章節 19: Vision 6 - Flipping it Over (1)
On the next day, I went to meet up with Bob. It was at the same place we met yesterday. The middle-aged man was wearing the same trekking clothes and had two axes.
" Good morning sir. "
" Good morning. "
We greeted each other and then he handed me one of the axes. Yesterday I asked him to lend me an ax for today as well, I didn't buy one since I won't be needing it again.
" Let's go. "
I nodded. As we walked, Bob looked at me up and down, Well I had my usual black clothes and jacket, but I had something else that caught his attention.
" You have a fancy sword. "
" Oh, this? "
I pulled out my sword. It was the sword Persephone talked about.
" It was a sword with the blessing of the church. "
" Oh. You must have gotten it from the church. "
He was right. The church of Brigians distribute swords to the people who wanted them. People usually take them to give the sword to their children who want to practice sword art.
But the one I had was dipped in holy water. The church always had a sword put on display which was constantly under running holy water.
Originally, I planned to steal that sword, but they changed the sword one of the nights, so I asked them to give me the one they replaced.
"But, You have attached a lot of the keys to it. "
" I wanted to symbolize it, as a sword that could unlock anything. "
" That is a great thought. "
" Thank you. "
I have also attached a hundred keys to the hilt of the sword.
For the two days, I roam around the city and picked up all the keys I could find, the keys were the ones Persephone calls the Trash.
" Great thought? I am telling you, You picked up garbage. "
I ignored the beautiful voice that came from beside me. Anyone who doesn't know will react the same way, but it will come in handy.
After walking for half an hour, once again we reached to the location Bob took me the day before for wood cutting.
" Are we cutting at the same place? "
" Yes? "
I calmly asked that question while looking around like I was observing the area.
" I think the place had enough wood cutting, we shouldn't over-cut it. "
" You think? "
The place itself was not overcut, but today I had a plan on cutting the wood at a different location.
" So you want to cut woods somewhere else? "
"Actually there is a place I found a while back, It had some amazing quality wood. "
" Really? Where? where is it? "
When I talked about good quality wood Bob's face lit up, he was practically bouncing like a kid. The forest was packed with trees, but having good quality woods is always better.
"It's not very far, we just have to go a little deeper into the forest, we will reach it in an hour. "
" Deeper? How deep exactly. "
" Not too deep. It is near the lake. I think People call it 'Silver lake'. "
[ The Nubecula 'Dionysus' is listening to you. ]
As soon as I said the word 'silver lake'. Bob's face lost its color. I expected this reaction.
" Silver Lake? I don't think you know, but that lake is dangerous. "
" Really? "
" Yes. There are all sorts of rumors. "
What he said was true, People of the city call it the red area. There were rumors of people going to see the lake but they never came back.
Some spread rumors about the lake having a guardian and some said the area has too many strong monsters, but all of them were wrong.
" I have also heard those, but I have been to the lake myself. There was nothing. "
" You have been to the 'Silver lake'? "
" I have, and the place is beautiful. "
[ The Nubecula 'Dionysus' Comments " when did you visit the lake? " ]
[ The Nubecula 'Gumiho' Comments " You Bad Boy. " ]
[ Some Nubeculas also want to know about the visit to the lake. ]
Finally, Dionysus is commenting. Well, I have never been to the lake myself before, but I have seen it in my dreams. I need bob there with me, but he was hesitating, I could see him thinking hard about it.
" How about we just go and you can see the wood for yourself. If you find the place dangerous we will leave right away. "
I can not feel his emotions like Persephone but I could tell he wanted to say no, but the talk about wood was creating uncertainty. He was a woodcutter by heart that's why I need him there.
" Okay, Since you are a good person, and just as passionate about wood cutting. I will go with you, I think if I say no you'll go by yourself."
I was speechless for a second, I was not expecting that as an answer. Why was he thinking about my safety? Sometimes these people are hard to understand, anyway I was getting what I wanted.
" Thank you. We will go back if you want, don't worry. "
[ The Nubecula 'Dionysus' is curious about you. ]
We walked deeper into the forest, there were sounds of animals coming from all sides. On an evolved planet like Teraa, animals have also become stronger and tougher.
Bob was nervous because of that, even though evolved animals are unusual for someone like me. They are normal for people on this planet.
He was just probably worried about the guardian animal of the lake, but it was not a problem, since there was no guardian. Well, technically it will not be a guardian.
After walking for an hour we reached our destination, Silver Lake. The lake itself was not silver, but it was very clean and was shining because of the sunlight.
" Amazing, it is more beautiful than the place before. "
Bob was amazed looking at the scene, the view was more beautiful than the place bob usually cut woods. The middle-aged man walked toward one of the trees and rub his hand on its trunk.
I watched him and spoke.
" So what do you think? Do you like it? "
" Yes. The tree here is of very good quality. It is like life is filled into the trees. "
" So you will cut wood here, Woodcutter Bob? "
" Yes. "
Bob was really excited to cut the wood of the highest quality. As soon as Bob agreed to cut the wood, I heard a message.

As soon as I read the message, a smile formed on my face. A hidden script. I was aiming for this, even though it was here nobody was able to find it.
" We are on Hidden script? You said you wanted to go to school first. "
It was Persephone who complained. It was true I was going to go straight to the Trivia, but when we arrived at 'Brigians' I remembered that this city had a hidden script.
[ The Nubecula 'Dionysus' is Smilling excitedly. ]
The only person who knew about the existence of this Hidden Script is Dionysus. I only knew about it because I saw Dionysus talking about it in my dreams.
A part of my dream went through my head.

[ Your perception has increased. ]

<.... Hermus and Dionysus were Sitting at the table of the conference.
Dionysus was drinking with his usual fancy cup. Hermus looked at him.
" You drink too much. "
" Ha. one can not drink too much, You are just boring. "
" Says the guy who always who used to watch a woodcutter, anyway what's the deal with that. "
Dionysus looked from his wine cup which was just as fancy as him.
" hmm? I will tell you since he is already dead. He was the source of a hidden script. "
" Hidden script. "
" Yeah, there was a hidden script in his town. You just have to take him there."
" it was there and nobody found it? "
"Nobody was able to find it because you need a companion with extreme woodcutting skills. He was the only one who fit the description. I was curious if anyone will be able to take him. "
Dionysus explained the story of the woodcutter while drinking from his glass.
" Was it worth it? "
Hermus's question was understandable everyone wants to know about hidden script
" Eh. It really depended on the knowledge "
It was a vague answer, but that was all Dionysus told him, and went back to drinking ....>
I smiled as the scene played out in my mind like a projection. I looked towards Bob who was still rubbing his hand on the trunk.
" Since we are already here. Why not reap the benefits? "
[ The Nubecula 'Who Like Cigars And Candy' Comments " you are just lucky. " ]
[ The Nubecula 'Whose Heart Bleeds For Heartbroken' comments " Good luck. " ]
[ The Nubecula 'Gumiho' is excited to watch you clear the script. ]
[ The Nubecula 'Hwang Jini' is observing you. ]
" Shall we start cutting? "
" Yes. As you said this place has good wood and it does not seem dangerous like rumors. "
I smiled and went towards one of the trees to stay a little far away from Bob. Now he will be the main character of the script.
The story of the Honest woodcutter. It was the simple and most popular children's story on earth. Everyone must have heard it once as a child.
I had to create that and let it go according to its script.
Bob Picked up the ax in his hand and positioned himself to cut the wood. Then the scene started to change, Suddenly I could only see Bob. His trek clothes change to medieval poor style clothing and as he used his skill, his action and words from the story started to mix together.
[ The lower Existence 'Bob High' has used woodcutting Lvl.5 ]
A voice resounded in my head like an echo.
| Once in a village, there was an Honest woodcutter, He always goes deep into the forest near the lake to cut woods. |
Bob was cutting the wood very passionately. I could feel his passion and work behind the sweat he had on his forehead. The words from the script resounded again throughout the surrounding.
| The woodcutter was very poor and did not have any other income aside from wood cutting. He made his passion his profession. |
Suddenly The middle-aged man who worked at a corporation agency and had fancy trek clothes looked too poor to me.
| One of these days, The woodcutter again went into the forest near the lake to cut woods. He was working hard. The woodcutter was swinging his ax, then suddenly his ax slipped from his hand. The ax flew from his hand and got dropped into the lake. |
As the words were coming out, the power of the script was increasing, It was also affecting Bob as he was swinging his hand very fast.
Now was the time his ax should fly from his hand and fall into the river, I had to create it, I already had a plan. I looked towards Persephone, our eyes meet and she flew towards bob without much reaction.
I had already told her to make bob ax fly into the lake. When I told her she asked why I wanted that, but now it should be obvious. She flew towards him and very gently slapped the ax that Bob was swinging.
As the Ax flew from his hand, I also threw my sword with the keys that I had. Both Ax and sword dopped into the lake.
Now it was time to proceed with the script, but it will not end the way it ended in the story, I am gonna flip it over.
