The Player Hides His Past

Episode 536 Each person’s weight (2)

What made you feel uncomfortable?

“It started when I returned from the abandoned land.”

Abandoned land China.

So far, Talim and the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church have been targeting cracks that appear in China. The reason was simple. This was because it was judged that it did not go against the doctrine of the Goddess Church.

however.

“It was a mistake.”

It was overlooked.

The internal circumstances of the Holy Land Muon have changed from the past. Because a true saint who can hear the voice of a goddess with divine power surpassing that of the Holy Knight leader herself has returned.

Kiko’s eyes twitched.

“Are you saying that Saint Freiza changed her mind…?”

Talim shook his head.

“well. “You could call it a change of heart.”

Nasrow looks dumbfounded.

“Isn’t this a definite change of heart? Let’s think about the reason why the Goddess Church has been able to survive until now. We are now self-sufficient, but if there had not been Chief Lee’s support at Muon in the early days…”

“What you said is not wrong.”

Talim nodded.

“Saint Freiza also clearly acknowledged that point. Nevertheless, his belief did not waver.”

“You mean your faith wasn’t shaken? Could it be that from the beginning…?”

“I guess it’s because I have a firm belief.”

The saint’s faith.

Talim revealed the truth about the Goddess Church.

“Senior Mage Nasrow is correct in his guess. Saint Freyja received a revelation from the goddess to save the Arcana continent from the ‘infinitely deep darkness.’”

“…!!”

Kiko’s pupils shook.

Infinitely deep darkness.

Because that was one of Chief Lee’s many nicknames.

It was so absurd that I was now laughing out loud.

“Do you know, Director Talim Ever? You step into the ivory tower of truth called the Magic Tower, where those who do not believe in the existence of God gather. “You are insulting our Chief Wizard.”

Talim humbly nodded and responded to Nasrow’s words.

“I am aware of it. but.”

“But what do you mean?”

“That’s why I came to the Magic Tower to ask for help.”

“…?”

Nasrow was briefly furious.

‘Call for help…? Oh, I see!’

He belatedly remembered why Talim had come to the Magic Tower on his own.

Talim had made his goals clear from the beginning.

Nasrow asked, wondering if it could be possible.

“So… is that what I think?”

“Maybe so.”

“I really want to live a long life and see it.”

Even after reorganizing it, I couldn’t stop laughing.

“Infighting within the Goddess Church.”

Yes.

The Goddess Church was split into two. The forces that follow Saint Freiza and the forces that follow Talim, the leader of the Holy Knights. The evidence was clear. Nasrow was a very suspicious man.

“That makes me even more unbelievable, Director Talim.”

“I will answer honestly so that you can dispel any doubts.”

“I’m glad to hear this. If so, let me ask you honestly. Why are you rebelling against the words of the goddess? “I think that if you are a paladin who serves the goddess, you must unconditionally obey the goddess’s will.”

Talim laughed softly.

“It’s rebellion. I once thought so too.’

Until I met Chief Lee.

-“I don’t believe in God.”

-“Because there is no clear evidence that it exists.”

-“But there is also no clear evidence that God does not exist.”

That cold voice sounded like that to Talim.

– Stick to your beliefs, not others.

Talim continued speaking with a stern expression.

“Because my goddess didn’t say so.”

Tuk.

Talim placed a hand on the chest of his plate armor. Of course, the goddess’s voice, which only saints can hear, could not be heard.

But Talim did not waver.

“Even if the goddess of sainthood said so.”

The goddess I serve would not say that the devotion of me and the paladins who helped the most marginalized in this world was wrong. If you say the sacrifice was wrong.

Because that would no longer be the goddess I serve.

“My pride never wavered.”

“Hmm.”

“That unwavering pride speaks for itself.”

Talim Ever.

He believes in himself.

To prove pride.

Following China, for ‘the most marginalized in the world.’

He had come to visit the Magic Tower.

“To protect the ‘infinitely deep darkness’ from the Goddess Church.”

“…!!”

Nasrow and Kiko.

The two seniors exchanged a look.

Then he nodded and said.

“The story that follows is not something I can dare to share in my shabby office. “Please follow me, Talim Holy Knight Commander, and Senior Mage Kiko.”

Goooooh.

Eventually, a portal appeared in the office.

Where is the portal headed?

Kiko whispered to Talim, who was thinking.

“After all, in order to get to the top floor, you have to climb the stairs of the Magic Tower without stopping…! Unlike before, there are more eyes looking at the Magic Tower. Please understand.”

Suddenly it’s the top floor.

why?

Nasrow explains to Talim, who is thinking about it.

“You can be happy, Talim Holy Knight Commander. Two senior wizards decided that your claim was reasonable. “With the authority of seniority, I will guide you to our tower owner.”

Shrugging his shoulders.

.

.

.

Marcelo looked at the red flower.

In order to maintain a state in case any clues remain.

Now that the magic of taxidermy has been revealed.

The flowers gave off no scent.

“It is a flower that no one knows its name or the language of the flower…”

Even the Cleodia skilled wizard, who was thought to have a wealth of knowledge about plants as he studied elixirs in the books of the Emerald Hall, could not reveal the identity of the red flower.

‘But if it’s an adventurer’s vision.’

perhaps.

We will be able to reveal the identity of this red flower once and for all.

But Marcelo was in no hurry.

The view seen from the top of the Crystal Hall tower.

‘Just the fact that Sir’s life was limited….’

I followed Sir wholeheartedly.

The adventurers were greatly shocked.

At this point, less than a few days had passed since then.

Simply to find out the identity of the red flower. When I heard from trusted adventurers that Sir’s whereabouts were unknown. I couldn’t imagine the shock they would be in.

Marcelo looked at his trembling fingers.

“Even I still have a hard time accepting it.”

Hold.

But Marcelo clenched his fists and said he would not give up. There is give and take in everything. Yes, now was the time to repay the favor I received from Sir.

“I knew it early, sir.”

You bring me to the Simuard family.

That you saved me from the curse of a terminal illness.

So Marcelo had no intention of giving up.

‘I will go to the Kingdom of Yusra.’

The ancient kingdom of Yusra.

If it is a land where the knowledge of the ancient Arcana continent resides.

Maybe there is someone who knows about this flower.

Additionally, the Kingdom of Yusra has an Explorers’ League.

‘They say explorers have information that hasn’t been revealed to the world.’

It was a time when Marcelo was about to head straight to the Kingdom of Yusra.

Susssseu.

Words appeared on the parchment.

Marcelo’s eyes sank as he looked at the words.

“…Talim Ever, leader of the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church.”

[Hidden Quest: Festival in Hell Village]

Since the living have entered hell, a festival has been held for the vengeful spirits. From a small village to the royal palace of hell. Everyone will attend the grand reception, living, breathing person. Please do not submit to hell.

-Survive the festival in Hell Village. (In progress)

●Become a tagger and engage in a game of tag. (In progress)

Hidden quest.

‘Well, hell is a hidden place.’

It’s no wonder it comes to mind.

So, the reason I was surprised by the quest window was because of a different sentence.

From a small village to the royal palace of hell…?

‘How many more things like this do we have to overcome?’

Cluck cluck.

A creepy laugh.

A bizarrely exaggerated dance.

A colorful festival.

The murderous intent hidden behind it.

I looked at the ghosts rushing towards me.

Is there anything different from the ghosts I encountered before entering the gate?

Still, this one had a human form.

of course.

‘It doesn’t have a face, though.’

To put it simply, it resembles an egg ghost.

Except for the mouth that constantly spits out laughter.

There was nothing special about his face.

‘That’s not the point.’

But the appearance was actually nice.

As I said, I danced and hid my murderous intent in the festive atmosphere.

Those coming.

Is it thanks to that?

“What are they doing?”

“Maybe we should dance together haha.”

Even Elsidore and Kinver, who are probably more sensitive to murderous intentions than anyone else, seem to have noticed nothing special. The only person looking at me at this moment was Lorenzk.

“Are you okay, Chief?”

Is it possible to guess because you know about hell?

‘Thank you for asking that, but…’

I couldn’t answer right away that it was okay.

Of course, after becoming a tagger.

The messages were constantly being updated.

[Sin makes your body heavy.]

[Sin makes your body heavy.]

[Sin makes your body heavy.]….

The Cloudy family is truly amazing…!

‘Experiences like this are rare.’

Even the [Blessing of the First World Tree] effect could not offset all status ailments. This probably means that the weight of the original sin accumulated by the Cloudy family is enormous.

The good news is that

“You have nothing to worry about.”

Since I’m the only one playing tag, there’s no need to worry about causing trouble. That’s probably why Elsidore and Kinver don’t notice the killing intent.

‘Helltown is only targeting me Cloudy.’

Because the system message that does not lie also said so. I checked the quest window again. I checked the three options given to me.

●Become a tagger and play tag. (In progress)

1. Kill all participants. (Optional)

2. Die. (Optional)

3. Survive and cut off the tail. (Optional)

Let’s put one thing aside for now.

It goes without saying.

I, Ho-yeol Lee, have no intention of dying a violent death in hell.

If so, the options are naturally narrowed down to two.

‘…honestly.’

What I wanted to choose was just an option that was a little easier. But didn’t we, Grandfell, declare this even before opening the gate?

“If you have mouths, you can speak.”

As the head of the Cloudy family.

I will not avoid the original sin of the Cloudy family, but will face it…! In that case, it would be impossible to kill those vengeful spirits who might know about the family’s original sin.

“But there is a procedure for everything.”

I resigned myself and continued speaking.

“I will listen to it after this festival is over.”

Yes.

What Granfell and I chose was to ‘cut off the tail’. Of course, we should start exploring what the tail is from now on. Sreung. I raised my eyebrows and warned.

To allies, not vengeful spirits.

“Keep your distance from me.”

“How come?”

“It’s not for you to get caught up in it.”

Yes, getting caught up in the Cloudy family’s time of atonement.

I may have a significant stake in the Cloudy family.

Because Lee Ho-yeol alone is enough.

Again.

I said that and headed towards Hell Village.

‘My body is heavy.’

The physical condition was not perfect.

‘…No, it’s close to the worst.’

To put it simply, the people of the Cloudy family suffer from a debuff in hell that cannot be offset even by the morale buff called [Blessing of the First World Tree].

But I had magic power. I manifested magical power and assisted with the movements that had become heavy due to the crime. I’m sure you’ve become more skilled than you worry about it. There was no inconvenience in maintaining the manifestation.

the problem is.

…Suddenly.

Although this place was hell.

It was unfamiliar swordsmanship.

Although it was an unfamiliar sword technique that I had never seen before.

It was sharp enough to clearly feel that it had reached its peak.

…squeezing.

Even if it was in good condition, the sword was so fast that it would have grazed it.

Then it wouldn’t be strange to get cut on the side.

But I wasn’t embarrassed.

Well, in hell, all that’s left is time.

Just the first gateway.

Even in the remote corners of hell, there are people with sword skills like that.

Even after getting cut in the side by someone like that.

also.

『Granfell’s talent was not limited to one thing.

A clear mind is essential.

His innate magical talent was such that he could imitate most types of magic just by seeing them. Furthermore, the potential of the body is comparable to that.

There was a good reason why Granfell was chosen as the successor to the family at the age of only 7.』

In addition to Granfell’s talent for detecting the extreme swordsmanship of others with just one look, he structured such swordsmanship in reverse order. Despite my persistence in looking back.

okay.

‘I said it with my mouth and I had to realize what I said.’

Life cannot be reversed.

I will overcome the limitations of reversal magic.

therefore.

“Are you saying you want to express it through actions rather than words?”

Now, at least this hurt.

“I understand.”

This means that it can be ‘reversed’ as much as you want.
