Chapter 450 - Episode Ninety-Six - The End of the Story (1)
A week has passed since the defeat of the Sky God Silfheim.
Ive already returned to the Fage territory, and today I was walking the corridors of Larks mansion alongside Mea.
We were scheduled to meet someone in the guest room.
But Im glad that Lark-san forgave me so easily. Hes not the type to talk too strongly, so to be honest, I expected him to.
When I returned to Fage territory, Lark was as kind as ever.
I had done all I could do and spit on him, but he accepted me easily and almost let me off scot-free.
As expected of Lark-san, he has very generous pockets.
And just the other day, I happened to see Euris advising Lark, If I dont tell him more, you dont know what Abel-dono will do!.
Lark told her, Even if I say something, he wont listen anyway, so Ill try not to offend him. Even if hes doing something a little dangerous, in the end youll be safest near Abel-kun. Even if the church were to challenge Abel-kun with half the world on its side, Abel-kun would probably win. At least Peter-sama and Alta-san will say something to him, and well indulge Abel-kun at best, its in the interest of the territory.
This is indeed an overestimation, but I wonder what Lark thinks of me.
Lark-san, I thought you were a mild-mannered, hard-working person, but you may be quite a cunning person
Mea muttered quietly.
Really?
That said, the Barony of Fage was said to have Larks grandfather as its first generation.
His grandfathers achievements were recognized and he became a baron.
It was Larks grandfather who prepared the dangerous grimoires in the warehouse of Larks mansion, as well as the secret meeting room that was equipped with a magic formula to prevent interception.
Since Lark is descended from such a grandfather, he may have a surprisingly cunning side to him.
The fact that a painting of Count Julem was found in Larks grandfathers collection is also a little suspicious now.
Count Julem is generally regarded as a kind of bizarre story, and the painting itself was regarded as worthless by experts.
However, if the painting was really drawn after seeing Count Julem, then it could not be dismissed as a worthless occult painting.
Considering his other core interests in magic, it was hard to believe that Larks grandfather was just an occultist.
I wonder if Larks grandfather knew that Count Julem actually existed.
Lark was tricked and toyed with by Marias, but I guess that was a bad match.
The four great priests, Marias and Nelgliffe, were the two tops who were controlling the Riveras Kingdom under the direction of the fake Levi - Med.
Nelgliffe had given me a lot of grief as well.
If that old raccoon had been a little more wary of me, there is a good chance that I would have been tricked and killed without knowing anything about it.
By the way I was surprised that the collector was engaged to be married.
It was unexpected Wasnt that guy unhappy because Iris-san dumped him??
Yes, I was surprised to hear this after I came back to the Fage territory, but that collector got engaged in the Fage territory.
Its not that long ago that he was discarded as a pimp by that female merchant Iris.
The other party is Ela, the sign girl of the tavern Dwarfs Lair.
I heard that he was addicted to alcohol after being abandoned, did they become friends there?
I wonder if Ela-chan is okay ? Mea is a little worried.
U-Uhn~ I dont know
Theres nothing good about that guy except his face.
Hes got a face that hes been trying to make look younger with a very expensive drink called Amrita, but hes a norks grandpa with a real age of over 300
I arrived at the guest room with Mea.
Peter and Myunhi, who had just arrived at the building, were standing in line near the entrance.
I see so it was Peter who summoned me.
I could mostly guess what the convention will be about.
The only thing Peter wants to hear from me is about the conclusion with the sky god Silfheim.
And about firing the Abel cannon.
Ive already told several people, including Altamir, that the magic wave tower weapon is not yet complete, and even if it is, I dont plan to use it because of the potential negative impact it could have on the world.
It would be impossible to keep it a secret now.
However, I couldnt break through Silfheims Red Dream without using the Abel cannon, so youll have to forgive me for that.
The only reason I decided to shoot it was for the safety of me and Mea, but if I hadnt shot it there, there would have been no other way to break through.
Its not just the accuracy of the Red Dream that is lax, its the world altering ability that has no restrictions, and the fucking cheat specification that will blow up the world if you accumulate damage halfway.
Kudor, who was built to protect the world, would never be able to defeat the Silfheim.
Silfheim had surpassed Kudor in pure power alone, but the Red Dream was also the strongest Kudor meta ability imaginable.
On top of this, he was planning a world war that would have involved all of humanity just to drag Kudor down, so once again, Silfheims obsession is terrifying.
His defeat from Kudor ten thousand years ago must have been too much for him.
Well, it was all in vain, wasnt it?
Here you are, Abel-chan. Im so glad you came out to see me.
No, no, Im sorry to keep you waiting so long, I know you wanted to hear the story from me as soon as possible.
As we talked, we walked into the guest room.
It cant be helped. The last time I overcame Baron Larks objections and stormed into Abel-chans room, but you werent in any condition to talk. Mea kicked me out right away at the time, though but you dont even remember, do you, Abel-chan?
Thats right I had been hit by the backlash of the Gouma the day before.
In addition to the various body-healing potions, I thought that if I could put my bodys nerves into complete sleep along with my consciousness through sorcery for a couple of days, I would be able to overcome my suffering, so I practiced it, but when I successfully woke up three days later, I was covered all over by intense pain.
I dont remember much, but I heard that I was delirious while lying in bed.
It was only yesterday that I was able to talk and walk properly.
I really bothered Mea, who nursed me all that time.
Although maybe its because of Gouma, I feel like Ive gained a little more muscle than before.
But if I use it for training purposes, its likely to reduce my lifespan.
Ive heard some of this from Mea-chan and Baron Lark, but there are plenty of things Id like to confirm with you directly.
Peter touched the back of the seat and asked us to sit on the chair.
Hahaha Im sure you are.
At that moment, even though the windows were not open, there was a sudden gust of wind in the guest room.
In one of the seats in the guest room sat a beautiful woman with long hair and slit eyes who had not been there before.
She lifted her fingers and tapped on the desk.
I, too, would like to hear it from you. I didnt expect him to be gone when I rushed back. Take your seat quickly.
I felt a chill run down my spine.
Peter had already seen her before, and his back straightened immediately.
I, It looks like youve returned from the seal Kudor-sama.
When I was at a loss for words, Kudor glared at me.
Is there a problem?
N, no, not at all!
