I’m a NEET but When I Went to Hello Work I Got Taken to Another World (LN)
Episode 269: 3000 Years Ago
There was a light disturbance about the Beastman, but when I returned, the treatment in the slums outside the city started smoothly.
"Hey, get off me!"
It seemed like there was just one person making a bit of noise.
Man. I totally forgot to tell you to catch him. And what happened was that it was wrapped around me with ropes and rolled around. Well, I guess he was rampaging or trying to escape.
If you don't have a reason to catch him anymore, let him go, I think you can just imitate me like this. Remember, somewhere I heard you throwing up your discarded zerif and being beaten by a beast soldier, I ran outside the city.
Why can't people get along better with each other?
I spilled it on the shrine maiden. I don't know how to describe a case as an individual like the Charlatan, but if we talk about the race, we can just ask the gods to be a little friendly. Of course, that won't get you along right away, but at least I don't think the Elves will be in slave hunting or the Beastmen will be thrown out of the ration line.
I casually said it, but the shrine maiden had something to think about.
"The persistence of the human race is quite a long time ago... it will be a bit of an intricate story"
Introverted. Seems like you can't get too big to see what you're talking about.
A long time ago?
If you want to talk properly, let's start from our origins, about 3,000 years ago when the humans came down to this land.
It seemed like it was going to be a long story, and the goddess nodded to my words. It was a lot older than I thought. The part related to the origins of the human race in this world. According to what I heard, the four races of the human race, the human elf beastman Dwarf, were guided by God about 3,000 years ago and descended into the Mithril kingdom. In other words, there seemed to be an alien metastasis in each race. Apparently, Ann hadn't been taught anything more. I was very interested.
Let's build a base.
I came up with it and said: I want a place where I can talk in detail, and I want to take a break. The cure would end as early as today and tomorrow, but the supply of water would need to continue until the water spirits were installed in the Imperial City and the water channel pulled out. We need a base for that. Maybe I could hear the story of the goddess.
The place is already full of people at the treatment and watering station, so we have newly prepared and made a large resting place for the priests and soldiers. Two floors with stairs. The door part is open, but now it is fully open as a request to the elves afterwards. It's a simple big tofu house with no windows.
In the meantime, I gathered the bishop inside the base and gave myself a patronage. I used magic power, but thanks to my protection, my magic power recovered quickly.
Transfer to the Elves' town and ask the carpenter's master to set up the base. Ask the carpenter to take home some of the furniture they stocked.
Ahh, it's easy to find a place to rest after all.
For now, the entire second floor of the base we built is just for us. A living room set in the middle of a spacious room, serving snacks to the tired and Ellie. Ellie was just as busy as I was, with the transfer of security personnel, the treatment of the mildly ill, and the construction of the water yard. No, I'm really glad you came.
"That's what I was talking about earlier..."
After settling down, I naturally cut out the shrine maiden who was with me.
“Where do we start?”
"Please start from the beginning. 3,000 years ago."
The goddess nodded to my words.
"This is a story that only a very few people in the temple can teach."
Like forbidding curses?
"It's more dangerous than that, by the way."
It's more dangerous than forbidden curse.....
"It was about 3,000 years ago. One of our ancestors, one of the human tribes, was on the brink of extinction."
Due to an unprecedented catastrophe, a hand of salvation was offered from God in a situation where he no longer waited for annihilation. A proposal for redoing in a new destination.
The new land is not safe. If you are alarmed, it does not mean that you will be annihilated at any time. And the land of abundance. If you wish, you can take me to such a world.
I had no choice. But the land that was brought was full of nature, and abundant food within reach; as it was said, it was abundant.
“It was this boxyard world, Razgradworld, and the Mithril kingdom.”
And God said unto the four nations that were gathered at the same time, and were saved in the same manner.
"The opportunity and the necessary strength were given. Survive, and be strong."
And man made cities and agricultural lands, and the dwarves made things, and the beasts worked as warriors, and the elves went their own way, not joining them in the wheel.
The most prosperous were the humans. Many towns were made, and the country was united and the territory was expanded.
Didn't the monster bother you?
"I don't know for sure, but at that time, I hardly saw any demons." Perhaps they came to this world at the same time. ”
Human beings who thrive well. The collision with the monsters was localized, but they were not human enemies equipped with force, which was an organization as a nation. What was decisive was the power and magic that came to this land. The four races of people who were able to defeat even large dragons by powerful magic managed to destroy monsters, overcome disasters, and improve their living standards.
However, as humans increase in number and the nation grows stronger, the disparities between the various races widen. The Dwarves seem to have melted into humans and stood around well, but the Beastmen were spoiled by the humans' winds, and the Elves were driven to the frontiers.
It was the monstrous invasion of the Empire about 500 years ago that was decisive.
Until then they were bent and helped by the same God, and they were friendly with one another.
"Of course, the elves were fighting monsters." But when the Imperial City fell, the Elves refused to help. ”
We were in the middle of a battle against monsters, and the Empire was not involved with the elves in the first place. It seems to have been such a response. The mighty wizard Elf refused to join the battle. It brought despair to the humans in need.
As you know, the demon king was defeated by the work of the brave, and the army of monsters lost control and barely managed to defeat him.
But with that, my feelings for the Elves worsened and I eventually developed into an Elf Hunt.
"Even in the temple, it was a problem, but even with the gift, God didn't blame Elf hunting. If that's your choice, we can't stop it. I want to be free."
God has that kind of thing. You can do it freely. You can respect my will, or you can decide the future for yourself.
"I shouldn't have let such a divine trust out."
The temple confessed to the Elf's persecution.
"When the king learned of the oracle, he thought he had the approval of God. In other words, you can persecute the Elves."
That's what God actually said. Even if a man thinks of killing all the elves, and if the elves fail to defy them and wipe them out, God will not accept or punish them.
The Elf's situation got worse. And the villages of the elves were burned, and slain, or enslaved.
The situation changed when Rishra's Kingdom was established. With the help of Rishra's independence from the Empire, the Elves have gained territory and created what they call a nation. That's the Elves' town.
"I somehow know about the elves. Then why is the treatment of beastmen so bad?"
Perhaps it was the instigation of the Elves, but the most important reason is that the Beastman can no longer use his magic.
When the elves were persecuted, the beasts, who were quite different from humans, were also called sub-humans, and came to be classified as non-humans, even though they were not persecuted explicitly. Besides, the Beastman has lost the magical power that was given to him when he transferred to this land from race to race. In other words, the idea of losing the blessing of God became visible even from the temple.
The Dwarves can still use their magic. And the Elves say they're on the side of humans, just as badly as humans. The temple was also disliked as a cause of Elf persecution by offering a consecration that recognized Elf hunting.
“The Empire has now changed its policies and admitted that the Elves and the Beasts are of the same race and kindred.”
The Kingdom of Rishura was independent about 300 years ago. Both living people and beasts have disappeared. Elves have a life span of 500 years. There are many who remember the time. That's why I know you still hate humans and temples.
However, in the Empire, disdain for the Elves and Beastmen was deeply rooted.
The time has come for the four races to work together to defeat the monster threat.
But even in the temple, that view is divided. Because God has never given such a gift.
"That's something we have to accomplish, not by God's hand."
Opportunity and power were given. Just survive and be strong. We should decide and seize the end of the race.
"Or because humans are superior, there is no need for other races." Only humans can survive and become stronger. Many of the priests believe that. "
The theory of human superiority and the theory of harmony among the four races. Of course, in the human-led temple, the human superiority theory is stronger.
and from time to time, the Messenger of God and His Messenger. A human hero who saved the Empire from crisis. It reinforced the theory that humans are truly God's chosen race.
But the situation is changing. Just as the existence called the Demon King combined monsters, sometimes destroying one nation and putting even the Empire in danger, the movement of monsters was being activated.
In that way, can people survive by pulling their legs together?
God only said to survive, but the four races were gathered together. There's always a point there. Hold hands, help each other, and make up for each other's shortcomings. That is the future of the human race.
“That's why I expect it. The Masaru, who is particularly involved with the Elves and the Beastmen, is the one who will change the situation."
The goddess opened her sleepy eyes and stared at me firmly.
"Maybe you should be the brave one who saves us."
With that, the story of the proprietary shrine maiden was over. Me, Ellie, and I kept quiet without words. There is too much information to consume at once.
The Beastman hasn't lost his magic!
All of a sudden, in the quiet, Satie said: And chant the magic of the lights.
"Oh, that's right, Masaru-sama..."
I said it with passion, but Sati's magic comes from the skills I've been given. There is no difference in God's blessing, but I'm sure you're no longer sure of what you said.
"That's right, Sati. That's right."
A miracle shown in front of you. Seeing the lights created by the beastlings who were supposed to have lost their magic, the shrine maidens with surprised faces put aside and nodded to Sati.
I agree with Sati. The Beastman was simply no longer usable. It is a fact that you have lost the blessing of God with it. And there is a way to solve it.
Ellie, can you get Lilia for me?
A way to deal with those who can't use their magic and are passed on to the Elves. What if I could use it on the Beastman? There is one less argument for human superiority.
I have more work to do. I thought so, but can we just leave this story alone?
With Ellie's transfer, Lilia came almost without waiting. It seemed like it was happening to deal with the movement of the monsters of Hiragis.
I'd like you to meet Ionitis Feymawr Mithril, the shrine maiden who came from the Mithril kingdom.
I remember my name quite well. The shrine maiden bowed her head and greeted Lilia.
Aeon, please call me that, Master Liliane.
"Our, uh, yes. He's a new ally."
The Oracle's shrine maiden stood in a state of hanging around, but she nodded to my explanation.
"Hmm. Aeon, please take care of me in the future." So, you said you wanted to see my concubine? "
Lilia didn't seem to have any particular preference for the temple. Well, I've been working with Ann for a long time.
I asked the Orange Squad elves about it, but there's a way to make them remember magic when they can't use it.
"There you go. It'll take a little skill." It's a problem even in the countryside. "
Problem?
I rarely need it, but it's a technique that can't be lost
If it wasn't for the long-lived elves, I'd have lost my heir. That's what Lilia says. For the Elves, magic is a vital lifeline for the race. Even if the elves who don't remember magic rarely come out, the need is high.
Even if humans can't use their magic, they can't help it, but the elves can't. That's probably why the technique was developed.
However, it required delicate magic manipulation. Heirs are precious, so we can't put them on the deadly front. And yet they are of little avail. There are certain conditions, and it is difficult to secure the next successor.
What is that condition?
"Of course I don't mind telling Masaru..."
Lilia looked at the divine shrine maiden clearly and said. As expected, I was hesitant to teach the temple humans.
"It's okay, just say it here." I won't leak from Aeon, and I'll be responsible. "
I checked with the shrine maiden.
“Of course, we won't be able to talk to you from this point on.”
The two guards nodded firmly to the words. Still, Lilia looks like she's thinking about it. We're going to let go of the big advantage of being able to use magic on all the races. Yes, it is not something that can be decided on a case-by-case basis.
"I'll step aside."
"Stay with me. Lilia, Aeon is fine." You know what that means, don't you? "
Ooh! Aeon will be one of us!
That's right, Lilia's expression brightened up when I nodded.
"I... don't know." I'm sure it's difficult... "
The stray ion-like voice of the goddess disappeared.
"Good, good. If the Masar wants, and you want, what will not come of it?"
“Is that really permissible?”
Anxious Aeon's voice. Lilia is just saying things without knowing anything about Aeon, but she still gets the right words.
"Just think about it slowly." We just met. "
It takes time for Aeon to think about it, and there will be various kinds of troubles if you go back to the country. I didn't expect to be one of them all of a sudden.
I just met you and you really liked it, didn't you?
That's what Lilia told me. That might be the case. I like it. Hmm.
"Yeah, I like it very much."
It was a short time, but I knew the personality by treating them. I already had a blessing. There is no longer a choice such as not to be a companion.
"Very well. If you can use this technology on other races, you can lead the elves to increase the number of wizards in the world." It will be a great achievement. "
That's right. That's what I wanted to say. The more people who can use purification and water magic, the better the world will be.
"I heard about the Elf Wall Reinforcement Law." A revolutionary technique that tripled the strength of conventional walls. In addition, if this magic technology were to come, there would no longer be anyone who doubted that the Elves were serious about building a cooperative relationship with humans. ”
"Oh, that's a masal, too."
Lilia nodded to the words of the goddess.
I see. Did Master Masaru move the Elves?
The words of the goddess convinced, but Lilia instantly denied them.
"No, no, no."
No?
"In the first place, there is no such thing as an elf-style castle wall strengthening method." That's the way Masal thought about it. "
It's a little different, but now it's off the point.
"It's good to actively spread the useful technology. So?"
"Oh, is that so?" It's easy to understand. "
That's how Lilia starts to talk.
"Magic power has a different fragrance for each individual." That's why I can't mix it. "
Yeah, I know that.
"But from time to time, there are people with the same scent." If it's the same person, the magic power can flow relatively smoothly. "
Even among people with similar scents, the infusion of magic power is said to be dangerous. That's why we need delicate technology.
"And the scent is twelve." So we need twelve heirs, and at least two of them need to be insured, and it's troublesome to identify them again. "
It's like a blood type. Only the same blood type can be transfused. The only way to investigate it was to actually use magic power. That's why we need to do the worst twelve surveys until we hit it at random.
But it is certainly an easy story to understand.
"We are in charge of that role by the people in the treatment hospital." If we were to operate it elsewhere, the temple might be just right. "
If I was a guru, I could use all my magic. Organizations exist across the globe, and no other organization would be more suited. It's a good idea to do it in the temple, and I'll nod.
“If this technology becomes practical, and if you entrust it to the temple, the temple will honor the elves.”
It is a new form of salvation brought about by the Elves and the Temple. If everyone can use their magic, they could lose a slum like this.
"As expected, however, the concubine's presence cannot be decided." Until I get approval to take it home, I want you to leave this story as it is for now. If you name Masaru, there will be no problem. "
"If you approve, first try recruiting a candidate from the Beastman." You can tell the temple as soon as you see the results. "
You can try it on humans later. If it works against the Beastman, maybe the humans can. If it doesn't work, it's a great achievement for the Beastman to be able to use his magic.
Roger that.
That's how Lilia metastasized. It's almost midnight, but will the kings be beaten up? I'm sorry. I'll ask you later and apologize.
"The elves..."
Aeon, who was staring at Lilia after her transfer, let out a pounding voice.
Will the Elves forgive the temple?
The temple where the Elf Hunt was set in motion was created. I could imagine that there were many resentful elves. The cold gaze I had when I first went to the Elves' house might have been aimed at the guru Ann.
“I don't know about that, but at least you can trust Lilia.”
I was hoping you'd give me permission to develop my magic powers.
Oh, I see. It was the Shrine Maiden of the Mithril kingdom who received the consignment. And Aeon-sama, the shrine maiden of today, felt responsible.
"Besides, there are gurus, elves, and beastlings here, so we can all work together." It might be easier to reconcile than expected. "
That's right. If Masaru says so, I can believe it.
But you're talking more to Ann, who's asleep. Relation to the four races of the Homo sapiens from 3000 years ago.
Before that, Aeon, the shrine maiden, was treated in a slum by the monster of Hiragis. There is also the matter of the elves' magic power development in the slum beast's lure to the Beast.
"If Anne wakes up, don't be surprised."
Really, you can't get tired of being a masal, can you?
Ellie says that.
"It's not all my fault, is it?"
Is that so?
Oh, what is that? No, I know it's a bit of my fault, but... is that it or what?
However, it seemed that it was time for the next treatment, and it was unacceptable for me to take the time to worry about it.
