess.

‘Since when did it start? The world paid attention to this guy.’

I don’t know, but it must have been quite a long time ago. Because this movement of the world was observed a long time ago. The first time I discovered flow was about 10 years ago.

Still, it was only recently that I met him in person. Since we didn’t really plan on meeting, it just passed by.

An unexpected first meeting. Although it was very short, the Fairy King studied him for enough time to define his opponent, and what came to mind was doubt and doubt.

Are you really saying that the person in front of you is the person the world is paying attention to? He’s just a weak human with a slightly strong smell of blood. Did the world make a wrong decision?

I narrowed my eyes. I can see that the world is working hard to supplement that weak body without being noticed.

…That would be the equivalent of pouring water into a bottomless pot. The Fairy King clicked his tongue lightly and looked away.

‘If there’s nothing special about you physically, are you only focusing on it because of a special situation?’

It is still too early to doubt the world’s judgment. Because the world is a system, not a person with a body and emotions. There has only been one case so far where a system that calculates and judges the situation more calmly than anyone else has made a mistake.

Let’s see, what was his situation?

The only human who travels between the human world and the demon world. I heard that both the owner of the empire, which can be seen as the center of the human world, and the Demon King put him in important positions and cherish him.

‘…Oh wait.’

There, the Fairy King was able to think of one possibility.

Return your thoughts. He shifts his gaze again, examines the human, and rolls his head.

I looked a little closer and saw it. That body that the world is complementing. That is not a supplement that makes the body strong or healthy.

‘Supplementation and modification of classes that allow us to better accept the forces of the world.’

If his health has improved, it may have been a side effect of this process.

‘That’s right.’

That was it.

Now I understand why the leader of the mermaids bothered to touch his shoulder while saying that.

[The Demon King will die at the hands of the hero born this time.]

I looked at the human in front of me with new eyes. White hair, pale skin, blood-red eyes.

Among them, the Fairy King looked into the eyes, which at first glance seemed to contain ordinary emotions, but felt a sense of discomfort, and quietly agreed.

‘The next hero is you.’

The world has chosen you as a candidate for a hero for a very long time.

***

Not so long ago, there was a warrior who cared about a comrade even until his death.

Even in death, he cared about his comrades. ‘If I die, my comrades who do not even have the fragments of a hero will die at the hands of the devil.’

So I devoted my whole heart to it and made a strong wish.

[Please save him.]

The world answered.

[I have been watching him for a long time.]

***

But there is an unresolved question.

‘It wasn’t that long ago that the human Deon Hart began traveling between the demon world and the human world.’

I’m not sure, but I believe it’s been about 2 years at most.

The world paid attention to him 10 years ago. What on earth happened then?

‘…Let’s think about it like this.’

The Fairy King stopped thinking.

Even if you think about it any longer, you won’t find an answer.

‘Rather than that, he chose this human as the next hero…’

He has no idea what the reason is, so all he can think is that the world is suffering for the sake of it. It is said that previous warriors also modified their bodies without realizing it in order to accept the power given by the world, but they did not undergo this much modification.

It’s just a modification to accept the ‘power of the hero’, but it’s almost like they’re remodeling it.

“You must have felt it subconsciously too. Have you ever felt strangely lucky?”

“….”

“Even if you live in a situation where you feel like you are going to die and suffer permanent injuries, you end up with recoverable injuries.”

I removed the muscle herb that had been attached. Clean hands and wrists were revealed. As if checking the condition, he gently swept the area around his wrist and then grabbed it and pulled it.

The light body was dragged helplessly. For some reason, the red eyes that had sunken into silence were still looking up at me. As the distance between them got closer, the Fairy King growled lowly.

“Honestly, you might be inclined to believe this and act accordingly.”

“….”

The world’s protection is strong. They’re wrapping this person up tightly.

This probably means that he has overcome the danger of death many times and that the world has directly shielded him from death many times.

The world rarely intervenes directly. Aftermath and Problems of Intervention We have already suffered greatly from unexpected side effects, realized the dangers, and are still working to resolve the side effects.

How could this person think that a world like that would directly protect his life?…

“Have you ever felt like your body was in a strange state? At some point, a force stronger than calculated can be generated or shocks can be withstood better than expected. Especially in a life-threatening situation, his physical condition must have fluctuated from good to good. However, if you look to see if your body has become healthier, you will see that it is no different from usual.”

“….”

…Well, I guess I’m confused too.

The world’s attention is both fortunate and unfortunate in itself. Convinced that the life of the human in front of me would not be smooth in the future, I let go of my wrist and turned my back with some sympathy.

Since you have healed a human wound that the world is paying attention to, you don’t have to worry about ruining the seed you were entrusted with.

“Then now, let me guide you…”

“King, King!”

I made a promise, and I felt pity at the same time. As I was about to guide him through the forest as planned, small fairies came flying in.

A face that looks urgent, unlike its usual playful and bright appearance.

“It’s a monster! “A monster has invaded!”

“…Devil…!”

He stopped gritting his teeth.

***

The monster invaded. This is where the devil is!

It is a place where there are even heads of other tribes. Have they lost a lot of sense? Or did you suddenly turn around and lose your head?

I quickly followed the Fairy King and returned to where the Demon King was, without even realizing the gap in memory that had occurred in the previous conversation. I stopped in shock when I saw the Fairy King glaring at the Demon King as if he were going to kill him. The force was so terrifying that even the Demon King, who always kept his composure, made the corners of his mouth tremble.

“…I’ll handle it.”

“of course. Rather, it seems like they have lost their survival instinct…”

They invade the place where the leaders of each race are gathered.

To the fairy king’s mutterings, the fairies flying around him added their words one by one.

“I got stronger!”

“I got more scared!”

“That’s what happened after I ate some strange brown liquid!”

huh? Wait, the last one… what?

There is no way the leaders of a race would miss what I noticed. Realizing the importance of the last words, they all looked at the fairy child.

“Brown liquid?”

“yes! “I ate some strange brown liquid and it got stronger!”

“…So, is this a conspiracy targeting our clan?”

Oh, I feel like I’m caught up in something I don’t want to be involved with at all. Can you please send me home right now?

The demon king tilted his head without even looking at me, perhaps because he couldn’t feel my gaze, or because he noticed but was pretending not to notice.

“At a time when I and the head of the mermaid tribe are here?”

“That’s strange too. I’ll have to do some more research. Of course, after dealing with the damn monsters.”

Do it quickly.

At my silent urging, the Demon King sighed, nodded, and looked back at me.

I’m sure you’re not asking me to go with you. Unlike how nervous he was, he smiled and told me to stay here.

“I’m not doubting your skills, but since it’s my first time here, there’s a chance I could get lost. “It can be difficult to tell when using wide-range magic.”

Then, of course, you should be waiting here. I was planning on happily complying without having to explain it that way in the first place.

But wasn’t widespread magic prohibited? He gave the order himself…

‘That’s right, he gave the order himself.’

In other words, the authority to withdraw orders or make some exceptions is also in his hands.

Are you saying I can do it and other kids can’t? The mindset is exactly like that of a devil lord.

Anyway, since it had nothing to do with me, I lost interest and nodded obediently.

“Please come back.”

After the demon king disappeared, I looked around to check the atmosphere. Maybe it was because he was the one I encountered most often out of all the people here, but the first person I noticed was Hien, who was rolling his eyes nervously while holding a seed in his arms.

‘…Even in this situation…’

It was only for a moment that the damn gardener was in sight. Just don’t think about it. It’s better not to worry about it here. I complied with the familiar command to turn away from my head and glanced at the Fairy King.

As if he sensed my gaze, he glanced at the source, checked me, turned his head, and snapped his fingers. The fairies, whom I had already seen once, appeared silently again and showed their courtesy.

“Bring me that brown liquid.”

“All right.”

Due to my previous experience, I was able to watch the entire process leading up to his disappearance without being surprised. This time, I made sure to join quickly, so there were no mistakes like before.

In the quiet space again, the Fairy King turned around without regret and saw the Mermaid Queen. I don’t know when she went in, but she was in the pond, flapping her fins and leaning her arms on the water’s edge.

“Who did this and with what intention?”

“Iknow, right. “Even if we try to suspect humans, it is questionable whether we will be able to get this far. In the first place, humans only know the existence of demons and do not know much about the existence of other races, so they are not suitable as criminals.”

“Even if you try to assume that someone in the clan did it, there is no reason to do so. “There is no situation for that.”

“There is insufficient reason to suspect the devil as the culprit. The Demon King is the type of person who uses force to suppress any dissatisfaction, and since I have now gone to kill the demon…”

“What about you?”

This is something I feel every time the Fairy King opens his mouth, but his tone is very sharp. Should I say that it makes the listener feel bad?

If I were that mermaid, I would feel pretty dirty. It’s not like I’m saying it back, but I’m saying, ‘What about you?’

‘Is that the snout that calls out to the hawk?’

It seems like fights that shouldn’t happen like this will break out…

Fortunately, the Mermaid Queen, who had a good personality like she first impressions, took his tone of voice without much attention. A calm voice came out quietly.

“I don’t have any good reason for that either. What would be the use of making monsters that can’t be controlled stronger? Even I am here. “If the monsters come all the way here, the most dangerous person is me.”

“That… too.”

“Then the rest of those here are….”

Hien and I.

Their heads turned towards me and then towards Hien. Seeing them holding moldy… or rather contaminated, seeds carefully, they shook their heads at the same time as if they were thinking the same thing.

“It’s not him.”

“I’m not a demon.”

You got rid of all your doubts right away. Congratulations, Hien.
