Shota's Isekai NTR Adventure - Chapter 1683: Sacred Duel (6)

Chapter 1683: Sacred Duel (6)

In the next few rounds, it was proven that this wasn’t just a one time thing.

After several more relics were broken, I could see that the same thing happened with them.

That just went to show that this wasn’t a one time thing.

This was just how the relics of the demi human race worked…

After confirming this, there was nothing else for me to watch when it came to this Sacred Duel.

After all, I had already seen all that I needed to see.

So I said to King Kashou, “Can we talk in private?”

King Kashou was surprised to hear this, but he slowly nodded in agreement before standing up along with the left and right ministers.

I thought about it before following them.

I had thought about stopping the left and right ministers, but this was their country and it was best if they knew what was happening. King Kashou shouldn’t be the only one that made this decision.

Once we were alone, they looked at me as if they were asking me what had happened.

I didn’t waste any time in telling them what I discovered.

“Are you certain of this?” King Kashou asked in a heavy voice when I finished telling them everything.

I just simply gave a nod in response since there was nothing else that I could say.

That made the three of them knit their brows even more before looking at each other as if they were trying to figure out what to do. However, it was clear by the way that they exchanged looks that none of them had an idea of what to do with this information.

I didn’t blame them since I knew that it was a hard choice.

After a long silence, King Kashou suddenly asked, “What happens to the ancestors that are swallowed.”

I was surprised since I didn’t expect this question before having to think about it since I didn’t know the answer to this.

After thinking for a bit, I finally said, “This isn’t something that I can really say since I don’t have an idea of what happens either. This is a matter of the gods, so it isn’t as if this is something that mortals would have an idea of.”

But it didn’t seem like this was an answer that they were satisfied with based on how they were looking at me.

It seemed that they wanted me to just give them my best guess.

So in the end, I had to think about it again before giving an answer.

The answer that I gave was based on my understanding of divine energy and what gods are.

“If they are swallowed, it isn’t as if they will stop existing since they were demi humans that had existed before. The only thing that would be taken from them is the divine energy that they gained after receiving the faith of their tribes. So in the end, they would lose their position as gods and become normal spirits.”

After I finished with this explanation, there were confused looks that appeared on the faces of the three in front of me.

They looked at me as if they were wondering if I even knew what I was talking about.

So in response to this, I just said with a shrug of my shoulders, “This is my best guess. Like I said, this is in the domain of the gods, it isn’t something that we mortals would know about. This is just the guess that seems the most likely based on the information that I have.”

It took a while, but they slowly nodded as if they understood that this was the case.

But that didn’t seem to help them solve their dilemma.

While they were thinking it through, I couldn’t help thinking more deeply about what I had just said.

It isn’t as if the tribe that loses their relic would just stop believing in their ancestor, so even if the relic is gone, the ancestor should still be receiving faith from their descendants.

Does that mean that they would be able to recover their power one day?

But it isn’t as if there are more relics for their descendants to use since the relics were made from the bones of their ancestors. It isn’t as if there were enough bones to make multiple relics in the first place.

I couldn’t help wondering where the divine energy generated by the rest of the faith went…

While I was lost in thought like this, I was pulled back by King Kashou who suddenly said, “I’ve come to a decision.”

When I looked back up, I saw that there was a determined look that was on his face. At the same time, it seemed like the two ministers were just going to go along with whatever King Kashou said.

“We’re going to keep this a secret.”

I wasn’t surprised to hear this, but I still couldn’t help asking, “Do you have a reason?”

“It would be too dangerous for the rest of the Mofu Mofu Kingdom to learn about this. This is something that could push us back into the past where we had fought one another just for survival.”

I couldn’t help raising a brow when I heard this since this wasn’t a story that I had heard before.

The game didn’t actually elaborate on the history of the Mofu Mofu Kingdom, so I didn’t actually know much about the past that he was talking about.

However, it seemed that they weren’t willing to talk about it judging by the looks on their faces. It was clear that this was something that could be considered trauma for them with the expressions that they had.

So once King Kashou came to this decision, there was nothing else that had to be said.

We wrapped up this meeting and returned outside where everyone was waiting for us.

They gave us looks as if they were wondering what happened, but none of us said a single thing.

This was a secret that we agreed to take to our graves.
