Episode 162
“I’d like to hear other people’s opinions as well.”
The Heretic Questioner spoke to his colleagues.
“Will you surrender to me? Or, will you follow the Death King and confront me? Ahhh. I’m fine with either one.”
“… … “Isn’t this an act of betrayal?”
The Black Dragon Master covered his forehead. Do you have a pounding headache? She glanced at the psychopath she had known for a long time.
“We swore not to be hostile to each other. Once that night. Once when you beat the 28th floor with Death King. I thought that repeating the same vow twice would make it even heavier… .”
“It’s okay this time! Whether I win or you win, the stage will be cleared. Either way we win. “There are just differences of opinion on how to win!”
“ha… … .”
“I will stand behind the Death King.”
Geomseong said.
“I came to the tower because I was tired of a life of chasing quick results. I’ve come this far and I don’t want to go back to the old ways. Lord of all gods. “He politely invited me to surrender, but I will also politely refuse.”
Colleagues moved one by one. Tap, tap. The Heretic Questioner watched the footsteps with a smile.
“aha.”
Five people stood behind me.
“indeed! “I am hopelessly untrustworthy!”
No one stood behind the Heretic Questioner.
Until yesterday, several people sympathized with the Heretic Questioner. The Count said so. However, after looking at the situation each race was in for a day, there was not a single person who sided with the Heretic Questioner.
“You are not trustless.”
The paladin said.
“We all know that you are a great guild leader. And you know you would be [the worst parent]. Children resemble their parents. I can’t believe I left all my children with you… . “It’s safer to leave it to the poisonous snake.”
“yes? “Why are you touching me when I’m still quiet?”
“It’s a compliment. “You will be a better parent than an Inquisitor.”
“Hey hey… That’s a huge compliment. “Tell him that he would be a better leader than Hitler.”
6 to 1.
Even though he was at an overwhelming disadvantage, the Heretic Questioner smiled.
“What do you plan to do from now on? Death King. The city I founded is strong. The slaves have already forgotten the wild nature of the past and have obeyed the rule of the Sanwa tribe!”
The Heretic Questioner seemed confident.
“It seems like you peeked into a secret meeting of a designated tribe. Even there, there were no voices condemning or slandering the Sanwa people! They would simply have performed a ancestral rite. That’s how strong the Sanwa tribe’s rule is!”
‘also.’
You knowingly left the goblin gathering alone.
Just like me, the Inquisitor can walk around invisible. He ruled this place for 200 years and there is no way he could not have noticed the secret meeting.
[Does not matter. It’s not a big threat anyway.]
The Inquisitor must have made that judgment and left the secret meeting unattended.
“I’m sorry, but your race has lost hope. We just mourn and commemorate the past. My 200 years have made that possible. Death King! “Do you have a way to raise those who are on their knees?”
“…….”
I quietly looked around the underworld.
Dawn has already dawned.
A ray of blue light flowed from the ceiling of the underground city. The goblins crawled out of the pit, blinking their thick eyelids. In the old world, the people who went to sleep last were slaves, and the people who woke up early were also slaves.
“I’m not the one raising you up.”
I opened the [Civilization Store].
Items posted in the store were displayed.

I placed my hand on one of the items.
“It’s just a small opportunity for children to stand up.”
Soon, the voice of the tower asked me.
[Purchase ‘Oracle Message’.]
[20 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 995.]
It didn’t stop there.
[Purchase ‘Oracle Message’.]
[20 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 975.]
I poured out almost all the points I had.

I thought about the time I had to endure. 4000 days of regression. When I tried to endure four thousand deaths on my own, it was none other than a voice that helped me.
A voice from the tower said, ‘You are dead.’
Every time I died, the tower announced my death. Even if I regressed, TOP knew that I had regressed.
That someone in this world is watching me. To remember.
When things were really hard, that fact was a comfort to me.
[Purchase ‘Oracle Message’.]
Now it was my turn to be someone’s comfort.
[20 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 215.]
I purchased 40 oracle messages.
The Heretic Questioner was still smiling. You won’t be able to find out what items other people have purchased.
In the meantime, I designated a total of 40 people as the subjects of the oracle, including the goblin priests, the blood leaders in charge of each pit, and the sword slaves resting in the gladiator’s quarters.
‘… … ‘What should I tell you?’
I was worried.
‘I don’t want to tell the Sanwa people to revolt. Whether to rebel or obey, it’s all up to the goblins to choose. What I have to give my children as gifts is not the choice itself. ‘It’s about helping children make their own choices.’
There is only one sentence that can be sent in a message.
After careful consideration, I chose an oracle among the things I could say.
[The white lion is by your side.]
Stop.
The mother, who was applying water to the child’s face, shrugged her shoulders.
[The white lion is by your side.]
Plasma, who had just gotten out of the pit and picked up the stone ax, was shocked.
[The white lion is by your side.]
The gladiator was surprised in his cramped quarters.
He was sharpening his dagger when he dropped the whetstone.
[The white lion is by your side.]
This person whom you regard as a god is powerless.
There is no power that overturns the earth, and there is no miracle that shakes the sky.
All I can do is at most utter one word.
[The white lion is by your side.]
That was the first oracle I ever made.
-…….
The old goblin lying on the cave floor tossed and turned. The priest stood up using the embers of the firewood as a staff. Bassuk. The staff broke because it could not bear the weight, but the priest had already recovered.
-Purr… .
The old man walked through the maze of the underground cave with difficulty. The more I walked, the faster my steps became. The old goblin climbed from underground to upward, upward, using not only his feet but also his hands.
-The White Lion spoke to us… .
The priest held the rock with his front hands and stepped on the cave floor with his hind feet. A red aura flowed from his aged flesh. An aura resembling a flame echoed through the cave with its voice.
-The White Lion spoke to us!
There was an echo.
-The White Lion spoke to us!
The goblins’ underground cave had dozens of paths. The priest’s voice, which vomited out auras and cried, also echoed along dozens of paths. In a hole that was closed a long time ago when the rock salt ran out. At the salt mine, where work began at dawn.
-You said… . To us… … .
-The White Lion spoke to us!
The echoing voice finally reached the mine entrance. There were goblin blood there. The goblins who were drinking the dawn water from the jar pricked up their ears.
-The White Lion gave us…
And the old man collapsed from exhaustion.
He squeezed out every last drop of his life and poured it out.
-You said… … .
The old priest lay on the ground without the strength to stand up again. He had not yet stopped shouting. Hearing his own voice return as an echo, the priest closed his eyes.
-Kher.
-Kekerkereuk… ?
The goblins were noisy. They stuck their heads out of the pit and all looked at the entrance to the mine. Echoes were still flowing out of the dark mouth.
-Keruk.
One plasma put down the child and stood up.
He was one of the 40 people who received an oracle from me.
-The White Lion spoke to us!
Plasma shouted before the last echo of the old man disappeared. It wasn’t just one person. Dozens of designated tribes who had received oracles raised their heads one after another.
-The white lion has finally returned!
-I heard! Hey, I heard that too!
-He said he was by our side!
That was it. The children who had been given the oracle shouted urgently as if they had to tell this to their fellow countrymen. That alone embarrassed the Sanwa tribe supervisors.
-What is it, lime? These suddenly became a group… .
-quiet! Everyone be quiet!
-From now on, I will whip the mold that makes loud noises!
Snails crawled out of the watchtower and waved their tentacles. slap! Several goblins flinched when they heard the sound of a whip. Nevertheless, there were some designated tribes who did not stop shouting, but the Sanwa tribe made no exception and beat the instigators.
“…….”
The Heretic Questioner sighed and stroked his chin.
“indeed. Did you trigger an oracle message? It’s simple yet effective. But Death King. Your points will be limited. You can’t give an oracle to even thousands of people, let alone 10,000! “This level of turmoil has been resolved by the Sanwa tribe.”
I did not wait for the Heretic Questioner’s words.
I immediately purchased the following item.
[Purchase ‘Search for Prey’.]
[5 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 210.]
This is an item I have already purchased once.
I quickly used the item.
‘Please search for the lion closest to here.’
A map was drawn in my head.
That place was the Colosseum. There was an animal cage right next to the gladiatorial arena, and as many as five lions were locked in cages. The lion peacefully gnawed at his ox bone.
‘okay.’
I purchased the third and final item from the store.
‘I will purchase animal possession.’
The tower responded.
[Purchase ‘Animal Possession.’]
[40 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 170.]
Before the Heretic Questioner could finish speaking, I was possessed by the messenger of the Colosseum. Whoa! My vision was distorted. My mind went dark, as if a fuse had blown.
That too for a while.
The next moment I was occupying the body of a lion.
“Krrr… ”
Unlike the last stage, this lion did not have white fur. The mane was also plain brown.
It doesn’t matter though.
“Crumbling. bowl.”
A lion’s voice is a lion’s voice, no matter what color its fur is.
Aura was raised from all over the body. The red-scented aura throbbed in my heart. Exciting! I captured the beating of my heart and poured it out with my voice.
“Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”
The animals trapped in the cage across from us were startled.
“Krrrrr!”
My cries jumped over the bars and escaped the animal cages. It rang in the square where the Colosseum was built. It spread to the streets where the plaza was spread out, to the walls where the Sanwa people came and went, to the ceiling of the underground city, and eventually to the pits dug by the goblins.
‘I am here.’
You can tell even if you can’t see it with the lion’s eyes.
Now, the goblins are sure to listen to my cries.
You are listening to my voice.
“Krrr… … .”
I took a breath.
“Guru-!”
Lion’s Roar exploded.
The name of the place that became the hometown of the designated tribe. The name I gave it. It was the first name and letter we shared, and we cried out the cry that eventually became our faith.
“Guru!”
The answer didn’t take long.
-Guru… … .
A shout was heard from across the Daegongdong. The shout was infinitely quieter than my aura-filled voice. But my ears never missed the sound of the goblins shouting.
“Guru!”
and.
They didn’t miss it either.
[A rebellion breaks out in Slimepolis!]
[The Jijeong tribe rises up against the Sanwa tribe!]
etc,
