Episode 204. Enemy or friend?
Alfredo looked down on me too much.
Perhaps he is the only one who knows the path of the sea from south to north.
He probably thought he couldn’t kill himself to meet God submerged in an iceberg.
‘That was a miscalculation.’
Having spent more time on the battlefield than anyone else, I never forget the journey I took not only on land but also at sea.
Especially if you have a map and compass, it is very easy to follow the route he took.
Departing from Legion, I headed to the nearest port in the west with Rox.
It didn’t take long before we arrived at a small dock located at the edge of the cold sea and rugged wilderness.
In this quiet place, there was a small abandoned wooden boat and a broken dock, and there was silence inside, as if time had stopped.
“There’s no one there?”
Rox took the lead and looked around near the ferryboat. He showed the wind that it was an abandoned place, with old trees creaking and broken stones making a dull sound against them.
“It has to be that way. “This place has already been touched by the Rothschilds.”
“Rothschild’s?”
“Yes, before this war ripened, guys called the Knights of God swept the west.”
“At that time, this place must have been caught up in that battle too.”
“But did they attack fishermen who were not knights?”
“They would have killed not only the fishermen but also the farmers and everyone else they could see.”
“… why? Those guys in the west didn’t join hands with us. “Was it really necessary?”
“I guess it’s to prepare for something unexpected. “If the west and the south join hands, their influence will reach the royal capital.”
There is no need to think too deeply now that the war has ended with our victory. At that time, the Rothschilds must have prepared various methods to catch us.
If the nobles in the west do not help the south with the Glazers in the east fallen.
They thought they could devour us.
“No, then shouldn’t they just negotiate with the West first?”
“They don’t negotiate. Just to notify you. “How can people who have the blood of God talk on the same level as humans?”
“under… . “They were really rich bastards.”
“That’s right, you, who have real demon blood, are quiet too.”
Rox chuckled and nodded his head loudly.
“So, that’s right. “Anyway, there doesn’t seem to be any useful ships here. What should I do?”
“I’m going on that ride.”
“that? “That old wooden boat over there?”
“Okay, that’s enough. “It’s not roomy, but it’s not enough for the two of us.”
“No, isn’t it dangerous to go out to sea in a small boat like that?”
“at all. In fact, it might be good to be able to move quietly. Even if you arrive in the north, the probability of not being detected by the enemy increases.”
This was never meant to reassure Rox. Because he sincerely judged that he was good for carrying out the operation.
“Useup-. “It looks dangerous.”
“Even though it’s dangerous, there’s nothing we can do about it. “It is an unavoidable choice if we want to achieve our goal and return within the given time.”
“… Okay, well, let’s just go for it. But who will control the ship?”
“It’s you.”
“… “I’ve never rowed a boat before?”
I just raised my head and saw Bae Hu-ryeong, his clown, floating on the rocks.
“You may not be there, but that guy will be there.”
“huh? “This guy?”
“Yes, if I remember correctly. “Brother Hysteria said that when he traveled alone to distant places, he took a boat.”
Pierrot Bae Hu-ryeong said something with an absurd expression. Of course, I couldn’t hear what he was saying because he wasn’t Bae Hu-ryeong. Maybe it means don’t say strange things if you’re not sure.
Rox, who was listening to him, raised the corners of his mouth and spoke to me.
“I see, this guy seems to be able to control the ship. “Otherwise she wouldn’t have reacted so loudly.”
“Okay, then I’ll take care of adjusting the boat. Well, if you fail, everyone dies. “If that guy doesn’t want to disappear from the beach, I’ll help him.”
The endless blue sea of the north.
Across the distant strait, the sound of glaciers crashing against pieces of ice shook the quiet night.
Rising through the deep darkness was a ship. Crossing the endless blue sea toward the north was the wooden ship of Verdin and Rox.
“Verdin, I’m suddenly curious. Can I ask you one question?”
Rox asked me as he slowly turned the rudder of the boat.
“Why are you trying to break up with that guy Jin?”
“With Jin?”
“huh! If it were me, I would have become one with that guy. “I heard you two were originally one?”
“And if you go back to that time, you will become a god. If that’s the case, then the two would be the strongest if they joined forces, so I don’t understand why they don’t do that. “You always wanted to be the strongest, right?”
Whether in my past life or my current life, I have always dreamed of becoming the strongest. And I dreamed of being called the top in all time, beyond the past, present, and future.
If I join hands with Jin now and become a being called God, that is not the way I think I can become stronger.
There will be more than one person who will find my thoughts absurd when they hear these thoughts.
We are barely struggling with the choice of humanity’s survival.
This was more important to me than anything else. It’s also the reason I was born again.
From what I heard through the dragon’s memories, my life was all planned out. It was always me who created a new path in repetitive time.
I will be the one to finish this story.
‘It’s not Jin, it’s Dean.’
High waves hit our boat.
The salt water pouring over my head soaked my hair and made it limp like seaweed.
“Ha-as expected, it’s dangerous on a small boat, Verdin!”

“Yes, it’s dangerous. But I don’t think this risk is bad.”
“I am. No, my life. “I think it is no different from this small ship that divides the endless sea.”
“An infinite flow of causality created by a guy called God. “I am leaving the vast sea to find where I want to go.”
Siegfried, who had been quiet, came next to me. He must have found the story with Rox interesting, so he closed his eyes and listened quietly to the conversation.
“It is dangerous for this ship to cross the sea now, and although it may encounter hardships on the way. Eventually, we will reach our destination.”
“The same goes for the rest of my life. While you’re heading towards your destination, you may get lost and a lot of things can happen. In the end, I get there and accomplish everything.”
“Just like we have been doing while Jin was away. “It means we can continue in the future.”
Rox wiped the sea water off his face with his palm and answered with a smile on his face.
“i think so too. what… . Even if you’re not with that guy, you’ll do well. “Even if I don’t become a god or something, I can become the strongest.”
“So, make sure you stick close to me and follow me. “Even if I don’t need Jin, I do need you.”
“You need me?”
“Yes, you are my first party member. “I mean, take a good look at what kind of person I am from beginning to end.”
“… “I’m the first party member.”
Siegfried, who was listening to the story, yawned loudly and asked me.
“I’m sorry I’m in the middle of telling a nice story. “You two know that it’s extremely dangerous right now, right?”
I turned my head and faced Siegfried.
“It’s dangerous?”
“Yes, such rough night seas along the coast are not a place that a novice helmsman like you can easily overcome.”
I also know.
So, I followed the sea route I passed with Alfredo earlier and entrusted Rox with the steering.
“Are the guys you know not doing anything right now?”
“Coping with it.”
“… Look, what’s under your belly now.”
As soon as he finished speaking, I sprayed the aura deep into the bottom of the ship. It must have been really dangerous for Siegfried to come forward and warn me.
Did that guy appear?
The monster from the north that Alfredo mentioned earlier, a creature that everyone who lives on this continent knows.
‘Noord’
People who live in the sea are not afraid of this or are afraid of it. I heard that it is a being that is worshiped and placed in a god-like position for mental escape.
“Bebebe verdin!”
Rox shouted.
I quickly drew my sword and prepared to strike where his gaze was directed.
‘It doesn’t matter what happens.’
Even if this being called the god of the sea blocks our path. Because I’m ready to break through this guy.
With the thought ‘I am prepared,’ I faced the being that emerged from the depths of the sea.
Paaaaat- Quang!
‘What’s this?’
A completely unexpected guy jumped out of the sea.
A pirate ship that is thought to be ten times, or even dozens, times larger than the wooden ship we are on.
“Kuuuuuuuu, it’s been a while since I’ve tasted meat!”
And a one-eyed man looking down at us from the deck of the pirate ship.
“… Teach, Harald.”
The greatest villain in the North, a legend that I saw in many children’s storybooks when I was young.
Pirate, Teach Harald.
“Kuuuuuu!”
I got to meet him.
On a huge iceberg in the north, Vergin, a man called God, and Baphomet, an apostle, met.
The two had a long talk based on Monestier’s death, and Baphomet explained how the past events had unfolded and the reasons for what he had done.
“So, before I came down to earth, I gave you an order to guard the top of the tower?”
Jin asked, glaring at Baphomet with the eyes of his forehead.
“Yes, my lord. When and where and who to make an apostle to me. And what kind of power should be given to them. “He entrusted me with all of this.”
Baphomet broke one of his horns and placed it in front of Jin-ui, then took out a small stone embedded in it and handed it over.
“This is the ‘Heimdall’ that God gave me. “If you drive this into your horn and blow it out, you will have the power to create apostles.”
“I don’t know why I don’t remember this.”
“What do you mean?”
“To guard against Ordin. “A memory that gave you strength.”
“I think that was probably forgotten in the process of separating the soul to become a human.”
“If not, in another body of the master. “It might be in Verdin.”
Verdin has memories of when he was a god that Verdin cannot remember.
Jin felt that this fact alone could pose a great risk. So he may have been even more wary of Baphomet.
Without knowing whether the person who had arrived right in front of him was really an enemy or friend.
“… Master of the Tower, it is time to return to normal. I will make the road for you. “Just follow me.”
