Sword of the Philosopher

Spirit Whisp holds ancient memories - from which there is ample possibility that he knows about the Star God. While Elua, the spirits who govern the herds we visit, says he doesn't know about the memories that another herd holds.

"The flock of spirits who have lent a hand to the Holy King Rebait are those who are either trying to relate to man. I'm not sure what the purpose is, but there might be a connection between the star gods"

"To descend the star god to earth... that he is active?

"I haven't said that much. But it could be."

Spirit Elua looked hard on my question. Hmm, has the encounter with the Spirit Whisp brought up the presence of enemies that will take you to the Star God?

"On the other hand, there were times when the herd here was deeply involved with humans, but now they refuse to have a relationship with Shisei. Not for a reason... but there have been times in the past when they were after me. How the human side feels about us… we investigated the area and decided it was better not to move now"

"Do you have that policy?

"Right. I, the chief, am the one who sets the policy. Besides, I'm not sure this is the right thing to do. I thought it might be a rebellion from my countrymen in some cases, but it hasn't led to that kind of commotion for one second, and I'm not pushing them back because humans have come. That's a neutral position."

You mean the herd here is stable? For one thing, it doesn't seem like our visit is going to cause a commotion.

Hmm, the purpose has been achieved as it stands, so I can say hello later and go home... Sophia opened her mouth when I was thinking about what to do.

"Do you mind if I talk to you a little more?

"Oh, that would be nice"

"Currently, as far as I can tell, it's good...... how well do you know the trends of other flocks of Spirit Whisp?

"Essentially, I'm spending all my time in a rush. Instead, the Rebait Holy Kingdom-associated herd is the exception."

"Really? At least, there's no other spirits involved with humans in the herd."

"Right. But I don't know everything either, so there may be some movement while I can't see it."

"Ok, thank you...... Dear Luon"

"Something bothering you?

"I have a few questions. Including Master Luon, it was just beyond question, and there might not have been a need to think about it in the first place...... why did the Holy Kingdom of Liebait develop technology this way as well?

technology. That refers to stellar god-related information obtained in ruins,

"The analysis of technology is progressing thanks to the Spirit Whisp… this in itself is nowhere to be questioned in particular. The problem is speed. Approximately a few years… I analyzed the Star God information to penetrate technology into the country and develop it, but it seems to be going fast."

I remind myself of downtown at night. Views seen in Wang Du. That's exactly what the Holy Kingdoms, nowhere else, got by digging up past technology.

"It's not simply imitating. What is missing is reproduced to make up for it… there must be a technology that is not reproducible at present. But many technologies came back and brought numerous benefits… The status quo may be a simple category of technology among the information we have unearthed, but we must not have spread it…"

"I see... Sophia, could it have been that you saw technology in the castle and wondered?

"I felt the catch. Of course, I didn't put it on my face."

"Sure, I thought it was a little dangerous."

followed by words from Liese. Dangerous?

"It is good to use ancient technology, but is safety not a problem? I questioned you about that during the business meeting, but it was all right."

"So you convinced me?

"The nobles have a royal ink like no other, so they can say... but I don't think even the royalty at heart has a crushing grasp of all the art of star god. Sophia's right, analyzing the technology before using it is fast. Though there is a back shield called Prince Livina, he may be trying to spread the technology a little forcefully"

"Assuming that's the case... what conclusions are drawn?

"- Someone is teaching and developing technology to the Holy Kingdom in order to revive the Star God"

And the Spirit Elua spoke.

"Is that good enough for you? Two princesses."

"Right...... of course, it's just my guess"

"I guess it's never zero."

Sophia and Liese successively made representations. I see, is that what you mean?

"Dear Luon, what do you think?

"... you didn't come out in the future of the wise, did you?

"That's true, but not everything would have been foreseeable with a wise man. Even the ability to prophesy is dominated by triggers and results, much of the process being omitted. No wonder the conspiracy was swirling in there."

... we know how the star gods descend. Only Princess Emena is at the centre of that destination. Depending on what she does, we have a policy.

I followed her trends because it was the conclusion that the future of the wise man would also emerge due to her actions, but it is certainly not strange that something should happen in her awkward ignorance. Even the ability of a wise man may have limitations.

"Then let's assume we have those forces. How are we supposed to move?

"On Princess Emena's journey... and how far are you involved in the unfolding of the battle? Currently, Princess Emena is acting as we assumed. But with us, there are forces as unexpected as a nobleman aimed at the princess. With that in mind… the most important concern is the forces that support the star gods, starting with Spirit Whisper… whether they know about us or not"

We fight the star gods, huh? If so, it could be a frontal collision.

So far, we're not supposed to know what we're doing. But sooner or later you will be exposed under the day… what will happen when that happens?

It may have been a good idea to assume at this point in time, although there has been an increase in the number of concerns… With such a conclusion, we should continue our discussions.
