by admin“The information ends here. I don’t know much about the ruler. In particular, I only know the names of the five beings I mentioned earlier.”
“I see… .”
I heard information about the ruler from Iyan.
However, even Iyan had a lot of information about the ruler that he did not know.
The approximate rank and name are all.
Except for a few people that Iyan had met or had information about, it was difficult to know their appearance and even their race.
“The manager usually does not come to the union, so what I just mentioned is also what I heard. Still, there is some information specified in the union, so I will organize it and send it to you in a document within today. Don’t expect detailed information.”
Fortunately, Ian said he would personally look into it, organize it, and send me the information. I stopped talking about the ruler here and asked about the owner of the city just in case.
“That’s enough. Rather than that… Does the owner of the city also participate in the rulers’ meeting?”
“I’m curious too. If you see who he is, please explain to me.”
“Sure.”
Of course, Ian didn’t know either.
This is because rulers are also difficult to see.
I roughly got all the information I needed.
But before ending the conversation, I briefly asked about Ian.
“This is a personal curiosity… How many floors did you climb?”
A guy who always quietly provides information.
A guy who is cold, but pretends not to be worried.
As we talked, I suddenly became curious.
How did this guy fall here?
Ian frowned slightly at the personal conversation, but answered without bothering to hide it.
“… That’s a random question. It was on the 67th floor.”
“It’s not a high rise. What did it do before it was discarded?”
“I got greedy and received the administrator’s quest incorrectly and failed. I thought it had potential, but there was a hidden twist. I shouldn’t have accepted the discarded quest… .”
“What level is it?”
“It is now 340. I had to use evil to survive here and grow.”
“I see… .”
I’m definitely a bastard.
Because I survived here and grew like this.
This is probably the only case where it has the power to come out twice.
Even though he climbed up by stepping on corpses, he is good at handling things and even has talent.
His personality is good and he communicates well.
It would be a good idea to scout in advance.
“If you ever get out of the city, would you consider staying in my village?”
“Yes?… … .”
My eyes opened wide.
He looked slightly embarrassed.
It’s probably because he didn’t even think about getting out of here safely.
“If you have any thoughts, tell me. Because I will treat you well.”
“… … … what… If possible.”
This is a slightly depressing answer.
It was a voice I did not expect at all.
It was as if his eyes had already drawn the line that his end would be death from the beginning.
furthermore.
“But with what face can I live comfortably after committing so many sins?”
He made a sound like that.
I guess I wasn’t expecting an answer either, so I came to my own conclusion before answering.
I’ve already had enough of “ delusions. I will be grateful for your words.”
What can I say?
This is my first personal conversation.
That alone showed how miserable he felt about himself.
In a way, he is also broken.
Even if you whisper hope that it is possible, you are giving up on yourself if it is not possible.
In times like this, it would be useless to say anything… .
It felt a bit awkward to just ignore it, so I added a word without thinking.
“That time won’t be far.”
“… … … I have no expectations.”
The story ends here.
The guy got up from his seat.
“Do not cause any accidents during the leadership meeting. If you get caught, I could be in danger too. Even if you die, don’t let your true identity be discovered. Then I’ll just go.”
“Okay.”
Again, again.
It’s a cold farewell like every time, but my steps are slightly slower than before.
A walk as if in agony.
Then, after just a few steps, he stopped and looked back.
“What is your real name?”
A similar question to when we first met.
It was a difficult question back then, but it is a very easy question now.
There was no need to hide it.
I answered my real name, not Cardelpion.
“It’s Muchan.”
“… I will remember it.”
That moment.
blood-
The corners of the mouth rose slightly.
It was a brief moment where I wondered if I had seen something wrong.
Again.
Yi Yan turned around and moved again.
There was a trace of regret behind him, but his steps were slightly lighter.
*
When was the last time you heard something called comfort?
I never thought I could hear it in my life.
So I guess I had some hope for a moment.
Again.
Ian walked with his eyes closed.
In a world that was clearly stained black, it seemed like a faint ray of light could be seen in the distance.
‘But that’s it.’
The light dispersed into gray.
Still didn’t expect it.
Because I am not in a position to expect anything.
*
Three days until the rulers’ meeting.
I gave up climbing the tower and returned to my elf body and had a meal with Shaella.
“The ruler’s meeting will start soon.”
While eating, I told him all about my plans.
There is a meeting of rulers.
I will go there.
As soon as she heard that explanation, Shaella pointed out the risk.
“What will you do if you get caught?”
Since I am a fake, I can be seen and as Shaella said, I can be caught.
What will happen if you get caught?
It’s a question that doesn’t even matter.
“I’m going to die.”
“What is it? The answer without that tension. Then it becomes difficult to monitor the city.”
“It’s okay. I just need to infiltrate again.”
Ian said.
If you are at least level 300 and can adapt to the city, you will be accepted as a noble.
If you put a lot of effort into it, like a body climbing a tower or an elf from a sacred tree, you can create a body like that. This means you can infiltrate again at any time.
You may not be able to live comfortably like in the case of Cardelpion, but it will be enough to communicate with Iyan.
I told you that.
“Umm… Still, I’m anxious.”
“I will practice cardelpion for the remaining three days. All you have to do is not get caught.”
“I wonder if Mojiri will do well… .”
“What?”
I understand his concerns.
The rulers might notice that I’m strange.
Still, I can’t give up.
We need to know their strength.
“They said there are five particularly strong people in the city. I plan to find out in advance.”
“Is that what that guy named Lee Yan said?”
“Uh. He is my only collaborator.”
Shaella also knows about Iyan. This is because we often talked about city matters whenever we rested or ate.
Thanks to that, he knew what kind of situation I was in, so we talked quickly.
“You won’t betray, right?”
“If that were the case, the city would have been invaded long ago. Anyway, I’m thinking of taking a look at the rulers. If you do well, you will be able to see the owner of the city.”
“Lord of the city… .”
Bae-al’s signature existence.
An unidentified being.
It is presumed to be a deity, and a being that even rulers cannot touch.
We need to figure out who he is.
“So, we will come back and see how strong the ruler and the owner of the city are.”
“Can you understand your topic?”
“Well. Even if you don’t know their strength, you can roughly figure out how threatening the opponent is.”
It is a feeling gained from becoming a plant.
I can feel a transcendent sense of discomfort in things that are threatening. When I first saw Cardelpion and also with the World Tree Ataliksha, I felt this discomfort and acted as cautiously as possible.
In other words, just look at the size of the sense of discomfort.
As the body grew, these senses became much sharper than before.
You can probably tell how threatening it is.
But there is one problem.
If she gets to Shaella’s level, it’s hard for me to evaluate her.
At this point, it would be necessary to measure this guy’s power and figure out the proper standards.
blast furnace.
“Shaella.”
“Huh?”
“Threat me as much as possible. Compare their level with you.”
I provoked Shaella.
“You want me to threaten you?”
Shaella frowned, but it was absolutely necessary. The important thing is to distinguish how much of a threat the rulers are compared to Shaella. Perhaps, if you use Shaella and Kardelpion as a standard, you will be able to gauge the level of the rulers.
Therefore, we need to gauge its strength first.
Since I usually don’t feel anything, I was thinking of assessing it this way.
“To compare how threatening the rulers are, you need to know your strength first. So I want you to threaten me.”
but.
“… I’m anxious.”
Shaella looked uncomfortable.
It’s a face that worries about me.
Therefore, I added additional explanation.
“I’m not asking you to hit me. Just think of me as your enemy and try to cheer me up. Just as Cardelpion was spreading intimidation. That’s enough to detect it.”
“Hmm… … … .”
Still, he looks very anxious.
He looks at me as if measuring me.
“Is it really something to worry about?”
“No, that’s not it… You might not be able to endure it, but is it okay?”
“You’re not telling me to hit you? Just try to cheer me up with the emotions that are killing me. You strangely don’t feel well. Don’t hide your energy, but reveal it to me as much as possible.”
“That’s because they’re hiding it on purpose. It would probably be difficult if I revealed it… .”
“Hmm?”
“I don’t know~ You told me to do it. Just endure it once.”
Meanwhile, Shaella just looked at me.
What is the problem?
I don’t feel anything-
Tuk.
“Hey, are you okay?”
“Wook… .”
My thoughts were interrupted midway.
When I realized it, my body that had been falling backwards was being supported by Shaella.
“Well, what is it.”
“What is it? I was the one who held you up when you almost fell.”
“Huh?… .”
dizzy.
feel like vomiting.
It was truly a moment.
I couldn’t endure the moment when Shaella’s energy engulfed me and I lost control of my body.
The sense of discomfort I felt at that moment was so great that I never wanted to feel it again. I felt like I had become a very small being.
This… It’s not something that can be compared to something like Cardelpion, right?… … .
Is this the power of God?
It’s hard to express.
Because I didn’t even have the capacity to face it properly.
“It’s more amazing than I thought… .”
“Because I focused on you alone. If you do this, even the slave hunters won’t be able to hold on and will collapse. Still, it seems like you were only shaken for a moment, perhaps because you are a world tree. I endured it well.”
“Is this going to hold up well?… .”
“Of course. This is huge. You also have status. So remember it well. Is there anyone who uses this much energy?”
“Okay… Thanks to you, I can understand it well.”
I have a rough idea.
If Cardelpion was as large as the sky, Shaella was like the sun in the sky. The rulers I need to be wary of are somewhere in between.
Smirk.
“Right~”
As I was thinking hard, Shaella, who was supporting me, stroked my head.
Something… I couldn’t resist.
Because Shaella looked great.
“Right, right. Just keep surrendering to yourself.”
“… … … .”
Tuk.
I quickly came to my senses and escaped.
I just realized something.
It’s important to understand your strength, but it’s also important to be able to hold on to it.
If that’s the case.
“Shaella, please do it again. Don’t hang up like you just did. Continue.”
“Huh?”
“I’m going to practice with this.”
“Hoo?”
Shaella smiled in a peculiar way.
However, there was a bit of playfulness mixed in, as if they were wondering how to bully me.
It doesn’t matter how it comes out.
This too will be great training for me.
