506 "Chaldean"

By the time I left the Great Chapel, it was almost noon.

If it were in the human world, it would be time to eat.

But the goblins didn't need to eat, and Aurora and Oberon didn't think about eating at all, so after the conversation ended, Aurora stopped keeping Rig and the others, so that Oberon immediately proposed to set off and take action against time.

This made Artoria, who knew Riege's true identity, look at Rig worriedly, and even quietly asked him if he wanted to find a chance to have a meal.

Riger did not accept the offer.

The main thing is that he can also use magic to maintain his state, so it doesn't really matter to him whether he eats or not.

At the time of Camelot, Rige relied on magic to clear the valley, so the goblins in the palace did not suspect that he was human.

Morgan, on the other hand, would have someone bring a meal to Rieg every once in a while, saying that it was for him to try something new, but Rig always felt that the witch had made a special trip to deliver the meal because she was a human being.

That is, Morgan really knew that Rig was not the son of prophecy and knew that he was not a goblin.

Except for Artoria and Morgan who knew that Rigg was human, I am afraid that only Beryl, the freak, could see through Riger's true identity in the first place and tell Tristan about it.

Although Oberon is a follower of pan-human history, he does not seem to have seen through Rieger's identity and discovered that he is a human being.

In this case, Rig didn't mind hiding a little and continued to use magic to maintain his state.

Together, Rige, Artoria, and Oberon left the Great Sanctuary and even Salisbury to the plains outside.

"[Second Order Monster Summoning]."

As the sound of Lig chanting magic sounded, a magic circle appeared on the plain, causing the eight-legged horse, which was all white, to leap out of it and come in front of everyone.

"[Advanced Item Creation]."

Rig also unleashed the creation magic, creating a carriage and connecting it to the eight-legged horse.

A luxurious carriage was born, which amazed Oberon on the side.

"Is this your magic? It looks amazing! ”

As he said this, Oberon had shrunk his size, turned into a villain, and put himself on the moth named Blanca.

“…… I'm a magician, too. ”

Artoria muttered beside her.

As the three of them left the Great Chapel, Aurora suggested that if they didn't have a means of transportation, she could arrange for them to mount.

However, this proposal was rejected by Rige.

He was able to make a carriage with magic himself, and he didn't need much to prepare a means of transportation.

So, the three of them left Salisbury directly and entered the Southern Plains.

The first time I saw Oberon using magic in Riger, I was a little curious.

Artoria, who had seen Rige show her magic several times, turned to Oberon after a while.

"Anyway, where are we going next?"

Because it was Oberon who suggested that he should act quickly, Rig and Artoria had not yet asked him what his plans were.

"To find our companions, of course."

Oberon replied cheerfully.

"Companion?" Artoria was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "Could it be the forces that Aurora mentioned that rebelled against the Queen?" ”

The king's clan in the north, the rebels in Sheffield, and the Round Table in Lentiginion were the forces that rebelled against the queen, and they were, technically, their companions.

As the saying goes, the enemy of an enemy is a friend, and since Artoria has already received the help of Aurora and Oberon, she doesn't mind the more the merrier.

Oberon, however, shook his head.

"No, it's not them." Oberon said, "Although they are also companions that we need to strive for, I am talking about companions who are much more special than them. ”

"Exceptional...... Companion? Artoria tilted her head and said, "Who?" ”

Before Oberon could answer this question, Rige suddenly spoke up.

"It's Chaldeans, isn't it?"

As soon as these words came out, Artoria and Oberon were both stunned.

"Chaldeans?"

A question mark already appeared on Artoria's crooked head.

"Do you know of the existence of the Chaldees?"

Oberon looked at Rig in surprise.

"Sort of." Li Ge nodded, and said lightly: "The human security institution of pan-human history has long admired the great name. ”

In the history of pan-humanity, there is a special organization that is not interfered with by any state.

It is an organization that brings together experts in various fields, regardless of magic and science, to preserve the history of mankind in order to keep the history of mankind long and resilient.

It is a research institute.

It is also an observatory and an observatory.

Observing a world that cannot be seen by magic alone, and science alone cannot measure its entirety, it is a secret service agency that intervenes in the event of a change that can lead to the extinction of mankind and protects the history of mankind.

This is the "Chaldean" ——— the Institution for the Survival of Human Relations.

For Chaldeans, Rieg has indeed admired the name for a long time.

Because, this institution is the organization where the protagonist of the original book belongs, and it is the main stage where many important stories in this world take place.

The protagonist of the original book is none other than a royal lord in the Chaldees.

The so-called master is a magician who has signed a contract with the servant and can perform the service on the servant.

The Chaldeans' intervention in human history and the protection of human reason were mainly carried out by the master and his servants.

"When a hazard that affects the history of pan-humanity appears, the Chaldean lord will appear with the servants summoned by them to investigate, survey, and obstruct the location of the hazard, and if necessary, even use extraordinary means to take the initiative to cut off the Persona belt and repair the peculiarities in human history."

Rig explained to Artoria.

"This is the Chaldeans, and the foreign traveler mentioned in the prophecy of the Mirror Clan."

Hearing this, Artoria's eyes widened slightly.

"It turns out that the foreign magician refers to this magician sent by the Chaldeans?"

Artoria finally knew who the prophesied foreign traveler was to help her.

"That's right." Li Ge said with great certainty: "So far, they have attacked many peculiarities, repaired Renli many times, and even saved Renli, and even the Persona Belt has been attacked by them five times. ”

"Now, pan-human history is about to collapse because of the strange world of the fairy country of Britain, and in this case, the Chaldean side must have noticed the abnormality."

"Therefore, the Chaldean master may have infiltrated this Britain with his servants, and came to this world of strange news."

Rige finally spoke up about this matter of great importance to Artoria.

In the original book, Artoria embarked on a pilgrimage journey with the assistance of the Chaldeans and embarked on the path of a savior, and finally successfully completed her mission to redeem the fairy country of Britain.

Strictly speaking, they are Artoria's destined companions, and they are the ones who can be absolutely trusted.

Incidentally, Beryl's forces were basically antagonistic to the Chaldeans, and the two could be regarded as friends and foes.

Yes, Berrier is also from pan-human history, and is also opposed to Chaldeans, and is an out-and-out villain.

"You know that very well."

On the side, Oberon said this to Rig with deep meaning.

"It's okay." Li Ge said calmly: "Don't you know a lot?" ”

"I don't know as much as you do." Oberon pointed to something, and said: "Originally, I thought that you, like the Chaldeans, were both helpers from the pan-human history, and maybe even Chaldeans, but now it seems that you have a deeper origin than I thought, Rieger. ”

Hearing this, Rig turned his gaze to Oberon, and actually laughed.

"I should have said that, right?" Li Ge still had a calm face, but he said: "Your origin should be deeper than anyone thinks, shouldn't you?" ”

Oberon stopped talking.

Rig also stopped talking and stopped speaking.

The two fell silent in unison, allowing an eerie atmosphere to permeate.

That's when Artoria spoke.

“…… I thought my origins were mysterious and complicated enough, but now it seems that I am the simplest one? ”

Artoria had an indescribable expression.

Seeing Artoria like this, Rig and Oberon were stunned for a moment, and then they both laughed.

"No, no, how can we match you, the future savior." Oberon said happily: "Cheer up, we still have to count on you." ”

Artoria snorted softly, looking like she didn't want to speak.

Rig glanced at Artoria before speaking out to Oberon.

"Since you said you were going to find Chaldea, that means that Chaldea has come to this world of Strange Things?"

To this question, Oberon naturally gave an affirmative answer.

"This is information that I have gathered with great difficulty." Oberon said, "If there is no accident, the Chaldea should have arrived by now." ”

Rig nodded unsurprised.

This point in time was exactly the same as he had predicted when he was in the palace.

Shortly after his wedding to Morgan, the Chaldea would come to the fairy kingdom of Britain.

According to the original book, the place of Chaldea after coming to the fairy country of Britain should be the nameless forest mentioned earlier.

"Let's go."

Oberon spoke to Rig and Artoria.

"I'll take you there."

As he spoke, Oberon flew forward directly on Blanca.

Rig and Artoria immediately entered the carriage one after the other, and under the pull of the white eight-legged horse, they followed Oberon.

The sound of rolling wheels suddenly appeared on the road outside Salisbury, causing puffs of dust and smoke to roll up behind the carriage.

"Exotic Travelers...... Is it? ”

Artoria, sitting in the carriage, looked out the window and remembered the prophecy of the Mirror Clan.

With the help of a foreign magician, the Child of Prophecy will embark on a pilgrimage journey and eventually become the savior of Britain, defeating the false king and crowning him as the true king.

Artoria hadn't been unexpected, fantasizing about what the prophesied foreign magician would be like to assist her.

She has no friends, or no real friends, only pretending to be her friends, but in fact she has never paid attention to her fairy hair in the village of Tintagel.

Thanks to this, Artoria, who knows that she will have like-minded partners in the future, naturally does not have fantasies about what kind of person the other party is.

If it were her before, she would have been nervous and nervous when she embarked on the road to find a foreign magician, right?

Can ...... now

"I already have like-minded companions."

Artoria looked at Rige, who was sitting next to her.

"Huh?" Rig sensed Artoria's gaze and wondered, "What's wrong?" ”

“…… No. Artoria shook her head and smiled, "Nothing. ”

Artoria said this, and there was a clear nostalgia in her eyes that she had not had in the past.

She wouldn't tell Rieger that, in fact, she had dreamed of him last night when she dreamed of herself in pan-human history.

I dreamed that he turned into a dawn again, illuminating the path under his feet and escorting himself.

Thanks to this, she was able to persevere in reading another of her own lives.

Otherwise, she would have been crushed by the heavy pressure.

…………

Just as Rige and his party set off for their journey, several figures appeared on the shore of a forest on the distant border.

They seemed to have crossed from the other side of the sea, and as soon as they landed, they were immediately plunged into a thick fog.

“…… Is this the Persona Belt? ”

A voice was the first to sound.

"I can't see anything, it's a thick fog."

Another voice followed.

"Wait, I'll survey the surroundings first."

It was a childish voice, and as it sounded, there was a sound of dripping of the operating instrument.

"The temperature is moderate, the humidity is normal, judging from this value, the fog here should not be a normal water mist, and the content of mana (magic) in the air is extraordinary, if it is so thick, I am afraid that many ancient mysteries are still left on this land, so everyone should be careful, don't be negligent."

The childish voice reminds in such a way that it is surprisingly intelligent, giving people a precocious feeling.

"Yes."

"Understood."

The other two immediately responded, and it could be seen that they respected the opinion of the owner of this childish voice, and it could even be said that they completely followed each other's reminders and judgments.

But when the three of them were about to act, a fourth voice suddenly appeared.

“…… I'm sad that you're right next to you, but you're not aware of my existence at all? ”

As soon as these words came out, the three people in front of them were taken aback.

“…… Alas? ”

"Y-...... you!?"

"Tristan!"

In response to the exclamations of the first three people, the owner of the fourth voice seemed to finally laugh.

"Yes, Knight Tristan, in response to the call."

A beautiful sound echoed through the fog.

The knight, who called himself Tristan, played the harp, much to the delight of the three in front of him.

They didn't notice that the fog around them was getting thicker and thicker.

Moreover, some dark shadows approached silently, slowly moving away in the direction where they were.

…………

Nameless Forest.

It is a forest near the coast in the southwest of the Elven Kingdom of Britain, in the far corner of the island nation.

It is not called the Nameless Forest because it has no name.

"It's a forest that makes people forget everything about themselves, and even their names will eventually be forgotten...... Is it? ”

In the carriage, Artoria repeated the introduction Oberon had brought, muttering to herself.

"That's right." Oberon was still sitting on Blanca's body, but he had already entered the carriage and came to Rige and Artoria, and said, "Whether it is a fairy or a human, as soon as you enter that forest, you will gradually get lost in the thick fog, and in the process of getting lost, you will gradually forget everything, until you forget your name. ”

"This is the Forest of the Nameless, once you enter it, you can't return it, and you lose your name."

It was the worst elven territory in Britain.

It was the most feared and unpopular death by the goblins.

At least, for the elves, it's no different from the Jedi.

The reason is simple.

"Once the goblin loses its name, it will lose the meaning of existence and even the concept of existence, and eventually it will either completely wither, or it will turn into a morse cursed by Britain, wandering the land of Britain all day long, until it is destroyed, and then it can be redeemed."

Oberon spoke eloquently.

"We're going to such a horrible place, how do you feel?"

Needless to say?

Anyway, Artoria grabbed the staff of choice, and looked resistant.

The Nameless Forest is a great deterrent to goblins, and the sense of terror caused by them is far stronger than that of humans.

At the very least, humanity will not be reduced to Morse and cursed creatures just because they lose their memories and names.

The goblins are different, and unless they want to commit suicide, they will never dare to approach the Nameless Forest.

“…… Did that Chaldea really land in that kind of place? ”

Artoria looked distressed.

"I'd love to say no, but sadly, it's true." Oberon shrugged his shoulders and said, "According to the information I have received, only the coast of the Nameless Forest has been docked by unknown drifts in the recent past, and those eight achievements are Chaldean ships. ”

That is to say, unless they give up the search for the Chaldeans, they must go to this nameless forest.

"You're all right?" Oberon turned to Rig and Artoria and said, "I have a way not to be affected by the Nameless Forest, how about you?" ”

Artoria hesitated.

She also didn't know if she would be affected by the Nameless Forest.

Rige was sure that this effect of interfering with memory had no effect on him.

But just as he was about to speak, a strange movement suddenly appeared, attracting Riege's attention.
