Faith Life of a Former Scammer - Faith Life of a Former Scammer chapter 179
179. can’t give this
“I entered the imperial palace because a great opportunity arose.”
“A chance?”
“Besides me, there were others who tried to break into the imperial palace. I took advantage of the gap they caught and sneaked in.”
“Did you see who it was?”
“no. As a rule of thumb, I didn’t pay attention to unnecessary things.”
You just have to find out if you are involved in an incident or complicated things happen.
This word, which was like the truth to Leon, was one of the old woman’s iron rules.
“But, one thing is for sure. The skills of those who tried to break into the imperial palace must have been amazing.”
“I was lucky.”
At Leon’s words, she nodded.
“Right. It seemed like luck was following me. Then I found this in the deepest part of the imperial palace.”
She pointed to a cube made of iron. A magic circle was densely drawn on the cube.
It was an unusual thing to look at.
“The intruders suddenly broke in. A mysterious cube hidden deep inside. The front and back fit perfectly.”
She realized that the intruders were looking for a cube.
“So I thought it was interesting. I thought I could make a legend.”
He seemed to have forgotten to say that it was not his story.
However, because the story was so exciting, Leon didn’t notice it.
“So I took this cube and left the card.”
“What did you write on the card?”
“Oh my goodness. Did you expect that far?”
“I thought about what I would have done if it were me. Then, I must have left a message on the card.”
As if looking at a student, she looked at Leon with a happy expression.
“If you were Leon, what would you write?”
“If it were me… … ‘I will keep it in a place where I can’t find it forever.’ I would have written it down.”
Leon’s answer made her laugh.
“ah. It’s good. It is similar to what I wrote.”
Judging by how shy he was, it seemed that he had written it with extreme words mixed in.
Anyway, the message she and Leon wanted to convey was the same.
‘I will hide this cube.’
The empire has reason to believe.
[A location tracking magic circle is engraved on the cube. Take it out of the soul labyrinth and you’ll find it right away. In addition, various magic circles are hanging.]
The magic circle was densely engraved, but there was no way there was no location tracking magic.
So, what does the grandmother get for hiding the cube?
‘Fame.’
A reputation as a legendary thief who broke into the imperial palace and managed to escape.
Besides, this is a really small factor compared to what we get next.
‘That the last signal from Killika was cut off.’
When I asked what the deformed city of Killika looked like, it was because there was such a back story.
The Empire turned Killika into a trash can to hide its treasure.
‘Thanks to the combination of fame and protection of the empire.’
The current Killika was able to exist. I vaguely thought it was built because of Grandma’s great skills, but I was wrong.
It was a really, really great skill.
When Leon suddenly looked at him with respect, she smiled.
“Looks like you figured out what happened.”
Leon nodded.
“It wasn’t a perfect plan. Because he made enemies, the legendary thief had to die.”
Disposing of the identity that created the legend was a loss, but at this level, it was a loss worth taking.
“I realized it again today.”
“What?”
“That I’m with someone really great.”
“Oh my goodness. Is the service too much today?”
This was not flattery. It was a truly admirable plan.
“Can I stay here a little longer? I want to do some research on this.”
“It’s okay.”
Now it’s time to chew, tear, and taste this cube.
* * *
It was a bad idea to just take the cube outside.
‘What kind of guys are the Empire guys.’
Thanks to the long peace, the inside of the empire was slowly rotting away. Nobles are corrupt and only pursue their own gain.
Even so, the fact that this empire was maintained was all thanks to the emperor and his aides.
Otherwise, a single empire would have been split into dozens of states.
‘I could turn the empire into an enemy if I went out with it by mistake.’
So, I had to find a way to get it out secretly.
‘I should first know what this is.’
At first, I thought it was a cube made of iron, but when I touched it, I realized that it was not iron. However, it was a familiar feeling.
Leon took out a small piece of stone from his bosom. It was an artificial god created this time.
‘I couldn’t believe it.’
The texture of the Cube and Shinsu was the same.
‘What is this? Did the Empire have someone who could transform gods?’
For a moment, I felt dizzy.
[That’s not it. It seems that this is a whole new thing.]
‘What!?’
Read at noble mtl.com
More dizziness came than that.
‘It has to be much bigger than now to cut it into cubes?!’
[I’m sure. There are traces of being cut.]
Leon touched the surface of the cube and focused on the tactile sensation. As Siri said, she could feel the cut.
‘These idiots!’
I was moved by the atrocities of the uncivilized Empire, but I soon realized that it wasn’t bad.
‘Anyway, it’s clear that there isn’t a guy who deals with sacred things.’
It was proof that he had done such an ignorant thing. If I could handle it, I would never have done anything like this.
‘The problem is what’s inside.’
This cube wasn’t empty inside like the orc tribe’s gods.
That said, it was also different from the normal gods filled with divine power. Perhaps because of the magic circle, I couldn’t release the energy I was hiding.
‘seal?’
Considering all the circumstances, it was reasonable to assume that the energy was sealed so that it could not come out.
‘It’s such an item that those who don’t want to reveal their identities would invade the imperial palace.’
I couldn’t even imagine what that could be. It was best to ask at this time.
Rion took out a mask, put it on, and changed her voice.
“There are questions.”
<Oh! I didn’t expect you to contact me already.>
“Questions.”
<Yes. I’ll answer what I can.>
Leon didn’t change his words and asked a question right away.
“What is in this cube?”
<… … did you find it?>
As expected, the guy knew the identity of this.
“found.”
<Where?>
“You guys commissioned a mission, are you asking where to find it?”
To Leon’s words, the boy did not respond. I would have done my best to find it on the dark side.
<Did you find the treasure house?>
“How long are you going to ask this stupid question?”
<… … It’s because you found it so quickly. It’s understandable to be upset!>
It was as the guy said. When he realized that he was right in front of his nose, Rion was also surprised.
Of course, that wasn’t something Leon would consider.
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me. What is this?”
A symbol of defeat. This item proves that we lost to the Empire.>
“Details.”
<I don’t know the details either. Only a few know exactly what’s inside. You can roughly think of it as containing divine power.>
This is a point organization problem.
Because security is important, situations arise that people who need to know don’t know.
“Are you saying you won’t reveal the information to anyone who finds it?”
<… … It is information that I do not know that conveys information.>
This was not something that could be answered by brushing it off. I had to be content with getting this much clue.
“good night. don’t ask another question I cannot deliver this.”
<Yes. Rather, if you brought it out, I would have dried it. There must be bloody magic hanging there.>
“Then, what should I do next?”
<You need to break the seal. There is something we are preparing… … .>
It seemed that this mission was given as a long-term mission, not a short-term one.
Even the preparation items were not ready, and it seemed that he had never imagined that he would find them.
“I can’t go out. The reason I came here in the first place was because of luck.”
<Ah. Is that so? This is a big deal. If you just break the seal, you will surely die.>
“Looks like it.”
There was no way that there would be a magic circle that would be activated if the seal was forcibly broken.
<Um.>
The guy didn’t offer any advice.
“I know roughly. My job is to break the seal on this thing.”
<Yes.>
“I will solve it and contact you.”
<Is it possible?>
“If that’s not possible, are there other opportunities for me?”
<… … no.>
“Then, I will forcefully make it possible.”
<We look forward to hearing from you.>
The message ended with that.
However, even after sending all the messages, Leon did not take off his mask.
‘This requires the power of vigilance.’
There were two things to do here.
After breaking the seal without touching the magic circle. It had to come out from the inside.
‘I thought it was simply a seal, but it wasn’t. It contains something.’
Breaking the seal was the end, meaning that what was contained inside would escape.
‘great. Then shall we begin?’
The power of artificial gods and seeds obtained this time.
If you add the authority of the boundary there, it’s not that difficult.
* * *
Rion held the god of anger in her left hand.
‘I’ll help you with the right timing.’
[All right.]
‘Bixby, you too.’
[Yep! master!]
‘google. Good seed control. I’ll squeeze it to the limit.’
[Gureuk!]
The plan was simple. First of all, by activating the Power of Vigilance, it breaks the boundary between the sacred object of anger and the body.
‘Hey Siri! Start!’
The power could only be activated with Leon’s will, but he couldn’t live in such an inconvenience.
Leon found a way.
[Skill: Self-Suggestion is activated.]
By activating autosuggestion, I forcibly created my will.
‘The boundary between the divine object and the left hand is collapsing!’
If Rion sets the direction, then Siri controls and activates the skill.
[Self-suggestion succeeded.]
According to the will made by self-suggestion, the power of authority was activated.
Originally, that would be impossible.
[Rumble!]
Google has squeezed its seeds to the limit, making the impossible possible.
Then an amazing thing happened.
The boundary between the flesh and the divine has collapsed. The god dug into the palm, and the palm dug into the god.
They merged, maintaining each other’s form, as if they were one.
As a result, an absurd thing happened in which the hand and the body existed in one space at the same time.
It has been a success so far.
‘Bixby!’
[Replaces Left Hand Path with Spirit of Wrath!]
It wasn’t just a combination of the left hand and the divine object. One of the origins of the Fury Road was replaced with a new one.
[Replacement complete! I can’t control this! You must consume it quickly!]
The enormous anger contained in the divine object was not an amount that could be controlled. Even so, the reason I put it in my left hand was to use it as fuel when using authority.
‘Hey Siri!’
[Skill: Self-Suggestion is activated.]
Once again autosuggestion was triggered.
‘I want the physical boundary between the cube and the magic circle to be farther away!’
[Self-suggestion succeeded.]
The authority of the boundary moved, and an unbelievable thing happened.
The boundary between the magic circle and the cube began to drift apart. This was out of the ordinary. The magic circle engraved on the cube was a structure that could not be separated.
However, that common sense has collapsed.
The boundary between the magic circle and the cube began to increase at a certain interval.
And, the one who was sealed from there popped out.
‘What the hell are you?’
Of course, that didn’t come out. The boundary between the magic circle and the cube had only grown farther away, but it was still sealed.
