Book 1 Chapter 945

945.

Following Biharr, Kal, who was heading to Kyle's house, cautiously called out to Verkhia.

"Lady Verkhia."

"Huh? Why?"

"Shouldn't Lady Luna go home with Lady Verkhia?"

At his words, Luna, who was looking at Kal and Perena with a burdened expression, smiled faintly.

"What are you talking about? You're a guest officially invited by Lysinas, aren't you? I should properly entertain you, shouldn't I?"

"You don't have to go to such trouble."

"Oh, come on. Don't refuse."

Luna smiled brightly.

Seeing the intellectual curiosity filling her eyes, Kal thought.

'She's planning an experiment.'

Kal knew very well how great Luna's intellectual curiosity, inquisitiveness, and enthusiasm for magic were.

That's why he got scared when she talked about dissecting him.

'If it's Lady Luna, she'd really do it and then some.'

Of course, there would be no danger to his life.

But being dissected was not a pleasant experience.

Trembling- Kal shuddered and desperately searched for Kyle inwardly.

'Please come quickly, please come quickly.'

Having arrived in front of Kyle's house, the group stopped their steps for a moment.

"Sniffle- sniffle-"

In front of Kyle's house, an elf was squatting, burying his face in his knees.

Luna, seeing the silver-haired elf, asked Verkhia.

"Who is it? Do you know this elf by any chance?"

"No."

"Biharr. Do you know him?"

"There's no way I would know an elf that Lady Luna and Verkhia don't know."

"Eiran?"

At that moment, Kal stepped forward and spoke to the silver-haired elf.

At his words, Eiran, who lifted his head, opened his lake-like blue eyes wide and burst into tears of relief. "Waaah-!

"Kal-nim!"

'How did Eiran get into the hero dungeon? Ah, could it be that he found the entrance and came in?'

If so, it means that the existence of this dungeon was noticed from outside.

'This is a bit of a relief, isn't it?'

Kal calmly handed a handkerchief to Eiran.

"I thought I was all alone. Sniffle- What should I do? Sniffle-"

"Yes. Yes. But first, calm down."

"Is he your companion too?"

Luna suddenly poked her face out from behind Kal.

"Lady Luna. It's not good for my heart when you suddenly poke your face out like that."

"Why?"

"Because you're so pretty it makes my jaw drop."

"Oh-ho. You know how to flatter, don't you?"

"Huh?! Lady Luna?"

Eiran, startled, wiped his face with the handkerchief he received from Kal.

"Ah, hello."

Luna, who was staring intently at Eiran as he bowed his head, smiled brightly and hugged Eiran.

"Look at this one. So cute. You resemble Verkhia a lot, don't you?"

"I'm prettier."

Verkhia said with a sullen face.

"Our Verkhia, are you jealous?"

Luna let go of Eiran.

"Anyway, Kal. Are you acquainted with this child?"

"Yes. He's a friend."

"Oh-ho?"

'Is he also a person from the future?'

Luna's eyes twinkled.

Seeing that, Kal thought.

'Good. I can just throw Eiran at Lady Luna.'

Kal, who had found a scapegoat, showed a meaningful expression.

After a brief conversation, the group entered Kyle's house.

"The house is… incredibly neat."

Perena, who saw the interior of the house, spoke with a slightly flustered voice.

"Right? It's so clean, like he has mysophobia, isn't it?"

At Luna's words, Perena mumbled to herself.

'This isn't just mysophobia level clean.'

Perena felt a chill in this place.

Perena, a shadow candidate, could tell.

That the owner of this space, Kyle, the Hero of Beginnings, was a person ready to die at any moment.

It's different from being resolved to die.

'He seems to have no attachment to life.'

Such people usually don't live long.

Nevertheless, Kyle, as the last remaining one, saved the world in the final moment.

It was then that Perena felt an irony.

Luna headed to the kitchen and, as if accustomed, prepared a meal.

"Everyone, sit down. Since the owner isn't here, I'll prepare for the guests instead."

At her words, Verkhia and Biharr paused, then looked around.

"Oh dear. Even so, since you're providing us with a place to stay and food, doing nothing feels a bit much. I'll make it."

"Lady Luna. The guest says he'll make it instead."

"Lady Luna, please sit and rest."

With Kal's well-timed support, Verkhia and Biharr quickly pushed Luna's back.

"Huh? I'll make it. No, I've been practicing cooking lately, so it shouldn't be inedible, right?"

Luna didn't give up with a flustered face, but Kal quickly put on an apron and entered the kitchen.

Luna, sitting down, glanced around the interior of the house and clicked her tongue.

'This is always an unpleasant room to come to.'

Luna also knew why there was nothing in Kyle's house.

That's why Luna disliked this house.

'Should I just drag him to our house?'

Luna, sighing, glanced at Eiran and Perena who were sitting, sensing the atmosphere.

'Children from the future.'

She hadn't heard directly from Kal that they were from the future.

However, Luna was convinced that they, including Kal, were from the future.

This was due to Kal's magic spell system, which she learned about during her investigation of Kal.

'It's not of this era.'

Nor is it from the distant past.

It was a magic system clearly more advanced than the present.

'Lysinas, from what I see, also seemed to have talked to that child and noticed.'

Luna, glancing at Perena, turned her head and looked at Verkhia and Biharr.

She couldn't tell these two yet.

'From the future. Just knowing that will clearly cause great confusion.'

Luna, too, had made a fuss about dissecting and what not, but she had no intention of doing anything more than that.

'There might be problems with the timeline due to the influence of the future. Or maybe the timeline might even split?'

Thinking about various theories, Luna indulged in pleasant fantasies.

Then a sudden doubt arose.

'What about our future?'

Luna was not surprised by the fact that they saved the world.

Luna believed the hope that Lysinas told her without a doubt.

She had firm faith in herself and her comrades, so she was confident that they would save the world in some form or another.

That's why what she was curious about was what had become of her in the future.

'Did Kyle and I get married and have children? Hmm. How many did we have?'

As Luna was imagining the future.

Bang-

The door opened and Kyle entered.

And seeing Kal in the kitchen, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luna didn't cook. What a relief."

"What do you mean by 'relief'? You damn human scum."

Luna laughed and grabbed Kyle by the collar.

"What, there's one more person now?"

"Ah, hello! My name is Eiran."

Kyle chuckled, looking at Eiran who bowed his head in greeting.

"He somehow resembles Verkhia, but unlike Verkhia, he's cute."

"I'm cuter."

"You're not cute."

Verkhia looked at Kyle with eyes full of dissatisfaction.

Kyle, who had sat down, asked Luna.

"By the way, have you heard anything from Arion, who went to Reysar?"

"Yes. It seems he's looking for the Guardian of the Azure Sky."

"Really?"

"Anyway, Kyle. Didn't you say you'd investigate the internal situation of Reysar separately when you went to support them last time?"

"I did."

"How was it? Lysinas seems to be worried whether to accept refugees or not, saying Reysar's atmosphere has been unusual lately."

'How was it?'

Kyle poured water into a cup and recalled the situation in Reysar.

Last time.

He recalled the internal situation of Reysar.

'It was rotten to the core. To the point where it would be better to cut it out.'

Even Kyle couldn't guess how rotten Reysar was.

'That place should already be considered half the domain of Tartarus.'

If refugees were accepted rashly, apostates would also mix in among them.

But Kyle couldn't tell this story to his other comrades.

Because if they heard this story, Lysinas would undoubtedly try his best to save Reysar.

'Right now, we're overwhelmed with Gadshron's internal problems alone.'

Though pretending to be fine, Lysinas was suffering from overwork.

This was because the damage suffered during the last Giant King's invasion was too immense.

It wasn't just Lysinas.

Luna, Dweno, and Arion also felt a severe burden.

'This is our limit right now.'

In such a situation, they couldn't increase their workload.

'Reysar won't be destroyed immediately.'

Kyle, who judged it would be better to observe for the time being, said.

"There weren't any significant problems."

"I see."

Luna believed Kyle's words and nodded.

Meanwhile.

Kal, who was cooking and listening to the conversation, fell into thought.

'Lord Arion is alone in Reysar?'

Kal's mind raced.

'This is Lord Arion's world. And our capture objective is someone's survival.'

Having reached that point, Kal came to a conclusion.

'Could the goal be to ensure the survival of Lord Arion in Reysar?'

Kal, having grasped a clue, glanced at Kyle.

'But Leo… Lord Kyle said there were no big problems in Reysar?'

At that moment, Kal's eyes met Kyle's.

Kal awkwardly smiled, then focused on his cooking.

'Could it be a lie?'

That possibility also existed.

'First, I'll have to talk to Eiran later.'

***

"What is this situation?"

Damian asked with an expressionless face, looking at the students of the Hero Academy in front of him.

To that, Drianah calmly replied.

"We are all together formulating a strategy to clear Lord Arion's world."

Led by the third-year students of each Hero Academy, they were racking their brains to clear [The Fall of Reysar].

"I know that without you telling me."

Damian frowned.

"What I want to ask is why you're looking for a way to prevent the fall of Reysar."

It was as Damian asked.

Currently, the students of the Hero Academy were not simply trying to clear the heroes' world.

Over-achievement.

They were discussing methods for the salvation of Reysar, which differed from actual history.

"According to known information, Reysar was a city of traitors."

"Yes."

"And Erebus was summoned in a situation where he originally couldn't be summoned."

"That's right. If you make a rash mistake, you might end up facing the fully summoned Erebus."

Damian said.

"With your skills, let alone Erebus, it's hard to deal with the Legion Commanders who existed at that time. Don't do anything reckless and…"

"Then shouldn't we just stop Erebus from being summoned?"

"What?"

"If Erebus, who shouldn't have been summoned, was summoned, it must be related to the traitors. In that case, we just need to stop the summoning, don't we?"

Damian burst into laughter.

At the sudden laughter, the students stopped talking and looked at Damian.

Damian scanned the students and said.

"Lord Kyle, the Hero of Beginnings, abandoned Reysar because it was the best option at that time."

"I know."

Drianah calmly replied.

"But why are you trying to save Reysar?"

Damian spoke clearly in a chilling voice.

"Are you planning to die a dog's death for something with no possibility?"

"Wow, what he's saying is totally annoying. Who does he think he is to speak so carelessly?"

Illiana, who was listening, muttered quietly.

Then, as Damian's gaze turned to her, she quickly hid behind Chloe.

Damian looked at Drianah and said.

"Know your place. With your skills, you cannot save Reysar."

"Perhaps."

Drianah smiled faintly.

"But we all studied the heroes' world in school for over-achievement."

"…"

"That was a very precious goal that the Heroes of Creation left for future generations when they established the school."

Drianah looked Damian directly in the eyes and said.

"Lord Damian taught us dwarves to 'pursue possibilities'."

"That's because Damian was a dwarf who couldn't pursue possibilities himself."

Damian said chillingly.

"It wasn't just Damian. Lumern despaired and despaired at his limits, and Seirun couldn't trust himself. Azonia was caught in the past and couldn't move forward. The Heroes of Creation were just people who pushed what they couldn't do onto future generations."

Damian's words were denying the Heroes of Creation.

It was an unacceptable remark for the students of the Hero Academy.

The atmosphere grew tense.

"Perhaps."

Drianah said calmly.

"But wishing that future generations would do so… I believe it's because the Heroes of Creation themselves desperately wished for it."

Drianah spoke firmly.

"Lord Kyle abandoned Reysar. At that time, that was clearly the best option. But now is different from then, isn't it?"

An unwavering will could be felt.

Seeing her unwavering belief in her own possibilities, Damian clenched his fist.

At that moment.

"What's going on?"

Leo appeared.

Seeing Leo, Drianah said.

"It's nothing much."

Drianah smiled faintly.

"We were devising a strategy to save Reysar."

"I thought I told you not to?"

At Leo's words, Drianah shrugged.

"Children usually don't listen to adults, you know."
