Faith Life of a Former Scammer

094. Heavenly life is twisted

The king who tried to trick Leon.

I decided to decide how to treat him after hearing the story.

“First, start with a story.”

The king opened his mouth with a nervous face.

“As you know, our members have an eye for trends.”

Eyes that see the flow.

As expected, it was as Leon thought.

“Others see the wind flow and deal with it, but I am different.”

As long as others use the flow of the wind.

“I see the flow of all kinds of things. You can see thoughts, winds, and even the flow of the world.”

He was even watching the flow of the world.

“We, the Join tribe, were riding the trend of decline. I thought this was the flow of the world that could not be changed.”

“Has there been a change?”

“Yes. The flow that came out of nowhere changed the flow of the world.”

It was quite predictable what it was.

‘Because I changed it. Of course it’s my story.’

Leon brought a new flow.

“I was very curious about where that sudden flow came from and how it changed.”

Curious, he moved right away.

“So, I went back and researched the flow. of course. I couldn’t see everything.”

“Looks like there’s a limit?”

“I think it is a natural thing rather than a restriction. Observing all the currents in the world is impossible.”

It was as it was said. It was the ability of a god that was no different from omniscience.

“Did you see something?”

Because he saw something, he was waiting for Leon.

“Yes. I saw.”

His eyes trembled as he said he saw them. It seemed that he had seen something rather shocking.

“It’s okay if you speak slowly. Let me help you.”

[Skill: Consolation is activated.]

Leon comforted him and radiated divine power to care for his body and mind.

His expression, which had been hardened, changed to a more relaxed expression.

“thank you. It feels like my head is clear.”

After a short thank you.

The real story began.

“I saw a huge current fighting that I couldn’t tell the end of the current of the priest. It was such a huge and overwhelming flow.”

A huge flow fighting Leon.

‘This information comes from here?’

This was the flow of darkness.

“Please tell me the story in detail.”

“… … What I saw was real. Do you know what you are fighting right now?”

He was taken aback by Leon’s reaction.

“I don’t know who he is, and I don’t know who he is. I just move on thinking I’m blocking his plans even a little bit.”

It wasn’t just the plan.

I took advantage of it as well.

“Did you judge me as a person?”

However, he said something strange.

“What does that mean?”

“It is too huge and heterogeneous to be a flow that humans or other races have.”

“sure?”

“I thought that wasn’t the will of the world.”

will of the world.

It meant the flow of the world.

“Everything that happens now is the will of the world?”

“Yes. I think so.”

“Did you see what the purpose of that great flow was?”

“I didn’t see it until there.”

He made such a judgment because he did not know the purpose of the darkness.

According to his prediction, the will of the world is to wish for its destruction.

“It won’t be.”

“Yes?”

Of course, this was his mistake.

It was a judgment made with only fragmentary information.

Leon had proof of that.

“There is no sign of him at all. Someone met him.”

“… … Is it really?”

“Yes. Only once.”

Darkness met with the sage.

This was clear evidence.

“Wait. So you thought of me as someone fighting against the will of the world?”

“That’s right.”

“Could it be that you were trying to make friends with a person who fights against the will of the world?”

“… … .”

He didn’t answer and made a fuss.

‘This is a really fun guy.’

What if you’ve found a hero that won’t exist again, but it’s impossible to recruit him?

There is only one way.

It is to become friends and stand on an equal footing.

‘Should I call this bold, or should I call it a remodel?’

The king wore a mask of arrogance and arrogance in order to befriend Leone.

“like. I get it roughly.”

Situation assessment is over.

“So what were you trying to do by being friends?”

“… … Well. You are the one who will block the will of the world unequally. Little by little help, what to say, friends who help each other? I thought about the degree.”

For a moment, Leon was surprised and asked back.

“Wait. Are you blocking it equally? Aren’t I overpowering?”

“Yes. You removed the large currents, but you did not stop the small ones at all.”

This was unexpected.

I thought that Leon was crushing all the plans of the black magic and sucking them up like a tiger.

‘No. If you think about it, this is the only plan prepared by the Darkness.’

But, that wasn’t it.

‘There are many other plans of this guy.’

Fortunately, it was at least equal.

Leon made a quick decision.

“like. We are friends.”

“Yes?”

He was surprised as if he hadn’t expected Leon to come out like this.

However, I was surprised for a while.

His expression strangely changed.

“What’s wrong?”

“… … It’s because my flow is strangely twisted.”

It was natural.

Although he mistook Leone for a great hero who would not exist again in the world.

‘I’m a cheater.’

Leon was not a hero.

If you become friends with a con artist, it was only natural that your life would be twisted.

‘Have you seen such a stupid man?’

Even if he was tricked by him into becoming a friend, it wouldn’t be a loss to Rion.

‘The intentions are impure, but my intentions are more impure.’

Leon smiled kindly.

“Become friends with me fighting against the huge current. Wouldn’t it be natural for the flow to get tangled?”

“… … Hmm. I don’t think it’s like that.”

If not, he had no choice.

“You know? What can I change the flow. What is a good friend? Even if it gets twisted, I will untie it.”

“Oh, that’s right too.”

Leon held out his hand.

“Nice to meet you, friend.”

“uh. Well. okay. friend.”

Welcome to the new Hogunim!

The situation was quickly sorted out.

“As I said before, I want you to be the king of this region. How about it?”

“I can help with the trade. However, being the ruler of this region is difficult.”

Trade is accepted.

Refuse to be the ruler.

It was half consent.

“You thought it wasn’t a bad suggestion?”

“I know. It’s annoying, but it’s normal. That’s not why I turned it down.”

“then?”

He pointed his finger at the ceiling.

“There are a few things I can’t see the flow for, and one of them is the flow over the cliff.”

“… … what? What the hell is it?”

This was new information.

“I don’t know. I don’t want to know, and I shouldn’t even know.”

“Could it be that the Join tribe is guarding this cliff?”

Come to think of it, it wasn’t the lack of land, but living on a cliff was strange.

“right. We are guarding it from going up or down from the middle of the cliff.”

“I understand going up, but what do you mean you won’t let me come down?”

It meant there was something on top of the cliff.

“If there is a distortion of the current on the cliff, we will mobilize. Remove that twisted flow and stop it from coming down.”

“What if I leave that twisted current alone?”

“Something will come down.”

I wasn’t even curious about what it was.

Curiosity kills the cat.

There was nothing good to know about such a thing.

“great. You mean you can help with trade, though?”

“yes. Actually, that’s what we want to ask. Inside the cliffs, supplies are always in short supply.”

Even if the ecosystem was nestled within this cliff, it was natural that it was not abundant.

“I thought it was extremely efficient.”

“Efficiency for survival.”

Leon nodded.

“ah. And, can you make regular rounds of patrols? It’s a rocky area, so I think I’ll just have to look at it from the sky.”

“Of course. That much is no problem.”

“great. I will listen to the details, but I also have something I want to ask you.”

He knew what Leon’s request was.

“You want to see other streams?”

“right.”

“Like I said, I can’t see everything.”

“it’s okay. Because I know that much. You only need to look at something big enough to notice.”

I had to think realistically.

If the little things can’t be prevented, this side only harvests the big things.

“I’m going with your flow. So there is no choice but to be uncertain.”

“Because it’s okay. Just watch.”

Heaven held the key to the next destination.

“Oh, by the way, my flow has been twisted since earlier. Do you think there is a problem with this?”

“Ugh! Stop talking nonsense and look at the flow quickly!”

“ah. It’s strange.”

The king of the join tribe, the sky.

The opening of the era of great trade did not mean that there was only a hopeful future.

“Stop! Stop it!”

“Hey, this place is hell!”

“Oh God!”

“Kwoaa!!”

There was always a risk in breaking new trade routes. Outside the realm of the empire was unknown territory.

Where there is hell, there is also heaven.

“Crook. human. Let’s trade!”

“Orcs. Come and see! Lots of good stuff!”

“Our leather is good!”

“It’s wheat from the southern region of the empire. You have no idea how delicious it is.”

A miracle of trading high-quality leather with old food has occurred.

After going through countless hardships, he made a lot of money if he succeeded in trading.

Continents began to change.

“I heard that the Celun Merchants made profits over 100 times this time?”

“They say that the built top lord prefers to buy a noble title rather than buy it.”

As the top stocks earned a huge amount of gold, they began to gain strength.

“Hey guys, it’s not just the top stocks that make money. The mercenaries are also making a fuss about making huge profits!”

“Are you talking about the mercenaries belonging to the expedition?”

Explorers and mercenaries who pioneered trade routes also enjoyed enormous gold and honor.

However, thanks to the new era, there were others who earned gold.

[The imperial political world is infested with the election of the lord of the temporary city!]

empire and nobility.

[Cultivation of the Southern Rock Zone of the Church of Dawn! How do they trade!]

[Cult of Earth Pioneering the northern region! ‘Arthur’ Who is he!?]

[Cult of the Sun pioneers the northwest region! Acquisition of special information about the merits of the saintess candidate!]

Dawn, Earth, Sun. three denominations.

[The Church of Hidden Merit in the Great Trade Era. Priests are essential for trade!]

Even other denominations that have not pioneered trade routes.

They were quietly enjoying the benefits of the era of great trade.

while the world changes.

Leone was in a place that was neither within the empire nor outside the territory of the empire.

“Are you really here?”

in the middle of the sea.

Leon was sitting on a marble.

“I believe, Heaven!”

With those words, Leon held a small stone in his hand and threw it into the sea.

“come! My fishy friends!”

The next destination was the sea.

‘Look at the scale of the black man.’

An ocean as big as a continent.

There was something here.
