MEMORIZE Chapter 864

00864 D-Day, Five. ————————————————– ———————-=

“hmm… . “Is this the same opinion, Melinus?”

Lord Carpe Diem, who had been holding his tongue for a while, looked away. Perhaps because the other person was a renowned prophet, or perhaps because he felt the atmosphere had become more hostile, his tone of voice was much more gentle than before.

After a while, Melinus, who had been looking in the direction where Natalie had disappeared, slowly withdrew his gaze.

“As I first said, this is a place to see the reactions and hear opinions from not only us, but also the lords.”

“is it so? “I actively agree with it.”

“Why?”

“Because I agreed with user Ian’s explanation. Actually, there have been a few times when I felt frustrated watching Odin’s actions… . Oh, don’t get me wrong. “It’s just that I was dissatisfied, that doesn’t mean it was wrong.”

Lord Carpe Diem hastily corrected his words, “Hmm.” I cleared my throat and continued speaking.

“I am. What I just heard was very impressive. Before we are people, we are users. … is it so. We are users. Players who operate on the hole plane.”

“Oh, of course, I’m not saying we should give up being human. But didn’t Ian do that? “It’s not just for our own benefit, it’s for the benefit of the entire southern continent.”

“Movies? “Of course it’s good, it’s good!”

“Then let’s think about it this way. As Ian said, what if competition over the center is inevitable? What if, a few years from now, today’s speculation becomes reality and a war on the Four Continents breaks out? So, if you end up having to kill each other, what will you do then? “Who should I blame for missing this great opportunity?”

Lord Carpe Diem told all this very quickly.

“Well, I understand your reluctance. “Because they are very just people.”

“I also agree with some of Carpe Diem Road’s opinions.”

It was then. The eyes of the man who was in the middle of an impassioned speech widened at the sudden voice that interrupted. It wasn’t because he was interrupted in the middle of speaking, but it seemed like it was probably due to some other reason.

“… yes?”

“why?”

When I asked a question in confusion, a woman wearing a loose purple gown smiled elegantly.

“Olivia… . “No, Elphin Lord?”

“yes?”

“Did you just say you agree with me?”

“no? “I said I didn’t completely agree, but I sympathized with some of it.”

The Carpe Diem Lord looked around awkwardly at the seemingly sly words. The knights of the round table also looked almost surprised. Nox and Carpe Diem are clans with strong belligerence to begin with, so you may agree. However, the reaction was that they did not expect that even Elphin Road would agree.

“It’s just as you said. If war is inevitable in the future, attacking now would be the best option rather than waiting for your rival to become stronger. Logically, there is no problem. step.”

Olivia, who had been speaking quietly, suddenly predicted a twist at the end.

“The problem is, all of this is still just speculation.”

It was like that. No matter how likely a prediction is, it is meaningless if it is not certain. This is especially true in the big issue of war. Perhaps this might have been enough in the Western Continent, which was steeped in murder and plunder.

However, the southern continent values ​​rationality over emotions. Just ‘because I’m a user.’ This means that it is not enough. Although it may appeal to you, there is a good chance that it can be taken as speculation.

“So I thought about it carefully. Why did this story suddenly come out? Then, the words I heard at the beginning of the meeting really bothered me.”

“If that’s what you heard at the beginning… .”

“The purpose for which the angel summoned us and our relationship with each other. “I would rather pay attention to that.”

“… … .”

Then Ian relaxed his frozen face and smiled mysteriously.

“therefore.”

Olivia glanced at Eldora, who had her eyes closed the whole time, and then looked back at Melinus.

“I think Odin’s true purpose lies elsewhere.”

“… … .”

“for example… . “Is it okay to say, ‘Let’s take a look’?”

“haha… .”

At that time, Melinus opened his mouth and burst into empty laughter. She has a mischievous smile on her face, like a child who has been caught pranking.

“I did it just in case, but still. “Wow, I don’t think I can be defeated by the Elfin Lord.”

He shakes his head a couple of times and then slowly brushes his beard.

“As expected, it was like that.”

“wait a minute. So you’re saying it’s just something you said once? “Why is the atmosphere suddenly like this?”

As Olivia nodded quietly, Carpe Diem Lord suddenly joined in.

“no. “That’s not it.”

Ian, who had regained his usual gentle face, calmly sat down and shook his head.

“Didn’t I tell you the purpose of this place several times before?”

Melinus also spoke as if admonishing and agreed with Ian’s words. Then he looked back at Olivia and continued.

“You really saw it well. Of course, it’s not everything, but it’s undeniable that it’s one of the key points. “The main purpose of today’s meeting is to reveal the true intentions of angels.”

“Good idea. “They may be using us as puppets, but we need to hear the angel’s point of view anyway.”

“yes. Just because you reverse an incorrect proposition, there is no law that makes it unconditionally true.”

“Wait a minute, wait a minute. “Am I the only one who can’t keep up?”

In the midst of the conversation, Lord Carpe Diem asked with a blank expression. However, unlike before, those who turn their heads quickly say ‘Ah.’ It had a light like that. However, as if she knew that there were still some who did not understand, Olivia opened her mouth.

“You did that earlier, right? It’s still just speculation. In other words, I want to gain confidence. Because angels have the answer. And in the process of obtaining it, we will use some kind of method. “Personally, I think it’s better to try to trick people like this rather than asking them directly.”

Still, when he still looked like he didn’t know, he clicked his tongue and continued speaking.

“I will just decide based on the angel’s reaction or attitude. “You can think of it this way.”

“Huh, really.”

“You still don’t know?”

“no. So let’s do it or not. “What are you telling us to do?”

Then, a few people smiled wryly, probably because they thought they couldn’t communicate at all. It was then.

“… “Ian.”

A quiet voice suddenly sounded. At that voice, the eyes of everyone on the table focused on one place.

Eldora, who had been silent until a moment ago, suddenly opened her eyes. The eyes, which seem to have gathered all the light that exists in this world, shine brightly as if they were heated. As his eyes scanned the table, Soran, who had been squirming for a moment, quickly lowered his head.

After a while.

“Then let’s end the meeting here… . “Before you die, I will convey the most important information to you.”

The man called by Eldora opened his mouth.

“The most important information?”

“So, I have a favor to ask.”

In response to the cautious question, Ian grinned.

“For this plan to succeed, we need your help.”

*

A light knocking sound was heard. It wasn’t that loud, but the surroundings were so quiet that you could definitely hear it. However, no reaction is heard from inside the room. Then the person standing outside the door waited a little longer, knocked once more, and then carefully opened the door.

“I’m going in.”

The old man who came in saying that was Melinus. He walks while holding his white beard, which he has always cherished, as if shaking it was a bother.

There is one more person in the room. no. It felt very foreign to a human being, but in any case, she appeared to be a woman with long black hair.

“Thanatos. “The meeting just ended.”

Thanatos, sitting at a messy desk, was engrossed in something, fiddling with something with his hands. He raises his eyes briefly, but then starts moving his hands again. However, he added one word.

“How was it?”

“If you’re talking about reaction… . “It’s very bad.”

I take a quick glance. However, Thanatos’ expression does not change at all.

“Pax Lord stormed out, saying it was nonsense, and Natalie also left during the meeting.”

“… … .”

“I didn’t say anything in particular, but it seems like the majority of the knights at the Round Table are displeased. Olivia intervened appropriately and she barely managed to push through… .”

“… … .”

The calm explanation suddenly became blurred. Melinus momentarily looked away. The scenery outside the window was slowly becoming dusk, but the red light still remained.

However, the room was strangely dark. Did he feel pressured by the dark silence that descended everywhere? Melinus did not dare to open his mouth and just waited quietly for Thanatos to speak.

How much time has passed?

While the quiet air gently tightens my body,

“I see.”

Finally, an indifferent voice came out.

“Well, that is.”

As soon as Melinus opened his mouth, he realized that he had been holding his breath.

“It’s so urgent.”

I let out a breath and spoke with difficulty.

“so?”

“… yes?”

“So, what are we going to do?”

“Well, just take a little more time… .”

Melinus’ voice trembled, as if he had made a big mistake. As of this moment, the two had returned to being Belial and Satan, not Melinus and Thanatos.

I’m only saying this because I’m usually trusted and the 14th Demon Lord, but if I were a creature, I wouldn’t have dared to say it out loud.

“I thought it was an order that had already been completed. “Have I ever told you that after getting this body, I developed a hobby of speaking twice?”

“Oh, no. Just like I said earlier.”

“The die was cast from the moment we entered the world. “I said I would accept the confusion.”

“… … .”

“Or are you just waiting for time and hoping that one day you will suddenly be found out and killed? “I don’t think there’s anything more funny than that.”

“We are aware of the situation. But you just have to be careful. All you have to do is not get caught. I don’t want it to be like it was in the Western Continent. Just, just a little more… .”

Melinus, who had spoken up to this point, closed his eyes tightly.

“Actually, I feel a bit sad too.”

At the same time, the tone of voice heard from in front was unexpectedly agreeable. However, the moment she opened her eyes with half-confidence, Melinus quickly took a breath after seeing a cold smile. Because it was clearly a mockery.

“But, I think the Northern Continent will reach the Temple of Promise by then. So, can we just suck our fingers and watch in the Southern Continent, where we succeeded in changing our route, albeit late?”

“Well, that is.”

“Or else. “If you rush after him without being able to control the chaos, you’ll end up getting crushed.”

“Say, Satan!”

At that moment, boom! A loud crashing sound rang out. Melanus shivered and reflexively lowered her eyes.

“It’s Thanatos.”

In the quiet room, a cold and somber voice rang out.

A breathtaking silence. A rustling sound continued for a moment. The noise didn’t last long.

“The plan does not change. D-Day and the conquest of the East Continent. “All is proceeding as scheduled.”

Thanatos, who eventually scolded in a harsh and cold voice, suddenly threw something in his hand. It was a small, common bag that could be seen everywhere.

Melinus, who barely managed to catch it, looked ahead with astonished eyes. The surrounding area, which was cluttered with various objects, has become a little cleaner. It seems like the things that were cluttering the desk just a moment ago ended up in this bag.

“This… .”

“I watched it with Lucifer the other day, but the angel definitely made something interesting. You can deliver it to Eldora on D-Day. “I believe the horse will take care of itself.”

Then, a look crossed Melinus’s eyes.

“Surely you succeeded? “Is that why you brought your plans forward?”

“It was difficult with this guy’s strength. So I used some of my strength. If you are just a little sincere, you will feel like an angel… .”

It was that moment. While speaking, Thanatos’ eyes suddenly shook. However, when the other person saw that he was preoccupied by looking into the bag, he secretly lowered his hand.

So, Melinus could not see. Under the desk, my slender forearm was vibrating like crazy, incomparable to a tremor.

“yes? “You used the power of Thanatos?”

After a while, Melinus asked back. His reaction was a little late, perhaps because he was checking the contents of the bag.

“Uhm. Oh, by the way, what about Erwin? “I don’t think he’ll be back for quite some time.”

“Maybe so. From what I’ve heard, it seems like they are staying for a long time because they are involved in selecting a fairy queen.”

“She’s a fairy queen… . “Is it really that important?”

“yes. “I don’t know why, but the fairy race seems to regard the queen as very sacred.”

“is it. Come to think of it, I think I heard that the southern continent and fairies are allies.”

“you’re right. “I understand that you received indirect support during the attack on the Orc Castle.”

Thanatos was lost in thought for a moment, then tilted his head.

“hmm… . The fairy queen. “I think it might help at least a little bit.”

“The moment you receive recognition from the Thorn Crown, all spirits bow their heads. … According to legend, the first queen, Alceste’s blow was enough to split the ocean in half.”

“Hehe. “That’s a gross exaggeration.”

“That’s because it’s a legend in the first place. However, since there is a record that it is more than a one-man army, it would be a good idea to consider using alliance relationships.”

“I guess so. I have one regret right now. Well, I guess I have to worry about D-Day first.”

“then… .”

So the topic naturally shifted to attracting fairies.

… It’s obvious, but I had no idea how this plan or this choice would turn out in the future.
