§ 140. Crown of the Holy Emperor (2)
“The jewel on the necklace is like a milestone to the Oracle.”
“A milestone?”
“okay. It is broken and shattered, reminding us that this is not his foresight, but reality.”
Seonghwang did not deny that he was an oracle. In addition, he even added quite detailed explanations to Seongjin.
This is something you don’t normally see.
“The fact that it is broken but still retains its shape means that it has not yet used up. “It’s probably not a coincidence that it ended up in your hands.”
“that… … .”
Seongjin asked after a little pause.
“Is it because I am the next Oracle?”
“… … .”
Oracle’s milestone probably only has its meaning when it is in Oracle’s hands.
Seonghwang looked at Seongjin’s face for a moment and then nodded.
“… okay. He must have heard that too. That’s right.”
I thought he could explain it quite clearly for a guy like him.
This is probably because Seongjin had already heard quite a bit of information from Sigurd Sigurdsson.
By the way, that damn Mores is really the Oracle?
No, how on earth can a man who is known as a prophet be able to live a life without a tomorrow like that?
“As you said, the Dimensional Storyteller said that I am the next Oracle. but… … .”
And Seongjin hesitated for a moment before continuing.
“But as you know, father, I am not the same person I was before the fever. “I have no such thing as foresight.”
[I] am not your real son. So it’s probably not Oracle.
But since you know it best, why are you entrusting me with this jewel?
“Do you know what? Mores.”
Seonghwang stared at Seongjin with slightly deepened eyes.
“The Kornsim clan has eyes to see the truth. So many of them used to predict the future. Or, even if they don’t have clear precognitive abilities, they have some sort of premonition that predicts the future.”
“… … .”
“In fact, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the entire clan has the qualities of a prophet.”
The entire clan is a prophet? So why is Oracle so special to them?
How is it that Mores, who has no clear precognitive abilities, can beat them and become the next Oracle?
“Because the most important quality for an oracle is not foresight.”
Seongjin blinked at those unexpected words.
“Yeji… “No?”
“okay. An oracle is not someone who sees the future, but someone who lives the future. “The path he thinks about and follows becomes the future he chooses.”
At first glance, it seems like I can understand it, but I don’t.
So, shouldn’t we be able to predict the future so that we can make the right choices and live accordingly?
Seonghwang then clasped his hands together, seemed to gather his thoughts for a moment, and then asked:
“okay. Let’s take an example. You probably met him a while ago, right? “Rebekah, the leader of Arrange.”
If you mean the time when I was possessed by Director Bruno.
“Yes that’s right.”
“okay. He is a person with quite strong foresight. “Except for the fact that he sometimes does useless things, he can be said to have quite useful abilities.”
Oh, my.
Rebekah was afraid of being caught by the king, so she was very careful, but this guy knew everything anyway.
“So what was it like? Did you think his words were helpful to you?”
“hmm… … .”
If you’re asking if it was helpful, well, no. Wouldn’t that be the case too?
He informed him that two of the missing people Seongjin was looking for were being held at the top of Milo. He also advised him to meet the saint before confronting Ricardo.
‘what? But wait a minute.’
What was the information he gave you? I told Dasha to keep an eye on them, but it wasn’t information I thought was worth digging into right now.
What about the advice he gave? It got annoying for some reason, so he just ignored it, but then the saint came to visit him unscheduled!
“… Now that you think about it, it really was useless, wasn’t it?”
As Seongjin blinks in bewilderment, Seonghwang asks again.
“Do you need anything other than your own will to live your life?”
“… … .”
“Does it really matter whether you are an oracle or not?”
In response to that question, what Seonghwang had said to him not long ago flashed through his mind.
-Do whatever you want to do. If you wish to correct the absurdity, it will be done.
Just do what you want.
What is important is not seeing the future, but the will to live in the future.
Then another question arose for Seongjin.
“Then why on earth does the leader of Arenja do such a useless thing… … .”
Seongjin trailed off and frowned.
He is a person who claims to be an agent of Oracle. Perhaps he didn’t know that either.
Nevertheless, isn’t it strange that he went so far as to possess Director Bruno and contact Seongjin?
Then, a faint silver glow flashes through Seonghwang’s eyes as he focuses his gaze on Seongjin.
“First of all, there is one thing to point out. “Why didn’t you conduct the above investigation based on the information he provided?”
“yes? That’s it… … .”
Do you get the feeling that if you push yourself to find missing people that don’t really matter, the really important things will sink completely below the surface?

“okay. “I guess so.”
Seonghwang nodded and continued speaking.
“Let’s think about one more thing. Suppose you obediently took his advice and wanted to meet her saint. “What method do you think you used?”
“hmm. First of all, wouldn’t you have sent a letter asking us to make an appointment to meet?”
“I guess so. But if you had done that, do you think that the wary saint who still rejects all invitation letters from imperial officials would have willingly tried to meet you?”
“uh… … .”
“Rebekah, did he really not know that? Do you think he really wanted you to meet her saint beforehand and give you that advice?”
I feel like I’ve poured cold water on my head.
Seongjin’s expression hardened, but Seonghwang calmly continued to explain to him.
“Remember this, son. The Kornsheim clan are the most untrustworthy people in this world. “The reason I place them in the imperial palace and use them sparingly is because their talents are useful and dangerous at the same time.”
“… … .”
“Everything the Kornsim clan says to someone is an expression of their will to predict the future and change the outcome. Therefore, everything they say has a clear intention and is completely false.”
The Kornsim clan are all liars.
Seonghwang said so. Because it was so peaceful without any ups and downs, the voice sounded like he was angry.
Suddenly, Seongjin’s eyes landed on the broken pendant lying on the table.
But father. Then what about your grandmother?
Who was your mother, who was from the Kornsim clan?

“I want to go home!”
With a loud cry, the massive body of the Barça warrior was thrown to the sand. Coo!
A moment of silence.
And soon after, a huge roar erupted.
Wow!
“Is that Owen? “Isn’t it pretty for an imperial person?”
“He is definitely a great warrior! But didn’t you say that today is your first time wrestling in the Barça style?”
“What if it’s your first time? He’s a legend so far! And the next opponent is the winner of last year’s wrestling, Ajutarku!”
The young men of the Volanta tribe were talking in excited tones.
Their eyes, completely intoxicated by the heat of the wrestling ring, were focused on a man who stood out in the center of the sandy beach. He is a tall young man who is not inferior even among Barça warriors who are quite large in stature.
Owen of Delcross.
The son of a tribe leader and a strong battlefield warrior, he was a fundamentally different person from the warriors of Delcross, such as Saenim.
Unlike the cowards of the Empire who wrapped their bodies in iron armor as hard as a turtle, the young man always walked across the battlefield wearing light armor.
Unlike the babies of the empire who had short hair like a newborn baby’s, the young man ran on a horse with his long hair flowing like a warrior from Barça.
His bright bronze hair, which was still tied up tightly, was already decorated with several cormorant feathers, indicating his brilliant military achievements.
“Can you believe that this is a record built in just a few days? He’s a great warrior! No matter how strong an enemy he faces, he never backs down!”
As he said, Owen’s firm, unwavering eyes were staring unwaveringly at the grim-looking Barça warrior who had just climbed onto the sand board.
And again, the sound of cheers ringing loudly.
“I want to go home!”
With a powerful throw, the winner of last year’s Ssireum is violently thrown to the floor.
Quaaaang!
Wow!
The cheers pouring out towards him violently shook the cool air of the beach.

[Grade of Completion: B]
[Reward: 4000(+20)P Cash]
[*This product is available in the Pangea Chronicle store window.]
I was wondering if they gave a rare bonus, but what is 20 cash?
Owen thought so, poking his mouth out, but he didn’t dare say it out loud. That damn system is so flawed that it has a history of reducing rewards by up to 50%.
[Main Stream 2 – (Progress 19%)]
Still, thanks to this quest, the overall progress rate has increased considerably.
As he sighed and wiped off his sweat, his close friend, Chikudanka, came towards him.
“You had a great day today, Owen.”
“Well, this is all thanks to you who taught me how to wrestle properly in advance.”
Owen answered with a grin.
When he turned towards Chikudanka, the only bright red jewel hanging on his neck, which was bare-chested as he was wrestling, sparkled and shined.
Chikudanka sees this and his eyes light up.
“Is that stone like a talisman that protects you? “You’re always betting.”
“Oh, this?”
Owen held up the necklace and grinned.
“It’s pretty cool, isn’t it? “I heard that my godfather gave it to me as a gift the day I was born.”
“The tribal leader of Delcross? If so, then it must be something unusual, right? “No wonder I always have it with me.”
Chikudanka nodded.
“Anyway, I have a question. “What is that spell you always shout?”
“… haha.”
Owen smiled a little awkwardly and scratched his cheek.
“You mean that? It’s a Delcross-style victory spell. “It’s very exciting.”
okay. At least for Owen, it is an invincible spirit.
I couldn’t help but miss Seonghwang and his brothers and sisters, and now I was even starting to miss that bastard Mores’ face.
“Anyway, all the warriors are already gathered. “Today we slaughtered the chief’s ewe, so you too should get some rest and then join the feast.”
Chikudanka taps him on the shoulder and turns around.
Owen lightly waved his hand and looked at the small window that kept floating in his right field of vision with a slightly depressed expression.
[Main Stream 1 – Protect the Southern Front! (complete)]
[Main Stream 2 – Let’s form an alliance with the Volanta tribe! (Progress rate 19%)]
okay. To be honest, regardless of the completion of the quest, Owen really wanted to return to Delcross.
But this is precisely where the viciousness of the system bastard lies. Owen secretly revealed a subsequent quest that could never be ignored.
[Main Stream 3 – Save Castle□!]
[Main Stream 4 – Save Castle□!]
[Main Stream 5 – Let’s defeat □□□ □□!]
Unless Owen was an idiot, there was no way he wouldn’t have known. What that blank space clearly indicates is a saint or a saint.
And the quest to save one person probably won’t happen twice.
In other words, the longer Owen smokes, the more danger there may be for both the emperor and the saint. But how could he return to Delcross in peace?
“Holy shit! I miss Sisley! I miss my kids! “I miss my father!”
Under the starry sky on the beach that seemed to be pouring down, the cry of a young man who was sad that he could not go back rang out for a long time.
