Three Meals of a Reincarnator-Chapter 250

Chapter 250: Chapter 250

***

The elder closed Ellen’s door and kriked his teeth as he walked down the hall.

It was true that the ancient document never belonged to the dark elves, and it was also true that some of the dark elves’ tradition was ingrained into it, so it was hard to accept an intruder plundering the ancient document without their consent.

He wasn’t going to just let this happen.

The elder thought of the outsider’s face as he walked quickly down the hall.

***

“Ho Sung,” Min Sung called as he walked out of the shower.

Ho Sung Lee, who was giving Bowl a headlock, immediately sprung up and ran over to Min Sung.

“Yes, Sir.”

“I’m hungry. It’s time to eat.”

“Yes, Sir. Shall I pick the menu?”

“Yeah.”

Ho Sung Lee nodded and immediately headed out to prepare a meal.

At the same time, Bowl excitedly followed Ho Sung Lee at the thought of helping him out.

Ho Sung Lee set up the table and contemplated on what to make.

He then thought of something, but it filled his head with anxiousness.

Ho Sung Lee looked at Min Sung before he made his decision.

“The meal comes first.”

Ho Sung Lee took out the frying pan.

***

“The meal is ready.”

“Already?”

Min Sung sat down at the table and picked up his spoon.

Today’s menu was omelet rice.

The fried rice was wrapped in a yellow covering, and on top of it wasn’t ketchup, it appeared to be pork cutlet sauce.

Since Min Sung only remembered eating omelet rice with ketchup, he was extra excited to try it with a sauce he had never tried before.

Woong Jang’s recipe.

Considering Ho Sung Lee’s improving cooking skills, he was certain he would not be disappointed.

As soon as he poked it with his spoon, the egg softly cut in half and presented the hot fried rice within.

Just the look of it made him gulp.

Min Sung rubbed the sauce all over before putting some egg and fried rice into his mouth.

Om nom, om nom-

‘This is delicious!’

He felt as though exclamation marks were exploding inside his head.

The fried rice was sweet and savory.

The scent of the egg was lively, but it was surprisingly also soft.

And the taste of the sauce was the cherry on top.

“How does it taste?” Ho Sung Lee asked with nervousness.

“It’s very good.”

“That’s a relief. Um, Sir. I need to go somewhere for a moment. May I excuse myself?”

“Sure.”

Ho Sung Lee left, but Min Sung didn’t even look over because he was too focused on his omelet rice.

The sauce on top of his omelet rice was so sweet that he almost forgot that he was in Beatrice.

Min Sung ripped the omelet rice into little pieces and spooned it into his mouth.

The elder, who used to be Ellen’s mentor, walked toward a secret basement located within the fortress with a lantern in his hand.

Since it was a narrow passageway in the basement, his footsteps rang through the entire place

The sound of his footsteps was getting faster.

The elder was on his way to retrieve the ancient document, but the elder had no intention of handing it over to the outsiders.

He was going to hand it over to the dwarves instead.

That meant that the outsiders would have no choice but to step into the dwarves’ territory.

If they had to hand it over anyway, he had to hand it over in a way that would benefit them as well.

It was possible that this was their chance to round up the dwarves, who had been threatening their lives all this time.

Just by stepping onto the dwarves’ territory, the outsiders would get into a big fight against the dwarves, and if that happened, it wouldn’t make up for their loss of the ancient document, but they would still come out of it with a profit.

The elder wasn’t going to miss this opportunity.

Once he passed the long passageway, he arrived at a large door.

As soon as he chanted a spell, magic letters began to form along with the sound of the door unlocking.

The elder entered the room made of bricks.

The room was covered in marble, and on top of the marble table was an old-looking book.

That was the ancient document.

The elder used the magic system.

Through Ellen’s signature, the glass case unlocked from the magic device.

In the case that he didn’t get Ellen’s signature, the ancient document would have warped to a second secure location.

But since he had it, the ancient document didn’t disappear, and he was able to safely carry it in his hands.

In order to preserve the ancient document, the elder wrapped it in cloth and left the room.

The elder gulped as he continued to walk.

The outsiders were not weak by any means.

Ellen had one of the most outstanding abilities out of the dark elves.

She wasn’t as powerful as the players of the inner continent, but she wasn’t someone who would lose so easily.

But…

The elder trembled at the thought of the outsiders.

He felt his temperature drop.

The outsider pretty much fooled around with their ruler, Ellen.

He was so skilled that he wondered why his reputation hadn’t become known yet.

As skilled as he was, there was no better person to use as the ancient document’s bait.

He was worthy of someone who would resolve old and hard feelings.

The elder walked out of the basement determined, with the ancient document in his arms.

As soon as he chanted the spell, the door locked and was immediately covered up with dirt.

That was how the secret passageway was concealed.

After hiding the ancient document within his robe, the elder began walking toward the outside of the fortress.

There were 2 doors at the fortress.

The front gate and the south gate.

Since there were many eyes on the front gate, the elder chose to use the south gate instead.

His plan was to get out of the fortress, find the dwarves, and hand them the ancient document.

There was no doubt that the dwarves would immediately drool over the ancient document.

They naturally had a strong tribe-like characteristic, so when it came to magic items, they had no control.

Once he handed them the magic document, he would return to the fortress, tell the outsiders that the dwarves plundered their ancient document, and that would lead to the outsiders immediately heading over to the dwarves’ fortress.

His plan was perfect.

Knowing the dwarves’ strong tendency to battle, they wouldn’t forgive the outsiders’ intrusion like Ellen did, and they would pour their entire force toward defeating the outsiders.

In that case, the dwarves would suffer great damage, and the dark elves would use that opportunity to bring the dwarves down completely.

The elder thought his plan was perfect.

Starting it was half of it.

Once he secretly left the fortress, he would have completed 50% of it already, but as soon as the elder started to move quickly, a dark shadow appeared in front of him.

The elder flinched and stepped back.

He then stood with a stiffened face and looked around him.

It was a man who accompanied the outsider in trespassing the fortress.

Ho Sung Lee stood in front of him.

The elder gulped.

‘What’s he doing here?’

The elder’s heart pounded.

Since he was holding the ancient document in his hands, he was that much tenser.

Had he caught onto his plan already?

But how?

The elder was shocked, but on the other hand, Ho Sung Lee’s face looked more relaxed than ever.

The elder thought quickly.

He had hidden the ancient document deep within his robe.

It couldn’t be noticed from the outside.

All he had to do was stay calm.

“Where are you going in such a hurry?” Ho Sung Lee asked with a smile.

The elder quickly differentiated what he could and couldn’t say and proceeded to open his mouth.

“The elders will be holding a meeting soon, so I’m preparing for it. But… what brings you here?”

The elder spoke in a non-awkward way and asked about Ho Sung Lee’s reason for being there.

“It appears that your ruler is unable to walk after battling against Min Sung.”

“So?”

The elder glared at Ho Sung Lee, but Ho Sung Lee replied without being shaken, “So I asked when I could go to Ellen to receive the ancient document, but I was told that she transferred the rights to you.”

The elder was certain.

That he didn’t look for him out of suspicion.

That meant he still had a chance.

“… I see. That’s right. Ellen gave me the rights to retrieve the ancient document. Did you come alone?”

The elder looked around Ho Sung Lee’s surroundings.

“Yes, he’s eating at the moment.”

The elder nodded.

“Then follow me. I’ll hand you the ancient document.”

The elder turned and walked the way he came.

Ho Sung Lee followed the elder.

He was whistling and taking a look around him.

The elder kricked his teeth.

He planned to bring him down the basement passageway and trap him there.

Once he was trapped inside, if he never tried to escape, the entire basement passageway would be destroyed as a result of the magic device.

That meant that he would have to get through the ruins to get out, and the magic letters of the system would notify him of that once he was trapped inside.

The basement passageway was used as a jail 500 years earlier.

Since he had already retrieved the ancient document, there was no problem with locking him up inside.

All he had to do was act well so that he could trick him into entering the basement passageway.
