The Kingdom of Aeron, one of the Seven Kingdoms of the Temple, is a powerhouse representing the eight kingdoms of the southern continent.
Their weapons include advanced politics and capital power, which can make up for the geographical disadvantage of being located in the southernmost part of the country.
However, at some point, a subtle tectonic shift began to occur in the power structure of the southern continent.
It starts with an angel’s tears.
It was the name of a hallucinogenic drug that was widely distributed in a small kingdom called Kesia.
“It’s quiet.”
The capital of Kesia was truly quiet.
The crime and terrorism that were once rampant, and the image of the girl crying after losing her home were nowhere to be found.
It was literally like a ghost town, with only the occasional moaning sound coming out between the tightly closed houses.
Fermi looked up at the hot sun.
“Isn’t this also peace?”
An unkempt beard covered his lower abdomen, and his dyed hair now remained at the ends of his long hair.
“Parmyu.”
Fermi turned around at the sound of a calling voice and revealed a smile that seemed like a crazy joke.
“Niaca.”
Although Fermi was from the central continent, he now naturally developed a southern accent.
“what’s the matter? “When everyone is sleeping.”
A dark-haired man of medium height approached Fermi, sniffing the whole time.
“You found it. I was planning to go to the office. Do you have that by any chance? “Angel’s tears.”
Commonly known as Angel.
“Of course there is.”
Fermi looked into Niaka’s severely dilated pupils and searched his pockets.
“Inject in the correct amount. Because if you do too much, it’s no fun. Now take this and go back.”
A small plastic bag was filled with shiny white powder like sugar.
“thank you. But I don’t have money. Because I can’t work. Do you want to come home with me? “If it’s okay with you, take my wife.”
No one worked in Kecia.
“are you okay. “I don’t need money anymore.”
Except for the Kingdom of Iron, the seven kingdoms of the southern continent were in Fermi’s hands.
“Now take this to your wife. This level of service is the basis of customer service.”
Fermi tapped Niaka on the shoulder and handed another bag of drugs into her hand.
“Sniff.”
Niaka lifted the bag to her nose and sniffed it, then fluttered her eyelids and moaned.
“Haaah. “I guess I’ll survive now.”
Niaka, whose focus was half back, asked without lifting the envelope from her nose.
“Parmyu. “Aren’t you an angel?”
“Why do you think so?”
“I don’t know. I just think so. Why aren’t you doing this good thing? does not it hurt?”
“Who will make medicine if I enjoy it too? At least one person must protect this city. is not it?”
” but??????
Nyaka, who sniffed a couple of times, waved as she returned home.
“Anyway, thank you.”
Fermi sent me off with a smile.
“Observe the dosage. “It’s a warning.”
Perhaps by tomorrow Niaka wouldn’t even remember that she had met Fermi.
After staying for a while, Fermi walked down a desolate road with only dust and trash rolling around.
The symbol of the Golden Flower Wheel was shining on the spire of the modern building standing at the end of the block.
“Are you here, Chairman?”
As I entered the building, a cool feeling that chased away the daytime heat enveloped my skin.
“okay. “What about the excavation team?”
The pupils of the employee who followed behind with a makeup-free face were also slightly dilated.
“I woke up two hours ago. “He is waiting in the recovery room now.” Fermi’s eyes sank.
‘3 days and 17 hours in real time. This excavation work was quite tough.’
As I entered through the automatic door, I found myself in a white space equipped with the latest medical equipment.
There were 200 beds along the wall, and every single one was empty.
“what? “Are you here?”
The bathroom door opened, and Marcia, who had just washed, walked out, drying her hair.
“Where have you been? “You kept looking.” The parrot mercenary group that joined hands with Geumhwaryun has now risen to second place in the world’s guild rankings.
It was a remarkable growth in that it included all existing guilds, not just mercenary guilds.
“I came here to get some air. “It’s a walk.”
“…You go out a lot these days. “No one goes on the streets anyway, so there’s nothing to see, right?”
“Wouldn’t that be cool?” Marcia, who was pondering Fermi’s words, picked up the iron box on the bed.
“ruler. here. It was a bit difficult this time. It’s a dangerous area and it’s buried too deep. I think I’ve been digging for about 200 years…
“Thank you for your hard work.”
After receiving the box, Fermi confirmed that it had never been opened by looking at the jewel embedded in the center.
“How much can I give you?”
Marcia said as she put on her sweater.
“Still Hongjeong? “They swept up all the money from the seven kingdoms and made a big fuss.”
“That’s why I’m asking.”
“Since we’re going to be together for a long time, I’ll take it in moderation. 8 billion gold. Prepare a batch of large gold coins.”
Fermi smiled.
“Four days’ worth of salary is 8 billion gold.”
“How many people do you have in your family?” If you share everything, there is nothing left. Anyway, prepare it like that. “I’m going to go get a drink.”
Fermi said as he put the box in Marcia, who was passing by, patting her shoulder.
“We will deliver it the way we always do.”
“Oh and.”
Just before leaving the door, Marcia turned around.
“I need to shave. “You… haven’t been to the kids since then?”
“That’s a bit of a personal matter.”
“okay. I’m sure you can handle it well. “I thought it would be much better than just taking a walk down the deserted streets.”
After Marcia left the recovery room and the automatic door closed, Fermi looked back in the mirror.
It seemed like a strange person was standing there.
“…Has it already happened like that?”
When you delve into future events that no one knows about, you tend to forget the present time.
Fermi went into the bathroom, took a shower with warm water, and soaped his face.
Crumbling.
The beard, which I couldn’t remember how long it had grown, was peeling cleanly off my skin.
As he looked at his face closely, he grabbed his long hair and started cutting it with a razor.
Then, when I looked in the mirror, the clean face of the person called Fermi was finally revealed.
“President.”
When I came out of the bathroom naked, the secretary who had been waiting outside came in and bowed her head.
“Bring me my clothes. “I’m going there.”
“…yes.” After being drunk on Angel and her thinking slowed down for a moment, she understood what he meant and brought her a luxury suit.
Fermi, neatly buttoned up, looked at himself for a long time in front of a full-length mirror.
“Hmm.”
When he thought he was ready, he headed to a room where dozens of children were sleeping.
An IV was being inserted, and doctors in gowns were checking the time and adjusting the drug dosage.
“President.”
As the doctor wearing the mask lowered his head, Fermi walked away, placing his hand on his shoulder.
“Fe Fermi.”
The only adult woman in the room raised her upper body with bleary eyes.
It was Rachel, a comrade of Fermi’s mother Yolga and the director of Aramoness Orphanage.
“teacher.”
And maybe… he was also the first person Fermi loved.
The doctor quickly flipped through the chart.
“Angel dosage did not exceed average. “Emotional illness is suppressed and conscious activity lasts for about 4 hours a day.”
Rachel said.
“Fermi, you can’t do this. You can’t believe they’re giving these little kids drugs. “This is such a big sin.”
Until I ‘mined’ the history of the outbreak of emotional illness, I tried never to see it again.
To Fermi, Rachel was a replacement for Yolga and a woman.
“Thanks to the medicine, I can sleep comfortably. You know, teacher. Without this medicine, she
would suffer. As if she didn’t know, her rationality was weakened due to Angel’s long-term administration.
“I don’t know. What should I do…what should I do with these children? “Is this really the best?”
“You don’t have to think. Because I will think about it. Don’t do anything. Because I will solve it. “Teacher, just lie back and dream.”
Rachel’s eyes wavered as she looked up at Fermi, who was gently laying her on the bed.
‘Fermi.’
It was like that then too.
Colleague’s Son Even if it was a momentary mistake, the reason why I allowed a nine-year-old boy to kiss me…
‘Because he is so outstanding and smart.’ I ended up relying on that huge feeling that nothing in the world was impossible.
“Fermi. Actually, I want you…
“I’ll come again.”
As if Fermi knew what she was thinking, he blocked Rachel’s slip of the tongue in advance.
“Ah ah…
As we increased the amount of IV administered, her eyelids fluttered and she fell into a deep sleep.
“Let him sleep for a while. “Because emotional changes or amplification can worsen the disease.”
“All right.”
While the doctor bowed his head, Fermi looked back at the children in the orphanage.
Although there were occasional convulsions, everyone was asleep with peaceful faces.
“Have fun.”
In a sweet dream, not in real hell.
“President.”
As Fermi left the room, Geumhwaryun’s attendant followed him, making the sound of his shoes.
“The temple general meeting is not far away. “Shouldn’t we take over Iron, a nearby country, before that?”
“Leave it alone for now. “They probably have the cards we need.”
There was no need to question the reliability of Fermi’s words.
“All right. “Then, I will run as a representative of the seven southern kingdoms, excluding Iron.”
“Hmm.”
Fermi thought of Sirone.
“Put that on hold too. Sooner or later, a customer will come. “Shouldn’t we try to guess the cards until the end?”
“yes. then.”
The attendant who recorded those words stopped and Fermi entered the office alone.
He put down the box he received from Marcia on the shelf and sat down on a chair in front of the front window.
‘mother.’
Looking at the desolate cityscape, Fermi remembered the face of Yolga, whom he had met at Istas.
‘Do not worry. You’ll do well.’
Because he is your son.
She passed away leaving humanity the opportunity to choose its future.
Although she is a heroine comparable to Miro, her inclination could be said to be closer to philanthropy.
“Wow…
blood came up along the back of Fermi’s neck.
‘Is this starting again?’
The reason I didn’t touch Angel is because it’s difficult to ‘mine’ history when your mind is clouded.
“Damn it.”
As the pain of emotional illness pierced his entire body, the bridge of his nose twisted like a wild animal.
What should I give up?
He had abandoned everything except what was necessary to achieve his goal.
Fermi’s eyes suddenly filled with murder, and he turned around with a terrifying expression.
He held the military knife in his right hand backwards and struck the back of his left hand with all his force.
bang!
Red blood flowed down the blade that pierced the hand bone and the armrest of the chair.
“Tsu” Su?
Fermi clicked his tongue, took out a cigarette, and lit it, tilting his head crookedly.
“Whoa.”
Then, he leaned back against the backrest and blew out a long stream of smoke toward the scenery outside the window
.
“…It’s better now.”
The sun blazed unpleasantly.
