Vol 6: Chapter 10 (1)

Revoking the Covenant

Everyone’s attention was gathered on El-san. The conference hall was completely silent

「At present, the two worlds that look exactly like each other exist separately.」

A blackboard was carried into the hall prior. El-san drew two circles on it with chalk.

He labelled them with “Us” and “Them”.

「Although it may be called a fusion, it is not like opening a gate. Eh, it is different from the Red Gate that appeared in the Lev Magic Empire a while ago.」

Next, El-san drew another two circles—which were drawn on top of each other.

And he labelled the circle “Us/ Them”.

「The union of the world is like superimposing things of the same shape. Eh, from our point of view, the people of that world would suddenly seem to appear in front of us, and for the people of that world, it would feel as if we suddenly appeared in front of them.」

「Isn’t it just like doubling the population?」Duke Grenjido asked.

El-san nodded in response.

「Since every life will be doubled, there will be no shortage of food — for a while. However, eh, does everyone here know about【Eight Elemental Magic】?」

El-san wrote “Life x 2” under the double circle, and “Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Lightning, Flower, Light, Darkness” under it.

「These are the basis of the world, and even if the two worlds became one, the total amount will not change.」

He then added “x1” to that list.

「The earth, the sky, and the sea will not change… Then what about the trees?」Duke Grenjido asked.

「Perhaps only the ones with stronger vitality will remain. Eh, Reiji-dono over there who has actually seen this other world said that it’s pretty rough over there.」

Everyone turned towards me.

……I’ll feel nervous if everyone suddenly starts looking at me.

「By strengthening buildings and forts with【Earth Magic】, it should become stronger than the vegetation in that world, eh, but it is quite possible that forests might appear in parts of the city which are not strengthened.」El-san said.

「What if we strengthen the entire city with【Earth Magic】?」Duke Grenjido asked on behalf of everyone.

「In that case, the outline of the city will be preserved. Unless【Earth Magic】is used in that world as well.」

「Then, this is the highest priority.」

「Eh, as you say.」

Church officials wrote down the points in a hurry. In order to convey this to the members participating in the World Conference.

No matter how much the defences are strengthened, it would be pointless if it was eaten from the inside…… Eh? Wait a minute.

「E-Excuse me. By any chance, will the life forms in the other world appear at the same coordinates in this world – in the same corresponding place?」I asked reflexively.

「Eh, as you say.」El-san nodded.

「In other words, monsters may appear in the city or in the castle?」I asked.

「It’s quite possible. Rather, I think it’s better to think on the premise that they will appear there.」Duke Grenjido answered, instead.

…To think he had thought that far ahead.

Commotion spread through the conference hall.

「For example, let’s say you cast【Earth Magic】firmly on one building. In that case, where will the monster appear?」

「Eh, it’s not limited to monsters, but casting【Earth Magic】——or any of the other elemental magic, to put it simply, will make it “a part of the earth”. Eh, monsters and other things probably won’t appear indoors.」

「Will they appear on the roof then?」

「Eh, as you say. But it’s still just a guess.」

「But still, it’s better to cast the magic than not to.」

Many nodded in agreement to the Duke’s words. But Holiday quietly raised his hand.

「By the way, you haven’t talked about the skill orbs yet.」

「Eh, as you say. First of all, as you all know, the union of the world is described in the ”Covenant”. “Skill Orbs”, “Pledgers” and “Mediator” which constitute the “Covenant” are expected to disappear with the end of their role after the union of the world.」

「Then, the skill orbs distributed by the Sylvis Kingdom were meaningless.」Holiday said.

「They are not.」

「…Hmm?」

「If you take it into your body and it becomes a “skill”, not a “skill orb”.」

「Isn’t it just sophistry?」

「No. The Covenant clearly states “Skill Orb”, not “Skill”.」

「In other words, it’s better to have all the skill orbs absorbed without having any left over.」

「Eh, as you say.」

Church officials furiously wrote down that point.

This is also information of the utmost importance.

「But what is the guarantee that it is true?」

「There is no guarantee. Eh, this is all speculation. The world has never been united into one after it was split into two. However, the goddess who divided the world must have also considered how to return the world to its original state. At that time, even if the “Skill Orbs”, “Pledgers”, and “Mediators” that make up the worlds disappeared, the goddess must have known that it would cause a big problem if even skills disappeared.」

「Even if the skill remains, it will disappear if the owner dies, right? And skills can no longer be taken out.」

「Eh, as you say. And that is fine… I am sure you know that better than anyone.」

Holiday burst into laughter in response to El-san’s words.

「That’s right. In other words, the future that I, no, my country wishes for, will come.」

I see… Representative Holiday is aiming for “a country that does not rely on skill orbs.”

Even if the skill orbs disappear, skills will still remain. However, those skills will only last for one generation.

The world is being forced to become a “world that does not rely on skill orbs”.

「Representative Holiday seems to already know El-san prior to this meeting.」I whispered to Earl Sillys.

「Priest El has outstanding knowledge regarding the Covenant on the global stage. He has met with each Pledger to talk about the Covenant.」

So that is why everyone is listening seriously to what El-san says.

Although research on skills and skill orbs is popular, there is not much benefit in researching the Covenant. So it seems that there are not many specialists other than El-san.

「Who is El-san actually?」I asked.

「Hmm. That is something not easily conveyed.」

「……I see.」

The mystery just deepens.

And he seems to have lived for a very long time.

「Eh, if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate. It is time to show off the results of my long-term research, so I am willing to share everything in my brain.」

El-san said, with a finger pointed to his head. He seemed mysteriously dignified at that moment.
