Chapter 429 – Civilization Kills Faith (1)

Civilization kills faith.

In the case of the Middle Ages, most people believed in God and had religious beliefs, but in the case of modern people, only half of them believe in God.

Even among those who believe in God, there are few who sincerely believe that God exists. There are far more people who understand that religion is a tool to easily rule people and a device that gives people comfort.

All because civilization has developed.
After the Industrial Revolution, just as Nietzsche killed God.
Do-jin hoped that the people of this world would bring down the god with their own hands.

“It’s been a while. Mr. Dojin.”

Elena Pradio, the queen of Dojin’s kingdom, smiled at Dojin with a graceful smile.

In just a few months, she threw off her little girlish tee and took on her queenly look at her.

Sat down on the sofa in her living room, she smiled as she looked at the car that had been driven by Seol.

“Thanks. Mr. Maid.”

Then she immediately lifted her teacup, and her minister who followed her looked at her queen in awe, but her queen drank her tea casually.

Seeing this, the chancellor jumped at the queen with the flagship.

“Queen! It may have been poisoned…… !”

“Oh, do you really think that Dojin-nim will kill me?”

“…… Don’t you know? In the first place, the fact that a mere adventurer, Nabu-raeng, went directly to call the queen…….”

The chancellor said that and gossiped about Dojin. Do-jin, who saw that, looked at her queen with her mouth open as if it were amazing.

“I guess you really hid all my information?”
“Sure. As Dojin-nim asked, we made sure that no one in our kingdom knew Dojin-nim.”
“Good job. Shall I stroke you?”
“Really?”

Her queen held out her head without hesitation, and Dojin stroked her head casually. The chancellor, who was watching the scene from her side of her, looked at the two of them with an expression as if she didn’t know what the hell was going on.

Do-jin, who thought that teasing the prime minister too much was not good, gave her a small smile and told her to tell her who she was. Only then did the queen tell the chancellor the true identity of Dojin.

“This is Dojin-nim…… You are the father of the country who saved my life before and put me in the position of queen.”

“Okay, what kind of wealth is that…….”

Looking at the chancellor looking at him as if he had never heard of it, Dojin burst out laughing. She didn’t have to whine about the Wealth of Nations.

A true powerful person does not shout that he is a powerful person. Because it doesn’t have to be. Do-jin just sat there without saying anything, but Gasin felt something from Do-jin in his natural attitude to her.

The queen, who was leisurely drinking her teacup, thought it was time to get to the point, and looked at Dojin.

“So, Dojin-nim. Why did you call me?”
“I have a favor to ask you.”
“Like.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me what it is?”
“Even if it is a request to sell the country… If it’s Dojin-nim’s request, I have to do it.”

Do-jin laughed, saying, “Isn’t it too pretentious?

Seeing that, the queen tilted her head and looked at the map.

“What is this?”
“It’s a railroad.”
“A railroad…… I’m not sure what.”
“I mean, it’s like a carriage made of steel…….”

Do-jin explained in detail the train information he knew. It is a super-giant transportation vehicle that can carry hundreds of wagons as well as people.

I’m trying to spread this across the country, and beyond, all over the world, so please give me some money.

The chancellor, who wondered why he had been called, opened his eyes and shook his head as he heard Dojin’s story.

“No. Queen. If you pour your money into such an uncertain business…….”

“Prime Minister. Did you forget what I said earlier?”

“… Even if it’s a request to sell the country, he’ll do it-“

“No, earlier than that.”

The queen looked at the chancellor and smiled lightly.

“You already said you would? Then it’s decided. Do it. We do not accept objections.”

“However……!”

“Prime Minister. Are you going to make me say it twice?”

At those words, the chancellor bit his mouth tightly. The queen, Elena Pradio, survived even after the deaths of her parents and siblings, was the founding queen who resurrected the overthrown country, and was the iron-blooded queen who mercilessly cut off her enemies.

The chancellor, who had seen firsthand what happened to those who disobeyed her and was hit by her blood her, could never go against her words her.

The queen, who lightly subdued her chancellor, looked at Dojin and asked.

“How much will it be?”
“Well… That’s right. Then lightly……”

Dojin pointed to the map and said.

“Let’s lay railroads across the country.”

* * *

No matter how prosperous it may be, it was not possible to carry out tasks such as laying railroads throughout the country without any conditions.

The chancellor at least said that she wanted to see with her own eyes how useful the railroad was.

Dojin smiled lightly and nodded that she understood. There was no train made right away, but by using magic, alchemy, and various cheat abilities, I was able to make a train that looked good.

The chancellor, who climbed on the train made in haste, looked at Dojin with an unreliable expression.

“…… Do you really want a wagon this size to move?”
“Then. Anything bigger than this moves.”

Even a train several kilometers long was moving, and Do-jin, who said that no matter how impatiently he made it, there was no way this small train would stop moving, went forward and started the train.

There was no railroad for the train to move on, but it wasn’t a big problem since Seoyoon, who rode in the front, could make a railroad that would fit the train in real time.

Seol and Hwa-ah poured magic stones into the engine, and the engine that was supplied with magic stones began to move with the characteristic sound of a train.

“Ooh, move!?”
“… Oh my, it really is.”

As the train departed, the queen and the prime minister, who were sitting in their seats, looked out the window in amazement. The train, which had been moving very slowly, started running at a speed that exceeded that of the carriage in an instant.

At first, it shook a little, but soon after that even the shaking disappeared- I realized that the chancellor and the queen were a means of transportation that was not too bad, if not worse than the royal carriage.

“…… I have a question. Father of the country.”

“What?”

“Really……If you really lay a railroad, can you run at this speed anytime, anywhere? A train this size?”

“Then. It needs maintenance and maintenance, but it needs to be maintained.”

They were people from another world who did not have the technical knowledge of managing trains, but it didn’t matter much. I believe that sooner or later you will understand how trains run, and that you will become more knowledgeable about trains than Dojin.

Even more so, they had the Muan Sweet Water called magic. A magic that can clean the dirt stuck in the wheel or engine without having to go all the way to the inside.

Looking out the window, the chancellor thought of people and soldiers moving on trains.

The upward movement will develop rapidly, and soldiers will be able to be sent all over the country where railroads are laid.

Centralization is strengthened, and tax revenues increase.

“…… I never thought this would be possible.”

The chancellor looked at Do-jin, confirming that the limits of mankind are endless. What the hell is this man, for what purpose does he obediently present such a thing?

It’s full of unknown things, but this one thing was certain.

The fact that this man is the one who will further revive the kingdom or destroy it altogether.

“Oh right.”
“What is it?”
“I forgot this.”

Do-jin laughed awkwardly and said something he hadn’t said before.

“The state religion should be our level up school.”

Watching Do-jin talk about apostasy casually, the chancellor was convinced that it would be the latter.

* * *

Volunteer activities and welfare using the saints are increased, and the civilization of the entire country is raised to lower the faith…….

Dojin didn’t think these things were meaningless, but he didn’t just focus on this.

In the end, the only thing he could trust in the end was this body, and among them, only a sword wielded with both arms could be the support to protect Dojin.

So while he was ignorantly swinging his sword as usual, Do-jin saw his peripheral vision when he suddenly turned white.

To be precise, it was dyed in black and white deprived of color.

‘This again…….’

This is a phenomenon I have seen several times since reaching level 4. A phenomenon in which the overactive brain excludes information called color to find room.

A world of seekers, away from reality.

In this world, Do-jin was only swung as a sword.

‘Ah…….’

Suddenly, I stopped thinking, just swinging, swinging-.
Become a blade that cuts through everything in the world.
I can’t tell the difference between me and the sword.
I, I…….

‘Come.’

Enter the jet-black world beyond the black and white world. In this world that doesn’t even accept light, the only thing left is you and the other person.

A world that can only be glimpsed by those who have seen the extremes of the sword. In this world, Dojin faced the main god created by imagination.

Since he had never met that being, he had the strongest opponent he had ever met—and even that lacked, filling in the lack of strength with his imagination.

Cut
Swing

Paaang-!

“Ah…”

Do-jin, who was distracted by the sound of the air bursting and passing, looked blankly at the surroundings.

A single long sword scar remained in the air.
Beyond that, a black background was drawn that looked like it symbolized the universe.

When Do-jin, who was fascinated by the hole, stretched out his hand without realizing it, the hole closed by itself and disappeared.

“…… Just that.”

Do-jin realized that she had slashed her dimension.
So, she was able to open the portal to heaven.
