Chapter 84. I was so fooled (4)
.
I am a person and he is my younger brother. If I am a person and he is my younger brother, then it is true that he is also a person. That would be correct. But why?
Why do barking and biting naturally come into play when you say you are good at something? Since it barks every day, I kept saying that it barks every day, and now even with that good brain, I guess it has forgotten whether it is a human, a dog, or some other unknown beast.
Plus, why am I?
Have you finally realized that my younger brother said that?
It’s because I started thinking this way.
I guess it was my fault for turning one of my younger siblings into one instead of one. I guess I’ve ruined my little brother, even though I’ve never actually seen a dog. That’s why I thought that way.
That’s why I remembered it.
‘Brother, brother.’
okay.
That must have been why I remembered it.
A book from my childhood.
‘Brother, look at this. They say there is such a big dog in the Great Desert.’
I’ve never seen a dog closely before. To be honest, the number of times I’ve seen a dog, even from afar, is on the count. Even guard dogs, which were quite common in aristocratic mansions, were not kept in the royal palace. Since there was Sispanian security magic, there was no reason to keep guard dogs in the palace.
Occasionally, when I went out of the palace, I would briefly see the large and small dogs that people were walking around with, but of course I never had to look at those dogs up close. Everyone was busy holding on to their dogs and retreating right in front of them, fearing that they might injure the royal family.
At least I saw a dog with curly brown fur at Siegfried’s ducal residence, but I didn’t keep an eye on it for a long time. At first, it was because I didn’t have the heart to pay attention to such things, and later because I remembered Rerick’s words that cats hate the smell of dogs.
Thanks to you, the only dog I’ve ever seen closely in my life is funny.
‘It’s a dog that lives in the great desert of the north.’
That one day. A book that was thrust in front of my eyes after a class on the environment of the Continent of Cysterra. All that was depicted there was a huge silver-grey dog.
He approached me arbitrarily and showed me a place I hadn’t even learned about yet. Didn’t you notice that I was about to leave as soon as class was over? or not.
As always, did you pretend not to notice?
‘They say it’s much bigger than a person. Still, I don’t think it’s scary. ‘I think it’ll be warm.’
The story continued.
As if something that was just a painting felt soft. As if it would hurt if I touched it too hard. As if curious, as if curious, I carefully stroked the long fur in the picture, which had no warmth, with my fingertips.
‘Your eyes are really pretty. Is it really this color? ‘Do you think he has lavender eyes?’
I hear a voice at the edge of that memory.
I feel a pang of regret at the end of that memory.
It only looks that way because of the color of the book paper. Don’t the rivers and skies depicted in other chapters all look light purple? And that big thing is not a puppy, it’s a dog.
I should have told you. Still, like you said, it won’t be scary. It is obviously an animal that must survive winter throughout its life.
It’ll be warm.
I should have told you.
‘I am, brother. ‘I’m going to get a puppy.’
Please explain.
…talk about it. Conversation.
I should have done it.
“I’ve been thinking about it.”
As the light faded, there was darkness.
The walls and gates disappeared, the wind and smoke disappeared, and the smell of blood disappeared. Instead of everything, I only heard darkness.
I quietly opened my mouth while standing in a place where I couldn’t even see my fingertips, let alone an inch in front of me.
“After my younger brother changed, he was strangely wary of my mother. Why did the King of Secretia become so hostile towards my mother as soon as he came here? Why on earth did he hate Brisen when he grabbed my outstretched hand without even throwing it away? “I’ve been thinking about it.”
Danu didn’t answer. He continued to remain silent as if he would be left forever in the deep, dark darkness. I continued speaking without paying attention to it.
“Perhaps Calian. That child must have been no different in the past than he is now. Probably, he must have lost his life at the hands of my mother.”
The reason that Calian did not talk about the Calian of the ‘past’ and that the king of Secretia did not tell him about the Calian he had seen and heard about was not because Calian’s life disappeared due to Calian’s life.
…… I guess it didn’t exist. Even in the past.
So Kalyan would not have told us about how the child lived in the past. I couldn’t have told you. I had already realized this from a long time ago, from the day I met the king of that day in the basement of Heisia, even longer ago from the day I sat down in front of the training hall and said I wanted to live, even before.
“Things before my brother changed would have been the same as in the past. If so, the poisoned tea given to Calian would have been no different. What did I do to make it ultimately irreversible? Did I not know that?”
Because I was so concerned about the fact that Bern was inside Calian, I couldn’t think much about it because I realized that not only did my personality change after cutting my bangs, but the person inside it completely changed. It’s not about the appearance that dries up day by day, but whether it’s possible for someone to become a completely different person overnight, and whether it’s possible for the same person to have such different eyes, and if not, what happened.
If he really became a different person, what happened to the original Kalyan? In trying to figure it out, I didn’t even pay attention to the issue of Calian’s body drying out.
But that wouldn’t have been the case in the past.
In the past, there was Bern in Secretia and Calian in Kairis. Even at that time, Kalyan would have been given the poisoned tea and become dry in the same way. Why would I have noticed the dryness in the past? somehow.
“Whether the child noticed or not, I did. If it were me, I would have noticed that poisoned car. Even then, I wouldn’t have done anything. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t have stopped it in the end.”
Did I lose it by doing nothing?
I have my younger brother.
Plantz, who was speaking in a slow enough tone to be considered calm, closed his eyes for a moment. A low voice came out.
“No. I went out. At that time.”
Confident words were addressed to Danu.
If it were Plantz himself, he would have stepped forward. Unlike Plantz, Landel would not have come forward because his life would have been threatened by Briesen, but Plantz would have come forward.
I would have said not to drink poisoned tea.
Kalian, who was probably scared, was probably encouraged or forced to stop drinking it and refuse it, but he probably told him not to drink any more poisoned tea. Since he knew that Calian was learning magic, he would have told him to ask for help from the Wizards’ Association. They would have sent someone secretly to inform them that the prince who looked like a Sispanian had been learning magic on his own and told them to join hands.
Because Plantz was only that smart at that time.
“So he must have died. Calian.”
Because I wasn’t smart enough to know that such an action would lead to more poison. There is no way Silike could not figure out the movement that Calian was making with the magician’s forces on his back. If Silike knew that, he would not stop his hands, but rather move them faster. Plantz at that time would never have known. .
“My actions hastened Calian’s end. My mother would have called me and told me the truth.”
Calian of the past, who survived under Lemain’s neglect, Silike’s poison, and Randel’s ignorance, must have ended up dying due to Plantz’s clumsy intelligence. I told Danu what I found out on my own.
-What is your intention?
Danu’s voice finally reached the person who came even though he was not invited. I asked why he was saying something that was not said or asked.
Plantz, with a calm face, answered,
“I’m telling you that you already know what started me going crazy without you needing to show me the memories of that time. It’s a wasted effort.”
Danu was silent again.
Plantz, not paying any attention, opened his mouth.
“He showed me my memories. In front of the castle gate, saying it was a tragedy I created. He showed me the image of my younger brother, who ended up dying while trying to protect everything except himself from me.”
I don’t know what I’m standing on right now. Are you standing or sitting with your knees bent? He spoke calmly in the unusual darkness where even he could not be distinguished.
“But isn’t that a warning? If you wanted to be alert, reflect, and be on guard, shouldn’t you have shown me messing with the axis of time? It would have been better for me to have told you about the end of the world that my sister’s mother said she saw. “I think it would be more effective to tell them why I moved the axis of time and teach them not to repeat it.”
– Do not evaluate carelessly.
“You don’t know.”
– what.
“Why did I move the axis of time? You don’t know either.”
The darkness moved.
I couldn’t see anything, but I definitely felt that way.
“Even though I searched through all the memories of me and my brother, I couldn’t figure it out. Whether it was Serenti’s arrangement or some other reason, I looked through all the memories of other dead people and couldn’t find anything that could be the reason. Because I couldn’t find a way to stop it. .”
– Don’t judge hastily.
“Because you, who only remember the past, cannot foresee the future. Because you will not be able to see what is ahead. Because you were not born for the future.”
The darkness moved.
There was nothing visible, but it was definitely moving.
‘Dhanu said he stood by.’
‘As the first life to be born in this world, I have only watched it all.’
‘Watching and remembering is the essence and limitation of Danu.’
‘I remember everything, but that’s why Danu can only be in the past. You can never predict the immediate future. It’s not that you lack ability, your thoughts are short, and your ideology is different, it’s that it’s impossible. Danu.’
This is not the voice Calian delivered a moment ago. The thought of the huge amount handed to me as if it had been thrown away came back to me.
‘That’s how Danu learned about the future. As time went back, I learned about the future. Danu, who had kept the past in mind for a long time, is now able to think about the future for the first time.’
‘But that’s not the real future. It may happen in the future, but it is clearly in the past.’
‘Danu will never know the difference. Just as I don’t understand the difference between the Mad King and my older brother in the past, I don’t understand how to prevent the world from collapsing and turning back time. If the older brother of the past and the older brother of the present are different, I can’t think of a way to prevent that. This can only be prevented if everything remains unchanged. Danu.’
You can only change it if it doesn’t change.
Because Danu can only do that.
“So, did you try to make me go crazy and let my thoughts run wild? In the past, you only looked at King Secretia, not me, so you missed me. This time, since that king is not there, you want to make sure you don’t make a mistake and check the reason by watching me.”
The first Bern turned the axis of time.
Danu saw the end of the world.
Time went back. Danu watched Bern. I wanted to know why. But I couldn’t figure it out. Therefore, the movement of time could not be stopped. Moreover, the ‘second’ was not by Bern. By Plantz’s hand, the world was turned back and Bern was erased. This time too, I didn’t know the reason.
Danu thought.
‘I thought we should eliminate variables.’
‘Everything the same. So that nothing changes.’
That’s what I thought.
Danu says this time we should not create a future that cannot be predicted with variables that can never be controlled.
“Because of your actions, my younger brother dies again, and under your watch, I go crazy once again and find a ‘reason’ that you didn’t know about. You look at me and find out. So if I turn back time again and disappear, erased and forgotten along with my younger brother. In the time gone back, you stand alone at a starting point that has an advantage over anyone else, so you can play the hero alone.”
– It’s not like humans playing the hero.
“Okay. “What is it?”
– I’m trying to save someone.
“Who. what. Why you.”
– Everyone. Everything. Naturally.
“How. Me and my younger brother are not in all of them. How on earth?”
Danu didn’t answer.
Because he wouldn’t know. He too.
‘Me, brother.’
“I don’t have to relive the past by cornering my brother and killing him, or if I go crazy, I can figure it out. I can figure it out and my brother can stop it. Whatever happens. “Somehow.”
Losing it once is enough.
‘I’ll get a puppy. Later.’
The child who said later.
The child who said he would raise a puppy
made him dream of stars in the sky.
“If my younger brother dies because of you. You too will fail. Forever.”
That once is enough.
A crazy person who was a star from the beginning and couldn’t even imagine his 27th birthday is now barely 30 years later and 50 years later. I have no intention of making that crazy person forget his future again. . I won’t lose it again.
Once was enough.
It’s already terrible enough. So,
“Unless you want to do it again. “Do n’t
interfere
.” Don’t interfere and ruin it
.
It’s presumptuous .
Between.
– Tap, tap, tap!
A pitch-black beast is excited.
Raven is excited. Not Calian. A pitch-black,
huge animal that couldn’t have known that it was running down a slippery downhill road with a lot of gravel and dirt. It created a cloud of dust under the dazzling sunlight. It was Raven who did that. Not Calian.
She is now blue-silver, not black.
– Kaaaaaaaa!
A strange problem has arisen in Whitlin. That problem. While investigating Navia Hazel, the most important witness, an elf assassin came in and tried to harm Navia. In addition, he stole the magic stone, which was valuable evidence and a great asset for Aela, Balkan, and the Wizard Association. So the leader of the
elves I came to the city of elves to complain to Narzan and retrieve the culprit and the evidence.
And then, oh my god.
The mother of the elves has kidnapped the crown prince of Kairis!
– Kaaaaang!
– Kaaang kaaaaaa!
For safety. Instead of being the crown prince of Kairis, he went so far as to disguise himself as the vice commander of the Vulcan army.
In order to show his intention to maintain amicable relations between the Kairis royal family and the elves, the firstborn lived as if there was no air outside his home. The third prince, who was accompanied by the prince and whose eyes were bright red as he was worried about the crown prince’s safety, said, ‘If the three royal families visit the elves at once, they will be very surprised and embarrassed, so I will ask for my brother, who is delicate, noble, and blessed, without burdening their hearts. I came here in disguise so that I could assist you safely and comfortably. I put
so much effort into coming here for peaceful conversation and negotiation. How could this be? Kidnapping.
That’s why. Instead
of
black fur, I was dressed in bluish-silver fur. Even though he was already feeling frustrated because of the leash that was tightened just like any other time, how great was it for the gentle animal to find out that the very leash that he had been trying to get used to was loose without help. You must have felt heartbroken.
“Don’t back down! Stop it!”
Thanks to you, I don’t know where the fragility, nobleness, and grace are, but in any case, it seems like the person who is the crown prince has suddenly disappeared, but there must be Mother Tree’s great will in this matter, and in any case, Mother Tree does not harm other living things, so please first. While I was telling them to calm down and listen to me, the number of elves who were struck by the brilliant pure white sword sheath and became twisted in many places was growing helplessly.
– Hwiik! Kaaaang!
– Tap, tap, tap!
– Kagang! Kang kaaaaang!
As soon as he entered the city of elves, he disappeared for a moment and reappeared, and when he realized that Plants was not by his side, he turned into a blue-silver blade. He went out to guard them, but when he saw that the crown prince had disappeared, he quickly panicked and rushed in front of the elves. And the sword was wielded without any hesitation.
The good news is that the sword did not come out of its sheath. Nevertheless, the unfortunate thing is that the scabbard is also made of metal.
– Kaaaaang!
– Bah!
If you get hit, it means it hurts anyway.
Even the dark brown venomous snakes that are the terror of the southern great desert are probably not faster than me. Even the silver-white beast that rules the great desert of the north would not be as ferocious as me.
The moment I looked into your eyes, my world turned upside down. I thought I had blocked the sword, but before I knew it, I was giving up the back of my head. I couldn’t even see the long blue-silver hair waving like a flag standing alone in a storm. The fifty elf warriors who had initially surrounded them collapsed without any help.
They say they couldn’t react properly because they shouldn’t hastily attack members of the royal family in a situation where the crown prince has disappeared. I couldn’t fire a single arrow. While trying to find excuses that I worked hard to come up with.
– Tap, tap, tap!
Raven ran down the middle of the road created by Calian. Randel and Kyrie’s horses followed, and Arsene’s empty horse, with Kyrie holding the reins, ran diligently after them.
Due to the sudden commotion, a group of warriors blocked the path again, and the same tragedy as before occurred. Calian never once drew a sword, applied an aura, or fired a magical arrow or spear. I just kicked my feet, stretched out my arm, and swung the sword without the scabbard.
As if light had fallen.
As if a brilliant light shines through the frost fog covering the wide ground.
– Kagang kagang!
– Ta-da-da-dan!
It became a fierce beam of light and ran towards the city of elves. I ran tirelessly towards the huge tree sparkling with countless lights under the sunlight and towards the deep blue sea that stretched out behind it.
Holding the sword guard and sheath with one hand. So that elf blood does not accidentally rub against that beautiful white sword. Hold the sword upside down so that the scabbard is towards the elbow and the handle is facing forward, extend the sword as if pouring in, and strike back very deeply.
– Kaaaang! Kagagaga River!
Not a single threat was made. Nothing was broken except the elves’ arms, legs, and chests. It didn’t cut, and it didn’t bark or bite.
– Diverse!
– Taaagh!
Until Raven finally stopped. Until we reach the deep blue sea where majestic waves higher than a person’s height are crashing down.
Because there was no slaughter, the sounds of the elves running after them, who were unable to use the same method of slaughter, were heard. It was the sound of the elves who had formed a defensive position surrounding the giant mother tree that Calian was rushing towards, and then followed Calian, who rushed towards the sea without even paying a single glance at the huge tree.
Only after hearing that sound did Calian raise his eyes. I turned my back to the sea and turned back to face the elves. They looked at Narzan, the leader of the elves who was in front of them.
“It seems like there is a deep misunderstanding between each other.”
Narzan took a step towards Kalian. Maybe he noticed the blood hidden in the light purple eyes and recognized the person standing here as Calian. I didn’t know until that point. As if to say that the first thing to do is to relax, the elf warriors who were putting their hands on the handles of their swords or holding their bows pointed towards the floor with great force stepped forward.
“I heard that the crown prince of Kairis has disappeared. You may have already heard that, but it is not an intention to attack. Your three princes who visited this place also came face to face with the Mother Tree in the same way.”
Narzan took a step closer again.
He held out his empty palm and conveyed the conversation.
“So don’t misunderstand.”
Calian, who scanned the elves and their elders with light purple eyes that seemed to show no emotions or thoughts, raised his head a little more. I looked down at Narzan with slightly downcast eyes.
– Jerk!
Kyrie took a step forward.
I covered Kalian in front of Narzan.
Meanwhile, the words that Plantz had conveyed were once again engraved in Calian’s ears.
– Other things first.
– Then which one?
– Go to the sea.
I did as I was told.
He came to the sea kindly and calmly.
I came to the sea that was churning as if it would swallow up anyone who set foot in it.
– I can’t swim.
– know.
– Shall we go anyway?
– okay.
Calian let out a long breath.
– If you go.
– sun. What you are good at.
Threaten, destroy, cut, bark, or dye.
Whatever you do, do it at sea.
That’s what Plants said.
-Arnaizel. The sea dragon that looked like a whale made of crystal.
– yes.
– It’ll be there.
maybe.
Although I added the words.
Anyway, that’s what I said.
Arnaizel and Danu might be related. Arnaizel, who used the power of the axis of time, is said to be in that sea.
So go into the sea.
Go and do everything you are good at. Do everything.
Do everything.
“…… under.”
Calian took a short breath.
I turned around and faced the sea again.
– Taaaat!
And then I rushed towards the wave.
