The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone - The Evil God Beyond the Smartphone chapter 121
One Chuck Cheon-Geum (2)
A small lake located in the Atelot region.
There Pluto looked at a huge mass floating in the lake.
A white mass the size of a rock was floating in the middle of the lake.
Fish that couldn’t get in were flowing down from the mouth of the seemingly very soft lump.
The pure white mass reflected in Pluto’s eyes is the abyss magic beast Kueberg.
It was a monster summoned by the great being she served, and protected by the Second Apostle by order.
“Kueberg. You seem to have adapted to the lake as well.”
“It feels better to be in the water. It feels a bit like the abyss.”
“Is the abyss you lived in a space filled with water like this one?”
– “Unlike the ground, it is full of sticky poison. Those who are not resistant to the poison of the abyss cannot survive.”
Hearing Kueberg’s answer, Pluto nodded.
Since she was born and raised on earth from the beginning, she didn’t know anything about the abyss.
Therefore, the content of the abyss had to be guessed only from the story Kueberg had told him.
Of course, even if it wasn’t the abyss, I didn’t really know anything right now.
It was all a side effect of being sealed with stakes in the cave for hundreds of years.
Because he did not go through the memory renewal through blood magic in time, only the memories that he endured in the cave remain in his head.
The long-lived immortal species had to periodically preserve their memories.
Otherwise, you could lose important memories by being pushed by the waves of time.
“Is there an eternal life among the beasts living in the abyss?”
Asked Pluto, who stretched out his hand over the fish-eating Kueberg.
It was to find out if an immortal species like himself existed in the abyss.
The plump texture of Kueberg was transmitted through her fingertips.
The Kueberg had a soft texture just as it looked.
In the past, it was said that the appearance was distorted due to the difference in magic density with the abyss, but now it is said that it maintains the original shape differently from that time.
It was probably because he had lost most of the power he had brought with him from the abyss.
Hearing Pluto’s question, Kueberg answered her by spitting out the fish he couldn’t swallow.
– “I haven’t seen an individual that can be called an immortal species. Occasionally, there will be long-lived guys, but each one will have a lifespan.”
“It seems that there are no eternal species in the abyss.”
– “It would be safe to say that at least among the beasts there are none. Even I, who had conquered an area, could not resist my life.”
According to Kueberg, even in the abyss, there seemed to be no magical beast that lived forever.
Hearing such a story, a strange feeling rose in Pluto’s heart.
Thanks to the disappearance of her old memories, she doesn’t know why she lived forever.
However, only a few were promised unending eternity.
Together with the great being who watches over her, she is always looking at the beginning and the end of the world.
In a world where countless lives bloom and die, she will forever act on behalf of God’s will.
For vampires, death was an unacceptable concept.
“I see. After all, life is something that no one can resist…”
– “You seem to have a lot of trouble.”
“Because I don’t have any memories left. He must’ve been watching me since time immemorial, and I don’t know anything about him.”
Although he lived for many years, there was nothing left of Pluto today.
She was just living according to her position that someone had set for her.
The fortunate thing is that the one who gave her the role is the God of the Sky.
Aside from that, there was nothing that made her feel at ease since waking up.
– “·········.”
“And I don’t even have any memories of me. Aren’t you afraid? It means that someone I don’t know will remain somewhere in the world.”
What remained inside Pluto was a feeble fear.
A feeling of fear that comes from ignorance.
Therefore, Pluto had a small expectation that someone who knew him who had forgotten would remain somewhere in the world.
Burr.
Kueberg, who had fallen once to chase away the fish around her, looked at her.
Eyes like those that didn’t open, opened their mouths as they looked at Pluto.
– “No one who dwells in the abyss will know of you.”
“Is that so?”
– “But it doesn’t look like you need to worry too much. He must have chosen you to be an apostle, even though he knew everything about you.”
At Kueberg’s story, Pluto’s eyes widened and he looked at the white object.
Floating on the water, Kueberg moved away from Pluto’s touch and showed him swimming in the lake.
Seeing Kueberg swimming while comforting himself, it felt like the frustration that had accumulated inside Pluto was relieved a little.
Are you being comforted by a round-looking monster?
It was not a scene suitable for the great sijo.
Pluto stared at Kueberg with ruby-colored eyes and muttered to him.
“It would be too. Was it something to worry about?”
– “You are blessed. If you keep doing your work, it will be possible to be loved by a great man forever.”
“Be loved forever by the Great…”
– “And if the troubles that only the eternal ones have are over, now I want to ask you a favor.”

Maybe it was because Pluto’s troubles were coming to an end.
Kueberg, floating in the lake, turned around and talked about the business.
It seemed that he had something to ask of Pluto.
When Kueberg said that he had a favor, Pluto asked him with a serious face.
“Request?”
– “It seems that the time has come when we need to get out of this lake.”
“It’s been a while since I got used to it, but now the lake seems cramped.”
– “For growth, a suitable partner is also necessary. Now that the time for protection and growth is over, we will have to move to bigger waters.”
Kueberg’s request was simple.
He had grown enough to grow in the lake, so it was a story about leaving a safe place and moving on to another place.
If Kueberg was a little bigger, living in the lake would be burdensome.
“If it’s bigger water…”
– “Release me into the sea. I have to catch more prey there and get bigger.”
ocean.
Pluto tilted his head at the first word he heard.
She hadn’t heard of the sea in hundreds of years.
It was because he had been locked up in a cave for a long time.
“ocean?”
– “You seem to have forgotten about the sea. It’s not important, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“······Ah Okay. I’ll talk to Evan.”
– “Then let me ask you.”
“The sea … the sea is not a big deal. yes.”
Upon receiving Kueberg’s request, Pluto wiggled one of his eyebrows and picked up the Death Side next to him.
It was not very reluctant for her, the founder, to be pointed out for her ignorance.
When she returned to the church, she thought that she would have to find out about the sea and raised her magical powers.
Behind Pluto, Kueberg was spouting water from his mouth, creating a fountain.

Setius was one of the many branches of the Duke of Obthos.
Of course, even if it was a collateral line, it was quite far from the direct line of the duke.
In fact, except for big events, it was safe enough to be considered a stranger.
The reason that he was able to oversee the auction house this time was also thanks to Cetius’s father, who was said to have touched money, and supported him.
So he needed to somehow achieve the desired result this time.
And, fortunately, the highest quality magic crystals were exhibited at this auction.
It was an object that would draw attention to any family that did research related to magic.
Setius, who was aiming for a certain shot, was given an unbelievable opportunity.
From the moment the highest-grade Magical Stone entered the auction house, it was natural for Cetius to train his subordinates every day.
“The magic crystals to be exhibited this time are not easily found in any mine in the Empire. It is safe to call it a treasure.”
“·················ogue.”
“Besides, even several horse towers aiming for magic stone are participating in this auction.
“Yeah, yes… that’s right.”
“You shouldn’t leave even a tiny bit of dust on the floor where such important guests come!”
Setius, who yelled at the servants cleaning the auction house, kicked the water bottle in the corner and talked.
tung. Degur.
The bucket of water that was kicked by Setius’ kicks rolled over the floor.
Hearing Setius’ shouts, the servants also shuddered greatly.
Setius pointed his fingers one at a time at the water-filled floor, and gave his servants a thumbs up.
“Wipe again to shine! There must be no dust left on the floor!”
“Oh, I see! I will wipe again!”
“If it remains as it is when I come back, then instead of a warning, I will engrave it in my head with a whip!”
Setius, who rebuked the servants in a loud voice, turned and walked down the hallway.
The secretary who was taking care of Setius also quickly moved his legs to follow him.
Even after yelling at the servants, his anger did not go away.
Setius snorted heavily and clenched his fists.
He did not forget to complain to the secretary who had been following him.
“You know what this place is! What are you doing with such an attitude?”
“You are right. I will re-educate those servants.”
“Of course it is! From my point of view, all but you idiots are here!”
“Nevertheless, I am glad that it will be the best auction thanks to Setius-sama’s skillful skills. For those who are lacking, I will set aside time to make sure there are no problems.”
Setius calmed his harsh snoring and quietly nodded his head at the secretary’s story.
Hearing the secretary’s words, it was because he felt a little relieved.
uhm
Setius, who coughed once to clear his rough neck, looked at the secretary.
Then he began to ask the secretary about the participants in the auction.
“Hmmmm. So, are there any new families who have requested to participate in the meantime?”
“This time, Count Meyer also sent a request to participate.”
“If it was Count Meyer… was it a Korean-American-Korean family in the Centirius region?”
Count Meyer.
After hearing the awkward name, Setius looked back intently at his memories.
Read at noblemtl.net
Maybe it’s because I don’t hear it often, but it was a family name I can’t remember in detail.
Obviously, the count had died some time ago, and we had to hear the rumors that the eldest son would become the next count.
But that was all he knew about Count Meyer.
Setius blinked at the secretary and asked for a detailed explanation.
“The frontier family that rules Lithua-Centireus.”
“If it’s a Centirius, it’s on the way to the Holy Land.”
“I haven’t applied for participation in a long time, but this time I heard rumors about the magic stone and it seems like I’m going to participate.”
“huh. They seem to know that the highest-grade magic stones are theirs.”
After hearing the description of the Count, Setius snorted.
The number of dukes participating in this auction alone was three.
In addition, the leading horse towers aiming for the magic stone also participated in the event.
In such an auction, it was safe to say that the counts of Korea and the United States on the outskirts would not win the bid for the highest quality magic stone.
The only thing suitable for the countess was the appropriate magic tools put in to fill the auction order.
After listening to the secretary’s story, Setius thought for a moment, stroking his beard and talking to the secretary.
“I’d like to say no, but… can’t you sell even a slightly inferior item?”
“If we certainly decline the Count’s request to participate, there may be troublesome conversations in many ways.”
“I don’t like it, but I have to accept it. Send an invitation to the countess.”
“······All right. I will prepare an invitation for the Countess.”
This auction was the best auction ever prepared by Setius himself.
And it was necessary for the audience to watch such an auction house with their own eyes.
Count Meyer would be a suitable audience for such an auction.
Setius, who remembered the upcoming auction in his head, continued walking with a sinister smile.
Tub. Tub. Tub. Tub.
In the hallway where the servants were busy mopping the floor, the footsteps of Setius and his secretary reverberated.
