227 Heretics
「…… I see, I will find out the origin of the other party as soon as possible, and before then you will inform the other heretics and never make contact with them."
In a dimly lit space, four huge torches froze, and from time to time the flickering flames let out a burst of sparks.
This is the "Prayer Room" located under the guild headquarters, where the great god Ouranos performs "prayers" to suppress the monsters in the dungeon so that they do not break out of the big hole and come to the surface.
At this time, the black-robed "Fool" - Ferros put away the eye crystal in his hand and turned to look at Ouranos.
"Ouranos, it's clear that the group that stayed with the Hestian clan is related to the other world mentioned in the message sent by Royman."
The solemn old god sat on the throne of the altar of "between prayers" and spoke slowly.
"The realm gate that could not have been in this world...... There is another world emerging, and this may be an opportunity. ”
Fellowes nodded slightly, as if he understood what the old god said, but still said, "But we don't know what the other party thinks of the heretics, especially the one who is in charge of all this-"
"Go find him."
The old god said, and the solemn voice echoed "between prayers."
"The tide of the times is about to change, and this nether realm, which has been sealed for thousands of years, will finally flow again. Since he has the idea of separating the "key" in his hand, he should take the initiative to contact him and ask for his consent, which is also a sign of respect for him. ”
"At that time, the guild must have a "key"!"
"I see."
Fellowes nodded slightly.
"I'll go find him."
……
"Fellowes told us not to contact the group until we got the news, and to relay their news to the other heretics."
In the Quartz Cave, Liddell the Lizardman turns back to relay Fellowes' commands.
"To shuo near yi duan er, the nearest jiu is Mary ba!" Said Singing Bird Lei.
"She stayed in Twenty-Seven Keng because of the relationship between Bu and Xing Zou on land!"
"Hurry up and tell her that the group of people has already marched to that level!"
Hearing this, the purple figure stood up.
"Let me go, I'm better suited to walking around the dungeon than you, and I don't have to worry about being attacked even if I meet that group."
"Then, please!"
Leader nodded.
"Wrap it up with me!"
The purple figure laughed, then spread its translucent wings on its back, and flew up with a buzz.
……
On the ground, Luo Bin and the four of them walked on the lively street with different moods.
Luo Bin has not seen this scene for hundreds of years because of the time difference, so he is a little nostalgic.
Landoro Luke is curious, in the original world she had an interest in ancient civilizations and the like, and now when she comes to another world, she naturally does not forget to observe.
And Hestia and Chunji are completely to accompany Luo Bin.
In this way, Luo Bin, who was surrounded by three beautiful girls, looked at the envious and hateful eyes of the men around him, and casually picked up gifts for the five girls.
The gifts for the three girls who were with her could be given to them now, and Ayna and Ciel would have to wait until they returned.
"These glasses can be given to Aegina...... Well? ”
In an optical store, Luo Bin, who was picking out glasses for Aegina, suddenly spoke, and almost at the same time, Lan Duolu could look away, as if looking outside through the roof.
"Coming for you?"
Lan Duolu glanced at Luo Bin.
"Probably." Luo Bin responded.
"What?" Hestia, who didn't know why, leaned in front of Luo Bin, "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing, you are not allowed to hide it from me!?" ”
"Ahaha, it's nothing, it's just that someone is looking for me."
Luo Bin smiled and rubbed Hestia's head, then threw a bag of gold coins to the store manager, and put the selected glasses on the counter.
"Help me put it up."
"Okay."
Then, a group of four people walked out of the store, came to a hotel, and booked a private room.
With a fluttering sound, an owl flew in through the open window and landed in the void in front of Luo Bin's eyes, the light was slightly distorted, and a black robe was revealed.
"Are you ......" Luo Bin thought for a moment, "- who is it?" ”
“……”
Feros suddenly staggered, glanced at Luo Bin speechlessly, and sighed.
"You're really a noble person who forgets things, and you forgot about it after leaving for so long, I'm Fellowes."
Luo Bin rolled his eyes, the time in this world has only been more than a month, but after hundreds of years over there, how can he remember everyone.
But there is no need to say this to him.
"So, what are you looking for me?" Luo Bin waved his hand and asked.
"If it's about the realm gate and the other world, then we have to wait until the Divine Council convenes, you and Ouranos can't even afford to wait for this little time, right?"
"It's not about those." After Luo Bin finished speaking, Fellowes answered: "Let me say so, Mr. Luo Bin, you-what do you think of monsters who hold reason and have the same feelings as humans?" ”
"Oh?"
Luo Bin couldn't help but squint his eyes, of course, this was just a mimicry made by magic, and the real eyes were still hidden under the cloth.
"Tell me more about it?"
"You answer my question first." Ferros said in a solemn voice.
Luo Bin glanced at him, then leaned back in his chair.
"Well, since you want to know my opinion, let me tell you - if you have reason and have the same emotions as humans, then you are not a monster, but a "life" with a different body but the same essence."
"That's how I see it."
Hearing this, there was silence for a while, and Fellowes couldn't help but shake, as if looking at Luo Bin in astonishment, and the three girls also raised their eyebrows.
Feeling Ferros's wavering emotions, Luo Bin chuckled.
"You made me say what I think, why is it like this now, and besides, my opinion should be in line with your heart."
“… It's just that I really didn't expect you to answer so crisply and be able to see it so openly. ”
Fellows said faintly.
"It's just that I've experienced a lot, so I naturally see it." Luo Bin said disappreciatively.
"Okay, now can you talk more about it?"
"Yes, of course."
Fellowes sorted out the language.
"'Zenos' - are a kind of monster born in the dungeon, and as mentioned before, they have the same reason and emotions as humans."
"According to the inference of the great god Ouranos, assuming that monsters also have souls, then they have reincarnation just like us - through dungeons - and "heretics" are beings who recall their past lives and generate "strong longings" while gaining reason."
"It is unknown when they appeared, but sixteen years ago, when Zeus and Hera were still alive, we decided to support them in the name of 'protection' after clearly observing and contacting their existence."
"Support ......! Guild?! Go to the support of the monsters!? Are you crazy?! ”
Luo Bin, Landoruk, and Haruhime didn't mention it for the time being, but Hestia said as if he was crazy.
There is a blood feud between the children of the Nether and the monsters for thousands of years, and even if the heretics have intelligence, it is difficult for the children to understand.
Once the guild's support for monsters is revealed, then the guild will be finished, and even being outright banned is a foreseeable situation.
"I can understand your feelings, at first, I was reluctant when I received this assignment, but as I came into contact with them-"
Fellowes reached out and stroked the position of his heart, though it was hilarious that it was done by a disembodied undead.
"I began to sincerely want to help them who longed for humanity and wanted to live in peace with humans."
"Hmm......" Hestia murmured bitterly, "Forget it, I haven't been in direct contact with them, so I won't say anything more......"
"And then you came to me because you wanted me to help those heretics?"
Luo Bin smiled indifferently and said.
"Or, you want me to help them fake their identities and disguise them as visitors from another world, because they are different worlds, so even if they look like the monsters of this world, at least there is a possibility of mutual understanding."
"That's right, so, your opinion is crucial." Fellowes nodded.
