For a moment, Leeds was stunned and asked back, not understanding what had been said.
Defeat the king?
Doesn't that mean that you are going to ...... my father.
"Is it really such a surprise? At least I'm sure I told you that I have a grudge against the royal family.
It's ...... indeed, I've heard of it, but ......
That day, after I was separated from Beatrice, I heard the story along with the story that I was going to be killed by my father.
Strictly speaking, after hearing the story, my father told me he was going to kill me, and shortly after that I was attacked by a demon.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.
It's not just a good idea to have a good time, but it's also a good idea to have a good time.
"e ......
"No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry if I reminded you of something you don't like. But I am as you see. You don't have to be concerned about it anymore, okay? I'm the only one who was responsible for it in the first place.
"No, but ......
Well, we can talk about it later. I'm sure you're wondering why I made such a suggestion.
It's ...... yes, it certainly is ......
It's still good to know that Alfred is trying to bring down the king, even if I'm not convinced that there is some reason.
I understand, if not agree, that there's a reason.
But to invite Leeds to join in, it was as if it didn't make sense.
"I never hated your father, and I have no reason to do so,
"I have a reason. I've already told you. There's no other way for you to survive, because if you don't, you're going to get killed.
...... Even your uncle's words are not very believable. Why would your father want to kill us in the first place?
...... Well, I guess so. I can see why you would think that. Because this is such an inexcusable story. You know what some of you native-gift holders are called?
"What's it called in part,? ...... No, I'm sorry. It is the first time I've ever heard of anything special being called something that exists.
To begin with, I have rarely heard of anyone claiming to have an inborn gift.
And whether it is inborn or acquired, there is no difference in having a gift.
Therefore, it is said that there is almost no difference between the two, only that they were acquired at different times, and there is no point in calling them differently.
There is no point in calling them differently.
"--God's puppet. That's what they call you.
"Of God, the puppet, is it?
By all accounts, it was not a good way to be called that.
But before he could raise an eyebrow, Rees tilted his head because he didn't understand what it meant to be called that.
What in the world do you think they're calling him that?
...... Well, I guess so. You are not aware of that because you were born that way.
"Um, what does that mean: ......?
A gift is something that comes from God. Then, in no small part, it contains the will of God. What is there to argue about?
Yes, it's ...... common sense.
As long as the gift comes from God and it's not random, it's clear that God's will is contained therein.
But that's not why we're talking about it.
It's something akin to a revelation, a will.
It just shows you that this is the direction you're headed, but that doesn't change things.
In that sense, it's like status.
Status certainly points you in the direction of your talent, but you don't have to follow it.
If there's something else you want to do, you just do it.
Well, you're right. Well, you're right. But it's not right either. Your opinion is only the opinion of royalty ...... or, at best, those who stand on the side of the nobility.
Does that mean it's different for other people?
At least from the point of view of the general public, the gift is much bigger. That is, to the extent that it affects the future. There is no way for the average citizen to not take advantage of a gift, even if it exists. It's their responsibility, though, depending on how you look at it. I'm not saying there's a god involved. But not you guys.
"Separately, is ......?
"Yeah. That's what you see in your gifts, right? Compared to other gifts, your gifts have too much (・・・・・・) influence (...) on the surroundings.
I was told, I'll think about it.
But I tilted my head because I still didn't think so.
You could say that about the general's gift, but...
"Not to mention the general, right? It's almost like a gift to lead your army to victory. And the worst part about that gift is that it doesn't exhaust (・・・・・) itself (・・・・・), which is the worst thing about it. If I wanted to, this country could even destroy, let alone subdue, all the surrounding countries.
...... "That's not--
Of course, you can do it whether you want to or not, but you can still do it if you want to. Isn't it?
It's certainly undeniable.
The general's gift would have done that.
That's why other countries were quick to take the path of friendship before the only way down was to be destroyed.
But if you think about it, I don't think my father would try to kill us.
It would be an act that would put his country in danger.
Well, you can't judge until you've heard it all. And I don't need to tell you about the archbishop...
"Really? Surely the influence is not small, but there are other people who can do the blessing, right?
"Well. That's all there is to it. But what do you think we'd do without it? You know what happens when people who normally have good gifts are all treated as incompetent?
"e ......
That being said, I recall that it was.
The archbishop is the only one who can appraise a class 5 gift.
If it weren't for him, you would have a class 5 gift, but you didn't receive the gift.
It is a good thing that you have a good idea of what to expect.
The fact that the influence is also huge, and in the case of the brave men and women, it affects all of humanity, so it's a matter of whether it's big or not.
"Not so much, is it?
"We're going to slay dragons that are essentially impossible for humans to defeat. When you can hunt a demon that is hostile to humanity, it is safe to say that it will affect the entire human race. And we have the holy sword.
It is called the holy sword and reminds me of the other day.
It is true that this is something that can only be done by a brave man.
It's not only that, but also that Noel has one foot in it.
The other thing that's left is the Fairy King: ...... Although this is only a guess, it's probably an influence on spirits and the beings that originated them. It's also a great deal of influence when it comes to creating top-notch weapons.
"Fairy King ......?
It was an unfamiliar name.
But I knew it meant Noel, because she was also a holder of the Inherent Gift.
The one person I couldn't confirm is her, and my visit to that town was actually to confirm that.
But she had never been called by that name before, and although she wondered if it had anything to do with her being an elf, she couldn't say the question.
Before that, he was told his name.
"And Rees. You are a saint, and so are you.
...... How did you get it to ......
It is indeed a bluff that the country is looking for a saint.
The royal family knows about it, but they must not have leaked it to the others because they do not know its influence on the others.
They were spreading rumors and going to different villages to confirm it.
Although Alfred was certainly in a position to know about it, but only if the story was told when Alfred was there.
It was only after Alfred was gone that Leeds gained the power as a saint.
There was no way he could have known that she was a saint.
No, it is true that Allen could have predicted this without saying anything: .......
Well, I have a lot of information. And what does it matter? The problem is the amount of influence you have. In a way, you're the biggest, you know.
...... I don't think so.
Though its influence is unknown, it is mainly against the alchemists.
It was mainly to explore them, as it was not good to antagonize them, as their main source of income was from potions.
I didn't think it would affect humanity or anything like that like other people do.
...... still didn't get it. You know what? You're a miracle worker who can do what no one else in humanity has ever been able to do. And, unlike the others, you are the only one in history who can do it. Once you're found to be the one, the consequences are immeasurable. And the rest of the world will be looking for you like mad. To wage war on this country.
I thought I was exaggerating too much, but Alfred's eyes were serious to all intents and purposes.
I didn't think it was possible, but I reflexively gulped.
...... If that were the case, then your father would certainly try to kill me. My existence is too harmful to this country. But wouldn't other people be rather beneficial?
"No? What did I say? The influence is too great. At least they are not the kind of things that one individual can have. I mean, did you forget where this story started? What did I say you guys are called? Add to that the fact that all of you have too much influence over ...... and now what happens?
"...... no way
That's impossible. You're being controlled by God (・・・・・・). No, maybe that's not the right way to put it, but at least you're doing what God wants you to do. What other reason do you think there is for God to give such a powerful force to an individual by nature?
Leeds thinks he's been doing everything by himself so far.
But if you ask me if this is really the case, I can't nod my head confidently to ...... it.
Especially with Leeds, there are also revelations.
If God's will was involved, there was no denying it.
But.
...... There are others who receive revelations, and they are all for the prevention of human misery. So, even if we are, isn't it the same thing? If it's to prevent people from being unhappy, if it's to make people happy, at least I think that's fine with me. ......
"............ Yeah, right. But who wouldn't, no matter what you think? Just like that guy.
"At ......, you're trying to kill us, is that it?
"Oh. He doesn't like that ...... no, he doesn't think it's good for humanity. I guess it seems like he's not under God's protection, but that he's being controlled by God. That's why I've decided to kill you guys. To take the world back from God to man.
"...... such
But that's why I, no, we're going to propose to you. Come with us and take down that man.
Alfred's eyes were truly sincere as he said this.
Leeds now talks over and over again in his own head ...... and--!
"...... I'm sorry, uncle,
"...... Really. I guess it's hard to believe this all of a sudden, isn't it?
It's not ...... not to say that it's not there, but I still believe in your father. Even if that is true, I believe that if we talk about it, he will understand. And that's what your uncle said. The most important thing is to trust people at all times,
"............ Yeah. . come to think of it,
"Yes. . so--
"Well, well, then, what can I do?
Instantly, Alfred's voice quality changed.
No, maybe it wasn't really, but at least it seemed that way to Rees.
A distinct darkness, not only because of the dimness, could be felt in Alfred's eyes.
'Nevertheless, in a way, it's on schedule. In fact, I'd say this is better, considering the fact that it's not worth the trouble.
With the words, a clear sound echoed in place.
It was the sound of Alfred pulling his sword from his waist.
It's lifted straight up as if to raise it above his head.
...... Huh? My uncle, Mr. ......?
All of a sudden, Leeds can only let out a stunned voice.
It's almost as if he can't understand what it is all about--
Yeah, don't worry. We'll put your body to good use. So--die in peace.
