309 Lesson 215: The Storybook And Apology
The day after the Demon King Conquest Conference, I came to the Crimson Empire with Maria.
I wanted to talk to Scarlet of the Crimson Empire before I headed to the Demon King tomorrow.
It's good to have an appointment with the king of one country the day before, but it was easy to make an appointment via the Advanced Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce of President Scarlett.
Emperor... are you free?
A: Scarlett had cancelled 7 appointments.
I wasn't free at all. I'm sorry.
Well done, Jin!
Scarlett arrived five minutes after waiting in the room guided by Pierre, who is close to the Emperor (Scarlett) and has a reputation for polite handling.
As Scarlett arrived, Pierre and his maids left the room. I can't let outsiders hear about the goddess.
"What can I do for you today? Jin wants to meet you suddenly, so there's something you need to do, right?"
Scarlett is very quick and easy to talk to because she has a good sense and is a good reader of the flow.
Tomorrow, I'll go to the Demon King.
"Hah!?"
Scarlett the Rock shouted with surprise as I simply told her my plans.
Probably, Scarlett expected it to be about the goddess. I had nothing to do with the Demon King and the Goddess, but this time I was mainly talking about the Demon King.
"This is very sudden." What the hell happened? "
"Ah, actually..."
It was only irritating.
"... I see, that's certainly not something I can ignore." And I'm sure you've reported it to me. I wonder if the demon king might be my previous life, or my younger sister..... "
I don't know what's clear, so I can't help it if there's a lot of 'maybe'.
However, I think that Scarlet's rebirth of Asai is highly likely, given the good sense and ease of conversation, and the overall atmosphere.
"As usual, Jin is always surprised." So, Jin wants me to do something? "
"There is nothing I want you to do, but there is something I want you to tell me." When will Scarlett be able to step down and hit the goddess? "
"So far, it's in 10 days." Is there any reason to hurry? "
"Ah, actually..."
It's just scratchy. Part 2.
"... I see, I think we should hurry." I'll try my best to exit as soon as possible. "
"No, after 10 days, it will settle down in 2 weeks, so it's fine as it is." Besides, it's a guide within two weeks, and it's not a goal to be achieved by imposing. "
At least we're not rushing a country's emperor.
"I'm not the one who's imposing." The handover is over, so it will take time to prepare for the reigning ceremony. Only the lords are burdened, so don't worry about Jin. "
"It's impossible not to worry about it..."
I felt sorry for my lords, whose delivery time was shortened by the emperor's indifference.
"Haha, I'm just kidding. I don't want to be resented by my lord at the last minute. I'm sorry to keep Jin waiting, but if it's okay in 10 days, that's fine."
There were also emperors who were impressed with the emperor who was just about to abdicate. Suspend the trail of standing birds.
"Got it. If your plans change, let me know again."
"Oh, let me contact the Advanced Chamber of Commerce."... and there's one thing I'd like to ask of you. "
What?
"If the demon king is the one Jin predicted, and he can return to his original personality, will you let me see him again?" It might be a hook to complement the memories of your previous life. "
Scarlett is a reincarnator, with memories of his previous life, but it is not complete.
There is knowledge of the earth, but because of the lack of episodic memory, there is no confirmation that Asai was reborn.
"I don't want you to ignore my intentions, so only if I tell you I'm going to meet you?"
"Oh, of course.... Indeed, it would be a shock if my real brother was already dead." It's not strange to meet someone who might have been reborn, even if you resisted. "
The situation is too special, so I'm not asking you to be irresponsible.
"There is no certainty that Scarlet is Asai, but it is very likely that Asai is dead. Asai is a hero of the past, and at least a hundred years have passed."
"There are elves and other long-lived species in this world, and it's not surprising that there are ways to extend their life, but it's not easy to find them."
Alta, is there an easy way to prolong life?
A: Yes, we can live for more than 500 years using simple means.
"Is there such a way..." Then, is it possible that Asai is still alive?
When that happens, I don't know the relationship between Scarlett and Asai. Just resemblance?
"If my memory is revealed, I might be able to explain the area." Well, if you say you'll see me in person, let me see you. If you don't tell me to meet you, let me see how you're doing. "
"Alright, you'll have no problem hiding and looking."... can you hide with that figure? "
Scarlett is tall, in good stature, has a presence, and doesn't seem to be good at hiding.
"Leave it to me. Hide-and-seek hasn't lost in a long time."... mainly for those who find it. "
Well, if Asai was reborn, there wouldn't be anyone who could escape from that [eye].
No, I remembered it in my hide-and-seek, but you told me that you met the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army before, didn't you?
"Oh, I didn't ask that much."
When I was listening to Scarlett's story, I remembered that it was just a little bit of a topic.
At that time, I realized that the Four Heavenly Kings were reincarnated, and it was time to change the policy.
"It's a good opportunity, so listen to me for a minute." It might be helpful. "
Is the Four Heavenly Kings still alive?
"... unfortunately, I missed." It was good until I found him hiding and hunted him down, but then suddenly he disappeared after throwing a strange doll. Oh dear, you've been transferred somewhere. "
No matter what I asked, it was Nakhalti.
"Maybe it's the ability of the Four Heavenly Kings who fought the day before yesterday." You can change the position of objects and objects. "
"What, did you already know?" I thought the information was valuable because the metastatic ability was highly surprise... So Jin killed that son of a bitch? "
"... son of a bitch? He was a woman." Didn't you know the gender because you were wearing a robe? "
"No, I didn't wear a robe, so I can tell it's a man."
"Well then, it's someone else." That woman's abilities could have been used by others. "
Graveford's use of Nakhalti's doll was new to his memory.
Could it be that Scarlett is referring to Graveford as "the son of a bitch"? Indeed, he was a man worthy of the title of a son of a bitch.
"What kind of a bastard is that? I want to know if it's the Four Heavenly Kings I know or the Four Heavenly Kings I don't know."
"... Jin, how many Four Heavenly Kings do you know?"
Seven... no, eight hidden Four Heavenly Kings together.
"What the hell are the Four Heavenly Kings..."
That's what I want to hear.
"That son of a bitch was trying to curse and kill a man in the Empire who is said to be a powerful man." I was so confident that I could turn my killer into a puppet. Well, I stopped it. "
"Ah, soitz, I killed the Four Heavenly Kings about a week ago."
Whatever you ask, it's Graveford.
"After all, Jin defeated me..." How many Four Heavenly Kings did you defeat? "
"Seven... no, it's six people, so it's one and a half laps for the Four Heavenly Kings"
"Phew. I've never seen anyone express the Four Heavenly Kings before"
When there were more than 4 people, I couldn't think of any other way of expressing it, so I couldn't help it.
Now that we're done talking to Scarlett, we're headed to the Elf's town.
The storyteller (Lily), who was the original princess sorceress and lived for a very long time, would almost certainly have information about the demon king of the past.
Perhaps there will be shocking remarks that will change the policy decided yesterday.
... why didn't I start the meeting after hearing Lily's story?
For the record, the way to travel to the Elf's Town is through the Portal.
Since Scarlett was not taught the existence of the Portal, she returned to the store of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce and used the Portal.
That said, I think Scarlett is faint that I have metastatic abilities.
If you knew my timetable, you'd know it wouldn't be possible without the ability to transfer.
For the record, Scarlett wanted to go to the Elves.
However, if we cancel the plan any longer, we will definitely refuse because it may lead to a transfer after 10 days.
Shut up.
Transferred to the Elves, he went to Lily's house and asked about the Demon King.
"Hmm, I certainly have some knowledge about the Demon King." However, Jin-sama and Letty hadn't heard anything about the Demon King, so they didn't think it was something they were interested in. "
As expected, Lily knew about the Demon King.
When I talked with Scarlett before, it was about the goddess, but there was little talk about the demon king.
Both Scarlett and I had already finished talking about "I'll leave the demon king to the other world's heroes."
"Yeah, I wasn't interested until now, but I could see why I couldn't ignore it."
Scratchy. Part 3.
"I'm not sure, but I think it's highly likely that the Demon King is an acquaintance of Lord Jin." In fact, the heroes and demon kings were not summoned entirely at random, but those who were related to the heroes and demon kings of the past were often summoned. If you were a brave sister, you would have plenty of chances of being summoned as a demon king. "
"I've never heard of it..."
From the beginning, a shocking statement came out.
Indeed, if Asai had been summoned as a hero in the past, it was no wonder that my best friend, me, and my sister, Saint, had been summoned.
In addition, because Asai has a wide network, he should have been more likely to be summoned to this world than the average person who is related to the heroes of the past.
Due to unexpected facts, the theory of the Demon King's holiness was strengthened.
"... hey, can you check if the Demon King's information I know is correct?"
Hmm, it's good, right?
It's just scratchy. Part 4.
"Hmm, there seems to be no discrepancy between the information I have and the information I have. I can tell you a little bit more about one point, but do you want to listen?"
Thank you very much.
Now that I know that Lily's knowledge is worse than I imagined, I think I'll listen to what I can hear.
"Why didn't I ask Lily about digging the root and leaf in the past..."
"All I know is about the Demon King 500 years ago."
"Oh...!"
500 years ago, the demon king was very important in the story of the demon king.
If Lily had any information about the demon king 500 years ago, she'd have listened to him before the meeting...
Five hundred years ago, the demon king suddenly appeared in the Elf's city.
"...... Was that okay?"
If the creation says, "The demon king will appear in the Elf's land," the Elf's land will almost certainly collapse.
Since the Elf's Town still exists, it's clear that it hasn't collapsed, but even if there's a lot of damage, it's not strange. The demon king is like destroying the capital of one country by himself.
Speaking of which, did the Guardian of the World Tree not react? There must have been a security presence in the woods around the town to get rid of the danger. "I killed him instantly..."
A: Demons are not included in the conditions for the World Tree Guardian to activate.
Ah, yes. The Guardian of the World Tree is really useless.
"Even if you show up, it's not in front of a lot of people, just in front of me." The purpose was to speak with me, and I did not think that I would destroy the land of the Elves. When I told them my goals and heard what I knew, I went home quietly and never came back. "
You came to the Elves for a reason similar to me and Scarlet.
Well, the only reason outsiders come to the Elves is to meet the storyteller (Lily). If there are others, there are as many tourists who want to see the world's trees.... it's both of us.
"The goal of the demon king was to [break the goddess's thoughts]." In a way, it's the same as Gin and Letty. "
"Was it just like me or Scarlett?"
And if I heard this much, I could predict what the Demon King wanted to say.
"The [idea of the goddess] is that [the demon king will surely lose to the brave], right?"
"Hmm, it looks like you've done a lot of work to change the destiny of defeat." In addition, as later history has shown, it seems that in the end the brave lost..... "
If we had accomplished our goal, the history of the human species and the demon race would have changed.
"The demon king had two major policies, one was to" wipe out the hero "and the other was to" kill the goddess. "I'm here to see how to" kill the goddess. "When I talked about resources and abnormal individuals (irregulars) as a way to get to the" realm of goddesses ", I guess I gave up."
"It would be difficult to satisfy the conditions for the world tree to grow from the demon king's position." But did you teach the Demon King such an important thing..... "
It's my job to tell the story, but I think you should choose who you want to talk to.
"But I'm not going to look people in the eye." From the demon king's behavior, I felt intelligence and respect. At least I was convinced that the fangs would never make their way to us. I told you everything I could tell you....... That said, I didn't tell the Gosh and the others that the Demon King had come because it was a source of confusion. "
If the storytelling department has decided that it is the right person to talk to, it can't be helped.
In fact, for the next 500 years, the Elves' land has not been damaged by the Demons.
Well then, tell me what you talked to the Demon King about.
"It's mainly about goddesses and world trees." It's not much different from what I told Jin-sama and Fong Let. However, I knew quite a few things from the beginning, even if I didn't tell you. When asked why, it seems that a demon king a generation ago focused on gathering knowledge and devised ways to bequeath it as much as possible. "
One of the demon king's disadvantages was that his forces and knowledge would disappear with the demon king's death.
Knowing that his defeat was inevitable, it was not strange that there was a demon king who tried to retain his knowledge.
"And in addition to that, 500 years ago, the Demon King tried to keep his skills for future generations." The good thing about the timing is that the Demon King's spell mark (Kurth) had the effect of inheriting the skill. "
"Please tell me a little more about it." Why did that demon king have the mark to inherit the skill? Could it be that the Demon King's mark (Kerth) is fixed? "
Hmm, the Demon King has one unique mark (Kurth) in addition to the mark (Kurth) that everyone in the Demon King possesses.
I've guessed one with this information.
Three of them, namely, [Four Heavens Appointment (Force Order)], [Dark Zone (Dark Zone)], and [Demon Lord], were [The Curse Mark (Karth)] that all the Demon Lords possessed. As a demon king, it was a must-have ability.
"As a matter of fact, anyone with an alien soul has the right to one rare skill." That right is consumed by obtaining the Blessing of the Brave (gift), granting skills from the World Tree, and obtaining the Demon King's unique spell mark (Kerth). "
This is the most important piece of information I've ever heard.
Apparently, it was a one-time privilege for aliens to gain unique skills.
... this is definitely a trick. Because I had two blessings (gifts) after collecting the blessings (gifts) that Igahara refused to accept.
"This rare skill is guaranteed to be worthy of this person." I think Jin-sama would be convinced if he saw the world tree giving him skills. "
"My acquired skill, [World Tree Ruler], is it really worthy of me..."
Yes, I think it's the right skill for you.
As my escort, Maria, who had never been in the conversation before, made a statement.
Looks like you really wanted to say it.
"I can't tell if that skill is suitable for Jin-sama, but I'm sure it's different from the other ones. It's a supplement, but sometimes the Demon King gets a spell mark (Kerth) that doesn't match his nature."
Only the Demon King will change his personality after obtaining the curse mark (Karth), so it may not suit him.
If I knew the demon king's origins, I could predict the extent of it.
"Hmm, the magic mark that the demon king gets (Kurth) is a magic mark (Kurth) that corresponds to the original personality before he became a demon king." In most cases, the demon king's personality and original personality tend to be similar, but there are exceptions. Depending on the personality of the demon king, it may be difficult to handle the curse mark (kars). 500 years ago, the demon king had the same personality and was a good curse mark (kars). "
Here, in a sense, important information has emerged.
The demon king's personality and former personality tended to resemble each other. In other words, it was possible that the demon king Holly remained a sacred personality.
Another person who used the body of an acquaintance and had almost the same personality... it was absolutely unpleasant.
"500 years ago, the Demon King thought about when he was defeated by a brave man, and said that he would inherit most of his magic marks and skills from his inherent marks (kars)." Perhaps the current demon king inherited the demon king's skills 500 years ago. "
How did you inherit the skill from the Demon Lord 500 years later?
Since he is definitely dead, he will relay someone else, and if he does not use some means, he will not be able to inherit the skills of the future demon king.
There are containers in the world that store skills, called skill orbs.
Wait, you can't put a spell mark (kars) on a skill orb.
It was a skill orb that learned about the existence of the [Dragon Race (Dragon Newt) Hidden], but it was only a subordinate compatibility of [Give and Take], and I didn't think it was necessary.
At first, I asked Alta about the characteristics, but she told me that I couldn't put any blessings (gifts) or curses (kars), and I remembered that I was completely disinterested.
"Do you know about the skill orb, Master Jin? It's a stony rock." I don't know how, but the Demon King said he played with the Skill Orbs. According to the plan I heard, I deposited the skill orb with the curse mark (Kurth) with the Four Heavenly Kings in my heart and inherited it from the Demon King. To be sure, Jin-sama said that the fifth Four Heavenly Kings were the Four Heavenly Kings at this time. "
Before going to the Demon Race Realm, the identity of the hidden fifth Heavenly King was revealed.
"When the Demon King dies, the Four Heavenly Kings should die at the same time... no, I see." Did you escape somewhere unaffected? "
There was an invisible connection between the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings.
When the Demon King dies, the connected Four Heavenly Kings should die at the same time, but if they are not affected by the connection, the death of the Four Heavenly Kings can be avoided.
In addition, the connection between the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings was already practiced in Nakhalti on the Giant Island.
500 years ago, the Demon King said that he would let the [Abandoned World] escape to another world.
"The discarded world?"
"Hmm, I heard that in a world abandoned by the goddess, I'm just waiting for destruction." I heard it was hidden in some country, but I can't tell you because I don't have the knowledge. "
"I have a plan for the world." Maybe it's what I call the 'grey world'. The entrance is in the capital of the Elgantu kingdom, which was destroyed by the demon king 500 years ago. "
It was a coincidence that there was an entrance into the world that matched the Demon King's purpose in the place where the Demon King had destroyed it...
In other words, 500 years ago, the demon king destroyed the god capital of the Elganto kingdom in order to let the four heavenly kings escape to the grey world. The scale is huge.
"Hmm, can I ask what kind of world it is?"
"Oh, in the grey world..."
Lily asked curiously.
It was only irritating. Part 5. It feels weird to talk to someone in the storytelling department.
As far as I'm concerned, I'm sure of the world.
In other words, the current demon king has inherited his skills through the Four Heavenly Kings 500 years ago.
"Hmm, that's definitely true, too." Besides, you should also inherit knowledge. "
Exactly, the most powerful demon king of all time.
"Hmm..."
According to the demon king's intentions 500 years ago, the current demon king was supposed to reign as the most powerful demon king with the knowledge and skills he had gained in the past, and destroy the heroes with his power...
"...... I've heard a lot, but it looks like there's no change in what I do."
I could hear surprising and important things, but in the end, what I had to do didn't change.
Regardless of the circumstances on the Demon King's side, for me, the Demon King's personality was nothing but a distraction. Before facing the brave as the strongest demon king, I will guide you with my hand.
The Demon King's threat level had definitely risen, but Jin-sama couldn't help but notice it.
"My acquaintance's body may have been taken away by the Demon King." It had nothing to do with the Demon King's circumstances or strength. Besides, it would be strange for him to be frightened of the demon king if he tried to beat the goddess. "
I see, that's a very special story.
Lily nodded convincedly.
Both the Demon King and the Goddess were enemies, but if they were to say which one was more troublesome, they would undoubtedly raise their military ranks to the goddess.
The demon king's opponent, who wanted to beat the goddess, who gave up killing the goddess, had no reason to be frightened.
Or perhaps if the Demon King hadn't taken the otherworldly transfer's flesh, the enemy would have been an ally and would have gone to beat the goddess together in the future. Now, the enemy is the enemy.
After that, I heard a lot from Lily, but nothing changed my behavior.
It was almost noon when Lily finished talking to me.
A: In the royal castle of the Kingdom of Sanokia, a person who calls himself Saki Suwarabara is asking for the master.
When I tried to get back to K'Thal's Mansion, I received a surprise report from Alta.
Mizuhara Saki is one of my childhood friends, and I haven't seen her since the day I was summoned to this world.
When it became clear that Sakura and I didn't have any blessings (gifts), they were worried about the hostility towards me and thought they didn't have the face to let me see them.
Ekaterina, the Queen of the Thanokia Kingdom, and her closest friends appeared before me as an apology for Saki... as an ambassador of Saki and delivered her message.
As for me, I intend to accept Saki's apology, but Saki still doesn't show up in front of me.
In the meantime, I thought there was some action from Saki, but it was difficult to tell whether the timing was good or bad just before fighting the Demon King.
If Saki could forgive himself, he would come directly. Sending a messenger is either a message of some kind or an apology again.
A: It seems to be both.
That's why the messenger brought you something to apologize for, right?
When I was at Ekaterina, it was both a messenger and an apology... "
A: Unknown. Given the messenger's status, there's plenty of room.
"Is there a possibility..." Is there any danger?
A: Although the fighting ability is high, it is not dangerous. Also, the map displays blue as an ally.
"Also, is it a blue display..."
The map display of Ekaterina, who was also Saki's messenger, was also blue from the beginning. Apparently, Saki strongly criticized me to be on my side.
At that time, I thought, but if a stranger comes to my side from the beginning, I'm usually just scared.
If you didn't know that Saki was involved, you might even have recognized him as an enemy. No matter what I think, it only appears to be somebody's plot.
I was usually scared, but I had no choice but not to see the messenger.
If you don't see the messenger, Saki will think I'm still angry. I already forgive the blossoms... I mean, I didn't really care that much.
Well, if we're going to meet anyway, we'll have to wait to see the status of the messenger. It's more interesting to see it in person. It doesn't seem dangerous, so it shouldn't be a problem.
There was no reason to keep the messenger waiting, so I took Maria to the royal castle in the Kingdom of Sanokia.
"Welcome." Saki-san is waiting for you. "
With the guidance of Ekaterina and the others who were waiting at the transfer point, I headed to the messenger of Saki.
Arriving in the messenger's waiting room, the door opens.
The girl in the room was about 10 years old, which only the Japanese could see.
"I'm surprised at this..."
"Yes, we were surprised too. Saki-san had two melons."
The appearance of Saki's ambassador was exactly the same as Saki's when he was 10 years old.
The hairstyles are cut as short as the blossoms, and you can't tell them apart except for one thing.
One of them is the expression. Saki's default expression is a smile, but this girl has no expression. Since the shape is exactly the same, I feel very uncomfortable knowing Saki well.
It's time to start, Jindoji-sama. My name is Kozaki, and I am Suwara-saki's ambassador. "
The girl sitting on the sofa stood up, bowed deeply and introduced herself.
In the old form of "Saki", "Kozaki" is quite fashionable.
Now, let me show you the answer (status) to what kind of seed it is.
Name: Kozaki
LV0
Gender: Female
Age: 0
Race: Artificial (Homunculus)
Title: Messenger of Saki
Skill:
I see, it's no wonder that artificial beings (Homunculus) resemble blossoms.
Alta, how do you make an artificial creature (Homunculus)?
A: It is created with the skill of < Alchemy >.
I see, it's no surprise that you could make an artificial creature (Homunculus).
Well, alchemy in the original sense of the earth can't create gold much more than man-made creatures (homunculus), so it's alchemy in the sense of creation.
By the way, I've never seen it before, is that a rare skill?
A: Yes, a very rare skill. The process of using the skill is close to, but the object created with is not powered by magic, so it is completely different. Also, the word alchemy itself is not known in this world.
It was a rarer skill than that.
The magic tools (magic items) created in are always powered by magic power. And since it says "tools," you can't create anything like an organism.
On the other hand, it seems that the alchemy can also create artificial creatures (Homunculus) without using magic power.
In the meantime, I was sure that Saki would be able to use Alchemy.
"So, what do you want from me?"
Yes, Saki-sama has sent a message of apology to Jindo-sama.
As expected, the content was as expected.
"I should have accepted Saki's apology at Ekaterina's time."
"Saki-sama said, 'I'm sorry for the mere apology.'"
If you're saying that I'm sorry about Saki, I'll forgive you. If I don't forgive you, it's irrelevant.
And since you said you would forgive Saki, I can't help but accept the apology.
I'm not worried about that, because I don't think my long-time friend Saki will give me something I don't like. If anything, I'm wondering how much more amazing things you're giving me.
The queen of one country (Ekaterina) was included in Saki's previous apology, "just there".
"Here's your first apology. Please, take it."
Having said that, the two jewels (orbs) that Kozaki took out from the item box she had were familiar to her.
In any case, it's a skill orb, but can you get a skill orb that easily?
A: Skill Orbs can be created with a high level of Alchemy.
Yeah, I'm convinced. Is that where it leads?
Since we can make artificial creatures (Homunculus), there must be someone with a high level of alchemy near Saki. Probably the same author.
Now, Skill Orbs are rare, but empty Skill Orbs are of little value. What matters is the effect of the skills inside.
It would be funny if it was empty, but Saki doesn't have the character to send us a [rare empty box]. If I were to give it to you, I would give it to you after packing the contents.
As you can see, the skill was included as a matter of course. Here's the first.
Holy Sword (Swordmaster)
As a swordsman, I mastered the highest skill. At least, you can gain considerable ability enhancements when using your sword.
Definitely an excellent skill, but I felt it was normal for Saki to give it to me.
It's not as interesting a skill as that.
Do you have any intentions?
And here's the second skill.
[Sword of Enchantment]
A sword technique that becomes a special attack on the demon tribe and the demon king. It's not about killing, it's about killing. It has the power to defeat those who were born against God's will and return them to what they should be.
Honestly, I was surprised.
