Chapter 399 – Chapter 399: The Name of Revenge 1
She must have heard the news of Alexandra, but thanks to the incarnations rushing in, she couldn’t go to the main room, but her mood she seemed to be relieved.
No wonder he laid her head on her thighs and let her thoughts go to the point where the water would wash her down.
“How did you know?”
“That, people from Alexandra’s neighborhood asked for the location of Seongjwa-nim’s accommodation.”
Even though he looks younger, he is still the same as an old man in the countryside of the northern continent, so after wandering around the vast academy, the story reached our children’s ears.
The academy is buzzing about the human sacrifice story, but when a redhead, whom he has never seen before, suddenly asks where Alexandra is, he can’t help but notice her.
What the incarnations returned to the dorm, full of worries about her, saw Alexandra lounging on her sofa, feeling lethargic instead of depressed. The incarnations, relieved of their worries at the sight of her carefreely waving her hands, pick up snacks and start talking loudly.
But seeing that everyone came back early because they were worried about their friends, I’m glad that Hwashin has raised them well.
“Hey, but I have a question.”
“What.”
“The North Continent was originally like that for human sacrifice… Um, are you serious?”
The story of the duel, the story of the game, the story of the academy director doing the deadly sin of plaster, the theory of the academy’s uselessness spreading on the Internet―
Hwashin’s heads turn stiff at Song Yena’s question thrown while talking about various topics.
It’s a question that doesn’t contain a single bit of malice like a girl from a mountain village, but isn’t it a bit ignorant? Alexandra smiles at Hwashin’s eyes, who worry about it. She answers Song Yena’s questions casually, as if she claims to be a North Korean.
“Are you serious? I can’t express it with such a refined expression.”
“How long have you been talking about that?”
The incarnations are more relaxed at Alexandra’s unconcerned appearance of her. Seeing that, I sneaked in and asked Alexandra a question.
On the sea, one person every 10 minutes comes to the academy, and the efficiency increases, so 2-3 people every hour sacrifice their lives to hold on to the corrupted constellation and prepare large-scale magic.
To simply hold on to it is to sacrifice a human life, but to perform large-scale magic is also a human life. What does it mean to talk like that when the task of literally exchanging people to eradicate a fallen constellation is being prepared?
After receiving my questioning gaze, Alexandra stretches out his arm her and shows me the screen of his smartphone her.
“If you look at this, you’ll know what I mean right away?”
“What?”
“Show me too.”
“Excuse me, Constellation.”
Seeing that figure, the incarnations rushed toward me.
After waiting for a while, wondering how much I would be able to see it, he rubbed my chest and clung to my sides and back.
The screen of the smartphone that catches my eyes even in the rush of my soft chest that presses me here and there.
“Wow what is this…”
“That’s why you say that.”
The incarnations reacted before me, who was distracted by my heart for a moment.
As soon as you see the screen, you can understand the way he clicks his tongue as if he is tired.
“What’s this?”
What Alexandra showed with a grin was a news article with a photo uploaded by an Internet media company in the North Continent.
In the picture, there was a picture of a man with a frown on his face.
Men dressed in traditional blue attire and adorned with colorful threads entwined with threads of various colors were holding up pickets as if demonstrating.
I thought he was a radical machoist believer in the northern continent about men’s rights, but the article below the picture is enough to make me and the incarnations doubt their eyes.
“As you can see, only women were sacrificed for human sacrifice, and there was a protest.”
“Oh my gosh.”
It was good to see that the people of the Northern Continent were not serious about human sacrifice, but rather half-mad.
And I didn’t know that the aftermath would reach the academy.
※
No matter how many people have created a human union under the name of a constellation, the four continents have not been completely unified.
Each continent has a different incarnation, different ideology and inclination, and even a subtle pride fight with the constellations they came from.
Then I could see that everyone had a different idea of human sacrifice.
“Well, I’m from the East Continent. I can’t help but frown a little.”
“I don’t have the right to say that I wanted it, but it’s regrettable. In the end, because of the fallen constellations, the continent will suffer.”
First of all, the opinions of the incarnations of the Eastern continent, who are the closest to the moderate faction, including Soso and Hwang Bo-hye.
As expected from the continent of Moorim people who emphasize meditation and mental training, they understood but did not like it.
Of course, this attitude was not only about human sacrifice, but also about the incarnations of the northern continent who relieve stress with drugs. From the perspective of people from the East Continent, the Northern Continent seems a bit excessive, with drugs and human sacrifices in pursuit of efficiency.
“Because it’s your own death. It’s no different from citizens donating blood and organs for soldiers on the frontlines.”
“It’s an overkill for a terrorist who doesn’t know the honor. If only there was a way to track it, there would be no human sacrifice.”
Next came the opinions of the incarnations of the western continent who value honor and chivalry, including the muscular female knight Helena.
Like the western continent people who are most passionate about dueling, they do not deny human sacrifice, whether they have an idea that values honorable death.
However, he felt regret in that he had to perform inefficient acts such as human sacrifice because he could not directly destroy the fallen constellation and punish it. When they felt that the East Continent was inhumane, there were many expressions that seemed to feel that the West Continent was inefficient.
“Human sacrifice has also developed because it is a useful card that mankind can use.”
“Well, it’s what the Constellations spread, wouldn’t it be nice if we could use it?”
The southern continent, like the continent of shamans, had no appreciation for sacrifices at all, perhaps because human sacrifice was considered a major branch of magic.
The incarnations of the Southern Continent responded with a feeling like ‘That magic really works’ to the act of one person dying every 10 minutes or a thousand people sacrificing themselves to hold on to the constellation. They seem to think that if the fallen constellation can be eliminated with the lives of civilians who are not incarnated, it will be a surplus business.
“I think it would be very honorable to spend a full night with Constellation-nim and become a sacrifice.”
“The war-experienced generation took all the seats, so they couldn’t even use resources and were kicked out?”
And the reaction of the incarnations of the Northern Continent, which is clearly compared to the three continents.
“You also applied for human sacrifice?”
“Yes. But even the generation that has a grudge against the fallen constellation doesn’t accept it because it’s full and overflowing.”
A female prosecutor from the North Continent with a look that reminds her of a Barbie doll smiles, asking what’s wrong.
It’s not heavy enough to lie on the bed and talk about it, so it’s a story that makes you feel sick. With a bright smile on her face, she says things like ‘She has sex with a handsome man and becomes a victim is a wonderful life’, so it’s hard to understand.
Pure white skin, wavy blonde hair like melted gold, and deep blue walls. It’s kind of shocking to hear such a thing from a beauty who can live on her looks her even in a world where men and women are reversed.
A beautiful appearance that can be called the top of the world even in the reverse world with a high average appearance. A bright future guaranteed by becoming an incarnation at a young age and entering the academy. He has quite a bit of talent, so he played an active part in the arena and ended up bonding with me… Even though everything was guaranteed, she was envious of being a human sacrifice.
“Uh… Are the incarnations from other northern continents like that?”
“Yes! Have you seen the news article? Right now, the mainland of the North Continent is in a frenzy to send protesters to the academy.”
“Oh, the news. I saw the men’s rights stuff.”
“Men’s rights? It’s just a masochist civic group trying to get subsidies, and that’s what it really is.”
Even around the world, there are civic groups that pay taxes.
Thinking of that, she pulled out her arm that was holding her as an arm pillow and showed her her smart phone her. Instead of a single man holding her placard, a group photo of dozens of people dressed in white was highlighted on her screen of her.
“Give us the right to die… What do you mean?”
“It’s literally. All the people who are chosen as sacrifices for human sacrifice this time are my grandmother’s generation, so they’re the ones who were directly harmed by the apocalypse.”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
“So there are quite a few people who insisted on making more sacrifices just to be more certain.”
“… Are you going to sacrifice someone else?”
“No, they are protesting to be sacrificed too.”
She grins again as if it’s not a big deal, and when she sees my shocked expression on her, she smiles like she’s cute and strokes her hair.
“Those people, they are people who have no talent in combat. They want to avenge the grudge of their grandfather who lost their uncle, so they want to go to the battlefield, but their talent goes somewhere else. Rather than becoming famous as a cook, they want to die for the continent. With the mindset that I would rather die on the battlefield than die in the kitchen.”
The people of the Northern Continent are not fucking Vikings, and their thirst for death is at the level of religiousness.
