Chapter 118 – A Story No One Knows
Huiing, huuuuung!
An endless white snowy field. The sharp wind called the breath of bitter cold.
In the north, there is a coalition of ethnic groups threatening the Dharma Empire. The imperial expeditionary force crossing there stopped at the foot of a mountain.
Because I discovered something unexpected.
“Is there anyone who can interpret this language?!”
The Dharma Empire
Knight Commander
Interest
Grand Master
, Master of All Swords, 3
The eldest son of a family that serves as the first knight commander
‘Cho Gil-dong’ gave his voice.
Soon a dark elf wizard came and took a look. There were as many as nine rings tangled around his chest.
“Well, this is similar to the language we use.”
“It’s the dark elf language.”
“But it’s a little different. If you must say
Elphe
What should I say?”
“Elf? What is Elfe?”
The dark elf wizard laughed at Jo Gil-dong’s question.
“He is the ancestor of all elves known to the world. They are said to have come from outer space, not from this planet.”
“Now that I think about it, it seems like something I heard at first glance during an in-depth history class.”
“I can’t believe a martial artist is like that. “The knight commander is indeed different.”
“But what does it say?”
“Hmm… According to my limited knowledge, Lord Grant is sleeping here.”
It was amazing content. Jo Gil-dong stroked his chin.
“So the legendary figure is sleeping in this coffin?”
“Yes, what?”
Drud, thud!
The coffin lid opened of its own accord. People were nervous.
Enough to make the expeditionary force, which was said to have gathered only the best talents of the empire, be nervous for a moment. Sir Grant was a legendary figure.
“What?!”
But there was nothing inside the coffin. There are only traces that something existed.
The dark elf wizard clicked his tongue.
“It looks like the body has turned into ashes and disappeared.”
“Is this the real Lord Grant?”
“One thing is for sure, he was quite tall. There… “Your ears are strangely twisted.”
“Homecoming? Like an elf?”
“No, like Elphe.”
They couldn’t find the right answer, so they buried the coffin and quickly left. Because there was a lot of work to do.
However, none of them knew the correct answer.
Why is Sir Grant’s coffin here? Why did he come here, and what on earth was his identity?
＊＊＊
After being shocked and dumbfounded, I went and sat down across from Aki.
Even while I was sorting out documents, I saw Renata sitting next to me to take a break and leisurely sipping a cup of tea.
“Wait for a sec. “What exactly is it about?”
Aki read for a moment more, and then she answered.
“If we were to gather only the parts that the nun interpreted… Yes, like this.”
Aki showing his notebook. Of course, I still don’t know what it is.
Why aren’t there any titles that allow you to master a language? The goblin language and script are good enough.
“Hmm, I still don’t know what the text is.”
“Let me explain. “The Lord Grant we learned through history is a being who travels between worlds, right?”
“Yes, I traveled across all kinds of multiverses, and along the way, I created or found amazing artifacts called holy relics.”
The character named Sir Grant here was almost like the protagonist of a web novel.
It is said that he was successful in whatever he did, moved around many worlds, and even won over heroines of all tastes.
Aki suddenly put on his glasses with a serious face.
No, what do you mean?! But since Aki writes it, it looks pretty and intelligent!
Aki pointed to the notebook.
“What comes out here is the story that happened after that. After history…”
“After that?”
“For example, it is a sequel to the story of Lord Grant that we know. After all his adventures, he built a cabin on the moon and slept peacefully.”
“Yes, it definitely ends that way. But no?”
“Yes.”
The atmosphere seemed to have become heavy, as if an invisible giant was pressing down. To the point where it’s awkward to breathe.
I guess I wasn’t the only one who was nervous. Everyone stopped their hands.
Only Peary pulled out in front of me. Aki explained.
“Sir Grant’s adventures weren’t all good things. Inevitably, there were many unfortunate events that occurred, or where his own hopes and illusions were shattered.”
“Uh… I guess so. Probably.”
“So he decides. He feels responsible for these worlds, so he isolates them from being negatively influenced by each other and makes sure that each world has different laws.”
“… Yes? “What now?”
I wondered if I had heard wrong. In history, Lord Grant was a transcendent.
But like many transcendental beings, he was not a god.
But what? Sir Grant has now done something worthy of a god?
“I know Lord Grant is great, but isn’t that something only a god would do?”
Other people were also surprised. Of course, you were as surprised as I was.
A character named Sir Grant, who only exists in the setting, was actually comparable to God.
〈No, that’s not it. I have never heard of a god named Grant.〉
‘Are you sure?’
〈Our gods are somewhere in that vast universe
Pantheon
Let’s meet in this place. I’ve seen all the gods there, but I’ve never seen Grant.〉
Goddess is a goddess. At least she once exercised her power as a goddess. Then it will be clear.
Aki shook his head gloomily.
“Whether he is a god or a transcendent being. This
I actually did it, It is said that due to the recoil, he lost not only his strength but also his body.”
“Then is he dead?”
I felt strangely relieved. Why is it that they are not even my acquaintances?
“No, unfortunately that’s not the case.
Soul
Because this remains.”
Somehow I became more anxious. It felt similar to winning a game by luckily discovering a bug, but the next day the administrator went on a rampage, demanding that all the buggy users be fired.
Aki shook his head.
“I don’t know where his soul resides, but he is revered by the public, revered, or wanders around as the protagonist of word of mouth, under various names. Even now…”
“For example?”
When Renata asked, Aki hesitated for a moment and then answered.
“Here… There are many different names that have come up.
Stalker of the multiverse, fragile storyteller, bearer of frustration, border walker, Tris Narg,
Alpe de Prima
Etc…”
“Huh, I’ve been called by many names. Crazy.”
In fact, they were all names I didn’t know. No matter how much I played the game or delved into the original work, it was a name I had never seen before.
What I thought was a virtual being been actually a huge being. I was speechless due to the surprise that came from that.
But Peary, who was still, trembled. Like an aspen tree.
“Uh, uh…”
“Peary, what’s wrong?”
When I asked, Peary pointed to his notebook. Her hands were shaking like crazy. I’m going to be incontinent if I keep doing this.
I walked over and wrapped my arms around her shoulders to calm her down.
“It’s okay, it’s okay. “Don’t worry.”
“
Tris Narg
The name…”
“Yes, why is that? Have you ever heard of it? Where?”
“This is also the name of the god worshiped by those who recite sins!”
We all gasped at Peary’s words. Aki tilted his head.
“Now that I think about it, I remember hearing it too. Although it is faint.”
“I’m sure you heard it from Rao, who was playing the fake lord!”
“Oh right. That guy… !”
“Ha, that’s disgusting. I don’t remember everything, but I remember that Rao often mentioned this name when he was pretending to be a lord and always praying at dawn. Even if I didn’t want to memorize it, I memorized it on my own!”
Peary was probably Rao’s closest associate, even more so than Aki.
In that case, you would have noticed and listened to whatever he said or did, even if you didn’t want to.
I became anxious and asked questions without realizing it.
“Are you saying that the god served by the one who recites sins is Tris Narg, and that he is Lord Grant?”
Anyway, it didn’t seem realistic. The one who recited sin was just a pseudo-religion with a variety of things.
Do you worship a legendary being who actually existed like that as a god?
This is too much of a coincidence. How can this be? Unless someone is deliberately manipulating it.
Tak.
Renata emptied her teacup and looked around at us.
“Then
Kahlum
Does this mean that it was Tris Narg who created it?
Demon King
“Isn’t it?”
“All kinds of bad things are related to the Demon Lord, but if this story is true, it would be true that Kahlum started from Triss Narg.”
Everyone was surprised by the unexpected story. Clearly, Kahlum was the energy mainly used by those who recited sins.
Even the black army was created by that proud Kahlum.
No one could have done this except a believer in Tris Narg and a sinner.
Aki spoke as if he had just finished speaking.
“Anyway, the stories on the stone tablet I saw in the underpass all point to Lord Grant.”
“Oh, but Lord Grant’s relics, I’m
Have it all
There is… ?”
Although I was a bit offended, I raised my hand and expressed my opinion.
When the sword, necklace, and ring were shown one after another, Renata tilted her head.
“I thought something was surprising until now, but they are all holy things? Even the holy sword is Lashu’s heirloom, right?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
Renata’s face suddenly darkens. It was the same expression she made when Jaun was a minor lord when she saw him in pain.
“Something is strange.”
Min Ji-yu, who had been quiet until now, joined the conversation. As we looked, Minji Yu stuck out her tongue.
“Oh, I was just trying to listen. “There’s something strange.”
“What’s strange?”
Min Ji-yu shrugged my question as if it was obvious.
“They say Lord Grant has three holy relics, right? From the librarian. But now, as it happens, Lashu has three.”
“Is that so?”
“I wasn’t lucky enough to get them all at once, but didn’t they seem to have been made for Lashu to get them one by one, as if someone gave them as rewards in the game?”
“… Yes?!”
“Oh, of course it could be my mistake, but
Timing
“It’s a bit like this.”
I’m at a loss for words. I immediately looked down at the sacred objects I had.
It felt like an invisible, cold icicle had pierced my heart.
I wanted to think as positively as possible, but after listening to Min Ji-yu’s story, I couldn’t.
‘It’s as if someone did it on purpose because I have all the sacred items, right? Can this be simply attributed to correction of the main character? No, am I the main character?’
Even the sword, one of the sacred relics, has been an heirloom of our family from the beginning.
This is
Coincidence
Will it be enough? That only the protagonist has
KIYEON
The question was whether this alone could be explained.
Min Ji-yu came to me who was speechless.
“But I was talking to a woman earlier. Who was she?”
Then Renata agreed.
“So, who on earth is that woman?!”
The women’s eyes were immediately focused on me. Like an eagle’s eye.
“Ah, an order came from the imperial palace. They say they are organizing a demon lord subjugation team. “They tell me to prepare and come back within a week?”
“What?!”
All the women were shocked by my answer. As if it made no sense.
“A team to subdue the demon lord?!”
“Already?!”
“Rash, no… !”
“The Northern Expeditionary Force hasn’t even returned yet.”
Everyone seemed quite surprised. Rather, my heart was more surprised.
The sacred things I have, the things that have happened so far, and the events.
Is all of this really a coincidence?!
