Sword of the Philosopher

The fact that the ruins of angels are at the bottom of the earth also seems kind of a strange story. But I could have guessed why I existed in such a place.

This time I said I was going, it also included the implication of confirming it.

"Well, then, Sophia, I'll be there, so watch your back."

"And Master Luon."

Tell her we're headed to the ruins of the angels, and I'm leaving the Knights base. Sophia still said something, but she never said it because Raefin stopped her, or because we discussed it on both sides.

I have told Sylvie and the others that I will go to the ruins through the demon... so I will go all at once due to the fast moving magic. On that road, I check with the invisible Garc.

"Garc, about the demon king's measures. But what's the problem?

"It hasn't happened so far"

"Then keep it up, please"

'I know... so this is the case, but there's one thing that bothers me'

"What do you care?

"Question against Lord Luon."

To me? Tilt your neck, Garc mentions.

'When I mentioned the inexplicable magic, I didn't react so well. You got something on your mind?

That's just sharp, Garc. That's why I'm headed to the ruins.

"... I'm talking about something I'm guessing. If it's confirmed, we'll talk then."

"Mm-hmm. Can you talk to me too?"

"It's not as urgent as the Demon King. Just..."

"Just?"

That's it, my mouth stops.

"... well, let's get this over with"

Garc is silent. I know you probably want to ask questions, but in the end, I never asked.

- There is nothing to say about the journey from there, and I step into the northern part of the continent. Is it something like the north, or the edge of a place called the north, because it is about a little north of the central part of the continent?

Arrive at Nagtrad, a town near the ruins. It's just that it's already a pile of rubble there, and it tells the story of the misery caused by the demonic raids. From there, I was guided by Gark, and I tried to get to the basement.

"Wait."

Called down. A woman dressed in a red robe when she turned her gaze, thinking there was no way anyone was there. I had red hair and a grown-up atmosphere as much as I was over twenty.

"Isn't that Feus?"

Feus of the Divine Spirit, the human version was there.

"Yeah, we were supposed to accompany him."

There is another presence beside her. A man with long, dark blue hair and hardened himself with armor. He looks at me a little long and doesn't even look hostile, but he doesn't have very good feelings. He looks at me with his arms around him.

The sign or atmosphere makes me wonder who I am.

"... Could it be Azua?

"You think it doesn't look good, etc.?

A stabbing word. Azua laughed mockingly as I shook my neck to the side.

"I was interested in the magic that Gark was concerned about. So I decided to go along with the investigation."

"... is the Demon King's magic countermeasure good?

"So far, it's not a problem, so I'm here."

Feus speaks on behalf of Azua.

"It's the main body that's spreading the identity, but we're here. I can't even think about you, but it's like you're looking for someone."

- Garc is divorced, but the situation is that the Divine Spirit is all here. If the Spirit or something sees you, you're about to fall apart.

"... Okay, I get it"

I admit, I go underground with a god spirit who looks like a human being.

The place is more like a rift in the earth than a cave, causing unpleasant signs that you'll never get out again when you get in.

"... but that's a strange story"

In front of the entrance, suddenly Azua starts talking.

"The ruins of angels are much more present in places rooted in the earth. In the woods and in the rocky mountains...... is there a reason I made it to that kind of place?

"It's been a long day, Azua."

When Feus sounded funny, Azua glanced at him.

"I just said a simple question."

"Oh, yeah? But I think it's rare to speak out like that."

"... if it wasn't for these opportunities, we wouldn't be able to talk. If you're not willing to have a conversation, that's fine."

Sounds like a coincidence, these gods...... are you okay with me doing magic tricks with you?

"Don't worry about that."

Garc's voice echoes in my head, as I read my mind.

"With that said, Lord Luon, there was one thing I had to tell you"

"What?"

"I was also concerned about the ruins of angels. I was going to do a little research."

"Really? Then what are you going to do?"

And when I tried to tell you, all of a sudden, the signs of Garc were gone from inside my body.

"... hey?

"Just a little bit and you'll see."

Words from Feus. Tilt her neck, she says.

"I didn't know we were gonna do that until we got here."

... What are you talking about? I tried to put my doubts into my mouth, but I interrupt and for now I go ahead and go into a rift.

It creates lights and steps into the cave. Slightly more slopes make it difficult to walk, but you can go back. It's just not big enough to travel fast using magic, so be careful not to slip off.

Eventually, I went out into a slightly larger space. So...

"Hey, I've been waiting for you."

There was a boy. Deep green - a boy around the age of ten with dark green hair worn by green trees and dressed for easy movement.

I'm sure. This sign...

"Hello, Garc?

"Correct. Greetings."

Hands up and gently tells the boy Garc.

"'Cause wait a minute, the characters are too different for anything!

"You care about the details, Luon."

It's called off.

"I'm trying to change my personality when I look like this. See, it's always funny when you respond the same way."

"... well, that's fine."

"You don't seem convinced, but let's move on"

Somehow, the businesslike attitude looks clear... well no, I can't go on talking.

I'll follow Gark's lead to the back. There is no such thing as anxiety in a situation where the divine Spirit assembles everything, but rather being able to stay in the mood of aboard a big ship.

"So, we were just talking."

Suddenly Gark says. Is that what Azua was saying?

"There are many elements that can be deduced, but here's the theory I claim. Because angels were doing something about the magic that existed beneath the earth, didn't they build their own dwellings in places like this... So, Azua"

"Do you know why?

"I don't know about that. Just one thing I found out as I looked into it. When the angels lived on this continent, something nasty seemed to have happened and brought it up."

Correct, I shrugged in my heart.

The problem I have is only speculation at this stage. But if this is true...

From there it goes further and further underground as well. By the way, according to the stories of the Garcs, the ground around here was ravaged by demons and such, but the ground was safe and free from contamination by magic.

"So this was just a crossing point."

When Gark spoke his conclusions, he discovered the ruins forward.

Its stone building is illuminated with light in the darkness and reminiscent of an unreal appearance. If you look closely, the color of the stone is blue. Did you think that because you can't see the sky underground, at least just the stone color?

"... Well, come in"

Tell the spirits - I stepped into the ruins.
