Chapter 68. Changing fate (8)
13.
The next emperor of the Leuven Empire.
Noah’s guess that there is a possibility that Chartrand Monique Al Reuben is a collaborator of the Abyss.
This word that came out of nowhere was enough to send a shock to the audience. The atmosphere in the barracks quickly hardened and a sense of silence soon set in.
Some time after that.
In this tense atmosphere, there was someone who was the first to move their lips. The girl with round golden eyes was Delia.
“… … “What is the basis for the guess?”
At first glance, this is an absurd guess.
The person who will become the next emperor, and not anyone else, is the Abyss’ collaborator. However, if it was Noah who said these words, it would be a different story.
She is a player who has lived in this world dozens or hundreds of times.
“First of all, the first basis is that the speed of development is significantly different from the original work.”
As soon as Delia’s question was finished, Noah gave the answer he had prepared as if he had been waiting.
In the original work, Chartrand manifests his twisted desires after he ascends to the throne of emperor. So, this happened after the empire had stabilized to some extent.
Because he is as ambitious as his desire for Perticia.
‘But now…’ … .’
The current emperor, who was sick, had not even passed away, but he had already expressed his desire. This was an abnormality that never occurred in the original work.
And one more thing.
There was evidence to support the speculation.
“More than anything, I am concerned about the fact that Count Dermore is the bearer of the imperial decree. He is also given a great deal of authority.”
Demuel is now certain to be an Abyss Apostle.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that the authority delegated to him was Chartrand’s agent.
Moreover, Demuel is a character who has no contact with Chartrand in the original work. However, gaining Chartrand’s trust so suddenly was suspicious.
“Well, the original, secondly… … .”
“The Count’s side is definitely suspicious.”
Ibella and Delia examined the validity of Noah’s speculation with serious expressions.
On the other hand, is it because we have once again heard bad speculation following the shocking truth? Perticia’s complexion darkened again.
“ah! Of course, this is just speculation, so don’t take it too seriously.”
Noah, who discovered this late, patted Perticia’s shoulder as if comforting her.
Then, as if trying to brighten up the chaotic atmosphere, he deliberately cleared his throat.
“Hmm! For now, let’s sleep for today. “If you sleep well, you will be able to withstand the forced march tomorrow.”
After answering, Noah lay down on the bed.
The hall became quiet again.
As I turned my head to see if everyone had fallen asleep, I suddenly heard a voice breaking the silence.
“… … “I can’t sleep.”
It’s Ibella’s voice.
She jumped up from her seat, her eyes shining brightly, and soon answers similar to Ibella’s came back from here and there.
“so do i.”
“Ugh, I lost sleep because I heard such a shocking story.”
Noah chuckled at this sight.
It was because it was the reaction I expected.
Well, it would be strange if you could fall asleep after hearing this story. Just as I was thinking that, the darkness that had filled the barracks suddenly cleared.
“So let’s talk some more.”
It was thanks to Perticia summoning the fire spirit.
Ybella also asked curiously.
“Is there anything else you want to say?”
“yes! “It’s about Noah.”
“Yes? Me?”
Noah asked back, as if confused by the sudden point. Perticia nodded her head and brought out the question she had been meaning to ask her.
“It’s similar to Ibella’s question earlier. “If all threats from the Abyss are gone, what do you plan to do after that?”
“Well, first of all, the academy… … .”
“Are we going back to the original world?”
Noah was momentarily speechless at Perticia’s question. It was because I had been thinking about a similar problem recently.
“Well, it’s been a topic I’ve been curious about ever since Noah revealed his identity.”
“Are you really going to go back to where you came from?”
Delia nods slowly.
Next, Ibella looked at Noah with eyes filled with some kind of regret. On the other hand, she still did not receive an answer from Noah.
“… … .”
To be honest, I haven’t decided yet.
Of course, until I entered Arsene Academy, I was full of thoughts of returning, but as time went by, my thoughts changed.
Even if he did go back, there was no one he could say was on his side in the other world.
‘On the other hand, this place is different.’
There is Ulan, and there are other colleagues.
There are friends I didn’t make in the past world.
Is that why? When given the opportunity to return to the original world, Noah himself was not sure whether he would seize it.
At the time I was hesitating to answer.

“You can decide that at that time.”
“… … !?”
Suddenly a low-pitched voice was heard.
A voice came in without warning.
The girls’ eyes widened as if they were startled. Afterwards, I looked towards the entrance of the barracks where I heard the voice and immediately saw a large young man.
“Now that there are two Lords of the Abyss remaining, there is no need to hesitate.”
“Uh, Ulan?!”
The owner of the voice is none other than Ulan.
Meanwhile, the girls, who realized that their opponent was Ulan, let down their guard.
“Well, that’s also true.”
“Because all the fighting is not over yet.”
Delia and Ibella nod their heads.
As Ulan said, the conversation the girls had was from a distant future. So for now, all I had to do was focus on the goal in front of me.
The conversation quickly faded away, and soon the girls’ attention turned to Ulan.
“Besides, what’s going on here?”
“I came because I had some business to do.”
Ulan answered calmly.
Then, the three girls except Noah had their eyes sparkling without anyone else noticing them.
“Hmm! “Do you have something to do with me?”
“What nonsense? Just looking at it, you came because you had something to tell me. “Right?”
“Wrong. “Ulan came to visit me.”
The three, who had guessed the reason for Ulan’s visit, turned their attention to him again. It’s like asking someone who has business to do.
Although he may have felt quite a bit of pressure, Ulan calmly explained the reason for coming to the barracks, as if nothing had happened.
“It’s all of you who have business.”
“huh? That means… … ?”
“This is Ian’s call. “He said he had something to say.”
After answering, Ulan pointed outside the barracks.
Like telling me to come out. The three girls looked at each other and sighed in unison.
“Huh, then that’s right.”
“For some reason, it felt like it was going to happen like this.”
“Chi, I was expecting something.”
A reaction with a clear sense of disappointment, as if something had leaked.
Noah looked at the three with an awkward smile. But even then, the four girls gathered their outerwear and left the barracks.
Some time after that.
The group followed Ulan and went to the barracks prepared for Ian and Laurea.
“Ah, are you here?”
At that time, Ian’s face lit up when he discovered Ulan’s group. Afterwards, the group approached Ian and immediately asked him the reason for the call.
“Why are you calling me so late at night?”
“what? “But why are you outside?”
“Besides, I’m wearing all the armor… … .”
Noah also showed a curious reaction.
That was because Ian was currently armed with divine armor and a shield.
Just as Ian was about to answer this question, Delia suddenly made a plausible guess.
“Just looking at it, Laurea kicked it out.”
“Haha, half right and half wrong. “It is true that I was kicked out, but it was something that could not be helped.”
Ian burst out laughing.
Then, his face immediately hardened. An uncharacteristically serious expression. After a while, Ian whispered the reason for the call.
“The saint is receiving an oracle.”
“… … !”
An unexpected situation.
The faces of the group all hardened. Afterwards, Ian continued speaking in a calm tone.
“After the oracle, everyone will have to gather together anyway, so I called them in advance. We also needed troops to protect the current saint.”
While receiving the oracle, you will be completely defenseless against external attacks.
Also, if someone touches Laurea while receiving an oracle, the divine power may flow back, putting one’s life in danger.
It was the moment when the reason why Ian was fully armed so late at night was revealed.
“Right. understood.”
“What should we do?”
“Please provide escort around the barracks to prevent access to the saint. “There are so many strong people here that I can’t help them.”
The group nodded at his request.
Sven climbed to the top of the barracks and fully engaged all his senses. To monitor whether anyone happens to come here.
Ulan and Ibella moved to the other side of the barracks and maintained their positions, while Noah and Delia activated spells and magic to build a barrier.
How long has it been like that?
As the position of the moon in the sky changed, a small sigh came out from inside the barracks.
“ha.”
It’s Laurea’s voice.
Without thinking about who else to go first, the group looked inside the barracks, and soon Laurea’s message reached their ears.
“Everyone can come in.”
With those words, the group entered the barracks one by one, with Ian at the head. The first thing I saw was Laurea’s face drenched in sweat.
“what? Are you okay?”
“It looks like the condition is not good.”
“If you’re having a hard time, you can tell me tomorrow!”
As her colleagues said, she currently looked quite tired. Lau Lea, on the other hand, shook her head as if nothing had happened.
“No, it’s okay. “Because I’m used to it.”
It’s always like this after receiving a trust.
Still, there was no need to put it off until tomorrow as it would get better quickly over time. Also, there is something that must take priority now.
“Rather, Ian, take a pen and parchment…” … .”
“Yes, I have prepared it.”
Ian approaches as if he had been waiting.
He naturally unfolded the parchment, and then Laurea took the pen and began writing down the contents of the oracle on the parchment.
After a not so short period of time has passed.
The trust was revealed to everyone.
『A huge mountain rising from the abyss will spread darkness and cover the source of the desert.』
『My agent. Follow the guidance of the star, stop the moving mountain, and fulfill your duty and mission.』
『Just be careful.』
『A chain hidden in the darkness.』
『Go forward and keep this in mind.』
『You are not the only one who remembers the traces left by the repeated whirlpool of time.』
This was the end of the contents of the oracle.
After finishing recording, Laurea sat down and took a deep breath, as if she had used up a lot of mental energy.
Meanwhile, Noah, who was looking at the records on the parchment, shook his head and his eyes sparkled.
“Hmm, I guess I get the idea.”
“I think the same thing.”
As they said, the oracle was not difficult.
First of all, the huge mountain obviously refers to the giant king Largtan, and the chains hidden in the darkness also refer to the curse of the abyss.
“If there’s anything I’m worried about… … .”
“Just the last verse, I guess.”
Then Laurea joined the conversation.
The other group members nodded as if they understood what she said. Except for one person.
Ulan asked back in a puzzled tone.
“What does that mean?”
“It means that Largtan, like Ulan, probably regained his memories of his past life.”
Only then did Ulan look like he understood.
However, there was no expression of anxiety or nervousness on his face. Instead, he lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled in satisfaction.
“That’s a good thing.”
“yes? What is that… … .”
“Now that we can finally make a decision.”
Ulan clenched his fists as he recalled a battle in his past life that ended in a draw. It was with eyes filled with warlike intent.
On the other hand, unlike Ulan, there were some who could not smile at all. It was Noah. She stared at the oracle’s records written on her parchment.
‘… … The oracle is warning.’
Why did I mention the curse once again?
It was a warning that Largtan, who had regained his memories of his past life, might be preparing an even more powerful curse.
‘Perhaps in the worst case scenario… … .’
You may need to use a bookmark.
Noah, who glimpsed the possibility that the future would unfold differently from the original through an unexpected oracle, tightly held on to the bookmark he obtained from the ordeal in the foreign land.
It was accompanied by an expression full of silent determination.
