“Is that so?”
“The reason why that friend created a strange force called the Practical Sect was to take care of the other black magicians who depended on him.”
He sipped his coffee and continued talking.
“To pursue the ideal, you must not be bound by other things.”
“…….”
“I have seen so many of them. Not a single person has died a satisfactory death… Now I don’t even have the strength to resent them.”
Until it flowed endlessly and settled down in this city.
How long has Raoul met various people and passed through various deaths?
Even Lennok, who had lived in this city for a little over a year, was mourning the unbearable day in his own way.
“I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done so far.”
“…..no.”
At Lennox’s words, Raoul shook his head.
“I am not a fool. I don’t know what’s going on in the Courtyard of the City Council, but I know how things work. If Craig’s death had been delayed, it wouldn’t have been strange if everything had taken a worse turn. Am I wrong?”
“…”
Lennok couldn’t deny that.
If this operation didn’t succeed, if Craig really succeeded in controlling the fragments of the apocalypse called extinction, as he said.
No one could have predicted how the landscape of the city would have changed.
So he looked out the window and said something else.
“…..he called the monster he was trying to summon the Fragment of the Apocalypse.”
“It’s the end…. Even when I was wandering around the continent, it was a story that was treated as an old legend.”
Raoul closed his eyes.
“There was a time full of fanatics who believed in monsters that did not exist. It didn’t take that long to slaughter the lunatics who were hindering the prosperity of mankind and bring down the builders of the city, and build a foundation.”
“Are you trying to say that the history of the Balkans is not long?”
“It means that there has been concern for a long time that the catastrophe threatening the world may not be just a rumor.”
“……….”
“There were only rumors that this was the duty that Madrea Falseer had been carrying for a long time at the lighthouse of Philenom. No one has actually seen such monsters with their own eyes. If you want to ascertain the truth, you will have to find someone else, not me.”
“I think so even if you don’t say it.”
Saying that, Lennok slowly stood up.
My legs, which were overworked in the battle with Zaun, still creak.
I should try to use the elixir to get back to normal as quickly as possible.
Raoul looked up at Lennok’s emaciated figure as he stood up while hiding his complicated intentions.
“We and others just sat back and watched while you diligently roamed the city to thwart Craig’s plans
. The truth about the giant tree root pattern you were looking for was also of a much more serious kind than expected.”
“What do you want to say?”
“Don’t you think the world is unreasonable?”
“……..”
“Even if I wander alone in search of hidden secrets, not many people know. Even if this is a harbinger of the coming end… there won’t be many people who will agree with you.”
Raoul continued.
“This is something I cannot do alone. No one can live alone.”
“So you, Raoul, are you willing to help me?”
“okay.”
For a moment, silence fell between the two.
The slanting sunset crept through the cracks in the old windows and landed on my dry lap.
“If you need an artifact, come to me. Even if it’s not a big help, I’ll support you with the things you need until you reach your han. Considering your skills, at best it’s only about providing consumables.”
A declaration of cooperation by the Buyeo faction black magician, who is excellent enough to protect the safety of Croken Asylus for business purposes.
Just being able to freely receive amulets, bombs, or cursed items they create will be a great help to Lennok.
But Lennok was not blindly pleased with the unpaid favor.
Simply believing that, the image Raul has shown so far has never been easy.
“It’s fun.”
Lennok laughed.
“Did you ever feel guilty afterwards?”
“no.”
Raul slowly closed his eyes and replied.
“I think I can understand him.”
“………”
The story of Craig Tillian, who was caught up in the greed of Senator Reisen and was frustrated with his own goal being ruined, ended here.
But how many such things have happened in this city and how many more will there be in the future.
Although only Lennok heard the cry of the world’s irrationality, it seems that the inaudible cry reached Raoul’s heart as well.
Lennok tried not to think deeply.
Because I always kept repeating that there was only one important thing.
However, Raul’s words that he could not live alone did not easily disappear from his heart.
