Chapter 82 (1/2)
King Eric
I had not seen Eric in a while, and he too had aged quite a bit
”Eric, you look really old now”
“Of course, I do And yet you have not aged at all Could you even be younger?”
”You think so?”
I asked, and Goran and Eric nodded
”Ruck, you look abnormally youthful”
They said and handed me a mirror
”I don't really see it myself… Just see, they were probably right
Eric laughed
”10 years have passed It is incredible that you have not aged at all”
“Well, he's gotten younger, if anything That's a, Ruck”
”Now that you e”
Itin the place between our di the life force through Drain Touch
I wonder if I couldoff of dimension or Drain Touch beauty tricks
As I considered this,
”It's been 10 years…10 years…”
Eric's voice seemed to crack
”What is it?”
”Wel-welco Goran, Eric too burst into tears
It was surprising, as Eric had seened co old , I explained to him what had happened in the past 10 years
While I drank the rice water that he had brought
It tasted unbelievably delicious But it was probably an effect of fasting for 10 years
My explanation went smoothly, as I had already told it all to Goran once
And in spite of hearing it for a second time, Goran nodded and listened intently
I drank the last drops of rice water as I finished usting, but it's really good”
”I see YouYou did all of that for our world while starving…”
Goran's eyes filled with tears again I think he's becoe
”And you even ended the Devil King that we failed to kill …Didn't he, Eric?”
”Indeed he did I will have to think of some kind of medal of honor”
Eric said with a serious expression
”No, I don't need anything like that”
”You don't have a choice But do not worry I a of this country”
”…You've…really come up in the world”
Eric the Hero had always been a prince But he wasn't the crown prince
I was sure he was somewhere close to fifth in line for the succession
”The for Eric for his achieve now What about you, Goran?”
”Some job called Grand Master of the Adventurer's Guild”
I was glad that they had both risen in the world
As a friend, I could not be happier
“Ruck Tell me what you wish for I can make it a reality, within reason”
”H really”
I said Eric and Goran looked a little troubled by this
”It can be anything Gold, honors? Even lands?”
”None of that really grabs me”
”Don't say that”
”Well, I really cannot think of anything Give me time”
“I see You have been between two dimensions for 10 years after all You should settle down and take the time to consider it”
After that, Goran pulled out a leather bag It was full of gold coins
”What's this?”
”Oneaside a possible fortune as your reward, you'll need living expenses until then You will be able to live for one or teeks with this much, I think?”
”That's true, no, wait …onenow could not be ignored
”Is one h?”
”No, that's not it One ht You don't know that the ed One old Do you want h
One old would allow an adult ally for a year
But that wasn't the issue here
”No, it's not about whether or not its enough… It is enough But why ruck?”
Eric looked triu I did after becoe the monetary unit”
”Are you serious…”
