85. Blue tone. (1)

“…… Are you going to see the sirens?”

“Yes. I’m sorry for saying this as soon as I woke up. …… I think you need to get ready after you’ve gathered up, Ciela.”

“No. I’m just a little surprised…… It’s not that she didn’t like it. That’s right, I’m the Bocchan’s maid.”

Siren.

Half-man, half-fish.

A beautiful race with strong magical powers, similar to the mermaids in the legends of the world before possession.

In a way, they are a race similar to beastmen.

Do you group the eagle beastman, lion beastman, rabbit beastman, etc. Together and roughly classify them as ‘prisoners’?

In a way, they might even be called prisoners.

There is one reason why such a siren is called a race name, not a beast.

Compared to ordinary beastmen, the population of one species is large.

Because they hid their cities themselves, they are a difficult race to meet.

It is difficult to meet even once in life is a species called a siren.

A mysterious existence that cannot be met is a way to stimulate curiosity.

And that’s why there were a lot of rumors related to Siren…….

“Siren. When you hear the song, you are mesmerized. …… It was dangerous.”

“Yes. Just like that.”

Lin says that with a serious face.

A siren’s song contains deadly magic.

If you listen to their singing on the shore, you will be unknowingly enchanted and drown in the sea…….

Various rumors about a very representative siren.

If a real siren heard it, wouldn’t it be unfair?

Of course, the authenticity has not been confirmed.

Because I don’t have that kind of power in the first place, and I don’t hate humans enough to do such a thing.

“In the first place, it’s also a rumor that few people seriously believe in.”

Lucia added affirmatively to my words.

Well, in fact, the Siren themselves are a race that hides themselves thoroughly enough to be discovered only once every few decades.

In fact, it’s no different from being in a legend. I can’t help but spread such nonsense.

There are not many fools who sincerely believe such gossip.

“That is nonsense. Common sense that sirens are dangerous…….”

…… No. Correction.

Looks like there was one here. Such a fool

“Anyway, aside from that. …… So, how do you plan to meet Siren, Cale?”

Leave behind Rin, who keeps insisting that the Siren are dangerous.

It was Lucia who asked that question.

And it was a fairly obvious question.

As said, the siren is a race that may or may not show her face once every few decades.

Because it’s not easy to meet them in a normal way.

A race that does not interact with the outside world and lives on its own in the sea.

It is clear that their city is deep in the sea.

Their city does not stay in one place, but moves under the sea every few years.

There is a reason why they are a race that cannot be easily found even if they come directly from the Empire.

From noble mtl dot com

There’s no way I can be sharp.

If only I hadn’t had memories before returning.

“If you cast wide-area magic on the sea near the continent, you might be able to find it in a few years… ….”

“…… What are you talking about now?”

Lucia made a scary noise while I was taking a break.

Hearing that, I hurriedly restrained my opinion.

A high-ranking mage’s wide-area magic.

That’s the magic of Lucia, who is now in the 8th circle and will soon be in the 9th circle.

Surely, if you grind in the sea, you will be able to come across them someday. It was obvious, but…….

“I’m not looking for a war with the Sirens right now. That is, in effect, a declaration of war.”

That’s how it works.

In the first place, we are in a position to ask for their cooperation.

One of the few remaining sub-species. Sirens.

I honestly doubt that they know of a ‘mechanical device’ that must have been made thousands of years ago.

At least, that way is several times more likely than finding information on the human side.

The history written by the remaining human beings is at least about a thousand years ago, when the empire was founded.

Because there were too many stories related to the ancient gods in the history books before that, they were retrieved and burned by the ancient royal family.

In the end, it is said that it is an unknown story now.

However, sirens have a longer average lifespan than humans.

Because it was the ‘Age of the Gods’ before the Millennium Empire was established, the Siren race had been in existence since long before that.

And knowing that…… Butler Albert must have also recommended finding the siren.

Now, back to our topic.

Then how to find the sirens——would be the problem.

In fact, the problem can be solved with ridiculous ease.

“There are quite a few races called sirens. To the extent that they made the city themselves. I’d say it’s at least a few thousand to tens of thousands.”

I haven’t actually checked. I guess it will be about that much.

Even if there are only 5 people, there will always be people with different thoughts.

If that’s the case, if it’s not 5 people, but 50, 500, or 50,000 people.

Did they all have the same thoughts?

For at least a thousand years.

In their own city deep in the sea, the choice to stay without going outside.

Obviously safe, but equally boring at the same time.

“…… Are you saying that there will be sirens who have left the underwater city?”

“Not exactly that much. There are sirens who often leave the city and go outside.”

This is not speculation, it is certainty.

Unfortunately, in the previous episode, I didn’t get a chance to see him in person.

I heard that there were sirens who left the city and wandered outside.

I’ve heard a little bit about how you look.

I know roughly what I am doing now.

“Blueton, a city of maritime trade. First, I will go there.”

A city called the second capital of the Duchy of Briseton.

Maritime trade city blue tone.

First of all, you have to go to the sea to catch fish.

* * *

Tuong!

A haggard-eyed man with blond hair and golden eyes.

Evan Beatus, the first prince of the imperial family, nervously threw away the object he was holding.

Degur.

Something that rolls on the floor.

If anyone had seen that scene, they would have been horrified.

An item Evan threw away carelessly.

Because it was a sacred object with a clear ‘divine’ dwelling in it.

“…… Prince. Are you okay?”

Evan stopped him by raising one hand as he approached, asking if he was okay.

The imperial family manages the holy relic.

It is their job to ensure that no one can touch or use the relic.

However, the heart of the empire.

Only a handful of blood relatives of the imperial family had the right to use the holy relic.

In fact, to be more precise, there would be no human except for them who could use the holy relics in this place.

The ones in this place are “Sacred objects,” In other words, relics with considerable power remaining.

The holy relic, which retains much of its divinity, does not grant power to those who are not its believers.

Although there were occasional special cases in which he lends his strength because his personality is matched, such as ‘a false god’.

There are very few relics like that.

However, the royal family was different.

Thousand-year imperial lineage.

As for the imperial family that succeeded it, they were able to ignore some of the restrictions and draw on the power of the ancient gods.

“Whoa. I guess I will live a little now.”

Kwajik.

Muttering that, Evan approached the holy object rolling on the floor and trampled it with his shoe.

The holy relic wasn’t cracked to this extent, though.

Because it seemed like that was the only way to get rid of my anger.

“…… Dare to say, to an inferior subject that can no longer be called a god. You’re giving me trouble like this.”

Kwaaak.

Evan, who had been stepping on it for a long time, took his foot off.

I sat down on the chair provided.

“You devils. At first, I was looking to catch and kill them, but…….”

The demons that attacked the capital.

They dared to raid the capital, smashed the holy relics, and left the capital.

And with that, the imperial family had no choice but to bear an indelible stigma.

In the final match of Mutuje, one of them ran away.

The winner of the Mutujae returned the holy relic as if he didn’t even need it.

It’s not enough that the holy relic was stolen once by the devil.

They even destroyed it on the spot and left. Because he had to go through such humiliation.

…… Dare.

To those inferior to the insignificant worm, dare.

I personally used the holy relic to catch and kill those demons.

“…… I saw more fun than I thought.”

The corners of Evan’s mouth twisted upward as he said that.

It seems that the bad mood was only for a while.

A grotesquely created, spontaneously goosebumps laugh.

The minister, who did not change his expression even with that, asked,

“…… What did you see?”

The name of the holy object that was in Evan’s hand until just now was Foresate.

It was a sacred object of the god of the future.

In other words. The story that Evan, who used it, saw the future.

I can’t confirm until the very distant future. It hurts to say that that alone is a fraudulent effect.

“I saw the Resurrection. …… Resurrection of ‘catastrophe’.”

Five Plagues.

The main enemy of the empire that has been fighting for a thousand years.

An immortal demon worshiped by demons, monsters who have slaughtered countless humans.

A monster that cannot be matched with human power.

Humanity has been on the brink of extinction many times by them.

I was brutally and irrevocably slaughtered several times.

However, Evan’s tone of voice was dry.

At least, in that tone.

There was no sense of hostility or threat to the disaster that should have been there.

Catastrophe.

What ‘it’ raises its head again is a small country that is no different from a subordinate state of an empire.

A maritime trading city in the Principality of Briseyton.

“In the near future. In ‘Blue Tone’, a disaster in an incomplete form is resurrected.”

“That… ….”

As the future shown by the Future God’s Relic is erratic and arbitrary, it is not easy to obtain the desired information.

One thing is certain.

The future seen through the holy relic will ‘certainly’ happen.

The one who saw the future…… Unless you want to change it yourself.

And.

“…… That’s great. We can benefit from diplomatic relations with Briseyton.”

“Good timing. I can properly look outward.”

For Evan, he had no intention of changing the future he saw.
