101 – The Forgotten Age of Mythology (3)
The first chapter dealing with the story of Hendricks Luther, the first hero, is coming to an end soon.
So we need to prepare for the story of the two generations.
For that reason, we called a meeting to look into the hero’s story again.
But somehow the atmosphere was a bit strange compared to the last meeting.
Should I say it’s a strange tension that seems like something could happen?
Except for Taz and the demons, everyone seems to be on edge.
Hmm, is that so?
The story of the first hero was related to the demons.
Then maybe there is a story like that in our tribe or faction.
Anyway, it felt like that kind of anticipation was creating this kind of tension.
ㅡ Whoops.
Mistress Helena looked around at the people gathered in the conference room with a happy expression.
You look like this, but sometimes I feel maternal love for some reason, so it’s strange….
“Then, since everyone has gathered, let’s look at the story of the second hero, Emperor Julius Drugaia.”
As soon as I said that, the eyes of those who were fighting strangely focused on me.
Aslan was the first to respond.
“Emperor… You give a strange title, Bright.”
“Because he is actually the emperor. Both in the original world and here.”
“Did the hero politicize?”
It seemed that Aslan and the beastmen did not like him very much.
Anyway, this is a natural reaction since they are the race that is the most distant from politics.
“Come on, Aslan. Why is the warrior so embarrassed?”
“Calm those twitching lips and talk, Taz.”
The two engaged in a strange war of nerves.
“Tsk. Let’s get started.”
The demons had already achieved their long-cherished wish and were in a state of abundance.
So, it seemed like they were urging me to move on with the story as if it was judged that even if I fought, I would only lose my strength.
“Then let’s begin.”
We left the meeting room and headed to the room where the blankets had been laid out beforehand.
Now, let’s talk about the 2nd hero.
What kind of story awaits this time….
***
The first hero, Hendricks Luther, left Mare.
The death squad with him became the beginning of the demons and settled down, and Mare, which had been devastated, gradually began to regain its green color.
But peace did not come yet.
This is because the secret society that brought about the disaster remained in Mare.
The secret society, which barely escaped anger, hid into darkness.
Then he began to study new powers by analyzing the disaster that had occurred in Mare.
It has become difficult to extract God’s grace from an intelligent body, but a new energy source that glows with moonlight has been obtained.
If this is the case, another study may be possible.
The secret society began to study magic again.
First of all, it was an analysis of the disaster that devastated Mare.
Why did that happen?
It is a phenomenon that started with a strong thought of a girl who resents the world.
The longing for something brought about a disaster comparable to the power of a god.
How was it possible to create such a phenomenon?
We don’t know yet, but if we can analyze the phenomenon completely, we might be able to discover something new.
Having come to such a conclusion, they call themselves ‘Animus’ and continue their research.
Here, the Animus made the judgment that it would be divided into several denominations like a point organization.
Because they realized someone was following them.
As time passed, Animus completely melted into Mare.
Now it has become too sensitive a situation for someone to step in and punish them.
In such a situation, a new apostle of God descended on Mare.
His name is Julius Drugaia.
He was the second greatest hero and the emperor who was called a tyrant in the original world.
When Julius was summoned to Mare, a holy sword flew from somewhere and appeared in front of him.
“Are you Jim’s milestone?”
Julius grabbed the rusted sword that appeared in front of him.
In that moment, the holy sword regained its former power.
Julius stared at the light emitted by the holy sword, frowning as if he was slightly annoyed.
From noble mtl dot com
In that moment, the information contained in the holy sword penetrated his brain.
“I see.”
Realizing why he was summoned, Julius suppressed the light of the holy sword.
Julius lightly swung the holy sword and smiled self-deprecatingly.
“Your god must have some nasty hobbies.”
Julius Drugaia.
He was born as the third son of a kingdom in his original world.
The eldest son had a gentle personality that would make him a wise man.
However, he was an unsuitable monarch for a kingdom in the cloud of war.
The second son was a person who was overly shaken by his mother’s influence.
If he seized the kingship, he was likely to jeopardize the country’s existence.
Julius had to make a choice for the country’s future.
So he decides to use his second son.
The second son fought for the throne with the eldest son on the back of his mother’s power, and Julius acted as if he were attached to the second son’s power.
But behind the scenes, he leaked information about the second son to his eldest son.
In the end, the second son is defeated by the forces of the eldest son.
Aristocrats attached to the eldest son admonish them to erase the buds of strife quickly.
However, her gentle personality makes her hesitate to make a decision.
In the end, the second son is banished from the country in the name of exile.
Julius wipes out the buds of strife.
It was the same after that.
In the end, the eldest son endangered the country, and Julius once again took on the blood of his own flesh and blood to save the country.
Then they dried the seeds of the vassals who were eating the country for a week day and night.
It was a fate that even a newborn baby could not escape.
He was finally called a tyrant and became a symbol of fear.
Julius judged that the reason he was called here was because of this past.
What the god who summoned him as a hero wishes for.
It was a very unsuitable thing for a hero, but it was a very familiar thing for Julius.
Julius took a completely different path from the first hero.
In order to get rid of the tumors hidden all over the world, he also needed power.
Julius decided to use religion to build his own faction.
It was because of the judgment that faith is a good center of gravity in any world.
Those who actually worship him as the representative of God gathered, and a new religious nation was born.
Julius created the scriptures to govern this country more efficiently.
The effect was absolute.
An agent directly sent down by God.
Because every story that came out of his mouth was literally a revelation from God.
Of course, the scriptures created by Julius were not made by hearing the voice of the gods.
It’s because he just edited the scriptures of the original world to suit Mare’s situation.
But no one knew about it, and even Julius didn’t tell anyone about it.
As the scriptures were created, the kingdom gained a stronger bond.
But Julius couldn’t be satisfied with that.
If we continued to fight the darkness of Mare, there was a high possibility of great damage.
So it was necessary to somehow develop national power.
Julius ordered to review the natural environment, population, military power, economic power, and technology in order to increase the kingdom’s national power.
Rome wasn’t built in a day.
There is a saying that it takes a lot of time and effort to achieve something significant.
However, the kingdom established by the second hero, Julius, was different.
They were united by their faith and handled things in an instant.
Breaking through the hordes of monsters, clearing the wasteland, and developing a port that is the core of trade.
After selecting a good location, people began to gather, and the population began to increase explosively.
As a result, the country began to become wealthy, but military power and technology could not achieve the results that Julius hoped for.
In 5 years, set the country upright and eliminate the buds of strife.
To achieve that goal, groundbreaking innovation was required.
Julius decided to get the answer from a dwarf known for his dexterity.
He decides to go directly to the holy place where the dwarves are staying and proceed with the negotiations.
However, even those who followed him expressed skepticism about Julius’ decision this time around.
It was because Dwarves were famous for being stubborn and not listening to the words of other races.
But Julius had the confidence to convince the dwarves.
Dwarves live in areas rich in ore for metallurgy.
As such, there are many shortcomings in areas other than metallurgy.
I decided that if I focused on this point, I could easily win the favor of the dwarves.
Julius’ judgment was right, but the dwarves were stubborn.
In the end, negotiations fail.
The moment everyone thought so, Julius opened his mouth again.
“Jim was summoned here as an agent of God. It’s to hunt the things that eat away at this world.”
Tools only have meaning when they are used for the purpose for which they were made.
If you want to achieve your tribe’s longing, join hands.
I need your excellent weapons.
The words of Julius succeeded in shaking the souls of the dwarves.
“As expected, God’s agents are different!”
Julius showed a different side from those who had approached the dwarves.
The dwarves, who were attracted by that appearance, decided to accept Julius’ proposal.
Seongguk grew even faster.
And finally, when the 5th year passed after the establishment of the Holy Kingdom, Julius declared a holy war.
Animus has been divided into several sects to prepare for this situation and has been hiding in various parts of Mare.
In this scattered state, no matter how strong the warriors are, their actions will inevitably be restricted.
It has been so until now and will be so in the future.
But that was Animus’ misunderstanding.
Julius and the Crusaders of the Holy Kingdom began to wipe out the Animus, traveling all over the world without hesitation.
The forces of the Animus hiding in Mare were taken aback.
Because I didn’t know that he would commit the very politically sensitive matter of moving the country’s armed forces without hesitation.
Animus tried to placate Julius to avoid anger.
Is it possible for a being called God’s agent to have blood on his hands like this?
Slaughtering one’s own people is not the work of God’s agents!
“Are filthy bastards discussing humans?”
Animus is already divided into many sects, with hardliners and moderates.
Some of those you killed have nothing to do with the Animus!
“It is the sacrifice of a cow for the sake of the great.”
Julius was determined and the crusaders did not hesitate.
Animus was already deeply rooted in Mare, and there were cases where he had established himself as a leading figure in a country.
Even though it was a very sensitive situation politically, Julius did not hesitate.
“God wills.”
In this way, the Animus hiding in various places in Mare were eliminated.
Animus was cornered and he had one wish.
I want to escape to a place other than this place!
That earnest desire gave birth to a miracle.
An unknown hole had formed in the sky over Mare.
