54 Lesson 53: The Truth
Still, we have to be sure. Otherwise, we cannot move forward or leave. Pandora's box is already open. Then I just have to peek into the bottom.
"... to say that the Spirit Contractor is the same as the Great Spirit, isn't the Spirit Contractor human?
"Right? Shall I be more precise? Spirit contractors are" spirits with human vessels. "You are also right to come together and call a" willing spirit "with an entity the Great Spirit. But if you trace its origins, you'll say," Originally the result of the Spirit Contractor. "
"... no exceptions?
"At least I've never seen you."
"So, what about God? Are you saying that God is human too?
"Come on? I don't know that either. But sometimes the Great Spirit, who became the Spirit Contractor, becomes like God. Paradoxically, I can't tell you that the activity of the Great Spirit was communicated to future generations, and it's not possible that he became known as God. I wonder if that's what a great spirits older than me would know? If you're still in the world, though."
A rhumi with a distorted smile that caught the edge of his mouth tells him to mock it.
"The Spirit covenant makes you lose everything because the price of the Spirit covenant... is your own soul?
"Correct"
I accidentally bit my teeth enough to get a toothpick.
This is why the spiritual covenant did not remain a record until future generations? Yeah, maybe I am. I don't even think the price is close to such an evil law of my soul.
"That's just not an accurate interpretation. In the old days, anyway, there's a different interpretation of losing everything in this day and age. 'Cause the spiritual contractor makes a pact, and the spirits are" themselves. "
"... what do you mean?
"I told you, didn't I? You are a" rare man. "A rare child with no spirit in his soul. But people in this world are big and small, and they have spirits in their souls. And the Spirit greatly influences the formation of self. I mean, like half a body."
"... a spiritual covenant means a covenant with its inner spirits?
"I will offer you my soul as a human being for what it cost you, but the spirits that I give you will not change who you are again."
"... if that's all you ask, I feel like it's just a good thing, but isn't it?
I ask as I look at the Rhumi. Lyumi then leans her little neck with a full ripped grin.
"Isn't that obvious? But the degree of difference varies from person to person. If you are a soul close to the Spirit, you will have less influence. Like the lady there, for example?
Uffi, with his gaze pointed at him, makes him jump on his shoulder to shrug. But it was also in an instant that I showed upset that I immediately asked Lhumi back.
"... Am I close to the Spirit?
"Right. It's my view, isn't it" critical "? You're so weak as a person."
Yufi is breathtaking at Lumi's point. Step straight on the dance and step back. I pull such a Uffi hand, try to shelter it on my back and attract it.
I noticed that Yufi's hand was shaking a little and gripped him hard.
"... Yufi is a human being."
"Yeah, I'm myself like thin ice. Sounds more like a miracle.... Oh, maybe it's ancestral."
"Ancestry?"
"Does the Duke of Magenta draw royal blood, too? Then it is impeccable as the flesh that becomes the vessel of the Spirit. Strange kids. I can't believe you have a royal child even though you don't have one, and a child even though you're not royal. What a chigu."
"... you're familiar with it."
"Right? Because this is still a living witness from the founding years."
"... what?
"This is a fact that Orphans doesn't even know." Distant descendants "?"
Descendants, I accidentally stared at the appearance of Rhumi when I was told. The color of that hair is platinum. The color is very similar to mine, and this color is said to be a testament to the royal family.
You noticed the change in my appearance, with a garlic grin, Lyumi tells her with her hands on her chest.
"My name is Lumiel René Palettia. The kingdom of Palletia, its first king, its daughter, and the" first queen "erased by history."
"... daughter of the first king...!?"
"And the first queen...!? There's no such thing as a queen in the Kingdom of Palettia!?"
With an incredible name, me and Uffi give a voice of surprise. And I just laughed at Llumi for not saying I was happy...... Llumiel goes on with the words.
"Ah. That's what I forbid to keep in history. It must have been weathered and forgotten."
"How could you do that?
"That would be a long story. I'll welcome you, stay with me. You can't just go home, can you?
Lumiel turns his back and goes to the back of the woods. Before we lose sight of it, me and Uffi go into the back of the woods like we're going after that back, too.
Keep heading to the Oz and you'll get to the wooden cabin. I have some pretty old signs, but it doesn't look like it's going to decay in wonder.
Llumiel goes in first and the lights light up inside the room when he rings his fingers. It looked like a lamp, but if you look closely, there's a spirit inside that was shown earlier, and if you look at it, you're laughed at as a jerk.
"... it's like a witch's house."
"Witch! There were times when they called me that. I miss you."
"... can Master Llumiel really be revealed as the son of the first king?
"I don't need a word of respect. I stopped being royal a long time ago. I'm just your distant grandmother."
There are no chairs or desks in the house. pointing straight over the rug, Llumiel lowers his hips to the floor. Me and Uffi also mimic Llumiel and lower their hips.
"Well, what can I tell you from?
"There are so many things I'd like to ask... is it true that you were the daughter of the first king and the first queen?
"There's nothing I can prove. I didn't erase the trace of me."
"... how could you do that?
Rhumiel shut his mouth once to Yufi's inquiry. If Lümiel waved his fingers, the Spirit carried the vessel with flutter. Hand it to us, and Llumiel waves his finger again.
Then water born in the air is poured into the vessel. Llumiel likewise takes the vessel and drinks it with water inside.
"As you can see, you've been doing the Great Spirit for a long time. This can be a hassle."
"... that's amazing"
"You think it's awesome? Yeah, that's why."
"So...?
"I am the daughter of the first king. Now, I live like that because I've turned into a great spirit. So, what about the first king?
"... the first king was also a spiritual contractor"
I also drink the water in the vessel and moisten my throat, which I was thirsty for. I can only imagine nasty in the back of my brain.
"Llumiel, you... you didn't take the throne, did you?
"Huh?"
Uffi's face as if he had been poked in the void in my inquiry, and Llumiel, in contrast, remains smiling.
Nothing Llumiel hasn't answered. I just laugh like I say that's the answer. Ask as Uffi has ceased.
"How could you rob me..."
"Think about it, Uffi. If Llumiel's story is true, the Spirit Contractor can go well beyond human life expectancy.... Then why does the first king have to replace him?
"!? Well that's...... but isn't it necessary to change generations......?
"What do you think? Wouldn't that be Llumiel telling us the answer?
"Right. It's probably a hit. I'm the one who killed the first king."
Llumiel laughs as she puts her hands on her chest and makes her look proud. I look at Llumiel like Uffi says he doesn't understand.
"... there was only abstract content in examining the history of nation-building. I was unhappy to leave you, but you didn't allow me to leave you?
"Right. I can say yes, and I can say no. I'm sure it wasn't me who did it first and my kids who did it afterwards."
"... did you kill your own father? That's the king too...?
Unbelievable, Yufi shakes her head.... be taught that the First King is a great being for the nobility of the Kingdom of Palettia. But I don't know who that person is or life is. It's just that great trajectory is told.
I can't believe the first king of honor was murdered by his real daughter. And it's really hard to believe that her daughter is the first queen to be erased from history and now she's right in front of us like this.
"Believe it or not, you're on your own."
"... assuming that's true, you killed the first king because you were" immortal, "unlimited?
"You've been very calm, haven't you?... Yes. First king, your father was perfect. He had the spirituality to cast himself aside for men, and obeyed the Spirit, and God prepared him as he did. He was an ideal king, just like the one he painted. But the king was only the king."
Llumiel changes his mocking look and tells him to stare away somewhere. That also resembles a gaze at someone who's no longer there, and there's no disdain there.
Rather, I was able to read warm emotions that could even be described as dear. It's really important and still makes me feel like I've let go of it.
If that's meant to be directed at the other person who killed him with his own hands... it must be a story told in the name of tragedy.
"Father gave up all his soul in a spiritual covenant. And obeyed the Spirit, and became a signpost for those who suffered in their plight, and were worshipped as kings. Just to save people, to protect the country. I admired myself and kept reaching out to those who believed. And that's what it's become."
... You can't call me human if you've gone that far already. It's a "king". I can only say how "king" works.
A "king" who abandoned men to save them. A selfless savior who reigned with immense power. Good if that's the existence of the story. But that selfless king of salvation has certainly become real in the person who made his name in history.
"My father made a proper inheritance, didn't he? Because it is the King who does so. But my father is not old, he does not fade, he does not change. He continued to reign as just the immutable, the supreme king he wanted.... eventually even the people will be so fanatical. Eventually, it changed as much as it wanted to rule the world."
"... so you killed the first king"
"Yep. It was then that Father was not" the king who saves the plight of the people ", but only" the king who fulfills the desires of the people ". The good king, whom he desired for his people, was turned into a tyrant by the desire of a people like no other.... What do you think if you put this in history? Should I call him the Demon King?"
hold his stomach, rhumiel says, laughing in a queasy manner. It also looked like a madman, but it only seemed to me that I could keep myself by behaving that way.
The covenant of the Spirit made him the good king that the people desired, and it turned him into the evil king by the desire of the people. Give me my soul as a man until I do it for my people. And at the end of the day it became the receptacle to the desires of the people, and it was the existence and the fruit to be discussed.
It was my daughter who took it. Oh, it's a tragedy that's not really rocky.
"In terms of results alone, I killed my father and took my country and became queen. And my father, me, and the Spirit disappeared by promising not to make matters in history about the covenant. I haven't been queen in less than a year. That's not even history."
"... and your child is our ancestor."
"You will. I'm glad you didn't let the kid have the spiritual contract. I lost the way, too. It will affect your soul, but eventually it will fade by staying in touch with people. You didn't have to make a deal with the Spirit. You still had the power to be a nation. And the kingdom of Palettia began to walk in the true sense"
"You had a partner when you had kids, didn't you? Is that person...?
To my inquiry Lümiel shook his head quietly beside him. Give me a pale smile, not a sarcastic look.
She seems very loving, but hung up. You look careless, but proud. With such a complex look to remember, she says.
"It was he who inherited the country as the" son "of the first king.... that's what I'm talking about. I don't know how my kids grew up either, by the way. It's the last thing I held when I was a baby."
"Oh no..."
Yufi is biting her lips with an unspeakable look. If this were true, we would have found out behind the glorious history of the founding of the Kingdom of Palettia. What a headache.
"You didn't even reveal it to your father, did you? Why did you reveal yourself to us?
"Because the child was about to reach a spiritual covenant. I wonder if I'd be interested in you later. So we're still gonna make it, right? What kind of spiritual covenant is a man so chopped up that he inadvertently returns to his ancestors in our descendants and is born near the spirits to stop people? That's the only thing."
"... Could there have been more" rare people "like me back in the day?
"No, rare people are rare people. A rare one who can live without being sheltered from this world. It doesn't stand out in the Kingdom of Palettia, but there were a lot of kids in other countries who took names as greats."
"... isn't it true that all civilians are rare?
"That's not why...?
Oh, no. Then why isn't there a spirit soul in me...!
Are you telling me it's caused by memories from a previous life?... I can't tell you how impossible that is!?
"Rare is rare, but you can't use magic because it's unfavourable from birth, or inferior...?
"I'm sure it's the" unbelievable. "But the" rare man "I've seen has accomplished what has been called the impossible. There's nothing magical about it."
"I wanted to use that magic!
"Though I use spiritual stones for magic, which is the business of spirits, I think it's so much more awesome to create them in the form of tools...? And flying in the sky what? Where did that idea come from? It's like a rare beast."
"Don't call me a rare beast!
What a rude ancestor!... I know exactly what Lumiel is all about. If this is true, it tastes so bad that I can't tell you who I am in a detour.
If such facts are to be brightened, the foundation of the faith of the Kingdom of Palletia can be shaken. I don't like people whose faith is biased, but that's why I don't think it would be good to be doomed.
"... spiritual covenant means covenant with your inner spirits to exchange your souls, right?
"Yes, I am."
"But it's also true that it's you, isn't it? What exactly are the after-effects?
"There are differences in degrees, but the human body is no longer anything more than a" vessel. "I guess I should just say I'm going to lose my sense of being human. If it's horrible, you can replace emotions, thoughts, desires with spiritual soles."
"... so we lose everything. Does that mean joy as a person, life?
"That's right. 'Cause you're gonna be a spirit. The future as a person is lost instead of gaining power. We can't get old, we can't go through time together, we just stay the same. None of this distracts me from maintaining the vessel. See? You'll lose everything eventually, won't you?
"... No way, Llumiel was the one who left the ban on examples?
I don't know.
I was deluded by a grin I wasn't sure what I was thinking.
But I've learned about spiritual covenants. Neither the reality nor the price of the contract may have been left as knowledge.
Right now, I think I'm getting a hard look. Then Yufi also stared at Rhumiel with a serious look.
"... Lumiel, how much will the price be for someone with a soul close to the Spirit?
"If you're asking about your daughter herself, I guess it's not so much the same as" who I am now. "Seems like your ego as a person is initially thin, and I guess the Spirit is familiar with people's senses a lot. And it hasn't even precipitated itself as a spirit. It's like a work of art, and if you were to lean on the spiritual side of it, you wouldn't feel the big price."
"... you're losing it just because you don't feel it, right?
"Man and the Spirit are another being from the ground up. Isn't" confusing "enough?
...... I have been pushed to silence by Llumiel's words. Different thoughts come to mind, disappear and repeat, and thoughts do not come together.
Did Uffi have the same thing or did she shut up with a serious look on her face? Look at us like that. Rhumiel gives her shoulders a whisper.
"Anyway, rest here today. There's a lot to think about."
I was looking up into the sky with my hips on high tree branches to sum up my thoughts.
The forest covered by branches is dark and the lights are indispensable at hand. Still, I don't even feel like staying at Rhumiel's residence, and I'm getting blurred out here.
I'm worried about Yufi, too. For my part, I thought I had to get my thoughts together by the time I talked to Uffi. That's all the truth surrounding the Spirit covenant was too shocking.
"... I didn't think there was such a good story."
Not much, no matter how much.
What is the honor of the First King? Its first king quit man in a spiritual covenant, and on top of that he turned into a monster that looked to conquer the world. By the way, it's not even a joke that my real daughter would kill me. I just want you to be in that kind of creativity.
And the sprouts of the possibility that I could use magic also crushed. Llumiel says "rare man". A soul without a spirit in its soul. I can't resonate with the Spirit because I don't have the Spirit. I can't use magic.
If resonance becomes magic, I know it. "Engraved" engraved on my back for me. This, if I may say so, is not a soul, but an engraved on my flesh. In the end, the spiritual covenant is no different from the engraving. That's just the difference between carving it into a vessel called flesh or a vessel called soul.
"Oh, my God, then magic is not evil."
It's just a glorious feat, so they just believe it's the right thing to do.
But the essence of magic is no different from the invention I created in my magic. In particular, it is extremely similar to engraving. It's not crap.
"... snap into boulders"
"Oh, what snaps?
"Hiya!?"
I feel like I'm losing my balance because of the signs I suddenly felt. It was Llumiel who supported that body.
Soon she was "floating" behind me. She sat next to me laughing strangely.
"... if you want to speak up, give me a sign."
"Hehe, I'm sorry"
"What are you doing here?
It really hits Lumiel hard. I feel terrible about it.
"I wanted to talk to you more, uh, Alice?
"No! Anis! Anisphere!"
"In anise, then. I can stay in the Ryumi, too, okay?
"On your own, Llumiel"
It's not cute.
Don't poke me in the cheek, don't be nervous! I look at it unintentionally, but it doesn't look familiar at all.
"If you mean the Great Spirit, give me some more majesty."
"It would be convenient for someone like that, wouldn't it? I didn't know that."
"You must be an ex-human!
"Something I don't remember being raised as a human being. I am royal. I think you know what that means.
It was an abominable response. I stare at Llumiel with such a grin, hateful enough to want to bite me by accident.
"Heh heh, you grew up pretty depressed. Well, if it's this country, I don't know what else to do? You didn't abandon your country much. Or destroy the country."
"... I'm not like you"
"Right? You're human, I'm a spirit. I just took people's vessels."
"You're a human being."
"What I wanted to be was a fact."
"... even though you were born as a person? You were a father who wasn't even Roku, the first king."
"Either it's the mother who's not Roku, or maybe it's not the surroundings. Even though my father recognized me as a child, that's all. There is no major obstacle to the" operation "of the country. Maybe a spare for when something happens to me, a pawn for diplomacy?
"Not good enough."
Oh, really. There is no royalty. I thought so from the bottom of my heart.
"... hey, what's a spirit?
"Oh, that's abrupt."
"Answer me, Great Spirit"
"The Spirit is a zero shard itself from the world. Nothing more or less."
"Then what's" God "who created the Spirit?
"The great will that created us, I would say. I wonder. Is there still a God in the real sense? Some of the great spirits called" God "have seen each other face to face."
"... what does Rhumiel think? Do you really think there's a god?
"I think he was." But it's not enough. Or you're not willing to do anything. "
"... unwilling to do anything?
"If there is a God, don't you think the Spirit will change the world as God wills? The light and darkness of the Origins created by God, and the subspecies spirits, beginning with the four great spirits elephant from the world. None of them would try to" exchange something from themselves, "would they? Isn't that God's will?
Llumiel makes sure to look further afield and talk pompous.
"There were times when I was touring the world, looking for a being called God. I just never really met the God of Genesis. If there is a supernormal person whose existence as God truly portrays the law of the world, what is man born for and what does he live for? I wanted to throw that question at you."
"... you're not looking anymore? Did you find the answer?
"I told you earlier. I'm not here anymore, or willing to do anything. God or not, this world doesn't change. The Spirit does not change either so that God does not change. It is man's prayer, desire, and desire itself that always changes God and the Spirit. That's magic."
... Is the faith of the Ministry of Magic also wrong in a way? But the destination is not happiness as a person. Happiness as a Spirit.
So you shouldn't bind the country with that idea. Because we are human beings. There's nothing wrong with being human even if you can't use magic. Until we abandon being that person, to the Spirit, um, man is not weak enough that we have to drown in our own prayers and wishes.
"People don't live for magic. It's good to work really hard and pray when you can't help it. I don't want to tell you that it's a mistake to be saved. But giving up before that and drowning in prayer is... unacceptable"
"... boulders, rare people. Every rare person I've ever seen looked like that."
"... does Rhumiel know more about rare people?
"I can tell, to a certain extent. It's easy to understand because you don't feel spirits."
"... you don't have any traits or anything? For example, you have memories of a previous life..."
"You ask strange things?
Llumiel looks at me with an astonishing look. I don't think I have any idea.
"You seem to be even more unusual among rare people. I've never heard of you having memories of your past life. But everyone has been innovative. In that sense, you can't leak into that example either. As if that's the messenger of God."
"The messenger of God?
"Yep. Nature and they arrive as if they were on a mission, to do what they have to do. And sometimes even if you risk your life to accomplish it. There is no miracle there called magic. Even if it is only possible to come by as an escort, magic will not take shape without prayer. He who stands as the leader of men and paves the way.... Are you obvious about that?
"... I wonder why someone with magic wouldn't take the initiative. Even though I have the power."
"A soul that contains the Spirit can also be described as a soul that cannot be formed without prayer. I mean, you don't have enough" glow "in your soul as a person. You guys don't have the will of a rare person."
Tong, and is touched to be pushed in the chest with a finger. That's how Lumiel floats is a smile of mercy.
There I saw other colors of envy that I would miss.
"... could your partner have been a rare person?
I'll leave it to your imagination.
Cover it all up with laughter, and Llumiel won't talk. Like saying that's the answer.
"Being a rare person doesn't make me happy. Nor does it say that a soul full of spirits is unhappy. Everything is a living result, what do you feel at the end of it? That's everything. Is that why you're not going to disparage that young lady?
"... Yufi is a sweet good boy"
"Sounds like it. She's a real miracle. That kid shouldn't have enough soul power, but he can maintain his physical appearance as a person despite being a spirit of spirituality. You don't have half as much mental power."
"That's not what I was saying."
"That's a general theory. I mean, that kid's out of standard again.... I envy you."
"... envious?
"If only that child's strength were on my father, even a fraction. I wonder what happened to me."
Llumiel's hand reaches out to my head. The gentle arrangement that combs my hair is like a mother for my child. It makes me touch nature, and I don't think I hate that.
Even though I have no certainty, I'm convinced this man is my ancestor far away. It's not rational. As if this body is what this soul remembers.
"Let's go back before your body gets cold."
"... ok"
So I could snort nature into the proposal. Llumiel's face, smiling softly, was so human that she didn't think she was a person.
