How a Hero Lives as a Writer

70 – Ah, this is called ‘Possessed Water’. (3)

After my lengthy remarks, each faction gathered together and started a discussion.

I let out a sigh of relief.

I felt like my shoulders were lightened, perhaps because the meeting was resolved according to my wishes.

To summarize the contents of this meeting….

ㅡ To summarize?

Let’s agitate the masses together!

It should feel like this.

ㅡ … what did you say now?

Don’t look at me with that expression!

Because this was an inevitable choice.

If I had chosen a straight line rather than this flow, it would have flowed this way.

First of all, Seongguk announces the fact that the 4th hero was an elf, and that the demons are in fact rooted in the humans who fought the first hero.

Then a trend arises to present the evidence.

Seongguk has no choice but to mention the existence of the hero.

Then the hero asks how he found out.

The hero announces that he has used the power of the holy sword.

Then the question follows how to prove that the statement is true.

In this way, questions and answers continue to go round and round.

The problem is that there is no telephone or internet here, so it is difficult to spread this information quickly.

Moreover, there is a very high possibility of being misled along the way, and those who put emotion ahead of reason may rebel.

ㅡ Is there an organization called Intrus?

That’s right.

So I decided to use comics.

It’s a work of planting an approximate big picture in your head with a cartoon in advance.

So naturally, when the truth is known, the characters in the cartoon will be replaced by other beings.

And I needed more concrete evidence than the vague evidence of being a hero.

But it’s already a story from the Age of Mythology, so it’s hard to come up with clear evidence.

So I decided to tamper with the evidence.

I dug the ground somewhere and found a temple with the truth of history written on it.

In order to verify the truth of what was written in the temple, I searched the place where it was written in the temple, and indeed the evidence came pouring out.

I needed to create that kind of flow.

Fortunately, everyone followed my flow.

ㅡ But didn’t the meeting feel a bit lengthy? I also explained about ice water at the end.

That… To be honest, the people here are also included in the concept of the masses.

ㅡ Could it be that the people here also instigated it?

Because that was the easiest way to make it my own.

There is a saying that in order to incite the masses, you have to confuse the terms.

That’s what a high-ranking Soviet official did.

Throws out words he has never heard before, twists the story and expresses it in a lengthy manner.

I use provocative words there to draw attention to that direction.

ㅡ Is this correct?

Mrs. Helena’s bored expression became a dagger and pierced my chest.

ㅡ This hero is a liar.

Caught?

ㅡ Being caught is a half-word.

Anyway, as long as the results are good, isn’t it?

Everybody is going to be happy, but who’s to say that you tamper with the evidence?

A small sacrifice is necessary for a happy ending.

This is called a white lie.

ㅡ Perhaps you were summoned not as a writer but as an agitator.

… I can’t deny it anymore.

Still, don’t you think it worked out well?

Everyone works so hard, right?

The still undecided title of the warrior will proceed as a possession.

To explain the outline, a boy who dreamed of becoming a warrior one day finds an old book.

That book was written about the hero.

The boy falls asleep while reading a book, and it is an obvious story that he actually experiences the story of the warriors who saved the world by being possessed by the book.

However, until now, Mare had no concept of possessing books, and there was no story set in a world other than Mare.

Perhaps when the manga is published, it will create a considerable ripple effect.

This cartoon contains many meanings.

First of all, it serves as a stepping stone to establish comics as an independent culture.

If it settles as an independent culture, many original comics will appear in the future.

Conversely, there may be cases in which the manga comes out first, followed by the novel version.

Comics have a greater visual impact than novels.

The number of people who are inspired in various ways will increase, and various things, including culture, will begin to develop rapidly.

And this work is a collaboration with different races.

Unlike in the past, it means that my work will expand not only to the human market, but also to the market of heterogeneous people.

I think curiosity about humans will naturally arise.

If the Tribal Alliance works hard behind the scenes, they might be ready to accept the truth more easily than humans.

This cartoon becomes an important project with a lot of meaning.

“Bright, our story has been sorted out.”

“How did it go?”

“First of all, we decided to create a reason for staying here.”

“Why?”

Certainly Bertus is called a guardian, so he seems to be a very important figure to the elves.

It must be strange that such a person would stay here forever.

I think you need a plausible excuse.

“So what method?”

“Isn’t there a rule that the academy doesn’t allow people of different races to enter?”

I never thought I would make such a bold decision.

“We will make your presence known to those we trust. I will also tell you our plan.”

“The story of the Holy Kingdom….”

“Why Seongguk?”

Bertus looked like he knew nothing about the Holy Kingdom.

As expected, he is a seasoned person who does not match his appearance.

“Since my daughter, who is my heart, is here, I cannot escape here… It feels like this.”

“Okay. Oh, and is there any way I can share my dream?”

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t have to worry about that.”

“Okay.”

I said hello to Bertus and approached the editor-in-chief.

“Are you done reviewing?”

“I’m thinking about it.”

“Is something wrong?”

“I don’t know if the organization will accept this.”

“What is the ultimate goal of Intrus?”

“… It is the peace of Mare.”

“No matter how hard Intrus tries, the world will eventually change. Just like paper was invented.”

“… Ha.”

This is already an irreversible trend of the times.

I have to accept it like that. Is there anything special?

“Could we be involved in producing the cartoon?”

“Otherwise, you would have secretly proceeded from the beginning? It would have been hard to notice if it was hidden thoroughly.”

“Is there anything you wish for?”

“Was it Mia? The librarian of Wangseong who wrote Autumn Field.”

“… Are you saying you need him?”

From noble mtl dot com

“Yes, he was better at adapting than I thought.”

I am virtually no stranger to comics.

Creating a continuity suitable for a manga is beyond my ability.

I think it’s a bit difficult for me to be in charge of the story of a manga.

So, we need Mia, who has already proven her ability through Lady’s comicization.

I write a scene I saw in a dream as a novel, and Mia-san adapts the scene into a story to be used in a manga.

It should be roughly like this.

“You must not teach your descendants to hate.”

The editor-in-chief muttered what I described in The Lady.

Then he nodded as if he had made up his mind.

“It was an organization that would one day disband and disappear. I don’t know how old people rot, now is the right time.”

The statement that I don’t know if the organization will accept this….

“Is Intrus going away?”

“Intrus is an organization that exists for world peace. It is an organization that should disappear without permission from the castle and empire.”

If my proposal passes, Intrus will no longer exist.

So it seems that there will be opposition from those who do not welcome the dissolution of the organization.

The editor-in-chief seems to think so.

“Still, I think this is the right way.”

From now on, I think I will be able to enjoy novels purely.

The editor-in-chief smiled with a complicated expression as he said that.

It was an expression that made me think a lot about something.

I handed over to the editor-in-chief that I wish him well in the future and headed towards Prince Albert.

“Thank you for lending me this seat.”

“… It’s scary that we’ve heard something we shouldn’t have.”

Prince Albert narrowed his brows and sighed.

“This is a story you must carry to your grave.”

As I said that, I looked at Prince Albert and Damian.

To be honest, the fewer people know about such a dangerous story, the better, so it might have been better to keep it a secret even from the Aucklia royal family.

But it’s happening in Aucklia, and the fact that the royal family doesn’t know about it is something strange, so it can’t be helped.

I don’t think the two of them would go around exposing this secret in the first place.

“You are a really scary person.”

Prince Albert shook his head in disgust.

“You wouldn’t keep your distance, would you?”

“Would you do that out of fear of retaliation?”

Prince Albert cracked a joke with a wry smile.

… Kidding right?

“Please continue to take good care of me, Lord Bright.”

“Uh, hmm… okay.”

Demian, who has changed 180 degrees even after quite some time has passed, is so awkward.

Is this about becoming a king?

I finally approached the place where the members of the Holy Kingdom were gathered.

“Meet the representative of God.”

… This is why I don’t want to come here.

“Is the story organized?”

“Yes. We intend to bring the Seongguk’s answer within a week.”

“Will it be in a week?”

“Considering the upcoming schedule, I decided it would be better to hurry up as much as possible.”

The sooner the better, but….

ㅡ Will there be time for a meeting?

That’s the problem.

It’s such an important issue that the cardinals and the pope need to get together, and that alone would consume a considerable amount of time.

It can be said that I judged that the meeting would go smoothly than I thought.

“Thank you very much.”

“No, God’s agent.”

This is a holy war to save Mare’s present and future.

As the cardinal said that, he made an expression burning with a sense of mission.

In many ways, it felt like there was a lot of strength in my shoulders.

I said goodbye to the cardinal and went back to where I was.

What… I’d say this is almost certain.

ㅡ What?

It seems that the saintess has a lower status than the cardinal.

You don’t even have the right to make decisions.

I think she is literally like a face madam.

– Yes?

We are now sharing a very dangerous secret.

If you ask me what it is, I wonder if it will answer.

It may become scalded by scratching, but I can’t stand being curious!

I’ll set up a date sometime and talk to you for a bit.

I thought so and waited for the meeting to end.
