Chapter 139
The dream I had was not a fiction, it was a real thing.
Those words messed with my head.
“Your head looks complicated.”
As if reading my complicated judgment through my expression, Aslan spoke calmly.
“Can I ask you one question?”
“what?”
I paused for a while and spoke slowly.
“The world in the dream was very peaceful. The city was so full of hope that even the seeds of small quarrels could not be found, let alone strife.”
“I guess so. It was right after the end of a war that had been going on for a long time, and complete peace had arrived.”
The capital of the Bytenor Empire was very beautiful and peaceful.
The birds were chirping, the children were laughing, and the adults were lively.
As Asran said, it was a peaceful scene right after all the wars were over.
“Nevertheless, Master was convinced that he would die soon.”
However, despite such a peaceful world, Master didn’t look as happy as he did.
Master looked at her trembling right arm and said that her lifespan was not long.
The sight was completely incomprehensible.
“What the hell happened in the past?”
The fact that the war ended and peace came means that the Bytenor Empire won the war.
I don’t know who the enemy was, but looking at the atmosphere of the capital, it must have been a near-perfect victory.
Nevertheless, Master was dying.
“Did you get seriously injured in the final battle?”
There is no victory without wounds.
Could Master’s wounds be the price of victory?
He suffered a fatal wound while fighting an unknown enemy, and did that wound lead to Master’s death?
“If so, who is it that hurts Master so much? Who in the world told Ray Bell Bytenor… … Was it possible to inflict such a wound on the founder of the by-tenor style?”
I didn’t understand this the most.
The creator of the bitenor style and the creator of magic.
A legendary wizard who is said to have shattered the sky, overturned the earth, made lightning rain, and transcended time and space.
I know better than anyone how strong a magician he was, and I, the successor to the Bytenor style, know better than anyone else.
No, you can tell just by looking at this place right now. It is the Ray Bell Bytenor that has great power to create a new world based on past records. He is my master.
Who and how did such a master lead to his death?
“how… … .”
I couldn’t quite understand that.
“hmm. I think you said you were asking just one question.”
Aslan replied with a calm expression.
“… … sorry. Talking about it, questions keep giving birth to new questions.”
“Well, it doesn’t matter. After all, the context was the same question. In short, what happened in the past. i want to know that Isn’t this?”
“yes. you’re right.”
Aslan closed his mouth and looked at me for a moment.
As if trying to peek at something through my eyes, look straight into my eyes.
“hmm.”
about 1 minute like that.
Aslan suddenly closed her eyes.
The frown between his eyebrows showed his complex examination.
“If that was a difficult question to answer… … .”
“no. It’s not awkward. The only reason I’m worried like this is because I don’t know how to explain from where to where. You may be surprised, but I’m not good at explaining.”
“… … .”
It was very surprising.
It seemed cool and intellectual, so I thought that explanations like this would be special.
“… … no It would be a lie to say it’s not awkward. It’s embarrassing to be honest. You’re explaining my private parts with my mouth.”
Aslan frowned even more sharply. From that expression, emotions such as regret came through without filtering.
‘… … Cheer up.’
For Aslan, who was Master’s vassal, Master’s death was shame itself.
I will still hate myself for not being able to protect Master.
I don’t know, but if it’s the personality of Aslan I saw in my dream, I’ll still keep it in my heart.
“good. I don’t even know how to explain it. It’s hard to explain, so I won’t answer your question.”
“yes? that… … .”
It was so self-indulgent that I lost my mind in an instant.
I won’t do it because I don’t want to.
What kind of irresponsible word is that?
“Don’t get me wrong. I said I wouldn’t answer, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t answer your questions.”
“… … yes?”
It was an incomprehensible word.
If you don’t answer, how can you answer my question?
“One more person besides me. There must be someone who can answer your questions.”
Someone besides Aslan who can clear my doubts.
If that’s the case… … .
“You mean Mimir?”
As far as I know, there is only Mimir.
“okay. Go back and listen to Mimir for details.”
“… … .”
I glared at Aslan.
Didn’t Mimir know that he couldn’t talk about it until he passed the fifth exam page?
“If you look at me with those eyes one more time, I will pluck out those eyeballs.”
Maybe my gaze was like that?
Aslan gave a warning with a sharp gaze.
I quickly looked away.
“As I said, of course I know about Mimir-sama’s restrictions.”
… … You knew.
“Then why… … ?”
To listen to Mimir, knowing that Mimir cannot speak due to restrictions.
What kind of bizarre logic is this?
“hmm. It seems clever, but it’s also oddly stupid in a place like this. I can’t imagine not noticing such an obvious thing.”
Aslan looked at the pathetic guy and clicked his tongue.
“Mimir-sama, until you pass the fifth test page, you can’t talk about things from the past because of the ban.”
Aslan said softly.
“And knowing that, I went outside and told Mimir to listen.”
My eyes slowly widened.
“I am the supervisor of the page of the fifth test.”
“no way… … .”
I thought I knew what Aslan was trying to say.
“The words you said passed me earlier… … It’s not just that you passed the first gate… … .”
“okay. would have said The wit and wisdom you showed. And his skills are enough to give him enough marks.”
The corner of Aslan’s mouth went up slightly.
“You have passed the fifth test page, the test of qualifications.”
My eyes got bigger than they could ever get.
“If you understand, go to Mimir.”
Aslan moved his right hand once horizontally and once vertically to draw a cross.
At that moment, the air slowly opened, and a rift was born.
No, should I call it a gate or a portal instead of a crack?
“Wake up. You should be able to move slowly.”
“yes? Could it happen already… … .”
Considering the pain earlier, it doesn’t make sense that it could happen already.
“It’s okay, get up.”
“Ah yes.”
I slowly got up from my seat.
I expected that the pain would come, but contrary to my expectations, the pain was not so great.
The recovery pain is still a bit lingering, but not so much that I can’t move.
‘What kind of medicinal effect is so fast?’
Earlier, that hellish pain seemed like a lie.
What drug did you give me?
“When it’s time to look at it with those eyes, hurry up and go in.”
Aslan pointed at the portal with his chin. I looked at the portal once, then turned my gaze back to Aslan.
“That, thank you.”
“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”
Aslan frowned with a cold expression.
“You saved my life and gave me medicine like this. thank you.”
“… … .”
“And until you let it pass so quickly. What should I say thank you for… … .”
Aslan’s gaze narrowed more and more.
“I will never forget this favor. Thanks again… … .”
“you. I hope you don’t think this will be the end.”
“… … yes?”
Aslan snorted.
My lord’s role is to evaluate you and teach you. These are two things. I haven’t even started teaching them yet.”
“ah.”
This is what Elena-sama also said.
You said that you are not only an examiner, but also a drill instructor.
“That means… … .”
“You passed only the first test. The second test hasn’t even started yet. stupid guy.”
“… … That, that’s right.”
For a moment, I was dumbfounded.
I said that because I thought it was the last time. that this won’t be the last
In the page of the third test, the page disappeared at the same time as it passed. Of course, I thought it would disappear at the same time as it passed this time.
“Don’t be cocky. you are still lacking The reason I said pass was because I thought you would safely pass through the labyrinth of desire. You are not yet ready to become the 6th circle.”
“… … yes. sorry.”
“If you know, go ahead. Don’t bother me any more.”
“yes. All right.”
Suppressing the recovery pain, I stood in front of the portal.
“Then see you later.”
Aslan did not answer.
I just send a gesture to go with my chin.
I bowed my head slightly to Aslan and entered the portal.
* * *
Returning to the room, I immediately headed for Mimir’s room.
“Mimir. I’m here.”
“Heir! It’s only been 5 hours, but how can I… … and… … .”
Mimir, who ran towards me with a shocked expression, lost his words when he saw my face.
“What is this like? What happened? Where are you hurt?”
Mimir quickly sat me down on the sofa and examined my body with a serious expression on his face.
“The Infinity Circle has become a rag. eww. what is this wound What mistake did you make?”
Mimir kept his mouth shut with an upset expression on his face.
“Looking at the fact that he came in 5 hours… … . successor. Are you trying to clear the labyrinth quickly? Ignoring my warning… … .”
“It’s not like that, so calm down.”
I moved my hands up and down, making a calming gesture.
“Then what? No matter how dangerous the page of the fifth test is, it’s not to the point that you can’t break it if you keep your mind straight.”
Mimir glared at me with his ax eye. She has a look on her face asking you to say something.
“That, at the first gateway… … .”
I slowly talked about what had happened on the pages of the fifth exam.
What four unranked disaster species were waiting for in each aisle.
What caused Darkness and Horus to fight to cross the passage.
Wounded in the battle between two monsters.
Lastly, through Fahe, the first thing that passed through the first gate, Aslan saved me.
He said everything without missing a single thing.
“This is how it happened.”
“… … .”
After hearing the story, Mimir’s expression became even more serious than before. Previously, it was a resentful expression stemming from worry, but now it is a murderous expression.
“Asran you idiot… … . You said you took out all four of the first gates… … .”
Mimir gritted his teeth.
It was an expression that showed Aslan feeling a sincere desire to live.
“He always does. It’s random every day. You don’t even think about other people’s feelings, you make your own judgments. So with Elena… … .”
As if the resentment that had been building up before had burst out, he began to mutter endlessly.
‘… … I wonder why Mimir didn’t tell me about endangered species outside the ranks. You just didn’t know.’
I wondered if he didn’t tell me about the most dangerous non-ranked disaster species after he told me everything else.
Now the question is solved.
“it’s annoying. Asran is really annoying.”
Mimir chewed his lips. As expected, the relationship between Aslan and Mimir is not so good.
No, I didn’t seem to hate Aslan that much.
Does Mimir dislike it one-sidedly?
“Anyway, you said you took the medicine Aslan gave you?”
“uh? uh. The effect was good.”
“okay. That’s it.”
The worry was completely gone from Mimir’s expression.
All that remains is the irritation towards Aslan.
“Since I ate Asran’s Elixir, the wound will heal within 5 hours. You can leave it alone.”
“… … Elixir? Is what I ate an elixir?”
Elixir.
It is a panacea that only appears in mythology. did i eat that?
“uh. Did you eat without knowing that?”
“… … uh. I just ate it because I was told to eat it.”
I didn’t know it was such a great drug.
“If he really explains something, where will he go? … .”
Mimir frowned again.
“Eh. tell me what are you doing”
Then, as soon as he realized that there was no meaning, he let out a sigh as the ground disappeared.
“Still, seeing that you even made an elixir, the successor must have liked it.”
“… … okay?”
It wasn’t that I didn’t really like it.
“huh. It’s 100% if you even let them pass.”
“… … hmm.”
haha
No matter what, the condition for passing was clearing the labyrinth, so there was no need to let them pass.
If you look at it like that, it seems like it’s right that you like me.
The attitude didn’t show any signs of that at all.
“Anyway, congratulations on passing the fifth test page.”
“thank you.”
Mimir clapped softly and congratulated me on my passing.
“But you came back so quickly? Didn’t you ask Aslan about Rey?”
“I asked. I asked… … .”
“Did you see it?”
“I was told to go out and listen to you?”
“… … .”
Mimir’s brow furrowed again.
“Leave this to me again… … ? this is real… … .”
Mimir grinded his teeth.
He seemed to know roughly what the relationship between Mimir and Aslan was like.
Mimir muttered at the speed of a quick-fire gun and cursed at Aslan.
About 3 minutes passed like that.
“Eh. The good me must endure.”
Mimir, who had a somewhat refreshed expression, turned his gaze to me.
“okay. What are you curious about? No, how far do you know?”
“hmm. I don’t know the details. It’s just that Master, for some reason, was judged terminally ill after the war… … ?”
“… … How do you know only the important things so pinpointed?”
“I experienced the memories of Aslan as a dream while I was fainting.”
“… … That’s where things hit the bottom again.”
Mimir nodded as if looking at a strange animal.
“I have to explain what happened from the beginning. Because you only know the outcome.”
“right.”
“okay. I get it roughly.”
Mimir stood up, cleared his throat a little, and bowed his head to me.
“First of all, before explaining. I should start with my introduction again.”
“I dare… Come now?”
“All right, listen quietly.”
Mimir lifted her skirt and bowed her head slightly.
Should I say it’s an aristocratic etiquette? I don’t know which country the greeting is from, but I knew right away that it was a formal etiquette.
“My name is Mimir. Mimir Bel Bytenor.”
“… … uh?”
what did you say now?
“The only direct descendant of Ray Bell Bytenor, and the first princess of the Bytenor Empire.”
“… … Princess?”
My eyes widened to the size of a lantern.
Mimir is Master’s daughter?
