36 - The Second Meeting Is Two People

I was ready to die and come back to the city.

Funny .......

"Oh, you call that white?"

This is the second time we have encountered Val the wind god, god of freedom and adventurers. He is said to be a god who often appears in the form of a woman.

She is as beautiful as ever, but she prefers to take the form of a woman, and sometimes appears in the form of a man. Gender and age depend on his mood.

It seems that all the gods here are like that.

Come here, White.

White appears on my belly.

"You, why do you summon me under these circumstances!　It's not very subtle to be summoned before the god who sealed me, but I don't know what to look like when I'm summoned by you lying in front of him!

I'm mad.

He protests furiously as I lie on my back.

"Well, you look like you're breathing well."

I thought it would be a waste of time to talk in my sleep, so I got up, starting from the white piece I held in my stomach. This time I faced Val sitting in the air.

White feels good today.

"What can I do for you?"

I wonder if they are going to tell us about a mission or a quest in the name of a mission.

"No, I just came to see people jumping off the cliff."

"<>?"

"You jumped off without knowing it. The cliff there is called the Cliff of Trials, where people used to jump off to test the gods. Of course, we have nothing to do with it, but that's just what people say.

I turn my gaze toward the cliff, and my silver hair moves gracefully in the wind with it.

"It's an ordeal, but I remember only two people who jumped off and lived."

"What, you survived at this height?"

"...... you say?"

Val gave me a stern look, and even White, who had been curled up in a ball as if he had nothing to do with it, gave me a "what the hell is he doing?

I'm sorry, but my being saved was unforeseen. I was supposed to die in the first place.

He stroked the white as if to cover it up.

"I fell out of here and I'm alive, and then I come back to see who's the one who jumped the second time, and it's a familiar face."

I spoke to him, and he told me that he had come to see me simply out of curiosity, so how is it that you are flying twice?　He asked me with his eyes.

"No, I was originally going to go back to the city to die because I didn't want to go back to the city. I just wanted to experience the feeling of flying if I'm going to die.

When I told the truth, one pillar and one animal looked at me like I was crazy.

<.

There used to be a trial in this area, where if you were thrown into the river and floated, you were a witch, and if you sank, you were not guilty. In those days, people who worshipped paganism and brought in demons were put on trial.

Those who claimed innocence were made to jump down from a high cliff in the Narn Mountains, where the god of law, Tasha, was said to reside, as an ordeal, and were violently judged guilty if dead and innocent if alive.

Unlike the witch trials, the accused was only vindicated if he was still alive. It is believed that Tasya is there, so the one who survived is considered righteous.

In reality, it is more likely that those who are an obstacle to the powers that be in the temple, or those whose death would bring money to the temple in the name of confiscation, are suspected of paganism and pushed off a cliff as a trial. But this is a fantasy world, so maybe there really was paganism.

I can believe in God, but I can't trust the who operates it.

One of the two people who jumped off this cliff and survived was the one who became the king of the labyrinth city.

There is an anecdote about a man who jumped off the cliff with a woman suspected of being a pagan and survived the ordeal. It was Tasya who saved her.

Incidentally, the woman became the wife of Count Garlei the Knight, the first king of the Duchy of Tarkant, which embraces the Labyrinth City.

"This cliff is associated with the king of the labyrinth city. So, if a god is going to come out, it should be Tasya, right?"

No. Is it because you have the blessing that you are more likely to encounter Val?　Are you sure it's not some kind of weird marking?　I've been thinking about it.

"I'm here, too."

There's something sitting there.

A small old man.

Who is he?

I don't know... but from the way things are going...

"Tasya Kigami. Long time no see."

Is this the effect of the mystery-solver?　Once you meet God, does it set off a chain of events?

I've barely made any progress in the main storyline (if there is one).

Do we encounter gods this frequently?

No, I've met Claud too. Is the encounter rate pretty high?

"I see Val the Wind God more often than the other gods, but it's been a while."

Listening to the conversation between the two pillars, I stroke my white hair and think that the gods of this world are friendly and open-minded. Well, I'm glad that I don't have to be afraid or shy in the game world.

"I had promised Garlei that I would see to it that this place would not be used as a proving ground again. I came here to see what punishment I could inflict on those who pushed me down, but I flew of my own volition. I would have left him to die alone, but he is not dead and has the blessing of my people. I was just thinking what to do. He is a strange one. He would choose to die in order to return to the city."

No, I think a lot of players choose it. It is rare, though, that a player chooses not to die.

"Yes, flying is something that will come true in time, since you seem to have sky magic. The first time and the second time he acted for reasons beyond my control.

Oops!　I'll have to work hard on that to get the sky level up!

"...... You've even been declared an eccentric by the two gods, haven't you?"

Fluff in protest. A white face of dismay as he is made to do.

He's acting weird because he's a player!　We all do it!　...... maybe .

Perhaps it's because I met Galahad and his friends first, but I have no desire to say out loud that this is a game world or that it is only a game. If I say it out loud, I'm afraid that I'm going to get myself caught up in the game's logic and the will become just another R!G. I'm just acting out the story.

I want to enjoy this world.

Somehow the two gods started an old tale, starting with my story.

As I listened without disturbing them, I found out that Rhys, the wife of Garlei, who was to jump off the roof of the house, was being tried under false suspicion for having rejected the Viscount's son in the story. But the truth is that the Viscount has fallen into paganism and has been replaced with something else. The truth is that Reese had the ability to sense and seal something, but he was unaware of it and was cornered by the Viscount who had been replaced by the Viscount.

Thanks to Garrey's efforts, Reese was saved and his existence was successfully sealed, but it is said that the seal is beginning to show signs of fraying.

Is this a flag?

To the gods, it seems that whether or not the existence is resurrected is nothing more than idle chit-chat.

Isn't it scary to think that the inside of a person has been replaced before you know it?

The companion you laughed with yesterday is a different person with those memories.

I don't like it.

"I'm sorry, is there any way to prevent this replacement?"

I couldn't resist interrupting.

"Yes, but what are you drinking first?"

Yes, I was drinking tea, taking advantage of the fact that I was left alone to start an old story.

It's a slightly sour petal tea with a bright red color, like a blend of rose hips and Assam. I'm drinking white too, so we're equally guilty!

I remember that in another game, Peter hated it when the story was going on by itself with only N.C. and not the players, saying "I don't want to see the play.

Tascha liked the black beer and Val liked the herbal tea that made her oral cavity feel refreshed after drinking it. Tasya is drinking black beer and Val is drinking herbal tea that makes her oral cavity feel refreshed after drinking it.

We sit in a circle two meters off the ground in the air and have a tea party?　Here we are.

"You really don't have a sense of urgency, do you?

"Don't say that while wetting your chin with tea."

White had always been fond of fruit teas, but ruby berry tea was exceptional among them. He wiped his chin with his paw hurriedly.

"I don't want to find myself in a situation where I've been replaced, but is there any countermeasure, any way to reverse the replacement or takeover?"

I don't want Galahad and Ruba and others to be replaced or taken over by some event, let alone the players.

"You have the alchemy.

Tasya asks me with smoked spicy dried meat in his hand, which he was going to give to Kikuhime and Peter. I prepared a few snacks, such as fried cheese and olives wrapped in bagel dough, but Tascha seemed to like dry food.

We added dried squid and a small fish, crisped up. He looks like an old man, but his teeth are strong.

"Yeah, I haven't gotten around to it yet."

"You seem to have [Light], but not [Purification]. Hmm."

"[Purification] is a healer, right?　If I have to learn it to take action, I'll learn it now."

No, it is better to have it, but it is no problem without it. No, it's better to have it, but it doesn't matter if you don't. It's not as if there are no alternatives.

With these words, he turned his knobby, thin-fingered hand upward, and a jewel the size of the tip of his pinky finger appeared in his palm.

"This one is called a . It is rarely found in the Sea Serpent."

The < in Tascha's palm is as clear as a drop of water.

"You can also get from the Starry Hills, of , , and purification by having the user put the purification into .

He lays out the materials as he talks. In the air.

<? He writes it in his mental note.

"Mix these.

The magic circle under the materials glows and the materials are drowned out by a white light. The light fades away, and what appears is a pale blue gemstone in the shape of the from earlier.

"Is this what it looks like? This is a magic stone that prevents possession, and if you wear it, you will not attract the people I mentioned earlier. I'll give you a sample for your sake. It is not so difficult to alchemize, you may rather have a hard time to get the from the Sea Serpent. It will be easier than usual for you who have the Moon-god's blessing. If you wish to shape it for a trinket, you may do so when you have the soul stone.

The stone was dropped into his hand.

A stone of the underworld.

Rated: 10 (Divine Weapon)

Prevents possession.

The effect of the 10 rating gives it a 100% chance.

and deals reflective damage to the person it attempts to possess.

Divine weapon.

"It's a divine weapon. ......"

"Even the most trivial things are done by Tascha, the god of alchemy."

Val peeks in, amused.

"Thank you."

I won't hold back!

"Don't you want me to ask you where the Starry Hills are?"

I don't want to keep asking. I'd be happy to learn if you could, but I'm not selfless."

"I see."

Tascha nodded his head in agreement.

"From what I hear, there's still time. If it had been right in front of me, I might have cried and begged for it.

A keg of black beer and dried meat jerky for Tascha.

I also give Val a cup of herbal tea and a ruby berry tart.

"Thanks for the tea. It sounds bad that Tascha, the wood god, does it and I don't."

Val then drops a stone smaller than my fist into my hand.

I looked at it and saw that it was a stone of transition.

"Thank you."

"Unlike Tasya, the tree god, I cannot create others, but that is my domain. <

"Hmph, we're on our own."

White responds to Val's words in a curt manner.

"O changed man, receive this blessing from Tasya, the tree god.

"You are my favorite, you are your king. Be free as the wind. Know that there is no bondage or domination."

With a few brief words, Tasya vanished, and Val also vanished, leaving the words as a chant.

I got the alchemy recipe for the .

I got the alchemy recipe .

I have obtained the title [Disciple of Tasya].

I have obtained the title [Tasya's Blessing].

Wood Magic has been changed to Wood Magic.

The title [Val's Blessing] has been changed to [Val's Favor].

Sky magic has been changed to sky magic.

I have obtained the title "Time of the Gods.

Skill [Temporal Magic] has been acquired.

With the acquisition of [wood magic] and [time magic], I acquired [druidic magic].

Two things I expected .

I thought that I would be able to get the title and the magic that Klaue had if I met Tascha. I got [Temporal Magic] and [Druidic Magic] as I had expected, though not the titles.

The others were unexpected! What a favor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!　Apprentice!　Are you an apprentice?　< is a god d*mn weapon!　Please don't use divine objects for consumables: ！！！！

I want to log out for lunch, but I don't have the courage to use my sacred artifact. I said goodbye to White and eventually logged out, wrapped in a blanket with a cloaking circle painted on it.
