◈ Episode 497 Last Place (1)
“… … Why did you kill him?”
“There’s nothing good about leaving the warlock alive.”
“You have already lost your will to fight, and you have suppressed enough. Still killing… … .”
Casey stared at Ludger with trembling eyes.
“It’s just a pointless murder.”
Rudger brushed off the blood on the sword stick.
Casey narrowed her eyes at the red marks strewn across the floor.
“okay. It wouldn’t hurt to capture him alive and put him in prison. My ankle has already been blown off, and I have lost my will to fight.”
“But why… … .”
“Because this is my way.”
Casey asked incomprehensibly.
“Murder?”
“Anyway, the Fel Magic School he belonged to was destroyed. It would be useless to capture him and put him in prison. In that case, it would be better to get rid of it.”
Ludger looked down at Delmart, who had become a cold corpse, with a cold gaze.
“How many people have lost their lives at the hands of this guy? Warlocks basically have a lot of disrespect for life, so many people probably died at his hands.”
“So you killed him? for that sin? Who the hell has the right to ask for that sin?”
“I told you. this is my way It’s not about talking about qualifications.”
“It was already over at the point of capture. But I have no idea why you are doing this.”
Rudger’s killing of Delmart was obviously bad, but Casey’s pity was on the other side.
“Why are you getting your hands dirty?”
It wouldn’t matter if I captured Delmart and sent it to another place.
Rudger’s role ended when he was incapacitated.
Even so, Rudger dared to use his hand.
Even if there is nothing to come back to you by doing that.
“It sounds like you are worried about me. Aren’t you angry at what I did?”
“… … Surely it would have been in the past. However, I knew that the world would not be as ideal and cool as it is.”
“is it.”
Rudgar inserted the sword stick into the scabbard.
“You seem to think I did this out of good will.”
“Otherwise, why are you doing this?”
“well. It would be a lie to say that this act had no good intentions.”
Rudger stared at Casey.
There was a hint of self-deprecation in those blue eyes.
“Even so, I know that this method is wrong.”
“If you know, you can change it.”
“Are you pitying me?”
Casey didn’t have to deny it.
“You have changed. Casey Selmore.”
“Everyone changes.”
“But since you are like that, you shouldn’t forgive me even more.”
“… … What are you talking about.”
“No matter how good your intentions are, if it’s evil, you shouldn’t stand by.”
“that… … .”
Casey tried to say something, but closed his lips.
“Don’t forget Casey Selmore. No matter how misunderstood there may be, no matter how circumstantial it may have been… … After all, I am a villain with blood on my hands. It doesn’t matter if your intentions are good or not. Everything proves the results.”
Casey sighed.
The scene of the day flashed on her retinas.
The back of a man who had no choice but to be miserable at the death of a boy.
In the end, the steps of a helpless person who has no choice but to choose the wrong path.
like that.
A crime scene was created in the world.
“Even if that’s the image the world gave you?”
“That’s funny.”
Rudger snorted as if that was absurd.
“This is not what the world gave me. It’s what I chose.”
“… … .”
“I made up my mind as a wicked person, and this is the path I chose with my own will.”
The evaluation of whether someone is a good person or a bad person at will was meaningless to Rudger.
They consider themselves evil and continue their evil deeds.
Rudger walked that path because he had decided that way.
“Why are you pushing yourself like that? There is no reason for that.”
Casey thought.
Rudger is a very capable, brilliant person.
And even now, as Seorn’s teacher, he is doing a great job.
It didn’t matter what he had been through in the past.
It was enough just to continue the new life given now.
Everyone looks up to you, envy you, praise you.

I would be able to walk only on such a peaceful road.
Even so.
Rudger kicked it off and was willing to go bloody.
It is an action that does not make sense.
“why?”
“Good people do good with good intentions. Nothing could be better than that.”
Rudger stared into space.
“But sometimes, against your will, things go wrong. Actions done with good intentions have the worst consequences.”
This is a common case in real life.
The intentions were good, but the results of the execution were terrible.
“What would a person do in such a situation? Will he fully accept his fault, or will he make excuses saying it was not meant to be.”
“that… … .”
“It is good when good deeds lead to good results. But good deeds sometimes lead to the worst outcomes. When things like that happen, people turn away from the consequences they have created and try to escape from reality.”
I didn’t mean to.
I did everything for you.
There must have been no lies in those words.
“Compromise with sin, forgive yourself, and do the same again. Don’t ruin people like that. After that, you will become a monster.”
People who believe in themselves to be good and don’t hesitate to do anything.
People who are convinced that even if the result is always the worst, it is okay because they have done it with good intentions.
Rudger saw them as more evil than evil.
“So at least I don’t turn a blind eye to the guilt of what I’ve done.”
Even if the target is evil.
Even if the situation is a battlefield.
Even if the intention is for someone.
Killing people doesn’t change.
Good and evil do not exist.
Evil deeds are evil in the end, and that fact remains like a stigma without being erased.
Like the mark on his back since he was born.
“Casey Selmore. Can you handle the situation?”
“… … don’t know Still, I will try to do it.”
“That’s your answer. That would be the crucial difference between me and me.”
Casey Selmore, as seen by Rudgar, is a good man.
The intention is as white as it is pure, and even the process is straight.
That’s why I was taken advantage of by someone.
Casey Selmore did not give up.
“It should not be overlooked. We are in the same place, but we live in different worlds.”
A person who lives in a world different from his own.
Although sometimes there is longing and envy for the other world.
As long as he had already decided to walk this path, Rudger had no intention of leaving his place.
In a world of violence made up of barbed wire fences.
“you… … .”
Casey licked his lips.
Even if we stand face to face, talk, fight together.
There was something like an invisible wall between him and this man.
What made her even more miserable was that he understood herself, but she did not understand him.
Then and now, Ludgar made her feel defeated.
Still, I won’t remain lethargic like that day.
It was the moment when Casey was about to say something after making such a promise.
Kwajijik!
A huge mountain of ice rose in the distance.
There was quite a distance, and it was an overwhelming size that could be seen at a glance even in the dark of the night.
The ghastly sound of everything around it freezing was louder than the explosion of the bomb.
Parss.
The towering iceberg disappeared again as if it had suddenly risen. like a mirage.
However, looking at the cold air around him, it wasn’t like that at all.
The cold air was still there, taking heat from the surroundings.
If an ordinary person approaches it, it will become an ice statue in less than three seconds.
Even a strong knight will freeze his lungs in less than a minute if he goes there.
That’s why I pushed people back.
At the same time that Ludger had such an impression, he did not feel the wave of magic after that powerful blow.
“Is it over?”
Rudger muttered that and slowly moved his steps.
Casey, who missed the timing to speak, could not bear to follow Rudger.

The operation to wipe out the warlocks in the middle of the night ended in success.
Of course, the fighting was so wild that concealment of information was virtually impossible.
Reporters from all over the place tried to enter the scene, and intelligence agents and police came forward to block it.
However, no matter how much the guard line was set up and reporters were blocked, the traces of the fight in the warehouse could not be completely covered.
it will be
It is not enough that the C sector, where the backwaters were located, was frozen as if frost had settled down.
The cold was so strong that even the nearby coastal waters froze.
No matter how hard they tried to block it from being seen on land, the aftermath was clearly visible from the sea.
“I am What happened all night?”
“When I heard from Jacob next door, what kind of green light exploded and there was an uproar?”
“I heard that the warlocks came in and carried out a sweeping operation in the country.”
“okay? then what can you do Fishing near the pier is prohibited anyway, so we have nothing to lose.”
Even as the fishermen on the boat chatted with each other, their eyes could not help but turn to the place where the warehouse was located.
The sight of a corner of the sea frozen white was a rare and rare sight even for them.

“sister. He did a very good job.”
Marias Selmore’s office.
Casey crumpled the newspaper on the desk in Marias’s office.
The front page of the newspaper featured the incident at the warehouse last night.
“Well, where did the person who said we had to deal with it quietly go?”
“What are you talking about like that? It ended quietly enough.”
“Do you even freeze the nearby sea?”
“It’s not a place where ships come and go near it anyway, so there’s no problem with fishing boats, merchant ships, and cargo ships coming and going.”
“You have eyes that see, eyes.”
“You know the situation, too. Leaving the monster alone would have done more damage. It was cheap enough.”
“ha. That’s right, though.”
Casey knows that better than anyone.
It is to subjugate one school of black magicians.
Even during the process, a high-ranking black magician ran out of control and turned into a corrupted magic beast.
If something goes wrong, there is nothing strange about the loss of not only the warehouse but also the entire port.
The aftermath caused by Marias was shocking, but considering the damage it would have done, it was minimal.
“Of course, it was nice to be able to relieve some stress for the first time in a while.”
“Is that what you mean? uh?”
“What do you keep doing? I can’t roam around freely like you. And don’t say too much. Because this job has helped you too.”
“To me?”
“Thanks to your fiancé and your help, our intelligence agents were safe. So, as an older sister and as a public servant belonging to the Ministry of Magic, we should give her that kind of compensation.”
At the word reward, Casey’s ears perked up.
Marias said, narrowing her eyes.
“This older sister is congratulating your fiancé and you from the bottom of your heart!”
“… … are you kidding What a reward! Give me the money instead!”
“He is really. While I couldn’t see you, I became a snobbish personality. And if you ask for money, do you think I can’t give it to you?”
“that… … .”
Casey tried to say something, but fell silent and pondered.
“for a moment. Give me time to choose.”
“Sure.”
Marias observed her sister with a smile on her face.
He’s really cute in that respect.
Even though he had grown a lot, he still felt that his younger brother was still lacking.
“But it’s good to be worried, but I also have another appointment. Can you leave my room for now?”
“promise? what promise?”
“There are many promises. I have to deal with the high-ranking people of the country who are trying to ask me what the situation is right now.”
Marias shook her head in embarrassment.
“Really, low-ranking civil servants are too hard.”
“… … What about low-level officials? What would someone higher than the director say?”
“That is a misunderstanding.”
Casey snorted.
what is the misunderstanding
Let alone a low-level civil servant, someone who could replace the director.
How can you be so shameless?
“Anyway, I’ll come up with a reward separately, so unnie is just waiting.”
“I’ll look forward to it.”
Casey turned and left Marias’ office.
However, her steps had to stop soon, just in time to run into Rudger who was about to come inside.
“… … what?”
“what.”
“Why are you here?”
“I’m here to get a reward.”
“compensation? ah… … .”
The promise your sister said was Rudger.
Casey pursed his lips a few times as he tried to say something.
The conversation she had with Ludger the night before still lingered in her mind.
Rudger drew a clear line for her.
Even if they work together and have friendly conversations, they end up living in completely different worlds.
Casey couldn’t give Rudger an answer to last night’s reply.
Instead, I sneaked closer to him.
Casey fastened a button on Rudger’s coat with her slender hands.
“Put on some modest clothes. I’m going to see my sister, but I’m going to make fun of her.”
Rudger looked down at Casey.
Perhaps because she didn’t want to meet his gaze, only the top of her head was visible.
No matter what kind of perfume she sprayed on, she always smelled like clear water.
Casey, who arranged the buttons, quickly left the seat.
“… … .”
Rudger took his eyes off Casey’s receding back and headed for Marias’s office.
“This is Rudgar Chelsea.”
“Are you here? My brother just passed by.”
“We met while we were coming.”
“okay.”
Marias opened a small box on the desk in her office, took a piece of candy from it, and popped it into her mouth.
“Oh, can I eat? Or can I get you one? It is quite delicious.”
“it’s okay.”
“Try one.”
Marias coerced Rudger into accepting a piece of candy.
The moment he put it in his mouth, Rudger nearly vomited the candy at the sweetness that stimulated his entire mouth.
‘What, this crazy.’
Something beyond a lump of sugar made Rudger tremble.
People with hypoglycemia also get diabetes immediately after eating this.
Rudger, who forcefully chewed and swallowed the candy, immediately got to the point.
“I want to be compensated for this work.”
“Yes. It’s a promise, so I have no choice but to tell you.”
Rudger prepared to listen to Marias’ words.
Marias stared at Rudger through narrowed eyes.
“I recently checked the scenery and clues you asked me about a few more times. And I came to one conclusion.”
“What is it?”
“The place you are looking for. It is in my dreams.”
