Player Returns After 10,000 Years Episode 359
Sprinkling fortunes (1)
The eradication of accumulated corruption has begun.
Sihun Kim visited and subdued the aristocrats who had been attached to Fidelio and sucking the blood of the people of the empire one by one.
The aristocrats tried to stop Kim Si-hun by handing weapons to the knights of the territory, soldiers, mercenaries, and mercenaries,
but to no avail.
Kim Si-hoon entered the territory single-bloodedly, overpowered the people of the territory who were forcibly driven to the battlefield, and dragged out the corrupt aristocrats.
Upon hearing the news about Kim Si-hun, the nobles desperately ran away with rebellion and excuses, but it was not easy to run away from him, who had great mobility and a wide sense of humor.
In addition, the active cooperation of the people of the empire continued. They
conveyed
the location of the fleeing nobles to Kim Si-hoon in real time, venting the anger they had been subjected to by the nobles.
Literally turning the entire empire into an enemy, the pro-Fideliopa nobles soon fell into a miserable situation awaiting Iris’s punishment while imprisoned in the dungeon of the imperial castle.
Whoops. It’s very hard. Are you doing this to impress Kangwoo?
While organizing the report, Lilith burst into laughter.
Kang Woo turned his head. How is your progress?
I caught almost all of them. The return of the aristocrats who were demoted because they were out of sight of Fidelio is also proceeding smoothly.
Keep an eye on them too. Just because you didn’t stick with Fidelio doesn’t mean you’re innocent.
Whoops. Did something like this happen? Even if you have dark feelings, as long as Mr. Sihun is there, you will not be able to make a sound and be distorted.
that’s it again
Kang Woo nodded. Willingly or not, it would be impossible for the nobles to install it like before.
By the way, did you find out who the lady was then?
As soon as I listed the Lucifer Coin, I remembered the woman who made it crash at a dazzling speed.
Lilith shook her head. no. Not yet. But now, they are slowly increasing the number of informants on the Erno continent. I guess we’ll get some info soon.
okay? How did you get the informants?
Whoops. want to hear it?
Lilith smiled broadly and turned part of her hair into green tentacles.
Green tentacles dripping with gooey slime writhed on Kang Woo’s arm.
Kang Woo’s expression turned pale.
…no.
I don’t want to know. Ho Ho. Then I’ll go back to increasing the sources.
Lilith waved her hand lightly and turned around.
I tried to ask who the heck he was using as an informant, but he soon fell silent.
‘I don’t know what to do.’
I sympathized a little with who the poor tentacle’s victims were, but it didn’t matter anyway. ‘It’s only me.’ It doesn’t matter if they are poor or not.
Kangwoo nodded and looked away from Lilith. Oh really Kang Woo. Yes?
He shuddered and turned his head again.
They say the balrog is coming back today. oh yeah Kang Woo’s eyes lit up.
In the middle, the Balrog Party, which had been wandering around the city with Kim Si-hoon, soon broke up with Kim Si-hoon again and was investigating the entire continent.
‘I think I’ll see you in about a month.
Time passed like that before I knew it because this and that happened.
‘Should I go out to meet the kids?’
Kang Woo stood up from his seat with a smile on his lips.
rainfall!
Do-do-do.
Echidna ran over with a bright smile and hugged him.
Is a dragon really a dragon?
Despite his small body, the strength contained in the arm that hugged his waist was enormous.
‘I’m going to break my back, Echidna.
Kang Woo smiled and stroked Echidna’s head.
how have you been doing?
Hehe! Hehe! rainfall! rainfall!
Echidna, not in the mood to answer, buried her face in his arms and breathed heavily.
‘Since when did dragons become dogs? The momentum of absorbing the smell is unusual.
Echidna’s excited voice was heard. She
screamed, rubbing her nose as hard as she could near Kang-woo’s stomach .
Hehe! Nose porridge! ‘What do you mean that?
I tilted my head at the unknown words, and
before I could ask the meaning, the Balrog walked over.
How have you been, Mr. Kang? uh. How have you been too? Kang Woo waved his hand with a happy expression
.
When I saw the balrog after a month or so, a smile spread across my lips for some reason.
this profit! Get out of the way!
Halkyon pulled Echidna, who was rubbing her head with her nose stuck in Kangwoo’s body.
On the outside, it’s just a weak woman, but her true identity is an ancient monster.
Looking at physical specs alone, Echidna couldn’t stand the power far beyond the Archduke.
evil!
Echidna bounced back and glared at Halkyon.
Kang Woo clicked his tongue and
lightly punched Halkyon in the head.
What are you doing. ugh Halkyon clenched his forehead and wept.
Kang Woo passed by her and grabbed Echidna’s hand, who had fallen to the floor, and raised her up.
I asked as I lightly brushed the dirt off my butt.
how was it.
It was so lonely because there was no rainfall. no, not that
Did you get anything?
‘Honestly, I’m not expecting much.
Although he was told to look for clues on the demon’s corpse, in fact, it was only sent out with a suitable reason to create a stage for Kim Si-hoon to play an active role.
Well, don’t expect too much… I did find something suspicious. Cha Yeon-ju cut off her words and entered.
what?
Kang Woo frowned.
Are you suspicious?
Cha Yeon-joo shrugged.
I don’t know either. There’s nothing special about it from my point of view, but the balrog made a fuss about it for no reason.
Kang Woo turned his head toward the balrog.
*
The Balrog gently closed his eyes and then took something out of his arms. It was a box the size of a palm. Kang-woo opened the box. sand?
The box contained red sand. Kangwoo’s expression suddenly stiffened as he was about to ask what the hell this was. This…
yes that’s right.
The Balrog nodded. It is the land of Nine Heavens Hell.
Kangwoo lifted the red sand in the box with his hand. He brought his tongue to his mouth and put some dirt in his mouth.
bloody smell.
And a faint Magi mingled in it.
It forms the red earth of Nine Heavens Hell.
–
was dirt.
…fuck.
Kang Woo’s expression darkened. My mind was complicated.
Why does the soil mixed with demonic exist on the Ernore continent? where did you find it
Found in a village north of Ernore.
Town?
Even if it was a village… it wasn’t a village where people lived. It was ruined as if it had been attacked by monsters.
Kang Woo’s eyes narrowed. He touched the red soil in the box with his hand.
Were there no demons or monsters around?
yes there wasn’t How far is the soil spread? It was about a hundred meters. wasn’t it anywhere else?
yes. However, Magi’s aura itself spread throughout the village.
He kept his mouth shut.
There is a village in ruins and the range is limited to about 100 meters.
There are too few clues, but the possibilities for guessing are limited. … Someone performed a summoning ritual. Demon Summoning Ritual performed by the Demon Cult. It is highly likely that the reason why the village was in ruins was that they were sacrificed as a sacrifice in the summoning ceremony.
So you’re saying there’s a group like the Demon Cult here too?
Yeonju Cha asked with a twist on her expression.
Kang Woo shook his head.
It’s a demonic cult.
It’s ‘only’ the devil’s cult.
Demons can’t do this. said firmly.
Yeonju Cha frowned as if she couldn’t understand.
What do you mean? Even the Demonic Cult members just sacrificed people and did the summoning ceremony.
that’s the problem
Kang Woo continued with his deeply sunken eyes. The Demon Cult invested a lot for that summoning ritual.
Still, the ‘earth’ itself of the Nine Heavens Hell had never been moved.
Summoning in a range of over 100 meters, it wasn’t that range even during the Balrog. But these guys only succeeded in summoning on this scale by sacrificing people in one village.
How much would it be if you add up the number of people in the remote village?
dozens at least. At most, it would not exceed three hundred.
In particular, the fact that there was not even a report about this incident.
It means a very small village without a lord.
Just offer that number as a sacrifice.’
Neither the players nor the strong who reached the stage were sacrificed.
He succeeded in summoning such a large scale by offering ordinary people who lived in farming or farming in a village on the outskirts as sacrifices.
That’s something even rain can’t do.
Kang Woo licked his lips.
The fishy smell of blood from the red soil lingered in his mouth.
The scorching heat spreads all over the body along the spine.
throbbing. The heart races.
Anxiety Ominous Unpleasant. And
it’s fun.
The corners of the mouth went up. An exhilarating sensation passes by.
It’s a feeling I’ve been feeling for a long time. It is a feeling that has been felt for too long.
Instinct as a devil boils.
unknown enemy.
Hiding in the dark, a crouching prey waiting to wield its sharpened claws.
The intense desire to find him, crush and eat him heats up his body.
‘Who is it?’
I can not know. I don’t have too many clues right now. ‘It doesn’t matter.’
Kang Woo smiled.
It cooled the hot body.
no matter who
No matter what ulterior motives they hide, no matter what plans they make, no matter how much power they accumulate.
It didn’t matter. ‘anyway.’
It is you who wins.
It is you who wins.
It has always been and will be in the future.
Is that the end of the clues you found? yes. No other clues could be found.
hmm. For now, tell Lilith later. I want you to investigate this matter as well.
I will follow your orders.
The Balrog bowed his head deeply.
Kangwoo looked down at the balrog and was lost in thought for a moment.
‘I’d like to go to that town right now
.
He had other things to do for himself.
Kang Woo shook his head, putting aside his lingering regrets.
‘If the Balrog said he couldn’t find any other clues.’
Even if you go anyway, it will be the same that you can’t find any other clues.
It is right to focus on the original plan for now. ‘It’s almost over now, though. To restore the imperial power to Iris
, who makes Kim Si-hoon a hero of the continent,
and to revive the empire again.
Making people who had nothing to lose something to lose. ‘Still one step short.
Currently, there is only one thing Kim Si-hoon lacks.
This is a flaw that can never be compensated for by saving citizens from monster attacks just by killing corrupt nobles.
‘For Sihun.’ no tradition
From the point of view of continental people, Kim Si-hun is literally a hero who has fallen from the sky.
Because he has done such a wonderful job, he is cheering right now, but in the end, there will be people who will bite and hang on to that part.
It was natural.
Because Kim Si-hoon was not from the Arnan Empire.
To put it simply, a foreigner who suddenly appeared from nowhere came to solve a national crisis that occurred in Korea.
‘Does it feel similar to General MacArthur?’
Although the circumstances are slightly different. Although even General MacArthur was treated as a hero, he was not mentioned less than a Korean-born hero.
anyway.
He’s being treated as a hero enough for now, but here’s a way to drive a wedge.
‘While resolving the lack of tradition in Kim Si-hoon.’
At the same time, there is a way to make Iris’s evaluation also a cake.
Mr. Layla. I have a moment to tell you. Ah yes. Mr. Kang Woo. What’s going on? Leila thought seriously about what she had just heard, but
turned her head to Kang Woo’s sudden words.
No, to be precise, there is something to ask for your understanding.
