After that, it became very awkward and the conversation did not continue.

    As it was dark, I closed my mouth and it became really quiet. I hate this silence. Especially in such a daunting situation.

    “Could you please tell me about the thirteen servants of Maal?”

    “How do you not know that?”

    It was a tone that seemed absurd.

    “You saw it. How mountainous the place I lived was. I don’t know anything about the world.”

    Jules’ laughter echoed in the darkness.

    “···Raising a child in a place like that.”

    “My parents are good people, right?”

    “If that was the case, why did you run away?”

    Ah, Jules was going in this direction.

    My parents are bad people. That’s why I ran away.

    “······When Creator Maal founded this world, it was truly a world without anything.”

    “Then what did you make first? Water, land?”

    “No, he created a servant to create the world.”

    You didn’t make it yourself?

    “Lu and Diana created the sun and moon, Neptune created water and the sea, Vulcan created matter, Mercurius created climate, Ceres created life, and the nameless earth mother created plants and earth life.”

    Religion is a sanctuary for the mind created by humans.

    The creation of humans was probably done by Maal.

    “Pangaea was created by the seven servants joining forces.”

    Then who created Ajin?

    “······Maal, what did you make?”

    “He left everything to the servant and looked back on it from then on. Sometimes he just helps us avoid disaster.”

    You make a servant and watch from behind?

    Have you been improving your artificial intelligence coding by rewriting it?

    “How long did it take the servants to create the world?”

    “Ten thousand years.”

    “······Yes?”

    “Creating the world must not have been easy.”

    I thought I could make it in a week like God.

    This is something that only the person who created it can know in the first place, right? You need to filter it out to some extent.

    “Now that I think about it, there are thirteen servants, but only seven showed up.”

    “The rest of the servants were not there at that time.”

    “Did you make more later?”

    “That’s right. There is Pluto, who presides over hell, Venus of love, Prometheus the prophet, Dantalian, a servant who is nowhere to be found and the devil of goodness and generosity, and Dragon, the guardian of Pangea.”

    The backlash from atheists was intense.

    “How do you prove that fact?”

    “Those who had such curiosity asked the dragon a question. The answer I got that way is Genesis.”

    ······Maybe it’s because I’m jealous.

    Because the so-called gods of Earth have never once shown their faces to their creatures. They are at least interested in their creations.

    “It seems like you don’t particularly believe in God, but if you ever have to go to Horus, try going to the Magic Tower.”

    They must be the angels the devil spoke of.

    If you follow the devil’s advice, there is nothing good about being noticed by them. Then I should never go to the Magic Tower.

    “Arrived.”

    Jules put me down and opened the lab door.

    “The lamp was here. I almost went back for no reason.”

    Tak-tak!

    The flint in Jules’ hand sparkles brightly.

    Soon the lamp caught fire, burning as brightly as it was dark. Now all you have to do is find the key and leave…

    “Is this the key?”

    Jules reached out and picked up the key in the drawer.

    “How did you find it?”

    “It smells like iron. I’m sensitive to this kind of smell.”

    Even if there is a rust smell, does iron also smell?

    ···You must have found it because it was me, right? All animals are made to be sensitive to the smell of blood, and although not all, the smell of iron is one of the main components of the fishy smell.

    It was a good thing because I didn’t want to stay in a place like this for a long time. After receiving the key and lamp from Jules, I quickly left the lab.

    When I try to go back, the way back is too long. At least it was comforting to have a lamp. How can one spend more than a century in a place like this?

    How old is Julia in the first place?

    “Is Jules close with Julias?”

    “We met a few times for work and became close friends.”

    “Rather than just work, it felt like we had been seeing each other for ten years?”

    “Julias is a man without fault.”

    A person without fault…

    The Julia I saw was not a flawless person. Although he smiled and was friendly, the look in his eyes that he gave me was extremely cold.

    Nevertheless, Jules believes in her.

    That alone was reason to watch it again. One day is too short a time to judge a person.

    “It seemed to me that he was not a blameless person.”

    “I wonder what kind of person Julias is?”

    Even though I asked first, it goes straight through my mind. Was the question too revealing?

    “Yes. What kind of person are you?”

    “I don’t know much. I heard that Yulias awakened into Dragonia 160 years ago. And the power went out of control, causing flood damage.”

    “Can you do it? Flood?”

    “That’s right. It doesn’t matter because the demi-humans who live in the wetlands are good swimmers, but as objects and houses drift away, dozens of Lamia and Naga eggs are said to have drifted away. We barely got the egg back.”

    Suddenly a heavy story came out.

    I just wanted to know what kind of person he was. Is it okay for someone other than yourself to reveal such dark secrets?

    “At that time, there was no Yunaira alliance, so there was no concept of laws that each subhuman should respect and follow. Since the opponent was Dragonia, Naga and the victims had no choice but to lower their tails and move on.”

    Who can criticize someone who has the power to cause natural disasters? No matter how much the territorial fight was over, it was inevitable that relationships with other Lamia would become awkward.

    Because they killed dozens of babies.

    In a place like this, a person’s connections with the villagers are like all of his or her connections. It is said that Julias lost everything that day.

    but···.

    “······Ain can’t live alone.”

    A person left alone cannot be considered a human being.

    It’s just a brainy intelligence. In this case, heukrang

    He said that his heart rots because he cannot receive or give.

    “That’s right. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t leave the village. Since that incident, Julia has continued to live alone in this cave. Even though 160 years have already passed. Even if I asked more than that, they wouldn’t explain it.”

    If something big like that happens, it’s right to leave the village on your own, whether you’re kicked out or not. Remaining in itself is an action that only a very shy person can do.

    If it’s general.

    In the morning, Lexia also called Julia the queen.

    It means the highest person in the village. Julia may have been a high-ranking person in this village even before she became Dragonia.

    Could it be that Julias remains in the village to atone? In the first place, this does not mean that shattered human relationships will return.

    Even if you are forgiven, you can never go back to the way things were.

    Julias’ lower body was much longer and thicker than that of other Lamia. I don’t know if this also applies to Lamia, but

    Reptiles grow larger until they die.

    If it is correct, it is also a measure that can be observed with the naked eye to see how long Julias has lived.

    Julia is probably a very elderly person in the village, and may even be the oldest person. Now that a generational change has occurred, people’s perception may have improved a lot, but they may be thinking of living in a cave until everyone involved dies.

    Most of the inference results are explained.

    Julias is said to have fallen into severe self-criticism.

    And these personal stories are not something that others should tell, and Juul is a person who is good at distinguishing between such issues.

    “Why are you telling me that?”

    “Because Julias is interested in you.”

    That’s what makes a useless alcohol disinfectant───.

    “Julias is the executioner who killed the most people in the world, and he is just a human being. It’s inevitable to have pity and love and hate for people and to miss them.”

    You heard it all outside the door.

    “The more people like that, the more walls there are in human relationships.”

    “I know. I also have walls. But I didn’t have a wall for you. Actually, should I say it’s nice to live in.”

    Are you kind to me? that is? I received a death threat?

    …If that’s the case with Juul, then that’s it. Is it because I am young and ignorant? Since I don’t know the person named Julias well, I can’t judge him.

    “Please do me a favor. Don’t tell Julia himself. Just be kind to Julia until you leave.”

    “······I will try my best.”

    Still, that is that and this is this.

    “But why are you eavesdropping?”

    Jules frowns.

    “What can I do about hearing?”

    I just love my ears.

    Although it is also my fault for not being alert to hearing that goes beyond perception.

    In 160 years──.

    “Hey!! There!”

    I was surprised when he came in, but now he sounds like I’m going to get used to it. Thanks to you, my thoughts were completely blown away. Now is the time to do what needs to be done.

    “Sorshay. I came to save you.”

    “Uh, huh…?”

    Sorshei’s big eyes widened.

    Soon tears flowed down my face.

    “···Me?”

    “Yes. I’m going to open the door, so please stay back.”

    Sorshei hesitates and retreats.

    Clap!

    Sorshei must have lost strength in his legs and fell backwards, hitting his butt.

    “Is that Hosott… Seolrang?”

    what the. Now even ghosts recognize Jules.

    “Yes. that’s right. This person is Seolrang.”

    “Ha. What are you doing here…”

    Jules sighed and looked at me.

    If you can’t see it, you won’t have any idea what I’m doing. I also have no idea what I’m doing.

    However, I think it has to be this way.

    When I open the door, the rusty hinges scream.

    Sorshei shed light pink tears mixed with blood incessantly, and slowly stretched out her trembling hands out of the cave.

    As if we were trying to confirm that our bars were really gone. If I left it as is, I felt like I was going to cry into the empty air, so I pulled on Sorshei’s hand, who couldn’t stand up.

    “Ahh…!”

    It comes as is.

    ······It’s light. Even considering that she is skinny and small, she is very light. However, it did not mean that there was no weight at all. This made it clear. Sorshei is not alive.

    My legs were shaking and I felt like it was difficult to walk.

    He supported Sorshay and held out a lamp to illuminate the front.

    “If you just take me to the village… I’ll explain everything…”

    Do you think you are still alive?

    It’s a repertoire of ghosts that are everywhere, but I never imagined it would happen in front of me. How should we make them aware of the fact that they are dead?

    you are dead If I say something like this, it’s obvious that they won’t believe me. Wouldn’t I go crazy again? ······It is right to turn it around and make yourself realize it.

    “I have a few questions I want to ask on my way out.”

    Sorshay was light enough that I could support it with one hand. It’s just a matter of words, but in reality it’s just a matter of posture. This attitude seems to give him strength.

    “What are you curious about about me?”

    “It’s nothing special. Just…”

    I was speechless and lightly coaxed my tightly closed lips.

    “Would you like to tell me a story about Sorchey?”
