Munou To Yobareta Ore, Yottsu No Chikara Wo Eru
Episode 249: Next door
"Er... this is..."
"Dear Lord, that's me. I mean, I'll do it all, so please sit down."
"Oh, yes."
The departure was decided early tomorrow morning, and we had made the final reconstruction work to a good place in Kiri, and we were returning to the castle to begin preparing for our journey.
Well, Levi's doing it all for me.
Nevertheless, it's called Vandemion and a good carriage...... sorry to distract Mr. Friedrich the other way......
Reconstruction is getting to some point, and we might as well get this far.
"Dear Lord, I'm almost done. And then tomorrow morning."
"Mmm, thank you, Levi"
Remove the Agertrum from the right arm and place it in the notebook.
That's exactly what I did when I went to bed.
There's a reliable escort outside the room.
"Oh, can I take a rest now?
React to it, and Levi speaks to me like that.
"No, not yet... Is Levi sleepy yet?
"No, I'm fine... what's wrong with you?
"Thought I'd tell you a story from tomorrow. There are a few others... just lie down."
"Okay. Now, we will weaken the lights, so Lord Lord first."
"Oh."
Lights other than the lamp placed near the bed are turned off and the room dims at once.
Eventually Levi, dressed in white skin, entered the bed and leaned straight next to me.
When I give Levi my left hand, she puts her head on there and puts her forehead straight to my chest.
After finishing the battle with the Dragon Clan, it was always up to us to say nothing to each other.
"So, what do we do tomorrow?
Get your face off your chest, and that's what Levy asks at the top of your head.
I'm weak on this face.
"Mm-hmm... first, let's go to Mr. Blance's country"
"Oh, right. I checked it out once. The name of the country where Lady Blance is located is Sumerian... and it looks like a middle-sized country sandwiched between Celtic and Olympus."
"I've heard of it, but you've never been there. I just know it's a pretty prosperous country."
"Yeah. The capital has become a pretty big town. You seem to be struggling with two powerful countries, but on the contrary, you seem to be using them."
"Oh... you mean it's a so-called relay point, like Historia"
"Yeah, but not on the right scale."
Sure...... Olympus and Celtic are # 1 and # 2 in the world.
Being sandwiched by it would not mean that people are in and out of the halfway.
Looks like it's pretty busy.
"Apart from the benefits of being a relay site, it also seems to benefit greatly in the adventurer industry"
"Adventurers?
"Yep. Sumerian is said to be a country that has absorbed the good things about Olympus and Celtic and thereby made its fortune. Like Olympus, for example, we strive to increase the value of our country by attracting top notch shops to the town or by increasing the town's landscape and convenience. Also, when it comes to adventurer business, adventurers need stores like Celtic… that is, laws have been enacted to lower tax rates on liquors, cafeterias, lodging houses, martial arts stores, etc. They have a pretty low tax rate, especially when it comes to lodging, and half the town has become a lodger... so much so that we can talk about it."
"Half the town is a lodging house... that sounds like you have trouble staying"
"Heh heh... right. Also, a particular rarity is that most of the requests listed in the Sumerian Adventurers Guild are made in Olympus and Celtic."
"Hmm? That's..."
"Yeah. Olympus and Celtic are big countries. Therefore, the amount of requests is not unusual either. Sumerian looked there and suggested that we work with the guilds of both countries to spread the many requests. With both countries acknowledging that, you don't have to go to one country or another if you're in Sumeria, you can take both requests… Of course there are requests that are only out in Sumeria, so that's a great system for adventurers who want to do a lot of requests. There also seem to be many voices that it's easier than taking it in your home country. Especially since Olympus says it's hard to make a fortune out of an adventurer if you're not quite up for it, and so much so that new adventurers are outsourcing and flowing."
I see.
And Celtic is probably the # 1 adventurer in the world.
Do you feel that there is more Sumerian as the receptacle?
"In addition, it seems that requests with particular difficulty do not appear to be answered in Sumeria, so you can consider that they can be divided among countries. Anyway, I think it feels like whoever remembers his arm goes to Olympus or Celtic home country, followed by Sumerian with the widest mouth. Anyway, it's a good place to train for adventurers."
"Then you must be overflowing with some particular adventurer right now. Greece is not yet in a position to accept adventurers, and the North is not strange whenever there is a war. Speaking of going, isn't there only Nieberg or those three or so?
"Right...... well, there are a few other leading middle-level countries, but perhaps the three most adventurous ones right now are the ones I've just talked to. Hopefully the northern wars will subside soon..."
"Right...... but I'm sure Mr. Byrne is grasping something. He said he'd be free soon."
"Yeah. Master Byrne would be fine. I trust you, too."
Yes... the place where Mr. Byrne is involved will be fine.
However, I am concerned that Tia and Asuna are likely to be in the north where Titanomachia is located, as well.
Of course, he was in touch with the Dragon Clan. It's possible that that guy just happened to be north...
Oh, no... you said it was the woman that Yorumungand was in touch with.
Titanomachia, who sealed my memory, was a woman too, and then she was the same person, wasn't she?
And it was probably also the person who broke the junction that was installed on the Greek wall.
The person, including Mariana, is alone with the adventurers and soldiers who were on the spot... and has enough power to defeat them in an instant.
Wouldn't be a glimmer...... I need to be on constant alert anyway.
"I'm also curious about the god of the underworld after all... about Hades"
"Oh... it's more about the very existence of God"
The past month involved in the reconstruction of Greece.
I had a conversation with the musketeers and asked them a lot about God.
When I ask Trident and Gungnil about that I've heard before, the answer is still the same for both of us, saying "I can't feel the presence of the God who created me" … I mean, I say maybe it disappeared.
When asked if that was possible, the answer was "Come on?" for both of us.
You also said that Trident had "no choice because it's disappearing as a fact".
I asked the other arsenals, but apparently there are people who know God who created Himself and those who don't, and I honestly wasn't sure that some of them weren't created by God in the first place.
Hercules, for example, was made by the great heroes themselves, and Iron Hearts and Kennushbelts are created in Orcuria, an ancient blacksmith.
Epoli and Mystiltein are created by God, but the answers returned are "like being... not being".
However, two people, Leviataine and Myornil, said they didn't "feel" all together.
I mean, I know what's going on...
"Trident, Gungnil, Levatein, Myolnil... at least the God who created these four is disappearing. What was his name...... what was it?
"Mm, unusual for Lord...... Oh, speaking of which, only in Master Cadukeus' appraisal results was his name listed as Goddess Hermes, but you didn't remember that either"
"Hmm... you can't remember anything. Why not?
"Hehe...... then again. They say that Trident is created in Poseidon, the god of the sea; Gungnir is Odin, the god of storms; Levatein is Prometheus, the god of fire; and Myornil is created in Thor, the god of thunder, respectively."
"Hmmm...... I knew you'd never heard of any of them. I mean, it's about the first time I've even known that God had a name... and after that, I asked a lot of people if I was the only one who didn't know. But I knew nobody knew God very well. There are so many gods, just like me."
"I knew it was strange... you all knew it before..."
"Because of that, how long before?
"At least, before me and Master Crown left the world... I think you all knew a thousand years ago"
"I mean, before the concept of incompetence was born..."
"That's..."
"Yeah... I don't think it's irrelevant. But I don't know how it's connected."
Magic is knowledge given by God.
But man gives us that knowledge. And the name of God... he doesn't know everything.
What the hell...... God.
However, given that... the area around my chest is strange.
"Why don't you go to the temple once? If they're serving God, they might know something we don't know."
"Right...... maybe that too. But if you're going, you're going to headquarters."
"Right. I don't think it makes sense if you don't ask those who stand up there."
"I mean, you have to go to Olympus..."
The headquarters of the Temple is in Olympus, and naturally the Pope, its head, is there as well.
You won't see the Pope exactly, but it makes no sense if you don't ask the Temple's executive class, such as the Cardinals close to it. Because what I want to hear is not what the individuals who belong to the temple think, but how the whole temple perceives the existence of God and how much knowledge they have.
If you want to hear that, you still can't unless you're the one standing up there.
Nevertheless......
"I've got a lot to do and think about... well, I'll just have to start where I'm going to Sumerian anyway"
"Pfft... Apparently, I can still relax... ah..."
I hold Levi with my left hand.
"Does Levi have anything to do with it?
"Huh? What do you want to...?
"Yeah, so do the musketeers... because I want to give it back to Levi"
"Dear Lord..."
"Whatever. I'll make it happen."
"Hmm... now... nothing in particular"
"What? No?
"Pfft...... yeah. Because what I want to do... it's already happening."
