Chapter 773 – Human Watchers (6)
***
Business expansion has its pros and cons.
Even after becoming an aristocrat and becoming the deputy lord, I was still uninterested in the management of the estate, but one thing I really liked was that there were many people I could work with.
I can devote myself to important work by entrusting the work in exchange for a fair wage.
“What you think is important is to bury yourself in my chest and take a deep breath~?”
Mmm.
“Well, this is a joke.”
I pulled her face out of Lari Lura’s chest.
The place is still near Romania Kelnonia. I was waiting to read his memories in order to send Valkyrie disguised as Baron Sellustia.
“I don’t really care. I was hugged tightly and my body got hot, but if you finish it, it’s okay.”
“Here is my room key.”
“Yaho♡! Senior is the best!”
After such a logical argument, I called my wives and performed magic.
“Brunack! Pinch out!”
Ugh… !
The lumps formed a human shadow. The principle is the same as the alter ego.
“Huh. It’s so damn amazing.”
Dana waving at Shadow’s face. Fran looked at me and twisted her head.
“Can I ask this shadow?”
“That’s right. I will answer everything I know based on the memories of the merging ones.”
“Almost black magic.”
“When Nefertiti speaks, chills run down my spine.”
“Yes… Good black magic. Certification stamp bang bang.”
“Family management has come.”
The fallen female fourth-dimensional lady turned a blind eye to the misdeeds of her foster daughter and her husband.
Well, permission for this has been granted before. Darkness and negative mana left in the body? That’s what Brunak did overnight. Have a talented daughter and do it.
“Leave your questions to me.”
It was Tyrsi who did so.
It was worth it. Among us, he has the deepest connection with the Romanian aristocratic class and even has a motive. Since the baron is close to the imperial family, I don’t know if I’ll be able to hear about the Armashnas family.
“First of all, cross-validation.”
Tirshi repeated the question over several tens of minutes, comparing the facts we knew with the slime shadow’s answer. And when he knew it was all true, he changed the way he asked questions.
“Tell me about the Sellustia family.”
─They… The loyalty of the imperial family…
Slime said slowly.
─As a family consecrated before and after the Great War, it became the cornerstone of Romania…
A shadow that confesses the circumstances inside the family.
Square square—! Fran quickly transcribed the answer. Tyrsi waited and nodded her head, as if she had acquired enough knowledge to camouflage.
“The information is sufficient. Plant the Valkyrie.”
“But what are you going to do? It would be a little odd if the Baron was the only one left alive.”
“It’s strange. The baron was originally a human who was not classified as a combatant, but what?”
Veronica was concerned about her suspicions, but Dana was adamant.
“Even the 99th Battalion didn’t know that the baron was strong? Then it wouldn’t be awkward if the baron sent only the enforcers from the imperial family, and when he noticed, they were all wiped out.”
Is it? Maybe.
The reason why the baron lived as Himsunjin was told by that shadow. It was because of his own thoughts that it would be difficult for the imperial family to be alerted, and because he was urged not to abuse his power by the imperial family.
Dana crossed her arms and made her face.
“The imperial family are also people with a backlash in that they know the baron’s suspicious power.”
“It is a strange thing. That’s why you’re pretending to be a baron and going to catch the back of your enemy.”
“There will be civil servants in charge of family affairs♡!”
When I told her not to get upset and looked at me with her eyes, Lari Lula, who was full of aegyo, joked around. With the skill of a skilled professional atmosphere maker, even the wrinkles on Dana’s forehead melted away.
“But Valkyrie, I don’t know Romania.”
Those were the words of Nefertiti. She was well aware of the difficulty of language acquisition, having become her multi-lingual gal in her vengeance.
But Veronica said don’t worry, she laughed.
“No problem. You just learned the rune magic that imparts knowledge.”
“Really? When did you do that?”
I was surprised. Of course, I knew that such magic existed because I experienced it.
‘I received the instructions for using the rune mandala directly from the prophet’s alter ego.’
Didn’t Veronica peek into my memories before that and believe that I was Odin’s successor?
But even if Veronica could peek into her memories with that kind of permission, wouldn’t she be able to use the magic to transmit them? How many times have you had sections that would have been easier to solve had that been possible?
“Woomun. Mana also increased. There was also time. There is no reason not to learn something new!”
Veronica puffed out her breasts as if flattered when I was startled.
She’s cute the way her nose goes up. She wanted to rub her cheeky bitch so hard it made her cute screams. I endured it because of the situation.
“Write. That magic works for Valkyrie too?”
“Does it work? Whoops. It works very well. There is a structure that accepts knowledge through runes. The Great Sky God also had in mind the need to teach new knowledge!”
Veronica, who had been speaking proudly, suddenly drooped.
“However… Now, I doubt even whether it was true that Lord Odin made the Valkyrie.”
It is a fact that Odin’s alter ego acknowledged that Odin was replaced with a fake one at some point.
I don’t know why I didn’t say this openly. There must be some kind of restriction. Praying more to a god who has died is overzealous.
“If Nord’s hypothesis is correct, I am anxious.”
Tyrsi sympathized with Veronica’s anxiety.
“But most likely not.”
No, I thought so, but denied it. Dana, who made and bequeathed the Valkyries, listened.
“Are you saying there will be no problems with the Valkyries? Why? Maybe those guys were also created by a fake Odin? When I heard this, I felt a little uneasy.”
“When Dana assumed the throne of Freyja, she said what her alter ego said. Do you remember?”
“… Uh? What, what did you say? I don’t remember well… “
“I thought the sea god’s throne was too much for humans.”
Was the ordeal impressive? Instead of stuttering Dana, Fran spoke.
Tyrsi nodded her head.
“Yes. According to what Nord has found out now, Odin, the sky god, Loki, the god of entertainment and god of all things, and Njord, the god of the sea. Chances are pretty high that these three have been swapped for fakes.”
—One, two, three. She puts her finger on her one by one.
“If you put together Freya’s warnings and abstract information, there’s a high probability that Freya in her lifetime would have noticed that the sea god had been replaced with a fake one.”
“… I guess so. In mythology, it was said that Freya-nim, while being a princess of the Vanir god, made a betrothal with the god Asir and stayed in Asgard.”
Veronica half-opened her eyes.
What if she hadn’t married her other country just out of her goodwill?
What if she noticed a change in her own dad and deliberately distanced herself from her?
Tircy looked back at Val Curier, who was like her handmaid.
“Freya stayed in Asgard long enough to be counted as an Old God, and did not return to the side of the Vanir gods. It’s not because she’s Vanir’s spy.”
“… Because Freya is a double agent in collaboration with Odin?”
“Isn’t it?”
─Nod.
It was Tyrsi who nodded her head to Nefertiti, who noticed the answer.
“Her father was swapped with a fake one day. That’s right, everyone will keep their distance for now. Odin-nim knew about this and persuaded Freya-nim. Does it make sense?”
“Uh, so… They say that you persuaded Freya-sama, who came as a spy, and made you an ally by teaching her how to make a Valkyrie! Indeed, the god of wisdom!”
Larry Lura summarized her conclusions. I got it too.
To summarize in order.
1. One day, Njord, the sea god, turned into a fake.
2. Freya noticed that her dad was a fake, so she took refuge in Asgard.
3. Odin noticed that Freya was a spy, as well as noticed the change in the sea god. And to become a spy, Freyja, as a real comrade, and made a double agent.
Is it this much?
If so, it was only natural that Freyja would have the authority to rule over Valkyrie, God’s envoys created by Odin. Seen this way, the logic works.
‘It’s also convincing.’
Freya’s warning not to covet the throne of the sea god.
Doesn’t that also imply the danger of sea gods?
“If you look at the time series, is it highly likely that the sea god turned into a fake first…”
Muttering, I put my chin on my chin and recalled the past.
When I almost lost my fight with Horsha.
As I was going between life and death holding on to my guts, I saw an illusion of a conversation between Odin and a giant called Mimir. Maybe that was a kind of clairvoyant ability displayed by Odin’s eyes.
‘From what I remember seeing then, the conversation with Mimir is the real Odin.’
It was because the atmosphere of Odin, the professor slayer mode who made that mistake and became a jjuguri, protected me from the mana of chaos and felt sorry for me.
‘Odin has been wary of the sea god Njord since his lifetime.’
It was like that in my memory.
So, wouldn’t it be that he accepted Freya, who came as the daughter of the sea god and spy?
“… Even that shadow of memory did not answer this question alone.”
Tyrsi sighed and looked up at the shadow with her Baron’s memories.
“Everyone, let’s not worry too much.”
─Pair! Frank cheered up the atmosphere by clapping.
“It’s not good to get too engrossed in stories of the difficult past. I still have questions to ask!”
“It was, indeed.”
Starting with Tyrsi, her wives also regained their smiles. It is also a franc. To be honest, the one holding our family is Fran, not me.
Anyway, it’s time to get back to the question.
It’s not even an opponent to measure back and forth, Tirshi asked without hesitation.
“The truth of history that Romania is trying to hide. Say what you know.”
A slime-like mass of memories wriggled. It seemed to resemble the gestures of contemplating how to answer when a person is asked a difficult question.
─About the secret history of the Great War… Is it… ?
“If that’s a secret Romania wants to hide.”
—… Hit. Romania is my… Our country was once the enemy of mankind.
Enemy of mankind?
─End of the Golden Age… Atlantis was corrupted by the power of the sea god.
As we were at a loss for words at the absurdly grandiose expression, the shadow spoke.
——The Hittites gave an excuse to open a door that shouldn’t be opened… Atlantis, which served the god of the sea, was cursed and destroyed by the arrogance and sins it had built up on its own…
“Wait a minute, Stop. What did the Hittites do?”
When I asked for an explanation after a pause, the shadow swayed and replied.
─Research on a different level… But I don’t know what they noticed. The only firm result is that the most prosperous human race has been destroyed by internal strife and external enemies…
“… Did Romania cling to that ‘foreign enemy’?”
─That’s right…
I concluded with half intuition and half reasoning, and I heard the answer that I was right.
This is the part I guessed so far. Even during the Atlantis conference, I said it painfully.
“Great. Do you recognize who this human is?”
I took out a rune stone.
Romania’s original sin as mentioned in the Atlantis Conference. The shadow paused when a video was shown of an old man talking to his subordinates as if commanding them.
-That old man… The emperor of the 4th generation after the Great War. That must have been an order to the soldiers at the time to completely erase the records devastated by the Great War…
You said you used the rune stone as an order.
Well, it’s a forgotten feature after the Age of Gods. Even Veronica, who had studied for a long time, seemed to have applied the recording function itself, which she hadn’t realized.
“The emperor of Romania in the past tried to erase the country’s mistakes and erase history?”
─It’s not past tense… I am still doing that…
The shadow readily spoke no matter what expression we were making.
──When humanity stood together as one, Romania betrayed by holding the hand of its foreign enemy… The covert betrayal was discovered only at the tail end of the Great War, so it was easy to destroy the evidence…
I clicked my tongue.
It is a period comparable to nuclear war, when an entire civilization has been blown away.
The number of documents titled ‘The Romanian Bastards Betrayed’, which was written hastily during the war, must have been very low as it was a top secret. It would have been easy to get rid of.
But a sensible answer did not lessen the shock of the truth.
“Wars between nations and between humans are ‘infighting’?”
Tyrsi muttered, stuttering his words. I put on a puzzled expression.
“I thought that Erin, Atlantis, and Hittites fought and perished without reaching a compromise… You said it was just a prequel to the fuck of humanity?”
─That’s right… A civilization devastated by war could not stand the struggle against foreign enemies with no end point… Romania, which was one step away from the war, cooperated with them in anticipation of catastrophe…
“This Mr. So, what is the other enemy?”
—I repeat, I don’t know, I don’t know… Because he was a Hittite who observed in another dimension… I can only guess that the external enemy is also a being from another world…
“I’m going crazy and freaking out.”
In the end, the important thing is that you don’t know what the fuck is.
Being of another world Does it have anything to do with the toads you caught before leaving Azteca?
Having a headache, I noticed that there were only things I had been curious about for a long time, and only questions that I needed to know. Holding back a sigh, I asked the shadow.
“Is Baron Sellustia a survivor of that ‘foreign enemy’?”
… Tall.
Deed deed deed… !!
The shadow hardened like a stain on a wall, then began to tremble violently.
─That’s right.
The impression of the voice changed. Is it the memory of the baron?
But what if non-human creatures make human sounds?
It was hard to even listen. Animals may have been looking at humans who clumsily imitate animal cries with this feeling.
─The royal family of Romania are those who mingled with us and received our blood.
“Are bastards like you still hiding in the imperial family?”
─That’s right, but it’s a little different.
The baron’s fragmented memories giggled.
—Uuuuu, we will soon be the consensus of Romania. It was easy enough to run the kingdom of insects according to your taste.
“… Did you say bugs?”
For a moment, as if she was in tears, Tirshi looked at me with his expression completely gone.
“Nord.”
“Yep.”
I answered quickly. I understand you’re upset, but you’re kind of scary.
“Greatly… I regret it. It should have been my job to kill this guy.”
“Sister~? Am I a Romanian first of all? It’s the same as being angry.”
Tirshi nodded as Lari Lura made her eyes go cold.
“It was. It was a mistake. I should have gone with you.”
“Aha♡ What was simpler than creating a country overflowing with orphans and overflowing with corruption? I guess I should have made you go through a little more pain♡!”
Scary, scary Rarilu and Tirsi have both experienced it, so anger is no joke. I said this to appease the anger of the wives from Romania.
“Calm down. Aren’t there still more guys like him?”
“No, that’s right! You should save your anger and vent it later, Nor said!”
Starting with me and Fran, the wives began to soothe Lalilura and Tirthy in a hurry. Perhaps thanks to their efforts, they were also able to control their anger.
Watching Tyrsi soothe her stomach with cold water, I suddenly started to feel bad.
Fucking bastards really. I stared disgustingly at the mass of memories, then brought my fist to the shadow’s face. Beast Return’s mana bloomed wildly.
“Are you familiar with this magic, the magic of returning beasts?”
Sub-regression. Magic imitating the sky god.
However, now that there is a possibility that the ‘sky god’ is not the Odin we know, this was a question that must be asked of the baron’s memory.
“Why do the side effects of this spell turn people into monsters?”
On the other hand, it was something I had been curious about for a long time.
Magic imitating Odin turns humans into beasts.
‘I understood a lot and moved on, but… ‘
The only side effect of Beast Return was that I was able to endure it because I was an Earthling.
However, if there was a defect that ‘becomes a beast as a side effect’ from the beginning, it is normal that it should not spread widely. How can side effects suddenly pop out only when there are tens of thousands of clinical trial patients?
‘It’s a sophistry. It’s not a virus with an incubation period.’
I thought I knew the answer to this question before I knew it.
“Long after Odin died, some son of a bitch sat on Odin’s throne in the ancient Golden Age. Since he became ‘Odin’, hasn’t the beast return that imitates Odin also deteriorated?”
That was the reason.
The reason why Beast Return had side effects that weren’t originally there.
──It was the influence of our god who sat on the heavenly throne that caused the mutation.
The baron’s memory wriggled hazy. As if confirming my guess.
─The rune, the power of Odin, has been corrupted, and the Jujujutsu of beast return, which ‘prays to the heavenly god’, has been transformed into receiving the power of our god.
“Odin, who foresaw this in life, sealed it so that humans could not use runes?”
─That’s why humans can’t deal with the true meaning of this rune.
This is the answer I expected.
I turned off Beast Return while using Oman Sang.
“The seat of Odin I know is now eaten by some Seaphallum.”
—… Because the god of Uuri has been pulled down from his throne. The one who put an end to the Great War closed the throne and took his seat.
It was only the memories of the dead, but I felt a lot of anger from the shadow who said that.
——The human who fought against us, bringing Letitia, the princess of Atlantis, Magidora, the prophet of the past, and the cowardly Crown Crown. However, in the end, the Hittite prince rose to power arrogantly.
“… Name is?”
The shaking of the mass of memories stopped.
—Sigurd Kanesh Hittite.
Go round and round, that’s it.
I let out all my emotions with a long sigh.
‘… Is this enough?’
There was only one question left.
I made eye contact with my wives and took out my shoes.
“Do you know what this feather is?”
—… The Hittite’s throne is seen as an object that opens the dimensional wall. If you use it in the right place, the door will open.
“It’s like the source of a curse on our clan.”
It was just as Veronica said.
Is the Hittite capital located in the dimensional rift? Go to the appropriate location and use this feather. Thinking that far, I patted my stiff neck.
“There’s really nothing really easy.”
It might be better to go here later. I have a feeling that if I empty my brain and run without thinking, I’m going to get fucked.
A very hard level max level dungeon.
It’s still too early to head into the ground.
