I often wonder, can so-called happiness really last?
I like Domi very much, it is a very silly horse
Very silly, but very cute
I am happy every day. When it rains, I go for a run and eat carrots when I have nothing to do.
Go to bed when you are full, eat when you wake up
It should be trouble-free, right?
Very happy... died very happily
It's obviously very happy...
But that day, I still cried
I know, I'm not shedding tears for the death of Domi
I was thinking of something else
I thought of my brother
I thought of my sisters-in-law...
My brother is human, so he can't live long
But what about the sisters-in-law?
Demon Race, half Long-Ear Race...
After their brother dies, they will live for hundreds of years
[Will the future really be happy?]
Moreover, I cannot accept the thought that my brother may die before me.
I hope I can die before my brother...
If possible, I hope I can die together with my brother
Or... can we live together for a long, long time... until my sisters-in-law also leave?
So, I asked Orsted
"Extension of life?"
"Hmm... is there any way?"
"It's not impossible. Heaven Continent has a secret treasure there that can change the form of a human being and turn him into Half-Dragon."
"Dragonfolk...?"
"Well, I can live a long time."
"What kind of secret treasure is it?"
Orsted smiled and stretched out his hand into the void
He took out a map and handed it to me
"It's a bottle of blood essence, something refined in ancient times."
"Just... one bottle?"
"Well, just one bottle. This is confirmed information, but I haven't gone to get it."
One bottle...
It's okay, just one bottle
It's better to let my brother live a long life and stay with me forever~
"Can I take advantage of my current strength?"
"It's up to you, but there is no teleportation array over there. It will take some time for you to get there."
I spread out the map and looked at it for a while
It doesn't take long
Possibly...
Three years? Four years?
You can take risks on the road. Think carefully about how to confess your feelings to your brother.
"If you go, look out for some people on the road."
"Hmm? Apostle of the Human-God?"
"You don't have to look for the last apostle. Just pay attention to some famous strong men. I also told you about the actions of those strong men in the last reincarnation. Just pay attention to whether their actions are reasonable."
"I know, I'll pay attention on the way"
At this moment, we arrived at the King Dragon Kingdom
Starting from Holy Country of Millis, it took a total of three years
Including the year I left home... this year is already the fourth year
"Aisha, are you going to go to that Heaven Continent alone tomorrow?"
I nodded and responded Barn
"Well, you can't go there, so we'll go our separate ways tomorrow."
"It's been three years, and I don't have any sense of reality at all."
Polina nodded in agreement
"Because Aisha-sama is too strong~ I have lived too comfortably in the past three years."
Sara also nodded and said
"What Polina said makes sense... We are a little too dependent on Miss Aisha"
I smiled and said to them
"You should also recruit new team members here. Your lineup without a front row is too dangerous. Returning the same way you came will definitely lead to a dead end."
Barn nodded in response
However, he turned around a little abnormally and spoke to Polina and Sara
"You guys get off the carriage first, Aisha and I have something to discuss."
Polina and Sara nodded and got out of the car.
After all, Barn is the team leader. He usually makes jokes but when it comes to business, Sara and Polina are still very obedient.
"What's the matter?"
To my surprise
Barn took out the magic-forbidden scroll and an... advanced magic scroll from his backpack. It looked like it was fire magic.
He activated the Forbidden Scroll in front of my eyes
This kind of scroll is not like a magic circle and cannot completely restrict a powerful magician.
"Barn, what do you mean?"
"Aisha. Greyrat, are you a believer of Human-God? If you are, I will activate this advanced magic, although there is a high probability that it will not kill you."
I still want to ask you...
It's strange to meet him at Holy Country of Millis
The famous adventurer in the Ranoa Kingdom traveled to Holy Country of Millis...
"I'm not, what about you? If you nod, I will pull out my sword and kill you right now."
"I was... Are you really not a believer in Human-God?"
"If you say so, then I was once, when I was very young, maybe... when I was six years old."
"At that time, I was guided by Human-God and almost killed my brother."
Ah, to be precise
I almost killed my brother because I didn't listen to Human-God.
But it's good luck, and we ended up in this situation by accident.
My brother is very happy, and I feel... okay
"Six years old?"
"Well, after that time, I stopped dreaming about Human-God."
I raised my right hand and exposed my wrist, which was wearing the bracelet given by Orsted
"Have you heard of Dragon God Orsted?"
"Of course, Seven Great Powers is second"
"This is what he gave, it can isolate the influence of Human-God"
"I understand..."
Barn put away the scroll a little lonely
What an incomprehensible conversation.
"Aisha, I lied to you before"
"Huh?"
"The other two brothers among the adventurers, and Lodis... died... because I listened to Human-God's words."
I didn't respond, Barn just started talking.
More than ten years ago, a god appeared in his dream
God always gave him advice, and he reaped the benefits
One day, the god appeared again
[Rudeus. Greyrat, Aisha. Greyrat, you can get a lot of benefits by pleasing them]
He did so
Help me and my brother find clues about Zenith's mother
Put me and my brother in the captain's position when we go on adventures together
When we returned to the guild, we promoted our strength, and then called on everyone to help find clues about Zenith's mother.
"Indeed, I have received a lot of benefits, including an increase in adventurer level, prestige, wealth... I have almost everything."
Until my brother left for university
By this time, Barn felt like he was the winner in life
There are brothers, women, fame, and countless wealth.
After my brother and I left the Adventure Guild, Barn didn't see Human-God again for a long time
until one day
The god appears again
[Send a letter to the Adventurer Guild of the Begaritt Continent, where there is information about Rudeus's mother]
Barn was stunned
Why is this god so concerned about Rudeus?
Is he the same as me?
However, this is what Barn thinks
I didn't want to delve into it. After all, he is very happy now.
Send the letter and continue having fun
[There is a commission tomorrow, right? Let your team members...]
Another suggestion, the last suggestion
This is also the suggestion that Barn regrets the most
Two team members died, Lodis also died
My best friend died, Barn I desperately want to dream about that god again every night
He wants to question, want to be angry
But there is no object to vent to.
Barn even wanted to ask his brother, but he didn't
What if it is? So what?
[Am I going to be Rudeus's opponent?]
Such thoughts were in his mind
So, he escaped
Start the so-called [adventure] with new members
But no matter how you travel,
There is always a thorn in his heart
That is Human-God
Barn understands that he is weak and cannot pose a threat to that Human-God
But
I am an example
I used to be a believer
Although I don't know why I was abandoned, but even if I can't threaten Human-God, what about attacking his followers?
After all, that god is so high up there, yet he seems unable to do many things.
He needs believers...Barn confirmed in his heart
So, while traveling around, he began to pay attention to whether anyone knew about Human-God
In other words, it was indeed an accident for Barn to meet me.
And this accident made him want to do something. After all, I am the sister of Rudeus
"So, you know that you can't be my opponent, but you still want to attack me?"
"Yes, if you were really a believer of Human-God, I would be dead if I died, but it seems that you are not."
"Human-God is my enemy"
Barn leaned back, raised his head and exhaled
"Really... Then your brother..."
"Well, they are also enemies. We all want to kill Human-God"
Barn smiled
It's not that I laughed because I heard that my brother and I are enemies of Human-God
his smile
A smile like relief
"Aisha"
"Huh?"
"I wish you and your brother success, I mean it"
"What are you referring to?"
"Whether it's love or battle"
"Success is certain"
"... You were still cute when you were a kid, when you were behind your brother."
"Then you will no longer be my opponent."
"Are you talking nonsense? I'm a pastor!"
Barn and I got off the carriage together
Sara and Polina were chatting on the sidelines.
King Dragon Kingdom It snows all year round
Last time I said I didn't need that robe.
But it doesn't matter
"Miss Aisha! Uncle Barn"
"Aisha Master~stinky bald head"
Barn's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his big hand to hold Polina's head.
"You stinky brat"
"Ahhhh!!"
While they were making a fuss, Sara came to my side
She pulled the corner of my clothes
"Miss Aisha, are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Hmm"
"We... can't we wait here for Miss Aisha? I still want to take risks together..."
"Heaven Continent I'm done with my work over there, it's time for me to go home."
"Hmm... that's right..."
Over the past three years
I still have a very good impression of this adventurer team.
Polite Sara, noisy Polina, heartless Barn
Although Barn does act weird many times, he just confessed to me
"If you go back the same way, you really need to recruit a few more adventurers. I will be sad if you die on the way."
"Got it..."
"Okay, don't be sad. It's not like we won't see you again. I live in the Ranoa Kingdom."
"Yeah... that's right. It's not good for adventurers to say farewell to each other if it's too pretentious."
"Really?"
Beside
Polina and Barn are still messing around
"I'm leaving"
Having said that, I turned around and left.
I didn't listen to the farewells of Polina and Barn behind me.
Heaven Continent
It can be said to be the northernmost point in the world.
The sky here is hovering with a large number of Red Dragon
However, I have the props of Orsted
They are afraid of Orsted breath, none of them dare to fly towards me
After searching for three months at the Heaven Continent, I found the location
Same as Orsted said
There's a monster watching over you
A... mutated dragon
It's a bit similar to Red Dragon, but the chin seems to have been bitten through or something, and it keeps drooling.
All in all, disgusting
"Let me free you"
I drew my sword and walked towards the monster
But, as I said, it seems to really want to be freed
When this dragon saw me, it didn't roar in anger or run away in fear.
Just watch me walking towards it
"Thank you for your hard work..."
Although I don't know what it went through
But, I was gentle once again
Insert the sword into its head
One sword kills
In its arms, it holds a treasure box
I opened the treasure chest, and inside was a bottle of golden... blood.
This should be it
"Do you want to teleport directly back to give your brother a surprise...?"
Just as I was thinking, a teleportation array appeared at my feet.
Huh?
Letter from Orsted?
I picked up the letter, unfolded it, and read the contents
"Hey, it turns out that the last apostle is really not Barn...Geese... I have no impression."
In the letter, Orsted asked me to deal with some strong people who have variables.
Okay~ It just so happens that in recent years, there have indeed been many strong people whose actions were inconsistent with the previous reincarnation.
Before the war starts with my brother, I think I can handle each one~
