A Wild Man Has Entered the Academy

79 – Gulag (3)

At this point, you might have reasonable doubts. I don’t know why, but Gulag hates me.

The act of throwing a thunderbolt at a specific person. It is often said that the sky is angry.

Usually in this case, it is a story that goes through to the person who has committed the sin of cheonjingongno, but no matter how much I think about it, I did not commit such a sin.

Of course, he poured out double curses on the gods in the forest and made dear believers into a bowl of mucus, but it didn’t mean much.

In Soul World, even if you defeat or even kill a Gulag believer, the Gulag will pass without incident.

On the contrary, what I like is a god who prefers to fight among his followers.

They say that only then can the weapon be refined more. He’s not a very good god.

“Kara, what did you say when you bowed?”

Grace questioned Kara. Currently, I am standing in front of an altar with my party.

After my location was exposed through a thunderbolt, I decided that it was good to be together.

I have something to ask Gulag, so it’s appropriate for now.

“Just what…”

At Grace’s question, Kara paused for a second and glanced at me.

Looking at him glancing at him without looking at him openly, it’s clear that he has a connection with me, and a deep connection at that.

Following this, Kara scratched her cheek with her index finger, then shrugged her shoulders and said coolly.

“I hope the person I trust doesn’t betray me. This much?”

“That person must be Mr. Sivar.”

“I won’t deny it. But I don’t know why they put the thunderbolt on Sivar and not me. It’s the first time I’ve seen such a case.”

In that case, did the thunderbolt before that also have feelings related to me? Most likely.

Porori said he wasn’t there when the party arrived at the altar, so you can ask him later.

Now, it is important who performed the ancestral rites before Kara.

“Before that.”

“Huh?”

“Before that. Who did it?”

All eyes were focused on my question in an instant. I guess I didn’t know what to ask.

Still, I’ll have to answer the question. Kara listened to her question, thought for a moment, then pointed to someone and said,

“Luna bowed. Did you get struck by lightning at that time as well?”

“Yes.”

“Luna, did you also upload your feelings related to Shivar?”

If you hold a prayer related to me, lightning strikes me. That hypothesis is virtually proven.

Luna seemed momentarily taken aback by Kara’s question, then she looked at me. She then responded by rolling her eyes.

“······No? I just asked you to stay healthy.”

“Are you lying?”

“Is that true?”

Make direct eye contact and tell lies. I can’t really lie.

For example, timidly putting your hands together or rolling your eyes. I am expressing that I am lying to anyone.

However, it had the opposite effect. When Karado Luna lied openly, she moved on without asking further questions.

“Well. If you say that, you have to believe it. I don’t know if I should consider this as a positive answer, anyway.”

“How do you normally respond positively?”

“The offering catches fire even if we don’t light it ourselves. Didn’t the offering I raised earlier catch fire too? Most of the time, the answer is positive.”

Kara pointed at the offering that had been burning roaringly and now turned to black ash.

Unfortunately, a gust of wind blew the black ashes away.

“And he does not give any response to those who offer sacrifices with a disrespectful heart. Sometimes, if they are too disrespectful, they will stick a thunderbolt into them, but this is only for the priests.”

“Isn’t there a case where lightning strikes someone else through the prayer of a priest?”

“Of course not. If that was the case, there would have been a lot of people getting struck by lightning. Shivar is strange.”

As Kara said. God does not directly harm a specific person through someone’s prayer.

If that happens, the world could literally become chaotic, so I tend to be picky about the conditions.

The condition is when the target is a demon or has a very disrespectful heart. But even this doesn’t work.

Because it is more convenient to give power to a believer than to directly insert a thunderbolt into it. Efficiency is also a big issue.

“First of all, offer a sacrifice for Grace. How about you?”

“Well, I’ll post it next time. It seems that the heavenly god is in a bad mood…”

“Really? Okay. By the way, does the East call Gulag-nim a celestial god?”

“Yes. Rather than the god of destruction, I call her Heavenly God, meaning the god of the sky. Conversely, Gaia-sama is called Earth Goddess or Earth Mother, meaning the goddess of the earth.”

“It’s amazing.”

While Kara was gaining new Eastern knowledge from Yeonju Lee, Grace walked to the altar.

Then, as explained, she first placed the offering on the altar and then knelt down reverently.

The ancestral rite itself can be done the way one wishes. As in the East, you can offer sacrifices in the true sense of the word, and you can offer prayers.

The most important thing here is a tribute and a sincere heart. If even one of these two things is not satisfied, Gulag will not answer.

‘It’s fortunate that it’s not a random draw.’

Since Soul World is a game, I have listened to everything, but in reality it will be a bit of a headache.

Because the keyword itself, sincerity, was ambiguous. This is the same for Gaia as well as Gulag.

‘But I think Grace will be fine?’

Grace looks rough, but her heart isn’t. It has a pure heart that can be compared to a fairy tale.

I want a ‘knight’ who will protect me no matter what situation comes. It’s the article that seems to come out of a fairy tale.

But the reality is not easy. Because of this, Grace put her mind aside for a while and focused only on reality.

He is a very pitiful character because if he does something wrong, he will be humiliated by Delphi.

‘But when was that time?’

Even in Soul World, the exact timing is not set. However, the ‘foreign’ itself is certain.

When you get to know Grace, she’ll talk about Delphi being a little strange.

Of course, he could have planted unnecessary trauma, so I’m thinking of stopping it altogether rather than intruding in the middle.

‘It will be difficult to fill the favorable impression, but…’

Originally, through that event, Grace’s favorability rises significantly. But I have no intention of using that event.

Delphi is cheap even if she is beaten, but he had no intention of using her.

It is better to gather other evidence and bury Delphi.

‘After all, Grace also said she was going to Godin.’

Hwareuk!

While I was distracted for a moment, a fire was kindled from Grace’s offering.

According to Kara, that’s a positive sign. It means that Gulag has answered your prayers.

“Uh, uh uh? This is a positive answer, right?”

I asked in an urgent voice whether Grace was also taken aback. You could tell he was excited by the way he stuttered.

“Yes. Gulag seems to have answered my prayers. He must have been quite sincere?”

“Yes, yes! Then, will Gulag-nim grant your wish?”

Is it because it is deeply related to your ideal? Grace couldn’t contain her excitement.

He looks like a child with a small innocence in his heart.

Should I say that this mask has been removed? Or should I say that his true nature has been revealed?

Even the sharp eyes were loosened, revealing a subtly cute side.

“I don’t know that. They only answered my prayers, but I don’t know how they will be answered. It’s hard to predict how people live, even the gods.”

“Ah… Then you could literally listen to it.”

“That’s the way it is. But don’t get too down on yourself. It’s nice that you’ve paid that much tribute and just answered.”

“Okay. I guess I’ll have to take it as a way not to give up hope.”

Despite Kara’s explanation, Grace did not lose her positive mood. Originally, hope is a good power source.

Rumble!

No. But dad, why are you like this again?

Hearing the faint sound of thunder from the sky, he raised his head.

Fortunately, there was no lightning strike this time, but I am still uneasy.

From noble mtl dot com

Today alone, I was struck by lightning three times, so I wonder if the trauma is being engraved.

“······What does the sound of thunder mean?”

“Uh… Well? Seeing that no lightning strikes, the answer is definitely not negative. Would you like Sivar to do it next?”

As the atmosphere turned strange, Kara hurriedly changed the topic. Next to Grace is me.

For me, who has been hit by lightning, it is not very pleasant. Why does the God of Destruction hate me?

“Now, here, on the altar, place the offering I just gave you. And say in your heart what you want. Whether you pray or bow, it’s your heart.”

“How about dancing?”

“Dancing? Oh, did you see the dance I just did? This is embarrassing.”

“It was pretty.”

“Yes, it’s pretty······ Keu, keuheum!”

Kara blushed in embarrassment at my honest words. She felt cute the way she tried to clear her throat somehow.

I like that side of Kara. Because while she had a cool personality, she had a human heart.

It will play a big role in the story both now and in the future, so there’s nothing wrong with being close.

Kurrung!

The sound of thunder echoes. Seeing that it’s bigger than before, this situation seems annoying.

She must be annoyed when there is a certain bastard next to her favorite shrine maiden. Even that bastard is the one who poured out his twin lust at God.

I put an offering on her altar with the shy Kara behind her. It is the thigh bone of the animal Kara delivered.

Then he bowed like an oriental style, not as Grace did. I am used to temples because I am from where I am from.

‘Hey. Mr. Gulag.’

The other side touched me first. I went beyond touching it and even plugged it into a thunderbolt.

Of course, I have no choice but to accumulate a lot of unfavorable feelings. Like Hector, you didn’t do anything, but you hit the first bread?

‘Let’s be honest. Don’t you like me?’

Hwareuk!

As soon as I asked the question, the offering caught fire. That means a positive answer.

I raised my head slightly and looked at the altar. I only asked questions, not prayers, but they answered like swords.

It seems that he really hates me. But what’s really unfortunate for me is that I didn’t do anything to Gulag.

Besides, wasn’t the god who chose me Chaos? It made me wonder if something happened between Chaos and Gulag.

‘Before we go to the temple, let’s ask one thing. Are you the god who brought me here?’

No response. The offering is on fire, so there is no way to confirm the answer.

In the end, I think I have no choice but to go to Byzantine and check it out. There, you can connect with Chaos with Rize’s help.

‘······Please take good care of us in the future. I’m sure you’ll be watching over me anyway.’

I have nothing to say. I don’t like that side either, but it’s a fate that has no choice but to be involved with me.

I spend a lot of time with Kara right now, so what can I do? Just have to bear with it

‘But don’t let lightning strike every time you pray like a little boy…’

Kwaguawang!!

Are you a bit harsh? As soon as I had a disrespectful heart, lightning struck from the sky.

I couldn’t even avoid it because I was in a situation where I was bowing down. I’m used to the lightning, so it’s okay.

False! Scrap!

But maybe it’s because it’s a strong lightning bolt. At the same time as my body was lightly tanned, a weak current began to flow.

The people around me were talking about something, but the thunder is making my ears go blank. I swallowed a laugh and looked down at the current flowing through my hands.

“f*ck.”

What are you really good at? I was so stunned that I had nothing to say.

[Ability: You have acquired Thunder!]

[Faith rises!]

“·······”

I hit my head again and raised an apology.

Thank you so much for giving me such a gift, even if it’s cheesy…

Kwaguawang!!

Why the f*ck?

You apologized.
