Chapter 129 Innocent or not, the final judgment rests with…
Mainkuhn found the way Kave was looking at him very strange.
Fortunately, he has now received the injection, so no matter what kind of look he gets, it won't bother him.
"Don't I look better than before? You should be happy."
"Where's the good part?! It's so eerie and scary, isn't it??"
Kavi bristled wildly behind Elhesen, his fingertips moving between the syringe and Mainkuhn.
"What's going on with you?! What's wrong with you?!"
"What's wrong with me? I'm perfectly normal."
Mainkuhn didn't think he had done anything wrong; in fact, he enjoyed the time when his tear ducts stopped working, and he freely let himself go.
"Kavi, take off your pants."
"……What???"
"Pants."
He patted his thigh, the fabric of which had been torn to shreds by his claws in his agitation, revealing large patches of pale skin.
"Mine is too worn out, lend me yours."
"Huh? Huh?? Wait, you, you—"
Kavi had never seen Mainkun in this state before. Last time, he was 'banished' to the desert by a cat in fear, and the result was good and the process went smoothly, so his understanding of the Wrathful King was incomplete.
“You Sumeru people never wear shirts, so you must be fine without bottoms too.”
So, faced with the suddenly mutated little guy, he could only clutch his belt in terror.
"Elheisen! He's possessed! Elheisen!"
"..."
"?"
As he cried for help, Mainkun suddenly felt a terrifying gaze piercing the back of his head.
Turning around, he saw it was Al-Hysen, holding the empty syringe that Nasita had picked up, his eyes fixed on him.
Why are you looking at me like that?
Mainkuhn glared back.
Al-Hysen's gaze at him became even more terrifying, he concluded.
"The situation in Xumi is extremely precarious."
"?"
Whether it was my imagination or not, I could faintly detect a hint of annoyance in Mainkun's calm voice.
"?"
The two humans had such strange looks in their eyes that Mainkun didn't want to look anymore, so he went to find a familiar god.
"Nasita, about Kusela...!"
He met the god's sorrowful eyes directly.
"so…"
Nasita barely suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced herself to appear calm, but the trembling in her voice betrayed everything.
"So... there were never two personalities, right?"
"All your peace and tranquility are stolen by the potion, aren't they?"
"..."
Avoiding her gaze, Mainkuen looked at Kavi.
"Care, consideration, respect, understanding, okay! I'm ready."
Kavi gripped his trousers, his face grave, as if he had made a very difficult decision.
"If this makes you feel better, I'm willing..."
No.
Mainkuhn ignored him and looked at Elhesen.
"well."
Al-Hysen was writing furiously in his notebook, glancing at him silently every now and then.
"well."
He sighed repeatedly, as if mourning something important.
...
Mainkuhn then turned his gaze to Nasita.
"Ugh..."
Her light green eyes welled up with tears.
“Vana…”
"stop."
Mainkuhn thought this was unacceptable, absolutely unacceptable.
I've been behaving so normally lately, and not only did no one congratulate me, but everyone seemed to be in a state of utter despair.
This won't do! Maine decided to do something and asked Al Heisenberg:
"Where is the location of the God-King's Relic that you discovered?"
Elheisen glanced at him, "Go west for 120 kilometers, turn south at the second intersection in the dried-up riverbed, and then pass through..."
"good."
With a simple reply, Mainkun leaned against the carriage and suddenly stretched out his hand!
call--
Suddenly, like an autumn wind rising from flat ground, a tornado roared, and black fog filled the sky, obscuring the sun.
"Neigh!"
"What's going on!?"
Horses neighed, people screamed, and Mainkuhn concentrated his mind, conjuring up his accumulated malice into substance. Dark tentacles descended from the sky, grabbing the carriage like a giant grabbing a doll!
Of course, this is much more difficult than indirectly controlling water through emotions, but what can you do when there is no sea in the desert?
"Everyone, hold on tight!"
"..."
Darkness enveloped the carriage, yet it was illuminated by the dense grass element. Elhesen strained to look out, seeing the space distorted and the scenery rushing by, as well as the blurry, color-blocked yellow sand desert below.
They are flying at incredibly high speeds at low altitudes!
Snap!
"Everyone, be happy, because we have arrived at the Relic Station of the God-King."
"Wow!"
With a crisp sound and a station announcement, the black fog stopped abruptly, and Kavi fell to the ground with a thud, staring blankly up at Mainkuhn, who remained standing.
What?
The legacy of the God-King?
You mean a journey that should have taken six days, you arrived in just a few minutes?
"Hahaha, very good, take back your sympathetic looks."
Mainkun was pleased with Elhesen's slightly widened eyes, Nasita's helpless facepalm, and even more pleased with Kavi's shock. He then waved his finger-snapping hand at them.
Those arms were slender, withered, and covered with scars and marks, yet they also contained the hardest bones in the world.
“If I were truly an incompetent weakling, I would never have come before you.”
After speaking, he slowly stood up and, with his extremely weak body, stepped out of the carriage.
"State your name!"
Outside the vehicle, mercenaries were already densely packed together, gripping long swords and bows tightly in their hands, watching the cat-eared boy who had appeared warily.
"Who are you... Ah!!!"
Dark tentacles shot out with a thunderous roar, binding him and his presumptuous cries. Mainkun grabbed him and examined his face.
"It's not Kucera, throw it away."
*Smack*
With a flick of the tentacle, a screaming tick appeared on the sand.
"My, my legs! Oh my gosh!"
"Kusela, Kusela".
Mainkuhn paid no heed and called out to the fleeing traitor in his soft, slow voice.
The mercenaries were terrified, and many of them talked nonsense.
"Are you a spirit suppressing demons? Or are you a vengeful spirit of the Great Tree King?!"
"Why must we oppose the legacy of the God-King?! Aaaaah!"
Mainkun stood unperturbed amidst the horror and fear, sending them flying one by one.
"What about Kucera? Didn't he say he was one of your members?"
By the time he'd had enough and wanted to ask questions, there weren't many people left who could speak normally.
"Why can't I see it?"
"The archives hold all your answers."
Al-Hysen jumped out of the car with his notebook tucked under his arm and offered this suggestion.
"Ah, it's a long way to go."
Walking into the archives at a pace several times slower than normal, Mainkun was glad no one tried to help him. There he found out all the answers and also found the man who had been beaten black and blue.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Kusela was overjoyed, looking at the king and the people behind him.
"You...you didn't come here specifically to save me, did you?!"
The king remained silent; his lovely mask was stained with blood, and his beautiful eyes were as unfocused as dusk.
"Kuseira, Kuseira, you failed to blow up the headquarters, you must be very sad."
"Ah, yes..."
Kucera gave a wry smile.
"I was too hasty, and as a result, those beasts from the Legacy of the God-King discovered me..."
"Kusela, Kusela".
Wang did not listen to the explanation; his voice was flat and strange.
"It must have been very painful when you decided to escape from the Order House."
[Mainkuhn, Mainkuhn.]
[It must have been incredibly painful to decide to escape from Fontainebleau.]
"Ah, yes."
The father quietly wiped away his tears.
"My daughter was furious when she found out I had gone back to the desert, blaming me for betraying her good intentions..."
"Kusela, Kusela".
Mainkun felt something was wrong with him, but it shouldn't be a problem since he had already received the injection.
"You must be very happy when you pass the exam."
[You must have been happy to receive care and attention from your older brother.]
Although she didn't understand why she had to answer so many questions, Kousela honestly recalled the joy she felt at the time:
"Yes... Your Majesty... I never imagined I could surpass those scholars in this lifetime!"
"So, you must really regret it."
[...]
"……What?"
"You regret the murder you committed when you were young and reckless. Evidence of six lives was used as a leash to tether you."
"You...you knew everything!"
Kucera screamed in terror, then immediately covered her aching wound and confessed:
"Yes, I regret it. If I hadn't gone all out and had just given those bastards a beating, instead of committing an unforgivable crime, I could be living a glorious life in the rainforest with Dixia right now... Good heavens! How could a roughneck like me have known there was a political vetting process before becoming an official!"
"Ah, you regret it too? That's right. The endless joy that should have been interrupted by your own mistakes is something anyone should cry about."
Feeling a little dizzy, was it because I'd been starving for too long? Mainkuen shook his ears and posed one last painful question.
"Do you still want to be an instructor, Kucera?"
[Do you still want to go back to before things happened, Mainkuhn?]
Kucera: !!! !!!
He really wanted to!
Once he becomes an official, he can live with dignity and no longer have to live a life of constant worry and hardship. Oh, and there's also Dixia, she can become the daughter of an official, what a glamorous young lady!
"Could it be...could it be..."
He couldn't suppress his hope and looked at Mainkuhn expectantly.
"You're willing..."
"But you can't."
With the most cruel, ruthless, and brutal intent, Mainkuen spoke these words to Kucera, his heart filled with a destructive desire.
[But you can't.]
"People who have committed crimes cannot become officials; this is a basic rule."
[...]
He stared calmly at Kucera for a moment, then tears welled up in his aging eyes, flowing down and dripping onto the ground.
"Let's go."
He turned to look at the two people and the god, and gave instructions for the next task.
"His daughter probably doesn't know about these things yet, remember to notify her to pick him up."
...
They stood in the shadows, and no one answered.
"Why aren't you saying anything? This shouldn't be a difficult job."
Damn it!
Unable to hold on any longer, Kavi stepped forward and firmly grabbed the half-demon's arm.
"you."
Al-Hysen followed suit, his voice unusually trembling, and they asked the question simultaneously.
"Can't you feel yourself crying?!"
"Can't you feel yourself crying?"
Hmm.
Mainkun touched his mask in bewilderment, and found it to be damp.
Looking down again, I realized there were even more teardrops on my feet than on Kousela's.
"That's strange, I didn't feel any sadness at all."
The medication is working properly, hmm.
"Idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot, idiot! Big idiot!"
Nasita couldn't take it anymore. She stomped her feet frantically, then twisted around and grabbed Kusela's bloodstained hands.
Don't listen to him!
Soft as water, and ferocious as a beast, they clasped together, as distinct as the sea and the land. Naxi Da shouted loudly, and a divine oracle descended from the sky.
"In the name of the gods of grass, trees, love, and wisdom, I pronounce judgment upon all people: Kucera! Kucera who killed to protect! Kucera who retained his true self even within an evil organization! Kucera who raised abandoned children!"
"Innocent! Reinstated to your original position! Effective immediately!"
