Episode 414
130. In the name of the Absolute
“Ah ah…”
Aeonisha, gasping for breath and in pain, reached out to me desperately.
“A child… my children…”
“Yes, here they are.”
When I showed the two children calmly wrapped in cloth, transparent tears filled her eyes.
The young emotions in her eyes were emotion, complexity and relief.
“Are you healthy?”
“okay.”
Since they were not healthy, they were very familiar with Mana from birth.
In time, I took the children from her again.
“Ah…”
Then Aonisha’s expression turned black.
“See you guys later! You are in surgery now.”
At my words, she was silent as if she realized her condition.
Afterwards, I put my finger on the children’s foreheads and lightly breathed mana on them, then handed the two children to Aeria.
“Please wait a moment.”
“yes! Leave it to me!”
With a flushed face, Aria hugged the two children and wandered away.
“Your ears are cute.”
‘Come to think of it, these guys are my nephews.’
I had a strange feeling.
The idea that I wasn’t old enough to see my nephew was all over my head.
However, since this guy’s world had been around for more than 10 years, it could have been natural.
I didn’t ask Eonisha for information about Winni or Baristanya.
If the watcher’s words are true, the three of them won’t be alive here anymore.
In silence, I started the operation again.
The child was born safely, but Eonisha was still in danger.
But the conditions were bad, but not impossible.
He has tried to save people even in a hell worse than this, and has successfully performed surgery even in a more serious situation.
“haha. Can I live?”
In her eyes, I would have looked like an ordinary man.
With a tear-stained face, she reached out with difficulty and took my hand.
“Children… I can’t leave my children alone…”
Seeing her asking for such a difficult job, I expressed a faint admiration for Eonisha’s growing up and the motherhood she had after giving birth to a child.
“Then don’t think about anything else and go to sleep…”
At my words, she didn’t say anything and slowly relaxed her hands.
* * *
The twins, who had burst into tears, seemed to have instinctively recognized their mother’s embrace, and with a warm expression burrowed into her arms and fell asleep soundly.
The resemblance of the three people sleeping soundly, as if to show that they are definitely their real children, made them smile.
Usually, when thinking about the culture of the Tionis continent, it was common for people to be given a name right after they were born, unlike Earth, where names are decided upon when birth is registered.
But I wasn’t qualified to name my two children.
It was the same for others too.
Because there is only one person, Eonisha, who has the right to do so.
Maybe it’s because of the expression of Eonisha, who fell asleep as if fainting but calmly.
The villagers seemed somewhat relieved.
Some were relieved that the child was delivered safely, while
others were surprised that both the child and the mother were saved through an unexpected surgical method.
However,
some looked depressed that the child was born safely.
I couldn’t even think of a reason.
At first, they were desperate people.
They were the kind of people who had lost hope to the point where the observer would assert that they were bitter, assuming that the future a newborn child would experience would be disastrous.
It wasn’t that they didn’t understand as much as they were being pushed as they would in the first place.
Instinctively, the thought that there was no going back now prevailed.
“thank you. And I’m sorry. I can only treat my benefactor like this…”
The old man handed me some potatoes with a bitter smile.
“The food situation is not so good, so this is the only thing I can treat.”
On the outside, he was nothing more than a shabby old man.
However, it seemed that he was the head of a high-ranking noble family in the Central Kingdom.
Even though she had already heard once that the world had a bleak future that was completely different from the world she lived in, Aria seemed to feel a sense of distance from the old man’s every word.
“It was an unimaginable world 10 years ago. Although it could not be said to be completely peaceful, the passage of the Continental War Prohibition Act, proposed by the emperor of the Three Empires, stopped frequent wars on the long continent.”
At his words, I was silent.
“But I was unprepared because I had been immersed in peace for so long. Those who were so peaceful and unaware of the danger could not properly cope with the demonic beast that pushed in from the dark.”
“There must have been divisions internally.”
Time was too fast to simply see that humans were overwhelmingly defeated in the Continental War.
The reason was probably because of internal divisions. From
those who want to cling to demons and
those who dream of riches and glory taking advantage of the chaos.
When such people rise up, there is no way to counter the demons who have united with one heart and one mind.
“yes. you’re right. Did you say Davey? You look young, but you really have a deep insight.”
He smiled bitterly.
“Here, there are former nobles, former slaves, and commoners. Aeonisha, whom Davey-sama saved, was once the youngest princess of a small kingdom.”
“is that so.”
I couldn’t reveal the contact between her and me.
“Poor child. Everyone here is like that. I do not trust outsiders easily because I keep the pain.”
He opened his half-closed eyes and cautiously told me about Aeonisha.
War broke out and the empire began to shake. As the empire faltered, it was only natural that the smaller kingdoms falter as well.
The Kingdom of Raun was caught up in the embers of war and perished, and thanks to the arrangements of Queen Lines, who sheltered her daughter, Eonisha escaped the great crisis right away.
However, since she was from a royal family and had never trained physically, how far would she have escaped if she had to run away from the demons?
In the end, seeing the knights torn to death in front of her eyes by being captured by the Demon Tribe patrol, she was greatly shocked and suffered from aphasia.
The one who saved her was none other than the Human Resistance.
A guerrilla corps led by Archduke Catherine Caravela, a fire fox of the Lindis Empire, raided an outpost of demons, and a young commander rescued Aeonisha, who was living a hellish day trapped in a dungeon there.
At the time, at the age of nineteen, a young man from an aristocrat who fell in love with her at first sight brought her to share her warmth and love.
After all his efforts, Eonisha overcame her aphasia and fell in love with the man who poured so much affection for her.
A few years later she bore fruit with the man and had a little life in her belly. It was good until there.
As soon as the child was born, the resistance army was completely destroyed.
Even the owner of the new sword, which was the last hope, was defeated by Nyx, who is said to be the most powerful of the demons, and all hope disappeared.
The man gathered the people of the shelter and sent them out of the fortress at night to help Eonisha escape.
With that, the news was completely cut off.
Whether he was captured or executed was unknown.
All that was left of Eonisha was the two children in her stomach.
[The presence of one of you has made such a difference. Humans died countless times, but aren’t demons also people with families? A lot of young demons died, regardless of gender. Everyone is a precious life, but it’s a pity.]
I quietly closed my eyes at the bitter voice of the observer.
“I don’t think I have the motivation to drive out the demons and find the light again.”
“How is that possible? The only hope has collapsed and now all that is left is to live in hiding like this. Human survivors were scattered. Perhaps most of the humans left now are either enslaved or only a few still holding on to futile hope and resisting.”
At his words, I could sense the gloomy atmosphere that enveloped the entire village.
Survived. To be blessed is to be blessed, but even if you do, the future will not change.
They have now come to the point where they humbly accept the destruction of mankind.
“You appeared in such a yard. The villagers are frankly confused. Because it is also the appearance of a human with enough power to drive out the powerful demons.”
“Do you think I will be your savior?”
He smiled bitterly at my question.
“The only thing that has grown with this age is the discerning eye.”
He spoke calmly and asked quietly.
“You seem to possess great power. You can’t feel anything in your body. Yes I’ve heard of it before. A being that is so overwhelmingly strong that you don’t feel any outward power.”
He spoke softly and smiled bitterly.
“Are you the hope of mankind?”
At his question, I quietly shook my head.
“I do everything myself.”
“Is that so.”
“If you’re a human who waits tirelessly for someone to help, it’s better to perish cleanly.”
He smiled bitterly at the bitter remark.
“I guess so. But I’ve already lost too much to get back on my feet. Isn’t it the reality of the present world that there is not even a support to support it?”
After a moment of silence, he cautiously opened his mouth.
“Even though they have nothing, even if they lose hope, they have not forgotten Eun-won. Is there anything I can help you with?”
At his words, I quietly spread my hand out.
“Someone must have something that looks like this.”
“That’s…”
What I created with mana was a small necklace.
It also has a little unusual-looking jewel at the end.
“One of these villagers will have it. Because it’s pretty important. please hand it over It is the only means of healing the person who came with me.”
He was silent at my words and closed his eyes.
Then he put down the teacup and opened his mouth.
“Hmm, it’s definitely a bit unusual, so I remember it. I’m not sure if it’s the right thing, but please come in and take a look at it.”
“why? Inspiration.”
At the same time, as if she had been waiting outside, a woman with a bow on her back strode in.
“Hehe, forgive the rudeness. Regardless of what Inseok says, he is a good-hearted guy.”
“AC, don’t talk nonsense to outsiders. Young…”
“He says he needs your necklace.”
At his words, the woman’s expression immediately frowned.
“What do you mean?”
Then he glared at me and asked quietly warily.
“You want my necklace?”
“okay.”
“Is this important to you?”
The question, full of caution and doubt, was natural in a way, but I had no intention of explaining the inevitable situation as if someone was aiming for it beyond a simple coincidence.
“Even though it looks like that, it’s a pretty important item.”
At my calm reply, she silently glared at the village chief.
Then he sighed.
“Give it up. Do you want to die as a fool who forgets grace no matter how much you live without it?”
“ah! who said what I just wore it because it was pretty. If you pay off your debt with this, give me something cheap. give it! Didn’t you say you wouldn’t?”
While grumbling, she roughly tore off the necklace from around her neck and handed it to me.
“Sleep. I don’t know what to do with this, but I helped Eonisha, but I can’t even wash my mouth…”
She muttered curtly, and as I was silent without accepting the necklace, she strode over and put the necklace on my hand. .
Then he rolled his hands and turned around.
“But where are you going to use it?”
“It’s the key.”
The only key to enter the old royal palace.
I got up from my seat and looked down at the mysterious necklace and said quietly.
