Chapter 1350 – Grindel
The Dion fraudulent admission incident, followed by Grindel and the unknown identity incident behind him, were resolved and also dealt quite a blow to the freshmen.
But this is the reason why we headed to Grindel this time. There is still uncertainty about Waikatsu.
The cadre of freshmen I caught at first. Somehow, Riku said with an unfair expression on his face when being interrogated.
“I don’t know about Faikatsu…! That woman just went to see me on her own!”
That woman is an intangible mother. She is referring to Aunt Grindell.
What’s so great about that woman is that it hasn’t been long since the Grindel family collaborated with freshmen, and even among the freshmen, she was rumored to be a crazy bitch.
The intangible father was originally planned to study both divine power and magic in a laboratory prepared by new students, but the fact that she arbitrarily killed him because she was wrong shows how vicious she must have been on a regular basis.
If anything, he was a holder of Grindel’s magic and lore, so he would have been included in this ‘gathering of beggars.’
I decided to talk about the meaning of the beggars later, and interrogated the intangible mother and the strangers I caught this time about Waikatsu.
Although there were quite a few people who died, there were dozens who survived, and almost none of them knew anything about Faikatsu.
Those who know about Waikatz only know that Aunt Grindel invaded Waikatz.
Okay. The freshmen originally had no intention of doing anything at Waikatsu.
Just looking at the data we found this time, we are the most dangerous. The plan was to eliminate Frunar Academy first and attack them step by step.
Currently, he is busy collecting tales and carrying out the orders of the god.
In the end, the only person who knows the name of Waikatsu’s whereabouts is Aunt Grindel, and she said this in response to my ‘question’.
I don’t even know myself.
After some scolding, I was able to hear in detail about the situation that day.
Aunt Grindel says she stormed into the damn house, showed off her new powers and tried to avenge her humiliation.
And. When Aunt Grindel went to Waikatsu and summoned the ghost of the story, something strange happened.
It is said that all members of Faikatsu disappeared as if melting into thin air.
Aunt Grindel said she thought they had run away.
As a result of several interrogations. She was sure she was telling the truth.
In other words. The disappearance of Waikatsu was not the fault of a new student.
“Not all gods belong to the new students. There is a possibility that they are other forces.”
In the ‘list’ I obtained this time, I looked at the gods who joined the new students, and there were more than dozens of them.
In other words, those who numbered more than a few hundred did not belong to the new class.
There are probably many gods who do not belong to any organization and act as they please, and such gods may have been involved in the disappearance of Faikatsu.
But. I don’t think the gods were involved in this.
It seems like some other force was at work…
Kaitz also mentioned something he was puzzled about by my ambiguous opinion.
“There is another strange thing. Among the gods, the Named is not moving at all.”
Named, as Kaits refers to it, means at least the highest level god or a god with similar power who has the potential to win the race. It would be perfect if you think of All-Nest.
They would have been able to influence the world much more easily and quickly than the toy god behind Grindel, helping the users in charge and making their name known.
But it didn’t happen.
It is said that the rankers belonging to the Eight-Dre Alliance also vaguely asked the person in charge about the strange events that have been happening these days, but the question was vaguely answered.
I thought the gods’ restrictions had been lifted, but it seems there’s still something we don’t know about.
“There must be a reason why they do not exercise power in the current world. There must be a difference between the gods who joined the new students and the gods who remain quiet. For now, we only need to worry about the new students. They are still alive and well.”
Although they lost more than half of their men and inflicted significant damage… They are still alive and well, just as Kaits said.
Didn’t I tell you earlier that the freshmen I eliminated this time should be shaken?
The meaning of beggars is exactly what it sounds like.
The people who participated in the banquet we raided this time were so-called chores. They were merely consumables that did chores. Promising stock. Those who collect folk tales or show outstanding talent are said to be in more secret places.
There was a person in charge who came to this banquet hall to manage the beggars, and I confirmed this directly with him.
Those in more secret places. The so-called true freshmen will receive much better benefits and will be looking for a story as powerful as the one that Muhyeong and I faced this time.
I would rather not deal with many of those powerful ghosts.
The good news is. It is unlikely that the number of new students will increase further.
There is a time every year when foreigners enter Elunar in large numbers, and that time was not long ago.
After meeting with the gods in charge, the ‘Unknown One’ contacted the users who chose to come to Elunar and asked them to join forces, saying that if they continued like this, they would become nothing more than a sidekick to ‘Kaitsu Hiro’ and ‘Yudre’. It is said that he persuaded them to join as a new student by explaining what benefits they would receive.
Also. It is said that the new strangers who entered this time are a new generation that starts off with much stronger specifications than the existing strangers.
That’s true.
The new strangers who arrived this time were given bodies that were more powerful than their existing bodies.
I think this is a kind of ‘newbie consideration’.
Now that strangers have been leveled upward due to numerous incidents. Even if new users come in, there is no room for them to be active.
In terms of a game, it’s like distributing items to newbies so they can compete with existing users to some extent.
I think this is possible with Elunar’s system, which strangely takes the form of a game.
Anyway. The new generation is an organization that treats the existing members as fools, belonging to the so-called new generation.
I don’t know what the ‘unknown person’ thought, but he gathered members by inciting the existing users to be inadequate.
The new group was a much more hastily created organization than expected, with no place for existing users to join.
What we need to be wary of are those including the unknown one who gathered them and even subsumed the gods.
They are the main force of the new students.
Kaits seemed to know something about them, but he didn’t explain it to me, perhaps because he thought it was premature.
I’ll let you know when the time comes.
There is still so little information in this rapidly changing world, so when he knows something, he will tell it then.
We don’t know who the real mastermind behind the new student is, but we didn’t sit idly by either.
Because we don’t know how many other similar organizations exist in addition to the new students, Kaitz has made arrangements to inform organizations that are friendly with us of the danger and provide support at any time.
In particular, he is in frequent contact with the rankers of the Eight-Dre Alliance.
They are currently searching for the monster king’s habitat, and they are important personnel, and since they are in an environment where they can be easily attacked, we will pay special attention.
“This change is not all bad for us.”
In fact, we can also take advantage of this situation where the gods’ restrictions have been lifted and they are using new strangers and tales to exercise power in this world.
No. In fact, there will be far more gods who want to make a contract with us than new students.
No matter what anyone says, Kaitz and I are strong candidates for winning this tough race.
Kaitz said that he would look for gods who are friendly to us and also find out about Faikatsu.
Frunar Academy also continues to use Baekmaju to find traces of Waikatsu.
I also try to help them and try my best to find Waikatsu.
Just then, there was someone who needed to ‘visit’. Because if it were him, he would know everything.
Before going home to prepare to visit Him. An intangible asked me as if passing by.
“What happened to Neiru and Dohute?”
If you wanted to find out, you could have looked into it yourself, but if you asked me, would you have been afraid to find out what happened to Dofute?
I think the angry girl just asked as a bonus.
“Mr. Iru is in prison and under investigation. She may not know much about her new student organization, but she knows more about Grindel’s corruption than anyone else.”
Based on her criminal history revealed so far, Neru is a confirmed death penalty, so if she wants to avoid the death penalty, she has no choice but to cooperate as much as possible to reduce her sentence.
“Dofute is…”
I hesitated for a moment and then put my hand into subspace.
Muhyeong was shocked.
Does he think I’m trying to take out a corpse?
“…Ruler.”
I opened my palm and showed the beads on it.
Muhyeong looked at it blankly and then asked.
“Could it be Dohute? That?”
It seems like he felt Dofute’s Ryunar from this bead.
I nodded, clenching my palms.
“Soul, to be exact.”
Although Dofute’s body was restored, she was unable to resurrect the already dead soul.
I don’t think it will be possible in the future.
But. I don’t know how to do that yet.
So. First, I chose a method of storing my soul.
After hearing my explanation, the intangible asked, “Is that possible for a human?” He made a dumbfounded face.
“I’ll let you meet someday.”
“…Okay.”
Muhyeong nodded his head calmly and then opened his mouth.
“You. I think you’ve done that ‘twice’ before.”
“Is this bastard in a bad mood? He’s been looking at me the whole time?”
I glossed over his words, argued with him a bit, and returned home.
I went straight into the kitchen, went to the market, took out carefully selected ingredients, and started cooking.
It took an hour, and the dishes were so delicious that I wanted to give them to Roff-chan.
I want to give it to Rope-chan, but I’ll hold on.
This is his.
I closed my eyes and called to him.
Turtle God.
Sooooow
Next moment. I am a valley in the mountains. Or, I was at a place that looked like ruins on an island.
This is on the turtle god’s shell.
It is his, the world of the divine beast.
This is what I felt after experiencing various worlds, such as a temple, the world of gods, or a world of tales filled with the energy of gods, but the world of gods is of a different order.
If Shingyeok built his own world, does this space feel like he made the existing world his own…?
It is qualitatively different from the gods coloring the present world with their divine power and creating a field that is advantageous to them.
It’s as if the roots are dyed with their own color… Anyway. It is said that a divine beast is much more powerful than a god.
“What are you doing?”
I heard an anxious voice from above my head.
When I raised my head, the turtle god, drool flowing from his mouth, whipped around with his shell. It was spinning around.
“Stop teasing and bring it quickly, you special chef.”
“Yes.”
I rushed over and offered the food to the turtle god.
“Purrrrp.”
When the turtle god closes his mouth, it is amazing to see the food being sucked into his small mouth.
“My, my…!”
A turtle has a happy expression on its face, just like a human.
This is Turtle God’s world, which many people come to twice a month, and it makes me proud as the person who makes it to eat it so deliciously every time I come.
After cleaning it up, haa… After sighing with satisfaction, the turtle god craned his neck and gestured towards him, asking me to come over.
“Excellent chef. Press here.”
He craned his neck back and was scratching the middle of his shell.
I did as he told me and climbed onto the shell of a human-sized turtle. Hold. Pressed with his hand.
“Keuuuuu At me now we see that she is also a top class masseuse…!! Wow!”
Turtle God, whose voice sounds sleepy as if he is really in a good mood rather than just empty words.
I think I’ll fall asleep soon.
Before going to sleep, he debated whether or not to ask this person about Faikatsu, but then decided against it.
It’s something you can ask when you wake up or come back later.
I’m trying to sleep comfortably, so I need to be considerate.
At that moment, the turtle god spoke.
“Due to the will of the dimension, I cannot tell you everything…”
“Uh.”
It seems he already knew what I was doing.
The turtle god continued speaking in a sleepy voice.
“However, Yohoshin is different…”
“You say Yohosin is different?”
“Yes… That guy was a monster king who became a god… A being as old as me… He is in a unique position in many ways, so if you meet the conditions, he will be able to tell you the answer to your question…”
“Oh…! Thank you!”
I can see the road.
Normally, I would worry about how to meet Shinsu, but I know the person who will connect me to Yohoshin.
It’s a bit embarrassing to see your face, but we haven’t seen each other in quite a while. It might be okay to stop by to say hello.
I pressed the turtle’s shell with gratitude, and in the middle, I thought the turtle’s sleepy face was cuter than I thought, so I stroked its neck.
As soon as the turtle god who had been dozing off fell asleep, he returned to his original world.
I hope you have a good night’s sleep.
Okay then. Now that we have the information, let’s get started right away.
I immediately left the house and opened the front door.
And I tilted my head at the unexpected person standing in front of the door.
A beautiful woman in a gorgeous red dress.
This woman is similar to Frosty, but unlike her noble and beautiful counterpart, she has a strong sense of authority…
“…What kind of empress was she?”
“It’s Scaldia!!”
The Empress shouted with an angry look on her face.
Okay. She had that name.
But why here…?
They look at me strangely. Sreung! She drew her sword.
“You know your sin!”
“…”
Why are you doing this again…
