#769 Three miracles happened.

* * *

[Why… why did no one know about it?]

After hearing all of that.

Yuna-kyung asked blankly.

The Secret of the Seven Dragons and the Fairy Queen.

That there was an incident like this when the constellations appeared 32 years ago.

If even she, who always followed Limon and met the seven princesses, hadn’t heard this, it would mean that no one in the world knew about it.

[If there was such a fact, more people should have been informed. If so…!]

“The constellations would have appeared sooner or the Fairy Queen would have died.”

[Yes?]

“Do you think it was a coincidence that the constellations appeared when civilization reached its peak, whether it was fairies or dragons?”

To Limon’s heavy words.

Yuna-kyung opened her eyes wide.

[Couldn’t it… mean that the constellations have been monitoring the world since the distant past?]

“It could be that there was a spy at all.”

[A spy? What do the Constellations gain by cooperating in destroying the world!]

“Since there were many people who would be willing to make a contract with the beings who would destroy the world if they gave them wealth and glory.”

[…]

Yuna-kyung was at a loss for words.

No matter how dangerous the Constellation is.

If they come anyway, hundreds and thousands of years later.

This is because I did not dare to assert that there could never be a human being who would sell the future of mankind for today’s glory.

Even in this modern age when the Constellations appeared, there were followers of the Constellation called the Liberation Brigade.

“That would be half true. Most of the collaborators probably didn’t even realize that they had signed a contract with the Constellation.”

“What does that mean… what does that mean?”

“It means that the Constellation didn’t necessarily need an active ally to keep tabs on the world.”

Not like the person who forced Limon to flatter him by putting on the expression of a sad fairy grandma a while ago.

The Fairy Queen spoke calmly.

“I have seen many humans over a long time.”

“Among them, there were many outstanding geniuses from a young age, but there were also many talented people who suddenly stood out astonishingly.”

“These are really strange people, from those who have changed as if people have changed at all, to those who have been strangely lucky.”

hear that

Limon narrowed his eyes.

“All of them were contracted with the Constellation?”

“It may not have been all. They wouldn’t have signed a contract like the players do now.”

“…”

“But there must have been some whose lives have changed dramatically after answering a voice in a dream or making a wish on a star.”

“…That’s their method.”

Limon sighed.

From the golden age to now.

Mystery has always been with mankind.

So, it would be rare for anyone to be afraid of hearing a strange voice or suddenly having a talent.

Rather, he must have been delighted that he had been blessed by God or that his hidden talent had blossomed.

Without knowing that they actually signed a contract with an unknown being and became their eyes and ears.

Maybe there were people who knew and cooperated. If there had been

one in a hundred of the sages, great generals, sages, and great

men in history, even one in a thousand, the Constellation would have been able to find out the development of mankind and all kinds of information.

[Is that why you didn’t tell anyone the truth? Afraid that information will be leaked to the Constellations?]

“Because there are no perfect secrets in the world, and I didn’t know who to trust.”

Even if you were innocent until yesterday, you can come into contact with the Constellation tomorrow, and the records left by someone can spread to the world hundreds of years later.

The Fairy Queen was well aware of that fact.

That’s why he couldn’t make humanity a collaborator even if he cared for and cared for it.

If you make a mistake even once.

If you find out that you are wary of the Constellation.

So, if the constellations come before the Nine Worlds of the Great Star Barrier are discovered or completed.

All the preparations that started when the fairies were destroyed became in vain, and there was no way to stop the Constellation anymore.

“I wasted a lot of energy and time because of that.”

The Fairy Queen was bitter.

Not helping the seven dragons.

Watching for hundreds of years without contacting Limon.

After all, it was the result of her hiding the truth about the Constellations while avoiding adventures.

“It’s not a waste. Anyway, thanks to that, I was able to block the Constellation.”

looking at her like that

Limon shook his head.

And he quietly added a word.

“Even if I had known the truth in the first place, my master would have slain seven dragons.”

“…I guess so.”

The Fairy Queen smiled bitterly.

It was because he knew that Limon’s consolation was never empty words.

The first Sword Master.

Because the Sword Emperor was like that.

And even if the Sword Emperor hadn’t appeared and learned the truth about the Constellation, it would have been difficult to fight with humanity.

Unlike her, who was originally a human, the seven dragons who could not see humanity as her own kind.

Humanity could not sympathize with the seven dragons who forced sacrifices for hundreds of years to prevent destruction.

From lifespan to inclination experience.

The relationship between the two races, which are so different in nature, will eventually break down someday.

Suppressing her bitter heart knowing that fact, she started talking again.

“Thirty-two years ago, Nine Worlds sealed most of the Constellations’ powers, but that seal is only half.”

“With the remaining two layers of barriers, we could only block the Constellation’s direct intervention, but we couldn’t help but indirectly project our power into the world.”

“The Constellations have done a lot just by projecting some power like that.”

make a dungeon

making contracts with players, etc.

The power of the Constellations that changed the era itself with only a fraction of their power was truly terrifying.

“And, of course, what the Constellations were most passionate about was finding the sealed Seven Arcs.”

32 years ago.

The seven barriers that sealed the power of the Constellations were scattered all over the world.

However, there is a limit to the formless barrier.

That’s why, although it may have become fragments, it permeated into the most suitable ‘vessel’ according to the programming to maintain the seal.

It has two conditions.

It can contain the power of the Constellation.

In the first place, the structure of the seal should be inherent.

Among those conditions, the seven ‘vessels’ selected by the barrier itself were the Seven Arcs.

Even the Fairy Queen and the Constellations, who fought fiercely to seal and resist each other, did not know where the seven barriers had permeated.

The moment the barrier is broken.

each other one by one.

Except for the two Seven Arcs, which were created by snatching fragments close to the edge.

“The Constellations were cunning.”

“Instead of being able to move directly, we created a lot of players through contracts.”

“And among them, I gave the first Seven Arcs to the most useful human to collect them.”

That is the ruler of the regressive lord.

On the surface, they act as monarchs.

Create a liberation brigade behind the scenes.

He was an agent of the Constellations who secretly ruled this Iron Age with the power of the skills he received from the Constellations.

“On the other hand, I, who exhausted most of my strength 32 years ago, fell into a deep sleep again while being half-sealed here.”

“And because of that, even the second Seven Arks I had was taken away.”

slowly.

The Fairy Queen turned her head.

and what he had in his hand.

Looking at the wand that looked completely different from the one in the distant past, he muttered bitterly.

“The Hammer of Dvergr, Legacy of the Fairy King.”

A sacred object of the Fairy King that contains the essence of the fairies who reached the pinnacle of scientific civilization in the distant past.

On the other hand, by taking it away, her activities, which had exhausted a lot of energy, were further restricted.

The Constellations regained their power and were able to intervene more deeply in the world.

“All I could do was minimize the intervention of the Constellations by becoming the nucleus of the remaining barrier and maintaining the main system.”

It was a desperate delay.

To prevent the Constellations from directly intervening in the world by destroying the remaining barriers.

For the past 32 years, she had to stay asleep in this lake, doing nothing.

“Honestly, it was a hopeless situation.”

Time goes by.

The more you collect the Seven Arcs.

It was clear that the power of the Constellations would become stronger.

If this continues, the balance will eventually collapse and the world will be destroyed by the Constellations that have regained all their power.

“But one day three miracles happened.”

“…three miracles?”

“The first was that you, Limon, obtained the Seven Arcs.”

if it was someone else.

It would have been just a coincidence.

However, it was truly a miracle that Limon, the only one with the power to protect the Seven Arcs, obtained it.

Limon breaks the seal.

As much as using Seven Arcs.

Including the fact that the burden of the barrier has been reduced, and she has been able to work, albeit little by little.

And another miracle.

The fairy queen turned her gaze to the woman in the maid outfit who frowned as if she had a headache.

“The second was that you partnered with the descendants of the seven dragons and awakened the eighth dragon psionic.”

To be wary of leaking information.

Also because of the sudden death.

The seven dragons did not leave any records about the constellations, and neither threats nor hostility to the constellations were transmitted to the Seven Dragons.

If it had been the way it was, there might not have been a confrontation with the Constellations.

However, thanks to Limon, the Seven Dragons naturally became hostile to the Liberation Brigade and the World Federation.

Of course, a force to oppose the Constellations that used humanity as bait with skills and dungeons was created.

The fact that the seven dragons finally found a way to resurrect in the Seven Dragons, where only half the lineage had been inherited, was a miracle.

After speaking calmly.

The fairy queen turned her eyes again to the final miracle.

“And the third is you.”

[…?]

Maybe it’s because I’ve been concentrating on the story for a while, and I’ve heard the wrong words.

wandering around

I tilted my head.

After blinking my eyes.

Yuna-kyung inadvertently raised one wing and pointed at herself.

[Me?]

“Yes.”

looking at her like that

The Fairy Queen chuckled.

“Did you know that you are very special?”

[Uh, I know I’m a rather special pet…]

“I’m not just talking about the lineage of the Spirit Beast or the memories of my previous life. It means that you are out of destiny.”

[…You escaped fate?]

“You are a being who is not even under the gaze of the Constellation and is not bound by the providence of the world.”

Is it because he died and was resurrected?

Or is it because of Limon’s influence?

Looking at the blue bird, who can only be called a heretic child of fate he has never seen in his entire long life, or an illegitimate child of a miracle.

The Fairy Queen said quietly.

“Including your qualifications.”

[The qualifications I have?]

It’s really bewildering.

The Fairy Queen didn’t bother to explain to the bluebird, who had been raising a question mark above her head as if she didn’t know what she was talking about.

I just suggested it calmly.

“Blue bird.”

from a long time ago.

I wanted to continue, but

Because no one was qualified.

In the end, the fairy queen made a proposal that she had never made before with a smile.

“Will you sign a contract with me and become the next Fairy Queen?”

[…yes???]
