“Nice to meet you.”
A soft voice rings through the hall.
“Blood by blood.”
Everyone’s mouths were shut tightly at that one word.
I don’t feel like there’s any proof or any air of force being exuded by the drones.
But I never had the slightest doubt that what he said was a lie.
“… … .”
Some were simply silent.
I don’t know what to say.
Rarely is such a person born.
In some ways, these people can be called geniuses.
‘One born with dignity.’
If that appearance is not due to the half-turn movement of the Silver Warriors, then perhaps the author is born with that dignity.
A person who requires courage just to look at his face and whose voice makes you bow your head involuntarily.
In the past, when such people were born, the world was shaken.
You can either become the unrivaled emperor or a swordsman who takes up arms to claim the throne.
The same holds true in modern times.
Such people always rise to a certain position and command numerous people.
But in modern times, when kingdoms have disappeared, it is impossible for a king to be born.
‘But now…’
The world has turned upside down again.
Invasion of the world.
What if the world was one where the original inhabitants were despised and deprived of their rights and entitlements?
No, what if the world was founded on a type of power called brute force?
Gulp.
A king can be born.
‘Maybe already born.’
I couldn’t believe it, but that young man sitting at the head table looks like that.
“Yes. Everyone showed their loyalty to the Blood Cult, right?”
Only after Iroun’s words did the people’s expressions lighten a little.
It seemed that Lee Ro-woon had come to congratulate them on their hard work.
“That’s dog-like behavior. Do you call it loyalty when you’re addicted to poison and brainwashed and have no choice?”
“Ugh, big.”
Kang Eun-ha coughed in vain at Lee Ro-woon’s words.
“That’s slavery.”
“… … .”
The voice was so honest and candid that some people almost nodded in agreement.
“I don’t need slaves.”
At Iroun’s words, the unmanned people moved.
Knock, knock, knock.
Things that are placed on the table.
“What is this…?”
“It’s a cancellation.”
“… … !”
Lee Ro-un continued speaking.
“I know that your loyalty is due to your blood. This is the elixir that kills that blood.”
Again people fell silent.
‘Is this a test?’
Or are you going to kill them because you no longer need them?
A lot of questions were swirling around in my head.
“What I want is.”
The corners of the Blood Horse’s mouth went up playfully.
“It’s business.”
“… … !”
Lee Ro-un looked at the people in the room.
They are literally no different from slaves.
Loyalty?
That is the value that only the silver-clad warriors possess.
Those who are loyal to their own world, feel affection, and even throw away their lives like a blade of grass for a sense of belonging.
However, the inhabitants of the modern world, or rather the Earth, are different.
“If you wish, you don’t have to be associated with the religion anymore. Of course, you will have to erase your memories of the religion or be banned from it….”
Shh.
“Isn’t it better than dying?”
The values held by the inhabitants of the Earth.
Giving it to them is the best way to deal with them.

“Rain, what do you mean business…?”

“It’s literally true.”
Business, not loyalty.
“Your investment should be a real investment, not a bribe.”
And that would truly be a work for the Blood Cult.
‘Loyalty due to poison, low usability.’
Blood poison is a spleen poison that has been passed down through the Blood Sect. It is a deadly poison that will disappear if you do not continuously take deteriorating medicine within the promised period of time.
Loyalty to one’s family, or to oneself, that is forced upon oneself by poison.
In the past, Eun suffered a lot because she could not detoxify this blood clot.
‘But times have changed.’
The bloodline has not yet been revealed, but is it completely impossible to decipher?
Of course, it might not be easy, but even with Earth’s science and Einhart’s magic, would it be impossible?
That is why the Blood Cult could not indiscriminately proselytize to the people of the world outside of the world.
Likewise, their poison can be detoxified by anyone.
‘That is, they can only be used as bribes or as discarded goods.’
The moment they ate the blood, their fate was decided.
That’s not what Lee Ro-un wanted.
Rather, they become people who will risk their lives to protect Baran and the Blood Cult.
It is just that their value lies in their bloodline.
This would be an easy problem to solve if they learned blood skills, but since they are not residents of Eun, they cannot learn martial arts.
‘It may be different later.’
That’s how it is now.
While Yirun was thinking about this, their heads were spinning as if they would explode at any moment.
“Your Majesty… you are different from what I thought.”
The middle-aged man spoke in a heavy voice.
‘Jong-hyuk Ahn.’
The gate where I met Kang Eun-ha before.
The father of Ahn Min-hong, who was there, was that person.
The father of the guy who almost died by holding the hand of someone he shouldn’t have.
“Did you think it was a horned monster? There’s a monster like that just past the gate.”
“I thought that might be the case.”
Jong-hyuk Ahn said, trying to calm the nerves.
“But there is a problem with the Blood Demon’s words.”
“problem?”
As soon as Lee Ro-woon’s voice fell, the cold gazes of Muin and Kang Eun-ha turned to Ahn Jong-hyeok.
“Close your eyes. I’m talking.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Tell me. It’s a problem.”
Jong-hyuk Ahn spoke with difficulty, holding back his cold heart.
“Does the Blood Horse wish for us to be more active?”
“that’s right.”
“I guess you plan on raising it into a proper guild.”
When there was no answer from Lee Ro-woon, Ahn Jong-hyuk nodded.
“That’s the problem.”
“… … .”
“Since I have a little understanding of the picture the Blood Demon is drawing, once it is established, it will naturally receive a lot of attention. That is….”
“Who is behind Baran?”
Jong-hyuk Ahn nodded.
“I heard from my shallow knowledge that the Blood Cult is a great achievement of the so-called Murim.”
The gaze directed at Jong-hyuk Ahn becomes warm.
The river did not belong to the uninhabited.
‘Why are you doing that?’
People like Jong-hyuk Ahn.
They were afraid that the Blood Demon might become angry and kill everyone there.
“Investing is not simply about making gains. It’s about weighing the pros and cons and weighing the value of the scale.”
Jong-hyuk Ahn spoke without giving in.
“Eun-i, if Hoe finds out, they will all die in the end. Is there a way for the Blood Demon to stop them?”
The burst mouth was unrestrained.
“Can you go beyond the silver sphere of influence, or at least the volcano?”
A cold atmosphere.
An Jong-hyuk’s words are not over yet.
“Silver. Can the Blood Cult deal with you?”
This is better.
Even if you turn your back on the Blood Cult, there will still be those who can survive.
If they completely abandon themselves, they can somehow survive by sticking to the company and one or two of them will be able to survive.
But what if it’s the other way around?
‘If Eun-i finds out, everyone will die.’
Quietly.
Literally quietly.
So it’s better now.
Even if there is financial pressure, it is better to pay the premiums as soon as possible.
“Jong-hyuk Ahn. Right?”
“It is an honor that you know my name.”
“What a nouveau riche.”
“… … !”
Lee Ro-un was smiling.
“So, you’re just touching small change.”
“You can insult me all you want, but I’m only seeking safety.”
“Is there safety in the world?”
“that….”
“Is it appropriate to say that the Republic of Korea is safe?”
The reign of silver.
“No matter what you do, if they decide to do it, the reality is that you’ll die. It’s dangerous.”
The laughter disappeared.
“What’s different?”
“… … .”
“What’s the difference between joining the Blood Cult and dying, or being slaughtered by their own changing minds? Wouldn’t it be better to die with a just cause?”
Lee Ro-un said.
“Your child, he almost died inside the gate, but the priestess saved him. Where in the world is it safe?”
I couldn’t answer.
“Then it would be better for you to be under our protection and spend your life together with us, so it wouldn’t be more unfair.”
A heavy, settled atmosphere.
“If you want to make a lot of money, just think about the gains. If there’s a risk, just think about reducing that risk. Tsk.”
It was such a well-established argument that I couldn’t think of anything to refute it.
“And Eun-ira… .”
A smile spread across the lips that had disappeared.
“It was originally mine. It is my rightful inheritance.”
An Jong-hyuk was so surprised that he looked at Lee Ro-woon’s face.
The eyes of the benefactor.
‘That’s ridiculous… .’
There had to be madness there.
It had to feel like a child’s scream, or the cries of a madman.
“Think about it.”
But those eyes, so calm, seemed to speak an unchanging truth.
After a while.
“We will do it together.”
Jong-hyuk Ahn was the first to give the answer.
* * *
-I won’t take any medicine.
This was what Jong-hyuk Ahn said as he decided to board the ship called Hyulgyo.
I ask everyone to cancel their subscription.
And that’s the condition.
Sigh.
If you’re going to leave the ship, you might as well.
‘You should only think about reducing the risk.’
Jong-hyuk Ahn suggested a way to reduce risk.
To prevent the ship he was on from sinking, he made sure no one got off the ship.
If there were still people who wanted to cancel the contract, Ahn Jong-hyuk would have been the first to step forward and drive them out.
This time, unlike when she was the queen, there was no prior contact.
I expected this trend.
‘My name is Jong-hyuk Ahn.’
If necessary, Iroun intended to discard Baran.
It wasn’t a fruit that looked that delicious, so there was no reason to take the risk and pick it.
But there was some pretty good fruit.
Jong-hyuk Ahn and Yu-ran Choi too.
“What do you think? Do you like it?”
Kang Cheol-woo nodded at Lee Ro-woon’s words.
“I will try my best.”
They too have bodies subdued by bloodshed.
Their new home was decided to be Baran.
I decided that it would be better to join an existing guild rather than create a new one.
“Expectations are high.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Furthermore, those who joined with Kang Cheol-woo were those who operated a fairly large guild in the Incheon and Ganghwa Island areas.
It would be good if it helped Baran grow, but it wouldn’t be a hindrance.
“Anyone can become the leader of Baran’s guild.”
It wasn’t Kang Cheol-woo who didn’t know what that meant.
The preparations are complete.
Baby birds that eat like crazy and grow big just by being given food.
“How did that go?”
At Iroun’s words, a doll appeared from the shadows.
“It will be delivered in a week as you said.”
Black King, Ha Se-min.
He was shaking his head with a look of disgust on his face.
“Even if you increase the board, isn’t it too much?”
“Isn’t the Black King’s dam too small?”
“If it’s black, I can handle it.”
Ha Se-min said.
“The Blood Cult is growing rapidly, but it seems difficult to handle all of this.”
“Do you think so too?”
“Big.”
Ha Se-min didn’t even deny it anymore.
“Don’t just try to get away with it. Don’t you think the Blood Cult can handle it?”
Ha Se-min shook his head and said.
“I can handle it. But what I’m talking about is what happens after that.”
Seoul, where they are, the large building you can see in the distance.
Clear Chinese characters were placed on top of it.
[Volcano]
Looking at it, Iroun said.
“Didn’t you hear?”
A calm and languid voice.
Ha Se-min must have heard it.
“I said the silver is mine.”
At that moment, Ha Se-min spoke while looking at his ringing cell phone.
“It has begun.”
In the East Sea, Haenam and Docheon finally clashed.
