310. Underwater (1)
“Send a punitive force and schedule a regular inspection of the church. “This is Amelia’s idea?”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
Seonghwang was sitting in his office looking through a pile of documents. Next to him, as always, Administrator Dorian is bowing his head, waiting for his final approval.
It was about the Cyprus Union, which has been whining and sending messages frequently recently.
“It’s not just a day or two that they request a maritime demonic beast subjugation team. “There is no clear damage yet.”
“Hana, Princess Amelia, paid particular attention to this fishing suspension situation. Of course, she said that sending a punitive force from the empire would do more harm than good.”
“So you’re saying you’re conducting a church audit in parallel?”
“Yes, Your Majesty. It is expected that costs can be significantly reduced by carrying out the work simultaneously. In addition, since their unreasonable request is being granted, they said that even if a high-intensity audit is involved, there will not be a big noise from the union.”
Seonghwang rested his chin and thought for a moment.
Amelia, I had no idea that the child knew the truth of what was happening on the coast of Cyprus.
But Amelia clearly said that she returned from the future to the past. If so, she may be preparing the child for something of her own.
‘I tried to move Sir Leandros first, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to set Amelia up like this… … .’
It seemed like a good idea to conduct a church audit without giving any time to prepare. It will be an opportunity to tear apart the Cyprus union and church forces, which have recently been trying to come together.
Seonghwang’s thoughts were moving positively, but Dorian hesitated and added a word.
“And what happened to Prince Logan… … .”
“Logan?”
“yes. “If Prince Logan finds out about this, he will not just sit back and watch, but will organize a punitive force.”
“… … .”
That’s right.
No matter how much they persuaded him to increase his allowance, the upright child had the temper to ignore the hardships of his subjects.
Seonghwang, completely convinced, nodded.
“Execute it immediately.”
“If you do… … .”
“If Amelia judged it that way, then so be it. “It seems like there is no need for the administration to reconsider her.”
“… … .”
thud.
A royal seal that is stamped very easily. Dorian was speechless for a moment and looked at the castle.
Dorian, too, was skeptical about the princess’s political skills that were not appropriate for her age.
However, no matter how I looked at the success, I felt that it was going too far. They sometimes show an incomprehensible level of trust in their children’s judgment.
“If you do, we will immediately create a budget and execute it together.”
“I know.”
It was just as Dorian was about to hand over the documents that had been approved.
Startle.
Seonghwang is suddenly startled by something and stares blankly into space with a stiff face.
“… … ?”
Thanks to this, Dorian, who had been holding out his hand, hesitated and raised his head in confusion.
In the past, I would not have dared to look directly at God’s representative, but after working closely with him for a long time, I now sometimes feel bold enough to look at his face.
And there, there were strange eyes that Dorian was familiar with. Eyes that give off an inorganic glow and are somehow out of focus.
The air in the office suddenly freezes as Seonghwang stops moving. An eerie silence, as if even a speck of dust sparkling under the sunlight had been stuffed into the air.
‘Has something big happened…? … .’
Under heavy pressure, Dorian doesn’t know what to do and just breaks into a cold sweat.
Tuk.
Only Chamberlain Louis, who was standing behind him, accepted the royal seal that was about to slip from the Holy Emperor’s hand with a calm face.
How much time has passed?
Blink.
Eventually, Seonghwang blinked once, and his eyes returned to focus, and the silver glow slowly faded away. At the same time, the frozen air in the office becomes light as if it were a lie.
“Phew… … .”
I don’t know what it is, but it looks like it’s over.
When Dorian, relieved, let out the breath he had been suppressing, Seonghwang opened his mouth and handed him the document as if nothing had happened.
“Dorian, are you getting married soon?”
Dorian lowered his head in sadness at that unexpected question.
“yes. “Yes, Your Majesty.”
It’s still just a covenant between the parties, so how do you already know? Such questions would be meaningless in the face of God’s representative.
The person with whom Dorian promised his future was a fellow employee in the administration, and unlike his weak self, she was a very confident young woman. He was drawn to her and committed a speeding violation, even though she was belatedly making her hasty wedding preparations.
However, as Seonghwang looked back at Dorian, a strange joy appeared in his eyes, even if it was only for a moment.
“okay. From now on, prepare your heart well. “Children are always beings who far exceed their parents’ expectations.”
“… yes?”
“When you teach them one thing, children are able to think through their application skills to the point of feverishness. “When I taught him how to draw with tree branches, he stopped drawing the picture I was told to draw and before I knew it, he was trying to play with fire with the tree branch in his hand.”
“… … ?”
I don’t know what to say and my mouth is gaping…
“Puuk,” Seonghwang sighs deeply and adds softly.
“So, I wish you good luck too.”
“… … .”
Dorian hesitated, not knowing what to say. Then, my eyes met with Louis, the Chamberlain, who was standing behind the Holy Emperor.
Then the old man smiled warmly and slowly shook his head at Dorian. Even though he didn’t say anything, the meaning of that smile was clear.
-Don’t worry. Could it be that there are other people in this world like the princes and princesses of the Seonghwang family?
ah.

Suddenly, I felt very sorry for the representative of the Supreme God, but-
‘No, what am I thinking!’
Dorian quickly shook his head hastily, shaking those unholy thoughts away.
* * *
[What is it? Is it magic?]
[Lee Seong-jin! Where did this fire come from? Have you checked the opposing wizard?]
[Magic? Was there such magic in the Pangea Chronicle?]
Little Demon King No. 2 blazing, revealing an alien presence in the air.
The silent villains and the mole engineer approach in a panic. Seongjin looked at them and smiled a little proudly.
How do you feel? The power of this body. Very surprising, right?
[Newbie. It’s dangerous, so get away from there.]
At that time, Owen pushed Seongjin away with a worried look and tried to put his hand on the flame. It may have been an attempt to roughly disperse it, but-
Wow!
He fell backwards before he could even touch the flame. Because the baby goat’s hoof hit Owen’s forehead hard.
“100 million!”
Owen screamed and fell backwards.
Degurrr-
“Why are you hitting me again?”
After rolling a few laps, Owen jumps up and shouts with an aggrieved expression. But instead, Seongjin raised her voice and she became angry at him.
“men and horses! Now you know what this is and you’re trying to mess with it! uh?”
“… huh?”
No matter how much my father told me to be polite, what can I do if his behavior is so poor! If you do something wrong, you should get it right!
“Do you know what happens once this gets on your body?”
“What happens?”
But even without Seongjin explaining, everyone soon knew the answer.
Grumble!
While Seongjin was turning towards Owen, Gureub gently touched the flame with his hair.
Dark red flames quickly spread through the beautiful ranger’s hair.
[Ugh!?]
[this? Group!]
Everyone was shocked, but the solution was quick. This is because Seongjin, who had pulled out his sword, swung his arm towards him like lightning.
Shukang!
As the beginner’s sword drew a long solid line, the ranger’s long hair instantly became stronger.
Hood!
Hair fluttering in the air is engulfed in flames and quickly disappears.
Eventually, Demon King No. 2, which completely burned the group’s hair, burned alone in the air for some time before finally disappearing without a trace.
[…] … !]
Everyone gaped at the sudden situation.
[Damage was inflicted on a group with high fire defense! That seems to be a higher level magic than it looks!]
[But my leg was cut off by a party member? how? This is the green zone, right?]
[for a moment! Now it’s not hair, it’s legs?]
For some reason, the hair had moving joints, and it seemed that the group had attached one of its remaining legs to the avatar’s hair.
“Now, did you see it? “What did you just almost touch?”
Seongjin frowned at Owen. But for some reason, Owen was staring blankly into the empty space where Demon King No. 2 had disappeared with her stiff face.
Why is that guy acting like that all of a sudden?
“… Newbie, are you hurt anywhere?”
Eventually, Owen comes to his senses and approaches Seongjin and asks.
Seongjin glanced at him, then responded with a sullen expression.
[The accident occurred because it was Gurreub-la-lab-gurl-leub-bi-keul-eul-leub, so why are you asking me?]
[Ah, that’s right. Are you okay, group?]
Then the beautiful ranger, who was tracing the back of her hair with one hand, smiled. Luckily for her, there didn’t seem to be any significant damage to the group.
[No need to worry! As long as I have one leg left, I will always be alive and well! Thank you for your quick judgment, Seongjin Lee!]
[Good luck, friend. But what really was that fire just now?]
On the other hand, there was someone who was looking at them with a rather serious expression. It was Hatasu Titi.
[Group. It’s really strange that you didn’t react at all to Lee Seong-jin’s attack.]
Of course, Seongjin’s actions were purely to help the group. But that’s just a consequential story.
Didn’t he swing the sword first without any hesitation? It seemed like Gureub, the hero of the reversal, would react in some way, at least reflexively.
Doesn’t this seem like he firmly believes that Lee Seong-jin will never harm him?
[No matter how you look at your reaction to Seongjin Lee, it is not rational at all.]
Among the silent villains, Hatasu Titi was the one who obediently followed Seongjin’s words from the beginning.
However, it was based on a reasonable judgment that it was worth following him. Surprisingly, among the current silent villains, he was the one who was treating Seongjin the most selflessly.
‘Lee Seong-jin is a strange being… … .’
A fourth guest ID user that did not exist before.
A strange flame that suddenly appeared and disappeared.
Hatasu Titi could not have known that every time she was with Lee Seong-jin, completely unexpected things would happen.
However, Lee Seong-jin’s response to this is also understandable every time, so I have followed him without any hesitation until now.
‘But everyone’s reaction is somewhat strange.’
Look at Owen, who treats Lee Seong-jin, a beetle, as his neighborhood brother, saying it’s his hometown.
Before, I thought he was a pretty strong person, but now he’s still laughing and thinking it’s cute even after being hit on the head by a baby goat several times.
Contrary to their sloppy appearance, the same goes for the group that rarely gives their hearts to others. For some reason, I truly believe in Lee Seong-jin so much.
‘Isn’t this like being fascinated by something? … .’
A terrifying ability possessed by evil things that the elders always warned about. Somehow, Hatasu Titi had no choice but to think carefully about Lee Seong-jin’s identity once again.
At that moment, the beautiful ranger’s glass-clear eyes stared at Hatasu Titi.
[Hatisu Titi. [I can understand what your concerns are.]
[Group. Are you aware that the current situation is a little strange?]
[Know. But I believe what my gut says inside me. A warrior’s intestines never lie.]
[…] Is that so.]
Hatasu Titi is a purebred Mashu tree. There was no way I could understand the feeling of my internal organs pounding.
I just felt that the group’s almost blind attitude made my wariness towards Seongjin melt away.
‘but. So far, Seongjin Lee’s judgment has been extremely trustworthy. Besides, don’t the rewards and records so far speak for themselves? It would be difficult to have preconceptions about him out of unnecessary anxiety.’
Meanwhile, the mole engineer fiddled with his goggles and opened his mouth.
[Anyway, how long are you going to spend your time here? This time, I brought a perfect strategy without any errors! Let’s quickly conquer the next theme dungeon?]
The Orc King’s Maze had many variables.
Plus, the strange accident that just happened.
[…] Is it okay?]
The eyes of the silent villains, including Hatisu Titi, naturally focus on the baby goat.
[are you okay.]
And Lee Seong-jin’s strange answer, as if he had expected it.
With that, the party’s path to the dungeon was decided. Hatasu Titi’s eyes deepen as she sees everyone standing up from their seats casually.
[…] … .]
It’s also strange. It’s really strange.
Hatasu Titi thought so for a moment, but before he knew it, he too was gathering equipment along with the other silent villains.
* * *
okay. Seongjin decided, ‘It’s okay.’
The moment I stepped into the themed dungeon, I knew that someone impatient would immediately contact me.
[What are you doing! □□□ □□!]
Suddenly, darkness enveloped his son-in-law, but Seongjin was not embarrassed at all. She soon saw a goddess appear before her eyes and shouted in a trembling voice.
[Woman, Justitia.]
[How have you accepted my warning so far! Good luck to you in this unstable world! Well… … !]
The goddess’s golden spear and bloody eyepatch were the same as before. The only thing that has changed is that my complexion has become whiter than before.
Is it okay to go back to a themed dungeon where something unexpected might happen?
Oh, it’s okay. I’m going to kill the guy who is the root of it anyway.
Ugh… … .
You can also feel an unsightly presence rustling in the back.
Justitia of Darkness.
The guy who had tasted the bitter taste of Demon King No. 2 before had parts of his body and seaweed-like hair disappearing in clumps.
The parts that were still intact were soaked in black blood. Physical damage, not burn marks.
okay. If I hadn’t cut off the healthy part, Gehenna’s fire would probably have burned to the end.
[You managed to survive?]
The guy gritted his teeth in response to Seongjin’s light greeting. It’s amazing how you can feel the gaze of hatred in the gaping eye sockets.
But when the guy tried to approach Seongjin again-
Grumble!
Little Demon King No. 2 appears in front of Seongjin again.
Kieeek!
The dark Justitia could not bear to approach again and widened her distance.
okay. I think we’re finally in the mood to have a proper conversation. Seongjin looked at the two stiff goddesses alternately and raised the corner of her mouth.
[If you have anything to say, let’s finish it quickly. I have to go quickly and go through the dungeon.]
