I Became God of War's Youngest Disciple - Episode 202
202fury
Of course, it's none of my business who Badniker is pretending to be with. Like I said, I have no regrets about the family I grew up in..
However, there are two main reasons why I want to stop this Sadal.…….
First, in any case, Badniker is the family most active in subjugating the church..
As the power of this family weakens, the dark church becomes more active..
It may sound a little ridiculous to say that the power of just one family can have a direct influence on the empire's greatest enemy.…….
It's not a joke, it's the truth.
Even if we remove the suppressing power of just one Iron Blood Ball, the power of Badniker has long surpassed that of a single family..
Even I, who actually became the head of a small family, don't even know half of my family's history..
and second.
In fact, this is the main reason: to closely observe the thoughts of Sanghyeolgong..
Of course, there is no compromise for the Iron Blood Lord when it comes to the Church and the devil..
Probably the same goes for your children..
What I want to see is how far this bloodlineist will allow his relatives to wander, deviate, or degenerate..
If you're trying to kill Risen just because he had some connection with the devil,…….
I think Iron Blood Ball is wrong and needs to change..
In any case, a person who is stuck will have many enemies..
I will not go so far as to tell you to bend your beliefs or compromise with your archenemy..
However, we should not be mistaken about the direction in which hatred and resentment should go. Especially if you are a person as strong as Sanghyeolgong..
‘Because that guy also needs flexibility..’
First of all, the Ryzen I've seen so far hasn't committed a crime worth dying for..
Compared to the fact that the youngest child's true identity is a priest of a religious order, it's at the level of cuteness..
“Luan, the suppression is roughly over here..”
“I didn't kill him?”
“huh.”
“good job.”
I thought for a moment and said again.
“Guys here, stand guard for a moment..”
“you?”
“I have to go backstage for a moment..”
“alone?”
Haro asked in a somewhat harsh voice..
It even sounded like he was asking why you were going there alone..
Before I could say anything, Jial spoke coldly..
“just let me go.”
“What?”
“It's related to family. Hello, that's not our part..”
“Ugh.”
Haro flinched as if he had hit the nail on the head and muttered in a low voice..
“…I understand.”
“okay. Then please.”
I nodded and headed straight to the backstage..
Although it was bright on stage, the seats were still dark. Thanks to this, I was able to move without exposing myself..
“1,000gold!”
“1,100gold!”
“Damn it, 1,500 gold.!”
The auction was in full swing. Slowly, the amount of money that made even me tremble was coming out here and there.…….
At this point, I had no idea how much the devil, the highlight of today's auction, would sell for..
I was finally able to get to the backstage in the heated auction atmosphere..
I rarely saw people who looked like auction officials, let alone people who disturbed me along the way..
It seemed like most of the people at the auction house were the guys I just fought with..
“what are you!”
“This is a place you shouldn't enter.!”
However, behind the stage, where the soon-to-be auction items were stored, there were four or five people who appeared to be security guards..
Fortunately, I see that they are not wearing animal masks, so most of them seem to be small intestines..
puffer puck.
“Ouch.”
“Bent.”
“Heo Eok…….”
I quickly subdued the small bastards and then looked around..
“…….”
I saw slaves locked in iron cages..
I know something about the attitude of slaves..
Of course, the majority of those who are struggling are lost in negativity, pessimism, and despair, and those who are still alive are devoured by soggy hatred and anger..
Whether you were a slave from birth or became a slave for some reason.…….
Being a slave is what makes people like that..
But the attitude these guys show is…….
“Oh, it's narrow so I'll have to rummage around. Get off to the side!”
“Yes, all you have to do is fold your dove-like wings..”
“Do you know how easy it is? Damn it, some idiot put Lizardmen and Ikcheons in the same place.?”
“The auction is taking longer than I thought... … . I'm feeling sleepy.”
“pestilence. Even if I just won the lottery, it would have been submitted a long time ago..”
“…….”
What should I say about this?.
It feels like you are experiencing the experience of being a slave locked in a cage, rather than a slave locked in a cage.?
These guys didn't even say a word when I knocked down the guard. Some guys even whistled.
At that time, my eyes met a pretty-looking fairy woman..
“Hey… Gonom indeed…….”
“……?”
“handsome.”
“…….”
The fairy woman smiled and asked.
“You are from a well-to-do family, right? huh? Right?”
“I didn't grow up without it.”
“Then buy me some. I am good at using elemental magic and can read ancient languages to some extent. He is still only 120 years old. Cheer up.”
“You're babbling.”
At that time, a grumpy voice intervened..
It was a dwarf in a cage next to a fairy..
“This guy is 300 years old this year. Plus he's a guy.”
“You crazy bastard! Why are you interfering with other people's business?!”
“Heng. It's revenge from last time. Rather, how about me? Even though I'm from the South, I also lived in the system for 50 years. I also have a diploma from the Artisan School. Anything is possible, from painting to sculpture, calligraphy, crafts, and architecture. Plus, the price now is only 500 gold! how is it? Cheap, right? right?”
“Don't get caught! This kid has poor eyesight and is going to go blind soon? You'll have to call a high priest of the Sun Church to fix the eye, but that will cost at least a few hundred more gold.!”
“This crazy bitch?”
I approached the two people arguing..
Somehow these two were the most energetic among the slaves..
“Let me ask you something..”
“huh? Uh, but…….”
fairy woman.
No, the fairy man said, tilting his head..
“When did we meet? Why does it look so familiar?.”
“There are fairies among my ancestors..”
“aha. But it seems a little annoying.”
“Because she's a black fairy.”
“aha.”
Fairies and black fairies clearly have the same ancestors, but in fact, they are no better than other races..
Although the race is the same, the tendencies and cultures are completely different, so I remember that there was a lot of backlash when the seven races were grouped into one 'fairy race'..
Now that I think about it, it was said that the more similar creatures are, the more reluctant they are.?
As a human being, wouldn't a talking gorilla be more unpleasant than a talking pig?.
“good. Ask me anything. What am I curious about??”
“Even though they are slaves, they don't seem particularly dissatisfied with their situation..”
“yes? Did I end up like this because I was acting like a fool by myself?.”
“that's right. In the first place, [Xyren Trading]'s contract was said to be relatively fair in the industry..”
“Xiren Trading Company?”
“huh. When I borrowed money from [Xyren Company], I signed that I would become a slave if I couldn't pay it back..”
“…….”
Xiren… … . Is this an energram of Raizen? It looks like he probably built it himself..
it's not unexpected.
To run an underground auction of this scale, enormous financial resources are essential..
“To be considered a slave just because you can't pay back some money, aren't the conditions too much??”
“Not really. Horses are slaves, and ownership is not passed on to future generations, so they gain freedom when the owner dies. As short as 20 years, as long as 30 to 40 years? Oh, of course, it would be a long enough time from a human standpoint.…….”
“In addition, if you are abused, imprisoned, or treated in any way inhumanely, you can terminate the contract at any time..”
“then… Isn't the word slave, just a concept like long-term employment??”
“yes?”
“…….”
Then this is not a slave auction..
In reality, it is no different from a brokerage company that mediates employers and workers..
Of course, it's somewhat distorted, but-.
‘then…….’
This means that most of the slaves here have agreed to their current situation.…….
Other things, such as selling the eggs and chicks of monsters and spirit beasts, were not particularly illegal in the empire..
In other words, Abyss Auction cannot be said to be legal, but it is on the vague line of being considered illegal at all..
‘If it weren't for just one thing.’
Just one guy from the catalog.
There is a product that attracts not only imperial law, but also iron-blooded craftsmen..
The devil.
At first, I thought Ryzen was crazy, but the more I heard the story, the more I wondered. Risen was surprisingly a guy who knew how to keep the line..
In the first place, business is a series of tightrope walks..
Transactions, commercial district formation, territorial disputes, distribution network formation, etc... … . If there is even one mistake in the numerous processes, it will result in immediate loss..
In that context, it is true that Ryzen's talent is extraordinary if he has the financial power to organize an auction of this size..
‘It stinks..’
Did I miss something??
I thought about it for a moment and then asked the two people again..
“Have you ever seen the devil??”
“devil? Ah, I heard it. I didn't see it. I didn't know he could handle something like that..”
“It's possible because it's Xiren Trading Company. They say there is nothing that cannot be handled at Abyss Auction, right? They say you can get everything if you just give money..”
“right. And I heard there are a lot of people asking for the devil at this auction..”
“Why??”
“So the devil almost descended from the islands, right? One of the great wizards got caught up in it and retired..”
Sources are surprisingly clear on the topic of slavery..
Did the merchant show me a newspaper?.
“Now, wherever you go, that's all you talk about..”
“It's not unreasonable. The devil was a being that could only be found in literature, but something like that suddenly appeared in the middle of the system. Of course people who are corrupting money will be interested..”
In the first place, the fairy added, “There are a lot of people like that in the Xyren Company’s connections.”.
“Abyss Auction has never ignored customer demands. If the customer wants, we can get ice even in the desert. That kind of trust and belief is the greatest strength of Xiren Trading Company..”
“…….”

Ryzen Badniker’s tendencies.
The testimony I just heard, and the existence of the devil.
The moment each individual clue came together in my mind, a conclusion was suddenly drawn..
‘No way, this bastard……?’
While feeling embarrassed, my feet moved immediately..
“Uh, huh? wait for a sec! Since you answered everything, I'm going to buy it for you.?”
“no! Me rather than this cutie!”
“That's it!”
Where is Ryzen??
To begin with, the space behind the stage was quite large, so it wasn't easy to find..
So, I decided to think from the perspective of Sanghyeolgong rather than Ryzen..
If I were an iron smith, how would I break in??
‘As the most inconspicuous grade.’
Overall, black was the most…….
The one that appears to be at the lowest level is white. Of course, it was the largest number..
Probably Sanghyeolgong and Pacheongeom would have participated in the auction house at White level..
If it was the spirit of those two, they would have definitely picked up the noise of the battle that took place where Risen was..
At that time, most of the auction house's response forces were focused on us, so it would have been perfect for moving secretly..
‘Sanghyeolgong doesn't want to reveal himself in this matter..’
To begin with, the level of security here was not that high..
As an Iron Blood Ball, I didn't even get a scratch even if I hit it alone..
Nevertheless, Sanghyeolgong asked for help from me, Pacheongeom, and his two disciples. It means wanting to finish work relatively quietly..
‘Wolf told Ryzen to check behind the stage, but…….’
Now that I see it, that statement may have been a fake to confuse us..
In fact, even though I was searching this place, I couldn't see Ryzen..
In other words, wasn't the word [behind the stage] itself a push from Risen and Wolfman??
Then the true intention is…….
‘Run away from here now?’
Hwaak!
I activated Hwaan Geumjeong and looked around..
The eyes, which are equipped with not only darkness but also clairvoyance, fully grasped the surrounding situation.-.
A hidden staircase leading to the rooftop, the back of Ryzen's head could be seen climbing it quickly..
But Ryzen doesn’t seem to have realized it..
There's a messenger waiting at the end of the stairs.
‘Ah-oh……!’
Immediately step on the thunderbolt.
Electric current flashed in my field of vision..
I felt my joints creaking as I spent the holidays in a state where I was definitely not in good shape..
I quickly crossed the backstage area, found a hidden staircase, and quickly climbed up it..
At that time, Raizen and Sanghyeolgong encountered each other..
The moment Raizen's body flinched, the Iron Blood Ball had already finished striking.…….
Risen must have had a good sense of vision, and was seen twisting his body to avoid the sword attack..
But the opponent is an iron-blooded baller..
I couldn't avoid the damage from the blade or the sword wind that came from the sword..
Just before the eerie wind was about to reach Raizen, I arrived just in the nick of time..
Wow!!
First herbivorous burning.
The outstretched fist blocked the sharp wind..
“Fuhuu……!”
A shiver runs down my spine..
The first reason is that Ryzen is dead even if it is a little late.…….
The second reason is that I just felt that the Sanghyeolgong's sword was unusual..
Sanghyeolgong's head tilted slightly..
“what?”
Although it was a short question, it contained a lot of meaning. I knew that if I started talking nonsense, the point of the knife would be pointed at me..
I twisted my mouth and said.
“I think you're making a mistake..”
“mistake?”
“yes. Ryzen shouldn't be killed.”
“…….”
Sanghyeolgong asked the reason with his gaze... I expressed the conclusion I had drawn..
“Because there was no devil here to begin with..”
I looked back and said.
“Am I right? older brother.”
“…….”
Raizen was silent with a strange expression..
