Episode 234:
Charleuk.
The emperor of the empire opened the rolled parchment and read each one.
Unlike before, the emperorâs eyes were bloodshot and his complexion was much messed up, probably from long fatigue.
However, his gaze was focused on the writings of nobles piled up on the table.
âA lot of things have changed since that day.â
âWhat do you mean?â
âFirst of all, it means that you are still hanging around me.â
first.
The first spear of the Empire.
The number engraved on the red armor is 1.
1.
It was the simplest and most powerful symbol of his might.
window of the empire. first.
Had he been there, would the sword of Colius have reached the emperorâs throat? At this, the knights shook their heads. No matter how strong he is, First is the pride of the current empire and is treated as the strongest knight.
A symbol of the armed group called the Spear of the Empire. Because that was the first.
The dominant perception was that without him there would be no spear of the empire, so First left the task of protecting the empireâs holy ground to someone else and came here.
âI think it turned out better.â
âYou mean the incident where Carpeâs sword was pointed at the emperorâs neck? It is called the disgrace of the empire, and this incident will remain in the history of generations, so it went well?â
âIsnât that why I can be by your Majestyâs side? Thatâs why I said it. You have to keep me by your side.â
âItâs a national loss to have the strongest man in the empire by my side.â
âThe empire is the emperor. There are no losses.â
âThank you for saying that.â
because
âWhat has changed?â
In response to Firstâs question, a letter of appeal was handed down from the Emperorâs hand.
âThey say the windows are strange.â
âYou mean the windows?â The
âyesâ
window is strange.
Is this a sarcastic remark to the emperor of the empire? Are you sarcastic about the spear of the empire that protects the emperor? While thinking about this, First realized that the emperorâs words did not mean that.
âMy spear is fine.â
Firstâs grandstand.
Ningeroum was showing off its solid majesty. A gigantic spear to match the gigantic size of First.
A long ago.
When the Empire invaded Carpe.
The owner of the large window that flew into was First. It was the first spear of the Empire.
Several large spears are fragments of Firstâs Ningeroum.
The emperor shook his head at Firstâs indignation.
âIt seems that things that have not been changed for a relatively long time are trouble.â
âHow do you thinkâŠâ
âHmm.â
In response, the emperor appealed again.
âThe window keeps talking.â
when I said that.
again.
Along with the sound of shoes, a womanâs jade-bead-like voice resounded in Daejeon.
âTheyâre trying to move on their own.â
At the appearance of the woman, Firstâs eyes narrowed and the corner of the emperorâs mouth went up.
âWho is this? queen of the empire. Isnât it Sir Ailee who has been called upon by the spirit of creation? Now that I like swords more than spears, I thought Iâd never see you againâŠâ
Chuck.
Ailee waved her pink hair and bowed reverently.
âI have something to tell you.â
âTry it. The saintess who was taken captive came back in good health, and there is nothing that I canât hear.â
Contrary to his easy-going tone, the emperorâs eyes were quite fierce.
A captive saintess.
The defeat of the saintess will soon lead to the fall of the empire.
This is a painful disgrace that cannot be recovered even at the cost of oneâs life.
As the emperor of the empire, she couldnât possibly look good on her way of life.
Her will is the will of the Empire.
her strength soon.
Because it is no different from the power of Lactus, the creator.
The saintessâ defeat is a disgrace to the gods.
The emperor raised his eyebrows and chin.
âBut, saintess. Youâd better be very careful with what you put on your tongue. Any number of saintess candidates are prepared.â
The situation in the empire is not good.
Many nobles died.
It was because the battlefield of corruption and dragons took place in the middle of the empire.
The dragon threw away its dragon form and fought, devastating the surroundings, and the corruption was also clearly showing why it was called corruption.
On one side of the empire, the aftermath still remains.
The dragonâs claws scratched the ground.
A plague of corruption is forcing the Empireâs people to die.
Unknown plagues or curses turn around, jealous of each other, and there are many people who have become insane due to mental illness.
When innocent people are doing that, how can the condition of a person called the emperor be good?
if.
Unless something satisfying came out of the saintessâ mouth.
It was clear that the emperor would throw her away.
âYou have a message from God.â
â!!â
âWhat? What did you say!â
Coudantang.
All the parchments piled up in front of the emperor collapsed.
Within a month, he approached the saintess and began urging her.
Crisis of the Great Empire.
A message from God at this time.
For the emperor, it was something that had to take precedence over anything else.
âGod.â
âGod!â
I follow the words that come out of the mouth of a pious saint. It was a figure that represented the emperorâs furious heart.
âYou said it.â
-Prick the root with my spear. If you do, everything will be solved.
Pierce the root with my spear.
âMy spear refers to the first spear, and the human root refers to the heart, the foundation.â
Letâs interpret this.
Pierce the heart with the spear of God.
That will solve everything.
âDear GodâŠâ
The emperorâs gaze turned to the Holy Spear held by the saintess.
âWhose heart should I stab?â
The emperorâs gaze was immediately on the holy window.
turned into a saint
âI know what happens when you stab me in the heart.â
âWhatever it is, it will be an honor.â
Seeing that he evaded an answer, his life as a human being would probably be the last.
Armed forces inside and outside the empire talk to each other and try to move freely.
This is probably a problem related to divine intervention.
I donât know what drives them, but if it can save the empire.
The emperor must obey the will of God.
Even if it destroys the empire, Godâs will cannot be rejected.
If God denied the spear, the empire would no longer be an empire, and the emperor would no longer be an emperor.
my window.
root.
my roots.
What is the root of God?
The root of the spear that made the empire exist.
âfirst. Perhaps the root does not mean the heart, but does it mean that of the holy land?â
âI donât think so.â
imperial sanctuary.
There was a flower garden and stone statues of successive saints of the empire.
âMaybe God is trying to wake them up from their slumber.â
The sleeping apostles were about to wake up.

Same time.
âItâs the source of a giant⊠Itâs been quite a while since a human asked something like that.â freŃwebnoŃ”el.com
Gerter, stroking his red beard, looked at Colius as if he were curious.
A person who wants to transcend species and challenge the divine prestige.
who wants to become a god
Those who have already developed their own power.
However, Gerterâs impression of seeing the half-god was not so great.
As if there were quite a few people who did that in their own time.
Itâs just that itâs been a while, so itâs kind of strange.
I was curious for a while.
âWhat are you going to do after finding the giant?â
Gerter replied, rubbing his ear canal with his finger as if it was annoying.
Calliusâ eyes narrowed at his casual attitude.
The attitude of talking as if there was a human other than himself who found the giant.
It is the name of a giant and the face that is not interested in himself.
âWhat are goblins?â
They are a race that is honest with their desires.
Knowledge that is not interesting is not interested even if it is for something.
In a way, it was a natural reaction.
They are cursed by God.
Leakage of knowledge takes away a lot.
âGerter. I am not a human trying to challenge God.â
âI donât care what you are for. To say the least, itâs a waste of money in my head. Donât tell me, I donât even want to hear it.â
Quite stubborn.
Itâs different from Lecter.
Worn out//Ah, an old monster that has lived for thousands of years.
All kinds of knowledge is stored in that head, so you wonât be satisfied with anything.
First, it draws his interest.
Concerned with just that thought, the shocking words soon came out of Coliusâ lips.
âAre you a god or a giant? I havenât decided yet.â
ââŠâ
Gerterâs eyes changed.
His eyes, which had been dull all the time, became moist as if they were waiting for something meaningful.
âWhat decision are you talking about?â
âI am a pilgrim. I am looking for my sword.â
What is that sword made of?
The pilgrim has not yet been decided.
Whether it will be a god or a giant.
âOr it might be something else, but in the end, those two will remain.â
Itâs just the difference between a god and a giant.
âAre you going to cut God?â
âGod wants to kill me, but thereâs nothing I canât kill God.â
Gerter was silent for a while.
I just quietly watch Colliers.
Then he opened his mouth and answered in a deep voice as if recalling a distant memory.
ââŠThere was a human who said that in the past. So did she. He said he would cut God.â
âWhat happened?â
âdead. Didnât they say it turned to stone?â
rock.
It was said that it had become a holy stone statue.
âDo you know what happens to those who have turned to stone?â
âIt must have turned to stone.â
âTheir spirits donât go anywhere. If you think about it, that is freedom and eternal restraint.â
Freedom and eternal restraint.
Colliers understood the meaning at once. And a holy stone statue came to mind.
A stone statue in the sinking forest.
The holy stone statue that created the sacred ground like a spring water gushing generously that nurtured Balterusâ tears.
Fatalite.
âIf you want to find a giant, youâd be quicker to ask her than me. Because you smell like Fatalite.â
Gerter twirls his fingers.
It was painted in the air as if it were reminiscent of a cartwheel.
âgray. Thanks to you, the gods moved. Thanks to that, those who shouldnât be awakened are awakening, so all of them will appear as enemies you must deal with.â
slither.
Suddenly space is distorted.
Space tilts from his finger drawing the wheel.
Callius felt dizzy.
Itâs like the feeling of moving through space by breaking a bridge between Materigan.
âWill you tell me when she wakes up? I, Gerter, âstill watching.ââ
And Whirik.
When he came to his senses, Coliusâs field of vision captured a familiar landscape.
A holy stone statue standing tall in the center of a black and white flower garden.
This is the abyss of the sinking forest.
sanctuary there.
It was the sacred place of Fatalite.
