The Last Crusade (2)
The heat in the desert was increasing day by day, as if a lens was covering the continent.
“It’s terrible.”
Canis blocked the sun with his palm.
Even the oasis had dried up due to the explosion of the Demon World by the 5th Corps Commander Marvas.
Sirone said.
“Freezy and Argan are restoring Oasis in each city. Well, it wouldn’t even last three days…
Zulu pointed to the horizon.
“I’m waiting.”
It was a huge oasis that shimmered like a mirage.
“Naganak. It means the Holy Grail of God. “It is a royal decree directly managed by the Paras Kingdom.”
Arin stuck out her tongue.
“It’s water.”
Of course, you can make water with magic, but the oasis you can drink with your eyes is a refreshing feeling itself.
Canis said.
“A 6km radius around the Pyramid of Truth is an access restricted area. That’s why pilgrims, travelers and explorers all gather in Nagnag. In short, it is the closest point accessible to the general public.”
Sirone took out an entry permit.
“They said if I go to the National Treasure Management Department in Nagnag and submit this, the soldiers will guide me.”
While we were talking, we arrived at Nagnag.
There were about 200 households living together, and there were a lot of people from out of town walking around.
“Wow?…”
As a cool breeze blew as if cold water had been poured, Arin took off her cape and dried her sweat.
“Look over there, Canis. The oasis is not dry. “It didn’t rain while I was staying in the royal castle.”
“that??????
As Shirone was about to explain, two familiar apostles walked from inside the village.
It was the ice dragon Frizzy and the machine dragon Argan.
“It’s a dragon.”
As Arin spoke about what she saw through menarche, Canis’ shadow grew sharply longer.
Freezy approached.
“I was waiting for you, Messiah.” Silver hair, cold appearance, and never showing any emotions were the same in front of Sirone.
“How long does Oasis last?” The machine dragon Argan said.
“I did the work using the breath three days ago. “I was planning to go on a tour to another village, but I received a message from Kira and am now in polymorph status.”
Kira was a 1-star resident of the Integrated Space Management Department and a master of undead magic.
“And what about Kira?”
“He was supposed to wait with us, but he received an urgent telegram from the Ivory Tower and dispatched.”
“Telegram?”
Sirone raised one eyebrow.
Stang Kingdom.
When Sirone called, a ray of light flew through the sky and arrived in front of him.
“Did you call me?”
Ivory Tower 3-star resident information It was Rampa, an authority on magic.
“I heard Kira from the Kingdom of Paras received an urgent telegram. Is there something going on?”
Except in special cases, all work was to be reported to Oh Dae-seong.
“Well…
Sirone’s expression became serious after hearing the explanation.
“You finally showed up.”
“yes. The army of Hell, led by Baal, the commander of the 1st Legion, is engaged in a battle with the Kingdom of Corona. The charter is tight. “All the stars except Sirone have been summoned to the Ivory Tower.”
“The Corona Kingdom is not weak. What Taeseong is concerned about is… the demon world?”
Rampa nodded.
“Deadly Cross. “Baal, more specifically, Havitz, is planning to tear down the Ivory Tower.”
“But the demon world is still not open. “There is a deeper intention than that.”
“You must have the temple in mind. Corona is also participating. “They are trying to gain an advantageous position in negotiations by holding the ivory tower hostage.”
My bones were already sore.
“But why didn’t you call me? “It would be enough if it were a simultaneous event.”
Rampa spoke with difficulty.
“This is what Taeseong ordered. “I can’t figure out why, but the atmosphere in the ivory tower
is a bit different than before.” “Mr. Freed and Mr. Amanta. The system monitoring and balance departments have lost their five qualities. Even if you look at the entire ivory tower, losing 10 stars is a huge loss. “Right now, we have no choice but to absorb and integrate, and Mr. Thing is at the center of that.”
“Sing.”
The five major characteristics of the Ministry of Law.
“Sing’s perspective on the world is different from Sirone’s. Although it has not yet surfaced, the stars and residents of the Ivory Tower are probably making decisions deep down. Although Minerva upholds the banner of Yahweh, it is presumed that there are many who follow Thing’s point of view.”
“That’s surprising.”
It wasn’t that I was conceited.
‘We had a lot of interaction. Even if it wasn’t Gwancheol, I believed that we understood each other.’
Why did you suddenly change your mind?
“The atmosphere is not good. There should be a large convocation, but the temple and the coronavirus pandemic are fierce…. For now, it seems that Taeseong only blocked Sirone from convening.”
“Is it that serious? Of course, Mr. Xing is a strong person, but there is nothing I have done in the ivory tower.”
“That’s it…
The wrinkles on Rampa’s forehead deepened.
“Sing has approved the laws of Taiji. This fact seems to have shocked the stars and residents.”
“Taegeuk.”
Two people came to mind in Sirone’s mind.
“Yin knowledge and positive knowledge.”
Ivory tower.
Two sisters who looked identical in appearance came into Sing’s room.
“Did you call me?”
Shady and sunny.
It was not difficult to tell them apart as Ivory Tower 4-star residents had a completely different atmosphere.
“okay. “What is the situation with Corona?”
Yangji answered.
“Nothing much. Baal’s army is the most powerful elite in Hell, but I can wipe it out. Please let us go right now.”
Eumzi said.
“We have to be cautious until all the stars come together. First, we must strengthen the unity within the ivory tower…
Yangji interrupted.
“By using our Taegeuk, Lord Xing’s law will reach the level of absolute implementation. Just go. “I will wipe out the demon army and tear off Baal’s dick.”
“What a shameless thing to say.”
Eumji spat out.
“When Baal dies, Habitz comes. If one person dies in Taiji, it will lead to the annihilation of the Ivory Tower. Demons will take over the world. They will torture humans, and we will be caught in their hands…
She trembled.
“All kinds of things will happen. They won’t kill you easily. He will scream and struggle before ending his life. In the end, it’s just pain. It’s done. “This world is ruined!”
Yangji shouted.
“I won’t fail! We have eight stars as the law of Taegeuk. None of the five stars are higher than us! Oh, I’m sorry, Sing. “I didn’t say those words with the intention of hurting you.”
“Then what do you do! After all, we are human! It’s no different from a bug in the ground. Living things are insignificant! “You can never, ever defeat Satan!”
“When I heard this, I wanted to hear it… Thing interrupted.
“stop.”
The expressions of Eumji and Yangji were reset at the same time and they stood side by side like twins again.
“I understand your thoughts well. But I won’t make any choice. The first step is to get the residents of the ivory tower on my side. “Start from there.”
Eumji asked.
“I’m embarrassed, but why are we splitting up? “I thought Sing liked Sirone.”
Thing’s eyes darkened.
“I don’t trust anyone. The reason I accepted you is to carry out my will. Please convey my message to the stars of the System Inspection Department. “It will be okay if we go together.”
As Eumji and Yangji left the room, Sing turned to the window where he could see the atmosphere.
“Sirone.”
If you were to consider likes or dislikes, it was definitely a good one.
“Understand me.”
Nagnag Oasis.
Regardless of the situation in the ivory tower, Sirone focused on what needed to be done in Paras.
Simultaneous events were a unique sensation, so sharing them only made everyone more confused.
“Then let’s leave.”
The group headed to the government office in the center of the village.
It was the only stone house, and low-level employees and pilgrims were fighting over the tables.
“I’m not saying you want to go inside! “You can’t even see the pyramids from here!”
“It is the king’s command. In the past two months, the number of people visiting this place has increased tenfold. “Please go back.”
“Then please send at least your family! As soon as I cure my emotional illness, I will go back…
“This person is real! Do you know how many people I deal with every day who talk like you? This isn’t even a hospital! “Go back before security is called!”
Sirone saw a carving on the wall of the building.
‘Pyramid of Truth.’
The image of a large eye floating on top of the pyramid was carved in relief.
‘All vision.’
Did ancient people know about the eyes of the outside world?
‘Ultra-ancient civilizations are not recorded in Omega. If you are not careful, all your data will be lost. However…
it was known through symbols that ancient people came and went to the Pyramid of Truth.
After waiting for his turn, Sirone went to the table holding the pass that the king himself had given him.
“hello. Pyramid of Truth “Ha.”
The employee sighed.
“Hey, if you had ears, wouldn’t you have heard it? How many times are you making me say this! Are you looking down on people because they work in the middle of the desert?”
“No, that’s not it…
As Sirone handed over the pass, someone at the end of the table shouted.
“What are you talking about? I heard you got permission 4 months ago! To the Minister of Land Management!”
“That was four months ago. Don’t you know the world situation? “The king’s name has changed, so what use is this document?”
“Four months is a very tight time! Exploring ruins is no joke, manpower and equipment…
“Oh, that’s it. “If it doesn’t work, go back because it doesn’t work.”
The employee consulting with Sirone turned his head again and said with a sneer.
“Did you see it? The Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s weak measures are not working. So…
the employee’s eyes suddenly opened wide as he held the pass with both hands and was about to hand it back.
“uh? This…
the seal of Kitra, King of Paras, was stamped in a large size in the center of the pass.
“Excuse me!”
When the employee, whose face became pale, stood up and shouted, everyone turned around.
The explorer at the end also saw Sirone and his group, but then turned his head to the staff.
“Anyway, if I don’t get approval for this, I’ll file a formal complaint with the Kingdom of Paras
…
I heard the voice of an employee in charge of Sirone.
“Now, please come this way.”
The explorer suddenly realized the sight of the group being guided until they left the table.
“excuse me! Those people! You are going to the Blood of Truth Ramid now, right? How did this happen? “They say it’s curfew?”
“What are you talking about? His Majesty the King…
As if there was no need to listen, the explorer turned and followed Sirone.
“Hey there you guys! Wait a minute!” When Sirone turned around, an explorer with a beard that reached his chest grabbed his shoulder and scolded him.
“You guys got approved, right?”
“Oh, that’s…
“Tell me! No, take me! Our team has been preparing for a long time! “It will definitely help.”
Because it was a dangerous mission, Sirone did not want to involve civilians as much as possible.
“sorry. We are separate…
“If it’s money, I’ll pay!” Is it because of emotional illness? Or an ancient relic? Don’t do that…. yes’?”
The explorer’s eyes, who had been half-losing his mind, changed and he looked intently at Sirone.
“Sirone?”
Sirone, who heard the name, also looked at the face hidden behind the beard and made a blank expression.
“uh?”
At that moment, the explorer’s eyes glowed red.
“Hahaha! “Yes, Shirone! You are the real Shirone!”
“Mr. Ares?”
He was Amy’s second older brother.
