535 – I’m Going to Meet You Now (2)
I told Ruminus that I was leaving immediately, but I didn’t just pack my things and leave.
The place I will head to is the Gray Desert, and the ruins of Gerios Kingdom, which ruled over the entire west.
Currently, a large number of people are gathering to explore the historic site, but going blindly can only add to confusion.
So it would be much better to go secretly rather than visit officially. Instead, she spoke to Savior through Kate.
Also, I didn’t forget to tell Arwen. Since she planted Siris, she must inform him.
[You mean going to the gray desert?]
“Yes. Ruminus-nim asked for it.”
Finally, I had a meeting with Grandpa Clark at the mansion. He was the one who crossed the gray desert on his own.
Right now, most of the expeditions have been attacked, so there’s nothing dangerous, but it’s not bad to listen to experienced people.
Talk-
[ah.]
“hahahaha.”
I didn’t forget to play Baduk. Originally, Baduk is a perfect game to enjoy while chatting.
Clark scratched his head in embarrassment when I caught him off guard. It’s a skeleton without hair, but it seems to be a habit.
[Looking at what Ruminus said, he must have asked someone to meet him. isn’t it?]
“Yes. That’s right. You said you’re not a mean person?”
[There’s no such thing as cheap… From Luminus-sama’s point of view, it’s worth it.]
“Have you met him?”
Clark nodded and carefully placed the white stone.
For a moment, I wondered why he put it there, but his words caught my ears first.
[I’ve never met you. It was neither a good nor a bad experience. It was literally an experience, but it was a large-scale experience.]
“Can’t you tell me?”
[Unlike you, this old lady doesn’t have the talent for words. It would be better to meet in person.]
When was the last time you let go of your travel stories? I laughed inwardly.
It seems that he decided that it was much better for me to see it in person.
[Grandson.]
“Yes?”
[Did you say that the existence of God is unclear in your world?]
While we were talking about this and that, Grandpa Clark suddenly asked me about my past life.
I was a little suspicious of the question, but soon after confirming that the white stone was placed, it was not a big deal.
“Yes. I believe in a god whose existence is unclear. It’s just that I haven’t confirmed the existence, but I’m certain that God exists.”
If I hadn’t been reincarnated here, I would have lived my whole life as an atheist. But now I believe.
That doesn’t mean I became a faithful believer. It just means not denying its existence.
[Then why can’t I use mana and magic?]
“Yes?”
[Even if the existence of God is unclear, shouldn’t mana and magic remain the same?]
I looked puzzled at Clark’s next question. At first, I was confused about what he meant, but the more I thought about it, the more strange it was.
Since the existence of God is unclear, it is okay to not have divine power.
However, the lack of mana and magic is a lot to think about.
‘Magic was originally the power of the gods, and it was mentioned in the book… Mana was originally there.’
That’s what the myths say. Magic is one of the abilities originally used by the gods.
That ability was passed on to angels, and the angels took off their wings and became elves.
Here, the situation is slightly different for the demons, but it is unknown who inherited it because they achieved forced evolution due to external factors.
The demons themselves said that they could use it like a tool as soon as they were born, so it’s not easy to find the answer.
“Well, I’m not sure about that.”
[Is there no record of using mana or magic?]
“It’s not like there aren’t any at all. In mythology, there are records that not only gods but also humans used magic.”
Characteristics of human wizards in mythology. Insane or mostly distraught.
Again, it is a wizard who appears in mythology, not in media such as movies.
Most of the time, I tend to face bad things when I try to covet knowledge.
“But in the age I live in, magic is just a trick. It’s not some occult ability, it’s a subtle trick. Of course there’s no mana.”
[Hmm. I don’t understand. Of course, because there is no magic, science can develop that much. Still, it’s questionable that even its existence is uncertain.]
“How can we know God’s intentions. I’ll leave it here.”
[Damn it.]
When I completely blocked Baekdol’s attack, Clark shook his head and sighed.
No matter how sincere the conversation may be, he has no intention of losing.
He groaned for a while about where to put the white stone, then sighed and threw the stone.
Expression of admitting defeat. I smiled and slowly collected the black stones.
“Would you like another game? There’s still a lot left before departure.”
[done. I’ve been using my body all my life, so it’s not good for my grandson.]
Clark grumbled and bit the cigar he had left on the table. Soon after, the strong scent of peppermint filled the room.
When Ariel was around, I had to pay attention to some extent, but now it’s not like that. You can smoke at will.
I cleaned up the checkerboard while smelling the extremely sweet fragrance of the world tree leaf cigar.
[Whoa… it’s the grandson.]
“Yes. Please tell me.”
[Before I go, can you tell me what kind of person the god of your world is? After hearing it, I was a little curious.]
“Well······”
Do you want to be with your grandson even for a day? I thought deeply about Clark’s question.
The gods of the earth are different from this world, and there are so many to choose from and explain. In the first place, various myths exist in each region.
Representatively, there are Greek and Roman mythology, Norse mythology, and Egyptian mythology. It would take a few days to solve and explain these three things.
Finally, Christianity and Buddhism are currently dividing the world. It is difficult to pick one and explain it.
“Which one do you want? Human gods like the gods of this world? Or an obscure god? Take your pick.”
[Well? What do you mean? You talk as if there are more than 10 gods.]
“Is it more than three digits?”
[··· ···]
At my words, Clark blinks. It means that the golden light in the skull’s eye sockets is twinkling.
Why are there so many Indian gods right now? There are so many ignorant that I want to.
Then he laughed and muttered dejectedly, blowing smoke through his teeth.
[What the hell is the world doing… But there won’t be a religious war.]
“There were so many that I was knocked off my feet. There was a war over one holy place for 100 years.”
It is called the Crusades, and it is a war fought fiercely to gain control over Jerusalem.
Instead, it was more like a situation where large and small battles occurred frequently, rather than a rough war.
Through this war, the hypothesis that Christianity and Islam believed in the same God was raised.
[Why? Are there so many gods?]
“It’s very complicated and long, can you explain it?”
[done. Go alone is enough for a headache. Whoa.]
Clark once again exhaled a haze and expressed his coolness.
Hagiya, it is hard to even explain each myth, but there is no time to tell the long and long history.
“Well, anyway, I’m going to leave. Is there anything I should be careful about?”
[I’ve done the research on the desert, so I can only say to skip this and prepare for the shock. Because there are so many shocking truths buried.]
Serious advice, except for the puffing of a cigar. It’s a skeleton, but you inhale it deliciously.
What kind of truth is buried, why are you even paying attention? I was even more curious.
“Yes. I’ll listen.”
[As I said before, don’t put too much faith in God. Even now, I have no idea what kind of intention they send you there.]
“Even if the gods destroyed the world, you can go on with it.”
[Collock! Coke!]
Clark coughed in surprise, probably because the question was so unexpected.
Since he was already dead, he must have been really shocked.
Then he seemed to control his stomach for a while and then asked me a question in a slightly trembling voice.
[What do you mean by that? The world is destroyed, but is it grave?]
“Yes. Even if it’s a myth, it’s because the gods destroying the world happened too often.”
It is the gods of the earth who destroy the world by causing a great flood whenever they have a chance.
In particular, in the case of Norse mythology, all of them were in vain while struggling to prevent Ragnarok.
Clark listened to me and put on a dumbfounded expression before asking in a small voice.
[······What kind of personality breakers are there?]
It was a very accurate assessment.
******
“Soon, Zenon-nim will visit this place.”
Deimos, the head of the Gray Desert Expedition, conveyed the news in a polite tone.
Upon receiving the news, King Morgan, the last king of Gerios, opened his mouth bluntly without even looking at him.
[i get it. Thank you for the good news. I thought I was behind again.]
He was still sitting proudly on his throne, but now King Morgan’s hands hold ‘blood and steel’.
It’s been a long time since I’ve finished reading Zenon’s biography, and recently I’m eagerly reading Blood and Steel delivered by Deimos.
He seemed to be a bit lost, but Deimos didn’t say anything. His ability was so great that even he couldn’t do anything about it.
“Then, I will bring Zenon-sama here soon.”
[Thank you for your efforts. Let it go.]
King Morgan waved his hand as if telling him to go quickly. He was openly expressing his annoyance.
Deimos bowed his head politely and stepped out of the throne room, as if he was not at all affected by King Morgan’s actions.
Eventually, Deimos stepped out of the audience room, and the large gate of the audience room was firmly shut.
Thus, King Morgan was left alone in the audience room, quietly perusing Blood and Steel.
[therefore······]
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Left alone, King Morgan murmured softly and slowly put the book down.
As soon as the book that covered his face was lowered, his expression was revealed.
[May I ask what you are thinking?]
There is no one in the audience room. this is for sure
But King Morgan was talking as if someone were there.
Pod!
Then a strange thing happened. Isn’t the golden light coming from the open ceiling into the center of the audience room?
Despite the brightness that would blind you just by looking at it, King Morgan did not budge. Rather, it was more like a wary eye.
[I just did what you wanted.]
To my surprise, a man’s soft voice came from the light. It wasn’t a very friendly tone.
King Morgan knows the owner of that voice. To this, he snorted and replied as if it was unreasonable.
[When was the last time the God of War granted Jim’s request? I don’t know when my body was fine, but now I’m just suppressing it.]
[It would be better to think about what to talk about when you meet with that child.]
Voice No, Luminous conveyed only what King Morgan had to say, sarcastic or not. Both of them show no sympathy towards each other.
At this, King Morgan ate. His expression was full of confidence.
[You seem to be good at talking, putting all the restrictions on my soul. Are you telling me to sew up your mouth and scream?]
[··· ···]
[Well, I hear he’s a prophet, but I don’t know. Instead, the truth is known far away, so it feels like the blockage is opening up.]
King Morgan put on a cool expression as if he had been hit.
Ruminus didn’t say anything about it, but quietly opened his mouth.
[Let me give you one piece of advice.]
[advice?]
At the word of advice, King Morgan raised one eye. No matter how ugly he is, he is a god.
God never gives advice in vain. After reading the future, it must be based on this.
Subsequently, Luminus gave ‘advice’ to King Morgan, who was making a puzzled expression.
[That child will far exceed your expectations. I can guarantee you that it will break everything you expect.]
The evaluation of Luminous, which seems like an overestimation, but is not an overestimation. If Isaac had listened to it, it would have been an evaluation that he would have made a unique bewildered expression.
Whether that’s the case or not, King Morgan exclaimed huh- and replied leisurely.
[I’m looking forward to that.]
Maybe he is the one that make the north and south become one if he didn’t get summoned
