Chapter 83 – Chapter 83 – Say (2)
“Everyone would have been puzzled by the fact that a war broke out for that reason in the first place. Because clashes between shamans and youkai have only occasionally occurred on a minor basis, except for the great wars of the past, there have been only a handful of major conflicts.”
Morgan moistened his red lips with his tongue.
Flapping his skinned wings, he seemed nervous about bringing this up.
“Yes, I knew about it up to that point. It doesn’t make sense that the war broke out because of the lack of land.”
In order to ease Morgan’s tension even a little, I agreed with Morgan’s words.
Morgan nodded at my words, and he spoke again.
“But, no matter how few conflicts there were, the conflict between the shaman and the monster that had piled up during that time was very large. Do you know what it feels like? There have been quite a few cases of serious injuries.”
“It’s not just youkai, it’s the same for other countries, so what?”
Hatred and conflict are inherited.
Moreover, the relationship between youkai and witch doctors has been going on since long ago.
With a history of killing and killing, no matter how peacefully they lived, it was clear that hostility towards each other would remain.
Morgan’s words, already showing signs of uneasiness, made me prepare for what was to come.
“So the beginning of the war broke out with a very simple and obvious fact. The war broke out with just the fact that a monster slaughtered the children of a family of high-ranking shamans while shouting for freedom.”
“Shit.”
I couldn’t believe it, but the war started like this.
It was the worst.
It’s because I haven’t seen it since.
“The shaman’s family became furious with the fact that their lineage had died, and searched for the monster they killed. The identity of the monster was a child of a fairly famous clan. From then on, can you guess roughly? It started. Whatever the cause, seeing the corpses of comrades around is enough reason to go to war. So much blood has been spilled and spilled.”
“Is this where my parents ended the war?”
“Yes, that’s right. The shadow magic that creates something out of nothing and the power of the Imoogi right before ascending to the dragon created a miracle that everyone knows about. The creation of a new world called the Underworld.”
Creation of the world.
It didn’t make sense when I just heard it, but when I learned magic myself, I could see how absurd it was.
It would be difficult to simply create a shadow food soul, but the creation of the world.
All of a sudden, I was horrified by the fact that all the ground I was stepping on was made by my parents.
“Well, after that, as you well know, all youkai and shamans come over to this land over several months. In order to solve the goal of deep conflict, proceed with a plan to help each other. I created an environment where I can live without having it.”
Morgan recounted the war that had been going on up to this point.
However.
The real thing started from now.
As I stared at Morgan with a hard expression, Morgan smiled bitterly.
“But do you know what? In fact, before the creation of the world, the war already showed signs of ending.”
“… Yes?”
I asked what that meant.
It wasn’t that the world was created, and the war was about to end for no great reason.
“We had no choice but to end it. We shed so much blood, and we’re not the only ones living in that world.”
“Ah.”
Morgan’s words made me realize that I forgot one thing.
In the first place, the world is not only made up of shamans and monsters, but the fact that it is made up of the majority of ordinary people.
“Each country was keeping silent because the supporters were different. In the first place, there was no way to take it lightly as civilians suffered one after another. I was going to accept the proposal and end the war, but there was a plan to move on to a much cleaner world than that, and everyone agreed to that side.”
“Then… Isn’t it all good?”
Listening to what I said up to this point, I wondered if I had finally come over to a new world without any setbacks.
But Morgan shook his head.
“No, perhaps it would have been better if the war had been ended by the other nations. Upon coming over here, we made a promise that we would be bound to this side of the world.”
“How is that?”
Isn’t this world exactly the same as the other world?
With a much smaller population, the fact that they can monopolize so many resources.
It was not a promise, but rather an exclusive contract.
“Master, didn’t you notice something strange?”
“What.”
Morgan laughed bitterly.
“The fact that I believed too much in the first place.”
“So which one?”
Morgan habitually took the action of picking up a pipe.
Then, realizing that he was in front of me, he waved his hand away and continued.
“No matter how transcendent they are, the fact that they create a perfect world with no errors. Didn’t you believe too much?”
“… Yes?”
“It’s like that. It means that this world wasn’t perfect in the first place.”
Morgan sighed.
The expression on Morgan’s face that I see now is the same as when I first saw him, languid and full of boredom.
“This fact overlapped, and the shitty situation exploded.”
Morgan’s pink eyes were stained with disgust.
“I’ll explain briefly. Going back to the beginning, the cause of the war. It wasn’t the monsters who cried out for freedom or the shamans in anger, but it was just an artificial war between a certain power group of shamans and a power group of youkai.”
“What is that?”
It’s an artificial war.
What kind of nonsense is this?
Even though I was in shock, I came to my senses to listen to Morgan’s next words.
“Just before the war broke out, the world had improved so much that the trend of shamans and monsters was in an atmosphere of wanting to be slowly forgotten. Except for a few shamans and monsters, most of them were of the opinion that they should disappear into modern culture in this way. Enough for work.”
“……”
As a person who learned witchcraft, I couldn’t refute it.
It may be less efficient than witchcraft, but it is clear that modern civilization was solving most of the needs in society.
“That’s why they waged war. Families and clans who were skilled at taking lives. Families and clans who insisted on maintaining peace were forced into fierce wars to enhance their position. Finally, each country waged war. When they gave their opinion to end it, they pretended to end it neatly. They tried to win new rights with the power they showed up until then.”
“It’s trash.”
I came to a bold conclusion.
Morgan looked at my face, and his pink eyes quivered.
As if you were thinking of someone.
Morgan had a frightened expression for a moment, but he continued to explain as if he had always done that.
“This is where the problem arises. This fact was not revealed immediately after the war, but was revealed to some after everyone migrated to the Underworld. .. Ironically, the reason why I couldn’t kill them appeared.”
“What is it?”
“This world isn’t perfect, and it’s bound to collapse if we don’t sacrifice the vitality of the true blood of high-level shamans and monsters every few weeks.”
Gathering my thoughts, I gestured to Morgan to continue talking.
Morgan looked at me and said clearly.
“The war broke out, and the head of the family or the head of the clan who had previously shouted for peace died. If these evil forces were killed, the true blood could not be extracted. True blood is the life force that can be extracted arbitrarily.”
“Are the 10 lawmakers in the seat now?”
“Not all, but six of them are evil forces.”
“… Shit.”
I spat out a curse.
Just hearing it made me angry.
“One thing they put forward as a condition for offering true blood was to ask them to maintain their power until then. Kim Ji-hye reluctantly accepted the offer and organized a new power structure. Established an academy centered on an altar to offer true blood. And, accordingly, he creates the position of ten members, and he monitors the ten members.”
I pondered.
And I came to one conclusion.
“So, I’m a blind eye to them.”
“… That’s right. Kim Ji-hye’s reach is still higher than that of ten lawmakers, but since they immigrated to this world, they have stretched their own power, so Kim Ji-hye must be in a state of difficulty.”
I could see why Kim Ji-hye hadn’t explained this fact to me until now.
Kim Ji-hye, who usually only acted for me, did not want this to be known.
That the peace my father and mother had built is being tainted by someone.
Furthermore, you might think that if you hadn’t made this world, you could have killed them all.
Kim Ji-hye was hiding the truth from me.
She had something Kim Ji-hye told me.
‘You must be happy unconditionally. You deserve it, don’t worry I’ll help you somehow.’
Because she loved me more than anyone else, she is Kim Ji-hye, who hid the truth.
And because she knew this truth, Hong Ma-dong tried to blow up the world.
It was only now that I felt a sense of understanding.
