Satan’s Proposal (4)
After leaving the square, Fermi and Seriel entered a bar near the market.
Fermi asked as he opened the door.
“Are you going to be okay?”
“Are you afraid I won’t be able to drink? Get in quickly. I’m hungry.”
It was too early to eat dinner, but I was very hungry because I had skipped lunch.
“Let’s just get on with it.”
Seriel sat down and placed an order.
After about an hour, the faces of the two people who drank alcohol on empty stomachs became slightly red.
Even though we weren’t close friends, we didn’t stop talking because we were in the same graduating class.
“It’s always hard.”
Seriel, who was looking at the night scene through the window, rested her chin on the table and said.
“What’s really hard is that once you get used to the routine of senior year, you don’t know what’s going to be difficult. “You need to find your shortcomings to grow, but the results are not good.”
“It’s steadily going up. One day, when you look back, you will realize that you have grown. “Trust me, the longest-serving student in my graduating class.”
Seriel, encouraged by the veteran’s words, smiled, but soon her heart cooled.
‘Graduation exam broker.’
Why are you still in school when you have the skills to graduate at any time?
‘Shall I ask?’
Fermi smiled.
“You look like you have something to say. “Try anything.”
To be honest, it wasn’t a bad time and it was fun talking about my senior year.
“Ah!”
Seriel, who was conflicted about breaking the mood, drank the drink in front of her in one go.
After about 3 hours, Seriel’s eyes began to relax.
“Hey Fermi. You can’t do that. “Don’t live that way, you bastard.”
Although this was already the fourth time he had heard it, Fermi was listening with a calm smile.
“I know you’re honestly a great guy. But… I know! You can’t live like that. How hard do other friends work to become wizards…
“How can they sell their diplomas for money?”
“Okay, you bastard. “Money… huh?” When Seriel, who was half sober, opened her eyes wide, Fermi lit a cigarette.
“I took the graduation exam for several years. “We passed a lot of people and rejected even more.”
A long billow of smoke billowed out.
“Who did you get money from? no. “I have never received a favor or received any money.”
“Then why…?”
“Because that is my belief. Controlling the system. For some people, all they want to do is fight and win, but I can’t do that. “Just as you guys compete to prove your skills, I’m just fighting in my own way.”
Is this a lie?
‘You’re not a broker? Could it be that he wants me to take Fermi’s side at school? No…
Fermi is obviously not trustworthy, but what she felt for half a day was,
‘This guy doesn’t lie.’ Even if it is better to remain silent.
“cigarette. “I didn’t see you at school.”
“I don’t particularly like it. I just don’t want to apply the concept of taboo to my life. “I can do anything if it’s necessary, and I won’t do anything if it’s not necessary.”
It was his way of controlling the system.
‘What kind of life would he have lived?’
The more I learned about Fermi, the more confused I became, which fueled my curiosity even more.
“Okay, I’ll trust you. But if you’ve done this much, you’ve proven your abilities. “Why are you staying in school?”
Fermi recalled.
‘mother.’
The appearance of Yolga, who is still wandering in the upper echelons of Istas as the ghost of a specific incident.
“well. “Why?”
Seriel was a bit afraid.
Fermi’s expression was extremely transparent, but he looked like he was about to burst into tears.
“You…
I couldn’t think of anything other than wanting to hug you.
“let’s go. late.”
After finishing the calculation, the two people were driven out into the dark street.
Should we break up like this?
Fermi asked in a situation where the time and atmosphere were ambiguous.
“if??????
Seriel nodded slightly.
“okay.”
It was after 4 a.m. when Seriel woke up in an unknown inn room.
It was quiet outside, and the sound of Fermi breathing quietly next to him as he fell asleep.
‘ah?”??? The events of
yesterday, just a few hours ago,
flashed by like a flash of light.
‘Aren’t you crazy, really?’
It didn’t feel as bad as I expected.
No, to be honest, it was pretty good, but the sober world isn’t all about emotions.
As for the rival faction of my graduating class, I spent a day with the leader of the enemy army.
Seriel slowly turned around, got off the bed like a snake, and grabbed her clothes.
‘Be careful, be careful.’
There was no sound while I knelt down, got dressed, and checked the belongings in my bag.
She slowly opened the door and went out, then gently closed the door as if she would not allow even a single decibel.
Then, after observing the situation inside, I ran down the hallway as if I was running away and left the inn.
‘This is a secret for life. ‘You can’t even tell Amy.’
Just a minute after Seriel left the room, Fermi raised his eyelids.
He was staring into the darkness, as if he was already awake, and covered his eyes with his arm.
“Whoa.”
In the hallway of Delta, Seriel thought.
At the graduation exam that year, Amy was lynched by Geum Hwa-ryun and failed early on.
‘I passed.’
Of course, unlike Amy, who was ranked first in graduation, Seriel was not subject to Geumhwaryun’s control.
However, combined with the events of that day, it remained an unsolvable problem for Seriel.
‘Why did Fermi eliminate Amy? Simply tactical reasons? Or me…
This was the reason why she couldn’t say anything even though she had a face that seemed like a weakness in front of her.
“Fermi, something happened…
“I’m sorry.”
Fermi stopped talking and turned around.
“I have urgent business. I will tell you the angel recipe soon. “It won’t take long.”
Seriel was relieved to see his back moving away, but at the same time, her heart ached.
‘ what?’
Now that I heard that expression from Sirone a little while ago, I know what it means.
‘Have you lost someone precious again
? The temple opened at 8 am.
Leaders and officials from each country attended, but the atmosphere was different from yesterday.
The country that was hit was angry, and the country that escaped was on guard.
Albino touched his beard.
‘The atmosphere is scary. I guess you already know. ‘Today’s temple will be difficult.’
The leaders of the Moon Kingdom, Tormia, Jincheon, Corona, Paras and Gustav were unable to attend.
Sirone thought.
‘Even the Moon Dragon of the Moon Kingdom was attacked. In the end, among the countries that were hit, the only one that suffered no damage was the tribal union.’
One thing bothered me.
‘It doesn’t make sense that Kitra was harmed. He is Opatz. Even if I got hit in the flesh, it wouldn’t be shocking.’
Are you strategically hiding information? While Wuorin was thinking the same thing, Corona’s think tank Ivory Tower spoke.
“This is Byeolya Zioi, a 2-star resident of the Ivory Tower.”
True to her nickname, Black Mars, her voice resonated throughout the hall.
“There was an assassination attempt in the Kingdom of Corona last night. According to our investigation, at least four countries suffered the same attack, and the prime suspect was…”
Zioyi’s gaze drifted to the side.
“It’s the Moon Kingdom.”
The monk of the Moon Kingdom suddenly stood up.
“This is a conspiracy! I’ll be honest! We also suffered damage due to this incident…
“That’s enough.”
Zioyi raised his hand to stop him from speaking.
Whoever the culprit was, there was no need to pay attention if Moonryong, who had voting rights, left.
“The whole story will be revealed gradually. What Corona wants to ask is how it attacked other countries. According to research, this is impossible without the help of the hidden world.”
The monk of the Moon Kingdom quietly sat down.
“He is the one who did not simply use ghosts, but amplified their emotions. In other words, Satan is involved. And as we know, Satan Zioy’s gaze turned the other way.
“Isn’t it in the Kashan Empire?” When everyone’s attention was focused, Wuorin stood up with a smile.
“First of all, I would like to express my condolences to a country that has experienced such great trouble. “The Kashan Empire has done its best to prevent this incident and clearly states that it still has no intention of breaking any peace treaty.”
He lied confidently, so it was believable.
“Then what about Satan?”
“It is true that Kashan and Moon played Code One, but what Moon wanted was Satan, not me. “I want to make it clear that Kashan has nothing to do with this matter.”
The albino complained.
‘Cut off the tail.’
At that time, the door to the temple opened and Habitz came in.
“I’ll tell you.”
The presence of Satan, whose shackles were removed, was so great that half of the officials jumped to their feet.
“What are you doing! “Hurry and call the guards!”
Havitz raised his hand.
“now.”
Only 30 seconds after the banishing was activated did the officials recognize him on the podium.
‘Damn it!’
Fearing that his own head might fall off, the officials shot Wuolin.
“Kashan! I didn’t promise! If you can’t control Habitz… I mean… Habitz! uh? That’s it…
As they turned the vanishing on and off repeatedly, the officials felt as if a hole had been opened in their thoughts.
“listen.”
It suddenly became quiet.
“The Moon Kingdom was the first to break the rules. “Until then, I had never harmed anyone who participated in the temple.” It was confirmed to be true.
“The Moon Kingdom tried to wreak havoc on all 11 countries. What Wuolin chose in Code One was simply to cut the target country in half in exchange for handing me over. “This is to minimize damage to other countries and, above all, to protect Kashan.”
International law recognizes a defensive and offensive posture in situations where the security of a state is threatened.
“Therefore, Kashan is also a victim country. I also wanted to actively follow the rules of the temple. But the Moon Kingdom threatened me and they took away my control.”
Saying…
‘Uorin wants me to tell you this.’
Habitz was able to listen to her heart in real time and recite it as it was.
“This is the full story I know. And now I too have regained my freedom.”
The monk of the Mun Kingdom gritted his teeth.
‘This is what I was really aiming for. If you turn the Moon Kingdom into a war criminal country, you will have a justification to use Habitz. ‘You know we can’t refute it.’
Even if the case was passed on to the International Court, the chances of the Moon Kingdom winning the case were slim.
Wuorin’s lips rose.
‘Because it’s true that I lost my life. It’s a bit seasoned, but you have to deal with it.’
It was the power of the real culprit.
“now stop.”
Habitz spoke, cutting off Wu Lin’s voice while the officials were confused.
“Anyway, it’s all messed up, right? “Even if we kill each other and live, we won’t live long.” “So, I would like to make a suggestion. Of course, it would be a very good offer for you as well.”
“What on earth are you talking about? By what right do you have the right to move 12 countries?”
Even when I wasn’t listening, I was scared.
“You don’t have to follow it. But I guess I have no choice but to do it. “This is not a right, it’s a power.”
Satan’s eyes contained Yahweh for perhaps the first time in ages.
“Kill Sirone. I will kill anyone every hour until Yahweh dies. “Now everyone in the temple, including you, is the target.”
