Blood Of Platinum
Chapter 283. The Forgotten History. 2
“We have all forgotten the events of 50 years ago and this case regarding discrimination has never been recorded in the great lore of the Magic” School Academy
The three teenagers from the other world were too shocked to say anything. Xenon says back his feelings.
“Honestly, I never remembered any such incident. But, somehow it seems like what you guys said I've heard before”
“I can't remember where and when it happened. It's just like..like it happened a long time ago”
“I don't understand. It was like an old memory I just remembered back”
“So..”.
“The history you told me about, I finally remember. I learned that when I was at the van Houdsen residence. But, I don't remember anymore when it was lost and how could it be lost”
Now they are getting confused. Ryou spoke out all his annoyance.
“Before a while, you said you've learned, right? Then why did you forget and miss this important part? Obviously the history is very much related to this case!”
“If you had realized this first, you would have guessed that the possibility of this case with war had something to do with”
“Try thinking, since this case happened in this western and eastern region, what race did you manage to kill?”
- Deg
Xenon closed his mouth and spoke softly with a face of shock.
“Ras...beastman and half elves in the park”
“Tepat”
“Xenon-san, we realized all that as soon as we read the history of this country. The Artifact weapon that Xenon-san told us about was also a powerful magic weapon made from the blood of the dead”
“Artifact who had great power was once a great power that caused one of the noble families to lose control and could only be controlled by the descendants of the Xelhanien family back then”
“We also learned that there was another incident that caused Mark Vermillion's parents to die. That's what Xenon-san meant by an incident that we don't need to know about right?”
“That incident was a conflict on the parliamentary table that caused a dispute so there was an option to try to carry out a premeditated murder on the family of the hero and his victim was Marquis Vermillion and his wife and daughter”
Xenon is confused by all the long explanations Kino now, “Wait, a showdown? Premeditated murder? That's not the cause of the death of the Vermillion Marquis family I heard”
“Eh?”
“They died in an accident while on holiday and their bodies could not be confirmed as they were already in a state of disrepair. That's what I heard, therefore I said the incident did not need you guys to know”
Kaito is starting to understand now.
“Xenon, it seems this matter is more serious than you thought”
“Kaito-san, what does that mean?” ask Kino
“I'm sure in a magical world like this, there must be a magic that can manipulate or seal memories so that there are one or two human memories locked”
- Deg
Hearing that, Xenon seemed to know the type of magic in question. Xenon's face turned pale and his mind became filled with all prejudices.
‘Memory sealing magic or manipulating memory.I've heard it enter in one of the black magic called [Altergeist Memorygant: Mind Master]’.
‘If it's true, it means I've been exposed to the magic. But when, who and how can?’
‘Just like [Dark Sacrifice], black magic to transform and seal a memory it requires something equivalent or worth. Knowing that the reality of 50 years ago can be forgotten by everyone, that means..’.
“Xenon!” Kaito patted her shoulder
“Ah!” Xenon was shocked
His breath was breathless, like he had just experienced something bad.
“You okay?” ask Kaito
“Kaito..I thought maybe what you said just now was true”.
“About memory?”
“Exchange worth and equivalent?”
“I don't know about that. But, I learned it while sitting on level 2. All the students in the academy have known and remembered all kinds of magic both called magic [Art], reinforcement and black magic”
“.....” all three listen to Xenon
“The characteristic of black magic is that it requires the sacrifice of life. All I think about right now is how many lives were given to use that magic to seal the truth and who did it?”
“I can only assume that the one who did this had been planning a conspiracy like this a long time ago and for that purpose, he made everyone forget about the war 50 years ago and regarding the interracial war”
“Xenon remarks make sense. If the perpetrators do not plan this for a long time, you from the Magic Council will definitely be able to guess immediately that the beastmen are the culprit and concoct on the war in the past”, Kaito confirmed Xenon
“The Magic Council is not stupid, therefore I feel this is anticipation and you guys were already exposed to their attacks before this action started” Ryou added
“Sial! This has been happening for a long time. For what? Is the grudge on the kingdom in the past still there?”
Xenon looks upset. He did not expect that he had forgotten the root of the problems that had occurred lately.
Trying to gather his composure, he took a breath and exhaled slowly. Xenon tried to deduce the main line of the problem.
“The bottom line is, those beastmen and half elves are trying to do something to this country. Likely their first move was to break into the academy and kill a member of the royal family”
“I will guess that Lucas Xelhanien-sama and his three younger sisters will be targeted. Then, if matched based on your explanation then the hero family will be the next target”
“Then Xenon-san will also be included in the list of people to be targeted?!” Kino was panicking
Hearing that, Xenon only smiled wryly. He then replied, “People who come from dirty blood like me will not be touched by them”
“Dirty blood, what is it?”
“Nothing” Xenon speechless
That sentence made the three teenagers from other worlds more convinced that Xenon's problem was not much complicated from the problems now faced.
Kino tried to direct another topic.
“Xenon-san, this afternoon you wanted to say something. What have you got?”
“True too, I want to say. This morning Marquis Vermillion and his troops returned. They bring pretty surprising results”
“Really!”
“True. Even though Mark-sama hasn't told me anything this afternoon, but I do know that there is one or two important pieces of information from him and I can guess. Mark-sama may have held the important key of the information he had”
“Can you get that information, Xenon-san?”
“I'm not sure, Kino. But I...” Xenon was silent for a moment. He remembered the figure of the person who might be able to help him. Although in his heart he was hard pressed to ask for his help, but Xenon did not have much choice.
“I'll ask for help on my brother”
“Kakak...young man you called Rexa-sama?” Ryou tried to make sure
“True. Mark-sama might be limiting the people who know about it. But as for the captain class, I'm sure everyone already knows the information. On the sidelines of the entrance exam tomorrow, I will try to ask her”
Xenon got what he had forgotten.
‘The magic is an ancient magic that has long been forgotten. Sacrifice of life is a condition of activating it’
‘From all these magic there is called conditional summoning magic. The makhuk that will be called is a creature from the ancient magic book that is considered to be the most terrible and cruel creature that has long sealed’
‘The squad used conditional summoning magic to suppress kingdom’
‘My guess this creature will also be their destination. In other words, killing the royal family, killing the hero family and summoning monstrous creatures sealed in the ancient magic book”
‘If it's all done, the thing that will happen is the destruction of this Country and to make it happen, black magic will be the most terrible thing’
‘Based on the history told by Kino, the weapon that could defeat him was Artifact. That means, there is a possibility that the magic weapon will also be a target’
“Sial, why so much! It will be troublesome and so the homework that many” umpat Xenon with an annoyed tone
