Chapter 216: Vol3 Ch16: Reason
Negary reformed his body once again. In the Farnate manor at night, other than Lan Shan who was living in Chloe’s body earlier, the only people here were the Farnate family head, the maid Lunchances, as well as the butler Birosius.
Negary’s field of perception slowly enveloped the entire house, putting the three people in the house within his ‘sight’.
〖 The maid is relatively ordinary, the only people with issues are Farnate and the butler Birosius 〗from Negary’s observation, Lan Shan had generally only met the maid Lunchances during this period, since the butler Birosius had been busy with managing Farnate’s store, they had very little contact.
〖 His constitution has surpassed the level of humans, from his condition and unique physical characteristics, it can be assumed that he’s used to conducting assassination-type work 〗Negary quickly analyzed the butler’s basic information.
〖 Furthermore, Farnate doesn’t necessarily know about this, so they aren’t on the same side? 〗Negary drew this conclusion through observing the hidden items in Birosius’ room. With how much Farnate valued his reputation, he would definitely not allow Birosius to bring such things in.
〖 Perhaps I can use him 〗Negary stopped observing Birosius and moved directly into the master bedroom, where Farnate was asleep.
Rhythmically tapping the wooden drawer by Farnate’s bed, Negary slowly converted his interference force from physical telekinesis into mental interference. Through Negary’s guidance, it slowly permeated Farnate’s mind and induced a hypnotic trance – almost like sleep walking.
〖 Now, tell me everything that the Farnate family is hiding 〗Negary softly said, the use of his interference force gave his voice an sense of compulsion: 〖 Begin from the origin of the Farnate family 〗
“In the language of the elves, ‘Farnate’ has the meaning of inheritance” Farnate still had his eyes closed, but slowly revealed the secrets that he had been keeping under wraps to Negary under his guidance.
…
〖 How interesting 〗through Farnate’s narration, Negary finally understood why the will of the world had arranged Chloe’s body for him.
The will of this world had suffered a fate even worse compared to the will of the Disaster world.
The official name of this world should be the Moon Tree world, or as it was commonly known: Elven Home.
The indigenous people of this world were elves born from the Moon Tree, which were also the race of long-eared humanoid who worshipped the great tree that Negary saw as he transmigrated into this place.
While the Moon Tree that gave birth to the elves was actually the embodiment of the will of the world.
As he knew from the Disaster world, the Moon Tree world was actually constantly in motion, travelling in a set orbit through space. It would plunder any worlds it came across, thus causing a cataclysmic event in the ancient civilisation of the Disaster world.
However, in space, it only takes the blink of an eye for a hunter to turn into the hunted.
As the saying went: you’re bound to run into a ghost if you keep going out at night.
Approximately a few thousand years ago, the Moon Tree world was invaded, the invaders were the seven Righteous Gods.
A huge number of human soldiers marched into the Moon Tree world, while the will of the world was suppressed by the seven Righteous Gods, unable to mount any resistance. At the moment, the will of the world had completely been turned over, most of its original authorities taken and divided among the seven Righteous Gods.
The elves were almost wiped out, with only some of their bloodline mixing with human bloodline. Nowadays, the elven bloodline was called the blood of evil, and the seven orthodox churches of this world were actually the descendants of the human soldiers who invaded this world with the seven Righteous Gods, the portion that decided to retire and remain here.
Following Negary’s deduction, the current Moon Tree world was essentially a cattle farm.
Unlike the destructive way that the Burning Crusade harvested the world’s [Origin] after an invasion, the seven Righteous Gods allowed the will of this world to slowly recover after stripping it of its authorities, then gradually harvest it again and again.
“The seven Righteous Gods had cursed the elves, turning the moonlight that granted power to the elves into an ominous symbol. The elves had thoroughly been defeated” Farnate continued.
Negary simply chuckled as he heard Farnate. The current will of the world was nothing but cattle that was being bred to be used again, otherwise it would have been destroyed a long time ago. To the will of the world, Negary’s appearance was like a life-saving straw that randomly fell from the sky, which was why it immediately arranged for Negary to join the Farnate family.
However, even the keeper of the elven history, the Farnate family head himself, felt ashamed about having the blood of elves flowing through his veins, so this world was essentially beyond saving.
〖 No wonder I had a strange feeling as I saw Chromie 〗Negary recalled the second child of the Farnate family, the younger brother of Chloe who was attending school at the Academic City, and finally understood what the odd sensation he felt was.
〖 He is probably the weakest Protagonist in history, so weak that I couldn’t even sense him. His [Protagonist Aura] is almost non-existent, not to mention he was unknowingly afflicted by a curse, even if he matures to a certain degree, he’d be noticed by the Righteous Gods and harvested as their cattle. A tortured protagonist[1] huh? 〗
Such a thought flashed by Negary’s mind, but this could have been done on purpose by the will of the world for the sake of secrecy.
〖 The situation is quite clear now. The will of the world is most likely hatching some sort of plan, but helpless to execute it while in this turned-over state, so it wanted to put me in as a family member of the Protagonist in order to help him execute that plan? 〗
〖 What a pitiful will of the world 〗as far as Negary understood, Farnate only had one or two elvish magical tools in his possession, other than that, the only thing he knew was a secret passage leading to the Moon Tree.
Naturally, the will of the world should have other things being withheld in secret, but when the other party was so weak that it couldn’t even communicate with Negary in a normal manner, he didn’t really want to cooperate with it.
From what he had seen so far, doing so wouldn’t grant him any benefits, instead he might find himself in nothing but trouble.
A gust of wind blew the window open, allowing the eerie moonlight to peer in. Farnate abruptly opened his eyes, and Negary noticed an unusual change occurring in him.
“Chromie has what you want” Farnate only stated that before preparing his last will and hung himself to death.
〖 So it had weakened to this extreme degree, huh? 〗Negary shook his head. If he hadn’t put Farnate into a hypnotic trance today, the will of the world might not have been able to take advantage of that to take control over Farnate, what a sad will of the world it had become.
Farnate’s will depicted how he had been keeping his daughter’s blood of evil a secret, but was discovered by the Soundless cult and blackmailed to work for them. Farnate had no choice but to kill his daughter and commit suicide himself in order to not sully the Farnate family honor.
〖 The Soundless cult…〗this was one of the largest evil cults in Lohr, which was somehow related to the elves. However, from what Negary had seen, they most likely had very little connection to the will of the world, or rather, it wouldn’t benefit them in any way to have a connection to it in the first place.
〖 From what I’ve seen, the Righteous Gods are most likely not present in this world. As long as I don’t ruin this world’s farm-like state, the only enemies I’ll have to face are the churches 〗
〖 My plans can be altered a bit; I can also take this chance to take a look of what the will of this world can actually borrow this crippled Protagonist to accomplish 〗
〖 Things have gotten quite interesting 〗
[1] Tortured protagonist, as the name suggest, are MCs of novels that basically aim to make them as miserable as possible, think Rise of the Shield Hero or Dark Blood Age
