Chapter 362 - Episode Nine - The Calm before the Storm (3)
Kudor continued to speak, looking for my reaction.
“There are two possible reasons why the Sky God created Moebius, the founder of the Doom race. The first was to create a race that could thrive under the extre nature of the High Elves, and the second was to create a powerful special individual to serve as his direct pawn. Since I killed the Sky God early, the details remain unknown.”
A high-ranking demon with an enormous scale will have an extrely low ratio of magic recovery to its overall magic capacity.
This is why the amount of magic power stored is more important than anything else.
Even in the mythological era, there are traces that the four great creator gods used to make up for this shortcoming by selecting superior human beings who had a higher capacity to recover magic power than demons, teaching them magic and giving them blessings, and using them as their own knives.
This was the case with the four great priests of the water god Levi and the Five Grand Masters of the fire god Maharbo.
In fact, Kudur has added to his ranks as a weapon that he can easily use in tis of need.
The sky god must have wanted Moebius to be his ssenger as well.
“…… After the death of the Sky God, of course, the High Elves would not accept the existence of another race that made up for their weaknesses. They made up reasons to treat Moebius as a sinner, and dropped her from the sky country to Earth. Later, Moebius had a relationship with Norcs and had many children. However, the descendants of Moebius wore blue magic crystals, unlike the red magic crystals of Moebius himself.”
The founder Moebius …… is the great ancestor of a, who was created as an apostle of the sky god.
A red magic crystal, different from normal Doom tribesn.
a told that the magic crystal on her forehead fell off in an accident before she could rember.
“The girl has the sa kind of magic power as the sky god, or even the founder Moebius, although her magic power is unusually low. I can’t believe that such a person was born by chance at this ti. Perhaps soone is trying to take advantage of the Doom Tribe, the legacy of the Sky God. I don’t know what use the girl will be, but she is definitely a disturbing presence.”
…… Indeed, when you combine it with the fact that Kudor felt the magic of Moebius, it’s strangely disturbing.
The situation is bizarre and suspicious. Maybe a had the sa red magic crystal that Moebius had.
It was a long ti ago that I heard that a had been teased for being stoneless in the Doom tribe.
Soone may have disguised it as an accident by removing a’s stone.
Considering that the person who knew more about the founder Moebius and tried to use a …… it is easy to imagine that it was Count Julem.
I opened my mouth, hesitated to speak, and put my hand on my head.
Reconsidered a little. But I couldn’t help but ask.
I stared at Kudor and opened my mouth.
“…… Are you saying that the a is Count Julem’s trump card against you?”
“I’m just looking at it as a possibility. I weighed the benefits of you against the risks of keeping the girl alive and decided to take the latter. However, you had better be more careful with the girl. If she is kidnapped, she may be used as a sacrifice.”
I stared at Kudor and observed his face.
…… Perhaps killing a is still one of Kudor’s options.
“That’s impossible, It’ll fail too much. If a was important to Count Julem …… he would never have allowed her to travel from the settlent without an escort, let her run free, and then dangle her in front of the enemy general like now.”
“You are definitely one of the top magicians in the world, and you were with . That’s why I failed to kill you that ti.”
“…… That’s just a coincidence. You’re thinking too much.”
“Are you sure about that? It’s also possible that there were other occasions when a demon, sensing the presence of the sky god, targeted the girl and you protected her. If that’s the case, then you’ve been doing a good job as a guard so far.”
I’m stumped.
I don’t know. Now that I think about it …… I can’t help but feel like there was…
Kudor looked in the eye.
“Why did you et that girl? Was there anyone else suspicious at the ti? No.”
I looked away from Kudor.
I don’t think …… Jas is a very suspicious person.
I’m sure that when he was being chased by Garm, a mutant of the dog monster, he was frantically moving his carriage to escape,……
“Why, at a ti like this ……?”
I thought of Jas’ words as he drove the carriage.
…… Why was that man lanting the bad timing instead of the bad luck of encountering Garm?
Garm is a D-class magic beast, and ordinary people cannot deal with it.
It is one of the most belligerent magic beasts, so it was almost impossible for him to escape.
And yet, the way he said it, it sounded as if he would have been able to deal with it as he pleased if we hadn’t been there.
No, no, I’m thinking too much.
I’m being strangely skeptical because of what Kudor said.
I can’t be sure that Jas really said that.
And even if he did, he might have just regretted the fact that he had to get and a involved before he lost his own life.
It could have been anything.
“Did he ever take the ti to check on you, as if he was inquiring about your condition?”
“There was no one suspicious. And I don’t rember being watched like that …… Please don’t be too involved with other people’s friendships. To be honest, I don’t feel very good about it.”
“…………”
Kudor narrowed his eyes.
Did I say it a little wrong?
But I can’t be at peace when soone digs into my past like they know it all, and assus that it was all led by so unknown man.
I’ve chosen my words carefully.
“…… But I will definitely protect a. So please don’t worry about this matter.”
“Be careful. I am far more intelligent than most people. I am much smarter than most people, because Yohanan made that way. But apparently, Julem is quite cunning, and to the sa extent, cautious, and even more evil than they are. He may already have your weakness in his grasp. Whatever happens, don’t be misled.”
…… I still think you’re overthinking this, that’s all I can say.
If Kudor is right, then Count Julem has been watching and conveniently manipulating from the beginning of my journey until now.
In addition, he spoke as if Count Julem already knew what I was going to do.
As expected, that is not only unbelievable, but also unacceptable.
“That’s all I have to say. It is true that I may be overthinking things. He’s more dangerous than I thought. I have to be suspicious of him anyway.”
Kudor said and stood up from the Ortem.
He kicked as I placed my clenched fists on my knees, then turned his back to and started walking.
He stopped after a few steps and called out to again.
“…… No matter what happens, do not antagonize and do not side with Julem. If that should happen, I will do everything in my power to kill you without any compromise. You are truly dangerous.”
He sounded a little sad.
It was as if he saw this as one of the possible futures.
Kudor may be able to see farther into the future than I can.
