Chapter 4
4angry survivor
Leon Dragonia Lionheart.
13The Hunter Association and the government were in an awkward position regarding the third survivor to emerge from the Black Gate in 20 years..
Survivors are extremely rare people from another world beyond the gate..
They each lived in different cultures and environments, and some of them were oppressive or hostile to the people of Earth..
There were war heroes sealed in walls of ice, and there were also vampires who lived for eternity..
There were also descendants of dragons and dwarves who dug underground tunnels and defended fortresses..
Although not all of them were easy opponents and each had their own stubbornness, they tended to accept the destruction of their world and be content to be treated as survivors..
Each country's government's policy toward survivors is the same..
somehow pull it in If belonging to the government is too difficult, let them settle in the country..
As the survivors of the destroyed world, there were many who had excellent fighting skills and all of them had something special about them..
Of course, not all survivors were accepted. Among the survivors, there were many who had values that the current human civilization could not accept..
Meanwhile, the latest survivor. Leon was the type of person you didn't know how to deal with..
"What should I do? Should I do something like royal etiquette??"
"note… I watched some historical dramas.……."
Hunter Association manager Kim Jin-su and assistant manager Han Ha-ri looked embarrassed as they looked at their benefactor and survivor who saved them..
Leon Dragonia Lionheart.
Claims to be the king of the Lionheart Kingdom.
He calls himself an agent of the gods, a demigod, and an honorable knight..
Judging by his speech and behavior, he is a person in a society with a strict class system. Three investigators attempted to interrogate him in succession, but were discharged with threatening behavior..
Seolleongtang and kimchi. Refusing to eat food, saying it is food for the common people.
Jjajangmyeon. He showed interest for a moment, but he refused because it was a cheap dish that would inevitably lead to an obscene splatter of soup..
I tried chicken, but it was out of the question because you eat it with your hands..
"……Guessing like a ghost."
"That's right."
He rejected Earth's food as the food of the common people just by looking at its appearance. Thanks to this, he had to have food airlifted from a nearby high-end restaurant..
"Hari… You go first."
"Me? Me? I'm not good at speaking in historical dramas.?!"
"Still, it seems like he has a crush on you. He said he also received compliments.."
"All I did was tell you that I had courage.…!"
Deputy Han Ha-ri was brought in to deal with this difficult survivor. Everyone's conclusion is that since she received Leon's favorable gaze at the gate, she will not be kicked out..
"Ugh……."
Hari carefully approaches Leon, who is elegantly slicing the finest T-bone steak and drinking 1993 red wine..
"Your Majesty... I ask you to be humble during the meal.?"
"Was it the prosecutor at that time? sit down."
I wasn't kicked out right away. Hari sighed cautiously and clenched his fist towards the cracked magic mirror..
I believe that my colleagues beyond are shouting good luck to me..
"Sir, do you like your meal??"
"Not bad. It is a result of the chef's sincerity and long efforts.."
"I'm so glad you liked it... … He has committed a mortal sin by serving lowly food.……."
"There's a misunderstanding."
The blonde man said soothingly as he put down the knife..
"What I pointed out to you is your attitude toward the king.."
"Well, what does that mean??"
"When a member of the royal family meets a representative of another country, he or she must be treated appropriately. This is also connected to the national status of your country.."
"Is that so??"
"Commoners eat as much food as they can. I didn't grow up so spoiled that I had to eat food on the battlefield. However, if you are standing in front of the luggage representing the will of the nation, it means that you must show an appropriate attitude.."
In other words, it wasn't because of the food that caused the fuss..
To be honest, I don't think Hari should just eat it, but if you think about it, wouldn't they serve a McDonald's Big Mac set when a state guest visits?.
"okay. I've been rude for a short period of time.……."
"That's it then. By the way, did you say it was so-and-so?."
"Yeah, yay… They say they will do it for a girl.."
Leon saw Hari imitating the clumsy historical drama speech and did not tell him to speak more comfortably..
Because royalty cannot be treated comfortably by commoners..
"I heard the story of my world."
"ah…."
Leon steadily collected information about this world, even though he was giving back to the investigators..
The investigators also tried to explain as much as possible about the Earth and its situation, so Leon has obtained some information..
"It looks like this place is also undergoing some kind of invasion. Did you say gate? They also appeared in Jim's world.."
"Is that so??"
This was a common testimony in the eyewitness testimonies of survivors..
Gate. door. dimensional rift.
Although called in various forms, they have common characteristics..
"Demons. Those strange things also haunt this earth.?"
"Yeah… That's right."
Hari's mission was one.
The best thing to do is to transfer him to the Hunter Association, which belongs to the Korean government..
The next best option is to somehow settle down in this country called Korea..
The emergence of survivors always attracts the attention of governments. They are trying every possible way to incorporate it into their country..
21Scouting survivors is at the center of the world's espionage war..
What is Leon worth? From the perspective of a survivor, there is nothing to say..
Combat power? It has already been proven by several association employees..
The problem is the insistence on an overbearing class system and the uniqueness, but when you actually talk to them, they are not that difficult to talk to. Above all──
'This person is very confident in his own worth..'
Taking a high-handed stance toward strangers from another world is proof of confidence..
Among the survivors, there were many who were shabby types and tended to bend to some degree towards the state..
A single person cannot defeat a huge group called a nation. Because I instinctively know that nothing good will come of turning me into an enemy..
But this man named Leon is truly the pinnacle of pride and self-esteem..
He confidently asked for things he did not know and insisted on providing what he needed right away..
Since you are the ultimate boss of the class system that considers yourself noble, you have no choice but to be confident no matter who you deal with..
"your majesty… I wish to inform you, Your Majesty, that if Your Majesty grants permission, the government of the Republic of Korea will take over your future position.."
"what does that mean?"
Hari slowly presented him with a choice..
How to become a national hunter.
How to settle down and find another way.
Whatever it is, the association has shown its intention to spare no support for survivors. In particular, it is emphasized that if you become a national hunter, the support is enormous..
The higher-ups in the association still don’t know about Leon’s value. However, if his value is recognized, he will be willing to attract Leon to Korea..
"This place is being invaded by evil species. An honorable knight must fight. Once you have settled in your world, you have a duty to head to the battlefield.."
"I see.!"
Hari's face brightened. Isn’t he a person with more sound thoughts than I thought??
Among the survivors, there were many demons and those who refused to enter the gate. He said he had no obligation to intervene in another world's fight..
However, they are still poor people who took all the survivor settlement support money without exception..
At least this person doesn't seem to be that shameless..
"Then, if you become a member of our hunter association,──"
"No, a king cannot enter under another king's military gate.."
uh? What does this mean??
Hari looked puzzled..
I also thought about the possibility that it would not belong to the government. Hari himself thought that joining the association would not benefit him..
But if what he said is true, doesn't that mean he will refuse to join other hunter guilds??
"Jim will establish a new order of knights in this world.."
Hari could only nod his head at Leon's ambitious declaration..
* * * *
"Things are turning strangely.."
Manager Jinsoo Kim scratched the top of his head as he put together Leon’s story. Still, Hari gave a positive evaluation..
"It's not bad, is it? Still, I had enough will to fight.."
"That's right. It doesn't look like he's trying to go to another country.."
A survivor with conditions as good as Leon is rare among all survivors..
Has sufficient force and will to enter the gate, and is not hostile to the current world..
Being a human being in a caste-based society is a bit flawed, but that doesn't mean you're acting against self-interest..
"Still, when I was told I had to meet the president, I was appalled.."
"eww… They didn't give me permission.?"
"What if we meet and stab each other? That person's sword can be inserted into subspace at will and summoned.."
"There is no subspace pocket, what is the principle??"
If, by any chance, a survivor swings a sword at the President... It is truly a national disaster..
"What are you going to do??"
"What… We need to support it as much as possible."
This is the conclusion reached at the end of the association’s meeting..
Gain his favor and provide as much support as possible to help him settle in this country..
It was worth it even if it meant spending an astronomical amount of money for him..
"In our country, the power of the government is too weak.……."
"This is all because of the large guilds who only care about money and power.."
Korea's chronic diseases that had taken root were still making the country sick..
"By the way, before we go into black, didn't a scarlet color pop up recently? On the Honam Plain."
"Yes, I got it from the Firebird Guild.."
"It should work out... If something happened there, it would be a really big problem.."
After the cataclysm, the world was devastated as dungeon breaks occurred everywhere..
The problem with Dungeon Break isn't just the abundance of monsters. As the crack in the gate opened, 'magic energy' leaked out along with the monsters..
Magic energy is a fatal poison that erodes space and curses the land. The land eroded by Maso had to be purified for at least a year before crops could be planted..
In other words, the dungeon break in the granary area is so critical that it determines the farming season for that year..
"The Phoenix Guild is still the place where S-class hunter Lee Yong-wan is located. Even the scarlet gate isn't that difficult.."
"……yes."
Manager Kim Jin-su wondered whether he should tell Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri about the intelligence he had come across from the National Intelligence Service..
Recently, the Phoenix Guild has been making suspicious moves since its request for exemption from the government was rejected..
-Beep beep!
"uh?"
At that time, Manager Kim Jin-su and Assistant Manager Han Ha-ri's phones vibrated at the same time. Beep! Beep! With an ominous siren sound.
[Honam Plain Gate Dungeon break occurs. All available employees are placed on emergency standby..]
The two people who confirmed the message shouted in unison.
""Firebird Guild, you bastards!!""
* * * *
It seemed like he thought he couldn't hear it because he was behind the magic mirror, but he was clearly aware of the sound coming from beyond..
His blessed body has already left the human body. He is a living saint. In other words, he is a demigod..
'Looks like you're in trouble.'
Dungeon break wasn't the problem. The problem was that the dungeon break occurred in the granary area..
From what I heard, when a dungeon break occurs, the land gets polluted and crops stop growing.…….
'Looks like it isn't there anymore.'
Through him, Leon became convinced that ‘it’ did not exist on this Earth..
'The fact that people say things like ‘harvest failure’ and ‘famine harvest’ is very clear evidence..
'Demera. Are you at peace??'
He asked about her well-being at the 'temple' hidden in his heart..
────
She willingly responded to the agent of the pantheon.
