Chapter 97 (1/2)
My heart involuntarily beat faster the moment I saw the words. No, I didn't understand why this was here.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is making a blank expression.]
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ says to go ahead and grab it!]
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ wants you to have Alexus’ Fork Spoon!]
This guy was making a lot of fuss. Indeed, I could understand why. From the beginning, it was Prometheus who had a lot of contact with Alexus. He traveled with Alexus, fought alongside him, and cooked with him. Prometheus had waited 500 years in the darkness for Alexus’ successor. Prometheus and Alexus were bound by a deeper bond than I thought.
“Father, this is...?” Kim Sujeong next to me seemed to notice.
I nodded. “Yes, I didn’t know it would be here.”
“Will you get this one?”
”Of course. Prometheus is clamoring. I have to get that.”
“Huhut. Then go and grab it.”
“I know.” I picked the spoon straight away.

A fork spoon made from ‘Elbaprium,’ one of the legendary giant minerals.
Alexus, former king of Atlan, was an innovative thinker who combined a fork with a spoon.
Text was written at the end of the handle.
“A chef has nothing to fear from fire.” — Alexus A.]
I felt strange when I read the item window. It was really Alexus’ item that I knew. I didn’t know I would get this here.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is looking at Alexus’ things with red eyes.]
[The fist star, ‘Raitra,’ is handing over a handkerchief.]
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is throwing away the handkerchief.]
[The firefly star, ‘Camille,’ is handing over a handkerchief.]
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is wiping his tears and blowing his nose.]
I hadn’t expected him to cry...
Kim Sujeong asked, “Do you like it? You must be disappointed because it is a spoon.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
“You know. Father is a strong chef, strong enough to use weapons, but this is just a spoon...”
“No, this is enough.”
“Indeed, isn’t it enough with your kicks? Huhut.”
In fact, I didn’t mean it that way but she was misunderstanding. Well, it was okay this way. Every member of the group picked what they wanted. Kim Sujeong picked a ring that boosted her health while Gyeonso Dragon got a pair of gloves with good attack power. Finally, Drain...
“Demit! There is nothing I like! Shet!”
It seemed there was nothing that caught his eye. I told Drain, “Just pick anything.”
* * *
After a short time, we headed back to the village of the frost orcs. We walked through the labyrinth. Drain eventually picked some small gems to attach to his clothes and ice diamonds only available here in the North Pole. There was just one problem.
“Ohh, I’d love to put these gems on my clothes. Pantasutik!”
Stupid fool. Why did he choose that one? If I knew he was going to pick this, I would’ve been watching from the sidelines and stopped him. My reason for doing this was obvious—the ice diamonds will melt as soon as they leave the North Pole.
“Hohoho. Kyutu jewels~!”
Well, he was feeling good now so I would leave it alone. I thought it would be worth seeing what Drain looked like later.
[The first apostle, ‘Prometheus,’ is shaking his head.]
This guy knew it as well. By my side, I heard Kim Sujeong sighing. “Oh, I would’ve liked to take Pono with me. It is a shame.”
“Are you that upset?”
“Yes, he’s so cute. There is a lot of affection.”
“What about Cer?”
“Cer is naturally cute! Come here, Cer!”
“Kwal!”
Cer, who had been resting in a corner of the cave, ran and jumped into her arms. Kim Sujeong’s face instantly became covered with saliva and she was laughing happily.
Then Sven asked from next to me, “Chwik. Are you leaving now?”
“Um, probably.”
“I see.”
“Why? Do you have something to say?”
“Um, that...” Sven hesitated. It seemed he had something to ask. Should I listen?
“Talk to me. It seems you have a request.”
“Um, in fact, I like to do research. Chwiik.”
“Yes., I looked at your room and this seems to be the case.”
“I can confidently say that the development of the frost orc’s civilization in the last 100 years was all thanks to my research. Of course, I borrowed parts from a nearby city but... we moved here to the southernmost point to study Murder’s blood. Based on that, I created the current poisonous needles. Chwiik.”
Mudur’s blood? Oh, was this why I didn’t get poisoned? I later found out about it but my body was now resistant to spider venom. It was due to the inner cores of the spider king and spider queen. It was also well-known from Gorba that Mudur had died from spider venom. Then his blood would naturally be full of spider venom. It wasn’t a coincidence that I was hit by the poisonous needles and wasn’t affected.
“I see.”
