Return of the Frozen Player 453
King’s Road(2)
When people on the 3rd floor or higher hide in the cave.
Slaves on the 1st and 2nd floors could not do that.
Seeing the king and his subordinates looking down on them, they instinctively felt it.
“this… … Anyone can see that they are targeting us, right?”
“Are you trying to vent your anger over the death of the knights last time?”
“Such sex! It’s not too late now! Do I have to report what I saw that night!?”
“It can’t be.”
When an old man with a cane appeared in the square, the slaves bowed their heads in courtesy.
He was reputed to be the oldest and wisest man on the farm.
Usually, the older you get, the more stubborn and egotistical you become, but he didn’t have that.
For this reason, slaves would go to the old man and borrow his wisdom when something happened, and naturally many of them followed him.
“Old Savio, what do you mean by that?”
A man insisting on reporting what he saw that night pounded on his chest in frustration.
“Can’t you see that upstairs? as if paying an invoice
I even did it.”
“If you receive grace, it is a human life to repay it.”
Savio’s deep eyes turned to the man.
“Just because we can’t be treated like human beings, don’t give up on being human.”
“but… …
“How much trouble must have been before the black mask helped us.”
This farm is the world of a king who wields unbridled power.
If a person is, of course, his planting
You won’t want to slip.
“Nevertheless, he readily handed us the favor.”
However, if this grateful favor was returned to the enemy, who would help the slaves again?
Giving up humanity and justice to avoid an imminent crisis was, after all, selling the future.
The man bit his lip at Savio’s gentle scolding.
“Besides, he has a savage disposition, but he is known as the king of this farm.”
No reason, no justification
won’t kill themselves
Savio straightened his back as much as possible, facing the king looking down.
As if it were your own conscience.
“… … The old man is right.”
“Should we be cowering over what we did wrong? Just because you are a slave?”
“I can’t. Let’s show how proud we are!”
“I don’t want to stab my benefactor in the back either.”
Impressed by his appearance, the slaves slowly straightened their shrunken shoulders.
His gaze, which had been crawling on the floor, confidently looked upwards.
At the momentum of hundreds of slaves, the soldiers were shaken.
The king, with his chin tucked in boredom, enjoyed the scene without missing a single one.
‘ also.’
The king was once again convinced that he was right.
‘The fear is consumed.’
Man is an animal of forgetfulness and a dynamic of adaptation
because it is water
They easily recall what happened today, yesterday, or even what happened last week.
So what if the unit is increased to one year, two years, or five years?
‘The fear is diluted.’
The king was more bothered by their habits than by the humans themselves.
Periodically re-instill fear.
Because we have to instill greater fear than the last time.
‘It’s about time to plant it.’
To demote commoners to slavery? It doesn’t make any sense.
That’s something that’s happened a lot over the past decade.
It would be painful for the person concerned, but it was never to the extent that others trembled with ‘fear’.
‘How far should I go this time.’
Calling the heroes of the lower ones and instilling fear at the same time.
It was the king’s purpose to catch both rabbits at once.
“… … Odrick.”
Let the king’s voice resound through the silent den, coooooooooong!
A heavy sound pounded on the first floor floor.
“Coke, Coke! Oh dust.”
“What fell?”
When the thick dust cleared, a knight in red armor appeared.
Gying, Gying.
A muddy resonant sound continued to resonate in the red magic circuit drawn on the entire armor.
“..article?”
“Hey, look at that sword.”
The sword that Knight Commander Odric always carried.
The sword, a symbol of the King’s favor and fear, was held in the knight’s hand.
The slave standing closest to him opened his mouth.
“Hey, hey, I fell from the 3rd floor, are you okay?”
Odrick’s head slowly turned in his concern.
‘ uh?’
The moment the slave read the life in the eyes of the helmet looking at him.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa J
The sword cut a long, oblique line across his chest.
Silence beyond silence naturally spread like an epidemic.
That time, like an eternity of spells, was lifted by someone’s murmur.
cut.”
The knight commander cut down the slave.
For no reason.
without any demands.
I just swung my sword.
By the time a fear never experienced penetrates people’s heads.
“Eh, run away.”
“Go upstairs aaaaaa!”
Gying, Gying.
Odrick’s sword began frantically creating a mysterious corpse.
Truly a scene of massacre.
Every time the sword moved, the slaves’ arms, legs, and necks rolled on the floor, and bodies piled up.
“It’s a little fun now.”
While the king was enjoying his entertainment with a satisfied expression, a high-pitched voice erupted from nearby.
“What is this!!!”
As I turned around, I saw a familiar face.
Tess, the farm’s doctor.
“Aren’t you asking? What the hell is this?! Stop Odrick right now.
yo. this!”
As he shouted with a bloody face, he was subdued by the soldiers in an instant and fell to his knees.
The king, who watched the scene, smiled and replied.
“Entertainment.”
“……what?”
Tess’s eyes twitched.
Yeo Hong? Is it simply because of Yeo Hong that people’s lives are cut like straw?
Took. She heard something snapping in her head.
Then, a gigantic roar that I had never heard before in my life came out of my mouth.
“You son of a bitch! It’s your people! You are the people of your baby who dominate this farm !!! ”
The king’s head tilted to one side at that cry.
Then he asked with a very innocent face, as if he was curious.
“I don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Then who can do this but me, the king?”
Tess, who only pursed her lips at that imposing attitude, managed to squeeze her voice out.
“Are you saying that now? … ?”
“Fights produce results, and winners produce losers. I fought, I won, and you just didn’t.”
The king twisted his finger roughly once.
“Everything on this farm is mine. It’s mine, I can do as I please.”
The eyes of Tess, who had nothing to say, blurred.
I tried to hold it in, but I was so sad, so unfair that tears flowed.
‘… … believed.’
No matter how tyrannical a king may be, half of him is someone like himself.
So if you work hard, someday it will change.
The day will surely come when his own voice and the voices of his subordinates reach his ears.
‘Tess you idiot.’
do not reach
No, the other party rejected it.
It was the wrong button to think of him as half-human.
“… … A dog-like demon.”
Even if it’s half, it’s definitely a demon.
Why didn’t I know this obvious fact?
Why do I feel this kind of despondency because I expect it on my own?
‘If only I hadn’t even dreamed of it.’
If so, would it feel as miserable as it is now?
I wouldn’t have felt lost.
The strength was released from the body. Like someone who has lost all hope.
Even if the person who overcame the end of yesterday can endure today.
It is difficult for those who foresee the end of tomorrow to endure today.
‘finished… … It’s over here.’
The people under him will die under that monster forever, maintaining their worm-like lives.
The moment Tess, who had let go of all hope, was about to bow her head.
“Don’t keep your head down.”
A resolute voice rang in my ears.
At the same time, someone grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
“Because you haven’t done anything wrong.”
“… … Mr. Sunny?”
Tess looked at him in surprise.
“Hey, how is this place?”
His eyes widened as he looked around.
I didn’t even feel the approaching sign
However, all the soldiers around were stunned.
“……Hoo.”
The king’s eyes twinkled.
He rested his chin on his back and straightened his posture.
“It’s you. Heroes of the Underworld… …
“What is it?”
Seo Jun-ho, ignoring the king’s words, asked.
Tess, unable to grasp the context of the words, asked back.
“… … What?”
“Whatever you want.”
It sounded like he would do anything if he just said it.
The temptation was too sweet, but Tess was too quick to open her mouth.
‘… … Because I knew that vain dreams come back as bigger wounds.’
Isn’t that the realization I got just a few minutes ago?
Rather, the king who got up from his seat opened his mouth as if he was having fun.
“Funny. Just hearing what you say makes you a god… …
“You’re a little tight-lipped.”
The fierce eyes of a wild beast scratched the king.
“Because it’s not your turn yet.”
Seeing the hardened face of the king, Tess’s heart shrank even more.
He asked, shaking Seo Jun-ho’s sleeve.
“Uh, what are you doing here?”
“Answer the question first.”
Transparent eyes that seemed like they wouldn’t even know it was a lie.
Tess’s eyes shook slightly as she looked at them.
‘Those eyes… …
I get it now
Why did he feel friendly from the start?
-… … Tess, now you have to heal people.
The crime of speaking right to the king.
For that reason alone, my parents were reduced to slavery.
In the morning, he was hired in the name of being a training partner for knights, and returned at night as bloody rice cakes.
– I’m sorry that I gave you a big burden.
The two of them led their weary bodies and taught Tess the art of medicine while coughing up blood.
A son who will be left alone when they die
Crab, because I had to come up with a way to survive.
‘mother… … father… …
Thick water droplets fell from Tess’ eyes.
What do you want? I had the confidence to talk about that for days and days.
But right now, he wants one thing.
“..save the people, save the people
yo. this. please.”
At the young doctor’s wet request, Seo Jun-ho nodded slowly.
The king, who watched the scene, warmed up slowly.
“Are you done playing house?”
“No, I intend to end it now.”
Unlike when he looked at Tess, Seo Jun-ho’s eyes toward the king were cold.
“Huh, do you really want to say that the king should protect the people, just like that lesser guy?”
“A ruler is not one who ascends to the top, but one who leads from the front. He is the one who instills respect in the people, not the one who instills fear.”
You can trust it because it was told by Frost, the former lord of Niflheim.
“A foolish thing. Why don’t you know that it’s all an illusion created by the lower ones?”
“A king is just a king. He is the all-encompassing one. An absolute existence that everyone should put their heads down and follow!”
“… … Is that the king you think it is?”
Seo Jun-ho slowly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, the conversation with the frost that I had missed for several days passed through my mind.
-contractor. Do you know what virtue is most needed for a ruler?
-… … Is it pedigree?
-Wrong! Ding! Totally dang! The first virtue a ruler should possess is counting.
– What should I count?
– It is the heart of the people.
-I can’t be a monarch. how do you count that
-… … Hehe, rather, you will be able to become a good monarch.
Words that I didn’t understand at all at that time, naturally made sense.
‘Why can’t I hear this?’
Or was it that I couldn’t really hear you because I kept covering my ears?
Energy came out of Seo Jun-ho’s body like a thread.
The air around you changes.
The king looked down at his hands in disbelief.
‘I was nervous?’
Even the demons who come as the supervisor of this place are not too much of a self. why?
“… … The Emperor of the Middle Plain orders it.”
At the same time, a system message began to blare loudly in my head.
[Emperor’s Dignity (S) is activated.]
[The emperor must always be dignified wherever he is. Emits the power of an all-encompassing emperor.]
［Temporarily acquire the ‘level of transcendence’
It was.]
[The conditions to deal with soul stones have been temporarily met.]
A transcendent light flowed from Seo Jun-ho’s eyes, who slowly raised his eyelids.
“My knight, Heartweaver.”
Kwak!
Seo Jun-ho’s fists clenched tightly as if they would burst the air.
“Wake up.”
and show them
what a true knight is.
