398th episode
Aldrion's story of Ibius was a little different from what the Luroa Imperial Lady had said.
I thought it was quite objective, given the stories told within the imperial family, but compared to Aldrion's, it seemed to have become a little glorified.
"For the Middle East, I'd rather have thought it was better. It would have been better to show the strength of the empire than just a personal curse from a grudge, but a sacrifice to stop the overwhelming power that threatens the continent."
Besides, the Empire had to hide that the Emperor, who was terrified by the existence of Ibius, had to fight first.….
"But what exactly is Ibius' ability? How great was it that you left behind a curse that was passed down from generation to generation?”
"I don't know either."
“…….”
"It's not just Ibius's ability. But one thing for sure is that it's the ability all her blood relatives had. And since then, I haven't seen anyone use similar abilities."
"So it's not really clear whether it's a curse or not.”
"Such a thing. However, it is highly likely that it would not be a curse if the church failed to resolve the issue. Because it doesn't make sense that over that long time no one's solved it."
"If it's not a curse, it means the pure power that Evius had...….”
In the end, it's in place.
It seemed that only by learning more about Evius could we solve the problem of the empress.
"To tell you a story, the war has made our dragons as they are now."
"Really? Have you guys come out on your own?"
"No. I was asked by the gods. That's why we have relatively little information about the post-war world."
If you look at the behind-the-scenes stories associated with dragons, it certainly seemed there was important information about the war and Ibius at the time.
"So that's all you know, Aldrion?"
"Yes."
That alone dropped 8% to 26%.
'It must have been a very important one.'
Now I had to visit someone else.
One of the first candidates that came to mind was Prince Gentrno, but Jae-ho quickly ruled it out.
He could cooperate with Prince Gentrno, who was in the same boat, but he thought it was too early.
'And the amount of information you know isn't going to be more than the queen itself.’
It was highly likely that she did not know as much as the woman concerned, Luroa.
Next is Kino.
She didn't live longer than Aldrion, but she might know better than Dragon about the post-war world.
However, Jae-ho, who visited Kino, had to hear a disappointing answer.
"Hmm, Ibius......... I've heard of the name, but I'm not sure. In the first place, there are few records of that era in most history books."
Even she, who has spent many years exploring a great deal of knowledge, knew little about the early days of the empire.
"But why are you suddenly curious about the ancient mysteries?”
Kino suddenly interrogates Jae-ho.
"Huh? You could just wonder."
Jae-ho fumbled, but Kino's eyes already had a significant smile.
"The name Ibius is never a name that people today know. When the name of a forgotten man is mentioned again, it means there must be something....... That's funny. What you're up to."
"Nothing's going on."
If Kino adds his hands, there will be some comfort in many ways.
But this was about the Empire.
I didn't know what would happen if someone who couldn't control, like Kino, intervened directly.
"Hoo-hoo, I'm curious, too. I'd like you to let me know if you know about those times."
"What... if I could get it...….”
It wasn't a promise that I couldn't make.
But if he didn't get any information from Kino, it would have been very dark.
Among NPCs Jae-ho knows, Aldrion and Kino, the oldest living ones.
It was hard to imagine that anyone other than them knew the ancient mysteries in detail.
"But just in case...….”
L뤼nior, who visited... shook his head, too.
"The history that follows has been rewritten by the Empire. That's why even if you get data from that era, it's hard to say it's accurate.”
Lunicore said so.
The next one I visited was the giant of the Embay Forest, the natural man.
He's lived a long life, so maybe he knows something...….
"Evius? Eating?"
“…….”
And next is the Dwarfs.
I didn't know what information was hidden in their history.
"Well! I heard that our ancestors' skills at the time were extraordinary. Where did all the mythical weapons go?….”
But like Dwerf, he was only interested in his own history.
Jae-ho, who began to get nervous as his personal connections began to run out.
Since then, I have checked with Elda, Elf elders, Demons Parrow, and others, but there was nothing I could get.
A perfectly veiled ancient record...….
"Well... I don't think I'll get any information unless I've experienced it in person."
I knew one more such thing.
Francair, the patron saint of the Rasel Kingdom.
Like Aldrion, a dragon who has lived through the ages of eternity, might have other information.
"No, it'll be difficult."
"Huh?"
However, Aldrion reacted negatively.
"There have already been several generational shifts in the kingdom of Rasel. Francair is younger than me. But it's not just a common old-fashioned thing. An old child who thinks that his power should only be used to protect the kingdom of Rasell."
“…….”
Then there was no place to get any more information.
"Who, after all, should I find out in 'the place'?"
They had to prepare for the burdensome meeting that was placed in the rearmost ranking.
* * *
Jae-ho standing in the middle of a deserted desert holding a small orgel.
[Angel's Orgel]
[Class: Myth]
[When the performance begins, you can call the steps of light to heaven, which leads you to heaven.
However, a corresponding divinity is required for entry and exit.]
[ : You are protected from most horses just by having it.]
The heavenly pass I received last time from Petimus, the archangel of justice
I was going to use this to get information from heaven.
However, Jae-ho hesitated to explain the item.
"Oh... I should have given this to her."
You could check the curse on her as an option.
Aldrion said it wouldn't be a curse, but it would have been better if he checked it out, just in case.
"No, it wouldn't have worked. This isn't all-around either."
Jae-ho, who holds the orgel, dismissed it as a new grape.
"Whoo......."
After taking a deep breath, I grabbed the spring handle.
"I'm nervous."
Ptimus said that using this would make it impossible for any of the celestial beings to be able to carelessly re-homed.
But it was disturbing to believe what he had done last time.
Drereuk
Jaeho winded and let go of the flagpole next to the orgel, and the middle ornament slowly began to rotate.
Strangely enough, the orgel had brilliant lights instead of sound, showing that the device was working properly.
Hua Ah
A light that grows stronger and stronger.
Piying
Then they gathered together in a single point and shot into the sky, and a huge pillar of light came down from the sky and encircled Jae-ho.
[The power of Petimus, the archangel of justice, surrounds you.]
[Going to the Sky]
With a simple notification, Jae-ho's vision was colored with light.
Like last time, the movement took place in a flash.
Where Jae-ho stood was a different place than when he came to heaven last time.
Did you break it down and build it again?’
For some reason, the strange familiarity seemed likely.
all the way
an old man who suddenly pulls Jae-ho's ear
"Why... huh?"
There was a poster in Jae-ho's eyes as he turned his head along the old man's touch.
With Jae-ho's face on it...….
“…….”
I couldn't recognize the letters written there, but I could see what they meant by their rough handwriting.
Apparently, what he did during his last visit was intense for the angels.
Can you call it intense?
Jae-ho who lightly ignores the old man's pint.
And then, not far away, he took his step to the angel rushing in.
"Well, stop!”
The four-colored angel raised his weapon and shouted.
"You're Alsia!! Why did you come to heaven again? Is it a war?!
"It's a misunderstanding. I'm visiting with due qualifications."
"Don't make me laugh! You evil apostle!"
Suck
Jae-ho extended the orgel he received from Ptimers.
"...uh?"
an angel with a momentary cognitive dissonance.
It was a natural reaction because the person who thought it was a perfect evil had the seal of being in charge of justice.
"Go, it's fake!!”
But the angel's eyes, shouting like that, knew it was real.
"Oh, what's wrong with a known angel?"
Jae-ho, who had already read that he had no intention of attacking at the end of the trembling window, became more relaxed.
More than expected, Ptimus' orgel seemed to be strong evidence.
"It was an accident, and now we're all in a good relationship, right? We're regularly delivering with the cloth."
"Turn it off..."
"We don't have to be so hostile."
He couldn't have touched Jae-ho, the exclusive producer of the angels' best health food, Chun-gwa.
"...follow me."
In the end, accepting the reality, he guided Jae-ho to Ptimers.
As I felt during my last visit, heaven was not much different from where humans lived.
Numerous angels were living in a normal society, and everyone's faces were smiling in a bright atmosphere.
a landscape literally reminiscent of heaven
But Jae-ho knew that angels were not just as happy as he thought.
They think of themselves as special beings and higher than humans, but they actually look very much like humans.….
"That's the Tower of Justice. This is where the archangel, Ptimers, is."
The place where the angel who was guiding Jaeho stopped was a huge sword-like fortress.
Kugong
When Jae-ho stood in front of him, the door, which was almost five meters long, opened by itself.
"Maybe the archangel knows you've visited, so you can go in right away."
"Oh, thank you."
"Hmph. Your kind of gratitude...….”
with a flick of one's heel
Took
The angel, whose eyes were big enough to pop out of the cloth and one that Jae-ho threw lightly, was puffed out.
"It's a thank-you note, so keep it in."
"...haha! My name is Cho Hanna! After meeting Mr. Ptimers, I'll wait here because I'll need a guide when I go back!"
With a burst of laughter, he waved Jae-ho until he disappeared into the tower of justice.
'You're just like a human or an angel.’
It was confirmed again.
* * *
A beautiful space filled with subtle rainbow-like lights.
Unlike when he came down to the Continent, Ptimers, dressed in simple clothes, sat on the throne below him.
"Have you come?"
"You live in a nice place. It's simple inside."
"The archangel must be free from material desires."
It's funny to say that every time you snuck in the nectar...….
"I'll pay you first."
Jae-ho handed over three natural fruits as promised last time.
"Hmm! But I haven't heard from you for a while. What brings you here today?"
Petimus, who takes a big bite of the nectar and replenishes the bitter power for Jae-ho.
"Do you happen to know anything about Ibius?"
the head of a mountain
Upon hearing Jae-ho's question, Ptimus, who had been at the back of justice, hardened.
