Is this really just an RPG? !

Warren, this is how the runes are written, translated into the common language used by humans, it is "Warren", which is what Emily mentioned and perfunctorily mentioned outside the ruins. Since the name can be written in magic script, there are only two possibilities for the owner of this name, the name of a demon, or the name of a god.

Because demons and gods have one thing in common, that is, when someone calls their rune name, they can hear the first three sentences and the last three sentences said by the other party, and according to certain factors and conditions, they can use different The gesture descends upon the caller. As for what kind of behavior it will perform after it descends... Probably only those who have truly summoned demons or gods will know.

After all, these are a bunch of weird guys.

But who is Warren?

Qiuqiu used to tell me all kinds of things about the gods as a joke, from the creation god Lindsay to the nameless god, but I had never heard the name "Warren". Could it be that this "Warren" is not a god, but some demon?

And my senior sister Emily is actually a demon believer?

Well, the chaser is also quite possible.

Judging from her reaction when she saw the "Warren" sign, it seems that the latter is more likely.

[In short, the answer is right here! 】

I gave up using these few clues to continue to speculate about the seemingly non-existent possibility, turned around and leaned against the wall, used the magic scroll in the backpack to create a fist-sized ball of light, controlled it to float next to the book, and prepared to read it carefully What kind of content is recorded in this book.

It's okay to stuff some scrolls of commonly used spells in the backpack. It's a great thing for a spellcaster like me who has no spellcasting ability, but it's a bit too extravagant.

"I discovered 'Warren', although I can't be sure whether the other party is the organization that caused the last 'Century of Destruction', but since the name 'Warren' will be named, I can't treat it as if it never appeared, so I write this The purpose of this diary is to record all the relevant information I have investigated."

This is the sentence on the first page of the book.

Doom the century? organize?

I feel dizzy.

Although I'm just a newcomer brave, I don't know much, but I don't have any impression of several words in a row... Could it be something from the last century? Emily likes to go to the ruins to find various historical relics, and most of them are products of the last century, so it makes sense that the records say what happened in the last century!

[But what exactly is "The Century of Destruction"? 】

With Qiuqiu not by my side, I had no one to ask, so I could only continue reading with this doubt.

"The investigation work is very troublesome, because that organization no longer declared 'destruction' to the world from the beginning of its birth like last time, and it is exactly the same, I can hardly find any information about 'Warren', but along the way The various residual traces I found made me believe that this organization named 'Warren' existed the same as the organization of the same name in the last century, because I found the old god, just at the bottom of Ingrid Prison. "

"Thanks to Octavia, even though I violated my beliefs, the power given to me has not disappeared. I sealed the old god that symbolized the 'mutated disaster', hoping that someone would notice it, think There is a way to guard the seal to prevent the old gods from rushing out of the seal."

The bottom of Grid Prison?

Thanks Octavia ?

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Seeing this I can be sure of several things.

The first point is that Emily is a believer of Octavia, and according to the content recorded in the book, she is still a believer who betrays her belief, but Octavia's gift did not come from her leave. In other words, she was forced to abandon her faith for some reason, and this reason was known to the gods who cannot interfere with things outside the God Realm, so there was a situation where "even if she betrayed her faith", "the gift still exists" .

In connection with the history of Octavia and the "Century of Destruction" mentioned in the book, it was probably because Emily had to use the power of magic for some reason at that time, that is, she turned to believe in Anthony.

…………

etc!

If it is really related to the last century, it has a history of more than a hundred years!

Why does Emily look like she's only just coming of age?

Although the age of believers is often the least credible, but she no longer believes in Octavia, so there should be some changes!

[Calm down, calm down. 】

I kept admonishing myself like this in my heart. After taking deep breaths to calm down my emotions, I decided to read the book in my hand before thinking about these issues.

And the second point, there is an old god at the bottom of Grid Prison that symbolizes "mutant disaster", which is a very dangerous thing. That guy should have been released by the "Warren" organization, and then Emily was sealed. I don't know exactly when it happened. Anyway, when I was there before, the old god tried to break free from the seal again, but was sealed again by me and Zombie Larry, although it couldn't last too long.

This old god is really miserable!

…………

I will continue to read the content behind it.

"When I was about to give up, I got news that 'Warren' had set his sights on the most famous Christopher George College in the entire Lindsay Continent. It is said that there is a huge relic buried at the bottom of this college, and this relic is The residence of the founder of the academy, Christopher, contains something with great power, and 'Warren' wants to get it, so I decided to pretend to be a student of the academy and start investigating things about the ruins in the academy."

It turns out that Emily didn't like the ruins to explore the ruins, but pretended to like the ruins because she needed to find Christopher's ruins. However, it turned out to be the residence of Christopher, not the residence of Christopher George. I always thought that the name of the founder of the college was Christopher George.

Christopher, and George College.

So why name the college "George"?

"George... no no no."

Even if it is translated into magic text, I can't think of any reason!

I scratched my hair a little irritably.

"Fortunately, the current headmaster is still that old fellow Arnold. With my friendship with him, it is quite easy to sneak into the school quietly. I have also greeted him, but it doesn't seem to work... that The guy is too old and has lost the vitality of his youth. All he can do now is to continue to guard the school with his broken body, waiting for the next principal to appear, so he did not take the initiative to attack. Just be careful again and again."

"I warned him that it won't work, but Arnold is an old-fashioned old man. I can't persuade him if I haven't seen him for many years."

The current principal, Arnold, is a conservative?

So the academy made a series of bans because it sensed what was going to happen?

I shook my head and turned the diary to a new page.

"After about half a year, I almost forgot my purpose. This college is too ordinary, and nothing happened. Although students occasionally disappear unexpectedly, all missing students have gone through the travel procedures. It can be said that They ran out of the academy by themselves, and then lost contact when they encountered something, and I would occasionally investigate when I went out to find the ruins, but these missing students have nothing in common, and there are no clues at all."

"Until... eh! Tear it off?"

I stared at the pages in my hand in amazement.

Obviously, it should have been written in a very important place, but half of the page was torn off, and the content below was completely invisible, and it was completely blank when I turned back. I kept flipping through almost half of the diary before I saw the new content. I'm a little curious about where it was torn off, because the description given by the system is "Emily's Diary (Complete)", which means that this place itself is missing?

To tear off the seemingly important part is just to tell the person who sees this diary that the information in this part is very important.

No matter where the most important information is recorded, it is not safe, and there is always a possibility of being discovered, just like this secret room. Although it is very possible that Emily deliberately left a mechanism to allow me to enter smoothly, if someone with a heart uses investigative magic, they will find something wrong no matter what.

So for Emily, the safest and most convenient place to store important clues is——

"In her own brain, as long as she doesn't forget and stays alive, the clue will go unnoticed."

Then, she will develop a potion that changes her appearance, with the purpose of——

"Change her appearance to escape from other people's surveillance, then she may have been targeted."

Emily would leave so many clues and then leave the room...

"Is there any reason to have to go, most likely related to 'Warren'."

I felt a headache. I knew so many clues, but I still felt that something was wrong.

Logically speaking, based on what I know now, I should leave here first, find Emily who may be in danger, and then have a good talk with her about "Warren" and her identity. But I think Emily's purpose is not to let me only read half of it, but to let me see the whole diary in its entirety.

Temporarily closing the diary in his hand, he turned to look at the window next to him.

"Main Quest 【Emily's Diary (Complete)】

Task content: When you come to the secret room, you find a diary. There is no doubt that this diary has recorded too many important contents. If you want to understand such a complicated situation in front of you, you should read this diary first.

Task requirements: 1. Finish reading "Emily's Diary (Complete)" (69% completed)"

Even this strange system requires me to read the entire diary.

[With the strength of senior sister, it should be no problem, right? 】

Thinking of this, I reopened the diary in my hand.

"There is a very strange student in the new class. He enrolled with the princess of the Alexander Empire. Generally speaking, he has no characteristics. The only surprising thing is that he has the magic power of 'A+'."

"Most of the people who can reach the 'A' level are already famous spellcasters. Even geniuses need a certain amount of time to accumulate to reach it. Now it appears on an obviously newcomer spellcaster, not to mention that he still has a'+ ', his magic power has a unique additional attribute."

"It may be that Her Royal Highness noticed something and took some measures. This student's semester test materials are almost blank. It took me a lot of effort to find the gravel that was used for the test at that time, and I had a few times with him. The mana collected during the meeting will finally determine the additional attributes of this new student."

"A very strange attribute, I named it 'repelling fusion', because this kind of mana can be fused with any kind of mana, but it is accidentally repelled by the magic net. magic' but 'couldn't cast any spells'."

"Just like I thought, his spellcasting practice class is F-level, and all spells must be released by magic scrolls, except for the occasional space spells that have been completely forbidden by the gods. I can't understand, even though he just Small tricks like [Teleportation] and [Open up space for storing items] are used, but they are indeed space spells."

"It was mentioned in Lord Octavia's Apocalypse, 'Space magic will cause the destruction of the world', 'so the gods forbid people on this continent to use this kind of magic'. I'm thinking, maybe this new student and' Warren', so it was decided to take him to Catherine's ruins. If he is really a member of the organization 'Warren' that created the 'Age of Doom', then the residual energy in Catherine's ruins will accelerate his lifespan and cause him to die instantly .”

…………

etc?

Excuse me?

How did this come to a conclusion? How did I not know that I was a member of "Warren"!

Excessive panic caused me to feel a chill behind me, and I took several deep breaths before I recovered. Although I have never understood why I was called a brave man, at least I can be sure that I am definitely not a member of "Warren", because I came back from the ruins of Catherine alive and did not die instantly.

Just, space magic?

These things are not even learned by doing tasks and reading books, they are things that exist naturally.

As for the reason, it is probably this strange system that I brought with me!

I look at the windows on the left and right sides, and I always feel that the interface above is getting more and more advanced, and I even have a feeling that it will break away from the plane and become a three-dimensional structure. Maybe one day it will become a guy who looks like a human being and can talk to me. Said "The master is really a piece of wood". Think about it or forget it, Qiuqiu is enough to have one, I don't need a second one to complain about my combat power.

[What the hell is this? 】

This question still bothers me to this day, but I can't find the answer.

Even Qiuqiu could only give a "don't know" answer.

Or maybe Qiuqiu knew, but couldn't tell me for some reason.

But so what, there's nothing I can do to find out.

[Probably, if I meet a certain god in the future, he can tell me! 】

I had no choice but to continue to read the content at the back of the diary.

"Neil didn't die because of the power of Catherine's ruins, but triggered some kind of mechanism. I realized that the ruins had been destroyed at some point, and even the symbol of reincarnation was only a quarter of it left. Three. The sealed evil may be released at any time, but I have already lost the power given to me by the light."

"However, things developed in a way I didn't expect. Neil actually used supernatural magic."

"There are only a handful of people who can use this kind of magic in history. Without exception, they all have a common identity-the brave of the Alexander Empire."

"As if it is the preference of the Creator God, this country with an ancient history and no aggressiveness will always have a kind of people called brave people. They are born with a certain power, so that this country with a weak force can survive the various battles safely. kind of war."

"Contacting the princess, I can almost confirm that Neil's identity is the hero of the Alexander Empire, but I have never seen such a weak hero. This is not the first time I have seen it. During the last 'Century of Destruction', When I faced the group of huge flaming stone beings, I saw the power of the brave."

"That was the last one, but the gap with the current one is too big!"

Oh, very good.

It seems that there is one more person who will complain about my uselessness.

However, is transgressive magic a sign of the brave?

I always thought that as long as you are a spellcaster, you will be able to release supernatural magic one day.

Probably my cognition has been biased!

Laughing at myself so much, I turned the diary to the last page.

"Regardless of Neil's strength, he is indeed a brave man, so maybe I should gamble on him."

"I finally found the member of 'Warren', he did infiltrate the college, it was a position that no one found out, until recently I didn't think it was right. There are several visa officers for the school leaving procedures, but every time the procedures for missing students It was handled by the same person."

"I suspect it's him, so I want to ask him to meet to test it out for myself."

"But my strength is no longer as reliable as it was in the 'Age of Destruction'. I am just an ordinary spellcaster who has lost my light. If the other party is really a member of 'Warren', once I am detected, it will probably be very difficult." escaped, so I decided to store this diary here, and then leave a magic circle in the kitchen."

"Neil, if you are reading this diary, then you are really a brave man of the Alexander Empire."

"You probably haven't thought about it. The previous brave man was a very greedy person. What he likes to do most is to sneak into the kitchen and eat up a lot of food. Of course, it's not because he eats a lot, but because he simply likes to chew. The feeling of things. As his friend, I naturally know this kind of thing, so I created a very special magic circle for him at that time, as long as it is detected that he ran into the kitchen at meal time every day, the magic circle will be activated .”

"As for what kind of effect will be triggered, it depends on how I set it."

"I'm curious why you didn't notice it?"

"It's true that the hero's sensitivity to mana is very high, to the point that most spellcasters are jealous, but it's also true, they tend to ignore certain places."

"'Magic circle that will never be discovered by the brave', this is a gift I created for my best friend, but it's a pity that I didn't really use it on him."

"—Emily Thomas"

…………

"Remember to pack it up after reading it. It's better to pretend you didn't see it. It's more interesting."

How boring this man is!

I almost couldn't help throwing the diary out of my hand.

"Wait, wait?"

When I held the diary in my right hand and raised it high to let go, I remembered a very important thing.

If I remember correctly, there is such a sentence in the diary.

"...If the other party is really a member of 'Warren', once I get noticed, it may be difficult to escape..."

It's five o'clock now, oh no, when I read the diary, it was almost six o'clock.

That is to say...

"Tsk!"

He threw the diary into the different space casually, and then rushed out of the secret passage all the way, instead of packing up the laboratory as Emily said, he left the room directly.

"Hopefully in time."

Emily now.

Probably...or definitely!

Something happened to her.

※ ※ ※ ※

I met a young female.

A girl in a baggy dress with injuries all over her body. She hugged my arm tightly and said a lot of things, but because her pronunciation was too strange, and there were even many words I had never heard before, so I couldn’t understand she means.

Even so, I could tell by the look in her eyes that she was asking for my help, as the man in the black robe and hat pulled up to hide his face was chasing after her.

Quite weirdly dressed, my first reaction was a member of a certain sect.

Only believers would dress like this.

But I don't recall any denominations that have gone so far as not to allow others to see the faces of their members.

The man held a short knife with purple luster in his right hand, and walked towards me and the girl while making syllables he had never heard before. The mana in the air began to gather, and I could feel that he should be chanting a spell, but I couldn't figure out what it was, because I couldn't understand every pronunciation.

It seems to be very similar to the pronunciation of the girl holding me.

Feeling the malice from that person, I subconsciously picked up the girl and retreated to the wall, and held the defensive magic scroll in my hand, ready to resist possible attacks from the other party at any time. However, things developed in a direction I didn't expect. After the man stopped singing, he held the short knife in both hands and raised it high. He looked up at the ceiling, and then let out a horrifying laugh, and stabbed the short knife into his neck .

Mana's fluctuations stopped, and the man also fell to the ground.

Probably, is he dead?

Piercing the neck like that, it is impossible for the vast majority of humans to survive without any precautions and medical treatment.

I breathed a sigh of relief, put the girl back on the ground, and looked at her seriously.

"Can you tell me what's going on?"

Obviously I was chasing after Emily who might be in danger, but I noticed the abnormally obvious mana fluctuation just as I stepped out of the room, as if telling me "this is the trace left by Emily". Follow Mana Wave all the way to this hidden room, but encounter such a thrilling situation.

I feel like I'm running out of brains.

Anyway, check where you are now.

I was too anxious on the road and didn't pay attention to the route when I came here, but I can vaguely feel that this house is located in an area of ​​the college that has been deserted for a long time, probably because the main entrance is closed. I didn't see anyone; other than this room, it looked shabby from the outside, but inside it was dust-free, as if someone had been there often.

All kinds of common furniture in the house are placed neatly. Actually, this should be an office somewhere?

Anyway, I have this feeling!

so.

"Who are you?"

I looked at the silent girl in front of me.

"who is he?"

I looked at the corpse lying on the ground not far away.

"where is this place?"

I looked around the room.

Finally, after hesitating for a while, I asked a guess that made me feel unbelievable.

"Are you Emily?"

"!"

The girl looked at me excitedly, and then I heard a "crack", as if some mechanism was opened, or some kind of seal was broken. I was wondering if something strange happened in this room, but the girl kept pulling my arm, so I could only turn my head and look at her.

"Thank God, I thought I'd never be able to speak for the rest of my life."

The girl finally spoke.

The voice sounded familiar, like someone I knew, but I couldn't remember who it was.

But what did she mean by this sentence?

"You can't talk for a lifetime?"

"I think we should start at the beginning, Neil."

"...?!"

Wait, this way of speaking!

Really Emily?

If you think about it carefully, there is indeed such a possibility. After all, Emily took out the experimental drug product she just made. If she encounters any dangerous situation, she will definitely try her best to escape. In other words, she drank the bottle of strange green potion with a strange smell, and then turned into a child?

"I think I should calm down first."

"Sorry Neil, you don't have that time. Fortunately for me, you, like the previous brave man, are a guy whose body is faster than his mind, and you didn't hesitate to ask me questions like 'Are you Emily? , of course I was able to speak normally again because of this.”

"Wait, me, me, my brain can't keep up."

"Well, let's start with me, I'm Emily Thomas, as you can see, after drinking that bottle of potion, I became a child, and as far as I feel, at least a month The inside cannot be changed, because the effect of the potion is very strong, maybe I will keep it like this forever?"

"Is it time to joke now? Sister!"

Is it complaining that she is full of childlike innocence after she became smaller, or should it be said that this is her usual over-optimism.

It all seems to make sense.

"So what's the matter?"

I pointed to the corpse next to me, hoping for an answer.

But Emily just shook her head at me in bewilderment.

"I don't know, I only know that he is a member of 'Warren', a survivor after the 'Century of Destruction', mixed into this college as a teacher, and is in charge of the visa procedures for students leaving school, so those who leave school At least half of the missing students are related to him... You have read that diary, right!"

"Ah, um."

The topic changed too quickly, and I was stunned for a moment before I realized it and nodded in affirmation.

"Then I'll skip what's written in the diary."

"clear."

Emily took a deep breath, and then sat directly on the ground.

Is she less feminine when she gets younger, or is it because she has lived so long that she doesn't bother to care about these issues?

"I have been tracking down the members of 'Warren' until I found that their target was Christopher George College, so I sneaked into the school with the help of my relationship with the dean, and observed the movement of 'Warren' while pretending to be an ordinary student, until I went to the school. I went to Catherine's ruins with you for the first time, and I was sure that the 'Warren' member who mixed into the academy was this guy."

After speaking in one breath, Emily coughed a few times and paused for a while.

"It's just that I found out too late. He seems to be taking some kind of action, so just in case, I can only take the risk of asking him to meet and leave you as many clues as possible," said Emily with a wry smile. "As I expected, the other party's identity is not high. Judging from the current classification in religion, he can only be said to be a slightly higher-level believer. Even so, the person who lost Octavia's asylum I have no way to beat him, I can only keep defending."

"Fortunately, 'Warren' gave him powers that ordinary people couldn't get, but it would gradually erode his sanity. I created a clone to fight him, and the main body drank the potion it carried to become what it is now. However, that potion was a little bit question."

When Emily said this, she showed an embarrassed look.

In fact, it doesn't seem like there's just a "kind of" problem.

"Is there a problem?"

"I don't know why a sealing technique was added to the potion to seal my communication ability. Even if I try to speak to others, I can only make unintelligible syllables. Only when someone can call out my name can I break the seal. .”

"...is there really such a sealing technique?"

No matter how you listen to it, it is a plot that only appears in novels!

"Yes, although it sounds like the way to remove it is very simple, but other methods will not work, even if you want to use violence to break the seal, it is useless."

Emily answered me very seriously.

"Okay, okay, put aside the sealing technique, what's the matter with that person?"

I pointed to the fallen body. At that time, the mana in the air was trembling violently. It was obvious that it was a large-scale spell. However, the man just stabbed the short knife into his body and ended his life. Then the spell stopped instantly, making people unclear about the situation. .

Assuming that the opponent's strength can really crush Emily, why not just shoot?

"I don't know about this, because many things about the 'Warren' organization are just puzzles."

Emily shook her head.

All in all, I managed to find Emily. Although she changed into a strange appearance, at least she was safe. The only thing left to do is to find a place to sit down and sort out everything, to understand the cause and effect of the whole incident. Of course, it must not be done in such a gloomy place, but should choose to return to Emily's bedroom.

Having said that, if I walked into the girls' dormitory with a girl in my arms, wouldn't I be hung up and beaten as a pervert?

"Neil?"

"No, nothing, I think we should leave quickly."

"Well," Emily nodded, she agreed with me very much, "Although I don't know why, I always have a feeling that there must be a problem with the boss of the level being solved so easily", "Could it be that this time the boss comes with It feels like a second-stage transformation', maybe a huge monster will appear in the next second."

"Gulu..."

The moment Emily finished speaking, I clearly heard a strange voice in the room.

It was very clear, and it came from the corpse.

I cautiously turned my head to look, only to find that the body was gone, only a robe covering the ground.

There is no smell of blood in the air... He clearly saw the short knife stabbed into the flesh with his own eyes, but no blood flowed out?

"Neil!"

"I don't feel very good, senior sister, let's hurry up..."

I grabbed Emily and was about to run out of the house, but I was so overwhelmed by the scene in front of me that I couldn't move.

"Aw!"

At the same time as the roar sounded, the walls of the house were shattered.

With the help of moonlight, I clearly saw the appearance of the attacker.

A huge magic dog, almost exactly the same as the one encountered at the entrance of the Catherine ruins, except... the one in front of me is bigger.

"Montgomery..."

Emily, who was standing behind me, made a trembling voice.

"What?"

"I mean 'Montgomery', you should learn the pronunciation of Common Tongue and Magic Tongue, Neil!"

"Don't complain about me at a time like this, okay! And what the hell is Marley!"

"They said it was Montgomery!"

"The key point is not to keep getting it wrong!"

"It's the family of 'Warren', get it!"

"Isn't that all right!"

I yelled to Emily, and then hugged her with my left hand, while holding the magic scroll that recorded the defensive magic with my right hand.

Either use [Flash], or launch defensive magic.

Anyway, what I have to do now is to persist until the people in the academy notice the movement here.

[It shouldn't take too long, right? ] I thought so.
