Chapter 773,
Chapter 190. Malliet Heister’s lore (3)
Ssik!
Theben and Jen looked at the two with quite burdened eyes, smiling from ear to ear.
Their faces were so full of anticipation that I could feel their hearts beating in spite of their ghostly form.
“…I did.”
[Ooooh! Look what did I say! If you hadn’t done that, you really couldn’t come in?]
[The lower golem and the evil monster didn’t lie, damn it. Take it!]
Apparently, the two of them made a bet on whether the descendents who would visit the lore site would keep the entry conditions.
The loser was Jen. Zen took out something like a wad of paper from his chest and held it out to Theben, but the golem sighed when he saw it.
[I’ve said it thousands of times, but they belong to me, not yours… Why make a bet with someone else’s?] Either way,
Theben snatched the paper from Zen and expressed his victory after 350 years with his whole body.
[Kyakyakya!]
Zen and Theben The two geniuses presumed to have created the ultra-long-distance communication device were in a state of disorientation.
It must be because of the fact that he ‘recorded himself on the traditional paper’ and the time of 350 years.
Even during that long time, only each other and the golem would have been everything to Jen and Theben.
Considering that the style of the correspondence was very calm, it was sad to see the two laughing happily.
“Looks like Theben Heister won, congratulations.”
Jin said so instead of showing a sign of regret.
I thought it would be better to match the atmosphere.
[Haha thank you! Did you say Gene Runcandel? People are very flexible for Runkandel!]
“Thank you. But what is the paper used for? It doesn’t look like money.”
[Ah, this is a magic storage paper. The golem keeps insisting that it is its own, but I want to know where it says that mine and yours are here. than that! I want to be congratulated not only by outsiders but also by our descendants.]
“Congratulations, Ancestor Theben.”
[Yes, yes. We’ve been waiting for you for a very long time.]
[Hey, I forgot that we were waiting for descendants not too long ago.]
[That’s unavoidable because there must have been history fabrication about our Heister family, Jen. Besides, we’re specters, so our memory is weak.]
[Ah, that’s right! Guys, how has our family been? Rutberga! Aren’t they destroyed?]
“All is well.”
For a while, Valeria explained to them how she met Saiel and came to the lore site.
[…Yes, I remember it more clearly. I’m so glad! Jen As expected, they couldn’t find your family. And our family couldn’t finish it either. Kyakyakak!]
[By the way, you guys came all the way here, why are you looking so normal? We wandered around for a few days and became like beggars.]
[That’s because the successful candidates this time used the side road. Possess a force that can ignore the set difficulty level.]
The traps installed in Malliet’s Succession Ground were originally set based on Honka.
It was designed so that if you managed to defeat Honka, you would reach the final point of the battleground after all sorts of hardships.
[Besides, since it is not an enemy, I also do not apply level 1 hostility. It displayed only 50% of its original fighting power. Even if I used all my abilities, there would have been no meaning.]
[Hmm, that’s unfair. If it was that simple, there is a feeling of getting the work we created very comfortably. Isn’t that right, Teben?]
[It is! We really worked hard!]
“Is that piece a communication device?”
[Yes, that’s the communication device!]
[Ultra-long-distance communication! Isn’t there anything like that out there even now?]
“Yes, there is none. The limit is to give a signal with an object like the wand of the Ziple Magic Tower.”
[I can’t. I can’t just give you that. Let’s take one more test.]
[Oh good. What test?]
[Let’s decide that while these guys look at the lore site. be nervous! If you don’t pass that test, we won’t give you a communication device.]
Jen and Theben ran off somewhere.
[Even now, he was once a great wizard engineer. Don’t worry too much about the test. It certainly won’t be difficult. Even if the two of them became fools, their duty and mission. I have never forgotten.]
Duty and mission as a record wizard and an engineer ahead of the times.
It was to hand over their inventions to those who deserved them.
They had some similarities with the ancestors of Runcandel, who were resurrected by the power of chaos in the Temple of Destruction but never corrupted.
Geeeeing….
As the golem reached out over Malliet’s records windows floating in the air, a pleasant vibration arose throughout the battlefield.
[The owner has foreseen a moment like today from a long time ago.]
“Prediction? What does that mean?”
[But fortunately, Valeria Heister. You don’t look very tired and lonely.]
Did Maliette know Valeria’s future in advance?
Jin watched the golem with such a question.
The golem’s hand was activating the record window.
[I will take you two to the master’s records, so lie down.]
As the two of them lay down, it started to get dark little by little.
Soon after, it became completely dark, and the record windows flowing like the blue Milky Way on the ceiling shone beautifully.
[You’ll feel like you’re going crazy. Do not deny
it.] After a while, the two of them were able to dive into the story of the past, just like when they drank king wine in Wantaramo Forest.
* * *
Jean and Valeria become observers in the video in translucent form.
April 1, 1391 Honka Island.
‘I think it’s a record of the day Maliette ancestor and Honka met.’
‘Looks like the fight just ended.’
Jin and Valeria looked at Honka, who was half frozen and gasping for breath.
It was before Honka had a name.
Maliette was a woman with a very mysterious appearance.
Honka’s huge body, not too small compared to Honka’s, red hair that covered more than half of her body, and playfully twinkling eyes.
Jean and Valeria were momentarily overwhelmed by her figure and opened their mouths. It was the first time both of them had seen someone this big.
Even Hedo wouldn’t look very tall next to Maliette.
“Why on earth do you live alone on this island and bully the people who come nearby? Even if you have already scolded me several times.”
[There is no such thing as a reason for excitement. If you’re going to kill me, kill me!]
“If you had killed even one human, you would have done so. I just pretended to be an ocean current in the sea and chased people away, so my body looks cute. If you keep doing that, you’ll soon be caught by the Empire or Ziffle and subjugated. Therefore, repent of your sins through me and regain your light.”
[If you don’t like it?]
“Then I can’t help it. It’s a bit of an invasion of privacy, so I’m trying to refrain from doing so, but I have no choice but to look at your records. I need to know why you are doing this I think you will die if you wait any longer to hear it yourself.”
[What is that? What’s this! Why are my memories suddenly drawn in the air!]
“Um, yes. As I expected, you were the case when you had an introvert trying to overcome being bullied by humans and other creatures.”
[Ugh, stop it!]
“But normally, when you get a secret like that, you’re bound to find a weaker being and commit a massacre out of hatred, but instead, you chose complete seclusion. What does that mean? I mean, you deserve an award. Come here and give me a hug Are you frozen and can’t move? Then what am I going to do?”
Honka was frightened and made a disgusting noise, but when Malliet covered her with a huge body, she was drunk with an irresistible sense of security.
That’s how Maliette and the evil toad monster became friends. Malliet named him Honka after the name of the island.
For a moment, the fairytale-like memories of Maliette and Honka played.
The two of you sit around a campfire and eat together, or Malliet tells Honka stories of the outside world.
Honka didn’t open her heart to anyone except Maliette after that, but even if someone passed near the island, she never threatened her.
“Currently, a lot of histers come to the lore site I am making, but in the end, our family will be defeated by Ziffle and will decline. There will be fewer and fewer Histers coming here.”
[Even though you’re this strong, can’t you break Ziffle? They say Hester’s magic is the best.]
“They have far superior power than us and are even naive, so there’s nothing we can do about it. In any case, within a few hundred years… no, within a hundred years at the shortest, our family will be on the brink of extinction. How many people will survive? five? Maybe there will be only one left.”
[Why are you already talking like that, like someone leaving soon?]
“I don’t have much time left. Until then, we must complete the legacy that will give strength to the successors who will come to us when the family becomes weak someday.”
[What are you talking about? Are you sick?]
“It’s not a disease, it’s a curse. I was killed while fighting Ziffle’s Wraith. It’s a curse named Kai’an’s blood, but if you get caught, you’ll slowly be consumed by pain and die. My progress is currently about 50%. If I hold on well, I will have about three years left.”
Honka didn’t know how to react to the sudden approaching parting.
Maliette smiled at Honka.
“If I die, you will leave this place and meet new people. It would be enough to leave it to the golem we are making to protect the battleground.”
[No.]
“Then, one day, when it’s time for you to leave, you will regret it. The life of dying while missing me is so lonely. Will I care about you even if I die?”
[Stop talking about dying and find a way to lift the curse. If you’re willing to do that, I’ll leave the island together and help you.]
“Finding a method to lift a curse you don’t know where it is and completing a work for later generations. Of course my remaining time has to be spent on the latter. For my family, for me, and for the world.”
[Even if it’s not you, there are already many hitters making lore. Is that not enough?]
“Most of those guys are overly strict, so they will leave only a sense of duty to the exhausted future generations. My lore ground will be a more special resting place than that.”
Having said that, Maliette suddenly turned her head towards Jean and Valeria.
As an observer, it was an action to give the feeling of speaking directly to a later person who would have a glimpse of this record.
“So, you guys, enjoy the time I have left. I hope it can be a little comforting for the lonely and difficult life you all must have gone through.”
