Chapter 753 – 753. Gain Park Myung
753. Cain Park Myung
Ekaterina ended up staying in Veroprin. Defeated by her, Verofrine could not resist her.
Park Soo-ho woke up the next day. As soon as she woke up, she had to undergo Ekaterina’s three tests. I stepped in front of Ekaterina.
“Suho needs time to recover. I will take one of the three tests for you.”
“You? Do you think you can?”
She laughed silently. It was a laugh.
“You seem to be interested in aliens, but I am from the same Earth as Suho.”
“Are you from another world too? Well, it’s not strange considering its unusual power. Great. The first test is for you. However, if you fail, you will suffer a painful death.”
Ekaterina’s pupils shone sharply. It wasn’t just words. If I really fail the test, she intends to kill me painfully.
“Eugene hyung! I’m fine! I’ll do the test!”
Park Soo-ho urgently grabbed my arm. I looked back at Park Soo-ho. His disfigurement was not good even with empty words. More than half of his body is wrapped in bandages. He was restored using potions and magic, but there was a limit to that as well. The damage suffered and the accumulated fatigue were too great for his body to recover at once. He needs to rest for at least two more days.
“I am not doing all the exams. Only one of the exams is for me. You recover your body as much as possible. That’s for the best right?”
“…… Yes.”
Park Soo-ho reluctantly nodded his head. He fainted absurdly when fighting Ekaterina, but I was stronger than Park Soo-ho, and he was in much better shape.
Frankly, I doubt Ekaterina’s intentions. I don’t know why she bothered to test it. The most suspicious thing is the abuse. Trying to get on the road by making people realize the relationship between superior and inferior.
“Ekaterina. What is the exam about? What can I do?”
“I saw a small lake on my way to Veroprine. It’s a lake to the east of here. Bring me the jewels in the lake.”
“Jewel… ? What kind of jewel is it?”
“I know when I see it. Because it looks like a jewel to anyone. Haven’t you ever seen a jewel in your life?”
“… Could it be that?”
Although expected, Ekaterina had intended this from the beginning. Otherwise, this test is nonsense.
“You have to solve the exam by yourself and do not get help from anyone else. Until the sun goes down today. If it doesn’t come back, or if you don’t have a jewel in your hand…. Whoops. You will know even if you don’t tell me.”
Judging from the sneer on his lips, he seems to think I’m going to fail. If she hadn’t been a pretty beauty, she would have poisoned her breakfast right away.
‘I have some aphrodisiacs left. Shall I feed them? … No. It’s too easy.’
I said goodbye to Ekaterina and left the room with Park Soo-ho.
“Brother. Are you really okay? That woman must be up to something.”
“Even if I have a plan, I can’t help it. And I’m confident too. That woman is looking down on me too much.”
“…… At least bring your equipment. I’ll have to get into the water, so I’ll get you some magic tools.”
“It’s okay. Ekaterina told her not to accept help from anyone. It’s better not to get caught by that woman later.”
“Whoa…. Sorry. My brother has nothing to do with this… I dragged my brother in for no reason….”
Park Soo-ho’s face contorted with guilt.
“Don’t make that face. It’s between you and me.”
•••
Before leaving the city, I visited Park Soo-ho. He was trying to say hi to me as he was overly concerned about me.
Heading to Park Soo-ho’s room, I hesitated. The door was slightly open, and a woman’s voice could be heard.
‘Park Soo-ho is in a room alone with a woman? Does not make sense….’
I know all the beauties who stay and work in the mayor’s residence. There are a total of 4 beauties that meet my criteria, including Elisha. Although she is not as beautiful as Elisha among the other three.
“Lucia. I’m okay. It’s not as serious as you think.”
“No. The mayor needs to be as calm as possible.”
It was the first woman’s voice I had ever heard. It’s a bright and bubbly voice.
At least it’s not the voice of the beauties I know.
“I want to see Yujin hyung off. It doesn’t take long. Five minutes is enough.”
“I heard that Eugene-sama will be back around evening? It’s not like we’re parting forever, so do we really need to see each other off?”
I stepped on Yeongcheon-ryu’s steps. I killed as much as possible and went to the door. It was broad daylight, so the room was bright.
“Eugene-hyung decided to risk his life to take Ekaterina’s test instead of me. It is not right for me to remain silent.”
Carefully peered inside through the gap in the door.
I could see Park Soo-ho lying on the bed and slightly raising his upper body, and a woman taking care of him. Judging by the woman’s attire, she was a maid working in the palace.
I looked at the woman with concentration.
Dark orange hair tied back so as not to interfere with work. Small stature. I have A-cup breasts and a small pelvis. However, the skin was white and clean.
Her face was plain. She’s not ugly, but she did something to be called pretty. She was an ordinary woman who did not meet the standards of beauty.
I felt my interest wan. What was your name?
“Mayor. Please, please take care of the mayor’s body first. If the mayor is wrong… I….”
“Lu, Lucia?!”
Soo-ho Soo-ho was taken aback by her crying voice and soothed her.
“Ah Okay. I’ll do as you say. Calm down.”
Clearly, Lucia had special feelings for Park Soo-ho. However, Park Soo-ho did not recognize him.
‘Park Soo-ho is surprisingly insensitive.’
Park Soo-ho was also popular in real life. His face is normal when I see him, but I’ve heard Hunter and the girls say that Park Soo-ho is rather good-looking. The impression and atmosphere are comfortable, so it’s easy to talk to them.
Besides, Park Soo-ho has talent. As a result, Park Soo-ho said that he received several dashes from a woman of his classmate.
‘But Park Soo-ho’s eyes are fucking high.’
This is a fact that I learned while hanging out with Park Soo-ho. I don’t know if it’s because of her sister, who has a great beauty, but she doesn’t give any interest to most women. The girls Park Soo-ho is interested in are Elisha, Matilda, Ha Seung-hee…. These are all rare beauties.
“I know how much you guys think of me. Thanks, Lucia.”
“…… Do you really know?”
“Of course. I’m the center of all of you, but I acted too complacently. I felt a lot of things when I saw you.”
“…….”
Lucia looked at Park Soo-ho with slightly collapsed eyes. Park Soo-ho only had a nice smile on his face.
Let’s assume that Lucia confesses her love to Park Soo-ho here. Park Soo-ho is embarrassed but will definitely refuse. Because? Because Lucia doesn’t like her eyes.
‘Park Soo-ho. Ekaterina is mine. No, all the beauties in this world are mine. Of course, your sister too.’
I smiled coolly and quietly stepped back. And without saying goodbye to Park Soo-ho, he left the mansion.

After an hour of horseback riding, we arrived at the eastern small lake Ekaterina had spoken of.
I laughed out loud when I saw the lake.
‘Is this a small lake? Did that woman even have her eyes rotted?’
The lake seemed to be at least 2km long and was overflowing with water.
‘What the hell did they do to the lake so it’s flooding when it’s not raining?’
Water is overflowing. Besides, the current is rough like the sea. It was perfect to drown if you went in carelessly.
Squash!
Water splashed high.
“Hee hee hee hee!”
The horse jumps up in amazement, raises its front legs, and begins to run amok. Fuck! The head was struck and stunned, and the reins were tied to a tree a short distance away.
‘This lake. If you go in carelessly, you’re just fine to die. But to find a jewel somewhere in this lake? Under….’
It reminds me again that Yekaterina is a Xiangnyeon. This is a test that cannot be overcome without special abilities.
‘I don’t know if Park Soo-ho can solve it easily. Either bring modern objects, or use the tattoo’s ability to cast magic.’
I remember Ekaterina telling Park Soo-ho that she was from another world. It is clear that she was aware of Park Soo-ho’s special ability from the beginning.
‘But I’m not an ordinary person either.’
I took off all my clothes and walked to the overflowing lake. I walk my legs into the lake without hesitation. The water is a bit cold, but you’ll get used to it in no time.
‘One of my skills is the Blessing of Water.’
It can walk on water, breathe underwater, and move freely in water.
Went into the lake The water inside was rougher than it looked from the outside. But it wasn’t to the point of being unbearable.
‘You can see well. It would be right to go to the center of the lake first.’
I swam, scanning the bottom. There was only one thing I didn’t want. The jewel is not buried in the dirt. Then time is wasted twice as much.
‘Found.’
Fortunately, the jewels were not buried. The jewel was an eye-catching red ruby. Light is radiating from the center of the lake. The problem is that there is something around the gem.
‘Government ordinance… ? Ghost… ? I don’t think it’s both, but what is it?’
Something made of water There is no form, but there is a form. It comes towards me It was fast paced. Without a weapon, I used thunderbolt.
Pajijijik!
Blue thunderbolts spread out in all directions around my body. In that state, I swam to where the jewel was. It hovered around me. Because of the thunderbolt, he couldn’t attack me recklessly.
I held the jewel in my hand.
It takes damage and holds on to my body. Something like long tentacles coils around your arms, legs, and neck and pulls you to the bottom of the lake.
Fell to the floor Tentacles wrapped around my neck tensed. It seems that he intends to suffocate me to death.
‘You should have aimed to break my neck. Thunderbolt!’
Increased the output of thunderbolt. Lightning flashes all around me. And I felt the tentacles that bound me disappear.
The water of the lake became calm. I went up and stood on the surface. The water in the overflowing lake slowly disappeared and returned to its original state.
‘Yes?’
There was a musty smell.
Hundreds of electric steamed fish floated on top of the water. All the fish nearby were roasted.
‘First test. It ended easier than I thought.’
I went back to Veroprin City.
•••
“…….”
When he returned with the jewels in less than three hours, he could see Catherine’s crumpled face.
“Isn’t this a jewel by any chance?”
“…… That gem is right. Yongke also got it quickly. Didn’t you get help from someone else?”
“I solved it by myself. There was something that guarded the jewel, but when I got rid of it, the overflowing lake became calm.”
Ekaterina concentratedly glanced around at her jewelry and nodded her head.
“I don’t think it’s a lie. I’ll admit it. You passed the first test.”
“I’m glad you acknowledged it.”
“Did you think I would be forced to? I am Ekaterina Vasilinova. Admit what you have to admit.”
“No. I didn’t think so…. Sorry if you misunderstood. I’ll just go.”
I was about to back off at once. It was to avoid provoking Ekaterina.
“Stop.”
Stopped.
Ekaterina walked step by step in front of me. When she stretches out her hand, she looks at me from a distance. I’m on the taller side of her, so her clear blue eyes look up at me.
‘Looking at me like that makes me want to fall for myself.’
Ekaterina, who had been looking at me for a while, tilted her head and looked at me with a strange expression.
“It is strange. Looking back now, it’s just a wide-ranging criminal…. I’m not a criminal, seeing as I finish my exam so quickly….”
“You’re a criminal…. Do I say No matter what I look like, I am recognized as a genius in my world.”
“In my eyes, he is just a criminal. Or are you doubting my eyes now?”
“It is not. I wanted to tell you that I am not weaker than Ekaterina-sama thought.”
“Okay? Let’s check it out.”
Ekaterina smirked. A whip of water extending from her index finger wraps around my body.
“… Can’t you avoid this too? Park Soo-ho avoided this attack more than 10 times, but you….”
“You seem to be misunderstanding something. It’s not that I didn’t avoid it, it’s that I didn’t avoid it.”
