I Got a Gallery in the Wild - Chapter 377

The alpha and omega of human civilization is language. It was through language that civilization could be born.

And what developed that civilization to a near-infinite degree can be said to be letters and books.

A book is a medium that can contain a person’s thoughts, skills, and experiences.

Many say that if books did not exist, the world would never have escaped the primitive era.

No matter how high human intelligence may be, it is impossible to remember everything in the world.

To avoid forgetting those memories, we ’record’ them, and the collection of those records is what we call a book.

In modern civilization, where technology has developed rapidly, the status of books has declined, but their value remains the same.

Title) The Place Grylls Found

Isn’t it practically more than a treasure trove?

Even just one of them seems like its value would transcend imagination lol

└ Would it really just be at the level of a treasure trove? lol It’s at the level of a holy relic lol

└ Everyone. As of today, history is changing!

└ The comment above: It actually changed.

└ Scholars are probably going to foam at the mouth lol

Title) What should we call that era?

I was half-doubting it before, but now we have to make it official.

The era when the gods were active is the mythical era, but now it’s been proven that there was also an era when those gods fought and clashed with each other.

So what are we going to call that era? Looking at it, the duration seems incredibly long too.

└ Can’t we just lump it all together as the ancient era?

└ For real, why think so complicatedly about it hahaha

└ Is it right for the ancient era to come before the mythical era?

└ Then what are you going to call it?

└ True. There’s nothing fitting to call it.

└ Smart people will figure it out and decide lol

Title) My biggest curiosity

Did the gods draw lewd pics too?

If they did, I bet they drew them mind-blowingly well. I’m fucking curious.

└ This crazy bastard hahaha Of course they drew them.

└ The reaction of thinking it’s obvious is hilarious hahaha

└ Honestly, the gods are humans similar to us, so would they not have sexual desire?

└ They probably had it. They just transcended it.

└ Maybe they even made them into videos. Seriously.

└ Why with that kind of technology...;;

└ They make those things precisely because they have technology to spare.

└ Shit, it’s funny how highly persuasive that is hahaha

The library Grylls discovered was the perfect example.

While all electronic devices had gone dead, the paper books remained steadfast.

The living wiki, Alex, was also practically close to ’life’, which was why he could survive.

Thanks to this, the world fell into even greater chaos than before. It was far worse than when Grylls discovered the ancient ruins—that is, the bunker.

After all, these were books that fully contained the very ’knowledge’ and ’experience’ of the gods. It was bound to make everyone go wild.

Title) The gods are actually humans who came from outside the world?

They really are gods then.

So we should praise them even more, yep.

└ Isn’t that summarizing it a bit too much?;;

└ They are no different from the parents of current humanity, so they really are gods.

└ That’s true.

└ If you don’t call them gods, what are you going to call them? Ancient humanity?

└ That sounds way too uncool.

└ Let’s just call them gods, yep.

└ Then does that mean if we develop that much, we can become gods too?

└ If you can manage it lol

└ They created another humanity, so at that point, they really are gods hahaha

└ Can you beat up a dragon?

Title) I don’t understandVisit nove​lping.com for the full chapter.

They say dragons of the ancient mythical era used magic too, so who did the dragons learn it from?

└ The magic used by the gods and the magic used by dragons are slightly different. It’s the difference between instinct and reason.

└ Elves and the Demon Race can easily use up to the 3rd circle. It’s easy to think of it as a similar principle.

└ But why did they lose?

└ Because they wrecked them with physical force, not magic hahaha

└ If a dragon took a direct hit from that thing called a missile, wouldn’t it get blown to pieces in one shot?

Even though the true identity of the gods was revealed to be ancient humanity, there was no issue with people’s faith.

As had been consistently mentioned, the gods of this world were beings possessing power and technology ’close’ to omnipotence and omniscience.

Rather, the fact that they could access that knowledge through Grylls threw them into a collective state of excitement.

"Wow. That’s amazing."

The Hero, Asella, who was resting at home while eating bread, expressed her admiration at the current situation.

She had been consistently watching Grylls’s actions during every break.

Recently, she had been healing mentally ill patients with the Empty Sky Stone Milk she received from him.

She was watching the broadcast (?) for a brief rest, and fascinating things were popping out one after another.

’No wonder precious items came out when we killed Mimics. There was a reason for it.’

Currently, Asella was in a situation where having two, or even three bodies, would not be enough.

It was already difficult enough just reorganizing the Holy Kingdom, whose name had now changed to Avalon, yet she was even stepping up to do volunteer work.

The people around her clamored for her to at least rest from volunteer work, saying they would do it instead.

But who was Asella? She was praised by the world as the Hero, and she was someone who truly deserved that title.

She was neglecting none of her duties, working hard for the revival of Avalon.

Her current rest was only for a brief moment; as soon as she finished her bread, she planned to get straight back to work.

’I guessed as much from the ancient ruins we found last time, but the gods really were ancient humanity.’

Asella munched on her bread while listening to what the master of the library, Alex, was saying.

The information Grylls was currently showing was beyond shocking—it was practically like a tsunami.

Even so, it had no negative impact on Asella. Rather, it was quite the opposite.

’Even though Goddess Aris possessed such power and technology, she did not rule over us directly. They truly are merciful beings.’

Her faith toward the gods who bestowed mercy and freedom, especially toward Aris, grew deeper than before.

There was something she realized through the incident caused by the Vatican. That human greed is endless.

Aris and the other gods must have been humans too, yet they stepped back without showing greed.

Even if they had acted like real gods, no rebellion would have occurred. To current humanity, they were indeed real gods.

What a noble and exemplary legacy. The more she dug into it, the deeper her faith was bound to grow.

’To summarize... before the gods descended here, they had a world of their own, right? And that world was destroyed because the gods waged war against each other.’

The place where those traces remained most clearly was the Forest of the Four Seasons.

Although ancient ruins were occasionally discovered outside the Forest of the Four Seasons, they were extremely rare.

In a way, the entire Forest of the Four Seasons was at a level where it could be called a ’Holy Land’.

The problem, however, was that the moment one set foot in that Holy Land, their life could not be guaranteed.

’Now I have one more reason why I must go there.’

So what of it? Asella’s vermilion eyes sparkled even more brightly.

Beyond just a Holy Land, it was the region where the gods were born and raised. As a cleric, she couldn’t help but be interested.

In a way, she thought Ludwig might be the luckiest cleric in the world.

Meeting Grylls in that vast land was a miracle in itself, and now he had even obtained that knowledge.

Of course, envy aside, she had no intention of going there recklessly. She still had her mission remaining.

’I want to go after finishing all my work, but it’s hard because the work is piled up like a mountain.’

Reorganizing Avalon was already difficult, but Grylls’s ’request’ also remained.

Since it was a request, it wouldn’t have mattered if she refused, but his mindset was so noble that she couldn’t bring herself to decline.

’Perhaps...’

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her. Circumstantially, Grylls was also a person included in ancient humanity.

Although he didn’t possess transcendent martial power like Aris, nor was he master of all magic like Aragon.

His martial power grew in a strange direction, and his intelligence was not particularly outstanding except in combat.

In terms of intelligence, the albino gorilla right next to him, Lackey, was far superior.

However, when chewing over Grylls’s actions one by one, he was far removed from an ordinary person.

As if by fate, he woke up in the Forest of the Four Seasons, and furthermore, he exerted large and small influences on the world.

’Could Grylls-nim be something like a Herald of God?’

The Heralds of the gods that naturally appear in myths. In Asella’s eyes, Grylls was exactly that.You are reading on novelping(.)com, the official source.

Even if his appearance was rather strange, looking only at his actions, he was worthy of being called a Herald.

Especially this time, is he not finding a library and sharing the knowledge of the gods?

It was as if the gods were revealing their traces through someone else.

’The very fact that only Grylls-nim could use the Gallery in that Forest of the Four Seasons was strange.’

It was a classic case of interpreting a dream better than the dream itself. As a deeply devout cleric, Asella interpreted it in that direction.

Furthermore, thanks to Grylls, Ludwig survived, and the Vatican was completely cleaned up, wasn’t it?

It was one of the decisive reasons why the current Avalon could be born. Without him, she would still be a fugitive.

Delivering prophecies or knowledge, or occasionally giving direct help through useful items.

If anyone else heard this, they would call it a bizarre idea.

After all, the Grylls shown in the Gallery right now was nothing more than a common Gallery denizen, except for the fact that he was active in the Forest of the Four Seasons.

No one thought of him as a divine being. Since his image was what it was, it couldn’t be helped.

’Heralds are naturally supposed to have a frivolous image anyway!’

She was completely mistaken. She was wearing some seriously thick rose-colored glasses.

A religious person’s unique self-interpretation and faith. And even gratitude toward her benefactor.

Because these emotions worked in combination, her mind gradually leaned in a dangerous direction.

As said earlier, it was all in the interpretation. Above all, Grylls was the person who helped Asella when she was going through her hardest times.

’Could badmouthing the gods... be like badmouthing one’s boss?’

It was a thought that would have made Grylls foam at the mouth and throw a fit if he had heard it.

But unfortunately, Grylls could not know Asella’s mind. There was no way for him to know.

’Could his abnormal growth also be because he is from the same ancient humanity as the gods? His lack of memories in between... must surely have a grave reason.’

Asella nodded. She felt as if the puzzle pieces were falling into place one by one.

Of course, there was the error that her ’criteria’ were extremely bizarre, but no one was there to correct her.

’I must work hard too. I cannot bring such a precious person to a humble place.’

There was still a lot of work left. Asella stuffed the bread into her mouth and checked the Gallery.

To be precise, it was her private chat history. It was to check the books Grylls had lent her.

If he had traded books related to weapons in the middle, she planned to warn him.

Just being bored was not a good enough reason. The most dangerous thing about the weapons of the gods was that they could actually be ’crafted’.

Current humanity could not handle those weapons. Hadn’t even the gods been unable to handle them, resulting in the destruction of their homeland?

’Hmm... fortunately, there’s nothing like that.’

It was just when Asella was feeling relieved inwardly. A message arrived.

[Wild Grylls: Hello, Asella-nim.]

[Don’t Abandon the Hero: Yes! I’m available to talk!]

[Wild Grylls: Are you available to talk?]

[Wild Grylls: ...?]

Grylls was greatly flustered by her reply, which seemed to have read the future.

But that was only for a moment; he brought up the topic he wanted.

[Wild Grylls: It’s nothing else, but I wanted to give you a book. It might be quite useful to you, Asella-nim.]

[Don’t Abandon the Hero: What kind of book is it!]

[Wild Grylls: I gave one to Ludwig ahjussi too, but it turns out I had one more. It’s called the Bible, and I think it can offer some good words.]

[Don’t Abandon the Hero: Yes! Thank you! I will read it well!]

Just as Ludwig had, Asella ended up receiving the Bible.

Since the book was extremely thick, it seemed like it would take a considerable amount of time to read it all.

’But that’s fine!’

Since the Herald had delivered it, she was absolutely going to read it.

Grylls, who had handed over the books to the first-come-first-served winner and Asella respectively.

Originally, he had only planned to give them to these three people, but he lent one to one more person.

[Passing Dwarf: So what is this again? A chicken recipe?]

[Wild Grylls: Yep, it’s something seriously delicious. Take a look and try making it.]

[Passing Dwarf: Is this also something the gods ate often?]

[Wild Grylls: It’s literally the food that goes best with beer. I thought you’d absolutely love it.]

[Passing Dwarf: Oh... thx thx, I’ll enjoy it.]

[Wild Grylls: Don’t eat too much or you’ll gain weight, so eat in moderation. Oh, and can you measure the oil temperature?]

[Passing Dwarf: I should be able to do it with an inscribed machine?]

It was the recipe for the side dish that the dwarf needed most.
