Episode 1095. The sword is the road, the key.
Despite Fabian’s snobbish nature, Elio’s eyes looking at him were warm.
It’s not about pretending nothing is wrong.
Right now, Elio was truly at peace in body and mind.
This is because in an extremely formal and understated aristocratic society, Fabian is the only person who gives a sense of home.
Fabian miraculously resembled Heartache, so Elio didn’t hate him.
‘Maybe it’s a heartache with less dirt on it.’
Elio thought that if he sifted his heartache through a sieve, Fabian would come out.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“If you hadn’t become a knight, what do you think you would have been doing for a living?”
“A mercenary.”
“How about a thief?”
“I’m not that corrupt.”
“that’s right. I can see it.”
Elio nodded.
If you were born into a family with a heartache, would you have become a Pyosa?
Family and parents are so important.
Fabian asked Viscount Elio Lagoa, who was lost in his thoughts.
“So what is your purpose in Hirhera, if not in the mines?”
“Fabian. I am not a savage.”
“Could it be that you didn’t receive the blessing of mana, so you trained your aura as the next best thing?”
It wasn’t that such people didn’t exist at all, so Fabian wasn’t too surprised.
Elio’s past flowed out of Elio’s lips as he gazed at Fabian.
“...The twisted desires of Kama Debias (Cheonjama) and Ushas Undra (Golden Thread) were released from restraint and returned to their true bodies. My world’s Shastra Parakti (nine-heaven woman) said that their world would be destroyed because of their twisted desires when they returned to the True God. I am the one who came to save their world, this world you live in.”
“...”
Fabian, who had been listening in awe, asked with a dazed face.
“So you’re saying that the Viscount is from another world? Aren’t we from Rodina continent? Another world across the sea?”
“It’s not from another world across the sea... it’s a person from another dimension.”
“Dimension?”
“Simply put, it’s a person from another universe.”
“haha. Maybe it’s because the viscount said you’re not pure? Wrong. I didn’t know that the Viscount was so shocked. Please forgive me. If you worship me, I will worship you.”
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“I apologize, but it seems like the Viscount, not me, is talking nonsense. Are you from another universe? It’s really the first time I’ve ever heard such a thing. Not even the crazy people in my hometown were like that.”
“What are you thinking about? Anyway, I believe the crack in the ice wall was the work of Kama Debias and Ushas Undra. That’s why I don’t leave Hirhera.”
“How long will you be in Hirhera?”
“Until the person behind the rift is eliminated.”
“Do you think they are behind the warlocks?”
“uh.”
“Wow! Killing Kama Debias and Ushas Undra? driving me crazy. No matter how much you are, that’s not okay. Don’t even dream.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Kama Debias is the ‘God of the Sun’ and Ushas Undra is the ‘God of Dreams and Illusions’. Not a god, but a real god. How can the Viscount kill the real God?”
“God is not immortal. I already killed him once in another dimension. Don’t think that what I’ve shown you is everything. I’m doing it because I’m afraid they’ll run away, so I’m moving quietly.”
“Oops! Kama Debias and Ushas Undra fleeing?”
Fabian looked at Viscount Elio Lagoa like a madman.
Why do the gods run away from mere humans?
Rather the opposite, though.
“I told you. Would they hide if they knew I was following you all the way here?”
“Oh my viscount, maybe it’s good? Should I bring a high-ranking priest?”
“Believe it or not, don’t even think about telling this secret to anyone. No matter how much you are, I can’t just leave you alone for the cause.”
“I don’t speak. Everyone would think the viscount was crazy if I said it, but why am I saying things like that?”
“Hirhera’s rift must have been their work. That’s why Shastra Parakti, the sage of the Nine Heavens, sent me here.”
“Oh, I’m going crazy.”
Fabian scratched his head.
It’s obviously bullshit, but I don’t know why it keeps sounding real.
“If we don’t finally find any trace of them here, we’ll go to Jedo.”
“A system?”
Fabian’s dying eyes came to life.
I thought it would be rotten in Hirhera, but I like going to the city of culture and pleasure.
“I heard that Kama Debias is in the Celestial Star. As for the Celestial Castle, they say the Imperial Mage Tower is quick. I plan to visit the Mage Tower and find out where Celestial Castle is.”
“The Magic Tower... can’t enter unless you’re a wizard, right?”
“What do you think Fabian’s sword is?”
“A sword is a sword, what is it?”
“The sword is the road and the key. There is no place that the sword cannot go, and there is no door that cannot be opened. Doesn’t a person called a knight know such basic things?”
“Does that mean you will go in by force?”
“If you don’t listen to me, I’ll have to force you in. So, do you say ‘yes’ there and turn around?”
“In the history of the continent, no one has forcibly opened the door of the Mage Tower.”
“Because I wasn’t there at the time.”
“Ah yes...”
Fabian didn’t speak at length.
What would you say to a person who would kill even a god?
“After I find out where the Celestial Star is in the Magic Tower, I will find and kill Kama Debias.”
“Simple, right? Is that the end?”
“No way. Our next destination is the Southern Great Forest. To be precise, I will go to the Abyss in the Great Forest.”
“From the North through the Middle... the Great Forest in the South? Is the door to suffering wide open?”
“Can not help it. Ushas Undra is the god who presides over the Abyss, so I have to go find the Abyss.”
“Perforation and the Abyss are the biggest mysteries of this world... You mean the Viscount will destroy all the mysteries of this world?”
“That way peace will come to this world. If only I hadn’t gotten entangled with them in ‘Heaven of Kings’... Ha!”
A shot came out of Elio’s mouth.
If so, I would have been living happily with my family by now.
“Even just listening to the Viscount’s words... my heart just...”
“Is it grand?”
“Yes, it’s hard to breathe... it’s magnificent.”
“That kind of thing is called the Great Spirit [浩然之氣] in my hometown.”
Fabian said, covering his face with a fan.
“Maybe it’s because I’m short-tempered, just hearing your words... makes me sweat.”
“are you okay. at first everything But the gigantic mind grows bigger with effort, so it will be fine soon.”
“To be honest, I don’t really want to do that. So... in the meantime, how about I take care of Slash Land?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Shouldn’t the lord take care of the manor one by one while he travels around the central and southern parts of the country? I was wondering if you could leave that to me.”
“no. You already promised to be with me. If a man makes a promise, you have to keep it even if a knife comes into your throat.”
“Ah yes... that’s how it should be. I was just saying that there is a way.”
“how is it? After hearing my plan, the blurry future became clearer, right?”
“I must be a fish.”
“You have a bad head?”
“no. Don’t fish say they can’t live if the water is too clear? Seeing the bright future also made me choke.”
“okay? Are you saying life is boring because it’s so obvious? Then, I will hold unexpected events more often in the future.”
“It’s not boring... I’m already tired just hearing the words.”
“Even if I give you everything I have when I return to my hometown?”
“I will only worship the viscount for the rest of my life.”
A light close to madness flashed in Fabian’s withered eyes.
