: Omniscient (4)
'Come here.'
It was an unfamiliar voice.
Jamie was in the water, and strangely, he could breathe.
The water had no end in sight.
It wasn't dark though.
It is said that the deep sea is darkness where no light enters, but it seems that light is flowing in from somewhere.
I didn't really know where it was.
'Come here.'
The voice was heard again.
Jamie swam slowly.
Slowly, I surrendered to the sensation of moving forward.
Turns out, there were no fish here. No common aquatic weeds were seen.
an empty place
Jamie knew a place similar to this place.
It was in the dark where there was no light, no water, and nothing to see.
A place like hell where neither hands, feet, nor eyelids moved.
There, Jamie and Diablo spent an innumerable time in solitude.
Compared to there, this place was a happy place. At least there is light, and the limbs do not move.
'I want to see you.'
The voice is coming closer.
Jamie stopped swimming.
'Why stop?'
And looked up at the sky.
There is still no end in sight, but this is not a dark space that restricts freedom.
I slowly raised my hand.
'Come here.'
repeated voice.
Jamie spread out her palms and said.
"Don't look. annoying."
clenched fist
A light erupted from within and engulfed the water-filled space.
* * *
Jamie opened her eyes and stared at the dark ceiling.
dream?
It is a vivid sensation to be a dream.
I got up and sat down on the bed.
When I made a light in the dark room to illuminate the surroundings, I frowned at the sight of the open room.
Because the floor was wet with water.
" Wasn't it a dream?
To be precise, someone intervened in his dream.
"What the fuck are you doing?"
A man who suddenly broke into his dreams and made reality chaotic.
Usually, the race that invades dreams is about the level of dreamers from the demon realm.
Dreams are people who come into dreams while humans are sleeping and suck the spirit of the target.
Jamie had experienced it a few times in her previous life.
At that time, all the dreamers were made to neither die nor live.
However, the person who had just entered his dream was not a dreamer. It wasn't the dreamer's way, and I didn't feel any discomfort.
Then, I found an object lying in a corner.
" Crown?
The crown faded and then disappeared into the water.
"Cube of batteries?"
Jamie frowned.
* * *
It has been a week since I returned from the capital, Fibre.
Jamie, who was appointed Master, was easily moved to the vacant position of Third Elder.
Because it was a natural result, no one was betting on anything else.
Rather, the title of the youngest was given again, so only nicknames increased.
1 Elder Oppen Ginger went into hermitage.
He took on part of the sins of the former three elders, Serpent Gerol. He did not know when he would return, so the rest of the elders divided the duties he had assigned.
Because Offen was the de facto general manager of the magic world, his workload was enormous. Right now, he was also the general manager of the central tower, so the elders were in a slightly disturbed state.
"He was a man with monstrous powers in one way or another."
5 Elder Luke frowned as he looked at Offen's work list.
"Contrary to his unpleasant personality, he was a man with a greater sense of responsibility than anyone else."
Fourth Elder Raymon had known Oppene for a long time, so he knew very well what kind of person he was.
They broke up because they didn't agree, but admitted that Oppen was a great person.
The same was true of the second elder, Linmer.
"We will be very busy. Especially, elders who used to play around, take this opportunity to learn something."
Linmer looked at Siegfried and Simon.
Siegfried was a wanderer, so he spent more time wandering outside than in the magical realm.
So I didn't really know how the whole magic world worked. Recently, he entered the central horse tower and started working in earnest, but he was still inexperienced.
Simon was not interested in anything other than his own magical growth. However, now that the seat of the first elder has been vacant for a while, he also had to share the work to some extent.
second No. Should I call him the third elder now?"
Linmer smiled and looked at Jamie, who was sitting right next to him.
Jamie's presence was so heterogeneous in the elders' meeting room that there was a cognitive dissonance to be present.
This is because the office of elder is seldom held by a young person.
Siegfried was in his mid-twenties when he was the youngest to receive the title of elder.
But, Jamie is only eight years old.
If it wasn't heterogeneous, that was weird.
In fact, the elders unfamiliar with Jamie found this space awkward.
Jamie said.
"Call me comfortably."
"Still, since we are in an equal position, it would be right to be at least formal. The three elders must also learn their duties as elders in the future."
Okay.
"The magical world is no ordinary city. I won't say too much, since the 3rd elders know it too. Please feel responsible and act accordingly."
Linmer said so and looked again at Siegfried and Simon.
Simon kept his indifferent face, and Siegfried turned his head away, coughing in vain.
"I think the conversation is roughly settled."
Luke got up from his seat with a characteristic smile.
"Do you have anything to say?"
When Adelhard looked up at Luke and asked, Luke nodded and said.
"When will the three elders use the battery coffin?"
At that question, all the elders looked at Jamie in unison.
battery tube.
It has been a week since she returned to the realm of magic, but Jamie has not yet requested the coffin of the battery.
Even if it was the first day, the elders who thought they would come right away on the second day were puzzled.
Despite everyone's gaze, Jamie responded with a calm expression on her face.
"Anyway, I was going to ask you now."
"Is there a reason you didn't ask for it before then?"
"Yeah, what."
Jamie recalled a dream she had had the past week.
The guy constantly shows up when he goes to bed, telling him to come here, and he keeps saying things he doesn't understand.
Each time, Jamie was forced to wake up.
Something felt bad.
Aside from the fact that the room gets lively every day, isn't it cheeky?
Who keeps telling me to come and go?
Jamie was the person who wanted to wear the crown of batteries more than anyone. But the reason for holding on for a week was simple.
'The ignorant bastard. Take a ride.'
For some reason, the coffin of the battery wanted herself.
The desperate one must be in an urgent situation, so Jamie was only enjoying the situation.
And since yesterday, my dream has changed a bit.
-please please.
The coercive guy started begging from yesterday.
Jamie almost burst out laughing, but in front of the elders, she brazenly maintained her expression.
"You can use the battery tube right away if you want."
One of the elders, the archmage, looked at Jamie with anticipation.
I heard that each of the wizards using the battery tube showed a different reaction.
Because everyone wants different things.
Conversely, it was an opportunity to share new knowledge among the wizards who had used the battery's crown.
In addition, the birth of an archmage was rare, so the use of a battery tube was very rare.
It was only natural for the elders to see Jamie with anticipation.
"Please prepare."
The voice he had been waiting for.
Actually, I wasn't sure that the voice was the coffin of the battery.
On the first night, he could only guess by looking at the crown he had seen in a corner.
Because there is no way the Crown will be alive in the first place.
However, this was the magic world, and the coffin of the omniscience is the most important treasure of the Seldam Kingdom.
It was given the name Omniscient because it possesses all knowledge.
I don't know if it's really an omniscient thing, but looking at the reactions of the Archmage, it's true that it's an unusual thing.
I also considered the possibility of constructing a magic that creates an artificial self on my own.
'You can see for yourself.'
Jamie was guided by one of the elders, the Archmage, and headed to the place where the Coffin of the Battery was kept.
* * *
The place where the battery coffin was stored was on the lowest floor of the central horse tower.
And to get there, you had to take a dedicated elevator that was only allowed to the Archmage.
The elevator went down quickly.
It had to be fast because it was going up and down the highest and lowest floors of the central tower at once.
"Are you nervous?"
Jamie shook her head at Linmer's question.
not too bad.
"The Confucius The 3 elders expect a little and do so. If you are a child, be a child. Do you know?"
"The only one who treats me with sorrow is the 7 elders."
"The country has to do the same. Everyone will treat you like an adult."
Hahaha. Are you two on good terms?"
Luke, who was listening to Jamie and Siegfried's conversation, burst into a characteristic smirk.
Suddenly, the elevator reached the lowest floor.
A red light lit up above and the door split on both sides. A cold, damp chill rushed into the elevator.
Linmer took the lead.
Jamie followed and looked around.
In fact, there was nothing around. It was because the narrow hallway, which was all indigo blue, was at the end.
And a door appeared.
Rinmer placed his hand on the door, and mana gushed out and seeped into the door.
A green line was drawn intricately centered on the hand and then spread throughout the door.
Push-
Along with the sound of the wind blowing, a gloomy chill struck again this time.
Seeing the space inside the door, Jamie opened her mouth slightly.
It was a huge space. All kinds of artifacts are intertwined, as if it contained the essence of magic.
A huge, transparent cylindrical glass tube was placed in the center.
A glass coffin filled with blue liquid contained a crown.
It was the crown.
"From here on, only you can enter."
"Go carefully, Confucius."
"No need to be afraid No, aren't you the type to be scared in the first place? Whoa!"
Jamie slowly entered the room, cheering. Then the door closed and he was left alone in this large space.
I could feel the chill in my backbone and the huge mana spread throughout the space.
I walked to the glass tube.
As I got closer, I could feel the concentration of mana increasing through my skin.
So, standing in front of the glass tube, Jamie placed her hand on the glass tube that was faintly frosted.
- You're finally here.
A voice was heard.
It was the voice I had heard in my dreams.
-come in.
The part I touched was open in a circle.
The water did not pour out.
Jamie thought so too, so I didn't have to avoid it.
As we entered, I felt the friction of the water. It was just as I had felt in my dream.
I could even breathe.
Looking up, the crown was slowly descending to where he was.
- I've been waiting eagerly.
What was the reason you waited patiently for yourself?
- Write me.
Instead of asking directly, Jamie held the crown that had just come down to her hand.
And I wrote it on my head.
The surrounding landscape began to change.
The complex structure of the space disappeared like a lie, and a vast plain appeared.
Someone was standing there.
He was a blue-skinned man with strange tattoos on his face, neck and chest.
With a crown on his head, he smiled at Jamie.
nice to meet. I am the coffin of the battery."
At that moment, an unfamiliar memory began to enter Jamie's head through the coffin of the battery.
It was a very different memory from the Archmage who had previously used the crown of batteries.
A memory that only the coffin of batteries allowed only to Jamie.
And as new memories settled in her mind, Jamie knew who the man in front of her was.
"The first king, Gav Illidan."
A new civilization that took root in this land 10,000 years ago.
The one who was the owner and king of that place.
The one who laid the foundation for the present age.
And, the one who was the owner of the battery coffin.
"I was waiting for you with the best tune with me."
Gav Illidan reached out to Jamie.
