Omniscient First-Person’s Viewpoint - Chapter 228
EP.228 Now I’m safe.
When I opened the lid of the black coffin and came out, it was a land full of peace.
It seemed like I was staying for a while in a closet leading to another world that often appears in fairy tales. Just a moment ago, after the bloody chase, I was groaning in a small space, but when I came out, the turbulent air disappeared and only a peaceful and calm wind blew.
Convinced that I was safe, I shouted loudly.
“great! We are safe!”
Is this the taste of peace? It’s sweet. It feels good that even the air seems to welcome me.
Unlike the south, where forests and trees are lush, the north is a land of wilderness and highlands. Well, the territory of the military is not very wide, so there is no dramatic change even if it rises this much.
Still, there are points where things are clearly different. The continuously changing climate and vegetation also change completely from the bottomless pit plain. Like a border that separates countries with a single line as a boundary, if you cross the plain of the abyss, desolate artificial grasslands and plains unfold.
A country that doesn’t even look like a country.
Countries that were once countries of alchemy but were torn apart because of alchemy.
It’s rather a good land for a wanderer like me to squeeze into as the country of Dan is torn to pieces.
“If we came this far, the military might not be able to come after us. Even if you notice the trick later and somehow chase after it, by then we will have already run away. If you follow the meta conveyor belt a little further from here, you will come to the northeastern stopover, and if you escape to the nations through the abyss above it… Joe!”
I am thrilled Is there anyone other than me who has evaded the military pursuit for so long? It’s something that will go down in the history of the military.
Escape from the military. With this history, I won’t be hit at the door even if I go somewhere else.
The regressor who crawled out of the coffin after me also stretched greatly.
“cadet. It’s obsessive. What the hell are these guys doing? I’m on my way quietly, but he’s suddenly chasing me.”
“Mr. Shay, I think that would be unfair to the military. Mr. Shay was hurt by the uproar in the capital, but he didn’t go quietly.”
“What? Better than you, Mr. Hameln’s Pied Piper? If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have followed you like a hound!”
“What did I do? I’ve been quietly reclusive, right? There were no warnings until you arrived. In comparison, what about Mr. Shay? Did you touch the capital headquarters? You know that’s another word for war, right?”
“You played the flute!”
“Wheelly, Whilly. Having said that, it sounds like a wholesome person engaged in art. Anyway, it can be said that I did not commit any crime in Amittengrad. No matter how you think about it, it’s not my problem.”
“So are we! Until I met you, the military was actively avoiding engagement! Then why did the military lead the entire army and follow us?”
how do i know that
Of course, I tend to gather information by brute force mind reading. My mind-reading skill allows me to read all the memories of a fairy tale with a person for a while.
But we still don’t know why the military is behaving like this. Because the military is not a person.
The two Yukjangseong Jeolchang and Majang who tried to catch us.
Jeolchang wondered why the order had suddenly changed, but he just let it go. He enjoys fighting the strong. As I get older, my reckless behavior has decreased a little, but if an order comes down to me, there is no reason not to follow it.
Majang is faithful to the orders of the military. Make up for the lack of talent with systems and resources. It is an example of accurately realizing the ideal of the military nation, and it is a benefactor to the majang who almost died of old age as a mediocre wizard. The Military State and the Majang are mutually affirmative.
And the other generals and soldiers simply followed orders. So, I don’t know the true intention of the military.
no in the first place. Is there any intention in this country? I don’t know either.
The regressor called Historia, the person closest to the military here.
“Musketeers! You should know that you are a succulent. For whom did the military pursue us? Is it me or a boy?”
“I don’t know either.”
Historia was smoking magic weed to commemorate being out for the first time in a while. The regressor, who had been expecting a clear answer, frowned at the smoker who shamelessly demanded a fire even while tied up.
“You should know! You are the sex leader!”
“It is a prejudice to say that you need to know everything about growth. I’m only a general in words, but I’m still only a director.”
“You… Whoa, yes. Then why are you following us?”
“Has there ever been a soldier questioning the reason for an order?”
“No, though! There must be a reason why you pursued us most passionately…! Oh right.”
‘Didn’t you say that you have lingering feelings for your ex-lover and that you have something to ask about Hameln? That’s why I followed you…?’
The regressor glanced at me and nodded with a sigh. I don’t know if it’s fantasy or naive to understand all of Historia’s actions with just one word from her former lover.
In the end, I couldn’t get a clear answer, so I grumbled as if I was dissatisfied.
“Doesn’t this country even tell its soldiers why they fight?”
Historia showed interest in the regressor’s words.
“That’s a strange point of view. If I can understand the reason, I can fight, but if I don’t, should I rebel?” ”
That’s not true! Someone’s not going to give orders! If you, the one who followed us directly, at the Six Walls, don’t know, then who the hell knows?”
“Well, of course the command will know.”
“Command?”
As soon as the story of the headquarters came out, a disgusted expression appeared on the regressor’s face. Rather than feeling hopeless, it is a feeling of embarrassment about a problem that has not been completely resolved. It was the unpleasant feeling you would feel when you found a little bit left in the corner after cleaning.
Hey, haven’t you ever said that you ruined the military? What’s your expression when you’ve won against Command?
‘Until now, I’ve watched and destroyed quite a few armies… but I’ve never seen the headquarters in person. When their army perishes, they disappear without a trace. As if it didn’t exist in the first place.’
Regressor! You didn’t know the identity of the headquarters while fighting with the military during the 13th round?! You child…!
thank god. I thought I was the only one who didn’t know
I have been reading the thoughts of countless people while living in the military for nearly 25 years. Whether it was a soldier, an instructor, or a remnant of the kingdom, he read the thoughts at random. It wasn’t something I was specifically aiming for, but I’m confident that I know a lot because my ability is my ability.
Even I don’t know what the headquarters is or what its true identity is.
As a mind reader, what I mean by ‘I don’t know’ is that I really don’t know anything about it.
Amittengrad. It is the largest and most populated city in the county. While resident there, I have never encountered anyone who belonged to the command or had contact with them. It seems that the high-ranking people in the headquarters do not show their faces on the street.
…Thanks to a signal soldier I recently met, I got a small clue… Even the signal soldier who communicates directly is just an arm and a leg of the headquarters, so I won.
‘Even the musketeers won’t know the identity of the headquarters. If I had known, I would have teased it in the last episode. Still, I had to go down. It’s the first time I’ve been as close to a musketeer as I am now, so let’s take a look.’
okay. Even the regressor who went back in time to dig up all the secrets of the world and collect treasures doesn’t know, so how can I, a mediocre mind reader, know?
While I nodded to myself in satisfaction, the regressor decided to make the most of this opportunity. The regressor asked openly.
“Does that thing you guys refer to as headquarters actually exist?”
Contrary to the regressor’s worries, Historia answered meekly.
“That’s right. Orders come down through the signalman.”
“So, is it real? It’s a signalman who delivers orders, but no one has ever seen the headquarters in person.“ However, easy-to-obtain
things had little value. Even Historia didn’t know about the headquarters’ identity as much as I did. .
” Anew. It’s been a while since I became an adult, but most of you probably don’t even know my face yet. Who will see my face and salute me I’m saluting the star on my chest.”
Historia stretched out her chest as if showing off her rank badge on her chest. An outline stood out from between the tight cloth silk.
However, Historia forgot something for a moment. Her uniform was It’s that you’re running to the other side as bait to catch the military.
Hey, I can’t live. I’m still not good at it. At times like this, you have to help to be a true friend
? Let me tell you, these are manners these days.
I saluted Historia’s chest,
“Loyalty.”
My nonverbal expression effectively served its duty. Historia narrowed her brows and lowered her gaze.
Then Historia noticed that she was wearing a thin shirt. I remembered that I was only wearing one. That it was tied with the legendary thread called Cheonjamsa.
Historia blushed for a moment, grabbed the magic herb, and kicked me out of the blue. It was a leg that sprang up without any preliminary movement, but with great speed and accuracy, it hit my thighs. Price said,
“Evil, evil! Say it, say it! Not your feet!”
“…”
“Ouch! Who is the one who didn’t tie the prisoner’s feet! Don’t you know that if you’re on the level of a sex commander, your whole body is a weapon?!”
Damn, my body staggers. Even if I try to escape somehow, I try to suppress it, but my legs draw a bizarre trajectory and persistently aim for my thighs
. He looked at me with a happy expression.
“Huh. What does it mean to be abandoned and tossed around? It’s too late to regret it It’s too much for a guy like you.”
“Can you please stop clearing the unfounded ex-girlfriend filter in your head?! And you tied this knot too! I’m going to tie it tightly, but I’m going to have a ‘ Huh? Is it too strong?’ I left the legs unattended because I wanted to!”
‘Huh? How to do that?’
“What, what what! This level of restraint is not enough against the growth rate!”
“Yes! not enough! Now I’m proving it with my body! Ouch!”
In any case, it turned out that Historia didn’t know much about the headquarters either. The regressor grumbled in disappointment
. Why is no one suspicious?”
“Well, maybe it’s because you don’t know the identity, so you can’t doubt it?”
“If you don’t know the identity, you’re more suspicious!
” He is a person who can turn the country upside down if he is wrong, so he is at eye level. For ordinary people, the military and headquarters are too big a concept.
” I made it.’ Says ‘the command has issued an order’ and follows and sees it first. That said, if
you are a tyrant wielding absolute power… that’s not the case.
I wield it and instill fear in people.
No one but me knows what’s inside people’s hearts, so I try to escape from the evil heart of a violent and capricious tyrant. The grime and oil flowed from the upper water permeate downward and gradually pollute the entire water.
However, the headquarters is invisible.
Only through the communication soldier, even that, not through the communication soldier himself, but through the communication magic golem. The signalmen, who are only captains, are not violent, have no power to exert, no power to enjoy, and
even as I recently learned this… They are windowless rooms, deprived of everything worldly, and in a dry, monotonous voice call to command. give the order of Beyond integrity and innocence, it is the life of a decisive messenger.
Officers hate the signalman who gives clear orders to low-ranking subjects, but even that doesn’t last long. Even the communications soldier appears only in the form of a golem, and it is very difficult to hate non-humans.
If even the communications soldier and the golem were like that, the headquarters would be awful.
“The more the opponent deviate from the scope of one’s common sense, the bigger, more powerful, and more complex the person can see, the different emotions they feel. Ordinary people call and worship the existence beyond their eyesight as a god. Even if a god takes lives and destroys property, They’re sorry, but not angry. Shay-san doesn’t even have the heart to attack when he sees a storm or lightning, doesn’t he?”
“huh?”
‘no? Have you ever caught a thunderbolt?’
Oh right. That was the worst regressor ever, blaspheming God. I can’t bring common sense to that side.
A big man who has the power to fight against the military, but can sincerely treat a country as an ‘enemy’.
big shot right? Isn’t that just childish?
what does it matter Even if you’re childish, if you’re strong, you’ll become a giant. If something doesn’t go well, think again, maybe it’s a lack of strength.
“So, for ordinary people, the military is like that kind of natural disaster. Officers, at most, are only dissatisfied with the signalman, and they don’t blame the command. People can only hate what they see… ”
Wait a minute. I reflected on what I said for a moment.
God. And religion.
There is no god in the military. Seonghwangcheong was rejected and Jimo Shinto came to this land as a civil engineering company. Other folk beliefs have been reduced to demons or fairies.” It’s been a long time.
Then… the religion of this country…
The moment I was about to deepen my thoughts, the grumbling of the regressor interrupted my thoughts
. It’s a well-known location. I don’t know the headquarters, I don’t know about Hameln. What the heck do you know?”
One word the regressor grumbled inadvertently hit Historia right
in the middle. It was the same regressor and the same words and actions. Law. Historia didn’t put up with it.
“Then, what should I do?”
“Huh?
” Shall we grab those poor guys by the collar, drag them out, and threaten them into spewing out the truth? Or, after overthrowing the headquarters like a rat. Are we going to find out the truth while killing everyone?”
“Why, why are you angry…?“
I ask the angry person why he is angry. I hoped surprising.
“Do you think everyone can just walk away like you and Huey?! I can’t! It’s strange to leave without any regrets! How can you throw away all the memories and ties you’ve had until now… and leave? ”
He was talking to a regressor, but it sounded like he was talking to me. If it’s the regressor’s fault, the only thing he can do is provoke him until the bottom of his emotions is revealed.
That’s a lot.
Having poured out all her emotions on the pathetic regressor, Historia adjusted the zero point of her emotions again. Her sunken eyes turned to me.
“I knew you and a few people were alive! But, I knew, but I didn’t say it. When someone asked, I said they were all dead. I tried to save them, but there were only corpses. I repeated like a parrot that no one was alive! I held tight and dutifully followed the instructions given to me…! I had to pay for the truth of my testimony, albeit belatedly!”
Thanks to her classmates disappearing in a similar way to suicide, she went up to the military academy in isolation and silently followed the orders of the military. Although she was talented, she was called the ‘daughter of the military’ and became a role model for all soldiers because of her unsparing operation.
However, Historia wasn’t a very sincere guy even in middle school. He was a typical rogue genius who behaved like he was proud, ignored other kids, and skipped classes. The sincere model student was on my side.
That’s why she became an exemplary general…
“I thought someone would come find me when things calmed down…! In case they didn’t know my whereabouts, I tried my best to be recognized as a general! There’s not even a bit of it…! The one who comes to find me is…!”
‘Continue… waiting… right after meeting again, this idiot keeps running away and shaking off…!’
Now it’s to the point where Historia doesn’t know if she’s biting her magic weed or biting her lip. The ropes bound her arms, but her emotions continued to flow unbridled.
I scratched my chin and got that gaze.
“…Actually, I’ve been busy, too. For some reason, I think I’ve become a very bad person.”
“That’s right. You will be punished.”
The regressor nodded slyly and added a hint of chu-im-sae.
