Chapter 35: Adaptation (4)

" ."

Why? what?

Jamie raised her eyes as she looked at Beiros, who was sitting opposite her with a fat face.

Beiros said with a dissatisfied face.

"Why did you come to the library?"

Currently, the two are at the library in Seol-Yeok's Castle.

What people misunderstand is that demons are a reckless race that only engages in violence.

It's not wrong.

This is because in order to survive in the world of self-defense, we have to trample on others somehow.

However, in order to become strong, it is not enough just to be strong.

In fact, there are demons who obtained titles only by force, but they are eventually culled.

It was because there were strong demons who could use their knowledge.

In fact, it is difficult to find low-intelligence individuals among high-ranking demons.

That is why demons try to acquire knowledge somehow.

The existence of such a large library was proof of that.

And Beiros was a hot-blooded and stupid guy, but he was an excellent demon that was called a demon.

"What do you need the most to adapt to the Demon Realm?"

When Jamie asked a student like a teacher asking a question, Beiros answered with a slightly uncomfortable expression on his face.

" Are you sure you want me to teach you history?"

"It's also magical. I thought I was being rude, but I'm glad it wasn't.

If you're going to give a compliment, you're only going to give it a compliment.

Jamie continued.

"I don't know anything about the Demon Realm. The culture, language, and history of this place. You can communicate naturally even now by using the language and interpretation magic, and as for culture, you demons fight like crazy, so there is no such thing as a proper culture. But history is different."

If you want to know the world of Demon Eggs properly, it is right to understand the long history of this place.

"I'm not asking you to tell me everything from the creation of the world to the present, but tell me the current structure of the demon world, the state of the world, and when the time axis started to be twisted and why."

Hmm . History is not my specialty."

Beiros scratched his forehead and looked through the books he had pulled out.

All of them were so thick that I didn't want to see them, but there were dozens of them.

He said as if grumbling at the amount that only sighed.

"Then why do you fold? May I ask your Majesty?"

"If you give me a tea you don't want to do, won't I want to slap you on the top of your head?"

As Jamie pulled out the Beyond Avalon again and tried to wield it, Beiros instinctively took a defensive stance.

"Well, if it's not your Majesty, wouldn't you be able to tell us more easily?"

Jamie, who had stopped trying to make a big lump on the top of his head, replied with a smirk.

"I don't want to bother you."

Yes?

"Shut up and start explaining!"

"Ok!"

Beiros, who was hit hard, frowned and opened a book.

Jamie looked at him and sighed inwardly.

'I can't become the owner and keep relying on my subordinates.'

He already owed a lot to Trika, and he showed a lot of weakness as a master.

I didn't want to show that to my subordinates anymore.

As the owner, my self-esteem is hurt.

I didn't intend to suck blood like a mosquito, even though I couldn't stay strong.

"Anyway, let's get started."

That is how the study of history began.

* * *

"It would be better to start with the case where the time axis was twisted."

Beiros quickly skimmed through a few thick books, decided what he was going to say first, and then put it all together in his head.

"The first thing we need to point out is that the time axes of the demon world and the human world were not twisted from the beginning to the current level."

"Isn't there a day in a minute?"

Yes. That's how much it increased. At first, the difference was in seconds. It's been rampant and it's the same as it is now."

In other words, the time axis was shifted due to an event, and as it began to unfold, it began to widen to a nonsensical level of one day per minute.

What the hell was that case?

Beiros' explanation continued.

"It was the beginning of the Great War, also known as the 'Acroba Incident'."

Acroba Incident.

One day, a huge dimension stone fell through the sky of the demon realm.

Its location was a plain named 'Acroba', and the demon lords who ruled the demon realm waged a huge war to obtain it.

"As for the result, no one has ever obtained that Dimension Stone."

"Isn't there a winner?"

no. The war wasn't over in the first place. It is because one day, the dimension stone was suddenly sucked into the depths of the underworld and fused with the core of the underworld."

The core of the Demon Realm could be said to be the true dimension stone, the mother of the dimension stones protruding sharply from the ground.

Jamie let out a bewildered voice.

" to?

"You might think it's absurd, but it actually happened. It was then that the time axis of the Demon Realm became strange."

From one day on, time began to flow strangely.

Naturally, there were people who observed multidimensionality in the Demon World, so it was easy to notice the change.

A timeline that seems to be accelerating compared to other dimensions.

In this unprecedented situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are ruling the current demon realm, and the five great demon lords have gathered.

The 5th Demon King struggled to find the answer for a very long time.

That was the only time of peace in the Demon Realm where no large or small wars took place.

But that didn't change the situation when they got together.

As a single individual, he was the 5th Demon King with strength that surpassed even the 12 gods, but he could not do anything about the core of the dimension to which they belong.

They decided that there was no way right away, and eventually gave up.

As such, the time line began to grow continuously, and a thousand years had passed since the time of the demon realm.

"Is that only over?"

Right now, one day per minute easily exceeds a thousand years in a year.

But now only a thousand years?

Beiros replied.

"Originally, I know that 1 second was only about two or three seconds. If I had to say the time axis difference, it was a difference of a day or two. However, I heard that several anomalies occurred and the time axis accelerated. I've heard that the last one in particular is relatively recent."

"Anomaly?"

"I don't know that either. It's not an area I'm really interested in, I just listened to it.

"Then how many years ago was it in human time when the first incident started?"

"Ugh. You should ask the archivist for that."

Since he didn't check until the specific time, it was unknown information unless he was a dimensional observation recorder who specialized in research on it.

"What is certain is that it will continue to be long in the future. compared to other dimensions."

Even now, the demon lords are struggling to solve this problem, but it doesn't seem like a problem that will be solved easily.

"Well, I don't know if a being powerful enough to interfere with the dimensional nucleus is born again."

Right. How do I meet the archiver?"

"Would you like to see me?"

"I'm curious. do you know It may have something to do with the human world."

Well ."

Jamie tilted his head when Beiros gave him a tee he didn't like.

"What is the disgruntled face? Do you want to die?"

"Oh, that's not it. ha . According to the investigators, it has been confirmed that there is no significant change in the human world, but even if you say this, you will see it."

"If you know, go ahead."

"Wow."

Beiros made a sound of pain and got up from his seat.

"Follow me."

* * *

The two left the Demon King and headed to the summit of Mount Blade, the highest in the vicinity.

It was a huge mountain with an elevation of over 10,000 meters above sea level, but it was nothing to the two of them.

A large windmill was spinning at the top of Mt. Blade, and various mechanical devices were connected and operating around it.

Among them, a blue-skinned demon wearing a white robe that would be worn by humans was alternately looking at the paper and mechanical devices and fiddling with them.

Beiros called the demon's name.

"Hey, Henos!"

A demon called Henos continued to focus on what he had not heard.

Beiros muttered with an annoyed face.

"Anyway, the investigators cubs are the demon nobles who are funny."

He stood up to himself, grabbed Henos' head and swung it towards him.

Well?

If it was like everyone else, it wouldn't be strange if his body twisted and died, but Henos opened his eyes and found Beiros and opened his mouth.

"What are you doing here, Count?"

Henos, who was still intact even though his neck was turned around 180 degrees, greeted him as if he had met a familiar person.

Long time no see. how are you?

" None of it went well."

"That's right. So why did you come?"

Saying that, Henos naturally turned his body to the position of his head.

Beiros only sighed.

This attitude made Jamie reluctant to go see the investigator in front of him.

He didn't like the investigators very much.

Investigators are a different kind, but it is because they are almost unconstrained by the laws of the Demon Realm and do not care about the worldly things.

They don't even know what happened a while ago.

It brought considerable humiliation to the powerful in the Demon Realm.

Even if it wasn't intentional.

"Someone wants to meet you."

"Who are you?"

As Beiros pointed backwards, Henos poked his head to the side and looked at Jamie.

" human?

"He is the favored man of His Majesty. If there is anything you can tell me, do it if you can."

"Your Majesty? Hmm. He looks like a pretty strong human."

"Let me hide my words. This is Jamie Welton."

Henos tilted his head as he looked at Beiros, who used his nicknames for humans.

As he knew, Beiros was always arrogant and arrogant even for those in higher ranks.

But he's not even a demon king, and he only shows such a sloppy attitude towards humans.

Knowing that he was never that kind of person, he felt very awkward now.

Henos asked, squinting one eye.

"Did you catch any weaknesses?"

"Shut up! Anyway, so I can answer honestly. Otherwise I... ."

"Are you Beiros?"

no.

It looked like he had something he wanted to say, but Beiros couldn't stop saying it and turned around.

Henos just shrugged at his strange appearance.

Beiros approached the human and said something, and the human nodded and approached him.

"Nice to meet you, Jamie Welton."

Well . nice to meet you.

First of all, Beiros' attitude, as well as the fact that he was favored by the Demon King, Henos raised his words for the first time.

"Is there anything I need to see?"

okay. It's not a big deal, can we find out how many years ago the Acroba incident started in the human world? I said Beiros would know if he was an investigator."

Henos got a little startled when the Acroba incident was mentioned out of the blue.

It was a little surprising that humans showed interest in a major event in the Demon Realm.

It wasn't something he couldn't say, so Henos asked him for his forgiveness for a while.

"I'll do some calculations."

Henos closed his eyes and licked his lips and began to calculate something.

Jamie looked at him and was a little surprised.

'Are you counting how many years ago by mental arithmetic?'

This was a tremendous level of computational power that even an Archmage could not achieve.

Henos, who finished the calculation in an instant, said:

"By human standards, 13 years and 84 days ago."

" 13 years?"

Yes. 13 years. A dimension stone from another world appeared through the sky of the demon world 13 years ago in human time."

13 years ago.

That was the year Jamie was reborn into the Welton family.
