"They said that Noanoke's dead son was crazy. He was looking for a location for Spinel, he touched a sacred tree, cursed and died."
"But they say it's all a rumor."
"What do you mean?"
"Actually, Noanoke's son was smart. At an early age, he became the chairman of the Senate. Why is he going crazy?"
I heard such rumors clearly while attending social gatherings.
'I don't know if it's true or not, but it's worth checking.'
It's fine to summon souls with Boone abilities, but it's a waste to use demonic abilities like this.
'He knows his son best.'
I decided to trust the chairman.
...***...
The next day, I put my hand on the corner wall of the corridor and looked around.
The meeting took place from yesterday and just ended a moment ago.
I saw the followers rushing out, but the chairman was yet to be seen.
'That means he's still in the meeting room.'
Sure enough, the chairman was walking from the end of the hall as expected.
I ran towards him with a happy expression on my face.
"Grandfather!"
".... Little miss, why did you come all the way here?"
"Unyuk met grandpa."
"I?" He looked at me while frowning his forehead.
"Grandfather helped Bwaine yesterday. I want to say thank you."
I said those words to him, speaking childishly as I could.
He looked at me and opened his mouth.
"No need."
"Who?"
I asked in astonishment, and she laughed.
"Kaw looks very sad, please take this."
It's the most delicious chocolate in the candy room that Duke made. I ate a lot, and there was only one chocolate left, I gave it.
"But divide the chocolate with Bwaine."
"You don't have to."
"Your mother is thin, the other grandfathers are big bellies."
"......"
"I'm worried."
Although Leblaine had cunning intentions, but he was worried because Noanoke was so thin.
The chairman's wife left the world early, and his only son also followed him last year.
Although there was a servant in the mansion, no one was maintaining his health with sincere attention.
Maybe that's why he looks so skinny.
In addition, another follower said he skipped meals because he was several times busy with meetings.
I took off the brown wrapping paper, cut it in half, and stretched it out to her.
The head's eyes glanced at the chocolate for a moment.
Immediately, the chief received the chocolate from me and spoke carefully.
"It's sweet. It's been years since I ate it. I've tasted it a few times while my son was alive."
'Yes! Tell me more about your son!'
I immediately spoke to him.
"I'm tauk. His name's Louis, right?"
"How do you know my son?"
"He's very clever. Like Henli and Isaak."
"Yes. My son entered the academy at the same age as them."
The conversation was on the topic I wanted.
The chairman seemed happy to talk about his son. No one will ask about his son.
The chairman was as terrifying as Duke Dubbede. No one wants to have a casual conversation with him. I spoke to him under the pretext of dropping off the Chairman and asking him about his son in detail.
"Henli is good at math, Isaak is good at swords. That Louis?"
"My son did geological research in college. To check the nature of the soil."
"so."
"She has no interest in family or political affairs. I don't like it. So I often force him..."
Chairman's eyes water.
Most parents who send their children to school regret it like this.
"He'll live happier if I don't force him."
I held her hand a little because I felt sorry for her.
"Tinjaded. Louis loves his father."
"How does little lady know that?"
"Because Bwaine doesn't belong to mom and dad, so Bwaine is a tauk."
I answered casually.
"If a child who has a mother and father falls, they can still call their parents. Children who have no parents cannot do it. That's so sad."
"......."
"Bwaine doesn't have anyone to miss. But Louis is. More like mom and dad than not."
I looked towards the chairman.
"Grandfather loved Louis very much, so Louis loved you too."
The hand of the leader that my hand held was tense.
'Oh, no, this is not the time.'
I have to ask you about spinel.
I waved to the chairman, who was looking at me blankly.
"Yes. He said he found a spinel burial place. It was because he had a train accident while on his way to check it out. If it wasn't for that, he'd find it."
"By the way, people say Louis boong...."
When I asked carefully, the chairman's eyes changed.
"The train accident destroyed all the data he had, and I can't prove it."
"So that's it."
"Yes, I still cannot forget the expression of my son who was happy to find the burial place of Spinel."
The chairman is the one who puts reason above emotion.
If such a person could answer firmly, he should be sure that Louis Noanoke actually found the place of manufacture.
'Then all I have to do is hear it myself from the person.'
...***...
That night.
I lay in bed pretending to be asleep, and after Lea left the room, I slipped out of bed.
I checked my surroundings.
'All right, there's no one.'
I held Etwal and said to myself,
'Boone, appear as a human being.'
Then a glimmer of light gathered around Etwal in several arches, and a wreath appeared before my eyes.
I smiled brightly as I looked with eyes full of anticipation.
"Have you waited long for this gem?"
"Waiting is fun."
He patted my cheek gently with his fingertip....
I took out the goddess tear jewel I hid in my pocket and gave it to her.
Boone saw the jewel in my hand. Then he placed the hand that held the goddess tear jewel on his forehead very carefully.
"Finally, my lord..."
'Master?'
I blinked in confusion but Boone bowed and said,
"You have granted my wish, so I will grant your wish as well. Now, what do you want?"
"Call Noanoke's son."
Boone's eyes looked at me gently.
He kissed me gently around the eyes. Right now, my head is dizzy and it hurts.
The white moonlight that entered through the window was blocked along with Boone's outline. Soon she disappeared.
[One day, little lady... When needed... Let's meet again.]
A friendly voice sounded throughout the room.
And what I see in front of me—
"Little lady, I'm here."
It was a fat man with a bald head.
'Huhuhh?'
I blinked in wonder.
I looked at him, wondering if he was really Noanoke's son. Then, he said while scratching his head.
"I'm Louis Noanoke. I'm under your orders."
"Boone, just got in...?"
"There is a very different flow of time between that place and this place. It may be a very long time for me, but maybe it's just a blink of an eye for you."
As he said so, he asked with an embarrassed expression.
"Are you disappointed? Most people had such a view the first time they met me."
"No, I'm not disappointed. I'm just surprised."
The chairman was a handsome man who had a neat appearance and an elegant atmosphere.
But Louis Noanoke had a gentle bear aura.
"You look a little different, but you look similar if I look at you more."
Louis Noanoke smiled at my words.
"thank you. But why did you call me?"
"Louis, you know very well about Spinel, don't you?"
Then his eyes immediately sparkled.
"Yes! Spinel on this continent is special. Unlike Spinel in other places, Spinel in this continent could contain holy power. I did some research to see if it was due to environmental differences. First, I compared the density of the soil, and this is very interesting!"
He then devised a series of difficult explanations. I listened to her story for almost a few minutes, and I had no idea what she was talking about.
"Just go!"
"Ah.... The habit my father hated is coming up again."
He smiled and scratched his head.
"The conclusion is that there is a Spinel mine but not a burial place."
"What?"
I opened my eyes in amazement.
"There is no place in the world where the spinel itself is buried. It's just a natural metamorphosis."
He said with three fingers raised
"There are three conditions: volcano, Elsa tree habitat, and sacred power."
"......"
"In a place that matches all three, the stone turns into a spinel with certain possibilities."
Oh God.
So you mean if you just bury the stone in the ground, you will be able to produce Spinel indefinitely?
Is this what it's like to find a mine that won't run out of diamonds?
Louis Noanoke said to me with a happy expression.
"There is currently only one undisclosed location that qualifies. On Dubbede."
'I got the jackpot.'
