Chapter 1348 – Grindel
It’s really unfair.
People are not what I called.
I was just going to eat, when suddenly dozens of people came rushing in and knelt in front of me.
I thought it had nothing to do with me, so I tried to pass by, but he followed me.
Are these people I know? So I looked at his face, but that wasn’t it.
They said to me as I looked at them asking who I was.
“Instructor Dre, please reconsider your decision.”
“”Please reconsider!””
They were singing in unison like subjects remonstrating to a king in a historical drama, so I asked what was going on.
The answer came out.
I completely forgot about it. It was about the Faculty of Arts.
He came forward saying he would quit his job as a lecturer, and I don’t know what twists and turns there were after that, but he came to bow his head to me first.
But if you’re going to bow down, do it sincerely. They should have shown some sincerity and sent their own subordinates, not the instructors who tried to play politics that day.
As I was about to complain, it occurred to me that this incident was largely my fault, so I tried to just pass it by, but I was grabbed by the crotch of my pants.
Even if I told him to let go, he never let go.
As I walked using the Lunar, I was dragging, but I kept holding on to my pants, or I built a human tower in front of me and said, “If you want to pass by, step on them and pass by!” He even said that.
So, as I wished, I was passing by.
My personality is definitely not trash.
“Three… No, eight days.”
“Cibellom.”
Match!! This refreshing feeling that my palms actually hurt after slapping Kaitsu’s cheek. I don’t want to admit it, but I kind of missed it.
“Dre!!”
“Lord Dre!!”
Hehe.
My sister Marie and Scary Garcinido were angry.
I was scared and ducked.
Where I am now is Kaitz’s mansion.
I don’t know what’s going on, but I told him to meet me after eating, and Ji brought me over to prepare it himself.
I told her to go away because I didn’t like the food you made, but she said it was Marie’s cooking and came right away.
I wonder what the food of a woman worthy of being my sister tastes like.
For your information, not only the intangible, but also someone who does not fit into this mansion, Ms. Lenea, was there.
What did they bring people together to talk about?
“Eight days.”
“Why.”
“Listen while you eat.”
Sandwiches were placed in front of us.
I can’t say that it was well made, even with empty words, but I could see the effort of the person who made it.
“Well… The quality isn’t that good…?”
Marie’s cheeks were blushing as if she was embarrassed.
This alone makes this dish worth it.
I put my sandwich in my mouth and gave it a thumbs up.
Kaitz, who was accustomed to hearing words spoken by Ji, soon saw Scholar Brother, and in a clear, well-spoken voice, he told us the reason for calling us together.
“I’d like to organize what happened to us recently and come up with a plan.”
First of all, the reason why I lost contact with the Kaits and Hero party for a while was because they had difficulty using communication methods due to their divine power as they confronted me and the intangible ‘Snow Flower’.
There was not one but two tales.
There was another difference between me and the intangible. The female ghost that Intangible and I dealt with was a being from the local lore: Grindel, but the beings the hero party faced had nothing to do with the local lore.
It is clear that both exist in folk tales, but they are tales from different regions.
Although they were powerful monsters like the ghosts that I and Intangible faced, they were no match for the real monster, Kaits.
However, both of them have the power to delay time or pollute the land, so their return was delayed due to cleaning up.
What I learned from this incident was this.
1. The Godhead has become very free from restrictions, but there are still restrictions.
If there were no restrictions at all, he would be an important person in each country by now. Emperor or something. He must have exerted his influence in some way, such as by contacting a king or someone of high status to increase his followers or help the user in charge.
In fact, Kaits was most worried that the presence of gods would change the world’s landscape after seeing Heston granting blessings just by praying at the Dwarves’ sacred site, but fortunately, there was no sign of the gods intervening to the extent of making their presence widely known to the world.
“My guess is that the dwarven goddess Heston is a special case. Or, it appears that she can only contact beings that are in contact with her magnetic source without restrictions.”
For example, the dwarven goddess only communicates well with dwarves.
“But. I guess it’s just a matter of time. Let’s move on to the second.”
2. There is a way for the godhead to demonstrate 200% of his power, and that is ‘tale’.
The Kites did not meet the newcomers’ strangers, but they are the ones who deal with folk tales. In other words, they encountered the Eleunarians directly.
After dispelling the story, we interrogated them about why they attacked us and where they got this power, and found out that they only came here after receiving a ‘revelation’.
“It is presumed that the Godhead can contact humans in the area where certain tales exist in the form of dreams.”
Contacting humans through dreams. They encourage you to go to the place where the ‘root’ of a certain tale is, and when you reach the root, it is said that the tale becomes reality.
This time, in the case of that female ghost. Her revelations were given to her intangible mother, who lived in the Grindel area, and she found her diary, her ‘source’.
The moment I found the root. God is able to exert influence on the present world by infusing divine power into the tale.
The story is given to the human who made the revelation. The moment power is granted, it is treated as if a contract has been made with the god who imbued it with divine power, and revelations can be made more frequently.
This is why it is a matter of time that the scholar brother mentioned earlier.
How many tales can there be on this planet the size of Jupiter?
Soon, most gods will have the means of tales, and the number of revelators who know the existence of gods will increase.
If the gods are able to make frequent revelations, there is a high probability that the story holder will come into contact with the powerful or powerful.
“There is good news too.”
3. There is a limited activity time for a folktale, and if the basis of the folktale is destroyed, it disappears completely.
But this is difficult.
Unless they go crazy, they will try to hide the root cause.
In this case of Grindel, I saw that the diary was kept in the Cave of Trials rather than in a place like subspace. There may be a restriction that the fundamentals should not be too far from the folk tale.
But there are plenty of ways to hide it.
“There is a solution.”
It is said that Kaitz entered the ‘world of tales’ and defeated the masters of tales.
This time, it was as if the intangible had deliberately gone into the world connected to the warehouse and gotten rid of the female ghost.
Kaitz solved it with ignorance and force, but as it was originally intangible, you will have to understand the content of the story and attack its blind spots.
Also, I don’t know why, but contrary to the scholar’s and Kaitsu’s expectations that there would be at least hundreds of Revelators, there don’t seem to be many Revelators.
4. Combat power varies greatly depending on the story and level of deity. The power of a tale is determined by the content of the tale.
One of the stories about a party of warriors fighting was just frustrating because it took time, but the other story was said to be very difficult because it became more lively as time passed.
The story that took away the vitality was that of a human being trapped in a certain place and starving to death.
I thought of an intangible story.
The origin of the tale. It is said that the intangibles that invaded the world of tales almost died, and only managed to survive because they knew the contents of the tale.
The strategy was to untie the chains of the being presumed to be the ‘father’ of the female ghost.
After hearing that story, I was intrigued and looked through the book that was the source of the Grindel female ghost story.
As I mentioned several times before, the book was a diary, and it looked like the woman had written it herself.
It was written about the days spent hiding at home after being abandoned by a nobleman.
Her parents could not bring themselves to punish their daughter, and she barely survived and is now recovering from her after-effects, she said.
Her mother wanted her daughter to be safe, but her father was a village man to his core.
The girl’s father, who initially hid about his daughter’s punishment, followed her mother’s opinion that this was wrong. It is said that she had a habit of saying that she had to follow the village customs, but the diary was lost around that time.
Given the circumstances, it is likely that the father told her that her daughter was safe and that her daughter was taken away by the villagers and executed.
Among the female ghost’s fighting methods was cutting open the stomachs of ghosts, presumed to be villagers, when they sang in unison.
The original punishment for a woman was to cut open her stomach and take out the fetus.
Perhaps because of the content, the baby in the boat has fighting power, and the villagers’ chorus of criticism seems to be a reenactment of the time when the judgment was made, so I think the boat was cut open according to the contents of the judgment.
In the case of the teleportation stab, I thought there was no way this could come out of nowhere, but the story had strong fantasy elements from the beginning.
The part about the destruction of not only the village but also the country after the woman’s death is particularly fantasy-like, and this is what Nelf found while searching for the data kept in Grindel.
The story is that a being presumed to be a female ghost suddenly appeared in a snowstorm and attacked people.
Ghosts really exist in this world.
Didn’t the woman who died unfairly become a ghost monster and take revenge on the country?
I think the tale that I and the incorporeal character dealt with was quite powerful among the tales, but I think it was especially strong because divine power was infused into a being that was originally special.
Anyway, the conclusion is.
“So if you understand the contents of the tale, you can know to some extent what the other person’s power is?”
“Exactly.”
The scholar brother snapped his fingers and made a face that said he had done very well.
Lol. Dre is like a mani ttotto.
[This bastard.]
[Phew…]
What. Why. What.
“Ha. Should I read a fairy tale book now?”
Muhyeong snorted and said.
Despite the sarcasm, the scholar brother answered seriously, “You should consider it,” And continued.
5. Purpose of new students.
“Purpose?”
“They are very unusual beings.”
From what I heard from the executives of the new recruits that I and Intangible captured, they are a group that receives more evolved bodies and abilities than existing strangers, and is directly managed by numerous gods.
What do you mean by an evolved body? Perhaps because it is a body created by deities whose restrictions have been lifted, it appears to be much more powerful than the bodies previously given to strangers.
Even though freshmen are mostly level 1 juniors, they seem to be receiving overwhelming benefits that can be compared to us…
I thought about the purpose of freshmen.
They seem to have a stronger influence from the gods than from foreigners. In fact, the gods only have one purpose, right?
“Didn’t you win the race?”
Existing users, who are in the mood to join Nana Kaitz as many gods, may lose interest and support them.
But when I think about it again, this doesn’t make sense.
“It’s strange when I think about it. If I were God, I would rather contact existing users.”
The reason why existing users joined Nana Kaitz was because the conditions for winning this race and becoming a ‘Prunar’ were so harsh and the competitors were so competitive that they gave up half way.
In other words. If you can find a way to surpass your competitors and move up, there is nothing wrong with stabbing them in the back.
Although the entire human species is somewhat like that, users are particularly self-indulgent and narcissistic.
Even if you gather newbies with good qualifications but don’t know anything, you end up with a ragtag bunch. What is the reason for gathering members like that?
“Perhaps it can only provide benefits to new users… Or those gods have joined hands with demons.”
Demon. In particular, the Demon Lords have plenty of reasons to keep Kaitz and us in check.
With the demon king official of the captured monarch this time, it is possible for the demon lord to make a contract with the godhead.
It is unclear whether this contract means that demons can participate in the race and win, or just gain power, but from the godhead’s perspective, it is worth considering contacting the demon lord if it helps the user in charge.
But from what Kaits found out, this was not the case.
In the first place, contacting God is not easy even for demon lords.
“From what I know, we need to use a ‘medium.'”
There needs to be something like a divine object related to that god, or at least the user in charge needs to face the devil himself.
Otherwise, God would have to expend causality to directly contact the Demon King, but either way, it would be too risky since there is no way to know whether the deal will be successful.
As a result. There are many things that make no sense for the Demons to be the new student’s backing team.
Why did they immediately turn against us, who are no exaggeration to say that we are the most powerful force in the human world, as soon as they established the organization?
What is their purpose?
I thought for a moment and thought, He said.
“Kates. I have something to tell you.”
***
A gorgeous interior reminiscent of a luxury hotel buffet.
The people gathered were many people dressed in modern clothing, and a small number of people dressed in medieval clothing that did not suit them.
People dressed in medieval costumes were looking around with admiring faces, and among them was the incorporeal mother.
Her face showed admiration as well as a hint of anxiety as a man with a dandy look approached her.
“Don’t worry too much, Lady.”
The man, who was dressed in medieval clothing but was actually a user, licked her body.
Her incorporeal mother looked into those disgusting eyes and smiled very happily on the outside, even as she lamented her own misfortune. A smile that makes her think she likes him.
“Can I stay here? I…”
“I heard that you lost the tale you had, haha. Don’t worry too much. Once you have obtained the tale, it is much easier to make a contract with the gods or another tale.”
She deserves it.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited you here. The man told the intangible mother what she wanted most.
She began acting out to feel her joy but also to increase her self-worth.
“…I’m actually afraid.”
“Those scoundrels.”
“One of them is a son I gave birth to with a stomachache. How could he turn out to be such a bad child?”
The woman wiped away her tears.
The slender figure was very attractive.
She was just a woman with a nice body and a smooth face, so the blush appeared on the face of the man she wanted to meet for one night.
“Don’t worry. This is God’s world. Those scoundrels will never harm you. No matter what happens, I will protect you.”
“Really?”
“Yes. Really… Huh?”
This time, the voice that answered was not that of the intangible mother, but that of a man.
Suddenly. There was a man standing next to his intangible mother.
Phew!!
The dandy man’s neck was pierced with a sword.
It happened so naturally that I didn’t feel any discomfort from what was happening or what was going on around me, but all of a sudden I became rigid.
“…Uh.”
“Well, the face is…”
“Highest caution…!!”
While astonishment boils over. Sigh! Said Dre, holding his intangible mother by the hair.
“Are you going to have another child? Mother.”
