61 – 20. Could that be the reality?
Compared to the buildings unique to the elves, which were formed by planting parasitic trees on the branches of sturdy giant trees, it is a bit far from being nature-friendly.
Even the garden is artificial, so it has its own charm, but even for the elves, there was nothing they could do to feel that it was unhealthy in many ways by the standards of the forest clan.
Thankfully, Geornia wasn’t sensitive to such things, to the extent that she would frown at a slight change in the air, and even vomit at the worst.
I managed to get by.
No, to reveal my inner feelings, it was nice to be able to concentrate on my research as it was a vacation in my own way as I had nothing to look out for.
“Are you really okay? First of all, are you the empress of this country? But can you easily allow me to go here?”
When Geornia pointed to her forehead and asked as an analogy for her, Melineos, who was famous as the Empress of Magic, calmly nodded her head with her eyes shining.
“You’re signing a contract for that, right?”
“… Yes, but.”
There are some high elves with special abilities.
It is a kind of ability to discern the color of a soul, and by developing this ability, in the end, even the soul’s past could be glimpsed.
However, this was strictly taboo.
Even if you use it, strict restrictions follow, and if you use it carelessly, you will be punished by having your eyes gouged out and even your tongue pulled out.
Thus, it is not something that even Geornia can easily decide.
Above all, they deal with this on their own without reporting to the top?
… If you get caught, you will be uncomfortable in many ways.
Nonetheless, it is possible that those who need it are the core power class of the empire.
Also, it was only possible because they obediently allowed it.
However, if you look vaguely, the aftermath can extend to unwanted directions, so adjust the direction and progress through contracts.
… After all, isn’t a contract a product of demons and demons?
In the past, there were two Great Demon Kings in the Demon Realm, no, until recently, there were three like that in the 6,000-year history.
If the first great demon king established the demon king festival, in which anyone can become a demon king if given the qualifications and requirements, the cornerstone of the demon realm’s hierarchy was laid.
The second Great Demon King, in order to innovate the world of chaos where there is no order and discipline, negotiated with the Demon God to establish a [Absolute Observance Agreement].
And this contract of absolute compliance is the Demon God, the Neutral God, and the Good God.
In this way, it is organized so that the axis cannot be tilted or unfair content can be established.
Of course.
It’s not like there’s no way to abuse it, and of course you can forcefully sign a contract.
As much as it is a real problem, it is only their own circumstances.
In the case of Middle-earth, in the past, these contracts of wizards were regarded as demons and products of demons.
Now, the Edenrevan Regiment. Even though they were full-fledged demons and invaders of the demon realm just a few years ago.
The fact that they were able to belong to the Human Alliance was only possible because they concluded this absolute compliance contract.
“Check it out.
First. What I look at is strictly limited to the part permitted by you, Melineos.
Second. According to your request, I will meet the various conditions that have external pressures and psychological effects on you, and examine only the negative and malicious influences and effects that have affected you.
Third. I will not divulge what I have looked at under any circumstances. Tell only Melineos himself what he learned.
Fourth. What I, Geornia, examine with her own abilities is strictly limited to some of Melineos’ memories.”
Geornia, who had engraved the letters of light written in the air on paper, handed them over and demanded confirmation with her gaze.
“… Even if we limit and narrow it like this, it will be difficult to reach the answer we want, right?”
“Then why don’t we search all the other kids’ brains? Do you only believe in those absurd curses or something like poisonous mushrooms?”
“… ….”
“You said Alessius, right? He will also proceed under these conditions, so if you are anxious, quit.”
“… No.”
Melineos shook his head.
“I think it is necessary.”
“At least you won’t have to do this. Is there something going on? Are there any dreams you can’t remember?”
“…… Yes.”
It seems like a dream.
By the way, I can’t remember.
It’s not like this never happened.
This time, I had a very foreboding feeling that it was something to say I had a normal dream.
“Okay. Then when will it start?”
“Do I need to hesitate?”
“I guess.”
Geornia exhaled and looked around.
“Go all out, okay. You also.”
“Me too?”
Hamern, who was waiting behind Geornia, asked back.
“Because I can’t allow the slightest interruption.”
“Okay.”
The Empress’s ladies-in-waiting, including Hamerun, naturally left the VIP room.
“Lie down. Why should I head to your bedroom? If this bed is uncomfortable….”
“No. Will I still sleep well if I spread some grass on the floor?”
“I like that. Gold, silver, copper, if you were so drunk that even your mind flashed, I wondered if I would give you a shout.”
They are all rotting and ruining the mind.
The sermon, which was not a sermon, continued until Melineos lay down on the bed.
“Ha ha. Okay. If you do, don’t start.”
Pure white hands.
It was Ornia who stretched out her small hand, befitting her size, and touched Melineos’ forehead and forehead.
Not long after, she found herself in a deserted hallway.
“Hmm?”
I understand that this is the corridor of the imperial palace.
The reason she seemed familiar yet unfamiliar was because her atmosphere was completely different from what I had seen all along.
It’s dull and dark.
No matter how large the imperial palace is, of course, you can’t even feel the presence of people, and it’s very dark outside, probably because of black clouds….
Even the lights that illuminate the hallway are all turned off, so it feels barren beyond desolate, even during the day.
It’s not just that there are no signs of popularity. Fundamentally, domain management itself….
“If it’s this huge, management must be heavy labor.”
It was an unfamiliar hallway, but she walked inside her familiarly.
Even though it’s an imperial palace, there are different types of palaces.
And the reason why the atmosphere here is familiar is probably because this is the second palace where Melineos stays, commonly called the Empress Palace.
How many times have you visited, and how many times have you visited recently?
Is that why?
“Lululala~ah?”
Just when I saw a girl over there, humming a weird whistle-cum-hum song.
Geornia didn’t think much of it.
She said it was the reason she came here, or the relationship.
I was busy thinking about that.
This is the middle of Melineos’ memory, why can’t I see him?
Is it an imagination or a dream?
It is also necessary to understand the point of view.
Are you observing or conceiving your imagination from an omniscient point of view?
Or are you observing the landscape in your dreams as an observer?
The one that taught me how to interpret Melineos’ precognitive dream ability.
It was all Geornia herself.
Even in her dreams she can’t see herself.
Even if she or she herself has become a completely different person or figure.
It’s a dream, so it’s a possible story.
From noble mtl dot com
Therefore, there was a high possibility that this place was a dream landscape.
Sure.
… What the hell is that golden girl?
Why did you suddenly appear?
What are you doing?
Look at that figure snooping innocently through the corridors.
… I don’t know why.
A shiver surrounds you.
My jaw trembled.
The golden girl innocently brushed past her as if she couldn’t see herself.
A long time after that, it was only when I felt that the girl’s presence had disappeared.
Geornia let out a sigh of relief.
Let’s look back then.
It was right in front of her eyes.
“―?!”
I almost burst out screaming.
Is it because I was so surprised?
She even went back into it.
“Oh my God. You are a strange guest.”
With her golden girl floating in the air with a smiling face, she pushed her face right in front of her eyes.
I could even hear her breathing, and her snort that flowed out of her skin and tickled her downy hair.
The distance between the two was virtually no more than a finger.
“Expectations go well. You came to peep. Cancer, you might be curious.”
“… What are you doing Are you a demon?”
“It hurts your ego. Why do you compare me to trashy things that I was born with? Make me feel dirty.”
Laughing.
I used to laugh innocently and shout.
It was bloody.
“In the past, there was a complaint that some idiot was beating the Great Demon King. Would you like to listen to it?”
“… ….”
Who is mentioning the existence of the Great Demon King?
Golden.
… Who is it
Golden.
“… ….”
I know who that is.
I just don’t want to believe it.
As if the subconscious told us not to be aware of the fact, not to even imagine whether it was true or not.
Geornia’s head was frozen.
“Why can’t I beat you? When an absurd being like you appeared, I almost cried out, “What is the meaning of effort and will to us?” At that time, what did the Great Demon King say, would you like to guess?”
“… ….”
“Right to remain silent! It’s good! Awakening fools is also a king’s virtue, so I’ll tell you. Because the limits of my life were also set at that time. Let’s see….”
The golden girl who cleared her throat for a moment.
“Those who are born as the sun are bound to be the sun.”
.
I started to run out of luck.
“That is why he has no choice but to accept the fate of the sun, his long-cherished wish, and his destiny.”
Thus, he is the sun, and he is forced to live and live a life in which nothing but the sun is allowed.
“And the moment the sun goes out, the world will fall into a cataclysm. And those who are destined for the sun are the ones who know better than anyone else the tragedy that will result.”
However.
“You weeds, weeds in the field. You can be anything Do not be sad that no one cares because you are gone.”
That’s why.
“Your destiny, as if neglected and abandoned, can only be pioneered by you, and no one will force you to do so.”
Because only you can do it.
“You can move forward, retreat, or settle down as you please.”
How much!
A free life!
…… Under.
Until there.
The golden girl who talked exaggeratedly like an actress in a play.
With her hand on her chest, she radiated a bright smile and expressed her feelings that were not her own.
“… It’s a word that can be said if you become a sun at a time.”
“Why are you telling me that?”
“Oops. Oh my. You’re a lunatic. You have to realize I know you, do you not know me?”
“… ….”
“Didn’t your sister say this the other day?”
If.
“If the first thing she saw me was you, not herself. I bet you would have been willing to pay your allegiance to me.”
“…… No way.”
Why?
Why?
Why!
“Why are you here?! Because it’s a dream? Even if it’s a dream, why would you—?!”
“Whoa whoa! Okay! It’s a dream That’s right! How did I get sucked in too? And since this is like my residual thought, it doesn’t mean much to me to argue. Oh, I’m not saying it’s completely like that, but it’s slightly different, right? Anyway, that’s what it is.”
“… ….”
“In that respect, the palace of wisdom and gold now sits before your eyes. Now that I am dead and gone, am I no more than a treasure trove of wisdom, a storehouse and a library? How are you? Aren’t you curious why your sister was loyal to me?”
“… What other tricks are you going to use?”
“Oh! Knowing full well that I am a trickster and I have no interest in witchcraft! That is not the realm of wisdom.”
What I told your sister is really no big deal.
“I just asked and told him the truth of the world, your future. A reality so absurd that it makes you sigh. I was just telling you things like this.”
“… ….”
“Aren’t you curious? Huh? Really? Were you so close to each other? Aren’t they blood sisters?”
Geornia.
He resolutely expressed his intention of refusal.
“I still haven’t forgotten the instruction you gave me.”
“Oh? Really? Say it. What?”
“The more you embrace knowledge, the more you embrace it. There are only a lot of things you want to do. The desire only grows. It will only increase your thirst.”
“Really? Did I say that? That’s great advice. That’s right, right?”
“… So, I told you to stop being too greedy, right?”
For a wizard, this advice is like gold.
A curse, damn realist at the same time.
Because that’s the advice.
Because it was also the root that drove all mages and mages into despair and nightmares.
To dig into the truth, buried in the truth, lose oneself, lose one’s humanity, one’s first purpose, and even one’s will.
Becoming a devil.
Most truth seekers.
With a spirit of grasping at straws, they seek, pursue, and excavate knowledge.
Chased by insufficient time, overtaken by life.
Like that.
Most wizards and mages.
Great, humble, or insignificant.
Because everyone met their end equally.
How much more so even those who stand against it.
There will be no exceptions.
Obviously, that path isn’t wrong.
That’s why most of them are bound to be wrong.
Therefore.
“… I told you to give up climbing.”
“Exactly. Because the limits of knowledge are obvious. Knowledge achieves the truth? Trying to achieve with knowledge what even wisdom couldn’t achieve. It’s no different from saying that I want to live without a heart or brain. What if you followed my advice? You are probably the wisest of many wizards. I promise this one.”
“…… I don’t know how you can say that.”
“Although ignorance and ignorance are certainly the greatest sins harbored by the living. Because that’s not an unconditional original sin. Don’t beat yourself up so much. You are deaf like a jerk.”
What you guys need to learn.
“I just admit that I don’t know. So that we can start anew.”
“Stop the philosophical debates that are not like that. So, why are you here?”
“Surprisingly.”
The golden girl spread her arms wide.
“I am doing you good!”
“Such nonsense! Good luck!”
“No no! Is it real? But believe it or not, that’s for you to judge, not mine?”
I don’t care either way.
“Tell me the truth? Don’t you? Are you curious about what Melineos saw? Did you dig all the way here to get a peek? Then you are very welcome.”
By the way.
“If you see this, you really can’t handle it. It would be better not to know. You… Can you really handle it?”
“… ….”
I suddenly became afraid.
Geornia became terrified, to the point that the crazy golden babble was absurd.
I’ve seen the human form for the first time now.
As far as its unique presence.
Even though it is small, it has been passed down intact.
Generally, I don’t know.
However, the one who enjoys magic.
How is that… Is it a deep-rooted existence?
How massive it is.
Even though it’s just a girl’s body.
… It still seemed like it would cover the world in gold.
How the hell did Rueld defeat that thing?
For fear of popping up again, even from a nightmare, even its name is taboo and no one dares to mention it.
As if demeaning, they call it a golden beast.
… That existence.
The demon king who presides over wisdom.
In the past, no one in the demon realm had a meaning for it.
There is no knowledge.
Conspiracy. Affair. Although there were numerous taboos.
Even so, there was no one who willingly accepted wisdom as their destiny and agreed.
Despising and despising the devil, a higher being than the devil.
I was born with no relation to demons or demons.
However, he was willing to give up everything he had.
It has become a mere demon.
… The ancient spirit king.
“Ah! You don’t have to choose right away. I am merciful, so I will give you a chance to get it back.”
“What?”
For a moment, Geornia’s consciousness rapidly drifted away from reality.
No.
This….
“I’ll give you time to think! Go out and think about it.”
I told you.
Good intentions.
From noble mtl dot com
“Even if I do good deeds, it is up to you to regard them as nightmares, curses, and disasters. Even if I curse, consider it a blessing, a virtue, and a merit.”
It’s all up to you.
“That is the way to never lose.”
Whichever you choose.
If I don’t lose money, stop.
“What if you don’t want anything? You have nothing to lose!”
Kyahahahaha!
Ahahahaha!
Laughter like a scream shakes my head loudly.
That smile was indeed that of an innocent child.
What is the content inside?
“Keah!”
“… S, Master?”
Geornia vomited and tumbled under the chair at the bedside.
Forcibly awakening his dim mind, Melineos looked at Geornia, who was sitting down and trembling.
I had a sneaky feeling that things had turned out to be much more serious than he had expected.
