World Maker

In short-range runs, the ranking of the first starting point was often maintained until the moment it passed the finish point.

However, long distance running was not the case. As soon as the pace distribution became a viable distance, the trailing player could catch up with as many leading players as possible, and the person who was leading at the start could be knocked out by such an accident.

If you compare ‘War of the Gods’ to running, it would be like a marathon.

What a long, long drive.

Early rankings could be reversed as much as possible.

“I need paper. Exactly, the whole stationery thing. ”

It has been four days since the people returned to the new world and two months since the time of the handover.

The distance between each other was somewhat closer as the fake gods participating in the meeting were four to six. Young people sat down next to Dang Ayong, and Tefnet, Edwing, and Bart and Asca sat down in a row beside him.

Stationery, including paper.

Tools needed for ‘History’.

“That was the most uncomfortable thing to do when you were in handover. There's a lot I want to teach Elders, but time is limited. Every time I try to tell you something, I have to stick to it and tell it, and I have to repeat it until the lightning storm or black bear memorizes it..... ”

How hard it was to teach dance for the first time.

Yeongmin was an ordinary college student, and in fact did not possess that much knowledge. However, the basic knowledge of the people was enough to create a transformation for Elders, the early stages of civilization.

It was just a simple arithmetic.

Multiplication and subtraction were among the ‘revolutions’ in mathematics. How much time did it take to multiply and divide?

If there were paper and pencils to leave a 'record’, the people would have been able to pass on more things to Elders.

Edwing nods as if he agrees with the people.

“However, there are as many texts as possible, and it is not uncommon at this time to actually write. ”

It was a few years ago that Hangul was handed over as a syllable.

However, most Elders were satisfied with the line that they were just using their own names. because there was no more use.

The writing on the ground was easily erased. It was exhausting to write stone on the wall.

At least the only people who often used letters were those who felt the need for ‘records’, such as white deer or small trees.

The white deer inscribed Elders' myths, histories, and sacred records on a clay plate, and the small tree inscribed on the bark how to make and use the newly invented tools.

If stationery were to be disseminated, and thus given a more accessible writing environment, Elders' literacy areas would be greatly expanded.

“So I say, who knows how to make paper here. ”

The man who took a deep breath asked, and, of course, no one answered.

It was similar to the first time I asked him to farm. I knew that I was using wood to make paper, but I didn't know anything about the process.

Asca asks Tefnet.

“Teff, don't you know how to make Papyrus? ”

Historical means of recording used since ancient Egyptian times.

Although there were more inconvenient corners than paper, Papyrus was still a convenient tool comparable to bark or clay plates.

Aska's question sent a fairly anticipated glance to Tefnet, as did his people and Edwing. Tefnet vomited once and replied, as if it were somewhat burdensome.

“Well, unfortunately, there's no Papyrus here to make Papyrus. I must make Papyrus into a god first..... I wonder if he will grow well because the climate of Elders' land and my hometown is quite different. ”

Papyrus was the name of the plant, and Papyrus, the species thought of by the Ascanians, was an object made by processing the plant Papyrus.

I had already made 17 pairs of animals like chickens and horses, so it wouldn't be difficult to make Papyrus, but the growing environment was a problem, as Tefnet said.

‘Should I make a similar renovation plant? ’

Asca opens her mouth again as the people ponder.

“Don't you know how to make paper? It was China that first made the paper. ”

It was as if all the Orientals were Westerners who thought they were masters of martial arts. Dae-A-young frowned and replied angrily.

“There's no way I know that! ”

“If you don't know, you don't know. Why are you nervous? ”

Asuka and Dan-A-young growl at each other. However, Edwing looked at the people and said that it was quite a routine sight.

“Now you're using it on clay plates or bamboo, right? Bark or bark.”

“Yes."

“Well, how about parchment because you have a lot of sheep? ”

The inhabitants blinked.

“Huh? You made parchment out of sheep? ”

“Yeah, it's sheepskin. ”

parchment paper.

Thinking about it, the name came from sheepskin. The young man scratches his chin with a slightly blurred face, and Edwing sighs.

“I don't think anyone knows how to make this either. ”

Article 17 certainly knew about the victories of many civilizations. But it was technically the position of the entertainer, not the producer, so it was no exaggeration to say that he only knew the consequences, and he knew very little about the process of making them.

Then what do we do?

“I have a good idea. ”

Yeongmin and Edwing, of course, were surprised to see Asuka and Dae-A-young, who were fighting with one eye. Because Bart, who was no one else, was holding hands.

“Honey, do you know how to make paper? ”

“No, I don't know. ”

Bart, who replied coldly, shrugged Asca.

“Do we need to solve the problem only within our group of 17 and Elder? There is no such limit. It is we who set it. The solution is simple: learn from a species that already has paper. Or attack them and take away their skills. ”

In Article 17 there was no fake god who knew how to make paper.

But will the other false gods do the same?

“No, that's right..... ”

Asca blurs her end and looks back at the others. And the answer to that look was surprising.

“That's a good idea. ”

“Sister?”

Tefnet sends a smile to Dae-young and Aska, who open their eyes wide. She discussed something else instead of a radical means of 'war’.

“Unless the tribe developed it itself, it must have been handed over by a fake god. Then you might be able to exchange information with another fake god to gain access to papermaking. ”

Exchange information with other fake gods.

Negotiate.

Make a deal.

The inhabitants blinked.

“Uh, hold on. Are you sure the invitation to the banquet is here? ”

Tefnet nods.

“I thought it was time to come back a few years after the handover. And as if I had read my thoughts, an invitation came at dawn. ”

Fourth banquet with this.

In the fact that the invitation came, the people deduced another fact.

“Most of them have returned. ”

Substantial end of Avatar Descent Quest.

It was a long time ago, so in a way, it was natural.

What happened to the other fake gods? Did Zeus make several anti-Semites as expected of his fellow citizens?

“Sister.”

Dan-A-young called Tephnet in a small voice. Somehow, I looked at the people and asked them.

“Are you dressed? ”

What kind of clothes are they this time?

Tefnet hugs Dang Ah-young as if he can't take it anymore. Tapping Dae-a-young's back, he said.

“Don't worry, this time it's cute and pretty. Not naughty clothes. ”

Dan-A-young smiled widely, and Yeongmin and Edwing expressed their heartlessness.

“Why aren't there any Bart clothes with me? Do you discriminate because you're a sub-god? ”

There were only four clothes in the box that Edward Wing brought from outside the New World.

Traditional costume with an oriental breeze.

However, it did not go for a while whether it was Chinese or Korean or Japanese. I even heard it felt like a modern retrofit.

He lifts up his own red clothes, and Edwin says.

“It's not bad strategically. Rather a gain? ”

Article 17 absorbed article 19 and made it a sub-god.

It was quite meaningful information. To the extent that it would be advantageous to block the information leakage from Edwin's horse.

‘But we don't know either. ’

Is there going to be a Joe who secured a sub-god, or is there a fake god who focuses only on absorbing and eating even though he can?

The inhabitants did not express their concerns in words because of the old age.

Dan-A-young's clothes were as green as ever, and Tefnet's clothes were yellow. Asca's face became a tear when they both watched because they were so beautiful in shape.

“Ugh. I want one too. ”

“Don't be so jealous, my love. If everyone, including the people, goes to the banquet, there's only two of us in the new world, right? It's been a while, hasn't it? ”

Bart said, and Asca's expression brightened the moment. I vomited my joy like a man of new enlightenment.

“Ah, my dear Bart. ”

“Ah, lovely Asca. ”

The two began a vigorous skinnership, and Edward Wing made an impression. I said to the people with my eyes open.

“They don't really care if we're here or not. ”

The people who sympathized with the smile lifted up their own white clothes.

As always, in accordance with the extradition of the man in white mask, article 17 headed to the central system. This time it was an outdoor banquet, with hundreds of red lanterns under the night sky of Sakaman.

The banquet hall was full of fake gods since there was no special treatment for gathering only the top pair as before.

‘You still have so much left. ’

It was roughly a hundred people.

In fact, in a way, it was natural. With the handover time, it was only a decade ago. There were thirty pairs that entered the World Quest, so even if they all combined, over a hundred of them were right.

I've become quite a fake god who recognizes the group of souls because of last banquet. In the flood of glances, Dan-A-young raises a blatant livelihood and guards his surroundings, and Edwing steps forward as he protects Tefnet.

The people chose to hide in the air once. This banquet was not very different from previous banquets.

Collection and exchange of information.

“Goodbye. It's not good to work efficiently. ”

The meaning of what Tefnet said was clear. The young man who nodded his head once embraced Dang Ayong only once and then somewhat depressed his livelihood. He walked into the banquet hall alone. I looked around to find ripe faces.

And I was able to face two men as expected.

“Lady Odin. Did you have a lot of kids? ”

It was Zeus and Knut who waved their hands with a giggle. In the presence of two men who took a sperm and sat down and enjoyed drinking and meat, the people laughed without my knowledge.

“You're safe, too. ”

“Not safe. So you had a baby, didn't you? ”

As soon as the people sat down, Zeus regained control. The inhabitants turned their heads once again to the stone jewel, which they threw openly to find out where the careful battle went during the first banquet. I looked at Knut, and I opened my eyes wide with a reflection.

“Wait, knut, you don't think so? ”

“Well, how many women give birth to a child safely? ”

Knut smiles a little ugly, not as usual. Zeus, I thought it was natural, but I didn't think Knut would be too active in making children.

“Oh, my God.”

When the people shake their heads, Zeus fills his tongue with drag. He said, filling the cup of the people with wine.

“Oh, my God. It's new blood. It was an avatar, not our body, so we don't know what kind of creature we're going to be born of yet, but we're likely to have an extraordinary creature, aren't we? You think I was just hanging out with the handover ladies for pleasure? Technically, it's called business. ”

Zeus saw his children among the mythical fairies, goddesses, and human beings who had returned to Greece. And for that reason, it was always‘ to produce heroes in case of future danger. '

“Fine, I'll teach you because you're Odin, not anyone else. ”

Zeus, who had a drink, stood up straight away. I looked around for a moment and said in a serious tone.

“To date, according to my research, most of the fake gods that went down to the ground in this quest are 'leftovers’. Would it be a little exaggerated if you could see the host's intentions? ”

A mix of God and man.

It was the life that resulted from the body of the Avatar, not the body of Zeus Malmatana, but it was clear that it was‘ extraordinary birth ’after all.

The people bitten it without my knowledge. I've thought about it enough, but I heard it through Zeus' mouth and felt different.

Is it true that most of the fake gods who came to earth left their blood in the world?

Was the choice you made not to betray Dae-young wrong?

Knutt smiles as the people are quite agitated as usual. He said, filling the empty Citizen's Cup with new wine.

“Well, I don't know if it's okay for you to have him. ”

That one.

God Warrior Lightning Storm that Knutt thought was the strongest warrior in handover.

In Knut's words, the people felt something else instead of relief.

Knut knows the existence of a lightning storm. I didn't just say lightning storm, but there was only one thing that could be referred to as' him ’in the present situation.

How? By any chance, Knut watched the journey of himself and Elders?

Commemoration did not continue for long. It is because something else to think about from the outside has been thrown.

“Coming.”

Zeus said, and the people and Knut turned their gaze. A man who traverses silently between so many false gods far away.

Of the more than a hundred false gods, he looked only at one man, the inhabitant.

“Wiseman.”

The distance the call will not reach.

But Wiseman heard the call of the people. And the people could also hear Weissman's answer.

“The white god. ”

As Weissman approached, Zeus and Knutt each began to react.

“You owe me money in handover. ”

It was Knut who gave the horse a favorable smile. Wiseman, who would not take his gaze lightly even if it was his enemy's intention, sat down beside Jacqueline Zeus.

“Knut. He was strong, too. Awesome. I thought you were going to die at the time, but it's over. I should have waited a little longer and put the power together and hit it. ”

I didn't even imagine that a barefoot man with only a stone would attack hundreds of monsters.

Moreover, he didn't just run away. Knut defeats more than half of the monsters that attacked him.

Too bad I couldn't kill him then.

Weissman did not hide his emotions, and Knut laughed loudly. However, it was never easy to grasp the color of the emotion that was cut in that laugh.

And Wiseman didn't really try to analyze it. I naturally said where I got it by putting a drink in front of myself.

“Isn't that fun? ”

Wiseman's gaze was on the glass. But his voice was directed at all three fake gods sitting around a small table.

“In the handover, we tried to kill each other. Nevertheless, here we sit face to face eating alcohol and meat. You competitors are talking like old erasers now. ”

“Aren't you the only one who's actively threatened to kill? ”

Zeus filled the Wiseman's cup. He was smiling too, so it was hard to read his emotions.

Wiseman's tongue is full.

“Someday I'll have to fight. If you see a weakness, is it Dori who stands on the battlefield who stabs you? Rather, it would be better to step back from each other on the larger stage. ”

Zeus licks his lower lip with the tip of his tongue out. Did Weissman steal Knut's conversation with himself, or was it just a postponement?

“I killed two fake gods in handover. I wonder if you didn't kill one or two of them. ”

“Well? Because I can't face a fake god. ”

Zeus replied, and Knut raised a drink instead of an answer.

And the people brought out another story.

“If you see the water on the battlefield, you must have a home not far from the meadow. ”

The moment there was an impurity called Wiseman, the atmosphere of the tavern returned to its first banquet.

This was not a place to eat, drink and enjoy.

Exploration war.

Restraints on each other.

Gathering information about a new fake god.

Wiseman's mouth was torn long.

“White God, the fight against you was impressive. I've learned a lot. You're not even personal. I never thought I'd defeat the god I made by myself. I was heartily bullied.”

Wiseman unravels his information.

Created a statue.

And the people defeated him.

Did Zeus and Knutt make new water? No, did he really think he was going to make a novelty?

‘Dialogue’ was not unilateral. Arrangements were made for information about each other to be shared between the horses coming and going.

A short moment.

The gaze crossed between the four false gods. The first thing I opened my mouth was Knut again.

“Yes, it was literally a mythical fight. ”

Knut put off the fight for a while. Facing the people with a cool look, he said.

“Me and Zeus were on that meadow. I'm just observing it from a distance. ”

One question has been resolved in the minds of the people.

Knut who was aware of the presence of a lightning storm.

Zeus and Knut saw the fight in the meadow. This meant that Elders' long-range spatial leaps were also observed.

And a lot more than that. A lot of things were uncovered by the battle of that day when I was full of power.

“So the barrel is big. You're spilling advanced information like that. You're getting noticed. Especially one freak. ”

Zeus, who was laughing and talking, went to the end and mixed up the other words.

There are four gods in the upper group gathering to talk.

The third banquet brought together the views of other false gods in nature because their faces were revealed.

However, Zeus would not have mixed up the other words.

Young people spread their feelings widely. Since the last battle with the new recruits, the skill level of the volcano mines has greatly increased, allowing me to spread my emotions even more widely than in the past.

The existence of a person caught in such a foreboding.

It was so heterogeneous, but somehow it felt familiar.

After all, the people lifted their heads. I had already decided, so I threw my gaze without hesitation.

Somewhere far away, there was a man standing alone looking this way. It was hard to read anything other than that he was a man in a blue dress.

A plain face itself. At first glance, there is a presence so strong that neither East nor West can be separated. But he who draws attention. One who cannot ignore its existence.

Was he among the false gods?

And when did the soul itself ever encounter that man's energy?

Immediately, the people opened their eyes wide.

What happened in the handover. Vacant villages and harsh views on the rocky mountains.

The inhabitants bitten it. For a very brief moment, the figure of a man disappeared while thinking differently in order to stutter his memory. I couldn't even find the back of it as if the appearance had just been a lie.

“I look forward to seeing you next time. Rest easy."

A man in a white mask who left a ritual greeting left the New Testament with a ferry of 17. As soon as he got off the boat, Edwin, who had hesitated on the floor, stretched out his shoulders.

“Ugh... it was hard. ”

I was really tired of what I was doing under my eyes. Asca, however, vomited to Edwin like that.

“What, you must have eaten a lot of good stuff at the banquet hall. It's nice to be here.”

However, it seemed as if my face was shining with such an ashkayama. Edwin looks at Bart instead of Asca and asks.

“You didn't get a bone articulation, did you? ”

It was not possible to determine if the skin was black under the eyes. Bart responded with a smile.

“Sister, what happened to the paper? ”

Asca asks with a secret expectation. Tefnet replied, breaking his eyebrows with his arms.

“You know there are some tribes that have already been made. I've heard a little advice from them. But...... I still haven't figured it out perfectly. Perhaps we should be satisfied in Papyrus for now. ”

“Well, it's no exaggeration to call it a business secret. For now, I have to make a renovation plant. ”

Even though the divinity needed to make a modified plant was divine, Papyrus lacked its utility rather than paper. So I wanted to know how to make paper if possible, but it must have been a pack.

“Ah-young, what do you know...... No, I got it. ”

Asuka didn't speak, and Dan-A-young shook his eyebrows as though he was offended.

“What, that look. I was busy guarding Teff's sister, too. ”

“Okay, okay. Good work."

“Ugh.”

Dan-a-young growled in praise without a soul, but that's it. It was Dae-a-young who knew it would only make me look ridiculous after seeing more of this.

Edwing leaves energetic Dae-young and Asuka behind and asks the people.

“What about you, then? It's been quiet all over the ship. Did you talk to Zeus about anything? ”

Young people only mingled with Zeus, Knut, Wiseman, and these three throughout the banquet. From a distance, the air flow between the four was unusual, so Edwing didn't even bother to get involved.

Talk to three of them and you'll get it.

There were, of course, many. There was also advanced information that could serve as a starting point for future development.

However, it was not a conversation with fake gods that filled the minds of the people all the way back.

“I have something on my mind. ”

The people said, and the eyes of all 17 were gathered against the people. But the people did not respond to those gazes. Rather, he murmured again, immersed in his own world.

“It's not something that gets in my mind. ”

Elders' lives have undergone another transformation since the nomads joined.

The biggest change of all was‘ the training of the dancers’.

It was made by Ramu, the incarnation of the White God, and the lightning storm, Elder's greatest warrior, was a 'martial arts' that was enthusiastically cultivated. Many Elders were interested in nature, and if they lived in a 'big town’ within a few days, everyone trained in dance without covering their young and old.

Of course, it was not a proper drill. It was only some of the lightning storms, black bears and nomads that were properly polishing the interior, so there was a lack of 'educators’, and the training of natural elders was forced to focus on ‘outside' training that could be learned by many groups.

Once a day, group air training starts at sunrise and lasts for two hours.

At the end of a common day, Elders head to their respective workplaces.

Asca was not satisfied with clearing the field and creating a reservoir and opening the field. Moreover, we had to give work to nomads who had recently emigrated.

That's why the new construction started.

The Elders built the ‘road’.

Large villages produce large quantities of wheat, and salt villages produce salt. In the earthquake village across the river, technicians with small trees built several tools.

Products made like that were not consumed in only one village. Products were transported through ‘wheeled wagons’ that were so advanced that they could not even be compared to what Nectars first used.

In order to facilitate and speed up this logistics transport, it was necessary to have ‘roads’ maintained rather than just ‘roads’.

Make way for the wagon to rest, and make drainage so that the path doesn't break when it rains a lot.

The ‘Roman Empire’, which could be called the first Mediterranean empire, did not hesitate to create roads. When I was on a new path, I always created a new 'road’ and quickly transported troops and supplies through the roads that were built like this.

The road network was like a human vein. It was a way for the 'country’ to circulate well without clogging.

Elders' primary construction goal was the completion of the road between the three villages. After all this was accomplished, the road leading to the 'fourth village’ was to be built.

Fourth village.

Maybe it became a second village there.

It was a village where Nectars lived in the past.

The villages where Nectars lived in the past were as well established as the big ones of Elders. It was too bad to just leave it.

A well dug by Nectars in the past, a primitive field where grain was grown.

With the arrival of nomads, Elders now had a population of around 5,000. Following the words, the means of transportation called "Roum" were also added to the yard, so it was not only greed to restore Nectars' past villages.

Of course there were those who said it was ominous because it was a land occupied by Demon Decor, but most Nectars missed their home in the past. It seems to be the first town I lived in, because it meant something to me.

Article 17, sympathizing with the time of expansion, cleared Elders of their anxiety by stating that the Young Man of the Green God was more active than usual, and that receiving the trust was a lightning storm.

‘It has already been cleansed. You can rebuild the town. ’

There was nothing more to brake Elders' willingness to develop. The lightning storm ordered four of the Nectars to scout the villages of the former Nectars. I paid all four men to go on reconnaissance, so it was a journey that would end in seven days, no matter how long.

Four Nectars left the big town with thunderstorms and green lightning bolts.

But within a fortnight of that,

Your man didn't come back.

Elder's ceremony, including the lightning storm, resulted in the dispatch of an additional scout when the scout did not return, so that the original schedule was doubled. Similar discussions were also held on article 17.

“Damn it, why can't I rewind it? ”

Edwin coughs his frustrated young voice and frowns.

It has become impossible to ‘rewind’ what was formerly possible because the number of Article 17 members ranged from four to six, or to increase the 'difficulty' due to the development of civilization.

Article 17 made it possible to reproduce and observe what Elders had done in the past. But now that I can't, I also worked as an agent to re-observe what happened in Nectar Village.

Fortunately, however, there was one fake god who watched over the entire Nectar reconnaissance process.

It was Dong-a-young.

“I haven't exactly seen it either. ”

He said in a slightly crawling voice that the heavy expectations around him were overwhelming. Tefnet grabbed Dang Ayong's hand.

“I'm fine. I'm just trying to tell you what you saw. ”

Others nodded and reduced the burden on Dan-a-young. Dan-a-young, who swallowed a drowsiness, began the story within minutes.

“The village of Nectar hasn't changed much. It's just, you know, the kind of change that happens when people don't live long. That's it. The problem was when I went out to dig a well. ”

The biggest peculiarity of the civilization that Nectars built was the fact that they dug a well. If the well was safe, it would not be difficult to resettle Nectar without a river around it.

“The well was rotten. There was an animal body in the well. When a scout thought that an animal in a well with a handrail or something like that was just drowned and died, and who did it on purpose, he was attacked. ”

Drops the animal corpse and prevents it from using the well.

That was already enough hostility. All 17 clans waited for the next word from Dae-young.

“It was a bow. There were six opponents. What should I say? The upper half was a man and the lower half was a man. The one with the upper half attached where the horse's neck and head will be? ”

“Centauri.”

“Huh?”

Edward winged quickly.

“It's a mythical antisemite. It's not like a monster, is it another species? ”

The inhabitants encountered several ‘monster races’ as well as Minotauros in the Prairies. If the Centauri were much closer to humans than Minotauros, there was a possibility that they could be a species with a false god.

Though the story was brief, it was still the work of the scouts. Dae-a-young resumed his story.

“After seeing so much damage from the first attack, all the scouts were killed. Apparently, the effect of the ambush is absolute...... Those Kenta guys dropped the body of the scout into the well and left town. ”

The story of Dae-a-young is over. Edward said, pressing on the temple play as if he was tired.

“What you're doing is completely hostile. If we run into each other, we'll have to fight. ”

Dae-a-young also agreed with Edwing. She said she manipulated the console and printed a nearby map on the screen.

“It wasn't like they lived nearby. I had a lot of luggage for that. ”

“Yes, you must have met me on the way back around here. ”

Young Min listened to Dae-young. The direction of the return of the people itself was north, but it returned from the northeast due to various topographical conditions. I was overzealous as far as Nectar, so I couldn't have faced it if I had a village of the Centaurs nearby.

After Edward entered the path of movement of the people on the map, he began to deduce the presumed place of the village of Centaurus.

Bart, who was listening quietly, opened his mouth.

“The words of Ayung and the people also make sense. But even so, they're within range of hitting us. Moreover, I can never be reassured if they have the maneuverability of a horse. ”

“Yes, the Centauri would be a combat race...... I don't know if they would enslave them. ”

Asca walks out with Bart. Dan-a-young tilted his head.

“You might enslave me? What are you talking about again? ”

Asca printed a new screen in the air instead of describing it immediately. It was a stereoscopic statue of Centaurus, whose horse was bound to the upper half of the human body.

“Look. Centauri can't bend his back properly because of the structure. It's a union of horses and humans. It may be suitable for combat, but there are many inconveniences in everyday life. There's very little you can do with your back down right now. First of all, the height is high. ”

“Oh, really. ”

It was like having a man's arm on the ear of a horse, so the basic height itself was too high. Furthermore, even lowering the posture made it difficult to place the 'floor’ of the hand because of the addition of the entire upper half of the human body to the trunk of the horse.

Is it possible for Centauri to sell the land?

Moreover, if they were that bulky, there would also be a lot of sheep to eat. The living space should also be very spacious.

“But combat has a lot of advantages. Rather than being enslaved, I wonder if it makes more sense to be enslaved. ”

Elder has been called the new ‘Elder’ when he absorbs other species so far. However, it was doubtful that a race like Centauri could be mixed with humans, and there would be many advantages to maintaining a clan that was self-absorbed rather than creating a mixed blood.

Sparta, formerly one of Greece's urban states, has enslaved more slaves than the number of its people. It was evidence that it was not possible to enslave a large number of slaves if there were strong military forces.

However, all these discussions were in the end only 'anticipated’.

Dae-a-young brought out a more realistic story.

“I think they use a composite bow, too. The arrows were fast and powerful. ”

“That's a real stadium. If the ability of the Combined Bow to fire on the horse's maneuver...... would be troublesome. ”

The basic tactic of the stadium was to use its rapid manoeuvring to ‘keep your distance from the enemy’ and fire.

Moreover, the Centaurs could have been heavy artillery with a strong impact on their shortsights, whether armed or not. Perhaps later in modern times, in wars of absolute power, horses could be said to be an ideal combat race.

The spirit manipulates the console, pouring out Edwin's worries. I zoomed in again.

“Nectar Village is more east than us..... ”

There were also too many dwellings to estimate. There were few, but the land was vast, and it was natural to have such a world.

Bart commented again.

“For now, I feel compelled to defend myself while practicing a large cavalry tactic. We have death spears, we have horses, we have romance. If you train properly, there is no reason to search for Centauri. ”

It was a reasonable opinion. The Elders were strong.

Ranged weapons included composite arches, slings and atlases, horses and ropes, and stirrups that aided activities on horses, allowing them to operate both paratroopers and heavy artillery.

Edwin, who nodded his head, asked Dang Ayong as if he remembered the bird.

“And it turns out, Ahjussi, there's still a lot of other things besides poop poison? ”

“Cover your horses. What a shit poison. What a shit poison. ”

“That's right, poop dog. ”

Dan-a-young frowned, but he didn't say anything more. It was true of Edward Wing.

Apply a seal to the end of the Throwing Weapon or Death Spear.

It was possible to slow the recovery itself when the seal entered the wound, and it was also possible to cause additional damage. It was really primitive and embarrassing to call it poison from the perspective of the Four Thousand Party, but once poison was poison.

A few coughs exploded and Dae-young manipulated the console to enlarge the south side of the big town.

“It's a long way south from the big town, but there are mountains and hills. I'm going to gather some fauna and observe them. Do you have any poison? ”

There were so many targets for poison. Insects, plants, snakes, etc. It used to be a crowd, but now Elders would be able to make a plausible poison under the direction of Dan-A-young.

The mountain that Dang Ayong identified as a poison gathering place.

It took me three days to walk, but it didn't take me three days to ride a horse.

Tefnet smiles generously.

“It's a long walk, but now that you have words and wisdom, it's no problem. ”

The atmosphere that had subsided because of the Centaurs was slightly revived thanks to Tefnet's smile.

But that was the time. It was as if I was waiting for this time. Suddenly, the screens that Section 17 had printed turned white. The letter of light was embroidered on it.

The inhabitants read along the letters reflectively. I opened my eyes wide without my knowledge.

“Second... World Quest?! ”

World Quest: Flooding

Disasters, disasters.

Article 17 looked back at each other.

Three years from the time of the handover, there will be a flood.

Defend your faction in the face of a disaster called flooding.

Unlike in the first World Quest, the description was not detailed. The letters of light passed in two lines were all there was.

Short but heavy silence curtailed the entire article 17.

Flooding occurs.

Protect your species from disasters.

“Flooding, what scale of flooding are you talking about? ”

Young Min said, and Edwin stood up. I shed my voice with a frightened face.

“You're not the Ark of Noah, are you? ”

“Noah's Ark? ”

Bart asks what it is. It was an unexpected question, so Edwin forgot about the tension until just now and made a slightly blunt expression.

“Uh, should I call that a myth? ”

When Edwin panicked, the people spoke on his behalf.

“Flood myths are everywhere in the world. Even in Greek mythology, Zeus once swept his handover to the flood. There is a similar story in Mesopotamian mythology...... it was told by Zeus at the last banquet. ”

When the look on Article 17 became strange, the people who added that they would take over vomited flawlessly and in vain. I resumed the story.

“Well, the story of Noah's Ark itself is simple. God was angry and tried to destroy this world with a flood, but Noah alone opened the way to live. Noah built a great ship, an ark, and burned his family and all the animals of the world in pairs, waiting for the flood to end, and blossomed a new civilization in a world where everything was gone. Well, that's the story. ”

In some ways, it was a slightly wrong story, but what I wanted to tell Bart in the first place was the structure of a brief story.

Bart frowns at Glagan when he hears the story of the people.

“Is the world doomed? Flooding? Should we order the Elders to build the Ark? ”

The world is doomed by floods.

The silence was so loud that the sound of drowsiness swallowed up Article 17.

Asca wakes up and shakes her hands.

“Stan, I don't think so. Maybe it's just a flood of lectures? If it really were a flood of global extinction, there would be a few species that could survive in the first place. The population is shrinking. It's like a complete reset. Isn't that right?"

Asca looks back on the people, Edwing, and Tefnet, as she seeks their consent.

Tefnet said with a smug young face.

“A flood of rivers is a big deal. Maybe even a big town will do damage. And if it rains a lot, it will cause damage..... ”

The 'flood myth’ itself was found all over the world, as the people said. And the reason was simple. Because most civilizations are based on the ‘river’.

The flooding of the river was a big deal for Tefnet's horse. If we don't protect them properly, the civilization we've built up could be destroyed.

Of course, we could expect the effects of fertilizing the surrounding land like the flooding of the Nile, but that was also the story after saving civilization for now.

“It's time to worry about enemy threats. ”

Edwin sighs. The Centauri had a headache, but it was a flood.

“Flooding.”

Disasters, disasters.

The spirit who spoke aloud once closed his eyes. After a long sigh, he vomited.

“No, that's not the only problem. ”

“Eh? Is there another problem? ”

Dae-a-young frowned as he cried. The people still spoke with their eyes closed.

“How do I explain it to Elders? ”

This time, Article 17 could not understand the words of the people. Edwin nods and laughs.

“Shouldn't we just say there's going to be a flood of trust? ”

“Yes, you always have. ”

Ascado took Edwin's side.

But the people shook their heads.

“No, it's a little different this time. ”

Different.

What's different about that?

At that moment, Tefnet opened his eyes wide. I covered my lips with palms without my knowledge, and I looked toward the people. I murmured in a voice of distress.

“Flooding. Disasters. Disasters. ”

Still incomprehensible. But the people were different. Nod.

“Yes, Sister Teff. That's why it's hard to explain. ”

“What the hell are you talking about! Don't be frustrated, tell me how cool you feel! ”

After alternately looking back at the people and Tephnet, Dan-a-young stood up and shouted.

The young man nods. Instead of turning it off, I answered quickly.

“Why floods happen. ”

“The wrath of God. Punishment for not accepting me properly, for being foolish. For now, it would be best to explain it this way. It's good for efficiency. ”

Zeus, sitting with his chin bent, shrugged.

God's punishment.

'General theory’ was no exaggeration. Myths around the world have interpreted natural disasters such as lightning, floods and earthquakes as God's wrath.

However, the look of the twelve Olympus gods was not good. Hermes, the youngest of the twelve gods of Olympus, stood on the border between a boy and a youth, raising his hand.

“Brother Zeus. But our Olympians didn't do anything wrong. I didn't do anything stupid. Noah's flood was caused by human corruption. ”

To be angry, I needed a 'reason to be angry’. Of course, you may be angry for no reason, but it was already an area of 'madness’. God should not be angry for no reason.

Zeus bounced his finger. It was as if it was an expected question.

“Yes, Hermes. Your horse or the Olympians didn't do anything wrong. But it's what it takes. Other than that, there's no way to explain the unusual flooding. And we'll finally save the Olympians, so that's fine. To be honest, we have to pretend to be angry. ”

Zeus' explanation was reasonable this time, but he could not satisfy Hermes. Hermes frowned on his brow as though he was still complaining.

Hera smiles generously at Hermes' youth. He said with his elongated finger on Zeus' thigh.

“Then you'll need a good detective and a bad detective. I need an angry god and a probation god. ”

“Yes, Hera. And if you're mad at me like I said before, I'd better take care of it. ”

If Zeus was the supreme strength of Article 6, he was also the number of twelve false gods. I was able to share enough roles, and neither god had to postpone unilateral goodness.

Zeus, the god of lightning, the god of Olympus Twelve, caused the flood with the intent of punishment.

Most of the Twelve agreed to that illustrious story, but Aresman did not go beyond the euphoria. I asked with a voice full of emptiness.

“Zeus, do you intend to play the evil part? What are you plotting again? ”

“Oh, my God, Ares. What a conspiracy. I'm just trying to play the role I deserve as a supreme god. That's what you claim to be responsible for when you have a team, right? ”

As if not, Zeus looked around, and the rest of the Twelve chanted something. Ares did not like all those reactions.

“Chet, you're the best God of anyone. ”

However, there was no twelve gods who sympathized with Ares' words, and Ares himself had long accepted the fact that Zeus was already their leader. I only grumbled alone and didn't raise any bigger problems.

When Ares, the only element of anxiety, shut up, Zeus stood up and extended his arms wide.

“I'm the bad guy, and the player in this job, the role of saving the Olympians, would you rather be played by Demetri and Poseidon? The god of the earth and the god of the sea. It would be nice to make a story. Well, the rest of the gods will support you. ”

From this example, humankind has regarded the river as a sub-concept of the sea. After all, it was the earth that was affected by the flood, so it was good for the gods of the earth and the gods of the sea to take part in the flood.

Zeus is angry and Poseidon, Demetri, and the other twelve gods take care of him.

Athena's lips widen as she looks at Zeus, who vomits her fever.

‘It was weak.'

At first glance, Zeus was‘ sacrificing ’for the team, but not at all when he looked inside.

I get angry with someone who's always good, but if there's someone who's good between them, who would humans like better?

Reasonably speaking, it was the former, but in reality it was often more favorable to the latter.

And through this work, Zeus was able to consolidate the fact that he was the 'best' among the Olympians.

A 'god' who can cause floods.

Even if all the other gods ran and dried up, the flood itself could not be stopped.

After the differentiation of faith, each of the twelve Olympus gods came up with their own faith parameters. There was no big difference right now, but it seemed to me that the gap between the gods would widen according to the concentrated faith.

Pretends to lose, but earns a profit.

How many gods have noticed Zeus's deception?

Athena slowly rolled her pupils. And the look on each of the Twelve Gods stopped at Artemis.

The moon and the goddess of hunting.

She faces Athena straight and asks Zeus.

“What about the other Joe's fake gods? ”

I couldn't explain the reason for the flood to my people.

Zeus shrugged his shoulders lightly again.

“Well, most of them will take the same approach as us. As I said before, it is also the most efficient way to describe the flood itself as a 'punishment’, and in fact it is only a few ways to defend its sanctity. ”

“Protect the divinity? ”

It was Hera who asked the additional question. Zeus explained by stroking Hera's red hair.

“Absoluteness can collapse. ”

Article 111, Wiseman's New World.

Wiseman sits in the middle of a room with fireplaces, carpets, rocking chairs, and candles.

The rainbow haired woman, sitting on the carpet across from the Wiseman, leaned her head. The white mask did not reveal a single expression, but it was not difficult to guess what she was looking like with a large pupil that looked through her eye hole.

“Absolute?”

Wiseman asked the pipe in his mouth without answering immediately. As if he cared about the 'officer’ in front of his eyes, he burned a new leaf of tobacco and opened his mouth again after a long sip.

“An unusual flood occurred. But isn't the flood God's will? Then what is God? Can you call it a god who can't control a single flood? ”

Flooding was certainly a major disaster.

Almost immersed in the myths of each country, the fact that there is a story of 'flooding’ meant that it was an impressive event for humans.

But it was when I looked at it with a human eye.

God.

For God, the flood should not have been more than ’just’.

Moreover, the flood was likely to end with a 'flood of rivers’ if the centralists, who would be the operators of the game, were not shot in the head by the group. If the real world is going to have a devastating event, we can't make a plan with the power of fake gods now.

Weissman replied, "The woman in the white mask, who is Weissman's sole representative, has opened her mouth." Slightly touch the mask to remove the mask at the bottom of the nose, then move the lips over the pretty jaw.

“But Wiseman. You're fake gods. ”

Fake god.

A false god, not real.

An omnipotent being.

A race god who can't do any divinity without the belief of a race.

“That's not funny. Let's talk about this. ”

In short, Weissman turned his gaze toward the woman into a book on his knees. And as if I had waited for this moment, I opened my visit and Weissman's angel, Wiz, entered. On the tray in his hand was Kim's mortgaged car.

“Master, have some tea. ”

“I don't really think about it right now. Put it on the table over there. ”

“Yes, my lord. ”

A woman in a white mask, whose existence was completely ignored at the moment, lay in her place. It's like a child wielding his limbs like a pack.

“Aaaah. I'm sorry, okay. I did the wrong thing, but it's the same with Sunbae. ”

After the struggle between the sheep and the herd ended, the woman raised up again, and Weissman drew a small smile.

A woman in a white mask smiles brightly and resumes her conversation.

“But Wiseman. What do you think the scale of the flood will be? Punishment? ”

Is she really asking because she doesn't know, or is she asking to test?

Neither one was good. Wiseman was as instant as nothing to think about.

“If it's too much, my anger has grown, or it has fallen apart. It doesn't matter that I took the initiative. ”

“Ugh, what a villain to say. ”

A woman in a white mask shakes her shoulders and trembles. Wiseman did not deny her words. He said again, swallowing tobacco smoke deeply.

“Unlike the others, I'm alone. Moreover, the Orcs are my kind. It is natural to deal with it as I will. ”

Horses on a chessboard.

You must not incorporate feelings into each of them.

A tool for winning. It's just that.

More than that, it was only a shortcut to defeat.

‘But what about you? ’

Wiseman smiles again, thinking of someone else. And that smile was closer to Jozo than it was a little while ago.

Again, it was the people who gave the answer first.

“The easiest way is that we flooded Elders with bees. ”

Just looking at the myths of the world, I got the answer. Almost all myths described flooding as a divine punishment.

“But the Elders didn't do anything wrong. It's not right to punish Elders who have done nothing wrong because of our side. I can't agree. ”

Dan-a-young broke his head. Askana Edwing and the rest of the crew seemed to be deeply sympathetic to her.

So eventually, the people smiled. He stroked her head and said.

“Yeah, I think so, too. So we need to find a solution. ”

Elders in handover were not toys. Each was a living life, and the fact was clearly confirmed by the Avatar Descent Quest.

We could not impose unjust penalties simply for being efficient. I couldn't persecute Elders without doing anything wrong.

The young man smiled brightly as he sympathized with his words. The same was true for the other 17 articles. Asca made her first comment.

“Can't we use the demons? Just like that darkness last time. ”

‘Darkness' who deceived the children of the gods of the earth.

Bath and Asca's instantaneous conception of the existence occupied an axis in the mythology of Elders.

Darkness, Yakin.

A fictional figure that you can use at your convenience.

But the people shook their heads.

“It's not good. After all, it means we couldn't stop the devil. Furthermore..... I am reluctant to act to empower the Dark Yakin. ”

The source of the power of the false gods was the faith of Elders. If you believe the Elders really exist, and you're afraid, aren't you going to be born with a Yakin?

It was only a hypothesis yet, and nothing had been confirmed, but somehow it was the people's idea that they should refrain from using Yakin.

I needed a villain, and that villain had to be one of the 17 false gods.

How long has it been since the silence that everyone can't open their mouths?

Tefnet raised his hand quietly. I waited for everyone's gaze to converge on me and said,

“We need the villains that are the subject of the flood. And..... I think it's right for me to be evil, the god of water. ”

“Sister.”

Asuka as well as Dae-A-young's expression darkened. Tefnet drew a smile that would be as good as a trademark as reassuring for the two of them, and said to the people.

“Young Min, wouldn't it be easier if I became a villain? So tell me anything that comes to mind. ”

Tefnet made up his mind. If there was no other way, I would even accept the setting that the God of Water was mad.

The young man raised his hands again and covered his face. Mixed in a sigh and vomited fatigue.

“We're fake gods anyway. And for the Elders, we're the ones with the sparkling personality. ”

It has already revealed a lot of emotions.

Dan-a-young didn't even cry in front of the lightning storm.

“Yeah, we didn't get absolute at first. Not far from omnipotence. Because you have feelings. ”

He is not an omnipotent God.

It is clear, however, that he is the guardian of the great miracle-making tribe for the Elders.

That difference, that gap.

“Let's say Teff's sister is sick. ”

“Is your sister sick? ”

The young man nodded at Dang Ayong's question. Remove the two hands that covered his face and say quickly.

“Yeah, it's a personality, anyway. I think it's okay to set the flood because the power of God is temporarily weakened by some cause. I think I've seen similar stories in other myths. ”

“Obviously, lane. ”

What I said this time was Bart.

Force runaway. Leakage of force caused by temporary weakness.

Either way, it was good. Absoluteness is crumbling and the power of the great god itself has not been damaged.

Of course, problems could arise, such as why the gods become weaker and why the rest of the gods could not stop their power. Without making a good ‘story’, faith itself could be shaken.

But this lane was the best that Section 17 could choose.

“Elders' grudges against you will not be averted, though. ”

Yeongmin looked at Tefnet and said. In that sad gaze, Tefnet shook his head.

“I can't help it. You can't always play a good role. Each one is ready. ”

Tefnet pauses and looks back at Dan-A-young and Aska. I declared to my two brothers the same tears.

“I'm the best match for this. So I will not accept any disagreement. Everyone knows that and help. ”

A flood caused by the yellow god, the goddess of love and water.

Now that the approximate cause has been determined, it is time to move on to the next step.

He taps the round table lightly, as if Edwin were changing his mood.

“By the way, it's been three years since I was handed over. It's not short, but it's long. Let's have a policy on how to prepare for flooding. ”

“Edwin is right. In three years, it will be time to confront those Centaurs once and for all, so there will be a lot to prepare. ”

The people nodded at Bart's words. He stood up and clapped his hands aloud and drew a proud smile. He said with a slight theatrical wind.

“Wouldn't it be too ridiculous not to be prepared for the foreseeable future? Let's try our best to stop it. And let's keep Elders cool this time. ”

At the end, he seemed to hold his fist on fire, but confidence only lasted a very brief time.

It's because everyone looked at the people with a face that would be nice to be close to shame if they were all somewhat dumb.

The people who felt unbearable shyness sat down with their faces reddened, and Asuka and Edwing, who were trying to give ‘soulless action’ awkwardly, quickly lowered their hands.

Only Tefnet smiled silently, and Dan-A-young asked the people with a voice.

[You're a little embarrassed right now, aren't you?]

Instead of answering, the resident hung her head without thinking about her back.
