That magic book was actually brought to the company by the boss!
Upon hearing the news, Karl immediately asked.
"That means the mastermind behind the scenes might be at my boss's house?"
"No." Cyril shook her head.
"Your boss is obviously just a tool who is treated as a tool."
"Then we can find clues in his home?"
Seliel did not answer him directly, but said something else.
"Your boss has been devoured by me. To complete this ritual, the owner of the grimoire should choose someone with blood ties to your boss to continue the process."
"But if the two of us go there like this, if we really bump into the real owner, wouldn't we be delivering food to someone?"
Karl doesn't think this is a good idea at all. Now that Cyril has no fighting ability, he is truly a 'newcomer'.
Suppose you go to the boss's house and meet the mastermind behind the scenes. It seems like it's all for nothing!
"This is actually not a problem. We can just go there during the day."
"daytime?"
Cyril looked at the confused Karl and asked a question first.
"Why do you think this era doesn't have many heroes and gods walking around the world like the mythical era and leaving their stories behind?"
Indeed, various mysterious powers do exist in this world, and the stories in myths are most likely facts that have happened in the past, rather than things fabricated by human imagination.
So why have they all disappeared now?
Norse mythology alone can be explained by Ragnarok, but what about the gods in other myths?
"Don't tell me that because of some great disaster, all the gods in ancient times fell asleep or died."
"About 2000 years ago, this world was still full of vitality. All kinds of guys were showing off their bravery in this world, and they would go to war every day because of their beliefs."
"So where are they now?"
"The powerful fell into a deep sleep, or like me, sealed themselves to avoid death. The weak gods were directly wiped out. They had no time to react and not even a single residue was left."
"So what exactly happened at this point in time 2,000 years ago?"
Cyril shook her head.
"I don't know, but one day suddenly, without any warning, an unimaginable disaster befell us."
"In an instant, the ether on the earth disappeared as quickly as if someone had blown it away with a strong wind. Without the support of the large amount of ether in the air, powerful gods like us cannot maintain our existence at all."
"What does this have to do with daytime?"
What Ceryl said had nothing to do with the fact that they were going to the boss's house during the day. What was she talking about?
"Things like ether will slowly recover over time. Today, 2000 years later, the ether content in the air is enough for guys like me to barely appear in the world. However, the ether in the air now is not enough.
It’s so strong that we can’t communicate with it perfectly under the sunlight.”
After explaining this, Seliel asked another question.
"Do you still remember your experiences in the past few days? Think about what they have in common."
With this reminder, combined with her description just now, Karl understood instantly.
"Does that mean that only at night can powerful beings like you display your abilities unscrupulously?"
Cyril nodded.
"That's right, so let's go there to pick up things during the day, investigate it, and then leave before nightfall, so there won't be any danger."
"I really don't know what kind of thing can completely end your era before 2000."
Karl couldn't help but sigh.
"I'd like to know too, if possible."
Saying this, Cyril stood up from the chair.
"According to the current recovery speed of ether, it will take at least 10 years or more to be able to support the use of these mysterious abilities during the day. We still have plenty of time."
"What's this?"
Carl smiled.
"Do day and night belong to the world of mystery and reality respectively?"
"No."
Cyril looked at him and said.
"When I first woke up from a deep sleep, I didn't recognize the current world at all. At that time, I thought I was under some weird illusion."
Ceryl looked emotional.
"In the age when the gods disappeared, or to be precise, starting from the industrial reform, human beings have created an amazing path forward. Perhaps compared to a group of us who were eliminated in one fell swoop, the path humans choose now is the right one."
I’m not sure, but maybe one day you will be the real mainstream in the world.”
This passage gave Karl a big shock. He didn't expect that the self-proclaimed god in front of him would have such an idea just by experiencing this era. If she wakes up in the 21st century, she will not directly become a god.
Bar?
Then he saw Cyril walking into his bedroom.
"What are you doing?"
Carl immediately chased after him.
Then he saw this guy had gotten into his bed.
Seeing Karl chasing after him, Seliel took the initiative to lift a corner of the quilt, and it could be seen that not even an inch of her body was naked, and she didn't care at all about the beauty she had revealed.
She patted the bed happily with her hands, as if inviting Karl.
"It's already so late, go to bed quickly."
Seeing Cyril starting to enter this mode again, the corner of his mouth twitched.
"This is my bed, what are you doing lying on it?"
"My dear, if there is only one bed in the house, of course we have to sleep together!"
"Don't be shy, come in quickly."
"I'm almost ready to warm the bed!"
So Karl turned around and planned to go back to the hall and spend the night here tonight.
"well!"
"Why are you leaving?"
Cyril's unwilling voice came from behind, but this voice opened up Karl's thinking.
This is my home!
Why do you want me to sleep on the sofa? This guy is not a guest who needs to be humble and entertained!
Karl went back decisively and stood by the bed looking at Cyril with a dead look in his eyes.
But this guy was completely unaware of his situation, looking overjoyed because Karl changed his mind.
"Have you finally figured it out? Come on, come on."
Karl was silent and lifted up the quilt on Ceryl.
Then the girl seemed to understand the mystery, and she immediately folded her arms cooperatively and huddled into the corner. The expression on her face became pitiful, and tears began to shine in the corners of her eyes.
"Please... please be gentle to others."
When he escaped from the dungeon, Karl already knew that this guy was very light, so he stretched out his hand and grabbed the girl.
"Hmm~...Ahhh!"
"Uh-huh!"
"Bang!"
The scene that Ceryl expected of Carl being a hungry wolf that pounced on food did not happen. On the contrary, she only felt a pain in her little face. When she opened her eyes, it was Carl who had grabbed her face, then lifted her up and threw her out of the bedroom.
After throwing Ceryl out, Karl immediately closed the bedroom door and locked the door tightly.
"Bang bang bang!"
Immediately after closing the door, there was a knock on the door in the living room.
"Aren't you going to do something embarrassing with me?" Cyril's voice sounded from outside the door.
"It's already so late, go to bed quickly."
The words she said before came out of Karl's mouth again.
