# The main characters only I know episode 320
After the memorial service, Gardian became much busier than before.
Everyone went back to their homes and took out the weapons that had been buried in a corner for a long time.
It has been 32 years since the curse of frozen land occurred.
Excluding the children born during that time, most people had already experienced struggles with the world.
Axes, spears, swords, bows, shields, etc.
A heavy, passionate, yet resolute will was present in every home.
In the forge, rune stones were constantly burning and emitting high heat. The sound of a hammer striking iron echoed throughout the night. The rust peeled off and the weapons began to regain their luster.
Hot smoke came out of the chimney and went up beyond the magic circle.
The heat mixed with the cold created pure white steam. Gardian was covered in pure white steam.
“In the end, you end up fighting.”
“Do you regret it?”
“any.”
Lean, who was looking down at the scene from high up in the spire, smiled bitterly and nodded at Yuhyeon’s question.
“But, you can’t give it up. Because the choice has already been made. I don’t know if this is right or wrong. Because no one knows what will happen. But at least I’m confident that I’ll regret it less than if I avoided the fight.”
“Why did you bring me here anyway?”
Yuhyeon was the first to climb to the top of the spire. If there was a building like this, there was bound to be a way up, but it was clear that places like this were usually difficult to get to unless you had valuable power sources like Gondulbor.
Lean invited Yuhyeon to such a place.
“Because I wanted to show you.”
“You wanted to show me? “What?”
“The hidden truth.”
Lean said that and suggested that we go downstairs.
Lean continued his explanation as he went down the endless spiral staircase.
“Originally, I wanted to keep it to myself and not tell anyone.”
“What’s under the spire?”
“okay. “The altar that embodies the magic circle exists beneath this spire.”
“You said that the altar is a place where the five great sisters come down from heaven and later ascend to heaven when they select the next candidate for the Holy Spirit, right? But was that place still there?”
“okay. Remains. It never went away from the beginning. And I hid it for a long time.”
“Why on earth?”
“Because it wasn’t good for other people to know.”
“Are you saying I’m okay?”
Leanne nodded.
There was no hesitation in letting Yuhyeon know the truth that had been hidden from others until now.
At first, he was more suspicious than anyone else, but after Yuhyeon found the hidden path and told him that the curse of the frozen land came from Georn.
No, not since then, when he reminded me.
Leanne decided to believe in hope.
The stairs leading to the basement eventually came to an end. What led inside was a cave made of ice.
“It’s this warm, but the ice doesn’t melt.”
“Originally, it was a clogged iceberg. “At least this warmth made its way.”
How long did you walk along the road? The intense energy felt from within seemed to become stronger, and soon a large cavity appeared.
There was an altar in the center of the cavity, and four stone statues stood around the altar.
However, there is only one stone statue that is in good condition. The remaining three statues had already collapsed, making it difficult to recognize their traces.
“What is that?”
“Five great sisters. No, I guess I should call them your sisters now.”
“yes?”
Didn’t they say they all died and disappeared?
Yuhyeon looked at the last remaining stone statue.
The height is about 12m.
It was a stone statue wearing dress-like armor, holding the handle of a thick greatsword with both hands and sticking it into the ground.
The face could not be seen because it was covered with cotton, but the energy flowing from the statue itself was sacred.
That energy was gathered in the center of the altar.
“Is that a sword?”
Floating in the center of the altar was a sword.
It was a sword that could only be described as plain, without any decorations. The energy flowing from that sword was unusual.
It was the sword floating on the altar, not the stone statue, that created the passage and gave strength to the Gardian magic circle.
“What is that?”
“Key sword. “The last candidate has the qualifications to choose.”
“If it is a qualification, that of the next Holy Spirit?”
“right. That sword is the power Georn has reserved for his next Holy Spirit candidate.”
“That’s Georn’s power?”
It was quite hopeful news.
Because they were saying that Georn, who is currently at the far end of the north, does not have full power.
The Holy Spirit certainly fell like that, but there was no guarantee that he would have retained his original strength.
If that sword was part of Georn’s remaining power, it made sense that Lean was determined to fight.
“I just need to bring that sword?”
“okay. “But there is an important problem.”
Lean pointed to the last remaining stone statue.
“You can’t even touch that key sword without the approval of the five sisters.”

“Five sisters, then that statue?”
“The youngest of five sisters. “It’s Fiold.”
Lean smiled bitterly, as if he remembered meeting her in the past.
“He was also the one who hated and loathed me, who was weaker than anyone else.”
“You said all five sisters are dead, so why is the youngest one still there?”
“Not all five sisters died. Exactly, except for her, Kayla, the other four came back alive.”
Leanne confessed something that happened 32 years ago.
The four candidates and five sisters set out to solve the curse of the frozen land, after realizing that they have failed.
One day, four powers flew towards Lean.
Leanne recognized that it was the five sisters and asked happily.
‘Great sisters. Are you back again? What is the curse of frozen soil? ‘Have you solved it?’
However, the answer that came back completely shattered Lean’s expectations.
[no. We failed.]
[The curse of frozen ground could not be prevented.]
[Great power. We couldn’t even resist.]
[We barely escaped.]
As the sisters spoke one by one, Leanne realized that one of the five sisters was missing.
‘Keira. What about Keira? What is she… … .’
[There is no older sister.]
[Eldest sister sacrificed herself to send us here.]
[okay. To somehow save people.]
‘Saving people?’
[Lean. Half-penny candidate. We can’t last long. We are alive right now, but if we continue like this, our bodies will collapse and we will die.]
The remaining four sisters eventually made a decision.
If I go on like this and die, I will leave behind the last spark of hope.
They headed to the altar where they had come down from heaven. Then, each person stood in their designated spot and gathered all their remaining strength.
‘Sisters! ‘What on earth are you trying to do!’
[What we must do.]
[What my eldest sister wanted.]
[Protecting the world.]
The size of the sisters grew bigger and bigger, and eventually their bodies began to slowly turn into stone.
[Even if we use the remaining power of the key sword, we must keep the last of humanity alive.]
[Lean. I have no expectations from you. But at least as a candidate, be sure to do this one thing.]
[Use this power to form survivors. And wait for the second coming of a hero who may be reborn in the future.]
[Even if it’s something simple, I hope you do it right.]
The four sisters said so and applied force to the altar. At the same time, the sword that the youngest Fjold was holding in his arms floated and stood tall in the center of the altar.
Pouring out all of the power of the key sword and their remaining strength, the four sisters hardened into stone statues.
At the same time, the ground around the altar shook greatly and began to sink, causing a tectonic shift.
Lean could only look at the scene in despair.
Afterwards, Lean followed their wishes and formed Gardian.
“Have you ever thought it was strange? How was I able to gather the power of the altar? “Even if we borrowed the power of Keira’s disciple, Gondulbor, we would not have been able to create a magic circle that could sustain this large city for 100 years.”
All the reasons were right here.
This power was the last bastion created by the four sisters who eventually returned from defeat in the battle and sacrificed themselves.
Their eldest sister, Keira, thought Leanne was their last hope, but the other four did not think so.
Lean is half-hearted and a coward who is afraid of fighting.
Rather than entrusting all my strength to Lean, I had no choice but to pray that new possibilities might emerge.
“I don’t think their choice was wrong. Certainly, even if I had been given strength back then, I wouldn’t have been able to fight properly. “Maybe I ruined everything with my own hands.”
So Lean hid the altar in the basement.
It was no good to know that the Great Sisters maintained this magic circle because they could not trust themselves. At the same time, Lean himself vaguely sympathized with their opinions.
If a great hero, other than myself, is born in this Gardian someday.
I decided to leave everything to him.
“But as time passed, such a person did not appear.”
Fritzen? Rahiyan? Although they were certainly great warriors, they were not heroes.
Even if Lean is half-hearted, he is the man chosen to be the next Holy Spirit. Lean’s insight could not have been wrong.
32 years have passed like that.
The sisters, hardened into stone statues, could not withstand the passage of time and died one by one.
First of all, the second child, Radiaga.
Then the third Florega.
Then the fourth, Daruwin.
Now the last one left was the youngest, Fjold.
“Now I know. There were no heroes to be born in the future in the first place. Just as you said, the arrangement that Keira left with anticipation until the very end was pointing to me.”
“Then, shouldn’t I just pull out that key sword?”
“The problem is that it can’t be done. “Because I still haven’t been recognized by the great sisters.”
If you do not receive the recognition of the Great Sisters, you cannot hold the Key Sword.
To deal with the fallen Holy Spirit, Georn, you need the power of the key sword, but even that is not allowed.
“If I ask you a favor, will you do it?”
“No matter what I say, it won’t reach Fjold’s ears. “I don’t even know if she’s awake in the first place.”
The stone statue created by Fold’s solidified body still maintained its original shape, but she would one day meet the same end as her sisters.
“How do I wait until it’s all gone?”
“If everything disappears without transferring ownership, no one will be able to get it anymore. “The opportunity itself disappears.”
“… … “Then it’s a big deal.”
“that’s right. So, I came to ask her a favor before her final war begins. Please allow me to hold her key sword. “Please give me a chance.”
Lean looked up at the stone statue of Fjord.
“But even though she came here and has been waiting for me for a while now, her will doesn’t even think about responding.”
“Are you even awake?”
“I don’t know. Is he intentionally ignoring me when I’m awake? Or is it because his strength has diminished and he is in a deep sleep?”
“The reason you brought me here is because of the key sword.”
Leanne nodded.
Firstly, I thought that if it were Yuhyeon wearing Keira’s body, she would be able to hold the key sword even without Fjold’s permission.
Until now, all of the tellers in the form of Keira have hid the truth about this altar until the end because they were arbitrariness and could not be trusted.
I thought that if it were Yuhyeon, it might be possible.
“there’s nothing we can do.”
Yoohyeon shrugged her shoulders and went up to the altar.
The key sword wasn’t floating that high, so it was far enough to reach it if I stretched out my hand.
As I got closer, the power flowing from the sword became stronger. Pure and warm. Yuhyeon thought that this was something that could be called the power of stars.
It was the moment when Yoohyeon gathered courage and reached out for the sword.
[Do not touch.]
Yuhyeon stopped moving at the sound of a cavity made of ice.
This voice was heard only by Yuhyeon.
No, at some point, time around me stopped.
The world of imagery.
Fold invited Yuhyeon here.
“Pjold?”
[Don’t call my name carelessly as an older sister. You are a mortal wearing only a shell.]
“… … I need a key sword. Please lend me your strength.”
Fold laughed out loud at Yoohyeon’s words.
[A key sword? Who is going to use it? you? Or, that crude halfpenny?]
“Is it so important who writes it?”
[of course. If an unqualified person touches it, its body will explode. You can keep it for a while if I let you, but that’s it. And in my opinion, you don’t deserve it. Even if you just copy your older sister’s appearance, you won’t be able to resemble the most fundamental thing.]
“Then it’s just Leanne.”
[Give that Banpoon a sword? That’s ridiculous. Lean is not a suitable candidate.]
“It was 32 years ago.”
[Are you afraid that I don’t know what happened? You arrogant mortal. Even though I stay here, my eyes and ears reach all the way out. Do you think I have been ignoring Leanne for the past 32 years?]
Fiold said:
He said he had been watching Lean for 32 years just in case, but he was still a coward and half-hearted.
Even though he was able to swing his sword and defeat the frost giant differently than before, there was still a feeling of weakness in this man’s heart.
[A person obsessed with attachment cannot handle the key sword. Even if you pretend to be cool on the outside and lose your hesitation in swinging your sword, completely shaking off the illusion is another thing. The heart of such a person will break one day. To such a person, should he hand over the key sword that is his only chance?]
“Lean did as you asked and did his best to protect this city.”
[okay. And there are still 68 years left in this city. The time we arranged has not even passed half of the time.]
“I don’t think this is what Keira wanted, right?”
[Shut up. Our older sister is clearly respected by all of us, but even so, we cannot completely believe what she says about Leanne’s potential. And that has changed even more clearly as I look at the steps this man has taken over the past 32 years.]
“But it’s different now. And the survivors are preparing for the final war. “This could be your last chance.”
[I know not everyone is leaving. The number of survivors will decrease, but the legacy will continue.]
“If we don’t do it now, we’ll all die!”
Yuhyeon burst into anger at Fold’s words of not making any compromises.
“Entitlement, delusion, all! In the end, you’re just making excuses because you didn’t like Leanne before!”
[An excuse? Are you saying that we are putting trivial emotions first before the end of the world?]
“So, what else? Let’s ask this person in reverse. “What confidence do you have that over the remaining 68 years, someone qualified will be born?”
[…] … .]
“also. I can’t answer. Yes. Because that would be difficult.”
[In the first place, do you think Lean will gain strength by holding that sword? Even if I acknowledge ownership, Lean will not be able to properly use the power contained in the sword. Rather, they will be swayed by it or run wild.]
“Like, I’m sure Leanne will. “I don’t even believe in his potential.”
[If there was a possibility, why didn’t it bloom until now? You’re mortal. How long do you think I have been watching him? It has been 32 years since the curse of frozen land occurred. And if you include the previous one, it is much longer than that. Let’s ask. If a person has potential, he or she should show signs of it from the beginning, but was Lean like that?]
This is what Fjold was sure of.
Leanne will change? He decided to fight?
It may have seemed that way to other people, but Fjold’s eyes could not be deceived.
There was still delusion in Lean’s mind. And that wasn’t something he could throw out just because he wanted to.
[I shouldn’t have believed it from the beginning. The older sister trusted Leanne, but Leanne must have done something to trick her.]
“Just because you know something… … !”
[I do not know. Even if I told you because I didn’t know, the author didn’t even tell me. Would you know better, having only been with him for a few weeks at most, or would I, who had watched him for over decades, know much better?]
Yoohyeon gritted her teeth.
It wasn’t that we couldn’t communicate. Because each other’s thoughts were extremely different, the conversation ran in endless parallel lines.
Fold’s faith was so firm that there was no room for Yuhyeon to squeeze in.
To Fjold, Lean’s willingness to fight was like asking people to believe that an ex-convict who had been committing crimes for decades had reformed.
If she didn’t know anything, she would have believed it at least once, but as the youngest of the five great sisters, she could sense the remnants of delusion lingering in the hearts of others.
“… … I’m not asking you to trust Leanne. “I asked you to trust Keira, who trusted Leanne.”
Yoohyeon smiled sadly.
“But you say she’s one of the five great sisters, but you don’t believe her, even though she’s your sister.”
[…] … .]
Fiold must have been aware of that as well, so he kept his mouth shut.
It was no longer worth talking to Fjold.
The moment Yoohyeon had that strong will, she was able to escape from Fjold’s imaginary world and return to reality.
Yuhyeon pulled back the hand that was about to touch the key sword.
“Why are you doing that?”
“I can’t touch it. “I’m not qualified because I’m just following the appearance.”
“Who on earth… … ?”
“Fiold said so. “He forced me into the world of images and said that.”
“I can’t believe she said that.”
“What now? Without the power of the key sword… … .”
“no.”
Leanne spoke firmly.
“But we still have to fight. Even without the key sword, with our own strength.”
“Would it be okay?”
“It’s better than living like this forever.”
That was the moment when Lean answered like that.
Tiring.
A sound that was familiar before, but difficult to hear now.
That was the sound the Genesis system made when it was working properly.
[We succeeded in delving into the core story of the world.]
[System reboot.]

[Welcome back to the Genesis Network.]
The Genesis network, which had not been working properly until now, was connected.
