Egret

In front of the desk located on the 1st floor of the Colosseum, the alias "outlaw state" was colourless and the people stood in line with each other.

As all those who came to the Colosseum were gathered to earn the Gold Rank, it was vague to shout loudly here.

Then there was a strange situation in which each other voluntarily kept order in order to deter each other.

Judas calmly joined the line.

Estimated duration is about 1 hour 47 minutes.

Jay calculated his own time without asking. Gaya scratches her back as she looks at the front row with a boring look.

“Are these all nocturnal? You walk around well at night. ”

“I saw a lot of people during the day. Isn't it just day and night without distinction? ”

After they traveled around Midgard for days, there were always so many people on the streets that they wanted to sleep whenever they could.

“Yes, each one has different hours of activity. People who are comfortable during the day, people who are comfortable at night, move at night. ”

In contrast, when Ricky gave me an unorthodox face, the group from Lubarzan gave me a steamy look.

‘It's so different from the Empire in every way. I know why I can't be friends. ’

In Lubarzan, all work ends at sunset. Only inns or specialty occupations for travelers continue to operate, but most stop doing what they used to do and go home.

Those groups from Lubarzan seemed to know why they had fought like immortals without getting to know each other in the countries that were close to each other above and below the continent.

The two countries were different, but too different. From lifestyles to institutions, religions and values.

“Hmm?”

The new line of people winked behind the group, who were sharing their stories and soothing the boredom of waiting times.

“Hold still. Who is this? ”

“ ……? ”

“Isn't that the son of that great impostor? ”

He who speaks like a chew at Ricky was a middle-aged bully.

When the child turned around, he looked at the pale yellow pupil like a ripe wheat field and said in a cold angry tone.

“Rocky Parbaouti. A scammer who took the treasure of Sichuan Odin and ran away. ”

“What? Dad's not a fraud! ”

Ricky yells at the barracks, but the people nearby start murmuring about it.

“Rocky Parbaouti"? Am I not the name of the Information Management Staff? ”

“That's right. Last year or next year, he's probably dead. ”

“I heard that Sichup's treasure was taken from behind and then destroyed by Stabzin. ”

“No, that's all a lie! Dad would never do that! ”

The unjust cry did not reach anyone.

“Stupid kid. Why do you think I recognized you? ”

The man who recognized Ricky first lifted his finger and pointed to the pink spirit.

“Thanks to that navigation. ”

“Jay?"

“Yes, that's the navigation the impostor Rocky pulled. It was originally supposed to go to Sichup. ”

It wasn't true I didn't know it was Ricky. The child was there until the moment of his father's death. I knew what was killing me and what people were after.

‘It's just that my father's inventions were tamed. ’

Ricky closes his mouth and grinds his teeth.

“And I'm a developer colleague who helped Rocky develop a new product. ”

“Why didn't you believe your father when you said you were a colleague? Jay's not the stuff your dad pulled. If that's true, why won't Siobhan look for the day that Jay has now? ”

I still had no reason to spare the son of a criminal who dared to scam against Sichup. Rather, I haven't been able to meet him for the last two years, no matter how hard I tried to meet him.

“Look, Jay's an old-fashioned model. Loading takes a long time, and sometimes Lex eats it. I haven't received any updates yet, so I don't have a few features. ”

Even in this situation, Jay was calmly sitting at the back of his hand waiting for his master's orders. Ricky lifts Jay up in front of his eyes, feeling like he's going to cry.

“Two years ago, my father gave it to me as his last birthday gift..... ”

“That's what I need to know. ”

The man who was his father's companion cut Ricky's words with a snort.

“Do you know what we were developing back then? ”

“What?”

“Virus.”

“ ……! ”

Virus means a malicious program that infiltrates a machine program, infects a system, and consequently destroys it.

Jay senses Ricky's reaction and tells him what the word means. Of course, Ricky wasn't surprised because he didn't know what he meant.

“Soon after that damn research failed, I beat up the developers and got into the promotion war like I am now. Ha, now that you've taken your hands off the virus, it's comforting. ”

“You failed? Why do you call your father a fraud? ”

“Failure? Failure was just a formal announcement. Rocky, that crook was a fucking genius. He succeeded in developing the virus. That's the navigation" J "you're holding. ”

Ricky stares down at Jay in a daze. The spirit of pink was just staring at him with a naive expression that knew nothing.

“I don't know why he left you. Probably because they don't know that. ”

“But……. That's weird. Then why did you ask Sichup's father to develop the virus..... ”

I couldn't understand. Sichup, that is, Midgard's first factor. He already dominates the entire territory and there is no one to defeat him.

I didn't think there was any reason to create a weapon called a virus under such circumstances. While Ricky was in shock, the man kept buzzing.

“What do you know, kid? Apparently, I was planning on using that navigation as a weapon to join the Ascendance. Arthur, we need to destroy it now. ”

“Destroy Jay...? ”

“Yes. I'm glad I recognized you before I joined the Colosseum. You almost spread the virus if you did something wrong. ”

A middle-aged man, who was a colleague of his father's, reached out his hand towards Ricky.

“So give it to me. I'll destroy it instead. ”

“No.”

“Huh?”

“No! Jay is the spirit my dad gave me for my birthday. Don't talk about the virus because it's a scammer. ”

The guy who saw Ricky growling wrapped around Jay frowned.

“Do you think this is stubborn? Give me that right now! ”

“Why should I? What do you know about viruses or whatever? If it was Sioux's stuff in the first place, tell him to stand up for himself, not the guy who came out of the boat with you! ”

“You fucking kid! ”

Oh, my God!

When I didn't think I'd hear it in words, he pulled out his gun and picked it up. However, cold metal touched his neck before aiming it properly.

“I'm sorry to interrupt, but this kid is with us. ”

Sword?

It was an unfamiliar weapon in Midgard, occupied by machine culture.

“It's hard to see more rudeness than this. ”

In the meantime, the man who cared about the blade that touched his neck turned his eyes to Judas, who grabbed Ricky's shoulder and made him step back.

“Who are you? ”

“Hmm.”

Instead of answering, Judas puts his chin up like he's thinking of something. The man who was irritated by the weak attitude turned on his navigation.

Suddenly, there was a strong armor all over the body. A man surrounded by Seaman's full armor seemed to see a giant monster like him.

As if he were throwing Edan's sword at a toy with a glorious steel hand, he shouts loudly.

“If you want to get in the way, kneel before me! If you think you can beat me to the top 20 of the gold ranks with a knife...! ”

Kwung!

The people who were in the bowel at the same time sighed. There were some people who doubted my eyes. As he said, it was a really big mistake.

“Yes. Once you can fight, you can win. ”

I didn't need Judas at all, whether it was a knife or a gun anyway. The man had already fallen before him and was forced to fall down.

The sound of strong pressure from the earth's spirits fails to overcome, and the steel armor is overflowing.

“If so, why did you fight me? ”

“Argh. Suh, breath..... ”

My body fell flat on the ground and I couldn't even breathe. Fear of death before my eyes caused me to cry with tears.

“You're arrogant.”

It was a tone more insensitive than a machine. The moment the people who were watching started to step back, one by one, under pressure, someone rushed in.

“Stop!”

Like a bombed man, a hot-headed man wanders around the spectators and pops out.

I was wearing glasses on a dry body shape. He takes a deep breath and says hello to Judas.

“I'm sorry I'm late. My name is Midgard Grading Staff, Henry. ”

‘Staff.’

Judas, who saw the stab necklace on his neck, reaped the power of the spirit hook.

The man who was stuck on the ground and suffocated was already stunned. Henry politely suggested that he look at Judas.

“You're not going to do this here, are you going to talk to me separately? I'll take you inside."

“Why, why is Staff doing this on their own? ”

Someone asked, "Battles within the Midgard, including the Sequence Battle, have always been autonomous and have not interfered greatly at the top.

“That's what I have to do as a staff member. ”

Henry smiles awkwardly with his glasses fixed.

“Isn't that right? Challenger of Sichup. ”

Looking back at Judas' group, no more complaints arose among the spectators. Henry took the group and led them to the empty room.

“Huh? Do you talk in such a small room? ”

Baikal burst into question with a mixture of complaints. There were no tables, chairs or anything in the room.

Besides, when the group came in, it was tight enough. It was more like a warehouse for storing things than a room.

“No, it's an elevator. ”

Henry described it as a machine that could move to the desired floor number if it waited for a few seconds.

After a while, as explained, they climbed to the top of the Colosseum, the 33rd floor. When I got off the elevator, I saw the sky scattering rain beyond the window that follows the chaotic space.

Henry took the cloudy sky as a background and sat them on the couch.

“Let's get straight to the point. The reason I finished you off is simple. ”

‘End of story.’

Judas weighed on his expression. It doesn't just show up as a staff, it means you got something to do.

“Sisop has invited you to Ragnarok. ”

Henry, who took the invitation out of his arms, immediately handed it over to Judas.

“What about Ragnarok?”

“This is where Sizep lives. It's the heart of Midgard. ”

“Isn't the heart of the country the capital Asgard? ”

“Mm-hmm.”

Henry twitches his nose.

“It is true that Asgard plays an important role as the country's capital. But not the heart. ”

“I see.”

“What do you want to do? If you accept Sichup's invitation, you can open it. ”

“Can I say no? ”

“Well, that's surprising. I didn't think there was any reason for you to say no. Of course you can say no. Midgard is a country that respects individual freedoms. ”

In Judas's question, Henry just smiled with a nice face.
