Episode 373: Southern Grave (7)
One of two beings.
A man whose face was hidden in the dark spoke.
“Starting from Roman Dmitry’s case… … The Duke of Vieto is at the forefront and rallying the people. The public is on their side. “If the situation is incited just a little bit more, it could quickly escalate into a civil war.”
next.
Another being also spoke.
“Emperor Valhalla is responding strongly to this situation. Rather than listening to the public… … “If he gives the order to suppress the rebellion, Valhalla will face irreversible disaster.”
content of their reports.
I was used to it.
Roman Dmitry had witnessed mysterious scenes through the World Tree, one of which was the appearance of Isabel, the queen of the Kingdom of Luna.
And another one.
In a dark space, Alexandre was carrying out some kind of plot, and he appeared to be receiving reports of exactly the same content as now.
Moment.
“Fuha.”
Alexandre burst out laughing.
The way things were going, and more precisely, the identity of the men who reported to him, made him happy.
Two beings.
They were the Emperor of Valhalla and the Duke of Vieto.
With calm faces, they were reporting to Alexander the details of the Valhalla imperial family and the rebels biting each other, as if they were not the ones responsible for this incident.
The people of the world have fallen into a great delusion.
It is thought that Duke Vieto, who could not overcome the atrocities of Emperor Walhalla, finally rebelled, but in fact, from the moment Stern Walhalla ascended to the throne of emperor, the two were almost like allies.
On the palm of your hand.
Valhalla was placed.
Alexandre barely suppressed his grinning lips and spoke to the two men.
“Our plan is progressing steadily without a single deviation. The variables caused by Dmitry are nothing more than trivial things that are not worth expressing as variables when we achieve what we want. Rather, it gave me the opportunity to advance something I had been planning for a long time. Incite people. Provoke people. “The moment Valhalla is engulfed in war, we will be able to hasten the moment we have hoped for.”
An expression that is trivial.
It was appropriate.
No matter how great a swordsman Roman Dmitry was, he was nothing more than a chess piece in the whirlpool of rebellion, guided by Alexander’s will.
How fun it would be if he found out about this.
If something like that were to happen, Alexander thought he would want to show this scene to mock him.
Unlike my previous life.
My current self was far superior to him.
It was then.
The moment he leaned back in his chair, Aleksandr’s sharp gaze looked into space.
slap.
“… … The power of the World Tree?”
That moment.
Alexander had already noticed Roman Dmitry’s presence.
That his conversation was overheard through the power of the World Tree.
But instead he smiled.
“Roman Dmitry. If you had appeared in this world a hundred years earlier, our plans would have faced great difficulties. But not now. In a situation where there is a period left, reality will not change no matter how hard you try. Try your best. “The more intense the finale, the more fun it will be.”
A space filled with darkness.
Unlike the two men who bowed their heads and did not move, Alexandre could not hold back his laughter for so long that he shook his shoulders.
* * *
Back to the present.
Fragments of memory were recovered.
Alexander’s image was scattered in the wind, and behind him, the Emperor of Valhalla was looking at Roman Dmitri with a smiling face.
“Kkekekeke, isn’t it fun? As you said, Stern Walhalla was our puppet. Through him, we eroded the inside of Valhalla and made the people of Valhalla dissatisfied with the Emperor. Idiots who cry out for romance and only pursue purebloodism. “They hold their heads high and say they will live only for Valhalla. Just as they accepted your existence to take down the common enemy called the Emperor of Valhalla, according to the original plan, they were planning to completely devour Valhalla through the conquest of the continent.”
Grand plan.
There is a time for it.
It had to be now, and Stern Walhalla was the scapegoat who had to die at some point for the sake of the plan.
your own destiny.
Stern Walhalla knew.
In the eyes of others, he boasted of his omnipotent power in the Valhalla Empire, but in reality, he had to sacrifice his life the moment Alexander’s order was given.
He wanted a normal life, but was forced to become emperor. Going down from that place was also something he could not choose.
So it was crazy.
I lost my mind.
Even though he was going to die anyway, he enjoyed the power to his heart’s content, and killed all beings that were offensive to him in order to feel the relief he felt when he killed Jejus Valhalla.
That’s how notoriety built up. People called him a cruel and ruthless tyrant, and he naturally did not show much interest in the state affairs of Valhalla.
There was no reason to try hard. The shell of being the emperor of Valhalla did not give him any special meaning.
This was the truth of Stern Walhalla.
The moment of execution.
He showed his weakness.
The sight of him struggling to survive, holding on to the rope, was the true face of the man named Stern Walhalla.
The Valhalla Emperor said.
“It’s such a pity. Because of you, Stern Valhalla was scrapped, and the plans so far were completely revised. At that moment, Sánchez proposed a rebellion to me. We planned to remove Stern Valhalla from the position of emperor and gain your trust by replacing him. You’re so smart. How did they find out our intentions? “I thought it was a perfect plan, but I never thought it would be discovered so vainly.”
The hypothesis became true.
Alexander.

The years of his preparation were accumulated one by one.
What Roman Dmitry confirmed was only the tip of the iceberg.
“I’ll ask you one last question.”
A series of situations.
It may have been shocking, but Roman Dmitry was calm.
No matter what the other person said, I asked for the necessary information.
“If you were planning on hiding the truth from me. Why was access allowed to the southern tombs?”
* * *
actually.
My suspicion of the Valhalla Emperor was only at a borderline level.
The fact that Hernard’s condition was not as good as expected had been ordered to find out about him, but it would have obviously taken some time to reach the truth.
However, the Emperor of Valhalla allowed access to the southern tomb.
Even though I would definitely have gotten clues if I went in there, I didn’t try to ignore the situation by making excuses.
Emperor Valhalla.
pointed to the sky.
“It’s for entertainment.”
“Playfulness?”
“The person we serve hates boring fights. You have to rebel as much as possible and resist as fiercely as possible, and the joy of subduing them all is great. And I didn’t want to give any room for doubt. I was supposed to be completely friendly to you, but I decided that if I didn’t allow you to enter the southern tomb, there would definitely be a chance of raising suspicion. “Based on what we found out, you are quick-witted enough.”
He grinned and laughed.
“Of course, I had no idea that the truth could be inferred with just that much information. The records of Canelas Valhalla speak of Kronos’ intervention, and the records of Cortes and Stern speak of the unfairness of the appointment of a successor, but in fact, even if I knew all that information, it would not be easy to guess that I was behind it. Looking at things like this, Canelas Valhalla is truly amazing. “By making the records in the archives indestructible, we were unable to remove them in advance.”
Roman Dmitry has already reached the truth.
so.
I deliberately told the truth.
Why?
From now on, it was show time.
The Valhalla Emperor said with a smile on his face.
“Roman Dmitry. You have reached the truth. I even found out who I was, who was above me, and that Stern Walhalla was in fact just a puppet. So what are you planning to do with me? People watching us right now might think we are having a normal conversation. But what if they kill me in front of their eyes? “You will become the villain who killed the emperor of Valhalla.”
I walked around.
Although he appeared benevolent to people, in the eyes of Roman Dmitri, the Emperor of Valhalla was stained with madness.
“Look at the people who can’t take their eyes off me. Thanks to you, I became the hero of Valhalla. A true emperor who brought back the romance of Valhalla and was worthy of purebloodism! We acknowledge you wholeheartedly. Starting from the outskirts of the Dmitri family, you grew incredibly quickly. by the way. The moment you kill me, you will definitely fall into the abyss. I have already given instructions to my subordinates so that your explanation will not work, and all the people in Valhalla who praised you will have blood in their necks saying that they must take revenge on Roman Dmitri. From then on, war is inevitable. It will be difficult for the ragtag group of united kingdoms to block the attack of the Valhalla Empire, and in the meantime, the Kronos Empire will put an end to its grand plan.”
The price of murder.
It was very fatal.
Even if he knew his intentions, it was foolish to kill the Emperor of Valhalla in front of everyone.
“But that doesn’t mean you can’t kill me. If you let me live, I will have a base from which to attack Dmitri. To attack Dmitri someday. Public opinion toward you is good now, so I can’t be openly hostile toward you, but the human heart is like a reed, so there is room for change at any time. It’s not a task to change one’s reputation, especially for an outsider like you. Now, take your pick. “Are you going to kill me or not?”
I stretched out my arms.
As if to kill him.
His face was full of mischievous smiles.
“Let me tell you in advance, this land where we stand is where Valhalla began. Southern jungle. “I assure you that killing me, the emperor, and escaping here will not be that easy.”
He was sure.
Roman Dmitry.
In this game led by Alexander, you will never be safe.
* * *
I felt people’s eyes.
The people of Valhalla.
Warriors of Valhalla.
They came a long way to see Roman Dmitry, and their eyes were filled with awe as they watched him take the test.
They were sure.
Roman Dmitry, who saved Valhalla from the abyss of evil, will become a great warrior in the future. Therefore, he tried to be more visible.
Their burning desire.
If you commit an act that betrays it, your cold desire will turn into intense anger.
This was the game the Emperor of Valhalla was aiming for.
He prepared for any unexpected situation.
First, I went out to meet him, turned off the voice, and thought about Roman Dmitry.
suddenly.
Memories of my past life came to mind.
In the burning flames.
In the ruined village, a woman holding a baby looked at Baek Jung-hyuk and cursed him.
“You devil!”
“Are you still human?”
“why! “You demonic cultists go around hurting people!”
Not just the woman.
Everyone in the village pointed their fingers.
Baek Jung-hyuk stared at them as they cried out in fear of death.
a few days ago.
The members of the martial arts faction first wiped out the family of the demonic cultist.
After killing all the people who begged for their lives, they put it on display for pride. It was its revenge.
However, people blocked their ears and did not see the truth, and they screamed, trapped in the prejudice that the Demonic Cult symbolizes evil.
People who say that the Demonic Cult is absolutely wrong. Their anger could not be calmed by anything.
that day.
Baek Jung-hyuk realized.
The way of the devil.
People unconditionally condemned the Demonic Cult as evil.
According to common sense, a life of the fittest is unconditionally wrong, so even if a political faction committed a mistake, the Demonic Cult was held responsible.
It was truly ridiculous. Political factions who cry for justice have also committed countless devil-like acts.
I’m not making excuses for saying the Demonic Cult was good, but in the end, human life was no different.
Whether it is a demonic religion or a political sect.
Both pursued each other’s interests.
However, depending on whether it was revealed on the outside or not, people distinguished between justice and evil.
At that time, amidst people’s criticism, what kind of life did Baek Jung-hyuk, the Heavenly Demon, choose?
I approached the Valhalla Emperor.
As people were watching, the Emperor of Valhalla showed a friendly smile as if asking him to give it a try.
That moment.
Sigh!
“… … ?!”
I grabbed my head.
The embarrassed Emperor of Valhalla opened his eyes, tilted his head and looked down.
“It looks like you made a big mistake.”
people said
Roman Dmitry.
Hero of Valhalla.
The benefactor who saved Redford.
A brave warrior who defeated the Kronos Empire.
All kinds of nice-sounding modifiers have been used to describe him.
In this life, as long as he does not cross the line as a human being, people will unconditionally support Roman Dmitry no matter what he does, just like the political faction did.
He is not like that.
People will praise Roman Dmitry like those who defended the scum that was a benevolent political hero on the outside, but behind the scenes tortured and raped people.
but.
“I am a person who is naturally accustomed to playing villainous roles.”
as it is.
Crack.
Twisted the head of the Valhalla Emperor.
