55 < Chapter 12. Living (3) >

There was a dazzling light wrapped around the cavity.

Even in the morning, it was bright enough to see it even in the city of Citran, two days away.

Those who watched Kalian enter the joint did not conceal their surprise. There was a phenomenon that had never been seen before.

It was definitely not an ominous light.

However, the group waiting for Calian under the rocky mountains is completely unsettled.

Yan was restless, staring only at the common entrance. Someone steps silently towards Yan like that. Then Yan stroked Yan's curly head roughly and touched the horse.

"Is your little boy that worried?"

It was where the knights were.

Knights only? There were some Calians, including Arsen. Slay was the only one who could call Callian that in this position.

Yann looks surprised at Slay with his unruly hair. It was too early for him to arrive.

"You said you were going on patrol."

The western section that Slay was supposed to check was just a day's walk away. Even if you left the evening before, it is not enough time for you to come after scouting.

Only Slay, who received Jan's question, stepped aside and replied.

"I met a very lucky guest and got here early."

Yann turns his head to look at the unseen people who were hidden in Slayman's huge body. And when I saw Slayman, I was a few times more surprised.

There were two people Jan had never met before. However, when Jan saw a girl who looked like she was his age, Jan measured who she was at once.

"I'm Veronica Manasil."

The lower you go, the redder you get.

She was Alan Manasil's granddaughter.

The sound of grass grazes through the calm.

It was filled with an incredible amount of grass.

The small hillside field where Kalian now stands. There was nothing around. There was no land, no sea. It was only a place that felt like an island under the sky. That's why Kalian doesn't think this is the right place for Cairis. I did not know if the human soil would fit.

- Great to meet you, Sispanian.

The Sispanian, greeted by Calian, does not answer.

Instead, I quenched the unforgettable horror of the magical power and breathing that seemed to erode all the air around me.

The feeling of intimidation that I felt when I first encountered the Sispanians disappeared.

Kalian looks down for a moment, feeling a clear relief in his dealings with the Sispanians.

The Cilician, who was looking at Calian, turned his back without a word.

And I walked slowly towards the edge of the field. The long, black head continues to sink, swaying in the wind.

Suddenly, the voice of the Sispanian reached the ears of Kalian.

"What could a child who should not be in the world be looking for me?" "

I wonder how Khalian, who was supposed to be dead, got here.

"I don't know what happened because I had memories of other times."

I wanted to find out why Kalian has Bern's memories.

"What would happen if I forged my blessing with a blade?" "

She wanted to know why the Kalian magic in the heart of the Sispanian blessing was different from others.

The Sispanian still stands at the end of the field, chasing a long way away, turning his head to look at Calian. I hear a mysterious voice that sounds like it's speaking next to me again.

"So, I summoned you."

Then Calian realized why the Sispanians had appeared before Calian, not willingly.

The Sispanians are saying that they decided to meet in person because of their curiosity about the Kalian.

'Are you saying that Randall and Plants have never met the Sispanian way?'

We should be fortunate that this particular encounter was a success.

Kalian smiles bitterly.

Immediately, the Sispanians take a step toward Calian. Suddenly, you're standing right in front of Callian.

The movement was so natural.

Thanks to this, Kalian was not surprised that the Cilicians suddenly appeared before his nose.

The Sispanian faced Kalian and said:

"I'll see."

There was no explanation of what it meant to see.

The so-so Sispanian stares at Calian's eyes for a long time. After that, I nodded occasionally, sighed and laughed small.

'You seem to be seeing my memories.'

It was as Calian predicted.

The Sispanians were looking directly at Calian's life.

Calian surprisingly felt bad about the way he searched his memory without asking for anything. It's because the Sispanians didn't have to seek anyone's understanding in the first place, and they didn't have to hide their experiences from the Sispanians.

That's how time passed again.

The Sispanian takes his eyes off the Kalian.

"I understand."

A quick word.

You don't even have any doubts about Bern's resurrection. It was just a reaction as if I knew what had happened. Kalian smiles unwittingly.

But the Sispanian was not finished.

"They ended up doing too much."

I closed my eyes for a moment, and the Sispanian opened his mouth.

Yeah, it is.

That's what the Sispanians said.

But that didn't reach Callian.

Even though I said it in front of him, I couldn't hear it. Calian saw the Sispanian speak, but he couldn't understand a word he was saying. Not even the shape of his mouth remained in his head.

After seeing Calian's questionable face because of a difficult situation, the Sispanian frowned for a moment. He soon explained what had just happened.

"You can't hear me. That's why she doesn't want it."

It means that Kalian has been forbidden to listen to the Sispanians. It didn't take long to figure out who she meant by the Sispanians. Khalian, who still hasn't said a word, opens his mouth without my knowledge.

"You mean Serenty."

"That's what you call it."

If it wasn't for Serenti, who in the world would dare to impose a word restriction on the Sispanians?

When I thought about it, I suddenly had a curiosity.

"Serenti fell asleep in the process of sealing the evil god. But how do I stop you from saying it?"

It was because it was difficult to understand that Sleeping Serenti appeared in a timely manner and covered the mouth of the Sispanian.

Then the Sispanian replied as if it was nothing.

"Will the existence be masked by sleep?"

"You mean you can hide your words even if you're not awake?"

"Even I am here, leaving my will behind."

The Sispanian's words were a little strange.

As Serenti fell asleep, the Sispanians are here, leaving their will behind.

Callian asks again.

"Then where is this place?"

"It's out of reach of human feet."

It was not an understandable answer.

In fact, I didn't think it was an answer to understand. It sounded like I wasn't going to tell you. Because of this, Calian nods and gives you an idea of understanding. What's important to Callian now is not where the Sispanians are.

Soon, Calian took out something that he had brought with him when he came here. The Black pebble that Elf Luca stole from someone. The Sispanian who saw it reached out his hand.

As she looks at the stone handed to her by Calian, the Sispanian once again frowns and opens his mouth.

"They made it."

I didn't hear that either.

The Sispanians return the pebble to you, not knowing that Khalian had not heard what he said.

"Hold this. You'll find out when the time comes."

Callian notices that Serenti also had a gold mine. Since the Sispanians didn't seem to be able to resist Serenti either, Calian nodded only this time.

Of course, Calian, who didn't intend to fold all his curiosity with it, picked a word out of his mouth for a moment. It was to bring out what I really wanted to confirm the true purpose of visiting the Sispanian after such a long time as the adult ceremony.

"You're a curious kid."

When I didn't see the end of Calian's question, the Sispanian said: Luckily, the persistent question wasn't because the baptism bothered me.

Somehow, Calian feels like the Sispanian who brought it up is smiling. Thanks to this, I asked the question with a little more comfort.

"There was a time axis in Cecritia."

"I know."

The Sispanian sighs low.

That sigh was very different from what it looked like when I searched Calian's memory a moment ago. Deep sighing makes me feel young.

Callian, who forgot to ask the question, hurriedly asked.

"I'd like to know why I wanted to spend time in Cairys."

After hearing it, the Sispanians opened their mouths again, but this time it was also forbidden. I didn't even get a voice this time. Serenti stops the Sispanians from speaking much stronger than they have ever been.

The Sispanians replaced the answer with another word.

"She doesn't want you to act rashly. It's because I'm worried that you're going to find out about the situation behind your death and ruin the future. So don't be disappointed."

Callian's eyes glow.

"I'm not disappointed."

It was not a lie.

Kalian is not disappointed.

It was because the Sispanians continued to learn something about how they were being financed.

"You mean there was enough going on with Serenti to keep her from getting noticed."

God's intervention.

It's bigger than I thought.

After 10 years, it also meant that coming to Cairus, the one who destroyed Cecretia, was never meaningless. The Sispanian looks at Calian with interesting eyes for a moment.

"You're right."

Calian pauses and thinks. Soon, Calian's voice slowly flows out.

"I just have one last question."

"I'll listen."

Calian doesn't open his mouth, even though permission came out right away.

Calian asks with a hesitant face.

"Are you sure you used the time axis to bring me back to life?"

A real smile came to mind in the mouth of the Sispanian. It didn't just make me feel like I was smiling, it was really smiling. It was as if the Sispanians were making a mockery of Calian.

The Sispanian replied with an indelible smile on his face.

"You don't have a lot on your mind. He will know soon enough."

"You didn't use it."

That was enough of an answer. However, the Sispanian opened his mouth again.

"Before I was your brother, I was king. Is your brother so reckless that he has to put one of you first, going against the law?"

It was a clear reprimand.
