Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

[OP: ]

The four abductors that had infiltrated the great learning institution- Kaksha- had someone manage to find a forgotten room in some secret space inside the institution that not even the current Grand order knew about… and since not even the divine, all seeing eyes could reach this place, this was the only place inside the entire institution that was completely hidden from all the eyes.

And there had not been any individual that knew about this place in this era so… aside from the gods that the individuals of this era served and the direct subordinates of the gods, there should have been no one left in this world that knew anything about this place.

Though, of course… as someone that knew the entire construction structure of this place, the one that used to be the White hooded elder knew about this place…

[{ "Who wants to wake them up?" }]

[{ "Hehehe, can I do it~? Please, please, pretty please~?" }]

[{ "Well, sure?" }]

Located deep within the labyrinthine corridors of Kaksha's passages of the underground floor that few knew about, a forgotten secret room was shrouded in mystery and darkness.

The air within was thick here, filled with more holy energy than anywhere on the surface with the musty scent of old parchment- secret records of the hidden past that not many knew about including the ones that had brought the abducted individuals here- and the faint echoes of long whispered incantations, that were somehow still present in this air.

[{ "The rest of them are of no use to us so make sure to deal with them carefully if anything out of place happens." }]

[{ "The chances of anything wrong happening from here on out aren't that high anyway but still… as you said, we should be careful." }]

The president- the golden hooded elder- was standing at the very back of the room with his partner and family, observing everything before him with his shared beastly gaze.

Strange symbols and runes were etched into the walls, glowing softly as if imbued with a life of their own. And since this was the only chance they had to be in this place, they had to make up for every moment they were here.

[{ "This is as fascinating as you said they would be…" }]

Incantations and ancient runes weren't the only things that were present in this place.

Along with the ancient scrolls and scriptures of the orthodox period, there was a mountain of knowledge present in this place that couldn't just be considered ordinary.

Everything here was unique and special and since they were here to do bad things anyway, they had already planned to get as much from this place as they possibly could.

That was the reason their President and Eon were working while the two ladies were looking at the abducted children that they had put into a deep sleep with a potent elixir.

[{ "There are more forgotten places around the world that are more fascinating." }]

In the centre of the room stood a solitary pedestal, upon which rested an ancient tome bound in pure white leather and clasped with silver. The pages within this specific special text were said to hold forbidden knowledge, secrets that were never meant to be uncovered…

It was a text written in a special language mixed with the original runes as well, and the peculiarity of this tome was the very reason Eon had put it away in his [White gate] the moment they arrived here.

[{ "Alright I'm waking them up." }]

The air grew colder as one approached this secret place, and a chill ran down one's spine when they were near it.

It was a special space that even the four of then had difficulty getting into, but thanks to the particular set of skills that these individuals possessed they were able to get here as easily as those possessing the key to this place might have been able to in the ancient times.

-Swiiiiiiiiiiiish…

Winds did not blow here naturally… if one had a sharp enough sense of smell, they would be able to tell it was a breath released by an unfathomable being that rested right beneath this place.

Shadows danced along the walls here, and one could hear faint whispers beckoning one closer. It was a strange place… and that was the reason even in the past, it was called the [Solitary confinement] of the great institution.

But in an eerie place like this, they were keeping a bunch of young students that they had abducted from the surface with only one objective present behind these actions of theirs.

-Ooooooooooooong!

With a special antidote, the elder in the purple- Rein- woke up the sleeping children. And by the time they all came to their senses, all four of the elders that these children had seen along with the knight captain a while ago were standing before them… looking down at them with their eyes that were the only visible things in their nodded appearances.

[{ "Starting the next phase." }]

The two boys had their own work to do here but for that, they did not need something like a separate focus.

The plan was already in motion and they were only going to ask these children some questions to which they only had to answer truthfully.

The ones who answered with their pure hearts would be released while if they do not do that, they would receive a punishment by the gods they served.

[{ "The target has regained his senses. Releasing hallucinogen." }]

They had Celes and her perfect disguise as well as an abundance of natural mana that they could use from this place.

They had already prepared a good lot in the last hour these children were sleeping, and now that they were done with everything they needed to do, the basics at least, they were starting the end stage of their task.

[{ "No traces of demonic energy found after initial scan." }]

[{ "No trances of any demonic interaction found from my side either." }]

[{ "Criteria one, undetected. Good." }]

The saint of Meyat, Lumiare was one of the captives but not the only one that they were truly interested in.

{ "Wake up, children." }

They had gathered all the individuals that had either had any kind of previous relationship with him, or even had any kind of reported intersection with him in the last few weeks.

"Mmmmm…"

"What's…"

"Mother…"

"….oh lord."

The notion that rumours always have some kind of source is a contentious one, as it depends on how one defines a (Source) in the context of that rumour's propagation.

While it's true that most rumors can be traced back to an initial seed of information or event, this does not necessarily mean that the source is always verifiable or reliable.

Just like this case…

There were only rumors floating around that the saint of Meyat was connected to the demonic association that attacked the individuals in Lakmer.

There was no evidence of that happening, and it was also very unlikely that it was the case.

Though, still… if some kind of rumour existed and it had reached even the ears of the headmaster, they knew there was at least some kind of connection with this rumour and the events that were happening— the truth.

"Why… are you here?" When the young saint came back to his sense and looked around the place, instead of being stunned by what's was happening having any kind of surprise, he was curious why the people that he had seen with the knight captain before the code blue was announced were here.

He was smart and much more rational than they had expected him to be.

And in addition to that, from how he was acting calm even after figuring out that the source of the Code that was announced were these very individuals, they were impressed.

{ "Please be calm, children." }

They didn't want the rumours to have any kind of truth to them. Instead, after seeing him and learning a few things about him, they wanted to know more about him.

And if possible, get him to come to their side…

"…"

One argument against the idea that rumors always have a source is that they can sometimes emerge from collective imagination or shared cultural narratives. In these cases, the origin of the rumor is not a specific event or piece of information, but rather a more abstract idea or archetype that resonates with a group of people.

But it wasn't the case in this scenario as they had already confirmed.

He had a good reputation and there was no reason for someone to have spread such powerful rumours about him that even the authorities cannot keep them contained within Kaksha.

In their last few hours here, the only thing they had checked for were things that could have led to the origin of these rumours and they had failed to find anything even after that detailed investigation.

There were a few noteworthy things that they had found out about this young saint but even they weren't significant enough to lead to such dangerous rumours.

But still…

If there were any chances that those rumours had any relation with him, they had to first take the necessary steps here, and Then report their findings to the headmaster.

{ "We know you are confused and afraid little ones, however, if you calmly listen to what we have to say… you will soon return to where you belong with an even better connection with the divinities than you have right now." }

-Oooooooooooooooong!

The lights in the room lit up, revealing a place that… unexpectedly calmed the anxious hearts of young children of the holiness.
