26 – Revival-9

The Farseer stopped all of the research and experiments that were in progress without a break. Instead, she spent her free time rummaging through her memories.

It wasn’t easy. The time we spent together on adventures was quite long, and there were many occasions when I spoke to him, albeit briefly.

What she had done to him was so obvious and cruel that there was no need to extract more information from it.

Insults and contempt, commands and coercion.

She had rarely observed his expression properly, but her magically preserved vision captured it vividly.

As she watched the weariness and anger, resignation and sighing on his face, she felt a surge of disgust at her former self.

“More… I have to hand it over.”

It was painful and boring to watch myself repeat the same mistake over and over again. Farseer turned time back and again.

Little by little, his face brightened. His expression, which had been empty and worn, was slowly filling with faith and passion, kindness and love.

He, who staggered and followed orders without emotion, is considerate of others with a bright appearance. Worried that those fighting might not get hurt, and sincerely welcomes them back after the battle.

As time goes back.

“under…”

Farseer, who had been searching for memories without a soul, came to see the memories of one night right in front of his eyes.

I forgot.

You shouldn’t see this. Farseer can’t stand it the moment he sees this.

I can’t keep my cool In order to protect the world, she cannot act to fulfill her long-cherished wish. Just, emotions will devour her and act like her.

But she didn’t have the strength to move. The vertically stretched surface of the water showed the memory regardless of her will.

“Oh, you’re awake? It saved me the trouble of waking you up. I’ll praise you.”

The sound of footsteps coming from the tent made Farseer laugh.

“I don’t think I slept well. If you wake up so violently, you’ll have nightmares in your sleep.”

The porter grumbled, but he didn’t hate her yet.

“What can I do? I can’t wake you up with this little body. I have no choice but to rely on the power of magic.”

“I admit it.”

“In the first place, when the saintess wakes up, she wakes up after a few words. It’s not like they discriminate against people. What the hell is that?”

“What if it happens?”

“Yes. Well, there is only one or two things in the world that can’t be helped.”

The wizard tapped the rock on which she was sitting.

“Sit down. I have a little time left, so if you go in first because you woke up early, the hero will stand up and shout.”

As if collapsing, he sat down beside the wizard.

“Are you sleepy already? Your head is falling.”

“I just woke up, so I can’t help it…”

“Let’s talk about it. I’m used to meditation and solitude, but I’m not familiar with surveillance… I’m bored. Well, how are you doing these days?”

Being alone wasn’t boring.

It was like a mage’s daily life to sit still and explore magic or formulate hypotheses about magic.

However, it was extremely cumbersome and tedious for Farseer to maintain the magic surveillance network against an unknown enemy who might or might not come.

“Doesn’t the wizard know everything?

“Isn’t it because you chose to follow us? There’s nothing you can do but hold on.”

The porter smiled bitterly.

“Well, in hindsight, that’s true, but… Come to think of it, why the hell did the wizard come here?”

“To obtain magic materials and to control the danger of the demon lord. It’s not a good grade to join a warrior’s party at this age, but if it’s for my wish, I can do it.”

“A wish, um. Is it okay for me to hear it?”

The wizard was lost in thought for a moment.

“It’s not like it’s a secret, but I’m not the type to talk about it first. But if it’s you, I think you’ll have a pretty funny reaction. Okay. I’ll let you know.”

She raised her hand and pointed to a star in the sky.

“Look at that.”

“It’s a star.”

“Yes, it lives forever. I look up at the sky from time to time, but I never see it disappear.”

The wizard looked up at the sky and looked as bright as a girl of that age.

“The stars I see now will still be there after a thousand years, and they will probably remain on records from a thousand years ago.”

“Unexpectedly… romantic.”

“But don’t you think it’s cruel? Stars live forever, but humans die.”

Her emotions escalated, and the mana around her shook.

“When a murderer kills ten people, the village shakes. People shudder in fear.

From the porter’s point of view, she was not a person who valued human life.

However, that is half right and half wrong. There were already too many victims in her fight, and too many deaths still to come, that only one life could not be cherished.

“However, even though that man called time kills thousands, tens of thousands, and hundreds of millions of people, he brazenly insists that it is ‘law of nature’ and takes his share.”

For the first time, the porter learned what a wizard looks like when angry.

Even when the hero shuddered at the brutal atrocities of the demon king’s army, she laughed and said, ‘They’re always like that, can’t it be helped?’

It was she who said, ‘With this power, you can easily get rid of the demon king just by following the law.’ They were petty petty criminals compared to her real enemies.

“I will conquer death.”

The porter was silent for a moment, looking back and forth between her face and her clenched fists. While pondering the wizard’s declaration, he threw a question that suddenly came to mind.

“By the way, haven’t you already achieved it?”

“What, how much for me?”

She had already lived hundreds of years. The courier didn’t know much about magic, but I couldn’t believe she was simply hiding her aging or moving by creating a skeletal monster like a lich.

She hasn’t lived noticeably longer than an elf, but somehow she has overcome her aging.

“But what’s the point of living alone forever? I. I’m going to save everyone with this.”

“…yes?”

“This body is a kind of prototype. It costs too much, and I don’t know what side effects it might have when applied to other people.”

There are many wizards who learn magic with dreams. Learning magic is hard work, and if you have a status enough to learn magic, you can usually live without learning magic.

So, in order to hope for some desperate miracle, there are countless people who learn magic to make the impossible come true.

but they give up The barriers of time and ability are coming before their eyes.

An ordinary person who does not know anything ‘I want to learn magic and make it rain’. It’s easy to say the same thing, but as he learns magic, he realizes how much mana, sacrifices, time and effort are spent on it.

But she didn’t give up. Had it been said by a clumsy person, it would have been dismissed as the delusion of someone who does not even know what magic is, but she proved that it was not a delusion with her eternal life.

“Humans are stronger than death. I will prove this with my magic.”

One cannot deny the death itself. However, it shouldn’t be a trivial reason like ‘he was born too long ago to live’, not a human will or a giant demon dragon.

It may take hundreds of years to apply her magic to one person again. It may take hundreds of years to apply it to another person again.

And it may take another few hundred years to sublimate it into a theory that can be applied to everyone.

It may take thousands of years to create a process that is efficient enough for everyone and to gather the materials.

But she won’t give up.

“So, how do you feel?”

Excitedly pouring out his emotions, Farseer looked forward to what kind of creative curses and curses he would utter.

No one who listened to her took this plan positively.

Bogus was the sweetest accusation she could hear.

The priests frothed, saying that it was against God’s will, and the elves were angry, saying that they were denying the lifespan bestowed by nature.

Other than that, there were also those in power who compared her to the evil warlocks left in the history books, or begged to cast that spell on only them.

All were ugly and disgusting.

“Well, that’s fine. I hope you do well.”

“I knew it! You foolish… what?”

It is said that he came from a foreign country, and he showed different values from others. I’d be lying if I said Farseer didn’t have any expectations.

However, at the tone that he spat out as if it was not a big deal, Farseer naturally assumed that he would laugh at her dream as well.

“awesome.”

He affirmed her dream.

That day, Farseer thought for the first time that his understanding had appeared.

If there is a god, he thought that he had given him to him through this adventure. He was a magician who had never believed in God, but at this moment, he believed in the providence of the goddess.

So, I thought.
