The Grand Prince Has Run Away

I let the members of the Church of Salvation stay in a nearby hotel. You can leave for Kara right away with them, but first we have to find out. The piece of the absolute anvil in Kara was most likely taken by Evelyn, so there was no need to rush.

"Is there really a way for Savannah to save humanity? ’

According to the information obtained by Alfredo the Monk in interpretation of the Book of the Dead, collecting all the pieces of the Absolute Anvil appears to be a way for mankind to be saved in some way.

It's a dream if it's true. It means that mankind will be saved, which means that I too can survive. I can die getting expelled if I do well. It's exciting to imagine.

I need to see Evelyn right away. The author of the Book of the Dead is Savannah, and Evelyn is her servant. You may hear more about Evelyn.

The question was, how did you meet Evelyn? Armida and Shura haven't returned to Kara yet, so they must be staying here at Divinum Sanctuary to keep an eye on them. I don't know where they are.

“Ah!”

I just woke up. Evelyn figured out how to find it. She could be anywhere near Armida, Katrine, or she could have planted a bug like she used to. We need to monitor their activities.

I went straight out and strolled the streets of Divinum Castle at night.

The hotel Prague was where I was headed. The hotel where Katrine's people are staying.

Of course, you can go to the Darkness Hotel where Armida and Shura stay, but there is likely to be no wiretaps installed. I threatened Evelyn once before. But I'm sure Katrina's people will be there.

When I arrived at the hotel, I spoke to the counter and summoned Catherine's group.

“Mr. White?”

Princess Ignes came down to the lobby on the first floor and greeted me. I waved my hands as a courtesy.

“Huh."

“But what are you doing here? ”

“I have something to do. ”

“What kind of business? ”

“Not to you, it doesn't matter. Where are you staying? ”

“The suite on the third floor. ”

“Well, show me. ”

I went up to the suite where they were staying with Princess Ignes. After the visit was widespread, I saw Katrina lying on the couch in her underwear eating snacks. Seeing that there were food debris and empty dishes all around, it was like eating food all day long.

I'm so amazed that I don't gain weight like that. Perhaps if the Valkyries were human, they would have been lured away by other comrades.

Katrina blinks and looks at me for a moment, then screams in horror.

“Hey! You can't just barge in here! ”

“Sorry, I came to get something. ”

While Katrina was getting dressed, I looked at the magic lamp on the ceiling.

The eavesdropper Evelyn uses is a magical tool that has the ability to hide Mana. No matter where they were, they didn't notice, but there was a good chance they were there.

If there is a problem with the hidden Mana function of the listening device, it will be hidden by the Mana energy flowing from the magic lamp.

After a glimpse into Katrina's body, I climb into a chair and separate the magic lamps.

“There is.”

Katrina shouts, all dressed up.

“Kid, what are you doing?! ”

I grabbed the bug and ripped it out of my pocket. I got off the chair and held Katrina's hand.

“Congratulations."

“What, what? ”

“For the first time in my life, I did something that would help the world. It's extraordinary."

“What the hell are you talking about? ”

I looked around without a care in Katrina's Yarim.

“But where is Princess Sierra? ”

Princess Ignes, who was standing behind me, replied.

“I'm training at the training ground instead of Divinum. ”

“In the middle of the night? ”

“Yes.”

I kicked my tongue.

“Things you can't study, you can't tell when you're studying when you're resting. Are you grading me for just sitting at my desk? You need to be good at concentrating. Ehhh. Who's going to take that stupid girl? · · · · · · · ·. ”

“You can't say that to Princess Sierra. ”

“What? Study? ”

“No. Who's going to take him? ”

I rolled my eyes. Princess Sierra lost her fiancé two years ago, and Crown Prince Robos, who was on his way back and forth, disappeared into the dew of execution due to the rebellion of the former Duke of Bastein.

Anyway, the King of Bastein made a lot of trouble for Princess Sierra.

“Oh, sorry. ”

As soon as I tried to apologize and leave, Katrina grabbed my shoulder.

“Where's the kid going? ”

“I have to go quickly. ”

Katrina's eyes are on fire.

“Kid. You don't think you can just barge into a room where the ladies are staying without permission, do you? ”

I looked around and opened my eyes.

“Lady? Where the hell is she? ”

“Hey!"

“I'm in a hurry. Come back to Kara later if you have anything to say. Either way, we can have a deep conversation about courtesy. Goodbye.”

I scurried out of the lady's chamber. Katrina tries to catch up, but she doesn't come after Princess Ignes.

Out of the hotel, I took out the bug in my pocket and said a few words.

“Evelyn, let's see. I have something urgent to tell you. Place is in front of the restaurant we met last time. Come quickly.”

Then I hurriedly headed to Lane Premium Restaurant. I've met him before, so Evelyn should know better.

* * *

The night went deeper. Standing in front of a closed Lane Premium restaurant, I rolled my feet. I've been waiting for a long time, but Evelyn isn't coming.

“Oh, this woman. You didn't hear that? ”

As I try to retrieve the bug again, I hear a happy voice in a dark alley nearby.

“Backbone. Aren't you interfering too much with our work? ”

I hurriedly looked around the alley.

“I was in a hurry. I'll shoot you later.”

“Do you have a dime? We worked so hard to install that bug. ”

Evelyn stumbles on her crutch.

I opened my eyes wide. Evelyn has bandages all over her body to make sure she's badly injured.

“Hey, are you hurt a lot? ”

“Yes. I was assassinated a few days ago. ”

I opened my eyes wide. I can't believe Evelyn failed to assassinate the world. She was the world's greatest assassin before she went underground.

“Who's the opponent? Are they Valkyries?”

Evelyn frowns.

“If you're a Valkyrie, you don't get a fever. I was beaten up by a country geezer who didn't look like much. Tsk. I thought you were such a strong inspiration. ”

“Who the hell is that? ”

“You know him. Monk Alfredo.”

I blinked my eyes.

“The conspiracy theorist? ”

“Yes, I was deceived by that face and that behavior. That old man's a nine-cycle scribe. ”

“Oh, really? ”

“Yes. I was going to stab him in the head. The old man reached out, couldn't get a move on. ”

“No, that's ridiculous. ”

Evelyn grips her teeth.

“Tsk. Who's your wife?" ’I should have known when I did it. ”

“No, why? ”

“I hid my wits and approached them with invisibility magic. But I figured it out. ”

I swallowed a dry saliva. I am not aware of Evelyn's invisibility magic and hiding wits.

“Oh, my gosh. And how did you survive that? ”

“The heart was kind, and he let it go. ”

“Really?"

Evelyn's eyes dart at me.

“But you knew, didn't you? ”

“What am I? ”

“If not, he wouldn't have planted him as a spy in a rural group like that. ”

I couldn't help but look away. I can't say that I planted Aaron there because of what happened in the future.

“Against, roughly · · · · · · · · · ·. But Alfredo didn't know that old man was so tough. ”

“How the hell did you know about them? I checked the information guild thoroughly, but no one knows anything about Alfredo and the Book of Salvation. ”

“Just sharp edges and cold judgment. ”

Evelyn frowns.

“You. Is that what you call it? ”

“So what do we do? I mean, there's no way to break a human's feelings, is there? ”

“Phew. Okay, let's not talk. Then why did you call me? ”

“Let me ask you something. ”

Evelyn reaches out her hand.

“Counseling fees.”

“I have a lot of questions. I'll drive them all out at once. ”

“Okay, then tell me. ”

“First of all, why did you try to assassinate the monk Alfredo? ”

“Because he knows about the Anvil of the Absolute. If the intel on that thing gets to Chronos, we're in danger. ”

I hold my head back. Just as I predicted. However, this answer also included one blind spot.

“Then why is the Book of the Dead encrypted with records of the absolute anvil and the destruction of humanity? ”

“It's simple. Originally, you wanted to be saved by humans, not by yourself. ”

“Yourself?”

“That's what my master said. Salvation is self-sustaining. Never, no one else will. Especially not the heavenly beings. ”

I narrowed my eyes. I know too much about the world for my sister's friend, Valkyrie.

“Then why are you doing this now? ”

“We humans didn't make it to the last moment. Relying on the heavenly beings, not growing trapped in the framework created by the heavenly beings. That's why my master has to go. Doing nothing is not a crime of death. ”

I smiled, Pic.

“What a spacious Valkyrie. ”

“I think so, too. So the question is over? ”

“The important question hasn't started yet. ”

Evelyn looks at me with her eyes wide open.

“Have you heard anything from Alfredo Monk? ”

“Yes.”

“That must be quite an expensive question, then. ”

“I don't care about the money. All I want is an honest answer. ”

“Good. It's an open secret after all. ”

It seemed to be talking about decrypting the book of death of Alfredo the Monk. When the ciphertext is known in Kronos, the intent of her friend who left the house is fully determined.

I took a deep breath and asked the question.

“Do you really think the world can be saved with an absolute anvil? ”

Evelyn narrows her eyes.

“You don't ask me about destruction? I thought you'd ask me that. ”

“Alfredo told me about your downfall. You said the God of Heaven is coming to open up a dimensional rift in this world. ”

“Yes. It's true, but it's amazing. You believe what he says. ”

“Don't talk nonsense. Just answer the question. Do you really think the world can be saved with an absolute anvil? ”

Evelyn shrugs.

“No, I can't. ”

I was disappointed and distorted. For a moment, I had hope of survival.

“Then what the hell are you doing right now? ”

“Let's buy some time. ”

“Time?”

“Yes. Here's what I said before. The mission of the Valkyries is to end the moment the guidelines of the age point to destruction. ”

“I did. I know. ”

“But it is the heavenly message to bring the heavenly god into this world. It means the age of destruction is coming. ”

I nodded. It can be noticed by the senses.

“I know roughly. So?”

“But in order to descend God, we need to activate a device called 'The Coming of God’ in Kronos, which requires a tremendous amount of Mana energy. This is why Kronos, the heavenly city, is trying to save Chaos Piece. ”

“How much?”

“I can't imagine much. ”

I wondered. You seem to be getting quite a lot of it, but in fact, the price of Chaos pieces sold to the market has not changed much. Of course there's been some fluctuations, but it's because of me.

“No. Where the hell do you get that many pieces of chaos? ”

“The bottom of the ocean. The sea is home to the most magical creatures in the world. When they died, Chaos Piece, which they had, sank to the bottom of the sea. Chronos collects what has been piled up and piled up for years. ”

“I see.”

“But they cannot summon the god of heaven alone. You'll also need the Valkyrie Queen's Key made of adra to activate the Divine Coming Machine. It's just a powerful location-tracking spell, so there's no point in stealing anything and destroying it. And that key can only be destroyed by the Anvil of the Underworld. ”

Steal and destroy the Valkyrie Queen's Key? It seemed like a pretty difficult mission just looking at cancer. Honestly, it's almost impossible to infiltrate the heavenly city of Kronos. It's home to the Valkyries.

But where is this? But there's hope for survival.

“Does that mean you'll be saved if you destroy the key? ”

“I said no. ”

“Why? You said you couldn't activate the descent device without the key. ”

“But God himself came. About a decade until that time. After that, the age of destruction will come. ”

I sighed deeply. It's a decades-long lifespan. It's a little vague. It's good, but there are still a lot of sides missing. My real dream is to die shitting on a wall.

“In the end, everyone dies. ”

“No. Many can live after the age of destruction. Hundreds of thousands? ”

I hurriedly looked at Evelyn.

“How?”

“Build an ark and leave this world. That's why it takes decades. ”

I mean, most of humanity could have survived even if it died.

But I opened my eyes in anger.

“Hey? Hundreds of thousands? ”

“Yes.”

“So you're saying that if you make it one-on-one, you make it fast? Why go to all that trouble to build an ark that will burn hundreds of thousands of people? ”

Evelyn's eyes widen.

“Aren't you sorry to the rest of humanity? ”

“No, to be honest, it's like hundreds of thousands of people, one person. Most of humanity is dead anyway, right? ”

“Fine. Let's say you built a one-man ark. You'll go first, and I'll go first? ”

I glanced at you.

“Then we can make a two-man. ”

“Oh, is it just the two of us? ”

“What do you need to do to make a hundred people? ”

“You could do that. But there won't be room for you in the backyard. They'll be too busy riding our crew. ”

I closed my eyes tight. But that's the thing about the human heart. I come first, and we come first.

“Phew, yeah. Do as you wish."

“Right? What are we gonna do with ourselves? Hundreds of thousands of people have to live in order to preserve humanity. ”

I gripped my teeth and nodded. If you don't have the skills to build an ark, you'll live in filth. That's why I'm tech tech tech. If you have a lot of money, you'll die without skills.

“Yuck. ”

“Any more questions? ”

“Nothing.”

“Then I'll send you a separate bill later. Good work.”

After the conversation, Evelyn limps toward the dark alleyway. Watching this for a moment, I stepped ahead of her and pushed my back.

“Get on your back. I'll take you home. ”

Evelyn reminds me a little of the ball.

“You gonna be okay?"

“It'll be hard, but I'll do my best. ”

Evelyn opens her eyes sharply.

“Do you wanna die?"

“No, not physical strength. The other side.”

“The other what? ”

I rolled my eyes. To be honest, there's a bit of a blur.

“Pride. I don't give my back carelessly. ”

“Phew. Got it. ”

Evelyn held me on her back with a pretty face. I stood up and said, walking.

“And come anytime you need money. ”

“Really?"

“It's not free. Bring me a useful skill. ”

“Phew. Got it. ”

“And I'm working hard on the ark. He made sure my place was set up. ”

“But building the ark, after destroying the key and driving out the heavenly city of Kronos, As long as they're there, there's nothing we can do. ”

“Anyway.”

“Okay, I'll work hard. ”

I turn my head slightly away from Evelyn's face.

“By the way, when you get home, you'll serve me food, right? I hope it's covered in hot soup. ”

“Do you wanna die?"

“If you don't want to. ”

I stared at the night sky with my sad eyes.

A small but hopeful life arose. We must drive out Chronos, destroy the keys, and build a giant Ark, but I will support Evelyn hard.

I believe that she and her colleagues can accomplish enough.

< I support Evelyn. > End
