Episode 119
Cardium, Warchief of Gerton.
he was a smart man
At the same time, he is a being with the most powerful power by receiving a ‘blessing’ that is superior to any guide.
All Gutten’s guides followed such a warchief wholeheartedly.
The path he suggested was right, and greatly improved Gutten.
capable leader.
A developing city… ….
All the guides had no doubt that Cardium would lead Gerten in the right direction.
In fact, he was almost right.
If it hadn’t happened that day.
perhaps.
The great Warchief of Gutten would have carried out his will without despair and discouragement.
However, the reality was not like that.
The warchief was crushed by reality.
And, having lost all motivation, he shut himself up for several years.
It was the beginning of boredom without promise.
* * *
“…Marian.”
“Say yes.”
A woman called ‘Marian’ by the warchief responded with a benevolent smile.
There was warmth in her eyes.
Endless love and care.
The warchief took it all indiscriminately, with dim eyes.
Soon his hopes were dashed, and he seemed unwilling to do anything more.
“For sure…I tried harder than anyone else. Isn’t it?”
“It was.”
“It brought many people to Gerton and made it abundant. I also made it possible for the guides to fulfill their duties in various ways.”
Slowly the warchief spoke of his achievements.
Achievements acknowledged by others.
Apparently in his generation Gertten became wealthy and developed.
I was so desperate now.
At one time, more than anyone else, he worked hard for the future of Gerton.
She smiled bitterly and slowly wrapped her arms around the warchief’s head.
like a child
“You did nothing wrong. I did my best… …Then, how could it be a sin to be broken by unreasonable things?”
“…is it.”
“The mistake was made by the religious leaders. Rather, selling the name of God arbitrarily and forcing you to be unreasonable is the most disrespectful act… …”
Marianne said indignantly.
“If that is not heresy, then what is heresy?”
“iced coffee.”
At those words, the warchief closed his eyes tightly.
I don’t know anything else, but I thought this moment was so cozy.
He recalled what he had heard from an archbishop of the church.
Did you say Killian?
-Is Ruth a group that believes in heresy? That’s not even funny.
Heresy.
In other words, the great god the archbishop was so proud of seemed nothing more than a ‘heretic’ in the archbishop’s eyes.
“…Yes, heresy rather refers to those who denigrate others with such narrow-minded thoughts.”
“That’s right.”
Marianne hugged him tightly.
It was like a virgin.
The warchief closed his eyes.
People around her said she needed to get away from her right away, but they thought that was wrong.
she’s not bad
Wasn’t it the woman who embraced him when he went crazy under the pressure of his sense of shame and inferiority?
Marian whispered kindly.
“I will help the Great Root to fulfill your wishes.”
“iced coffee…”
“The Holy Land of Gerton. I will never forget the grace that gave me access to it.”
Holy Land.
It seems that there was an order from the ancestors to not let anyone in, but… ….
‘What’s the point?’
No matter how much I struggle, nothing changes.
Then wouldn’t it be a bad thing to bet the future of Gerton on this lovely woman?
“Yes, if you…”
“Yes, that is enough.”
Unfortunately.
The warchief couldn’t see Marianne’s expression as she was in her arms.
A sultry purple eye glow.
‘Ah really.’
It’s easy.
Archdemon Mayril laughed.
* * *
After hearing all the circumstances from Kum, Lian and the butler’s atmosphere calmed down for a while.
“…It sounds like you’re late.”
“It seems that this one was one step faster.”
The butler frowned and looked around.
On the surface, the gut is always the gut.
It was crowded with tourists and guides from outside as a tourist destination that has recently been in the limelight.
There is no sense of crisis anywhere that the Great Devil has encroached on Gurten.
“More than that, young boy.”
“why.”
“It wasn’t a big deal, was it? It’s not like it’s a big deal, but it just looks like a girten.”
“Voila.”
I roughly showed both hands.
“There was never an absolute?”
“Yeah, it seemed like that.”
Rian nodded his head with a relieved expression, as if he had slowly adapted.
“I fuck…What kind of fortune are you walking around with?”
“It’s roughly for world peace, so let’s say we do.”
“…Oh yeah.”
Lian looked at me with eyes that lacked the slightest amount of trust.
I knew this bastard would finally become suspicious of people.
“Anyway, it’s not a good situation no matter how you look at it. Did you expect something like this?”
“of course.”
I’d be lying if I said I was fully aware of the situation.
I expected it anyway.
The fact that Mayril has already encroached on Gutten and rolls it to his liking.
“As Senior Guide Coom said, it seems that the warchief was completely caught up in Meiril’s suggestion. Meylil was in a hurry more than I thought.”
“…That archevil.”
Ryan frowned.
Due to the events of the past year, the butler and Lian knew quite a bit about Maylil.
“I don’t even get tired of it. No matter how much you break it, it comes back again.”
“Maybe this will be the last time.”
I answered firmly.
Merrill has tried many schemes so far. And all those plans went awry.
Even among the same great devils, Mayril’s evaluation must already be hitting the bottom… ….
maybe this will be the last time
The devil who lags behind eventually falls prey to his own people.
“So what are your plans?”
“First, leave it as it is.”
“…hmm?”
At my words, Lian’s eyes widened.
Same goes for the butler.
“You want to leave it as it is for a while? The devil’s plan… …”
“That’s why I will.”
“…yes?”
“Mayril must have already predicted what I was going to do and prepared accordingly.”
There is only one last thing for Meiril to do here.
To destroy the tomb so that I can’t get my hands on the sacred object.
At the same time, he will corrupt Gerten and use it to regain his power.
It’s definitely a plan to stop.
But even Meiril knows that her plans are fatal to me.
Of course, there must be something prepared to anticipate my response and counterattack me accordingly.
I had no intention of moving according to Meiril’s plan.
no in the first place.
“Meyril’s plans are bound to be delayed. You won’t know yet.”
“…What do you mean?”
“therefore.”
If you think about it now, it was an opportunity you should never miss before returning.
As a result, I missed it at the time.
“Meyril is saying that Gurton’s Holy Land cannot be interpreted in a short period of time. It is that difficult.”
There is a simple way to solve it.
Heading to the Holy Land accompanied by a ‘guide’ recognized by the tomb.
But at this point, Mayril doesn’t know who it is.
in other words.
“Even if I can’t, I’ll be lost for a few days.”
“Hmm then…”
Ryan asked me.
“What are you going to do in the meantime?”
“Are you asking for something obvious?”
Didn’t you come to this beautiful tourist destination? There’s only one thing to do in the time you have left.
“I’ll have to do some sightseeing after a while.”
“…what?”
“Do some sightseeing.”
“….”
The butler and Lian quietly looked at me.
An indescribable silence passed between the two of us.
So what.
“uh…You mean tourism?”
At my words, Qum stood for a moment with his mouth open.
“Isn’t Jaegerton famous as a tourist destination? Anyway, the warchief won’t know that I, a hero, have come to Geotten.”
“Though he can.”
Kom struggled to speak.
“that…Didn’t I tell you that a great evil has come to us? I’m sorry to say this, but time is running out… …”
“Yes, it is tight.”
But I’m not saying this without knowing that.
“But I don’t fully know Girten. In particular, this labyrinthine city has enormous potential in terms of ‘direction’.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Without a detailed knowledge of the Gurton, of course, we will not be able to effectively counter the evil that lurks in advance.”
“Ah, that is…“
Yes, it might be more accurate to say research rather than tourism.”
Only then did Koom nod as if he understood.
“In that case, I should guide you. Do you just want to look around Gurton?”
“first…”
I turned my gaze toward the landscape of Gurton.
It was really twisted in all sorts of ways.
like a creature.
The road changes and the scenery changes in real time.
However, I know this Gerton’s ‘real’ identity.
[Mikhail.]
‘I know.’
Shortly responding to Set’s words, he spoke to Qom.
“Could you take me to the greatest view in Cumgerton?”
The greatest view of Gurten.
I was sure
Surely what I want is there.
* * *
“It’s unfortunate.”
The greatest view in Girton.
As a tourist destination, Gerton has all kinds of beautiful scenery, but among them, there are places that are particularly outstanding.
But ironically.
Most tourists don’t see that superb view.
The reason is simple.
This is because even among countless guides, those who can reach this magnificent view are limited.
one of them is right.
“The place we’re heading to right now is a place the warchief stopped by quite often.”
It is Kum, a senior guide who is guiding me to that magnificent view.
“Is that so.”
“Of course, it was before he did that.”
Before the warchief of Gerton despairs.
would you say that
He was once famous for being the most intelligent and righteous of all the Warchiefs of Gurton.
[Human beings are very easily broken. It’s a pity.]
‘That’s right.’
I also saw countless people who were frustrated and broken by the harsh reality.
Before returning… …
Most of them were like that.
Among the upright heroes who seemed never to be broken, many of them were broken and collapsed.
so that.
I could understand the warchief to some extent.
The warchief’s despair was also quite related to the karma of the kingdom.
“But doesn’t Kuom hate me?”
“…yes?”
Kum asked as if he meant something in response to my sudden question.
“What are you saying all of a sudden?”
“The warchief knows why. Gyoguk’s laxity made it that way.”
Archbishop Killian, who was encroached upon by Meyril and destroyed the Church.
It was definitely because of him.
Long ago, he thoroughly destroyed the Warchief’s pride and branded him as a heretic at will.
“I heard that in the past, our archbishop denigrated Root in front of the warchief and burned the symbol in front of him.”
It was a time when the kingdom was at its peak.
And Gerton… …Although he grew up, everything was incomplete compared to Kyoguk.
“The warchief couldn’t do anything. He was carrying a girten.”
“that…”
Kum hesitated for a moment.
There was once a time when the church government persecuted the geotons.
To be precise, the heresy called ‘Archbishop Killian’ took on the husk of the church.
But anyway.
After all, it originated from the kingdom.
Even if they hated me, the hero chosen by the church in Gerton, I could accept it.
Kum stopped walking.
“At that time…Isn’t that the time when the hero wasn’t involved?”
“That is true. At that time, I was just the heir to Walpurgis.”
one.
“Anyway, it doesn’t change that I’m the current hero.”
“That is true. one.”
Saying that, Kum stopped for a moment and looked back at me.
“I trust my eyes.”
“That word.”
“The hero in front of me now is at least not of the same type as the archbishop of that day.”
A blessing Kum received from ‘Root’.
“My eyes are from Root. He gave me the qualification to judge the things of the world. That is why I trust my judgment and my eyes.”
He laughed when he said that.
It seems natural to do this.
“Because Root is telling me to trust you.”
Even India to this superb view.
That means the root.
said the tomb guide.
Great mage who transcends by regression
