Chapter 1633 – 1633. God’s Atlantis
The districts of [God’s Atlantis] Basically try to maintain good relations with the surrounding districts. Because living alone in the area is very difficult. Therefore, it maintains good relations with other districts as if it were diplomacy.
Relations with other districts are at their worst and isolation makes life difficult. It could be a matter of survival.
But of course there are exceptions. A typical example is the western desert area. The desert area was basically wider than the other areas. But not plentiful It’s barren. So basically, it doesn’t receive attention from other districts.
Trade between zones? Crossing over from other areas to the desert area was rare, except for merchants. Purpose of travel? There may be crazy people in the western outskirts who want to travel to see the desert, but it’s not ‘Area 5,146, Scorpion Desert’ where I am.
So it was very rare for other districts to come into contact like now. It’s been quite some time since I established the Heavenly Demon Church in this desert and dominated the area, but this was the first time that another area officially approached.
Watching the dancers dance, I slowly got up. Perhaps it was because of the lingering lingering feelings, I could hardly lift my feet. When I turn my head, the dancers look at me and smile.
Even a tangible laugh had to be drowned out. Because they were beautiful Her sweat-soaked skin was plump, and her exhaled breath was strange. Originally, I would have jumped into the dancers like diving and had a heavenly time… Now, there are uninvited guests in the area.
I went out of the banquet hall with Enas.
“Perhaps asking for an alliance.”
Said Enas.
It was neither good nor bad. There is little to gain from an alliance.
I went into the throne room. He leaned halfway into a wide, soft chair. The ladies-in-waiting brought wine and fruit. I drank the liquor and fruit that the ladies-in-waiting gave me while touching their breasts and buttocks. I was happy now.
Soon Enas brought messengers from other districts. A white cloth was wrapped around her body. He wasn’t intrigued by himself. It must be to protect your skin from the deadly sunlight of the desert. But I frowned.
“Cheeky things. Will you hide your face from me until the end?”
“I’m sorry, ruler of the scorpion desert. We do not show our face to others. That is our culture and our rules.”
The voice heard from beyond the cloth belonged to a woman. It was also a very soft female voice. That alone made her angry, but she didn’t show it.
“This is my territory. Don’t force your culture and rules on me. If you don’t want to show your face, get out of town like this.”
At my warning, the lions noticed each other. The tallest figure among them let out a small sigh.
“The ruler of the scorpion desert is right. If you come to another district, you have to follow the laws and culture of the other district.”
They slowly untied the cloth covering their faces.
I opened my eyes wide. Because their beauty is above average.
Prominent features, dark brown hair and tanned skin. Most of all, it was their ears that caught my attention. Elongated ears. They were elves, not humans.
“You weren’t human.”
“Does it matter?”
“Not at all.”
I straightened my posture and sent the maids out. I was going to send it back, but I changed my mind.
“Looks like you’re ready to talk. Introduce again I am the Cheonma, the ruler of District 5,146, the Scorpion Desert, and the owner of the Heavenly Demon Cult.”
I touched my face with one hand. Now I’m not wearing a mask. It’s not even my real face. He has changed his face using deceit (SS).
“We are those who follow Area 5,140, the ruler of the desert forest, Callas. I am Helian, the representative of the party. I came to the Heavenly Demon Church under Callas’ command. Heavenly Demon’s reputation is also famous in District 5,140.”
Area 5,140, Desert Forest.
It is an area belonging to the wealthy side of the western desert. As the name suggests, the desert forest grows in the desert. I didn’t know that the inhabitants of the Desert Forest were elves.
‘There are many different types of elves, so it’s not strange.’
Wood elves, aqua elves, night elves, etc. There are elves according to nature. It was not surprising that there were desert elves.
“I haven’t even said goodbye yet. Would you like a glass of cold water?”
“If you give it to me, I will be grateful.”
They didn’t refuse because it is water In this desert, cold water was more expensive than tea. The ladies-in-waiting brought cold water made with ice water. The desert elves gulped down the cold water. Satisfaction spreads across their faces.
“How is it?”
“… Water tastes very good. I traveled to many deserts to meet the Heavenly Demon, but this is the first time I have ever tasted water like this. It doesn’t look like ordinary oasis water.”
That’s natural. This is the bottled water of the best-selling brand in Korea. Basically, it is superior in many ways to the water of an oasis in the desert.
“I hate gossip. Get to the point What does your district want?”
“First of all, please know that this is not just happening in our district, but throughout the Western Desert.”
“Are you talking about what happened five days ago?”
“Yes. Five days ago, the ‘Oasis Owner’ sent a message to the rulers of all desert areas.”
“If you want to keep the oasis, it says to sacrifice a woman. It was a very annoying request. What’s even more upsetting is that Oasis is actually drying up.”
Five days.
The owner of the oasis gave ten days. Now that half of them have passed, the oasis is more than half dry. This is because the water of the oasis was pumped out and stored. The problem is that the water in the oasis is not filling up. If this continues, the bottom of the oasis will be exposed within three days.
“The same goes for our desert forest area. Oasis is life in the desert. We cannot let Oasis disappear like this.”
“The solution is simple. You can make a sacrifice to the owner of the oasis.”
“In the desert forest, human sacrifice is prohibited. No matter what happens, I will not abandon my people.”
“Okay? Great fraternal love.”
“…… Did Heavenly Demon-nim accept the offer of the owner of the oasis?”
I stared at her and asked her station.
“What do you think?”
“I can’t be sure, but I don’t think he did human sacrifice.”
“Why?”
“I haven’t heard of human sacrifice since coming here. If human sacrifice had been carried out, people would have talked about it.”
“Couldn’t I have carried out a secret human sacrifice?”
“The oasis owner’s request has already spread throughout the desert. There’s no point in hiding it. You’ll find out eventually. Above all, I know that Heavenly Demon-nim is not the kind of person to do that. Even if your opponent is a god, if you fight against him, he will fight and not give in.”
“Looks like you heard about me. That’s what it says. I have no intention of yielding to the lord of the oasis or anything.”
“Our desert forest is also of the same mind as the Heavenly Demon. Once yielded to the master of the oasis, much would have to be given up. Area 5,140, Desert Forest formally requests an alliance with the Heavenly Demon, the ruler of the Scorpion Desert. The alliance expires until the oasis crisis is resolved. The purpose of the alliance is to overthrow the lord of the oasis.”
Helian said with a determined expression.
I looked at her sullenly. Then, as if Helian was embarrassed, her eyes twitched.
“What benefits do I get from allying?”
“It is the overthrow of the owner of the oasis. Oasis can take back its powers!”
“The Heavenly Demonic Church can survive even without an oasis. There is a corner where water comes out. There is no need to risk dealing with the owner of the oasis. Do you know why? Because you are In the end, those of you who can’t hold out will defeat the owner of the oasis.”
Desert forest.
Forest in the desert. Good night. Just hearing the name gives off a mysterious feeling. But let’s think realistically. Many things will be needed to maintain the forest. The most important of these is, of course, water.
‘We will grow and maintain trees with the water of the oasis. In other words, when oases disappear, desert forests also disappear. In the current situation, these elves are the most urgent.’
They are sending messengers like this because they are in a hurry. They probably sent elves to other desert areas as well.
“…… Does Heavenly Demon-nim not want to do anything?”
“Because I don’t have to do anything. I intend to survive even if there is no water from the oasis.”
“This is a presumptuous statement, but the citizens will revolt if water is not supplied. In this desert, things related to water are very sensitive.”
“You stupid. Kill them before they rebel. Don’t you know the simple solution?”
Helian’s expression darkened. She looked at me like she was crazy. It seems you didn’t understand what I was saying.
I snapped my fingers and raised my voice.
“Enas! Are you out there? Come in!”
“Yes. Heavenly Demon.”
Enas, who had been waiting, entered right away.
“Enas. Are there guys preparing for a rebellion?”
“There is information that more than 10 people gather in the western slums.”
“It smells of rebellion. Sweep it away.”
“Yes. Heavenly Demon.”
Enas went outside.
I looked at Helian, putting her shoulders up. She had Helian’s eyebrows quivering.
“Did you see it? A good leader does not allow rebellion to sprout.”
“… We have never questioned Heavenly Demon’s leadership. Also, we respect the will of the Heavenly Demon. I will convey the will of the Heavenly Demon to Lady Callas.”
Helian prepares to leave immediately. She gives off an aura of not wanting to get involved with me.
“For a moment. Listen to the end If the desert forest provides benefits, I am willing to make an alliance.”
Helian paused. She shut her mouth for a moment and pondered something about her.
“… What do you want?”
“The first is a dancer. Hand over the desert forest dancer to me.”
