Chapter 362
Brilliant blonde hair that seemed to have melted real gold was tied back in a ponytail, and the body was wrapped in tight-fitting clothes so that it wouldn’t float. ‘Elric’, wearing leather gloves and boots, glared at me with sharp eyes as if disintegrating.
“It’s boring. Don’t you have any common sense?”
‘…uh? The Golden Lord?’
Even Peru feels that way, so the homunculus must be the same. You will think it is no different from the real thing. Especially if it was a homunculus without Iji.
I said with a smile as if I had waited.
“Where is common sense in war? The important thing is what to do next.”
“…joy. I lived only with my mouth. Get out of the way everyone.”
As ‘Elric’ waved his hands roughly, the soldiers in front of him moved in perfect order to clear the way. Between the tightly packed soldiers, there was a road that could have passed two people. ‘Elric’ started walking ahead of the road with a majestic step. I soon followed.
In the meantime, Peru was stunned by this absurd situation.
‘…Nonsense. Taking intruders so easily? That golden sashimi?’
It’s not impossible. Who knows the true meaning of the Golden Palace? Even I, a mind reader, don’t know. There is a possibility that the Golden Lord will take me because he has his own thoughts.
However, no matter how you look at it, it is irrational. Saying they were preparing for war, they made a lot of weapons and sent armed homunculus to fight, while at the same time taking a possible enemy to the heart.
‘…no way?’
It seems that you noticed it belatedly, but it was already too late. Passing in front of the reviewing soldiers and reaching the inside of the camp, we have already…
“…Your Majesty?”
Because I was standing in front of the golden mirror.
The golden mirror was on the way to enter the large tent. Holding a large piece of paper in one’s bosom seemed to be carrying a map or something similar.
Hwang Keum-gyeong looked at the tent and our side in the middle of it, with a devastated face.
“Weren’t you in the tent a moment ago? no more than that Who is he?”
In the meantime, the golden bell hanging from his waist makes an urgent sound as if it represents his heart. ‘Elric’s gaze turned towards it for a moment.
‘The golden bell my father said. Is that person golden? Admiring Elric, the king of the golden kingdom?’
After reading Elric’s thoughts, I pulled my chin slightly to show affirmation. ‘Elric’ continued his thoughts while quickly observing the golden mirror and its surroundings.
‘Hmm~. Doesn’t it look too refreshing with a golden view? It doesn’t look like it. Even ‘me’ feels a bit creepy for some reason~.’
You also change into this and that. Isn’t that homophobic?
Of course, ‘Eric’ who brought me was Hilde. I explained Elric’s impression to Hilde and asked him to transform into that figure. Although she had never encountered the golden mirror herself, Hilde succeeded in transforming into Elric’s form after hearing my explanation.
Actually, Hilde complained about not being able to interpret the character while transforming, but what is it? All you have to do is blur the boundaries of the golden mirror.
Hilde concocted lines according to the current situation and the words of Hwanggeumgyeong.
“demo. say hello This is what you need to know.”
“I mean?”
“okay. That…….”
Hilde, who was trying to immerse herself in ‘Elic’, pointed at me and chose her words.
‘My father asked me to act like a teacher before his favorite student, but~. After all, you can’t follow it properly without seeing it yourself, right? There’s a limit to improvisation too~.’
Because you don’t have to be perfect. You just need to let your guard down for a moment. Until I pickpocketed that golden bell.
ruler. hurry. say anything! So that you can naturally approach the golden mirror!
Before long, Hilde, who had decided on the concept, leaned on my shoulder. He put his clasped hands on my shoulders and buried my arms in his chest. He tilted his head towards me and softened his expression.
oh wait
Hilde said that thought before I could stop her.
“The one who will become Jim’s husband.”
“…What?! What nonsense!”
What if I increase my vigilance? You’re staring at me like you’re going to kill me! Above all, if you say such foreign lines, they won’t doubt your identity!
clap clap clap. Behind him, soldiers in golden armor walked out. That sudden appearance at this timing. It’s not clear, but it seems to be a symbol of the golden mirror’s wrath. If I had to, I would think of cutting my stomach with that knife. Hilde. are you going to kill me
The golden mirror was glaring at me so fiercely that sparks flew in my eyes. He immediately fell to his knees and cried out.
“Please contact me on Sat! A vagrant who doesn’t know where he came from is a father! Isn’t that ridiculous!”
“Do you really think that makes no sense?”
‘Elric’ had a longing smile on his lips. He pushed me gently with his body and rubbed my cheeks as if proudly. With the golden mirror clenching his teeth, ‘Eric’ whispered like a devil with an expression that didn’t even know he was Elric anymore.
“You would have expected that a day like this would come someday.”
“yes?”
“That the only person worthy of Jim, the noblest in this country, is a man of equal nobleness. But what kind of man in the world would suit this body?”
Whoa. Is it like that? Now I know what Hilde is thinking.
‘In other words, being obsessive means that you are worried about being taken away. How to remember nightmares better than sweet dreams! Let’s act out the most terrible situation that Hwanggeumgyeong thinks!’
It’s a different kind of perfectionism. Rather than making it clumsy, I will do a perfect performance even if it goes against the direction I want.
Kut. I didn’t expect this. Art is difficult. Shall we match the kungjjak? Like a blonde bully, she blatantly kneaded Elric’s waist and acted like Hilde.
“really. Aren’t you being too blatant in front of your disciples? Your Majesty is also mischievous.”
“Ahhh… should I do only you?”
The moaning ‘Elric’ looked like a girl in love.
No, don’t overdo it. It’s not even a bullshit that’s teasing. I think I’m going to die from the real golden mirror. I!
But thanks to you, I got rid of my doubts. Even though the golden mirror hates me now, it doesn’t doubt Hilde. Okay, if you go a little closer like this…
“…Golden World. She is fake!”
However, even if you don’t know the golden sutra, it doesn’t work for Peru. Peru had already gone through Hilde’s ability to transform.
“What…?”
“…don’t be fooled! She is a stranger transformed into a golden sashimi! The real golden sashimi doesn’t talk like that!”
Peru offered sincere advice to the Golden Jing. Only then did Golden Kyung look at Hilde with suspicion. Now, the difference is clearly visible.
It’s because the golden mirror knows everything to the extent that it can ‘pension’ Elric.
The illusion is broken. no it is overwritten
His elixir doesn’t say that.
His elixir doesn’t act like that.
His elixir does not rejoice in the arms of another man. so that’s fake
There was a clicking sound, like something breaking. At the same time, the tent next to the golden mirror opened wide, and the real Elric… I don’t know if I can call it real, but his Elric jumped out anyway.
“demo! That’s not a burden! It is a fake disguised as Jim!”
However… the golden mirror’s eyes do not depart from ‘Eric’.
Maybe the golden mirror knew. That the world around him is a lie and the world that does not come true as he wishes is real. That’s why I couldn’t take my eyes off ‘Elric’ when I saw it for the first time and didn’t allow the real Elric to appear.
It seems that Hilde’s Elric acting was just as shocking. To the point where the golden mirror jumped out of the world for a while.
So… just for a moment. thought was read.
“You bastard! also…!”
Hwang Geum-gyeong, who had come to his senses, tried to stand up, but hesitated. A thin, fragile force is pulling him.
9 of Spades. Tree of Origin. The demon’s idol and the power of a druid obtained after seeing Nevida. The vine that grew from the card as a seed grabbed hold of the golden mirror for an instant. It was cut off quickly, but I bought time. During that moment, Hilde pushed away the soldiers of the Golden Circle and opened a path.
One step towards deception. One step with earth magic. One step by acting with Hilde. And a step into the tree vine.
One by one, if you collect and collect it, it will reach the Golden Sutra. Thanks to all sorts of means, I eventually reached the golden mirror, and in my hand… a
golden bell with a clear sound was resonating with me.
It was all for the gold country.
It was all for Your Majesty.
Everyone… It was for that beautiful smile that the iron-blooded king gave awkwardly.
But how did this happen?
He wore a knife around his neck and shackled his feet. The heavy iron ball hanging from the tip of the knife was a pain in itself. The arm holding the ball seemed to fall off, but I couldn’t let it go. If he did, the weight of tearing off his arm would shift to his neck.
A sharp needle stabs you in the back. The body reacts before the pain. Even in the midst of exhaustion, Demo took a step to avoid the pain. Then, a beat later, the thorn chased after Demo and stabbed him again.
Demo walked barefoot in the land of the forbidden country, hanging tools that were only meant to give pain and despair to humans.
I heard swear words. stones flew They cursed and attacked, brandishing daggers and attacking. The soldiers escorting him watched and watched as they pretended to block him, and the wounds gradually increased, making Demo a living corpse.
It’s a while to cry out in pain. He too, after five hours, was now unable to distinguish him from the pain. Maybe he has been with pain since he was born.
I want to be comfortable. I want to be free from all this pain. I’d rather die and be free.
But Demo can’t even turn a blind eye to it.
It was because he was the one who brought the golden country to this point.
They say money can’t buy happiness, but you can’t be happy without money. In order to be happy, you need a little bit of space. Money is the only means to create that composure in the scene of intense life.
Demo made gold for a country where everyone is happy. to make the whole country happy.
It should be.
As far as he knew, that was correct.
Demo looked around with dim eyes. collapsed wall. burning house. Screams and cries are pouring out everywhere. An old farmer with an old hoe is working hard on a field that was once overturned by the value of gold. However, the soil soaked in iron poison has already reached its end, and even if you carefully cultivate it, it does not respond.
The beggars on the street were no better compared to the demo. He held out an empty bowl with a cracked neck and begged for mercy. The bowl was made of gold, but it did not promise a single meal. A grain of rice would be more precious than a piece of gold.
Is the mother weeping while holding the corpse of her dead child loving it as an existence that was once her child or as food for several meals?
golden poverty. The most terrible thing in the history of the kingdom had happened. The bigger problem is that I can’t even come up with a solution.
There is no future. The past has also been erased. After making a contract with the devil, he sold eternity in exchange for a brilliant moment.
The gold country has become a hell made of gold.
And what created this hell… the alchemy that creates gold.
If he hadn’t invented alchemy. A tragedy like this would never have happened. The bitter truth that his great discovery was the knowledge of the devil made even his heart ache.
puck.
Something lodged itself in Demo’s temple. My head is spinning for a moment. It doesn’t hurt. The body, already exhausted, accepted even the pain chronically.
Demo looked unfocused at the object that had hit him. Although it is quite small compared to its weight, the brilliantly sparkling light inflates its value to the fullest.
It is golden. It was difficult to contain the light with any other name, so the golden coin named after its color rolled across the dirt floor.
A skin-to-bone woman approached him and shouted at him, who was staring at him in despair.
“It’s because of you…! If only it weren’t for you!”
Was the gold so unnecessary? They couldn’t even eat a meal at that starving woman and were thrown instead of stones. Even more so, it’s not very useful for throwing it at someone. It would have been more painful if it had been an angular stone.
Gold that cannot be eaten or used. I was once blinded by that light… but now it’s nothing more than trash that eats away at the ground.
If so, what has the man who made gold made so far? Was he making everyone poor instead of making everyone rich?
