016─Fragment of the Future
After turning the screen to Farnese receiving training in the chapel, I was thirsty and brought a canned beverage from the refrigerator with a surprised expression on my face.
Because I knew how to lay out useless knowledge such as laws and doctrines like the principal’s instructional words.
However, the priest’s voice flowing through the laptop was a kind of history lesson that explained the worldview in detail.
‘I can’t just pass it.’
How was the notification window that came to mind when you first started the game?
I inferred the cause of the world’s catastrophe and requested that the designated character be guided to the right path through revelation.
In other words, every piece of information about this world is a clue to clearing the main scenario.
‘Then should I also take this training on time for a week?’
I was a little clueless, but I thought it didn’t matter since the log remains in the form of a novel even if I don’t read it anyway.
I’m lying there comfortably listening to Farnese’s education……
‘Where did you hear that?’
I was very familiar with the history that came out of the mouth of the priest, to be exact, the setting of the worldview.
A world where the apostles of war, famine, and pestilence have been defeated and only the apostle of death is ahead.
‘It must have been the 4 knights of the Apocalypse.’
I guessed right when I searched the wiki with my cell phone.
It wasn’t a material often borrowed from novels or cartoons, but that doesn’t mean it’s minor, but it’s knowledge that I knew at least a cursory glance.
‘Hmm.’
Is this similarity intentional?
First of all, if you look closely, it is highly likely that you will end up facing a catastrophe because you couldn’t stop the last remaining apostle of death.
‘Most of the people attending the training show that they are bored…… ‘
Somewhat clichéd, there is an analogy that humanity itself perished because it felt less threatened because it succeeded in defeating the apostle three times in a row.
If that were all, I wouldn’t have made the scenario progress itself the main content.
‘When creating the world, I said that you get basic information by going on a field trip to the dimension managed by the earth’s creator god.’
Originally, it wouldn’t have mattered if I just passed it over, but the similarity between the world I live in and the world in the game.
If there is a setting that gives a reasonable justification for it, it is highly likely that the production company intended it.
You can find clues not only in the game, but also outside the game.
‘There was definitely another setting related to the Apocalypse.’
As expected, if you scroll down the wiki more, information will come out.
The red dragon of the Apocalypse.
‘The Apostle of Death wasn’t the end, in fact the red dragon was the last boss, but it was destroyed because it couldn’t deal with it?’
Not a bad reasoning.
If what they’re training right now isn’t false, they’re only aware of the apostles who were influenced by the 4 knights of the Apocalypse.
‘By the way, the wiki also says that the red dragon is stronger in words, but in reality the 4 knights of the Apocalypse are more overwhelming…… ‘
The red dragon of the Apocalypse is, to put it bluntly, a being that causes humans to corrupt, and each of the four knights of the Apocalypse is a disaster itself with signs of destruction.
It is written that the fact that it came to be called a dragon is the result of being grafted with a region that worshiped an evil being in the form of a dragon.
‘If you were influenced by the Bible in the first place, there are only two negative symbols within that framework.’
A snake with a symbol of corruption, said to have defiled the first human race.
A goat with the symbolism of the devil.
With that in mind, a red snake would be more appropriate than a red dragon.
The setting of the red dragon itself was a being that corrupts humans like the snake that fed Eve of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
“Huh?”
I’m working hard in my own way, but a rather luxurious notification window pops up in the center of the screen.
【 Future fragment (1) 】
The final destination created by human discord was the catastrophe of the world.
And the first step was to destroy the symbolism of the Holy Elfia Republic.
Fragments of the future.
A clue that clearly provides the reason why the world faced catastrophe.
‘The symbolism of the Holy Kingdom has collapsed…… ‘
I read the contents carefully and rested my chin.
I can roughly predict what kind of aftermath this will have.
Plaudite said that even if a concept has already been acquired, if the process and symbolism are damaged, the concept will disappear and can never be acquired again.
In other words, all the concepts learned in the state related to the Holy Republic would have disappeared.
The concept of a perm that can be obtained by belonging to the Holy Republic right away is probably the same.
‘Apart from the 4 knights of the Apocalypse, a red dragon that moves independently…… No, are there really red snakes?’
The red snake corrupts humans, and the last apostle of the Apocalypse ends at the end of the ruins.
From noble mtl dot com
‘But it won’t collapse after a while…… ‘
The symbolism of expressing goodwill was usually like that.
Especially if there is a strong religious color to it.
Isn’t that the case with the world I actually live in?
World-wide relief organizations are doing well despite the news that they committed irregularities in sponsorship and that their affiliates had an orgy.
Moreover, not to mention religion.
Everyone who knew that it was corrupt without end knew it, but it is still in good health.
In other words, it was almost impossible to destroy the religious symbolism of goodwill the moment it started to take root.
But the future fragment says that the symbolism of the Holy Elfia Republic has collapsed, so maybe the answer is simple.
‘It wouldn’t be impossible if the highest figure representing the Holy Elfia Republic was Darkness.’
Of course, this may seem difficult to call a complete downfall, but the setting of the game world itself placed great importance on symbolism.
So, even if the meaning of being a pope or a saint is tarnished, it will take a huge blow.
「Okay, let’s finish today’s training with this. Everyone please follow me. The baptism ceremony is supervised by the saintess, so please don’t be reckless. 」
“What…… “
It’s a baptismal ceremony presided over by a saint.
It’s good, but I was bewildered by the development that seemed to flow too artificially, as if it was going to clear up all my questions.
“Ha.”
And soon, when Farnese arrived at the place of the baptism, I was convinced that the saintess of the current Holy Republic of Elfia was not a black man.
An elderly woman who seems confident that even a 5-year-old child will win if the cane she is holding is taken away.
An old woman sitting at the edge of twilight who is certain that a natural death is not far off if left alone.
“…… “
There was no possibility that such an existence was the dark side.
Anyway, the lifespan of this world seemed longer than that of that old saint.
Appearance is a young woman, but she is actually an old nogoe.
‘Then is the next great saintess a red snake, a kind of darkness? Well, in the first place, the starting point of the main scenario is probably here.’
I didn’t have enough clues to deduce more right now, so I finished my thoughts neatly.
* * * * *
「Joanna」
Reciting the baptismal name given to him in his mind, Farnese started the great battle.
As long as he received his baptismal name, he is not a temporary priest, but a priest who officially belongs to the Holy Republic of Elfia.
And remembering the image of the saintess who had baptized him, Farnese clenched his fists with her slender hands.
Although it may be a disrespectful thought, everyone is probably guessing anyway.
Since the current saintess is me, she will soon be unable to withstand aging and will retire due to health problems.
If that happens, the pillars that support Elfia——by the five cardinals, the ceremony of choosing a saint will be held.
‘If only I could be a candidate…… ‘
Originally, it was without thought, but since the transcendent being dwelled in it, Farnese continued to be greedy.
He was able to learn a huge concept just by reaching the position of “Saint”.
Moreover, it was perfect if she could make the concept of “Saint” Her own.
The position and concept itself are the opposite and opposite points of the existence of a monster.
It was perfect as a concept to bloom in one’s garden, and it would go well with the concept of conditionality that will be acquired later.
Ttogak.
At the end of the steps marked by such thoughts, in front of the huge business meeting that had reached the goal, Farnese took out the sign of the kingdom of Surnier.
Unless they have some foundation, most of them suffer from financial difficulties during the two years they are forced to work in Elpia.
And if one of the means to support it is to present a service mark, you can freely use the upper house within the limit.
“Welcome! Ah! This sign…… Would you like to come this way? Please write your name and baptismal name here.”
The requirement to write not only the name but also the baptismal name means that it is a transaction with the symbolism of the Holy Elfia Republic.
Unless it suddenly soars into the sky and sinks to the ground, if you are aware of its meaning, you will not be able to cheat.
“Thank you. Then, please use our Odelin store freely.”
Nodding his head, Farnese stepped inside, looked around him and moved awkwardly.
We arrived at a clothing store on the second floor.
Because what I felt the most urgent was underwear.
However, a body that has lived as a man for 20 years.
Since he had no knowledge of women’s undergarments, Farnese risked a faint sense of shame and called the clerk.
“Yes! How can I help you?”
“I want to buy underwear, but I don’t know anything…… “
“Ah! Okay. Don’t be shy. First of all, stock the bustier from the circumference…… So, let me introduce you to the breast covering.”
The clerk pulls out a tape measure from his pocket to see if it is always stocked.
Since he didn’t know anything, Farnese nodded his head, feeling rather comfortable being led in this way.
“By the way, Bustier is Bustier, and Dalpo is which one?”
Dalpo?
The fact that the professional name for a breast cover is Bustier, why are there so many difficult words?
“Um…… The cloth that is added to the pants during the moon street is called Dalpo.”
Then the clerk lowered his head and whispered in a low voice.
Awkward!
At that, Farnese trembled slightly.
No matter how much I’ve lived as a man for 20 years, I don’t know what moon distance means.
“Dalpo is different in size depending on the amount of bleeding during dalgori, so you have to tell us so we can provide you with a suitable one.”
“That…… I see.”
Farnese answered sluggishly.
Then he closed his lips tightly.
Because I didn’t know.
It has been two days since I became a woman.
She had never done moonwalking, and it was only now that she realized that she had a body that could run the moon.
‘I see…… ‘
I am.
No, this body.
It is a body that can conceive a child.
It is not the body that sows the seed, but the body that receives the seed.
The body that is conceived, not conceived.
Recognizing belatedly that there is something called a womb in his body, Farnese held a long silence.
Keep going until the clerk gets frustrated.
