Episode 144 Capitel’s Precognitive Dream
Those around me were surprised by Capitel’s words and looked at me.
“Count Yu Seo-jun, was he the one who was chosen by the elements?”
The first to respond was Camille, the leader of the Black Wind Unit.
“Yes that’s right.”
There was no need to hide it, so when I answered, he looked at Capitel with a surprised face.
“Capitel, then interest… … .”
“Camille, I will tell you.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Having calmed the uncharacteristically agitated Camille, Capitel made everyone withdraw.
“Everyone worked hard on the rough road. From now on, I will treat the guests, so let each one see what he has to do.”
“yes.”
Camille was a face who wanted to ask me a lot.
But he just licked his lips and backed away.
“Count, you… … No, I will listen to this story when I go on the road again. They will be receiving supplies from the village, so please find them when you leave.”
Ajin was about to ask me something, but noticed Capitel and walked towards the village market.
“Come in.”
The people left and followed Capitel into the house.
Judging from the people’s reactions, it seemed that it was something important to them that I was the master of the elements.
*
Upon entering, the simple structure caught my eye.
The living room and kitchen were connected without a room.
The walls of the living room were hung with various paintings and embroidered cloths.
Capitel sat down on the blanket in front of the cloth and offered me a seat.
As I sat across from her, I heard refreshments from the kitchen on a small table.
“You must have been exhausted asking if you were coming, but if you drink that tea, you will recover a little bit.”
Capitel said as she raised her teacup.
As I held the cup, the warmth was transmitted.
I took a sip cautiously.
The warm warmth of the tea traveled down my esophagus and spread to every corner of my body.
Being drowsy relieved tension.
“Really. It’s been a long time since I felt relaxed over a cup of tea.”
It was about the time I took a sip, but it was a time I felt relaxed after a long time.
Because I haven’t had a time like this because of the fight with the demons.
But, that’s it.
Being more relaxed was still a luxury.
“How did you know I was an Elementalist?”
“You must have a pretty impatient personality.”
“It’s not the time to relax, so let’s just say that.”
Hearing my words, Capitel smiled and put down the teacup he was holding.
Her movements were sluggish, so the viewer must be frustrated, but strangely, I felt comfortable.
Is this Capitel’s ability?
Just when I was thinking about that, Capitel opened his mouth.
“I am a born shaman.”
“Yes, I have heard that Capitel has been a shaman for generations.”
“If you’ve heard about him already, it’ll be easy. I always dream.”
“Then, what is your sorcery ability?”
Just as there are many different paths for wizards, there are also different types of sorcerers.
I know about shamans because I have met shaman-type hunters.
Seeing that he had dreams, Capitel seemed to be more of a precognitive dreamer.
“You have foresight.”
As if I was right, she said with a smile.
“You must be familiar with shamans.”
“I have met a shaman a few times.”
It was before the regression, but it is still vivid.
A shaman’s abilities can also be particularly effective when a team has to make a decision.
“I am a shaman with precognitive powers, just as you think. Most of us see the future through our dreams. I found out about you in a dream one day.”
“How was I there?”
I was curious.
The elements said I was the chosen one.
What would I look like in her dreams?
What will my future look like?
Can we wipe out the demons and find peace?
As she waited with little excitement, her mouth opened.
“There was you, surrounded by seven colors and shining brilliantly, but that was all. It was dark all around and I couldn’t see anything.”
seven?
Is there another kind of element?
‘Do you guys know?’
[…] … .]
I asked the elements, but there was no answer that came back.
[That’s not something we can tell you.]
The element of light said something frustrating.
That said, it was there.
However, it also meant that I couldn’t give you the right answer.
Ultimately, that’s what I need to find out.
“Then, did you know that I was the one chosen by the element only from that dream?”
“That was a great hint. And the dark surroundings began to emerge little by little as time passed.”
The stories I heard from her were like old stories I heard at my grandmother’s house during summer vacation.
“In that dream I could see. that one day you will end our long nomadic life. And to bring peace to the continent.”
“What did you see?”
When I asked, Capitel looked up at the ceiling as if reminiscing for a moment and said with a benevolent smile.
“You stood majestically in front of the burning demon castle. With seven colored elements. but… … .”
Capitel dragged the horse away, touching the now-cooled teacup.
“A precognitive dream is just a precognitive dream, and there is no guarantee that it will happen. That is why you are important.”
Hearing that, people were surprised.
At that moment, he remembered the group of nomads he met along the way.
A life where you always have to risk your life.
A life in which you have to live day by day protecting your family from the attacks of monsters.
No one likes to live such a tiring life.
There will be those who are tired.
So, for Easterners, the existence of the country might have been hope.
That’s why I had to ask this question all the more to Capitel.
“Then, do you know why I came?”
“I don’t know about that.”
I told you about what happened in the southern town of the Empire, the main topic.
“… … So, did it happen under the direction of Capitel, or was it simply planned by the thieves in the desert? Otherwise, I need to know if the demons are really plotting something by hiding in the eastern part.”
The reason I raised the issue directly was to see Capitel’s reaction.
Rather than hiding and gathering information like spies do, this was my style.
You can stick out your flippers or give false information, but that will only come out when you bump into it.
So it was right to go straight without wasting energy.
“… … The emperor must be having a headache.”
Capitel, who heard the story of the southern village of the Empire, remained silent, then opened his mouth when the freshly heated tea cooled.
“It is very regrettable, but I have never given such an order. but… … .”
Having said that, Capitel closed her eyes as if lost in thought.
“You know something about that case.”
Feeling that way from her behavior, I asked straight forward.
Then she nodded and whispered in a low voice.
“Actually, strange things have happened since I had your dream.”
“Is it weird?”
In response to my question, Capitel bit off the maids around her and beckoned her to come closer.
As I sat down next to her, she whispered in my ear.
“I never gave such instructions, but in my dream I did what you said. That’s why I’m surprised.”
“yes?!”
What does this mean?
Have you ever given such instructions in a dream?
According to the head of the border guard, the soldiers actually departed several months ago.
If so, please
“Did you not know that?”
When I told him what the chief of the border guard had told me, Capitel looked genuinely surprised.
“I will have to check this.”
As if no one had reported it later, she said it was the first time she had heard of it.
Capitel, who always had a spare moment, showed an urgent expression.
“Come on, call the tribal chiefs to gather!”
The lady-in-waiting, who had retreated at her cry, hurriedly came and said,
“You have already ordered that before, so everyone is gathered. Shall I take you here?”
“what? Did I tell you to gather the tribal chiefs?”
“Yes, don’t you remember? A few days ago, he said he had something important to say and invited us to gather.”
It was strange to go back.
It went beyond the level of simply senile instructions from an old man.
Even the energy of mana felt from Capitel was like that of young men running around.
“Can I stay by your side during the meeting?”
When I asked, Capitel nodded.
“Of course you should. of course. If the tribal chiefs are gathered, why don’t you tell them!”
Capitel yelled at the lady-in-waiting, then sat down and started chanting.
“Salaum Ataria… … .”
While she was reciting an incantation in unknown words, the tribal chiefs came pouring in.
“What the hell is this all about?”
“Ah, are you the master of the elements?”
“Why is Capitel doing this?”
The chiefs of the tribe who came inside looked puzzled as if they had heard Capitel’s story from the lady-in-waiting.
Some came up to me and asked questions.
“First of all, please sit down. As you have heard, I am the master of the elements. Capitel seems to be trying to figure out something.”
“Huh, didn’t you say it was time for Capitel to retire!”
When the big tribal chief spoke to the other tribal chiefs, they all looked displeased.
“No matter how talented your heirs are from your fish tribe, Capitel still needs to be corrected! And now that’s what you’re going to say in front of yourself? Fish tribe, be polite!”
It was a muscular, middle-aged man who entered after arguing with a large man.
“Chief of the fish tribe and chief of the scorpion tribe, please be quiet. What insolence in the abode of the sacred Capitel? Let’s wait. Capitel will give you the answer.”
Then, a young woman interceded.
“joy! If it wasn’t for the deer chief… … .”
“What if not? Are you going to hit it?”
As we grabbed each other by the collar and tried to get even tougher, the deer chief with a crumpled face shouted.
“Oh no! I don’t listen badly Do you still have to behave childishly like a child after becoming the chief of the tribe?!”
For a moment I had to doubt my eyes.
Reindeer antlers formed on her forehead, and she took in two large men.
Her sudden attack forced the two men out of the building.
“Ouch!”
Udangtangtang.
The deer chief, who easily blew away the two stalwart men, clapped his hands on his hips and looked at the other chiefs.
“Everyone be quiet until the Capitel wakes up!”
The horn on her forehead had disappeared before she knew it.
“Is it a real deer?”
When I asked in surprise, she took one look at me and said,
“You are a foreigner. Seeing you here, are you a guest of the Capitel? Would you like to support me too? Are they real horns or not?”
“No, I will decline.”
I don’t know, but it seemed like he had the ability to change shape, like Hunter Song Seol-ho, who transforms into a tiger.
Contrary to the first impression that seemed to be calm, the chief of the deer tribe seemed to have a personality.
After that, no tribal chief spoke until Capitel woke up.
The two tribal chiefs who had been supported by her horns quietly came in and sat down on their knees to one side.
‘A great charisma.’
I could feel the strong energy of mana from her body.
If I had to rank it, it seemed like it could be compared to the A-class Hunter.
“I guess there was a fuss because of me.”
At that time, Capitel opened his eyes and said.
All eyes turned to her.
“Everyone must be busy asking if they are taking care of the tribe, but thank you for coming quickly.”
Capitel, who spoke politely to the tribal chiefs, said to the scorpion tribal chief, one of the men who had been hit by horns earlier.
“Chief of the scorpion tribe, Colin.”
“Tell me. Capitel.”
“You are in charge of the overall responsibility of our allied forces. Have you ever sent an army to the Empire under my direction?”
All the eyes of the tribal chiefs gathered at Capitel’s question were fixed on him.
Depending on his answer, the matter became serious, so I swallowed nervously.
“Yes, you obviously called me separately and told me to send troops to the Empire to infiltrate it.”
I wasn’t the only one who was blown away by his answer.
“Oh, doo.”
“Capitel!”
Capitel stumbled after hearing his answer, and the deer chief ran up to her and helped her.
“What the hell is going on?”
She raised her head like a Capitel and recognized my expression as I frowned and asked me.
The other tribal chiefs were also looking at me to see if they didn’t understand the situation.
In particular, the chief of the scorpion tribe, who seemed to be the most incomprehensible, had an expression that did not know what to do.
“Capitel… … Did I do anything wrong?”
In response to his question, Capitel, who was supported by the deer chief and sat down, hit the floor with his cane.
thud!
The tip of the wand made a heavy sound as it hit the wooden floor.
Then Capitel spoke with angry eyes.
“I feel like I am being manipulated by someone!”
Her anger was directed at the empty air, not at the gathered tribal chiefs or at me.
