I did just that. Even if you are a great sage, you are not a god, and you would want to know how to know such a thing.
But I knew. that she has the ability to figure it out.
– You’re making pretty novel demands.
“Is it impossible?”
– No, it’s not impossible. It has all the necessary conditions.
A loud gasp was heard.
At the words of the great sage, Ashel’s eyes trembled as if an earthquake had occurred.
The Great Sage said to Ashel.
– I need your blood, so just drop a few drops on the floor.
“·······Yes, yes.”
Ashhel hurriedly cut her arm with a knife, causing blood to flow.
I watched the scene quietly from the side.
Her blood, which fell to the floor, formed a small puddle.
– Please explain briefly. The magic that will be unfolded from now on is a magic that searches for beings that have the same roots as your blood. In a word, you can understand it as a magic that can find your people.
The great sage raised his magic and explained.
Asher, who was stunned, asked in a trembling voice.
“Does that mean it’s possible to find my people no matter how far away they are?”
– It’s basically impossible. No matter how much magical power it possesses, is it possible to search across the entire continent?
“Then how…?”
– But if I combine one of my mysteries with magic, it’s possible for a very short time. If you have to explain that part, you won’t understand anyway, so just let me know that.
Ashel shut her mouth.
After all, it wasn’t the magic principle that mattered to her, but whether or not she really had a living kind.
woo woo.
A mixture of golden and black energy settled in the blood that Ashhel shed.
One was the magic of the great sage, and the other was the power of unknown origin. Perhaps it was the mystery the great sage spoke of.
Soon, a translucent sphere appeared in the air just above the blood, and the magic that was wriggling within the sphere drew an arrow.
Asher swallowed her saliva with a nervous look on her face, and I watched the result with a sullen eye, a little nervous in a different sense.
To be honest, I had a little bit of hope.
In the game, there were no survivors except for Ashel, but it could be different here.
Naturally, I, too, wished deeply for that very small possibility. However······.
slurp.
The arrow, which had been spinning dizzyingly in all directions like a broken compass, disappeared again.
I sighed inwardly.
Small expectations were betrayed, and the results were obvious.
Not understanding what that meant, Ashel turned her gaze to the Great Sage.
– Hmmm…
The great sage nodded slightly.
– does not exist.
“······Yes?”
“The fact that there are no Baekwol tribes on this continent except you. That’s the result.
Hearing those words, Ashel stiffened.
He stared blankly at the sphere floating in the air and did not move.
Searching for surviving kin.
That would have been the sole purpose of Ashel’s life, and it would have been the driving force to sustain it.
…but it’s all over.
It was only after I got to this point that I regretted it a little later. Wasn’t it too hasty?
Was it not that she was so swayed by the main story that she inflicted a lot of pain on her without considering her current condition?
“············”.
Despite that worry, there was not even the slightest tremor in Ashhel’s expression.
There was no sadness, no denial, no anger, no reaction.
I just closed and opened my eyes once, and muttered with utterly bitter eyes.
“Is that so.”
On the other hand, it was a calm voice that even felt remorseful.
I looked at her like that and asked the great wise man.
“…isn’t there any chance that the result will be wrong?”
“No. The magic unfolded perfectly. You can do it again if you want, but it won’t change the outcome.”
The Great Sage turned to Ashhel and said.
– I’m sorry, I’m a child of the White Moon clan. I don’t know why your clan was annihilated, but…
Ashel shook her head.
“No. Thank you so much for spreading the magic.”
Ashel seemed to have fully accepted the truth told by the Great Sage.
To be honest, I didn’t expect such a calm reaction, so I was surprised inside.
Even if she didn’t have much expectation for the existence of the surviving clan, now even a glimmer of hope has disappeared and has not been completely confirmed. The fact that the Baekwol tribe was left alone in this world.
Maybe he thought that he had not completely settled his heart during the ordeal.
‘·······Anyway, it went well.’
Well, this should have worked out fine.
I couldn’t find anything to say for a moment, then opened my mouth.
“Are you okay?”
Ashel nodded her head.
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
“············”.
“It’s really okay, Ron-sama. It’s just a bit of a letdown. The fact that I am the last White Moon clan on this continent, and the fact that the clan will no longer be inherited…”
Then the great sage intervened.
– What does that mean that the line of the clan does not continue?
“Yes? Well, now I’m the only one left on the continent, so…”
She looked at Ashel as if puzzled, and said as if she understood.
– Ah… did you not know? The Baekwol tribe is a race that can reproduce between humans and other species.
“······Yes?”
– If a white wolf reproduces with a human and produces offspring, there is a half chance that a white wolf will be born. Even if you are the only one left in this world, it is not impossible to leave a descendant.
Ashel blankly blinked her eyes.
– So, if you reproduce with a human male to give birth to a White Yue, and your children reproduce with another human to give birth to a White Yue, and your descendants continue to carry on the lineage of the Bai Yue in this way… · Well, even if it takes a very long time to flourish again, at least your clan’s legacy will not be cut off. did you understand
“············”.
– So, find a human male, marry him, and leave as many offspring as possible. That’s the only advice I can give you.
Ashel nodded with a puzzled face and muttered a little.
“······Human male.”
Then he glanced at me and shook his head in amazement when our eyes met.
“Oh, no…”
“···········?”
“No, I’m absolutely sorry that…”
what are you talking about
I wondered why I wanted to go there, but then I turned off my mind and moved my gaze to the great sage.
Now that time is running out, I have a question I want to ask.
“Great sage.”
– Well?
“Are you aware of the existence of another dimension?”
Ruins of Cabolissa (5)
This continent of Lakyronia was nothing more than a game.
Earth was the original real world.
The phenomenon of possessing that I became the body I am now, the character in the game, was the beginning of everything and the biggest question I have in my mind.
And, of course, I have never talked about it with anyone until now. It had no meaning or benefit.
But what if you were a great sage?
I questioned him for the first time with very little expectation.
– Another dimension of the world?
“Yeah, I’m talking about a world with completely different laws and different civilizations from this world. Do you know anything about the existence of such a different world?”
The great wise man looked puzzled at my question.
– Well, I don’t know. It’s a different dimension of the world, so I don’t have any knowledge about it, at least to the extent that it has a meaningful basis.
“You mean you don’t know anything?”
– Yes. I remember hearing a few similar hypotheses put forward by some idiots, but they’re all just the realm of futile fantasies without any basis.
. . . .
It seems that no matter how great a wise man is, he cannot get an answer.
I changed the question a bit.
“Then, do you feel any sense of alienation about my existence?”
I am from a completely different world, so maybe I have something to say about him.
Again, this was a question I asked without much expectation, but the great sage looked at me blankly and answered immediately.
– Come to think of it······.
“···········?”
– Well, I thought it was just my mood, but after hearing that, I understand. There seems to be a subtle sense of separation in your soul. The soul can be known because it is one of the disciplines that I have dug most deeply in my life.
“A sense of disparity?”
– Yes, that kind of separation, as if the soul did not interlock with the body strangely.
I opened my eyes wide at the exact words that stabbed my pulse.
Soul and body do not interlock.
Doesn’t that mean the possessive phenomenon that happened to me without thinking?
“therefore?”
– So? All you have to do is feel that feeling. If you want to ask the cause, I also have no way of knowing.
I was a little excited for a moment, but then the mood subsided.
Yeah, I don’t even know about the existence of other worlds, so can you dig up more information related to this?
Even so, if there was any harvest, it was hope that the phenomenon of possessiveness that happened to me would not be an unknown area where there was no way to delve into it.
‘It’s a feeling of separation between body and soul…’
At that time, the great sage, who was looking at me with strange eyes, tried to say something.
– I wish I could, but you…
Paah!
But at that moment, the magic circle on the floor shone brightly, and the shape of the great sage was distorted.
Slowly fading, she let out a small sigh.
– Looks like the time is running out. Unfortunately, the conversation ends here, adventurers.
I asked her.
“Are you completely extinct now?”
– Yes. In the first place, he was barely holding onto his soul with magic from his dead body.
If I had more time, I could have asked a little more.
I stared at her slowly disappearing with regret.
– You can take whatever remains in the ruins, including this staff, if you want. then······.
Soon, her soul completely disappeared and disappeared.
I stared at the empty space for a moment, then took my hand to the staff.
Even if I didn’t have to tell you, of course I was going to take it with me.
I pulled out the tip that was stuck to the floor and looked at it.
‘The Great Sage’s Staff.’
He didn’t give me a detailed explanation, but having played the game, I was well aware of the abilities contained in this magical item.
Of course, let alone a wizard, it was a useless item to me, who had no magic power.
Anyway, it is a very good item as the great sage used it while he was alive, so you could give it to anyone later.
Rigon is also very talented in magic, so if he grows up much more than he is now, I’ll let him use it.
“············”.
I grabbed my wand and looked back at Ashel.
She looked as if she had been a little lost in the past.
He said it was okay, but was it still a big shock, or was it because of the story the great sage had told him? I didn’t know exactly which one it was.
‘It must be embarrassing…’
The story the great sage had told me earlier was quite absurd but realistic advice.
In any case, there was only one White Moon clan left in this world, Ashel, and it was as if the fate of the clan was on her shoulder.
Even if I were in her position, I would have felt so absurd and heavy on my heart.
The choice is hers, but her personality doesn’t seem to allow the clan’s pulse to be cut off like this forever.
In the end, all I had to do was find the person I loved and leave a descendant who inherited the blood of the Baekwol clan, following the advice of the great sage.
“Achelle.”
When I called my name, Ashel looked back at me, startled again.
“Yes, Ron.”
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I asked her calmly.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
Now there is little reason for her to stay with me any longer.
Because I have come to realize for sure that there is no surviving clan.
Of course, I have no regrets about this choice. Rather, she was more relieved because she was showing such a calm side.
The choice from now on was solely hers, and I had no intention of stopping her even if she wanted to leave my side like this.
“The reason you became my escort in the first place was to persuade you to make your reputation known on the continent.”
