“That’s right.”
“This person?”
“Something though. Hmm…”
‘When you’re in, things work out strangely. There are some suspicious parts, but it makes things so easy that it doesn’t matter. grunt At least, being together is comfortable.’
uh? Did you know? It’s a little touching. I thought I didn’t think much of it because I wasn’t usually conscious of it. You know.
“Have you been relying on me that much? hmm i can’t help it If Mr. Shay wants it that way, I’ll be there to help.”
I made some concessions, but the regressor said in a fit of anger.
“under? isn’t that enough? In the first place, you’re not helpful in fighting. You are in charge of negotiations, not combat!”
“A negotiator? Was I in that role?!”
“Then what did you think? You seduced women and moved people with just your words, but it wasn’t very helpful in direct combat, right?”
That’s harsh! How many dead lines have I crossed!
Until now, there were others like Regressor and Tyr, so I left it to you. I can use the power of a normal human!
“Sheesh. So, did you do well on the Thunder God hunt alone? I’ll be lying comfortably here and watching out the window.”
“joy. I meant that from the beginning.”
Great. I also made a rough alibi, so I can move at that time.
As I headed toward the room with footsteps thumping, the regressor who was watching muttered something in a barely audible voice.
“…but I’m still relying on it.”
“yes? I beg your pardon?”
“Oh, I didn’t say anything!”
‘That child’s ears are also bright! How the hell did you hear that? I was talking to myself!’
Talking to yourself is something you do alone.
Claudia’s morning is with water mist. As the cloud falls, it forms on the Claudia water source, but some do not sink and spread out in all directions. The dispersed water vapor condenses into dew during the cold night, and they lie sound asleep on the ground until the morning sun wakes them up.
And in the morning, it becomes a cloud again and fills the ground. Picky people will correct that it’s not a cloud, but water mist, but from the point of view of a drop of water, what does it mean to call it water? The fact that they float together is more important.
Kurung Kurung Kurung. Thunder roared three times in succession. Claudia’s ringing bell used the accumulated thunder to announce that two hours had passed since sunrise. Instinctively, I looked out the window and grumbled.
“shit. Who knows if it’s not the city of clouds, and the time is also announced with the sound of thunder. I won’t be able to wake up.”
“Woof woof. aghast! bruise!”
Aji and I, who had woken up early because of the thunder bell, all grumbled.
The sun can’t be seen because of the thick fog. After noon, the fog clears and it becomes a bit brighter, but now it is no different from dawn. A thunderbolt in a glass sphere is brighter than sunlight. Because of this, ordinary people in Claudia stay inside the building in the misty morning and start their normal routine in the afternoon.
“Maybe it’s because of the similar climate, so the way you live with the Principality of the Mist is similar.”
Tyr fell in sentiment as he looked out into the fog.
“The Mist Principality is always full of water mist. Its form is invisible even in broad daylight, so that the hateful sunlight cannot reach us.”
“It deserves it. Even if Claudia is adjacent to the Cloud Falls, it is outside, but the Mist Principality is a land that comes out only when you split the Cloud Falls and enter it.”
More than here would be more, not less. Is the fog principality a fog principality for nothing? With this cloud waterfall as a roof, it is always shaded, so even vampires can roam unscathed in broad daylight.
“Looking at this scene, you realize once again that you have come close enough to the Mist Principality….
“I guess that would be the case if things at Claudia were done right.”
It is a country of vampires. I am also a bit interested. Tyrkanjaka, who was once a seed of a demon but was twisted without bearing fruit because she died under the blade of Seonghwangcheong, became a ghost instead of a god and wandered around the Nine Heavens. Her powers could not be applied to all humans, and instead, she shared her blood to create a single species called vampires.
A new species that obviously has an ecology very different from that of humans and ordinary beasts.
I’m curious about this. Do you think Seonghwangcheong is regretting that he caused the vampire species, or is he thinking that it is fortunate that the demon did not appear? It seems to be the latter, but… “Whew.
”
“yes?”
Tyr looked at me with a light smile, then put his hand on his chest and asked softly.
“Does my country have what you are looking for?”
‘What is the human king seeking so much, even if he turns the world upside down?’
I can’t express it in words, but I’m sure in my heart.
grunt These days, all dogs and cows know my true identity. It’s out of the question since you must have known it from the beginning, but Hilde and Tyr are the same. It has come to the point where even if you explain it as a lie, it will not work. There is nothing you can do about it. If I get involved with Seonghwangcheong, my identity will inevitably be revealed. At least I should consider it fortunate that the regressors still haven’t guessed my identity. If it turns out, the next round…
Ehh I don’t know. Let’s not mind the things we can’t care about. It doesn’t matter if I’m the King of Men or not. Because I’m ‘normal’ anyway. The reason I don’t boast about being the king of men is because I don’t have to.
“I don’t know if there will be or not. I don’t really like vampires.”
“…Is that so?”
‘Ordinary humans are afraid of vampires. Hugh, the king of men, will speak for them all…’
Not a bad guess, but not necessarily. A vampire is also a human being. but.
“From my point of view, Tyr is much more comfortable and friendly than other vampires.”
“You mean my me?”
Tyr asked back as if he was really surprised. She reigned as the progenitor, the archenemy of Seonghwangcheong, and was feared by all people. Even if he did not particularly enjoy it, death and slaughter were frequent daily occurrences by her side. Even so, he is human.
Compared to other vampires.
“Other vampires have their masters. I can’t do anything as long as there’s a high-ranking vampire who is the king and the ruler of them.”
The dominance exerted by higher level vampires over lower level vampires is absolute. Just as humans bound by gravity depend on the earth, the sensation of pulling all the blood in the body is different from simple respect or loyalty. It is close to domination and subordination, but it is even more vicious because it is not even a puppet. I would say it’s close to dependence.
So the vampire’s thoughts are easily changed. No matter how well I seasoned it and built up a relationship, if a higher-ranking vampire said a word, it could change my whole mindset. Even his own wind, which he had firmly believed in for hundreds of years, was bent in an instant.
Since I can’t give the vampire anything but one,
“But Tyr, though the founder, is a whole human and has his own wishes. For me, Tyr is many times more comfortable.”
In that sense, the ancestors of vampires are ordinary. Even though he has lived for a thousand years, it is his wish.
‘…I’m human. Others would dismiss it as word of mouth, but… Hearing such words from the king of humans made me feel special. Maybe that’s why the lords of all things are looking for the human king…’
Tyr cleared his throat, his eyes wandering a little.
“Oh, it’s comfortable. Is that why you were rude from the first meeting?”
“That’s rude. It’s like I’m a savage with no manners. Can you describe yourself as friendly?”
“okay. From the first meeting, we were friendly without any manners. I guess I should say that I took advantage of your rudeness because it helped us talk sooner.”
“If you look at it closely, Mr. Shay’s virtue is bigger. If Tyr kept sleeping with the underground armory door sealed, we wouldn’t even have to talk to each other.”
“That’s right. After all, it’s all because of Shay’s work. I’m not sure if I should thank you.”
Tyr smiled and looked out the window. The wheel that can be seen through the window is so huge that it shows a huge outline even in the fog. Artificial lightning flashes from the slowly turning wheel. It seems that the preparations to kill the thunder god are over.
“By the way, phew. Why don’t you go and see it?”
‘A Hugh I know wouldn’t miss a spectacle like this.’
If it’s real, I’ll go and watch it, even if it’s fried corn. It would be worth seeing even if it wasn’t Tyr who was fighting with the heavenly god. But something got stuck.
I waved my hand and said.
“I will rest this time.”
“i get it. Rest.”
‘Looks like they’re trying to do something behind our backs. I’ll help you no matter what you do, but it’s a pity not to reveal your true feelings, but if you want, I won’t bother asking.’
did you get caught already? Has it been too original these days? It wouldn’t be strange for Tyr, who had always been keen on me, to notice.
‘…and me too. There’s something I didn’t tell you.’
Tyr glanced toward Cloud Falls and smiled softly.
-Claudia’s citizens stop what they’re doing and listen. There’s something you guys need to know.
Before the fog completely cleared, Claudia’s voice resounded loudly. The citizens of Claudia stopped what they were doing and listened to the great thunderous speech. Uraehoeju said after waiting for them to fully concentrate.
-The golden spectacle stopped running.
The chatter spread. The citizens who realized the meaning of the word belatedly were astonished. What is the reason that Claudia is the best city in the country? Of course, it has prospered thanks to the power of thunder, but above all, the biggest reason is that it is the only settled city in the country. It was the only land where the golden goblet did not set foot among the nations where the golden gourd roamed the land, so they were able to accumulate the essence of alchemy on the ground.
However, if the Golden Journey had stopped, Claudia would no longer be the only settled city in the nations.
-Some brave lords and nobles from other countries stopped him. Thanks to him, the nations are now free from him.
The reason why I didn’t say that the golden mirror has disappeared is probably because I want to keep the public sentiment from fluctuating too much. In any case, the nations were places where they ate and lived with the power of the golden sutra.
-Now, great changes will come to the nations. It’s also Claudia’s turn to break the shackles and move on, who has been unable to spread her power due to the golden gyeong below and the thunder god above.
It’s hard to believe, but Urae-ju doesn’t lie. The mightiest and greatest thunderstorm in the nations is a perfect being, and such a being doesn’t need a room as insignificant as a lie.
-I will borrow the power of those who stopped the Golden Sutra to break the bad relationship with the Thunder God. For Claudia’s future.
It was only then that the residents of Claudia cheered as they realized the great intentions of Uraehoeju.
After finishing his speech, Uraehoeju turned around and walked. Following her, the Guardians of Thunder moved in unison. Not as much as Thunderstorm, but they all use the power of lightning. Most of them were dispatched to reduce the damage when fighting the Thunder God.
‘It’s bigger than I thought. When I killed the Thunder God in the previous episode, I kept it a secret and handled it quietly. what?’
In an unexpected situation, the regressor expressed doubts.
“…Isn’t that a grandiose thing to do? I can only quietly catch the Thunder God.”
Uraehoeju shook his head resolutely and replied.
“It would have been like that normally. Things are different now. The shock of the disappearance of the golden mirror is bound to come someday. Ordinary people can’t accept rapid change, so we need to inform them in advance now to minimize confusion that will come later.”
“Ah, yes. Because of the golden mirror.”
‘I was wondering why the reaction was different from the previous episode, and it was because the golden mirror disappeared. A lot has changed in this episode. Well… it’s because I got rid of the Demon God.’
When he thinks of what he has done, he feels a little proud. There are still many things left to do, but I felt a sense of satisfaction in the way I steadily progressed.
“You have to prepare too. Golden hoeju. Because you, who have the ability, should lead everyone like me. This job will be the first step.”
“…yes.”
Peru, which was a little behind, gritted its teeth and stood side by side. Watching her helpless gait, Woorehoeju spoke a little disapprovingly.
“Your complexion is not good. It would be difficult for the person who should lead everyone to be weak.”
“don’t worry. It’s a problem caused by defeating the golden mirror, so it can be cured. I will find a solution.”
“Then I am relieved. Let’s focus on what is going to happen right in front of us.”
The two members and one regressor headed to the lightning tower to kill the thunder god. An idol that symbolizes fear of the Thunder God, and a structure that can overcome the Thunder God. To sever the bad ties with the Thunder God at the Lightning Tower.
vacant place after they left.
I trudged toward the lightning tower.
lightning tower. A super-giant structure reaching 50m in height. It does not simply exist to receive lightning strikes, but facilities using lightning strikes are located inside.
Uraehoeju guided us around the farm, but there are many other things. A mill that processes harvested crops. A smelter that instills thunderbolts into steel. A facility that uses it to make various tools, etc. The resources produced in the lightning tower extend below it. As long as there are people to work for thanks to the abundance of resources, Claudia will run fine. Because they can enjoy a much more stable life than wandering in the wilderness of the nations, the powerless wildcats hope to live in Claudia.
However, since Woorehoeju only accepts Seungnyang with children, Claudia is full of newlyweds and women with children who have no place to lean on. Even they have to leave when their children grow up.
The city is prosperous, but most of them will leave this place someday. Those who do not leave in it…
