BXBX NOVEL Chapter 300
I had a dream.
It was a dream of Neliard, the ancient god Serga and the pioneers.
Neliard, who looks like a young man, shouted sharply at Serga.
[There are many hungry and sick people, but those who have the power lock their warehouses and share nothing with the poor. God, why do you keep watching?]
[Because I have to watch over them.]
[Isn’t it the role of God to embrace humans? We must take grain from those who have it and give it to the hungry. The children are starving.There are parents who can’t do anything but cry while watching their dying children]
[What happens after I take away the grain?]
[Huh?]
[If that moment comes again, they will lean on me. In the end, humans will only obey the fate created by God.]
[So you’re just going to watch the pitiful people dying?]
Neliard rushed to Serga.
The invisible pioneers hurriedly hold him, but Neliard shouted with a bulging vein on his neck.
[As expected, you don’t want to do anything. Just like when I’m looking at the dying Leblaine!]
[…….]
[You don’t know how painful that is. Because humans are just your entertainment!]
The pioneers who were by Serga’s side pushed Neliard.
[Disrespectful!]
[Stop it, Neliard!]
A familiar face was seen among the pioneers.
Boone with a troubled expression, Pur, who alternately looks at Neliard and Serga without knowing what to do, and Pymon, who hardened.
Several pioneers overpowered Neliard and pulled him out. While being dragged away, he couldn’t stop shouting.
[Why did you create a human being? Why did you give emotion to a human being who is only a tool to shake off your loneliness!]
[…….]
[Damn Serga, I hate you!]
Serga turned his head out of the window.
Neliard, who was dragged out, was pushed by pioneers as he covered his eyes with his hands.
After bowing his head for a while, he got up helplessly.
When she trudged to the log house under the temple, someone was running around in front of the house.
[What are you doing, Leblaine.]
[I brought the firewood from Aunt York’s house. Did you eat yet?]
The ancient me smiled brightly and looked at Neliard.
Neliard looked gently at the skinny me.
I had thin clothes even in the middle of winter and thin cheeks.
I look so skinny compared to people my age.
[Did you eat well? I told you to eat well even when I’m not around.]
[I can take care of myself!]
Growl.
When my tactless stomach cried, I smiled awkwardly.
Neliard closed his eyes tightly as if holding back his anger.
[People don’t even give much for the altar. Did you give it out to people again?]
[That’s…]
[You’re the only reason I live, why…why…]
His voice got distorted, and I shook my hands without knowing what to do.
[It’s not like that. I eat two meals a day…!]
[…….]
Neliard turned around. Looking at him moving away from home helplessly, I shouted anxiously.
[Brother, where are you going? Hey!]
Neliard, who reached the river, collapsed.
He covered his misty eyes with his hands and cried silently.
At that time, someone grabbed his shoulder.
A beautiful woman with wavy hair.
‘Gremory.’
Then I realized.
‘I’m not looking at my dream right now. This is the memory of Gremory.’
Gremory called him in a quiet voice.
[Neliard.]
[… How long does human suffering last?]
[…….]
[If the pain disappears, my sister won’t have to share everything she has.]
He cried and his face distorted.
[Hold my hand, not Serga’s.]
[…….]
[Promise me that you will create a world where my sister can be happy, Gremory]
[…….]
[Help me.]
Gremory, who made eye contact with Neliard, replied in a quiet voice.
[Okay.]
Gremory cared deeply about humans, so she gained the ‘wisdom’ of healing.
She was a woman of the same age as Neliard, and the two were close friends.
Neliard followed Serga around to save the sick humans even before he went to war with God.
And when the war broke out…….
[Gremory, you traitor! Why do you betray God and follow Neliard!]
…… she held Neliard’s hand.
Because she loved humans so much.

“Ugh!”
When I woke up from the dream, I gasped while holding my sleeve.
Looking around, I can see a familiar wall.
‘My room…’
It seemed to have returned from the Calosi ship.
I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead with the back of my hand and breathed out.
“Are you okay, child?”
It was the voice of Gremory.
I was surprised and looked to the side.
She, who had a human body, was looking at me.
I could also see Adrian with an expressionless face.
“Gremory showed me the dream, right?”
“I can’t answer it.”
“The devil under Neliard cannot be under me, the child of fate.”
Because she couldn’t say anything, she showed me the ancient memories.
I sighed.
‘If it’s a devil under Neliard, she couldn’t be under me.’
I want to let her know.
Because it could be wrong to say that I want to make her serve me.
“Didn’t you kill no one, Gremory?”
“The humans?”
“Yes. So, you remember the ancient times.”
“Smart kid.”
I sighed.
“Why did I faint?”
“Because you signed a contract with me. When devils and humans sign contracts, devils usually receive human lifespan or soul. But I couldn’t take your life and soul away from you, who is my son’s mate and my close friend.”
“Is that why you take my divine power instead?”
“Yes.”
“How can I end this contract?”
“If you let me go back.”
“Should I grant your wish?”
Gremory nodded and I asked.
“What’s your wish?”
“……. Persuade my friend.”
I narrowed my forehead.
Gremory’s friend would be Neliard.
“Meet Neliard? That’s impossible. God Serga said it. Neliard lost his body and wandered around for a long time, so only resentment remained.”
“What if you had a chance to meet him?”
“…… What?”
“If he loses his senses because he doesn’t have a body, I can give it.”
“Is there a vessel or body capable of receiving the spirit of God?”
Gremory slowly approached me.
She grabbed my cheek lightly and spoke in a friendly voice.
“Do you know why humans know how to summon devils?”
“…how to summon devils?”
“The summoner of Glashalabolas is Vallua, Nodelli had Ivan’s record, and the Marquis of Chantele is my summoner.”
I was startled.
“How do you know that?”
“You must not forget that I was once the Empress of this Empire. I know more than you think.”
“…How did Vallua, Nodelli and Chantelle become summoners?”
“I can’t say it. But if you’re smart, you can guess.”
When she said that, she said as if giving a hint.
“I can give birth to children. I’m Adrian’s mother.”
“……!”
I hold my breath.
“Even the devil can have children! Those of devil blood could be summoners.”
“You’re really smart.”
When she said that, she smiled, and I asked with my eyes wide open.
“But it’s weird, Adrian has a lot of power. It’s probably because she’s the son of Gremory. Why don’t other families have that kind of power?”
“Because I am the only devil in female form.”
“No way…….”
Perhaps the male devil will become a human and combine with a woman as she give birth.
However, Gremory, a female devil, gives birth to children herself. The amount of power transmitted is bound to be different.
“There are very few devils that can transform into a female body. But if they turn into a woman and give birth to a child, they can’t transmit more power.”
“So those summoners have devil’s blood?”
“Yes.”
“Then you’re saying there are people who have inherited the blood of Neliard?”
