Chapter 365
However, now that I am aware of my inner self and have escaped from the confines. There’s nothing stopping it.
break and crumble Things that have turned into materials eventually come to this land with a new form. As part of the gold country.
The Golden Goblet proceeded to create certain destruction for the sake of true creation.
The legions surrounding us retreated. Or should I say that the Legion withdrew? The golden palace itself moved, and it felt as if the world was moving forward.
Hilde, who watched until they were far enough away, sighed in relief and turned around. After that, she approached me with a lively attitude.
“As expected, Father! I believed in ‘me’!”
‘Oh my goodness? Are you successful with this? I thought it would stir up a lot of anger!’
What you mean and what you say are completely different. How dare you lie in front of me? I got up and replied.
“You believed it? really?”
“Sure. If ‘I’ don’t believe, who will believe in you? I am the one who knows my father better than anyone else!”
“You know what? You put saliva on your lips and lie.”
“Lick. I applied it!”
“Spitting on it means lying.”
“Ah! Caught!”
Hilde didn’t trust me 100%. Rather than doubting my strength, it’s because I hoped that this plan would go awry, but seeing that he followed and cooperated with the plan even during that time, it’s crazy. Do you have the mindset of a gambler or are you just too immersed in acting?
Anyway, as Hilde said, the mission was a success. War will not happen.
The problem is because of the side effects that it will lead to… How do I explain this? It will take some thought.
More than anyone else…
“…what happened? Where is the golden mirror going?”
How to explain to Peru. I’ll have to seriously think about it here. even for my life.
Let’s quickly explain and move on. Could you please list it in an easy to understand way?
“everyone. I have good news and I have bad news.”
Hilde took my words in a theatrical tone.
“Why are you suddenly afraid? If the news is ‘bad’ even to my father, will the world end tomorrow?”
“no. The world will not perish.”
“…?”
‘What do you mean? Could it be that something else will perish? Oh no way!’
I understand you well. why don’t you respond to this? I spoke rather quickly because if I waited longer, I might miss the golden time.
“I’ll tell you the good news first.”
“Is there no choice? I wanted to hear the bad news first.”
“It’s done. After I had a serious conversation with Hwang Keum-gyeong, I don’t think a war with the military will happen!”
Hey, why is the reaction so cold? It must be good news, but the response is smaller than expected. Hilde whined reluctantly at the news I delivered.
“That’s not very good news for ‘me’, is it? I’d rather go to war As long as you put away the golden gyeong, the nations are no big deal~.”
“…any bad news?”
Peru interrupted Hilde and urged me on.
grunt Did you try to lessen the shock with good news, but failed? Attitude matters from now on. Clearing my throat, I delivered the bad news with a hint of regret.
“The Golden Sutra intends to destroy the nations.”
It was a plain truth, nothing was added or taken away. Maybe it was because it was too light without being oily? Peru and Hilde both pondered on the words for a while, not understanding immediately.
Hilde, who had come to her senses relatively early, tilted her head.
“what? Is this good news for ‘me’?”
What’s good news for some could be a terrible tragedy for others. Learn the truth of life here.
Peru asked with a disbelieving face.
“…uh?”
‘…what? What did you do? The golden mirror is the reason.’
“I will briefly explain. The Peruvian Golden Bell is a relic of the Golden Sutra. I was going to take a test to be recognized as a memento. However, I won’t take the test so that it doesn’t look like a keepsake, and I’ll keep rebuilding the gold country. What is it? So they criticized me for being like this, where I was eaten up by wildcats in two days and left no shape. Then, well.”
To be precise, the golden mirror passed my test, but anyway. It’s roughly the same, so let’s skip it. I spit on my mouth and continued.
“I didn’t say anything, but he said that he would kill all the wildcats in order to give permanence to the golden kingdom that was about to disappear!”
“…lie. It can’t be.”
“I wish I was lying too. Please confirm it. You probably don’t have much time. Because the Golden Jing has now moved to burn the Seungnyang’s nest.”
At the last moment, Golden Kyung recalled somewhere. I read the location before being ricocheted back into reality.
The reason why the nations became semi-nomadic states is because the Golden Goblet is moving. People of the nations must avoid him who destroys for the sake of creation and eat the by-products he left behind. Therefore, no one was able to make a residence and became a wanderer.
but only one place. Only one village located at the foot of the mountain is out of reach of the golden landscape, and thus has become the only settled city in the country.
Ruled by the greatest Lord of Heaven, Lord of Heaven, a city that teaches alchemy to children and provides wholesome food to escape the curse of the Golden Sutra.
“Claudia. It is the only settled land and the most populated city in all countries.”
Hwang Geum-gyeong, who had only been making things for the reconstruction of the Golden Kingdom, changed his attitude.
‘Geumguk’ left without an inhabitant becomes food for seungnyang. If so, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone if you kill all the seungnyang and use it as a homunculus to protect the golden country? With such a conclusion, I am moving to catch seungnyangi and use them as watchdogs.
The Golden Sutra, a keepsake, will try to kill the seungnyang with rational and methodological means, and the simplest method cannot be overlooked. moral? it belongs to the living It wouldn’t matter to Golden Kyung, who had already died horribly.
“The Golden Sutra will destroy it from there and turn everyone living there into a homunculus. As a homunculus that protects the golden kingdom forever!”
Not to mention, the new homunculus that the golden mirror would create would be on a different level from now. Hwang Keum-gyeong, who was greatly disappointed in humans, didn’t really ‘design’ humans until I unbridled them! How far can a sincere golden mirror make a human being? How far are you human?
As the human king, I’m also curious, but before that, Peru reached out and pulled me by the collar. The back is bent in a bow.
“…What did you do…?”
Peru was glaring at me with the greatest emotion she had ever seen.
Hilde tried to stop Peru, but I stopped him with a wink. The human mind is like a boiling pot, and in this case, you have to let the steam out once to calm down quickly.
You can’t help it. The country looks ruined. Well, I’ll welcome it with open arms when rumors spread that the military is doomed.
I said with parched lips.
“I didn’t expect this result either. I didn’t even know it would turn out like this. But…”
He chose his words with the most regretful expression as he looked at the golden palace disappearing far away.
“The golden mirror wanted this result. He was not a ruler of nations, but a rebuilder of gold. To him, even the nations were one of the nations that had to be destroyed. The problem is that they have the strength and the will to actually destroy them. Well, that would also be the dignity of the golden mirror.”
No matter what I do, I cannot force the golden mirror to do anything. This is the will of the golden gyeong himself.
Realizing that, Peru grabbed my teeth and shook my collar. My strength wasn’t superhuman, so I balanced easily. Peru, who glared at me resentfully, turned her back and muttered self-mockingly.
“…I wasn’t helping you.”
“Help? There is a misunderstanding, Peru.”
Even if I admit everything else, it’s a bit unfair.
“I didn’t bring Peru to serve our purpose. It was quite helpful, but similar results would have been achieved without Peru.”
The Golden Juggernaut of Peru guaranteed a pleasant trip. That’s definitely true.
In other words, that’s all.
Even if there was no golden box, we would have found the golden palace far away, met with the golden mirror, and we would have run amok like now. It’s a matter of whether it takes more or less time, and it’s decided that far. The regressor and I had the will to do so, and the obstacles were insignificant.
rather change.
“The reason I came with Peru is rather to help Peru.”
“…Help me?”
Even without Peru, this journey that has taken place so far happens the same. Even if you are not a prophet, you know that much.
But after this time it’s different.
“Without you, the nations perished just like that. After hearing my words, Hwang Geum-gyeong would have made the same choice. But, of course, you are here right now. A hoeju with the power of jannok that makes all alchemy powerless and useless.”
Jannokhoeju Peru’s unique magic is the natural enemy of alchemy. Her power not only blocks alchemy, but also denies the underlying power. She doesn’t even have a homunculus.
That’s why Peru is at the antipode of the golden age.
The people of the nations need the Golden Sutra, but they cannot keep it by their side. The golden mirror makes necessary things out of everything that is not needed, so others are not needed in his world. Even access is not allowed unless he is at the level of Hoeju, who can ‘communicate’ with Hwanggeumgyeong.
On the other hand, people of the nations do not need Peru… but he has no hesitation in approaching her. With her own magic, she needs others, so she doesn’t hurt them. It is safe to keep by your side, and you can ask for help when you need help.
Does that kind of power make a character? Did he gain strength because of his personality? I’m not sure about that cause either.
“Peru. Have you always wanted to use your abilities for something worthwhile? But Jannok’s power wipes out the alchemy value. In the first place, your wish could not come true. As long as the value you think is ‘annuity value’.”
If a man who can live alone places no value on other human beings. So if you’re trying to get rid of everyone else.
That is the moment when the wind of Peru comes true.
“However, the scale that measures the world is not a two-armed scale. Annuity value is not the only scale. The ‘nations’ that the golden mirror is trying to destroy are of no value to him, but they will be valuable to you. Should I stop it somehow?”
“…you.”
“The first and possibly the last chance. This is your chance to defend the country you were born in and stop the revered Golden Goblet from becoming a disaster.”
The unique magic of Jannokhoeju. It is not the embodiment of the image or the desired ability. The power of Jannok has only a negative value in the nations.
She wanted to help the nations. So I did farming and chased the enemy. Under her care you will not become rich, but you will not be in danger of being plundered. If you attack, you have nothing to lose.
Peru always hoped for a chance to help someone.
And the opportunity came. Peru, realizing that fact, answered in a small, trembling voice.
“…I didn’t want this.”
Seriously. After all, the opportunity to make your wish come true doesn’t come only at the right time. Rather, it will appear only at the moment when the deficiency is at its peak.
Even if you didn’t want it, it doesn’t matter. I can give up an opportunity, but I can’t afford to miss it. I stretched out my finger. Pointing at the back of the golden mirror that could not be seen in the distance, he urged Peru.
“go. to make your wishes come true.”
There is no more time. Fearing that he might miss the golden mirror, Peru ran with clenched fists.
The tents erected for war have also disappeared. The soldiers also withdrew. All that is left now is the road where the royal road of the golden landscape begins.
“Eh, that’s hard.”
I’ve been suffering from the world of images until a while ago. My body is fine, but my mind is a little tired.
Hilde approached me as I sat down at the beginning of the road. Hilde asked me with a lot of curiosity.
“Father, was it for this that you brought Peru?”
‘Did you choose Peru as the antithesis of the golden age from the beginning? To heighten the story of the nations with the conflict between the two?’
