303. Demon King No. 2 (1)
Meanwhile, Seongjin, who ran out of Jinju Palace, quickly arrived in front of the main palace. This is because he increased his speed by swinging his aura to his heart’s content.
[what’s the matter? What’s happening all of a sudden, Seongjin Lee?]
The demon king was embarrassed and asked several times, but Seongjin’s heart was so anxious that he couldn’t answer properly. Because there were a lot of things that needed to be discussed with Seonghwang right away.
-father! Looks like Owen is caught up in something strange! As we wait and see, the increasing level of danger seems to be the influence of something called ‘God’s code’. What should I do? Would it be better to just get Owen out?
-ah! But something really strange happened earlier. I was captured by something I don’t know if it was a goddess named Justiti or her system, but suddenly Demon King No. 2 appeared there! It is clearly a normal world, but flames could also exist. Just like that [niche] from before! What happened?
-really! By the way, Dad, do you remember the dwarf engineer you met at the old man’s workshop a while ago? This is a friend named Dexter. Is it okay if I bring him to Delcross? It’s because I find it fascinating. If he can come here, he will definitely be of great help to the empire in the future!
However, the moment I arrived and looked at the dark view of the main palace, I realized something.
‘Oops! It’s dawn now!’
I was so anxious that I didn’t even think about the visiting time.
“… “Your Majesty Mores?”
“What are you doing without an escort at this hour?”
The knights of the Royal Guard were on high alert, but soon realized the identity of the visitor and asked in confusion.
“… … .”
Seongjin, who was at a loss for an answer, hesitated for a moment whether to go back. This would have been the case if one of the attendants had not suddenly approached him.
“I was waiting for you to come, Your Majesty Mores.”
Seongjin was greeted with polite courtesy by a tall servant whom he had never seen before.
“What about you?”
“My name is Raphael, sir. “At this time, I am assisting His Majesty the Holy Emperor on behalf of the Chief Chamberlain.”
Well, old Louis won’t be able to stay by Seonghwang’s side all day.
“Go ahead and eat it. “Your Majesty is waiting.”
I went up to the second floor with Raphael’s guidance, and fortunately, the office was brightly lit. And Seonghwang was sitting in his office waiting for him as usual.
“Mores.”
“… … .”
Seeing that neat appearance as usual, Seongjin forgot to say hello and inadvertently asked a question.
“No, what are you doing if you’re not sleeping at this hour?”
Then Seonghwang looked at him blankly, tilted his head to one side as if he was a little puzzled, and asked a question.
“Weren’t you looking for me at this hour?”
“… … .”
Does this mean that he was simply waiting for his arrival?
Seongjin was speechless for a moment.
‘In Delcross… … .’
In this dimension, there are people who are willing to welcome you even if you knock on their door unexpectedly.
Seongjin, who had been dumbfounded for a moment out of strange emotion, came to his senses when Seonghwang made a quick gesture and approached him.
Wow.
With the pouring out of divine power, the fatigue of the whole body is relieved and fatigue comes. Only then did Seongjin realize that her condition was not that good.
I was so excited that I forgot about it for a while, but today I had a really hard time going through the dungeon and got bitten by something that looked like a leech.
Tuk.
When the treatment was over, I felt a shock to my forehead that was difficult to even call it a shock.
“… … ?”
As I looked at Seonghwang in confusion, Seonghwang lightly tapped Seongjin on the forehead again and spoke.
“He may seem a little immature to you, but he is still your senior, Mores. “Do you think you can use it without using your hands like that?”
“… … !”
“Since that child has shown generosity in willingly forgiving your rudeness, you should also respect that child.”
Seongjin felt a little dispirited.
Oh yeah. Of course my father knows. There was no need to rush like this, right?
“But am I mistaken? “Father, do you somehow feel refreshed?”
Then a firm answer comes back.
“Not like that. “Of course, it’s your mistake.”
“but… … .”
“No, Mores.”
“ah… yes.”
Seongjin gave him a suspicious look, but Seonghwang politely tilted his chin and pretended not to see him.
“Sit down.”
As soon as I sat down, as if he had been waiting, Raphael appeared with warm tea.
Rattling.
Although it was not comparable to the Chief Chamberlain, his Melbourne was also very good.
After taking a couple of sips of the fragrant tea, Seongjin soon felt the excitement from earlier subsiding.
“I’m so sorry for interrupting your rest at such a time, Dad.”
“No, it’s okay. “There was probably something he wanted to ask me urgently.”
“Uh, yes. That’s right.”
Seongjin nodded, feeling a little moved for no reason.
-Couldn’t you have just given an answer, at least once, as if giving a prize?
Even though Dexter said so.
Look at this, Dexter. My father is a man who willingly accepts questions from his children even in the wee hours of the morning!
“Your father already knew that Owen was guided by the State Window, right?”
When Seongjin asked a question with a strange sense of satisfaction, Seonghwang slowly nodded.
“How could you not know? “He told me directly before he left.”

Oh, it was like that.
Seongjin also heard from Dasha the story of Owen running away from home.
-Father, Soja is trying to become stronger with the power of this status window. So, unfortunately, I will have to leave my father and brothers and sisters for a while.
By the way, did you really say that out loud to your father? Owen, isn’t this guy even more screwed up than you think?
It seems like those thoughts were clearly expressed on his face. Seonghwang looked at Seongjin with slightly stern eyes.
“Remember, Mores. “That boy is your senior.”
“Ah yes.”
Seongjin answered hesitantly, paused for a moment, and then continued.
“Then, the milestone that Owen has, is that something left by his grandmother?”
Then Seonghwang obediently said yes again.
“okay. I gave the sign to his mother and personally blessed the newborn Owen.”
“Then what about others? Pangea Chronicle, there are other people called Guest ID users. “They all have their own signposts from the Oracle.”
“It’s probably someone else’s milestone. For some reason, it must have been left behind by previous Oracles.”
After answering like that, Seonghwang rested his chin and thought for a moment before continuing.
“Normally, there are not many milestones that one oracle can create. Although he was also a strong oracle, he only left three milestones in his life. “Mores, don’t you know better where each of them is?”
Seongjin nodded.
Seongjin and Amelia’s broken milestones. And Owen’s milestone, the only one left intact. There were three in total.
“Opportunities are limited. Therefore, oracles always create milestones with important and clear goals. If those milestones remain even after death, it is because the future that the oracle who created them foresaw and sought to prepare for has not yet arrived.”
“… … .”
Hatasu Titi, and Gurreupppwalapgurureub Bipyelleup.
This probably means that they were all arranged in advance by an oracle of Kornsim in an unknown past.
Seongjin tilted his head.
“What is the purpose of bringing them into the Pangea Chronicle now?”
“Well, that’s fine. At present, it is difficult to fully understand what the Oracle of the long past was thinking. one… … .”
Seonghwang, who had said that far, slowly raised one corner of his mouth.
“If he was a proper oracle, he would at least not have tried to make arrangements against my will.”
“… … .”
Seongjin, who felt a creepy feeling for a moment, trembled and thought.
This guy laughs really scary sometimes. Have you never once in your life heard someone laugh so viciously?
[…] Who are you saying that to now?]
At that time, a low muttering sound comes from Seongjin’s head. He was a devil bastard who never opened his mouth when he was with the Holy Emperor.
‘… Hey, devil? ‘What are you talking about all of a sudden?’
[…] … .]
However, the Demon King once again locked himself inside the flame crystal and kept his mouth shut.
Seongjin was dumbfounded.
‘I’m going to see all these boring guys… … .’
Seongjin grumbled internally and continued asking questions to Seonghwang.
“Are you saying that Grandmother arranged the future for Owen? “Why?”
A signpost that shows the path Oracle must take.
Just three chances to change the future. But why did she leave a milestone for her godson, not Seonghwang or anyone else?
Then Seonghwang looked at Seongjin blankly for a moment.
“I cannot fully understand the deep meaning of Eomamama. “One thing is certain.”
“What is that?”
“If something were to happen to Owen, Mores, wouldn’t you do whatever it takes to protect the child?”
“No, well… … .”
Embarrassed, Seongjin pouted his mouth shyly.
Of course, there are many things I dislike about him, and the more I look at him, the more foolish he becomes. Still, it’s not like I have no intention of helping the people of Seonghwangga.
“So, the arrangement for that child is ultimately an arrangement for you as well as an arrangement for me.”
“hmm.”
Right. It seems that my wise grandmother decided to take care of the poor boy instead of my busy father.
Seongjin came to that conclusion clearly.
“But there’s still something I don’t understand. The Pangea Chronicle that I experienced, that is, the normal world that Owen got caught up in. “Unlike the normal world, it was a very unstable and dangerous place, father.”
“okay. “It seems like that.”
In the eyes of Seonghwang, who answered calmly, a faint silver glow lingered for a moment and then disappeared.
Maybe now, in his eyes, he can really see the various incidents that Seongjin and Owen went through. Seongjin continued asking questions with such strange confidence.
“Then what is the real reason Grandmother dragged Owen there? He said he needed to find something important, but the status window didn’t give him a specific way to get it.”
“… … .”
“That’s why I have this suspicion. Perhaps the purpose of the status window is not to focus on items, but simply to keep Owen in the Pangea Chronicle for as long as possible. And father… … .”
After pausing for a moment, Seongjin looked directly at Seonghwang and asked the question he had really wanted to ask from the beginning.
“Don’t you already know that, father? So even though Owen is wandering around such a dangerous place, you are just leaving him alone, right?”
Seonghwang then looked at Seongjin with a strange expression, and then slowly lowered his eyes without answering.
Seongjin was confident about this.
Yes, this gentleman’s silence is positivity.
“… “There are two reasons why I leave the imperfect normal world alone.”
After a while of silence, Seonghwang finally opened his mouth quietly.
“First, unless the safety of Delcross is greatly threatened, I cannot step forward and interfere with other dimensions first.”
“… “It’s an agreement.”
Seongjin immediately pointed out what he had not said.
Of course, that doesn’t mean it’s literally impossible. Isn’t he the type of person who can create new dimensions whenever he puts his mind to it?
This is probably a strict restriction from the ‘Council of Six’ to not carelessly interfere with other dimensions unless there is a proper cause and effect.
Seongjin’s words seemed to be correct, and Seonghwang continued without further comment.
“And the second thing, Owen, is because he unconsciously wants it.”
“… yes?”
Seongjin blinked at that unexpected answer.
“He wants it? He’s putting himself in danger?”
“Is that possible? “Owen just wants to lose his mind in the normal world.”
Seonghwang shook his head bitterly and continued.
“If you don’t, you’ll never be able to sleep properly.”
