Warriors Come to My Prison

017. Discriminant

life is a struggle

From something very trivial to something great. Nothing is given for free without cost.

If you want to have what you want, you have to get it. You have to fight and win to prove yourself and howl.

Maybe that’s why, Tarkan doubted that his struggles hadn’t been enough recently.

It was certainly strange that the warden’s attitude and that they took significantly less than the dwarves and dwarfs.

“The world tree was created for the dwarves, and a workshop was created for the dwarves. Then shouldn’t we also give something to each other?”

There are only five dwarfs imprisoned in purgatory. Six.

Dwarves don’t have anything great, just eight.

In comparison, Tarkan’s race is a whopping fifteen. They are the most numerous in Purgatory, the most cooperative with the Warden, and the worst treated. Did this really turn out right?

wrong.

Submissiveness and submission to the strong are also a way of struggle. If there is a problem, it is the one who takes it for granted.

“Has it been a while since you were hit?”

However, the opponent did not care. Tuk-tuk, knocking on the table and lifting a coffee cup with the other hand.

Take a sip and make a leisurely sound called Yin.

“I am the Great Moon Clan! How dare you…!”

“speech.”

“…So I’m just asking if you’re overdoing it.”

Tarkan lowered his voice and let in ferocity.

“We are the ones who follow the warden’s orders the best and are cooperative. But isn’t it that the most lacking in treatment is the fish you’ve already caught?”

“You guys are already caught prisoners.”

“That is what it means. words.”

“You want to play puns with me?”

“No, that’s…”

Wasn’t the warden the first to make a pun? Tarkan struggled to swallow the excuse to jump out.

“The prisoners are very dissatisfied. Wouldn’t I have to stand up and say something?”

“If you’re dissatisfied, are you going to break out of jail?”

“It’s not like that…”

Kim Woo-jin looked at Tarkan, who was stuttering and making excuses, with a cold gaze.

It’s a question you might try. The two words escape can never be erased from the minds of prisoners in Purgatory.

Kim Woo-jin hated prisoners. More than dwarves, more than elves.

Prisoners are the most important prisoners in Purgatory.

Since warriors are those who fight against a gigantic evil that can destroy the world, it was only natural that those who were more talented and specialized in combat would become heroes.

It was only natural that the beasts who died in battle and lived in battle accounted for the largest percentage, taking that point of view into account.

However, Kim Woo-jin knew that the correct answer was not that.

The proportion of heroes is the highest among humans, and the majority of prisoners are also humans. Even so, the reason why the ratio of beastmen is high is that there is no one who has as much hunger for power as they do.

In his personal opinion, beastmen are no different from civilized orcs.

It is only a little more accustomed to civilization and can be calm and hide its true nature, and its wildness that springs out even with the slightest touch is not easily suppressed.

Born with a fighting instinct. Growing up in an environment where they had to fight, but they had to be strong to be recognized and live, they had a stronger craving for and obsession with power than other races.

That’s why.

In the history of purgatory, both elves and dwarves have released prisoners.

But there is no number.

A race that cannot lose its power even if it loses its life and freedom. Not a single one of them has been released alive since Purgatory was created.

They were worse than dwarves and elves.

However, because they are crazy about power, it is much easier to control them on the contrary.

We respect the strong because we revere the strong. yield to the strong It transcends race and gender.

Kim Woo-jin is overwhelmingly stronger than all the prisoners. Through consultation, the ranks were clearly arranged, and the prisoners lowered their tails on their own.

But seeing him raise his teeth again like that, I wonder if he didn’t let go too much because he’s had a lot of work lately.

“So what do you want?”

However, instead of disciplined again, Kim Woo-jin leaned forward and asked.

Prisoners are pretty good pawns, except for the fact that they erase the word ‘released’ from their heads.

It is because they are loyal to Kim Woo-jin, who defeated them, almost indiscriminately, as the worship of strength does not follow the tribe.

Kim Woo-jin had quite a bit of fun using them. When he entered the prison, other prisoners were feared and Kim Woo-jin played that role whenever he wanted.

It was especially effective against humans.

“Are you listening?”

“Listen and see.”

Tarkan was delighted.

“It’s not that we want anything great. Just as the dwarves obtained the World Tree, where they can find peace of mind, and the dwarves gained the workshop, their eternal home, we also want to find a place that feels like our hometown.”

“Then can I send it to the barn?”

Just as the elves were not sent to the horticulture squad, the beastmen were not sent to the barn either.

Of course I know they’ll never get out of prison, but there’s what if. After about 20 years of doing it, I felt keenly that it was meaningless at all.

“Sometimes he opens an arena.”

“…If you do that, it will be an honor that will never happen again!”

“Yeah, okay, just in case, are you thinking of getting out?”

“There is not!”

It was quite annoying to see him grinning and replying brightly.

Bahak, Tarkan’s face was suddenly hit and his body leaned back. But it was relocated casually.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

“No, I was just annoyed. go out.”

“Yes, thank you! I will tell you to work harder to restore Purgatory!”

Prisoner number 1100, Tarkan Tolis, went out. After a while, the deputy director came in.

“Are you all right?”

“what.”

“After the World Tree incident, the prison is more cluttered than before. In a situation like this, you change things and you don’t know what they will do.”

“Of course you would.”

It is foolish to expect that nothing will happen. Kim Woo-jin erased the flower garden-like hope from his mind.

“Take a close look at Dercain, Siena, and Tarkan. If there is a prison break, those three will definitely be the center.”

“Yes.”

Kim Woo-jin stood up from his seat.

“Where are you going?”

“rooftop.”

After coming to the gardening class, Yulia lived every day in anxiety and nervousness.

“Are you okay?”

“no. It’s not okay.”

Every plant reminded me of the world tree. I couldn’t stand it when I imagined the warden doing anything to the world tree.

“I can’t get out.”

“Please, please!”

“Prisoner number 1178. Go back to your original seat.”

“The mother tree is calling me!”

“I can’t hear anything.”

However, Kim Woo-jin never allowed Yulia to meet the World Tree.

“Don’t make a fuss. only you have to lose Do you want to go to the punishment room?”

If it wasn’t for Sienna Olm, who dried her properly next to her, she would have hit her a hundred times even if she had an accident right away.

Time passed just like that. Time is medicine, she calmed down little by little.

It’s already too revealing.

The warden knows and the prisoners know that she handed over the seeds of the world tree with a trick.

Even if you don’t know exactly what the plan is, it’s something even a stupid bear wouldn’t do to obediently let you see the world tree in such a situation.

But Yulia must see the world tree. And you need to check the state of the World Tree. The same goes for what the warden did.

what is the way

It is not so easy to come up with as much as you have to forcibly create a solution that does not exist in a place where all directions are blocked.

If the hand of salvation had not come down first, he would ‘spoke all his ulterior motives and beg mercilessly’ even for the rest of his life. There wouldn’t have been any other options.

“No. 1178. You are due for departure today. Come out, the warden is calling.”

Receiving the curious stares of the elves, he immediately followed without hesitation. go unconditionally Whether you go and kneel or just pray, you can do anything as long as you can meet the World Tree.

However, the steps that I thought would lead to the director’s office were heading upwards.

“Where are you going?”

Guessed. My heart was pounding. Still, I had to ask.

“You will know when you arrive.”

I know even if you don’t arrive. In line with the ever-increasing energy of the World Tree, her heart rate grew faster.

There it is. can meet You can check.

At the same time as anticipation, anxiety rose.

Why did the warden obediently lead him to the World Tree?

why all of a sudden What is the past that has been controlled so far?

Her head was spinning furiously as she walked down the hallways and stairs, where she could only hear footsteps.

Assumed best and worst.

The best is to meet the world tree like this.

And the worst thing is to let them smell the scent of the world tree in front of the door on the roof and then send them back to solitary confinement.

I couldn’t deny that it was the most appropriate way to harass her, even though I wanted to be really vicious.

‘Please, please, please, please…!’

That’s why Yulia prayed earnestly. When I stood in front of the door to the rooftop, I thought my heart was going to drop.

But when the door opened and she stepped inside, she was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

“What are you doing?”

I stood there and took a breath.

The warden was waiting for her.

“…it’s a bit difficult because there are a lot of stairs.”

“You mean high elves?”

“High elves don’t have infinite stamina.”

Yulia calmly read her heart. As he spoke, his eyes were always on the other side.

“Mother tree.”

The World Tree is a huge tree. It is said that it is a single divine tree, but the numerous branches cannot all be the same.

If there are twigs, there are more important stems. Yulia noticed that the stem that stood tall on the roof was the center of the World Tree.

As if possessed by something, he approached slowly. caressed the swaying tree.

Kim Woo-jin did not stop her actions. I quietly winked and sent the prison guards out. On the wide rooftop, only one human, one high elf, and one tree remained.

“How do you see the state of the World Tree?”

“I thought it would be unstable because of overgrowth, but it is healthier than I thought. And above all…”

Whatever you’ve done, there’s nothing out of the ordinary that stands out.

Yulia swallowed the last words. Even so, it was not something to say openly in front of the person concerned. Especially if that person is the one holding her by the leash.

But Kim Woo-jin noticed what she was trying to say. Calling her in the first place had similar intentions.

“Did you say you were curious about what I did to the World Tree?”

“Are you talking?”

“You did. If there is something coming, there must be something going. Why did you give me the seed of the world tree?”

“Are you going to tell me?”

“It doesn’t work twice. great. If you tell only the truth, I will tell you what I did to the World Tree.”

“I swear to Mother Tree, I will only tell the truth.”

Is it because there is a world tree right next to it? The restraints on her chest felt stronger.

“I gave you the seeds of the World Tree because I wanted you to plant them.”

“What is the purpose?”

“I already said one thing.”

“Information also has quality and grades. Don’t you think what I have is greater?”

“It’s to break out the prisoners.”

It was the answer Kim Woo-jin expected. At the same time, it was also unexpected.

“You don’t seem to be included in being a prisoner.”

“Both are done.”

Now it’s your turn to keep your promise, Yulia said with her eyes.

“I will.”

Kim Woo-jin smiled. It wasn’t even difficult. In fact, it was also the reason for calling Yulia here.

It’s only been a week since the world tree was born.

Due to excessive elixir, it has already grown close to an adult body and has been able to manifest itself as a spirit body, but inside it is no different from a newborn child.

And in Kim Woo-jin’s opinion, children are simple. It is difficult because it is extremely simple, but it is also easy on the contrary.

Just-

When they lightly snapped their fingers, a blue bird that accepted the signal landed between them.

“…the spirit of the mother tree? How already…?”

“Isn’t it normal for trees to come out at this size?”

“That’s the normal case. The mother tree is only a little over two months old now…!”

“Reach out your hand and call the world tree.”

“I beg your pardon?”

“Right now, the world tree is just between you and me. You, a high elf with me. Whose call will you respond to?”

“What kind of nonsense is that all of a sudden?”

Humans and High Elves. It’s not even worth worrying about.

However, there was not an inch of shaking in Kim Woo-jin’s eyes. It was no trivial joke.

Julia realized one thing she had overlooked.

Kim Woo-jin decided to answer what he had done to the world tree. But instead of answering, he wants to summon the spirit of the world tree and say ‘I like my mother, I like my father’.

What does that mean?

‘Because you’re sure that the mother tree will choose you over me?’

No way. Julia denied it. There can be no such thing. At least that’s what common sense she knew.

The relationship between the high elves and the World Tree was not light enough to be easily broken by a mere human.

“like. Let’s try it.”

That’s why I accepted the challenge even though I had a subtle anxiety.

“Mother tree. Would you like to come to me?”

He stretched out his hand and smiled brightly. Beep, beep. The spirit in the form of a blue bird flapped its wings and made a welcome sound.

The spirit body began to fly toward Yulia.

“Come on, Lily. come here.”

Until Kim Woo-jin affectionately called the name of the spirit body.

Beep? The spirit body froze. Looking at Kim Woo-jin and Yulia alternately, he couldn’t hide his confusion.

“Lily? Did you even give me a name?”

“Of course.”

“It is not right to treat mother trees as pets!”

“Then just keep calling it the World Tree? You can also call me a high elf instead of Yulia.”

“…mmm.”

It wasn’t wrong, so Yulia couldn’t refute. But what puzzles her most is not the name itself, but the fact that the spirit is reacting to the name Lily.

‘The name of the mother tree…?’

never imagined never seen one A mother tree is just a mother tree. There is no elf that names it.

“Lily. Come here.”

Beep-

And while she was confused, the elemental body, unable to withstand the repeated calls, decided where to go.

He sits on Kim Woo-jin’s finger and rubs his face against his cheek. Makes a pleasant cry.

“ah···.”

Seeing that, Yulia sat down stunned. It was the first time I experienced what it means to lose strength in my legs. There was no exaggeration in it.

“…the world tree, my God.”

I couldn’t believe it. Unbelievable, she denied reality.

“This, to be pushed aside by a human!”

“That is a racist statement. Like a fucking racist.”

“It’s not the race, it’s the different races! I’m a high elf! Even if you’re an elementalist, this makes no sense…!”

“Is it so rumored? I’m an elementalist?”

“You mean no?”

“No, that’s right. It’s not wrong.”

It is true that the World Tree chose me.

“Hmm, now that it’s clear, there’s no need to delay.”

“What?”

“Yulia Karsen, you wouldn’t want the World Tree uprooted, would you?”

“…you mean uprooting the mother tree?”

Did you even name her Lily? Yulia glared at Kim Woo-jin with a gaze of contempt.

It was a small misunderstanding, but Kim Woo-jin did not bother to correct it. Whether he or the superiors choose, in the end, the outcome is the same.

I just calmly said it again.

“Tell me how to move the World Tree. Otherwise, I will uproot it.”

The words behind it were a little different, but I didn’t care.
