Chapter 3268 The Trial of the Great Fool (Seventy)
Seeing this scene, everyone present was very surprised. Even King Arthur, who had always been calm, couldn't help but look surprised for a moment.
"A born transcendent...!" Eric, the strategist sitting on the other side of the sofa, stood up and exclaimed.
This kind of thing has never been an exception in history. Even for Eric, it took a long time after he was born to become a [Transcendent], and it only happened after he gained self-awareness.
There has never been a person in history who became a "transcendent" right after he was born.
——In other words, isn't this child just a "monster born with truth"?
"I see, I can more or less guess what the academy is thinking." Archmage Logan suddenly said.
"Huh?" Bedivere cast a doubtful look at the old man.
"This child was probably an artificial human made from genetic samples taken from Little Tiger (Albert) when he first became a [Transcendent]. At that time, Little Tiger had just become a [Transcendent]."
, the connection with the other side of truth is both close and unstable. Therefore, the artificial humans created from his samples also inherit that characteristic."
Only then did Bediwell remember that Albert had previously been kidnapped by the Mohammed Business Group (which controlled the academy). During the period of being kidnapped, Albert seemed to have experienced something. From then on
From that time on, Albert became a [Transcendent], able to borrow power from [Extraordinary Theory]. The academy must have done something to Albert to make him become a Transcendent.
In this case, the little tiger never mentioned what happened during the kidnapping. Bedivere could only blindly guess what extreme methods the academy used to stimulate Albert.
...What kind of intense stimulation can sublimate the consciousness of people in the real world to the other side of truth?
Then again, what did those people who became [Transcendents] go through to become [Transcendents]?
"So this is a born [Transcendent], relying on the connection between his father and [The Unexplained Reason] to become a [Transcendent] right after he was born?" the King of Knights concluded.
"From the current situation, it should be like this." Logan replied: "It's not good."
"Not good?"
"The academy has a way to turn little tigers into [transcendents], and there is also a way to turn the descendants of people who have become [transcendants] into natural [transcendents]. Once the procedures and theories are established, the academy
You can use these methods to create unlimited [Transcendents]. Just imagine, there is such an army of [Transcendents], each of them can perform various [miracles] and distort the laws of the real world one by one..."
Everyone gasped.
"Is [Transcender] really that easy to copy?" Bedivere asked depressedly.
"No, it should be difficult. Little Tiger (Albert) and his son are probably the only successful individuals among countless experimental subjects." Logan continued: "If it is so easy to copy this
Success, the academy has already sent hordes of [Transcendents] to crush the world. That will become an unstoppable great force that can directly change the tide of destiny. Then in the next era, there will be nothing like us mortals.
It's over."
This kind of thing has not happened yet, just because the academy has not yet been able to mass-produce [Transcendents]. But their experiments have proven that it is possible to artificially create [Transcendents]. It is only time before the academy can truly mass-produce [Transcendents]
problem.
"The situation may be more urgent than we imagined." The King of Knights frowned: "The date of the decisive battle with the academy may have to be brought forward."
"I couldn't be more in favor of destroying the academy." The old mage hummed: "The mages in the ivory tower have studied painstakingly for generations in order to continuously deepen their understanding of the world through the accumulation of knowledge, and finally achieve [truth]."
However, the academy tried to reach [the truth] through the evil method of making artificial human beings, skipping all the efforts required to reach the truth. Their behavior was trickery, cheating, and an insult to the mages. Therefore, it cannot be done in any case.
Forgive them."
Eric, the strategist who was listening in the audience, shuddered secretly. If this was a trick, he had already done it once. And thanks to that, he changed from a paralyzed cripple to the one who can barely use it now.
The way he walks on two legs. If the mages knew that Eric was using Albert's power to take advantage of him, would the mages let him go?
"...Does your speech represent the entire opinion of the Mage Association?" the Knight King asked.
"No. It only represents me personally. But I think the mages in the ivory tower will also hold the same idea. At least, most people do." Logan replied without emotion.
However, Mutt frowned. He still remembered the attack on Albert by the mages from the Ivory Tower. Those mages obviously wanted to capture Albert and study it carefully, and get closer to the truth by studying the [Transcendent].
The door...
The mages in the Ivory Tower must have different factions and act with different ideas. So the last time they attacked Albert's [First Guard of Honor], they didn't use their full strength at all. They even put the battle
It was induced into a duel between captain of honor guard Reinhardt and Albert, and it was obvious that Reinhardt was letting the water go. Although the mages wanted to capture Albert alive, there was no way to use overly powerful spells; but it seemed that things were different.
It's not that simple. Mutt, who was observing the battle from the side, clearly felt that Reinhardt couldn't bring out any motivation in the battle, as if he was forced by his superiors to do dirty work that he didn't want to do, so he just acted casually.
Just give me an explanation.
Could it be that there are people in the ivory tower who want to use that power, but Reinhardt belongs to the faction that does not agree with using that power?
…It’s such a complex organization.
"Very good. Maybe we can borrow help from the mages to annihilate the academy." King Arthur smiled meaningfully. Then he handed the little Obert he was holding to Bediwell: "Take care of this."
My child, don’t let him be taken away by the academy. He is a born [transcendent], and he will definitely have special talents that others cannot have in their lifetime."
"Of course." Bedivel said.
He thought of Obert, who unfolded his glowing wings and descended from the sky like a little angel more than a month ago. That was definitely not a power that orcs should possess. It was probably a special ability that transcended common sense.
Although Obert didn't do anything special after that. The child just stayed in the Dawn every day, playing with other children. Obert, who traveled through time from the future, was a naughty and lively child...
Wait, traveling through time? Could that be Obert’s ability?
No, it's too early to draw a conclusion now. After all, Husky and others can time travel. Maybe that's not Obert's ability at all, but that their group has a "time machine" and can use the machine to travel in time.
Bar.
However, there is one thing that is particularly strange.
According to the future Husky, the future Bedivere should have died in Moby Dick's crusade. In other words, Obert, who came from that future, should have never seen Bedivere.
of.
——After all, Bedivere was already dead before Obert was born.
But at that time, Obert, the little tiger who fell from the sky, became very familiar with Bedivere from the very beginning, as if he had known Bedivere from the beginning.
...How could that child know Bediwell, who should have been dead long ago?
Bedivere, who was deep in thought, suddenly felt a large warmth on his chest. The baby's cry that had stopped suddenly started again, and it was particularly noisy.
"Uh." He came to his senses and found that Obert had peed. Because the child hadn't put on a diaper yet, Obert peed directly on Bediwell.
"...Arthur, you must have noticed that Obert was about to urinate just now, so you gave him to me, right?" the werewolf young man asked depressedly.
"Perhaps." The King of Knights suppressed his laughter and turned around to leave: "I won't bother you with taking care of your children. I'll say goodbye."
Then he ran away at an alarming speed.
(Ah this...)
A drop of sweat broke out on Bedivere's forehead.
"It's okay, I'll change his diaper." Lawrence smiled while trying to take the baby from Bediwell: "If this continues, the smell will stay on you, boss. You'd better take a bath first."
"
"Of course." Bedivere said with a wry smile, and handed the noisy and crying Obert into Lawrence's hands. In fact, he had no experience in taking care of babies. Obert's peeing and crying made him confused for a while. Fortunately, this
Having Lawrence on board was a real help.
At the same time, inside the captain's room of the amphibious assault ship [Leo].
Elaine left the bathroom late because he had to deal with the bandage on his leg. When he returned to the room, Bailey, who had left the bath first, was already lying on the bed, holding in one hand the plush stuffed bear Elaine bought him this morning.
Holding a book in one hand and reading.
"Big brother," the little fox said with a smile, "Have you washed it? Come and lie down~"
"Now, do you still want to sleep with me tonight?" Elaine said with a wry smile. Bailey is really a very clingy kid: "But, please don't wet the bed again."
"It's okay, just take precautions." Bailey pointed to his lower body. The shorts he was wearing were slightly bulging: "I won't cause trouble to my big brother."
"You, shouldn't you..." Elaine blushed: "I was just joking with you before. There is no need to take it seriously."
"No, you have to take it seriously." The blue fox boy stuck out his tongue: "I want to sleep with my eldest brother, but I don't want to cause trouble to my eldest brother. So this is the best solution. Anyway, I am how old I am.
As a little kid, even if I were asked to wear a diaper to sleep, I would never feel ashamed. I really wouldn’t.”
But his face was red and he didn't look ashamed at all.
"You, if you feel uncomfortable, you don't have to wear them." The white lion boy said awkwardly, "That's right, even if you wet the bed, you just need to wash the clothes and sheets."
"That will disturb big brother's rest." Bailey reached out and patted the mattress: "Stop talking, go to sleep. Don't you have to get up early tomorrow?"
"Well..." Elaine walked over and lay down on the bed. Bailey naturally got into Elaine's arms, hugging the big white bear puppet and hugging Elaine at the same time.
"So, do you like that puppet so much?" Elaine asked.
"Hey, I feel safe when I sleep with this one in my arms." The little fox replied, "Although it's not as good as sleeping with my big brother in my arms."
But now he is hugging both—both the puppet and Elaine. Could he be treating Elaine as some kind of furry living puppet?
"Well, big brother doesn't like me holding you?"
"No, it's not..." Elaine asked in a low voice. But Bailey is a six (seven?) year old boy after all. It's really not good to sleep with his parents at this age. Although Elaine is not Bailey's parent.
, at best he can be regarded as Bailey's uncle. Still not related by blood.
Forget it. This child has never received any love from his parents since he was born. It's better to pamper him a little now.
The White Lion boy didn't say anything further, and stretched out his hand to make gestures on the bedside. Several holographic screens appeared on the bedside, showing the surveillance footage from the cameras outside the ship.
At this time, the [Leo] had left the territorial waters of Great Britain and officially entered the high seas. Because there was no longer any need to worry about being blamed for violating other countries' national borders, the ship's concealment system was lifted.
It rises from the bottom of the ocean and goes into [flight mode] - literally.
