“It's better than I thought. ”

The colony formed itself all the time.

Now he was in Africa, which is far from Korea. The world mixed with Abyss doesn't change everything. This place is still full of poaching. Not as much as the corpse of a monster, but the elephant's ivory or the beast's hide is still in demand.

“War is rare. Because human greed is what it is. ”

More than half of the Abyss Monarch disappeared.

That means half the world's hunters have lost their power. The hunters, who became ordinary men, entered Abyss looking for power again and made a new contract. But I couldn't fully recover the power I had.

His weakness led him to take out the weapons of the Old Age that were thrown into the warehouse as the Hunter era unfolded.

It is no wonder that poor countries are poorer in security than developed countries. This is not only poaching, it is a hotbed of various crimes. Crime is out of control, public authority is corrupt.

[Aren't you lonely?]

Baek Hyun asked. Seo Ming shook his head. This type of volunteer work was organized by many people, but not by the colony. I had no choice. What he did was generally different from volunteering. But the essence will not be different. The colonists turned their heads and looked back. A small indigenous tribal village was seen.

“I'm not lonely. ”

Naturally, the West doesn't know their language. Dialogue uses artifacts. It wasn't about talking to them that they didn't feel lonely. Seo Ming laughed. I hear a roar from afar. The colony turned its head again. Beyond the Red Wilderness, the dust is swelling.

“Hyun.”

I haven't even told her yet, but she was ticklish. I looked up for nothing. The sun was so damn itchy.

“Thank you.”

For now, I said, what? Immediately, Banmun returned from the phone. I didn't listen. Seong-colon quickly hung up. I felt comfortable being on the phone.

Thank you.

I meant it.It wasn't the first time that I actually said thank you. I've already said thank you a few times. But thanksgiving was really strange, but it did not adapt. Rather, it becomes unfamiliar every time it is done.

No matter how much, he knows that it is not enough. Seo Ming looked sideways.

“I hate him. ”

The murmuring voice belonged to a child. Next to him, a little tall girl was squirming her lips. Among the monarchs, Malo of Tempest, who was once the subject of a sergeant, was the girl. After losing her rapidity by Baek Hyun, she also lost most of the enormous power she had.

I had no choice. Tempest's power was beyond her own control, and the spirits of Tempest were created for the purpose of relieving it. In order for Tempest to exist without recklessly, he had to pull out his abundant power.

A miracle. ’

Everything is a miracle.

It is also true that Seongcolony and Tempest met again like this. It was also the Tempest that had to be extinguished that survived. All of that was a miracle to each other. And it was Baek Hyun who caused the miracle.

“Don't hate it too much. He's my friend.”

“I'm reluctant. I don't want to think about that feeling again. ”

Tempest murmurs. The memory of being swallowed by chaos is vivid. I thought I'd never open my eyes again. I thought I'd die like this... and disappear.

But I was able to open my eyes again. When I opened my eyes inside the Perforated City. When he tore his own cocoon out. The first thing Tempest saw was the face of the colony that shed tears.

“... a little gratitude. ”

“Why don't you tell him yourself? ”

“I don't like it.”

Tempest replies. Seocolony chuckles Tempest's head with a fluffy smile. God, God... Seong-colony took out the staff and raised it. If it is God who causes miracles, Baek Hyun will be God. But I didn't like my faith. God is worrying about two women. What kind of god is that?

‘... by the way. I think the Greek myth also revealed a woman. ’

In this case, it's not Baek Hyun's side. Seo Ming walked with Tempest thinking nonsense.

The mobs have seen it. They're poachers and robbers. I stepped up and came here. They're not right, so we have to make it right. It was not such a grand reason. After all, it's just self-satisfaction. Seong-colony is not Pin, Margot's disciple. You don't have to bear the sin Finn committed. Tempest, who had finally run aground, wiped out one country, but he committed the sin. There is no reason for Seo Min-sik to carry it.

Even so, I couldn't forget it. The memories that come to mind are as disturbing as the spikes that protrude, and sometimes poke at the delicacy. I don't like it, so it's self-satisfying. I couldn't do what I had already done, the irreversible past. That's why I do this. As Baek Hyun said, I can't shake my head, so I'm just volunteering and working hard.

“You're so nice. ”

Tempest murmurs. Even if it's different, that goodwill is the same as Finn. Tempest turns his head and looks at Seo Ming. Seo Ming lifted his cane while smiling. Tempest became unstoppable, and all the hunters who had contracted her lost their strength.

But colonialism is an exception. He was no longer a hunter, nor an apostle of Tempest. With Finn's memory, he knows what real magic is. I couldn't handle spirits like before, but it didn't matter. Next to him was Tempest, who was raised from the rapids to Homunkulus.

“I don't like being nice. I think I only see the loss. ”

“If you don't like it, you can get worse. ”

“That's not what I'm doing. ”

Seo Ming laughed bitterly. Tempest, who was staring at the smile, laughed. She squeaks her shoulders as she kicks. The colonists turned their heads, coughing in vain.

“... that's why you're nice. ”

When I first saw you.

I didn't recognize it right at that moment. Humans, too many, were just one of the weary. But Tempest could not forget the encounter. When Seo Min-sik first came to Abyss. When all the human beings were doing their tutorials.

At that time, the colony could not be said to excel even in empty words. Freezes humans against monsters for the first time in their lives. I don't even fight well. The colony was no different than any other human being. But I have to save a friend. I mumbled and jumped with my mind. I tried to kill the monster by using evil while my limbs were being torn. Quite a number of monarchs were encouraged to sign a contract with Seongcolon after the reading.

Tempest was also one of them. Of the many contracts he had recommended to himself, Seo Ming chose Tempest. That's how I met him. Tempest found out Seolmin. I found out why he was so desperate. A friend who became a plant man. It takes a lot of money to keep a life. You just ignore it, and you'll throw it away. The colony didn't.

Ever since. When Hossein died. There was no reason to feel the guilt of the colony. But he felt guilty. I took care of Hossein's daughter. The same is true now. Seocolony has consistently sponsored Mihar, Hossein's daughter, and is protecting her.

And still.

“I'm a little scared because you're nice. ”

Tempest murmurs.

“Unlike Margot. ”

Seo Min-sik replied.

“... maybe it resembles Margot's. I like Insta enough. ”

And, of course, the number of followers.

“It's not like Finn. ”

A tall staff breezes. Tempest slowly comes to mind as he swallows his breath. With a roaring sound, a cloud of food came. Tempest raises the Tempest in the sky. She was harnessing the power at the heart of the magic that Seo Min-gu was creating.

“Margo's the only one who's gonna dry up around here who's crazy enough to shoot a teacher with an axe. ”

Seo Min-sik pushed the staff forward.

“Finn didn't know the extent. That's not right. That's it. I took the teacher with the axe and killed him. You're dead.”

I am.

Seo Ming laughed.

“I'm not that stubborn. I didn't live like Finn. If I do something stupid, the lunatic around here is the one who's gonna make me sober rather than take the axe down like a pin. ”

In a way, I was more sick and scared of Baek Hyun's prick than Pin's axe.

“But I'm scared. Maybe, like Margo... people will yearn for the miracles you cause. ”

“I don't. ”

It started to rain. The dust that blooms goes off. The jeep that the mob was driving stopped. It's not a cry, but they're surprised by the rain. Seong-colony shook his hand at the mob looking this way.

“There are more good people in the world than I am. ”

Seonnyeong stretched his staff forward. Wind and rain merged into a sphere.

“I have a real god who can't be compared to me. ”

“What about cloning? ”

The metal clattering was not disturbing. That sound is everyday in Silver Volcano, the sanctuary of Iron Maid. You're telling me to laugh, right? Valencia laughs in vain at the answer she hears. She answered as she crossed her head.

“No, I mean it. This is the yo-yo. You have two things to deal with, and you have one. I suffer because I am one, and I have no privacy. Isn't that right?”

I'm full of worrys.Valencia thinks of it like a colony.

“Isn't that a pretty reasonable solution? You know Solomon's trial, right? ”

With one child, two women claimed to be the mother of the child. Solomon grabbed the child's arm from both sides, tore it in two, and said to take it one by one.

“I can't really tear you apart. In the first place, Solomon's verdict was not meant to be. The underlying cause of that problem is that there was one child, and there were two women in need. The easiest way to solve that is to be two, not one. So that everyone can be satisfied. ”

Valencia raises her body by saying so. She approached the assistant who was being ‘reconciled’. She fell asleep with a tranquil face. By the assistant who was so asleep,

There was a beating heart. Valencia slowly reaches out to her heart. It touched, and it was warm.

It's not fake.

Made by Valencia herself, this was undoubtedly a living heart. Valencia looks at it for a moment and turns her head. I look at the face of the secretary who is asleep with a calm face. Below that, there's a wide open body.

The cogs and machines that were filling her body were removed. Replaced that vacant seat with an organ. It was like a heart. Everyone made it by Valencia himself. It is a living organ and heart, though not a fake.

“An Iron Maid would do it. ”

I know it's impossible.

Valencia mutters like that and fills her heart with the last empty spot. Keying! The organs that stopped as the heart was inserted glow. The characters inscribed on the surface created a trick.

“You gave your genes to Iron Maid. Isn't that right?”

That's what I promised Iron Maid.

Iron Maid, who wanted to create Homunkulus, received Tempest's hair from Baek Hyun. In exchange for celebrating the encounter with Marcin, Baek Hyun gave Ironmaid some of her hair, some of her divinity.

“If the Iron Maid makes the same Homunculus as you, you'll be the only two, so the gizzards won't roast you. Or why don't you make two new ones? Then you'll be very comfortable. ”

[No.]

“Of course I am. That's offensive. There's only one" me. "”

Valencia smiles as she mutters. Not according to ethics, not according to providence... no matter how genetic engineering evolves, the common sense of the world does not accept the existence of a clone.

“More greed, I hope. ”

Maybe foolishness, or regret. Valencia looks at the secretary's face. Creative law of Homunkulus. Iron Maid has already reached it. And Valencia. If it were now... as I had hoped for when I first contracted with Iron Maid. I can bring my dead brother back.

“If you don't like it, you'll have to suffer. ”

[What about Iron Maid?]

“It's still stuck in the Silver Volcano Workshop. Hey, by the way. What were you talking to Iron Maid about then? ”

Valencia looks at the secretary's face and turns her head.

On one wall of her workshop. There was a big family photo hanging.

It was taken with my dead brother.

[It's a secret.]

Baek Hyun came back to Silver Volcano to fulfill his promise to Iron Maid. He enters the Iron Maid Workshop, where he has never entered Valencia.

What the hell were they talking about there?

“To be useless and expensive. ”

[It's not even a chatty story.]

“All right, then. You have to work hard. I hang up.”

Peck.

Valencia cuts off Artifact's communication and looks down on the assistant's face. Greed, foolishness, regret. All the stories I told Baek Hyun were about her. Valencia sighs for a long time.

It's been years since my brother died.

She recalls the ghost water made by Pure St. Even if you die... you can't die, you floating ghosts. The worst hell I could suffer after death was right there. My brother. There will already be no eggs. He must have been born anew in the first place. Of course, the soul is not important to Valencia now. No body, no soul, just make it. To do so, he coveted the stone of the Wise Man of Perforation, and didn't want to make Homunculus.

“... ”

I haven't completely shuddered at my brother yet. I want to see you again. I also have an idea. But we'll never see each other again. Valencia laughed with a fluffy smile. Just because I made it myself, it's the same as my dead brother. Same face, same body. can be made. But memory becomes unilateral. Valencia doesn't know what memory her dead brother has accumulated. I don't know what I was thinking. If you rebuild it, you will be forced to form memories and personalities from Valencia's perspective thoroughly.

“The dead can't be rebuilt. ”

Valencia mutters like that and closes her secretary's body. The beating heart caused the secretary to breathe. Valencia sat in the chair and asked for a cigarette. I made a secretary because I wanted to revive my brother. It was a completely different being than my brother. For a while, I called him by his brother's name and thought he was my brother.

It was stupid.

That wasn't my dead brother.

The secretary raised his body. She blinks, staring at Valencia. After a while, the secretary looks down at Valencia's face. I could hear the heart. I could feel the blood around me. It's all made. This body was stronger than the one made with the previous machine. No wonder. The Creative Magic Essence reached by Iron Maid was inside the secretary's body.

‘... face...’

The secretary touches his face. Nothing has changed. Before lying down, he said like a joke. If you still want your brother, rip this face off.

I said it like a joke, but in fact I was scared. I don't think it's just the face that's changing. Valencia now had the power to change the fundamentals of her secretary.

“I didn't fix it. ”

Valencia laughed at the flute.

“I've thought about it, and I think you're as good as you are. ”

“I have a better face now. ”

The secretary replied with a smile. Valencia chuckles and bounces the cigarette she was biting.

“Are you my daughter? ”

“What nonsense? ”

The secretary grabbed the boat and laughed at the question.

“Go eat, Master. ”

The secretary, who comes down with a cannonball, reaches out to Valencia.
