Chapter 338 – 3. Prestige (5)
She felt very embarrassed at the shocking fact that she did not know what even Roa knew, but Yuria readily admitted it.
Because Roa was such a child.
No, he can’t be called a child anymore, he’s naughty and mischievous, and he’s very bright, but still, a very pure and huge good has settled inside him.
Roa’s fundamental personality is still beyond the level of being nice to people, because he has a kind heart that is almost like a hogu.
Of course, since he no longer has the innocence of his childhood, Yuria’s charm of Roa is greatly diminished, but he still only looks at himself, even if he reveals his color. He couldn’t hate Roa, who really loved him with all his heart, and rather, the more he went, the deeper his love for Roa was.
At first, it was said that he had a sense of qualifications in his unclean body and mind, and could not stand upright on his own, so he leaned on Loa. His love for Roa continued to deepen.
And, I don’t know what I learned from Jincheong, but even though it was a little clumsy, I saw a prince-like figure from Loa at the moment, so my heart fluttered so much that it was heart-throbbing.
“Fool…”
You said It’s not that I don’t like it.
If the atmosphere was set well, even if it didn’t change that much…
“Mueuu…”
YuRia, who slapped both cheeks, caught her spirit again in a situation where she kept getting upset.
What would her old subordinates say when they saw her now?
Would they rejoice when they looked at her with great pity for herself? Will you be shocked will you be sad
In this and that many things, I sometimes regretted choosing Roa, felt despair, and often wondered if I had come to a path I shouldn’t have taken, but now, I definitely don’t regret the choice I made that day.
Because she was bonded with Loa, she found herself lost. Because her abandoned dream has come true.
She said that her expression had changed this way, she had changed that way, and suddenly felt ashamed. He held the child in his arms.
Hwaak –
Crossing the gate was always a strange feeling.
Places that are far from each other face each other across a thin film, so the moment you cross the space, the feeling of the air is distinctly different.
Barometric pressure. Temperature too. Humidity too. Even the smell of the air, which we are not usually aware of.
When you cross the gate like this, you realize that the air has a smell.
It’s not long before you get used to the air here anyway, so you won’t feel it soon enough.
Delis’ child was not used to such a sudden change of air, so it was very different. ‘ And frowned at her.
YuRia, who drove her horse and moved her carriage out of the facility at her gate, looked at the child who was still making a strange expression on her face, and she said that thinking about it, she seemed to feel the same way herself. She thought.
Since when
At first, he didn’t notice much because of the pressure the world was putting on him, and after that, he rarely left the kingdom of Selton, and his body and body were in such bad shape. I felt it clearly now that I had gone from being a ‘general patient’ to a ‘general patient’.
The air in Shelton is something different from other places.
What’s different?
It felt like he finally understood why he had settled in a kingdom without returning to Shelton even after his work in a kingdom was over.
There are also things that the house built in the kingdom of Selton has fallen into disrepair. The country was swept away by Crimson Ant, but it must have been instinctive.
That the Shelton kingdom itself was not good for him.
However, living in the Sorby Empire was still a bit difficult.
Although Tia is working hard to prepare an environment where he can live without any problems in the Sorby Empire as soon as possible, he still needs another year.
Generally, about 5 years.
If you continue to rush like you are halfway through it like now, it will still be 3-4 years.
However, because of that, Yuria was even more anxious.
The fact that she is trying to go ahead with her work like that means that she has changed greatly from the future she already knew.
For once, Delis’ child seemed to have gotten used to Shelton’s atmosphere quickly, but her expression relaxed, but Yuria couldn’t stop thinking about her.
What the hell happened in Shelton and what’s going on?
The false sky!!
“Whoa”
There was no end to catching and catching those damn bastards.
Loudness is also noisy, but the contents and ideas of their arguments are very dangerous, so if we leave them alone, there is a fear that they will be involved in treason or blasphemy, so we have no choice but to restrain them.
Above all, as the atmosphere keeps getting worse, even the child I got a long-awaited one can hardly stay still and keeps crying…
‘To be very tough to stop such nonsense, that’s what causes anxiety to the people and there is no answer.’
Count Baran was really troublesome in many ways.
Even if it’s not, it’s the least damaged in the Crimson Ant Crisis, excluding the metropolitan area, and now it’s the only territory that has developed more than before the Crimson Ant Crisis.
Even if it wasn’t, while the surrounding territories disapproved of the territories they wanted to run alone and were looking for something to complain about, their nonsense really made the count’s head rot.
Even if it has improved compared to before, that is a story from the outside, and the desired territory was suffering from internal conflict in many ways.
In fact, the former possessions of the territories have become obsolete, and while everyone is starting anew, the dissatisfaction of those who have had a lot of previous things is bound to be high, and giving them a lot of things will obviously cause a great sense of deprivation to the majority of citizens. It was also difficult.
In the first place, everything was swept away by the Crimson Ant, which he did not take away from them, and in fact, it should be said that it was fortunate that his life was saved in the disaster, but the human mind tended to think only of himself once the dangerous moment passed.
In addition, the new town made by Yuria certainly laid the foundation for rapid development, but it is not only the new town that maintains the territory.
The fields that had been neglected by the Crimson Ants were largely devastated, and even if the Crimson Ants did not touch them because there were no people, many infrastructures were damaged just by the passing of the large army, and reorganization of them is still in progress.
For this, a very large amount of money was consumed and compared to other territories, but the desired territories were also suffering from a chronic shortage of manpower and talent.
The territory he had hoped for in so many ways was in a very unstable state.
‘If someone attacks at a time like this, the barely maintained territory might be in jeopardy’
Everything that others could covet existed in the desired territory.
An almost intact city.
Compared to other territories, the territories were maintained intact.
Huge subspace warehouses that have been successfully preserved by burying them in the ground.
It’s definitely unstable now, but the Baran Territory is still stabilizing, and if a few more years pass like this, the Baran Territory will be able to firmly establish its current development.
In the midst of such a commotion, a sigh came out on its own.
“Count…”
Karna, the wife of a former mercenary, was looking at herself with a child in her arms.
“Whoa, ma’am. I didn’t tell you to call me comfortably.”
“I’m sorry. That doesn’t make it that easy.”
Due to the surrounding territories who were jealous of the Baran Territory, the Baran Territory was in fact isolated, and so the only trade route of the Baran Territory was the upper euro line.
The stakes of the Shelton Kingdom branch of the top of the euro are in the desired territory, so this castle is being maintained and the sale of goods is also maintained. It was unstable in many ways as all purchases of goods were made only through the top of the euro.
As long as YuRia is there, the euro corps won’t be manipulative, so it’s not such a big problem. Come.
“Count. YuRia is still our daughter, so why don’t you ask for some help?”
“Whoa…”
In the first place, the reason why the child became her daughter was that she adopted it to repay the favor she received from the child, not to really take it as her daughter.
In such a relationship, isn’t it insincere to ask for something instead of doing something on your side?
Even if it wasn’t so, the wished land had already received so many things from that child.
The fact that most of the villagers survived from Crimson Ant.
These new towns, which are the basis for the great revival of the Baran estate.
In the relationship with the surrounding territories that have been messed up, the wished territories can still maintain their own wealthy status.
That school that nurtures the talents of Yeongji.
From one to ten, there was nothing that Yuria had not touched.
“What shame does she have to ask him for help again?”
“…”
In this situation where the light was only increasing instead of repaying the light, the Count of Hope couldn’t possibly call Yuria.
If he sees a situation like this, he will definitely roll up both his hands and feet and step out to help.
Under…
Come to think of it, even calling her a child was ridiculous.
Judging by the age reported to the outside world, she is well past her 20s. Aren’t you actually older than yourself?
But the count still saw the figure of the short, blue-haired girl.
Very beautiful I was very advised…
I had dark eyes…
“Ah?”
In fact, the appearance of Yuria she hadn’t seen in a while was so different from what the Count had imagined, that her head stopped for a moment.
Her height, which used to be so small, was now quite large for a woman. The eyes that were dark somewhere were now shining brightly.
“I’m sorry, father.
Seeing Yuria, who has been giving a very modest and noble aristocratic greeting, slightly bending her waist, and a small girl slightly sticking her head out from behind such Yuria, the Count, who had stopped her thoughts, regained her senses and groaned! And coughed in vain.
“It’s been a while”
Why? YuRia, who seemed to have no self-esteem, but always maintained her confidence, now, on the contrary, regained her self-esteem, but for some reason she seemed to be lacking in confidence.
“Why?”
“That, that… My little brother was born…”
The Count understood why YuRia was reacting like that, and a smirk came out.
“Isn’t it okay? I’m sure it’s a bit sad, but in the first place, this kite was made to repay the light I lost to you, so you can do it as you please.”
“Still, until one day I completely move to the Empire, I am my father’s daughter.”
“Yeah…Thank you for coming even now. Now that you’re here, how about taking a look at her little brother?”
“Then, gladly”
YuRia looked at the baby in Karna’s arms and she looked at him with a smile.
An ordinary old man’s baby.
Hosea and Joshua are half modern humans like themselves. Elsa and Liza developed too fast to be called old people.
In that sense, the baby in front of me was a properly ‘normal’ baby of the old human race.
“This child is my brother.”
Plain brown hair and light blue eyes.
Watching the baby babble, “Aw,” YuRia quietly stroked her baby’s head.
“She should have visited her when the child was born… I’m sorry”
“No. I heard that. I don’t know what situation you were in.”
Heart is pulled out Suffering from a burning pain that never ends.
“Still, if you’ve recovered, you should have paid more attention to the people around you… So I brought a present to the two of the apologists.”
“A present? Oh, by the way, is that baby a new baby?”
At those words, Yuria smiled a little awkwardly.
“I’m Delis’ child.”
“Ah?”
Did the count say that too? And looked at her child.
That would be the case, because Delis, whom he handed over to YuRia, was quite capable in his own way.
She was a talent that she cherished quite a bit, but because of that, she was able to be hit by Yuria even more.
“I guess I’m getting older too. She said that she already became the mother of such a big child.”
Come to think of it, is that Delis kid also in his 30s now?
The Count thought how quickly time passed.
After a while. Seeing Yuria’s presents standing outside her mansion, the count looked closely at her strange wagon, oblivious to its purpose.
But even so, he couldn’t quite understand its use.
“What is this?”
“Your father must have heard of Talos.”
“Yes. And in our territory, Yuria, I know that the people you gathered have been researching and developing for a long time… Could it be that the core is the biggest stumbling block in making Talos?”
Yuria slightly shook her head at that.
“It’s impossible to do something like that. But… I wonder if I tried a slightly different direction.”
As YuRia turned the steering wheel on the side of her carriage, the lid of her carriage began to lift.
A giant body made of metal without a head that appears to be about 2 to 3 meters tall.
The count pondered for a moment what this was, and suddenly he had an idea about the identity of this object.
“Micro Talos?”
“Yes. 20 minutes with combat output. If it is normal output, it is possible to be active for about 3 hours. It is possible to charge manastones with a knight’s aura or magician’s magic, but it is impossible to mix and charge the two. You have to fully discharge it to recharge the other side’s mana, and as you can see”
YuRia also turned the handle to open the lid behind her, and another Talos appeared inside it.
“You can operate two units like this, and the magic stone is installed inside the wagon, so Talos is automatically charged when stored.”
“Like…”
“If you periodically charge extra aura from the knights, you will be able to use it in case of an emergency.”
At YuRia’s words, the Count looked at the metal giant in front of him.
“It’s amazing. Could it be that the reason for the two is to give it to Karna and me?”
“I just gave it as a gift, the count will decide how to use it.”
He said so, but the Count could feel it subtly.
He said from the beginning that it was a gift for himself and Karna, so it is true that it was given to his wife and his wife.
“Thank you. I will take good care of this gift.”
“It’s stronger than expected, so it doesn’t matter if you handle it harshly… If something breaks, please tell me anytime. If nothing else happens, I’ll fix it right away.”
“Yeah, got it”
It’s not going to break anything.
If it’s destroyed, it’s destroyed. It’s more precise and delicate than you think, but they’re tougher than the AK series.
“New sky!! The sky!! Oops!!”
The Count sighed when he saw that the loud shouting outside had finally stopped.
“Looks like you’ve finally been caught.”
“There seem to be a lot of people like that these days. Shall I take a look?”
“Hmm?”
YuRia smiled brightly.
“Maybe you know? I can read the thoughts that come to the surface even if I don’t remember them.”
“Ah…!”
It’s been a long time since I came here as a main body, but I can’t miss the opportunity to find out information that I couldn’t find out before with dolls.
The zealot who was moaning with a gag in his mouth was brought to the soldiers, and Yuria slightly frowned upon seeing such a zealot.
“What’s going on?”
“This one is full of hate towards me.”
Come to think of it, it’s not strange considering that they mistook the doll they sent to collect information for themselves and tried to kill it without saying a word…
However, the thoughts they had towards themselves were not just simple hatred.
That deep malice was enough to frown on Yuria.
Even Yuria couldn’t understand. Even if she was to some extent, how could such malice be achieved?
Even if he killed that person’s parents, wife, children, exterminated all his relatives, and did all kinds of evil things that YuRia could think of, his malice was so intense that I wondered if it was possible for him to have such malice.
At this point, it was closer to grudge than malice.
Surprisingly, however, it was not resentment.
“Who are you?”
New era! A new sky will open!! Gatekeeper who guards the ancient sky, your time is not far away!
“What is the new sky?”
On the day when the false sky is peeled off, your naked day will be revealed all over the world!
“…”
At this point, it is said that normal thinking is impossible. Is this actually Thought Pollution?
No mental pollution?
“Whoa. I really don’t know, so let’s ask. What is the false sky you are talking about?”
This is the sky now!
“Ha…”
Speechless
No I don’t mind
“What the hell is that false sky! Count Baran? King? Or God? If so, which god?”
This is the sky now!
“The present sky means at least not the beings I mentioned, right?”
At YuRia’s words, the fanatic flinched for the first time, and his thoughts began to drift with a startled look on his face.
In an instant, countless accidents came and went, getting tangled up and chaos, but normally, it would be normal to miss the flow, but Yuria somehow managed to organize everything and catch meaningful information even in the gaps.
“The world… I see. Did you describe that concept as ‘sky’? Is that the only word that can replace the concept of ‘space’ here?”
“Ooh, ooh? Ooh, ooh?!”
“I also got the feeling that this world is nearing the end of its lifespan… But this world is a lie?”
Even in the midst of memorizing and analyzing all of the fanatics’ thoughts that had gone into a frenzy, Yuria, on the other hand, didn’t stop thinking about other things.
Could it be that the current world is not really this world, but a world overlaid on top of it by countless things abandoned here?
After pondering for a while, Yuria soon came up with a hypothesis.
What if humanity really left the earth because it was destroyed?
And since it was a world that had already been destroyed, I threw away a lot of things. As a result, by chance, as a result of various effects, the current world has become…
“Tsk”
It’s still too early to conclude, but if this person’s thoughts were true, this was the most likely hypothesis.
If so, you shouldn’t peel off the false world all the more.
Because the true world they talked about would be a world that has been destroyed.
“Is the name of the new sky Kronos?”
?
What are you talking about?
Huh?
For the first time, the Cultists sent intuitive thoughts, not noise or wild thoughts.
A thought that seemed pure and incomprehensible.
I can’t jump to conclusions on this just yet, but it was a very important fact.
Perhaps, it was a very important clue that Kronos might not be at the center of this situation.
* * *
In the end, after that, I asked a lot of leading questions and looked into the fanatics’ thoughts, and found out a lot of things, but I couldn’t find much influential information.
Belief is important, but fanaticism makes people’s thinking sick.
It limits your ability to think and weakens your imagination and creativity.
In effect, it makes you give up thinking about something yourself.
This is not only in religion, but also in many places, including politics.
Those who have given up on distinguishing and judging what is right for themselves, and who have given up on what is right anymore by being buried in their own formation logic.
To them, justice is not the line, but the logic of their own formation.
No matter how illogical, irrational, and self-contradictory the structure is.
YuRia herself had been similar in some sense until now.
The life of the military academy, which seems to thoroughly deny one’s ego, and the terrible torture-like procedure.
Such as life in the military, which thoroughly shatters individuality.
There was no individual Yuria in it, and the policy of the superior was thoroughly the justice of Yuria.
Even though Yuria’s own position had surpassed even the upper level and there was nothing entangling herself anymore, he just had no one to give orders to him anymore, because Yuria’s accident had already stopped at the time of that day and she had locked herself inside the tower for a long time.
Even after coming out of the tower, it was similar in a way.
Even though the power he had is strong, he gave up thinking and judging himself, and his weak spirit, which was protected in the thick, high, and strong Rapunzel Tower, was so weak that he gave up on standing on his own and depended entirely on Loa even though he came out of it due to Loa.
Is it Rapunzel’s tower she built herself?
Or it was close to the difference between Roa and the new tower.
She was finally able to stand on her own as a rain.
“…”
After all, in a sense, she herself might have been no different from that fanatic.
It differs only in the difference in direction and degree.
I realized it all over again.
How much she had lost. How precious and great was her recovery.
And, in a sense, the attitude he had taken towards Loa so far was a very big disrespect and disrespect to Loa.
To him who was sincere, he wasn’t even sincere.
What I thought was sincere was just something he showed me again by reflecting his sincerity like a mirror with fanaticism toward him.
Even now, YuRia thought and made a resolution that she should really face Roa’s sincerity and treat her with sincerity as well.
But.
They, the new sky that the fanatics say is not Kronos.
If you really want the true face of the destroyed Earth.
Who are the people who instilled such thoughts in them?
For some reason, no matter how much I tried to induce an accident, I just couldn’t figure it out.
