Volume 5 Chapter 57, Part 2 If You Don't Understand, You Can Just Ask Someone Who Knows
"...Do you know?"
Randy looked at Liz, tilting his head, and Ellie appeared, snorting, saying, "I don't know."
"They say, 'The disturbances in the world are signs of the great being's revival; this is the truth of the world,' and they get in the way of the protagonists on their journey."
Catherine explained that soon in the main game, beasts would become aggressive as Eleonora's revival approached, and unsettling events would start to occur around the world.
For example, the rebellion of the Marquis family and the changes in the Church are, according to them, 'signs of revival.'
(Well, since Liz was exiled and Ellie is hosting her... and His Excellency is causing the rebellion, it might not be wrong to say it's a sign.)
While listening to Catherine's explanation, Randy looked at Ellie again.
"There's no way I would know something like that," Ellie said with a frown.
"I see," Randy nodded.
Ellie had said.
The name of the ancient magician Eleonora could be problematic depending on the time and place.
That's why they gave her a nickname.
Ellie likely warned due to her relationship with the Church, but it seems her name and achievements remained outside the Church as well.
They must have obtained that information somewhere and began to act, claiming that Ellie's revival is the truth of the world.
(No... perhaps there is a possibility of a fanatic for that.)
Randy recalled the man who executed Ellie.
If that man is the sealed ancient king, the possibility is not 0.
After all, their goal is the 'revival of the great being.'
However, it is unclear what purpose these fanatics have in the Marquis Waldner territory.
"For now, what I understand is just the opponent's name and that they are insane... maybe."
Catherine showed a look of disbelief at Randy's statement, saying, "Insane?"
"And there are many things we don't understand... too."
With a sigh, Cedric said, "Well, that's true," and Randy nodded.
In fact, they knew nothing about the scale or purpose of those people.
Whether their true goal is the 'revival of the great being' or how deeply they are hiding in Waldner is also unknown.
That's why Rolf conducted information exchange in a dining format.
He shut out most of the servants to talk only with those he could completely trust.
If you think about it, that meeting was Rolf's tactic, and at the same time, it was a way to judge if Randy and the others could be easily brainwashed.
"I wonder how many enemies are hiding in this castle..."
At Cedric's words, the women clearly stiffened.
The possibility of spending the night right in the middle of enemy territory had emerged.
Thinking about it that way, it makes sense that Airen called the maid and sent Liz and the others to the bath.
After all, the maids in charge of the bath were the same ones who were in that dining hall.
They were definitely the ones Airen trusted.
So, at that timing, they were probably thrown into the bath when they were most defenseless.
Moreover, all of them together.
Reliable maids and Miranda, the bodyguard recognized by Airen.
It's also a move to ensure safety.
"Seriously... at this rate, I can't even sleep peacefully."
Randy stood up from the bed and looked back at Harrison, who stood up in the same way.
"You go right, I'll go left... how about that?"
"Okay. More importantly, can you really see through this, young amster?"
With a teasing smile, Harrison made Randy snort, saying, "Don't underestimate me."
"No way. I totally remember getting punched, and I'm just fine!"
"What are you talking about from years ago? I've grown a lot since then."
Harrison continued to smile as Randy pouted.
"...Um... what exactly are we going to do, young master?"
Cedric looked between Randy and Harrison with a wry smile, and Randy exchanged glances with Harrison, saying, "What do you mean..."
"They're being brainwashed, right? Then shouldn't we find them and capture them?"
At Harrison's perplexed face, Cedric raised his voice in disbelief, "Huh?"
"Can we even do that?"
"It's not about whether we can or not..."
Receiving Harrison's gaze, Randy nodded vigorously.
"It's a must-have skill in Victor. In the Beast Forest, there are troublesome beasts that use charms and mind control."
Randy stood tall, but...
"I got hit even though I'm fine."
...Harrison was spilling old secrets about him.
"Interesting. Should we see through the brainwashing and capture them?"
Ellie murmured, standing right next to Randy, saying, "I will go too."
"Do you understand?"
"Don't underestimate me. There are ways to see through it from a magic perspective."
Ellie nodded proudly, but Catherine shook her head, indicating it wasn't an easy technique.
"Well, whatever. Don't stray from me."
"What are you flirting about! Do it properly!"
Randy led Ellie, while Harrison pouted.
The 3 scattered into the quiet castle.
After a while, Cedric felt a slight headache upon hearing the news that the 3 had captured 4 men and women.
