Sword of the Philosopher

This continent - rather than this world - has magic that could not have existed in previous life. Humans can manipulate magic with it, so they benefit greatly from having magic… harm also exists. That is the existence of demons and such...... 'Divine Hidden' is one of them.

"Why did a knight named Nork think I had information about 'God Hidden'?

Question for Eina - 'Hidden from God' refers to a phenomenon in which people suddenly disappear, just like in previous lives. In previous life, it's easy to imagine places like this, for example, where planes and ships suddenly disappear in demonic waters, or tree seas that once stepped in, you can never come back.

It's just different from previous life...... the 'god hide' in this world is that magic does evil and makes people go away.

"One confirmation before that... Lord Luon, how much do you know about 'Divine Hidden'?

"Uh, yeah... it happens in places with unnaturally high magic concentrations. So, the reason people disappear is because they get dark magic and lose their sanity, and they don't go back to their homes as they are, or because they were eaten by demons attracted by magic... and then they have dark magic in them and their flesh is destroyed... that's about it. And Sophia?"

"Same goes for me."

"Oh well... how about Garc, by the way?

Garc appears on the table when asked. It's the Spirit, and I might have a different view on 'God Hidden'...

"It seems to point to a phenomenon such as that said by Lord Luon. And then there's the possibility of demonization. '

"Demonization?

"In some cases, the place where divine concealment actually occurs is where temper exists. Influenced by it, it loses reason and becomes a demon. Well, there's not one reason people disappear. I suppose all the causes mentioned by Lord Luon are actually happening."

"- Nork says, then there is an unexplained part"

And, Eina starts talking.

"When I heard more about it, he said his brother was doing research on 'Divine Hidden'. As Lord Luon said, there are many different reasons why people disappear... but as for the phenomenon you gave me earlier, with some strength, I should theoretically no longer encounter 'divine concealment'"

Yes Eina goes on...... what do you mean?

"Influenced by magic, or the destruction of the flesh, means that the body appears modulated by dark magic. In other words, if you keep that dark magic from entering your body with a magic barrier, you can prevent these two things. And you can deal with demons if you have the power to eat them. But there are parts of this that cannot be explained… for example, as the brother of Knight Nork, who had the power, encountered and disappeared from" Divine Hidden ""

- So you were desperate because it was part of your brother's disappearance?

"In addition to the spirits of this continent, Lord Luon is also involved with angels. Based on them, I don't know anything about 'divine hiding'... but I can't speak directly to Lord Luon. That's why he said he took the other way."

"I see... that's why you asked me"

"I did some research on what Nork's brother studied, but he seems to have made another assumption about why people disappear. I guess there's a reason you wanted to prove that hypothesis."

"Is there another cause?

"According to research materials left by Nork's brother, it was noted that some of those who disappeared without a body were related to the ruins of an angel"

The ruins of angels......?

"There are ruins of angels near where 'divine concealment' occurs, and sometimes they take in that human being..."

"Is the ruin of an angel always present where 'divine concealment' occurs?

"Not sure if it's all, but at the point he studied it, those places... they observed the distortions of magic found in the places where the ruins of angels exist"

Hmm, the ruins of an angel...

"I don't know much about the 'hidden' story either, so don't even know it when asked... if it's related to the ruins of an angel, maybe it's different."

"What do you mean?

That's what Eina asked back... she opened her mouth faster than this one answered to guess what I was trying to say.

"What if Lord Luon... says it has something to do with being called 'God'?

"If the ruins of an angel are in a place where 'divine concealment' occurs, I was just wondering if that's possible."

"Maybe it's not too bad to look into it."

And this is Garc's opinion.

"Actually, I've spoken to Lord Devals, the head of heaven, without turning over Lord Luon."

"Don't tell me?

'I wasn't keeping it a secret. I simply didn't get a chance to talk...... he said that this continent of Sherzia is the closest place to the presence of God and Dollar and that's why the angels built the facility here. These facilities were mostly located in magical gathering points, so there were many underground, but there were also such facilities on the ground, and there would be many untouched places because they were magically hidden. "

"So maybe if there's an angel ruin in the place where 'divine concealment' occurs, it's gotta be weird if something happens there"

"Uhm. It's in a place where people like Hidden God shun away. Almost any imitation that someone would take the initiative to look into. So there must be a lot of untouched points.

"Speaking of which, Master Gark,

And, abruptly, Sophia asks.

"Is there no harm done to the spirits about 'divine hiding'?

'At least I've never heard of it. In humans and spirits there are great differences in body structure, etc. Maybe it has something to do with the area.'

"You think it's a human phenomenon only?

"Uhm... Probably"

Hmmm...... it's also true that Garc started to care more than he said this.

"... it's probably impossible to figure out 'Divine Hidden' itself, but it might be interesting to find out about the ruins of angels"

'Is there a way to find out? My main unit makes it possible to find out about magically invisible angel ruins, but not with a single person. "

"I've been taught a lot by Mr. Devals too... weren't you Garc then?

'Cause I'm not always observing Lord Luon. I have to sleep from time to time to consume more magic to operate.'

It's my first ear...... no well, it was happening in an important phase, and I never had to know before to get a problem.

"Well... I also incorporated angel relics into Lesbail's ability to analyze them. If you're going back to Sherzia, it won't hurt to remember."

Devals doesn't know about the time when angels were active on this continent because he is not an ancient angel... Rather, the majority of what angels were doing on this continent and so on are only fragmented because materials and so on are also lost.

So we need to get into the ruins of the angels we left behind and find out... we've been touring the ruins of the angels since we destroyed the Demon King, but some of them have not been found at that time. It was Devals who gave me the power to discover it.

"So I'd just like to investigate if I can..."

"If Lord Luon wants, I think you can leave the castle and do a little research."

Eina speaks...... is that it or does it also have mood swinging implications?

"The place Nork's brother was looking into isn't that far from the capital. With mobile magic, you'll be there in less than a day."

"Uh, if that's the case, let me look into it..."

"Then let's make sure there's no problem."

Eina tells me... I wonder if she cares about me too. Personally, I'd appreciate it.

So now we're going to find out about 'God Hidden'... but there's still time for the festival. Let's make a lot of moves in terms of free time.
