Episode 299. Into the Secret (1)
Hastia went out of the nest for a moment to appease Xian.
However, when time passed and he did not return, Alphonse became impatient and went outside.
“It’s taking a while, isn’t it?”
Just then, the snowstorm stopped and the visibility widened significantly.
“Hastia?”
For some reason, Hastia was not visible.
At the same time, Xian, who she had gone looking for, was nowhere to be seen.
“Ha, Hastia has disappeared! “I think the human took him!”
All of the elves got up from their seats and followed Alphonse outside to find Hastia, who had disappeared.
However, the two elves, Garnian and Roel, did not leave but stayed next to Marian.
“Why aren’t you going out?”
“If that person really took Hastia, I think there is only one reason.”
To save.
The two elves also hoped that she would not die.
“I want Hastia to live. “There’s nothing we can do about that, but that person must be different.”
Garnian had no doubt that Cian would be able to protect Hastia no matter what.
“Then why isn’t Marian moving?”
Roel asked her in return.
“Because I am just like you.”
Marian’s answer was no different from theirs.
“There is no reason for that child to die because of God’s selfish heart.”
* * *
Somewhere about 1,000 steps away from Marian’s nest.
Hastia stood on the ground covered in white snow and began to chant an unknown spell.
Eventually, when the spell ended, a white magic circle was created under my feet,
-Whoa!
The two, engulfed in the light emitted by the magic circle, were quickly transported somewhere else.
What unfolded before the two men and women who opened their eyes again was,
“tree?”
It was a tree so large that five or six adult men would have to stretch out their arms to cover it.
It was not just a large tree, but everything from its trunk to its leaves was covered in pure white snow.
‘It’s Arbor, a tree dedicated to God. All the records of the old times that God commanded us to keep are sealed in this tree. The key to unlock that seal is within me.’
A forgotten record of an old era that could not be found anywhere on the continent.
The record was kept in none other than this tree.
‘So, Sian, you are using the power of the key in my body to reveal God’s secrets? Are you saying that through that, God is making my very existence meaningless?’
“If you don’t feel like it, tell me now. “I won’t force you.”
Hastia, who was blinking with round eyes like a rabbit, suddenly burst into laughter.
“Why are you laughing?”
‘When did you always say that it was just something that happened to you, Xi’an, and why are you asking about my doctor now?’
Xian was unable to answer and avoided eye contact.
‘Then I’ll just ask you one question, so please answer honestly.’
“What?”
‘Is this for me? Or is this for Sian?’
Xian answered right away without any hesitation.
“It’s for both you and me.”
Then Hastia’s face changed a little strangely.
It was an expression that made it difficult to guess what was going on, as it may or may not have been the expected answer.
‘If you had said it was just for me, I would have refused right away. ‘I can’t abandon my family just to live alone.’
It will happen.
Although she may be foolish, she is not a selfish being.
‘But, if you say this is for Xian… … Do by that way. ‘I can do anything that can help Sian.’
Although it wasn’t a particularly unexpected reaction, Sian was a little taken aback.
“This may mean abandoning your entire clan for me, who is not even your clan. Is that okay?”
Hastia could not answer right away.
‘I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t okay… … .’
Sian patiently waited for her to respond.
‘I’m just going to think selfishly. ‘Good things are good, right?’
This was the first time she, who was foolish and not pure, had selfish thoughts.
‘But just because my heart is like this, there’s nothing I can do. It is up to you, Si-an-nim, to unleash the power of the key.’
However, Xian did not know how.
How to unleash the power of the key in her body, and even if she did, how would she know how to use it?
As I was feeling frustrated and wondering what to do,
[You managed to come this far.]
The materialized Kayram appeared, brushing away Xian’s hair.
[From now on, whatever happens, you have to handle it. Can you do it?]
“If you’re going to ask meaningless questions, please tell me what to do.”
[It’s hard. Unleash the power of the fog.]

As she said, Xian manifested the power of black fog in her hands.
Kayram grabbed Xian’s hand and said,
“… … ?”
Suddenly, he placed his hand on Hastia’s chest.
Hastia was startled and her face instantly turned red.
“hey! What are you doing now… !”
-Pasig
Without a moment to ask, a strong spark erupted from Xian’s hand.
Soon, the skin was torn and a burning pain came up my fingertips.
[God’s protection has been activated to reject you. Don’t worry, just hang in there.]
Who can’t say it with words?
Sian had no intention of backing down, so he gritted his teeth and held on, but the problem was Hastia.
‘… … !’
Looking at her expression, it seemed like she was feeling the same pain as Sian.
Aside from myself, I was worried about whether she would be able to endure this pain.
‘I’m okay, Sian…’ … !’
As if sensing Xian’s feelings, Hastia immediately said that it was okay.
However, without any relief, the pain became more and more severe, and soon the sparks that occurred repeatedly exploded loudly,
-Quaang!
With the explosion, a tremendous amount of light spread out and immediately covered Xian’s body.
“… … !”
Xian discovered a small, unidentifiable shape in the light.
The shape looked like a key.
-dump
As the light disappeared, Hastia and Cian fell down at the same time.
Kayram, who was looking at the fallen two,
[Whatever happens, happens now.]
With the last word, it turned into fog again and returned to Xian’s arms.
* * *
I feel dizzy.
Even if I were hit with a hammer and fell down, it wouldn’t be like this.
It felt like someone was massaging my brain.
I feel really dirty.
That’s right, Hastia.
I’m sure she would have passed out too, but that’s okay… … ?
I barely opened my eyes as I held on to my shaking mind,
I couldn’t help but believe my eyes right away.
What is here?
Where is the pure white tree, whether it is Arbor or something, going?
A tree with lush green leaves sits in front of me.
The surrounding area, which was covered with snow and ice, has long since turned into dirt and blades of grass.
Even an idiot would understand this.
This is not Pruina.
what? Have I been transferred somewhere else?
The moment I thought that the perverted magic sword might have been a fraud,
-Keeee!
A human’s scream was heard as if his breath had been cut off.
I headed straight to where I heard the sound.
“Once a man commits something, he has to see it through to the end. How come everyone is shaking because one guy got hit! yes?”
The moment I heard a voice, I immediately hid behind a tree.
But what is this voice?
It was as if two different voices were overlapping in one place.
That aside, the voice was very familiar to my ears.
From where the sound was heard, there were a number of strange men who appeared to be thieves,
“What are you doing? “Aren’t you going to attack me?”
An unfamiliar red-haired man was standing there.
“Anyway, there’s only one guy! “Don’t be afraid and attack!”
One of the thieves tried to suppress them by using their numerical superiority, but
“They’re saying shit.”
It was no match for men.
He brutally cut down the thieves with a sword that showed no mercy.
Wait a minute, is that really possible?
As I watched the scene, I couldn’t help but be surprised once again.
A purple blade that gives off a chill just by looking at it, and a black jewel embedded in the hilt of the sword.
As far as I know, there is only one sword of that type on this continent.
Demon sword Kayram.
The sword the man was swinging freely, as if dancing, was clearly Cairam.
I hurriedly searched inside, but
does not exist.
No matter how hard I searched for Kayram, who I always carried in the same place, I couldn’t find it.
“The guy hiding there. “Come out when I have something nice to say.”
The head that had been wandering around looking for the magic sword was lifted up again.
He called me.
Once your existence has been discovered, there is no point in hiding any longer.
I appeared in front of the man as he wanted.
“… … !”
Who said that?
They say eyes are the window to the soul.
It is said that if you look into a person’s eyes, you can see their soul.
The man in front of me right now is a man I don’t know.
But I can’t help but notice those eyes.
Haven’t you already realized it through your voice?
That man, or rather that soul occupying that man’s body, must be
This is Kayram.
“What are you?”
But she asked me what it was.
If she really is the Cairam I know, she wouldn’t know me.
So does that mean it’s not the Kayram I know?
“Why are you walking around radiating the power of fog?”
It seems that he sensed the power of the fog within me.
Still, there are two reasons why you don’t recognize me.
Either she forgot me,
Or, I’m facing a girl from the past that I don’t know about.
Considering the situation, I thought it was the latter.
“I’m asking you, bastard. What is it? Are you dumb? “Can’t you understand people?”
If you ask who it is, there’s nothing you can say in this situation.
What should I say about this… … .
“Could it be that that bastard is a servant sent by God?”
nerd god?
Are you talking about Aer?
I feel like any further delay will only increase suspicion.
I straightened up and bowed my head to her.
“That’s right. I received an order from Aer to help Demon Sword and its owner.”
Kayram’s eyes were scanning my body with a mixture of suspicion and wariness.
I patiently waited for her answer, feeling nervous for the first time in a while.
“You’re doing something useless. If you’re going to send it, send a decent guy, or where did you send this shady guy?”
I think I just skipped over it.
First of all, it seems like he believes that I am a servant sent by Aer, so I don’t feel like it, but I think I should treat him with respect.
Without even having time to breathe in relief, she suddenly trudged in front of me.
“You look pretty young. What’s your name?”
After thinking about it for a second, I opened my mouth.
“draft. “This is Sian Wert.”
“Sian Berth? You’re not a child of some kind of noble family. What’s your name? “It’s a hassle to remember, so I just call him kid.”
“Do whatever is comfortable for you.”
She grinned and eventually caressed my chin.
“Okay then, kid. It’s because this sister lost her way… … .”
It was quite annoying to be called ‘noona’ in a man’s body, but I decided to move on for now.
“Please give me directions on where to go from here to Pruina.”
“Are you on your way to Pruina?”
“What, you didn’t hear anything from that idiot god? “This isn’t a useless piece of luggage.”
“You just have to keep moving forward.”
“On what basis?”
“Isn’t there a cold wind constantly blowing from the front? “This is evidence that the poles are getting closer.”
“It looks like you weren’t wandering around. If you don’t want to fall behind, follow along on your own.”
With those words, she continued down the path.
For a moment, I tried to take a step after her.
I stopped again and stared at her back as she walked away.
“What can I call you?”
“hmm?”
“Can I call you Kayram?”
When I asked her what her name was, she smiled strangely.
“no. “I am not Kayram.”
“Then what… … ?”
“D.I.O.”
“… … !”
“Dio Harpenkus. “It’s correct to call it that now.”
There was a certain bitterness in that strange smile.
