166. At the mansion 3
“Didn’t this bastard go round?”
“…How could you do this?”
“I knew he had a bad personality, but I didn’t expect him to be like this.”
Upon learning the truth, Kang Seung-hyun and his party were stunned.
The dead bodies of animals scattered throughout the room were victims of Pengrill’s golem research.
“Dolls made from grinding dozens of animals, Pengrill, are you trying to dedicate something like this to God?”
“Wismel said he loved all the creatures of the Red Forest…”
Pengrill called himself Wismel’s apostle, but ironically, he was against Wismel’s wishes more than anyone else.
“Oh brother, what are you doing?”
“I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely crazy. Is this what a normal person would do!”
Kim Ho-jeong looked at the beast golems all over the room.
There are dozens of them that appear to be in perfect condition.
At least hundreds of animals must have been sacrificed if the broken and smashed fragments were included.
‘There must be a reason why they are trying to make an ego golem like this.’
Kang Seung-hyun, who was lost in thought for a moment, saw an old notebook on the desk.
There is nothing written on the cover, but
[Wizmel-sama didn’t leave us.]
On the inside, there was a sentence that started with something like this. Judging by the timing, it seems to be the last record left before the death of the predecessor.
[He spread all his powers throughout the Red Forest and assimilated with the forest.]
[As a divine being, Wismel has disappeared]
[He has changed, but he always protects us.]
“Assimilated with the forest . You…”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
According to the record left by the previous family head, Wismel spread all his powers throughout the forest for unknown reasons.
“It means that we have become one with the forest.”
“Then the Red Forest is Wismel?”
As a result, Wismel as a god disappeared and only the concept of protecting the Red Forest remained.
“Anyway, the identity of the curse of the red forest… seems to be Wismel’s power to protect Tracotti.”
So there was no effect on his children, Tracotti residents.
“What the hell happened?”
“I don’t know exactly…”
Kang Seung-hyun recalled [Wizmel’s left hand].
Seeing that only the hand remains, it means that it was cut off by itself or by someone else.
“Maybe something attacked Tracotti?”
Wismel was mortally wounded while fighting to protect Tracotti, and assimilated into the forest instead of disappearing.
“For now, I have no choice but to think like this.”
“What the hell happened…”
As you can tell just by looking at Kirkarashtel, even if a divine being dies, it will be resurrected over time.
However, Wismel cannot be resurrected because he assimilated into the forest by spreading all his powers.
It’s like giving up the position of God.
“If what is written here is true, Wismel will not appear no matter how long you wait.”
“Did he really go crazy?”
In other words, what Pengril does is completely crap.
Wismel has become the Red Forest itself.
“Then oppa is thinking of fooling people forever with Wismel-
sama’s doll …”
However, it means that there is a reason to make a blasphemous ego golem by extracting the soul of another creature.
Palak.
Kang Seung-hyun opened another notebook on the desk.
[According to the record left by the previous family head]
[It was written that it was impossible to contact Wismel-sama who was assimilated into the forest]
[I don’t think so.]
The handwriting and the content are the same.
This time it was a journal written by Pengrill.
“This kid is really persistent.”
“What the hell are you going to do…”
Rebecca turned the pages with a worried look on her face.
[If we gather Wismel’s power scattered throughout the Red Forest and inject it into a doll that contains his will.] [If we
endow a doll with divine power and will with faith.]
[Wizmel will return as a divine being again. .]
“This must have been his real purpose.”
“What the hell is my brother trying to do…”
It doesn’t end with making Wismel dolls, but restoring the extinct Wismels to divine beings based on dolls.
Pengrill’s real purpose is to create God.
“But is this possible? Religion will be squeezed from the people of Tracotti, but how do you gather strength and will?”
“Let’s read it first.”
The three turned to the next page.
[Ordinary humans cannot gather the power of a god.]
[However, the remains of a god can gather the power.]
[After much deliberation, I used ‘Wizmel-sama’s right hand’. This right hand was left when Wizmel-sama died.]
[Originally, the left hand was also left, but according to the record, it was lost in the process of avoiding the doll workshop’s pursuit, and only the right hand was saved in the basement.] ‘So, it was abandoned in the forest
. Is it?’
The left hand that Kang Seung-hyeon found was lost by the ancestor of the family who ran away with Wismel’s remains.
[I retrieved the power scattered throughout the Red Forest and gathered it in Wismel-sama’s right hand.] [
This caused some minor problems such as the Red Forest becoming unstable and the monsters becoming violent
] will
.]
“Then, the reason why the Red Forest has been in bad shape lately…”
Originally, Wismel’s power would have blocked the magic flowing from Kamar.
However, Fengrill retrieved the power to revive Wismel, and the
weakened forest could not block Camar’s magic.
“It was because of my brother!”
“Kamar is the primary culprit, but the 2nd culprit was Pengrill.”
Pengrill kept his faults a secret and incited people to say that it was all Kamar’s fault.
People believed only in those words, became hostile to Kamar, and followed an unknown religion.
“How can you say something like this? How many people are injured in the Red Forest right now!”
“A trivial matter? Are you kidding me?”
Rebecca and Kim Ho-jung were very angry.
The guy who said it was for Tracotti put Tracotti in danger.
“…Let’s read the next page for now.”
[The problem is God’s will.]
[Strength is gathered from all over the forest, and faith can be obtained from Tracotti residents.] [
But God’s mind and will disappeared as Wismel-nim assimilated into the forest.] [
No matter how strong it is , A golem with no will, even though it has power, is just a doll.] [
But I failed to make a will.]
After this, nothing was written.
There were only traces of worrying for quite some time.
palak palak.
When I turned the page almost to the end,
[I came up with a method after thinking about it.]
This sentence was written.
“…”
From this point on, I felt ominous.
It’s because I expected what would be written after this.
[The residents of Tracotti are the descendants who inherited the will of Wismel, and they represent Wismel’s will.] [It
means that Wismel’s will resides in the souls of everyone in our village, including me. .]
[Of course, the power of each person is weak.]
[But if dozens or hundreds of people gather, the story will change.]
The sentence is cut off again here.
The following information can be found on the last page.
[So, if you use the souls of Tracotti residents]
[You can substitute Wismel’s will.]
[Of course, it’s not easy.] [
Unlike a living body, a body made of earth lacks the strength to withstand the soul. Because of that.]
[In fact, Ego Golems made of wild beasts were all failures that could not be promoted.] [I could
n’t possibly complete it by myself.]
[So, I reluctantly decided to seek help from Master.]
Pengrill It seems that at this point, he felt his limitations and decided to borrow Harvey’s help.
[After much consideration, I created an Ego Golem by mixing the corpses of Tracotti residents dug up from the tomb with the souls of some adventurers.
] I was able to create it.]
[It’s a bit unstable, but with Master’s help, I’ll be able to create a perfect ego golem and a perfect god.]
Pengrill’s note ended like this.
After reading everything, the three were at a loss for words.
“What is this? What did I see?”
“You’re going to make dolls out of the souls of the Trakoti people?”
“Isn’t this kid really crazy?”
“You’re really out of your mind.”
In fact, I expected to some extent that he would have sacrificed a human to create an ego golem.
‘Actually, they kidnapped adventurers and experimented on them.’
But Pengrill had plans for something far worse than that.
He intended to create Wismel by sacrificing the people of his hometown, Tracotti.
“…First of all, the Wismel followers have to extract their faith, so I won’t touch them.”
If that’s the case, his target is the normal Tracotti residents, not the Wismel followers.
Of course, the doll workshop and the adventurer’s union are included.
“We have to stop! We have to go stop it right now!”
Rebecca exclaimed in horror.
The conclusion was that he was going to kill half of the Tracotti population.
“You madman! I recognized it from the time I poisoned Master Ji!”
“I knew he was a guy who would use any means and methods for a purpose, but…”
He was a man beyond imagination.
“I just can’t get past this.”
If you don’t stop him, half of the residents of Tracotti will be sacrificed, and not only will it end with that, but even Camar will perish.
I’m definitely going to get [Wismel’s love] back.
“If this diary is presented as evidence, the adventurer’s guild cannot just exist.”
“Let’s go quickly and stop it!”
“First of all, we will protect the safety of the elder Harvey.”
No matter how rampant Pengril is, he cannot create a perfect god without Harvey’s cooperation.
Kang Seung-hyun and his party tried to leave the room to go to the doll workshop.
thump thump thump. widely.
Then I heard strange footsteps on the stairs.
Let’s raise our heads and look up the stairs.
“I hope you’ll figure it out here.”
A pitch-black doll with a very familiar voice stood there.
