But it wasn't long before Ulan was forced to stop walking.
"Laurea?"
The reason was that Laurea hadn't followed him and was still standing there.
What's wrong with her?
After a moment of confusion, she looked up, and then she spoke, closing the distance between them, "There's something I want to ask you."
"What is it?"
"I've been wondering, yesterday and today, how did you know?"
"Know what..."
"That I'm suffering from a hangover." Laurea stared at Ulan intently. As if she couldn't hold back her curiosity.
Ulan, who was asked the question, answered with an indifferent expression, "I can tell by looking at your eyes."
"Eyes?"
"Yes, the eyes tell the whole story."
Immediately after finishing, Ulan stared at her eyes; the way to tell was surprisingly simple — on days without a hangover, the pupils were clearer, and on days with a hangover, they were cloudy.
Laurea then took out a hand mirror from her bosom and started staring at herself in the mirror, "I look exactly the same as usual."
"Isn't it because you don't have a day without drinking alcohol?"
"......."
He had a point. Laurea nodded in agreement. Then, as if a new question had suddenly occurred to her, she turned back to Ulan and spoke, "You know, you're kind of weird, too."
"What do you mean?"
"Isn't it? Usually, if someone who is about to become the next saintess drinks alcohol every day, most people would ask why."
Why do you drink so much alcohol? Ian, Laurea's escort, was the same. He also asked her why she drank alcohol every night right after he found out.
"Aren't you curious? Why I drink alcohol."Rread latest chapters at novelhall.com not really curious."
"Huh? Why?"
"Because I already know the reason."
At that, Laurea smiled broadly; there's no way he could know. The reason she drank was special. In other words, unless she revealed the reason first, there was no way for a third party to know.
'Probably just a shot in the dark,' That's what Laurea thought.
Until she heard Ulan's reply, "It's the voice of the stars, isn't it?"
"......?!"
Ullan's reply came back with a bang.
The moment she heard this, Laurea was startled as if she had seen a ghost.
Surprise. Confusion. And Shock.
Faced with this, he recalled the story he had heard from the saintess of his past life.
'The Star God.'
The god worshiped by the believers of the Holy Kingdom and the collection of countless divinities that support the world.
Among them, the saintess, who is called the messenger of God, is a very special being who serves God from the closest place. Is that why? In addition to the great divine protection, the saintesses who serve the Star God have several abilities.
One of them was the 'voice of the stars' that Ulan had just mentioned.
⸨ When night falls and the stars rise, the gods speak to us ⸩
Simply hearing this, it could be said to be a very mysterious and sacred ability.
It was a great honor for the saintess who served the gods to hear the voice of the gods.
'I have actually been helped by it.’
The Star God sometimes warns of impending dangers or gives advice through the saintess.
This has saved the warrior party more than once.
Right now, Ulan needed an ally.
If the Abyssal Rift were to open again, and another Ruler were to emerge, it would be difficult for Ulan to face it with his strength alone.
So, he decided to entrust his secret to an old comrade and seek cooperation. Ulan chose Laurea as the target.
After casting away all hesitation...,
...with eyes blazing like flames and a resolute voice, Ulan continued, "I am Ulan Bator. Born on the plains, a warrior who has traversed the battlefield, and a companion who has faced the abyss with you for over a decade."
"......what?" Laurea asked, dumbfounded.
Ulan said that he had been with her for over a decade, just like before. And this time too, Ulan's words were found to be true.
"Come on, wait a minute! Wait a minute."
It's too absurd a story.
On the other hand, Eyes of Penetration accepted it as truth.
In a situation she had never experienced before, it felt like her comprehension was being exhausted. So, after interrupting Ulan's words, she tried to organize the information.
"What, what do you mean we've been together for over a decade? We clearly met for the first time yesterday, and..."
In the midst of her rambling.
Ulan grabbed Laurea by the shoulders.
With perplexity filling her eyes, she faced the bewildering gaze, and he whispered someone's name.
"Irea."
The moment she heard the name.
Laurea's thoughts stopped.
For Irea was her 'real name', the name she had once used before she became a saintess candidate.
"H-How do you know that name..."
A secret known only to herself and her mentor.
As the real name that even Ian didn't know flowed from Ulan, her voice trembled uncontrollably.
On the other hand, Ulan remained calm.
Facing the turbulent gaze of Laurea, he whispered once again.
The secret that only he knew.
"I came from the future, 30 years later."
A response so bizarre that hearing it was enough.
But Laurea didn't laugh at all.
The reason was simple.
In Ulan's answer, conveyed through Eyes of Penetration, there was no hint of falsehood.
Facing only the sincere confession,
Her mind turned completely white.
