Sword of the Philosopher

"Now you've got all the information you need."

Lord Forna finishes the report. The place is the dining room in the mansion. While we were gathering outside information, Forna obtained valuable information from noble private soldiers.

Forna's the only one indoors besides us. We are having a conversation over a cup of tea, and Forna takes a sip before continuing the conversation.

"Sounds like you were more of a belly soldier than just a private soldier... you can also tell from the fact that you were giving away daggers and such using Star God's technology"

"As a nobleman, were you in the mood for this investigation raid?"

Forna responded "Exactly" to my words.

"I guess he had information in his possession about the princess's journey beforehand. On top of that, the attack continues to fail and in some cases is fought back. If the prince lost his legs, he thought to himself," The powder could fly. "

"You mean for preservation... then I'm convinced, but if so, is there any chance that nobility will act without giving up?

"My stomach is raided by demons, so the movement will be at least gone. Well, there's a messenger, so it's not like there's no one who can move."

"As things stand, at least, I don't see that messenger."

"Then I guess it means you're worried about whether you've pulled your hand or handled it. It's unlikely Princess Emena will make a move by the time she gets here."

Forna put her arms together after concluding.

"This one is due to Mr. Leon and his family's visit to the Rizfana continent... it's in their own hands."

"All we have to do later is observe if there is any change in Princess Emena's journey... so, the time left -"

Forna nods small at the mention.

"Not much, that's the truth. If you are following the prophetic currents of the wise man, it is possible that you will arrive at this mansion in about ten days' time. This is only the shortest case, but here we are."

"Ten days... the way we move is determined by the operation, but what do we do with the time left"

"Do you look for the Spirit, the third piece of information?

Sophia asks. I'll shut up there.

The Spirit as a candidate was also investigated. The name itself was also in previous life...... the name is Whisp. Would the name Willow Whisp be more famous?

In previous life, there were various roles. There are also negative images of the souls of the dead who originally wander at night, and it is not a concept of the Spirit in the first place… in this world they are separated from the Spirit. He looks human...... he looks like a child.

It's unclear if it's glowing, but Whisp seems to be an indigenous spirit in this Lisfana continent. Even the sage prophecy didn't get any information about the Spirit, and I did the trial version of the latest book in the game, but there was no Spirit Platter... so when asked if she was involved in Princess Emena's journey, it's a subtlety.

"In the future the wise man saw, there was no talk of the Spirit."

Leese points it out. So I...

"Star God's technology... that's the big theme, but this battle is between royalty... because at the end of it is civil unrest, I guess the implications are greater because as Princess Emena's battle, she's a person who uses that technology than Star God itself"

"Does that mean that information about Star God is not so important...?

"Oh. I'm pretty sure Princess Emena would also like to know more about Star God's technology than visiting Lord Forna's mansion. But recognizing it's dangerous, impeaching the prince… for the princess, it's enough information that it's dangerous. Therefore, there is no need to listen to the star god in detail."

"That's why the Spirit of Translation didn't even come out into the future of the wise...... but how can Whisp read the language?

"I looked into that. Let me explain."

Forna says. So, to wait for the word.

"Simply put, the Spirit Whisp keeps more memories than it did in ancient times"

"Keep your memories...?

"Whisp manages their history well. There was a record of communication with humans in it, and it was related to the ancients who were studying the star gods. It seems that a spirit with some authority about memory can be viewed, and the unity in it was involved with the country"

"The reason the Spirit took part in the study..."

"I don't know, but it seems there are quite a few Whispers out there, so it's possible that they've treated humans with curiosity."

Hmm, if that's the case, there's an atmosphere where we can get enough information.

"I don't know if the spirits who participated in the translation also made a covenant with the country... but this premise would also allow us to interfere with the spirits and talk"

"Sure. But if you meet a spirit--"

"I wouldn't say risk is zero, more than being of the same race. It's just that if Whispers involved with the country are still dealing with the country, it's unlikely the Spirit will talk to anyone else just because we're here in the first place."

That may be true if you say so... but it's definitely a powerful piece of information, and it's something we can hope for.

"I doubt it, how could the aristocrats have had such information?

It was an inquiry from Kati. In this case, information refers to information about a Whisp herd and another herd that was associated with the country.

"The nobility's sincerity is unknown, but maybe he was trying to carry out his own research. Mr. Leon and his men came to this country, and the nobles were so busy moving."

I see, I tried to act ahead of time to profit... and as a result I came to the conclusion that I was going to harm Princess Emena... and it was good to be crushed early as a result.

"The aristocrats don't move anymore... no, more than they can, we also use the information he's got. The question is when to go… the place where the herd is located is within ten days. Seven days back and forth...... Mr. Luon would be quicker. Sometimes, though, there are unforeseen circumstances. If you are going to have a meeting with Princess Emena, it would be best to do so in this mansion. Therefore, Mr. Luon and the others should stay here at that time. I'll leave the decision to you."
