“… ”
We were able to get out of the building and go outside.
I guess I felt something uncomfortable because I got out easier than I thought.
The saint looked at the building with a lingering expression.
“Saint, I don’t have time to think about it right now. We have to pretend like we never came and change our clothes. If you are caught wearing Atomic’s outfit, your identity will be-”
And the saint’s body began to glow.
Suddenly the clothes were changed.
no. I wear it after working hard.
That guy does it so easily.
I’m a saint too.
It was difficult to show my dissatisfaction openly, so I just quietly changed my clothes.
“Are you going back now?”
The saint asked for the next destination.
“That’s right. Now Atomic will probably come to the headquarters we made. It won’t be good for us to find out that we visited this place, so let’s leave quickly.”
The saint also said the same thing.
We turned around the way we came and headed back to the base.
Buildings collapsing.
The Yeonguk people are rebuilding it with alchemy.
Once the purpose was simplified, many tragedies that had been overlooked came into the eyes of the saint.
To me, these are familiar scenes that I saw on the monitor.
Scenes that would be unfamiliar to a saint.
Did that conflict with existing questions?
The saint asked me a question.
“But why did you bring me here?”
The saint eventually realized that she had done nothing, so she asked me.
I had nothing to say.
This is because they were brought here with the intention of selling them and running away if they were caught.
Saints don’t have magical powers, so it’s not really a problem.
“It’s because it’s taboo.”
I hid the fact because I couldn’t tell the truth.
“Taboo… Are you saying this?”
“Yes. The peculiarity of Atomic and the taboos determined by it are no problem as long as there is a saint.”
Atomic taboo.
Anything that causes chaos in society is prohibited.
If you consider its peculiarities, you can understand why this taboo was enacted.
“Atomic’s unique feature is human development. A technology to extract magical power that humans absorb and process. For this technology, we need as many ‘sane’ people as possible. So they created a taboo.”
Magical power exists naturally in nature.
However, that magic power cannot yet be used by humans.
People who can use magical power absorb external magical power and process it so that they can use it for themselves.
This process occurs naturally without much awareness.
“The more you use magic power, the more it increases. Like physical strength. So we forcibly extract magic power, then the maximum magic power increases, and then we extract it again… The uniqueness of Atomic is that this is repeated.”
It is not easy to forcibly remove the processed magical power that operates as originally intended by humans.
I don’t know how I did it either.
The invention was just accomplished, and Atomic was able to produce horsepower.
By using humans as livestock.
“But what does that have to do with taboo? and… And what does it have to do with me?”
“I told you so. In order to maintain this technology, ‘a lot’ of ‘sane’ people are needed. If they are not healthy, they may die midway and production may be disrupted.
So the atomic taboo was established with a slightly different meaning. It was designed to hide the singularity and help maintain the singularity.”
The saintess tilted her head as if my words were a little difficult.
To facilitate understanding, the direct intention was highlighted.
“To put it simply: In order to maintain singularity, we need a lot of healthy humans. So we decided to prevent any confusion. If you stop violence and disturbances, there is relatively little risk of harm to your body.
Also, it is a unique feature that requires a lot of humans to be maintained, so of course, if this fact were known, there would be a lot of Yeonguk people who would want to leave this land, right? That’s why they arrest people by making it easy for them to break the taboo. So that no one knows the true intentions of the company.”
This operation actually worked so well that not many people know the truth about Atomic.
There was a widespread belief that it was a good place because it was safe, even if you were arrested and judged as an earring if you put it on your ear or a nose ring if you put it on your nose.
“That’s why the saint is important. If you have a saint, you don’t often get hurt, right? I brought you there because if you have a physical problem, you can wait there until it gets better.”
Even though it was a hastily made excuse, it seemed plausible.
In fact, it was even more believable because it was not completely unrelated to this reason.
Except there’s almost nothing here that can hurt me.
This is indeed a true story.
“Almost arrived.”
The saintess who was listening to my explanation soon pointed ahead.
In fact, our destination was right in front of us.
“Can I wait now?”
The saint opened her mouth once more.
“That’s right.”
I joined in with the answer.
Four large corporations that exist in the country.
Negotiations with the last of these companies, Atomic Generation, were about to get underway.
============
“Is it a success…? ?”
When we returned, what welcomed us were the directors waiting for the results.
I waited so long for an answer.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t give a proper answer.
It’s simply because I don’t know.
“Well? But I will definitely come here. Because the information written there is worth it.”
The other people felt somewhat reassured by those words.
When I explained various situations, he nodded even more.
Now all that’s left is to wait.
Fortunately, the wait was well rewarded.
A group appeared leading a huge procession.
They came forward, leaving behind countless people in uniform.
However, there were not many people who looked tall among them.
To be exact, there was only one person.
“Is it a success…? !”
But no one was disappointed by this fact.
Because he was someone everyone knew.
“Atomic Chairman… ”
His identity is the chairman of Atomic Generation.
Because it was General Atomic.
My parents roughly chose my real name.
“But why did you come alone? What about other directors or shareholders?”
People around me don’t know what to expect because they haven’t heard the details of the process.
The saint and I knew.
Probably because only he saw the letter.
He must have come here alone.
“Can we have a conversation?”
He approached us and answered like that.
What I had to say was decided.
“Welcome. What you decided to do with us.”
Now it was time to go to Changje.
===========
A long time ago.
A day so old that the country was called the Kingdom of Feyre.
There was a kingdom of Feyre.
The kingdom was a small and insignificant country.
The territory is also large.
The past is also great.
The military is also strong.
Doesn’t apply to anything else.
It was just a small country.
Due to the geographical conditions, various terrains overlap, making it rich in resources.
The only thing I can boast about is that it has a slight advantage in alchemy.
It was that kind of kingdom.
But are heroes born regardless of era?
In a family home in an unremarkable kingdom.
A great alchemist has awakened to this land.
It is said that he is better than anyone else and creates, not alchemy.
He was called the alchemist of creation.
Although numerous countries tried to recruit him.
He ultimately remained in his hometown, the Kingdom of Feyre, where he was born.
I still don’t know why.
He remained in his native country and contributed to his country.
In this way, the Kingdom of Feyre became increasingly wealthy.
Instead of rivers, the kingdom flows with milk and honey.
A country where it is said that gold falls from the sky instead of hail.
The country of gold. His country became so wealthy that it was nicknamed Geumguk.
Thanks to no one else but to an alchemist.
Making bread out of air.
Rusty iron becomes gold.
Watching broken weapons become state-of-the-art weapons.
People were excited.
I was delighted.
I was thrilled.
In a country that had no nickname because it had nothing to boast about.
So much so that I finally got a nickname.
At that time, the entire country said the same thing.
“The Kingdom of Feyre will remain an eternal power.”
And this is the last time in this story that citizens speak directly.
There is no need to just write a letter of grief that borders on screaming.
We’ve just been walking in the wrong direction for 300 years.
This is the story of a sad man.
