Episode. 33 Spread like wildfire (1)
◈ ◈ ◈
Alan took a deep breath.
Heart suddenly starts beating.
I instinctively sensed it.

“come… … !”
All the way to Margarten, the light that had been flickering in my head was approaching.
cheap-
Alan wasn’t the only one who felt it.
The skinny branches of the world tree that had been embracing the elves for a long time trembled.
At first glance, it seemed that he was in ecstasy, and it seemed that he was shuddering with longing.
“Eh, Mr. Margarten?”
“Where are you sick!”
It was the time when the elves in the south looked up at the World Tree anxiously.
『Margarten… … .』
The voice of God was heard in everyone’s ears.
That mysterious and holy voice had a strange power.
The intimidation overflowed to the point that it made the elves, who were busy resolving their feelings, voluntarily kneel down.
gulp.
Alan swallowed dryly. The busy moving pupils were searching for the light of God.
Soon, he found a glass.
“Now is the time to wake up.”
The glass that had been rolling around next to the world tree rose into the air. The glass, which he thought was empty, was filled with divinity before he knew it.
“Ahh… … .”
A bright, bright divine light bloomed in the garden to the south.
The anticipation in Alan’s eyes was young.
If you faithfully followed the revelation to head to the southern garden, that brilliant light will reward you.
The genius of the Marx family thought so.
Then, soon, he realized that he was no different from a child looking for praise.
A very thick sense of humiliation, shame, and unknown emotions came together and mixed together.
Alan’s expression changed in the confusion.
for a while too.
“Make your appearance before me.”
The brilliance of the glass gave off an even brighter light.
And the light provided good nourishment for the parched world tree.
“Three, the World Tree… … !”
Dying trees come back to life.
It wasn’t even the freshness of a sunny spring day, but it was enough to make the elves realize the word miracle.
cheap-
The tree branch swayed once.
Right after Alan and the elves closed and opened their eyes, a boy was standing in front of the World Tree.
“Horse!”
The boy bowed toward the shining glass in front of him.
The green hair and gold eyes were the same as those of Adelgarten, but the atmosphere around her was completely different.
“… … .”
Margarten, a boy kneeling on one knee and gazing at the godhead.
Various emotions swirled across his face.
The silence that had to be endured for a long time after God disappeared.
What is the feeling of facing God who has been waiting without a promise?
“… … How have you been?”
Among the countless words, that was the only sentence Margarten could utter.
I couldn’t help it.
Because the light that could cover the world was dangerously lighting up a garden.
Even the feeling of divinity was noticeably weakened.
“What the hell happened to you? How has your holy status been so damaged?”
He sighed in a mournful voice.
More than the affection of the reunion, more than the joy, it was just sad and sad for the god who had fallen as much as himself.
『Margarten.』
“I give you a revelation.”
But God did not answer that sighing question.
Is there not enough time for leisurely Q&A?
『Because the boundary has been broken down and the plague has spread.』
『This is because the chaos has arrived.』
『You will have to fulfill your duty as the world tree.』
The brilliance grew brighter.
The elves did not dare to raise their heads and smacked their foreheads on the ground.
“I will follow your orders.”
thump.
Only Margarten looked straight into the light and patted his chest.
It was an expression full of determination.
『My limbs will help you and your family.』
limb.
Alan, who was unconsciously resting his forehead on the ground, pricked up his ears.
Who is the person who corresponds to the word limb here?
The answer was obvious.
『This is Alan.』
『I grant you the title of Saint of the South.』
Alan lifted his head with difficulty.
“Saint of the South… … .”
God called me a limb and a saint. Why is it so ecstatically happy?
Like a child who received the praise he longed for, I didn’t even feel comfortable with myself for a moment.
The light from the glass enveloped Alan.
“You will not be locked.”
『I will become a lamp that conveys my blessings.』
The auspicious light entangled the demonic wriggling inside Alan’s body.
It wasn’t completely erased, but Alan definitely felt that the demonic energy that had expanded as if it was about to explode had sunk to that depth.
“… … What should I do?”
God answered Alan’s question.
『Gather the elite of Marx and go to the plain where the plague is rampant.』
『Don’t let the red germs invade the southern land.』
“Through it, my name will resound everywhere.”
◈ ◈ ◈
“Keep it off!”
As soon as I finished the revelation, a terrible aftermath greeted me.
Pain as if his whole body was twisting.
This was something I had already expected.
It was not just a revelation, but a large-scale revelation, so it was only natural that the aftermath would be more intense than before.
I caught my breath and fell into thought.
Right now I’m writhing on the floor like this, but the revelation itself has been successfully completed.
Alan no longer showed any resentment towards God, but rather was thrilled with the title he had been bestowed upon.
It seemed that faith had finally begun to sprout.
“flaw.”
How could the greatest genius of the Marx family ever be obtained so easily?
This is a f*cking business.
I remembered Alan I had seen right before I finished the revelation.
The image of holding up the staff containing one hundred thousand beliefs with both hands.
It was to the point where I was sorry that I had tricked a child who had no knowledge of the world.
The title is Saint of the South, but what I received as a gift was worse than Moritz’s holy sword.
“no. Even just saving a guy who almost became a demon is enough.”
arm. by the way
He nodded his head, twisting his body in agony.
From the beginning, if you spread this and that, they would only know me as a hogu.
Well, in any case, the things gained from this revelation were not few.
The world tree in the south, the elves, and even Alan.
This would be enough for Horgyo to dominate the Southern Continent.
◈ ◈ ◈
First of all, it was urgent to recover the physical condition.
After taking care of themselves for four days like that, the red and dirty revelers arrived in front of the castle.
“Babes, there are a lot of them.”
Swarms of germs make the hills beyond the walls red-hot.
Even at a rough estimate, the number exceeded four thousand.
“Are they the second generation?”
While I was standing on top of the castle wall with my eyes wide open, Abalt asked me from the side.
“No, those are still in the first generation. The second generation will attack next time.”
“Write.”
Abalt thumped and broke his neck. Whether it was the 2nd generation or the 10th generation, they were full of confidence as if they were not afraid.
The blade of the main ax reflected the light on his back.
“Magician. Are you not using it properly? I gave it as a gift at best.”
It was the coachman that Helga of Poland obtained in exchange for betraying her family and the North Continent.
He asked the elves to release the magical seal, but Abalt seemed to have no intention of using the coachman’s ability.
I didn’t give you to just hold and wield it with a lump of metal.
“Oh, what if I just leave this in my room? Come to think of it, I stumbled over it!”
He ran all over the place and got angry.
Before I left the Rio Castle, it seemed that he was not very happy that I had left the coachman behind me.
“Why, does the traitor’s face even shimmer?”
“under! I hope.”
He snorted at my subtle question.
He said he couldn’t even think of a worm like that.
“Can’t such a nobleman properly use a rare artifact?”
“… … .”
There was no follow-up answer. He only glanced at the ax behind his back with complicated eyes.
It seems like it’s not that easy.
Well, it’s up to you how you use it.
I turned my head and found the Ord castle lord.
He had just climbed the wall.
“All troops deployed!”
The shouts of knights and soldiers filled the walls.
Even seeing the approaching swarm of monsters boosted their morale.
I was afraid and trembling, but I didn’t even break my heart.
I was scared and nervous, but my limbs were not stiff.
Even the soldiers, albeit modestly, burned their fighting spirit, so compared to a while ago, it was a remarkable opponent.
I walked between the banners and approached the lord of the castle.
“I will ask you one last time.”
Sungjoo stared at me with an honest face.
“The duty that comes with enjoying privileges. Can Rio Castle afford it?”
A question that has already been answered several times.
But even if you ask hundreds more times, it’s not enough. It wasn’t because he didn’t trust the men of Rio Castle.
“Are you prepared to shoulder at least half of the karma and flames of the elves?”
karma and salt. Because it is a very heavy word.
visor-!
Seongju drew his sword.
“As long as this Oran Ord is the owner of Rio Castle, I will not let go of all my duties and responsibilities.”
That resolute belief became a solid voice and resonated through the walls of the castle.
Chaeng, Chaeng-!
The Knights of the Union, which were deployed everywhere, raised their weapons high into the sky.
“As long as Rio Castle is in danger! We will also risk our lives to watch!”
An expression of the belief that we will be together until the end.
In contrast, the royal troops remained silent. They were the ones who came here by order of the king, so they had to return after the Plague War was over.
I can’t instill faith in the elves at this level.
For that, the race of elves shed too much blood.
However, it seems that the sincerity of the union worked a little.
Geeing-.
The air around Rio Castle changed.
Large and small magic circles encompassing heaven and earth.
coogu palace.
Vibration comes from deep in the ground.
“The frame of the garden was already completed a few days ago.”
The last thing needed was the will of the elves to activate the barrier, and that had just been met.
Rio Castle’s troops were confused. Soon after, he looked at the fortress as if he had promised.
Kugu Palace-!
From noble mtl dot com
Adelgarten, a huge and beautiful tree that wraps around and climbs the Rio Fortress.
The pure energy of life radiated from the green leaves. At the same time, the magic circles embroidered all over the world shone brightly.
“Kieack!”
The monsters who dared to set foot in the garden screamed.
To them, this place is a terrible swamp, and it has become an extremely dangerous dungeon.
“And for us, it is truly a natural fortress.”
I smiled and looked up at Adelgarten.
In my head, a tradition passed down for a very long time came to mind.
『We are the watchmen who keep.』
“No one will invade this place.”
『The watchmen will protect this place even in death.』
The soldiers and royal knights, who were embarrassed and unable to grasp the situation, stood tall and stopped.
Her breathing gradually stabilized, her eyes glowing with heat.
“Ex-gunner, protest!”
“Aim the cannon!”
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the castle heated up.
“Whoa. That sounds pretty plausible.”
I was excited to see the men who changed in an instant.
Standing on the edge of the castle wall, I fiddled with the hilt of the sword Hundred Ghosts.
