Chapter 478

Smart pea.

The smart pea used the meaning of home twice.

‘Arnaizel will be there. maybe.’

Like this.

There was no need to inform Danu that Plantz had looked into all the many cases one by one and completed the calculations until Plantz used his own way to threaten and cajole Danu. This is because Kalyan could not trust Danu too much. When Danu realized how smart the pea that Kalian had grown was, he wasn’t sure whether he would have faith or be greedy.

Therefore, a little while ago, Kalyan escaped from Danu’s territory, acting as if he was very disappointed, as if Plantz had followed him based on a half-guessed fact, or as if he had not considered the variables.

But isn’t that actually true?

Instead of risking your life on calculation results that may not be perfect, I taught you to be a little afraid of variables, and I suggested a compromise to ‘fear’ by just assessing all the variables and cases that could happen and preparing for them one by one. Isn’t it a smart pea?

In any case, the question at hand was not whether the pea was scared or how smart it was. There was a bigger problem. The monster-like pea who is so bad at being afraid of risking his life that he came up with a truly novel problem-solving method that creates a situation where he doesn’t have to be afraid at all, and is putting it into practice, said that he couldn’t guarantee it.

A whopping two times.

Not once, but twice.

“…… under.”

So, if we were to change Plantz’s words to what Calian understood, ‘Arnaizel will not be there anyway, but human affairs are inherently full of unknowns, and there is no particular harm in trying in vain, so it’s like taking a walk and just doing it. It would be something like, ‘I’ll just go and see it once.’ Even though you probably don’t know that it’s Calian who can never come close to a wave like this.

“Kiri.”

“Yes, prince.”

okay.

So I didn’t worry about it. I decided not to worry.

“Stay next to Brother Randel.”

Because you won’t know. Nevertheless, Plants recommended going into the sea. I asked you to trust me, so I have to trust you.

Anything.

If you’re suffocating, you can call in the wind. If you bring the wind containing the air above the water and bring it into the sea, you won’t suffocate to death.

After completing that level of preparation, I took my feet off the floor.

I couldn’t even take a long breath into my lungs.

– Taaaat!

And he kicked his feet.

I threw myself into the sea, a sight that no one in the world could describe as a peaceful sight. Without any time for the elf elder Narzan to be surprised or for Kyrie to grab Calian, he ran towards the sea.

– Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

I had only stepped one foot further into the sand, but my entire body was already wet. The roar of the waves, which cannot be explained by common expressions such as ‘splatter, slosh’, torments the eardrums. My hair, soaked in seawater and hanging limp, felt heavy once again.

One step at a time, stepping firmly on the soft floor. I took a step forward, moving my aura to avoid being swept away by the waves crashing down on my head. It rose up to the end of my neck, and before I knew it, it sank down to my waist, and then I took another step, disgusted by the deep blue fear that immediately covered the sky.

– Coogung…!

– Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

If it weren’t for the Aurors, I straightened my body, which would have already been swept into the deep, dark sea. Waves fall endlessly above your head. Unfamiliar salt water covers my eyes. Hold your breath.

The corners of his lips were pulled up. I laughed.

It was crazy.

I turned around.

The sea.

I went crazy, went crazy, and turned around.

Going into the sea.

– Ugh… Ugh…!

The waves rush in and wash away.

Memories of the abyss that I don’t want to recall rush in like waves. The already lacking breath is washing away like a wave. The black sea roars overhead, not as scary as you think, but several times more terrifying than you think. I feel like I’m going deaf from the sound of the ocean’s heart beating like crazy.

Arnaizel.

Just try not to exist.

If not. So, if we can’t meet and the effort ends in vain, it’s all Arnaizel’s fault. If we don’t happen to meet miraculously because we’re not here at this time and in the midst of so much salt water in the vast ocean with no way to guess, it’s all Arnaizel’s fault.

– Kugugugung Kugugugung!

– Ugh!

I moved my feet. Once again, I jumped into the black water without even asking what I would do if I were to be submerged in the sea without meeting Arnaizel or whether I had completed the calculations for such a case. walked forward.

The sea.

The sea with my feet and bare mind.

…… I really messed up.

The waves crash. I could no longer stand and lost my balance. My body sinks. I can’t breathe. In my memories, I dream of my young body sinking to the bottom. It’s locked. Now I’m going down, down, to a place where I don’t even have a younger brother to jump in with me.

To the bottom.

‘older brother.’

It sinks.

To the bottom.

– uh?

until you hear a sound.

A sound other than the roar of the sea. Until a voice I didn’t want to encounter again rang in my head.

– Is it true?

Oh, as expected.

My brother is so fucking smart.

So why make the assumption twice? I almost thought, ‘Oh, I’ll stop trusting you now and just beat everyone up,’ and ran out on the road.

Anyway, I’m glad.

As expected, it was the correct answer.

I laughed. I started laughing without realizing that the last breath I had saved in my mouth was leaking out. The guy who asked me if I was laughing wasn’t there this time, so I just laughed. In the sea that day. In this sea today.

– The piece of the axis of time was taken by Sispanian. I definitely passed it on. Why do you have it?

And dark.

I closed my eyes.

“Damn fish. See you again.”

It was locked. Into the sea.

* * *

To reiterate, Plantz is short on words.

‘Go to the sea.’

He clearly told me to go to the sea.

I didn’t tell you to go into the sea.

‘I can’t swim.’

‘know.’

‘Shall we go anyway?’

‘okay.’

I know better than anyone that you can’t swim, so why would I tell you to go into the sea? I’m not that kind of person. So, I told him to go without worrying about falling into the sea.

‘If you go.’

‘sun. ‘What you’re good at.’

When Calian, who has a piece of the axis of time, stands on the beach, Arnigel, who senses its power, will come to him. Now that you’ve come this far, meet Arnaizel and learn how to use the power of the axis of time. It’s up to you to find out.

Plantz said so.

‘yes.’

And Kalyan said he understood.

After that, he challenged his psychological limits by jumping into the sea without asking any more questions.

He was dressed neatly, wearing a dark gray shirt with a grayish light blue tie, and a pitch black jacket and pants that were not too big or too small. Her long, blue-silver hair, which seemed to be made up of long remnants of starlight, was left to the wind.

To the eyes of those who do not know that this is ‘a completely unexpected situation that arose after numerous misunderstandings that required a somewhat deeper consideration as to whether it was a conversation, but whether it was a conversation’ was just a blue and silver beast rushing towards the rough waves, so In a beautiful way.

okay.

Fortunately, I jumped in, taking off the pitch black robe that was tightly wrapped around my legs and neck in the water. That alone is enough to praise him for being so rational.

– older brother.

– why.

– I met Arnaizel.

– okay.

Anyway, that’s what happened.

Regardless of whether he is smart or not, doing three or more tasks at once has become a daily routine, and Plantz is a smart man who not only infers things from the past that Danu didn’t even show, but has even delved into Serenti’s forbidden laws.

– But I can’t swim. I’m still a little reluctant. If I hadn’t met that fish, I would have been like your cat and crossed the Seneu River right away. Oh, of course, it’s already underwater. Still, it’s not a river and I haven’t crossed anything yet.

I couldn’t understand what my younger brother was saying, who was so brave that I was so crazy.

– …… where.

– Anyway, I arrived safely. We met.

Anyway, I went and met, so I’m glad it happened, but where on earth are you now, you bastard?

– It certainly looks like Arnaizel lives in the sea near the southern great desert. I saw it coming right away like this.

Arnigel, a sea dragon reminiscent of a whale made of crystal, was found in greater numbers in the ocean near Riverne than in Secretia. And when she met Calian, Arnaizel was said to have taken the form of a blue mermaid.

In addition, there was a statue of a mermaid in the fountain of the indoor garden where Calian, who had eaten all the beef jerky given to him by Plants when he first came to the city of elves, had said, ‘If you plant the fluff of Lenicita leaves, bananas will grow.’ However, mermaids did not live in the seas of Secretia or Riverne. They don’t even hunt there to avoid humans.

The appearance of a whale that appears to be made of crystal. The traces of Arnaizel that Alan, who searched the area near Rivern, could not find. The appearance of a mermaid in disguise. A place where a mermaid who escaped from the hands of humans witnessed and carved the appearance of a sea mermaid suitable for living. These facts made me think. And I came to a conclusion.

Arnaizel’s nest may be in the sea near the elf city.

– So did you come out?

– yet.

– yes. Anyway, I’ll be leaving after talking to Arneizel, so you better think about getting out of there. If you say you won’t let me go because you’re smart, please tell me. Because I’m going.

– okay.

– yes.

I finished communicating with Calian, who wanted to believe that he was not in the sea again.

The wind was strong and the waves were high in the sea far away. I’m sure Arneizel won’t disappear and leave the child in the sea again this time. By the way, how on earth can a guy who can’t even float on the water make such a fuss about coming?

– You rejected my intervention.

While I was thinking this, I heard Danu’s voice again. Plantz, who was frowning without realizing it, answered.

“okay.”

– My decision did not change. I will stop the jumble of time. I thought I had found the most reasonable way to do it.

The refusal came back.

Plantz frowned a little more and opened his mouth. But Danu sent his voice first.

– Sispanian said my decision was contradictory. Is it like that for you too?

“Are you referring to your decision not to change anything about the past?”

– It is true.

“In the past, you said you did nothing and watched. Wasn’t the change in your behavior a change?”

– Is it a change?

“Unlike the past, isn’t it a change when you move directly to eliminate the variables of things that are going on? Are you sure that it is an action that does not cause variables? If you move to eliminate things that are different from the past, that movement ends up being different from the past. “Then how do you plan to eliminate the variables you will cause? That movement is also different from the past, so how is that possible?”

It was definitely a question, but I wasn’t expecting an answer. I knew I wouldn’t be able to answer. Therefore, Plantz continued talking.

“My brother’s life has been erased. A person who lived has already been forgotten. How dare you even think of interfering with this, even though you know that. How confident are you that you can control the countless changes that have occurred due to the vacancy of just one person? No matter how hard I try, I can’t calculate it.”

There was no answer again.

Of course. It’s because you can’t come up with an answer. Your own movement is already a change, and trying to eliminate the differences from the past by changing your behavior like that is already a contradiction. So, Danu’s goal was something that could not be solved from the beginning.

– Then, how do you plan to act? What did you calculate?

Instead of answering, Danu asked this question.

The pain of the past was ‘forgotten’ by Kalian. As if gaining understanding by asking, the first life asked the greenest life about the future.

“I will do whatever I can.”

So Plantz answered confidently.

As if there was no need to calculate anything.

Danu was silent. Not understanding the contradiction. Rather, it is because he was unable to come up with an answer. Because the future that a person who has lived only looking at the past faces without preparation is in itself fear and fear. Just like the day when Plantz first put his foot down on the window frame on the third floor

.

– After the War of the Two Gods, Sispanian gathered and protected the remaining races. Instead of the sleeping Serenti, they embraced and cherished the remaining races. Danu said. He

told Plantz a story that had already been passed down for a long time through human words and writing. Human Danu was informed of what was left of what was left, not as a record but as fact, which would certainly be more accurate than his words and writings.

“I know,”

Plantz answered briefly. With that, the darkness cleared and light came in. This time, a pure white light enveloped all around.

– To prevent the death of the earth from spreading further, a border was drawn between the remaining continents and the Great Desert. The surviving dragon babies were scattered across the continent and an old volcano was asked to incubate the unbroken dragon eggs. To my companion, who had gathered humans to live, I He asked them to protect the children together. He hid monsters that were not dead in the great desert and deep mountain ranges. He collected mermaid eggs and placed them deep in the sea, and left harpy babies under the shade of the forest. This was something Plantz also knew

.

However, he did not say that he knew, but just continued to listen.

– As time passed, humans became greedy for the harpy’s heart, and so Sispanian resented the one human who ripped out the heart of the last harpy. However, that human being is also a precious life for Sispanians. Sispanian only gave him the chance to regret it himself. I did this so that I could live the rest of my life with the appearance of the harpy I took. That was the first punishment imposed by the Sispanians.

Plantz frowned.

Of course, Plants also knew that harpies were extinct, but didn’t he? But the last harpy. Cispanian would not have mistaken that.

When I felt suspicious of Danu’s words that started for no reason and was about to ask a question, I heard Danu’s voice again.

– I remember that. And I didn’t understand.

“what.”

Why is Arnaizel different?

“… What does that mean?”

– The Arnaizel I know is a blue dragon. But why does Arnaizel, who lives in my territory, resemble me in appearance? I don’t know that.

Plantz quietly held his breath.

– I conveyed my knowledge to you, who revealed my contradictions.

I hear Danu’s words.

Plantz raised his head.

But Danu had already left. The light disappeared and the wind was blowing.

Grand Elder Narzan appeared. Kyrie and Randel saw numerous elf warriors standing facing them.

– Woe!

Plantz turned his head. I couldn’t figure out what the connection was between the story of the human who took the life of the last harpy and was punished by the Sispanians and the story of Arnaizel, who was said to resemble Danu.

Without considering it, I just looked for my younger brother, who I don’t know where on earth he is right now. Without stopping Kirie’s movements as he hurriedly dragged me and placed him behind my back.

“Callian is.”

“You went into the sea.”

“…… why.”

“You didn’t explain why.”

Plantz had told me to meet Arnaizel. And Calian answered that he would do so without even asking. So I went into the sea. went into the sea.

“

Meet Arnaizel .”

That’s what he said.

Planz.

According to Danu’s words, Calian was placed in front of Arnaizel, who may have killed Danu at some point in the past and may have had that appearance. Kalian, who missed the sea and couldn’t even get close, was pushed into the sea.

“also.”

Planz takes Kalyan.

…… also.

– Jump, jump, jump!

Plantz took a step.

I walked quickly on the sandy beach, which had become hard and wet from the swirling waves.

“Lowering.”

I moved towards the sea.

“Degraded. It’s dangerous.”

I walked even though I knew Kirie was following me.

I continued walking without answering Kirie’s call.

– Tuk!

Someone grabbed Plantz’s shoulder.

“You can’t swim. The waves are too strong.”

I heard a voice.

Plantz raised his head.

“How smart you are. There’s nothing wrong with what you said.”

I saw Calian grinning as he said this.
