Episode 281
In fact, from the time I first strengthened [Holy Mountain’s Protection] and was able to communicate with the executioners… … .
I also thought about the ambassadorial punishment.
If Grand Master wasn’t my enemy, if he wasn’t one of the demon lords of this world… … .
In that case, the person who would have thought more seriously about my work than anyone else and given me thoughtful advice would have been the grand chief.
This is not to say that the camaraderie with capital punishment is particularly deeper than with other capital punishment systems; it is simply a difference in inclination, so to speak.
Other death penalty members, and even myself, tend to have strong independent tendencies. Even our teacher Baek No-gwang was no exception to this.
Even if we gather disciples in the distant future, that teaching method will basically be left behind.
The metabolic type is different.
He knew how to think from the learner’s perspective and preferred a systematic teaching method.
At the same time, he created a situation where he could get the right answer alone at the critical moment.
A person who goes together, not a person who goes ahead.
That’s the line I remember.
[‘The Colorless Demon King’ is looking at you.]
It was the next moment.
In an instant, the blue window where the message appeared turned black, and instantly became huge, covering all directions.
I was suddenly placed in the middle of darkness, and in the midst of darkness everywhere, only a ray of light flickered.
Inside the green fireball, small leaves were constantly fluttering and burning.
“… … .”
I knew that the flame was an ambassador.
I don’t know if it’s the Grand Master’s will, his true self, or just a symbol… … .
I understand the intention.
It seems like the Ambassador type doesn’t want anyone to hear our conversation.
“Is this the second time we meet? “Of course, we haven’t met face to face right now.”
[…] … .]
“It’s only been a few months since we met in this hellish neighborhood, but it seems like a long time ago. “Is that also the case with the death penalty?”
No answer came back.
Basically, he wasn’t a person who was quiet or ignored what he said.
I looked at the vaguely shaking naturalization and blurted out.
“I don’t know what the death penalty is thinking.”
My honest feelings, my true feelings, came out naturally, as if I had been waiting for this moment.
“Not just now, but at every moment. Why was the ambassador excommunicated? Why did he steal Master’s spiritual altar? Do you hate your teacher? So do you hate us too? “What is the colorless devil, and what is the nameless king?”
The questions I had from time to time were layered with unconscious guesses… … . Before I knew it, it had become something that could be called a conclusion.
“In this world, the Colorless Demon King was a being that did not originally exist. On the other hand, the Unknown King was a historical figure who laid the foundation for the empire even when I was living like an idiot. So does this mean that Grand Master is from the same world as me from the beginning?”
I realized something while I was talking.
I can’t hear a single truth about the questions I’ve just asked.
A type of ambassador who spoke unusually little.
The person who thought he would listen to my nonsense, my harsh words, and even my evil shouts was now listening to my sincere questions with one ear.
It felt like that.
Even though I felt it, I couldn’t stop talking.
“When I returned to the past, I learned little by little about the great death penalty, but paradoxically, the more I did, the more I felt like I knew less and less. “There were times when the image of the great figure I remembered seemed like a ghost.”
Clearly, this man was a mysterious person.
He had a lot of secrets and didn’t enjoy talking about himself.
but… … .
Still, I never doubted this man’s nature. He believed that the true intentions behind his embarrassing smile must be good.
What was absurd was that there was still no significant change in that thinking.
“Don’t you want to talk about old times? great. Well then, let’s talk about the present. “As for the advice you gave me earlier, is that advice or a threat?”
[Which way you take it is up to you.]
The ambassador responded for the first time.
I felt a little feverish, but didn’t show it and waited for the next words.
[And you will have to bear the consequences of that choice.]
“Then why did you suddenly appear? “Isn’t it to help me?”
I spoke while unconsciously holding the hilt of the sword on my waist.
“Just like it was in the other world.”
[…] … .]
“Is it so hard to say what you’re thinking? The current ambassador-type seems to be afraid of revealing his true feelings. You want to help me, but you don’t want to show it? Do you think I will accept that in good faith?”
If it was a mistake, it would have been extremely embarrassing, but since I had already said it anyway, I continued.
“I saw a vision shown by Hadeneihar in the other world. Those damn demon bastards coveted me. What, I’ve never been popular in my life, but my first peak was courtship by demons? life… … .”
As I was talking, I burst into laughter again out of bewilderment.
“… However, as they were cutting them down, a great figure appeared.”
[…] … .]
“Did Haden Eihar make it up? Probably not. Because there is no reason to do that. And if I think that my brother-in-law protected me, I am right in many ways. First of all, the reason I became a colorless priest was to protect me from demon lords, right?”
I said, staring at the candlelight.
“It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer. Because if you don’t do it, you’ll think it’s good just because you don’t do it. But are all believers who worship the Great Death like that? I heard there are about ten people in total, but honestly, the first person is so shocking… … . “I think it would be a bit of a headache if there were nine more similar ones.”
Basically, I tend to talk a lot, and I tend to talk to myself a lot.
I have never spoken to myself for such a long time in a long time. If there’s someone listening, isn’t it just talking to yourself?
anyway.
As I reflected on the random thoughts that came to my mind, what I was like, and my current situation, I started laughing like a crazy person.

“You won’t answer this either. It doesn’t matter. “I’m just going to interpret and think about it the way I like.”
[I know your temper better than anyone else.]
The ambassador’s voice was heard.
[I knew that even if I had to come forward and make a recommendation, they would not accept it obediently.]
“Then why did you have to say that?”
[well… … . Wasn’t that really my greed?]
“greed?”
[Because you will continue to change. And as you move in the direction you think is right, your surroundings will also change. Just like it was for us.]
“… “I don’t remember changing anything around me.”
[You might think so. But we… … .]
we?
The ambassador trailed off for a moment and muttered in a nostalgic voice.
[We didn’t have much interaction before you came.]
“… … .”
[It was just possibilities that Baek No-gwang gathered from different universes. Even though it was the same asceticism, it could not be called the death penalty. Because we knew nothing about each other and had no interest in each other.]
I closed my mouth as I heard this for the first time in my life.
[Then one day you appeared. Baek No-kwang’s last disciple. This is a kid who was rude, clumsy, extremely weak, and arrogant in some ways.]
I had the illusion that the light emitted by Gwihwa, which seemed ominous for a moment, had become warmer.
A warmth that I had never felt since coming to the North was felt from a small flame, no bigger than a candle.
The flames soon illuminated the past.
[The child, who was even unstable in walking, was placed on a dangerous cliff, so naturally my eyes were drawn to it.]
“ah.”
I saw a man with matted hair, a face that looked like he was suffering from evil, and a very shabby appearance, as if he had taken a bath in muddy water.
grow.
This was me not long after coming to Yeongsan.
While going down to the bottom of the peak to get some food, I lost my footing and almost fell. I barely escaped from a monster I had never seen in my life. Then, I ended up chewing and eating some unknown grass that I found, but it turned out to be a poisonous plant… … .
Then, after finally coming to his senses, I don’t know why, but I tried fishing at a spring that was rising halfway up the mountain, and after investing three days, I managed to catch a minnow and cried with joy.
I miss it, but I don’t really want to go back.
And I also saw things that I had not seen at that time.
It was the sight of the death penalty looking down at such pathetic Ruan Badniker from the top of different mountains.
[We cannot stand by and watch people die, so our intervention was inevitable. We each help you in our own way.]
Seeing me almost falling, Sister Cheon stirred the iron wire, and a gust of wind blew, pushing me into the cliff… … .
The man with great strength who was chasing me as if he was going to kill me was pierced to death by an energy sphere fired by Arang’s brother-in-law.
The image of the ambassador carrying me to a safe place after I collapsed due to poisonous plants and feeding me with decocted herbs as I was unconscious.
In fact, the third execution was seen releasing fish into spring water where there were no fish.
“… … .”
It was a truth I had never dreamed of.
I thought I survived on my own, but that wasn’t the case.
Actually, if you think about it, it’s natural.
Even now that I think about the place called Yeongsan, it is a magical place that will never exist again in the world, surrounded by the unknown and dangerous… … .
In such a place, Luan Badniker, who was just a C-rank mercenary, survived for several months.
[We observed you from afar or helped you secretly, but then we ran into each other. Of course I thought it would be awkward, but it wasn’t. We didn’t have anything in common, but by then we had already developed a common topic.]
“… … .”
[The childish youngest child spoke. We also talked about your aptitude. We discussed how to make them stronger. Then, at some point, I finally appeared in front of you… You were happy to see us and were happy.]
Of course, I can’t help but be happy.
At that time, I thought I was the only person living in Yeongsan other than Master.
Compared to the incredibly strong men who tried to kill me, I was not at all wary of the blind man holding the iron wire, the strange man wearing clothes made of a material I had never seen before, the golem with a body made of steel, and the young man with a vague expression.
I was just happy.
The fact that I have someone to talk to.
[You brought us together, even though we didn’t know each other. Speaking of the death penalty.]
Only then did the four executioners look at each other.
He looked somewhat embarrassed.
For the first time, those who had been aware of each other’s existence for a long time and had only been aware of it began to accept each other’s existence.
[That was the first time we had the death penalty.]
Hwareuk-.
The flames flickered dangerously.
I felt like that movement was exactly like the Ambassador’s faint smile.
“… … .”
At this moment, I felt as if I had encountered the truth about the great punishment for the first time since my regression.
Whatever purpose this person has, whatever his true intentions… … . It is true that there is no lie in thinking about the death penalty.
‘but… … .’
I felt uneasy.
This was because there was one thing missing from the Ambassador’s words.
[You will become stronger in the future, right?]
“… yes. “It will happen.”
[okay. However, I hope you stop becoming stronger.]
These words made me stop.
“What is that… … .”
[sorry.]
“yes?”
The moment I heard the ambassador’s sudden apology, I couldn’t help but ask myself.
At the same time, I also realized that I would no longer be able to continue the conversation.
The darkness that had covered all directions was disappearing like a curtain was lifted.
“… … .”
I was alone again in the shabby room.
I couldn’t hold back the sigh that came out of my mouth and let it out.
“Did you hear the conversation just now?”
I asked the executioners just in case, but there was no answer.
“Sister Cheon? “Arang and the death penalty?”
Even if I called again, there was no response.
what. Could it be that this communication ended like this?
Because of the sudden intrusion of the ambassador?
“Ah-oh… … .”
I was tearing out my hair and fell down on the bed.
Why am I so exhausted when I haven’t done anything?
For a moment, I forgot about the situation I was in and became violently reluctant to do anything.
I was twisting my body on the bed and groaning alone… … .
Clink-!
Before I had time to reflect, the window suddenly broke and something flew out.
Unfortunately, I quickly caught the unidentified object flying towards my face.
Crumpy texture.
“… “A rock?”
As I was rolling the rough stone with my hand with a dazed look on my face, I sensed a large number of hostile figures coming from outside.
‘No way already?’
Assuming an attack by church members, I quickly climbed to the window and looked outside… The scene unfolding beyond was somewhat unexpected.
“… “What is that again?”
