111 Ancient Language

The flying demons soon arrived in front of Frondier.

With Arald.

Everyone had very proud faces.

“….”

Frondier looked at them all with cold eyes.

I felt more miserable than when I was cursed with sloth.

Frondier looked around and asked Arald.

“So all the empire’s demons have gathered?”

“yes. “Everyone is here except Hitchcock’s leadership.”

“So you’re saying there are no hidden devils in the empire?”

“of course. “It’s all here.”

The demons that still remained in the Empire. These were issues that Frontier had not yet resolved.

He discovered that there were demons hiding in the empire, made them his subordinates, and even prevented the advance of demons from the west, but he could not decide what to do with them.

‘So this situation is good for me and the empire.’

It’s good for the Empire because the threat of demons lurking somewhere has disappeared, and it’s an opportunity for demons to finally escape the empire, where it was difficult to live in hiding.

Most people here probably heard Arald’s words and followed suit.

It was a good thing because Frontier also thought that they should go to the land where they were supposed to be.

It is not impossible to understand why Arald moved like this.

It’s not that I don’t understand.

“Arald. “Let’s make it clear right now.”

“What is it?”

“I have no intention of becoming the king of demons.”

The keyword ‘King of Demons’ originally came from the process in which Frondier asked Arald to find the devil hidden in the empire.

The demons of the Empire need a leader, and Frondier has clearly become that leader.

However, the ‘king of demons’ that Arald wants will not be like that.

“I am human. Being the king of demons is, of course, what a demon would do. “I agree that there needs to be a balance between devils and gods, but there’s no reason for me to do it.”

“Of course it is.”

Arald nodded. And he asked with a calm smile.

“You will not forgive Satan and Odin.”

At those words, Frondier paused for a moment.

But soon a smile appeared on his face.

“──Of course.”

“Then it is done. I have no intention of forcing Frondier to become the king of demons. “It was just a request.”

Arald’s words seem to retreat without regret.

But at the same time, Frondier felt as if Arald was saying this with his eyes.

‘In the end, what I say will happen.’

“And Elodie.”

Frondier turned and looked at Elodie.

Elodie, who had been watching silently, tilted her head.

“You know, but there’s no turning back now. “You’ve come this far, so prepare yourself.”

“Constel has already done that.”

Elodie nodded and stuck out her tongue.

From Constell. As expected, this is what Elodie was ‘thinking’ about at that time. Maybe Elodie would have been here no matter what happened.

Frondier sighed.

“If this happens, one problem remains.”

“A problem? “Are you in trouble because I’m here?”

“The problem is not that you are here, but that you are not in the empire.”

“huh?”

Elodie tilts her head.

At that time, Frontier felt a presence and turned his head.

“Probably by now if it were him.”

As if the timing was measured.

Faaah!

Someone appeared from the shadows of Frontier.

Elodie and Lili naturally expected Selena to show up, but it was only the two of them who showed up.

One was Selena, as they expected, and the other.

“hi.”

An indifferent voice. Facial expressions and movements that suit him.

A child of unknown gender calmly waving to Frondier.

“…may!”

Elodie shouted in surprise.

yes. I forgot. May was originally cared for by Elodie and Frondier in the cabin.

With the two of them leaving the empire, they couldn’t even think about what to do with Mei.

“I wasn’t worried because I thought you would remain in the empire.”

“…I see. Sorry May. “Stop worrying about your head.”

May tilts her head at Elodie’s words.

“You don’t have to be sorry. “Because we’ve been together all this time.”

After saying that, May looked at Frontier.

“And I’m tired of the cabin.”

“…I guess so.”

“I read all the books you sent me. “Take me too.”

Frontier hesitated for a moment.

For a moment, I couldn’t decide if it was right to take May.

Mei learns everything she sees at high speed. Originally, the plan was to have Constel learn slowly, but now that Frondier has left the empire, it is up to Mei to learn from Constel on her own.

“Frondier. “You told me to observe a lot of things.”

“…!”

“When I imitated and learned so many things that I became the kind of ‘disaster’ that people were really afraid of.”

May doesn’t lie.

Your future self, who has become powerful through high-speed learning, will not become an enemy of humans. I don’t make such assertions.

Because he doesn’t know what will happen to him either.

“You are the only one who can control me. Frontier.”

That’s why May wants to stay by my side.

“And with Elodie.”

It would have been cool enough even if I hadn’t said that one word.

“Hehe. yes.”

Elodie, who was listening from the side, stroked May’s hair.

I saw Selena emerge from the shadows as well.

“Thank you for coming. “Selena.”

“It’s natural.”

Selena smiles calmly and bows.

Looking at her, I asked her what bothered her.

“…What was the situation in the square?”

Before coming here, Selena was a member of the Roach family and was next to Malia in the square. Of course, the people of Roach knew that Selena would follow in my footsteps.

Selena said with a face that made it difficult to speak.

“…I think it went very well, as Master Ospreet and His Majesty intended.”

“…in other words.”

“yes. Elodie was possessed and kidnapped by a demon called Frondier. Frondier succeeded in escaping with Lili, and the demons that Frondier had hidden in the empire flew out all at once to find the right time and headed to Cape Man… That’s roughly the story.”

“The imperial palace knights and nobles must be running this way right now.”

“yes. However, it seems difficult to chase after us who arrived immediately using space magic. There is no way Ospreet can help.”

“But there are quite a few people who use flying magic.”

Elodie, who was next to me, said.

“What happens if you use flight magic? “As an individual, there is nothing I can do even if I come here.”

“ah.”

Frondier is mistaken in thinking that his own strength is the standard, but only a very small number of Ilshin’s powers are so strong.

It is certain that there are demons worth more than three digits, including Frondier and Lili Elodi.

Those who can use flight magic are usually wizards, and even if they fly straight away, they don’t have the power to handle it.

Lily thought for a moment and said.

“It took four days for the army to be summoned and charge here… You could say the empire was running at top speed.”

Frondier nodded.

“Then we can look around more carefully.”

His gaze turned to Mangot.

This is where the imperial knights and scholars began investigating after defeating Belphegor.

The root of ‘Menosorpo’, which Mangot devoted his entire life to research and which is the basis of Frontier’s current power.

Ancient language.

“Let’s see what it says.”

* * *

Arald and the demons were resting outside in a suitable place.

To put it bluntly, I didn’t have the slightest interest in ancient languages. To begin with, it seemed like they had no idea of the existence of ancient languages.

‘It seems clear that it is a human language, both from the setting and the fact that it was written by King Arthur.’

Frondier walked around Cape Bay, thinking. Elodie and Riri Selena May were also there.

Since the imperial research team had already visited, there was no inconvenience in moving around. Because it was a place for continuous research, the lighting was perfect.

In the first place, most of the devices from Mangot that were previously studied were reused.

“But can you really interpret ancient languages?”

Elodie asked from next to me.

It was Selena who answered.

“of course. “He used to teach me ancient languages too.”

“…Selena looks proud.”

“Furthermore, he was able to perfectly distinguish between the core parts and the non-core parts, and with that, he drew the attention of Mangot while also planning to use them—” Selena

talked enthusiastically about Frondier’s abilities as if it just happened to work out well. He was going to keep talking forever if no one stopped him.

Of course, it was Frontier who stopped it.

“I can’t read everything.”

“yes?”

“huh? Is that it?”

Elodie just asked back, but Selena was shocked.

I thought Frontier’s interpretation skills were perfect. Wasn’t that why Hagley approached him and valued his abilities and raised the ransom?

“Well, Hagley probably knew from the beginning.”

Frondier continued walking and pointed to a wall.

“For example, that one.”

There was a short word written there.

Although no one could read it, Selena was familiar with the shape of the letters.

“…It’s an ancient language. As expected, Mangot studied the ancient language written here.”

“huh. But it is.”

Frondier looked at the words carefully and then tilted his head.

“I can’t read it either. “Something like that.”

“yes?”

“As I said, the ancient language is a language system that stores mana in letters, stores sounds, and creates a combination of letters and sounds. “The half that has lost its voice due to loss of mana cannot even read me.”

Frondier’s ability to interpret ancient languages is not something like divine power or magic, but pure talent.

This is truly the talent of the character ‘Frondier de Roach’.

Therefore, the talent is not magical or mystical. It’s not like you can automatically hear the meaning of an ancient language or trace the past containing mana.

“It has to be longer than this for me to read. “At least it has to be in a sentence.”

“…ah. “That’s a hint.”

Elodie noticed and said. Frontier nodded.

“Plus, there are nuances.”

“Nuance? Oh right. “It was said that sound was contained in mana.”

Frondier’s talent lies in his incredible intuition about language.

Catches sounds that are likely to be included in each symbol, selects the most likely ones, and puts them together. If the meaning is awkward or does not make sense, it is quickly corrected. That repetition.

“So the longer it is, the more helpful it is. I can’t be certain about such short words. “There are several candidates.”

“I’m just curious, so what are the candidates for the word written over there?”

“Well, ‘hungry’, ‘harpoon’, ‘torch’. “I guess it’s like this.”

“…They are really completely different words.”

Besides, it doesn’t matter what’s written.

“If the ancient language was truly a pure language system, there is a high probability that it would contain meaningless words.”

“A language system so complex that it requires the use of mana is used that way? “You just have to write the letters.”

“The most likely thing is to use the volatility of mana. “If they read it first, like we do now, later people won’t be able to understand it.”

“…In other words, they were exposed to the risk of reading their language?”

“If ancient beings really had knowledge they wanted to hide, but they needed to communicate it, they had better use this language system for everything, not just the important things, but even the little things. “That way, the enemy won’t know what’s important.”

If you write only important things in ancient languages, there is a risk of being discovered, no matter how thorough the security system is.

To put it in an analogy, it’s like quest items in a game shining differently from other items.

If you want to hide something important, it should look like any other object. The same goes for knowledge left behind in language.

“I am not interested in the interpretation of each word anyway, and knowledge is not written that way.”

Frondier continued to look around as he walked. It seemed like considerable research had already been done, and there were tables and research materials piled up near the ancient language written on the wall.

“Yes. For example, it should be about that length.”

Frondier found a sentence of a reasonable length and pointed with his hand.

But a good road means he can interpret it, and

Frondier, who naturally interpreted it with his eyes, stopped just as he pointed.

“…Tsk.”

Frondier clicked his tongue.

I’ll be reading a lot of ancient language here soon, but

I wasn’t happy with what I found as the first sentence.

─Ragnarok failed.
