Chapter 474
Observer of the world (2)
As soon as the man bends down, an armchair appears from empty space and supports his body.
The boy opened his mouth slowly in front of the man who sat with his legs crossed casually.
“I want to know for sure if the six apostles are dead.”
“that’s right. It disappeared some time ago.”
“Right... ... .”
The boy nodded in a firm tone.
The man looked at the boy and asked.
“How did you know that even in the church, only a few people, including the priestess, knew about it?”
“... ... .”
“Ah, by any chance, don’t talk bullshit about the close bond between the apostles. You know better that we don’t have anything like that, right?”
Guido is only bound by one doctrine, but the bond or intimacy between the apostles, who are called maximum power, is actually close to the worst.
The original apostles are incarnations that serve different gods of the open sea.
This is because the god served by one church is no different from a collection of other church members.
It is only maintaining the form of the organization out of loyalty to the leader, the owner of the church and the propagator of the doctrine.
Without a strong central point, there were a lot of people who wanted to prove their superiority by fighting among themselves, rather than uniting together.
Despite the man’s harsh remarks, the boy answered calmly.
“I saw it from the outside.”
“... ... Did you see it?”
At the belated questioning, the boy slowly closed his eyes.
“Very occasionally, when I wake up, I remember what I was looking at.”
“... ... .”
“I am wandering in the endless sea. The dark sea that is so wide and huge that nothing is reflected... ... . Every moment is unbearably painful, but there are times when it becomes uncontrollably comfortable and enjoyable in a very fleeting moment.”
the boy said quietly.
“I will forever wander chasing that moment. forever... ... .”
“Whoa... ... .”
The man with a tired expression brushed his hair and slowly took off his glasses.
From the moment the thick lens was completely out of his field of vision, the direction the man was looking at began to diverge as if splitting into space.
damn... ... !!
The boy’s body that met that gaze shattered like glass, shattering into pieces.
The man said to the boy who didn’t even groan even though it was not a pain that humans could endure.
“Hughes... ... . Do you think I ask because I don’t know what the gods of the open sea are?”
“... ... .”
“Let’s not waste time unnecessarily. What do you want to say?”
It is not uncommon for an apostle who has reached the end of madness to peek into the memories of foreign gods.
What the man wanted to know was not how far the boy had peeked into the memories of foreign media.
What did this rare genius, who came to his senses after decades, call him for?
Even now, church branches across the continent are overflowing with followers who need his help.
The religious leader, who is to lead all this chaos and lead the followers to paradise, cannot say that he is fine even with empty words.
There were so many things he had to do besides dealing with the completely insane Apostle.
said the boy.
“When the six apostles had a conversation with a wizard named Victor right before his death, there was a response from him.”
“... ... A reaction?”
“It was an inspiration strong enough to put my consciousness back in place after swimming in the sea. You’d better find out about him.”
“... ... .”
At the completely unexpected words, the two apostles thought with a cold expression.
The only existence they serve together. Is it a coincidence that his reaction appeared at that moment and the other apostles observed it?
The man who had been silent for a while nodded slowly.
“... ... good. It’s a lot worse than I expected. Do you want anything?”
The boy remembered by the 2 apostles is a person with a very peculiar temperament among the apostles within the church.
A possessor of such a complex nature that he does not move easily for one reason even when his mind is clear.
It was valuable information, but there was no reason to stand up and shake off the madness just for this one.
The boy also answered in a quiet tone.
“I want to have the same ending as the 6 apostles. Can you arrange a suitable stage for me?”
“... ... what?”
“The fact that the 6 apostles who have known him the longest must have disappeared, which must mean that he had a direct will.”
“... ... .”
“If he decides to vacate the seat of an apostle who has run out of usefulness, I want to be next.”
The boy’s eyelids trembled as he closed his eyes.
“Honestly right now... ... . It’s not easy to have a conversation like this. Maybe I’m talking right.”
“You say that you want to commit suicide at length.”
The man let out a cold sigh.
“You should also know that the case of the six apostles was a matter of very special circumstances, and that the priestess had a strong will.”
“... ... “
When do apostles die and disappear? After his death, where does the power of the foreign press that was granted to him go?
How is the qualification to succeed the remaining vacant seat recreated?
Pretending not to know anything about the handbook’s well, it seemed that there was no need to listen to the explanation of what I knew.
“Looks like there was a pretty big dispute.”
[also... ... . You’ve heard about the situation already.]
Lennok asked again.
“If the Ascendants were involved, it would have to do with the lighthouse’s goal, so why didn’t the Blue Eye intervene?”
Of course, since Lennok participated in the jungle work as Victor, if Lapis asked for help, he would have had to excuse himself and leave, but not asking
Lapis about this could in itself seem rather strange.
As much as she refrained from sending a message and saying that she would explain later, Lennok needed to respond accordingly.
[Because there was nothing to gain.]
“Nothing to gain?”
[Evan-sama hasn’t played Pandemonium yet, so you don’t know, but this is already going around on the continent.]
Lapis, who was silent for a moment, continued.
[Do not intervene in the work of those who walk backwards... ... .]
“... ... .”
[In fact, it’s more of a skeptical advice that you’re only getting your hands on things that have already been decided.]
Those who walk backwards. It was quite a metaphorical analogy, but Lennok immediately understood what it meant.
It was because he clearly remembered that Ermong, who was lying down with him at the time he met the leader at the end of the labyrinth, muttered something similar to that.
It must have been the word referring to the leader of the Pandemonium War, and it must be picking up on the words of someone who succeeded in peeping into its true nature.
[I didn’t even step into this incident myself, but I felt the meaning of that word.]
“What does it mean?”
[The huge commotion in the jungle started and ended at the hands of the leader, and I watched the ending together.]
“... ... .”
[I couldn’t deal with him head-on, willingly or unwillingly, at least now.]
The young lighthouse keeper didn’t quite explain what had happened, but Lennok understood what Lapis was talking about.
The moment when Gyebaek used himself as a bullet and rushed toward the end of the open sea.
The leader must have also continued to move somewhere in this world, intersecting with the lighthouse in the process.
The fact that Lapis’ voice seemed to be somewhat subdued was also because of the leader’s presence.
It would not be strange if Lapis, who had met him directly, had an indescribably strange feeling.
Lennok had to think similarly the moment he suddenly encountered the leader at the end of the labyrinth.
The leader of a huge criminal organization called Pandaemonium.
He is a mysterious person whose identity is unsure even though he is alive and breathing in the same world.
Not to mention his name, identity, face, and even what kind of life he lived.
At least Ermong, an ancient black magician who competed in the labyrinth with Lennox, seemed to guess what it was, but he didn’t even have a chance to question it.
‘The last gias inserted into Gyebaek’s body also belonged to the leader... ... .’
At least, it is clear that he has been living since the time when the central city was still alive and spreading his influence all over the world.
Even the gigantic incident in which two ascenders collided and one of them fled out of the world was only part of the plan to reap the seeds sown for the leader.
Lennok was clearly aware of that, so he rather refrained from looking into the leader.
The risk was too great to hastily approach the leader at a point where he had not yet penetrated deeply into Pandaemonium.
“Whoa... ... .”
As I leaned back on the chair with a low exhalation, the old chair in the lab made a noise.
Lennok quietly opened his mouth, lightly letting go of the noise that resonated in the quiet laboratory.
“I understand that you are in a position to catch up with Pandaemonium. If it wasn’t shaken, I wonder if that would be enough.”
[...] ... Of course you should.]
It felt like Lapis was smiling bitterly over the communication network.
The Blue Eye is an organization created from birth to prevent the opening of the sky and find a better alternative.
It is an undeniable fact that, as we started as a latecomer, our skills and talents were lacking compared to Pandemonium.
Aren’t they attracting talented people from all over the continent centered on the lighthouse and trying to advance into the central front, gathering power and reputation?
Lapis, too, did not hesitate to get to the point.
[There is something I want to show you, Evan.]
Lennok immediately replied to those calmly subdued words.
The place written in the message received at the well. Because it was an unusual place name, it remained in Lennok’s memory.
“Valley of the waves?”
[...] ... Yes, to be precise, it is the story of the deepest part of the Eastern Trama Mountains, where the valley is located.]
Lennok asked, tilting his head slightly at those words.
“Didn’t they say that they were achieving results by breaking through the bridgehead to the central front?”
The lighthouse keeper Lennok knew was by no means empty talkers.
If you can say that you are producing results directly through messages, it must mean that the operation is about to end successfully.
Naturally, I thought he would have called Lennok to discuss what happened after that, but this was a bit unexpected.
However, Lapis immediately denied Lennok’s idea.
[No, we succeeded in securing the road to the central front. At the time of sending the message, the operation was virtually over.] “
... ... .what?”
[The reason I contacted Evan today is no different... ... .]
After saying that, Lapis was silent for a while.
After a long silence, Lapis’s voice was heard again over the phone as if he had made up his mind.
[It’s because I’m ready to regain my grandmother’s power and show the way the Blue Eye will ultimately go.]
