Amcheon Township
I had never been to a place called Seven-year-old Town in Taisan, so I decided to go to Taisan first. Taisan is the spiritual property of the church in the mountain region, most of the middle-aged people were aware of its existence.
Taisan was famous for nothing else. Since the beginning of the history of neutralization and after the first neutralization, it was the place where Bongcheon was conscious. In fact, there has been a service ceremony since the time of the Lord, but it was close to the fact that the truth resumed to receive the recognition of the heavens after the unification of the earth.
And because of such historical factors, the Unified Monarch, as well as the emperors, was also a place to find and perform service ceremonies when they were bored. For some reason, there were a lot of gateways installed around here and a lot of troops. If the emperor goes to the vicinity of Tai San, it is because of consideration so as not to cause him any trouble.
'It's convenient that there are few bandits.'
On my way to Taisan, I met a bandit just once.
"Gimme... the money."
At least for a few days, there were three thieves from the firefighters who seemed to starve. They were so thin that they could see their breasts and their sinners' bones, and when I asked them to pay me with their trembling hands, I could feel the laughter in vain. These people will not be able to do anything about it.
"Take this."
"......?!"
I felt so sorry for them that I didn't even want to kill them, so I just gave them forty pieces of silver. When they were unexpectedly surprised by the money, I even gave them a free pore treatment. As the jaundiced man's body recovered, they bowed to me.
"Oh dear... You're a hero of the Moorish... Thank you so much."
I have acknowledged them because I have been able to distinguish between a murderous and a living thief with a long expression and Muslim life. Those who became thieves because they really had nothing to live for, life itself was hell. It makes me uncomfortable to hit him.
I told them.
"How did you end up living like a thief? This area is so liveable."
"Oh dear... Don't say that."
A middle-aged money thief shed tears.
"The fireworks and nobles plunder without ceasing, and the earth's holders take everything they harvest. If there is a strange girl, she is forcibly taken as a concubine. I couldn't live with myself, so I went out into the mountains."
"......"
It was not new, because I have seen, seen and will see all my life. The robbing of the powerless was not something that an individual could change. Even if I beat up all the ducks nearby, someone else will take the spot and plunder it.
However, there was a question in my head.
What is a peaceful world? '
Even in peace, there is a distinction between the strong and the weak. Pharmacy is the law of the world and the truth. Even if I defeat the Ambush, drive out the foreign nationals, and defeat the ambassador of the foreign world, that doesn't change. Cruel anthropomorphism and sacrifice can stop, but as a result, the total amount of misery that fills the heavens and the earth is no different.
In fact, a scout duck would feel 100 times worse than an ambush or a magic potion that would be untouched by a rogue from the Currency People. Humans could be cruel to humans, even if they had no magic.
I thought about it for a while and said,
"Very well. I'll be going, then."
I decided not to do anything. I blame it on being useless and annoying later, but I don't like it. If I were a free man, it would be possible to sneak up on three or four ducks, but the main thing is that I also don't want to. In the end, unless you change the top, the bottom will rot for the rest of your life.
I walked through the gate for a long time. The Gateway Soldier glanced at me and said.
"A child travels alone?"
"Yes."
"Not necessarily, but no one will care if you die around here."
"Yes."
"Yes, pass."
The Gateway Soldier just wanted to get away. I glanced at the soldier and asked.
"I'm sorry, but how far is it from here?"
"Huh? Are you going there? Why?"
"I'm looking for someone I know there."
The Gateway soldier frowns.
"I heard it's a poor canyon town where the Cheongmin (+36068; ) live, but I didn't mean to go to that canyon... Knng."
"Cheonmin?"
"Yes, it's an impoverished wall. Instead of going there, you must be beggars in a big city to avoid starving to death."
"......"
It looked serious enough to say that. If the Gateway Soldier was worried enough, he must have been really poor. I once again asked the passerby for directions, and soon I was able to walk about a hundred leagues to the entrance of the seven-year-old village.
Seven-year-old village was a village of thugs in a canyon just off of Taesan. That's why it looks more like a slate shack than a village. The villagers were all fools, not the right shape, so it was like an open stronghold.
"What the...? '
It's true that the heavenly population is at the bottom of the social class, but I didn't expect it to be this ugly. It seemed like they were dying of hunger together.
The funny thing was that the eyes of the seven-year-old villagers were clear because they were full of Qi. I felt like I was seeing a rigorous nausea, even before I starved to death. As I looked around the seven-year-old village for a long time, an old man pointed his staff at me and said,
"Sweetheart... what are you doing here?"
I saw him once. The old man seemed to have not arrived yet, given the speed. I slowly showed the old man the black scepter.
"I heard you could bring this..."
"Oh… oh… oh…!!"
The straw on the cane surprised the old man. Then he looks around the villagers and shouts.
"Hey... Here comes the Faithful!! Welcome them all."
"Oh…!!"
Then, the villagers who were living in the village, who had sinned, all came together and danced strangely together, both men and women. I couldn't believe the way he danced with clapping his hands in tune.
"Hey-hey-hey-hey-hey-heh."
Even
"Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!"
"......"
I had to sit in their den and watch them dance for as long as I could. There was also a movement of lifting and lifting the butt.
It was funny and fun, so I wanted to see what was going on. As I hold back my laughter and wriggle, after a long time of dancing, the old man with the cane said seriously.
"Believers, I don't care where you got your necklace or who you got it from... As long as you have your necklace, we will do our best to guide you to God..."
It's turned into something respectful. For the people of the seven-year-old village, the client, called a "believer," seemed to be respectable in itself.
"So what do I do now?"
"You can go under that tree..."
I listened to him and went under a strange tree in the center of the seven-year-old village.
The tree was strangely completely white. White tree trunks were stained with white leaves, even nearby ground. I looked around for bugs, but even the bugs didn't stick to the white trees. This strange white wood was the first time I had seen it in my life.
Standing under the white wood, I suddenly felt the vibrations of heaven and earth.
Drodded
Dedd....
"......?!"
It looked like there was an earthquake in heaven and earth, but it wasn't. The villagers seem to be in one piece, shaking only where I stand. More precisely, my space itself seemed to shake.
After a while, flashes of light spread out in front of your eyes.
Pa -!!
"Ow."
I screamed. It was because it fell suddenly out of the air into the jungle. I quickly stabilized myself on the trees in the forest and began to slide back on the leaves. Qi was then shed on the toes to strengthen the strength.
I climbed up the trunk of the tree, but I was stunned.
'What a big tree!'
This forest tree was not normal. It was so tall that I could fit ten chapters all the way to the bottom. Even thicker, there were no forests like this I know of. Moreover, the tree seemed strange because every single word of the tree had a strange leaf.
Something's wrong. I slowly climb down the tree to the ground, feeling that I've come to a strange place somewhere. As you descend to the ground, the shivering earth forms the foundation of the forest, and leaves of queer smells fall everywhere.
* Cough *
You hear a strange beast crying. I have felt strange discomfort and heterogeneity captivate my body since I first entered this forest. This place was captivated by something, and I felt this frenzy somewhere.
What the hell is this place...? '
And why did I suddenly go to this weird place when I was underneath the white wood?
I didn't understand it, but I heard something after a while.
[Come here...]
That voice was the first I heard in my life, and it was different from any language I had ever heard. I could not interpret it, but only the will was conveyed to me. It also had a strange power to daze people and instinctively understood where to come from.
'Ugh, let's go.'
I walked away with a rotten look on my face. This forest was not a place where people couldn't move if the unpleasantness had subsided. While walking for a long time, I could feel the beast's gaze, and the beast flapped its wings in front of me.
* Cough *
He had a human face and limb on his dull skin. However, the bat's wings were raised and had horns on its head. Surprisingly, he had a face, but no eyewear and a spike all over his tail. I cried out because I had never seen such a bitter creature.
"Hmmm..."
So this is a creature that can emerge naturally? What do you mean, a bat-like creature without necessities? However, the faceless bat monster did not seem so hostile to me, and soon turned his back and flew somewhere.
I kept walking.
And I was able to arrive at the source of [Call].
"......!!"
Something enormous was abolished. All I can say is that a tentacle with black bat wings lies in the middle of a huge canyon, much larger than dozens of pages in size.
The tentacles hung on their bodies like the breasts of a woman. And that giant tentacle breast, that faceless bat you saw earlier, was sucking like a baby.
The tentacle block had no eyes, but it felt like I was looking this way. Some of the flying bat monsters flew near me and went back.
This overwhelming and twisted landscape!
It was only then that I realized this was the land of the two tribes, and looked up at the black sky.
There was a distorted yellow moon.
This... this place...
I realized where I came from and was desperate.
Amcheon Township!
I came to a place with a scent of rock and was [summoned] by the presence in front of me.
To a tentacle with black bat wings!
Even the fresh ones suddenly came to the land of nightmares that they were afraid to come.
The tentacles of the bat wings spoke to me willingly as I darkened in front of my eyes because I wanted to die again.
[Welcome... to the land of the dreamers...]
Kugong
At that moment, I felt a tremendous amount of pressure and presence crushing my head. It was a tremendous power that I could never feel when I was fighting the magic. I felt like my nerve cord would burst because of the tension to process that I didn't even feel when I stood in front of the magician. It just didn't feel contaminated or crazy, and I could immediately tell that the tentacle mass in front of my eyes was [Great Being].
I thought hard in my mind just in case.
[Are you an old ruler?]
Then the presence in front of me replied.
[That's what humans call us... I am & ^ % * @.]
It was a strange name.I can't read it in the Middle School way. God is at the top of the pagan tribe, so maybe that's why.
I was certain that the presence in front of me was an [old ruler]. And I felt strange. According to the telepathic words, it was almost natural for ordinary humans to go mad just by standing in front of the old ruler because of their terrifying magical power. Even though he was a shaman, an apothecary, or a master of extreme mental strength, he sat down in horror. But I was just a little irritated and not hurt.
And the old tentacle ball ruler in front of him seemed to find that strange. I felt like he was smiling somehow.
[Strange…]
"......?"
[You can't be human... I feel very close... that's all...]
I didn't know what the presence in front of me was talking about. Obviously, [former ruler] is an envoy with enormous magical power that can destroy even the great freshmen, and humans treat them like bugs. However, the presence in front of me at least regarded me as a contact and seemed to have a liking.
Is it because you brought the Black Plank? '
I thought so.
As I stare at him silently, the old ruler thumps his bat wings.
[Tell me... by the power vested in me... I give you one right... to turn life into death... into life... no one... can escape this power...]
The power of inversion?
I pondered what that meant and realized that he had the power to turn everything upside down. For the second time, if it were possible, the meaning of the word "dawn" would be hidden.
I thought about it after a while.
"Kill the Emperor."
[Do you... want to kill him... Fine...]
The tentacles protrude from the body of the old ruler, and you see a void. Then something like smoke came out of the air. The smoke seems to be swallowed up by the old ruler and swallowed up by the tentacles.
And he said,
[Killed...]
"......"
Is it over?
I look at him confused, and then I hear a smile.
[Come again next time... you... are very interesting...]
Pa!
The flash flashes again, and when I came to my senses, I was standing under that white log earlier. Then the people of the village of 7 years old who were gathered around were surprised.
"Oh, no?!"
"Alive...!!"
They seemed really surprised. I frowned at their reactions.
'It was natural to die.'
Go to the old ruler in Amcheon and get caught up in madness, then designate one target you really want to defeat. And then maybe he got caught by the tentacles of an old ruler or he died. No matter how fortunate he was, he would have wandered off into another land with a rocky scent.
That was the quest for the Black Tree Board.
The quest success rate will only be 10 days. What is wrong with an old ruler exercising his own power?
Yep.
I ran straight up and grabbed the old man by the neck with a cane straw that looked like the chief. Then he stared intensely.
"You were servants of the old master. So it was your job to draw the humans in and send them to the Rock Cemetery."
"Ugh, ugh, ugh..."
"You saved my life and this is how you repay me? You're not even human."
Kung
I threw the old man on the ground, and a man from the village next to me said,
"Then what am I supposed to do?! We must rely on him for the rest of our lives, or we must go to the outside world and save the faithful. Only those who save the faithful can escape."
"Huh?"
"Everyone else who escaped the village was killed by the curse of the gods. Do you think it is our will to live as the people of Heaven?!"
I bluntly asked.
"How did you 'deal' with the returnees from the Rock Census?"
"......"
"There can be no cost. Don't you think?"
I stared at them.
They may have sinned together, but their bodies are full of life. He didn't look hungry or tired. It was definitely the life force of an old ruler in exchange for serving as a servant.
I drew my sword and pointed it at them.
"I can kill you all in 30 seconds. Tell me what you did before I left."
The seven-year-old villagers murmured.
"Stop it. I'll answer that because I'm the chief."
The chief's straw was powerless when he fell to the ground.
"You ate."
"You ate?"
"Because our bodies are already like this."
Glug glug
"......!!"
Shortly after, the chief's head and body turned into a foreign being. It was the look of a person with a fucking head. It was just that his body was very strong and strong. I was surprised and looked around, and the other villagers turned into one or two individuals.
The chief said when I lost my words.
[We were human when we were young, but as we grew older, we became retractors.] We live much longer and have a stronger body than humans, and we don't lose our health easily even when we lack food. We are volunteers to serve him.]
"Crazy..."
I felt the world go mad. I never thought I'd be so close to the old ruler, and even the factions that serve him would be different.
[Whoever wishes for him will not live long because he is mad anyway. We just cut off the lives of the faithful without pain and take care of the flesh.]
"You guys are crazy."
Then the chief said as if he was sad.
[Of course I'm crazy. We are originally foreigners who cannot live on this earth. We are always sad because we vaguely hold human values and ways of thinking.]
"Sad? Is that something a monster like you can say?"
[Monster... If we're monsters, what are you?]
Followed by the chief's words, my face became stiff.
[Even the fresh ones go mad when they face our gods. Our God is the most exalted of [old] people. What are you, a man who came back from the dead with his magic?]
"......"
[Kill it or kill it. It's easier for us too.]
They seemed to sense how strong I was, like they had strong flesh and strength. The retractors surrounding me were bowing their heads as if awaiting death. I hold up my sword, thumping and muttering.
"Fuck!"
Shuck
I rushed in and slaughtered all the seven-year-old villagers. You quickly blow your head off in a fistfight without making it as cruel as subjugating pirates. They resigned to life and died like sheep. Perhaps they were bored with their own lives, unlike humans.
I breathed after finishing the slaughter. Then he muttered.
"Damn it..."
I can't let the people of Seven-year-old Village stand idly by. They would have continued to produce innocent victims and will continue to produce innocent victims. But to think of them as villains and to kill them, they were also victims of evil gods' enslavement. That's why I feel frustrated after killing them all.
I shaved my head and moved.
'I will never use this place again.'
What do you do if you can kill one person?
The old ruler's face drives him mad. Somehow I wasn't crazy or anything, but I don't want to go.
I decided to make a move to see if [Emperor] was dead or not.
Pa 'at
It was when I went to the telescopes with a flashlight.
The retinue sits on an oscillating tune, contemplating something. He looked at me with his eyes as I appeared in front of the house.
"There you are."
"What makes you think that?"
"No... the heavenly body is twisted..."
Celestial?
When I tilted my head, I spoke in a voice filled with anxiety.
"There is no way a giant fell. By someone's power, you killed the undead. I've been thinking about it since none of this ever happened. Perhaps every magician or astronomer on the continent is concerned."
It seemed to be the death of the emperor among the white walkers.
"This happened."
I told Leng what I had experienced in the Seven-year-old village and commissioned the Emperor's death.
Then, the face of the telescopes became white.
"Oh my... you've come back to life praying to an old ruler who lives in a tomb?!" Are you kidding me? "
"I'm not kidding."
"......!!"
He suddenly ran under the tree and vomited. After barfing for a long time, he returned with a better look. He said calmly.
"I'm sorry. I was so shocked that I almost passed out."
"What are you so surprised about?"
"The Devil's Trap, like you, has been around for quite some time, but he who returns in one piece... and is favored by the old ruler, will have no part in human history." I can't even do that to a goddess. "
Seeing that, I was strangely surprised when I was in front of the old master that she didn't show up. When I asked him about it, he answered.
"Of course. The fragrance of the rocks is completely separate from this world. She can't penetrate the level of the wall with her power, so she can't respond to the summons. In addition, I know that defending the wall at that level is also [Old Ruler]."
"......"
I thought it was a big deal. One of the seven was definitely in the crescent, so I was going to raise my strength someday to find it. However, if I can't summon Lady Dongbin from the carcass scent, my chances of risk increase enormously.
I scratched my head because I felt like I was getting more difficult in many ways.
"Anyway, aren't you glad the Emperor is dead?"
"... it's not going to be that easy."
The network mutters in vain.
"If you say so, the emperor will never be the master of this..."
It was the next day that the message of mass was proved.
