[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 275: Paradise Falls
...****************...
Under the bright moonlight, Dwayne stepped on his feet calmly, passing through the rubble of rocks strewn across the floor.
The purpose of his journey was a building that had long been a ruin. The shape is round, with a dome roof coated with white paint.
Although it had become a ruin, not a single speck of dust had enveloped the gigantic structure.
Dwayne without noticing it even walked in, and found a large round table in the middle of the room.
It was a building with a single room, and with just a single glance, Dwayne had already finished scanning the entire area.
"Sorry to keep you all waiting."
He sat on one of the chairs, and naturally looked at everyone who was already waiting for him.
Right at this moment, the regular meeting of the Paradise Falls organization, which consists of the successors of the Aino family, was finally held.
On the back of Dwayne's chair, Minster's name was clearly engraved despite being slightly cracked.
Countless how long all the parts of the building had spent, but there seemed to be not the slightest change from the first moment Dwayne saw it.
There were eight chairs, with different names engraved on each of the backrests.
Dwayne's gaze was fixed on the person sitting on the chair labeled 'Grimald'.
"I hope you've shared my report with the others."
'Grimald' snorted and replied, "Don't worry about that. Everyone knows about him."
Everyone present agreed.
In response, a woman sitting on the 'Mana' chair smiled. "But .. I didn't think everything would go so smoothly. I have to admit, choosing Feran Cerces as a doll was the right choice."
"You have to praise me for that" said another woman sitting in a 'Hall' chair'.
The process of choosing 'dolls' can be said to be quite complicated. All Paradise Falls had to select each candidate one by one, and finally Feran Cerces.
The person most instrumental in the selection process was the current heir of the Hall family, Meika Hall.
Meika has done many things; ranging from field investigations, target suggestions, and many other troublesome things.
All that work was something the others avoided, and that was why Meika happily took it. This could also be a contribution point for him.
"Ohh, of course. We are very grateful for that" said a large man sitting in a 'Yacob' chair'. Although her appearance would bring fear to the beholder, she somehow felt completely relaxed and friendly.
Dwayne was naturally happy when he saw the conversation between the members go smoothly, so he took the initiative to start the main part.
"Well, it's time to share reports."
Dwayne took out a few sheets of paper from the empty space, and handed them to each person.
On the blank paper it was clearly written all the things he had to report.
"First, and foremost, our plans so far are still going very well. Feran Cerces has moved closer to the upper echelon by carrying the 'file' we have prepared."
All members of Paradise Falls are the last descendants of the eight great Aino families. Their family's fortunes have been shattered, trampled upon disrespectfully by enemies who call themselves the 'Swallow Life Order'.
Naturally, this brought hatred to all the remaining family members.
Hundreds of years passed, and the hatred had not subsided in the slightest. Their only ambition for now is to finish off every part of that organization.
So far, there have been no plans with promising prospects. However, all that changes when the Minster family's last descendant, Dwayne Lee Minster finally volunteered to sneak into the organization.
For those who regarded the Swallow Life Order as the greatest enemy, disguising themselves as their members was a very dishonorable, and disgusting act.
Even so, Dwayne still recklessly accepted all the dirt attached to his family name, and tried to be accepted in the Swallow Life Order.
His efforts were not in vain. He was successfully accepted, even becoming a branch official called 'Kru'.
From that moment on, the plan was in motion.
He starts from interacting with the 'doll candidate', Feran Cerces, then slowly pulls him into the organization.
That way, Dwayne and everyone in Paradise Falls can control the woman as they please. And now, Feran is bringing a 'trap' that Paradise Falls has prepared for the upper echelon of the Swallow Life Order.
All plans have gone well so far. It was only a matter of time until the upper echelons received their 'gifts.
"Once again, that's amazing." Velickus Amana could not help the praise that came out of his mouth.
As a descendant of the Amana family that had triumphed in the past, the destruction of the Swallow Life Order was the thing he was most looking forward to.
"Then? How's proceeding? Do you think everything will go well too? " ask Velickus.
Without much fret, Dwayne replied, "It's still uncertain, but chances are everything will be fine. After all, we have his support."
" ………? "
Not only Velickus Amana, but everyone there tilted their heads in confusion.
Dwayne smiled. "'He called Himself 'Noir'. Do you feel familiar with that name? "
Looking down at everyone one by one, all Dwayne got was a head bob without any confirmation.
No one knows the name Noir.
"Dwayne, do you know anything? " a woman named Milsy nu Anson asked. He hoped to find out who exactly this figure was, which even Dwayne needed to show respect when offending his existence.
In response, Dwayne shook his head.
"I don't know anything either. But, I have my own guess."
Another paper emerged from the empty air, and flew towards everyone one by one.
On the paper it was exposed to several names arranged in the form of detailed lists. Everyone's eyes stared at and read all those names carefully.
"Actually, there were too many names to make the list, but I did the elimination to see which one was most likely the identity of the figure."
"'He' is a person who knows all our families well, which means 'He' has been since the heyday of our families and nations. At that time, the gods were completely inactive."
The gods began to actively lower their influence in the real world when Goddess Anastasia appeared before mankind. Which means, the figure of Noir is most likely not a true god.
"Wait, I think I'm starting to understand." Bernadict Grimald frowned while stroking his chin.
Seeing that, Dwayne smiled.
"There aren't many names I can get from the archives, but there's one very definite possibility."
It was not Dwayne, or even Bernadict who continued, but the man who had been silent since, Lucasi Olden.
"'He' was originally a human being, yes …."
Dwayne was convinced that the Noir he met was a god. However, the gods are not at all known to exist during the heyday of the Aino people. In fact, at that time the gods were nothing more than manifestations of the human imagination that began to go crazy due to suffering.
Therefore, everyone who heard Dwayne's conclusion would not want to think, that Noir is not a true god who was born naturally.
"Wait, doesn't that mean he … "
Aaron Floch nodded. "Tracing the path of deification, as our forefathers once prophesied."
There is one important information that is still passed on to the descendants of the Aino people. The information relates to the 'goddess road', a path that humanity went through to enhance their existence into a god.
Their conclusion at this time:
Noir was originally not a god, but he was somehow able to tread the path of deification, thus transforming into a 'true god'.
That conclusion they got because they saw the fact that there was never a god who appeared in the era of the Aino nation. This conclusion could have been twisted if at some point the strongest fact that the gods had actually appeared since that time.
However, for now, Paradise Falls leaned towards the conclusion they made in their own heads; a path of deification.
"What's the problem, we still don't know who 'He' is'. The golden era of our nation has already passed even before the demon lord attacked. It was seven hundred years before the gods began to appear."
It could be that this 'Noir' figure is a human who lives after the era of the Aino people, because the story of the Aino people still survives for centuries. It does not rule out the possibility that Noir knows the nation from a past story.
But if so, it will be even harder to uncover who Noir really is.
After spending a lot of time thinking, Aaron Floch finally sighed.
The tall man with sharp eyes and having a name similar to the hero glanced at Dwayne and everyone in turn.
"We still can't reveal this. Anyone, please do an investigation to find this figure. I still can't calm down if there's a foreign variable in our plan."
Their plans are already highly structured, making all sorts of estimates. However, if any one unexpected variable appeared, then the plan would be instantly chaotic.
They could only hope that the existence of Noir would not mess up the plans they had been putting together for many years.
Milsy nu Anson nodded. She was a beautiful woman with shiny black hair, with a dejected look and a very distinctive sleepy face.
Dwayne, who was most active during this discussion took place was naturally appointed the leader of the discussion today. When everyone was done with their discussion, each of them started to look at him, making Dwayne laugh and pat his hand.
"Alright, I think that's all we have to report. If there is anything, do not hesitate to contact each other. Regarding the investigation into Noir's identity, I'll leave it to you."
After all, Dwayne still did not dare to interact, or even delve into the past about Noir. That's why he'll leave this matter to a more suitable person.
"Good, see you next month." Fushi Yacob stood up from his chair, followed by the other audience.
Instantly, a speck of light appeared in the center of their chest, and it began to move and rotate on the round table.
One by one the names were formed, and each name had one thread of light directly connected to their chest.
Dwayne Lee Minster, Aaron Floch, Milsy nu Anson, Bernadict Grimald, Meika Hall, Fushi Yacob, Lucasi Olden, and Velickus Amana.
After all those names were formed, their figures began to fade, and the ruins of the building with the round table were left silent like no one had ever touched it.
