I'm 19 years old. It may be a short time, but I'm sure of this.
No one, no matter how old they are, has ever been hit square in the face with the burp of a lion that has eaten fifty plates of meat.
Delton, who was just standing there with his mouth wide open, seemed flustered because I couldn't control my expression, and he quickly apologized.
“Why did you suddenly stick your face in there... I’m sorry. I guess it’s because I haven’t eaten meat in a long time, but I have gas in my stomach...”
Delton approached me with an embarrassed face and carefully placed his hand on my shoulder.
He intended to comfort me, but I was traumatized by what had just happened, so I couldn't allow him to approach me.
As I stepped back as if I had covered myself in dirt, Delton muttered with a hurt look on his face.
“No, why are you so obvious...”
I'm sorry, but I'm also hurt.
I said, barely able to pull myself together, my body still trembling with shock.
“I’m sorry, but I think it’ll take some time for me to be close to Delton again. I would appreciate it if you could keep some distance from me for the time being.”
“...”
“Yes. Enough with the small talk. Now, let me tell you. What is the method you came up with?”
Delton pouted his lips, perhaps offended by my coldly drawing the line.
But I didn't waste time grumbling as if I had been hurt by something.
“Holy relic.”
“...A holy relic?”
“Yes, Hedel once said that he hid the four relics in various places throughout the world. In case something happens to him, humans will have to protect this world themselves. It’s a kind of countermeasure.”
"Oh my God!"
I was speechless with emotion.
The omnipotent God even made such a provision. What a humble and wise being he must be.
I couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the goddess Hethel.
“So where is it?”
I couldn't hide the snickers that escaped my lips as I asked urgently.
That would be the case because if only I had that holy relic, I could not only stop this damned disaster but also free myself from the Crown Prince's leash.
'This hellish nationwide car tour is over!'
I hugged my swollen chest and waited for Delton's mouth to open.
But freedom was not something that could be easily obtained.
“I don’t know that either.”
“...You don’t know?”
No, you're saying you don't know after making people's hearts flutter?
Have you ever seen such an irresponsible lion?
Delton let out a short sigh as I looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
“Look, the holy relic isn’t just a simple object. It’s an incredible object that even those without holy power can use with the help of the goddess. Would you tell just anyone where you’ve hidden such an important object?”
That wasn't a wrong statement.
Depending on whose hands it falls into, the sacred relic containing the goddess's power could either become a shield that saves the world or a weapon that destroys it.
But even though I knew that fact, I couldn't hide my despair.
“Still, you should have left at least a hint. If you do that, even if you knew about the relic’s existence, it would be of no use.”
In this vast empire, finding the goddess' hidden relics was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
'There's no guarantee that it's in the empire.'
If the scope had been extended to the continent, excavation would have been considered completely impossible.
“Ahhhh!”
That was when I was tearing my hair out in frustration.
“Don’t be too discouraged. Even if you don’t know where Hethel hid the relic, someone who knows its location will know.”
“Is that true?”
When I asked with sparkling eyes, Delton nodded with a smirk.
He looked very proud, with his plump chin raised high into the air.
But Delton's attitude only made me angry.
I screamed.
“You should have said that a long time ago! Do you want to see someone die of thirst?”
The anger that had been building up exploded because of Delton, who not only attacked with trims but also made people's clothes burst all day long.
But that rampage didn't last long.
'Why are you so wrinkled again?'
I looked at Delton, who was cowering in the corner with a frightened expression because I raised my voice just once, and touched my forehead.
'Calm down, Shayne.'
I felt like spanking that pig and saying, 'Why am I so angry?' but now was not the time to be leisurely torturing that pig.
I barely managed to calm my bubbling stomach and asked as calmly as possible.
“So who is that? Don’t just crouch there. Come here and tell me more.”
“That, that... is one of Hethel’s children..”
“Are you the child of the goddess?”
I quickly rolled my head.
There were a total of five children of the goddess known to the world.
Flame user, Beth.
Tiana, the water fairy.
Gias, the god of abundance.
Adele, ruler of the sea.
And...
'The first blessing of the goddess, Elysia.'
Unlike other children who occupy a place in nature and are revered by humans, there was little information about them.
All that is known is that she is the first daughter of the goddess.
“If there are five children of the Goddess, which one are you referring to? Beth? Tiana? Or Gias...”
“No, not all of them. They are not known to the world.”
“Huh? So there’s another goddess’s bloodline that we don’t know about?”
“Yes, there is a youngest. He is the son of Hethel and a human man, born about 600 years ago.”
“Human? The goddess had sex with a human?”
It was a very shocking story.
Not only did the Creator fall in love with his creation, he even had children with it.
Of course, it's not like it can't be done, but it's still unavoidable that it's surprising.
At that moment, when I could not hide my embarrassment, Delton opened his mouth again.
“Yes, I don’t know how she came into contact with a human, but Hethel definitely has a son with human blood. A son with exceptional abilities.”
“What kind of ability is it...?”
“Anything.”
Delton answered curtly.
“He could control anything, whether it was fire, water, or wind. All of Hethel’s children inherited their father’s abilities and each had their own specialty, but the youngest was different. Even though his father was a human with no abilities, he inherited everything Hethel had. That’s why Hethel loved him so much.”
Delton gave a thumbs up, saying, “If you look at ability alone among Hethel’s children, the youngest is by far the most outstanding.”
“Hmm, I see. But why isn’t such a being known to the human world? If he was far superior to other children, he would definitely be admired by humans.”
When I tilted my head, Delton answered nonchalantly.
“It must have been intentional. That being is staying in the human world. If his existence were known, there would be a lot of trouble.”
I raised my head.
“What did you just say? The goddess’s beloved is staying in the human world? Why?”
“Well, I don’t know because I didn’t see it myself. At the time, I was training in the cave, and all I’ve said up until now is things Hetbel came to see me and said on her own...”
Delton is getting wrinkled again.
I guess he was afraid that I would suddenly get angry and say, 'Are you kidding me?'
But this time, I had no intention of catching Delton.
'What's so important about that?'
Of course, it was incomprehensible why the son of a goddess, and one with such great abilities, would remain in the human world, but that was all.
'What do I know?'
For now, it was just fortunate that the Goddess's son was staying in the human world, so it seemed that he could be found relatively easily.
“Do you know where he is now? If you don’t know, just tell me his name. My master will take care of finding him.”
I hastily recruited Delton.
But Delton just scratched his temples, looking embarrassed.
“That’s right... I think I heard the name, but I don’t remember it at all.”
“...”
This fucking lion is real.
Why can't you remember such important moments!
I pounded my chest in frustration.
What good is the existence of the sacred relic and the source of information that knows its location if you don't know its place of residence or its name?
‘Do I really have no choice but to search the continent like this...’
As I was hanging my head in bewilderment, Delton, who had been hesitating, added in a small, uncertain voice.
“I heard... that he has green hair and green eyes...”
“Ha, green...”
I burst out laughing.
“Green hair and green eyes are so common. There must be tens of thousands of people in this empire with the same look.”
“Really? Hethel said it was an uncommon color... It resembled a fruit that grew a lot in the area ruled by the child’s father, and she praised it so much that her mouth was watering, saying it was such a beautiful color. Let me see, what was its name? Oh, what was it...”
For a moment, a strange light flashed in my eyes as I was dying.
“No way, Olive?”
“Oh, that’s right! Olive!”
I covered my mouth at Delton's immediate response.
That would be the case, since green hair and green eyes, even if they were ordinary ones, weren't that common, and green eyes that resembled olives weren't that common.
Moreover, if it is an area where olives grow in abundance...
As I was quietly thinking about it, something crossed my mind and I screamed.
“Is that darling’s name Jannety Bayen?”
Support Novellate!
No one, no matter how old they are, has ever been hit square in the face with the burp of a lion that has eaten fifty plates of meat.
Delton, who was just standing there with his mouth wide open, seemed flustered because I couldn't control my expression, and he quickly apologized.
