Episode 250
Episode 92. The end of the Yeongji War, the beginning of the real war (8)
I never thought I would encounter that human here.
As soon as I saw it, I frowned. It was because it reminded me of the children who memorized the scriptures of Jailism while their souls had gone out in the remote caves of Yoheim.
Lot rolled up the sleeves of his black robe and reached out to Yuma.
“I was waiting.”
“These days, people just say, ‘Why were you waiting for me to come?’”
Yuma answered the handshake with a dry expression and said. Unlike the first time I saw him in Joheim, Lot was wearing an eye patch over his left eye.
“How has Brother Igor been? How did it feel to go back to life outside the church?”
It was not an ill-intentioned accusation. A fairly plain tone. Lot didn’t seem to care much about this Gor turning his back on Zeilism.
It didn’t match the image of a ‘pseudo’ in Yuma’s head.
At a time like this, Yuma thought it would be a fake show to set it up with a torch while shouting, “Traitors are punished by death!”
In fact, before returning, I had heard that the Jailgyo often did such things.
‘Well, now I can’t just classify Jailgyo as a cult.’
Yuma unexpectedly thought that there might be quite a lot of information he could hear from Lot.
I knew them as a monster group who enjoyed self-mortification before returning, but after meeting Rugal, I heard that they were doing it for their own sake in their own way.
Also, the probability that Jailism was related to Hugo’s death before returning was high. It was incomprehensible even now that Kagor forced Igor to enter the church.
“haha. Outside, love and romance abound. High Priest Lot.”
“The darkness is coming. I hope Brother Igor can keep love and romance intact in the future.”
Yuma asked the village chief to hand over the people for a while. Soon, the talented people gathered at Mus Icahn would gather.
When the village chief took the attendants out, only Yuma and Lot were left in the living room.
“The party has grown a lot while I haven’t seen them.”
“Why are you here?”
“Because I’ve decided to help you as the high priest of the Zeil Church.”
“I’ve never asked the Jail Church for help.”
“It doesn’t matter. What happened to the boy then? The boy whom the Apostle of Zeil passed by.”
The boy Lot was talking about was Evan.
Natalie’s eyebrows furrowed as Evan’s name came up.
“In Lot Johaim, you said that Zeil’s apostle would surely defeat Amanzo. But now, Amanzo is raising troops in High Mac and starting a war.”
At that time, the magician who helped him in the wreckage of the underworld was Risol. What Lot described as ‘the apostle of Zeil’ was highly likely to be Resol under the circumstances.
However, Yuma did not bother to mention Rizol’s name. It was to see how Lot would react.
“The Apostle of Zeil attempted to seal Amanzo at that time. However, it seems that the cunning Demon God escaped from the apostle’s light.”
“Looks like it? Hey, he said he’s an apostle of Zeil? You are the chief priest of the Xyil religion.
But are you saying you don’t know exactly where he was?”
“That’s right. He is an apostle of Zeil, not an apostle of the Zeil religion.”
After all, there is no way that a transcendental person like Risol would be placed under the supervision of the Jail Church.
Yuma thought so and nodded.
At first glance, it may sound like a pun, but Lot is an accurate description of the relationship between Risol and Zeilgyo.
It was safe to say that the two were not related at all except that they served the same god.
“Shall I guess one? The boy who followed you to Joachim had his body stolen by Amanzo.
Yes?”
“You’re still in a bad mood and cocky. Don’t make fun of the snout.
before killing them.”
Natalie’s eyes lit up with life.
“How did know?”
When Yuma asked calmly, Lot smiled and removed the blindfold from his left eye.
Lot’s eyes, hidden under an eyepatch, were perfectly round, like Theron’s face.
‘Ha… Why did Theron and Lot both have faces like this?’
However, there was one big difference between Lot and Theron. Lot’s left eye was not simply distorted.
Hwaaaaaa….
A small darkness was swirling where the eyeballs should be.
It was a very grotesque shape.
“Look into these eyes.”
Yuma looked at the darkness in Lot’s left eye.
Then, to my surprise, I saw the soldiers of Ragatino Rollman Di marching through the little darkness. As if standing right in front of you, a vivid scene unfolded.
‘what’s this!?’
Soldiers armed with ironclad screaming. The corpses of civilians were full under their feet.
They were on their way to their next destination without cleaning up the traces of the massacre.
None of them had any light in their eyes. Between the ranks, the deviant monster wolf seen in Joheim was also visible. It was a much more powerful army than I had imagined.
The darkness in Lot’s eyes quickly illuminated the endless line of soldiers. As if he was running between soldiers, his vision changed drastically.
The last thing the shimmering darkness showed was Ragatino Rollmandi and the boy next to him riding a horse that had turned into a monster.
The boy was Amanzo with the face of Evan.
As soon as he saw that, Yuma widened his eyes, and at that moment, Amanzo turned his head.
And Yuma could feel it intuitively.
That Amanzo turned his head to examine the person spying on him. Amanzo’s eyes were clearly on Yuma.
shit.
The corner of Amanzo’s mouth was torn in the shape of a crescent moon. A grotesque expression that an ordinary human could never make. That mean laugh was a declaration of war.
‘Still, a guy called God is such a childish provocation.’
Stunned, Yuma summoned Amula and shrugged. It was a strangely obnoxious move.
As if it had worked, Amanzo on the other side erased his smile and glared at Yuma.
“Where are you laughing at the subject of not being able to keep a single sword? Cheeky.”
Soon after, Lot put the blindfold on again, and Amanzo and the soldiers disappeared.
Except for Yuma, the rest of the party had their eyes wide open with bewildered expressions.
“Explain Lot “It is as you see it. Does it feel like a trick or an illusion?”
“Tell me why your eyes can show you this scene.”
“I don’t know that either.”
“what?”
“Not too long ago, the faces of some believers, including myself, began to be crushed. I confirmed it by letter, and by that time my eyes had changed like this. Less than a month. Yuma got a guess and asked the exact date when Lot’s eyes had become that way.
It was the same day that he met Rugal and summoned Akyla from the Void Dimension.
The terrifying faces of Theron and Lot seemed to have something to do with Hwa.
Of course it wasn’t certain. It could have been a coincidence that had nothing to do with Amoulah.
Yuma did not explain to Lot about summoning Amula from the Void Dimension. Because I just couldn’t trust him.
“I consider this also to be the revelation of the great Zeill. Mr. Yuma. Now it’s time for the village chief to call in talented people, so let’s discuss the future with them.”
While Yuma was trying to answer, the door outside opened and the sound of people entering was heard.
The village chief’s house was not very spacious.
When about 30 people came in at once, the inside quickly became noisy.
“oh! Are you a prophet!”
“I heard that there is also a contractor for the King of Spirits!”
Thirty-two people came to the island after hearing that there was a prophet of liberation from slavery.
All of them were on the verge of being unable to bring down Rong Doge, the symbol of the Eastern slave trade, with Rugal behind them.
The appearance of the person who destroyed Lung Doge at once was a sufficient reason for them to overdo it and find Rado Mus Icahn.
“I am Yuma Drake, not Seonji. He is the baron of Kyle in the West.”
As soon as Yuma revealed his identity, the chaotic atmosphere in the hall became cold. I had heard that it was a person with a Western accent, but I didn’t know that it was Yuma.
“And since I’m a contractor for the King of Spirits… I think it’s better if you don’t know my name.”
Ballinan did not reveal that he was a Povian family. If I revealed that, it seemed that the already tense atmosphere would subside even more.
The reason why the 32 talented people were embarrassed to hear Yuma’s name was no different.
It was because Kyle’s aristocrats got involved in the matter in the East, so it was thought that it could of course turn into a diplomatic problem.
Yuma understood their intentions and brought up a bold story from the beginning.
“I received a promise from Emperor Rugal not too long ago about the black trade of slaves. He will no longer look after the slave traders. I swear by my name.”
Yuma had brought a piece of parchment with Rugal’s seal on it when he and Sevra escaped the Eltainer Imperial Castle.
It was a piece of parchment with only the names Rugal Raizin and Yuma Drake written on it. It is as if allies of equal positions are marked side by side in diplomatic documents.
Among the talented people gathered here, there was no one who did not know the seal of Emperor Rugal.
Yuma began to describe the process from freeing the slaves to building a personal friendship with Rugal, in a slightly dramatized way.
“…that’s how it happened. But the important thing now is not to free the slaves. It seems that it hasn’t been told to the people here yet, but now the rebellion is starting from High Mac.”
“Treason, what kind of buzzword is that?”
“No, treason is not the right word. Have you ever heard of demon possession?”
“A demon possession?”
“A mysterious high-ranking demon possesses the body of Lagatino Rollmandi and is trying to overturn the Orient.”
Yuma tried hard to explain, but of course the talented people couldn’t accept it easily.
In the meantime, Lot, who had built up his trust as a prophet, stepped forward to help, but the reaction of the talented people was apathetic.
‘It doesn’t matter what the reaction is.
You’ll be disappointed in me anyway, and each of you will realize something’s wrong on the way back to your home base.’
Originally, the reason why Yuma induced talented people to gather in Mus Icahn was to secure his own power base.
If Rugal’s true identity had been a human tyrant instead of Black Dragon Soluto, Yuma would have used them to create public opinion.
However, there was no need for such unnecessary work now that the situation has changed rapidly.
The reason why Yuma came to Mus Icahn was because she wanted the talented people who were waiting for her to return home quickly.
Shouldn’t the leadership of each country, each province, and each city be prepared for the real war that will take place in the future?
“I can’t believe it! Ivosio Yuma Drake. Stop talking nonsense! Do you think we waited only for you here because we had plenty of time? The East needs change, and it needs a focal point to lead that change.”
“Right! We expected that from you, who was rumored to be a prophet. It’s not such an absurd story, it’s time for a new alliance to keep Rugal in check!”
“Besides, that kid is a contract holder for the King of Spirits? who would believe that? To be honest, I don’t even believe you are Yuma Drake. There’s no way Rugal would have put a seal like that.”
“What kind of demon possession is possessed by demons! Aren’t you trying to get into trouble because you think there will be problems with the West because of La Gatineau Rollmandi?”
As each person started raising their voice, there was no separate battlefield.
Yuma did not give any explanation to their questions.
It was because I didn’t feel the need to explain it in more detail.
Who are you going to persuade at a time when you are still aware of the fact that a war has broken out, but you can’t really feel it?
In the end, it was a problem that would naturally be solved when they returned to their base and looked at the atmosphere.
“Sorry if I disappoint you. But if you go as far as Ajif’s Light or Silma, you will be able to find out. What is going on inland.”
When Yuma answered like that, the talented players spat out swear words and made a fuss. He was ready to rush at Yuma and the others at any moment.
‘Should I show my energy and make it quiet first. Everyone seems to be overly excited.’
However, exactly one hour later, the powerful had no choice but to believe everything Yuma said.
It is because Rugal’s exclusive super-sized ship ‘Heart of Kantra’ is anchored in Mus Icahn.
