Even if you succeed in jobless reincarnation and time magic, you must live life to the fullest.

At the very least, it shouldn't have caused any offense.

……

And the other side.

Ariel was reading the contents of that diary.

I read it calmly and slowly, as if savoring the content of each sentence.

A diary...

In my past life, I also had the habit of writing a diary.

But in the end, that diary contained only bitterness and resentment.

Every time I flip through that diary, my heart is filled with hatred.

and so.

I……

I will no longer write in my diary.

"Snapped!"

Ariel closed the book.

Her expression remained unchanged, appearing very calm...

But perhaps because of some excitement, her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were filled with tears.

There was no trace of confusion in her eyes anymore.

She undoubtedly gained something from that book, something I, as an outsider, could not know.

If Dirich were still alive, he would have personally bestowed certain qualities upon Ariel.

“Hilfi, thank you for finding this book. And Mr. Rudius, thank you for bringing me here.”

she said.

"I understand everything now."

……

After reading the diary, we chose to return it.

No fighting occurred during that time.

Well, I had already given them instructions beforehand.

After returning it.

Ariel, Silphie, and Luke went together to the audience chamber at the aerial fortress.

Ariel had already reached her own conclusion and couldn't wait to report it to Percius.

As for how feasible this answer is, I have no idea.

I did not go to the audience chamber with Ariel.

Instead, he went to see Alsterd.

……

Suburban cabin.

I descended from the sky aboard Icarus.

I detached myself from Icarus's body.

Icarus retracted his light wings and remained in sentry mode, keeping watch outside the door.

"call……"

I took a deep breath.

With a feeling of unease, I knocked on the door.

"Rudeus, you're back."

Alster was sitting in the room with his legs crossed, reading the newspaper.

He looked every bit the boss of a law firm.

Pretty much the same actually.

"Yes, it was returned successfully."

"I'm sure Ariel will understand after reading the diary... By the way, what's with that expression?"

"I'm puzzled," Alstered asked.

Ok……

The expression on my face right now is probably a bit scary.

Perhaps it's because I was a little too impatient.

"Mr. Dragon God, about this book."

I said this.

Place the copy of "On Rostina" that Icarus had finished copying on the table.

Do you know about this book?

Alster opened the book with a puzzled look and began to read it.

He flipped through the pages very quickly.

Did you master speed reading techniques?

Surely you didn't just glance at it casually to brush me off?

"I see."

five minutes later.

Alsterd put down the copybook.

"This is a book written by Laplace, and to be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen it."

"Does Mr. Dragon God know where I can find the original copy of this book?"

I asked eagerly.

however.

After I asked this.

An indescribable expression appeared on Alsterd's face.

"Can't find it."

What does "cannot find" mean?

"This book was written more than four thousand years ago, before Laplace joined the Second War between Man and Demon. After he finished writing it, he placed it in his secluded place on Dragon Roar Mountain."

Longming Mountain...

The book mentions this location.

But it's not on the map.

When I traveled the world in my previous life, I didn't remember such a place.

"Excuse me, where is Longming Mountain?"

"...It's gone."

245. On the eve of departure

Under my persistent questioning.

Alsterd recounted that history.

……

Longming Mountain is located in the Chilong Mountain Range and is the highest peak in the world.

The secluded abode of the dragon king Laplace is also located on Dragon Roar Mountain.

In the second war between humans and demons four thousand two hundred years ago.

Wearing the Armor of the God of War, Badigandi tore the Demon Dragon King Laplace in two.

The destroyed divine jade triggered a massive explosion.

The explosion resulted in the destruction of approximately half of the world's landmass.

This formed the present-day Lingus Sea.

The explosion also affected most of the Crimson Dragon Mountains, with almost two-thirds of it disappearing completely.

Fortunately in misfortune.

Longming Mountain was not affected by the explosion.

however……

It was about four hundred years ago.

The final stages of the Battle of Laplace.

Kalman the Northern God, Percius the Ankylosaurus, and Ulpe the Dragon God.

Engage in the final battle against the demon Laplace.

The duel took place near Longming Mountain.

That duel was earth-shattering.

Laplace recklessly squandered his astonishing magical power.
