Goblin Knight - Chapter 315



Only Noblemtl

EP.315 Time Problem (23)

According to what Annelly told me… … .

The world is not omnipresent.

All the other possible worlds have been consumed by this one we live in, so now only one timeline remains.

Even if someone were to jump through time and do something, the result of that action would be this reality.

In other words.

It was already a given that Blanc would get a new rabbit’s foot at this very moment, or rather, a rabbit’s foot from some unknown point in time.

In a rippling land that I would normally not even look at, I happened to meet Gilan, a merchant who could come and go almost freely, and even arriving at this place, at this time, in this situation… … .

‘Someone with this rabbit’s foot must have guided it.’

Blanc felt his head pounding.

The problems right in front of me are already piling up, and yet another unexpected question has been added. Who? And why on earth?

The first thing that comes to mind is ‘Dorothy’. The extra next to the lion written in the shoemaker’s journal.

The Prophet Rabbit, also known as Serania.

‘She’s dead. She was chosen as a sacrificial lamb by the Chimera in the last village. But perhaps, as long as this artifact exists, it doesn’t matter when she died.’

The journal didn’t go into detail about Dorothy’s whereabouts. It just said that there was such a girl.

But now that we know that she was actually Serania and the original owner of this rabbit’s foot, the meaning of her being by Noyle’s side changes dramatically.

‘What on earth was your purpose? Were you trying to protect Noil?’

No, it’s different. Blanc denied the first inference.

Isn’t Noyle dead?

Even if he regained his honor at the last moment and died as a knight, the fact that he had suffered in contempt for a long time did not change.

Whether it was Dorothy’s intention to leave him alone or it was a predetermined future, Noyle could not be saved.

And now, Blanc’s acquisition of the rabbit’s foot had nothing to do with Noyle, who was already dead.

So… what is it?

‘Isn’t it Dorothy who put this here?’

It is possible.

Even if Dorothy was once the owner of this item, the rabbit’s foot is an item that can transcend time. It wouldn’t be strange at all if it changed owners quickly.

To put it in extreme terms, the owner of this rabbit’s foot may have gone back in time to the very, very distant past… that is, to the ‘era when this facility was built’, and after he died, someone from that era may have left it here for some reason, and it may have been left unattended until the world ended.

And if that’s true.

‘Ugh, this isn’t an area where you can reason… …!’

The scale is strange.

Blanc, who was born a goblin in a cave and had only explored a few cities and had unusual adventures, could not possibly fathom it.

The only thing I can vaguely be sure of is that it wasn’t a coincidence that Blanc got this.

Blanc gave up on further thoughts and decided to pick up the new rabbit’s foot and put it in his bag.

At the same time, a voice was heard from the other side of the management office.

– Hey, merchant! How’s the search going!?

– This isn’t it… This isn’t it. Shit, isn’t this the right place? Or am I looking for the wrong thing? But if that’s the case, then why… … .

– What are you muttering! It’s getting late, wait a minute, isn’t that the key card!?

– … … Yes? Oh, ha! I see! Security Level 1, found it! It’s the card to the central area!!

in the end!

News has come that it is now possible to escape this place where murderous dolls of unknown origin are swarming.

At the same time, as if to prove that Gilan had completely secured control of this place, the previously dark lighting changed to a warm blue light.

As I was staring at the glass ceiling with wonder at what principle it was using to emit light, Gilan and Nicola approached me.

“Sir Blanc, I think we’re done here! Did you get anything from over there!?”

“uh…….”

A few thoughts crossed Blanc’s mind at that moment. It was about whether or not he should tell Gilan honestly about the rabbit’s foot.

But the deliberation was short-lived.

If the previous owner of this wanted the rabbit’s foot to go to Gilan, he would have placed it there for Gilan to find.

Blanc shook his head.

“No, it was nothing significant. I’m sorry for nothing.”

“Is that so? Well, I didn’t expect that. Rather, the main point of bringing Sir Blanc here is here!”

Gilan pointed around with his eyes shining golden.

“Let’s sweep it all away!”

“Uh, all of them? Like those desks with lights on them… and all of those strangely hot iron boxes?”

“Of course! If you knew how much each of these artifacts are sold for to the tycoons, you would be shocked. They are rare and exquisite furniture that cannot even be compared to the works of masters!”

I still don’t know much about aristocratic society.

Anyway, since he was indebted to him, Blanc decided to move the ‘ancient furniture’ into the carriage obediently according to his wishes.

I removed the annoying, unidentifiable wires connected to the back, and carefully inserted the square glass window that was emitting light… … .

“So what do we do now? We have control. Can’t we just go straight to the center?”

“Calm down, Nicola. There’s a certain order to it. The mercenaries must have taken a lot of damage, so we need to return and reorganize.”

“Do we really need that? Now that we have control, there’s no longer a threat. I don’t think we need more mercenaries.”

“No. Isn’t there a 0th form?”

0th font?

An unfamiliar name came up during the conversation, and Blanc, who was quietly carrying the luggage, tilted his head.

Is this a doll that doesn’t listen to the controls?

“… … I told you, right? I can handle it. No, I won’t tolerate anyone interfering.”

“I don’t think she thinks so either. I don’t want to get killed out of nowhere.”

“however-”

I guess it’s a story that only they knew.

As someone who might encounter it in the future, I think I should hear the details.

The moment Blanc stopped his hands for a moment and turned his head.

With a clang, all the lights went out.

“ah?”

“what-”

In the darkness that suddenly descended.

As always, the first to react was Trasha.

– Khuuuung!!

“… … !!”

Having experienced this situation just a few days ago, Blanc bowed deeply to Trasha without asking or questioning her.

Wedge!!

A red blade suddenly appeared in the darkness and sliced ​​open the spot where his neck had been.

But before the identity of the raider could be determined, it disappeared into the darkness with a shimmering afterimage.

It was a speed that was difficult for Blanc to follow with his eyes.

“What is this-”

The next moment, a pair of red blades appeared above Gilan’s head, who was quite far away.

Like a locust catching its prey, two blades slashed down towards Gilan’s neck.

It seemed like death was inevitable.

“You, you, brat──!!”

bang!!

Nicola, who barely managed to protect Gilan by wedging the axe between two blades, ignited a red glow in his eyes.

“Yeah, I was wondering why you weren’t showing up!”

– … … .

“This time, this time for sure… …! I’ll knock that damn head off and cut off our bad relationship!!”

I felt a surge of emotion that was incomparable to when I was angry at Blanc.

I was wondering what on earth was going on, but it was clear that it was a formidable enemy, so I was about to join in.

“Don’t interfere!! Stop it!!”

“what?”

“This is my problem! My only problem!! Anyone who dares to interfere will be killed!!”

“What is that… … .”

Blanc was taken aback by the rage that he could not have imagined from Nicola until just now.

Gilan, who had escaped without realizing it, spoke out of breath.

“Ugh, ugh, I thought I was going to die! Leave this place to Nicola and get out of here, Sir Blanc!”

“No, that can’t be.”

“Maybe it’s something Nicola didn’t tell you about or lied about in the past! Maybe it’s because of me, but even the Tin Man lies a little! He only learns useless things!”

her.

The tin man is lying.

“You’re feeling shocked all over again!? Stereotypes are really scary! Anyway, let’s hurry for now! While Nicola is stalling, let’s just think about joining up with the mercenaries and heading to the base!!”

“What about Nicola!?”

“I’ll probably get crushed, but, well, on the bright side, I won’t die! This has happened to me a few times already! I’ll be okay this time too!!”

“How many times!? Damn it, there are so many things you didn’t tell me! Why didn’t you tell me?!!”

“That’s just how all merchants are! They only spit out information that is advantageous to them and try their best to hide anything that is disadvantageous, so please be mindful of that in the future!!”

Despite the scuffle with Gilan, Blanc managed to finish the pumpkin carriage and arrived at the entrance to the management office with Trasha.

I’ll ask them everything as soon as I get to the base. With that promise, Blanc was about to urge them to open the door quickly.

And then…

The ceiling, outer walls, and steel frames that had filled the space above their heads had turned ‘dark’.

After a while, when the black curtain was lifted.

Everything that was there was gone.

As if the very fact that there was anything there was just a dream… … .

“What is this… … .”

“… … No, no. No.”

I looked at Gilan to ask for an explanation, but for some reason… he just muttered with a face distorted in bewilderment.

“I thought it was strange that the mercenaries were quiet, but this, this is ridiculous. Why is it here?”

“Gilan?”

“Right now, she should be with the Second Prince… She was in the middle of a negotiation that would determine the survival of the race. But why did she come here? What could be more important than that negotiation… …!”

“Gilan, if you know anything, explain! What happened-”

“What are you doing, you must be asleep?”

Gilan looked at him with a half-empty smile and a half-reproachful expression on her face.

“She came.”

“Her?”

“The second princess who survived. Lapis Lazuli who became noble. The woman who devoured dreams… … .”

Looking at the blue wings fluttering over the night.

Desperately, Gilan declared.

“The ruler of the Federation, Rajili La Postheinz… is said to have come here after you.”
