Chapter 168

William was working on reading silently in the swaying wagon. I am reading Galias’s customs and history, and various written books about Galias. I have to do my best to meet Gaius. Even if you take one answer, that monster will always make sense.

It will be an endless journey. William turns pages while knocking on his knowledge.

“……”

William turns the page further. Although it strikes, the turn is quick.

“……”

Pages that turn over as if they are skipping. Of course all of it is read well. If asked in the last minute, you will be able to answer without exception. The daily research and greed’s attitude of learning gave birth to this reading power.

“…… Eleonora-sama”

“Hey !?”

Seeing the woman sitting face to face, William sighed. He made a crazy voice and his cheeks were stained red like apples. I had felt a pale feeling until now, but recently it was a bit too much on the front. You can see the impression that the taga is off.

“There has been no progress from one page to another, but was there something you bothered about?”

“Hmmm, yes, that’s right.”

I understand why William does not move forward. It is obvious that you can not concentrate on reading in view of the number of times you look at your eyes.

“Well, this book is difficult, that one”

William closes the book he was reading. And I moved my seat from myself.

“Ah”

Next to Eleonora. The bond of Eleonora deepens.

William looks at the contents of the book. Certainly difficult. And it is not a hobby of Eleonora. This is a study of alchemy, more broadly speaking of sorcery. The content was ancient, though it was something new. Speaking of sorcery recently, it has been transformed into something like chemistry in modern times. William was also interested in that, but he was not interested in the ancient sorcery, that is, the fantasy described in this book.

“This is an interesting book, but let’s put it aside. Eleonora also goes to study abroad. Let’s learn about Galias together. Of course I think Eleonora will only know what you know, but to review it I think it will be. ”

The journey was born when William went to Gallias in exchange for his stay at Lydianne. It makes sense to be accompanied by Eleonora. It is a dream to another country. The information that William says is downturned, and the princess Eleonora made the surface reason of going to study in Galias.

“Hey, yes”

The beat of Eleonora gains momentum. To the extent that William who sits next to it can be easily felt. William thinks. How should this be used?

A smile that flickers each time. The smell of sunflowers-

“First of all in Galias-”

The girl’s smile and her smile are the same, too different.

“Oh! I’m grateful, a guest of Arcadia. I would like to take a rest, but I waited for the day with the feeling of a thousand autumn days, so I borrow a white knight!”

Who will come to Turan, who is the first to meet, not a servant or slave, but a king of this country? I was waiting for Nicolaiko alone without being guarded at the entrance of the palace of Shiraoi.

“Let’s give my grandson to the princess. I am weak but I have a position. And I have a favor.”

“Hey, your Majesty! I’m such an envious mind.”

“I’ll leave everything. It’s my first job, I can do it well. Come on, White Knight, take care of the rest.”

Gaius’s interest was neither in the princess nor in his grandson. Only the white knight, William Livius, appears. That should be it. It has shown so much growth in a year, only a year from the king conference. As a warrior and as a king-

There is no excuse for the king of innovation.

“It’s on! I’m going to go to the more private rooms! What are you doing, run!”

“Hey, yes. Princess, I’m off the seat for a while.”

The king of a superpower running up the stairs with the same momentum. A king of kings and a champion who can claim to be the only great king in Laurentia. It was only amazing from the perspective of people from other countries that it ran up the stairs while intermingling skips so often.

“Wow, you are a white knight”

“Eh yeah. We are proud of our country.”

“No, that’s not the case, no, that’s it? The White Knight is favored by my grandfather, the great innovation king. At least, it’s better than anyone in Galias. ”

Absolute trust in Gaius. The Gaius took precedence over anything, and all the public affairs also threw his sons on this day. Innovation king does not turn a smile to the impatience. Innovation king doesn’t love elephants without elephants. If the king of innovation does this, he is an outstanding man, of course.

“I think that I do not remember, but my name is Julius, Julius de Ulteriol. I will be the brother of Lydiane.”

“I remember, Julius. Didn’t you dance together?”

Julius rejoices to remember. Eleonora smiles when it sees that joy. Surely, in front of the White Knight, I would have this kind of face. When I think so, I would like to laugh innocently.

Because the distance between this boy and my own looks like the distance between myself and the White Knight. Too far, too far.

“I will guide you to Turan. I will not let you get bored, focusing on where I did not enter during the king’s meeting!

“Thank you very much. Julius”

Far. In comparison with that person, I seem miserable. Eleonora feels ashamed of the shallowness that he tries to cuddle while knowing that he is gone and that he is relieved. Don’t notice, I hope so.

There are only a few people from other countries who have entered the private room of Gaius, the best of Turan. One of them was engraved with the name of William.

“It’s good to say high, it’s good.”

From the back of Gaius William overlooks the city of Ulterior. Certainly, this was exceptional. Perhaps two people stand at this place, which is probably the highest point among the artifacts.

“Is it this view that you wanted to show?”

“Um, two people in this place, would be exceptional?”

William frowns. Although there is no sense in this situation, what matters more than that is the word “two” in this place. Because in this place-

“It looks like there’s one more person.”

There was a third “boy”. Gaius and the boy see William with an eye of surprise.

“I was surprised. Can you see the ghost?”

Now, astonished by Gaius’s words, William. Ghosts, words heard several times, and existences seen several times. Being of the same quality as the King of Darkness who is also his back. Do you say that it is this boy?

“Gaius will take him to the top. He is king, as you saw. I am the same kind of king of human beings who advance the age. It is the destiny that I was able to lead you here before you were gone ”

The boy’s words echoed directly to his head. Like a deity that pours from heaven, it strikes a thin chest. And understand that the boy in front of you is definitely something that equalizes the ghost with the being.

“I like it more and more. No, I would have wanted to do anything because it was so. Um, see the world’s abyss, see if it’s too busy. Let’s show something interesting”

A boy touches the wall of chalk. At that moment, the wall disappeared and a staircase rising to the sky appeared like a blaze. William knows something similar to this scene. You get the feeling of touching a new door, touching a new door, etc., when you get into the dark kingdom, touching your physiological aversion.

“But if I know, I can not go back. Only one true king leads to the same absolute loneliness. Here I am cold, and … and I can not lose my mind.”

Gaius’s eyes had a complex color. Such a dichotomy as saying that it should come, like saying that it does not come. William also understands halfway. The fate of the king, meaning to reign. Gaius has endured that loneliness for half a century.

“I am ready. From the day when I killed my beloved with my hand.”

A kind and sober color dwells in Gaius’s eyes. Gaius would be gathering information on William who is obsessed. You should have heard about the case where the fiance died. Then, if it is a king, I will guess. At this time, say that the fiance dies at that timing. Know the meaning, the intention.

A fool who tried to cuddle on the king. Be prepared for the poor man who laid the end of it.

“If you come, come. This is the top.”

Gaius and William climb the stairs starting with the boy. A row walks high enough to make you dizzy. A spiral staircase that stretches up, up and down the human sex.

At the end of the blue sky, beyond the white cloud sea-

“Welcome, here is the end of the illusion, the royal palace Uranosu”

William had no choice but to be stunned by the unspeakable sight. Common sense that William believes falls down. A palace of fantasy that runs to heaven. An illusion that everyone dreams once and everyone forgets one after another. It gathers here.

“It’s not a big deal compared to the magic you know. The embers of the illusion that lived in this land a thousand years ago and were left by the 10,000 sorcerers in exchange for their lives. As you know, a sort of barrier created by sorcery, though that land carries ten times more work than Uranos.

William could not accept the boy’s words. Certainly, William had postponed verification of the dark kingdom. Although there were places where the priority was low, it was because the instinct part was rejecting that it should not be touched above all.

“There is no magic in this world”

William rejects by common sense.

“That’s not right. The words are wrong. Right, there is nothing in the world that can handle sorcery, and the mana that transmits it is also exhausted. But magic exists. There are some remains of sorcery, here and in Arcadia too. It’s already a windy light ‘

William had no logic to deny the boy’s words. In fact, William stands in a place far beyond human skill. In reality, in fact, the actual experience is superior to any theory or theory.

“My name is Uranos. It is a king who ruled this land long ago. The name of the nation and the name of his life came to life with this magic. Therefore I and she both claim the name of magic

A kingdom of darkness that roams to the earth. The royal palace of light that runs in the sky

“A person was born in the age of myth, and reached its peak in the age of magic. But people change. In the world where the heavens were completely destroyed and the demonic world completely disconnected, sorcery would have become an overpowering force. Gradually the power is lost and time has weathered sorcery. ”

Uranos closed her eyes slowly. Are you looking back on the times?

“Have you created something like this with a large scale to leave the lost power?”

“No, it’s different. The world that relied on sorcery could even be destroyed by being lost. This is the magic to avoid the destruction and guide people better. Archive of history, accumulation of the past, existence of the leader of me, it’s Uranos’

“The proof of existence and the existence that we were here, that’s where it is. Human sex changes so much. If we are willing to have power, I think”

“Wow, I can not stand against Gaius.”

Uranos smiles. Gaius turned to William.

“How does magic relate to it? The power that has already been destroyed, it does not mean that something can be done to Uranos. It is not something that I would like to show more.

At the end of Gaius’s hand, there was a huge collection of books and an extra-large bookshelf to hold them. The space where one wall turned into a bookshelf. Most of them are from the age of mythology and sorcery. The language written on the spine does not resemble any of the existing words. In other words, it takes a lot of time and effort to decipher. It does not seem that there is any meaning in the first place where it deciphered.

“Mostly it was originally, but there are also some books that have been collected. Nederlux, Estard, the milestones of the era are here before Gallias was founded. Information that wanted to be kept secret, disappeared In the past, gathered a lot ”

Although pretending to be calm, William’s inner mind was not calm. This scene was so satisfying for William that he was thirsty and forgot it for a moment. What needs to be prioritized to learn is the history of those holes, hidden information.

(If that is the end of the age of magic and mythology, it may be possible to kill time. Maybe there will be useful information … maybe just for that purpose. Not to say)

I am interested even if there is no meaning. After all, William was fascinated by this beautiful space. The embers of a fraying era that can not be read out over a lifetime. Special feeling that only oneself knows it. This area is full of comforts that heal loneliness. There was a paradise forgiven only by the king.

“I’d like to share this with my niece. It’s all this, it’s lonely to let go of it.”

“Ulanos disappears with the death of Gaius. The magic applied to this land will collapse. Produced a king who gave innovation to the world of people. I can finally finish my role. ”

In the eyes of Uranos there was a humble living alive. My memory when I was a person is far away. The emotions were worn out, the mind frayed, and existed with nothing. The birth of Gaius would have been salvation for him. It was hoped to be reached here.

“I do understand that I had an idea and I came to this place. It is good in the meantime. If I could take over in one part of this world, I would not have much pleasure for this.”

Gaius’s eyes were empty. I saw the joy of ending. The face of death is near, I know it. The difference with Uranos is the many mindset. Unsung to this world burning in the sky. Gaius’s wish is that there is no real thought.

(Get this knowledge, I want to fight with me who came to the throne of Arcadia, as a king. Those who stand on the same horizon, it is the wish of a solitary man of the innovation king, but there is nothing to do with it)

The answer is fixed. Even if Gaius does not wish-

“By all means, let me learn here. There is a world here.”

Because the abyss you want to see in the ground sitting on the ground, it’s a pile of things.
