M E M O R I Z E

Almost two months have passed since Erwin left for the Fairy Forest and Tanatos woke up. The Knights of the Round Table took several seats in the meantime, either individually or in a group, and thoroughly examined Tanatos' position. Then, they organized their thoughts in their own way.

But the plan didn't go as smoothly as anyone wanted it to. The only advantage of the Demon Faction now is that it's directly on the Hall Plane. Staying in the dimension of the Summoning Chamber can have much more contact opportunities than an angel who calls on humans whenever necessary. However, 'Man is not a puppet.’ It was an obstacle to surrender the right to action.

In a certain way, it was natural. Tanatos discusses the angel's purpose to the best of his ability, and the human accepts it to some extent.

But that was it. So what do you want me to do? ’I did not react, but the situation was not supportive. The message was that the incitement was successful, but there was something lacking to lead to action. The fact that it is being used as an angel's long term word has influenced that anger, however, has since established a friendly relationship with each other.

In other words, South is not West. Although he prides himself on being the best, he prefers peace under order rather than pillaging and killing, and acts reasonably rather than improvively. In other words, the number of people who adapt and settle in this world is greater than the devil's mind.

This was not the only one. Melinus, of course, cannot deny that the Knights of the Round Table, including Eldora, are a respected group. However, one thing is certain is that they are not all of South Korea.

It was the same problem due to loss, similar causes. In order to erase the perception that an angel was a pure helper and to sow the seeds of disbelief that had been sown, we needed to reveal the purpose of an angel more clearly, to be more liberal.

However, we cannot ask Eldora to come in and uncover the truth in ignorance. This was the worst handshake a demon could possibly choose right now. We only had one chance, so we need to get to the point where we can maximize.

Anyway, running out of time was the biggest problem. While the only time left was meaningless, Satan finally made a choice at the end of the garage. If a bad outcome is expected either way, we chose to accept the chaos that would arise in the human world, rather than risk being spotted by angels and blowing the chance.

So we moved up the D-Day and the third plan.

Boom!

“What are you talking about! ”

That's why the meeting was held.

Natalie rises from her seat and looks around her surroundings, her face blazing.

Today, a total of eighteen users gathered in the Blue Palace. Fourteen were Knights of the Round Table and Melinus, and the rest were heads of the Lord's Clan, leading four other cities. The Elpin Clan of the East City, the Pax Clan of the West City, the Carphediem Clan of the South City, and the Knox Clan of the North City. In fact, all the users representing the southern continent are in one place.

“Eastern Continent Conquest? Am I hearing this wrong? ”

“Whoa, easy there. Knight of the Search. I was surprised enough. ”

At that time, a slightly skinny-looking man with a somewhat arrogant look and arrogant feeling shook his hand. This user was the owner of the Awakening Secret Class' Saint of the Heap Drug War ’and was Carpetdiem Lord who dreamed of implementing Sodom and Gomorrah.

“At first, I wanted to say something... I didn't know you were going to say" conquer the Eastern Continent. "The Odin Clan, who has always been at the forefront of justice. ”

She burst into laughter like she was trying to ventilate the atmosphere.

“By the way, before you talk to us, I thought you had some kind of story wrapped up inside. ”

You sweep up your forehead with your hands and wipe Natalie clean.

“I don't know everything, but I wanted to hear the first reaction as much as it was an issue. And after all, you're important to our South. ”

Ian talks nicely with his glasses up. Carphediem Lord smiled.

“Well, good. But…."

Then he slowly detached his back from the chair, resting on the table, his gray eyes flashed sharply.

“Ah, you'll have to explain the state in detail so that everyone can be reassured. Unless you're making fun of us. ”

“Haha. Is there any?" I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. ”

Ian bows his head in silence. At this rate, Carphediem Lord nods, smiling and smiling. Seeing that, some knights frowned, but didn't say much. I knew the man in front of me was emotionally overwhelmed.

“No, you don't have to apologize. I'm just a little surprised. And I should warn you, I'm not basically against war. It's a war in human history, if you have to. Of course!”

“Yes, yes. Absolutely."

“Oh, that's a long story. So tell me about it. I'll listen to you."

“Yes, of course. ”

Ian clears his throat for a moment before placing the center of the map on the table.

“First of all, I think you understand what I just said. ”

“I definitely understood the Angel's purpose. North-East, South-South, Fourth Continent Around the Center and Arbitrage each other I'm not sure yet, but I think it makes sense. ”

“Then I'll tell you again. If we attack the Eastern Continent and succeed in capturing it, there will be four great benefits in total. ”

“Four things? ”

Ian extends his thumb-folded hand forward.

“Number one. You can pre-empt your opponent in a square war around the central continent in the future. Second. EXP can be gained. If we think about our work in the future, we will have to fight in groups with the same humans and not monsters, but the war on the East Continent will certainly give us valuable combat experience. Number three: we can get supplies from the Eastern Continent, whether it's users or achievements. This is.... needn't be said anymore, right? And...”

“Wait, I don't think that makes any sense. ”

It was then. As soon as Ian spoke quickly, the man who had been sitting still suddenly hung up. Characteristics were an ordinary man, not to say the least, but not just any user as long as he was in this meeting. This user appeared neutral and peaceful to the outside, but in fact was the owner of the city, Parks Road, considered an opportunist.

“I was surprised by the sudden story, but it sounds too optimistic. I don't want to pretend to know you, but war is not that easy. Haven't you thought about the last time you walked into a fight and destroyed each other? Even if we win, what if we don't talk? ”

“Aha. Of course. So I didn't tell you this. ”

It sounds like an attack, but Ian opens his mouth as if he was waiting.

“Is Pax Lord aware of the current situation on the East Continent? ”

“... I don't know the details. ”

Speaking in a confident manner, Pax Lord said with a sharp twist.

“The reason I'm optimistic about winning is simple. The current state of development on the East is the lowest of the four continents. It's totally cool. Would you believe it if it had just taken over the Great City, not just the New World? But will they be able to face us? ”

“No, I mean, do we really need to attack a well-mannered East Continent? Wouldn't it be better to wage war against the continent? There is a reason for those who have been driven out, and there is something to say to the angels. ”

“That's odd. The West is already abandoned and undiscovered. Why take it over? We're not even philanthropists. ”

“What?"

Pax Lord's eyebrows twitch.

“If you focus on profit, you are mistaken about Pax Road. ”

However, Ian boldly said without shaking an inch.

“The west continent is strong, just no more back-ups. Apparently, there's still about 10,000 of them left, and one of them is a veteran. It's an honor to survive in a place where killing and pillaging are everyday. So I think it's nothing compared to the Eastern Continent. ”

“So, you will feed the weaker East Continent. ”

“Is there a reason why not? ”

“Good. I heard you. ”

Glug! Parks Lord, who snorts so hard, straightaway pulls his chair up.

“There's nothing to say, if that's what you think, but I disagree. In fact, I doubt anyone in front of me really is Odin. ”

“Pax Road. ”

“No, let's stop. I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that today. And I'm sorry about the cold water, but I'll be going now. ”

“ ……. ”

Soon, Eldora, who was closing her eyes quietly, leapt once, and left the meeting hall with a thumping step. A moment of awkward silence passed. In this silence, Ian opens his mouth quietly.

“I'll finish what I started. Fourth, we have the power to target another continent. ”

“Huh? What's that supposed to mean? ”

Carphediem Lord once tasted again with his chin tucked.

“What are you talking about? Wouldn't the Eastern Continent be the same as when we raided the Orc Castle and discovered Ragnarok? We're just about to start a big city, and the New Continent can't even dream of living in it. ”

“Wait. What if we attack it? ”

“Yes. If we could just get through the barren wilderness, we would.... ”

“Oh.”

I was amazed to remember the reward I received when I found Ragnarok. Every user had to be sensitive to abilities, so it was worth pulling on.

“No, I'm against it. ”

However, a sharp voice pierced Ian, as if the power didn't think so. Natalie has been standing there staring at Ian the whole time. Ian sighs deeply as if he were sorry.

“I'd like to hear why. ”

“There's no reason. It's the same as Pax Lord. ”

“Why? The West and North have also been at war. Is there anything we can't do? ”

“Oh, so you'll do the same?

“Are you being sarcastic? As I said before, the goal of this war is to keep future competitors at bay. Everything else is just following. ”

“Stop. I don't want to hear it. ”

“Natalie, you didn't just see 18 people sitting here and say, I saw it from afar, and I thought about the entire South. ”

“Please, stop talking nonsense! ”

Natalie raises her voice as if she doesn't want to hear it anymore.

“I'm talking about the Way! ”

“… of FIG. …. Yo?"

Ian looks like he took a punch.

“Yes, Deo! Did the East Coast do something bad to us? So we're animals? Why are you suddenly bringing this up? ”

After a long pause in the shouting, I suddenly burst out a giggle.

“Dodo, morality.... Haha, hahahaha! ”

Natalie frowns, smiling like crazy. Ami frowned unconditionally, and I suddenly remembered the unbelievable look in his eyes.

“You…. Is that Ian?”

Ian stopped laughing. Then he lifts his glasses, steals his eyes with the back of his hand, and shakes his head.

“Oh, I'm sorry if you're upset. But it's so funny. ”

“Funny?”

“Doh. Good point. Okay, so I have a question for you. ”

“... What is it? ”

“If you're so skeptical, why didn't you oppose attacking the Orc Castle? In fact, we didn't have a big encounter with each other until we went in. ”

“Are you kidding? Like Orcs and Humans? ”

The moment Natalie says something absurd, Ian's eyes flash.

“What's different? ”

“What, what? ”

“Yes, of course, they're different. But everything else is the same. The Orcs I experienced were clearly forming a society. There was a chieftain named Orc Lord. There was a chieftain named Shaman. Then surely there must have been a father, a mother, and a child?... But we are the ones who trampled it without leaving a single seed behind. that if we weren't, we would still be on our own. ”

“You!”

“Otherwise, you're a monster, not a human. By the way, back then, you were betting on Akirov and who would kill more? ”

“ ……. ”

Natalie's face is red. His mouth was tingling, but he seemed to be speechless for a moment.

“If that's what you really think, I'd say, ”

Ian said so. He casually fixed his naked glasses.

“In this world, we are not human. … No, at least not before I was a person. ”

And you look at them.

“We are users. ”

I spoke quietly.

The silence passes. Natalie stares at Ian dazed in shock for a moment.

And after a while.

“That's …. ”

I felt a lonely glow on my face.

“... It's an ulcer. ”

Leaving one word behind, Natalie turns away. And before anyone could say a word, he disappeared from the conference room like the wind.
