Cold World (3)
Dante looked around the village.
Instead of the concept of walls and roof, it followed a unique residential style called a sun road.
When the sun came through the tangle of trees, the ground shone like stars.
‘They eat food, but in extreme situations they can survive with just water and sun.’
Of course, I never ate meat. As we followed the sun path with the ceiling straight, a smile bloomed on Flarino’s face.
“Ah, look at this sunlight. What a beautiful sky. You all
wanted to walk this path of the sun… and share the joy of the Hwa people, but what you got in return was Lupist’s cold eyes.
“I’m sorry.”
Contrary to expectations, Lupist looked up at the sky.
“Do you like the sun?”
“yes? Oh, of course. “For the Hwa people, the sun is a gift that gives them the greatest joy.”
“I like you too.”
Flarino’s mouth opened blankly.
“But you don’t look up for no reason. “How many people among humans think that there is a heaven?”
“why? It’s this good. “I feel happy when I close my eyes in the sunlight.”
“happiness?”
Lufist sneered.
“Do you know what we threw away first to build the current system? It’s the happiness of the individual. “It uses the suffering of the entire population as its driving force.”
The Chinese man asked.
“What does that mean? “Why do you do this if no one can be happy?”
“To dominate you.” “Human beings give up happiness if they can be superior. Should we call it madness toward the best? “But a system that is even more crazy than ours has emerged.”
Although the Chinese people did not leave their territory, they were reading the situation through Small World Changyu.
“The winner of the system will be determined depending on which side is crazier. okay? Humans exist in a world like this. But you guys talk about the sun and happiness.”
Flarino lowered his head sullenly.
“I know that we too are a failed species. That’s why we live in hiding like this.”
“It’s still too early to make conclusions.”
When Flarino turned around with a surprised expression, Lupist stabbed the air with his index finger.
“Anyway… the weather is killer.”
How long has it been since you realized that there is a sky and that you can look at it?
‘Is it time for me to retire too?’
When did you start feeling sentimental?
“You’re here.”
A woman with flowing black hair was sitting cross-legged in a sunny spot.
‘That woman…
Lupist stopped walking at the scent of lotus flowers that was abundant in the air.
“Are you a direct descendant of the Hwa clan?”
The woman smiled and lowered her head.
“yes. It is said to be a protea from the lotus lineage. “Thank you for coming to this humble place.”
In exchange for the deal, they gave him a place to live, but he didn’t really care who the chief was.
However, I only heard reports that there were Chinese people who came to the village on their own after the village was built.
‘Lotus lineage. ‘It stayed.’
The beginning of the Hwa people is known as the lotus flower.
“A long time ago, an unknown Buddha sat on a lotus flower and devoted himself to seeking salvation for 40,000 years.”
Protea said.
“It is said that the lotus flower, neither withering nor dying, heard about human life along with Buddha.”
Lupist received it.
“And on the day Buddha left, the lotus also realized its incarnation and became a human being. “That is the story of the birth of the Hwa people.”
It is just a myth, but if it is not true, it cannot explain why the Hwa people have diverse bloodlines.
‘It can’t happen naturally. Unless the first Hwa people spread it through the small world window…
Therefore, the Lotus lineage in front of you is the direct lineage of the Hwa people who achieved enlightenment from Buddha.
‘That’s annoying.’
If it were any other flower race, it would be enough to scold them, but Protea was a formidable opponent.
“is it so. “For what reason did our benefactor, Mr. Rufist, stop by here?”
“You know, right?”
It would not be an exaggeration to say that with his direct lineage’s ability, he could control the entire forest beyond the village.
“Hehe. Yes, actually… I listened carefully to Mr. Lufist’s philosophy on the system. “It looks like we are faced with a situation where we need to precisely control fresh flowers.”
Dante admitted obediently.
“yes. It is a huge structure. Although we built the interface separately, dozens of people are mobilized for precise work.”
“On the other hand, in the case of Small World Changyu, one Hwa family member would be able to control even the nerve unit.”
Lupist came forward.
“If you know, we’ll talk faster. If we lose, you won’t survive either. “You’d better cooperate.”
“As for the Hwa people’s judgment…
the smile disappeared from Protea’s face.
“It is a refusal.”
It was an unexpected answer, but Lupist had no hesitation.
“Then die.”
Flalino screamed and jumped back as the blade rose towards her.
“The strategy will not change without you alone. “If you go around holding your head up, other Chinese people will join in.”
Dante asked.
“Why? Half of the world has already been taken over by demons. If humans are defeated, you will not be safe either.”
“We’re going to die anyway.”
The eyes of the Hwa family were focused on her.
“Considering that Saenghwa mobilizes all of the ancient weapons of the Hwa clan, there are at least hundreds of them. If there is an enemy that cannot be stopped even with such powerful weapons, aren’t we victims?”
Lufist did not deny it.
“Humans will also pay the same price. Risking everything to gain everything is war.”
“It’s just a human war. Please suggest a means to ensure the survival of the Chinese people. Otherwise, cooperation is impossible.”
The Hwa people who were listening in the forest appeared and activated Small World Changyu.
The forest was shaking and I felt a twitching sensation as if a bundle of nerves were passing under the ground.
“joy.”
The moment Lupist snorted, a blade larger than a person rose up next to him.
“Ugh!”
Some of the flower people frowned, but Protea did not even blink.
“There is no use intimidating. “You have treated us as you please, but you will choose death yourself.”
“I will do it myself.”
Everyone’s eyes were focused on Flarino.
“I will move the fresh flowers, so don’t fight. “You’ll be able to do well because you’ve already done it.”
Protea rolled her eyes.
“Flarino, what are you doing? It is a battle where the fate of the entire Hwa clan depends on it. “There is no choice.”
“If you have no choice, at least fight. If humans are defeated, the Hwa people will also perish.”
“No, I won’t help humans if they are going to perish anyway. Think about what they’ve done so far. They mocked your body and violated your spirit! “The most selfish thing is human!”
“I know.”
How could you forget?
“But I think Mr. Lupist is different. He seemed cold and cold, but if he really was that kind of person…
Flarino’s eyes turned to Lupist.
“They wouldn’t have provided a village for the Chinese people from the beginning. “This is really the place we wanted to be.” It was the perfect place.
“You are being deceived. The author prepared for this situation and took advantage of us…
“He said the weather was nice.”
Flarino continued.
“I don’t believe that people who know the warmth of sunlight don’t know true happiness.”
Her eyes were moist.
“Even though you know it, you have no choice but to fight. “Everyone can’t be happy, so it’s colder and colder… But in reality, you want everyone to be happy, right?”
“no. I’m naturally a cold person. And humans are evil. “I can do anything for my own purposes.”
This was the reason why it was difficult for Lupist to treat women.
‘It’s emotional in a strange way. It’s annoying.’
What does it matter whether he is a good guy or a bad guy when an enemy is approaching that I wouldn’t mind tearing and killing?
‘You’re going to have to fight first. ‘You have to come up with an optimal strategy and implement it.’
But on the other hand.
It felt good to know the reason for fighting.
“ha.”
After Lupist released the spirit zone, Dante also reaped his murderous intent a short time later.
“Okay, let’s resolve it through conversation. I will do my best to help you survive. So is that done?”
“no. We need clear guarantees.” At that moment, when the blood was bubbling in Lupist’s temples, a woman’s voice was heard from the forest.
“I’ll take care of that.”
Lupist and Dante’s pupils moved, creating an afterimage as they looked at the place where the voice was heard.
‘ fast.’ Just the speed at which it slipped out of sight pushed my vigilance to its limit.
Protea’s eyes shook.
“You…
were a woman with sharper ears than a human, a pale face, and eyes as clear and clean as a fountain.
“hello?”
As she turned around, waving her hand brightly, Rufist recognized her face.
“Enoch.”
He was the representative of the Fairy tribe, one of the two kings of the temple.
“yes. The commander-in-chief told me to go, so I came. “They said it would probably be helpful if I went.”
Dante’s eyes widened.
‘If you’re going to do this, please at least tell me in advance.’
As Portea knelt and prostrated herself, the remaining Chinese people followed her in paying respects.
“Lord of the forest.”
“long time no see. As expected, the Chinese people have a good scent.”
Enox said, holding up his index finger.
“Anyway, don’t worry about war. “We elves will step up and protect the Hwa clan.”
“…Are you saying that elves will also participate in the war?”
“Of course I should.”
“Why do you care for humans? “They are destroying the nature we cherish.”
“That’s it.”
Enox said, caressing Protea’s chin.
“Humans are thrilling.”
That night.
The royal castle of Tormia.
While King Adolf was on sick leave, Rufist and Fleur attended the royal dinner.
Pony, a graduate of Alpheas Magic School, was in attendance, and various small talks were exchanged
.
“The world situation has reached a critical point. “There are countless people who invested in other countries and then went bankrupt.”
Even now, with the war against the demons in full swing, the royal family was only interested in increasing their wealth.
‘It is the most unrealistic space.’
Lupist continued eating in silence.
‘The system needs something like that.’
An accessory that cries out only for ideals in a place that is completely disconnected from reality.
“Anyway, this chief secretary is quite cute. “I didn’t like the last girl because she was fierce.”
Fleur smiled.
“Thank you for a good look.” Taking advantage of her toss, Lu Fist made a difficult request.
“Demons will invade Tormia. “I want to move the royal garrison.”
“The royal garrison?”
The air became heavy for a moment because the soldiers were the last bastion for the royal family.
“yes. No need to worry. Because we have a flower garden. “We just need troops to do support missions.”
They all die anyway.
If he was going to be wiped out, he was a lupiist who wanted to use everything he could.
“Well, it’s safe if there’s a flower garden. “Because Tormia has the world’s strongest defense.”
The person who achieved it was Lupist.
“By the way…
the dark-browed royal alternately pointed at Rupiist and Fleur with his fork.
“What about sleeping compatibility? Why was there a rumor like that before? They say you’re the chief secretary killer. Puhahaha!”
The royal family burst into laughter.
Regardless of the truth of the rumor, they just wanted to see the reaction of the Magic Association President and Chief of Staff.
“Not really??????
Lupist’s expression did not change.
“It’s not fun. “In fact, the former chief secretary was much better.”
“Ohh? is it? Actually, Ms. Fleur is too thin. “Eat this and gain weight.”
Fleur puffed out her cheeks.
“This really hurts my pride. The president of the association has strange tastes. “I can’t confirm it for you.”
“Why isn’t it there? Just leave it to me. “The world knows about my energy.”
“Ouch! “That’s kind of scary.”
While the royal family burst into laughter, only Pony was not laughing.
‘It is a lie.’
I know because I went to magic school.
The bitterly cold emotions in the eyes of the two wizards who were disguising their laughter.
‘Pro wizard. But it’s not political enough to please the royal family and the royal garrison.’
A shiver ran down Pony’s spine.
‘Something big is about to happen.’
