Episode 239 Even in a life like this (2)
[Oh my. The sky is cloudy, but it’s really raining.]
Did they decide to give up when the fourth reinforcements arrived? Before they arrived, it started raining again in the rough tent village.
“It’s raining.” However, the problem is that this is not a drizzle, but a heavy rain that has the force to pierce the fabric. “What about wizards?” The wind was strong, as if to prove that it was a beach. “well. Not only was Great Sage Cheongsanho arrested, but the entire Magic Tower was suspected of heresy, so cooperation was probably...” The group of humans became noisy again.
[Why is the wind so strong? It’s not even a typhoon.]
[It’s going to be a typhoon?]
[Oh, really.]
[Yes.]
I never thought this would be a harbinger of a real typhoon.
Sangun accepted Yukgui’s words at face value. Although it may have lost most of its strength, it was a belief that was possible because its status as an ancient beast was not going anywhere.
[I don’t know if they’ll all fly away.]
[You’ll figure out whether they fly away or not.]
[I guess...]
But right now, the source of faith is not important. Sangun hurriedly wrapped Yukgui elaborately. Although it was possible to read the flow of air and waves, the current six spirits did not have the power to overcome them, so it was a natural step.
The manifested body tightly surrounded the small turtle like a bird’s nest. “Even though my biggest worry is gone, the situation doesn’t get any better.” The center of its coiled body is filled with soft grass blades and fruits for food.
[Aren’t people going to die again?]
Over the past few days, not a single person has died due to trauma. It was a fitting result because the person who wielded the power of God was by his side.
However, that does not mean that no one dies at all. Those dying of cold and hunger cannot be saved even by the power of God. That wasn’t something that could be improved with a little bit of divine power.
So tonight will probably be a critical moment. Although the situation has improved a lot, human habitation is still poor.
[Ah, it’s light.]
[Prevent it before it hits you? It must be difficult.]
However, contrary to such expectations, a golden curtain covered the tent village created by humans. It was clear that the red-haired human that humans called a hero had stepped forward.
A golden curtain blocked the blowing wind and protected the people. “...The temple will gain momentum.” Something that some people found uncomfortable was flowing along on the wind.
[The baby is having a hard time.]
However, their relief is too early. Anyway, how long will it take to go there? What’s more, the typhoon hasn’t even arrived yet.
[You don’t know it’s a typhoon.]
[Oh my...]
If you keep doing this, you won’t be able to use your strength when you really need to. Sangun was saddened to learn of this. Even if I wanted to give advice, I couldn’t help but feel doubled because I couldn’t communicate.
The mountain army’s tail wiggled as if reflecting its anxious mind. “Somehow convince the wizards. “I have never seen a good result from leaving everything to one person.” Even look, no human being is in the same position. “Then what if the temple accuses us of heresy too?” Of course, there were some... little problems, but “we are already done.” “Be prepared to protect your people.” still.
[You’re crazy.]
[You feel sorry for the baby.]
[You brought it on yourself, so what’s new....]
[Still.]
[Didn’t you hate humans?]
[What....]
Six Ghosts What you said is not wrong. It was only recently that his long patience was cut short by the indecency of humans. In other words, it is a situation that most humans find disappointing.
However, despite this, those who know how to use their great power on others are still good. That’s where this sympathy came from.
[I can’t help it because Ji is kind. And didn’t the ancestor I know say it was okay?]
In addition, the warrior is the only human who comes to say thank you every day. Is it possible to just ignore something so sincere and kind?
[The humans who took care of our ancestors will also suffer like the warriors.]
Also, this feeling will be shared by all six ghosts. Yuk-gwi is not so careless that he forgets the grace he received, and those who took care of him when he just hatched from the egg are still out there.
[...Then, lend me some strength. I’ll change the typhoon’s path.]
Sure enough. Yukgui finally grumbled and agreed. I just stayed quiet because I didn’t have the strength, but it’s clear that I’ve been paying some attention so far.
The corner of Sangun’s mouth quirked up.
[Good.]
[Really me. I purified what was about to be eaten by demonic energy, but now I have to stop a typhoon... What a hardship when just focusing on recovery isn’t enough.] [
Hehe.]
[Why are you laughing? You’re doing this with your own strength.]
Even though I wanted to step forward, I didn’t want to criticize him. No matter what Yukgui said, Sangun smiled and looked down at him. It was the next moment that I lost all my strength.
[Huong.]
The typhoon, which was scheduled to hit the coast where the people were, changed course and headed south without anyone noticing. In addition, Sangun lost the ability to raise his head as a result.
A huge head lay on top of a curled body. The sounds that come out of the mouth are whining without any meaning.
[They won’t be able to give you today’s food....]
[What are you paying for today? [You should save your strength for at least three days.]
“yes.”
“Then let’s end the meeting. Oh, you stay.”
So, instead of wasting time solving unanswerable problems, Seongju just sent people away.
In a meeting that lasted only about twenty minutes, a face that had aged 10 years sighed deeply.
“What happened to the wizards?”
“We promised cooperation given the circumstances, but morale is not very good. “You can’t expect the same passionate attitude as you did in the beginning.”
“I see...”
But that alone is encouraging.
Even though cancer is highly individualistic, isn’t the Magic Tower a place where there is respect for pioneers, and isn’t their greatest pioneer arrested on suspicion of heresy?
Even in the aftermath, suspicions of heresy are directed at the entire Magic Tower. Even magicians whose individualism was stronger than their respect for the Great Sage would have become antipathetic at this point.
“It’s a shame because everyone has a high sense of responsibility due to the influence of the blue coral.”
What would it have been like if Bemurchen’s magic tower was not Cheongsanho’s, but a magic tower presided over by a white crow? Wouldn’t there be more people dying?
“The temple.”
“It’s quiet now.”
“Well, if you have shame, you should do it.”
There is no demon knight who brought them into conflict with the temple. Cheongsanho, who is suspected of collaborating with the devil knight, has also been quietly detained and is lending his power under surveillance.
The same goes for another Great Sage who was protecting the Demon Knight, his companions, and even the awakened warrior. Aside from the sleeping warrior, it is clear that the rest of the people tried to protect the demon knight and treat him with the utmost respect, but they are not saying anything right now. It was clear that consideration was given to the situation.
But in a situation like this, the temple dared to cause trouble? Otherwise, they would no longer be called followers of God.
“What about the hero? “Are you feeling okay?”
“He said there’s still plenty of time so don’t worry.”
Despite this, the temple still did not satisfy the lord of the castle.
He asked about temples and warriors separately. This was especially true because, unlike the temple that only tormented people, the warrior was his only comfort.
“If nothing else, make sure to take care of his well-being. “If he shakes now, it will be difficult for everyone.”
After all, if it weren’t for her, the number of people complaining of hypothermia would have been several times higher than now. The same goes for the number of citizens complaining of inconvenience due to reduced food rations.
If it had not been for the warrior who personally demonstrated that a great miracle can be a source of hope, they would have had to suffer once again.
“I’m doing my best to do that, but he flatly refuses, saying how can only he enjoy the convenience...” “
Then think about persuading me. “Now, the impact of the strength he gives is greater than the comfort that comes from sharing the same food.”
It is much more beneficial to maintain energy by providing good food than to watch someone collapse while eating something like porridge for no reason to make them feel like they are in a relationship. But even that is an unexpected greeting.
The person who was making excuses kept his mouth shut due to the stinging gaze of the castle lord.
“Finally... ask the Archmage. I asked Sangun if he was willing to go and see if there was a problem. “I have already chosen an escort for when I accept.”
“All right.”
“Okay then, let’s go out and see.”
“yes.”
I don’t think Sangun would have quit his job for no reason, but right now, mercy is too urgent.
Seongju held on to his pounding head, deciding to send someone even if it meant risking the shame. Headaches that get worse day by day are starting to interfere with daily life.
“I hope no one dies suddenly before the job is completed.”
“Lord Seong! “How could you say such a thing!”
The adjutant who had been silently assisting him the whole time was shocked, but what he had just said was by no means a joke.
He rested his butt on the flimsy chair. My body, which has survived only by sleeping for nearly two weeks, is in dire straits.
“Lord Seong, the flag of the reinforcements is visible from afar...!”
“...I don’t have time to rest.”
However, he soon had to remove even the buttocks that were barely attached. As I strained my knees to get up, my vision went white for a moment.
“Are you okay?”
“It’s okay.”
He held on to his stumbling body with the strength of his adjutant and blinked his eyes a few times. My vision returned.
“Adjutant, when I die, hand over to me all the sins that will be imposed on us.”
However, even if his vision returns, the fact that his body may have reached its limit cannot be erased. So Seongju decided to issue an order just in case.
“The same goes for the sin of the blue coral. If the crime is confirmed... testify that I actually ordered it. “You knew what Cheongsanho said, right?”
“Are you crazy? If that happens, the Lord of the castle...!”
“You won’t even have a grave. But what about it? Anyway, whether there is a grave after I die or not, I won’t even be able to see it. “There are no parents, pets or even children, so there is no one to be harmed.”
“You’ll hate it, Blue Coral.”
“Then tell me. “It’s my karma for being kind at my family’s funeral.”
However, this is literally just preparation. Seongju adjusted his tattered cloak properly and prepared to go out.
He’s still alive and there’s work left to do.
