Chapter 400

Episode 400. The butterfly effect in the flower garden (2)

There is pride even in the bottom of life.

“Isn’t it funny? To receive the favor he had not received even from his parents, from the target he had been closely following to end his life. It was an indescribable feeling.”

The king of the bottom gasped and said.

Of course, there was no scavenger listening carefully to his words.

Because it was simply unbelievable.

“Got that?”

“I don’t have a good impression enough to save my grandfather’s face.”

“It’s good if you don’t even frown. Kick kick.”

There is a reason it was abandoned.

It was one of the words that the scavengers get tired of hearing.

From those born with disabilities, large or small, to those with burn injuries that made them look more like monsters than humans. Because each shade at the bottom of the gutter had its own story.

The king laughed.

“well. I just thought so too. It’s not like that. Because looking at him, I realized that there is a bottom that is worse than us.”

“A floor worse than the scavenger?”

“Have you become senile because it’s time to die?”

“I heard you were a noble aristocrat in the first place?”

“Huh, I understand.”

“Anyway, he just keeps saying he understands.”

since when

I understand.

What made me live with those words in my mouth.

‘...Maybe it was from then.’

The target silver-haired man said so in Citidel.

– “I will understand you.”

It was the first favor the King of the Forsaken had ever received.

It was really funny.

It’s a fact I found out too late.

Everyone on the Arcana continent is that man.

You said it was a situation where you were aiming for the family’s life.

‘Even though I wasn’t hated by the continent.’

The scavengers in the same situation.

They say it’s a gutter where no sunlight shines.

Because there were colleagues who could laugh and talk together.

But at the time, the man had nothing.

– “They say they were called great families.”

-“...but there are no bastards to help?”

-“In Citidel, he eventually limped and disappeared alone.”

– “Anyway, there are more cubs.”

Even though I lost everything in the top spot.

rather.

They showed mercy to themselves, who were at the bottom of their lives.

– “What the hell...?”

The man’s solitary back was still good in my memory.

The King of the Abandoned looked at those gathered. Well I didn’t think these poor guys could understand a man they hadn’t met face to face.

‘Because each one of them has deep scars.’

But remember.

no, i have to remember

The King of the Forsaken left his last will.

“Remember. There is pride even at the bottom.”

“...Pride?”

“As much as no one gives us. We must never betray those who have done us a favor.”

He said the man’s name.

“Pride that man and remember Cloudy.”

.

.

.

The devil appeared and the continent turned upside down.

“How do you feel?”

“... ugh.”

“Two. Get used to the dirty, wet gutter.”

At the bottom, new scavengers overflowed. It was natural. It was a devastated continent. Because the abandoned people had no place to go but the bottom.

And a new king was to be born in a troubled world. Emilio, the new King of the Abandoned, quickly rallied the growing number of scavengers.

“You bastard, if you’re going to fight, you’re going to be put in a corner and you’re going to die...”

“Stop unnecessary fights.”

“But Emilio! These bastards are the ones who laughed at us. do you have no speed? Aren’t you hot? Am I just trash?”

Emilio did not object.

Because I understood the heart of a man who vented his anger.

But Emilio said it like a habit.

“I understand your feelings.”

But it was just a habit.

miserable childhood.

The king of scavengers who reclaimed himself after being abandoned.

He was just repeating what he had said.

“But have mercy.”

But until Emilio learns true mercy.

It didn’t take long.

“Neither in Antonium nor in the underground sewers of Antonium did I see anything strange. Best of all, the rats haven’t left Antonium yet.”

“A rat...”

Emilio chuckled at Nash’s reaction.

“When the imperial palace predicts danger with magic and magic tools, the scavenger predicts the future with the rat he has taken as his friend. Can’t you prove that effect by the fact that I’m still alive?”

Nash looked dubious, but I wasn’t.

‘That’s scientific in its own way.’

I remembered seeing crows crying and rats evacuating on the news before the earthquake. When I nodded, Emilio gave a look of surprise.

“I didn’t expect you to understand me right away.”

Why not?

Doing everything you can, even at the bottom.

Shouldn’t we do our best to survive?

‘Actually, I started from the bottom too.’

A level that was just around level 50 at the time of player awakening.

The scavengers even had rats.

I mean there was a time when I really didn’t care...!

‘Thanks, of course.’

there is nothing

It means you’re used to situations where you have to give your all.

So I had no reason to doubt Emilio Scavenger’s abilities.

‘Because I’m busy moving at times of doubt.’

In that sense, I will ask you one thing, Emilio.

According to Emilio, the arrogant guy had just sealed the door of Antonium. It didn’t make sense to show no action after the incident broke out like a brawl in all directions.

‘He must be plotting something.’

If so, there is one thing.

The Imperial Palace of Antonium.

Will the emperor be safe there?

Moreover, I am the imperial palace of Antonium.

You know what’s underground.

Yes, the emperor seems to call it the 『War Emperor’s Library』.

I know it’s a ticking time bomb.

[The War Emperor’s Library]

[Recommended Level: Unmeasurable]

[Collapse Progress: 92.7%]

Anyway, it’s a rift, what about the War Emperor’s Library?

therefore.

I asked Nash and Emilio.

“Are the sewers of the Imperial Palace and Antonium connected?”

“...I think so.”

“There are guards guarding it, so even the scavengers don’t come close to the imperial palace, but as you said, we’re connected. Just because you’re tall doesn’t mean you’re not cheap.”

If it’s connected...

isn’t there a need to build a foundation from Antonium?

at the imperial palace.

To be precise, the basement of the Imperial Palace.

What if you collapse the rift from the [Archive of War]?

‘Maybe I can swallow the whole Antonium.’

I checked the library of the rift war situation with my own two eyes.

The fact that I wasn’t worried even after seeing the cracks that were close to 90%.

This was because the degree of collapse only increased in special cases.

It was.

the Emperor in exchange for his own life.

Only when looking for an answer in the Emperor’s library.

Suddenly, a conversation with the emperor passed through my mind.

-“It feels as if you are carrying the same burden as me... no, even heavier than I am. It truly touches my heart.”

Compared to the early days of Cataclysm, the current situation was incomparably better. So, I wonder if the Emperor would not step into the Emperor’s library on his own.

But I couldn’t be sure.

Why is it that you know ten ways under water, but you don’t know one way under people?

But this guy’s pride is high.

Even doubts can only be expressed in a noble way.

However, if I step into the Warlord’s library by any chance...

just like I always did.

must be strictly disposed of.

my mouth is open

“I hope it is a reasonable reason, Emperor.”

Cloudy will lead the Arcana Continent to destruction.

The emperor recalled his memory.

There was a determined determination in his eyes.

he murmured.

“To be proud.”

“For the Emperor’s Pride.”

“I have no choice but to ask.”

Cloudy in the revelation left by his ancestors.

it truly is.

like that guy said.

“You still don’t believe me, young Seric Rose?”

Whether it means Grand Fell Cloudy Arpheus Romeo.
