The Live

242 coins.

The two of them are standing facing each other.

No, one of them wasn't human.

Dragon.

The only species that exists in all dimensions and crosses them.

Yoon Jae said to him.

“It's been a while.”

“I see.”

Ger 'an sat there as always, answering with a quiet voice.

It felt strange.

I learned a lot from him and heard a lot from him. It was because of that that I was able to know the secrets of the holy and other worlds, and I was able to question the world.

“Why did you come to see me today? There's nothing more to learn. ”

As soon as he saw Yoon Jae, he knew.

He had nothing more to learn from himself. Yun Jae has already become stronger than he is.

As long as the monarch has taught himself and is able to use the sculpture, Yoon Jae's enemies will not be much in all dimensions.

“I'm not here to learn anything. ”

Yoon Jae sat in front of the Germans.

“I just wanted to talk to you for a minute. ”

“What story? ”

“You asked me to meet the monarch before, right? ”

“I did.”

“You have revealed to me the secrets of this world. You taught me their teeth as well as dragons. ”

It was not different because Yoon Jae learned the secret about the dragon and the holy gospel.

It's because he heard it.

At first, Yoon Jae doubted his words. It was unbelievable.

To Yun Jae, Geryan advised me to go to the monarch and meet him. Yoon Jae went to Zahar and got an answer.

He also listened to other stories that Germans had not heard.

“Why do you leave them alone? ”

Even though it was the same dragon, Yoon Jae didn't think that Germanic was the enemy.

Because…….

“Aren't you different? ”

He was different from the dragons who created the other side using the Holy Grail.

According to Yun Jae who seemed to know everything, Ger 'an closed his eyes. He thought for a moment and replied.

“No, it's no different. ”

“No, it's different. I heard it all.”

“You heard? To the monarch? ”

“Yes.”

“Surprisingly. He's not much of a talker. ”

What do you mean, not much?

Yoon Jae made a curious face. Over the past few months, Zahar has been relentless when face-to-face with himself.

Surprisingly different from what I had imagined. However, it was quite different from Zahar whom Geryan knew and Zahar whom he knew.

“So? What did you hear? ”

“When the dragon created this world, and when he wanted to take the life of another world as food for this world…… I heard that only two people opposed it. ”

Yoon Jae's eyes widened.

I was surprised. My eyes were shaking well. Gernan, who was surprised for a while, said with a bitter face.

“Me and the Ariane. ”

“The dragons sent you here in the name of keeping you two by the monarchy. by banishing them from their herd. ”

“... Yes, I did. ”

The murmuring face of Geryan darkens. In front of his eyes, I remembered a family member who had made a wrong choice a long time ago.

“Why did you disagree? ”

“Is there a reason? ”

He did not hesitate to answer.

“Because it's wrong. ”

It was so natural.

Create a world and manage it.

It really was God's work.

However, the dragons were clearly the closest parent to God, but they could not technically say God.

They cannot create, they cannot intervene in life, and they cannot live forever.

But the dragons eventually touched the Holy Grail.

Using it, they made their king new, making the impossible possible.

And the price was the sacrifice of the other factions below.

“The Holy Grail was never our property. It's what we used to manage, yes. ”

Geryan begins to reveal a story that only they would know.

“Every time a new master was appointed, we worshipped him as a king and a god. That's what we were. The Holy Grail established its owner in both the world and the dimensions, and naturally we had no choice but to intervene in all the worlds. ”

“But?”

“There was an elderly man called warmth. I don't know if he's still alive. ”

The familiar name was discussed.

Yoon Jae hurriedly said.

“Still alive. Not long ago, the monarch and him met. ”

“Really... are you still alive?" ”

“I see.”

Geryan shakes his head as if expecting it.

“He was the first of his kind to live for more than 10,000 years. One day, around the time when the owner of the Holy Grail was to be appointed...... the old man said. ”

“What did you say? ”

“Shouldn't we choose our master?" ”

Yoon Jae's eyes flashed.

According to the above words, the one who directly intervened in the holy gospel with an autonomous physician and insisted on creating the world for the first time was warmth.

The Germans continue.

“It was the first time we used the power of the Holy Grail ourselves. Unfortunately, there is no king among us. I could build a world using the Holy Grail, but I couldn't be the master of the Holy Grail. ”

“What the hell did you need the Holy Grail for? ”

“It's a common and obvious story. What I wanted to gain through the power of the Holy Grail. What we wanted to make impossible -”

Yun Jae's fury erupts in Geryan's words.

“Eternal life.”

Boom!

I took a roll of my fist on the floor. The temple's solid floor cracks and cracks.

A piece of power felt Yoon Jae's anger and shook the world. It was also related to the power of the Holy Spirit.

“Now…… that…… what the fuck……. ”

Yoon Jae's fist trembled, suppressing his distorted voice in anger.

Soon, Yoon Jae suppressed his anger and said in a calm voice.

“I've heard that dragons live for a thousand, maybe 10,000 years. ”

Guryan could see that the rage he was looking at was ending.

“I did.”

“Humans only live for a hundred years. Some don't even live that long, and some die early. ”

“I know. ”

“But... you wanted eternal life?" ”

“The lust for life is endless. The longer it's been alive, the more so. Looking at the elders of the clan who are dying of dust at the end of their lifetime...... I also felt afraid of it. ”

There were many who were lost in death.

Rather, it was easy to be obsessed with life. Gerán also recently felt strongly about it.

“Unexpectedly, the Holy Grail isn't quite as perfect as it sounds. He used the Holy Grail to create this world, establish a law, and within that law he found a way to take the life of another world and take it away. ”

“That... increases the world and their lifespan?" ”

“Sort of. ”

Acknowledge -

My teeth are clenched.

What Yun Jae wanted to know through German.

That's why dragons created this world.

They couldn't have built a world like this and built a system like this for no reason. I thought there must be a reason.

The Germans would know why. Yun Jae thought so, and eventually he heard the answer through Germanic.

But…….

‘Life, life……. ’

I remember when I first came to this side of the world. Abram the Great was also a man who wished for eternal life.

It takes many human lives and increases its own. Yun Jae was angry at Abram's selfish appearance and desire, and eventually cut off his head.

What's the difference? ’

What's the difference between those hideous human and intelligent dragons?

They were all the same maniacs.

“I don't mean to be a substitute... but I apologize. ”

Guerran rises up to Yun Jae and bows his head.

“Please don't forgive us. ”

“ ……. ”

A lot of thoughts came to my mind.

In the end, Gerrian didn't say he was moving. He was neutral in true sense.

I understand.

If he helps Yun Jae, he betrays his own kind.

Even if they go the wrong way, they can't put a knife to their throat.

“Very well. ”

Sok-

Yoon Jae got up from his seat.

The Germans and the Arians. Why they were guarding the fragment, and why the other dragons made the world.

I learned about it.

I was furious and calmed down. It was not the Germans who needed to express their anger.

He wasn't moving himself, he was talking through himself.

Don't forgive their families for their sins. On your behalf, take down their world.

That's it...... Please make everything right again.

“I'm sorry I can't be far away. I hope you have the glory in front of you. ”

Geryan greets Yun Jae, who is returning home.

Yoon Jae glances at him, lowering his head and leaving a greeting.

It was shortly after.

“This is the first time I've heard this story today. ”

It was a voice I had heard for a long time.

Geryan turns his head and looks back. You see Zahar standing behind you like an old man.

“When... did you... come? ”

“It's been there for a while. I just didn't want him to know. ”

“Why now……. ”

He had never shown his face since he became a monarch.

Zahar was the most unique monarch of all time.

Is it because of humans? Unlike when angels and demons became monarchs, I felt more painful than feeling good or evil.

But I also felt that way for a little while. He's been hiding his end ever since he found out about this world. He did not show his face to the dragons, nor to himself, nor to the Arians.

“Until now, I've hated you. ”

“…… Have you heard from Arian? ”

“Yes."

Zahar brings a chair in front of him.

Zahar, sitting in front of the Germans, looked up at him and said,

“I heard you sent him to me. ”

He meant Yoon Jae.

“…… Yes. ”

His voice is swallowed up and flows small.

Zahar stared at the Germans like that and said,

“Well done.”

I coughed, and my emotions rose and swallowed.

I wanted to say a lot. But it didn't come out.

Zahar read his mind with that look on his face.

“Was it hard?”

“…… Yes. ”

Although this dragon has lived a long and long time, living a long time does not necessarily mean that he can only make wise and wise choices.

He's been thinking about his choices all along. What was the right thing to do, and I conflicted about it and lived every day.

“It's been very, very hard. ”

It was a long, long worry.

The longer my worries got, the greater my pain became. It was hard to choose, and I regretted making it because I didn't think it was the right thing to do.

“Was I right? ”

I asked him for the right answer.

“At least for me. ”

Zahar did not lie.

There is no right answer in any choice. Even humans who live only a hundred years make thousands or tens of thousands of difficult decisions.

How many dragons can live for 10,000 years?

Gerrian's decision was the hardest choice of his life.

“Let me just say two things. ”

“ ……. ”

“At least you're not the only one. ”

Arianne made the same choice.

He told himself everything. For Zahar, who had been disconnecting from dragons for centuries, it was a new beginning.

“And... if you've already made a choice, believe that it's the right one. ”

Many things will be different by the choice of Germans and Arians.

He told the truth to Yun Jae, the key. It was a way to find yourself sooner than when Yoon Jae was scheduled.

“Huh-huh-huh-”

Zahar looks sad with a sad look on his face, looking at the sobbing Geryan.

It will hurt a lot. Even if I told you not to regret it, even if you believed it was the right decision, I know it won't be as easy as it sounds.

A lot will start to change.

No, it has to change.

Their actions were a struggle for it.

‘From now on……. ’

Zahar mutters, watching where Yoon Jae disappeared.

“You have to do it well. ”

* * *

When Yoon Jae returned to Clan House, he had already left the hospital room with Elvin.

Yoon Jae, who told Kim Jin-seok that he was coming soon, went straight to see him. Although Elvin may not know it, he can clearly see the norm.

“I'm not angry. ”

“ ……. ”

As soon as he saw Yoon Jae, he said with a blunt face. The regular that Kim Jin-seok and the two were eating then began picking up the spoon again.

‘I didn't say anything. ’

When I saw him say he wasn't angry before I said anything, I was sure he was angry.

Yoon Jae stood between Kim Jin-seok and regular pretending not to know.

“Let's eat together. Looks like a lot of food. ”

“I'm going to eat all this. ”

“…… how old are you? ”

In response, Yoon Jae sighed deeply. I tried to move on without saying anything, but I felt like I needed to talk.

“I've come to see the dragon. ”

“What?"

“Yes?”

Suddenly, he stopped eating and the two of them noticed Yoon Jae.

Yun Jae shared the same story with both of them.

Starting with how he learned about the dragon, the Holy Spirit, and the secrets of the world, he uncovered and explained in detail all of his connections to Zahar.

There was nothing special about their reaction. Normal was just like that, was the face. It didn't seem like much.

Kim Jin-seok was the same.

In fact, there was nothing special about listening to the story. Not all dragons are bad, I just had to think so.

“That's what this is about? ”

The normal voice was slightly slumped.

It seemed to be quite satisfying that Yoon Jae told him the details.

Yun Jae asked as she began to eat.

“By the way, what about Mr. Elvin and Mr. Royce? ”

“They ate separately. ”

“Is that so?"

Well, why did the two of them want to eat together? I understood that I was eating separately.

Yoon Jae suddenly looked at the norm while eating a mouthful of chicken soup. Ironically, Kim Jin-seok was also looking at the norm with a similar face.

“Hmm? Why? ”

Gulp, the regular swallowed food and looked at the two of you alternately. Yoon Jae suddenly asked.

“By the way, who are you? ”

“Me? What? ”

“It's been six years since I've been here... Does anyone like you? ”

The question suddenly made a regular expression of embarrassment.

What's this Yoon Jae? I was looking at myself with a look. It was a look of gold with pride.

“Is it him? ”

Yoon Jae whispered so little that he opened up his regular distance. Regular people raised their voices with a heavy heart.

“That brother...! ”

The thought that comes to mind when I try to raise my voice to protest.

It was why Yoon Jae is going through this trouble. No matter who I met, Yoon Jae was already a married man.

Heel-jeong, the normal gaze turned to Kim Jin-seok and went down again.

I couldn't help but notice that I was fine with Kim Jin-seok's excuse. Kim Jin-seok still hasn't forgotten the painful past.

“…… damn it. ”

Eventually, the regular person heard the talk again without saying anything.

For some reason, I felt like I lost.

Soon, Yoon Jae smiled coolly, and Kim Jin-seok also smiled rarely.
