Ian said, his eyes deep and he looked at the blond boy in front of him, calmly said, "In that case, you really won’t be able to get away."
"In the face of this undertaking, your Bloodline, the plans behind your Bloodline, disputes between the Ellen Family or the royal family are merely trivial details... Do you really intend to find out?"
Ian’s words were serious, but Yisen Gard was about to be amused with anger: "I’ve risked my life with you against the Labyrinth Master, avoided my grandfather’s light beams, and you still ask me if I intend to know—if I didn’t have this determination, why would I do such things!"
"You’ve even mentioned Yafada but haven’t told me yet!" he sharply accused.
"That is indeed something I forgot..."
With a hearty laugh, Ian’s gaze wavered, he laughed cheerfully as he walked forward, pressing Yisen Gard’s shoulder, he said, "But to be honest, this was one of my past concerns. Not because of your capabilities, but because if I tell you everything, the world in your eyes would change drastically."
"You’re a Noble, born noble, many things you don’t understand... If you truly want to participate in my development plan, then the risks you’ll face will be more, and what you lose, will also be more."
Ian paused, then said: "Yisen, I might have considered you too young, which is why I haven’t discussed these topics with you. As you’ve heard, my future enemies are not only the Nobles, not just one or two countries, but the essence of human nature, continental order, social morality... it’s the entire Terra World."
"Are you really sure?"
Yisen Gard met Ian’s gaze, he didn’t know whether it was anger or some other emotion, but he seriously answered this question: "Don’t really think I’m so ignorant... I’m a genius in Alchemy, a great Noble educated at a royal level, I’ve read extensively. Indeed, I know almost nothing about the matters of the lower levels, and in other aspects, I’m inferior to you, but I can definitely assist you greatly."
"But only by letting me know what exactly you plan to do, can I assist you in doing more."
Ian smiled: "If that’s the case, then you should learn a bit more about the matters at the bottom level."
"Yisen, go see this vast world, see how in this land, the Sublimators and Ordinary people are divided, and what your thoughts on this are."
"Yisen, observe more, see to what extent this world’s technology and society have been twisted, see how this civilization, built on the ruins of the previous era’s civilization, has established its prosperity on what kind of errors, then you’ll know how incredible all of this is."
"Then, you’ll understand what it means to be ’at odds with the world’."
"When you find the answer in your heart, come tell me what you think."
Slowly raising his head, Ian looked above the sky, at that pitch blackness.
He addressed Yisen Gard, who had already clenched his fists, "At that time, I will tell you the real secrets of this world, and who the greatest enemy of all beings is."
"Then, we will be true ’allies’."
"I will." Yisen Gard said with unprecedented solemnity, "I will come to understand you." Latest content published on NoveI(F)ire.net
"Mm." The Prophet said softly, "I hope for the same."
"Hope everyone can do the same."
