Book 2: Chapter 177: My goodness. The sea, the sea! (3)

Not only did Cales face stiffen, it scrunched up.

What did this bastard just say?

Sob. Youre so rude?

Cale was so flabbergasted that he read the message out loud. It had been a subconscious action.

Hey, you kno-

Choi Jung Soo, who happened to walk in as he said that, saw Cale looking at the dazzling mirror saying, sob, youre so rude and slowly walked back out.

His face made it feel as if he saw something he should not see.

Cale didnt even give him a glance as he continued to look into the mirror.

Did you go crazy?

He then nonchalantly made a comment.

The mirror was silent. Cales face returned to normal after seeing that it was quiet.

Ron.

Yes, young master-nim.

Im going to have a chat so please take care of things.

I hope that your conversation is a pleasant one, young master-nim.

Ron walked out with the unconscious Old man Baek.

Human, are you calling Central Plains?

Raon appeared with the young monk statue in his arms. The young monk statue that had been used for the formation in Yunnan Castle had been cleaned by Beacrox.

Im going to call the God of Death first.

Cale peeked at the statue before adding on with a stoic expression on his face.

I think Central Plains did a good job with something.

Oh.

Raon snickered as he patted the young monk statue with his chubby front paws. Cale felt as if he was getting chills and looked away.

As expected, Dragons are vicious.

Hey.

Cale asked the mirror.

What do you mean by finding the king? Explain in more detail.

He immediately received an answer.

< It is exactly as I stated. The King of Roan appeared on the list of people to die. A name appears on the list of people to die six months before the person's death, giving important information relating to it. >

Does the time and place of their death appear?

< Yes. However, I can't tell his location because it is continuously changing. >

Where does it say he is right now?

The God of Death said that it felt as if the King was being dragged around.

< Why? >

< Are you going to go? >

Cale had only one answer to that question.

That depends on his highnesss judgment.

However, he had no reason to give that answer to the God of Death.

It was at that moment.

Ding.

< I'll tell you the location if you fulfill one request for me. >

One corner of Cales lips twisted up after seeing that message.

Cale already knew something reasonable that he could do.

Is it fine if I find Choi Jung Gun for you?

Choi Han and Choi Jung Soos ancestor and the first Dragon Slayer of Cales world.

Furthermore, he was also a single-lifer and a wanderer, helping the God of Death with his work.

Ding.

< I like that it is easy to talk to you. >

I very much hate that you and I can communicate so easily.

< Sob.>

Cale looked at the God of Deaths message with a stoic gaze.

The God of Death.

Although this existence was acting so casually right now, he was no joke of an individual.

He probably looked into the location of his highnesss father in order to find Choi Jung Gun.

It was a card up his sleeve for his conversation with Cale.

I need to go rescue Choi Jung Gun anyway.

He thought about Choi Han and Choi Jung Soo. He then looked at Raon, who was looking at him with a confused look on his face.

What is it, human?

Its nothing.

Aipotu.

The world ruled by the Dragons of the Purple Bloods.

It was also a world that was not responding.

That was the last known location of Choi Jung Gun.

The Dragon who left the power for Cale to strengthen multiple of his abilities said that Raon would save that world.

Cale had no thoughts at all about putting Raon in danger.

Hey.

A smile appeared on his face.

You have no intention of giving me the information before I find Choi Jung Gun?

< No.>

The response was quite firm.

< I am doing something I should not be doing in my position. I can't give that info to you so easily. I also need some time to prepare in order to give this information to you. >

Cale quietly read all of the God of Deaths messages before making a simple comment.

I keep my word.

< . >

The God of Death suddenly stopped messaging. He finally responded in a bit.

< In a little bit. I will contact you again around the time you are returning to Roan. >

One corner of Cales lips twisted up.

Ah, hold on.

He held the God of Death from leaving.

Central Plains. This punk was quite shrewd. There was something Cale wanted to ask before reading the message from that punk.

I guess the God of Balances negotiation with the worlds went well?

He got an answer.

< Pfft >

This little punk.

Cale immediately told him about his conversation with the God of Death. He also gave a concise detail about Choi Jung Gun, Aipotu and everything he had faced until now.

So many things have happened.

Alberus face subtly changed. It looked as if he had a lot that he wanted to say but was debating whether it was okay to say them.

Cale completely ignored it and said what he needed to say.

I will quickly take care of things and return to Roan so please leave the traces in Endable alone. I want to investigate them too, your highness.

Cale saw Alberu looking at him and continued to speak.

Ive seen someone with a connection to a god in Endable before.

Endable.

As Duke Fredo had told him before, that was a place that the gazes of gods could not reach.

As a result, unless the Gate to the Demon World opened, gods had no way of finding out even if the Demonic race appeared there.

I also thought that the White Star was trying to become a member of the Demonic race.

He recalled those fiery moments with the Gate to the Demon World, the Divine World, and the World of the Gods.

That was when Cale had seen someone with a connection to a god in Endable.

The believers who treated the White Star as the same existence as the Demonic race

The Deputy Chief Priest who was mixed in with them

This was what she had said.

Those who serve the God of War always hide themselves in the midst of wherever there is a war.

Cale explained to Alberu.

Deputy Chief Priest Cotton. Lets locate her.

She had left with Mercenary King Bud, but where was she now?

He had an ominous feeling for some reason.

Deputy Chief Priest Cotton. She was someone who served the God of War, and she was the reason that his people and Buds group were able to find a safe place in Endable while Cale was stuck in the black orb, becoming Kim Rok Soo and meeting Lee Soo Hyuk.

She was someone who knew to create a space to protect the weak during a war.

She said that they would hide themselves in the midst of wherever there is a war.

The God of War-

Clopeh Sekka. The watering can he found in that bastards house was this gods item.

And-

I guess we can discuss the details later, your highness.

Yeah. Ill go give Deputy Chief Priest Cotton a visit.

Cale quietly stared at the blank mirror before speaking again.

Hey.

Nobody answered.

Do you not have anything to say?

There was silence for a moment before Cale heard a voice in his mind.

What is it?

The voice sounded subtly uncomfortable and reluctant.

The owner of the voice had once been given a name by the God of War.

That name was the Water of Judgment.

However, she chucked a resignation letter at the God of War and named herself the Retrogressive Water before eventually calling herself the Sky Eating Water.

I dont really know.

This was the first time the Sky Eating Water was talking about the God of War since joining Cale.

I thought that he was a good person, but Hes a bit cold. He tends to be that way. Thinking about it now

He made her become revered by people as an envoy of a god, however It also made people envious of her, leading to them repressing her.

He cherished her and doted on her but also made it so that she could not use her powers as she pleased to live a free life.

It was different from what the God of Death did to Cage.

The God of Death truly cherished the excommunicated priestess, Cage.

Cale could at least admit that much. Cage still had the powers from the God of Death while freely living as she pleased.

Cage and the Sky Eating Water

Both of them had been cherished by gods but the results were extremely different.

Cale recalled how the Water of Judgment had been tied down by chains.

Ill go confirm this once I go back to Roan.

He then gently asked the Sky Eating Water.

Could you please cooperate with me?

Human, it is scary hearing you talk like that!

He ignored Raons comment.

Yes.

He smiled with satisfaction at the unsettled response of the Sky Eating Water.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

This was the second day of the rain.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo, the Chief Advisor of the Martial Arts Alliance, raised her head at the rain that was even covering the moonlight.

She could not see anything in the dark sky.

Even the stars were not visible, making her unable to read the will of the heavens.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

Zhuge Mi Ryeo suddenly flinched and turned her head.

Clack clack.

A carriage was leisurely entering the Guangdong Castle Lords residence.

Click.

The window of the carriage slowly opened.

Light poured out from inside.

Zhuge Mi Ryeo walked out into the rain without any hesitation after seeing the shadowed face behind the light.

However, someone had moved faster than her.

Master! Welcome!

Sima Pyeong, the Divergent Coalition leader

He opened the carriage door with a smile on his face.

Cale looked down at him and asked.

The rain and wind are quite severe. Will we be able to set the boats out?

Hainan.

They needed to get on boats to get to that island, leading Cale to ask this question as soon as he arrived at the Guangdong coast where Hainan was visible.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa-

Cales group had arrived so close to their destination in the middle of the night.
