The Traveling Hero Won’t Let the Innkeeper’s Son Escape

In a dark room with a fallen sun, a man with red eyes sat in a chair with dark hair.

It's not the house he's in that made it look like his usual borough shop, it's his home on an island off the continent. There are piles of books all around him, and his front is decorated with a portrait of a gentle young man with green hair, just like a separate home.

It is the man who sits quietly in the chair with a difficult face - Wonok.

"Soon they'll be in the ark, or..."

Alec the brave man who had his first decent conversation the other day. Reminds me of that figure.

Ruth, the young man from the village who lives next to the borough shop, had heard of the brave man, but Wonock thought he was a man with more core than he thought. I saw some of the power in that, but only then did I feel that the man had enough power to change the status quo, what the Wonoks were looking for. With all that power, the last pillar is impeccable.

(However, it's a drawback when it comes to flaws that basic thoughts are biased against Ruth)

As Alec the Brave had spoken in person, Ruth, the young man of the village, was certain of his behavior.

"I will destroy the world, but I will live with Ruth…" Alec, the brave man when he was speaking, had amazing power gathered, even Wonok, and his source of power, the "Valiant Value", had risen from eighteen to nineteen. If you get to that level at nineteen, you can't imagine what happens when you get to twenty.

(What drives that guy that far......)

Ruth, the youth of Hashi village, is, to be honest, normal. Capabilities can also move just a little, given their age, but they still fit on an average level, and they don't have any special powers. It is so weak that it cannot be activated until it reaches magic power. If you say so, it's about changing your mind for a small village-born youth. Still, compared to a line of brave men, it would be classified as' normal '. There should be no special circumstances.

"Well, now's the time."

Brave Alec's "Ruth's Disease” didn't start right now. It's weird at a time when one person has something to do with Valor Fairness. I guess it's natural for a brave man to just think of that young man, and the power jumps funny enough. What doesn't change where I wonder.

"You're more of a Tommash guy than that. What wisdom have you given the braves…………"

Tomarsh Drovandi, a leader in magic machines, hates people more than Wonok and doesn't put people anywhere near him. I don't even use my eyes as a wonock, but I keep my artifacts around me to live. He's someone who doesn't care about people's rumors or public common sense, and even Jeremiah, the spiritual king who doesn't read that air, is a bad opponent. Wonok is not the person I want to talk to too much about because the conversation is not possible.

Such a man hates to be explored for his circumstances, and he doesn't even work with the Wonoks, he is a stranger who has lived and done something for a thousand years on his own. That's why I never thought the man would have anything to do with the brave.

(I didn't know that guy would welcome a line of brave men...... what the hell?

It would be possible for Wonok to explore what he was doing - but imitate him directly and he will get a Tommash counterattack.

I can assure you that if you compete for power in witchcraft, you will not lose, except when you become the opponent of a witchcraft machine built by Tomarsh. One ability at a time is not a big deal, but I'm not going to challenge the opponents who push me with a number of violence by cutting them in the front. He was someone I didn't really want to deal with.

The man's magic machines and artificial bodies are troublesome.

Tomarsh has a genius brain when it comes to magic machines that supported civilization a thousand years ago. Most of those Arks where the Four Gods sleep were also made of designs by Tomarsh, and none exited to his right at the time.

We are now adults because we forbade magic machines from being put on the table for some reason, but if that technology had remained in this day and age, Tomarsh would have bombarded the world more than anyone else.

(But given Tommash's personality, I'm sure he hasn't thought of any way to do something about this plan directly)

Instead of Wonok and the others knowing what Tomarsh was thinking and spending the last millennium, neither will Tomarsh know what Wonock and the others think. If you go into the ark and look for information, you won't be able to investigate because someone will soon notice. Originally, Tomarsh never expressed an interest in the Wonocks.

The brave men must somehow know the plans of the Wonoks because they purchased them from a different route.

(As you can imagine, Tomarsh must have thought of taking a completely different approach to the complete sealing of the arr during the millennium. and entrusted it to the brave men who showed up)

Wonok felt the edge of his mouth rise slightly to the phrase "a completely different way”. It shouldn't be the same way as the Wonoks because the brave men are trying to move on and implement it.

Behind Wonok's brain, a mediocre young man laughs with a brave man. That alone made me feel my chest increase for some reason when they said that the method they had knitted for a long time might end without being used.

(Now, what happens……)

A line of brave men will likely defeat Gio and confront Wonok. I have no intention of losing my hand, but Wonok doesn't even know if I can beat the brave man who carried the future with Ruth. One end of the power that I showed at that time felt slightly dangerous even in Wonok.

"Almost... Fance"

Wonok looks up at the portrait in front of him.

Although I still remember clearly the face of a young man smiling softly, I still want to see the real thing. I always felt my cold chest warm when I thought that might also come true in just a few moments.

"………………… at a time like this."

As Wonok quietly stared at the portrait of Fance, he noticed a small sign approaching disturbing that sacred time.

"- You didn't help me this time, you care, Ruth, even though you fit the hard eye."

"Yeremias......"

It was Jeremiah, king of spirits, who bound spirits and spiritual tribes, who appeared in the room.

Abandoning his usual divine appearance, he appeared with bossy hair and a little dirty man style that produced an inert mustache. I mean, he snuck in until he cheated on the escort. I guess I have some important business to attend to.

Understanding that, Wonok decided he had no choice but to have a conversation.

"What about you?

"I might have given you a hand if I was supposed to suck more than that. You're Edvard's precious child.... but it was the artifact that came out, wasn't it? You didn't want to get involved with your grandfather. I haven't had a better horse than you for a long time."

Even Wonok and Geo, who are said to be difficult to get close to, are better off that Jeremiah, who storms without worrying about the convenience of the opponent, is' horses don't fit '.

But the fact is Tommash's wife left as soon as she had a child, and even her blood-born son is still twisted a thousand years later. Tomarsh has always been that kind of guy.

"Well, I'm sure you weren't that close - so, what, that basement guy?

Wonok, pulling in his usual hellish smile, pointed to Wonok's separate mansion - the stuff he seals in the underground facility of the Boro residence in Hashi village.

"It's the end of what I picked up. I'm trying to regenerate it now, but the degradation is accelerating. That would be difficult......"

"Play to pick up? Did you have that much love? You did?

What Wonok cared about was not the end of his accustomed self. I mean the young man who had visited the house many times, concerned about how things were going. From before him, I was somewhat hesitant to erase my pickup. But that would be difficult.

Of course I'm not going to say that to Jeremias, so I told him just one more reason.

'Cause I was a little concerned.'

"What do you care?

"The body is following a path of deterioration… but the personality that should have disappeared once is only slightly regenerating"

"... what is it. Why not?"

"I don't know. However, it doesn't last either way anymore. I can't even move it right now."

I wish I could kill him lightly, because he has given some of Wonok's powers, or because he has a high regenerative ability and attacks, he increases his vitality the other way around. or so, unless something happens, it is obvious that there is not enough power left to undo it. It was Wonok's decision that it would be better to leave it as it is and let it die naturally, without suffering from that either.

"I don't care about me. What are you doing here more than that? You're not here to ask me that, are you?

I don't think Jeremiah came to Wonok concerned about his dying existence. I have other business to attend to.

"Ah - I didn't tell Geo... I'm sorry, but I've been away from the ark for a while. Call me if you need me."

"What's the meaning of this?"

"Yeah, of course. You know this is the important time, right? I know... I have a weird feeling."

"Weird hunch?

Yeremias becomes a mouthful that he says is hard to put into words.

"This time the brave man... the timing is really good or too good... something"

In vague terms, Wonok reveals irritating air. I didn't like these things about Jeremias.

"What is it? Clearly."

"Mm-hmm. If the brave guys hadn't had that much power, we'd have had to think of other ways, wouldn't we?

The way Wonok and the others did it - it used Alec's tremendous power as a human pillar today, strengthened the seal, and allowed him to hold it until the completion of the technique he was making. If only that technique could have been completed, it would have been possible to seal the array completely so that it could never be on the table again.

"If the brave Alec only had the same power as the historical brave, you would have asked Grandpa Tomarsh to improve the ark itself, wouldn't you?

"That old fool doesn't listen to us. It's all about my son all the time. And even if it does, the ark itself is close to its limit, and it can't be improved."

"Right? That's why I thought it was a good time. The emergence of brave men and their power."

The emergence of the brave is not something that Wonok and the others are doing about it. People who believe in the Four Gods may think Aristotle is empowering the brave, but all she can do is look for someone with the title of brave.

Although she continues to be a human pillar and use her magic powers for sealing, she is less burdensome than the other three. But for that matter, I put my consciousness on the atmosphere and use it to see how the world is doing. She didn't have such great abilities, but she became a pillar, so she was able to do it. So they teach people who combine the qualities of the brave, they perceive the emergence of the melting demon and they talk to people as a sacred person.

"What are you trying to say?

"You've had it before. Not just a little, but the existence that people have long and painfully sought really shows up."

More than a thousand years ago it was a terrible world where wars ensued, people were exhausted, populations were dwindling, land was rough, food was gone, usurped blood was shed. But that's when I did it.

"- Artificial life form Zagris"

"To me, to you, to Geo, to Tomarsh, to the Queen, and to many other wise men, who narrowed their wisdom and created a special being that" does not belong to any race ”. It was a miracle in time that it was possible to do that. If we were a little behind on completion, mankind could have been out of breath with its own hands."

Thanks to Zagres, the people who were hanging out with each other start pointing in the same direction. Those who were revolting at first also eventually began to acknowledge the existence of their Zagres when the world began to do well.

Step by step, the circle grew larger, and technology developed at an incredible speed with people joining hands, making the world richer. Technologies like Ark and Gilmore were born in those days.

The whole world begins to believe in one existence. It's like...

"If I ended up there, everything would have been a happy ending. If that doesn't happen."

"……… stop talking about it."

"Um, sorry... but, you know, it's exactly the right time, and it feels like" God's servitude. ”Zagres and the mightiest brave men."

“The servant of God." - Wonok slipped his face in the words and deliberately struck his tongue.

"Since when do you believe in God?

"I don't believe anything else. But coincidentally, the timing is good, so don't be too good. When you feel something like that, people think something's working."

"…… Not your opinion, is it?

"Edvard did. I've been doing a lot of research on God lately... and I heard that someone I used to talk to made that conversation better. It's going to disappear, and you're such a weird kid. Leave me alone. Should I not have let you get involved too much?

Yeremias has changed a little lately. Back in the day, you'd have laughed with your nose even if someone else had said that. Probably all because of my son. It's kind of cute.

"If the birth of Zagris is an extraction of the one called God, is the subsequent despair also weighed by God and the others? You said you were willing to uproot the people you saved with your own hands?

"Oh, yeah... well, no."

"It's both what people did. The one called God didn't do it. … it's our responsibility"

"Well, right. It's too convenient to blame God."

Neither the four gods that are spreading to people, nor the Genesis God that is spreading only marginally because the world lacks stability, are gods made in the hands of men, not real.

If God were really there, he would surely just be looking down from a far-off realm that even Wonok and the others wouldn't understand. It shouldn't be strange not only to help “people” who are only one type of organism, but to have something convenient happen to animals and that's what demons and melting demons are.

"There can't be anything like that."

"That's right. But after I heard about Edvard, I had a bad feeling."

Jeremias made a jokingly mild laugh, but his expression remained cloudy. I still have my doubts when I hear Wonock's words.

"Later, I've heard some nasty things lately."

"What?

"It's about you, so I'm sure you haven't noticed me being distracted by the fans, the brave line, the ark, but Alice hasn't been communicating in a long time,"

"Alice?

Alice - Goddess Aristotle Theresia has been communicating with the Church of the Kingdom of Deodart ever since she became a human pillar. He kept seeing the presence of the brave, the outburst of demons, the presence of the melting demons, the great changes in the atmosphere, and giving advice for the people who live in the present. It had always become a revelation from God and a flying, special thing that only highly magical Sestian clerics could hear.

"According to the kid who's letting me dive into church, I haven't had a word with you in nearly six months. They usually had voices at least once a month. They say a senior cleric has a blue face and prays every day."

"Six months......"

Six months ago, Ruth broke into the ark. It was an accident that Ruth went deep at that time, but she must not have had any major contact with Aristotle. That shouldn't be the cause.

"I wonder if you're okay, Alice. She seemed mentally weak compared to the other kids."

"Alice spoke from herself. If you don't like it. You can stop. The lack of communication right now is probably why."

Wonok and the others don't remember forcing Aristotle to play that role. It was only because it became a pillar that Aristotle, who was able to use some of Zagres' abilities, was unable to shut up knowing that a disaster would happen and spoke to people.

"Well, I hope there's nothing. … I just heard something weird at last."

"Weird story?

"Ruth, there's a church priest at your place, right? He was originally the most senior cleric in the capital, and he was communicating with Alice."

"I know that."

It is a magic that is not much from the point of view of Wonok and the rest of them, even though he is a man with no particular characteristics, but he admits it in the sense that he did not drown the brave man without his parents in his own strength and raised him upright.

"Yes. But you know this? When Alice and her priest were communicating, there were so many announcements."

"Isn't it the first of the month?

"Not quite. Once every two days, if he was bad, it seemed that every day the priest was called by Alice and caged in a place of communication. It's been going on for five years."

"…… That's a lot. Was there so much disaster?"

"No, not at all. On the contrary, it seems that the only record he has left is a conversation with Alice that has no deflection either:" What flowers are blooming now? "or" Tomorrow is the parade day for the king's capital. ""

"…… that's odd."

"True… it's like a first date for a couple."

Wonok turned his gaze quietly to Jeremiah's words.

"What are you trying to say?

"I'm kidding. After that, the priest came to Hashi village and didn't seem to be communicating with Alice at all.... It's just that for a while after the priest went to Hashi village, he interrupted his correspondence with Alice and a senior cleric panicked, just like now. Well, that's when I got back to normal in a few months, so I don't think the report came up over here."

Yeremias only had a hella of laughter on his face, but only his eyes had a serious color.

Wonok looks equally serious and stares back in silence.

"... so I don't have a bad feeling about it. So, whatever happens, I'll just watch from a little distance. If you need a hand, you can call me. I left the inside to you."

"……… OK, I'll say it appropriately to Geo"

"Nice to meet you."

When Jeremias said so, he left.

Wonok sighs small as his noisy presence disappears.

"I don't have a bad feeling about it."

(Or that guy...)

He's a more trustworthy man than Wonok or Geo for good luck. Even a thousand years ago, it was that man who evacuated the spirits as soon as possible before the panic broke out.

That 'unpleasant feeling' of Jeremias must be the same as what Wonok is feeling.

(But I don't know what it is... there must be something that we don't understand and are anxious about -)

- Who is that title for? -

Unexpectedly, a question from Ruth came to Wonock's mind.

"Who holds the fate of the brave"

"The One Who Fulfills the Wish of the Stars"

I don't know who put it on, or what it's attached to it for - words the Wonoks can only see, words they really don't understand.

(Don't... there's nothing like that. That's just a title)

Because we have lived for a long time, we know that “God” exists only in the consciousness of men. I have days that are not peaceful enough to be swung around believing that.

In the first place, if Wonok says something about 'remembering a strange hunch' to others, they must question their sanity. Because Wonok is not the type to say those things.

(Hmm, wait... Speaking of which... that Zagres has a title, too, but that's for sure -)

A long time ago, Wonok remembered the title that loosened its opponent's power when it was sealed and could only be seen for a moment. Too much has happened since then, something forgotten on the other side of my memory.

"………" The One Who Fulfills the Wish of the Stars ""

In spite of what was once wanted and born, Zagris eventually tried to destroy mankind and was deeply sealed in the ground by the Wonoks. Its existence bore the same title as the brave -.
