Chapter 231: The Sage Resists the Will of the World
I froze at Groms remarks.
Although it was unexpected, I wasnt too surprised about it.
I scratched my forehead and asked him after correcting my posture.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com
What happened? Tell me in detail.
Yes, actually
Grom timidly began to talk about the situation.
It seemed that there were many people claiming to be the Savior on the continent where the riot took place.
According to the spies investigation, a bard spread the story.
Moreover, it was said that the story was heavily modified.
According to the bard, the Savior was a nameless herald.
There could be multiple people who bear the name as they were helping people behind the scenes.
Everyone had such qualities and could be a Savior by doing good deeds.
And those who manage to become Saviors have their souls blessed.
Some people were inspired by this and began to call themselves the Savior.
The spies who sensed the situation reported to me through Grom.
I see. This is troublesome.
My deepest apologies. If only we proceeded with the plan earlier
You dont have to apologize. It is I who was too nave to read the situation.
The speed of the rumor spreading was higher than expected.
It was unnaturally widespread.
Even with the presence of the bard, I felt that it was too influential.
Perhaps the Will of the World was involved in this.
The peoples emotions seeking out heralds triggered the emergence of Saviors.
In any case, it was a fact that I failed to stop it.
I doubt everyone seriously claimed themselves to be the Savior.
It was just a fad, so to speak.
It was more of an entertainment.
It was how common people pretended to feel like a herald.
Certainly! I will do that right away.
Grom left the room nimbly.
His presence moved away from the castle and quickly went away.
I focused on the presence behind me.
Luciana was sitting on the open window.
She appeared at about the same moment as Grom left the room.
Perhaps she eavesdropped on our conversation earlier.
Luciana sighed deeply.
Things have become troublesome. Are you sure you are not hated by the Will of the World?
I cant deny that.
The Will of the World had interfered with my actions many times in the past.
I thought I could get away from it this time, but it seemed that it wasnt so easy to achieve that.
Luciana came into the room then wrapped her arms around my shoulders.
She drew closer and whispered.
Well, leave the preparations to me. Failure is a common thing.
Indeed. I have no time to sulk.
I never expected that I would be able to pull it off perfectly to begin with.
I did consider failure.
It was unexpected that a Savior would appear en masse, but it wasnt impossible to deal with.
I had experience and power gained all this time.
We will restore order. It will be us moving the world.
Thats great! I felt a thrill from that line.
Luciana said happily as she licked her lips.
She didnt feel pessimistic about failure.
Rather, she was burning with a fighting spirit.
I should learn from her optimistic attitude.
This time, I decided to exceed the Will of the World.
