Expecting To Fall Into Ruin, I Aim To Become A Blacksmith Chapter 96 (1/2)
Every person has their own past Those were the words that careat person, but I had no idea that he was someone that had been so close to the seat of prime minister There was no way to know that
The story was full of important details Who knew that there were so ht about the Helan territories However, there was so that I wanted to ask first
”Old Moran, do you still care deeply for Harp?”
”…Yes, of course, I do”
”I see…”
That was good
There were s inside ofhis story What Old Moran had ht be able to save this land
”So, Old Moran In other words, you think that I can take on the job that was entrusted to the descendant froend The one that was supposed to arrive three hundred years later?”
”That's very perceptive of you The child from the prophecy that my old friends, Petel and Harp had talked about, is none other than you Really, I can't believe it took this situation, and after I've grown so old, to finally realize that So can blind you, contrary to expectation”
”So, it wasn't too late then… I learned a lot fro that I want you to see Wait here a orated My spirits rose like an overflowing spring I looked for the thing that I needed to show Old Moran
The letter that arrived the other day, and the thing that would become the key
”Look at this”
I returned to the library and handed Old Moran the letter
What ritten within was so that I had discarded the other day as some kind of joke
”The Helan territories are in a pinch nari We ht will coht of solutions h nari My Lord, you must prepare to have your people flee nari! Make haste nari! The Helan territories are about to lose to the curse nari!”
”This, I think that it's a letter from the man named Petel that you talked about This person ht”
Old Moran accepted the letter and read through the contents several tih it carefully as if it were so precious
Before I knew it, Old Moran's eyes which had looked dried up were suddenly full of tears
”Once again, very perceptive of you Aye, there is noit, these are the words of Petel, as once ht on…”
The tears he had been fighting began to flow froia, joy and other mixed emotions
For a while, he basked in that wistfulness, before once again turning toelse do you not? I sensed a brio”
”I do have sole book to Old Moran
'Magical Tome Vol 5'
”I see It was already in your hands then I had searched for this book for htful place”
The book was soo, when bandits had invaded the mansion I had no idea that it would become such an important book for me in the future
”Thanks to you, I have the contents of the first four volumes memorized If I'm able to master the fifth one noill be able to beat the curse, right?”
”According to the legend… No, according to Harp's story, you will I don't think that she rong”
”So, so that means! We can still save the lands of Helan!”
”However, there is a price Your own life Just like it was three hundred years ago when Helan offered his life”
”If that is nation”
I looked at Old Moran with deterer any room for debate And he was able to see whatleft was to act
”You shouldn't have to worry about the people The great matches that you made should protect theon acquiring this final ulti said…”
I looked outside thebut the color of sand, the dry air was spreading everywhere Just standing out there would rob you of moisture There was no food There was a possibility that they would not survive for even a week
”Perhaps we should seek the help of my old friend, Petel”
I was surprised by Old Moran's suggestion For so to a realization
The way he said itnow, knew everything
”Petel is still fighting the curse within these lands Well then, that must mean that he has made various preparations, he must be at that place”
”That place? …You don't mean…”
”Aye, the place where it all started, and where it will all end 'The Cursed Swamp' That is where he must be”
He had the eyes of soain
It was true, what he said end, that place here the curse was the weakest In that case, it would surely be the best place for him to be while he learned the contents of the fifth volume
”Do you knohere it is?”
”You have no idea howabout this I could find that place even if my eyes were closed”
Our destination was decided
I and Old Moran packed the s that we needed and set off on our journey
The dried lands were punishi+ng But I thought about the hardshi+ps that the first Helan had faced, and I started to feel that e endured was not all that bad
'The Cursed Swaions towards the south of the Helan territories
Compared to the beautiful northern parts of the Helan territories, the lands here had not been cultivated It was far froot closer, er and fewer houses
”It is over there”
