Chapter 480 – [A Guide for Transcendents Traveling in the Post-Apocalypse]

Inside the cryo-sleep machine, between the swarming ectoplasm, the person I could see was a woman of about the same age as Ruri. She’s a high school student, or is she just a grown-up child?

She wasn’t on the same level as Shion, but compared to the people here, she was a fair-skinned woman. She is quite pretty, but not a great strength.

I’m a little concerned about her necklace, which emits only a small amount of power. She’ll ask later what that is.

“Uh, uh…”

She wriggled and moved her body. She must have been asleep for a very long time, but it is natural that her body is not normal no matter how much she uses her spirit-related skills.

Staggering to her feet, she muttered with her dimly opened eyes.

“Mu, cry…”

Quite a language Even though the language also changes after a long time, there was no problem with communication.

“Ruri, it seems that the language is communicative, but please give me the water you brought.”

“Okay”

Ruri took out the water bottle she had brought and lightly held it to her mouth to make her drink.

At first, it was at the level of licking or licking the lips, but as time passed, the amount of drinking increased. After a while, she was able to come to her senses.

“Ugh, it’s the head…”

“Are you feeling better?”

“…That’s rude. You know who I am and you dare to speak like that? No, who are you in the first place?”

“Looks like he’s a bit of a high-ranking person. You should have figured out the current situation.”

Even at a glance, it seems that he was in a high position before the destruction. Unlike Shion’s pretty silver hair, the white-haired girl’s hair was beautiful rather than bleached, and her eyes were turquoise like jewels.

Besides, elegance is seen in his actions. That is a grace that only those standing on top can see.

It is not the dignity of a person like a president in an earth where the status system has been abolished, but it seems like a natural dignity or charisma that would be seen in a royal family who has reigned over others for generations.

“I’m a rude person. I am Emperor Baek-hee. I am the current Crown Princess of the Empire and I am the one who will inherit the Empire. If you didn’t know, I’ll allow you to apologize even now, so keep your head down.”

“What? Empire? You’re saying something funny! You Empire went to America!!!”

“What are you talking about?”

“There’s a lot to talk about. First of all, we woke up after a fucking long sleep, so why don’t we eat?”

It was time to eat anyway, so I decided to eat something soon. Even if her body looks healthy, she will be sluggish on the inside, so she…… So, did you say Baek-hee, the King of the Kings? Anyway, for her sake, she decided to make her lunch something that was easy for her to digest.

Rice bought from the city, a little bit of meat, and no seasoning are boiled in a pot to make porridge.

It’s all unfamiliar ingredients, but thanks to my ability ‘sense’, it’s very simple to catch the timing. Just one last touch here and you’re done.

Emperor Baek-hee was uncomfortable, but didn’t say anything until she ate, perhaps feeling hungry.

After scooping up a few spoons of porridge, she spat out a word.

“The ingredients are simple, but the workmanship is excellent. It is a skill comparable to that of Taeryeong Suksu.”

“I’m grateful for that compliment”

It’s nice to receive compliments for being good at cooking. She emptied her bowl of porridge clean before she knew it and finished her meal.

It’s time to ask each other questions while digesting. Of course, we ask first.

“I said earlier that it was an empire. What kind of empire are you talking about?”

“Well, of course, is there a separate kingdom? There are no people who are not the subjects of the empire on this land, so how can you call yourself a human being if you don’t know that?”

“Looking at the old-fashioned dissing of a country boy, I think it’s true that he’s a real member of the imperial family…”

“Are you going to confirm it there?”

Soon after, she asked us. No, to be honest, she’s put up with it so far, she probably has a lot to ask of her too.

“Then I ask also. Who are you?”

“I’m the worst. Next to me is my wife Shion, this is the wild dog Ruri, next to Jinkyo”

“I’m not asking that. I’m asking you who don’t even know the name of the empire.”

“It’s an empire, it’s a Nabal, and the civilization has all been destroyed, but there is no Ali. Did you even know that there was an empire before the destruction in the first place?”

“What?!”

She growled, revealing her anger.

What she said was frank on my part, but to her it could have sounded like an insult to her.

“What’s the last thing you remember?”

“Last thing I remember?”

Brings back memories from hundreds of years of the past. Her pupils, which had been staring blankly into space, began to tremble slightly.

“Suddenly, the subjects caused a riot, and in order to avoid it, my maternal grandfather…Yes! Maternal grandfather! Where is my maternal grandfather!”

“Are you talking about the mummy over there?”

We showed her the mummy we saw earlier. It’s just the corpse of her stranger, but she seems to remember who he was.

Baek-hee shed tears and caressed the corpse that was about to be mummy.

“Ah… Maternal grandfather. How can you be in such a miserable state…”

If he was a maternal grandfather of the imperial lineage, he would have had the most power, but in the end, when he dies, all that remains is his corpse.

What’s more, they couldn’t even hold a funeral and were left in these underground facilities. The heart may not know if it is not the person concerned.

In the first place, even if she couldn’t do it, the time of hundreds of years had become a wall. Just as her people in the Joseon Dynasty and her people in the 21st century cannot understand each other, we cannot understand her.

Soon after she stopped crying, she spoke to us. No, she ordered.

“Collect the remains of my maternal grandfather. We will hold a funeral.”

“That’s cancer? We’re not your subordinates, nor are you subjects of the Empire? Why don’t you behave a little differently?”

No one moved except Jin-kyo, who flinched at my words while trying to move. You’d guess at the point where giving orders to others came naturally, but there was no reason for us to listen to her orders.

Baek-hee, who was thinking about it, spoke to us in a trembling voice.

“If you help recover the remains of my maternal grandfather, I will reward you later.”

“After the order comes the proposal. After that, is it the turn of negotiations?”

“……What do you want?”

“Why don’t you throw away the suspicious bottle and come? No matter how much of a bastard I am, I’m not such a bastard that I want something in return in front of the person who saw my grandfather’s death. I’ll have to change your attitude of trying to make a simple favor or settle it with a deal.”

I’m not arguing with her for nothing. Being that type of person, I want to imprint the current position and situation.

The person he sees above always tries to suppress rather than coax. It was obvious that if he didn’t change that attitude clearly from here on out, he would think of himself as superior to us.

To put it simply… How long are you going to keep touching a dead person’s mouth?

“……I want to enshrine the remains of my maternal grandfather. Please help me.”

“Great”

In a way, it was the most expensive price. I don’t know how much authority she might have, but if she was called the crown princess, she would have broken the pride of someone in that position.

We prepared again to go up to the ground. Originally, I came to find a treasure, but I ended up looking for a person, not a treasure.

Anyway, I flew up the shaft again with one person and a corpse. Seeing me naturally exerting myself, Baek-hee asks in surprise.

“I thought he was a sorcerer, but was he a sorcerer?”

“Let’s do it roughly”

Those of us who came to the surface got out of the ruins.

The guards standing guard outside were concerned, but they covered Baek-hee’s face with the cloak they had, so they were only interested in the corpse we brought, but didn’t interfere much.

Even so, when I told them that they would make an offering in return for taking the equipment of the dead wild dog from the ruins, they smiled saying that it was a good thing. Although it is half a mockery.

“How is the nature of this area so rich…”

“This planet has been a mess for a long time. The only forests are those raised by nobles. I haven’t lived very long, but I haven’t seen a single tree, let alone a forest.”

Trees need plenty of land and water to grow. However, those two conditions are difficult to achieve on this planet.

What is taken for granted in a place where the natural environment is normal should be taken for granted here as a paradise. It is also proof that this star is broken.

“What are you going to do with the remains? It would be meaningless to bury them in a place with nothing but sand, and the better place is not enough to grow food for people.”

“Let’s put on makeup. Can you do it?”

“Easy”

I triggered the Samadhi evolution and burned the mummy. Originally, it was used to burn something like paper, but if you have a high level of internal energy, burning a human corpse is not a task.

Completely burned in an instant, only bone powder remained, and the remains were scraped together. I took out an unused box from the drum box and stored the bone meal in it as an ossuary.

“Grandfather…”

Baekhee, holding the ashes in her arms, decided to leave it alone for the time being. Giving her a whole room on her drums, we talked about her in her captain’s room.

If there are four people in each captain’s room in a very narrow ship, it’s quite cramped, but shouldn’t we give a significant number of people quiet time to think?

“It’s a funny situation, but it’s a matter of what to do.”

“A noble from the very past… Isn’t that also a noble from before the destruction?”

“Before the destruction? Then what are the nobles now?”

“They are all descendants of them. Even worse, they are sons. Therefore, nobles who have seen the pre-destruction are very rare. The northern nobles who are after me, and the Jaeho Yugwi are among them.”

“Are you going to take me anyway?”

“Drum Ho’s capacity is six.”

“I’ll listen to the story that I can burn one more in the future.”

“Looks like you’re ready to take Shion sister with you, right?”

“Because I became interested in the technology before the destruction. I wonder in which direction the technology related to spirits has developed.”

“Hanon’s unique desire to collect skills seems to be growing rapidly.”

Anyway, the conclusion is that it is good to take it.

First of all, he knows the situation before the destruction and is a high-ranking person, and there are many benefits to be gained by having him.

Considering the loss… At the point of helping Ruri who was being chased by nobles in the first place, there was not much more loss than this.

“We have two purposes. One is to find out the cause of the world’s destruction. This is actually a goal that can be achieved or not. The second most important is to find or create a paradise, Yuto.”

“And the key to that, Ruri, is the Yeouijoo you have.”

“It seems that the imperial family of the empire before the fall knew well about that item.”

Knowing information that we don’t know is a very big merit. Besides, when I saw him, he had the ability to be used as an individual.

If this wasn’t a world where women’s abilities were exceptional, in the end there would be a difference between women and men.

“And what if there’s a problem?”

“Then what to throw away?”

“Like you’re throwing away the nobles…”

“Do you twist it? If you twist it… You know?”

“Oh, no. Keep talking.”

First of all, we decided to take a look at Baek-hee. They ask what they know about Yeouiju and try to get information about it.

After some time, Baek-hee, whose sadness seemed to have disappeared, came out of the room. She was courteous and thanked us.

“Thank you for helping me recover my grandfather’s remains. But besides that, we have a lot to talk about, so let’s talk about it.”

“Can I ask you something first? Do you know Yeouiju?”

“You mean this?”

Baekhee showed off her own necklace. There was a small bead the size of her 500 won coin embedded in her, and that was the source of her insignificant power that I felt when I first saw her.

No, but that’s Yeouiju?

“Yeouiju is a power source and a terminal that reveals its location at the same time. It is a device that can fully use the functions of a mansion with just this small thing.”

“Then, is Yeouiju not just one word, but a general term?”

Then, is the one that Ruri has as well?

But it’s really big, and even Shion said it could cover a city with one. Wouldn’t it be better if the heir to the imperial family carried only the mansion?

“Ruri, take that out and show me.”

“Are you okay?”

“An expert must see it to make a judgment. Will it be useful for us to see it?”

Soon after, Ruri took out the Yeouiju we had from her storage and showed it to her.

Then, Baek-hee’s reaction was shocking, so she was shocked enough to reveal her anger, and she screamed so much that she wondered if she was having a seizure.

“No!!!!! Why!!!!! Do you guys have the Noble Jewel that has been handed down only to the Emperors of the Empire for generations!!!!!!”

“Ruri stole”

“I didn’t steal it!!!!!”

I said before that Ruri stole something amazing, but I’ll correct it.

Ruri stole something awesome.
