"Is that so? He didn't mention it to me. Well then! Let's go in."
I entered the main gate with Nanahoshi. Since the first floor was a warehouse, the room was quite dark, and Orsted was sitting in the shadows.
At first glance, it was indeed a bit scary.
I looked at him and nodded to Orsted in greeting. Then I said to Nanahoshi:
"You go on up. Don't worry, I won't get into a fight with Lord Orsted."
Nanahoshi nodded to me and then went upstairs.
I sat opposite Orsted and met his gaze. I took the initiative to speak.
"Lord Orsted, may I ask why you've come to see me this time? Is there anything I can help with?"
"Daolin Prodia Grellat, born in the year 402 of the armored dragon calendar, on November 11th. Your father is Xerxes Prodia Greyrat, and your mother is Aria Prodia Greratt. Additionally, you have a grandfather named Darius Prodia Grelat. Is everything I've said correct?"
"Yes, those are all my relatives in this life."
"Very well. I've spent this time looking into all your deeds from childhood to the present. I'm starting to believe your words. You indeed frequently behave as if you have foreknowledge of future events.
For example, your creation of the exhibition for the Seven Heroes resisting Laplace indirectly saved tens of thousands of children in the Fittoa Territory. It seems you knew in advance that the Displacement Incident would occur.
Tell me about this. Do you know the cause of the Displacement Incident? After all, this is the first time I've encountered such an event."
I guessed that when he said 'first time,' he meant it was the first time in all of Orsted's many loops that he had encountered the Displacement Incident.
"I'm sorry, I don't know the specific cause of the Displacement Incident either. In my memory, I only know that Nanahoshi was transported to this continent after the incident.
Additionally, Nanahoshi and I have another fellow countryman who also attends this school; his name is Rudeus Greyrat.
The timing of our reincarnations into this world doesn't quite align with the date the Displacement Incident occurred.
So I don't believe we are the primary cause of the Displacement Incident. In my memory, before the incident occurred, there would be a jewel suspended in the sky above the city of Roa in Fitoya.
Therefore, I went to check after Rudeus's reincarnation, but I didn't discover that jewel at the time.
As for other clues, I don't know."
"Alright, Nanahoshi has already told me about the other reincarnated person besides you. As for what you've said about the Displacement Incident, thank you for the information.
In light of your honesty, there is a ruin that would be beneficial to you. Are you interested in taking a look?"
"? What ruin, and how is it beneficial to me?"
"It's a ruin secretly discovered by our Dragon Tribe. Inside the ruin are the insights into Sword Intent left behind by the First Generation Water God. I heard you were a disciple at the Water God Style Dojo; perhaps it will be of some help to you.
Since you agreed to help me deal with the Human God, I can take you there with me."
"Really? And what's the price? Dealing with the Human God? I probably won't live long enough to see you face the Human God."
Orsted glanced at me. He seemed surprised, not expecting me to consider my own lifespan so directly. It seems he had already realized I wouldn't be able to directly help him face the Human God's true body.
"How about this: the price is that you help Ariel ascend the throne, and additionally help me deal with one of the Human God's apostles. All of this is to be fulfilled only after you've gained insights from the First Generation Water God's Sword Intent.
If you don't succeed in gaining those insights, none of this counts. What do you think?"
"Alright, I promise you."
"Fine. Daolin Prodia Grellat, in three days, I will wait for you in the forest 20 kilometers southwest of Sharia. When you reach the forest, I will find you."
"Okay, I'll be there on time."
Then we concluded our conversation. I went upstairs to say goodbye to Nanahoshi and informed her that I would be going to the ruin with Orsted.
She seemed a bit lonely when she heard I was going on a long journey. However, she seemed to suddenly realize something and then left.
I suspect she went to find Rudeus to ask him to help her replenish mana for the magic circles over the next few days.
Without worrying too much, I went home. I still need to say goodbye to various friends over the next few days. Although traveling with Orsted will likely involve using Teleportation Magic, it will probably still take quite some time before I return.
