Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 56
EP.56
The skewer pokes through the seam of the bracelet if it is disturbed. A crack in the monotonous alchemy bracelet opened, and a gray bead dangling from the middle fell out. I picked it up with two fingers and examined it carefully.
It is certainly. Judging from its structure, it was undoubtedly a packet of clothing. However, unlike normal clothes, this was just a type that operated on its own without a biometric terminal.
Among the essence compression packets of alchemy, there are several types that work without putting them in the biological terminal.
A papyrus packet containing large bills or confidential documents.
Weapon packets that create simple weapons such as spears, swords, and shields.
Objects with simple structures that have nothing to do with the user’s physical information are often sold together with devices that inject magical power.
Among them, this is a parachute packet. It is an object used to fall slowly. Considering that this place is an abyss, it’s not at all strange that he fell with a parachute packet.
“It means something is going on. hmm.”
After applying magical power to the tip of the skewer, I scratched the groove on the parachute packet. A portion of the packet split open, revealing an empty space inside. As I shined a light inside, I flipped the parachute packet upside down and shook it.
Tuduk. A small, dispersing sound. I put the packet down for a while and looked at the things that fell inside.
“soil?”
An amount of soil that could be counted one by one, not even a few grains.
On the ground, one shovel would be able to scoop up a pile of dirt tens of thousands of times this.
However, in this place cursed by the Earth Mother, even these few piles of dirt are unfamiliar. Plain soil was hard to find in a structure built entirely of concrete.
“Was it like that?”
I rubbed the soil with two fingers. More finely crumbled soil flew across the desk.
The current situation where the uninvited guest named Finlay was sitting was not going the way I wanted.
I’ve scared Finlay enough, and by my intentions, he’s got to the point where he’s afraid of me and the Aji Regressor.
However, his attitude here was quite different from what I expected.
“Ah, Mr. Finlay. found. I have something to do, so come see me.”
“There is no time for that.”
“yes?”
“Soon the father will cough, and I must greet him first before he breathes the outside air. It is both a duty and an honor to stand by the side of the awakened blood lord.”
are you kidding me now? No, you say you’ve been dying like that since morning? Are you making excuses because you don’t want to work now?
However, after reading his thoughts, Finlay’s words were not an excuse. The priority of assisting Sijo was so high that other work was not even noticed.
There.
‘I am now the direct servant of the founder. I’m busy taking care of him, but I can’t do anything else. Suppose the founder’s attendant does chores. How much will Sijo lose face? Even if I die, I can’t.’
If anyone sees it, it might look like he’s goofing around because he doesn’t want to work, but surprisingly, this was his ‘truth’. So, Finlay sincerely believed that doing chores in itself was an act of undermining his dignity and that of his ancestors!
Heh heh I’m dumbfounded If I had the strength, I would have cut my arm first and then threatened. It’s sad that I don’t have the strength to do that right now.
“No, then who does the work? What about cooking? What about cleaning?”
“You should know about that. We, the nobility of the night, who have been given life by the great power of the founder, do not use the toilet, do not pollute the ground, do not need food or light. It only asks for blood.”
“What does it have to do with not pooping and not working? If you’re going to argue like that, you shouldn’t even drink blood. You didn’t raise that person because you gave birth to him.”
“Instead of paying the appropriate price. Because we have that kind of power and wealth.”
Wealth or power, it’s not something you have right now. What are you so proud of? While I was dumbfounded, Finlay proudly added one more word.
“Do you understand, Cheonmin?”
“you. Would you like to get punched by the military that broke the caste system?”
As I clenched my fists and threatened, Finlay flinched back.
“Keugh keugh. I am the servant of the founder. You cannot yield to external pressure!”
“The actions you take are vested interests, but the words you say are freedom fighters. what is this? The realizer of duplicity was here. Are you kidding me? Shall we separate the viscera and the skin so that they do not conflict?”
If you ask Aji, he will separate the bones, flesh, and blood very well. Biocentrifuge Puppy would come to his senses once he tasted the Death Roll. It was when I was in the middle of a threat.
At that moment, the door to the underground armory opened and a vampire appeared on top of the coffin. At that moment, Finlay’s face turned bright as if he had seen the savior.
“Sir Sijo! Did you cough!”
“Wake up, so let’s do it.”
Finlay immediately got down on one knee and greeted the vampire. The vampire beckoned leisurely, and Finlay stood up, stood like a windswept in front of the vampire’s coffin, and began shouting at me.
“Get out of the way! It is the coming of the progenitor!”
“No, what is this?”
As the large coffin approached, I had no choice but to get out of the way. An elated Finlay to attend to the founder, and a vampire perched on a coffin with a light smile passed me by.
The vampire just passed by me and spilled his words.
“Whoops. understand He seems quite excited to be assisting me.”
The vampire who actually said that was delighted to see me in trouble.
I’m so full of energy that I can’t even close my mouth. While I was idly by, Finlay exclaimed loudly, thrilled.
“Sir Sijo! Where would you like to go!”
“It is the 4th floor. I will tell you where I often go.”
“I will serve you!”
That’s how the Blood Lord and his followers moved slowly and arbitrarily.
Even after that, Finlay would get caught like a pebble on the side of the road.
“Athirkanjaka trainee.”
“Ugh! How can you give the progenitor’s name a look-down title of a trainee!”
“ha?”
“It became Finlay. I am a body that lacks the knowledge of this age. Since we need his knowledge, it is not wrong to say that he is a trainee.”
Finlay immediately stopped talking and knelt in front of the vampire.
“I’m sorry! The meaning of the sijo is so deep that I couldn’t bear to feel my shallow fatigue!”
“It happened. I will talk to the instructor for a moment.”
“We follow the will of the founder!”
As Finlay prostrated himself and retreated, the vampire gracefully donned a parasol and said,
“okay. What are you going to say?”
“What do you mean? I heard that the Tyrkanjaka trainee called me?”
“iced coffee. It was.”
The vampire snapped his fingers. And at that moment, Finlay collapsed in the same prostrate position. The vampire who stole Finlay’s consciousness in a single moment approached carefully.
“It will be noisy if Finlay sees it, so I put him to sleep. He will not even know that he is asleep.”
The originator’s Blood Sculpture is at a level where he can perfectly control even the blood of other vampires. It is also possible to disconnect consciousness for a moment and reconnect it.
The vampire who had silenced Finlay looked around for a moment and then cut his own breast with his fingers. Then he quietly leaned towards me and whispered softly.
“It’s a bit rare these days. Come on.”
“no. In the meantime, just do what you like…”
“You can’t show him this.”
something i don’t like There is no particular reason for refusal. Feeling a sense of trembling, I brought my finger to my heart.

“Instructor! The progenitor asks where today’s discourse takes place!”
“Eh? I was not going to do it today.”
“Ugh! A person claiming to be an instructor is being lazy! If you are a worker of the country, do your duty!”
“…”
“Hmm! I will go to see the founder!”
Leaving behind my stinging gaze, Finlay strode away.
This wasn’t just my job. Coincidentally, the regressor was walking and saw Finlay and called him over.
“There, a vampire. stop the action What about Tyrkanjaka?”
“Ugh! Where do you call the founder’s name carelessly? A kid like you can’t even follow the footsteps of the progenitor in terms of position, age, or ability! In that case, you should take care of yourself!”
The regressor, who was suddenly scolded while walking, pursed his lips for a moment as if he was embarrassed, then replied with a cold mouth.
“…no. okay. then i ask you It’s a question from last time. How are you bottomless?”
“Ugh! cheeky! Do you not understand even if I say it back and forth like this? Take care of such trivial questions! I am busy serving the founder!”
After Finlay said that, he immediately turned around and walked away. The regressor looked at the back of it, then raised his hand and grabbed the cherry tree.
“…I’m going to cut it. Don’t dry it.”
“If you’re going to chop it, please cut it into cubes and diagonal slices. The largest piece is smaller than the drain screen. Otherwise, it will be difficult to throw it away.”
Of course, they couldn’t attack Finlay, who was protected by the vampires. The regressor was refraining from doing anything against him after hearing a word from the last vampire, and I was weaker than Finlay.
In the end, the regressor and I had no choice but to watch Finlay drift away.

“Eat deliciously. Don’t spill it.”
“bruise!”
It was when Aji was enjoying his meal. Aji, who is infinitely kinder in front of the table, suddenly showed his teeth and growled.
Normally, I would have been intimidated by his aggressive attitude, but now I’m used to it. The only reason Aji suddenly felt uncomfortable was when Finlay came to visit.
“Adventure! adventure!”
I even heard a thought from the other side.
The fishy smell of blood came first. Soon after, Finlay entered with a solemn face, looked around and clicked his tongue.
“Tsk. There are not enough celestials here to offer blood. I have to offer blood to the ancestors. There is no one to offer blood.”
It was what I was told to hear. That madman came to me with a human-like atmosphere to prepare a snack for the vampire.
It is so disgusting to think that if you ask for it, of course they will give it to you. Shall I give you a scolding?
He stroked the growling Aji’s head and whispered into his ear.
“Ah. Would you like to bite that?”
“Grrr.”
“Wait a minute! stop! I’m here to make a fair deal!”
Feeling threatened, Finlay hurriedly stretched out his hand. I stopped Aji, who was about to run out immediately, with the mind to listen.
“Wait, Aji. Because even a vampire like that needs words to leave on the tombstone.”
“I’m here to make a deal! This is for the progenitor!”
“It might be your will, so think carefully about it. What else?”
“It is about blood. I demand that you, the people of heaven, pay blood to the founder.”
“With your bare mouth?”
“Of course not.”
said Finlay arrogantly, playing with his mustache.
“In the Mist Principality, where the lowly people and the nobility of the night live together, the lowly people pay for the blood they gave. It’s about ten times the weight of normal blood.”
“Ah. Aren’t you curious how much meat will come out if you cook that body?”
“Wait a minute! but! Because blood is precious now! I will pay you ten times the weight of your blood in silver!”
Ten times the weight of blood? It’s worth thinking about that level of silver screen. I changed my attitude in an instant.
If things don’t go well, prepare more money. Isn’t that what economies of scale are?
“Hello, customer. Welcome to the blood bank. How are you going to pay?”
“I will write you a promissory note, so when you go outside, take it from the Fog Principality.”
“Didn’t you hear?”
“Are your ears blocked? He said he would write a note.”
what are you talking about note? Even if you give it in real life, is it not enough?
no more than that
“How can a human go to a country of vampires and visit a bank there to get money with just one bill?”
“That’s none of my business. Why should the nobility care about the affairs of the common people? It is your job to collect the money.”
A vampire who sincerely says so. You mean you just want to throw a blank check?
After thinking about that for a while, I ordered Aji.
“Ah. kick it out and go But don’t kill me.”
“Whoa!”
“Aagh! Dog King! stop! I am the eponymous Kuk!”
Aji barked fiercely at Finlay, who was running away, and chased him outside the building. He grilled another piece of meat for Aji, who returned with a proud expression.
However, this did not solve the fundamental problem.
