Through a passageway decorated with beautiful sculptures and murals and into the center of the temple, there was a huge, faint, luminous statue alone.
“Kaiyan, this is Lady Pwarrin. A statue modeled after the last goddess by the ancient Pelcarus. ”
“Goddess Pwarrin...”
The goddess held a scale in her right hand with her eyes closed and a strange looking stick in her other hand.
‘… my heart is pounding. ’
Lady Pwarrin beats my heart just by looking at it, even though it's just a statue.
When the unknown emotion rose from within, I slowly walked forward one step without knowing it.
It's overwhelming.
The heart beats crazier as I get closer.
As I tried to reach for the statue, I became more and more dazed.
“Kaiyan?”
Hoslyan reaches out and stops my hand.
“Are you all right? ”
Hoslyan's cry soothes Howling heart as he regains consciousness.
I don't even understand why I just did that.
You shake your head and take a step back to look at the statue, then turn your gaze to Hoslian.
“Yes, I'm fine. Instead... please answer the question you asked me earlier. ”
“Hmm... What should I tell you first... Yes, I'll tell you why Lady Pwarrin is not active. In conclusion, there is no goddess on the continent. ”
“Yes? That means...”
“Literally. There were four gods in ancient times. There are only three gods on the continent, excluding Lady Pwarrin. ”
The real God is gone?
According to the teachings of the Church, God is infinite and almighty. If that were true, would that be possible to disappear?
“… Why? The reason the goddess is gone. ”
“Klael, that's it, of course...”
Gulp.
What the hell did Hodgins say?
I was nervous and sweaty on my forehead.
“I don't know. ”
“Yes?”
“Of course not. Only humans know about God's work. ”
“That's it, but...”
“But I do know one thing. This could be the answer to your question. There are three gods who name the stars in the night sky after Pwarrin. ”
“…. So what you said to remember Pwarrin was the tale of the gods? ”
Hosnian said before entering the temple.
He named the star Pwarrin to remember her.
“The history of the Pelcaru is written like this. Since the word of God fell to the three churches after Lady Pwarrin disappeared, call the light that guides the way from darkness Pwarrin. ”
A light that leads the way from darkness.
It's perfect for Pwarrin, who radiates light from the night sky instead of the sun.
“I see... So the Cult knew about this? That there was another god in the ancient world? ”
“No. I was curious about that when I was on the continent, but they didn't know about it. ”
“A god they believe in, and you forgot about it? That's a little...”
The Church of the Continent is strong enough to turn into a Cultist when something involving its god happens.
Even if it means risking your life.
But no matter how ancient it was, does it make sense to forget God's words?
“Hmm... I guess there's a reason... but I can't tell you that much. ”
“... I won't ask you again if you won't tell me. I have another question instead. ”
If it's Hoslyan I've been talking to for a while, he won't say a word even if I beg him to.
Then it's better to get as much information as he can tell us.
“Why did the Pelcaru perish? ”
“... It's an ancient thing. I didn't know exactly what was going on at the time through the records. Do you still want to know? ”
“Yes.”
“Phew... Many races have lived peacefully together on the continent in the distant past. Humans, Elves, Pelcaroos, Demibeasts, and so on. ”
‘As expected...’
I was guessing a little bit before I asked the question.
Maybe the reason they were destroyed was because they were defeated in the race war that the Lucans told us about.
Hoslian, who doesn't know this, continues to open his mouth.
“And then, 100 years after the disappearance of Lady Pwarrin, Suddenly, monsters invaded various factions' realms across their lands. That's when the peace broke out and the war began. So…”
I was able to listen to him for a few minutes and realize things.
One is that all of Lukan's words were true, and the second is that Lady Pwarrin disappeared 100 years before the Racial War.
“…. And that's what happened. ”
“Hoslyan, so the Pelcaru were finally destroyed because of the humans. ”
“You might think so... but that's the path they've chosen. They had a chance to choose whether to join Humans or Demibeasts. ”
And the last of them that destroyed the Pelcaru were Humans.
According to Hoslyan, the Pelcaru allied with Demibeasts, not Humans, and were eventually defeated by the war and driven to Antigas and destroyed.
‘Putting together what I heard from Lucan and what Hossein said... it's a bit outlined. ’
The Lost God and the War of the Races.
It took me a long time to do all the hard work, but I thought I was good enough to come here.
If I didn't, I'd be living in a hidden history without knowing anything.
“Thank you, I know a lot of information. ”
“Glad you could help. ”
“Hoslyan. Can I ask you one last question? ”
“Hmm? I see. ”
After hearing all the stories, there was one thing I wanted to ask him.
“Does Hoslyan know about the Grand Wizard? ”
The Pelcaru record tells us a lot about you, Hoslyan.
Wouldn't he have some information about him? He's the one who's been involved in all sorts of histories, like the War of the Races and the War of the Barons.
“… who is the Great Wizard you speak of? ”
Hoslyan looked surprised at my question for the first time.
‘Hoslian certainly knows about him. ’
That's the only way to react.
I swallowed the saliva and opened my mouth quietly.
“I'm talking about the Great Wizard who was involved in the War of the Races. ”
“Huh... I'm amazed. How the hell did you know that? ”
“Incidentally... okay. Did you know more about him than that? ”
“I don't know what to call this... Huh... I thought it was unusual to come here... But you're a really strange person. ”
Hoslyan grins, his hands touching his forehead, as if he were really confused.
“Like you said, I know him. ”
“... Is he still alive, then, from the War of the Races?" ”
Elder Elder Elder Elder Elder was certain he was alive.
That's why the Elves have reached the continent and are still stuck in space.
“You'll live. You were fine until we met 50 years ago. ”
“Yes? Have you met him? ”
“Yes. I don't really know. ”
I thought we could get a name, but we even met in person.
Elder Elder Elder Elder Elder Elder and Lucan followed by a third presence associated with him.
“… what is his purpose? ”
“Purpose... I don't know exactly, but that's what everyone calls him. He's a" hero raiser. "I heard there are no sacrifices you would make to raise a hero. ”
“Heroes...”
Lucan said the same thing.
When I asked him why he didn't, he said the world needed a lot of heroes.
“Kaiyan, I don't know how you knew him, but don't get too involved in his work. He's really scared of you. ”
“I know. He's scary growing up. ”
Even the great Elder Elder Elder frightens me.
“But I need to know who he is. ”
According to Lukan, he's the culprit who started the monster invasion and the tribe war.
And suppose a monster wave has happened since then.
‘... He could be the culprit of the monster wave. ’
If tens of thousands of people die every 10 years because of him,
If it's because of him that Bernov burned down my hometown.
‘My real enemy is him. ’
The stories of Elaine, Lucan and Hoslyan are drawn and carved into each head.
The truths that are uncertain, but well enough to be dubious.
You hold the burning poison in your chest and gaze at Hoslyan.
“How can I meet him? And what is his name? ”
“I don't know. I just met him 50 years ago because he came to see me first. And I'm saying this for you... Forget about him. ”
I can feel the sincerity in Hoslyan's eyes.
He was genuinely worried about me for only a few hours.
“Phew...”
You can't turn your back on your emotions in front of him who did me a favor.
You forcibly calm your mind and nod to Hoslyan.
“… I'll think about it. ”
“Good thinking! Then we're done talking. Let's go outside. It's too late. I'll show you a place to rest. ”
“Yes? Oh, yes. ”
“Ah! But you had a party, didn't you? I think I saw a kitten and a bird earlier... I wonder if it was because of me...”
I knew there was a breeze with Rica.
Even Hoslyan, the Error Master, is interested in this.
As I thought of the two, my beating heart quickly calmed down and smiled at my mouth.
“Yes, these are my friends. I sent him to a safe place for a while before the battle with Hoslyan began. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. ”
“Is that so? That's a relief. Then go.”
After patting my shoulders, I walked along Hosnian, leaving the temple.
* * *
Five days since I arrived at the Pelcaru grave.
“Curr...”
“Meow.”
Thanks to the potion that pours generously everyday, Lyca, who was riding on top of the wounded sky turtle, came out and looked at Hosleian with a slight look on her face.
Chaen!
“That's not it! Then you shouldn't have spilled it! ”
A bruised shout that flew in as if it had been spilled by Hoslyan's sword.
“… we're working on it. ”
“Not enough effort! Wield your sword at your own risk! ”
With two spectators in tow, you are desperately wielding your sword against Hoslyan, who wields it vigorously.
What's a little unusual is that both me and Hosnian are facing each other with pure swords without activating them.
‘I didn't think a sword would push us that far... It's worse without the error. ’
My sword is lacking as I share dozens of workshops and hundreds of workshops.
I thought the difference from the error master was just one shot.
Chaen!
“Grrrgh!"
The strong swing of the sword bounces off of Hoslyan's blade, and you have no choice but to put your neck to his blade, which dug a hole in it.
Even if the error has not been activated, I can't believe I'm so easily strangled.
“… I lost. ”
“Your sword is still too shabby. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. ”
HosIean gives a cheeky face as a gift in front of spectators.
But I couldn't argue with him. His sword, which he felt in person, was several times superior to mine.
“Still better than yesterday. That way, you'll be able to make swords in no time. ”
“Thank you for teaching me. Hoslyan.”
After spending a day in the Pelcaru grave, I went to Hoslyan to see if I could go back now. He told me he would give me a sword fight as if I were standing there.
From my point of view, I said yes because I had no reason to refuse a leadership duel from Master Hoslyan.
‘Thanks to you, swordsmanship is stabilizing at a rapid rate. ’
My sword gets more and more shaped every day.
And one more thing.
Whoo-hoo!
An error that rocks hot from the inside, even though the error is not used in the duel.
‘Swordsmashing was the answer I needed to break the wall. ’
At the beginning of the struggle, the growth stopped, and the error began to move again.
Through a passageway decorated with beautiful sculptures and murals and into the center of the temple, there was a huge, faint, luminous statue alone.
“Kaiyan, this is Lady Pwarrin. A statue modeled after the last goddess by the ancient Pelcarus. ”
“Goddess Pwarrin...”

‘… my heart is pounding. ’
Lady Pwarrin beats my heart just by looking at it, even though it's just a statue.
When the unknown emotion rose from within, I slowly walked forward one step without knowing it.
It's overwhelming.
The heart beats crazier as I get closer.
As I tried to reach for the statue, I became more and more dazed.
