: the owner of the vacancy (3)
savior of mankind.
Simon has been waiting for its existence for a long time.
The horrific human condition.
Ordinary people were not aware of this. There was no reason to know, and no way to know.
Because the continent was a wide world to them, and they "misunderstood" that they enjoyed as much as they were wide.
Most of all, it was censored.
Even Simon can't say he knows a lot, but humans have territory, life, freedom!
I couldn't enjoy many things.
Part of the territory in the name of prohibition, part of life in the name of faith, part of freedom because of weakness.
All of which made a mighty race to make mankind like a caged beast.
It is now taken for granted and no one notices. Only Simon himself and a few other humans noticed.
Even that, he couldn't do anything because he was watching the mighty races.
"It's a damn world! Why humans, humans! Do I have to live with oppression? The weak and strong diet is the law of nature. However, mankind was not culled because of the weak meat diet! Humanity was strong. One by one, the truth is being revealed! Then, why did mankind become so weak?"
Simon screamed with blood in his eyes.
"Because they fear humans. human potential! Because I am afraid of human limitations!"
Humans are weak.
If so, why are you weak?
Is it the limit of a short-lived race?
no.
This is because powerful races have stolen their power from humans. We do not know how it was stolen, but humans achieve so much in their short life.
Dragons are said to live ten thousand years, and high elves live half that.
However, the speed at which humans learn magic is overwhelmingly faster than the speed at which the two races learn magic.
Both races are powerful simply because they live long.
If humans can live that much, humans are the strongest race.
And 10 years ago, the evidence appeared in secret.
exorbitant Yes, it was a huge coincidence."
Ten years ago, the 'day break' project was implemented.
The purpose of the complete exploration of Capri Cave, one of the six prohibitions, was carried out in secret in the Kingdom of Koche.
An expedition team was formed, consisting of one sword master, one archmage, and twenty special rangers to assist them.
They made thorough preparations and started exploring the Caves of Capri.
In conclusion, as with other banned explorations, the results were disastrous.
The Archmage and 18 rangers were killed, and only the Sword Master and the Ranger were fortunately revived.
Nevertheless, the Ranger died shortly after escaping, and the Sword Master was severely damaged by the blood and could no longer hold the sword.
But it was not without results.
"On that day, Sword Master Sir Heryl returned with an object, and we called it this way."
Simon said with his eyes tight.
"Ark Factory. It is the storage of Ark, the mighty battleship of mankind that presumably existed before the present civilization."
Jamie's eyes trembled.
'Ark... ?'
You'll hear that name here.
'Is that left?'
It was unbelievable.
Because 'Ark' was an aerial battleship that Diablo Volfir used in the war against the 12 gods with his companions before he became a warlock.
And the Ark was destroyed during the Fourth War, which set Diablo Volfir on a path of darkness.
Simon continued.
"Unfortunately, the Arc Factory did not contain power. However, many records were found. The overwhelming difference that human technology cannot even dare to come up with, the countless abilities that could not have been achieved if humans were not strong! That was proof that humans were stronger than dragons, high elves, and Ran. And Jamie Wellton."
Simon looked straight at Jamie and said.
"You are the second coming of mankind at that time. Despite your overwhelming talent, your unfamiliar black mana... . It is in a completely different realm than that of modern warlocks."
" ."
"It must have been the power of that time. I don't know why it has such power... ."
"Count Simon."
Jamie interrupted Simon.
Simon looked at Jamie without saying a word, as if to say something.
"First, your guess was somewhat correct."
Jamie's tone changed slightly.
When talking with Siegfried earlier, there was a little bit of a childish side, but now he has a slightly arrogant tone.
"Humanity, yes. It once ruled this continent."
Also!!
"But not the owner."
"I expected it. What a great war there must have been! Ark must have been the battleship used there."
Yes. It was a weapon of desecration to intercept the gods, created by me and those who were my companions."
" A weapon of destruction?"
"I don't know where they overheard our conversation, but I'll start again with my introduction."
Jamie said with a troubled look on her face.
"I am Diablo Volfir. He was the former commander of the Human Liberation Army, and in the end, he is the man who invented black magic to kill the 12 gods by staying alone.
* * *
" left alone? Before that, it was the Human Liberation Army... What were you trying to free yourself from?"
Simon doubted my ears.
annihilation weapon.
destroying God. In other words, the arc meant a weapon that killed the gods.
I knew that the 12 gods were involved in the current situation of humans, but there was a force that tried to directly kill the 12 gods.
No, more shocking than that is-
"Jamie, you said you were the head of the Human Liberation Army? What else is the name of Diablo Volfir?"
"I don't want to repeat the same story."
Saying so, Jamie pulled out a thread of memory and shoved it into Simon's head.
Simon trembled as if in a trembling sense, then his legs lost strength and he sat down.
He looked up at Jamie, wiping the flowing saliva.
A being with black hair and purple eyes was looking down at him.
"Wow!"
Simon covered his mouth and coughed.
He frowned at the pain in his throat.
Is the memory you just saw true?
That formidable sight and despairing world... Did it really happen in the past?
Then, the boy sitting on that bed right now... .
'Rebirth.'
Simon clenched his trembling hands and stood up.
Then his vision widened, and Diablo Volfir's illusion was lifted and Jamie Welton appeared.
Yes.
This is the reality.
Humans are the slaves of the 12 gods and livestock.
That damn fact was confirmed 66673 years ago.
A great warlock had once again arrived in a world where there was no answer.
Simon couldn't say anything.
He stared at Jamie, and then acted astonishingly.
"Elder!"
Siegfried jumped up.
Simon looked at Jamie and knelt down on one knee.
Jamie looked at Simon with half-sinked eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Simon raised his head to meet Jamie's question.
and said
"I see the King of mankind."
" Count."
"You were not like the savior of men. Taking the lead above anyone else, even at the moment when you were alone, only you were there for humanity. You, who fought fiercely and died horribly, thought of humans until that moment. So you are the king of mankind. That Richter Simon swears allegiance to you from now on. I will follow you along the thorny path. for humans."
Jamie let out a low sigh.
I had a rough idea of how Simon would react when the truth was revealed, but I didn't expect it to come out this much.
If Jamie was the same, Siegfried, who was watching from the side, was stunned.
"The Count."
"Please feel free to call me by name."
"I don't want that kind of relationship."
" One."
"I am not a king."
Jamie got out of bed and walked towards Simon.
It felt like his whole body was about to collapse, but he didn't show it, he lowered his head to meet Simon's gaze.
"Lend me your strength."
However ."
"The Count. I've been through a lot of that kind of relationship. I've never had a good ending. This time I'm going to try a different way. So please feel free to call me."
" Jamie."
"That is enough. The same goes for Elder Siegfried. Lend me your strength."
Sigh.
Siegfried sighed.
To be honest, I didn't understand even half of the conversations so far. Although he was an archmage, he was an outsider.
It's a lie to say you didn't know.
He also traveled the world and saw and heard many things.
But the secrets of the world and Jamie's identity were enough to shock him.
Siegfried said looking up at the ceiling.
"By the way, the seat of the 3rd elder is vacant."
"Elder?"
"As soon as he gets well, Confucius will rise to the rank of elder. It seems that Confucius loses too much of the modifier of first."
Siegfried smiled and looked at Jamie.
"I wish you all the best in the future, as a co-worker."
Jamie smiled at that and nodded.
"Thank you."
"Elder Simon, let's get along now. Like it or not, it was like that, right?"
"Fufu. I didn't know I'd be in a boat with you, who always went out.
"I wanted to live like that for the rest of my life."
The two elders looked at each other and chuckled.
Jamie stood up looking at the two of them.
"ね."
"Ts. It was too much."
Siegfried grabbed Jamie and gently laid her on the bed.
Jamie asked Simon as he laid him down on the bed.
"By the way, didn't you say earlier that there is someone you want to introduce to us?"
okay. They are with me."
"I'm going to ask you, are you a frontier?"
The first organization that came to mind as soon as I heard Simon's story was Frontier.
They knew at least a piece of Diablo Volfir, and even made a deal with Behemoth.
He must have known a lot more than that.
It was already an organization that had access to many secrets.
no.
But Simon's answer was unexpected.
"We are different from Frontier. They are a multi-ethnic group. They are terrorist-oriented, even vague what their goals are in the first place."
Come to think of it, I remembered what Siegfried said in Saint-Dermain.
It is said that Frontier is supporting the Harmonia Liberation Army.
In other words, it meant that they were helping the forces trying to overthrow a country.
Simon continued.
"Unlike Frontier, we act with a focus on the future of mankind and the secrets of the world, and if it is difficult to say, we can say that it is a secret society."
"The members of the organization ."
"You will know when you meet him in person."
Simon said with a smile.
Jamie smiled and nodded.
'There is a lot of time.'
Whatever it is, recovery comes first.
"The kids are waiting downstairs."
kids?
"Your disciples."
Anne and Lennon.
Come to think of it, I couldn't even do a proper first class, and this happened.
"Call me here."
I didn't want to see my disciples like this, but it wasn't very good not to see them until they were all well.
* * *
Anne and Lennon sprinted through the door of the hospital room.
""Master!""
The children approached Jamie with weeping faces.
Simon and Siegfried decided to leave the three of them alone and left the room.
Jamie greeted the two with a wink, then raised a hand laboriously, stroking their heads one by one.
I'm fine.
"Are you really okay?"
"I thought I was going to die ???? ."
Anne cared adultly, but Lennon was squeezing tears and snot out of proportion.
At the unexpected appearance, Jamie closed her eyes and laughed.
"Pu ha ha Cuckoo!"
It was hard to move, so it felt like his body was being torn apart just by smiling.
Thanks to this, the two children were startled and chanted and called Jamie.
Fortunately, Jamie calmed down and broke into a cold sweat.
"I almost died laughing."
" So who do you laugh at when you see someone cry?"
"Thanks for coming, both of you."
"As a disciple, of course you have to come."
It was nothing. swish-"
Lennon rubbed his bare nose to make sure he didn't stop crying.
Jamie chuckled.
Although they still don't know each other very well, the relationship between the two of them seemed to make sense when they got sick like this.
"Let's do well in the future."
"Thank you again!"
" Take good care of me.
And three months passed.
