Chapter 47. I’m pretty good at setting traps (5)
It didn’t matter.
The reason Calian went out of the elf city and broke the intact rock was probably to check how strong the sword was to withstand the aurors. I also fully understood that he would have found out as a bonus that his aura color had changed.
But it didn’t matter.
It didn’t matter how good the sword was in my hand right now. It didn’t matter.
“Sinastar…”
A sword of light that is neither completely silver nor completely blue.
– Don’t leave it anywhere. this ti.
It was not the familiar muted color.
Nevertheless, I could tell.
A world where flas rise from the tips of the wizard’s fingers and swords sharpen from the fingertips of the knight.
Turn back ti, erase the existence of soone who was alive and breathing well, and transfer their soul to another place. It’s a world that prevents that na from being passed down.
It might be possible.
The appearance of a shooting star before it falls.
This is what it looked like before it was completely charred on the outside and inside.
“It must really be my sword.”
A real piece of star.
I looked into it, but what does it have to do with it?
“As expected, my brother.”
Calian expressed his affirmation in short words and added his answer with a small smile.
“Yes. This is the sword that my brother carried.”
Planz looked at Calian for a long ti.
Calian just kept smiling without saying anything.
“…… you.”
Calian had never called the old Planz like that before. In any case, I tried to see him as soone different from the current Plantz and called him that.
But not now.
Smart Plantz figured that out too.
Even if they caused a fuss on the beach, it was ultimately Kalian and Plantz’s business now. Even if I ca to regard Plantz as my real brother because of that, it has nothing to do with Plantz in the past. However, Kalian sang the past Planz the sa way as he does now. He brought a sword of starlight with a na engraved on it, similar to the na Planz at that ti.
Plantz also understood the reason.
“You held up well.”
I would have seen it.
Seeing the nightmare of that day right before your eyes, facing the plan of that day, and deciding how to deal with that day’s plan. One more thing, he took the sword that Planz would have been carrying at the ti and personally took it with his own hands and returned it to him like this.
That’s why I’m smiling like that again.
If you saw Planz that day, you would have also seen Wangje that day.
“Yes. He said hello to .”
To Bern.
To old Calian.
A long sigh escaped from Plantz’s mouth as he looked at Calian, who was shivering.
“So, if soday in the future, my brother…”
“I understand.”
“yes.”
From the beginning, Plantz did not see himself as any different from that day he could not rember.
It was Kalian who took the trouble to distinguish between the two.
Because I couldn’t bla the current Plants for that. Because you shouldn’t complain.
But now Kalian told Plantz that he has changed his mind a little. Even if one day, Plantz finds the mories of that ti, I won’t look at it any differently than I do now, so if that day cos, please tell without hiding anything.
Plantz, who understood that he was going to reveal what he had experienced inside to say such a thing, cut off Calian’s words. Isn’t this a story that doesn’t need to be said or heard?
“It would have been fine if you had just burned it down like you wanted to, but you held back really well, my brother.”
“Even though I listened to Lord Tesman explain it, I didn’t know how to light the crystal, so I didn’t do anything. My main servant is the wind.”
“The blue-haired wizard’s main servant is ice.”
A small laugh ca out of Calian’s mouth.
Calian nodded and opened his mouth in a quiet voice.
“It was a thod I didn’t like, so even though I couldn’t understand it, I knew why it was done that way. I was glad and glad to see it that way. So I just quietly left.”
There are many teas that have a good scent and taste, but there are also cases where you are given dicine that has no scent and is only useful.
Kalian did that to Plantz.
Just as Plantz did to Calian.
“…… okay.”
I thought of a Sispanian who offered comfort to a person who was afraid of being forgotten while praying for his death.
Plantz, unable to decide whether to criticize or praise the mother tree for teaching him how to say goodbye to the last remaining core, simply nodded.
“I won’t leave it behind. This ti.”
Instead, he made a promise.
“yes.”
Calian laughed again.
I knew full well that this place, with birds chirping, the wind blowing, and clouds floating in the sky, was better than the familiar path in my heart where there was no one under my feet and a red star was floating above my head.
* * *
First ti.
A life opened its eyes.
The pure life that blood alone helped the first green light take root in this land.
A tree that shared life grew, sprouted branches, and sprouted leaves. It has beco the source of all life.
The tree beca larger, stronger, and possessed a will of its own. I learned about what was happening on this land.
– I saw you.
I left everything to the passage of ti and watched.
– And I just observed.
I rembered ti turning back.
I saw a lot and didn’t forget anything.
I didn’t even go against it. I watched as it flowed.
– But you…….
* * *
“So.”
It was a long ti later that Plantz opened his mouth.
“Why did you call ?”
The writing engraved on the sword resting on one’s lap. Plantz, whose hand was still placed on the black letters that must have been decided by the person who did not even give a na to his words, asked:
“I didn’t say anything about why Mother Tree called , nor did we have any special conversations.”
“So, no special conversation. What is it?”
“It’s really an insignificant conversation.”
The corners of Planz’s mouth rose as he looked at Calian, who was trying to hide sothing again.
“… No matter how busy the Crown Prince of Secretia is, he can probably teach at least one word in the old language.”
Oh really.
He’s like a big brother who is as green as ever like a basil sprout.
Calian had a very complicated look on his face as he looked at Plantz, who had fixed his weakened heart and was now threatening to ask Chase to tell him the aning of his na instead of his heart.
“I’m not telling you that because I care about you.”
“Anything.”
“And why do you only get longer when you say things like that?”
“Because I need it.”
“Why are you usually so short?”
“Because I understand. You.”
I put it in wrong.
I picked up the habit completely wrong.
“So. What is it?”
My brother, I raised him like that, so I can’t bla anyone, and the only person who would listen to my complaints like this is my love-hate brother sitting over there, so I can’t say anything else, and I just keep rotting inside, but in the end, it’s because of , so what should I do about this?
“Should I call it a favor or advice? I heard sothing like that.”
I have to tell you, what should I do?
“What?”
Calian, who did not answer right away, opened his mouth again, recalling the words of Mother Tree that he heard the mont he took the sword he had given to Plantz.
– But you. this ti. No matter what you find out.
“No matter what you learn… you don’t have to conform.”
It ans you don’t have to conform.
Plantz spoke in a calm voice to Calian, who was trying to hide it again out of concern that Mother Tree would have to say such a thing.
“I’m not worried.”
“…Why aren’t you doing it?”
“They say you may not comply. Isn’t that okay?”
Calian laughed at Plantz’s answer, saying he was now really good at not listening.
“I see.”
“Anything else.”
“There wasn’t much else to say, other than opening the forest path on Bridget’s side in a tily manner.”
“okay.”
After finishing his story, Calian nodded.
Then he pointed at Planz’s sword and said sothing else.
“Dmirea is keeping Evan’s sword. I think it would be a good idea to change the sword your brother uses a little like that sword. What do you think?”
The question was whether it would be possible to change the shape of Planz’s two swords so that they could be used as one sword in normal tis, but could be used as two vertically divided swords when necessary.
It may not be easy to carve an already completed sword, but since I already know soone who can do it, it wasn’t a big problem.
“There is no need to hide the use of two swords, but in any case, Brisen’s swordsmanship is tailored to that type of sword. It would be better to carry it around on a daily basis.”
At those words, Planz looked down at his sword for a mont.
“I want to leave it behind.”
Although we don’t know exactly what Planz was thinking in the past, we can guess the na of the sword. Isn’t that written on the sword body?
Because if you sharpen the sword, half of the letters disappear.
For that reason, I wasn’t very reluctant.
“You write well. I’ll re-engrave the erased part.”
Calian smiled and said:
I will transfer the part that needs to be erased from the bluish-silver sword to the ink-colored sword and write it down.
After hearing those words, Plantz, who was quietly looking at the writing, quickly nodded.
“okay.”
Half of this na will belong to Calian anyway.
* * *
The wind blew.
It was filled with the scent of blades of grass, and there was the sound of two horses stepping on the ground.
The wind has changed.
I could sll the salt of the sea, and the sound of two horses stepping on the ground was still there.
Returned to the city of elves.
“You should give it a na.”
Calian took a look at the giant mother tree visible again in the distance and opened his mouth like this. He then spoke while pointing to the bluish-silver sword he had decided to keep instead of Planz for the ti being.
“Your sword has a na, your cat has a na, and your horse has a na, but only your horse has no na.”
Plantz closed his eyes slightly.
I want to say sothing, but I am holding back.
If anything, Hina’s words have the aning that Hina desires the most out of all the nas she can call. I was wondering why the guy who gave that amazing horse a na that ans black or big crow would say sothing like that.
Raven purred.
I don’t know if he liked the na or not, but he seed to be roughly responding to Calian’s words.
“I probably wouldn’t have built it anyway. Even then.”
“Do you think so?”
“I don’t think I would have lived with such aning in mind.”
I thought I would have definitely ridden that Raven if it were in the past due to my personality. However, I thought they didn’t give him a na until the end. Because he knew best himself that he was not the kind of person who would have lived with such things.
“But it’s different now than it was then. Since we’re going to travel far away together, shouldn’t we have a na?”
“…Sowhere far away.”
In the past, I would have thought that he was going to take to the tower, but not anymore. So this ti, I just looked at Calian as if he had so plan in mind.
But instead of answering, Calian said sothing unexpected again.
“Brother, have you ever seen put an Auror on a real sword? Other than the sword I make.”
“doesn’t exist.”
“Then, brother, have you ever seen destroy a rock with my Aura?”
“doesn’t exist.”
Calian made a dagger with smiling eyes. Then he threw it at a rock the size of a wagon wheel that was visible a little distance away from the road.
“I hate making noise.”
– Crispy.
A sound quieter than a raven purring.
It made a sound similar to the crunching of dry sand.
Instead, the rock broke into pieces and scattered on the floor, just like the one seen in the valley a mont ago. There was no loud noise like before.
“I noticed that my aura color had changed a long ti ago when I looked around for a new sword, but I couldn’t tell how strong the sword I received from Mother Tree was. But I couldn’t swing the sword as I wanted inside the elven city, so I went out to cut down so trees. “When I went out, there was soone waiting for .”
“Is it Secretia’s bird?”
“Yes. But whether that bird really caught or did it on purpose? I’m not sure yet. Anyway, I imdiately hid it so I pretended not to notice. But as I was thinking about it as I went, there was sothing I wanted to show the bird.”
It was only after hearing these words that it ca to mind again.
That my brother is a terrible guy who doesn’t get one thing at a ti.
Instead of waiting for Planz, who was obviously going to co out to look for Calian, or coming back to pick him up, I just called him to where Calian was. I also tried to attract the attention of a bird that was waiting outside the elven city for Kalyan to co out.
This ans breaking a rock in a grand manner.
“I was trying to show you sothing.”
“A way to fool Devlan.”
Calian turned his head towards the mother tree, which was getting closer little by little, and opened his mouth.
Plantz nodded slightly as if to continue talking.
“It suddenly occurred to that the color of my aura that changed this ti seems to resemble Zeon’s. Although the color of the power used there is more dull, I think it might look sowhat similar on a bright day like this. If that’s the case, then I’m thinking of Devlan as being related to Zeon. “I wondered if I could fake it.”
What Calian brought out in front of Planz in the valley.
A transparent red aura that could be considered very similar to the one they used.
“Why bother?”
“I want to divert Devlan’s attention for a mont. Toward Xeon.”
Plantz did not answer, and Calian continued.
“As long as Devlan knows that I ca here, he will never co here. He called and Hina under the pretext of an agreent with the elves because there was a letter from His Highness, so he could not co to this place where it was obvious that it was not safe. No. In the anti, Brother Chase will try to announce Devlan’s illness in front of the nobles. For now, Brother Chase’s position will be safe if he does so.”
“I guess so.”
Although he noticed that the title to Chase had changed, Plantz didn’t say anything.
“But the Devlan I know can’t handle it to that level. If he’s cornered like that, he’ll definitely do the sa thing he did to .”
Because these words ca out right away, it would be more correct to say that there was no reaction, rather than that there was no reaction.
“Are you saying they will try to exploit our weak points?”
Weakness.
Bern had never once said why he had lived such a life, but Plantz already knew. Calian smiled quietly and nodded.
“Yes. If I were there, I would have definitely thought that way. I am also a snake cub. And I think Devlan would think the sa way.”
They think the sa thing, but Kalyan doesn’t put it into practice.
And Devlan runs.
“Whether it’s Arianne or Concubine Louise… my mother. She’s the type of person who will use anything to keep Brother Chase in prison.”
Therefore, it was said that they were trying to divert Devlan’s attention for a while.
Devlan knows that Calian is here anyway. This is an obvious fact since we found out that even the bird was following along. In such a situation, Devlan would have realized that inviting the elves to offer treatnt was a very dangerous invitation.
“So, I’m going to divert attention for a mont. I seem to be on good terms with the elves, but if it appears that I have even gained the power that Zeon uses, they will already be suspicious of enough and will want to find out about Zeon as well. Devlan and Zeon are holding hands. “It doesn’t matter if you catch it or not.”
“You won’t be able to hide it for long.”
“Yes. That said, there will be a period of ti to gather information, so I think it will be hidden for a month or two. That will be enough. In the anti, I just have to do one thing that Devlan will never think of.”
“What happened.”
Calian paused for a mont and patted Raven’s saddle. Calian, who had organized his thoughts like a habit, ca out of his mouth sothing that Plantz had not thought of.
“At first, my brother said he would go to Secretia, but I stopped him.”
Plantz nodded.
Kalian’s lips drew a long line.
“I don’t know if you know, but… I’m actually quite good at setting traps.”
Could it be that I don’t know that?
While Plantz was thinking this, the following words kept coming to his ears.
“But you can’t catch a snake with the trap I set.”
As I said, Kalian was the offspring of a snake.
“Instead, Devlan can’t think of anything that I haven’t thought of.”
“…… so.”
“Brother, do you really want to try grilled cod?”
Planz didn’t answer for a mont.
This ti, when I return to the palace, I don’t know how to ‘persuade’ Lemain, who will never let go out. This ti, I need to pack so other clothes, but I’m worried about what kind of clothes I should pack and how much, and whether I should leave Lucy and Anne behind again. It was.
And one more thing.
About what to na a white horse that will go a long way with you.
