Chapter 1240 – [Kingdom of the Apes]

While Eden was learning his hydrokinesis ability, there was one more thing to celebrate. Lucius made a contract with the water spirit.

Since this is the center of the sanctuary, there were many spirits, and I was noticed by one of them and made a contract.

“I didn’t know that I would make a contract with the spirits….Thanks to all of you.”

“It’s not because of us, it’s because we like you. We’re the only ones who brought us here.”

“If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have come in the first place. So I have to thank you.”

Eden didn’t make a contract with the water spirit, but it doesn’t mean there is no harvest. In addition to his ice abilities, he also learned the ability to manipulate water.

He later found a reason to meet other spirits. He wonders if Eden will become an avatar if he learns even the land and the wind. Because now he can use water banding and fire banding.

[I’ve taught you how to handle the essence of water, so if you apply it, you’ll be able to heal yourself]

“Oh!!! Healing ability is amazing!!!!”

“Eden will have to learn medical skills separately later.

“What about Dad?”

“My father’s major is anatomy…”

I gained an understanding of the human body by killing and torturing people. Thanks, I don’t know that much about medicine.

If it’s a simple trauma, you can stop the bleeding and breathe, but there is a limit to that, and if it’s a disease, it’s hard to diagnose. If you want to do it, you will do it anyway, but it will fall short of the experts.

Eden is also smart, so if he wants to learn, he can become a doctor. He doesn’t know what he thinks of doctors.

[Do you want to learn the master’s circulation theory later?]

“There’s no point in learning that for Eden. It won’t help much because he’s an Awakener with the ability to transform.”

There is only one person that Keter can call a master. Nature Road Ryujin, the natural son of the Absolute of Nature and the son of the Absolute of Creation.

The circulation theory he invented as a transcendentalist is a technology that shows the energy efficiency that is possible while realizing the principle of Mother Nature and applying it to himself. Think of it as a passive skill.

If you use the power of 10, you can recover the power of 9, so it’s good to learn because the more you go into a long battle, the more you fight, but I have an infinity force core, and I can’t learn it unless I’m a genius.

Even though Eden is smart, he has the ability to transform, so he is not particularly weak. If he has infinite energy, he doesn’t have to worry about energy efficiency.

“No, if our Eden thinks about fuel efficiency, it might be better to learn”

“What?”

“Nothing”

After that, we prepared to go back. I got the essence of water, and all that was left was to go back and heal King Caesar. Although we didn’t talk for a long time, Yessto also said goodbye to a friend he hadn’t seen in a while.

[Then see you sometime next time]

[Okay. Ah, if you are going to meet Adreas and Fulstead, please say hello instead of me]

[If that’s the case, wouldn’t it have been better for you to sign a contract with Eden?]

[It’s a personal preference]

Seeing that he refused the contract, you can see that he was lucky to have signed with Yes Restaurant before. There are spirits who refuse like that, but they willingly signed a contract.

Anyway, the way back was helped by the water spirits. Once on board, the seawater takes care of itself and lifts us up to sea level.

“But what was King Caesar injured?”

“Ah, now that you say that, it feels like a chain quest.”

Now that I think about it, I was so focused on that side that I couldn’t think of why King Caesar was hurt. He is the strongest Tarzan in the kingdom of Aif, and he must be strong enough to survive alone after going with the elite of the kingdom.

What could hurt someone like that? I don’t think it’s like a war here. If that was the case, I wouldn’t have done anything in the first place.

When you wake up after being treated, you will be able to hear the story. I wonder what happened.

With strange expectations, we return to Aif Kingdom again.

You will soon be able to hear the hidden story.

*          *    *

We gave the essence of the water we brought to Prince Valerius. Rejoiced, he took it and went straight to King Caesar, who was lying in bed.

We expected something like a slight betrayal, but our expectations were wrong. Prince Valerius was a filial son who thought of his father normally.

Taking the essence of the water, King Caesar quickly recovered his body. And two days later, he regained his consciousness and was able to wake up.

“Father!!!!!”

“……It looks like I made you worry.”

King Caesar looked quite old, but he was strong. He looks a bit thin now that he has just regained consciousness, but he is nonetheless proud of his massive stature, which makes one wonder if he is a gorilla among apes.

Hey, I can see why Tarzan is the strongest in the country. Even if you just give it strength and hit it, a decent guy will wander between life and death.

In addition, the affinity with the water spirit is considerable. There were only four walls around me like Eden or Keter, so it was difficult to compare, but at least there was no one I had a better affinity with than him among the people I saw during my travels in the kingdom of Aif.

The king of the Kartsi kingdom wasn’t even like that……..Is the king a martial artist?

“These are…”

“They are the owner of the sanctuary, Yesto, who brought the essence of water to heal my father, the contractor, and his companions.”

“Ah, yes. I’ve heard of it before, but I never thought I’d be able to see you like this…… Please forgive the rudeness of greeting me from the hospital bed.”

“No. If you are sick, you should lie down. I hope you get well soon.”

King Caesar’s gaze seemed to be searching for us. Rather than simple interest, I felt something different.

Eventually, the search was over, and King Caesar decided to set up a place to talk quietly.

“Valerius. Leave for a while. I have something to say with these people.”

“Father?”

“It’ll take a while.”

“…….All right”

And he also saw Lucius, who was in our group. Seeing that he wants to send it out, it seems that the other Aifs are talking about something they shouldn’t hear.

“Will you step aside for a moment too? I’m sorry, you are a citizen of our country, so you shouldn’t even hear about it.”

“Yes, I understand, Your Highness”

Lucius bowed his head and moved away.

We are the only ones left in this room now. To be precise, it was only us, people from a different dimension than King Caesar.

And when the seat was made, he looked at me and Eden.

“You two seem to be human.”

“Are you aware of the existence of humans?”

“Of course. And I know what kind of person he is and what he did.”

[Hmm]

For the first time, we met someone who was familiar with humans here.

Cornelius, who was called a scholar, only knew about the existence of humans, but he did not know the details. Knowing what humans did and how they perished is a fact close to taboo in this era.

In this world, the only ones who know that are the spirits, and only the high-ranking spirits. He cannot know by ordinary means.

“How did you know that?”

“It all started when a certain scholar discovered the existence of humans.”

“……Could that scholar be Cornelius?”

“Do you know him?”

“The kid who just left is his son”

“Such a coincidence…”

I don’t know if this is a coincidence or inevitable. If it was inevitable, the absolute of fate would be watching.

In any case, he learned of the existence of humans and conducted separate investigations in relation to them. Since it was led by the king, the result was more fruitful than a single scholar’s research.

But the truth was cruel. Because they are the descendants of human-made test subjects, and this world was created when humans were swept away.

“That wasn’t the point. No matter who humans were and what they did, it was the past and we live in the present.”

“That’s a good idea. You can’t get caught up in the past and ruin the present and the future.”

The past is the past and the present is the present. Whatever changes in the past, it is the person who lives in the present.

“However… After recognizing the existence of humans with certainty, I was able to clearly understand the meaning of the secret message passed on to the royal family.”

“Anecdote?”

“That’s right. It’s a secret story written on something so old that even the cloth made of that strong silken thread is frayed… It says this.”

-Evidence of the sins left by beings who bought the wrath of nature is in the ground. It will destroy the world once more.

When I heard that, I understood the whole situation.

A being that incurs the wrath of nature. That means human If so, I wonder what the evidence of sin means, but it was a simple inference.

Humans here went to war and Gaia got angry and destroyed them. If so, the proof of their crime must be a weapon.

It wouldn’t be an ordinary weapon either. If it was a simple firearm, there’s no way King Caesar would end up like that… Uh, wait.

Somehow I don’t feel very good. No way?

“After some research, I found the ruins, and later secretly excavated them. And it’s time to start exploring the ruins in earnest. So I entered the ruins with the elite of the kingdom.”

“Why did you come in?”

“Because I thought we had to get rid of the evidence of that sin. A weapon like that would cause problems if left alone, and if something goes wrong, it could cause great damage as well. So the surest way is to deal with it.”

“How were you going to deal with it? No one would be able to deal with them now.”

“After excavating, I was going to take it to the sanctuary and ask the spirits. I thought that the spirits who punished humans a long time ago would be able to take care of what they left behind.”

His words are right.

I don’t know if it’s a suitable weapon, but if it’s a weapon that’s powerful enough to record that it will destroy the world once again, it’s not at the level of mutually assured destruction, but just to die.

It’s a weapon that kills you if you explode it, but it’s useless unless you’re thinking of self-destructing. And having such a weapon is always the seed of conflict, so it’s worse than not having one.

He made the right decision as a king. But if he made a mistake, it was that he failed to achieve his goal.

“After entering there, I and the elites of the kingdom were able to enter the depths of the ruins in earnest. But after a while, they were poisoned and collapsed one by one.”

“That…….”

I don’t think it’s poison.

It seems that the weapon storage room called the ruins was a nuclear weapon. So, they were exposed to radiation from there.

If it was simple poison, how could he have survived with the power of the water spirit, but there was no way he could do anything about radiation. In a way, radiation was like a physical attack in a very small unit.

It’s good to think that an incredibly small bullet crushes cells. So it wouldn’t have been possible to treat the disease and try to recover.

“In the end, we had no choice but to retreat. In the midst of that, we barely survived alone… As far as we know what happened after that.”

“You worked hard. I think that the act of moving for peace should be respected no matter what the result.”

The king of a country went in and tried to deal with it himself.

There must have been a reason to keep the secret, but if he really wanted nuclear weapons, he would have to replace people and somehow get nuclear weapons. If you are a king, there are many ways to do that.

Nevertheless, he entered such a dangerous place himself. Even though he failed, that pride was not tarnished.

“So I have a request.”

“Are you talking to us? And that request is probably…”

“What you think is correct. I would like to ask you to excavate the ruins. In particular, if there are weapons left by humans there, please get rid of them.”

“Hmm”

I want to take it personally. This world is a world created by pure animals after being destroyed once. Even if the law of the law of the jungle remains, human malice must not remain.

And if such nuclear bombs or nuclear materials remain, they can be contaminated with radioactivity to such an extent that a country can no longer use them. So it’s good to deal with it.

“But why do you ask us for that? As you asked earlier, we are human beings.”

“If I were a simple human, I wouldn’t have asked for that. But, isn’t the owner of the sanctuary by your side?”

“Ah”

“I think it would be different if the owner of the sanctuary approved it. So I believe it.”

A spirit that destroyed humans would never have forgiven humans who are still alive today.

Young spirits who do not know the existence of humans may not know, but the owners of the sanctuary or high-ranking spirits will come to kill them. Yesto also knew that Eden was not a human here, so he came out amicably and even made a contract.

[Well, they are definitely good people. Always make delicious rice]

“Hey, am I Hung? Always cook for me”

Anyway, just to say the conclusion, I will accept the request. It’s related anyway, so you have to completely process it so that the aftertaste is clear.

But that’s it and the reward is something else. You work, you get paid for what you do.

“Okay. We will explore the ruins and dispose of all the remnants of the past.

“Thank you, thank you very much…”

“By the way, I’d like to discuss the compensation afterward. Furthermore, we have already obtained the essence of water for Your Highness.”

“Ah, you have suffered. So, do you have any wishes?

“I want to match the clothes dyed with Tire snails”

“I can’t do anything like that for the benefactor of the kingdom. It might take some time to make, but I’ll make you one set of clothes to wear. Promise me.”

It was okay because I even received the king’s confirmation. With that level of personality, she dared to lie in front of us.

All that was left was to explore the ruins and dispose of the remaining nuclear weapons.

“Shion will like it”

“No, Dad. It’s nuclear material that’s been around for a long time, so you might not eat it because it’s past its expiration date.”

“Is there such a thing as an expiration date for radioactivity? I don’t know if it’s a half-life.”

Does radioactivity really have an expiration date?

I don’t know because I’m not Hanon.
