131. Can I leave it here…?
‘What is that…… sound?’
I couldn’t understand what Kroyton said.
Arlem’s power all of a sudden?
I had never seen or obtained anything like that.
Let’s not answer anything with a face that I didn’t understand.
Creighton had no choice but to ask again.
“Arlem…… power. What, what’s the secret?”
I wonder if I’ve told you something I’ve been hiding, carefully.
It’s a secret and sleep…
“I have never taken Arlem’s power.”
I’m just guessing
Perhaps he felt similar power from Gauriel’s wings.
“Instead, I got two pairs of archangel wings. Isn’t that a misunderstanding? If it’s an archangel’s wing, it must also contain the power of Arlem.”
“Archangel wings?”
Wouldn’t it be better to see it for yourself than to say it a hundred times?
I spread my wings indoors.
flutter!
Seeing this, Creighton narrowed his eyes.
“These are the wings that were spread in the battle with Hellperion a while ago.”
“Yes.”
“But, didn’t I witness that myself? I didn’t mean to say it when I saw it.”
“Isn’t this one too?”
Orhel intervened in Creuyton’s denial.
“Aren’t you mistaken? I’ve been traveling with my brother, so I don’t know. If there was something about getting Arlem’s power, I wouldn’t be able to know… Besides, the archangel’s power and Arlem’s power are similar, too. ……”
“No. I didn’t make that mistake. Sir Orhel.”
Unexpectedly, Kroyton cut him off firmly.
“As I said before, I have faced Arlem myself. And its overwhelming strength is not something that can be easily forgotten. I can assure you.”
“Well, if you talk that far…”
Orhel couldn’t even refute anything more.
Except for Creyton, no one in this room had ever come face to face with Arlem.
Both Magmaros and Orhel were all beings of the era after the War of the Gods.
Only Kroyton was born during the war.
Kroyton calmly began to explain the Arlem energy he sensed in me.
“And above all, Arlem’s aura… I felt it a little deeper inside. It wasn’t directly felt through the wings.”
I pondered over his words.
“In the depths?…….”
The more I listened, the more my doubts grew.
No matter how much I thought about it, the only thing I could feel Arlem’s energy out of all the powers I had was the power of the archangel Gauriel.
then……
“Did you have it originally?”
It seemed that Orhel had the same thought as I had.
* * *
“……”
I couldn’t answer anything else because I couldn’t think of anything other than that.
As I kept my mouth shut, Orhel involuntarily made excuses that were not excuses.
“No, if it’s Brother… wouldn’t it be strange to say that he was born with that kind of power?”
Magmaros also began to chime in.
“That’s true. He can absorb the wings of an archangel without any risk, and can use the power of the giants… Sir Rohan, I think he’ll understand right away even if he had that much power.”
What kind of existence am I in their heads…
Of course, that wasn’t the only thing that was strange to me.
With his basic passive, he hated demons and was able to gain infinite power.
It’s the power of God.
‘Hmm……Wait a minute.’
Suddenly, I remembered my passive after a long time.
[Passive: Those who hate demons – Those who hate demons will repulse even the smell of evil tribes and will slaughter them without leaving.
Because of that hatred, you will buy the joy of the gods, and in return, you will have the authority of countless gods in your hands!]
Come to think of it, the word ‘God’ appeared here as well.
At the time, I thought it was just an expression.
It wasn’t taken lightly now.
Actually, if you think about it, in other characters’ passives, there was no such thing as the word ‘God’.
‘I live for God’s pleasure…? So, does this have any meaning?’
let me shake my head
Orhel, who was watching me from the side, cautiously asked a question.
“Brother, let me ask you one question.”
“……?”
“Humans… are they right?”
I don’t have an answer.
Rather, Orhel was embarrassed and hurriedly added supplementary explanations.
“No, it’s possible. Was there anything insignificant about what Brother showed us?”
However, Andrew refuted that statement.
“Still, it’s a strange question to ask if he’s human or not. He doesn’t have pointy ears, and he’s not on the small side like a dwarf. But he’s not even a vampire with long fangs sticking out.”
But I… I couldn’t agree with Andrew’s words.
So, I expressed my honest thoughts.
“I don’t know. Me too.”
With that one word, everyone’s eyes…
turned to me
* * *
“I don’t know. What does that mean?”
Orhel’s question.
I looked at Diaz.
“To be honest, in my memory, there is no memory of my childhood. I don’t know where I was born or how I grew up…”
“You don’t have memories of your childhood…?”
At my answer, Kroyton and Magmaros’ eyes widened.
“then……”
“Maybe it means that there is a possibility that he is not really a simple human?…”
Orhel also looked at me with surprised eyes.
“Aren’t you a real human?”
“…As I said a moment ago, unfortunately, I have no memory at all.”
“That’s… if that’s the case, you’ll fall into the labyrinth.”
“……”
at that time.
smart!
A knock on the door of the inn broke the silence that had spread between us.
Diaz quietly went outside.
By the way……
She soon came back and called me.
“Rohan-sama, I think you should come out and see.”
I didn’t think it was a big deal, but it seemed like it wasn’t a big deal.
At that, I stopped thinking and followed Diaz.
Anyway, nothing came to mind right away.
“What’s going on?”
“That’s… I guess it’s hard to explain in words…”
“Well?”
It wasn’t that far before I reached the door, so I held back my curiosity for a moment and hurried my steps.
Let’s get to the door like that.
I saw a dwarf standing in front of the entrance.
Behind it stood a winged black horse-shaped statue.
“It’s been a while, Rohan!”
He was none other than the blacksmith dwarf Humkarian.
“Humkarian? What happened here?…”
“I told you. If you get rid of the fire giant… I will complete a masterpiece myself and give it to you.”
He banged the palm of his hand on the horse-shaped statue standing behind him and continued.
“You kept your promise, and I’m here to keep my promise. Now! Here it is! The masterpiece of my lifetime! I’ve put the mortal claws you gave me to fit well, and I’ve finished it!”
“……”
That horse-shaped statue?
Even using the claws of a mortal bird?…
‘Why…’
It’s scary to think that.
Swoop!
The head of the statue is moving!
Of course I
Diaz, who was with him, was also taken aback.
“Ahh?!”
Looking at Diaz, who was startled and jumped up from his place.
Humkarian smiled with an ambitious face.
“It’s not just a statue. It’s a golem in the shape of a Pegasus! Of course, it can actually fly like the legendary Pegasus! How about it? Isn’t this a masterpiece among masterpieces? Fuhahahahaha!”
“……!”
Oh my goodness…a flying golem…
This is really…… It seemed like an unexpected piece.
* * *
Humkarian quickly left, leaving behind only the Pegasus Golem.
It just tells you how to ride and simple content.
[I will listen to Lord Rohan’s words unconditionally. Except for flying, you can ride it like a normal horse, and you don’t need to feed it. It’s infinite power! Whoahahaha]
Diaz and I watched the golem for a while even after Humkarian disappeared.
I came back in a half-stunned state.
For now, leave it in the stable.
The horses in the stable were also taken aback by the sudden appearance of a strange being, stopped eating and watched all at once.
Of course, the Pegasus Golem didn’t care and hardened like a statue again.
‘No…… It seems like he doesn’t even care because he doesn’t care.’
Diaz looked at me and asked me.
“Here… can I leave it here? Mr. Rohan?”
“I can’t bring it in, can I?”
“That, that’s… that’s right.”
It looked like that, but seeing the footprints on it, the weight seemed no joke.
Right now, it feels like a lump of metal.
It felt more like a flying tank than a horse.
In any case, it didn’t seem like it would be a problem right away, since it didn’t even need food.
Diaz and I should leave him behind and go back into the dorm.
Inside, a meeting was going on.
“Brother? What, what’s going on outside? Why is your face mad?”
“……”
I opened my mouth to him and couldn’t bear to answer.
“I’ll show you later.”
He turned the story around with those words.
That out there, how can you express it only in words?
Orhel answered while tilting her head.
“Yeah, yeah? Well. Oh, by the way. While Brother left, we also did our own thing.”
“Well?”
Following Orhel’s words, Magmaros threw out an interesting opinion.
“Unlike the fire giant, the water giant was a twin. The sea giant and the lake giant. That’s why the water spirit king was not alone. He has a faithful general, Treyton… , you must know something.”
“You know what?”
“The link between you and Arlem.”
To Magmaros who answered confidently.
I couldn’t help but be interested.
“……Are you sure?”
“of course.”
“how?”
“Trayton is a creature created by none other than Arlem himself.”
“……!”
If so, it seemed like a possibility.
If you can’t meet Arlem in person right away, this seemed the best.
Magmaros added a few more words afterward.
“Also, you can hear a little bit about Krotos.”
I nodded to him.
“If that’s true… there’s no reason not to go see it, Diaz.”
“Yes!”
“Let’s start preparing for departure.”
“All right!”
That’s how we are, where the water spirit king stayed…
Headed to the Ice Valley of the Thousand Years.
