Episode 269
Something Redder Than Twilight.
Something redder than a stream of blood. It was as hot and red as boiling lava.
“Oh, it’s spicy.”
It disappears with Emily’s mouth.
Its name, which is redder than dusk, is indispensable to Koreans’ dining tables.
It was kimchi stew.
“It’s too spicy!?”
“Eat it with rice.”
“Rub it here, wrap it in seaweed, and eat it. It will be a little less spicy. Uh, can mommy pack one for you?”
Emily and Callius look at Ailee startled at the word mother.
“…”
Ailee, embarrassed for nothing, got up from her seat without a word.
“Where are you going?”
“You’re going to eat more.”
“hmm.”
Watching the two flow in strange air, Emily ate the kimchi stew. Then he cooled his swollen red lips with cold water.
“Still, I guess I’m good enough to eat.”
“It’s spicy…it hurts, but you get to eat it.”
It was a bit spicy for Emily, who was new to kimchi jjigae.
However, like most of the knights, Emily didn’t bother with an empty stomach after the battle, and after eating it on the recommendation of Colius and Ailee, it was quite tasty.
“It’s a pretty savvy food in their world. Eat it gratefully.”
“My dad is too formal every time he eats.”
Callius said while holding a fork and knife.
“Even the strongest man will die if he does not eat. When food is scarce, life is also deficient.”
“Yes, yes.”
But the hand did not stop. The taste of eating kimchi jjigae with rice wrapped in a sheet of seaweed was strangely addictive.
It was because he was very hungry because he had used all his strength in battle.
Of course, Emily is not the only one.
So did Colliers.
While eating kimchi stew, Emily made me use a spoon and chopsticks, but she was eating with a fork and knife.
“Eat.”
Callius cut the kimchi with a knife to make it easy to eat, and placed the kimchi and meat on top of Emily’s rice.
“It’s not a baby…”
“It’s a tradition here. This is what parents do to their children.”
“What about tradition…”
Wow.
Emily took a big bite and immediately looked at Ailee, who had just approached, holding an empty rice bowl.
“Would you like another bowl?”
“huh!”
Ailee, who was wearing an apron, served Emily with gobong rice as she passed the bowl. It’s already the third round, but Emily’s hand hasn’t stopped.
I was robbed of everything by the intensity of the spicy taste and the savory taste of the stew, which I had never tasted before.
“I didn’t know you would like kimchi stew, too. It doesn’t suit me.”
Even though she said it didn’t suit her, Ailee smiled as if it was funny.
To put it more accurately, it was a pretty happy face.
Callius’ eyes stared at Ailee before saying a word.
“You didn’t cook it, so why are you wearing an apron?”
“yes? Oh, that’s why… If the soup gets on your clothes, it won’t come off easily!”
“I was wearing greaves…”
I don’t know why I don’t erase it even though I’m wearing armor. I wanted to ask more, but I didn’t say more because my daughter’s foot touched her shin under the table.
“Still, I am surprised. I thought you would find it right away and settle it.”
After the original corruption was defeated, Callius decided to take a break rather than proceed. The situation changed from moment to moment, and the decision was made considering Emily’s physical condition.
‘To think that the world of pilgrims and this place are becoming one. It’s not even funny.’
But this not-so-funny story is becoming true.
Lands that are not on the map are rising on the earth, and races and beasts that have never been seen appear and are experiencing great chaos.
Ignoring all of them and forcing them was a little vague, and I couldn’t properly take the power from the corruption at the beginning…
Callius needed a moment.
Arrangement of thoughts and collection of power.
“The food tastes pretty good.”
In addition, I entered a building that belonged to the relatively normal side, and it was a restaurant and it was preparing for business, so I had a meal because there was a stew.
Even after eating like that at a convenience store, Callius was drunk with the taste of his hometown he hadn’t tasted in a long time.
“So what are we going to do now?”
“Nothing will change. But there is only a slight change in priorities.”
“What are your priorities?”
“okay.”
Callies put down the cutlery.
“Originally, I was going to visit them to sort out the situation. It is the will of the gods that this has happened.”
However, the situation has changed more rapidly than expected.
no.
‘It’s better to be afraid.’
As I approached them, I became a little afraid to know the truth.
I wondered if the truth was that important.
he eventually came back
It’s not normal, but it’s back.
to the world he originally lived in.
World figures who had been there for nearly ten years also came along.
I wondered if the truth would matter now.
Everything he wanted came true.
I have a daughter and all the people I cherish are here.
A place I’ve longed for.
so he hesitated.
it was afraid
I was afraid of the truth that didn’t seem like a big deal.
I barely came back, but I was afraid of death that I might die in vain.
Until a little while ago, I was thirsty for the truth that was right in front of me.
Being a human being is hesitant to come close to me in such a shameful way.
Like those who always say that they want to die, but desperately want life when death comes.
He was also an ordinary human being.
of course.
It’s just that I hesitated for a while.
The decision was made that it was necessary to take a moment to look at the situation without being in a hurry.
“What the hell is God thinking?”
“I don’t know the will of God. But there will be no one to tell you.”
“yes?”
“Isn’t it?”
Callius suddenly looked into the void and said.
A dwarf woman sitting on top of the table next to her appeared sparkling.
Startle!
Startled, Emily and Ailee drew their swords and spears.
Coca, who had been eating while noticing, also took out her sword in a huff.
The only ones who were relaxed were the young woman and Callius.
“You noticed it well. The palimant’s cloak is enough to fool even the gods.”
Seeing the woman talking about her dark purple cloak, Callius was convinced.
“This is Isabel, the God of Thread.”
“!!”
“answer.”
Isabelle.
Colleas, who had guessed why she would appear here, was quite nervous. Seeing that the beginning of corruption appeared after her death, she thought she might have come to retaliate, but there is no life for her.
“Are you here to avenge your flesh and blood?”
“You should know that it is not.”
Fall of the Beginning. Sophia and Isabelle are sisters.
Sophia was the older sister.
However, heaven allowed only her younger sister, Isabel, to become a god.
A fallen sister and a younger brother who became a god.
There are quite complex interests and stories intertwined between the two.
“Sophia is such a fool. It’s been like that since childhood. The stupidity of always trying to make up for lack of talent with something else.”
Isabelle, who spoke as if reminiscing about the distant past, had her purple hair dancing.
He brushed away his deep bangs with his hand, revealing his scarred eyes.
“What that stupidity gave birth to. I should rather thank you Revenge was neither necessary nor meaningful to me, but it is true that it helped me in the end.”
Isabelle stepped down from the table, grabbed the hem of her skirt, and gave a light bow.
“…A corruption that has stolen its dignity. I’ve been told that’s the corruption of the beginning. Did you steal her identity?”
“Maybe. Fate originally marked Sophie as a god.”
However, fate has changed.
With no one else’s hand.
“Fate is such a cruel word. But it also changes. You have been too.”
“Before…”
“Challengers change their destiny. That’s the only difference between those who have been called and the challengers.”
what is destiny
“Because it will be imprinted on your soul.”
Purple ominous eyes stare at Callius and Ailee.
“What is the answer?”
“I will give you information.”
It’s just the right timing.
What Colius needed was information, not other powers.
Information from God.
It’s bound to be sweet.
“Listen.”
“Three days later, the golden cloth will open.”
“Golden cloth?”
“A golden sky?”
But the information she was talking about was quite heterogeneous.
“He did. When you reach the end of your arms, the golden sky opens up.”
golden sky.
gold cloth. Colliers couldn’t understand.
What does it mean when it is open?
why does god want that
“What will happen when that gold cloth opens?”
“The purpose is accomplished. You can prove the value of your existence by becoming a perfect weapon.”
“To whom?”
“To those who gave us power.”
It’s just words you don’t understand.
He tried to organize his thoughts, but Isabelle would not wait for him.
“In this world, our world is called a game. know? It’s funny, but it made sense, so we agreed.”
“!”
“Why?”
“It takes quite a long story to explain that. It is difficult for me to explain why a god is a god.”
Isabelle took out a thread and formed shapes in the air.
It was a human being, then a weapon, and then it embodied something dark and dark.
It also embodied a prison to confine something.
“The current situation is simply the gods who don’t want to be locked up and used a shortcut.”
“…difficult to understand.”
“That’s your case. I’ve done everything you tell me.”
Isabel, who was about to leave, was caught by Colleas.
“You want to give me this? why?”
“Because it is yours.”
What he gave was eyeballs.
It was an eyeball from Sophie.
It was said that the corruption of the beginning left behind even after death was a little different, but it was not.
This is a piece of God. It was Isabelle’s eyes.
A wound from an unfinished story.
Isabel will need these eyes, which are deeply related to the reason why Sophie fell.
“You’re upset.”
“I have a question.”
“bite. After receiving this, I have to answer too.”
“If the golden spring opens, what will happen to this place?”
what is gold
It wasn’t that I wasn’t curious about what ‘he’ Isabelle was talking about.
However, the most important thing for Colius is what will happen to this place. That’s why there was no hesitation at the opportunity given once.
“The opening of the golden spring means that the absolute will come out. It is the birth of the absolute god. But like I said before, I took a shortcut. The gods, unable to wait for boredom, joined the apostles to unite the world. If the gold cloth opens thanks to that…”
“This place will disappear.”
“Maybe.”
The story is quite difficult, but the conclusion is drawn.
“I’ll have to block the golden spring.”
“That is your freedom. Like this one. But are you really okay? If you use my eyes, you will be able to accumulate quite a bit of power.”
“I just returned it to my master.”
Isabel’s eyes, which had always been languid, drew an arc.
“favor. this woman I like dyeing it in your color.”
“Right. i get it.”
“Then stop. Good luck.”
Oh.
Isabelle, who was about to disappear, said as if she had forgotten.
“Armor and ax coming soon. Because only one person can climb the golden road.”
Only one.
That narrowed the brow of Colius.
There are many gods, but there is only one, so it was naturally ominous.
“You seem not interested.”
“I don’t have I was fed up.”
Looking at a single strand of thread.
Isabelle shook her head. She seems to be thinking of her missing sister.
“Then stop. I want to enjoy a little bit of the time I have left. If you win, won’t you open the gold cloth?”
Callies didn’t answer.
However, the eyes replaced the answer.
“He is a strange man.”
Saying that, Isabelle disappears.
Callius left her behind and immediately rose from his seat.
“What were you talking about?”
At Ailee’s question.
“They said they dyed you my color.”
Ailee’s face turned red like the sunset sky.
