Sword of the Philosopher

"Who is the informant against you?

The question was raised by Sofia. I'm asking, but from the look on her face, she seems to be getting some certainty.

I had a rough guess, too. A rebel inside the star god. That 's--

"... you seem to have an idea. Exactly. The man... is a wise man who has sealed the Demon King"

Give me this far and I could have predicted. But a wise man......

"That there's something left of him here."

I ask looking at the box I put on the table.

"Does that mean he's still alive?

"I visited here because I didn't have much time left," he said.

"Time?"

"I didn't elaborate on the reason... but I can presume that there was probably some change in Star God. As a result, the wise have come to the need to move"

... because we made a move, huh? No, even if we didn't do anything in the first place, the world will collapse in this story.

Forna goes on to talk about it even more while we're thinking about it.

"There was a question as to why he was at my place... There was, but the fact that I was a wise man led me to swallow everything. He thought it would be possible to find me... but there was no basis."

That was all convincing......

"He also taught me many things about Star God… I just knew fragmentary information about himself, Star God's destruction of the world"

This is a natural story. For the wise man himself, the doomed years were a long time ago.

"So don't assume that what you just told me is a reasoning based on considerations such as what the sage taught you... there was one thing the sage was clearly determined to do. Sooner or later, the star god starts his activity again. But it is in the hands of no one else, and at the same time it triggers the doom."

So, Forna glances at us.

"Looks like you already knew that."

"I have information different from yours, but..."

"Right. I'm also very interested in that... but it looks like we're going to have to get this one's credit to talk about it."

The current situation is hiding Sophia and Reese's identity. You can reveal it... no, do you want me to stop yet?

"Fair enough. Let's just say we move on."

Forna coughs there. That's when I had my doubts about the wise man.

In the first place, why did you leave information at this place? Besides, is there any intention that you've been looking for people from outside the continent like us? I was just wondering......,

"Hey, Mr. Forna. Did you originally meet a wise man?

"No, I don't. That's why you're surprised when you visit."

"Oh well..."

The most likely thing is that the wise man knew something about this world so that I could know the story. At the same time that I think this seems to be the most likely thing, then a new question arises as to what a wise man is.

No way. Same reincarnator as me......? I couldn't deny that possibility, either, or even the predictor seemed good. If the wise man was operating in the star god, the purpose was definitely the destruction of the star god. In the process, I can see the future... I just wonder how you got the ability to predict.

"Sage taught me a lot of things. Among other things, important things exist… until now it is only a story of the past that we have talked about. How the history of this world was spinning...... just analyzing it. But."

"The star god thing exists in its present progression"

Forna nods strangely to the point.

"I've already grasped that too... rather than coming here to take measures or something. Yes, Star God destroys the world again to a future not far from now. The trigger will undoubtedly have to do with the technological developments being made by the Holy Kingdom of Liebait"

"You don't think I'm going to stop you?

"There's no way my opinion gets in my ear... assuming I warned you, I'd just be assassinated. as unnecessary beings. To put it even worse, it might be brought up about material in my possession and used for technology"

"Doesn't man on the side of the Holy King recognize that we are doing these studies?

"It's positioned that what I'm doing is an archaeological field. You don't think I know the dangers of star gods, etc."

Is that why you're being ignored......

"The wise man told me that, and then I asked him what to do. Then he hands me the box and gives it to the person who came from outside the continent to investigate the star god... and he wants me to welcome a visiting human being with pleasure"

Nothing to visit - I understood roughly what that meant in the words.

Perhaps Forna is also a character in the story Princess Emena spins. She decided to find out what Star God was like in her battle with Prince Livina. That's how I visit this place... probably as a muscle piece.

And this would prove that the wise man himself has an approximate grasp of the future. The question here is, is he in the same situation as me, or is there something else...

"Wise men are showing you the way they know the future."

Kati said. Then Forna concurred,

"Oh, about that... I gave you an explanation, too. In the past, he seems to have possessed the ability to predict before entering the star gods"

"Prediction... a statement about a wise man, though I don't have that information"

"I also questioned it, so when I asked, they didn't tell anyone in their lifetime that this was heterogeneous because it wasn't inherently their ability. And about how I gained that ability... this was originally in the possession of the Demon King. He said he fought the demon king and stayed in the wise man because of something."

The Demon King - that's where I remember Ange. Being the daughter of the Demon King, she had the power to guide the future… this probably influenced the ability the Demon King was born with. That was accommodated by a wise man in a fierce struggle... surely this would convince me. Demon King and Sage...... although the existence of the cause was between each other, I felt that the relationship between the two became a single line.
