I Live Alone in the Inventory

Chapter 59

After eating,

Hoeju spoke up.

“First of all, let’s get Captain Jang’s report. What happened?”

Jang Chun-bok looked at Hui-ju and said.

“Yes, while I was scouting for the Gate and the Celestial Society, I was discovered and taken away. I was knocked out for a few days because I was hit on the head, but after waking up, I luckily escaped. Then I met these two. “

Hearing the simple report, Hoeju nodded.

“It’s fortunate. It would have been difficult for me to recover if I had been caught by the Cheoninkai.”

“I thought it was surprising too. It wasn’t too difficult to escape. That’s why I wondered if they intentionally let me go and tracked down the main body of the Jungrim branch.

It seems that what I expected was correct to some extent. Because I met Yoo Ji-gwang, who was tracking me.

In fact, if I hadn’t met these two people, I would have guided them all the way to the headquarters of the Jeongrim branch without even noticing Yoo Ji-gwang’s existence. Since there is a variable, it seems that Yoo Ji-gwang appeared directly. It really can’t be luck.”

Hoju nodded.

“It’s really fortunate.”

After the report, Jang Chun-bok said to Hoe-ju.

“This is the report I will give you. Let’s talk slowly now. I will go out.”

Jang Chun-bok greeted the remaining three and went out.

Hoeju of the Jeongrim branch lifted the teacup from the table and took a sip before saying,

“Looks like you’ve got a lot of questions. Ask me anything. I’ll answer to the best of my knowledge.”

At Hoeju’s words, Jeongmin seemed puzzled.

“Aren’t you talking too easily to an outsider you meet today?”

“Where in the world is there anything for free? Doesn’t it mean that you want something else to get information so easily?”

“Um… then let’s listen to that first. What do you want?”

Hoeju laughed at Jeongmin’s question.

“Actually, it’s not too shameless to tell the people who saved our scout captain about the conditions. But, I think it’s a condition that I can talk about enough. My condition… Here in ‘Ciaran’, [Trial of God] It’s a natural thing for anyone who lives inside.”

‘Chiaran… is this the name of a ‘country’, or is it the name of this planet?’

Seeing Jeong-min pondering, Hoe-ju smiled and said,

“I only wish for one thing. That is to help me finish [Trial of the Gods].”

Jeongmin and Leah looked at each other for a while.

After exchanging suspicious glances, Jeong-min said to Hoe-ju.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. Shouldn’t [Trial of the Gods] be over?”

Hoeju answered Jeongmin’s question.

“Since they said they were from another continent, I knew how to say that. It is common sense that wherever you are, you will work hard to finish the [Trial of the Gods].

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

But… there is no such common sense here. Because this is a place where the [Trial of the Gods] is not going on purposely.”

“..?”

Jeongmin and Leah’s eyes widened.

Leah frowned and said to Hoeju.

“Uh… I don’t understand. You didn’t deliberately proceed with the [Trial of the Gods]?”

At the words of Leah, who asked in a ridiculous tone, Hoeju smiled bitterly and said.

“Deliberately…” may not be the right word for it. Rather than intentionally, it would be more accurate to say that I just gave up.”

“You gave up?”

“You seem to have more and more questions. I’ll tell you all. But I haven’t heard an answer about accepting my terms. Could you answer me first?”

After Jeong-min looked at Leah, he said to Hoe-joo.

“Well, there’s nothing I can’t answer. Of course, I’ll do my best to finish the [Trial of the Gods]. That’s why I came here in the first place.”

Hoeju laughed in satisfaction at Jeongmin’s answer.

“Thank you. Then I’ll tell you what you want. If you have any questions, ask.”

Jung-min thought for a moment and asked the most curious question first.

“Among what you said earlier, there was a story about giving up on [Trial of the Gods]. Please tell us about that.”

The lord nodded and said.

“That’s what you’re most curious about. Literally, the [Trial of the Gods] here has been suspended for years. Destroying the gate is forbidden.”

“Forbidden? Who forbade the destruction of the gate?”

There was an aura of anger in Hoeju’s eyes.

“.. The Thousand People.”

It was an answer that gave off a gnashing, growling feeling.

Jung-min asked Hoe-ju, feeling the atmosphere sinking.

“The Thousand People’s Association? The organization that we brought in, Yu Ji-kwang, is a member of the Thousand People’s Society, right? You mean they banned the destruction of the gate there? Why?”

As if swallowing the rising anger, Hoe-ju took a deep breath and calmed down before speaking again.

“The external reason is the destruction of other continents. ‘The act of trying to end the [Trial of the Gods] by destroying the Gate will only lead to destruction. Look at the other continents. Didn’t they perish after fighting the Gate for a long time? We are We need to know the true meaning of the ‘God’ who gave [God’s Trial]. ‘God’ doesn’t want to end [God’s Trial] by destroying the gate.

He chose us as attendants to live with the Gate and carry out [God’s trials] forever!’ That’s why they came up with it.”

Jung-min opened his mouth and looked at Hoe-joo with an expression of absurdity.

Leia was also looking at Hoe-ju with her brow furrowed.

“No… You said the gate was forbidden to be destroyed for a pseudo-religion or something like that?”

Hoju nodded and said.

“It’s just a reason that was put forward on the surface. The true intentions are different.”

“What do you mean by true intention?”

“they..”

Houju paused for a moment and let out a light sigh.

“They are already satisfied with the present. They have learned how to live comfortably without risking their lives to destroy the gate.”

“…”

“In addition, they were terrified of seeing other continents that were nearly destroyed while fighting the Gate. The fear that if we continued to destroy the Gate, we would follow the same path as them gripped them.”

“Is that why you gave up on capturing the gate and [Trial of the Gods]?”

The ruler silently nodded his head.

“Sigh..”

Jeongmin sighed and asked again.

“No, then what should I do? How can I live comfortably without destroying the gate?”

“I’m talking about how to catch monsters scouting around the gate, supply gold, and use that gold to buy various items or food from the store to live without lacking. Food and other things are very cheap… And anyway, monsters They don’t stray far from the surroundings, so if you settle down in a suitable location, you won’t be invaded.”

“No, that’s just a day or two. I don’t think monsters will come out of the gate indefinitely, right?”

“That’s why they forbid the destruction of the gate. If the gate is left unattended for a long time, the monsters will form a village on their own and even reproduce, increasing the number. They must have thought that in that way they would be able to live peacefully and easily forever. There is no need to risk and destroy the gate to end the [Trial of the Gods].”

“her..”

Jeongmin and Leah made faces full of energy.

Leah shook her head and said.

“That’s why the [Trial of the Gods] has been going on for 14 years… Because there was no will to end it.”

“exactly”

“But how do you know exactly what the Celestial Council is all about?”

Hoeju was silent at Jeongmin’s question.

Hoeju, who was staring at the empty space as if thinking deeply, spoke as if sighing.

“That’s because I was the vice president of the Celestial Society. That’s why I know the details so well.”

“…!!”

When Jung-min and Leah looked at each other in surprise, Hoe-ju smiled bitterly and said,

“Are you surprised? That’s understandable. The person who was said to be the vice-member of the Celestial Council is now the head of a group that opposes the Celestial Council…”

The man who was the former vice president of the Cheonji Association and the current owner of the Jeongrim Branch let out a deep sigh.

“All of the things I mentioned earlier. These are all things that happened when I was a member of the Cheoninhoe. When I heard the plan to give up [Trial of the Gods] proposed by the head of the Heavenly Man, I opposed it. To judge the [Trial of the Gods] arbitrarily and think of being together forever. there was no

No, what on earth do you believe in [Trial of the Gods] and think of being together forever? What a stupid plan!”

As if indignant, Hoe-joo held up the cooled teacup and drank it down.

Taang.

Hoeju, who put the teacup down roughly on the table, said in an excited voice.

“Also, there was not a single thought about the non-Awakened in that plan. There was not a single thought about those who were doing all the dirty work of the Awoken in hopes of ending the [Trial of the Gods] as quickly as possible. I mean!

The plans I heard earlier about catching monsters around the gate to supply gold and purchasing necessary items for living are possible only for the Awakened.

Then what about the non-awakened who make up most of the remaining humans? what do they say! In the end, the only thing they can count on is the Awoken. They are forced to do anything unjust to get a handful of food. Do you know what he said when I told him about it?

‘They are destined to live like our slaves anyway. We just need to pamper them and toss them some food from time to time instead. Come to think of it, when the [Trial of the Gods] is over, so many slaves that can be handled easily will disappear! Do you want a world like that?’

Hearing that, I felt that I could no longer be there. So, I came out of the Celestial Society with Awoken people who agreed with me and countless non-Awakened people.

The road out wasn’t smooth, but there’s no need to talk about it. Anyway, that’s how I created the Jeongrim branch here, and I’m still fighting to end the [Trial of the Gods]. It means you’re fighting not only the Gate, but also the Celestial Society.”

Hoeju, who spoke quickly, took a deep breath as if out of breath.

As if he had calmed down a bit, he continued to speak calmly.

“The remaining non-Awakened members of the Celestial Society are living a life unbecoming a human. They are in a position to accept all the unreasonable demands of the Awakened in order to receive food to survive the day. They live like that, and one day the Awakened will [Trial of the Gods] “

“that..”

“Besides, they are frantic to find the Junglim branch that opposes their ideas. We are aiming to destroy the gate and rescue non-Awakened people, so it must be a prick. Most people get caught and die after being questioned about the location of the headquarters. That’s why we don’t send people to the outside unless we’re at the rank of captain.”

Hoeju picked up an empty teacup, confirmed that there was no tea, and put it back down on the floor.

“Now, do you understand the general situation? The Junglim branch aims to destroy the Gate to end the [Trial of the Gods], and the Tenjin Society gives up on the [Trial of the Gods] and wants to wipe out the Jeongrim Branch who is trying to destroy the gate.”

“It must have been difficult.”

Hoe-ju shook his head at Jeong-min’s words of regret.

“What can I do? It’s the path I chose. The problem is that it’s difficult to get food because I’m hiding in a place like this. You have to attack the gate to get gold and buy food, but the Celestial Society watches most of the gates. I see you’re doing…”

After hearing Hoeju’s words, Leah finally understood that Jang Chun-bok urged her to leave after destroying the A-class gate.

“However, how can we not be happy when two extremely strong people said that they would work together to destroy the gate?

Such a grateful encounter. It makes me think that maybe there really is such a thing as ‘God’.”

Houju said with a smile.

When Jung-Min smiles at you and tries to say something

Kwaaang!

There was a huge bang coming from outside.

An urgent cry followed by a loud bell.

“It’s an assault!”
