Chapter 59. Surprisingly Clumsy (2)
The Axis of Time.
When it first appeared, Chase, Louise, and Devlan saw it together. After some time, Chase, who was alone at the place where the axis disappeared, regained his memories, but Louise and Devlan did not. After that, Louise and Devlan met the elves. Before long, Louise found her memories, but not Devlan.
When I first found out that Chase had found his memories, I thought it might be because he saw the axis of time or was in a place where the axis of time disappeared. But Louise remembered Bern.
“Devlan was unable to find his memories until the end. I think it may be because he had already died long before the events of that day, but I am not sure.”
Calian’s voice continued after he closed his mouth for a moment and gathered his thoughts.
“Brother Chase, who saw both the axis of time and the axis disappearing, faced in a dream what happened to himself in the past. And my mother, who saw the axis of time but was not there when it disappeared, met the elves… …. It is said that she started dreaming only after seeing images of times that she could not experience in person. But the dream that she said she saw for the first time seemed to be similar to the one I saw when I met Mother Tree.”
He did not tell me exactly what scene he saw when he met the Mother Tree in the Elven City. However, thanks to Calian’s reaction on the day he received the Sinasta there, Plantz also noticed it a little.
I wonder if I saw things I didn’t know I had seen before I died. do.
Of course, he did not reveal everything he saw, but Calian knew that he would have noticed to some extent. That’s why I talk comfortably like this.
“But I can’t figure out the standard for finding memories based on that alone. I saw the axis of time, or in front of the axis of time…” “
I understand.”
“yes.”
It must have been the end before the axis of time.
Plantz did a good job of cutting out the story that Kalian found difficult to say out loud.
“In any case, it is not easy to determine the standard based on that level of commonality alone.”
“I wonder why.”
“Yes. I don’t know the criteria, but that’s also why I found the memory. If it was just Brother Chase, I can still guess to some extent, but I heard that even my mother had a dream.”
We can’t view Louise’s dream simply as something she experienced because of her special affection for her son.
“So you left it behind?”
“Are you talking about Hinawa Kirie?”
“All three.”
“Even Aila. Yes, that’s right. I left it behind because I don’t know the criteria for returning memories.”
Plantz nodded.
Because it was a long way to Brigitte’s Forest, all three of them walked in silence at first, but boredom soon set in. So, while talking about various things, the current topic came up.
Why did they take Arsene away but leave siblings Bern and Aila behind?
“I thought that the mother tree might have influenced the search for memories. Although the three of them did not see the axis of time, I was worried that even one of them might have a dream, so I told them to just stay in the villa. At least those three “I don’t want you to know what happened in the past forever.”
There is no need to reveal and live with wounds that were not inflicted in this life.
“I know that Hina and Kirie wanted to go to that forest, and Eila was curious, but even if we all come back here together, it won’t be now, but later. After a little more… more time has passed.”
“okay.”
Plantz nodded.
Arsene, who had been quietly listening to their conversation, looked at Calian.
“Then are you okay with me searching for your memories, Prince?”
It was a question about being dragged in like this without asking about his will, and Calian answered with a slightly mischievous smile.
“I think it would be nice if Lord Hertz found that memory.”
Hina and the other two Takkari are so nurturing and pampered, but they don’t pay much attention to the crazy Takkari. Arsene exclaimed in frustration, thinking he would give more attention to the dog raised next door.
“Prince, aren’t you worried about me?”
“Yeah. I don’t.”
Of course, to be honest, Calian wished that the two of them had not gone together either. Not only for the three remaining in the villa, but for the two here as well, there is no need to intentionally think about things that have already disappeared.
Did Plantz really use the axis of time, why did he use it, and how did he use it? There is a reason to know this quickly, and why do you not know that the people who know more about it more accurately than anyone else are Planz and Arsene? Nevertheless, I just didn’t feel like it.
– Brother, I’m thinking of following you.
– of course.
But the pea has to be a quiet person.
Kalian also knew that it was much more important to prevent the past from happening again than to ignore it. I wasn’t blocking it because I didn’t know.
– Take the crazy blue-haired wizard with you.
– No matter how much you are Lord Hertz, you can’t help but be influenced by past memories.
– I’m not saying we should take someone who won’t be affected.
– Then, check with Dr. Hertz…
– I’ll talk to you. I.
– All right.
Of course, Calian didn’t know before leaving that Planz, who went to Arsene without hesitation after this conversation, would call him out with just one word, ‘Follow me.’ I was just trying to change my mind to the idea that since it was going to end up like this anyway, it would be better in many ways to quickly retrieve the memories and prepare properly, regardless of whether it was Planz or Arsene.
Anyway, I brought Arsene in under the pretext of security. To put it nicely, it was a sign of faith, but to put it more bluntly, it was a second measure in case Plantz’s memory never returned.
“Are you afraid that you might remember something from the past?”
“There is no reason to be reluctant. In fact, I think they will welcome it.”
“Good. And aren’t you past the age where you need to worry about me?”
“It’s true that it was the past. Still, the president of the association was worried about me.”
“Then why don’t you go and get the president of the association?”
“No, my prince. I made a mistake.”
On Euria’s side, Arsene, who wanted to be something other than Takkari, quickly spoke up. Calian, who was laughing while looking at Arsene, pretended not to know anything and said something else.
“If you have any strange dreams after going to the forest, let me know.”
“If I remember what happened, will you give me a gift?”
“I’ll break your spoon.”
“great.”
Arsene’s face lights up.
He’s definitely crazy.
Arsene, who could not possibly miss this great opportunity, opened his mouth again, perhaps knowing that Planz had a shocked expression on his face.
“Since you are giving me a gift, then a statue of the prince, too.”
“I can erect a statue of Sir Hertz, including a memorial with a beautiful transcription of the reflection written by the Lord.”
“Ah…”
“I’ll ask my older brother to transcribe the epitaph. My older brother is also good at writing.”
“No, my prince. I made a mistake.”
While we were having this friendly conversation, we gradually got closer to Brigitte’s Forest. Still, because the distance was long, we returned to the villa early in the morning, prepared for the hunt, and set off immediately, but the sun was already setting.
And then we met.
-Ssssssssssssssssss!
Serjane is being attacked by someone.
“Even if I came right after lunch with His Majesty King Secretia, the timing is not right. I wonder how the Crown Prince of Tensil is here.”
First of all, I spoke loudly because I had eyes to see.
However, it did not include respect.
“If it had gone according to plan, we would have arrived at the palace on time. But things went a bit off.”
“But you look very relaxed.”
“Reinforcements have arrived, so it’s okay to relax.”
‘Serjane’, who did not tell me his real name, answered in a tone that seemed to indicate there was no urgency. It was as if he had forgotten that he had been threatened just a moment ago.
“We have no intention of meddling in that matter.”
While the knights who were less aware of the situation were taking turns looking at Calian and Serzane, Serzane pointed towards Planz. To be precise, it was aimed at the huge ink-colored bow with beautiful silver work that Planz still had not let go of.
“Isn’t your preparedness so great that you don’t want to interfere?”
“Because I’m hunting.”
The group of six knights were suspicious at first glance, and the rest were suspicious, but I had only met them once. So, he stopped the knights from trying to kill the living Crown Prince Tensil. But that doesn’t mean you have to take Serjane’s side unconditionally.
“why.”
Planz, who was aiming at the knights again, spoke briefly, and Serjane’s expression changed strangely. So Kalyan quickly intervened.
“If you don’t tell me why you’re here, I’m just going to leave.”
“… I didn’t know it was that long.”
Among the knights who had been listening to the story up to this point, one brown-haired person winked at the others. They also did not know who the people who had entered the forest and fired arrows at them were. Each person’s appearance stood out too much to be recognized.
The brown-haired knight looked at the scene for a moment and nodded his head very slightly. This meant that there was no way to win against Calian and Arsene, so let’s leave for now. When the knights who saw this tried to move their feet all at once.
– Peeing!
-Ssam!
One arrow stopped the knights.
“I never told you to go.”
Planz looked at the arrow stuck at the feet of the knight standing in front and let out a low voice.
“Holy Knights.”
A sacred knight of Tensil.
Their eyes turned fierce. Although he was wearing light armor, there was no sign of a tensile or any sign indicating that he was a holy knight. However, since he recognized his identity at a glance, he reacted that way.
“I heard you were attacking me for some reason.”
Calian made a small sound like a whisper.
Anyway, I thought it wasn’t the plan to start with the Katabuta attack, but now I know there was a reason.
The healers of Tensil who visited Kairis at the last Lemain’s birthday festival. To be exact, holy knights disguised as healers. I think I saw them.
If you’ve seen it, you won’t forget it.
“I feel so proud every time you come forward in such a smart way.”
“My brother barks so well that even Tensil will be known.”
“They already know how to bite well. It’s okay.”
Wasn’t it Kalian who was so angry at Randel that he threatened to kill him and told him to send the Holy Knights out immediately? So, it is obvious without even looking at how the rumor about Calian is spread among the people in Tensil over there.
“So. What are you going to do?”
“Can I just kill them all?”
Plantz and Arsene spoke at the same time.
Plants spoke a little louder and Arsene spoke a little louder.
From here, you can see the knights who were caught between Serjane and Calian’s group tightening their hands holding their swords.
Calian shook his head.
Because there is no gain in killing Tensil Knight in the land of Secretia.
“No, first of all…”
But then.
– Hwiik!
Before Calian could finish speaking, Serzane moved.
He quickly swung his sword at the knights who had taken their gaze away from him to focus on the three. As if saying that he uses a sword himself wasn’t a lie.
– Suddenly!
– Kwasik!
A deep wound appears on one’s neck that cannot be healed.
Another person’s heart was pierced from behind.
– Slurp!
Even though they are able to exercise healing power on themselves or each other, they cannot bring back life that has already been extinguished. Because of this, the two knights who lost their lives in a single blow were left helpless on the floor.
Serjane played with his feet again. It was directed at the remaining four knights who had been threatening him so far.
As the situation unfolded so quickly, a cold feeling formed on Arsene’s fingertips, and Plantz grabbed a sword instead of a bow. And Kalyan.
“We’re talking. Now. Me.”
Before I knew it, I was standing between Serzane and the knights.
The wind, unable to keep up with the speed, blew a little later and brushed past Kalian’s clothes.
– Ugh!
A red and transparent energy illuminates the forest that was beginning to be immersed in darkness. Calian, who was holding a long sword in his hand, stared at Serzane with eyes even redder than the sword.
“Let’s start by explaining why there is an uproar in someone else’s country and then fight.”
“… That’s really fast.”
“You don’t have to tell me that because I know best. Explain.”
“If I explain it, they’ll understand.”
Serzane, who killed two people in the blink of an eye, said with a grin. As if everything in his relaxed voice up until now had been a lie, upon closer inspection, it was clear that he was trying to calm his anger.
“If you don’t tell me, you too will die. To me.”
“You had a vicious temper.”
“It’s better to just kill them all than to get vaguely involved and cause trouble for Kairis and Secretia. It’s not a problem to get rid of the bodies if I want to.”
If I kill everyone here and say I never met Tensil’s fake crown prince, who will know? Even if you know, there is nothing you can do without any evidence.
“It was self-defense. The knights attacked first.”
“You should also state the evidence.”
“The people who died here are not Holy Knights. If you bring your healer to check, you will find out.”
It’s as if healers can recognize each other’s powers. However, since Hina was not an ordinary healer, I thought she probably would not know such a method. Even if I knew, I didn’t have the heart to ask them to bring the body and check it out.
Instead, it’s up to Plantz to check.
We might be able to find out if any of the dead were among the Holy Knights who came to Kairis.
“I thought they were my bodyguards, but they’re trying to kill me.”
“Behind the scenes.”
“I don’t know. I’m leaving just one person to find out.”
“Why did you come here?”
“Meet someone.”
“who.”
Serjane’s answer did not follow immediately.
Calian, who was watching this, opened his mouth.
“Lowering.”
“why.”
“Please tell His Majesty King Secretia that Crown Prince Tensil is here.”
“okay.”
Immediately, the ring Flanz was wearing began to glow.
The ring was given to Calian in exchange for a crystal plate, and unlike the crystal plate, it was an item whose purpose was quite well known. So much so that I recognized Evan from a long time ago.
“for a moment.”
Therefore, Serjane, who also found out the purpose of the ring, stopped Plantz. And then he opened his mouth.
“I came to meet someone.”
“who.”
“……Mother tree.”
Calian’s eyes narrowed.
“You said ‘Danu’. Why?”
“Let’s meet for a moment.”
Serjane paused. Calian did not miss the fact that the face changed slightly and then quickly returned.
“Serjane. How do you know Danu’s name?”
The name of the mother tree was not very well known.
Didn’t even Calian, who had met the Mother Tree in person, become aware of it thanks to hearing Sispanian’s words?
In the first place, it was suspicious to know that the mother tree was here, but not only did I know that the tree existed, but I also knew its name.
“That’s fun. You.”
Calian’s happy voice rang low.
At the same time, four small daggers emerged from behind Calian. And then it flew towards the four remaining knights.
– Easy profit!
By the time you see the dagger created, it is already difficult to use. The only thing visible to the eye is a red afterimage, a sword that cannot be blocked or avoided.
– Pow!
Therefore, before long, four dull sounds rang out, and the four people standing behind Calian fell to the floor.
Even though he knocked out all of his targets, Calian’s dagger did not stop.
The four daggers floating in the air seemed to come together in one place, and then flew fiercely toward a certain point in the empty space.
– Kaaaaang!
A sharp sound is heard in a space where there was nothing.
A pretty smile appeared on Calian’s lips as he confirmed this.
“I was wondering where it had disappeared to. It went to you.”
An ice spear was created at the end of Arsene’s finger, and Plantz took a step back.
“Adelia.”
Calian’s horrifying voice was directed at Serzane.
