Episode 213 Mad Kingdom (1)
Have 20 Days Passed Aboard?
land began to appear.
At first glance, there are three buildings that are quite tall.
As soon as I was curious about the building that looked like a tower, the boat stopped completely.
“Let it come down slowly.”
I feel better when I step on the ground for the first time in a while, leaving behind Iriel, who gives instructions to the surroundings.
It was the 20th that made me feel deeply grateful for the land.
It wasn’t hard physically, but it was quite exhausting mentally.
At that time, when I finally arrived, I felt like I was going to cry.
While waiting for the wagon to come out of the ship, Iriel approached.
“There will be no meeting in the kingdom of Frias. So we have to go three more days by carriage.”
It was already expected that he would have to go further by carriage, so he refused to do so.
Moreover, it is unreasonable to come to the port to meet you, no matter how much the deity you worship is a holy country that is sister to each other.
She crossed her arms and trembled.
“…Goddess Prias presides over adversity and hardships. So do their followers. You better be prepared.”
It was Iriel, not anyone else.
How could she, who wouldn’t even blink at anything, was so frightened?
Ray frowned slightly.
“Adversity and hardship… Only the believers have become pitiful.”
Goddess Gaia presides over abundance, so her followers also enjoy abundance.
Then, what should the followers of the Holy Kingdom of Frias enjoy?
You must be enjoying hardships and trials.
After concluding that the Kingdom of Frias was a gathering place for perverts who couldn’t live without suffering, he got on the wagon that just came out.

‘Oh, come to think of it, when it comes to stories about the gods, I think Iriel knows best.’
If you go up to the root of being a family of heroes, it starts with God.
Like saints and saints, beings artificially created by God.
If it was Iriel, wouldn’t he know something?
I talk to Iriel, who looks worried about something.
“I have a question for Iriel…”
“…Tell me. Phew….”
He took a deep breath as he closed the book he was reading.
“Did you know that the lineage of heroes…?”
“…I know, but…”
I didn’t expect it, but I didn’t expect to know.
He quickly approached Iriel’s side.
I looked at her for an explanation, and then she raised a finger.
“The lineage of heroes… Half right and half wrong.”
“Are you half right?”
“Because they are beings who become stronger by killing each other. Only one person in the family can be a hero. If you think about it that way, since heroes only come from their own families, the lineage of heroes is also half true.”
This time he too was shocked.
kill each other?
I never heard from my parents either.
After looking out the window for a moment, she continues.
“Shall we tell you a little story for clarification? In the old days, black magicians were treated as proper wizards and the Mage Tower existed.”
I can’t even imagine how old it was.
Even back then, 300 years ago, warlocks were treated as heretics.
Perhaps the old days she was talking about were more than 300 years old.
“The problem started after that. The magic of the black magicians summoned demons. They ruled the sky and waged an endless war with all races of the world. Countless dragons were killed and unseen species were slain. It was a war that was so long that it would be funny to be alive.”
“…”
“So God made it. The existence of a hero who will follow his will as it is. It is said that he personally gave two blessings…”
“Two?”
There was only one blessing from God he knew.
Showing talents in all fields and abilities beyond that of criminals in the growth of life span, concentration, and memorization beyond human beings.
But two?
Wasn’t there just one blessing from God?
“Yes, with the first blessing, God gave them potential beyond ordinary humans… With this, they deserve to be called heroes among humans. However, it will not end the war with the demons.”
Probably so.
No matter how strong the humans were, the dragon wouldn’t have been able to overwhelm the beings who would have had to risk their lives to fight.
He probably would have stayed after being crushed.
“It was the second blessing that they gave me from there, but… it was cruel enough to say that it was a blessing.”
“….”
“God made them so that they could take their power and experience by killing each other.”
heh heh heh
All the laughs came out.
This isn’t a god, it’s very murderous.
“That’s why only one hero was born in the village. That’s its pedigree. It is said that the artificially created hero committed suicide after ending the war… but I don’t know the exact truth.”
couldn’t have committed suicide
No, even if he tried to commit suicide, he would probably have failed.
If the last hero died, then the descendants, the parents, would not have existed in the first place.
There, another question arose.
The god of this world is not the only god.
However, those involved in humans seem to be limited.
So, who the hell created this bloodline?
“Who is the god who created that lineage of heroes?”
Could it be Gaia?
Did Gaia, who is involved in every bad thing, have to intervene again?
Perhaps reading his thoughts, Iriel shook his head.
“It was not made by the Goddess Gaia we serve. I dare to say that Goddess Frias made it.”
“…”
The sisters are very friendly.
I feel like giving them a round of applause as they create saints and heroes for each other.
Of course, I know it’s to end the war with the demons, but why do we have to become stronger by killing each other?
Iriel answered that question.
“Maybe it’s because He presides over tribulation and trials? Just as we who were chosen by Gaia, the goddess of abundance, live affluent lives with all the power and power, those created by the goddess Prias must always endure pain and trials.”
After speaking, he thought it was too much even if he thought about it, so he slightly turned his head and added a word.
“It’s just my opinion.”
If so, isn’t it a very miserable life?
A deathmatch in which you spend a year in pain and risk your life from then on?
I’m not kidding!
It is clear that the sisters got along well and turned around as a pair.
Otherwise, how could he have thought of putting such a crazy idea into action?
If you listen to the story, most of them are destined to live a hard life and die.
The one hero who killed everyone and survived is also probably not in a very pleasant mood.
pedigree family.
I mumble quietly thinking about their lives.
“It’s like being made to be sacrificed.”
A lineage that is forced to sacrifice in the name of a god and has to give up being human while living a long lifespan.
Even a death match created by a god who had gone mad in the past.
My life schedule is very eventful.
He sighed and leaned against the back of the carriage.
“I don’t know where they are gathered, do you?”
“I don’t know about that either. All I know is the related history…”
I shook my hand at Iriel with an apologetic expression.
“no. The story so far has been helpful enough.”
“Then why did you ask about this story?”
“I guess I’m kind of related.”
Iriel was astonished at his words.
Are you related!
Are you saying it has to do with the hero?
‘Wait a minute… At that age, with this level of brute force and resourcefulness…’
There is only one answer.
The lineage of heroes itself.
Isn’t it not related, but the saint itself inherited the lineage of the hero?
“Ray… I can’t believe it…”
“That’s right. It hasn’t been long since I found out about it, but my family says so.”
“Oh my God… what is this…”
What kind of genealogy is this!
Iriel barely swallowed the words behind his throat.
A hero created by the goddess Frias, and at the same time a saint chosen by the goddess Gaia!
‘Ah… Gaia-sama…’
Why is the goddess in charge of abundance giving me trials!
Isn’t this cheating! What an excuse!
I felt like I wanted to ask right now.
However, I can’t speak.
How should I relieve this stuffiness!
Iriel silently started hitting the back of the wagon with his small fists.
Peruk- Peruk-
Then it was Ray who was embarrassed.
I knew it wasn’t normal before, but I never thought it would be this crazy.
“Why is that…”
“No. just Never mind.”
I can’t help but care, but I don’t want to get involved.
When he was seriously contemplating whether he should move the wagon, the wagon stopped and the commander of the Holy Knights announced that he was going to camp.
* * *
After three camps, the castle began to appear.
It is a castle built on a considerable hill.
Selonia Castle, where they live, is also on the upper side, but this is more serious than that.
Shall I say that I am taking on hardship and adversity?
Thinking of building a castle on top of a cliff must have turned around.
Not only does the ground look weak, but the side of the castle protruding over the cliff is quite outstanding, whether it be a balcony or not.
Well, the officer looks good, but I can’t even sleep because of the anxiety that I don’t know when it will collapse.
I am muttering unconsciously.
“…This is astounding as it is. Is it an ordeal where you don’t know when you will die?”
“Put.”
She smiled without realizing it.
However, the new color is immediately corrected.
“We have to get there by the end of the day, so let’s hurry.”
“All right.”
The wagon starts to speed up and gradually closes the distance between the achievements.
Perhaps because of the long procession, the villagers looked curiously at it.
As the attention was focused, thanks to that, I was able to quickly step on the entrance procedure to the guards.
“You may go in.”
Is it because I feel like the guard knights’ faces are drawn?
As we entered the gate, we were greeted by maids who came out to guide us.
“welcome. You must be tired from the long journey, but I will pray to Goddess Frias. Everyone, please kneel in your place.”
“… such crazy.”
Unbeknownst to me, the sound came out.
It was an abusive language that became the beginning of suffering and trials.
