The Live

The reason Arhan was able to learn about the Holy Grail in the temple room was because of the key that was with him.

If it weren't for him, the first generation of people, including Arhan, would not be able to read the letters.

Yoon Jae was surprised at the fact that there was a key besides himself.

“The key... isn't one key?" ”

“No, there's only one key. If you'd read the records, you'd know. ”

Yoon Jae nods at Arhan's question.

According to the information written in the text in the room, there was only one key. One for humans, one for demons, one for angels.

There was no record of multiple keys.

“Then what the hell happened? ”

“At least at this point, one key is correct. ”

Arhan's voice echoes with bitterness.

And in response, Yoon Jae and Elvin learned a secret of the past.

“The key……. ”

“Looks like he's dead. ”

It was Elvin who said that.

Arhan nods. He turns his head back and looks up at the sky above the open ceiling.

“Dead. In the hands of demons. ”

“ ……. ”

“They were after our key. We couldn't stop them. It was wrong to think that knowing the existence of the key would somehow make him stronger. The existence of the key was exposed too early. ”

The key has become a target.

The outside world was a war zone centered on the Holy Grail.

And the key is the key to getting the Holy Grail.

As it was exposed, the demons immediately reached out to kill the human key.

“The key is dead, and we are desperate. There's no turning back. Of course, I didn't give up right away. As soon as one of us showed up, we thought there might be another key. ”

“Did you show up?”

“No. There were no keys among the next generation. And then after that, so did I. ”

They did not abandon expectations.

Dead keys. Expect the next one to come.

However, the expectation fell gradually over time as the following people came in.

I gradually cracked into a solid tower, and my mind became broken. If the key doesn't appear forever, there's no way for them to get the Holy Grail.

“Over time, we gave up the appearance of another key in our minds. And I've been hiding that from you forever. ”

“Why did you hide it? ”

“I wonder if they're as desperate as us. ”

Arhan picks up another bottle of beer that he left on the table.

And without even thinking about cooling down the drink, I opened the lid and asked.

“The hope that we can go back. Do you have any idea how crazy this world would be if it disappeared? ”

“ ……. ”

Yoon Jae closed his eyes for a moment and painted the world as Arhan had said.

There is no going back. It meant I had to live in this world for the rest of my life.

Man cannot live without hope. And quite a lot of those living in the other world had hope of returning to their original world.

Elvin, Royce, and the regulars were right next door without going far.

It's horrible.

There will be those who go crazy, saying that there is no hope to live any longer. That was all they had.

“So... you kept it a secret?" ”

“I thought it was for the best. ”

Gulp -

Arhan, who had a sip of beer, wiped the warm lather off his mouth.

“That was the best we could do. Doing nothing. Nothing to say. And…… to keep the world from going crazy, to create order. ”

“That's what the Five Clans are made of. ”

“That's where people live. There is order in the face of great power. Of course, that great power can sometimes disorient order. ”

“You mean the Murder Clan? ”

“Yes. Emily, she was a bit unusual among us. ”

Murder Clan Master, Emily.

She was also one of the first generation. He was also a man who knew the secret to the key and the death of the key.

She was unlike other first-generation people who set up other clans, including the Five Clans, to create order in the world behind them.

It seemed like she had a clan, too.

But she has created a Murderer clan that draws others from the other side of the world, those who are as crazy about killing as herself, and destroys order on the contrary.

No one knew her intentions. Emily went underground with the creation of the clan.

“A group of homicidal maniacs. Criminals were united, so it was easy to keep an eye on them. ”

The Murder Clan was a necessary evil.

A vicious group of murderous criminals in league.

But as they clumped together, there was an effect of separating the garbage.

“We were positive. I thought the reason she created the Murder Clan was a way for another order. Because the results weren't actually that bad. ”

Murderer was originally Arhan's idea of the clan.

But it was recent that a change occurred to that idea.

“I never thought we'd be working with the demons. ”

My bitter voice smells of alcohol.

Yoon Jae felt sadness in his face. It looks pathetic to take liquor back into your mouth.

Did you think we were friends? ’

The first ten people to go to the other side.

Perhaps they relied on each other quite a lot. A colleague or a friend. Maybe he felt something more than that.

Master of the Murderer Clan.

After becoming the leader of the homicidal maniacs, Arhan trusted her. But that belief has been broken by recent dealings with demons.

‘The eleven thousand moved... Is that why?' ’

Hundreds of thousands, masters of the White Top Clan, were just like the first generation of Arhan.

Nor has he been inactive for a long time.

The reason why he first appeared in the war against the Murder Clan was because he was related to Emily, a member of the same generation.

“It's complicated.”

I didn't feel right in my head the whole time I was listening to the story.

One generation of people, including Arhan.

The secret they were hiding was too big a story for them to hear and understand immediately. Only they will know what they have lived for.

“Yeah, it's complicated. After all, she has become the leader of criminals. ”

“What are you going to do now? ”

“Let's go back to the way things were. There's no more reason to hide. There's no reason for us to stop. ”

I'm going back.

The word implied little. The time it took for the words to come out and complex thoughts could not be expressed in words.

Generation 1.

They start the activity again.

It was an upside down change in the whole inner world. The largest giants in the world began to move.

“For the first time, I like you. ”

Elvin smiles at you.

He picks up a bottle of beer piled up on the table and pushes it out in front of Arhan.

Arhan glances at the bottle and asks.

“What? A toast to reconciliation? ”

“When did we ever fight? Like I said, I hated you unilaterally. ”

“Then?”

“It's just, I don't think I'd hate you for this. ”

“I see.”

Tak -

Arhan smiles bloody and puts the bottle in his hand in the corner of the table.

Then Elvin, who held his hand and offered him a toast, asked.

“What is it?”

“Before we toast, I have an order. ”

“Sequence?”

“Yes."

Fireworks -

Kung-!

Arhan slams his head hard enough to thump on the center table, just sitting there.

Put your hands together on your knees and bow your head before them, Yoon Jae, Elvin, and the two of you.

Arhan said without lifting his head down on the table.

“I'm sorry.”

“ ……. ”

It was a plain apology.

However, I could not understand how deep the emotional goal was. It contained all the sincerity in one word of apology.

Arhan was not only apologizing to Yoon Jae and Elvin at the moment.

Them, all of them.

He apologizes for his sins for deceiving everyone, even though it was for the sake of others.

Arhan felt guilty about his colleague's first key dying and hiding it all this time.

And the key was thought to be the fault of itself and the people of the first generation.

“Why are you apologizing? ”

Elvin asked as if he didn't know.

Arhan answered the question without hesitation.

“For whatever reason, we have deceived many people. We gave them false hope as an excuse to do as we please. ”

After talking about it, Arhan raises his head and looks back at Yoon Jae.

“Well, this guy shows up, it doesn't mean anything anymore. ”

The truth they were hiding was the existence of the key and his death.

But as soon as a new key appeared, the secret became meaningless.

An unexpected apology, Yoon Jae expressing an embarrassed expression for a moment, shaking his head.

“You don't have to apologize to me. ”

“Likewise. I have no reason to apologize either. ”

After Yoon Jae, Elvin replied with a handsome face, avoiding Arhan's gaze.

“It's not bad as a result. Because if you'd known you couldn't go back, me and Lois and a lot of other people wouldn't be here right now. ”

“I'm glad you think so. ”

Arhan smiles lightly and raises the bottle back.

“Then I'll take good care of you. Oh, are you interested in the clan seat? If so, give it to me.”

“I'm not interested. ”

“Really? I'm sorry to hear that. ”

“Didn't you just say you were going to be active again? ”

“That and this are separate. Why aren't you picking up? ”

Arhan turned to Yoon Jae and asked.

Yoon Jae answered, lifting the empty bottle.

“There's no more booze left. ”

“Pick up an empty bottle. Feel me.”

According to Arhan, Yoon Jae nods with a small smile.

“Sure."

“Then……. ”

Wh-!

The bottle in the middle was held by three people.

“I'll take good care of you. ”

* * *

“The clan leader is moving again? ”

“Other first-generation people will be the same. ”

“It's bigger than I thought. ”

After meeting with Arhan, Lois looks a little surprised at Elvin's story.

I thought the first-generation people, including Arhan, had something to hide.

And they knew it was related to the danger zone they were in.

But the secret was bigger than they thought. If this had been known, the whole world would have turned upside down.

“I'm glad to hear that. I did something bad with that clan guy. ”

“He was a complete stranger. ”

In a formal statement, Royse spoke about the Arhan she was thinking about.

Unknown person.

There was no word like that about Arhan. Not only in Arhan, but most of the first generation, such as Hundred Thousand and Jin-seok Kim.

But there was a reason.

“I don't know what mask you were wearing, but I was worried when you took it off. because you don't know what's going to happen to the first generation or the people, depending on what they're thinking and what they're thinking. ”

“It's not that bad, is it? ”

“Not bad, because they have the same purpose for finding the Holy Grail. At least I've kept my mouth shut for no reason until now. ”

In Royse's reply, the regular person looks relieved and buries himself deep into the chair that was sitting.

“Ha-ha-ha. You're a slut, really. ”

“Are you nervous? ”

“Isn't the golden radish Arhan one of the greatest giants in the world? If he's the enemy, he's never been more tired. ”

“Well, don't worry too much, you're not the enemy after all. ”

“Yes.”

Royse looks back at Yun Jae, who has been distracted from the story for a long time.

“What are you going to do now? ”

“Yes? Me? ”

Yun Jae replied with a small shock when his name was mentioned.

Royse wants to think of something, but doesn't ask.

I almost didn't have to.

“Yes. In the future.... ”

Royse doesn't ask any more questions and pout.

What are you going to do?

Aside from that abstract question, I couldn't ask you any more detail.

The person with the most complex head is Yoon Jae, the party.

Of course, Yoon Jae didn't put it down that much.

even though it couldn't fly.

“I'm just... trying to wrap my mind up. It's actually not a bad thing, so I'm going to take it positively. ”

The fact that you are the key to getting the Holy Grail.

Yoon Jae didn't feel it well. It took me a little longer to do that.

Drum-

Yoon Jae got up from his seat pushing the chair backwards. From the beginning, I was only going to tell Arhan the story.

“I'll go first, then. I'm a little tired.”

“We were just leaving. Everybody up.”

As well as Yoon Jae, everyone else was tired. They came right back from the middle of the country, barely resting, and met Arhan.

After completing the last task, my whole body was exhausted all at once.

‘I thought I'd get some rest now... …. ’

Leaving the room, Yoon Jae looked at his right wrist.

‘This is just the beginning. ’

Start, not end.

Yoon Jae squeezed his open hand.
