Daryl then added, “With great masters already there are very few and rare, you might wonder why such a powerful force would and could summon so many of them from all over the world. Well, you know, no one would have known about the truth behind that event if they hadn't taken part in the promise of holy water in the first place! Anyway, I told you to stay because there's a very important clue to all this that I want to tell you. ”
"What's that?"
“Yes, I know that you are constantly investigating the Sun League. There was a picture engraved on the stone tablets that were dug up, and I think it was very similar to the place depicted on the holy water sign. I'd like to study it with you. Call it a hunch, but I feel it is closely related to the promise of holy water. ”
“From what you said, it really seemed relevant. If one successfully participates in the promise of holy water, it is possible that the secret of Matahari— League which has been a puzzle for almost a thousand years— can finally be solved!”
Despite knowing full well that those who participated in the promise simply disappeared or went insane before dying, Gerald was still very excited to take the lead.
What kind of life did the people from within the Sun League live? Who are their members?
After suffering for over a year, would he finally be able to solve those questions?
Regardless, Gerald finally understood why Finnley claimed that it was better to kill himself when Gerald told him that he would investigate the Sun League a year ago. Finnley must have been aware that only great masters could uncover their secrets, and even if they managed to do so, no answer would come back with them— to the ordinary world of— once the event was over. After all, the participants disappeared or went crazy!
“For a while now, I have noticed that something is weighing on your mind. You even call all the family members to observe the sun picture! So this is what it is ... "
“Indeed... As you already know, I may not be able to return after I have made this trip... If I do not leave a picture of the sun with you, I may not be able to return, then I will truly be a great sinner to the Crawford. family!" daryl replied while shaking his head.
"Rejected. First of all, my name is the name engraved on this holy water sign, so they must be expecting me. Second, once they find out that you are only a semi-great master, it will give them more reasons not to allow you to participate. I know how much you love me, Gerald. After all, you always obey.
At this point, Daryl, one of the strongest who had ever lived, suddenly burst into tears!
“...I...I couldn't find a way to save you…! I'm also not sure how things will end for me once I make this trip. Gerald, know that you are the future of the Crawford family, then our family will drown together with you!” shouted Daril.
While he has claimed that he will be looking for a way to get things done, having been told about the images of the sun's divination, what else can he do?
Hearing that, Gerald started crying as well. Although she was not afraid of death, as she now realized what was to come, she knew that she had to start moving away from everyone. That alone was enough to fill it with sadness.
“...Please do not be sad, grandfather... When that day comes, I will definitely fight them until my last breath!” gerald said as he clenched his fists tightly.
Looking at his grandson, Daryl then nodded firmly before replying, “...After all, the woman in white that Lyra keeps mentioning seems to have something to do with you! How vague, after all, I must say that Lyra really surprised me this time… I've heard from your father that he is the only one who can see the broken stone statue on the map traced from the stone slab! He was the only person who could see and decipher the sun image prophecy as well today! What exactly is its origin? You know, I even secretly investigated it when your parents picked her up at the beach, yet I found nothing at the time. After all, it never occurred to me that he would have such an ability.”.
Hearing that, Gerald fell silent, feeling confused as well as confused.
While some of the revelations seem to have made things somewhat complicated, Gerald can sense that he is also getting closer to the truth now.
