Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!

Chapter 61: Chapter 61: A Puppet Called King, A Slave of Wisdom



[950 BC]

[Five hundred years have passed since your birth]

[After dealing with the affairs of Millennium Castle and making arrangements for after your departure, you choose to go to the surface of the planet]

[Brunestud thinks this is also good]

[She expects you to bring back interesting things from the outside world]

[And so, you begin to travel around the Earth in the BC era]

[By sensing the aura of the planet, you find that this era is very different from the Greek Age of Gods]

[The aura of the gods is quite thin]

[There are two types of native gods on Earth, one is gods that became gods due to natural phenomena, the personification of natural phenomena. The other is humans who were initially humans, but as a result of various factors, they escaped from the karma of humans, and then became heroes or saviors who are objects of faith]

[Humans once regarded natural phenomena as gods, but as the rules of this planet were overwritten by the human primates, human intelligence also continued to grow and improve]

[Gods based on natural phenomena returned to being mere natural phenomena]

[Gods gradually degenerated into spirits]

[Signs of the decline of the Age of Gods are filling the planet, and if some time passes, even the spirits will dissolve and dissipate into nature]

"The Age of Gods is declining, and mystery is disappearing.

Most fantasy species have begun to retreat to the Inner Sea of the Stars, but these have no impact on me."

Moran said faintly as he walked in the desert.

[As a True Ancestor, you are different from the gods]

[True Ancestors can be regarded as incarnate spirits, they are the tentacles of this planet and are not affected by the Age of Gods]

[Your goal on this trip is the key to this era]

[In this current era, you know that there are people who can provide help, and if you want to say who can represent the mystery of this era, only one person can take on this important task——]

[The King of Magic, Solomon]

[You went to Israel in this era, and there you met Solomon, who had been in power for nearly twenty years]

[He saw through your identity at a glance]

[This King of Magic has the wisdom he received from God, and his hands also have the Ten Commandments, which symbolize the proof of a wise man]

[That being said]

[You also learned about his essence in a short exchange]

[When Solomon promised God in a dream to obtain wisdom, from that moment on, he was no longer himself]

[God did grant wisdom]

[But this wisdom was not Solomon's own, and he was stripped of the emotions that a human should have because of this wisdom, becoming a perfect wise king who is infinitely close to a puppet]

[Solomon knew your intention]

[He agreed to your request to study magic under him, and in return, he needed you to give him something in return]

"Moran, tell me your story."

[Solomon said this]

[A transaction that couldn't be simpler]

[Although you don't know the purpose of Solomon's proposal, you don't think there's anything wrong with this transaction]

[And so, you became Solomon's apprentice]

[Studying magic under him]

[Soon, nineteen years passed quickly]

[This is equivalent to a quarter of the time of most humans, but for you, a True Ancestor, it is very short]

[During these nineteen years, you studied magic and were also taught various knowledge by Solomon. During this time, you were like teachers and friends, but there were no human emotions in it]

[It's just that the relationship seems like teachers and friends]

[Even if you regard Solomon as a teacher and friend, he, who has divinely granted wisdom, cannot respond to you]

[He has no emotions that belong to humans]

[At the same time, you not only got to know Solomon during this time]

[You met the future Jewel Magician, Zelretch, who would create the Second Magic and kill Brunestud, and the first director of the Magic Association and the Clock Tower, Brishisan, who would found the Magic Association and the Clock Tower in the future]

[At this time, they are still quite young]

[You are fellow disciples under the same master]

"Zelretch…"

Moran gazed at this junior disciple in the courtyard.

[You are brewing something in your heart]

[If you kill Zelretch here, then he will not be able to kill Brunestud in the future]

[However, this idea was quickly erased]

[Committing the act of killing a fellow disciple in front of Solomon is not very rational]

[The wise king would not sit idly by]

[Because he is the destined king who was given wisdom by God, and it is his destiny to do the right thing]

[Of course, there is a second reason]

[Even if you kill Zelretch, it's useless]

[From the beginning, Earth and Brunestud signed an agreement, Brunestud said that she would protect Earth if Earth was in danger]

[But, Earth didn't expect Brunestud's true thoughts]

[She actually wanted to take Earth into her hands]

[The True Ancestors she created are slaughtering the creatures on Earth]

[Now, Alaya, who is the human counter force, and Gaia, who is the planet's counter force, have begun to notice something is wrong]

[They will one day choose to point their blades at Brunestud]

[And Brunestud is eager to create a successor]

[This is also the reason]

"Even if I choose to kill Zelretch, as long as the time comes, the two great counter forces may send out some unknown existence to attack Brunestud, which cannot fundamentally solve the problem."

Moran focused on the essence of the problem.

He knows that killing Zelretch solves nothing.

In fact, it will bring bad results.

Once Zelretch dies here, then Moran doesn't know who the counter force will send out afterwards.

The unknown is the greatest enemy.

So killing Zelretch is a reckless act.

"Moran, aren't you going to see the great master for the last time?"

While thinking, a familiar voice came.

Zelretch, who was originally in the courtyard, came to Moran.

"Of course I will go."

Moran released his arms from his chest.

He patted Zelretch's shoulder and walked forward together.

[You know what day it is today]

[Solomon would pass away on this day]

[As recorded in legends]

[You witnessed King Solomon, at the end of his life, choosing to return the proof of wisdom bestowed by God to heaven, returning everything he had received from Him in its entirety]

[Having lost everything bestowed by God]

[Solomon visibly weakened and aged, becoming a lifeless old man in a matter of minutes]

[However, he showed no fear]

[You and the other disciples watched him age like this, and none of you felt any heartache]

[Only a sense of sadness towards this master]

[Because you all knew better than anyone else]

[This was the true liberation for Solomon]

[At the very end of his life, he finally got rid of the wisdom bestowed by God and regained the human emotions he once had]

"Solomon, how tragic.

You were once a wise and perfect king in the eyes of the world, but no one ever understood Solomon. Everyone only knew that perfect king, and no one knew the real you."

Moran gazed at Solomon lying on the bed in the palace.

At that moment, Solomon showed a helpless smile.

He had no words to refute.

"Ah, it can't be helped. Even at the end, you have to lecture me like this? But, I made that wish, and just based on the result, I think it can be considered good."

Solomon was no longer as serious as before.

Even his tone and expression were so gentle and casual.

"To be honest, looking back on my memories of the past nineteen years, Moran, you wanted to teach me how to live so many times, but unfortunately, I couldn't give you any response at that time. The so-called destined wisdom and king, it was pretty much like that, I'm sorry…"

Solomon sincerely apologized to Moran.

These were words he couldn't say when he had the Ten Commandments.

Only after regaining human emotions could Solomon respond to Moran like this.

The first thing he felt was guilt.

"There's no need to apologize to me. I'm not so petty that I would mock you for being like that."

"Haha… then thank you very much…"

Solomon gave a wry smile.

Although he had never had a friendly exchange with Moran, this time should at least count as one, right?

Thinking this, he felt that returning the wisdom to God.

This approach felt pretty good too.

Although it wasn't out of his own will.

But, Solomon was still extremely grateful for it.

"At least, being able to chat with you like this one last time still makes me feel good… If I could make a choice again… I really want to choose to live a different life…"

"What, are you dissatisfied with this kind of life?"

"No, no, it's not that I'm dissatisfied… I don't have any feelings about my current life… I just simply… want to live more like a human…"

Solomon's words contained a wish…

These were words that could make any listener silent.

Clearly, it was something that anyone could easily obtain.

But he sincerely wished for it in his heart, praying for this wish that anyone could fulfill.

A puppet called king, a slave of wisdom.

This ancestor, who was worshiped by countless magicians in later generations.

His essence was so simple.

"If I were to give an example… um… being able to live as freely as you, Moran… I feel like that would be the best…"

Solomon vaguely remembered the story Moran told.

Even now, there was still longing in his heart.

His heart was constantly exclaiming.

Just living is such a wonderful thing.

This kind of emotion rippled in his heart.

"Solomon, your wish will one day come true."

"Haha… haha… Hearing you say that… I feel a lot more at ease in my heart… um… this way, I can have the courage to stand tall and say goodbye to you… Moran… thank you… my last dearest friend…"

Solomon's expression was very peaceful.

[Being able to confide in his disciple and dearest friend like this at the end, his heart was already very satisfied]

[You and Solomon said your final farewells]

[On that day, the magic king returned to the heavens under the gaze of his ministers and people, and the sad news spread throughout Israel and the surrounding countries]

[The entire country was immersed in sorrow]

[You and the other fellow disciples attended the funeral of this wise king]

[Afterwards, you all planned to go your separate ways]

[Zelretch said that he would travel around for the time being, while Brishisan, in order to commemorate the knowledge of his master Solomon, planned to establish an organization called the Magic Association, saying that he wanted to continue to pass on magic as a mystery]

"Moran, would you like to come along? You study magic that is more inclined towards the soul, right? I can create a discipline for you. If I have the help of you, a True Ancestor, I can do it more easily!"

[Brishisan extended an invitation to you]

[He had been planning this kind of organization for more than a day or two, and it could be said that he had even thought about what position he would let you take]

[You showed a helpless smile after hearing this]

[Thinking in your heart that a True Ancestor becoming the first monarch of a university department is quite subtle in many ways]

[You politely declined Brishisan's invitation]

"No, my wife at home has been complaining recently. If I don't hurry back, I'm afraid she'll come looking for me in person, and it won't be something that can be fooled with just a few words then."

Moran's words were not false.

Although he had given orderly instructions before leaving Millennium Castle, the True Ancestors had no sense of hierarchy.

Basically, they were all solitary creatures.

The Dead Apostles who obeyed Moran did not dare to arrange these True Ancestors.

If it wasn't for Brunestud directly ordering them, they would probably only act when faced with things that had the same benefits.

Moran was able to command them because of his strength.

Otherwise, it was not easy to make the True Ancestors listen.

Having only left for a few decades, Brunestud wanted Moran to return to Millennium Castle.

It could only be said that there was no way.

"…Can True Ancestors also be henpecked?"

"Cough cough cough… this situation is very complicated… Senior brother's affairs… you junior brothers shouldn't get too involved…!"

"Heh, it seems this situation is very complicated."

Zelretch couldn't help but smile.

Afterwards, they each left.

[In the final chat farewell]

[You mentioned Brunestud to Zelretch]

[Zelretch, who had a noble sense of justice, guaranteed to you after hearing this that he would not attack Brunestud]

[You knew Zelretch's upright values very well. He was definitely a man who could create great achievements in the Age of Gods, and he would never go back on his promise]

[Swinging a sword at the person his senior brother loved was an extremely rebellious thing in his eyes]

[However, even after hearing the guarantee]

[You still felt a little uneasy in your heart]
