Sword of the Philosopher
What's left
"... letter, right"
Sophia says. I even made a key that used the sage's blood muscles, and the identity of what the sage left behind was...... a letter.
It is extremely likely that important information is asleep in it. When I nodded small at her, I opened the letter in the form Sophia represented and began to read.
"This letter is addressed to someone with the blood of a wise man… and to the person accompanying him. Because the boxes that are sealed are meticulously constructed so that they can only be opened to the sage's blood muscles, it is inevitable that the blood muscle will be reading this letter. Let me proceed on that assumption."
It's a lot of rhetoric... well, just in case.
"The content we describe here is a clear fact, but there will be many unbelievable things. But as far as I'm concerned, I want you to accept... that the text from here is ready to read."
That's all I said. Sophia looked at me with chilli. This one snorts silently...... she reads more letters.
"... I think the fact that I am a wise man is spoken from the mouth of Lord Forna. I have acted on the verge of star gods starting to operate greatly and am now entrusting a letter. If things were any better, I would have gone myself and wanted to talk... but I decided that was difficult. Reading this letter will mean that I am entering my own star God and stopping my activities."
... Is he currently struggling in the heart of the stars?
"I don't need to talk about my coming... so I'll start by explaining why I got into Star God. That is due to the battle against the Demon King. The demon king who ravaged the nations… its purpose was to gain power to destroy the star gods"
This is the part where Croix, the son of the Demon King, was also discussing something. Is that the form that is also spoken from the mouth of the wise man?
"Before the showdown, I had a conversation with the Demon King. Why ravage nations... because it is fragmented but the future is visible, and I know it... the future that the star gods will destroy. To prevent it, the Demon King thought of gaining power. Everything is to save our compatriots… no matter what, the work of the Demon King, who sacrificed so many human beings, is not acceptable. That's why I stood up."
The demon king we fought for was doing the same thing again. And in the moment, the Demon King groaned that he could save... because he thought that I or Sophia might be able to defeat the Star God?
"And I told the Demon King. If I were to destroy the Demon King, I would inherit his will... as a result, the Demon King took the form of a seal. All in all, I began my journey to defeat the Star God. He crossed various continents and sometimes stepped into the realm of phantom beasts. In the past, there were traces of civilization sleeping when the star gods were active. I learned about the star god through all means."
We're going to the place. Even if we didn't, we were following in the footsteps of the wise.
"As a result, it turns out that I don't... have enough power to defeat the Star God. No, should I say I understand? I was desperate then and distressed about what to do. So I tried to curb that activity by entering myself into the Star God. It was reckless behavior, and I might lose myself. but I thought it was necessary to do it and moved on to execution"
Sophia keeps reading the letter. And Forna and her companions will listen and not pinch their mouths.
"I was gaining some of his power through the seal of the Demon King. That's the ability of prophecy...... I also saw the desperate future that Star God would bring. The moment I saw it, I knew what it was like to be the Demon King. That must be destroyed..."
That's all, you mean it was a tragic event...
"But while I was one with Star God, the ability of prophecy was lost… But I kept as much information as I could get in the prophecy, knitting measures… There's not much more I can do than be inside Star God though. I can't even be directly involved. If that were possible in the first place, it would be nothing more than the power of the star god affecting the earth. So I interfered in this world in a roundabout way."
That's it, Sophia stopped the words once.
"... the text from here would be something that doesn't make sense. It's probably about leaning your neck if you're not a party. Near the blood muscle reading this letter, I don't even know if there is a person in question...... so I will ask you one question before reading the next sentence. If there is one, read on from here."
Sophia looked through the questions or her eyes slightly enlarged. What it says...... watching, eventually she opened her mouth.
"- Is there a reincarnation from another world around the person reading this letter?
"Divergent...?
Forna tilted her neck. I'm pretty sure you don't know what that means. If it came from someone who didn't know what was going on, it would suddenly feel like something was wrong.
But all but Forna silenced. The cause is obvious... because the parties are here.
"Mr. Forna."
"Hmm, what's up?
"I'm the reincarnation from the other world."
It was unexpected, Forna loses her words and looks at me.
"Well, I don't know... it's a shock that the sage has mentioned it there... just the information Sophia's been reading so far, but Tsujitsu doesn't fit"
"On the point of reincarnation?
"The quality of magic, etc. is derived from or close to the star god... so much so that there is information that it is of such quality... and if it is the work of a wise man, it is oddly convincing"
"I wonder if the presence of you is one of the measures the wise man has taken against the star god."
I nodded at Reese's mention.
"Probably did the same thing over and over again... because there were reincarnators besides me"
"Yeah, apparently so"
Sofia says the word of consent. I guess the truth exists in what follows from here. When I urged her to read more with my gaze, Sophia took a breath and then started reading the text of the letter again.
