Chapter 111
It was Hies who spoke in an icily cold voice.
His red eyes gleamed.
Of course, Hies was also present today. He had finished preparing to ridicule them because he didn’t think they could really bring rain.
If it didn’t rain, the disappointed people might riot, and then Hies planned to step in and calm them down.
But… surprisingly, it really rained.
Rain that had never fallen even after so many rain rituals.
It fell without even offering live sacrifices.
In disbelief, Hies looked up at the sky, getting drenched in the falling rain.
He couldn’t understand or accept what had happened.
In the midst of that, as he had heard from a Wilkeron woman named Nicoletta, scales appeared on the queen.
A monstrous, ghastly, and repulsive sight.
The clothes she was wearing were so ridiculously disgusting that Hies and all the Nu clan elders gagged.
‘And yet, she took them off as if to show she had no weaknesses…!’
She stripped them off.
After that, Siren Wilkeron became even more beautiful.
A faint divinity was felt, and Hies lowered his eyes involuntarily. From a position where he could directly feel divinity, he dared not look directly at that light.
At the same time, Hies’ pride was deeply wounded.
“If the problem is the people who saw it, we can just eliminate them.”
“You mean…”
“Yes, the infected.”
The Nu clan elders with wrinkled faces looked at each other.
They hesitated, but… frankly, it wasn’t a bad plan.
They couldn’t ‘kill’ all the witnesses, but they could ‘infect’ them, couldn’t they?
In fact, it would spread in an instant if only one person was bitten.
“Then we can make it seem like everyone who got rained on became infected.”
“Heh heh.”
“We’ll instill fear in the rain itself.”
Hies’ one word was a seed of evil.
From there, leaves grew and flowers bloomed.
“Let’s release a few of the infected we have.”
“Wouldn’t it be better to do it today?”
“That’s right. But we don’t have any with us…”
“Can’t we catch one nearby?”
“Are you going to catch it?”
“Tsk, how can an old man like me catch it? Only the Kalik clan could do that.”
Indeed. The Nu clan was feeble.
They had no combat ability, so catching an infected was impossible.
They did have some locked up in the temple basement… but to bring them, it would be impossible for today at least.
“Tsk. Then we’ll have to take our time.”
“It would be better to do it when the king isn’t here. If we get caught, we’ll all be dead.”
“Of course.”
Hies looked at the maggot-like men with a calm smile.
Old men who couldn’t even think of dirtying their own hands.
But they were number one at concocting evil ideas.
‘It’s fine. They’re good at taking care of their own rice bowls.’
But it’s a shame to only eliminate the commoners.
‘Feeling it earlier, her divinity wasn’t fully opened. She’s still half human. If so… could she be infected?’
To contaminate a god. To corrupt her.
That thought was terrifying.
But now, a sound like thunder was constantly ringing in Hies’s ears.
Corrupt the water goddess Aquafuran. This time, prevent her from ever regaining her divine status.
Ah, this is the voice of a god.
‘It’s a war between gods. I’ve been given a sacred mission.’
His heart beat rapidly with excitement.
The king dismissed everyone from the beach, saying he would spend time with the rain.
What are those two doing there…
‘They’re doing something dirty. Polluting my king to their heart’s content.’
Unforgivable. Unforgivable.
Hies muttered like that, pressing his eyes shut tightly.
He felt suffocated, unable to breathe properly.
Loving someone is painful.
It couldn’t be anything but pain.
Spending the night with his eyes open, Yasamin stroked Siren’s hair with resentment.
He wanted to treat her gently, but also wanted to grab her roughly.
Conflicting emotions tormented him, unable to settle on either side, only expressing his frustration.
A thousand years is easy to say.
During that time, he had spent all these nights without sleep.
Because she cast a spell on him as she ran away.
“You will wait for me, unable to sleep forever.”
Does she know that that one sentence became a shackle? Of course, she must have done it knowingly.
Or… did she think he would give up eventually if it became too painful?
