Chapter 152
TL: Zimming
There are two truths I learned as a beggar. First, ‘The person who gave food to starvation appears to be a god.’ I gave the nymphs peanuts and almonds, also all the dried fruits and vegetables in the carriage, as if I was a saint.
“Adventurer, our comrade.”
“Our friends.”
“Adventurer!”
“Adventurer!”
The nymphs with full stomachs were very hospitable. More than their master.
Well, it was normal.
What the nymphs wanted was to enter the world without falling asleep.
According to the little nymph, when it was asleep, it seemed to be alone in the vast darkness. That’s probably why it cares so much about fellow nymphs it met when it woke up.
I helped their master be released from eternal suffering. I also gave them food. I must’ve looked so gracious.
The plump nymphs picked up a bunch of blunt stones from the mountain.
And the nymphs purified it, but not all nymphs could purify it.
Only the little nymphs, and the female nymphs, were able to refine everything in the mountain into suwon.
I nodded inward as I watched the nymphs purify.
‘They didn’t lock them in a cave to protect their cub and weak body.’
They were considered superior because they were nymphs with special powers. As if they were a noble.
I was astonished as I watched the piled-up blue chalcedonia, and looked back at the nymphs.
‘My lucky stars.’
“Ogugu, Eat a lot. You did a good job.”
While I was patting the little nymph on the back, Henry looked at the suwon with his eyes wide open.
“Why?”
“……why can’t I use the magic tools yet?”
“That’s because the nymphs didn’t ‘authorize’ it.”
When Isaac answered, Henry shook his head lightly.
“Isn’t that weird?”
“What are you talking about?”
“It’s not an individual’s mana, yet we can’t use magic tools. Magic tools don’t disappear just because you block the vents, like human power. How can you allow a specific person to use magic tools?”
I took the blue mineral and was lost in thought. Isaac said,
“Well, if you were allowed to use certain magic tools…”
I shook my head with my brows narrowed.
“There were only long-distance teleportation devices I had. They could only allow the use of certain magical tools. How did they figure out which one I use?”
Only then did Isaac understand, turning his head and staring at the nymphs who were still absorbed in peanuts.
“Yes, it’s not possible. How did they do that?”
The activation of magic tools basically goes through this process.
1. Invoke the formula in the medium with a barrier.
2. The calculation formula is combined with the magic power inside the medium.
3. Start.
No mana is involved here, so the only way to specifically prevent an individual from using magic tools is to physically prevent them from starting or operating.
I quickly ran to the old nymph chewing on almonds and shook his shoulder.
“How do you authorize the magic tools to work? Huh?”
“I, I don’t. It cannot be used in the home of God.”
“Is this the only place you can’t use it?”
“Anything that doubles the power of God is wrong. We, nymphs, have been given the permission to stop the activation of the wrong gods.”
I still couldn’t understand, I got frustrated and pounded my chest. Then Purpur, who was lying on his stomach with a look of anger, said,
[You’re wrong from the beginning.You humans are fools too bound by common sense. Even if it’s wrong common sense.]
“Wrong common sense?”
[Humans use mana when they activate magic tools.]
“No way!”
Henry and Isaac, who didn’t understand our conversation, looked puzzled as I burst out.
[What doesn’t make sense is you humans who think they can’t unleash mana unless you have divine power.]
“You mean that we can eject mana even though we have no divine power?”
[ Heh, still being swayed by the temple’s trick. Ancient humans would hit the ground if they heard it. Humans can unleash manna. Only a special human being can turn it into a special mana, that is divine power!]
“Then the nymphs…….”
I muttered blankly and Purpur answered, twitching his nose.
[You humans do it when you use magic tools. You just don’t realize even though it’s obvious like you’re breathing. The nymphs blocked the mana spurt!]
I hardened and looked at Purpur. A lot of things were tangled in my mind.
“Kid.”
“Leblaine?”
I was chosen as a sacrifice to seal off evil spirits because I had the same divine power as Mina.
Instead of Mina, who had to be eaten by evil spirits in the original sealing ceremony, I was sacrificed.
If Purpur’s words were true, there was no reason for me to be chosen as a sacrifice because I could gather mana and turn it into Mina’s divine power.
‘Then why did I have to die in my first life.’
I bit my lip, remembering the pain of being sacrificed.
I calmed down when I thought of myself in my first life, I had my blood pour out of every holes all over my body. It hurt so bad that I begged them to kill me or cut my throat quickly.
‘……Wait a minute.’
[Mina is amazing. Such a rapid increase in divine power. There’s no case like this.]
[She’s amazing. Isn’t that why she’s the child of fate?]
How was Mina able to increase her divine power so quickly?
I am well aware that it was impossible since I trained since I was young to increase my divine power.
That fast, powerful increase was absolutely impossible.
So I thought it was the power of Adrian.
Adrian was a man of immense divine power and had a very special power to give his divine power to others. That’s why I thought he might have supported Mina from behind.
“Ex, excuse me!”
“Yes, Leblaine. What’s going on?”
“Mi, Mina, can you do me a favor? Can you tell me how to increase my divine power? Oh, no, of course you’re busy, but if you don’t mind…….”
“Ah… … I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I made a promise to that person. I decided not to tell anyone how to train”
“I see…….”
“Don’t be so sad. Leblaine, you’re doing well enough now. I know how hard you’re working for the people here.”
“T,thank you…….”
“I’m very proud of you.”
The way of training.
That person.
I gritted my teeth.
The temple* didn’t even know that all humans could unleash manna.
Had the temple known that, it would be possible for the current pope to lose authority.
*TL Note: I changed the church to temple
‘Purpur told them. To those who came to find suwon!’
The puzzles that have been messy in my head have been put together by myself.
Nodelli, who has a warrior record, found Suwon, and summoned Purpur through the record.
‘Nodelli already knew Purpur’s name.’
Otherwise, Mina, who has no idea of the devil, could not have known his name. Nodelli and Marche must have helped her.
However, since there were no adventurers at the time, Nymph was still asleep, so Nodelli and Marche created a fake one.
I grabbed my skirt tightly.
“When you wake up, everything in this mountain, like the nymphs, stops the eruption of mana?”
[Yes, more powerful than the nymphs. I am a great being!]
Purpur replied proudly.
I let out a laugh.
“Leblaine?”
“What did you hear that made you become this pale?!”
Isaac pressed my cheeks with both hands and asked anxiously.
‘Marche and Nodelli knew that mana could also create divine power.’
Then, why did they sacrifice a poor little girl on the altar? Why did I have to die.
‘Dead? No, I was murdered.’
“F, father, please save me! Mina, please!”
I remembered the me in my first life, when I cried and begged.
“The Duke of Marche killed me in my first life.”
I blankly looked back at Henry and Isaac as they hardened.
“What?”
“What are you talking about, kid?”
“Every human being has manna. Mina was able to turn mana into a divine power. I had no reason to die as a sacrifice!”
Henry grabbed me by the shoulder as I trembled with anger.
“Calm down.”
“At that time I was just a powerless and pitiful girl, Duke Marche, and Mina…….”
“Leblaine!”
I looked at him, swallowing the sorrow inside me. Henry said, clenching my hand tightly with warm hands.
“Think rationally. There’s something we don’t know.”
“…….”
“It’s only for you who’ve been through it all. What’s important here is why? Why would they have to kill you if they knew?”
I shut my mouth with trembling hands.
The reason why I had to die.
The reason they killed me.
Fumbling through my head, I grabbed Henry’s arm..
“There is, for one reason.”
