observer of the world (2)

At the same time as the man bends down, an armchair appears from the empty air and supports his body.

In front of the man who casually sat cross-legged, the boy slowly opened his mouth.

“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.

“Even in the church, only a few people, including the priestess, know about it. How did you know?”

“… … .”

“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?”

Guidora is only bound by one doctrine, but the bond or intimacy between the apostles, who are called extreme 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, so wide and huge, that nothing can be seen through it… … . 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 had come 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 shake off the madness and stand up for this alone.

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 six apostles he had known the longest had disappeared, which must mean that he had a direct will.”

“… … .”

“If he decides to vacate the seat of the useless apostle, I want to be next.”

The boy’s eyelids trembled as he closed his eyes.

“Honestly, 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.

“The case of the six apostles was a very special situation, and you should also know 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?

Ironically, all those answers were not given to the apostle himself, but to the religious leader and priestess.

“He is different from you who isolate yourself even in the church. He deserved a comfortable death.”

“Right… … . understood.”

The boy meekly agreed.

The man looked down at the boy, got up from his seat, and smiled.

“But your doctor knew better. Let him know what you want.”

“… … .”

“Looking at the circumstances, I think there might be a suitable seat.”

“where?”

“Megacity Balkan.”

The eyes of the 2 apostles, who had corrected their glasses, were infinitely cold.

“The head of the Northeast Branch was also sent there and was martyred. I need to check what is happening in the Balkans now.”

Click, click.

Rabatenon University. Aris Richelen’s lab.

In the quiet laboratory room, only the sound of the brain spirit clicking on the keyboard echoed.

Dabi, who was sitting with a coil on top of her laptop and pounding the keyboard non-stop, spat out a voice.

[Master, is this what you are writing right now?]

“what do you mean?”

[I don’t understand what you’re talking about while writing it down.]

Saying that, Darby jumped on top of Lennok’s head, who was reading.

[If I’m at this level, other stupid organisms won’t even understand what I’m talking about.]

“I purposely made up a complicated phrase and wrote it down. Rather, I’m glad you don’t understand.”

[What do you mean by that?]

Putting down the book Lennok was holding, he replied.

“Doesn’t that mean that the words are so twisted that even the brain spirit’s logic circuit can’t properly interpret them?”

At that, Darby took Lennok’s hair in her mouth and pulled it wildly.

[I don’t have a logic circuit. There is only superior intellect that transcends organisms!]

“… … You’re joking, right?”

Sometimes I really worry that if Lennok disappears and Darby is left alone in this world, a more dystopia than now will unfold.

Darby grunted and nodded.

[Enjoying black humor is a characteristic of higher intelligence. Masters need to sharpen their sense of humor more!]

“It’s not black humor, it’s just black.”

Lennok smiled and shook his head.

“Anyway, I wrote about the practicality of entropy energy theory, so it’s okay. Because the current part will be included in the appendix.”

[It’s a bad habit of humans to focus on dessert even though I haven’t finished writing the text.]

Lennok grabbed both of Darby’s cheeks, stretched them out, and answered.

“The theories and contents to be written in the main body have been decided for a long time, so I am just paying attention to the original intention of this thesis.”

[Original intention?]

“It’s a message.”

said Lennok.

“For those who, after reading this paper from cover to cover, will understand what I was thinking when I wrote this paper.”

Although the words are grandiose, it is nothing more than a futile idea as there are still some schedules left until the expo.

Lennok put the book down, got up from his chair, and stretched out.

“Before the fair, the dean asked me to come over for a moment. I have to go now. From what I’ve heard, it’s said that candidates need to be screened inside the school… … ”

[There must have been protests from the sons of noble families that they had to go through the proper procedures as they represented Rabatenon University.]

“How do you know that?”

Darby tilted her head rather strangely at Lennok’s question.

[Yeah… … Because it was hacked?]

“… … .”

It’s not that I don’t trust Darby, but it’s an undeniable fact that sometimes I wonder if there might be a need for rules that match the abilities of this wild brain spirit.

While I was immersed in thinking about whether I should report the first candidate and teach Dabi the manual, the ringtone on my cell phone started ringing in the locker in the lab.

Lennok frowned slightly.

“Did you put your phone in your coat? … Darby, who are you?”

Dabi said without even looking at her phone.

[I am a lighthouse keeper.]

“… … what?”

Lennok stood up, quickly rummaged through his coat in the locker, and took his phone.

[…] … Evan?]

Lapis’s voice was heard faintly over the communication network.

Somewhere, unlike usual, it is slightly sunken.

[long time no see. Can I talk to you for a minute about what I said before? It’s an important story.]

Lennok naturally blocked his surroundings with noise magic and slightly averted his gaze.

“Long time no see. I received the message I sent you the other day.”

[I’m glad it helped. Did you hear what happened in the jungle?]

Lennok thought about it for a moment, then agreed.

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 already heard about the situation going back.]

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 take it easy and escape.

There is a possibility that it would seem rather strange not to ask Lapis about this.

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 is more of a skeptical advice that only touches things for which the outcome has already been determined.]

one who walks backwards It was quite a metaphorical analogy, but Lennok immediately understood what it meant.

It was because he clearly remembered that at the time he met the leader at the end of the labyrinth, Ermong, who was lying down with him, muttered something similar to that.

It must have been the word referring to the Pandemonium leader, 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 work myself, but I felt keenly what that word meant.]

“What do you mean?”

[The huge commotion in the jungle started and ended at the hands of the leader, and I watched the ending together.]

“… … .”

[Whether intentionally or unwillingly, at least now I couldn’t face him head-on.]

The young lighthouse keeper couldn’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, and in the meantime, he must have crossed with the lighthouse.

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 the identity, but he did not even have a chance to interrogate the fact.

‘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 Ascendants collided and one of them fled out of the world was only part of a plan to reap the seeds sown to 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… … .”

I let out a low breath and leaned back in the chair, the old chair in the lab making 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 it should.]

Through the communication network, it felt like Lapis was smiling bitterly.

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 to the central front, gathering power and reputation?

Lapis, too, did not hesitate to get to the point.

[There is something I want to show Evan.]

To those words that calmed down, Lennok immediately responded.

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 it is enough to say that the message is producing results directly, it must mean that the operation is on the verge of being successfully completed.

Naturally, I thought he had 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, it was practically the same as the operation was over.]

“… … .what?”

[The reason I contacted Evan today is no different… … .]

Having said that, Lapis was silent for a long time.

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.]
