I Am the Madman of This Family

Episode 86. bring salt (2)

“Something good can happen. We often call it luck.”

“I decided to call it a scam.”

“The point is, you don’t believe me?”

The godfather did nothing.

But Keter’s head went up on its own.

The seated godfather grows in size. It filled the drawing room and pierced the ceiling. Eventually, he became such a giant that his face could not be seen even if he bent his head all the way.

But that didn’t actually happen. Keter just ‘feels’ that way.

The presence that the godfather is determined and shows. It surpassed the greatest enemy Keter had ever faced in his previous life, Daeal, Lord of the East.

An image came to mind.

The strong image that the godfather could crush me to death with just his little finger.

sh*t.

Keter laughed.

It’s not that I’m mad with fear. It was a smile of joy.

“You’re threatening me, probably because you saw that I could save Sephira without your help.”

“… … .”

“I don’t know what to do with my godfather personally encouraging me. hahahaha!”

“Whoa… … .”

The godfather’s enormous presence melted away like snow.

The godfather, who returned to his usual grandfather next door appearance, burst out laughing.

“Sorry, sorry. I should have kidnapped you and put you under me when you were just an immature child.”

“There are many people who are better than me in this world. If it’s your godfather, you’ll find it right away.”

It wasn’t humility, it was sincerity.

But the godfather shook his head.

“There are many people who are better than you. But there’s no one I like. So it is not easy to give up.”

The godfather, who had been sitting in a comfortable position the whole time, pulled his body forward.

“It is natural to doubt luck. But there are things like that in the world. If you’ve lived in liqueur, you’ve probably experienced misfortune for no reason. The opposite is also true. Luck for no reason. You don’t trust me because you’re trying to find reasons for your luck.”

“There is no good fortune or unhappiness without reason.”

“What is the reason for a sudden shower or picking up coins on the road? It’s just luck.”

“It doesn’t rain all of a sudden. There are always signs. There are dark clouds, and the tactile feel of breathing is different. Picking up coins on the street is also possible because you usually look around observantly. It is just a reasonable loss and compensation for the knowledge and appropriate choices you have.”

“You don’t believe in causality, luck and misfortune, do you?”

“no. I believe. However, I have yet to experience a proper causal rate.”

“Don’t even do that. You haven’t lived half of your life.”

Keter flinched momentarily.

Because of the flow of the conversation, I almost said, ‘I’ve lived as much as my godfather’. It is dangerous to say such things to the godfather, if not to anyone else.

However, it was dangerous not to say anything, so I answered straight away.

“Life is about quality over quantity.”

“Heh heh, as expected, you and I agree well. okay. No matter how long you live, a person who has wasted a lot of time cannot be said to have lived fully.”

“The godfather’s life looks very rich, but saving a prestigious family from ruin is also quite fun. I would like to recommend it.”

“I envy you. You are the one who can do anything. Do you know that you are the first to reject my offer twice?”

“Have you failed Godfather’s eyes since you turned down an offer you couldn’t refuse twice?”

It was not the first time that Keter had received the offer of the godfather. Even as a six-year-old boy, he met his godfather.

Even then, the godfather made an offer he could not refuse. come under you Then I will give you a safe shelter, and give you strength that no one can ignore.

At that time, Keter was living on the street. He was covered in skin and bones from not being able to eat, and was covered in scars from fighting over territory with wild dogs on the street.

It was an offer that really had no reason to refuse, but Keter refused.

“I take care of my life.”

Six-year-old Keter, who should be fooled by her parents and play house, was already an adult.

“From the moment you rejected my offer, you were already filmed.”

“You have to endure it. Isn’t that my charm?”

“That is what makes you special.”

Due to the atmosphere, Keter felt that the conversation was over.

But for some reason, the godfather’s ass still looked heavy. It meant there was still more to see.

“The proposal ends here. From now on, I want to make a deal.”

The godfather’s finger goes up.

I picked up the red cross necklace and the blood sword Dracula.

“I will sell him to me.”

* * *

Dracula, hanging from Keter’s throat, remained silent without saying a word.

However, the moment the godfather pointed it out, it vibrated and exuded a sense of presence.

[bouncer! How dare you point out the head priest!]

“Heh heh, calm down.”

The godfather drew a circle in the air with his finger. Then the vibration died down.

[This guy! I signed a contract with the liqueur. You, the priest of liqueurs, dare not intervene in this contract!]

“As I was worried about, your mouth is very light. I will be in trouble thanks to you.”

Priestess of liqueur.

Keter unwillingly found out the identities of the liqueur and the godfather through Dracula.

Liqueur was not the name of a city, but the name of a living being, that is, God.

And the title of priest meant someone who was most favored by such a god.

‘After all, this is not a city, but a god’s mouth. The godfather is the priest’s role.’

It was a shocking content, but it was just at the same level as a thunderbolt in the dry sky. I don’t know if it’s anywhere else, but if it’s a liqueur.

‘Things like that happen, too.’

Maybe other liqueurs are surprised at first, ‘Oh, that’s right. So what?’ It will be something that will be passed on.

The godfather said to Keter, who had a calm expression on his face.

“Would you sell it or would you use it? choose comfortably. I don’t want to get it by consuming the causal rate.”

Keter’s answer was intercepted by Dracula.

[Mortal. Refuse the priest’s offer. And accept my power, kill him. You will be able to become a demigod in an instant.]

“Do you think you can beat the godfather?”

[Even if he is a priest, he is still human after all. Humans cannot be my opponents.]

“Is it true, godfather?”

“Heh heh, how many more secrets will I have to hear to clear my mind? Let me count this situation.”

It was a nice word, but it wasn’t Keter who didn’t know that it was a serious warning.

Dduduk!

Keter forcibly removed the red cross from her neck, Dracula.

[What are you doing! This ignorant fool! You can’t leave the liqueur without me! Even if you have a million gold, you can’t escape this place for the rest of your life!]

“It’s noisy all the way. Godfather, can you please shut this guy up?”

“With the owner’s permission, it’s easy.”

right!

The godfather snapped his fingers, and the noisy Dracula could no longer speak.

Keter also pulled herself forward and formed a coin shape with her fingers.

“So, how much can you give me?”

“I’m going to take care of the troublesome guy you should have, so I won’t pay much.”

“I admit that too. There will be no artifacts as loud as this in the world.”

“I’ll sell it at 30.”

“Are you a lamb? Oh, sorry. Stop without me noticing.”

“If you sell it to the outside world, you will get a million. But this guy is Dracula. Vampires who want Dracula’s resurrection will pursue you, and eventually reach Sephira. Do you want even a vampire to intervene in a difficult situation?”

“That is a reasonable logic indeed. But you have to speak right. You can get 2 million, not 1 million. As the godfather said, if the vampires really want Dracula resurrected, they will try to buy it even with all their money.”

“If you have 2 million gold, you can fight a vampire, is this it?”

“They are extinct, so they are few in number, and they are enemies of all human species. When they appear, they are only hunted down. Sephira gets the honor of catching a vampire, so it’s rather an advantage.”

“Don’t underestimate the surviving vampires.”

“I don’t take it lightly. I am just confident that I will win.”

“Heh heh, I can’t deny that confidence. Then let’s do it with 400,000 gold.”

Keter held out an outstretched palm.

“Let’s do it neatly with 500,000.”

“420,000.”

“You must have more money than Queen Lillian, so could you please patronize me? 480,000.”

“440,000 is the best.”

“You have to give me 20,000 gold as a commission fee. Wouldn’t it be pretty to add 480,000 and 20,000 to just 500,000?”

“460,000. No matter how much money I have, the value of money does not change.”

The godfather attached his arm to the torso. It was a firm attitude that there would be no further negotiations.

Keter thought for a moment. If we take Dracula outside, will there be a useful corner?

Cursed weapons have limited form transformation. In other words, there is no such thing as a blood sword becoming a blood palace.

It is safe to say that there is no option to use Dracula. There was no swordsman to give, and it would take a lot of effort to find and recruit the right person.

However, selling it is also very difficult to post-process. As the godfather said, you will definitely get involved with vampires.

‘Tsk, there’s no logic to get more money anymore.’

The godfather wants Dracula, and Dracula is a nuisance to Keter.

The selling price adjusted between the two is 460,000.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t an unreasonable price.

“I will sell it.”

“Let me buy it.”

Keter holds out a red cross, and the godfather accepts it.

From noble mtl dot com

Fuwaaagh!

Dracula spews blood and makes a last-ditch effort, but the godfather’s strong grip puts him in a lethargic silence.

“I want to be paid in goods rather than cash.”

“Tell me.”

“Five thousand-year-old Mandragora roots. With the remaining money, I would like elixirs and elixirs by grade without side effects.”

There were only things that money couldn’t find. But the godfather gave a brief nod.

“All of these things are necessary for Sephira. I see.”

Finally, the godfather rose from his seat. Keter also awoke.

“The next time we meet, you won’t be able to refuse my offer.”

“If you come with a good offer, there is no reason to refuse it.”

“hahahaha.”

The godfather walked very slowly, but Keter matched it to the first floor.

Joyray, who was sitting on the table, corrected her posture and said,

“Are you done with your business, godfather?”

“Thanks to you, it turned out well. I owe you.”

“It’s an overstatement.”

From the lobby, Joey Ray served the godfather. The two left the guild without looking back.

Keter put her hands in her pockets and stared at the door the two had left.

Luke, who cautiously approached him, said.

“Keter, are you okay? That godfather didn’t seem like a human for some reason.”

“Luke. If you go through the side door over there, there’s a shelf, right?”

“huh.”

“There will be sacks of salt on that shelf. Bring some of it.”

“okay.”

Keter was speaking so seriously that Luke hurriedly ran to get a sack of salt.

“I brought it.”

“Spray outside the door. Chang Chang.”

It was Keter who did not want to meet the godfather in an ambiguous position that was neither an ally nor an enemy.
