"......."
I looked at my son for a while.
There was silence.
Ubourca's fangs, which she brushes every day with errors, were white. Evening sunset stood between his son's teeth.
“Ubourca.”
I told you.
Because there was already silence before, my voice continued endlessly.
“If I send you, you will go to the deceased as a messenger advocating surrender. You know what that means, right? ”
Ubrica smiles small.
“I know. I know what my father knows, and I know what worries me. Nevertheless, I also know that my father has no choice but to grant me permission. Send it.”
“Oh, my God. There won't be a single crook like you... ”
“Ugor. Can such a modifier be attached to the word 'saint'? ”
“What's not to like? Break the frame of common sense, son. Language is what we make. ”
Our rich man's words were on the way to this evening's play.
“…… wait. Guys, what the hell are you doing with the shovels? ”
[Assistant] said.
Listening to our conversation next to you makes me feel like I lost my mind.
“Well, language is exactly what we're building. It is a trap for a writer to avoid the essence of being caught in the spirit of language. So if I say something wrong with the grammar, I'm not wrong. The grammar didn't catch up with me. ”
“Thank you for agreeing, Assistant Director. You're right.”
“But throw it away and feed it to the dogs. You're sending a lion over there? Uh, so, your..."
“It's a son, Wuger. ”
“... Yes. I won't ask you how you made a son of an Ogre-like species. Be careful not to push your foot into complex households, but it's likely to be tangled like a wire behind a computer's body. So if you just tell me what you're trying to do... you're going to send your son into the middle of the enemy? ”
“Yes."
“Danger!”
[Assistant] frowns. I frowned, following the eyeglasses.
“No. Can't you see what's happening? Over there, Tower One is calling for a finale. The captain's son is a hostage in a situation like that. And they're like," Oh, come and sit down, have a cup of tea, and if you do, be careful on the stairs when you leave. "Or do you think they're going to try to capture the son of the evil death lord as a prisoner? ”
The parable of Hamustra's apostle, however, was also opposed by other demi-magic Hunters.
“The assistants are right.... No, I don't know if it's true or not, but it's annoying because I don't know what a money dungeon is, so let's just say it is. The important thing is we already gave him a chance. ”
“You gave me so much! They're the ones who insist on not surrendering! The Four Kings. Your mercy has been trampled on with their clay feet. Give the order to attack now. The warriors of Mahos will lead the way and wipe out the steeple. ”
“... It's too much to kill all the spiders. Well, wouldn't that be a sacrifice? ”
Apostle of [Berserker], [Warrior of the Eternal Plains], Apostle of [Incarnate of Love and Desire]. Each of them gave a different explanation, but it was almost as if it was a fake fire.
They wanted a massacre.
"......."
That's why I'm in trouble.
[I couldn't help but admit to the massacre.]
[I couldn't help but agree that the parties wanted me to.]
"I betrayed the five guild leaders who recognized me as a leader. ’
I promised my friends a new era.
They are still protecting our strongholds, working for the lives of ordinary citizens, for safety.
So they're not here right now, but the truth is, they're as obvious as the people behind them.
"......."
Suddenly, all the commanders around were staring at me.
After all, I was the one in charge here.
I glanced up at the sky.
“It's evening. ”
There were frequent clouds in the sky on the 50th floor. The sunset is bleeding in a very slightly empty crevice.
Maybe it'll turn black soon.
It's been a long night.
“Until dawn breaks out of the city. ”
I looked at the tower.
“That is the time allowed for them. ”
And I looked at Ubrica.
“Therefore it is the deadline allowed for [you]. ”
Therefore, it is the deadline allowed for me, and I did not add that it is the deadline allowed for us.
I did not say that I will bear the consequences of any negotiations you will have in my absence, or the consequences of the breakup of negotiations. Nevertheless, if I were to send you, it would not be necessary to say that I would bear the responsibility of that failure, even if you fail.
It wasn't because all the demigods were eavesdropping on our conversations. It wasn't because the first branch of the tower would be listening to this conversation somehow.
Because Ubrica has already said so. I know what I know, I know what I'm worried about.
Nevertheless, I already know that I will be forced to grant my request.
Yes, I know.
We didn't need to add verses to what we all knew.
I just said.
"Son."
I shaken my head and said again.
“President.”
Ubrica tightens her head.
I tapped the firm, wide brow with the back of my hand.
“You can do it, you have to do it, you have to do what you want. ”
“Take orders from the housekeeper. ”
The four kings' president replied.
6.
“One night.”
I told the apostles.
“Until dawn. Until dawn. Anything is fine."
"......."
“I know you've been waiting a thousand years. So I know how inconvenient it is to ask you to wait a little longer."
And I shrunk my head.
Deep enough that your forehead touches the ground.
“Nevertheless, people, Can you do me a favor? ”
“Oh, no. ”
The apostles were embarrassed.
“Wait, Four Kings. Until you shrug your head... ”
“That's right! If it wasn't for you, we would have built the Lifetime Tower.... ”
There were those who shouted and held their mouths shut.
Of course, there were those who couldn't help but breathe.
"Hmm."
"Hmm."
But even the most violent of them did not oppose it.
The apostles who had clarified their opinions looking at each other opened their mouths one by one.
“Good. One night, maybe. ”
“The thousand years of the Thousand Horse Tower will only be a little longer.... that's good. ”
“Even if you had a thousand more nights, a thousand more years, and not one night, those first tower bastards wouldn't flip over."
Okay. Okay.
“Thank you."
Agreed.
I stood up and looked back at Ubrica.
“What are you doing? Don't go in there. ”
“When the sky is bright, I'll stand at the forefront and rip the last of the spider webs from the tower. I'll try to persuade you in a second." "
“Respect.”
Ubrica bows her head deeply.
And he couldn't even stop it, and Ubrica ran.
Yes, it was.
if you see that it was a "run" that jumped hundreds of meters in one step.
Kuaang!
The entrance to the spire has burst. Boom! Kwung! Dozens of walls, hundreds of magically protected gates were torn apart. From the top of the spy tower, a warning has been sounded. In fact, screams have been heard inside the spire since before the alarm went off.
- Incoming! Enemies!
- What, what? Who is it? What happened?
I am the son of the king! I'm here to talk to you!
- What the hell, man?
The Four Kings? Why did you give me the Seed? You don't look like him!
- Why the fuck is he banging on the door?
- Hahahaha! Conversation is a privilege only for those with power. If a weak man asked you to talk, you wouldn't listen. I know, I know. So I'm going to prove my power to you first!
- What do you know? Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait, wait! This is really not a joke...
Requesting backup! Our allies are being wiped out...!
Kuang.
The iron gate of the spire closes again after someone screams. It seemed to have prepared a reserve door in case it was broken through.
You're all set.
Who in the universe would prepare for the existence of Ubrica?
"......."
The apostles of this camp are surrounded by silence.
“Eh……."
[Assistant] barely speaks.
“That's quite a personality you're not asking to surrender...? ”
“You're not wrong. If you don't have the strength, you won't listen to me. ”
“It makes perfect sense that you are his father and that he is your son. My heart is just a bun. ”
“Though my heart is much better-looking. ”
“Huh?"
“Yes?”
It's nightfall.
It was a Obsidian spire. As darkness grows in the darkness, the tower is calm enough to really want to be there. It was just quiet.
As if the first appearance of Ubrica had been a shambles.
You hear no voices, no footsteps.
"......."
Time has passed.
I meditated with a crown on the bare ground. The apothecary scolded you not to rely too much on error, but now it was time to accumulate the error through weather breaks.
Nobody messed with me when I was alone in meditation.
The common believers were frightened by the processing power I showed them ten days ago. The apostles cared about me and left me alone.
Now I was a father who left his son in the middle of nowhere.
“Aren't you worried? ”
Only the ‘grey spider’, who didn't feel the need to care about me, spoke.
She comes up on crutches. Heave-ho, heave-ho, he sat down next to me.
“Damn. I've been thinking about living like this for a while. ”
“You've recovered some of your magic, haven't you? ”
“Recovering. But if you bring Hiller back with you, you're gonna think he's dead. Ha! I'll kill you with one stroke of my hand. I don't know how long he's been pissing on me like that. ”
The gray spider grumbles.
“Are all of you from around the world cheap? One thing at a time... ”
“But why is that? ”
“Huh? What? ”
“You said you thought magic would kill you. Why are you preparing to use magic? ”
The gray spider sighs.
Far away, the three hundred torches shook. However, the eyes of the gray spider did not look toward it.
I just look at the first tower standing still.
“You will soon. ”
“I thought you said you were a duel participant, and that you were inclined to lose? ”
“Convince me. But we can't just watch them die. ”
The gray spider said in vain.
“I don't know what to do. I have to die with you. ”
“There's loyalty. ”
I circulated the error slowly, all over my body.
“It was Charmu. The one who escaped the tower with me. I didn't think it was because he was so fiercely stabbed in his supervisor, and showed the League of Legends Nagas how well it would work. ”
“What is the League of Legends? ”
“I have a classic game. And don't talk back. ”
“Everyone has a little something special. ”
The voice of the gray spider was still hollow.
Then, clean, I looked at the three hundred torches and the army of apostles surrounding the First Horse Tower.
“Of course, there are more people who are not special at all. ”
“So, honey, I'll leave you to it.] What a load of crap. If you want to be immersed in moral superiority, you can do whatever you want, but if you're gonna do it, do it to those bastards. ”
The gray spider sighs. The sigh was deep and dark as if it had been poisoned.
“That's funny. [Denounce the steeple.] [Commemorate those who died under the tyranny of the tower.] [So we are innocent victims...]] Oh, dear. Aren't you a bunch of crazy assholes? ”
And it was hot as a stretch.
“Come 50 floors and think about what happened to them. It doesn't matter what they did downstairs or what they did. No, I'm sure you don't even remember. Even if there were a few of them who remembered, they would all be self-rationalizing in the same way [I was against it]. Scumbags. ”
The gray spider speaks quieter than the burning flame.
“The subject of false gods. ”
I didn't answer.
The gray spider takes a deep breath and exhales.
“Bastards... Justice, Greater Justice, Memorial and all that, but he's just rationalizing his feelings from beginning to end. Well, that's the basic principle of a cult, isn't it, depending on the circumstances of that day? ”
The night air was no longer cold.
This night was scorched by the fury of the apostles' army and stretched out by the hatred of the gray spiders.
The gray spider speaks with malice and contempt.
“So the Four Kings. The first tower, my sisters who stepped on the 50th floor at my time. You will never surrender. Lie down flat in front of an open chest with the bastards of the false gods in awe?... I'd rather die. Wouldn't you?”
I told you.
“That's why you're going to fight. ”
“Wouldn't that be so? As a result, they'll probably all die. Or worse. ”
A fever broke out from the voice of the gray spider.
So she said again in vain.
“Isn't that the rationality? I'm sure he'd say that, but I'd like to push 200 times. Isn't that right, king? ”
7.
I made a bitter smile.
“I will not comment on your comments. ”
“Yes. Don't tell me. Why did you sit down with this son of a bitch as a lion? ”
“Curious?”
“Rather than curious, I feel dirty. I'm sitting here, trembling, and my stomach is upside down. ”
The gray spider narrows its glabella. I was angry, too.
“Look, you're no better than the swordsman. The ones who scream" up, up, up, "but who are left there and trembling are just the ones who want to be with you. If you were worried about him, you should have stopped him.”
“Don't worry. ”
I told you.
“I'm not worried about my son. ”
"......."
“I told you Ubrica would persuade me, and I told you that I would. It's not silly. You may not know it, but Ubrica was a loser on one continent's knees. I am confident that the young girl of the age will do it. I never doubted my son. ”
The static flowed.
The gray witch calmly closed her eyes and said.
“How can you be so sure? ”
The gray witch still does not open her eyes, but mutters nonetheless.
“You can't convince him? I just told you. I'd rather be dead or worse. I can't surrender. I don't, because,”
“Because we were on the same page. ”
The gray witch stops.
Slowly, she opens her eyes.
“What do you mean, you were on the same page? ”
“Ubrica. The Ubricans. ”
“Why is that... ”
“They also lived as slaves of other races. I was once a god or a god. ”
I told you.
“And they walked a different path from you. The way you can't imagine. That's the kind of road you can turn your back on. Ubrica will tell you, and she will tell you...... and she will show you that there may be [another world]. ”
"......."
“Only someone born in the same place, but who walks a different path, can persuade someone. ”
I did not look at the gray spider. I looked at the sky above, an army of 300.
“So, I'm sure my son will be able to subdue your men."
Gradually, the dawn begins to rise.
