Chapter 185 185 Yazniyans
[Lucy's POV: ]
<Okay nyaaa… so you are saying the two of them are your familiars, right? And that the two of them are also divine creatures that were once trapped in an empty realm and since you were transported there accidentally by the summoning circle, you bonded with them, nay?
And, not just that, the two of them used to be very famous beings. What were their 'famous' names then? Let's see if I have heard of them, nay…>
He had calmed down, tsk. I was just starting to have fun seeing that shocked painful look on him.
"Yes. They are amazing. And though we had never heard of them before, let me do the proper introduction now that you have calmed down."
There was still that ribbon wrapped around his white neck and she was still holding him. There were suspicions in his eyes and he didn't like how there was another cometation before him now, but Cary on the other hand was finding this little kitten pretty attractive.
[[ You are a Yazniyan, aren't you little kitty? ]]
"Ohh~? My little dumb Cary knows Raz's homeland~?"
[[ It would be shocking if one did not know them. The Yazniyans were the descendants of one of the Supernovas in charge of the trade that was a necessity all around the early Worldline.
One had many acquaintances among one's kind however, thanks to one's knowledge and wish for the truth, some of them had joined one and, when the 'first Great War' happened, many of them were a great assistance to one's side.
They were respected warriors, great merchants, and amazing comrades to whom one owes a great debt.
One wants to ask the descendant of the great Yazniyans… how are they doing? Is <<Lancer of western dawn>> still among us? ]]
[[ Oho? Roxanna knew Joseph? His great-uncle was a friend of mine. ]]
[[ Haha, one had heard about Cary from his father for the first time back in the days… those times… haaaa… now it all seems too distant. ]]
<Of course it would seem too distant… the people you are talking about have passed away three 'reformas' ago. They were my great, great ancestors from what my great-grandmother had told me, however, none of that matters now…>
There were tears in his eyes when he heard them talking about his homeland and his ancestors however, as Cary and Anna continued talking about the things he had long buried deep under countless other memories, the tears grew denser and more uncontrollable.
And, when he replied to them, the tears had become too heavy to stay limited to his eyes, and, started sliding down to his white fur-covered cheeks.
'Black tears flowing from his black eyes filled with stars… they were his genuine tears, tears of a being that was the last survivor of his kind.'
The two of them must have been trapped in that realm for far too long if three complete reformations had passed according to Raz.
It was a time that couldn't be put into simple numbers, not even the longest measurement of time we have wouldn't be able to perfectly measure that period since what we were calling 'reformation' in this context, referred to the process of the entire Worldline being dismantled by the central brain and reformed once again from the base to the very end of its interface.
Aside from the Offspring and a few special beings of the worldline, no one would know about these reformations but Raz was one of those special beings who was considered the last of his kind's survivors, who was only alive because of his specialness.
Anyway, his tears were something precious so, El first gathered them in a special container she had prepared long ago for this certain, unavoidable moment, and after gathering all of it in it, she quickly stored it back and, kissed his forehead.
"The Yaznaya that you know of… was destroyed six cycles ago. It was completely terminated by the leaders of the current Inheritors, and, we have promised to help him avenge his people, his kind, his family… his everything."
Her words sparked a great shock in both their eyes and Cary's mouth was even left open completely.
He couldn't believe her words, they were absurd to begin with.
[[ The Yazniyans? Destroyed? Terminated completely?! What are you saying, master?! How is that even possible?! And why would they do it in the first place? ]]
"Because in the last Great War, the Emissaries lost completely one-sidedly and because of the influence of some of the crazy ones from the opposite factions, a mass cleanup started where not just Yazniyans but Opelier Kha?ts, ìoloyts, and Freizerplups were wiped out completely.
Their actions certainly caused a great disturbance in stability, of course, but, the Inheritors compensated for the loss of balance by the creation of new kinds that could take their place, and, thanks to all that shit, twelve Myths were written, and twenty-four Epics were heard throughout the Twenty-one prefectures of the Worldline.
To make things even more shittier, they divided the 18th prefecture into four different parts, dividing the Worldline into a total of twenty-four prefectures in total.
We are in one of those divided parts right now, in a small world that is under some of the lower ranked 'Inheritors', twelve in total… and, all the twelve of them are praised as gods by the fucking [Temple of Heavenly Glory], that's currently run by the bastard Pope, their representative."
The reason the pope and the whole religious factor of this world would be a huge obstacle in our plans was exactly because of this.
'We had to help Raz fulfill his mission, and to do that, we will first have to make enemies out of all the higher-ups of the Inheritors, to do which, we will have to first kill these gods… which would be impossible to do anytime soon, so, we would be going with an alternative to fuck over these nine gods.'
But to do that, we will have to amass enough political, economic, and military power to go against the Pope himself, to do this, we will have to first establish a country and religion of our own.
That was the basic plan and all, but, since Cary and Anna knew about Raz now, El continued and told the three of them our future plans and missions and goals and things that the three of them must know as the closest beings to the two of us.
She was caressing the crying kitten while hugging him gently, and kissing his little head in the process… and the bastard was enjoying it all.
'How I wish to smack the heavens out of this bastard, haaa…'
His original cute kitten form that only we know of was good and all but it was not the form the world and others knew him as.
He was the 'Merchant ruler of the dark', a being that had influence all over the Worldline. And, he was a mysterious figure that aside from his very close customers, no one knew anything about.
Some feared him, some loathed him, and some respected him, but still, not even his closest associates knew much about him personally.
He was a mystery to others, but, to us…
<Nyaaaa. Sniff. Sniff! I see. The two of them are <<Eternal Chaos of the present>> and <<First light of the beginning>>. I see, Nya. I have never heard of them, which means they are indeed some of the earlier ones whose existence was erased a long time ago.
Nya, I understand this much, but, nya, the two of you are definitely something else for having beings like them as your familiars.
They are divine creatures and powerful ones at that.
I can tell even without being able to see the status windows that they are unfathomable even with their limited abilities.
They certainly are amazing nya, certainly are amazing…>
Raz looked at Cary and Anna with an apologetic gaze and then looked back at El with an expression she had been waiting for quite a while now.
"Don't try something so dangerous again. You could have been hurt badly if they hadn't known you are our family member."
<Yes, nya. I was just afraid they were some unexpected creature like that corruption we saw the last time I was here.
I thought something had happened to you but since the video we shot in the labyrinth turned out better than I had expected, it became difficult for me to manage everything on my own.
You two became too famous too quickly, nya. Especially Lucy.
He got his first title as I can see… and the second unique title for the familiars. Nya.
I was just stunned shocked surprised for a moment, but, thanks to you, I am alright now.>
She released the ribbon tied around his neck and he jumped down from her hand, onto the couch where Cary and Anna were sitting by themselves.
<I apologize. It was a mistake on my end and I should have evaluated the situation more thoroughly.
I believe you will find it in yourself to forgive my mistakes this once, I will do my best to reflect on them and learn from them.>
[[ It's fine… you are still young and even older people make mistakes. Besides, if you are from the same tribe as my old friend, helping you with your goal would be something I must do to ultimately repay my debt to him. ]]
[[ One forgives the little one as well. Please count on us if you need one's help with anything. One will make sure to help the little one with whatever one needs. ]]
The two beings that used to be one of the most powerful beings of this Worldline were offering him help, and, as someone who knew how to use everything at his disposal, he knew how to use that help from of them.
<Then, nya, could you please…>
Though they couldn't offer many physical things, just some important information from these two old and wise beings would be critically helpful to some of his crucial plans, and, he would never have that priceless information for free.
Help was one thing but, his values wouldn't allow him to have something so precious for free… so, in exchange for the useful information, he would give us something.
'Which is appreciated as well. And, since El will do her first summons bonding process after their little chat was done, she knew exactly what she wanted from him.'
I don't know what she is planning right now, but whatever it is… is certainly something beyond my imagination.
But that was something for later.
"Alright then. Now that the three of them are chatting, let's see what the hell is inside this damn box."
She got it in a labyrinth that not many humans should have entered before us, and it was something with the insignia of the current pope so, it certainly isn't more than a three-hundred-year-old thing.
'There was something suspicious about this item since we had never seen this in the game so, this certainly was something special, and important.'
-Oooooooooooong!
"Wow…"
"Fuck…"
<Damn, nya…>
[[ Now this… is surprising. ]]
[[ One couldn't have thought one would see such fine craftsmanship in this small world. ]]
However, the things that popped out of the storage safe made from dwarven technology, were certainly even beyond my own imagination…
