00410 Spider and Serpent

The boy mutters dazed.

“Give their lives...? ”

“Yes, Luke. That's the ultimate human sacrifice to another. ”

If Daisy swiped my brother and bit his neck in half, I led Luke slowly into the web. It was Luke who flew into the web. I showed up on the front and didn't hurt him.

“Jeremy taught you that, and you know it. There are slavers in the world. ”

After hearing the name Jeremy, Luke flinches. For a moment, I felt a mixed emotion of confusion, anger, and regret. It was only for a short time.

Luke is not mature enough to control his own emotions, but he is not mature enough to continue to ignore them. I repeated the Jinja movement in the center of my immaturity and immaturity. Maybe Luke's semicircle curve belongs to the most beautiful thing in the world.

In other words, Luke was a boy.

“When a slaver is engraved, it is almost completely dependent on the other person. It is impossible to commit suicide until the owner gives the order. ”

A boy who can make decisions in life but doesn't know the wavelength of his decisions.

“It's not just that. If the owner asks you to kill someone, your slave must do as he says. Even if a slave does not want to kill a man, even if he values life above all else, if he commands it, he must carry out all of his feelings and beliefs behind his back. ”

A boy who is accustomed to betraying others but is clumsy to be betrayed by others.

“Imagine that, Luke. Can humans endure that? ”

“…… No. ”

“Right. Usually I can't take it. Maybe a year. Maybe not for more than five years. But let's say you live like that for 10 years, 20 years... ”

I spread out my hands and put my palms out.

“Then you lose yourself. At some point, life is no longer precious. This can't be helped. Life was light in the beginning. So, what he believed and thought changed, twisted, justified in different ways, and eventually became a completely different person. ”

“ ……. ”

“To die for what it really means. Killing yourself. Sacrificing not only your life but everything that made you.... ”

I whisper, as the spider rolls its prey and kills slowly.

“Luke. I don't know what sin you've committed. But can you really live for them? Would you give up everything for him? ”

“ ……. ”

Luke nods quietly.

A few moments later, Luke raises his head. There was a decisive decision. I was already anticipating how this child would respond when Luke was silent.

“If it's the only way. ”

“ ……. ”

“Godfather, I will. ”

I'm stuck.

There's no turning back now, Luke.

“Let me ask you one last time. You're still 16. There are more lives to live than there have been so far. And yet, would it be okay for you to sacrifice the rest of your life for the sins you've committed? ”

“Yes.”

There are no waves in Luke's blue eyes.

“Fine. I respect your decision. ”

Daisy was my slave. If Luke were to become a slave to Daisy, it would be like jumping over a long bridge and enslaving me.

After all, both of them became warriors.

“Carving a slaver into the heart is painful. There are two men in our territory who are good enough to take on a slave surgery. Get treated by someone you like. ”

“Who is it?”

“Jeremy and Daisy. Fortunately, everyone is trustworthy to you. ”

Luke's complexion darkens sharply. I had a hard time resisting the laughter in my heart.

Jeremy and Daisy are the only ones who can make an imprint! Luke had to leave the surgery to the person who had led him halfway to sin, or to the victim who had committed the crime, or both. There was no irony like this.

“Hey, Godfather. Is there anyone else? ”

“Hm? Not on our territory, anyway. It's a very difficult surgery. You can lose your life if you leave it to a person with poor skills. ”

I explained in detail how dangerous and cruel slavery can be.

Luke was a little, but he hated the idea of digging skin and branding it directly into his heart. Luke nods at you, saying it's customary to engrave it on your heart because you can easily destroy it by engraving it somewhere else.

“…… I see. ”

“Don't worry. Jeremydo Daisy is the best. You two will surely succeed. Honestly, I don't think I'd be much better off looking for an operator anywhere else. ”

There you go, Luke. Which one would you choose?

The perpetrator, Jeremiah, the victim, Daisy. Depending on who you choose, your propensity is revealed to be hostile.

This is the death sentence for your life. Because of whom, you have to choose who you reveal your heart to. If his anger towards Jeremy were greater, he would choose Jeremy. If his guilt was greater, he would have chosen Daisy.

Whether to engrave the vengeance on Jeremy or imprint the guilt against Daisy on the heart... I had fun either way. I'm happy to see you in surgery.

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah, but it would be better if you chose Daisy.

I personally preferred to choose Daisy. Jeremy was only a third party after all. But Daisy was different. It was a brother, a family. My sister will enslave her brother forever. I liked that it was a little more ironic this way.

Plus Daisy's position.

Daisy had already undergone a slave surgery by me. Then Daisy crucially hated me. I swore revenge, but now I'm going to do what I've been through, and this time I'm going to do it to my own brother.

I wonder what he'll look like.

After the surgery, what's the look on my face?

When he commits the same behavior as the humans he hated, and then becomes the same level of human being as me, what does Daisy do…….

I can't. I can't stand it. I might kiss Daisy again if I'm wrong.

Luke, it's Daisy. Daisy is the right choice. Don't let vengeance get in the way of your conscience. Even if Jeremy gave you the cause, you're the one who's been doing the wrong thing ever since. You can't blame Jeremy for that.

Be strong! Be decisive! Ignorance is no excuse. Make Hell Purer. Human strength depends on how responsible it is for what. Do not allow a man who may have become a warrior to make excuses for himself. Don't let me down...

“I……. ”

Luke opens his mouth.

“I want Daisy to do it for me. ”

“Got it. I'll send word to Daisy. ”

Way to go, Luke!

I cheered in my heart. Even a godson, you had no right to call yourself my son. From now on, I accept you as my own.

How great is the sin of incest and incest that we didn't actually commit. It's nothing. It's not a sin or a fault in an objective sense. And yet, Luke, you put the greatest weight on the scale....

What just happened? What happened? What exactly is the weight on the scale? It was Luke's weight. Luke judges for himself, putting his life on the line for nothing. At this moment, Luke became a judge and punished himself…….

“I will not ask you whose slave you will be. ”

“Thank you, Godfather... ”

“What.”

I gently stroked Luke's head.

“You know, I've killed a lot of people. I will never be outnumbered by your evil deeds. ”

“But...... the godfather sacrificed himself to make the world a better place. It's nothing like me. ”

“No one has the right to sacrifice another. ”

I smiled.

“I'm glad you decided not to run away from your responsibilities, but to confront them face to face. Sometimes it's hard. There will be times of distress. You have no right to rest like the rest of humanity. But that's not because you're a humble slave. ”

I gently hugged Luke with my arms.

“It is only too clear to you the path to walk. If the goal for someone else is far away, then the goal for you is the path itself, the steps you take. Resting for someone else to go further, but when you rest, you give up the goal at that moment. ”

Cough, and I put Luke's head in my chest.

“There's no reason to rest, because we have to keep walking. There's no need to rush. One day you will understand me. ”

“Yes, Godfather……. ”

Luke slammed his face into my shirt and cried.

I slowly comb Luke's back head and grin.

The surgery was two days later.

The prisons and torture chambers of prisoners were located on the ninth floor of the catacombs of my Castle. There, Luke is engraved with a slaver. At first, Jeremy tried to help, but when I explained the situation, he gave up.

“Oh, my God. I was so worried about getting caught, but Luke finally found out. ”

“Watch out for the night ahead. I don't know when Luke will avenge you. ”

“Small enough to be beaten by a child at night is not weak enough. ”

Jeremy chuckles.

“Ah, but that's a shame. I'd love to see what Daisy looks like when she operates on Luke. ”

“It's the same for me. ”

The two of us were currently waiting at the door of the O.R. I sat side-by-side against the hallway wall, but the foam was not good. Perhaps others would have looked rather pitiful homeless.

The reason we couldn't get into the O.R. was because of Daisy. This ferocious little boy never let either of us in. After declaring that we would abandon Luke's surgery if we broke in, we were stuck on the outside.

“He's an ungrateful kid. How many times have I taught him? He doesn't even show me how to operate... Phew. This is why raising an apprentice won't work. ”

“Hehe.”

I smiled in repentance. Then I took the square object out of my arms.

Jeremy's eyes widen.

“Your Majesty, are you sure? ”

“Who do you think I am? I am Dantalian. The worst horrid Demon King of all time. ”

He laughed.

“I knew it. I put memory magic in the O.R. yesterday. ”

“Gaaaah! You're awesome! I love you!”

Jeremy shudders and baptizes me on the cheek.

“It's not the only one. I've installed 36 of them at all angles so I can keep a close eye on them……! Thousands of gold coins just to count for this! ”

“As expected, my lord Dantalian. You know where to spend your money! ”

“Hehe. I'm so excited about what Daisy would look like. ”

“Yes. I will show you a glamorous, distinctive look, no doubt! ”

We were jabbering at each other.

I remembered the sentence, "Bob," in the pot, but I ignored it. What do I do if this is just a normal day at my Horse Castle?

The surgical instruments Daisy was using in the first place came out of my pocket. Daisy was obliged to pay for the use of my goods. There was nothing wrong. I sincerely hoped that Daisy would make a great scene…….
