MEMORIZE Chapter 863

00863 D-Day, Five. ————————————————– ———————-=

Almost two months have passed since Erwin left for the fairy forest and Thanatos woke up. The Knights of the Round Table, whether individually or as a group, met several times and carefully confirmed Thanatos’ position. Then, each person organized their thoughts in their own way.

But the plan did not go as smoothly as one had hoped. The only advantage of the current demon camp is that it is directly on the hole plane. They have much more opportunities to make contact than angels who stay in the other dimension called the Summoning Room and call humans whenever necessary. But ‘humans are not puppets.’ The fact that the right to action was handed over acted as an obstacle.

In a way, it was natural. Thanatos expressed the angel’s purpose as realistically as possible, and the humans accepted it as somewhat plausible.

But that was all. ‘So what?’ There was no reaction, but the situation was sluggish. Although the instigation was successful, it was said that something was lacking to lead to action. Although they were angry at being used as an angel’s chess horse, the fact that they had a friendly relationship with each other since then had an impact, except for that part.

In a word, the southern continent is not the western continent. Although they are full of pride in being the best, they prefer peace under order rather than plunder and slaughter, and act rationally rather than belligerently. In other words, the number of humans who have adapted and settled in this world is greater than the devil thinks.

This wasn’t the only thing. It cannot be denied that the Knights of the Round Table, including Melinus and Eldora, are respected groups. But one thing is certain: they are not the entire southern continent.

In fact, it was the same problem with similar causes. In order to erase the perception that angels are pure helpers and to sprout the seeds of distrust that had been sown, it was necessary to reveal the angel’s purpose more broadly and more clearly.

However, we cannot just let Eldora in and blindly tell her to reveal the truth. This was the worst handshake the devil could have chosen at the moment. There was only one chance, so he had to take advantage of it when he could maximize it.

Anyway, the biggest problem was lack of time. As the remaining precious time passed by meaninglessly day by day, Satan finally made a choice after much deliberation. If a bad outcome was expected no matter which option he chose, he chose to risk the chaos that would arise in the human world rather than blowing the opportunity by being caught by an angel.

So D-Day and the third plan were brought forward,

bang!

“What do you mean!”

So a meeting was held.

Natalie got up from her seat and looked around with a bewildered expression.

A total of eighteen users gathered at the Blue Palace today. Fourteen of them were the Knights of the Round Table and Melinus, and the rest were heads of lord clans that led the four outer cities. Elfin Clan in the East City, Pax Clan in the West City, Carpe Diem Clan in the South City, and Nox Clan in the North City. In fact, all users representing the southern continent have gathered in one place.

“Conquer the Eastern Continent? “Did I hear something wrong?”

“Whoa, calm down. Knight of Search. “I was surprised enough.”

At that time, a slightly thin man with a somewhat arrogant expression and an arrogant feel waved his hand. This user was none other than Carpe Diem Lord, the owner of the awakening secret class ‘Saint of Pandemonium’ and who dreams of realizing Sodom and Gomorrah.

“At first I wondered what he was talking about… . I never thought there would be talk about taking over the eastern continent. And the Odin Clan, which always takes the lead in implementing justice.”

He burst into laughter as if to lighten the mood,

“Anyway, I thought the story had been sorted out internally to some extent before you told us?”

He swept his forehead with both hands and glanced at Natalie.

“It’s not that I don’t know everything, but since this is an issue, I wanted to hear the first reaction. And anyway, you are also important people to our southern continent.”

Ian raises his glasses and speaks eloquently. Lord Carpe Diem chuckled.

“Well, that’s good. but… .”

Then, he slowly lifted his back against the chair, pressed his body against the tabletop, and flashed his gray eyes sharply.

“You will have to explain it in great detail so that everyone can understand. “Unless you’re making fun of us.”

“haha. Is there any possibility? First of all, I sincerely apologize for causing confusion with my unexpected words.”

Ian spoke quietly and bowed his head politely. Lord Carpe Diem seemed a little relieved to have come this far, and nodded with a chuckle. A few knights frowned at the sight, but did not say anything. Because she already knew that the man in front of her had severe mood swings.

“No, there is no need to apologize. I’m just a little surprised. And let me tell you in advance, I am not fundamentally opposed to war. If you look at human history alone, it is full of wars, but if necessary, we must do it. sure!”

“Yes, yes. of course.”

“Ah, the editorial was long. Then, let’s talk about it. “I will listen.”

“Yes, then.”

Ian cleared his throat for a moment, then pointed to the center of the map on the table.

“First of all, I will talk about what I said earlier, assuming you understood.”

“I certainly understood the purpose of the angels. North, south, east and west. These four continents compete with each other over the center. “I’m not sure yet, but I think it makes sense.”

“Then I will tell you without any hesitation. “If we attack and successfully occupy the eastern continent, we can gain a total of four enormous benefits.”

“Four things?”

Ian held his hand forward with his thumb folded.

“first. You can defeat your competitors in the future competition over the central continent. second. You can gain experience points. Thinking about the future, we will have to fight as a group against fellow humans rather than monsters, and the war against the Eastern Continent will certainly allow us to gain valuable combat experience. third. Whether it’s users or achievements, we can bring you materials from the eastern continent. This… . I don’t need to say more, right? and.”

“wait a minute. “I don’t think that makes sense.”

It was then. Just as Ian was speaking at a rapid pace, his man, who had been sitting still until now, suddenly interrupted. He was an ordinary guy with not much to say about his characteristics, but since he participated in this meeting anyway, he was probably not an ordinary user. This user was Pax Lord, the lord of West City, who on the surface advocated neutrality and peace, but was in fact evaluated as an opportunist.

“I was surprised by the sudden story, but it sounds like you are overly optimistic about the situation. I’m not in a position to pretend to know anything, but war isn’t that easy. Have you ever thought about a situation where you fight with harsh words and end up destroying each other? Even if we win, what damage will we suffer?”

“aha. Sure. Now that you think about it, I didn’t tell you this.”

The tone was almost like an attack, but Ian opened his mouth as if he had been waiting.

“Does Lord Pax know the current situation on the eastern continent?”

“… “I don’t know the details.”

When I spoke in a rather confident manner, Pax Lord spoke with a dejected tone.

“The reason I am optimistic about victory is simple. Currently, the development status of the eastern continent is the lowest among the four continents. It is safe to say that it is completely the worst. Would you believe that we have barely taken over a large city, let alone a new continent? But can they really deal with us?”

“No, I mean, is there any need to attack the eastern continent, which is living well on its own? So then, wouldn’t it be better to start a war against the Western Continent? “Isn’t there a justification for helping those who have been driven out, and something to say to the angels?”

“That’s a strange thing to say. The Western Continent is already an abandoned place, so why take it over? “We are not philanthropists.”

“what?”

Pax Lord’s eyebrows twitched.

“If you focus on the benefits, you are seriously mistaken about Pax Road.”

However, Ian spoke calmly without any wavering.

“It’s just that there are no more prospective users coming in, but the West Continent is strong. From what I heard, it seems like there are still close to 10,000 people left, and each one of them is said to be a veteran. They are the elite who survived in a place where slaughter and plunder were the norm. So, I don’t think it can be compared to the eastern continent.”

“so. “He will use the weaker Eastern Continent as his prey.”

“Is there any reason not to?”

“good. “I heard what you said.”

Grumble! Paxrod snorted loudly and immediately pulled up a chair and stood up.

“If you really think so, I have nothing to say, but I cannot agree. In fact, I have doubts about whether the people in front of me are really Odin.”

“Pax Road.”

“no. Let’s stop. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear today’s story. And I’m sorry if it seems like I’m pouring cold water on you, but I’ll just leave.”

“… … .”

Eventually, he glanced at Eldora, who was quietly closing her eyes, and left the conference room at a brisk pace. There was a moment of awkward silence for her. In this quiet silence, Ian quietly opened his mouth.

“I will finish the story I brought up. Fourth, we will have the authority to attack another new continent.”

“huh? “What do you mean by that?”

Carpe Diem Lord, who was resting his chin and savoring his appetite, asked a question.

“What are you talking about? Just as we conquered the Orc castle and discovered Ragnarok, wouldn’t the same be true for the Eastern Continent? We are only just beginning to develop large cities, and a new continent is something we cannot even dream of right now.”

“Wait. So what if we attack that?”

“That’s right. To be precise, if we could just pass through an area called the Barren Wasteland, we would… .”

“Hoo.”

I was filled with admiration as I remembered the reward I received when I discovered Ragnarok. Since all users are sensitive to their abilities, it was natural that it would appeal to them.

“no. “I am against it.”

However, as if not everyone thought so, a sharp voice pierced Ian. Natalie had been standing there staring at Ian the whole time. Ian let out a deep sigh as if he was sad.

“I’d like to hear why.”

“There is no need to give a reason. “Because I have the same opinion as Pax Road earlier.”

“Why? The Western Continent and the Northern Continent also went to war. “Is there anything we can’t do?”

“Oh, so you’re going to do the same thing?

“Are you being sarcastic? As I said before, the goal of this war is to defeat future competitors. “Everything else comes along.”

“stop. “I don’t want to hear it.”

“Natalie. I didn’t say this just because of the 18 people sitting here. “I said this by looking far ahead and thinking about the entire southern continent.”

“Please, stop talking nonsense!”

At that time, Natalie raised her voice as if she was yelling, as if she didn’t want to hear it anymore.

“I’m talking about morality!”

“… Tao… . yo. this?”

Ian looked like he had been punched.

“Yes, morality! Did the East Continent do something bad to us? Nope. So are we animals? Eat me because I’m weak? “Why on earth are you suddenly saying something like this?”

He stared blankly at the ensuing shout for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter.

“True, moral… . Haha, hahahaha!”

Natalie flinched from the crazy laughter. Ami frowned mercilessly, and a look of disbelief clearly appeared in her eyes.

“you… . “Is this Ian?”

Ian stopped laughing at those words. Then he lifted her glasses, wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, and shook her head.

“Oh, I’m sorry if you felt bad. But it’s so funny.”

“You think it’s funny?”

“morality. That’s a good thing. great. “Then I have something I want to ask you.”

“… What.”

“For someone who cares so much about morality, why didn’t you oppose it during the attack on the Orc Castle? In fact, before we invaded, we didn’t really encounter each other.”

“Are you kidding me? “Are orcs and humans the same?”

The moment Natalie said something as if it were absurd, Ian’s eyes sparkled.

“What’s different?”

“What, what?”

“yes. Of course, the races are different. But other than that, everything is the same. The orcs I encountered definitely formed a single society. There was a chief called the Orc Lord, and there was also a tribal chief called the Shaman. Then there must have been a father, a mother, and a cub, right? … However, we are the ones who ruthlessly trampled it without leaving a single seed behind. “If humans hadn’t moved north, we would still be living well on our own.”

“you!”

“Or, it’s okay because he’s a monster and not a human. Is this it? Come to think of it, back then, you and Akirov were making a bet to see who could kill more, right?”

“… … .”

Natalie’s face turned red. Her mouth was open, but she seemed momentarily speechless.

“If you really think so, I will say this.”

Ian, who had said that, leisurely adjusted the glasses he had taken off.

“In this world, we are not human. … No, at least before he was a person.”

And looking at the other person carefully,

“We are users.”

He concluded his speech quietly.

There was silence. Natalie stared blankly at Ian with a shocked face for a while.

And after a while.

“that… .”

A lonely light flashed across my bewildered face.

“… “It’s sophistry.”

With just that one word, Natalie turned around. And before anyone could say anything, he disappeared from the conference room like the wind.
