Chapter 79: Object

We stayed at Khalifas house that day, after the other three fell asleep I laid awake staring at the ceiling. I thought about the story if the 5 adventurers.

Why did Khalifa forget?

Because he did that.

Khalifa told me that Zephyr had been able to erase memories, that it was magic from Adams grimoire.

In here theres one spell for oblivion and memory directionits a two in one.

A two in one?

The magic allows you to set a key then erase someones memory, if you give them the key their memories will return.

In other words waiting on the hill, and the third drawer was the key to your memories.

Seems like it.

Lord Nito, could I have a moment?

Sufilia asked.

Do you know of the dark lands Sigma Deus?

Whats that?

Its the God lands that we were just talking about. Although the name has changed and its being ruled by a new king.

New king?

The kings name hasnt been announced, its a mystery even inside the dark lands.

Youre well informed.

Thank you, but thats not all.

Theres more?

Yes, do you know the name of the new king crowned in Greyberg?

Patrick said something about it.

Arthur Greyberg, but thats not what I wanted to say.

What is it?

Guinevere.

Guinevere?

Thats the name of the kings daughter.

But thats not an uncommon name is it?

Its an old name, its not used anymore.

Is it that Guinevere? Why is she in Greyberg? No, no matter how much I try its not possible to think of her as the same Guinevere.

It was more than 150 years ago, its not possible for it to be the same person. By the way Khalifa, that happened in the dungeon? Zephyr bought a lot of old gert and I happened to find quite a lot in the dungeon I got lost in before.

Youll have to see for yourself. The truth should be in the back of the dungeon. Youre going to challenge it arent you?

Khalifa seemed to see through something.

*

When I opened my eyes I seemed to be in a sea of clouds.

This is

I looked around seeing the same temple as last time.

Sorry for calling you here.

Shawn isnt here to welcome me this time, Zephyr.

The revenge God Zephyr was here like last time but no Shawn.

Shawn has already passed on. His life was over but he clung to an existence here, although he reached his limit.

I didnt understand what he was saying.

I see, you havent gotten that much information yet.

Information? What are you talking about?

Zephyr didnt answer.

More importantly I met Khalifa.

Zephyr looked surprised but he gradually began to seem as if he understood something.

I see, so thats what it was.

I said I met Khalifa, did you know?

Yeah, of course. Why?

Why!?

Last time Shawn spoke as if he was watching me, otherwise he couldnt have told me to give the snakesword to Toa.

Can I ask one thing?

Hm?

Youre watching me arent you? Why didnt you know.

Ah, Im not watching you anymore.

I see.

Instead if you find something important I notice the change.

The change?

Theres all kinds of information inside living things, like experience points thst change daily. I can tell when you have new information. Although my abilities are imperfect so its almost unmanageable.

Does that mean youre using abilities you cant handle or youre more restrained before?

I listened to what Khalifa had to say, what happened in the god lands?

Zephyrs expression grew dark.

I wont say yet.

The same as before? You cant say?

Ill say this, the thoughts and doubts you have about me are correct. I cant leave here.

Well, if you could leave, you would huh.

Thats why, no more questions. I have something important to tell you.

I sighed.

I want you to make an object.

An object?

If you ask Khalifa youll understand, and tell her that part of my body is in the dark lands.

Wait a moment, youre just talking about what ever you want. I dont understand anything.

Wait a moment, youre just talking about whatever you want. I dont understand anything.

Youll have to ask Khalifa about the meaning. Now, after my part, I want you to make one more thing.

One more?

Mine.

I heard a voice from behind a pillar.

You

I remembered this person.

Oliver Joe

Didnt I tell you not to come out?

Im not the type to listen to what people have to say.

Oliver walked slowly over and looked down at me.

I remember you, youre that brat I couldnt feel any magic power from. I didnt think youd be able to kill me so easily.

He smiled fearlessly.

You should have died. Why are you still alive?

Im not alive, can you bring me back?

Oliver, get away from Masamune.

Ok ok.

Masamune, find the answer yourself. You can feel something now.

Feel something? What are you talking about?

The other object is Olivers body. After that ask Khalifa.

Olivers body should be in the forest near Tanya village.

Its time.

The only thing Ive figured out is that Zephyr is dead, it would explain how Oliver is here.

You never answer whats important.

Should I tell you then?

Oliver!

Ok ok, geez cant take a joke.

I suddenly remembered something.

Your wifes name was Anna right?

Olivers glare sent chills down my spine.

What did you just say?

I pretended to remain calm.

Anna is still alive, she went back to the Beast nation.

I heard it from Arnold. The attack was Annas lie to protect you.

I began to feel sleepy.

Masamune, please. Im not finished yet.

The last thing I saw was Olivers upset face.

*

And Zephyr told you this?

Khalifa asked as I took a sip of chocolate milk.

Its fine, well talk while you eat.

Did you know that Zephyr would appear?

Somehow, so what did he say?

I told Khalifa what happened in my dream.

So Shawn is.

Khalifa seemed to be shocked by Shawns death.

What is the object?

Before we talk about that do you know what a living being is made of?

Made of? No?

Living things are the existence and the existences container, the body.

Hhhhhh.

At the end of the life, the existence leaves the body. After that the life information known as cocoon, remains in the body.

Cocoon?

Yes, an object is something that can take the cocoon and create a new body. Unlike restoration magic its precise and can create the body in exactly the same state. Are you with me so far?

Probably. Why would you need such magic?

If his body has perished, he might just be an existence now.

So, hes dead.

Yeah, I dont know what happened but I cant think of anything else.

Can you be revived multiple times if you have an object?

Is this the resurrection magic?

No. The body may be generated in perfect condition but it wont have a cocoon.

I see.

Are cocoons only in the first body?

Do you understand what Im saying?

Yeah, it means if you die you can e back to life once right?

Not quite, the existence usually disappears, so even if theres a new perfect body there, they wont come back to life.

So why is Zephyr

I dont know either.

Is there some trick to keeping the existence around?

By the way, why do you and Zephyr know about objects.

It was in the grimoire.

What you showed me yesterday?

Yeah.

What kind of grimoire is that? I know adams was a person but..

Its a book about the abyss.

Abyss?

Go to the dungeon first.

Khalifa talked over me.

What about challenging the dungeon?

Looking at you like this I can sense your magic power. You should be OK, youre quite strong arent you?

We stopped talking after the other three woke up. Then, after breakfast it was time to go.

Well be back!

Nem waved to Khalifa and Sufilia bowed.

Suddenly I saw the little hill outside town and wondered why Zephyr left Khalifa behind.

Hey arent we going?

Yeah. Lets go.

Khalifa saw us off from inside the house, she looked lonely.
