31The second word overturns the game board (Episode 506)
The man seemed to like the atmosphere of this unfamiliar space..
“How long is the rest?….”
A man muttering quietly with his eyes closed.
Before the food she ordered came out, Kangseol unconsciously tapped the table with her fingers..
Perhaps thinking that was an expression of boredom, the man sitting next to me spoke again..
“Stranger, do you believe that the devil exists in this world??”
Even though he wasn't drunk, the other person's tongue was quite twisted..
‘It's the devil….’
It exists, obviously.
But the devil the other person spoke of seemed different from the devil Kang Seol remembered..
“Because there is evil, there will also be devils..”
“Hehehe… That's a good answer. I mean, I really had to see it. … That being called the devil.”
Sreuk…
A rosary popped out from the man's arms..
“…They make sweet promises casually. Is it to see ourselves falling into a trap and struggling? Puhuhuh.”
A man speaks while rolling a rosary between his fingertips. He seemed to have a story.
“Do you have faith??”
“well… I have always despised faith. It's just the struggles of those who can't achieve anything on their own... But now I can understand them.”
The man chuckled..
“If it's truly an unattainable dream, wouldn't it be a bad idea to pray to an infinite being like this?.”
“If you don't mind, what happened?….”
When Kang Seol asked, the man showed a skeptical attitude..
“It's not something worth telling anyone. still… Thank you for your interest..”
As the opponent becomes defensive, Kang Seol's curiosity reaches this point..
When the food came out, Kang Seol and his group concentrated on eating..
rattle…
Karuna made a sound with a spoon and looked at the snowfall..
nod…
Kang Seol slightly nodded and indicated that it was okay..
‘I'm being targeted.’
I felt like quite a few people were watching this store..
It seems they are the ones who followed Chameli..
‘…It's pretty good?’
The opponent's level was not that low. Of course, not all people were like that, but only some were like that..
If you do anything here, everyone will be involved..
While eating, Kang Seol thought about how best to deal with them..
The best thing is to leave the village and arrive at the meeting point without incident..
That's exactly what Kangseol promised to Chameli. If you leave the village and the enemies attack you, you can make them pay the price..
After finishing their meal, Chameli and his group stood up first..
Grumbling…
“Enjoy your meal, man.!”
“Oh, I see.?”
Karen and Karuna also said hello to the store owner and left..
Before leaving, Kang Seol said goodbye to the man sitting next to her..
“I hope you find a friend.”
“ah? thank you! I also want to say something that will become a memory to a stranger... hmm… . ah! I remembered!”
The man said while looking at the snowfall.
“This is what my friend told me when I faced great despair! Please engrave it happily!”
“…yes.”
“No human can be perfect. So humans... hmm… I think there was something more behind it, but I remember it well.….”
“…Is that the end? I think I heard this somewhere.….”
“How dare you belittle what my friend said? My friend is the best in the world... Well, anyway… Was this helpful??”
Kang Seol looked at the man and smiled..
“enough. then….”
As he left, the man smiled bitterly..
“You're a good person.….”
The strange man sat there quietly and spent some time..
* * *
Two days have passed since I stopped by the small village. Chameli and Kang Seol and their group were heading to their destination without much trouble..
“I'll be there soon.”
When Kang Seol spoke, Chameli laughed. She didn't even know how to express her gratitude that he had brought Chameli here safely out of pure kindness..
one of the pilgrims said.
“I think you may have taken a step in vain, brother..”
Chameli didn't react to those words..
The pilgrim did not mean to be rude, but was stating a simple fact. Snowfall came here to escort them, but nothing happened..
Kang Seol grinned, wondering what the plan was..
And after a while, I felt the presence of the Relic Society..
“Is this the right place, Chameli??”
“yes, that's right.”
“Let's stop the carriage..”
Meeeee profit…
The carriage stopped.
Meeting place with the relic society.
Five or six people took off their hoods..
“Bishop.”
“…You came.”
“Of course, I promised..”
Sigh…
Those who take out the certificate and show it.
Chameli checked the Relic Society's certificate and was convinced that they were Mael's people..
A person who appears to be an important figure in the Relic Society spoke..
“Bishop, but that person….”
“Ah, this person….”
snowfall said.
“I was asked to escort you here. Luckily nothing happened.”
Chameli caught Snowfall trying to leave..
“I….”
“Tell me.”
“That promise is….”
Chameli's pupils shook..
Snowfall has already decided on the answer..
“If you feel anxious, please consider that I am always by your side..”
Snow that spits out words with no meaning.
But Chameli clearly understood what he said..
Chameli smiles brightly.
Seueuugh…
Snowfall, Karen, and Karuna walked away from Chameli's carriage and disappeared at some point..
“Chap, please guide us..”
“It's not a place worth taking a horse-drawn carriage to. There will be traces left... Please pack your bags and follow me..”
“…Of course.”
The name of the man who appears to be leading the members of the Relic Society is Chap. He was trustworthy. Since it was a place with lush greenery, it seemed like the secret place that the relic society had mentioned would be nearby..
While the Chaf and the members of the Relics Society were looking around and keeping watch, one of the pilgrims who was packing up his luggage said,.
“I'm glad, really.….”
“What do you mean?”
“You arrived safely at the meeting point..”
“It's still too early to let down your guard. Chasers may be nearby. our destination is….”
Before Chameli could finish speaking, the pilgrim who served him spoke..
“No, my destination is here?”
“…yes?”
“I'm glad everyone The reason the man left, and the reason the Relic Society didn't send that many people..”
“……you.”
The pilgrim grinned..
“Heresy… You will die here, rotten witch..”
Pak-!
A pilgrim took out a dagger from his chest and rushed at Chameli..
“dare!”
A man who was Chameli's closest associate took out a mace and hit the pilgrim on the head..
Kwazii profit-!
The scene where a person's head explodes in front of your eyes was not very beautiful..
patter…
Brain fluid was splattered everywhere along with blood..
“Chap! It's an attack!”
“We'll prepare! Gather around the carriage!”
“yes!”
pabababat…
A gathering of relics in perfect order.
“…Even though I chose the safest person possible, I can't believe it's like this. I'm sorry, Vicar..”
“It's not your fault. This means that the darkness in the church is that deep.….”
A group of figures walked out of a forest full of trees. What shines through the shabby robes at a glance are the brilliant colors of Baranoa..
Chap asked..
“The authors….”
“They're the Inquisitor's minions.….”
“Uh, why? The interrogator clearly….”
“They are fair and just people. but… Not anymore.”
Chameli looked sad..
Even she couldn't manage her facial expressions in this situation..
“I became a servant of old raccoons. We don't know exactly what the elders of the church are planning, but now heresy is just a justification for weeding out those who go against them..”
At that time, there was someone coming from between the trees with a loud voice..
“stop. Please don't talk too much, Vicar..”
“…Kayas Inquisitor.”
Baranoa Inquisitor Rank 16, Sionel Kayas.
After the war, he suddenly became stronger for some reason..
“You are a heretic, Chameli..”
“on what basis….”
“Because I decided that way.”
Grinning…
A young man with waist-length blonde hair.
The white jade-like skin had no blood whatsoever and felt cool..
sreung…
Kayas takes out a jewel-encrusted sword..
“A strange hybrid got in the way and almost ruined the mission..”
“What are you going to do with us??”
“I wasn't even told that I had to sacrifice my life..”
Chameli seemed to have made a firm decision, biting her lip..
“In that case, we have no choice but to respond strongly..”
“Hardline? how?”
Just as Kayasu was holding his stomach and laughing as if he was bursting out in laughter, a chilling wind blew..
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssd…
When the wind died down, the snowfall disappeared and the two knights rode on Chameli's carriage..
Kayas's eyes narrowed..
“…Did you fool us??”
“To be exact, you were deceived..”
When Snowfall reunited with Chameli, she said.
- My safety will be fine as long as you are by my side.?
- of course.
And after arriving at the meeting point, in a situation where he couldn't let his guard down, Chameli asked once again..
- That promise is….
- If you feel anxious, please consider that I am always by your side..
Kang Seol’s answer sent a signal of its own to her. Please give me a moment, you can rest assured..
“The inquisitor is targeting the diocese, the hierarchy of the Holy Kingdom has collapsed..”
“cheeky….”
“for a moment… But something is strange….”
Kang Seol put her hand on her chin and tilted her head..
“…That's all?”
“what?”
“I'm sure there were more, lots of them. Something….”
The number of pursuers is about twenty..
The number identified in the village was much higher than this..
Also, it was much stronger than this.
‘missing something….’
At that time, a thought passed through Kangseol’s mind..
‘…We're not on the same team.?’
Now I think I understand why the gap in skill between the pursuers was so extreme..
‘…These people didn't know.’
that there are more pursuers.
“What are you talking about??”
they are not here.
At some point, I lost sight of him, so I thought I had chosen to wait and watch from a little further away..
‘If you weren't targeting Chameli, then who?….’
At that time, the unusual man I was sitting with suddenly came to mind. His way of speaking, the information he secretly spilled.
“ah… this.”
I get it.
I wasn't sure, but I felt like I knew the man's identity..
And just because of that possibility, Kang Seol shouldn't have been here..
Maybe the person the man was looking for was himself..
“Karen, please come here..”
“huh? me? uh… okay!”
“…Chameli, I'll explain later..”
“Brother…?”
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss For…
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
He disappeared so quickly that it was doubtful whether Kangseol's new form was even here..
Everyone flinched at the overwhelming speed, but Kayas grinned..
“If you were scared, you shouldn't have even stood in front of me. Isn't it??”
“Hahahahahaha!”
Karen twirled one arm around..
“pilgrim?”
“…yes.”
“What would you like me to do??”
“…….”
When Chameli didn't answer, Karen blurted out..
“Time out, just do it my way.”
Sooooo…
As an unusual energy rose from Karen's body, a barrier was erected in front of Kayas..
The inquisitor's men stand before him, holding weapons..
Kayas admired Karen's sword..
“like… It's a good sword. What I take….”
Paaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
“Ahhhhh!”
“Oh my gosh….”
giant wild boar.
Kayas feels fear as if a wild boar, dozens of times the size of a human, is coming at him from the front..
The barrier was instantly shattered and scattered into pieces..
fit-
A solid red line was drawn on Kayas' neck..
“Tsk… Don't be so fussy!”
Karen widened her eyes..
The solid line on my neck wasn't meant to scare me..
“I got cut?”
Ugh…
A wound that heals in an instant.
Kayas' body was not an ordinary human body..
Faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa-!
Karen's hand held Kayas' face..
However, she has only dealt with people like this once or twice before..
“So what?”
“Wow….”
Quaaaaaaaaa-!
The thunderbolt of fire swirling from his grasp burned even Kayas' death horse..
* * *
“omg… omg….”
Snowfall traveling at high speed through a deserted road. He was now going back the way he came. And with all my might.
There was only one reason he was in such a hurry..
To meet again the strange man I met on a peaceful day..
Perhaps he was being chased by those who smelled danger, and would soon encounter great hardships..
“…I finally remember.”
- This is what my friend told me when I faced great despair! Please engrave it happily!
What a friend of a man I met in the village said to him.
- No human can be perfect. So humans... hmm… I think there was something more behind it, but I remember it well.….
Kang Seol remembered the exact sentence of what the man said..
No human can be perfect. Therefore, humans must move toward perfection through relationships..
- This is for you, Grizz. Anytime, if you need help, let me know.
- flaw… joy! The great Grizz doesn't need anyone's help.!
- Really? Are you planning to say that you don’t need me as a close friend??
- Well, that… Well, it might be different in Milan.….
I finally remembered that unusual way of speaking..
The inventor of the century who shook Pandea.
“Damn… grizz!”
