Chapter 300 (2/2)
“But still…The Power to Rule the World is…”
Chi-Woo responded hesitantly He stroked his chin and moved his head sideways like he wasn’t thrilled about the idea Considering the enorht Chi-Woo’s response was understandable
—Of course, I don’t think what your brother said rong You shouldn’t waste it, but I think you should use it when it’s necessary Are you just going to keep fu it around when you don’t haveto waste if you keep it unused
—And it’s not like you know everything about this tool Won’t you be able to learn more about it after you use it? If you consider all that, this isn’t a bad proposal
Philip fired a string of convincing state in response for a while He looked deep in thought, and Philip stopped speaking Philip knew that he wouldn’t be able to convince Chi-Woo once he ht that Chi-Woo had an easy and soft personality, but these days, Philip was changing his mind about Chi-Woo Chi-Woo had this firm conviction that made him resolute in e his mind
Philip knew that he couldn’t cross the line that Chi-Woo had drawn for hiood relationshi+p with him However, Philip believed he had done just that with the request It was then, after tapping his fingers on the desk, Chi-Woo got up He left without saying anything
Chi-Woo studied Eshnunna for the co and then looked back up like he was pondering about so expectantly at him, but Chi-Woo didn’t do more than that
Then, suddenly one day, when Eshnunna was on her way to visit herlate into the night, she saw that her uest It was Chi-Woo He was discussing so face-to-face The wavering candle lights lit up their profiles, and their serious expressions suggested that they were discussing so their conversation would take a while
Though she now had some extra time on her hands, she didn’t waste it As she always did, she i, and soon afterward, ice formed all over Eshnunna’s body It seelacier at this rate, but—
“…Ah”
The ice stopped forather more than they already did Eshnunna raised her head
—The root of a witch is a shaman
—In terms of the method to control ician It’s because they don’t follow a set form of rules and pursue their own path
—Of course, froician’s point of viehat everyone does uys try to control mana under set rules, but that’s not for us I icians, but have you heard the saht about what heris that you must find a mana that suits you and listen to its voice That’s the basics you must achieve Then you must make that mana wholly yours and keep it captive so that it can’t exist without you
—You don’t knohat I mean by that? The fact that you can’t understand what I’ician’s point of view and not a shaman’s
—Don’t try to wield it forcefully You know neither man nor woman finds that sort of behavior attractive
—Beware that you are a witch That means you are a woman of mana that only a very few could ever be Speak to it and communicate with it Then join hands with it and walk the saht she sort of understood what herto what she heard, but things didn’t go as she wished After she awakened her powers, she learned how to draw out her mana, yet that was it No ress than that At ti out more of her power, but every tirated into pieces She didn’t know the exact reason that happened, but she had an inkling
‘So’ She wanted to hear the mana’s voice a bit more and converse with it, but she couldn’t hear it well It was so faint that it was barely audible It was as if their hands were near, but they kept barelyto explode in frustration, but there was nothing resswas filled, but she couldn’t fill it
“…” Eshnunna weakly opened her eyes As soon as she could see, the scene froe of Evelyn talking to Chi-Woo What were the two talking about? They were probably discussing Liber’s future The ht about it, the more bitter and sad Eshnunna felt In the forest, she had at least been one of the people ho forward
‘…No’ Eshnunna shook her head ‘I shouldn’t be swayed by e one more time if she had the tiain when another voice called out to her
“Lady Eshnunna”
Eshnunna jerked her head around She didn’t knohen he had approached her, but Chi-Woo was looking down at her fro with ot up and asked
“Yes”
Support us at ReadNovelFullco about at such a late hour?”
“Well…just about this and that”
“…Is that so? Then” Eshnunna lowered her head again and made a bitter srabbed her arm In surprise, Eshnunna looked up, wide-eyed Chi-Woo had turned around and forced her to turn back to him, and the two looked at each other
“Let’s talk for a bit”
“Sorry? About what?”
“I heard that you’ve been working very hard on your training these days,” Chi-Woo said “I heard that a hero introduced a new God recently And it’s a God ill be a great help to those who specialize in htly She had heard that a faht a new God; it was a God of reatly beneficial to the current situation Of course, Eshnunna went to check out the God once she heard the news Having a progress systeot her result for this attempt
“I already tried,” Eshnunna replied calratulate you or comfort you?”
“Both are fine,” Eshnunna replied
“I suppose you were rejected”
Eshnunna shrugged “The God pondered about it a lot But they said…I was…a bit lacking…” Then she looked up at Chi-Woo and tilted her head “Are you really that curious about that?”
Chi-Woo shook his head and said, “Can I ask you one thing? It’s about Mr Yohan Sale a naer brother When Giant Fist and Mua Janya sacrificed theed couple and Yohan also stepped up to sacrifice theroup could escape froet Yohan Salem and the last words he told hi yourself so hard in your training because of your brother?” Chi-Woo asked It was a question bearing h she used to be a princess at one point in time, she was now not any different froround or anything else Even though the natives had their oork to deal with, they still didn’t compare to the responsibilities of the heroes
Eshnunna could’ve lived like the rest of the natives and led a life where her survival wasn’t guaranteed, where she had so few options that she would have no choice but to succumb to the harsh reality around her Yet Eshnunna refused to live like that, or at least was resisting it Even when no one would rebuke her if she gave up, she still undertook the risks to step into danger Thus, Chi-Woo was curious about what Eshnunna’s purpose and intentions were
Sometime later, Eshnunna finally broke the silence
“I think you are…a very consistent person Of course, I h Chi-Woo didn’t knohere she was going with this, he listened quietly
“You didn’t change You are still the sa from the forest to the border fortress and the ex-Salem capital, and now Shalyh city, Chi-Woo was always the same wherever he was He was always the first one to ju it Even from the time when he asked her for an opportunity to earn her trust and ran into a greenhouse filled with evil spirits, he had always spoken with actions before words Thus, others naturally began to place their trust in hi Eshnunna
Eshunna had so ry whenever people around her said that the legend was the best She thought Chi-Woo had put in the greatest and enuine effort for Liber’s future and had reat about a hero who spent all day doing administrative work in an office In her head, the belief that Chi-Woo was the only hero who could truly save Liber had already taken root
That hy she so period of ti had happened to hi onto would disappear if he was gone, and everything would return to how it used to be It was in these situations that made her look back to herself, especially how she stayed up all night in worry whenever Chi-Woo went sohable
Eshnunna sighed and said, “I also haven’t…changed one bit either Just recently…all I did was talk to Ms Byeok on the porch” She didn’t speak in a positive tone this ti when she said she didn’t change Chi-Woo had always spoken with actions rather than words, while all she seemed to do was blabber Eshnunna loathed this factand couldn’t bear it
“Yohan is a big reason I’ it for myself”
“For yourself?” Chi-Woo asked
“Yes, because right now…above all else…” Eshnunna glanced at Chi-Woo before quickly shi+fting her eyes elsewhere “…There are other things to consider” Unlike her usual self, she hesitated to respond
Chi-Woo blinked fast
“Of course, I won’t be able to bear all the burden on your shoulders, but…” She evaded his eyes, and her gaze suddenly lost focus as she chewed on her lower lip With her fingers clutched on her dark navy skirt, she continued, “But if you could…you should offload some of your burdens to other people… Can’t you do that?”
Her ears were as red as a river dyed by the sunset
