MEMORIZE

I had to look around and feel awkward. The sight of thousands of souls kneeling in unison was a spectacular sight, but a senseless burden. I felt like I had a similar feeling, and I felt that Ansol held my hand tightly.

Fortunately, the awkward time didn't last long. Soon, when the man facing me slowly raised his body, other souls were seen raising their bodies at the same time.

When he stared at the young smiling man again. Suddenly, a wizard approached, and quietly began to chant the spell.

The funeral time was very short. I thought he was just muttering two or three words, but he looked at me with a smile. It was a woman with golden hair who cured my body earlier.

Can you hear me now? Our Savior.

It was then. At the moment I was distracted by the woman, I could hear a clear voice.

I was very surprised at the moment, but I could understand the situation right away. The fact that the spell she just memorized is a kind of translation magic.

As he nodded calmly, the man continued with a bright face.

- Thank you. Savior, we are....

"There seems to be some misunderstanding. We are not what you think we are, the saviors."

Despite his deliberate interruption, there was no sign of discomfort in the man. Rather, he looks even more smiling and shakes his head from side to side.

- No, that's right. He purified us who had been dyed in darkness, and freed our aimless wandering souls for thousands of years. He led us to the path of light who had been abandoned. Therefore, he is our savior for sure.

I must have been so ashamed of that horse that I hid behind my back.

I looked down at Ansol in a new mood, recalling the man's words. This is because Ansol's true name was the one who guided the light.

Soon after, the man, who had been giving endless warm eyes, closed his eyes quietly.

How the hell am I supposed to repay you for this?.

I stared away at the equipment worn by the spirits. All of the equipment that looks unusual is that it has regained its clean appearance.

In my opinion, I wanted to tell you that you can leave your equipment behind. Can you leave your equipment behind?

But behind his back, "You don't have to pay me back…"A crawling voice came out, just smacking my lips.

"Then, I have a question. Could you please answer?”

Of course. Whatever you say, I swear in the name of God that I will do my best to tell you.

No. I know you appreciate it, but please stop. If you say it like that, it feels like you have to ask something that's amazing and cool.

In fact, I was going to ask a trivial question, so I grumbled inside and opened my mouth.

"The reason we came into this mountain range is because we came in looking for people. Recently, more people have been missing for no reason in this mountain range, and some of them know us. Eventually, it came to this fortress...Can you tell me where they are, or what happened to them?"

As soon as I brought it up, Lee Chae brushed against the eyes of goodwill. Soon, the man, who showed signs of seriousness, opened his mouth in a gentle voice.

Oh, if that's the case...I know. I think it was probably done by my old colleagues who went out of the fortress.

"Old colleagues…?”

It's been thousands of years since we've been trapped in this fort. No matter how noble your personality is in your life, you can't last forever in the face of the passing years. We were aware of that, but we just sat on our hands. I don't know how to apologize.

"Then…."

The man, who smiled for a moment, soon opened his mouth in a polite, neat voice.

First of all, I can assure you that they are asleep underground in this fortress, and some of them are alive. And also a way to save them.

Although the word "part" bothered me a little, I could see that Ahn's chances of survival increased. Since we entered the mountain range right after Anhyun disappeared, Anhyun must have entered the fortress relatively recently.

I opened my mouth right away.

"I see, so can you tell us how to get underground and how to save it?”

Of course. But before that....

Suddenly the man shut his mouth. And I thought he looked at me carefully, and soon he continued in a quiet voice.

- It won't take long. So for a moment, my...No, could you please listen to us?

The following man's words were a story, but in a way, they could be seen as explanations.

Of course, I was curious about the story after Magnakarta collapsed, so I could hear it in a very interesting mood.

The curse of Magnakarta. It wasn't a curse, it was a curse.

One curse, as expected, was a curse around the mountain range.

To put it simply speaking. It is said that the spirit of the curse has a kind of taboo that cannot escape from this mountain range, and it seems to have achieved the field effect by mixing it with the spirit's

And the rest of the curse was unexpectedly a curse of prophecy.

Magnakarta, the end dragon, is said to have left a prophecy to the great hero just before his death.

"Now this is how it is lost, but I and this prophecy never goes away. I'll let none of the humans here, even unknowingly, leave my strength behind. Yeah, you can do whatever you want for the time being. But one day, even among your descendants, a man who connects my power and my wind appears. The moment the apocalypse seeds sprout! Then the world will be in chaos again. So, until then, let's try to struggle as much as we want. Hahahahaha!'

A curse that never disappears, but that comes close to a prophecy that will come true one day.

Humans who had barely finished fighting had to face a new phase. Even though the battle was over, the mountain range was swamped with curses.

Still, although the ends were dented, humans did not let go of hope. Thinking that there might be a way, they remained in the fortress and focused on how to lift the curse.

Then one day, the great hero who led the battle of the mountains announced a message. Humans, who thought they had finally found a way to lift the curse, gathered in one place and waited for the great hero.

And finally the great hero appeared. The humans, who thought they would be able to go back soon, stared at their commanders with full anticipation.

But the first thing the great hero said was an apology.

Everyone, I'm sorry.

Human beings were bound to be very confused by the sudden apology. And to the embarrassed humans, the hero gave a detailed account of what he had been doing.

The gist is that at the end of the day, Magnakarta found a way to prevent the curse.

In other words, we don't know which human being inherited the power and wind of Magnakarta. Therefore, if we leave the mountain range like this, it can cause chaos in the future, so we should not go outside.

In other words, the way to stop the curse was the unconditional sacrifice of the humans who participated in the battle of the mountains and survived.

- By the time she had finished everything, she had already finished everything. After he finished his speech, he offered us an apology again, and he used that method without giving us any time to relaxation. That method meant our death and eternal bondage.

"That's the way to....”

- Aspirations of a great hero. It was the method of using a tombstone of aspiration.

"A stele of aspiration?"

- Yes. Aspirational tombstone. It is a way to construct a magic camp with seven tombstones containing fragments of God and borrow the power of Ganesha, the goddess of language and wisdom. If the wish is considered reasonable, the triggered human being can achieve any wish.

"…Does that make sense? If that were the case, there would have been a way to remove the curse with that power. Or we can deal with it in a way that asks us to know who the prophecy is....”

Now it seems a little understandable, but on the other hand, my head is tilted.

The great hero tried to stop the curse of Magnakarta.

But the only way to think is to take everyone's life because you don't know who the dragon's power and wind are? And fearing that the souls of the prophets might flow out, they accepted the curse of the dragon and kept the spirits from leaving these mountains?

I don't know what a tombstone of aspiration is, but I really don't understand that you thought that much with that great power.

Anyway, according to this statement, humans were playing with Magnakarta's tricks. It has caused human beings to suffer no matter what they choose.

However, it is only different whether the targets are humans who survived the battle of the mountain range or their descendants in the future. In the end, Magnacarta succeeded in avenging humans in some way.

The man smiled and opened his mouth to see if he had noticed that.

- That's right. That's the right idea. But as far as I know, there are several conditions for a wish to come true. And I don't think she would have thought of that. I think there's probably a good reason for not practicing the idea…Oh, of course, that doesn't mean we understand her. Although I was prepared to die as I entered the mountain range, I wanted to return to the home of my heart when I died. Some wanted to return to the arms of their families, and some wanted to go to the side of their gods. I never wanted to be a miserable specter to death.

The man finally finished his long speech. Then he looked up at the sky with a slight sigh. For the first time, I felt emptiness and sadness coming out of such a man's face or voice.

Thousands of years. It's been a tough time. It was really terrible. We struggled to lift the curse somehow in death, but in the end, there was nothing we could do on our own. All I could do was write down a complaint or rely on someone else's power to come here. But no one came to see me. Hah, hah, hah.

Ha-ha, you couldn't have come in because the curse was on you.

I thought I could understand a little bit of the souls' feelings. In a situation where there is no dream or hope. No, if I had become like them when I tasted despair just before I tasted hope, I would not be able to stay sane.

The man, who soon lowered his gaze again, laughed despondently. Then he glanced at the wall where he was standing. The white walls had already been slightly burned.

I'm sorry. I told you it won't take long, but it's longer than I thought.

"No, I'm fine. Listening to you, I fully understand your situation. Personally... I'd like to show my respect."

The man opened his eyes wide for a moment. Then he smiled shyly and said,

Haha, I've never heard of it from anyone else.I feel a little strange. I feel like I'm being rewarded.

"I think I deserve it."

No, but thank you for saying that. Oh, now I'll give you the answer to what you said earlier. First of all, none of the people you mentioned is sleeping underground in this fortress. It's where we last met a great hero.

"It must have been quite unfair."

As he lightly threw the horse, the man scratched his head awkwardly.

- I'm afraid... Back then, normal thinking was impossible. While some of us gave up and were buried quietly, some of us would now roam the mountains like a habit. Still, I'm glad to hear that. I understand that sometimes the spirit of a severely corrupted colleague attempted to take away the human body, but there seems to be no such person here.

Suddenly, I heard Hangyeol coughing in vain. I turned to the next topic, considering it was not a matter to rise to the surface.

"I see. So can you tell me how to get underground and how to revive it?"

- Well, there's a place where it's not appropriate for a living person to go, but there's a good way. I don't know why, but Magnakarta suddenly revived and broke through the ground. The place is on B1 of this fortress. We've sealed Magnakarta on the second basement floor, so you'll be able to get in quite easily if you get through the hole. And...

The man, who stopped talking for a moment, drew the woman with golden hair next to him and showed me.

- It is simple to reverse. If you're alive, you can save them all with this friend's ability.

The woman was the one who cast a time-traveling spell on me earlier. At once I understood how to save it, I nodded right away.

"Okay, I've heard everything we want. Now that you don't have to pay any more attention, why don't you put your luggage down?"

Which means, stop ascending to heaven.

As soon as he was told, the man smiled brightly.

It was then.

- Please wait a moment.

There's something I'd like to say.

As soon as I was about to think that it was over, the two souls emerged behind the man. Both spirits had beautiful figures of women, one in silver-glowing Valkyrie armor and the other in neat ladylike attire.

Suddenly, the two of them looked familiar.

I'm sorry to interrupt, but could I speak to him for a moment?

I'd like to have a word with him.

The man took turns looking at the two and quickly turned his head to look at me. I also nodded for a moment, but nodded reflexively. Because I didn't think it was going to hurt.

Soon as I saw the two women passing by me with welcoming faces, I could see them stopping at Cha So-rim and Hannah, who were standing quietly.

Then I'll ask you. Aren't you the sister of Arcus who serves Flavius?

Are you, by any chance, the successor to the lady's progress?

And as soon as I heard them, an idea that suddenly came to my mind crossed my mind.

Come to think of it, Chasolim's class was Arcus Valkiri, and Hannah's class was a twilight lady.

I thought to myself as soon as I saw two Clan One blinking blankly.

'...I got you.'

Aha... I see. I never thought I'd meet my colleagues here...Yes, I'd like to ascend like this, but it's not polite to the one who saved us. Hah, hah, hah.

Then, I heard a clear voice again. As I turned my eyes to the front, I could see the spirit slowly approaching me and Ansol.

The man bowed his head toward me, approached Ansol and calmly knelt down on one knee.

"Well, you don't have to…I don't need anything...Just... take a rest now....”

Ansol muttered in a mosquito-like voice, but the man replied by shaking his head.

- I can't do that. Surely, thanks to the Savior, all the curses that had been hanging over us have been lifted, but in the end, it is also in debt.

Ansol murmured again.

"It's all right..”

- Haha. No. This is also for us. We had so many thoughts and regrets while we were in this mountain range. There was a time when I hated all human beings, including great heroes. If we go up to heaven and forget the grace saved, we will eventually be no different. We want to regain our faith, too.

Did he think he couldn't communicate anymore? Ansol gently raised his head and asked for help. But I just shrugged. I meant it was up to you.

Come on, Chaeng!

Soon after, a sword was heard in the man's hand with clear sword sound. He politely grabbed the sword and slowly raised it up in front of Ansol, as if he were sworn in as a knight.

Then a moment later, the man quietly opened his mouth.

I mean, like you saved us....

"Oh, no..."

Ansol waved his hands with a puzzled face.

But regardless, the man looked up with a soft smile.

Would you please give us one chance to save you and your precious person?

============================ Review of the work ============================

Did you all have a good Lunar New Year's Day? First of all, let's give a round of applause to the fathers who had a hard time driving! Let's give a round of applause to our mothers who had a hard time making New Year's food. Hahaha!

I've been having a lot of fun. I received good news that my cousin's eldest sister was born on schedule at dawn, and I went to my mother's house and met my relatives after a long time. I think I ate a lot of delicious food and slept a lot. :D

It's past Lunar New Year's Day, and it's the month of February. Personally, I've made an important plan for this year, so I'm already excited. Whoo.

Oh. I have a question for the readers. If you happen to be one of the clan members of the novel's "Majority." If you had a tombstone in front of you, what would you say? I hope there's an interesting idea. :D

PS. Compensation, by number, is not even half the price yet.
