Observer of the World (4)
“Here in the Trama Mountains, Shimcheo is one of the mystical scenes created by the concentration of nearby leylines.”
said Lapis.
“Here, if I build a new lighthouse with my lighthouse keeper’s ability, I can observe the open sea through the celestial sphere operated by borrowing the power of the leyline.”
“….”
“I will gather all the intellect of the continent to light up the night sky and connect the constellations to create a huge barrier that will cover all the nights in the world.”
A new lighthouse is built by choosing an unexplored region or a famous place where the continent’s leylines are concentrated, and the lighthouse is operated by borrowing the power of the intellect.
Originally, the lighthouse’s light, which is operated and amplified by the supernatural ability of the lighthouse keeper, is to be mass-produced by replacing the light of the lighthouse with the power of unexplored lands.
What if such lighthouses were newly built across the continent to unite the power to illuminate the night sky?
Although it cannot perfectly replace the Ascendant’s mission, it may be able to stop the movement of the apocalypse approaching from the other side of the open sea.
“We cannot prevent the ending in which life and death stop when the cycle of cause and effect ends.”
Lapis quietly continued.
“But if we can use the night sky as our gateway to protect the world from the inside and outside, we will undoubtedly find a better answer than we do now.”
Not only the Dominion’s lighthouse, but also the entire night sky within the lighthouse’s observation range, and keeping the sea of stars coexisting under the law of cause and effect.
In a sense, it is a plan that could be expanded beyond the level of inheriting the mission of Madrea Palsire, the celestial dog.
Lapis found his own meaning in the chess board, which opened the sky of the world, worshiped foreign gods, and someone tried to kill them.
The words that I will expand the cycle of cause and effect even a little in the face of destruction by endlessly increasing the work I have to do as a lighthouse keeper.
It was the lighthouse keeper’s own assertion that he would promise all life in this world more time than was set.
It was only then that Lennok realized how Lapis had been able to persuade the powerful virtuosos of the Western Continent and win them over to his side.
Although they could not sympathize with the giants of Pandaemonium, the Church, or the Central Front, countless talented people who could not find the right way to survive.
The answer Lapis chose was because it was a grandiose plan that could embrace even such a neutral force and, in a way, only she could.
Acknowledging and accepting that the lighthouse keeper alone can no longer carry on the mission of Cheongyeon.
Instead, borrow the power of others to build new lighthouses all over the continent and use their light to illuminate the open sea on the other side of the world, delaying destruction.
Giving a little more meaning to the cycle of cause and effect that has already ended.
It wasn’t hard to imagine how long it took her to explain and convince her.
From devising a plan that only a lighthouse keeper could pull off, to turning it into a tangible achievement and putting it on track.
Until he builds enough strength and power to make his plan to build a new lighthouse, which would have been just a wild dream when he started, become a reality.
In a way, what she did was different from what Lennok had done so far, but in essence it was similar.
While Lennok was lost in thought, Lapis looked up at the silently darkening night sky and turned his head.
“This is not what I want to show Evan. Shall we head towards the celestial sphere?”
Lapis said so and naturally led Lennok into the huge cavity below.
Several times more observers than those in the valley are busily moving around the spire that rises in the middle of the cavity.
There is no time to be quiet due to the noise of combat training and material production taking place on one side of the spacious vacant lot.
“Actually, you were concentrating your energy here.”
“It is the first step in the plan to build a lighthouse in an unexplored region. I needed to focus all my energy on it.”
Lapis answered while waving at the observers looking up from the bottom of the cavity.
“Because the celestial sphere, which is responsible for the core function of the lighthouse, will not operate unless sufficient power is supplied…. I had to put a lot of effort into it.”
“It was actually for that reason that we designated and shared the valley of the wave as a common area.”
Lapis laughed mischievously.
“From the moment the entire mountain range is under our control, no matter who passes through the valley, we will not be able to escape our eyes.”
At the point when the Blue Eye took control of the inner passage of the Trama Mountains, it was as if all forces heading toward the central front through the Valley of the Wave were put under surveillance.
At the same time as preparing a foothold to advance into the central front, it will be able to play the role of monitoring latecomers who are later than the eyes of Qing.
They must be planning to continue their activities by using the second lighthouse as a key base following the Philenom Dominion.
It was not a lie to say that Lapis was creating a bridgehead for him rather than immediately advancing to the central front.
It was only then that Lennok began to see familiar faces one by one as he descended the spiral staircase that encircled the common wall for a long time.
“It’s been a while, Evan.”
“Aren’t you here too late? This work has already been done.”
“Leave it. No matter how angry Lapis is that he has to show it at the end… … .”
“I heard that you are quite busy in Balkan.”
“Didn’t you hear he was still working with us? Good tricks too.”
Even the watchers who were together in the labyrinth like Sunshine and Lance, and the warriors who once learned their faces in the Dominion.
While greeting Lennok, someone commands his watchers to go out of the commons, while others hurry back and enter the spire.
The scenery inside the spire, nestled inside the cavity, looked even busier.
“The delivery of missions in this area is not working properly. You have to deal with the variables that interfere with communication and connect….”
“The construction of the border around the mountain range is not over yet. Let’s turn it that way. We don’t have enough power.”
“War is necessary to reoccupy good unexplored regions. Right now, stabilizing the lighthouse is the priority.”
“I’m not saying it’s wrong. As long as the Dominion’s lighthouse is breached once, there’s no need to extensively inspect the barrier there… … .”
Viewers spread out a map covering the vast plateau of the eastern continent and discuss it in a huge conference room.
Some people raise questions about the overall plan, such as the deployment of watchers and people carrying all sorts of surveying tools to calculate the holographic terrain.
Even though Lapis is not present, people constantly exchanging opinions with each other can be seen throughout the conference room.
That means that various strategies and manpower are working simultaneously to expand and build the power of the Blue Eye.
Lapis looked back at Lennok and smiled shyly.
“Everyone is excited because the second lighthouse project succeeded faster than expected.”
“It seems that they are already looking for a candidate site for a new lighthouse.”
“Many observers have seen firsthand what can be done once the second lighthouse is built.”
Lapis said that and casually stood in front of the thick iron door at the end of the hallway.
As if he had recognized her existence, the tightly woven door opened gently as if attracted by an invisible force.
Keying… … !!
A circular room that is far more spacious than any other space in the spire.
On the ceiling, a hologram that looked like a constellation engraved in the dark night sky rotated, and a cold fog below the floor wetted the calves and spread a chilly chill.
And the figure of a huge celestial sphere floating quietly in the center of the room.
The light flowing from the outer surface of the celestial sphere illuminates and rotates the entire room, projecting a full view of the night sky into the room.
This is a celestial sphere that illuminates the open sea that can only be crafted, managed, and possessed by those who have inherited the lighthouse keeper’s mission.
An observation machine built to illuminate the dark sea and face the landscape beyond it.
Lapis, who had come closer, opened her mouth while placing her hand on the heavenly sphere.
“It means building a new lighthouse. In other words, it is like expanding the concept and meaning of a lighthouse in this world.”
“….”
“As the concept of a lighthouse expands, it is only natural that the lighthouse keeper’s vessels and supernormal abilities expand in proportion to it.”
Looking at the dolphin spirit jumping overhead, Lapis gently brushed the heavens.
“Actually, from the time I started stabilizing the celestial sphere, abilities and memories that were different from those inherited from my grandmother began to flow in.”
At the same time, the magic power that was buried in her hands resonated and raised beautiful starlight between her fingers.
Lennok realized that it was the power that had transported him from the bottom of the lighthouse to the top all at once.
It was probably because she was limited to the area around the lighthouse and was able to use larger and more colorful abilities than she possessed.
“Memories and knowledge of those who inherited the position of lighthouse keeper before my grandmother…. The more we build new lighthouses, the more we will know and do.”
There is a saying that the position of the lighthouse keeper before Cheongyeon was passed down from generation to generation by ascendants with moderate tendencies.
Did the lighthouse keeper find a way to pass on his memory or abilities to the successor in his own way, just as Jindun did to Lennok in the past?
I was not saying that I would stop the opening of the heavens without any promises or guarantees.
However, it was just that it was difficult to dare to dare to do it before the power of the blue eye grew with this level of influence and talent.
Thinking so, Lennok stepped forward and tapped the end of his sleeve lightly.
At the same time, a huge bundle of scrolls protruded from the inside of the coat. The appearance of a huge papyrus that far exceeded Lapis’ height.
“Kyaaah?”
Surprised Lapis took a step back, and at the same time the dolphin spirit grabbed her body.
Lennok unfolded the papyrus, laid it down on the floor where the celestial sphere floated, and began to sign with both hands.
Faaaa!!!
As Lennok’s mana drips drop by drop onto the papyrus, a complicated boundary line is engraved on the paper as if ink is being applied in an instant.
Papyrus Argenteus, a brewmaster obtained in Jindun’s Labyrinth.
Now, it is used for directly remembering Lennok’s flashing technique, but it is an artifact created to easily build and remember the boundary line.
When he applied magic on top of the papyrus and made a hand sign, the barrier formed along the movement gently projected onto the floor and rotated.
Woooooo!!
The barrier that filled the room and glowed at some point rose from the floor and elegantly embraced the heavenly sphere.
The intricately engraved boundary line vibrated on the outer surface of the sphere and soon melted as if it had never existed in the first place.
While Lennok wiped his hands and got up to collect the papyrus, Lapis, who came closer and touched the heavenly sphere, spoke in a surprised voice.
“The magic power of the heavenly sphere is much more stable than before…Evan-sama, this can’t be… … .!”
Shouldn’t it be at least the same Ascendant’s spell if it was a spell and skill enough to stabilize the Lighthouse Keeper’s sphere by touching it directly?
Lennok nodded.
“It’s Jindun’s barrier technique.”
“…!!”
Lapis swallowed his breath with a pale complexion.
Lennok, in a calm tone, revealed to her one of his secrets.
“I met Jindun at the end of the labyrinth of Hanghasa and inherited the barrier art.”
“Evan-sama, that’s… … !!”
“I thought you already guessed. After all, I was the only one who remained sane in the labyrinth until the end.”
“Yes…But I didn’t expect you to have inherited the barrier art, not an artifact… … ”
said Lapis with a restless expression.
“It’s too dangerous for you to tell me this…. If others knew about it, the situation was too….”
“I thought I’d talk about it separately once I’ve mastered the barrier art.”
Saying that, Lennok met Lapis’ gaze.
“In a way, it was thanks to you that I was able to meet Jindun and hear his story for the last time.”
“….”
“I understand that your plan to build a new lighthouse has an effect.”
“Well then…!!”
“But I can’t be a watcher.”
When Lennok cut his words like a knife, Lapis’ expression turned sullen again.
Seeing that expression, Lennok smiled.
“As long as you have inherited the spells of other ascendants, you will not be bound by the blue eyes. Instead, cooperate with the Qing Eye plan.”
It was not for nothing that Lennok had inherited Jindun’s barrier art at this point.
Stabilizing the lighthouse’s magical power and output through shielding and protecting it from external variables is also important.
It is because Evan inherits Jindun’s shielding technique and makes a justification that he cannot officially receive the work of the watcher.
In a situation where the Blue Eye is rapidly growing, there must be a cause like this to be able to work with the Blue Eye at an appropriate distance.
Furthermore, according to Lapis’ words, what she wants is to use the lighthouses across the continent to draw a showdown in the constellations of the night sky.
Where else would be a suitable time to reveal that he knew how to use Jindun’s barrier technique like now?
“As it has been a long time since I visited, I have no intention of going back after only hearing a rough explanation.”
Standing up, Lennok looked down at Lapis and smiled.
“If you prepare the necessary catalyst, I will help you build the lighthouse barrier. Are you okay?”
* * *
After that, Lennok spent his time constructing barriers around the celestial sphere and the lighthouse, guided by Lapis.
In addition to the celestial sphere, it is built and built up by combining security barriers and blocking barriers in the valleys of the mountain range and the valleys of the mountain range.
A confrontation system created so that the barriers created throughout the mountain range resonate and sublimate to a scale that covers the entire lighthouse.
It’s still not comparable to the barrier of the moon made by Cheongyeon, but it’s as sophisticated as Lennok, who has fully inherited Jindun’s barrier technique, uses it… … .
To the extent that the observers who watched Lapis and Lennok wandering around the lighthouse were amazed at the level.
“I didn’t know that Evan-nim would learn this level of advanced barrier art….”
“Look at how much area we worked on in just one day today. The speed of construction is unbelievable.”
“At this rate, you don’t even need to invite Stania Monastery. It seems a lot more stable than what the monks over there use.”
Watchers stuck out their tongues as they watched the magic light spreading subtly below the lighthouse.
As much as Lennok changed his magic pattern and used it, he didn’t recognize that it was Jindun’s shielding technique, but there were quite a few observers who were well versed enough to know what level it was.
“Now I understand why Lapis-nim tried to call Evan last.”
“For a wizard who can handle barrier arts like that, it’s better to leave the job after the operation is over.”
“No, Evan is a battle mage of exceptional level among us. I didn’t find him in the Valley of the Poor for no reason.”
“A barrier magician like that was originally a warmage? There was no particular reason he was so busy that he couldn’t even come to the lighthouse.”
“….”
Somehow, he didn’t say anything, but he heard sounds like his reputation going up here and there, but Lennok ignored it and concentrated on building the barrier.
It was because even Lennok himself had not had many opportunities to use the field barrier technique to his heart’s content.
If handled to the extreme, the barrier art crafted by the ascendant’s talent and discernment can reach a level where the concept itself is confined and manipulated like Jindun.
Although Lennok hadn’t been able to handle barrier art at that level yet, he was aware of the fact that this technique inherited from Jindun could be used in many different ways.
Except for the downside of requiring various catalysts and time to draw barriers and maintain the techniques, it was the power of barrier techniques that could be applied to virtually any field and technique system.
Lapis followed Lennok around carefully while he was building the barrier.
Since he knew that Lennok was using Jindun’s shielding technique, he must be worried that the information might leak out.
“Are you almost done?”
“Ah yes! In fact, even now, it’s more like a garage than planned, but… … .”
Lapis muttered in a slightly embarrassed voice and lowered her head.
“I’ll only ask for the underground cavity at the bottom of the spire.”
“okay. After that, let’s hear about this operation.”
“…yes?”
Lennok smiled at Lapis’ slightly embarrassed face.
“If you simply wanted to explain all of this, you wouldn’t have called me at this point.”
“….”
“Isn’t it only now that you’ve requested reinforcements because you thought there was something you needed help with?”
Lapis is one of the people who knows best, even indirectly, about Lennok’s fighting abilities.
Even if that wasn’t the case, if she, who was secretly in trouble with Lennok, had a big heart and invited him to this place, it wouldn’t be over with just one business.
Unless it was an issue that required Lennok’s power, such as a drug lord or the case of the Hanghasa Labyrinth, there was no way he would be called at the end of the attack on the valley of the wave.
Only then did Lapis touch my cheek with a slightly embarrassed expression.
“Is it possible that my face shows so much?”
“so so.”
“that…. no.”
Lapis, who paused with an expression that wanted to ask something, let out a small sigh and turned around.
“Among the watchers who set out to explore the unexplored area, there is one team that has been reporting top-rated performance and risk at the same time.”
“The highest grade?”
“I haven’t heard the proper story yet, but I want Evan-sama to be with them at the meeting.”
After saying that, Lapis suddenly raised her gaze.
“Oh, I think you’ve come just in time.”
At that moment, somewhere in the sky, a noise like hundreds of pieces of paper brushing began to resonate.
Charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
At the same time as a light breeze blew from the sky over the mountain range, hundreds of bright yellow pieces of paper fluttered and started drawing huge circles.
Unknown hieroglyphs written on each piece of yellow paper.
The moment Lennok’s eyes narrowed as he realized that it was the form of an amulet he was familiar with.
The circle created by the piles of amulets began to slowly descend from the sky toward the summit peak where the lighthouse was located.
Cheer up!!!
As they get closer to the ground, the rotation of the talisman pile becomes more intense, the circle’s radius narrows, and they begin to coalesce.
The circle, which was close to several tens of meters in diameter, narrowed and changed into the shape of a door that one person could enter and exit.
The moment when the bright yellow door, made by compressing the amulet to the fullest, landed in the front yard of the lighthouse.
jump!!
The door opened wide and three or four people quickly walked out of it.
“So, isn’t the attempt itself a problem to attack from the front in the first place?”
“Are you saying we should have checked secretly and left?”
“The bodies were piled up like mountains. It should be called confirmation. How can I get past that?”
“I have to report it to Lapis-sama and think of another way….”
The door opens, and all the supermen who walk out with the sound of chatter are shedding unusual momentum.
The appearance of the party moving toward the spire of the lighthouse without hesitation, regardless of the other observers watching them from around them.
Among them, Lennok checked the man wearing the amulet all over his body as he walked with his hands behind his back and shut his mouth.
A level 8 talisman who saved Jebyeok’s life at the end of Kaiushu in the West Continent.
Gein, who had said that he had come to be with Lapis as a watcher, appeared in person on the East Continent.
At some point, Gap-seon’s gaze, which was quietly looking around the pylon while wearing an amulet, stopped precisely at Lenok.
[…] … .]
“….”
An intense sense of déjà vu that feels like it’s not the first time for Lennok.
Gab-seon seemed to be tilting his head over the amulet mask, whose expression was not visible.
