Rod said it would take more time for all the demigads to get together. And he ordered the apostles to retreat because they had stories to tell each other.
There was no way I could say no to him. All five Apostles went down to the basement. It was Fray who was in charge. It's only natural that I was here first.
There was a large space in the basement. It was a dull, dirty place, where slaves were originally held. Fray and Ricky didn't even get rid of it because they usually lived up there.
Thanks to it, it even smelled disgusting in unhygienic places.
“ · · · · · ·. ”
However, nothing reveals an unpleasant tint. Even the precious mistress of the Blake family, Lethiazer, pulls out an old chair without much agitation and sticks her furry ass to it.
So do the rest of them. They each went to a corner and sat down.
“There's nothing to eat. ”
It was the devil who opened his mouth. Frey looked at him and said,
“Bread.”
“What do you drink? ”
“Beer.”
“That's good.”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Frey went upstairs to the food warehouse and brought beer and bread to each of them for four servings.
“I don't need it. ”
Only Lethia shook her head and said loudly, and all the rest were paid. Frey didn't eat. I wasn't so hungry, but I didn't want to take my mask off my face.
At the end of a short meal, genta approached Fray, who was sitting in the corner.
“Take off your mask. ”
Fray was not agitated. Rather, it is what I imagined. They must be complaining to Frey, who doesn't reveal himself alone.
“What if I don't?”
Of course, there was no reason to respond. Fray rather provoked him.
“Are you going to take it off by force? ”
“There's no reason not to. ”
“Cut it out.”
That wasn't what Frey said. He was a demon who ate bread badly. He had a red-eyed pupil with no whiteness on his skin, and he was unmasked as if he had no intention of concealing himself.
Genta and Phoenix were still more heterogeneous in their openness, as they tried to eat bread without revealing their faces as much as possible.
“Quit? Aren't you curious about the identity of the interest? ”
“I'm curious, but that's not something we need to find out. ”
“ · · · · · ·. ”
“I can't do anything beyond the subject. Especially in front of Demigad. ”
Genta didn't say anything about it. I just turned around and went back to my place, and I just sat there.
Frey sighs and looks at the demon. He turns his head rather than staring at Frey for a while.
Besides that, there was another look at Frey. Phoenix. She's looking at herself, too. The two eyes crossed once again.
However, the dialogue did not go wrong.
‘It's uncomfortable that I can't even send a telepath. ’
I wonder how she became Agny's apostle and what she's thinking now. One good thing was that there was no slight doubt or hostility in her gaze.
If I hadn't, Frey's identity would have been compromised.
Frey sincerely wished for a reunion with her. I was already in a lot of a twist with the reunion he was thinking about, but I met him again.
For now, I've decided to only mean that fact.
1.
[Let's talk about this.]
The rest of the demigads nodded as Lord spoke.
[The rest are good to go. And Ricky. I just need to talk to you for a second.]
“I understand. ”
You have something to come. Ricky thought so.
The rest of Demigod leaves the room, and Ananta grabs Ricky with a laugh or something. Rod thought he would pay attention to Ricky's attitude in some way.
In the meantime, there were only two left, Lord and Ricky.
Rod gives out his hand lightly.
Ueung
The shields are overlaid. Ricky's face hardened. I felt the strength of the shield. It is so strong that you can't escape if you don't even use your power.
[There is no need to be nervous. Ricky]
Rod said softly. Ricky realizes that a new man is putting his hand on a knife sack.
[I just hope our story doesn't leak out. As you know, Ananta and Nozdog are looking at you badly. I don't think he has any doubts, but he's a very curious friend.]
“ · · · · · ·. ”
Certainly they might try to eavesdrop on this conversation. It must have been impossible for the road to overhang the shield.
“What are you trying to say? ”
[Ricky. My oldest people. It still reminds me of the joy of my first meeting with you.]
It was an outrageous thing to say. However, Rod's voice was so desperate that he couldn't refute it.
Rod was thinking. I don't even remember how long ago. Really old times, when humans and other xenophobics didn't even use the right tools, when dragons were just big monsters, when the topography of the continent was completely different than it is today.
That's when Rod fell out. A small piece, a broken fragment, that fell out of the will of the world. Hundreds of years have passed since it became self-conscious.
In the meantime, Rod realized that he was stronger than anyone and higher than any race. All the races on the continent at that time were so immature.
He was confident that all of them would join forces and win without difficulty. But that did not impress Rod at all. What does it matter? He didn't even know why he had this absolute power.
I have the power to come to the world, but I have no purpose. I didn't even know why I was born, so I just suffered from a dark futility over time.
At that time, the will of the world spit out a piece once again.
[You will not know. The joy I felt when I discovered my own kind.]
I am not alone
Only then did Rod suddenly become motivated to live. You don't have a purpose? Then you can make one. I had the power to break it all.
It wasn't the only one. After Ricky's arrival, the demigads continued to emerge. They are just as confused as themselves. Repeat your concerns and feel the futility you felt.
At that time, Rod realized what his role was.
He was a leader. A leader who would lead a people who did not know how to use this transcendental power. The reason I was conscious before others was because this was a matter for Demi Gad to think about first.
Since then, Rod has been able to lead the demigade brilliantly.
“Why are you bringing it up then? ”
[Ricky. I want to treat other peoples fairly. I'm trying to do that. However, I think it also makes some sense to complain about Nose Dog]
“ · · · · · ·. ”
[As he says, I fall on you. If it were any other demigod, I'd go through a few unforgivable things. Not filling quotas, not managing the country, disregarding my requests, or [· · · ·]
On the face of Rod, who was silent for a while, an eye appeared this time. His eyes faced Ricky.
[Kill the people]
“ · · · · · ·. ”
There was no surprise. Rather, I started to think it was the same thing.
Rod may know he's a traitor. When the five Apocalypses came together, when he offered to take off the mask of Apostle, he came up with the idea.
So I was even more desperate. Frey acted so violently that he didn't understand. I needed to create a situation that was extreme enough to take even the right load off of me.
However, it is clear that if he did so and Rod was comfortable with himself, he would paradoxically know that he was a traitor.
Where did he get it, or how did he know it? I don't know. I won't answer any questions. However, I understand that he was not meticulous. If it was Rod's insight, he would have noticed something strange enough.
Rod's voice sank.
[Killing the people was unforgivable. Ricky]
“I know. ”
[I want to ask. Why did he betray us? You didn't do this before. Have you understood me more than anyone, and sympathized with my will?]
“That's why it's obvious. Rod.”
Ricky looks at the rod with his eyes unshakeable.
“I was wrong then. ”
[So now you're not wrong?]
“Yes."
Rod sighs something similar. His eyes, which were protruding, disappeared again. I know that Rod only reveals his interest when his emotional changes become dramatic. He now once again shudders his heart.
[Maybe it's my fault]
“What?”
[4000 years ago. I think I got into a fight between you and that knight. I've never seen you so angry.]
“ · · · · · ·. ”
It was undeniable. It was at that moment that there was a negative view of Rod in his mind. That was the beginning of everything.
A negative view of Rod changed his way of thinking and led him to question the existence of Demigod. And they started to feel objectionable about what they were doing.
Is it really the right thing to do?
[So, let's say this didn't happen]
“What? ”
That was unexpected. Ricky sends a suspicious gaze. However, it was impossible to read the weight of Rod with a face that did not exist. The only way to get a glimpse of his emotions was with his voice, and now his voice is very flat.
[I will forgive you. Ricky, it's my fault, it's yours.]
“You will forgive me for killing my people? ”
[Yes]
It's a desperate word. Ricky knows that Rod is not idle. The words in my mouth will be genuine.
Rod is really trying to forgive himself for killing his people.
“The other demigods won't tolerate it? ”
[Of course. So it would be a pity, but you have to trick them.]
“You cheat?”
[I promised to find the traitor unconditionally. In fact, no one said that, but Nozdog and Ananta would not be able to convince.]
“No way. ”
Rod laughs. No, I feel like I'm laughing.
[I'll give you the right band. I picked one of the demigads that came here. There will be no doubt, and things will proceed naturally without further ado. There's nothing you need to worry about.]
Ricky momentarily lost his words. He stares at Rod with incredible eyes.
“Do you intend to kill a people who have not sinned? ”
[It's sad. But I can't help it. Because you're more important than that.]
At that moment, Ricky unravels.
‘Is that so?’
I wasn't the only one who had changed over the years. Had it been a road in the past, I would not have made this suggestion. No matter how much he cares about Ricky, he didn't do anything extreme to frame innocent people.
[Of course, I need some scripts to do that]
“ · · · · · ·. ”
[It's no big deal. Kill Apostle yourself.]
“What?”
[Then you'll fall into hibernation. Maybe 100 years. It's not that long for us. You can rest well. In the meantime, I will protect you. When it happens, I promise. There will be nothing left in the world for you to think about.]
· · · · ·.
By falling into hibernation, you can completely dispel the doubts of Ananta and Nose Dog. The script prepared by Rod is probably meticulously planned without even a slice of water. Maybe even demigod will convince you to be a traitor.
[Your band will be ‘Ur’. It'll take a few more days to get here. Kill Apostle right after he comes. I'll take care of the next thing]
Rod rose from his seat.
[This is the whole story. Ricky, remember. Depending on your choice, we can start over. As the ground hardens after rain, it can form a stronger relationship of trust than before.]
He knocks on Ricky's shoulder and leaves the room.
The shield was already gone.
‘· · · · · · Can it change? Not Rod, not Demi Gods? ’
Now that you can change, there is no law against other demigades.
So you don't have to kill them? Can you work with Rod to change the demigod inside?
If that were possible, it would be a much more sensible choice than a foolish way to fight Demygad alone.
"· · · · · ·."
I had a long mind, but it was not an easy question to answer.
Ricky stood there like a nail for a while.
