Chapter 307 – Chapter 31
“Yes. Belief is the driving force that allows you to have strong mental power just by being there. If you believe in God, it becomes possible to replace mental power with physical power.”
“I don’t need it. I also went around and saw what the foreign press did.”
Kang Myung-chul rejected Morrison’s proposal with a single stroke.
He hated this world, but he hated those who served gods in another dimension, just like the humans in this world who had witnessed all the things that those who served foreign gods were doing.
“Um. That part is really unfortunate, but the people you saw outside are beings that we don’t even want to see. Until I come to this world, I also believe in unity to unite everyone and become one with God, or evil gods who want to offer the bodies and souls of living people to God. I was shocked that there were so many of the same kind.”
Morrison agreed with his argument, but appealed that they were different beings.
“Then what’s different about you?”
“Didn’t I tell you when I first introduced you? I am a servant of Justitana, the goddess of justice.”
“If you’re an ordinary foreigner like that, you don’t have to live here, right?”
“They are too savage to preach the justice we speak of in this world. The goddess we serve is not bound by social status. Anything wrong is wrong no matter who does it, and he seeks to receive the appropriate punishment.”
After explaining that, he drank tea and drank his mouth for a while, then looked at Kang Myung-cheol’s atmosphere.
‘I’m still cold. Shall we throw the bait soon?’
The people who tried to recruit Kang Myung-cheol put all the information they had gathered into their heads, so he opened his mouth after thinking about where to start attacking.
“I also traveled around this world at one time. Then, in the name of the goddess of justice, I punished those who violated the contract and used their position as aristocrats to oppress us, but the people of this world do not care about the faults of the aristocrats and punish us. They persecuted them. In the end, they had no choice but to be chased to Promesa.”
“All the nobles in this world are bastards. I also killed the monsters…”
Kang Myung-cheol began to respond violently to the words of Morrison, who had a similar experience to his own.
The two formed a consensus that they wanted to practice ‘justice’ rather than the other’s title or social status.
Kang Myung-cheol, who had never met anyone who could sympathize with his words, vomited out all the resentments he had accumulated.
“That’s right. After all, my eyes weren’t wrong.”
Morrison focused on raising Kang Myung-cheol’s mood with a soft smile.
“No one fits the word justice better than you. Think about it. Doesn’t the world always persecute you first, and when you resist it, it tries to suppress it in the name of the law?”
Whenever Kang Myung-cheol heard his words, his face was distorted with anger.
He has always sought justice.
As soon as I came to this world, I tried to punish the dangerous black magician and the poison, and I executed justice to the villainous aristocrat who struck a legitimate contract.
And he shouldered all the hardships alone to create a kingdom where drifters like himself could live.
‘But what came back to me?’
He said that the warlock he was trying to destroy instantly became stronger and made himself into this shape.
Justice was enforced on the nobility, but the empire of the eastern continent did not sympathize with their justice, and rather created a subjugation party.
Those who wanted to help build the kingdom would bet on whatever they wanted to do, and led the moderates of Promesa to immigrate to the land they were trying to build.
Confirming that Kang Myung-chul’s anger was showing on his face, Morrison opened his mouth once again.
“Isn’t it frustrating? You only moved for justice. But until now, no one has been able to understand your justice.”
“That’s right. I’ve always been for justice! Things that don’t even have basics are just complaining!”
“That’s why you must serve Justina-sama as much as you do. If you receive the protection of the goddess of justice, you will be able to exert strong power with your righteous heart.”
“What? With justice?”
“Of course, he is not the god of this world, so the power he can give you is limited. But the more you practice justice in this world, and the stronger your righteous heart, the stronger the power he can give you.”
Until now, I have not had the heart to serve a godlike being, but I am honestly looking forward to seeing how strong my righteousness will be.
‘Even so, after coming to this world, the system was broken and I couldn’t get any more experience points. But if you receive Justitana’s protection… !’
He was burning with anger and hatred these days.
The little black magician he was trying to punish suddenly persecuted himself with great strength and his colleagues.
Pushed by her power, she ran away in shame, using obstacles that didn’t listen to her commands to get out of pursuit, but because of the robot that followed her, she had to use teleport and recuperate for a while.
You can’t get stronger than the system is broken, but the other side will have steadily stronger power as time goes by.
That’s why the heart says you have to revenge, but the reality is that you have to run away, let alone revenge, so you can’t help but burn your insides.
“…Do I need something in return?”
However, Kang Myeong-cheol, who still could not easily trust the existence of foreign media, asked if there was a price to pay for believing in God.
“Doesn’t exist.”
“No?”
“Yes. If there is a price to pay for believing in God, that is evil. The only part that can be called a price is to follow your own justice in anything. Of course, it is not compulsory, so there is no need to worry about your freedom being taken away.”
“Is that all?”
It doesn’t take away your freedom, and you don’t need a price, you just have to follow your own justice.
Fascinated by such good conditions, he wondered if there was a trap, but he couldn’t figure out the existence of a trap with the information he had so far.
“If anything differs from what I said, do as you please with me. You may kill me or I may torture you.”
Fascinated by Morrison’s resolute and sincere appearance, Kang Myeong-cheol thought about something for a while and made a decision.
“…Your god, how can you believe it?”
“Because he is a god from another dimension, it is necessary to prepare to connect with him. When he is ready, I will call him.”
“Okay. If, at least a little, it’s different from what I said, then.”
“Do whatever you want.”
After that, Kang Myeong-cheol went outside to recover from his internal injuries.
‘Whoops. It’s all over.’
As a result, a strong power was added to the Justitana Church.
There are very few beings with such a firmly rooted ‘justice’, so it would be a great help if they were able to use all their strength.
There is no lie in what Morrison has said so far.
However, in the world where her Justitana exists, she is classified as a god of neutral attributes rather than her good and evil.
The reason why it is not good to pursue justice is simple.
This is because Justitana’s justice is not universal morality or social order, but individual believers’ justice.
If a follower accepts the killing of half of humanity as justice, and depending on how deeply entrenched that justice is, Justitana gives him as much power as his justice will.
That is, from heroic good deeds to murder and plunder.
If you believe that your actions are justice, you give that much power.
And the wrong and strongly rooted twisted justice that he felt while talking with Kang Myeong-cheol would give him great strength.
‘The more twisted justice is, the harder it is. It’s because you need a strong will to stand firm, saying that you are right even in the midst of the general perception of the world.’
Morrison smiled as he was sure that Kang Myung-chul would be thinking about it by now, but he would eventually accept his proposal.

“Ah~ the air under the mountain is hot.”
“The life of starving on the mountain is over.”
The drifters, who ate heartily and were able to sleep with their legs stretched out in a temporary shelter sheltered from the rain and wind, stretched out pleasantly.
Because Promesa is a high mountainous area, it is difficult to build a large house, and if there is even a small hole, a great cold hits.
That’s why I was smiling happily just by being full and sleeping without worrying about the cold.
“It really seems like they’re going to mediate with us.”
“I mean. After hearing what the maids said, they said they would give us an empty house.”
“Haa… It was really long… I’m just trying to shed tears with the selfishness of this basic civilization…”
Even those who came in the 21st century, or a similar era, suffered so much that they were happy.
But when you’re full and comfortable, people with bad thoughts appear everywhere.
“Hey. Shall we be a little greedy?”
“What? Isn’t it crazy to do something like a rebellion?”
“Do you think I was shot in the head?”
Pierre, a black man with a wide network of people who had lived in the moderates for a long time, tried to create public opinion against his acquaintances.
A native of France, he has some strength as he has benefited from hardliners several times using his eloquent rhetoric.
“The food we ate this time was of high quality, from ingredients to cooking, right?”
“So?”
“It means that the lack of intellectuals is serious enough to treat us like this. We’ll work for this country anyway, so it’s not bad to be treated better, right?”
It’s not like a rebellion, it’s about getting better treatment.
Thinking that they would not be able to sway themselves to this extent, they succeeded in forming public opinion to speak with one voice when the opportunity arose.
And the breakfast was served buffet-style, and I was convinced that it was of the same quality as yesterday.
‘He’s trying to win our hearts.’
‘We’ll be the foundation of this country anyway.’
‘I’m not asking too much…’
Everyone had a desire to live a little better, so they exchanged glances with those who formed public opinion.
‘Good. If this plan works, I will be a star. Then becoming a noble through that network is not a dream.’
Pierre dreamed that if this plan succeeded, he would become a person in the limelight, and if he did well, he could become a nobleman.
Meanwhile, Celestine’s old colleagues, unaware of this fact, were having a happy reunion with her, who came to check on her well-being.
“Everyone came back well. Actually, I was going to come yesterday, but when I heard that you guys were coming, I turned up my heat to exterminate the wild undead…”
“Ha ha. For some reason, there was nothing on the way.”
“Is Celestine okay? That woman named Lilith, her personality seems bad. Did you abuse her under the guise of her orders or something like that?”
Her old colleagues didn’t know the details, but they knew she had an unusual relationship with Lilith, so they asked anxiously.
“It’s okay. In our world, we kill and kill each other, but there’s no need for that in this world. And…”
“Huh? And?”
“Hmmmm. It turned out to be better than I thought after talking to him without taking the position of an enemy.”
Because she only has a futa cock, she has a sense of fellowship with her from being bullied together, and her uncomfortable expression is gone.
So Celestine chatted with her old colleagues and smiled brightly at the hope given to them.
“Oh, and I have a warning.”
“Warning?”
“Don’t ask for anything more from here.”
“Huh?”
“What does that mean…”
At the meaningless warning, her colleagues tried to ask what it meant, but
“Everyone go to the Parade.”
“The Queen is preparing a speech.”
When the order was given for the ladies-in-waiting to move to the parade ground, a guard appeared to lead them.
“Oops. Let’s go. One last warning, the Queen is content with treating you guys. Never ask for more.”
With those words, Celestine moved swiftly toward the parade ground first.
She wanted to ask what the hell she was talking about, but in an instant she disappeared into a dot.
“Are you satisfied with our treatment?”
“You don’t want more than this?”
They wanted to discuss something meaningful, but since the guards were leading hundreds of people, they had to go to the parade ground after shouting to move rather forcefully.
‘A while ago, there were people who argued that we should be treated better…’
I wanted to say it even now, but the queen was preparing a speech, so I couldn’t stop it, so I moved along with the crowd.
When she arrived at the parade ground, Lillian, who had become so dignified that it was believed that she was a completely different person than when she wore the armor before, was waiting on the podium.
“Wow…”
“Beautiful…”
“The blond woman next to me is also crazy…”
The drifters who witnessed Lillian and her escort, Priscilla, couldn’t shut their mouths at the sight of beautiful women who could play and eat for the rest of their lives if they went to their world.
“Move everyone!”
“Doesn’t the person behind you stop too! Move first!”
The guards approached the drifters who were enchanted by their beauty and ordered them to line up in front of the podium.
It was a mess of fevers and fives, but they weren’t soldiers, so Lillian didn’t want any more.
“My name is Lillian Valen Prosteni. I am the queen of Luciarkenel Kingdom.”
He opened his mouth quietly, but because it contained mana, his voice could be heard clearly until the very end.
A voice that is as pure and pure as its appearance.
The drifters who were whispering about the dignity of a king contained in that voice immediately shut up.
“If I were the queen of an ordinary kingdom, I would have added rhetoric, but what this kingdom needs right now is time, so I’ll say it straight.”
Thinking it would be a waste of her time to tell the castaways about the greatness of the kingdom and the nobility of the royal family, Vannes recommended that Lillian quickly provide only the necessary information.
“First of all, I will classify you into four categories.”
Civil engineering, economics, chores, military.
Classify the drifters into four categories based on their knowledge and abilities, and entrust them with appropriate tasks.
The amount of remuneration varies depending on the importance and risk of each task.
And I will give everyone an empty house of the size appropriate for the number of people living together, and in case of an emergency, I will make it scattered all over the city so that it is difficult for everyone to meet in private.
Lillian’s speech went smoothly as everyone had expected it to some extent.
After finishing the last explanation, she glanced at everyone lightly and recited the lines that some had been waiting for.
“This is the explanation. If you have any questions, raise your hand.”
‘Now!’
Pierre raised his hand, thinking that now was the time for him to step in.
