Munin heard the name of the goddess,
"... why do you want to do that?"
"Revenge."
After all, I answered.
Munin lost his sight.
I feel like I'm looking for words.
"Mr. Belzeggia..."
Munin leaned down when he got stuck in his words.
Her mouth is tightly bound.
Not so much.
"Um..."
And Munin raised his face.
"I... I... I... I..."
The next word from the chief of the Forbidden Clan - that was it.
Take a moment and I'll check.
"How do I interpret what I just said?"
"I mean, we're here to help.For your revenge. "
…………
Since the name of the forbidden curse was mentioned earlier.
Her feelings were clearly shaken.
The reaction was obvious.
The things that were in her eyes and her face...
Expectations.
Hope.
Since the name of the Forbidden Curse came out, she began to soar.
And that knee tremor.
Take a deep breath.
It was like this.
”Finally.”
like.
It's like I've been waiting.
That's why I told you frankly why I wanted to gain the power of the curse.
In short.
"Against the goddess... you have something inside you, don't you?"
I ask.
Munin dragged his mouth tightly with his eyes thinly open.
Eventually, I'll open my mouth.
"The Goddess wants us banned from the world..."
Like a review, I say.
"You who know it have fled to this country."
Munin nods, laying his left and right hands on his lap.
"I don't even know what kind of spell the forbidden spell is.But, as you know, the curse of restraint seems inconvenient for the goddess. "
Munin exhaled tired.
"That's what I've been told for generations.Our generation... does not know the outside world.If the goddess finds us like that... they'll kill us all. "
Munin's smile is sad.
"When the Forbidden Clan still lived outside the world... I heard a lot of my compatriots were killed.It seems that the goddess who learned of the existence of the Forbidden Curse was trying to eradicate the Forbidden Word clan.However... at that time, the root evil descended. "
In the confusion, in the chaos.
Subtribes.
Monsters.
Of the forbidden clans...
A massive migration has begun.
"It is said that the evil that descended at its root was quite vicious.The invasion was so intense that people trembled.But... ironically, thanks to that, the goddess and the human forces had to devote everything to the fight against the underlying evil.In other words, there's no more room for us. "
Subhumans and monsters of the time.
They felt the limits of living on this continent.
Subhumans tended to be persecuted.
Monsters that are not golden eyes.
I didn't know when it was gonna be golden eyes.
It was so dangerous.
Most of the continent is in the air.
Some people start planning to hide somewhere.
A safe haven not found by humans.
I wish there was a place like that somewhere.
Some planners were immortal Zeke.
It was a huge underground ruins that they looked at.
On the continent, there are still unknown monuments.
Okay. Okay.
It was the then Analobael who helped me with this.
She gave them wisdom and tools.
This led to large-scale migration, mainly of immortal Zeke et al.
As soon as he had finished speaking, Munin cut off his words.
Are you thinking about your slaughtered compatriots?
After a period of silent prayer, she opens her mouth again.
"At that time, the chaos caused by the underlying evil... was the only time the goddesses had a chance to deal with the underlying evil."
"I see... you forbidden folk escaped from the eyes and hands of the goddess. But..."
The goddess hasn't given up yet.
Munin found out about it just now.
I'm sure you've heard the word "touch” from King Zeke.
But again, I told you about Visis' prospects.
A few days ago, the sword of valor found us here.
The goddess owns a god beast other than Nyaki.
The goddess's hands will be aiming for this place now.
"As I just told you, the Goddess has not yet given up on ridding the world of your forbidden folk."
That sounds like it.
Munin drops his shoulders quietly.
But she immediately raised her face firmly.
"The Goddess must have learned later that she disappeared from this continent when there was a forbidden clan.Along with a large number of subpopulations and monsters.We haven't been able to find this place for a long time... because, according to King Zeke's guess, Anael, who was out there, took some measures. "
"... I see."
It's about Erica.
It is possible that we were taking measures to prevent this from being found.
"But as you know, Belzegia never gave up.Yes... you won't give up.Until we eradicate the forbidden word. "
I think so, too.
On the contrary.
It's perfectly a weekpoint.
The existence of a forbidden curse.
For the goddess.
"If so..."
Munin opens his eyes.
"If we do not defeat the Goddess, the Sabbath Day will not come forever to our forbidden tribe, Krosaga."
"I mean..."
"Yes, Mr. Belzeggia."
* Giggle *
Munin stood up.
"If you want to defeat that goddess, we, the forbidden clan, will help you."
Eyes with strong determination.
She stared straight at me with her eyes.
Under the mask, I smile.
The desire was consistent.
The forbidden word family.
That's true.
That scumbag goddess seems to live forever.
Live without dying.
Well, if it is.
Goddess Crush.
Yes, it is.
If they are to survive - we have to crush them.
The venomous goddess.
I get up, too.
And I drooped my head.
"Thank you for your willingness to cooperate.Now we have a very pleasant ally. "
Keep raising your face.
"Well, then...."
Although I succeeded in asking for cooperation...
What should I do with it?
"Lord Munin"
"You don't have to call me that, do you?"
Soothe some of the harsh expressions earlier.
Fufufu, munin loosens your eyes.
"I also call you Mr. Belzeggia."
"... then, Mr. Munin. Can you tell me what you know about the curse?To tell you the truth, "This is the curse of forbidden spells, and it seems to be effective against the goddess." But I don't know anything about forbidden curses.
Yes, in fact...
I don't know astonishingly about the curse.
Munin narrowed his eyes,
"Yes, sir."
So I smiled.
"First of all... we can read special ancient characters called" banned characters ”as their names suggest. By the way..."
Munin smiles bitterly.
The name "forbidden family” was only established by what the goddess used to call it.I mean, we didn't call ourselves that. "
It was originally a cross saga.
"Yes, but we have been taught since we were young that we are forbidden.”So I don't have much resistance to being called the Forbidden Clan.Don't worry about it. "
"Okay."
What I'm talking about is...
”You can call me the Forbidden One.”
And you said no.
"Do you know how to activate the Forbidden Curse?"
"I've never activated it, and I've never seen a spell document.Curse documents never existed in this settlement. "
Is that so?
But Munin and I keep going.
"I know how to activate it."
――――――――
This is good news.
Now we don't have time to find a way to activate it from here.
Next, Munin starts explaining how to activate.
"First, I will read the spell spelled in the spell document.And then I'll ”fix” the curse myself. "
It's like letting yourself dwell under a curse.
"Then the pattern is engraved on a part of the body.In that state, if you cast another spell when you want to use it, it will activate.And... you need a magic element to activate.We are good at refining and manipulating magic elements, so there will be no problem.But... actually, the most important thing is... Mr. Belzeggia?Is there anything that bothers you? "
I was unconsciously reaching for my chin.
"Before the process leading to activation, do you mean the problem..."
Ask questions as they are.
"Something like the nature of a forbidden spell… I mean, is it unclear what kind of effect or effect the spell had until it was actually used?"
If you ask me, it looks like Munin.
"I've been taught that a forbidden spell is not a kind of spell... I don't know if there's a way to tell what kind of spell it is before it's activated - that's right, it certainly is..."
Her eyes opened thinly and she looked up at me.
"May I see one of those spells...?"
"Go ahead."
Untie the ties and give Munin the spell document.
She received the spell and opened it.
Munin holds up and down and glitters with cursed documents.
Eventually - I open my eyes.
Then she stood next to me and pointed at the bottom of the curse document.
"This is not a chanting spell."
Isn't that a spell?
Current standing position.
Turn your face sideways and you'll see Munin's face right there.
"This is the spelling of the effect of this curse."
――――――――
Honestly.
I thought it would be possible to guess the effect from the contents of the spell that I cast.
However, it seems that the effect is carefully written down.
"... and what effect does the curse have?"
"God's (...) clan's (...) ability to (...) consume (...) and seal (...) the (...) force of the wall (...) system (...)" and (...) "
It's coming back to your head.
The sight of that time - the damn goddess's deaf voice.
I always have a protective film called Goddess Decurse Dispensable .
Protective film.
In other words, it can be called a ”wall" that covers thinly.
"That's right... if it's easy for an E class like you to understand, I can automatically and absolutely defend myself against the spells of the abnormal state system."
Absolute Defense.
In other words, it can be said to be a ”force to prevent".
Anti-wall (...) system (...) system (...) ability (...) force (...).
I can't be sure it's a deal.
There is absolutely no such thing.
Therefore, I can't say for sure.
However,
"Enough"
A cursed document spread out in front of you.
I put my index finger at the center of it, I said.
"Enough - I'll bet on it."
▽
By the way, Mr Munning and I said with the curse paper.
"I'd like to ask you straight away... is it possible to” fix ”the curse even for people other than the Banned Kingdoms?I mean... if you can teach me how to read and even read spells, can you use them even if they're not forbidden? "
Munin looked in trouble there.
It's possible. It's impossible.
It is possible and impossible.
It can be taken to mean both.
I'm sure Munin understands the ambiguity of the word.
Start supplementing immediately.
In conclusion, ”fixation” itself is possible.
"But there are other problems."
"Yes"
Shrug
Munin said that he solved the knot near his shoulder.
The tied fabric breaks down and drips.
Munin turned his back on me after a few steps.
Then - she slipped her clothes down to the waist.
Your torso is completely exposed.
Munin turned gently, covering his chest with one arm.
"Look at this."
Black wings grown from around the scapula.
The right and left wings are right in the middle.
There was a pattern just below my neck.
Light grey.
It doesn't even look like a tattoo.
"This pattern is said to reveal wings, one arm, one eye, sword, shield, and... chains."
I don't know unless I get an explanation like this...
If you disassemble each part, it doesn't look that way.
It is a symbol that is too simplified to be understood without being told.
Whatever...
What was Munin's intention in showing me this?
Probably.
"Can't you use it without someone with this pattern?"
"Anyone can do it just by" fixing. ”But... if anyone other than the one with this crest uses the Forbidden Curse, that person dies. "
…………
"At the end of a painful death that I don't think belongs to the world, I'm told I'm going to blow blood out of my body and lose my life..."
In an ominous manner, she put on her clothes again.
It's like a combination of Paralyze and Bursack .
But I see.
"That's why you said it was possible and impossible."
Even those without crests can only ”fix” the forbidden curse.
However, when used, it leads to death.
Hmm.
By the way, I hear.
"If someone without a crest uses it, it can lead to death... Will it trigger itself?"
…………
"Don't you understand?"
Activates the Forbidden Curse in exchange for death.
No... but...
Even if we could do that...
"Unfortunately."
Munin shook his head with regret.
I can't.
It doesn't activate just by dying.
when
"In order to activate the Forbidden Curse, you'll need the Forbidden Stripes with their crests anyway."
Kokuri.
Munin nods.
"And the forbidden folk with this crest... there's only me and one more in the settlement."
Not all the forbidden clans have tattoos.
Two.
Just the two of us.
So I'll accompany you.
"I appreciate it as a walrus... is that okay?Aren't you the chief? "
Munin opened his eyes thinly and smiled.
"Because I am the chief, I think I should do it for the future of Krosaga.I thought that was the chief's mission. "
A soft but prepared smile.
I knelt on the spot and drooped my head again.
"... I understand. I swear I will do my best to thank you for your preparedness... and never waste it.Let's do everything in our power to crush the goddess Visis. "
When Munin corrected his posture, he lay his hands around his abdomen.
Then, fufufu, I slightly tilted my neck and laughed.
"Yes, thank you from my heart."
And her smile turns into something bitter.
"But... there's only one thing I can do to use the Forbidden Curse, besides magic elements, that I can't avoid."
Looks like there's still something I need.
"It's mediation."
"Mediation..."
"I am truly sorry, but this settlement has not been mediated for a long time.And -- as much as the spell documents, the mediation seems to be a more difficult substitute to obtain. "
"Have you seen it?For example, the shape..... "
"I'm sorry... I haven't seen it, so I can't really say the right thing."
"No, it's not for you to apologize, Mr. Munin."
Munin looks down on his face and drops his shade on his face.
"Um, by the way... it looks like we had information” available in the Nashur Mountains in the west of the continent ”before we entered this country.However, it seems that it was already a rare item at that time... even if it is still available to me... "
Munin shook his head again to apologize for not knowing.
…………
I see.
You can't master the curse by simply reading the curse document.
It is necessary to mediate the ”mediation” of spell documents and masters.
"Is the medium consumable?Or can I keep using one for a long time? "
"It is said to be consumed when staying.And the crests that settled after activation will disappear. "
I don't know...
It can only trigger the number of mediators.
Unlike the skills you can shoot in a row if you only have MP.
In short - it is impossible to fight in vain.
In the case of a forbidden curse, you must definitely decide when it is decided.
... but a rare item.
Put your thumb on the chin, I say.
"Speaking of rare goods... I have a little idea of the country in the western region"
That's right.
The Principality of Yonato and the Mira Empire.
These are the two countries.
I heard that Yonato is stocking up on rare items called sacred artifacts.
Mira also had a treasure trove with a large collection of rare items.
Moreover, she said that she did not dedicate anything to the goddess.
To put it more simply, the two countries are located in the western part of the continent.
And the western region also has mountain ranges where the rare media can be obtained.
…………
I have heard that Yonato has suffered considerable damage from the previous invasion.
Even King's Capital suffered considerable damage.
It may be easier to infiltrate now.
Mira, according to the information from the sword of valor...
The general, who is also Emperor Madame's brother, was after the god beast?
It would be delicate to get Nyaki out of this country.
I don't want to do it as much as I can.
But you don't have to leave this country...
Could it be enough to drag that existence to the negotiating table?
"Please don't hesitate to let me know if there is anything I can do to help you with your mediation.I mean... if you're going on a journey to find it, I want you to come with me.Ah - these wings are fine.It's tough for a long time, but you can make it smaller.Besides... I'll show you later, but someone with the crest has a bit of a handy stunt... "
As I was reticent, I raised my face with my thumb on my chin.
"By the way, Mr. Munin, what's the name of that rare item?"
It's called Blue Dragonstone.
