The Prince Wants To Retire

2. contract (4)

As Kariel left the old librarian behind and left the Imperial Palace Library, he saw Tarion waiting for him with a man at the entrance.

“majesty.”

“Is it interest?”

The man standing next to Kariel’s question took a step forward.

“I am called Totora, a knight of the Imperial Palace.”

“nice to meet.”

After saying hello to Toto, Kariel looked around.

And while he bowed his head, he clicked his tongue as he saw the servants who glanced at this place.

“Let’s go to the palace.”

“Yes.”

Tarion and Toto bowed their heads in response to Kariel’s command.

And soon the carriage moved and headed straight to the Crown Prince’s palace.

Tharion and Toto and other attendants made fun of their busy steps following the slow moving carriage.

“Yeah, do you know the body well?”

After arriving at the palace, Kariel sat on the bed and asked Toto.

“Yeah, if it’s a body, I know it better than anyone in the Empire.”

Tarion shook his head at his confident voice.

As he spoke, his muscles wriggled, and he put on an expression that he saw something he couldn’t see.

But Kariel was satisfied.

“Then ask. How is my condition now?”

“… … Can I be honest with you?”

“Tell me.”

“It is the worst.”

Toto honestly replied to Kariel’s permission.

The muscles are not good, and even the minimum physical strength for exercise has not been formed.

However, because of the raging fire, there was no sign of vigorous exercise.

To make matters worse, the drugs to suppress fire were also having a bad effect on the body.

“At this point… … There is no way to recover Your Highness’ body.”

“How can I just take a quick look… … .”

Kariel held up her hand to stop Tarion from getting angry at Toto’s words.

“Thank you for your honest opinion.”

While saying that, Kariel rested her chin on her face and stared at Toto.

In his view, Toto was not just an oddball.

I really felt that I was an expert when it came to the body.

‘It’s hell.’

Looking at Toto, who instinctively showed off his muscles, Kariel smiled.

“I know very well that there is no way to recover the body in its current state.”

Kariel smiled wryly as she said that.

It was a method that I couldn’t find in the end, even though I had searched so hard in my previous life.

“But what about this?”

Saying so, Kariel took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

Then, he unfolded the folded paper and handed it to Toto, who carefully took it with both hands and read it calmly.

Seeing that, Kariel added.

“Ancient Werewolf Mana Usage. It’s called rigid body art.”

Hearing Kariel’s words, Toto immediately raised his head in amazement.

“It’s amazing, how to use mana purely to strengthen the body… … . But the limits are clear.”

When Toto said that, he had a slightly sad expression on his face.

The ancient ways to use mana were surprisingly strange, but that’s all.

Compared to the current mana utilization method that has been developed through the ages, the efficiency has fallen.

“Compared to modern mana refining methods, the efficiency may be less than one-fifth.”

At Toto’s words, Kariel smiled and nodded his head.

The efficiency of the mana aging method alone is less than half, but the efficiency is lower as it is an ancient one.

However, efficiency didn’t matter to Kariel.

“But what if it applies to me?”

Toto’s mouth shut at Kariel’s question.

A lot of wasted power was no problem for Kariel.

Rather, if you can dissipate firearms to the outside and waste them, your body condition will be better.

Besides, what if the body is strengthened even a little bit in the process?

“Wouldn’t that be the best result for me?”

“… … It seems so. However, I do not know what danger there may be.”

When Toto said with a worried expression, so did Tarion, who was next to him.

Unless it was a mana refining method, the risk was too great.

But Kariel’s will was firm.

“It is something that has already been decided. All you have to do is to make a plan for me to recover my physical strength according to this when I learn this and make the minimum physical condition.”

Toto put on a worried expression at Kariel’s firm words, then bowed his head heavily.

“I will do my best to create a workout plan for Your Highness.”

“Don’t expect it.”

Kariel nodded and sent Toto away. Then, with a smile, I looked at the paper with the rigid body technique written on it.

“Tarion.”

“Yes!”

“From now on, stop anyone from coming.”

Tarion hesitated at Kariel’s command and opened his mouth with difficulty.

“Sosin will help you.”

“No, I do it alone.”

Tarion, who has learned the mana refining method, is not very helpful in the mana aging method.

In that case, it was better to do it alone.

He took risks and made several attempts to heal the beggar’s body.

They injected drugs directly into the body, and experimented with the body to forcibly strengthen the body.

‘Compared to that time, the mana aging method is nothing special.’

As Kariel thought about it, he felt a sense of fire.

It has been a year for others to feel mana, but Kariel felt the presence of fire as soon as he was born.

Considering that less than 20% of the people of the Continent are talented in mana, Kariel was literally blessed.

The problem is that excessive blessings have become poison and have turned into a curse.

“ね!”

Just by trying to control the fire, the guys went crazy and started to run rampant.

He’s been with me since I was a kid, so I’ve already tried several times to move according to my own intentions.

But every time it happened, he ran wild and broke his body, but this time was no different.

“Cool!”

The moment his internal injuries got worse and he vomited blood, Kariel poured the potion left behind by Tharion into his mouth.

Then, along with a gulp, the potion began to heal the inner wound. After the internal wound had healed to some extent, Kariel immediately moved to control the fire.

‘Spread it. Spread! Spread!’

As Kariel thought that to himself, he longed for the fire to spread throughout his body.

Then, the firearm restrained near the heart began to move little by little.

The topic that was suppressed by drugs and magic suddenly spread throughout the body, and the firearm hesitated.

As if he couldn’t trust Kariel, he was wary of firearms.

As I continued to soothe him and gradually spread it from the heart to the whole body, the firearm was about to explode from the heart to the whole body.

thud! thud!

Watching the firearm strike the manamak surrounding her heart, Kariel cautiously removed the bracelet.

At that moment, the firearm that had been suppressed by magic began to spread explosively throughout the body.

‘Most firearms are dormant with drugs. It’s worth it.’

Cariel thought that way and used the firearms that swirled around his body.

Part of the firearm was hit directly into the muscles of the body.

I didn’t do any cumbersome things to make a mana hole, and when I let it sit as it is, my whole body started to heat up.

gulp!

After pouring another bottle of potion into her mouth, Kariel once again imprinted a part of the firearm on her body.

Then, when his skin became red, he poured out the last remaining potion and put on the bracelet again with trembling hands.

The additional fire that was about to come out was then trapped within the membrane created in the heart.

“Ugh… … Ugh… … .”

Kariel lay down on the bed in a cold sweat.

“It sure is crazy.”

Kariel looked at her body with a painful expression.

I realized why humans didn’t use the mana ripening method.

The risk was too great.

“Huh, this is not the time to be like this.”

Kariel forced his reddened body to stand up.

Unlike the mana refining method, the mana maturation method strengthens the body from the beginning, so it had to be done with the martial arts or techniques passed down to each race.

It feels like fitting in to use the skills of each race.

Conversely, in the Mana Refining Method, swordsmanship and martial arts are additional.

For humans, swordsmanship is nothing more than a means to utilize mana more efficiently and more powerfully.

But Kariel had to move like a monster.

“Turn it off!”

With a trembling body, Kariel recalled the most basic movement she had seen in an old book and followed it exactly.

Movements like exercise.

Through the movement that stimulates each muscle, the movement that allows mana to settle in the muscle more easily made even the firearm that had not yet established itself settle throughout the body.

“Turn it off… … .”

It seemed like her whole body was screaming, but Kariel sat down after finishing the basic movements.

“Get on, Tarion!”

bang!

“majesty!”

Hearing Kariel’s call, Tarion hurriedly ran and immediately supported Kariel’s body and laid her on the bed.

“You were overdoing it.”

Tarion frowned at the bloodstains on the bed.

Even now, Kariel’s trembling body showed how much he was overdoing it.

“… … It worked though.”

Kariel smiles despite the pain rising all over her body.

Seeing him like that, Tarion sighed and shook his head.

I thought I wanted to stop it, but I couldn’t.

Kariel, who had suffered all her life, finally found a way to cure the dreaded disease.

Therefore, he was unable to stop his master from moaning in pain and had no choice but to suffer.

“… … I’ll call Toto right away tomorrow.”

“I need to practice more. It’s not fully settled yet.”

“If you’re a guy, you can take that into account and find a way to fix it.”

When Tharion said that he could never back down this much, Kariel smiled bitterly and nodded his head.

Knowing that he was genuinely worried about him, he had no choice but to listen to him.

Following his words, who sacrificed his life for himself in his previous life, Kariel did not insist on being stubborn and immediately fell asleep.

‘sun… … paid.’

Kariel smiles at the thought of having accomplished it even while falling asleep.

Looking at him like that, Tarion also smiled softly.

“You worked hard.”

Tarion blushed and quietly withdrew from Kariel’s room.

The next day, as soon as the sun rose, Kariel called Toto and began researching the ancient werewolf’s rigid body technique.

Was it thanks to the fact that the firearm was imprinted to some extent even if it was overworked the day before?

Kariel demonstrated the ancient Werewolf’s rigid body technique in front of Toto with a much lighter body, and Toto, who saw it, immediately taught the exercise method to support the basics of rigid body technique.

After loosening up the body with light stretching and increasing muscle strength with light exercise, it was possible to practice basic rigid body art.

one week.

In the meantime, Kariel focused all of her time on strengthening her physical strength and training in rigid combat with the help of Toto.

“after… … after… … .”

“You can move much better than before.”

“you’re right. I am seeing it with my own two eyes, but I cannot believe it.”

Tarion and Toto applauded and gave strong praise whenever Kariel did something.

“Don’t make a fuss.”

“no. It has improved a lot.”

“That’s right.”

Toto said, while Tarion nodded his head vigorously as if he was right.

As the two of them said, Kariel’s body had changed a lot.

Unlike in the past, when it was difficult to even walk, now, the condition of my body has improved to the extent that I can digest even a fairly strenuous exercise.

“Is this enough to survive even if the fire is amplified?”

“To what extent does it matter?”

“Two to three times the level?”

At Toto’s words, Kariel tilted her head and said.

“If that’s enough… … .”

“Well… … Still, don’t overdo it… … . I don’t know what you’re going to do, but you’ll have to wait a little longer.”

Tharion said worriedly, but Kariel shook his head.

There was no time.

It was reported to Tharion that rumors about his palace had already begun to circulate.

In addition, rumors that Kariel wanted to part with the Imperial sect were also spreading beyond the Imperial Palace to the capital.

It was necessary to finish Surt’s contract before it happened and move on in earnest.

“I’m going to the Imperial Palace report right now.”

At Kariel’s words, Tarion opened his eyes and asked.

“Now?”

“okay.”

As if not to allow any objection, Kariel immediately walked out into the wagon.

“Sir Toto, you worked hard today.”

After sending Toto away, who was following him, Tarion reluctantly moved the carriage towards the Imperial Palace Treasury as he got on the carriage.

“I will see you, Your Majesty… … .”

“I’m going to report. Just watch and come out like before.”

“Yeah, do it.”

Cariel entered the palace looking at the imperial palace after passing through the trembling response.

Cariel, who reached the second hall at once, received the shadow’s greeting with his hand, and headed straight to the cursed room of the warrior.

At that moment, a blue flame was created, repulsing the stinking curses around it.

Kariel headed straight to Surt along the path made by the blue flames.

– I thought I was going to die of boredom waiting.

“Can’t you just wait a few days after sleeping for thousands of years?”

Saying that, Kariel looked at Surtur.

Then he smiled and said.

“Let’s make a contract.”

Surt looked at Kariel’s body for a moment after he was silent.

– Amazing. What did you do to change like this?

“Well?”

Kariel smiled and looked at Surt and said.

“Are you going to sign a contract or not?”

-Yes, let’s do it.

Surtur nodded as if he had lost.

At that moment, the blue flame and the firearm emitted by Kariel merged and began to emit bright light.
