The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 139: "The Evil One"

In the Friend Chat, I confirmed the schedule with Lyra and since everything seemed fine, I [Summoned] the Archbishop to the audience room in Hiers King Castle.

Originally, it would have been better to have done it when I [Subordinated] him that time, but that day was my first login in several days. There were other things I wanted to do, like greeting Blanc, so I ended up postponing it.

"Understood, my lord. It was the content when I heard the divine revelation. It was my first time, so I remember it well...

<< The Raid Boss of the Evil Route has been born in the Liebe Great Forest of the Hiers Kingdom. >>

...Is what it sounded like.

The other bishops did not hear some of the words or places, so there may be variations in the content for each individual."

When I reincarnated as the Demon Lord, the system message that came was "The Specific Disaster Creature [Demon Lord] has been born". If we consider that the information about the location was increased by the Archbishop's [True Wisdom], it's natural to think that "Specific Disaster Creature: Demon Lord" corresponds to the "Raid Boss of the Evil Route".

If the announcement at the time of the Spirit Lord, in terms of the meaning of the words, was "Raid Boss of the Righteous Route", and if that was recorded in literature passed down through generations, then I would be most suspicious.

"...You are the Archbishop of the Aural Holy Church. So, in the Aural Kingdom, you deemed that [Raid Boss of the Evil Route] is an enemy of humanity or a calamity, right? Why is that?"

"I apologize!"

"No, forget about that part."

"In the confidential documents handed down in the Holy Church, there are legends about the one called [Raid Boss]. It is said that at times, it is a compassionate leader guiding humanity, and at other times, it is a fearsome disaster hostile to humanity. Just like humans, there are both good and evil. So, although it was the first time I heard the words, if it's about the [Raid Boss], I thought it was necessary to determine which one it is. However, even if we determine it, if it's a disaster, just making contact would lead to a situation involving the survival of the nation. I cannot easily meet it.

However, in this divine revelation, the description [Evil Route] was attached. Since this was only heard by me in the Aural Holy Church, it seems that, thanks to the [True Wisdom] gained through my training, I understood its authenticity without the need to determine further."

This is a normal judgment. This is not a modern society governed by the rule of law and it's reasonable to act on the principle of 'destroying the suspicious' rather than 'do not punish the one not proven guilty'.

However, now I have grasped the overview of the World Announcement.

There are no separate skills or anything based on the faction.

There are just different interpretations of those who hear the announcements.

"But what is this Evil Route..."

"It's not like I don't understand, but emotionally, it's hard to accept."

I don't intend to say ethical things, but as an existence, there doesn't seem to be a difference between, for example, humans and goblins. If I were to say, there are cultural differences, and that leads to differences in experience points acquired when killing them, but considering other factors like reproductive ability, goblins might even be more valuable.

It's the developers that created humans and goblins in the first place, and I feel a strong sense of discomfort that they have divided them into "Righteous" and "Wicked" in terms of race. Unlike players, NPCs cannot choose their own race.
