King of Shadows

Suspicious causal relationship. Only one case. Robert's suspicions were plausible. But that was it. It was true that the fragments of the palatica were rare, but they were not worth the trouble and the high risks. vague expectations that we might discover new forms of energy sources. That was the significance of a piece of Palatica.

"There's nothing good about sneaking it out. They won't even be able to go through the research officially. But there's more to dealing with personally than meets the eye."

"I would have sold it on the black market. Rich people love that stuff. It's everywhere, isn't it? Or the assumption that Dr. Slander uncovered a secret hidden in a piece of Palatica."

"..."

After a persistent bite, Robert gave a pretextual answer. The effort was irresponsible enough. He shakes his head. Robert was full of conspiracy theories, but there was nothing in them. It was all about assumptions and hypotheses.

"Bererosa, what do you think? Does Dr. Slander look like someone who could do something big in the near future?"

"There is no future in my eyes." Maybe Robert saw something in vain. Robert says that there is a suspicious situation, but it cannot be resolved unless there is evidence. "

Nothing shines in the third eye. It must have been Robert's overreaction. Bererosa knew that he was reckless, so he didn't mind much.

At Bererosa's sentence, Robert looks at the demonstration with a worried eye.

"Brother, don't you believe me?"

"... I don't believe it. But if Dr. Slander does anything suspicious, I'll take your word for it first. That's enough, right?"

Robert smiles brightly as a beam of light descends. He showed Xihyun and Bererosa in a cheerful manner, as if when he was depressed.

"I'm glad it's simple."

"Bererosa, don't say that because you might hear it. But he was worried about us."

Sihyun remembered the face of Slander as he walked to the pier with Bererosa. I didn't believe everything Robert said. If what he claims is true, then Slander has been predicting the appearance of Grandeliol for a long time, and that he already knows how to use the pieces of Palatica.

It's a natural story, but we didn't have that knowledge. If it exists, it exists outside the human race. A great old being, or an alien, had to be the target. However, Sihyun recognized Slander as a human being. And the tribute he was carrying convinced he was human.

'I have to watch for a while.'

When Jay arrived on the Gate, he was also in Zephyros, the land governed by the Lobbs and Fahlem. Located in the western part of Zephyros, it was also a commercial city where everything on the continent was gathered. Early in the morning, it was crowded with people who could not stop because of the name of the city that did not stop. It was a tranquil landscape that could be seen anywhere.

Even though Zephyros was united by The Circle, the world did not become hell or perish. It was more uniform, just more organized. The lives of those who did not have were becoming increasingly frustrating, and those who were standing on an invisible wall and distanced themselves from them, but it was a phenomenon that had happened before more circles appeared.

Despite the horrible stench of injustice and corruption, the world has turned into nothing. Nothing changes with a few broken gears. It was the world that went on without you.

When Jay arrived in the "Special Command" area outside of Parlem, he separated from his colleagues and arrived at the office of his line manager, Cole Braum. Even for my line manager, this was my third meeting. Once when I was first a sentinel, once when I was sent to Earth. Jay and Cole's relationship was not dry enough. It was a relationship that couldn't get better at the beginning.

As soon as Jay sat down, he was questioned, from the moment he was dispatched five years ago, until the Shadow King appeared and thoroughly destroyed the sentinels' plans. Jay, who organized his thoughts in his head, poured out a series of processes.

Technically, the watchmen 'plans to overthrow the Hayler continent were not approved by their superiors, so there was nothing to be blamed for. However, he did not hesitate to unravel everything he knew because he had been let loose by Kay.

It wasn't that hard. It took an hour to tell the story, but it was not Jay's fault, it was due to Cole's meticulous nature.

"Is this the end?"

It was a hard speech, but it was only after that that that Jay could feel relieved. It's because he's wearing a traitor's coat without being noticed, which increases his chances of survival.

"Yes."

"Well, go ahead. It is time to be free until the command is delivered. Wait for me at the residence on the paperwork."

Jay leaves Cole behind without releasing his tension strap until the end. He hasn't taken a few steps outside of the Special Command. It's because S. appeared before my eyes. After finishing the report faster than anyone else, S waved his hands as soon as he saw Jay.

"Is it over?"

"Yes, it's over."

"Then let's go get a drink. I still remember that ale I haven't had in five years." Let's enjoy this moment since we're back with the Cado family, who's always nagging at our sides. "

S. smiled nervously as it did to the outward-boy- But Jay didn't blame S. Unlike being a child, S was an adult. It was none of my business whether I drank or drank and got lost in the street.

"I'm sorry, but I'll postpone it for the next time. I have an appointment."

"I'm disappointed you didn't take my offer. Do you have a secret lover?"

"Maybe so."

"What?"

An unexpected answer, S. looks like a fool. Jay tapped his shoulder and took a step. He wanted to go to a place where there were people waiting for him as soon as possible, a place he hadn't seen for five years. There was a family there that had to be separated.

After escaping the Special Command, Jay strolls through the streets with a long memory. Beyond the bright and colorful streets, he goes into a slightly darker place. When Jay reached an isolated street and a place filled with people he didn't have, he left everything in his memory.

Soon after, Jay sighs of relief as he sees a small brick house. After five years, his nest was still standing.

Jay, standing in front of a brick house, or orphanage, seemed to be hit by a strong gust of wind, was immersed in thought. It was a house in the Slum, but it was more precious to him than anything else.

Where he grew up. A place with everything about him. In the beginning, Jay applied to the lookout to support the orphanage. There were only four people left, including Jay, so the name orphanage became famous, but it was definitely a precious nest.

"Uh, this is Jay."

"You're really Jay!?"

In front of the orphanage, the children who were playing in a small clearing ran towards him as soon as they saw Jay. Jay held them in his arms, thinking that the boy was Tom Jifiel and the girl was Shelley Jifiel.

The last time I saw them, the children who couldn't even reach their thighs now touched my waist. When he was on Earth, he could not realize the five years, but he could only see how long it was after returning to his home-operated home.

"It's been a long time, Tom, Shelley. You've grown so much without seeing it."

"Of course. I'm bigger than the others."

"But I'm still two centimeters taller than you."

"What?"

Tom and Shelley got into a brawl over nothing. Jay knew they didn't fit together like water and oil. After five years, Jay smiled with a happy smile. Tom and Shelley, 11, grew up just as well as he thought.

"Who's here?"

The woman who appeared behind the orphanage had a quality that was not suitable for the slums. Rich, shiny pink hair that can't be covered with worn out dresses. And the gentle gesture was enough to stimulate the minds of all men.

Lara Gifiel, a woman who grew up like Jay from childhood, opened her eyes as soon as she saw him. She showed up with one piece of news that had not been right for five years. Lara's body moves faster than she thinks. She hugged Jay with all her might.

Suddenly, tears started to flow from Lara's eyes.

"Ugh, ugh. Jay, right?"

"Yes, I wouldn't have died for you."

Jay patted Lara on the back. It was Lara's father who took away Jay, who had been orphaned by the terrible war, and Lara gave him an unforgettable memory as a preemie. She was like a lantern to Jay. Without Lara, he wouldn't be here right now.

I fell away from him while rubbing the edge of his eyes, Lara, who ruled his mind for a while. After sniffing her nose, she looked up at Jay with a mixture of resentment and gladness.

"Still. You don't just show up here without a call."

"If it hadn't come out of nowhere, I wouldn't have seen you cry like this. I just wanted to see you truly thinking of me, so don't keep it in your heart. And returning to Zephyros was suddenly decided. I had no choice."

"Anyway, Jay, I think your mouth is going to flutter out of the water."

"That's what I do best, right?"

Jay smiled brightly as he saw his childhood friend's smile. A smile and joy I didn't show my colleagues. Jay confronted Lara and told her all her worries and worries. All he could see was Lara.

"You must be hungry? I was just about to make your favorite potato soup. Come in, let's eat together."

"Let's have a look at how good you've gotten in five years."

"Hehe, look forward to it."

Jay went into the orphanage with Lara. Tom and Shelley also followed them. Surrounded by small dining tables, they unleashed a story they had stored up for five years. Tom and Shelley recited an elongated episode. But Jay also enjoyed it. The blood didn't go on, but they were family. It couldn't have been boring to hear their stories for a long time.

Jay stares at Lara's hand. The thin, small hand was not enough to be full of stiff flesh and the skin was cracked. He couldn't make up his mind as Lara's troubles were visible. I chose to be a watchman in order to make a living, but as a result, I became a burden to her. It would not be normal to raise two children alone.

Jay shakes his head and continues to speak in a slightly more lively voice, as if relieving pain and worry.

"So you're going back."

"Don't be sad. This will be the last time. You've got the money you need, right? Just a little more and we'll have at least a small retailer."
