Chapter 221 – Chapter 221 ― An Unexpected Gift (2)
Episode 221 ― Unexpected Gift (2)
All sorts of questions swirled in my head.
How did you get into that body? Are you in the same way as me?
Why do we live like this?
Why is the divine power inside your body?
What kind of victim are you?
How did you choose and kill the spies of the imperial castle, and the people of the grand duke?
However, the first and most important reason for visiting him came to mind.
Roan was the first to say it.
“Why did you tell me to be wary of Elenir?”
Hearing those words, I wrinkled his already distorted face even more.
“… Why, does it hurt because of it? How many times have you been beaten?”
“What?”
It was a strange question.
I am?
How many times
Does that mean he has already suffered something?
But when Roan looked at him, he waved his hands as if he was satisfied with Naor.
“Okay, no. What’s with that corny armor anyway? Has Elenir’s taste become so gloomy?”
“… It’s not tacky.”
Even as he said that, Roan looked down at the growing armor I was wearing. So did Erenea, so did this guy, and then the ladies-in-waiting on her wedding day did the same.
Is this strange to the eyes of demons? Helen said it was okay…
“It is a valuable item that has been difficult to obtain. Don’t talk about it.”
“Would you like to say one more word?”
Naor sighed and jumped up from his seat. Roan’s muscles tightened. However, Naor relaxed his guard with a languid tone.
“All I brought was alcohol. The two of us don’t get along enough to chat without drinking. A rude bastard from the morning breeze. Did you really come empty-handed?”
A low voice similar to Roan’s and a cold, cold tone. In the end, is there no choice but to have traces of Roan that cannot be erased in the ‘original’?
Naor, who had found a glass and placed it with the bottle, asked a scary question as he sat down.
“How did you find out?”
“Because I also learned divine magic.”
“Isn’t it nonsense that the emperor uses divine power? That’s right… What are the demons…”
“Aren’t you in a position to tell others?”
The two men looked at each other bewildered.
Roan remembered how I came to have divine power. Magic was created as a quest reward, and divine power sprouted in the process. In the end, it was the goddess’ arrangement.
That means…
“Did you meet the goddess too?”
“… What.”
Roan’s eyes widened at Naor’s brusque reply. Yongcheol, the core of Roan, couldn’t come to this world if it wasn’t for the power of the goddess in the first place. But the real Roan, Naor, is different. He was the king of demons from the beginning.
What is the reason for the king of the demons to find the Goddess of Life that humans worship?
However, as if Naorra didn’t want to discuss any more details, he said while pouring a drink.
“You don’t intend to come here every time a problem arises like this, do you? I don’t want to get entangled in the imperial castle.”
Disgusted expression.
Naor grumbled.
“I hate just looking at her face.”
“Isn’t that something that hangs around me too much? I didn’t expect to find it all at once like this.”
“Originally, watching others suffer is the most fun. You don’t know how comfortable it is to live as an ordinary person with a lot of money.”
Roan’s eyes narrowed.
Naor tilted his glass and giggled.
“Did you have a premonition that you told me not to get close to Eleanor?”
“There’s nothing to go as far as a premonition, right? I’m sure If you already have divine power, you must have guessed? There is a problem with Erennier and the Grand Duke of Darkness.”
“It’s a strange power.”
Naor didn’t open his mouth.
Even putting that name in his mouth seemed unpleasant.
Roan raised his glass and smelled the incense.
It was so soft and rich that it was hard to believe that the author who was the demon king made it himself.
I drank a sip. Contrary to appearances, heat that made the inside boil ran down the esophagus.
“The power he follows is not good. It’s a devil’s trick You are so arrogant.”
“Have you ever smelled a stench?”
“Stink?”
Naor frowned and nodded his head in understanding after a while.
“Ah. Does it feel like a smell to you? To me, that power stings my eyes. Just looking at it is disgusting. Is it different for each person? I don’t know because I’ve never met other people with divine power.”
“Two human priests have entered the imperial castle, but neither of them has ever said such a thing.”
Then Na Orra naturally rested his chin on his chin.
Roan realized that the habit was the movement that was ingrained in him.
“… Looks like it’s just you and me, I guess.”
It’s just that guy and me.
There is only one point of contact between the two of us with divine power.
Goddess Laurecia.
A power that cannot be discovered unless it is the power of a goddess.
Erennier has something to do with it.
“Does Erenier know? What power do I use… That she is twisted.”
Then Naor looked straight into Roan’s eyes.
“Does it matter? Do you really like Eleanor?”
“… I want to.”
“Under… If you look like that, no, that’s my original face, but… Are you secretly innocent?”
Roan pondered.
Although he has several women… I’ve never thought about any of them lightly.
“… Everyone is precious. Besides, isn’t Elenir the one who gave you affection even when you were such a mess?”
“Affection? Can you call that affection?”
Naor’s eyes darkened.
I’ve shown a few unpleasant expressions while talking to Roan, but
Even if you don’t have any skills, you can understand this
Clear hostility.
Roan looked at him blankly, his mouth shut. He couldn’t hide his expression of unease. Then Naor filled up an empty glass and poured it back into his mouth before asking sharply.
“Looking at his expression, do you know that? The hobby of that crazy bitch.”
“Hmm.”
When Roan agreed, Naor became more savage.
“You say you know that? Seeing what you’re doing, I thought you were stupid, but aren’t you a real asshole? You die then.”
Naor’s ‘die’ is not a bluff.
A light of concern flashed in Roan’s eyes. But Na Orr seemed unwilling to stop his words.
“He is too tamed. A kid who is so used to getting what he wants with other people’s lives, and it’s only natural that he somehow gets or destroys what I want. Do you know what happened to all the kids who slept with me before you came?”
What are you talking about?
There was a slight wrinkle between Roan’s brows.
Recognizing that it meant something like a question, Naor answered bluntly.
“It’s all over. Erennier found them and killed them all.”
From the nape of the neck to the waist, the chilliness is transmitted vertically along the spine.
Roan was speechless for a while.
After a long silence, what Roan said was a simple question. His head is pounding
There was no answer other than that.
“… What?”
“I thought you knew that and picked one of the kids to sleep with and kept it by your side… Ha, is this grabbing something with a hind kick? It’s also good.”
“All… Killed is…”
“Literally what. There’s no way a kid who fills his bedroom with your portraits will leave the kids mixed with you alone.”
Roan looked at Naor as he tipped his glass in disbelief.
That it was,
The slaves, including Lisa, who were entangled in the bed when they first came here,
Grünent, Helen, Aina, and even Diobe, who mingled behind him…
It means that if I hadn’t ordered him to live or kept him by his side, Erenier would have killed him.
It’s a short hair difference.
It was only then that Roan realized that the look in her eyes that Erenia had glanced at while talking to other women was really murderous.
“That’s it, the one who was in Swin Lake or Eastern Emperor’s Land… Is it because of the power?”
“I don’t know about Emperor Dong, but she knows what’s on Swin Lake. It’s that awesome power. Okay. Both the Grand Duke and Elenia were soaked in that power… Everyone there is like that. You can see it at a glance.”
“That’s why you recognized all the spies.”
“Because there is no reason for Swinho’s people to crawl into the imperial castle. The Grand Duke is a persistent guy. The people of Swinho wanted to get caught, so they hired people from Basel. It wasn’t difficult to recognize him, since he puts a magic trail on it.”
He said with a sigh.
“Thanks to that, I couldn’t open my eyes, in the castle.”
“It’s because of that sign.”
“That’s why I hate Hwangseong. Everyone’s so tired of not being able to keep an eye on me. I didn’t choose.”
Naor looked straight at Roan.
Roan read the emotion in his expression. It was a mixture of sympathy and support.
He looked relieved.
“He became emperor at such a young age. It was too much power for me. No matter how much the inspiration of the small meeting helps me, I know what happens if I leave it as it is. In the end, I die just like my parents. In the hands of the Grand Duke or her. I don’t know, humans might come to catch me and kill me.”
Roan wondered, as his voice sounded full of conviction, expressing vague anxiety.
“The future is not fixed. It is not known what will happen.”
“You don’t know. I know You know all too well what is going on in that castle.”
Naor looked at Roan with melancholy eyes.
“I was fed up.”
With those words, Roan felt as if he understood what Naor was trying to say.
Roan’s core was not a young man who had been supported like him. He was already a man who knew how the bottom of the world lived.
Because he had lived in a different world from Evir Geo, he was the one who knew where this place was heading, and he was able to acquire magic and skills with the power of the goddess.
Fortunately, Yongcheol’s ‘Mirror’ skill was aimed at the hero. Because he knew that the warrior was the enemy. Perhaps Naor had no such luck.
He could have used the skill of the Grand Duke or Erennier as a deterioration version, but he wouldn’t have had a chance to grow like dragon iron.
No one owed Yongcheol a debt here,
Yongcheol could start anything anew.
However, Naor, for the real Roan, the position of emperor is a position of love and hatred acquired only through force after his parents died. He doesn’t know the world It is not known whether he did not inform him or not, but it is certain that he did not know the life of the floor at least than Yongcheol.
Yongchul didn’t want to say, ‘You did a crazy thing’.
Roan doesn’t know how to protect himself. He had no choice but to wield a sword and use force to eliminate those who threatened him.
There was pity in Ron’s eyes.
Both the dead and those who killed were just pitiful.
“So you found a crazy breakthrough.”
“It’s kind of funny that I tried so hard to live.”
“It’s not funny to try to live.”
Roan’s voice was soft.
Naor looked at Roan with a disgusted expression. However, Roan’s eyes did not waver.
“It is very painful and difficult to protect my life from the menacing blade. It is not miserable.”
“In the end, the method I chose was to run away.”
“Borrowing the power of the goddess?”
Naor didn’t answer.
Roan filled his empty glass instead of asking for an answer.
“It was stupid to only increase strength.”
Naor, who poured Roan’s glass back, spoke like a lamentation. His face was already quite red.
“Idiots are stupid. It wasn’t just strength. Unfortunately, those who could hit me in the back of the head were gone too soon. Whether it is the situation in a foreign country or the situation in the country. No one asked me to know that, and I didn’t feel the need to know.”
For Yongcheol, divine magic, skills,
Or the favorability display window or the knowledge of the game.
If he hadn’t had all of those things, would he have lived a better life than Naor, the real demon king?
He couldn’t tell.
“I also looked for someone other than me. I heard there is a prisoner mark that the Goddess has foretold.”
Roan felt the shock as if he had been struck by lightning.
It’s about the story of the ‘Hero’ that comes out now. The demon king knows the hero.
And what followed was even more shocking.
“But even that is not enough.”
