“I know. ”

In the hazy flower fields, Pure Saint picks up a teacup. Her sanctuary, spread out under a clear sky without blurring, is the image of a paradise that anyone can think of as ideal. This paradise itself was a place of artificial reproduction of the universal ideal, and so was this flower field. But this flower field was the place that Pure St. loved in this kingdom.

“I haven't forgotten my promise. I can't forget, can I? Rather, what worries me is that you're breaking your promise. ”

Pure Saint muttered, biting the cup of tea with his lips. The only thing sitting at the tea table in the flower field is Pure St. I don't see who her opponent is. But what she was saying was not to herself.

“I'll give you what you want. Because that's a promise, so you have to listen to my wishes in return. ”

After a sip of tea, Pure St puts down a cup of tea. She looks forward with a calm smile.

“Don't be rude. Promise... No, the deal has to be clear. Yes, of course. I don't think a great man like you would use lies and deception against a subservient. I have no intention of deceiving anyone like you. So we... have to trust each other. We will never betray each other. That trust binds us...”

Pure Saint's words stopped. She listens to the laughter that is heard in her head. That was a laugh.

“... don't get me wrong. I want a friendly relationship with you, not to say equal to you. We can never be equal. But trust is not necessarily an equal relationship, is it? So is the deal. I'm not giving it to you. It's about making a deal. ”

Witch.

Machine is dying, but Pure Saint is not agitated. She knocked on the teacup she put down with her fingertips and said,

“I hope that contempt and blasphemy towards me will not be a major obstacle to our dealings. Oh, of course. I know that you are not foolish enough to ruin a deal that satisfies each other with contempt and blasphemy alone. Aren't you desperate for each other? ”

I can hear Marcin's snoring. The last drink of it is no longer heard. Pure Saint broke his connection to Marcin with a smile.

Greedy and poor. Pure Saint mutters like that and raises his body from the chair. She recalled the conversation with Marcin as she walked slowly through the flower field.

‘It would have been nice if he had died there. ’

Or was it better to come back without dying? It is still unknown. Pure Saint recalled Baek Hyun. I don't know how he got into the command that the Demon King of Dance conquered. Missing a year ago. It was clear that there was something Pure Saint did not know. In fact, it doesn't matter. The important thing is,

Marcin told me to offer Baek Hyun. It was not the life of Baek Hyun that the ancient great being wished for, but his sacrifice as a living sacrifice. That's it. Well, there's nothing I can't listen to. If only Machine could make sure of the deal. It's Baek Hyun's life. I can give it to you as much as I want. After being so imaginative, it was not the Al Bar of Pure Saint that Machin would do Baek Hyun.

‘But you don't like it. ’

Pure Saint thought, sitting in the middle of a hazy flower field. She stared at flowers with exceptionally red leaves of various colours.

“Sarah.”

Pure St reached out with a gentle smile. Most of the smiles she made were made by necessity, but not now. I don't build it to show anyone. For her, a false smile was undoubtedly the truth.

“Don't hate me. ”

Pure Saint stretched out his fingertips saying so. She touches the petals with a gentle touch, as if she were treating the most precious thing.

“You'll need him now, so if you take him away now, you'll be angry. If you do, you might ruin it. Maybe he'll ruin himself. ”

I don't like that.

I hate it, I'm scared.

“So, I'll take it later. When it's okay to take it from you. ”

In this way, I didn't know it would meet again in this world. Fate and Miracle... Pure Saint smiles brightly and breaks flowers. Even though I had just touched it, I was determined and obstinate to break flowers. Then he raises his body, and he still digs, and puts a red flower in his head.

“We'll be happy. ”

Let's go back together, make new memories.

There will no longer be anything to cry over the blanket.

*

I couldn't tell Sarah that Pure Saint was the witch who destroyed Proa. Because when I said that, Sarah almost didn't know what to do.

There was no direct confirmation that Pure Saint was a witch in society. But it had to be seen as almost certain. If so, the direct cause of all the misfortunes Proa and Sarah suffered could be Pure Saint.

So I couldn't say.

"What the hell? ’

Baek Hyun couldn't even imagine why Pure Saint did it and what he was decorating. Not all of Abyss' rapids know the past, but as far as Baek Hyun knows, Pure Saint is uglier than anyone else. He destroyed the whole world, betrayed the Black Rose Queen who believed in him, and now he has a hand with the Drinker. What does Pure St. want with that? What the hell is she trying to accomplish with the source of chaos?

“Amazon must be hot, right? ”

“It won't be cold. ”

In the Perforated Living Room, Sarah was clinging to the side of Baek Hyun. I used to insist on this kind of distance, but it's been sticking to me ever since. Rather than worrying about what was going to happen in the Amazon, Sarah was thinking about what to wear there and spreading out her clothes.

Sarah's clothes were all over her. In the absence of Baek Hyun, it was thanks to the efforts of Essence to care for Sarah who was so depressed. I walked around department stores and shopping malls almost every week, so I could get more clothes.

“How about this? ”

Sarah raises her skilful dress and asks. A sleeveless dress with white embroidery. The skirt was quite short, and the fabric was slightly lighter when worn.

“No. ”

“Why? It's pretty. ”

“Who walks around in the jungle dressed like that? It's gonna get dirty, it's gonna get torn up, it's gonna get messy. ”

I couldn't tell you openly why I didn't like it. So he gave her a good reason, and Sarah swollen her cheeks and convinced her.

I was a little uncomfortable seeing the clothes spread out as they were. Of all the clothes that Baek Hyun had given Sarah, only a few were different from the first one he had given her. Next time, next time, I put it off like that. I didn't end up buying anything. Did you ever say we should go to the department store together? After all, it was the same now.

I wish I knew this. I'd do some shopping before I leave.

‘I got caught for nothing. ’

Baek Hyun twists his legs with a fat expression. It's not going to the next country, it's the Amazon on the other side of the planet. Suzua asked me to tell Hado's party to the sea. Thanks to this, I met the government and devoured my time.

It was only considered a nuisance for Baek Hyun, but it was also a dramatic decline. In fact, it was good to be a mass of privilege.

You can use porosity to go to Amazon, but don't listen to other countries.

If possible, join the Investigation Force and act together after arriving at Amazon.

If it's not a crowd and it's not offensive, follow the investigators' instructions.

Permission to act alone, if necessary, but do not do anything that is not humanitarian in nature.

Just the provisions that came to mind right now were not compulsions. He encouraged the paperwork and signed the paperwork because the sweaty official's naked head didn't hurt. Sometimes there was nothing I couldn't keep. I did not intend to enter another country, and for now I intend to join the headquarters of the Investigation Group, which included the Western colonies and other apostles. Humanitarian wrongdoing?

‘I don't know what's humanly right. ’

That's different depending on the situation. It was evidence of how conscious and noticeable the Korean government was of the existence of Baek Hyun, even if it was doing this much for convenience and asking for a favor rather than coercion.

“You know, the Amazon, the Amazon. Are you going to swim there? ”

Sarah turns her head with her eyes shining. She had a plain bikini swimsuit in her hand, and her eyes were staring down.

“I'm not going to play. What swim? And there's piranhas and crocodiles and stuff in the river, right? ”

“What does that have to do with anything? ”

Sarah looked suspicious and asked. But there's no way to scare crocodiles and piranhas. But leaving it, Baek Hyun didn't want to enter the Amazon River because of the obvious horror.

“Well... I saw it on the Internet a long time ago. There's a strange worm or fish in the Amazon River. ”

“What is it?”

“The man's... there, there. ”

“There?”

“Here."

Baek Hyun coughs and points to his groin with his fingers. Sarah's eyes flutter and tremble.

“Into that hole... here. Just eat it, eat it like that...”

“Oh, I'm not going in. ”

Sarah swallowed her saliva and said, In fact, if you're prepared for a bug or a fish like that, you won't get hurt. I didn't want to go into a river with such a terrible man. I don't know if he's after a man or a woman in the first place. I wanted to go in with Baek Hyun if I went in after one. But if we go in with him and he gets beat up by that horrible guy...

‘No, you can't. ’

I've never seen it before. Sarah quietly tucks her swimsuit in with a cold sweat.

[You have arrived.]

I heard the voice of Afras. Baek Hyun raised his body and approached the window. The port city of Manaus in Brazil is no longer visible. What was unfolded below was the Amazon River, which continued endlessly, and the massive upwelling. A group of investigators, including the colonists and apostles, entered the Amazon through the river.

I recalled the story I heard from the nightmare maker before arriving. Amazon is a few tens of times bigger than Korea. Even though monsters didn't breed near Manaus, he said that deep in the jungle is not a reality, but an Abyss. It is the land of monsters, not beasts. Even in the days of the Administration, the monsters thrown up by Amazon's Abyss were not properly defeated, and it is impossible for humans to fully manage that huge jungle.

This is the world where the world's most ghosts live, and Abyss itself has eroded reality. Moreover, some regions are protected by powerful alchemy, making it impossible to navigate by the magic of nightmare makers. Currently, the Investigation Group has placed the area in sight to defeat monsters and search for followers and Matador.

[Have you arrived?]

“I arrived in the Amazon. I have a little bit more time to go where you are. ”

I heard Valencia's voice in Arachne.

[I'll send you the coordinates. Give it to Perforator and he'll find it.]

“You want me to wait there? ”

[This is the front line of communication.]

Valencia replied.

[That front is blocked by a shield. Entrance seems acceptable, but we still don't know what's going to happen when we get inside. Communications are being blocked.]

It's not the whole Amazon, but even if it's central, it's going to be a few times the size of Korea. Can you open a shield of that magnitude alone? As an ignorant white man, I was forced to put out my tongue.

[He's the culmination of Madonna and the end of justice.]

The voice changes. It was the voice of a sewing doll. I didn't seem to like the idea of evaluating the inverse puncture.

[But it's great, but it's not so great. It's freer to use tricks than magic if you have the right conditions. No matter how large you are, you can keep the shield efficiently with the trick if you keep your heart upright while maintaining the shield in advance. So this is kind of a practical...]

“No, I don't know that. You're saying you can break the shield if you just find the Lord? ”

[Exactly. You don't have to break everything, you just smash a few of them and they'll fall apart. It's a shield that maintains efficiency. The problem is you can't do it even if you know the answer.]

The sewing doll grumbled.

[I can't find you without entering the shield. It's impossible to navigate, so I'm forced to shoot bare. At least what you can expect is your peace of mind... You'd better come and see for yourself.]

The sewing doll said so and was silent for a while.

[The Reverse Force has done quite a lot so far, but not as openly as it is now. The scale is not comparable until now.]

“Yes.”

[I don't know what he's trying to do here yet... but when he sees something like this, it's one thing for sure.]

Baek Hyun slowly retreated from the window. In her ears, the nightmare maker, not the sewing doll, roared.

[If you do well, you can catch the counter-piercing here and kill it.]
