65. Fedur Mountains (15)

-Our train arrives at the final stop, Grasco Academy. Please be prepared so that nothing is left behind.

I was able to read Heinz’s first draft at the same time as I heard the guide sound.

I captured the manuscript well, put it in my briefcase, and prepared to get off.

This briefcase is all I have for my luggage, so there’s no need to stop by my original place.

It seemed that all the students had escaped, so I, too, packed my bags and got off the train.

Now, they will disperse without a separate guide here.

Thinking of the overdue work, I try to move forward-

“School, Professor.”

A confused flight attendant caught my footsteps.

I stopped walking and turned to the person who called me.

It was the flight attendant who gave me a seat.

“what happened.”

“The professor in the cell over there didn’t move… … .”

It seems that no matter which professor he is, he is doing the truth.

Who the hell is going to paint Grasco’s name?

I followed him back into the train again.

… … Anyway, the place is familiar.

I vaguely thought of a professor who drank a lot of wine and stretched out in a special room, but the reality was completely different from that.

“… … Professor Millia.”

“Professor Lucas!”

Milia called my name in the brightest tone.

My name has never been so offended.

“People are in trouble. Come on out.”

“yes!”

… … what.

I thought about a more stubborn reaction because she insisted not to leave, but she got up and stuck behind me.

‘no way.’

Only then did I remember the notification that came to mind when I was away.

[A new notification has arrived.]

No, not this.

[You have canceled the ‘Wait’ status.]

yes, this

Come to think of it, the same notification popped up when I left the Senate.

So-

When I told you to wait, it meant that other people were waiting for something. In other words, the truth about Milia was that I was the cause.

Whether or not she knows the stinging headache, Milia is standing there with a face that looks like she wants a compliment.

“I knew it.”

It was meant to be sarcastic, but-

[You praised ‘Milia’ as a reward for doing ‘Wait’ well.]

[Bondness rises.]

What kind of world does this damn system see as a flower garden?

* * *

Roughly digging the seat, I headed straight to Heinz’s office.

Although he was still dangling with potion needles all over his body, he could clearly see that his complexion had improved.

“Welcome, Professor Lucas. So, was it worthwhile to go to the Fedur Mountains?”

“It seems so.”

“I’m so glad that. Come on, sit down. I’ll give you the car right away.”

“it’s okay.”

“No, it is said that you need to move like this to recover faster.”

My conscience is pricked like I’m pampering the old man by the patient, but what can I do to be stubborn like that?

And the tea that Heinz gave me was excellent in flavor and taste, so I did not refuse the second time.

Not long after, a cup of hot steam was placed in front of me.

That scent is truly terrifying.

“Eat comfortably.”

Heinz smiled kindly and suggested tea.

Meanwhile, I took Heinz’s manuscript out of my bag and put it on the table.

“Have you read it?”

“Yes.”

“Yeah, how did Professor Lucas see it, it was worth reading.”

“It was great.”

not empty words

Heinz’s original style was easy to read and the sentences were absorbing.

“Only one thing. When he gave me this manuscript, he said that he had finished his work.”

“It did.”

“But to me, this manuscript felt like half of it.”

This manuscript is definitely a great manuscript.

If it is announced as it is, it is self-evident that it will become a standard seller in the historical academia.

But, to me, it ‘sees’.

This manuscript is an unfinished manuscript with holes in it.

No, it was completed, but it is correct to say that Heinz cut it out arbitrarily.

“I’d like to see the ‘original’, President.”

However, the cut out is the key.

I can’t shake the confidence that the knowledge I want to know is contained there.

“… … Professor Lucas. You must have a knack for surprising people.”

His admiration was clear evidence that the ‘original’ existed separately.

“Unfortunately, the manuscript you saw is the original.”

“At first… … You didn’t make it.”

“That’s right.”

The original exists but does not exist.

In other words, ‘completed knowledge’ exists, but it was not created as a means to disclose it to the public.

“People want to know everything. But not all knowledge is available.”

As he said that, his expression looked somewhat bitter and lonely.

“Knowledge that cannot be afforded destroys the ego, loses the senses, and leads to destruction. Yuren, just like him.”

I simply nodded my head to show sympathy.

“But, Professor Lucas- I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to handle it.”

Heinz smiled kindly.

The smile was peaceful, and it even seemed to be somewhat relaxed.

“It’s been a long time since I’ve had a lecture, so I might make a mistake. Please understand.”

The continent’s best scholar, Heinz’s lecture began.

* * *

In the beginning, a great being created this middle world.

And he created a being to look for in Middle-earth for himself – it was a dragon.

The dragon used the power of the gods through the runes, the language of the gods, to care for Middle-earth.

After creating the dragon, he created another race. After creating an overly beautiful race, he gave it the power of mana and named it an elf. In addition, he made spirits by materializing his powers, and made them take charge of the nature of Middle-earth.

Numerous races arose after that, and they all shared one of the Creator’s powers.

Finally, he gathered the remaining things to create a form, and named it human.

Man, the last creation, had no power to impart.

So instead, he gifted the reproductive instinct, which enabled humans to prosper most prosperously in Middle-earth.

The greatest number of individuals were born, and it was transformed into the one that pleased the great beings the most.

However, the human instinct was a mixture of many emotions.

Positive and negative emotions were mixed, and chaos was born.

Chaos spread rapidly among humans.

It taught humans about greed and lies.

And humans get what they want by deceiving the great beings with lies.

Little by little, he put the ‘talent of all beings’ into his body.

As time passed, humans were divided into three groups.

Those who use runes to claim to be God’s agents, ‘Representative’ and combine all other powers to oppress other races with force, ‘Dissent’ and those who just watch, ‘Bystanders’

Each of the three groups began to have different dreams.

The class who claimed to be God’s agent went beyond God’s agent and claimed to be ‘God’ itself, which eventually resulted in division.

Some of the ‘agents’ were also divided and tried to become the ‘gods’ of Middle-earth along with the ‘dissenters’, and caused a war.

Beyond simple human warfare, the war for the hegemony of Middle-earth has begun.

At this time, the things that are called traces of super ancient civilizations were created by the use of runes by humans.

With its ignorant destructive power, Middle-earth was further devastated and sucked into a deeper fire of war.

Many races died and disappeared.

The rebels’ camp persuaded other races to summon their forces.

There seemed to be no other way.

At that moment, the great being began to step out directly through the ‘bystander’.

They were the ones who rejected the runes, the mana, and the talents of other creatures.

Instead, they gained the power to gain an overwhelming edge over those who pushed only one thing – Middle-earth into the blaze of war.

Their participation in the war struck a balance, and the war culminated in a devastating blow to both sides.

* * *

“As you can see from the results, the war ended with the defeat of the ‘dissenters’. That’s how the ‘dissent’ were driven out of the barren environment. This is the ‘forgotten history’.”

This ‘forgotten history’ was not created by me.

I was just ‘there were super-ancient civilizations.’ just mentioned. Also for a quick finish.

– Probability began to intervene.

‘what?’

In an instant, someone’s voice was heard in my head.

unfamiliar but familiar.

It was a voice that must be remembered.

It was the same voice shouting for the key that had been circling in my head the whole time.

He shook his head and brushed away his thoughts.

Heinz’s lecture continued.

“Come on, let me ask you a question here. Do you know who the ‘agents’ are?”

Something immediately came to mind at his question.

“Bert… … .”

Holy Empire Bert.

Literally, it was Berth, a group of fanatics.

“That’s right. So, who is the ‘dissatisfied person’?”

For a moment, there were things that fit together like a puzzle in my head.

“Demon.”

“Yeah, that’s right. This is the reason why this manuscript cannot be completed and published. Because this kind of knowledge is too heavy for people to accept. The fact that demons and humans, in fact, have the same roots… … It is a cruel truth.”

“… … There is one unanswered question.”

“What?”

“You said that the power to fight the demons was given to the ‘bystanders’. So, why didn’t that great being give the Holy Empire the strength to deal with the ‘unfortunate ones’?”

“Although it is said that the war was started by ‘dissenters’, it is because the ‘agents’ brought up the war. The very ancient civilization itself that drove this Middle-earth close to destruction was a collaboration between ‘Agent’ and ‘Dissenter’.”

Yes.

From the perspective of a great being, they both betrayed their love.

So, paradoxically, he entrusted the heavy duty to the ‘bystander’ who rejected his love.

“And the Great One punished both the ‘Agent’ and the ‘Dissent.’ By giving the ‘representative’ the proof of his existence – divine power, he made them remember that he exists, and he took away his love by erasing the fact that he was a human being to the ‘victim’. And he took his language from all of them and sealed them forever. Runes still exist today, but they are absurd to compare with those of those days. The true runes are truly ‘God’s Power’.”

Heinz drank the remaining tea from the cup and continued.

“Okay, I have one more question left here. So, who are the ‘bystanders’? Unlike the vicar and the rebel, the bystander has finished his mission and has returned to being a bystander wholly worthy of his name. The tribe’s name is… … .”

I guess enough.

Because the series of descriptions Heinz described fit exactly with certain beings in my head.

“… … Satisfied.”

Heinz’s expression hardened.

It’s like hearing a name that shouldn’t be heard.

“How do you name it… … .”

I am the descendant of that man.

But it wasn’t explicitly stated.
