    Fetal movement (1)

    “Is that so?”

    “The reason why that friend created a strange faction called the Practical Sect was to take care of the other warlocks who depended on him.”

    He continued speaking while sipping coffee.

    “In order to pursue your ideal you must not be caught up in other things.”

    “……..”

    “I have seen too many of them. “There was not a single person who died a satisfactory death… I don’t even have the strength left to blame them anymore.”

    It flows and flows endlessly until it settles in this city.

    How long has Raoul met various people and passed through various deaths?

    Even Lennok who had been living in this city for just over a year was mourning this day in his own way which was difficult to endure day by day.

    “I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done so far.”

    “…..no.”

    Raoul shook his head at Lennok’s words.

    “I am not a fool. I don’t know what goes on in the city council courtyard but I know how things work. If Craig’s death had been delayed it wouldn’t have been surprising if things had taken a turn for the worse. “Am I wrong?”

    “……..”

    Lennok couldn’t deny that.

    If this operation was not successful if Craig had indeed succeeded in controlling the fragment of the apocalypse called Extinction Tree as he said.

    No one could have predicted how the cityscape would have changed.

    That’s why he looked out the window and said something else.

    “…He called the monster he was trying to summon the Apocalypse Shard.”

    “The apocalypse… It was a story that was treated as an old legend even when I was wandering around the continent.”

    Raoul closed his eyes.

    “There was a time when it was full of fanatics who believed in monsters that didn’t exist. “It didn’t take that long to build a foundation and slaughter the madmen who were interfering with the prosperity of mankind and bringing down the builders who built the city.”

    “Are you trying to say that the Balkans don’t have a long history?”

    “This means that concerns have existed for a long time that the disaster threatening the world may not be just a rumor.”

    “……..”

    “There were only rumors that this was the duty that Heavenly Dog Madrea Palseer had been carrying at Philenom’s lighthouse for a long time. No one has actually seen such monsters with their own eyes. “If you want to find out the truth you’ll have to look for someone else not me.”

    “I think so even if you don’t say it.”

    As Lennok said that he slowly stood up.

    My legs are still creaky from the strain I put in during the battle with Zaun.

    I’ll have to use the elixir to somehow get back to normal as soon as possible.

    Raoul looks up at Lennok’s gaunt figure as he stands up hiding his complicated feelings.

    “While you were busy wandering around the outside of the city and stopping Craig’s plan we and others could have just sat back and watched.

    That’s it. “The truth about the giant tree root pattern you were looking for was also much more serious than expected.”

    “What do you want to say?”

    “Don’t you think the world is unreasonable?”

    “……..”

    “Even if you wander alone looking for hidden secrets not many people will understand. Even if this is a sign of the coming apocalypse… there will not be many people who will agree with you.”

    Raoul continued.

    “It’s something you can’t do alone. “No one can survive alone.”

    “So Raoul are you willing to help me?”

    “okay.”

    For a moment silence fell between the two.

    The slanted sunset crept through the gap in the old window and landed on my dry knees.

    “If you need an artifact come to me. Even though it may not be of much help we will provide you with the necessary items as much as we can. Considering your skills at best we can only provide you with consumables.”

    A declaration of cooperation from a black magician from the Buyeo faction who is so good that Croken Asilus protects their safety for business purposes.

    Just being able to freely supply the amulets bombs or cursed items they produce would be a great help to Lennok.

    However Lennok was not blindly pleased with the unrequited favor.

    Just because I believed those words the attitude Raoul showed so far was not easy at all.

    “That’s fun.”

    Lennok chuckled.

    “Did you feel guilty in hindsight?”

    “no.”

    Raoul answered slowly closing his eyes.

    “I think I can understand that friend.”

    “……”

    This is where the story of Craig Tillian who was frustrated and ruined by his own goals after being caught up in Senator Reisen’s greed ends here.

    But how many incidents like that have happened in this city and how many more will there be in the future?

    Lennok was the only one who heard the cry crying out for the irrationality of the world but it seems that the inaudible cry reached Raoul’s heart as well.

    Lennok tried not to think deeply.

    Because I always kept repeating that there was only one important thing.

    However Raoul’s words that he could not live alone did not easily disappear from his heart.
