Faith Life of a Former Scammer

073. Why I Became My Father’s Son

Leon was not simply imitating his son.

Persuasion, consolation, training. He continued to use the three powers while with the king.

‘I did use it a bit too much.’

It was a choice to become more than a son to the king.

The result was unfolding before Leon’s eyes.

“Son, you were watching our hearts all the time.”

Leon looked up at the large pillar in front of him and said.

“I had no idea. I thought it was simply a pillar supporting the cave.”

“That is also true. But that is only a small part.”

A large pillar in the center of the city.

Leon thought it was just a big pillar supporting the cave.

But, it wasn’t.

This pillar was the heart of the Dwarves.

“Follow me.”

“Yes, Father.”

The king led Leon inside the pillar.

The entry process was not easy.

‘How many security devices are there?’

The key hanging from the king’s neck.

ring on hand.

A blood recognizing device.

.

.

Disengaging the layers of security, the king led Leone inside.

‘As you think. There’s no way the dwarves’ security is lax.’

The choice to become the king’s son was the correct answer. If it wasn’t for the status of a prince, it wouldn’t have been easy to enter this place.

When we were almost inside, the king opened his mouth.

“When I explained the history, I gave a brief explanation of this place. Do you remember?”

“Yes. father. He explained that it is a device that uses the power of lava flowing under the ground.”

“You remember it well.”

The king looked at Leone proudly and opened the last door.

“Look. How we use that power.”

The secret door opened.

* * *

I felt the hot heat as if I had entered a forge.

‘Isn’t that great?’

It was surprising to feel only this much heat while using the power of lava.

Leon quickly looked around.

‘Hey, isn’t that great?’

Numerous magic circles were drawn on the walls, and they seemed to be shining as if they were still working.

This magic circle was only a small part here.

There was something even more surprising.

A large mechanical device in the center. This mechanical device made up of various gears and unknown devices.

Clap! Clap!

Kiyiing!

Koo Goo Goo!

Every time the magic circle shone, it moved with a stretching sound.

When Leon looked around with a surprised face, the king said with a proud expression.

“This is the crystallization of magic engineering. It is the heart of a dwarf.”

“It’s amazing. I can’t even guess what that device is.”

“Haha, that’s normal. Among us dwarves, there is not even one left who knows everything about this machine.”

He said it proudly, but it was no laughing matter.

‘This was also made in ancient times, so it must be a technology that is now forgotten.’

This meant that they could only be used and never made again.

“How does this work?”

The king answered Leon’s question.

“Do you see the magic circles on the wall? That magic circle absorbs the heat of lava. That heat is transmitted to this heart and it works.”

It was simpler than I thought. The magic circle creates fuel to turn that device.

“Can I check on my own?”

“Rather, I wanted to ask.”

The king readily agreed.

‘It’s been worth the effort so far.’

In addition to Black Hammer’s treatment, Leon was active everywhere with the king.

‘Finding the veins among them was the best.’

While discovering the veins of the new mine, the king made a strange mistake.

‘This child has eyes to see the core of the problem!’

‘King! Legend has it that they are the eyes of an angel!’

‘As expected, he is my son!’

It was thanks to him that I was able to gain this trust.

‘Well, strictly speaking, it’s not something you can see with your eyes in the first place.’

Naturally, Leon did not have that ability.

‘Hey Siri!’

[I will check.]

Magic circles and mechanical devices to Ciri.

‘Bixby!’

[The seventh path is activated!]

The underground lava was left to Bixby.

Divine power and the power of the world tree.

You can check most things with both.

Leon looked around and pretended to check something. I looked around the magic circle and mechanical devices and stared blankly at the ground.

A report came soon after.

[I will report the results of the magic circle check.]

The first start was the magic circle.

‘What do you think? Anything special?’

[There are traces of damage to some parts of the magic circle.]

‘damage? What magic circle was damaged?’

[Fortunately, it was a simple magic circle, so I was able to check it. It was a magic circle that limited output.]

Leon immediately spoke to the king.

“Father, there is a part of the magic circle that has been damaged.”

“You must have seen it. As the kingdom prospered, the device needed more power. Countless dwarves calculated… … .”

There was a lengthy explanation from Wang, but the summary was simple.

‘It means that the output was raised to the maximum output that the device can withstand.’

Questions and answers with the king continued in this way.

[Identified the core of the machine. There is a stone that contains tremendous heat.]

When the information came in, Leone confirmed it to the king. I gathered the necessary materials one by one.

“I see a stone with great power in the mechanism. What is that?”

“Hwajeongseok is a thing. It is a treasure that has absorbed the heat of lava for a long time.”

nucleus of the device.

[The exact mechanism of the device is unknown, but one thing is certain. The power source for this device is not ‘heat’.]

‘It’s not a fever?’

[That’s right. Most of the heat is blown out. It is extremely efficient.]

“This device looks like it’s wearing ill-fitting clothes.”

“Huh. Can you see that? Magic engineering is not a device that turns heat into energy. The ancestors made the best choice according to the situation.”

Why use columns.

When the necessary materials were roughly gathered, Bixby reported the condition of the lava.

[master! I checked the lava in the ground, and this is breathtaking.]

‘Details.’

[It’s exquisitely balanced, but it’s going to explode.]

“Who checks the condition of the lava?”

“… … A state of lava?”

“I wonder if the balance was set this way on purpose.”

“Hmm. Perhaps the device will do the job. How do you do that?”

The king had no idea of the condition of the lava.

It was natural. If he had known, there would be no way he would remain in such a precarious state.

“It is a very close situation.”

“… … Thrilling?”

“That’s right. The precarious balance is clearly visible.”

The king groaned and murmured in a low voice.

“Did the fishmen say it was true?”

In Leon’s head, the situation began to fit like a puzzle.

A fisherman who felt the danger of a volcano erupting.

Dwarves who use devices beyond their power to survive.

It was a conflict of survival for both.

‘This can’t be an agreement.’

At that time, goose bumps all over my body along with a strange sense of incongruity.

“Father, I have a question for you. If the lava in the ground bursts, is there a way to deal with it?”

“When the lava bursts, the heart will stop first. It’s about buying time and escaping.”

If an undersea volcano explodes because of a device, stopping the device could buy them time.

‘But the damage to the extent of destroying the species?’

It was said that if the end of the world was hastened, the fishmen would also have been wiped out.

‘why?’

Fishmen and dwarves were not fools. And yet, suffering such damage meant one thing.

Leon looked up at the ceiling.

‘What if the fish man had the skill to pierce the ground?’

It’s a ridiculous assumption, but does it really make sense?

‘Considering the pattern of darkness, it’s not impossible.’

If the technology was discovered just in time because of the darkness, it would be possible.

‘What if there was a large-scale operation to invade the kingdom while attacking the pillars?’

The pillar is submerged and it becomes impossible to turn off the device. If the volcano erupts then, everyone will die together.

‘I think I assumed the worst, but that’s why I’m more confident.’

The black curtain elaborately designs the incident. As if it was inevitable that such a thing would happen.

The worst happens one after another.

‘All the ingredients are gathered.’

He had already found a way to solve the dwarves’ problem.

But that wasn’t the end.

‘This isn’t the end of solving the dwarf problem.’

I had to move as fast as possible.

‘Let’s settle this from here. Is it Siri?’

With Leon’s words, Siri immediately moved the divine power.

Tremendous divine power emanated from Leon’s body, and angel wings appeared on his back.

First of all, it’s time to finish the story of the king and the prince.

* * *

“Oh, son?”

The sudden change took the king by surprise. Leon replied with a soft smile.

“Father, I think I now understand why I became your son.”

Why did the angel come here?

“I think I now understand why the time I spent with my father was so precious.”

At Leon’s words, the king’s eyes trembled greatly. I wanted to get closer, but my body wouldn’t move.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden, son!”

Leon’s words to the king sounded like goodbye.

“To God who sent me here, this servant earnestly wishes.”

At Leon’s prayer, more divine power poured from his body. Now it was to the extent that it was difficult to see because of the divine power.

“Son! Don’t!”

The king had a hunch that something bad was about to happen. However, completely different words came out of his son’s mouth.

“Give me the strength to defend my father! May your father be safe! Please help me!”

Along with Leon’s words, a strange sound began to be heard.

Kwadeuk-!

Kwadeuk!

Sounds like a wall being cut off. But the sound didn’t matter to the king.

“Son! stop! stop!”

The figure of the son looming in the eyes of the king. Every time the divine power was released, the son was getting younger little by little.

“How important is this! don’t do it! my son!”

“Father, there is no time. It looks like darkness will soon overtake this place.”

“We can overcome it! I am the king of this kingdom! I am your father!”

“sorry. This ugly son never wants to lose his father.”

The king desperately stopped his son, but he did not stop.

Quadd deuk-!

Only the sound of something being cut away became stronger, and only the glimpse of the son’s shape kept getting smaller.

The king intuitively felt that parting was inevitable.

“Father, you have no idea how happy I am to be your son.”

“I was happy too. I enjoyed every time I spent with you.”

Like the shape, the son’s voice also changed.

“Dad, I was so happy to be with you.”

“I love you, my son.”

Tears began to flow from the king’s face.

“Dad!”

“You are my son!”

Like the first time they met, the king and the prince said goodbye.

When the sacred power that filled the pillar disappeared, the king was alone.

* * *

The king wasn’t just sad.

“What my son left behind! You will have to check thoroughly!”

Hearing the results of the investigation, he couldn’t help but shed tears again.

“The output of the magic circle is limited!”

“This is a magic circle that converts heat into other energy!”

“Efficiency has increased significantly!”

“Hey, I can’t even imagine where the hell you got this magic circle from.”

What the son left behind was the ‘future’.

“Son.”

Although all problems were resolved, the Dwarf King felt a deep emptiness.

“O king! I think you should see it with me! The messenger of the fishmen has arrived!”

But God was not cruel.

“hello. A messenger who came on behalf of the fish people. My name is Priest Leon.”

He met another miracle.
