Chapter 388
After that.
We sat down at a small table nearby and chatted.
“If there is anything you want to ask, ask anything. 10 minutes. Until I disappear, I will try to answer everything I can.”
10 minutes.
Master, who is embodied here and now, disappears after 10 minutes.
Because it achieved its purpose of testing me. for completing the assigned task. Now, he said he would go back to mana.
Master said so.
“then. I’m running out of time, so I’ll ask right away.”
10 minutes is a short time.
I quickly handed over the first question.
“While fighting the previous dragon. I heard this.”
“… … Dragon?”
Master’s eyes narrowed.
How did a dragon that was destroyed a long time ago come back to life?
It was such a questioning look.
“Your magic is very similar to ours.”
If I had had enough time, I could have solved Master’s question.
There is no time for that now.
I’m sorry, but solving my question is first.
I ignored Master’s questions and continued on with my words.
“As a percentage, it is about 85%. The other 15% are mixed with something foreign.”
“… … .”
Master’s eyes trembled momentarily.
I can almost guess what I will say next.
It looked like he was saying that.
“What was the sin of those 15%? … … I mean.”
Master looked straight into my eyes with a stiff expression.
Eyes tremble slightly.
It was the kind of eyes and facial expression that conveyed the complicated examination as it was.
“And the bale stall. He said the same thing.”
“… … A bale stall?”
Master’s eyes widened.
Surprise far beyond the level of surprise.
There’s no way the veil stall will be resurrected at this time.
It should still be a long time later.
Why had the veil stall already finished reviving?
It looked like he was asking.
“As long as the sins that make up your magic don’t disappear… … . say. Clearly he said so.”
Again, I ignored Master’s question.
As I said, there is no time to answer Master’s questions right now.
“What the hell is a bitenor’s sin?”
A question that I have not been able to find any clue even after thinking and considering it with Mimir for dozens of hours.
What is the alternative Bytenor sin?
“And one more. What do you mean Master and Bale Stoll were originally one?”
Think about it, because there is no answer.
All of the questions that I had been desperately trying not to think about were revealed.
“… … .”
Master closed her eyes.
Eyelids quiver finely.
You must be organizing your thoughts.
“I heard that… … . veil. You must have met him in person.”
“yes. met.”
Master slowly opened her eyes and made eye contact with me.
“You are still only in the 7th circle. veil. How could I have stayed alive even after meeting him? I’m very curious about that… … .”
Ichae flows from the eyes.
You look like you’re determined to do something.
“I won’t bother asking. I can’t waste this precious moment like that.”
Master, who is here right now, will disappear shortly after.
There is no point in answering the question.
Therefore, there is no point in dispelling my question.
Master’s words meant just that.
“Likewise, time is wasted, so I will speak directly without giving back.”
Master paused for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.
“Me and Bale. He originated from one being.”
“Do you mean brother?”
One of the hypotheses made by Mimir and I.
Ray Bell Bytenor and Bale Stoll are brothers from the same parents.
If the two of them were born with the same blood, it makes sense for Bale Stoll to say that they were ‘originated from one existence.’
“no. It doesn’t mean brothers. Literally, it means derived from one being.”
“… … .”
I’m not sure what you mean.
derived from the same being.
“I don’t know what you mean. He was originally a single person, but that doesn’t mean he split into two to become Master and Bale Stoll… … .”
A person is not an amoeba.
How can it be divided into two?
“That’s right.”
“… … yes?”
“As you said. It means that we are divided beings from one person.”
“… … .”
… … right?
“how… … Can a person split in two? Not some kind of mythical god… … .”
“You feel good.”
Master smiled bitterly.
“Me and Bale. He was the god of the age of mythology.”
“… … god?”
In an instant, a hypothesis passed through my head.
split.
god.
Bytenor.
Dragon’s horse.
And the end of the dragon I saw while dreaming of the dragon.
“I wonder if that god… … Is it the same god who led the dragons to destruction?”
In that dream, the man who introduced himself as God had the same face as Master.
The atmosphere he had was completely different, but his facial features were so similar that even he himself would believe it.
“… … How do you know that?”
“I saw it through the dragon’s dream.”
“Why are you like a dragon’s dream… … .”
Master was about to say something, but shut his mouth.
“… … No, it wasn’t that important right now.”
I squeezed the rising question into my heart again, and went back to the main topic.
“okay. You are right. The god who led dragons to destruction. That god is what it looked like when I and the veil were one.”
“… … That’s right too.”
Mysterious puzzles that had been scattered all over the place now feel like they are slowly coming together.
“I don’t know why they split up. Those memories are mine too. Probably, Bale doesn’t have it either.”
How did a being with enough power to easily destroy dragons split up?
It seemed that Master didn’t even know about him.
“I noticed. Me and the Veil were split in two and divided.”
It was split in two, leaving only the memory of being a god before.
However, I don’t know why it split.
It was like that.
“I have ‘line’ and ‘order’. The veil carries ‘evil’ and ‘chaos’. That’s how we became two.”
line and order.
evil and chaos.
These are words that fit well with Master and Bale Stoll.
“That’s when I realized that I was me. At the same time, I realized that the veil was trying to destroy this world.”
Just as Master realized that he was himself.
Bale Stoll must have realized that he was himself.
Bale Stoll, who realized his identity as evil and chaos, would immediately move to destroy this world.
“That’s why I wanted to build up my strength. Faster than the veil builds strength. As the personification of goodness and order, to protect this world from the Veil. I tried to make my own weapon.”
“My own weapon… … .”
It was immediately clear what the weapon was.
“Perhaps because I was split in two, at that time I had almost no power as a god. The way I could build up my strength at that time was to copy and evolve the power of the most powerful race in Middle-earth.”
It seems that my prediction was right.
“Dragon. I imitated the powers they used, and imbued my body with the remaining divine energy to create my own weapon. That’s it… … .”
“By-tenor type… … That’s it.”
Master nodded.
“Then, the 85% similar structure the dragon said and the 15% sin… … .”
“Based on the dragon’s magic, the nature of ‘goodness’ and ‘order’ that I have was inserted into it, so it’s a bitenor style.”
“Goodness and order are the ‘sin’ the dragon said.”
“It is true.”
“… … It was like that.”
understood.
‘I don’t know why goodness and order are evil… … .’
I understood 100% of what the dragon said.
“Then, the black magic created by Bale Stoll… … .”
And at the same time, I could understand one more.
“okay. He had the same thoughts as me, and made his own weapon by inserting ‘evil’ and ‘chaos’ into the framework of dragon magic.”
“also. That is black magic.”
bale stall.
what he said
Why did he mistakenly think that he had absorbed the Bytenoric black magic?
That question has now been resolved.
‘Line and order. evil and chaos. It is a power that was originally one. Bytenorism and black magic are magic that originate from the same root. They can absorb each other.’
He was just saying the obvious.
Black magic and Bytenorism.
Since it is a power derived from one in the first place, it is not that difficult for one side to absorb the other.
“After that, as you know. me and bale The two built their own castle to defeat each other. We fought to achieve each other’s ends.”
In an instant, a research journal came to mind.
A research journal analyzing the legend of Ray Bell Bytenor.
In the research journal, the following phrase was written.
[The magic system created by Ray Bell Bytenor was too sophisticated and perfect to be considered the first.]
The answer to that question is now out.
Bytenorism was not an entirely new system of magic that started at zero.
An evolutionary copy that evolved by copying the dragon’s magic.
Since it was just an evolution of the already completed magic system, it had no choice but to be elaborate.
‘It’s the same with black magic.’
The puzzles are being solved one by one.
It was as if the foreground, blurry due to the fog, was slowly becoming clearer in real time.
“this. Bytenorism and black magic. And, the truth between me and the veil.”
“… … understand.”
It feels good in many ways.
My head is clear.
‘I can understand why the Bytenor type was able to forge Shinhwa as magic.’
It is because the bi-tenor style is mixed with divine power.
He was able to handle the power of the Age of Mythology.
The fact that the Dark Mage King was able to deal with mythology was also understandable for the same reason.
“Then, the next question.”
The biggest question has been solved.
However, not all questions have been answered yet.
I immediately posed the next question.
“More than Bale Stall expected… … .”
revived quickly.
What do you think is the reason?
Also, Veil Stoll is regaining power by consuming the dragon’s soul.
What does this act mean, and how should we respond?
… … I was going to ask
However.
“… … Unfortunately. It’s about time.”
My questions were not even given a chance to come out of my mouth.
“I thought I would explain it as concisely as possible. Ten minutes seems too short.”
After 10 minutes, Master’s body began to disappear.
“The next question is. Let’s put it off until next time.”
It was a scene I had seen in the past in the Book of Idred and the Book of Mimir.
A landscape that seems to return to a completely blank slate as the paint has lost its color.
Soon, Master disappears.
It perishes without a trace along with this place.
“The present me will disappear here, but another me awaits at the door of the next ordeal.”
At the center of the disappearing world, Master smiled.
“Your remaining questions will be resolved in the near future.”
It was a smile tinged with sadness.
“Lastly, it would be nice to see Mimir’s face at least once.”
Regret peeks through the loneliness.
“I was only concerned with knocking down the veil. My daughter who couldn’t even take care of it properly. Mimir. how well the child has grown up. That she goes without seeing him, very much. I’m very sorry.”
Master looked straight into my eyes.
“Heir. I want to ask you one favor.”
“Tell me.”
“To Mimir. Please give me a message.”
Now, Master’s face is hard to see.
Just as a painting drawn on a drawing paper that has been submerged in water loses color and gradually becomes blurred.
Master’s image became very blurry.
“This is the last present your poor father gives you.”
I can’t even see the features right now.
“Look through the bookshelves on display in the next section, B-3. There will be the answer you are looking for. and… … .”
but.
He seemed to be laughing for some reason.
“Please be as happy as you are in this era.”
I couldn’t see his expression, but somehow I felt that way.
