Episode 122

“Come in. “You have a thoughtful face.”

Namgung, who opened the castle door, nodded towards Alek Traman.

“If anyone sees me, they will think I came here to die.”

“shut up.”

With a stern face, Alec followed Namgung down to the basement of the castle.

“Really… is Alec Traman here to teach you swordsmanship?”

“I don’t know. But… I can’t help but acknowledge his swordsmanship.”

As Myung-Hoon, who had already been in Yeouido before, he couldn’t deny that he was excited by Alec Traman’s appearance, even though it was funny.

“hey. I have no intention of teaching you. My swordsmanship can only be learned by those related by blood. “Are you going to teach me swordsmanship to someone who isn’t even from my family?”

“….”

As if reading Myung-Hoon’s expression, Alec glanced at him and said.

“Oh, that cheesy…”

Hojun twitched his mouth at his words.

However, Myung-Hoon, who had been looking forward to it for a moment, made a blank expression as if he had been hit on the head with a hammer by his words, and turned his head away in a rush of embarrassment.

“…I’ll go first. Hojun, let’s go. “To train.”

“yes? me too?”

Changhwan slapped the back of his head as he asked without notice and pushed him away.

“drink.”

Namgoong

passed the three people who were avoiding the seat next to him and put down the teacup in front of Alec.

“I had no idea they were building an underground bunker like this. Why did you tell me the location of this place? “It would be dangerous if the place were exposed.”

Alec asked without touching the teacup that Namgung had given him, just staring at him.

“Did you see the totem in front of the door? “Most people would be roasted in one hit.”

“What if the other person is a revelation?”

“Then they won’t come anymore. “Having a totem means it’s my territory.”

At Namgoong’s answer, Alec smiled bitterly and then drank the tea he gave him.

“You are always an arrogant person. The Revelators won’t attack you? You don’t know. “As soon as the pantheon began, Eira Michel contacted the revelers.”

“Hmm, really?”

“What you tried to make me do. At first, I thought it was some kind of nonsense, but it was a sacrifice to the pantheon… They were really telling me to die.”

“There’s no need to lie to you.”

“It’s so easy to tell someone to die…”

Alec said that, but he swallowed back his words, probably thinking of the people in London who had been sacrificed because of him.

As the fifth gate began, new information was injected into the revelators.

“They said let’s join forces. Honestly, it seems like other revelers are being tempted too. A chance to deal with the most reluctant opponents. “There is no reason to refuse.”

“A common enemy… She truly is a saint. “I heard my head works well.”

“Are you saying this in a carefree manner? Eira Michelle has already contacted Jinwei and Erika Ninagawa. “If I join in, you will have to deal with four Revelators.”

Alec’s voice got a little louder.

“Do you think Michael and Roxanne would fight for you even if they were friendly? “They must be overwhelmed just by what’s going on in their own country.”

“I guess so.”

“It’s not something that’s easy to see. “I know you’re strong, but I can’t guarantee the results of dealing with them all at the same time.”

“Then you can help me.”

“…crazy. Do you think I’ll side with you? “What good does it have to do with a person who told me to die?”

“What else can’t you do? “There were already extensive reports in the media saying that we were on the same side.”

“I have no intention of siding with you. I’m just here to warn you. “There will soon be an attack by the Revelators.”

Alec twitched his lips at Namgoong’s sly attitude towards him and stood up.

“And tonight Aira Michel will meet Roxanne. “I don’t know what the outcome will be, but it wouldn’t be a good idea to leave it as is.”

“Please take note.”

“…and I give this back to you. No matter how much I think about it, it’s not something I can afford.”

He put down a small box in his arms.

“The sacred relics in Hwanseongul Cave were stolen. “They say Katsumata, who follows Erika Ninagawa, stole it.”

“Interlude? Looks like she really joined hands with Aira Michel. “I thought the two of you were on the same side when you gave me water in Yeouido…”

Alec snorted.

“I guess it’s not like that again?”

“That goes for you too. “People who were anxious about not being able to kill each other are now having a conversation.”

“I just came to tell you this.”

Alec stood up as if he had finished speaking.

“Can I ask you one thing? “Now that I think about it, I didn’t get an answer last time.”

“…what?”

“Even though I don’t want to admit it, the temple of power and status of the relics will be a great help in the upcoming carnival.”

“I guess so.”

“And rather than summoning just one person to the temple, it would be much more efficient to make a sacrifice and open all the other temples.”

“What do you want to say?”

“That means one person has to die. Do you still plan to keep your promise to me? Or are you planning to make a public enemy too?”

Namgung looked at him.

“I have no intention of killing anyone.”

“then? Does this mean you will become a sacrifice?”

“….”

Alec could not easily answer Namgung’s question.

“That’s none of your business.”

Although he did not give a specific answer, Namgung could tell that his voice was trembling.

“If you’re just stubborn…”

Namgung chuckled as he picked up the box Alec left behind and fiddled with it.

[Who is the author? It’s not a bad thing to have a neat and tidy energy, but… you can’t progress any further like that.] After

he left, Moo-myeong asked as if he was interested.

“Still strong. “That guy is the revealer chosen by the watchers of the sun and moon.”

[…Revelator?]

At that moment, Mumyeong asked Namgung as if he did not understand.

“why?”

[It doesn’t look like that at all?]

“What does that mean?”

Namgung could not hide his surprise at his unexpected reaction.

[The living may not know, but heroic spirits of the proxy clan like me can identify the revealer. It is a unique smell that can only be felt by those who have been chosen by their status.]

Sigh…!!

An unknown person appeared.

[We call it stigmata. It’s like a stigma, so you can’t erase it even if you try.]

“Really? Should I call it a convenient ability? “Anyway, as time passes, we will all find out who the Revelator is.”

Hearing this for the first time, Namgoong instinctively sniffed his collar.

[But it’s strange.]

Unknown looked blankly at the place where Alec had left a little while ago.

[There was no scent of stigmata on him at all.]

“…What does it mean?”

[What does it mean? Unless he gained the ability to hide his stigmata while I was away…]

He said.

[It means that the power of the phase has been lost.]

“That doesn’t make sense. Does this mean Alek Traman may no longer be the Revelator? “This guy is more loyal to his status than anyone else.”

[That guy may be like that, but his status may not think so.]

Nameless shook his head.

[Was there a good guy among the ranks?]

“….”

[Maybe that guy…]

Namgung waited with anxious eyes for what he would say.

[It may have been abandoned by his superiors.]

– Now that each country is in confusion due to holy relics, the creation of Nest, a world union scheduled to be established in England, has been temporarily halted, further aggravating the confusion. What do you think?

-The British Parliament expressed its position that it would prioritize the recovery of damaged London.

-However, as rumors spread that a holy relic had been discovered in Cambridge, violent riots broke out and the damage continued to increase.

-I don’t think confusion will be easy to overcome… but it’s clear that it’s time to make a decision.

Fit-

“It’s as you see. “There is no progress in creating the Nest, and the appearance of holy objects is only confusing.”

The prime minister seemed tired from the press conferences and hearings that continued day after day.

However, the people gathered here knew well that they were grateful just to be able to hold a meeting like this.

“Among the countries that suffered damage from the monster attack that occurred when the third door was opened, there are places where the government itself collapsed due to citizen riots.”

“What on earth is going on in the world….”

“I think we need to hurry up with creating Nest. “We also need to discover talented people who have not yet been found in the country.”

The Chief Secretary and Park Hyo-joo nodded. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“An official letter of cooperation has arrived from the EU.”

“A letter of cooperation?”

“They said the goal was to improve relations with the European Union (EU). “As an apology for trying to establish Nest in the UK first, the EU says it will support all necessary costs for establishing a global union in Korea.”

“You stick around aimlessly and you lose money quickly. “Even when the UK, which had left the EU, held a press conference regarding the establishment of Nest, they were trying to get involved.”

Namgung sneered at the Prime Minister’s words.

“It seems like they only create unnecessary discord… Improve relationships? That’s funny. “What did we do when we were fighting for our lives?”

“It’s something that can’t be helped. Even if the world is in chaos, politics has to be done. What they’re wary of isn’t a monster’s attack. “Whether you like it or not, there is Alec Traman.”

“They may be afraid that we are entering into an agreement with a country other than Europe, such as the United States or China, which are other revelators.”

“That’s right. It sounds comfortable. “In a situation where the world may be ruined, I am still divided between my four sides…”

The Prime Minister sighed at the harsh words, as if he had read Namgung’s eyes.

“They would know. “Even if we build Nest, they cannot oppose it.”

he said

“What are the conditions?”

“This is the location of the sacred object. “The EU said they would provide the location of the Seven Serpents’ Relics.”

“They?”

Namgung rolled his eyes.

It was undoubtedly a trap.

‘Those who are not even revelators know about the sacred relics of the seven serpents, which are not other holy relics… That’s ridiculous.’

The atmosphere in the office suddenly calmed down due to the laughter that escaped without my knowledge.

“Where do you say it is?”

If it is a trap, there is one thing to do now. Who sold this trap?

“This is information sent unofficially from the EU via a hotline while Namgoong was away.”

The chief secretary pushed a document in front of him.

“…Syria?”

Namgung looked at the map enclosed in the document and asked.

“Isn’t there anarchy here now? How did the EU confirm this?”

“As you said, when the third door to the global invasion was opened, not only Syria but also neighboring countries in the Middle East, including Israel, suffered great damage.”

The Prime Minister nodded.

“There is a force that is uniting the Middle Eastern countries in such chaos. “Maybe you know.”

“No way… are you talking about ISR?”

“That’s right.”

Namgung frowned at the Prime Minister’s words.

There was no way I could forget it.

In the past, when Namgoong was in Unit 711, the last mission he performed was an operation related to them.

Islamic State Revival.

An extreme armed force active in the Middle East.

“They say they are carrying on the legacy of IS in the past, but in reality, that is just an excuse. “They are just crazy people who are crazy about killing people.”

Namgung gritted his teeth as if he didn’t want to think about it.

“They would have definitely been exterminated.”

‘Project Impulse’ was the last operation of Unit 711 and an unprecedented large-scale joint operation.

It took a lot of sacrifice, but in the end, they were able to kill Abdel Siyaf, the leader of the ISR.

“Because power can be resurrected at any time. “Especially because of the anarchic situation in the Middle East, they even rose up in the name of rebuilding the Middle East.”

“Reconstruction of the Middle East? Nonsense. Rather, citizens will oppose it and there will be an uproar. “Do you know how many people died because of them?”

“We think so too. “But it looks a little different from then.”

“…A different aspect?”

The Prime Minister looked at Namgung with an embarrassed expression.

“On the contrary, it seems to be supported by citizens.”

Namgung was dumbfounded.

It felt like all the hard work they had done in the past was in vain.

“It’s probably inevitable. “A monster attack and the government collapsed because it couldn’t stop it. Citizens need the power to protect themselves.”

“According to the EU, the ISR has obtained the sacred relics of the Seven Serpents.”

Namgung brushed his hair back at Park Hyo-joo’s words.

“I don’t think those crazy people think they can become my followers.”

“maybe…?”

“But if you still have the holy relic, there must be only one answer.”

Park Hyo-joo frowned slightly at the anxious feeling she felt while answering.

“If you want to lose, there’s nothing you can do.”

Namgung stood up from his seat.
