Episode 165 < Rain, mud and fire. (2) >
3.
When I took a step, I unconsciously closed my eyes.
“Grrr.”
The darkness in the cave was thick. As dark as it was, it was dramatic when it cleared up. The illusion of a ray of light coming on with every step you take.
Light hit us.
-Ker, ker!
The goblins quickly lowered their heads. Living in caves for a long time has altered the physiology of the Jeong tribe. Thin eyelids. Enlarged eyeballs. Goblins are weakened by light.
For a while we walked looking down at our feet.
-…….
The wind blew.
The next moment, the sunset unfolded.
-sky…….
The goblins muttered softly.
It’s already evening outside.
The oil seeping out from the sunset flowed down in red.
-The sky is red.
For the first time in their lives, the slaves looked up at the endless sky. It may be a natural right for humans to be born and look at the sky, but for the slaves in the cave, it was a luxury they enjoyed for the first time in their lives.
-What the old people said is true. It is heaven.
-Why is the sky red? Goruk. Is it bleeding?
-Red… .
-The world is on fire.
I was dumbfounded. Because I was afraid. Or perhaps in unknown joy, the goblins whispered. They looked around and looked at the world.
[The designated tribe is freed from slavery.]
[The status of the designated tribe changes!]
Letters appeared before my eyes.
+
[Designated tribe]
Extinction level: B (danger warning)
Proverb: ‘We are fire.’
Description: Designated races are races with all abilities at the lower level. The abilities of each designated tribe are insignificant. That’s why they become a colony and come together as one!
The designated tribes developed only a very small number of characters. These characters are known to all members of the designated tribe, from the humblest to the noblest. Minimal language. Minimal characters. Knowledge cannot divide designated tribes.
‘We are fire.’
Even though the fire may burn in many ways, it always burns as one. The designated tribes have devised many cultures in order to become ‘one’.
They hold ‘meetings’ in the dark of night rather than in broad daylight. The appearance of designated tribes is buried in darkness, and individuals are not distinguished. Therefore, all designated tribe members who participated in the rally spoke ‘anonymously.’
Let the fire of the Designated Tribe continue to burn!
Attributes: [Blood Flower(※)], [Guru Doctrine], [Legacy of Records], [Greed Armor(※)]
Evolved: Unknown. There are a total of 2 evolutions.
Alias: Goblin, etc.
※caution! There are characteristics that are in danger of disappearing.

‘iced coffee. also.’
I narrowed my eyebrows.
‘With the death of the priest, [Blood Flower] is in danger of being put out of action.’
Bae Hu-ryeong shrugged his shoulders.
-Well, in addition to knowing how to use auras, the condition is that you have to use red auras. It’s tricky.
‘That’s right… Umm. For this stage, we need to start with what to do with the Aurors.
-Is there a way? If you want to buy it from a civilized store, you have to pay a lot of money.
‘Yes, that’s right. So I’ll buy something else.’
I thought about it.
‘Civilization Store Open.’
Grumbling.
Items on display in the store appeared.
+
[Trust Message] – 20p
[Possession by an animal] – 40p
[Appears in a dream] – 100p
[Search for prey] – 5p

I bought an item I had never used before.
‘I will buy one item [appears in dream].’
The sound effect of coins falling sounded like a jingle.

[Purchase ‘Appears in a Dream.’]
[100 race points are consumed!]
[Your current race points are 70.]
‘okay.’
The goblins who would use this item also had something to think about.
I turned to a young goblin.
The name of the goblin who was sleeping peacefully using his compatriot’s buttocks as a pillow was Gorke.
‘It meant clear water.’
Gorke, a goblin named Clear Water, muttered in his sleep.
-Kerukke.
rain.
-Kerrruk.
Mud.
-Guru.
I quietly looked at Gorke, who was sleeping, dreaming of somewhere other than here.
Item was used.
‘[Appears in a dream].’
Paaaaat!
My vision swirled and the surroundings turned white.
4.
A moment later, I was standing in the middle of the field.
“Hoo?”
There was no end to the wide open plain. Shoot ahhh. Rain was falling on that endless plain. The fields that had absorbed the rainwater became soggy and dark.
In the middle of the mud field, Gorke was lying with his mouth open.
The pouring rain wetted Gorke’s mouth.
-Purple. Purr.
Gorke happily swallowed the rainwater.
A face that says there is nothing more to wish for in this world.
That was the dreamscape of a young goblin dreaming of his hometown.
“indeed… .”
I was convinced in many ways.
“There isn’t much difference in desire between goblins and humans.”
-Goruk?
Did you hear my voice?
Gorke released his arm pillow and raised his head.
-Who are you?
“Can you hear me? Do you see me? Gorke.”
-Choose… ? Pure race?
Gorke tilted his head with a blank expression.
I assumed as solemn and serious a posture as possible.
“It is not pure race. Poor kid. My name is Kekerukker. “He is a white lion who honors you as sacred and leads you to the Guru, the promised home.”
-Keruk… ? Kekerukker? This is ridiculous!
Gorke snorted. Kpuhome! The goblin had a big nose, so when she snorted, the sound effect was as loud as if she had actually farted.
-Kekerukker is a lion. He has a beautiful mane and shows off his thick skin. But what are you? Isn’t his spiky black hair and skin dry? Kekerukker is not as ugly as you!
“No, this bastard?”
– Punishment? Keruk? What does that mean?
“It means a cub that will dig a hole in the ground and then throw it head first.”
-Wow, this purebred’s mouth is very dirty. Ker. There is no way something as shallow as you could be a white lion!
“Gorke. I taught you letters. I taught you how to hunt. Kekerukker was born and I am Kekerukker. How can you doubt?”
-Show me the evidence!
“good night.”
I dug a hole in the mud.
Then he grabbed Gorke by the ankles and threw him headfirst into a hole in the ground.
“Now do you see some evidence with your own eyes?”
-Kerrrr?! Kerr! It’s the devil! The devil has appeared!
“what? You can’t see it? I can’t help it. “I admire you so much that I’ll show you some more evidence.”
I scooped up a handful of mud and put it into a hole in the ground.
It was still pouring rain. With the mud and rain mixed together, Gorke literally had a full body mud pack.
he screamed.
-Believe! Okay, I believe it! You are definitely a kekerukker!
“hmm. “It is very good that you are quick to understand what to say.”
I pulled Gorke out of the hole.
The goblin was trembling with dirt on his head.
“Gorke. “Everything that appears in my dreams has a precious meaning.”
I continued speaking while shaking the dirt off the goblin’s head.
“This Kekerkker wants to teach you, Gorke, how to become an Auror.”
-Auror?
“Didn’t the priest show you the blood flower? Didn’t his hands ooze red? That’s an Auror.”
-ah. Are you talking about [Holy Blood]?
“Holy blood?”
-We have a body and a soul. Everyone has a body, but one soul. Complete as one. Goruk. Those who overcome the limitations of the body and reach the soul can bleed not only with the body but also with the soul… . however.
Gorke frowned.
-weird. This is the teaching given to us by Kekerukker. If you are really a kekerukker, why are you making such a fuss and forgetting what you told me?
“Kid. I never taught anything like that. “What I taught you is how to write letters, count to three, and how to hunt.”
-Kher? Are there any idiots who can’t count to 3?
These bastards.
How can you forget the past just because 200 years have passed?
I worked hard to teach you Arabic numerals.
“done. If you are in doubt, get up in the morning and go to the lion, Kekerukker! I am the lion, and you will know that the lion is me in your dreams. So shut up now and learn what I’m teaching you.”
-You mean holy blood?
“Yes. “Then let’s start class right away.”
I raised my arms and started beating the goblin.
-What?! sick! Krrrr! What, why are you hitting me so suddenly!?
“Originally, the fastest way for an Auror to learn is to get hit.”
This is the method Bae Hu-ryeong taught me a while ago.
Actually, I only knew this method. If there was a common sense method like sitting cross-legged and blah blah, concentrating my mind and doing this and that, I would like to learn it first, but I can’t… .
“From now on, I will beat you to the point where you think it would be better to die. During the beating, you will continue to send auras through your body, so feel the current flowing through your body. Feel it and capture it. “Become aware of the blood flow that spreads like a spider’s web throughout your body.”
-Kerrr! sick! sick! Grumbling?!
“Huh.”
Gorke crouched down. I lightly grabbed his wrist, straightened it, and then pounded his palm, wrist, shoulder, and chest in that order. puck! puck! Aura flowed through my fist and into Gorke’s body.
-Kerrrr?!
“These are all teachings that become flesh and blood. “Concentrate.”
-There will be nothing left but blood and only flesh!
“That’s it. Don’t you say Auror is holy blood? To show holy blood, wouldn’t the soul have to be wounded and shed blood?”
Despite my logical words, Gorke continued to argue.
-If this continues, I will die!
“no. This is not real life, it is a dream. No matter how much you beat it, it just hurts to the point of death, but it doesn’t really die. “It’s truly the perfect environment to learn Aura.”
-Cherub!
The scenery in my dream changed. From the mud fields to the arena of Slimepolis. In Gorke’s view, the current situation is no different from the sight of the Colosseum.
“Ohh. “It worked out better!”
I was delighted.
“Come on, Gorke. There are gladiators staring at you. That scary thing with Angwang is ready to do anything if it can tear off your head. No matter how much it is a dream, it won’t hurt if your hair gets prickled. “Hurry up and fight!”
-Oh, it’s a nightmare. Ker. It’s a terrible nightmare!
Gorke cried.
-Kerkerkker! You saved us from hell, but where are you now? The devil is tormenting your squire! Save me, Ker! Save me!
“Uh huh, that’s because I’m a kekerukker.”
In my dream, time passed slowly.
Although an incredible amount of time has passed, Gorke’s dream is not over. Thanks to this, many young goblins suffered non-death deaths, and I leisurely led Gorke.
How long has it been like that?
“Oh oh!”
Flames flickered in Gorke’s palm.
Although it was faint, it was definitely an aura.
“Look, Gorke! It’s an auror. “Holy blood is on you!”
-Kerrr… .
The young goblin looked down at his palm. My eyes widened. It’s like he lost something precious.
-Kill it… . Leave me alone, devil. I can’t hold on any longer… .
“If you don’t mind dying, the fastest way to learn is by dying. The universe is overflowing with martial arts people who cannot master Aura even if they practice martial arts all their lives. On the other hand, you learned the secret in one night. Isn’t this a coincidence?”
-Please kill me… !
“From now on, you will have to work hard to serve the designated tribe.”
I smiled happily and placed my hand on Gorke’s shoulder.
Gorke flinched.
-Bo, volunteer?
“Since the priest died, there is no one left to demonstrate [blood painting]. You take over. I find your culture beautiful. “You must try to keep your beauty from disappearing.”
-Kerrr. But I don’t have enough talent to become a priest… .
“But it seems like the Auror is still a bit immature. How do you feel? Gorke. Are you going to work hard for ten more days to realize the ultimate power of being an Auror?”
-It will work. Gorge! Priest, I will!
“That’s great.”
I nodded, satisfied.
“Then I won’t leave the dream. When you wake up, come see me and check. “If I were really Kekerukker, I would pat you on the shoulder.”
And I woke up from my dream.
Quiet dawn.
The goblins had already woken up and were preparing to go home again today. The mothers caught fish in the river, and the children grilled the fish. There were many goblins quietly watching the rising sun.
-Keruk… … !
A young goblin stood up not far away. It was Gorke. His green forehead was wrinkled and drenched in cold sweat.
-Kerrr… Yes, you lived? Did you survive, Ker?
Gorke was breathing heavily. The goblin slapped himself six times, perhaps trying to determine if this was a dream or reality. Realizing that the nightmare was finally over, Gorke breathed a deep sigh of relief.
-…….
That too for a while.
Gorke hesitantly approached me.
-Kekerukker… .
The young goblin looked up at me with earnest eyes.
-Last night, the devil came to me and harassed me. Ker. The devil dared to impersonate Kekerukker and torment me. He felt like he was going to die. He thought he was going to die. I wish you could show me that Kekerukker is not the devil… .
“Crumbling.”
chin.
I slowly lifted my front paw and placed my hand on Gorke’s shoulder.
-…….
Gorke’s face was filled with despair.
“Krrr. Gor, croak. Wrong.”
‘Don’t forget what I said and do your best. ‘Kid.’
Although he couldn’t have understood the messenger’s words, Gorke was shaking.
[A new successor to Blood Flower appears.]
[The designated tribe is free from the risk of losing the trait Blood Flower!]
It worked. It worked.
-This bastard… .
Bae Hu-ryeong muttered. Bae Hu-ryeong watched me teach Auror skills from Gorke from beginning to end.
-Why are you teaching so ignorantly? . do not do that… . Please treat me well… .
etc,
