How To Live As A Writer In A Fantasy World chapter 452

While Elena surveyed the harbor under the scorching heat of the desert, the expedition followed King Morgan’s instructions to investigate the interior of the palace.

The reenactment of the situation the demons had shown no longer occurred, but the tension could not be relaxed even for a moment.

[Records should be kept…]

“Ahh!”

Even if it wasn’t to reproduce the situation, ghosts came out in the middle and made the conversation cool.

It didn’t show the urgency of the slave, Arthur Michele, when he went to see King Morgan, but it didn’t disappear.

Like this, when I go there sometimes, a ghost comes out and mumbles words, or wanders aimlessly.

He made the expedition team by surprise in real time, and was so surprised that the archaeologist, Benfis, even fainted.

“Hey, Cardinal Deimos. How can this not work?”

Benfis, who had fainted and came to his senses, asked Deimos in a trembling voice.

So far, he has visited numerous ruins and met a ghost, but this is too serious.

Besides, spirits can even talk, muttering like a psychopath or repeating the same actions over and over again, and I felt like I was going crazy.

“I’m sorry, but the ghost will continue to appear unless the subject ascends to heaven.”

“Maybe that subject is…”

“… maybe even King Morgan can’t control it.”

Unless King Morgan ascends to heaven, the appearance of a ghost is inevitable. As soon as Benfis heard that, he thought about it, but in the end he had no choice but to obey.

Rather than ask King Morgan, he’ll do more than just go and die. Rather, it is better to continuously develop your courage while doing research.

Thus, the expedition members began to slowly look around the ‘Library’ that existed for 3,000 years ago.

A library is a collection of knowledge with many books gathered in one place. Even a single book boasts enormous value, but what about the library?

“Oh my God. This is a book, isn’t it? It’s not just one, but several.”

“It’s a book from 3000 years ago…

Of course, as soon as I saw the books in the library’s bookshelves, I couldn’t help but be amazed.

There were many bookshelves and books that were damaged in the chaos, but due to the size of the library, there were quite a lot of good items.

Scholars tried to keep records somehow, but their efforts were never in vain.

In particular, the fact that there are many ‘books’ as well as scrolls gave them a divine shock. Even though it is a royal palace, I have never seen so many ancient books.

Nowadays, books were easily available due to the development of papermaking technology, but in the distant past, they were literally exclusive to a certain class.

It would have been difficult to obtain even if it was just parchment, but the ‘books’ gathered together are enough to fill the bookshelf.

Moreover, thanks to the desperate efforts of scholars just before the destruction, the state of preservation was very good, and the records therein were intact.

“Delphine. Can you decipher this once?”

“Let’s see… May 13, 653. Huh? 653? It must have been 3,500 years ago when Albenheim was founded?”

“Then, is it that the Kingdom of Gerios was founded at a time earlier than Albenheim?”

“It’s absurd. It can’t be…”

But that expectation soon turned into a huge shock. The book I picked up at random made it possible to deduce the date of the founding of the kingdom of Gerios.

The first civilization and a civilization established at a time earlier than Albenheim, which was founded 3500 years ago. Scholars could hardly believe it.

Although the demon war broke out 3,000 years ago, that was also a rough estimate. For humans, this is truly a myth.

However, there are elves with a maximum lifespan of 1000 years, and Albenheim is a country that has never been invaded except for tribal wars.

Naturally, there are more detailed records than other civilizations, and it is possible to pinpoint the exact year of the Demon War.

“According to the records of the Holy Land, it was 2940 years ago when the demon war, to be precise, the demon’s existence was recognized. Still, the founding period is very similar…”

“Then other civilizations existed from the beginning, and Albnheim was founded late?”

“I don’t know yet. We need to take a closer look at the records. And we shouldn’t be the only ones to judge this. I think all scholars in the world should come together to judge.”

There was a civilization founded earlier than Albenheim, widely known as the first civilization. It was also a nation founded by humans, not elves.

This alone is a huge truth that will turn the world upside down. Probably the most distrustful in Albenheim.

In the midst of confusion, Benfis and Delphine began to look for other records one by one. This requires more detailed research, so it is necessary to check other things first.

“January 13, 152… At that time, there were also text messages? By the way…”

“I think this is a record related to astronomy. It’s clear from the detailed classification of the constellations here.”

Even though it must have been submerged in seawater, the records, including books, were preserved more neatly than expected.

Perhaps it was a special treatment in consideration of the geographical feature of being close to the sea.

Of course, since this was only a guess, an in-depth study is needed. It is a ruin that has been dormant for 3,000 years, so it will take a long time to research.

As a result, archaeologists have acquired knowledge about the kingdom of Gerios by constantly examining the records.

“Ummm…”

But Deimos, who was watching it, couldn’t help but get nervous. He wanted Benfis and Delphine to focus elsewhere.

Even the civilization that was founded at a time earlier than Albenheim is shocking, but something bigger than this remains. As far as the trust goes, that is.

Luminus said that he did not mind digging into these truths as much as he wanted. However, the truth that is immersed in a deep and dark place like the deep sea must be thrown to the appropriate place.

What the hell is that truth? It is unknown at the moment, but it is sure to bring a big wave.

Perhaps it is something that can affect the gods as well. That should definitely be blocked.

“Hmm. Hmm. Mr. Benfis. And Mr. Delphine.”

“yes?”

“What happened?”

Two archaeologists who were excitedly studying Deimos’s call raised their doubts. They held a scroll with a picture in their hand.

In response, Deimos made a very appealing proposal to them with his characteristic, benevolent tone.

“I’d like to suggest that you find something more in-depth rather than the archives in the library. King Morgan gave permission earlier, so that’s fine.”

“When it comes to in-depth documentation…”

“I mean records that only the king or his equivalent can read.”

“Oh oh······!”

As soon as they heard those words, Benfis and Delphine’s eyes filled with anticipation. It’s as if a beggar starved for several days before the feast.

As soon as Deimos saw that expression, he knew he had consented and ordered the paladins to escort him.

Where only the king and his equivalent can access, there must be traps and other monsters.

First of all, it is important to find it there. The palace itself is not very spacious, so it shouldn’t be difficult to find it.

“…are you here?”

“Ah. Maybe.”

“Aren’t you still wide open?”

It wasn’t really difficult to find. There was a very cool open gate inside the library.

At first, it was openly open and everyone was suspicious, but after seeing the pattern engraved on the door, I was able to nod my head.

The same pattern was engraved on the gate leading to the audience. It must be a pattern that symbolizes the king.

I don’t know why it’s placed inside the library, not in the bedroom or audience, but it’s important to find it.

“Are you heading to the basement?”

“I’m sure you left only important records.”

“Come on, let’s go. In case you don’t know, the Paladins should be equipped with blessings and weapons.”

As if exploring a dungeon, the expedition team went down to the basement in tight tension. He did not forget to illuminate the surroundings with divine power.

“Isn’t it like a place where the tombs of kings are enshrined rather than a place where records are kept?”

“Hmm…that’s probably not the case. Usually, the king’s tomb is built in a separate building. It’s a problem because the outside is all swept away.”

The road down to the basement was quite deep. To the extent that the air feels thin.

How the hell did he leave such an important record that he even made a basement like this with ancient technology?

The expedition did not let go of the tension while being curious about the existence of the basement. You never know when or where something weird will pop out.

how low did it go Before long they were able to set their feet on flat ground rather than on stairs.

“here is······”

“There are a lot of rooms…”

A long corridor and doors arranged on either side of it. The expedition members looked around the hallway with different eyes.

The atmosphere is eerie and eerie, but it is a hallway that stimulates anxiety.

In addition, the tightly closed doors in each room aroused curiosity. what’s inside me

The moment Benfis was about to take a step forward, a paladin next to him hurriedly raised his arm and stopped him.

“I don’t know what it might be. You better be careful.”

“Oh, yes. I see.”

“It would be better to enter the room in the front first. There may be traps, so be careful…”

Deimos had no choice but to stop talking. Because it was because of the scene that caught my eye as soon as it was revealed with divine power.

It is true that there are pitfalls. To be precise, only the ‘traces’ where the traps existed are left behind.

A huge mace was lying on the floor, and in the middle of the hallway was a large boulder.

It’s very minor, but countless arrows are also lying on the floor. Clearly, it is a sign that someone set the trap.

“By the way, didn’t it say that descendants came first?”

“It is, but…”

King Morgan said with his own mouth. It is said that his descendants had arrived here before.

It is presumed that these traps were probably triggered by their descendants. Still, just in case, I asked the scholars about when the trap was triggered.

“Even if you take it as long, it doesn’t seem like it’s been more than 30 years.”

“······okay.”

Thanks to that, I think I can go through the hallway very easily. Still, just in case you didn’t know, I forgot to turn on the Holy Shield just in case.

As I said before, the expedition team arrived to open the door from the front, but…

“…isn’t it open?”

“There is no handle. How the hell do you open it?”

Whether there was a special key or not, he did not think that the tightly closed door would open.

I wanted to forcefully open it, but I didn’t know what was going to happen, so I decided to leave it as it is.

Instead, I could find out what these doors and hallways were and for what purpose they were enshrined.

“It seems to be the place where the tombs of successive kings and records about them are contained.”

“How do you know that?”

“It has the same letters on it as the name I saw on the scrolls in the library earlier. Probably the name of the king.”

In fact, the name written in ancient language is engraved above the door. The expedition members nodded at Delphine’s explanation.

“Then King Morgan’s records…”

“It’s likely to exist. I don’t know if the door is open.”

“I think it would be better to check the open door first.”

None. There really wasn’t one.

The doors were all closed, and only the thoroughly destroyed traps could be seen.

I don’t know who the hell passed this place, so it’s all broken. It was the idea of the expedition passing through the hallway.

Of course, thanks to that, I was able to walk forward without getting hurt. Now that I have come to know this, the hallway was longer than I expected.

It was a moment to admire the ancient technology once more that the air is not thin even in this case.

“Huh? Is the door open over there?”

Then one of the paladins pointed a hand in one place. The expedition members shifted their gaze in the direction he was pointing.

As the paladin said, unlike other places, there was only one space with the door wide open.

One peculiar thing is that there is no door opposite the wide open door. And so was the hallway behind it.

If the countless gates you’ve seen along the way are the tombs and archives of successive kings, it must be King Morgan’s tomb.

It was only a guess, but the expedition members believed so.

Eventually, when I entered the room expected to be King Morgan’s tomb…

“·······The ashes.”

“Given the skeleton, I don’t think it’s King Morgan.”

They were able to find the remains. The ashes sitting at the desk to record the end of the kingdom of Gerios.

Behind the desk was a square stone tomb. This made it clear that the basement was the tomb of successive kings.

Unlike the kings of other countries, they do not build tombs, but place them underground. It can be seen as a simple yet rustic tradition in many ways.

“There is no body.”

“Since the kingdom has fallen, it must be natural.”

Of course, there was no body of King Morgan in the tomb. It was empty with nothing.

King Morgan would have fought against the demons to the very end, so the corpse’s integrity converges to zero. This was not even questioned by archaeologists.

The only thing they care about the most is the ashes sitting at their desks. Benfis cautiously headed towards the ashes.

Soon they found a piece of parchment lying on the desk. just······

“Hmm? What? Any traces of someone burning it?”

“What do you mean?”

“Look at this. There’s soot at the end.”

There were only traces of someone burning the parchment with fire. Fortunately, it was relatively close, so there was no difficulty in reading the record.

However, the damage itself is a problem. It was an unforgivable act for them, as each record was like a treasure.

At this, Delphine clicked his tongue and felt very sorry.

“Is it the descendants that King Morgan spoke of?”

“Well, let’s read it once. It’s a record I wrote desperately until the moment the kingdom was destroyed.”

“Could you please read it aloud?”

Just as the archaeologists were about to decipher it, Deimos intervened and asked.

He instinctively realized at once that that was the ‘truth’ mentioned in the oracle. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be here.

So, I had no choice but to ask in an urgent voice, which is not usual.

“For now, let’s go outside for a while.”

“All right.”

Deimos, who finally sent the paladins out of the tomb, blinked at the archaeologists.

Archaeologists questioned his actions for a while and began to read slowly, deciphering them.

“December 25, 942. Milek Malto, the last secretary of the kingdom of Gerios, will leave the last record. All the information contained here will be revealed to be true, and it will be the last legacy that our kingdom of Gerios will leave while traveling the world. . So that posterity who reads this doesn’t make the same mistake, and that the truth we’ve revealed doesn’t disappear.”

“The Kingdom of Gerios was able to gain a strong position in the western end and traverse the continent and sea. There were many hardships and adversity in the process, but it was able to persevere and maintain its dynasty. But was it because of that? No matter how strong Even mortals have completely forgotten how weak they are in the face of God’s wrath.”

Words that simultaneously show fear and dignity toward God. For a scribe of the kingdom on the brink of destruction, it was rather plain content.

Of course, since I wrote it in writing, I don’t feel any sense of urgency, but by looking at the handwriting, I could roughly infer how urgent it was.

Even if it wasn’t scribbled, there were plenty of traces of that in the middle.

Benfis and Delphine carefully unfolded the slightly curled parchment and read the next page.

“Thinking we were located at the western end, we explored the whole world by sea. Even when land was blocked, we conducted maritime trade through a strong navy, and instead devoured the blocked land and incorporated it into the kingdom of Gerios. gave us strength, but at the same time conveyed truths we should never know.”

“The truth is…”

The archaeologists paused as they spoke. At the same time, they looked at each other and then shifted their gaze to Deimos behind them.

A deep embarrassment was engraved on the faces of the two scholars, and their eyes were trembling as if they were confused.

The reaction made Deimos even more curious. What the hell is it that you’re so startled by what’s been written?

Also, why are you looking into your own eyes? He looked at the scholars with eyes hidden behind thick eyebrows, and then opened his mouth quietly.

“Come on, read it.”

“·······”

“·······”

At Deimos’ words, the scholars look at each other once again. Traces of deep distress are engraved on his face.

Just as Deimos was about to scream in frustration, Delphine swallowed his saliva and opened his mouth with a trembling voice.

“The truth is that… this world has already been destroyed once by the war of the gods.”

“······What?”

“and······”

Whether Deimos was surprised or not, Delphine continued speaking.

“The mortals who survived destruction have permeated this land.”

*****

“Isaac.”

“yes?”

“If you could finish a book about your world, what book would you write next?”

Little Isaac blinked when he heard Marie’s question. Currently, they enjoy a brief tea time in their bedroom.

It’s been a long time since we’ve been alone, so I came up with that word while all kinds of stories were being talked about.

At this, Isaac raised his gaze upward, blinked, shrugged his shoulders, and opened his mouth.

“I have one thought. For example, a story right before the end of the world? Maybe I should write that.”

“You say you use something like that? Is that possible?”

“It’s not impossible. Were there a lot of that type of work in our world?”

In particular, there is one very famous game among the games. The struggle of human beings thrown into a world that is moving towards destruction.

It is a game that has a strong fan base thanks to its unfriendly storyline and reasonably difficult difficulty.

I have been influenced by a unique story, so I plan to write it once I can. Of course after the end of the WWII novel.

As I said before, the writing itself is not difficult because it is close to a kind of Xenon biography if. I’ll have to add some settings though.

“It’s amazing. But what wouldn’t the gods say about that?”

In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references

Marie asked in a slightly anxious voice. When the world is destroyed, it must mean that harm has been done to God.

If it were someone other than Isaac, he could be taken to blasphemy right away.

But Isaac reassured her by waving his hand, as if it didn’t matter.

“Ah. It’s okay. The world isn’t really going to perish.”

Does he really know that he has already been destroyed once?

you will never know
