The Branded Female Fencer
Small Ripple, Part 26 - Lisa's Question ① -
"I didn't go all the way out, because I wanted to ask you something"
"Hmm, did you decide what the question was about?
Stervese asked Lisa. Because I wondered if Lisa had decided to answer a previous query. It was something Lisa didn't know what she was talking about, but Lisa answered without hesitation.
"There are those who called me 'Mother Maiden'. I want you to tell me what the hell that means."
"... well. Did that come out before you?"
"You know, don't you?
Lisa's voice will sound like a strong inquiry. Larna almost got herself out again unexpectedly, but only Miriazal didn't know what it was about.
"Is that it? What is that?
"Don't ask now, Miriazal. It's a story that comes very close to the core. Stervese, a true dragon operating from the oldest times. What's in the alphilis?
"One question, it's Lisa. Who the hell do you want to know?
"... you did. Then I will prioritize the question before you. Because that big woman thing is all I have to figure out. But it's very hard to know who you are."
"I see that's your choice. Come on."
Stelvese began to answer Lisa's questions, sitting calmly.
"We have to talk a little bit about the history of this continent before we do. Once upon a time there was a man on this continent who had the power to look to the future. My name is Me Chatless."
"This is the first name I've heard. Who is it?
"We're talking about a time you don't know. At a time when humans still didn't know what sorcery was, she did exist and helped humans survive on this continent with their futuristic eyes. Miriazal, you might have heard that somewhere."
"Mechatres, mechatres... no, I can't remember a name like that."
Miriazal twisted his neck and thought, but it was a name he could not remember. Stervese continued with a faint laugh.
"Miriazal, when your Lord was fighting demons east of the continent, there were those who were doing the same thing on the west side. No, it was faster than your lord, to be exact. At their center were the white-haired ones. It was later to be called the" White Shore Clan, "genuine people."
"The White Shore clan? Isn't that the unity of the Olimpus Association!
"Exactly. That is the story of an era so ancient that it is not left in human history. It's a piece of human history that even your Lord doesn't know about. And Michatres was the first person to raise the White Shore clan and flip a flag against the demons. Has it been nearly 1500 years? Even the Orimpas may be old enough to know some of them."
Stervese talks somewhere nostalgic to Miriazal, who rode herself after Rana. She kept talking with a distant eye.
"Meeshattress was the equivalent of a witch so far. She had superior spirits, no, more powerful spirits existed at the time. That could have been something to be called 'God'. Meeshatres was able to communicate directly with those superior beings, and with the power of futuristic vision she expressed, she acted to open up the future of man. She brought humans together, guided them, and sought the help of wise other races, such as True Dragons.
Whew, Miriazal. Why do you think True Dragons and other races favored you, the rebellious ones?
"... that there was a rooting for Me Chatless?
"That's what I'm talking about. At least she told her concubine. Eventually, the group of humans coming from the east will support us in the shadows, as their chief is a demon, but will bring peace not only to humans, but also to other races. You were right. You showed up."
"Oh my God."
Miriazar totally roared in the background she didn't even know herself. Stervese went on further.
"And Me Chatless knew. Eventually he will be banished from the White Bank clan, and there will come a time of war between humans in contention, and the Orange Bull will run wild and the black sorcerer will raze the world. Knowing everything, and still trying to figure it out, Meeshatres ran around the world and knew he was going to fall in the middle of his mind. All she could see was when she was going to die."
"Wait a minute. Does that sound like Michatres was alive until recently?
"You're alive, aren't you? It hasn't been the past year since he died. It looks like a kid like Hidun killed him."
"You knew that and you didn't try to stop it?
Rana questioned Stervese. Everyone in this room knew exactly what kind of person died. If anyone could read the future, wouldn't that be the trump card against Orangeables? Everyone waited for the words of Stervese, but it was she who spoke sadly.
"Of course, I thought I stopped it. She was human, but also a friend to her concubine. A concubine with thousand-eyed views of the world today and Me Chatless, who sees the future, have often had controversies. She was not only a person today, but also a person who looked ahead, ahead, that and beyond, and tried to capture a better future. A man who wanted all races to be in that better future. The unlikely ideal and concubine smiled, but she couldn't help but smile at the concubine as she ran through the continent saying that that was why it was good. Yeah, I've never known that was the power that humans could have.
But at the same time, I knew I wasn't going to live forever. She knew the time would come when she couldn't help herself. She realized that the combination of karma was too complicated for her to do anything with Meeshatres on this continent, where not only human beings, but also various races and wills mix. And she knew that whoever followed her would surely kill herself. One day she came to the concubine and said: "My death has decided. No matter how you escape, you will die in another decade. Then we must do what needs to be done by then."
She didn't say anything more, but I thought it was a request for help for the concubine. For a long time, I was a woman who didn't throw up only weak noises. That's one of the reasons why the concubine got off the mountain. "
"I understand the story. But how does that relate to Lisa?
"The hope that Meeshatres entrusted to the people left behind that he couldn't help himself. One of them was the word 'mother maiden'. That's what this is about, Lisa."
Make sure you look straight into Stervese's eyes, and blind Lisa was relative to her.
