“Changje’s… Real name?”
“Yes. real name. Before he was a citizen of Yeonguk, he was a citizen of the Kingdom of Feyre. There is no way he, the chief alchemist and national treasure, would not have a name.
In fact, he was an outstanding alchemist of his time, and a person of that caliber is bound to become well-known. Like the Sword Saint and the Demon Emperor.”
“I don’t know their names.”
“But aren’t there names for those two? And don’t people from all over the world know that name? The name Changje has been around for hundreds of years. It’s just that Yeonguk people don’t remember.”
Although the humans of this land do not remember.
People in other countries know Changje’s real name.
‘Besides, the directors didn’t know the last name either.’
I asked this before.
Do you know the last name Barbarossa?
[if. Do you know the last name Barbarossa?]
[Do you mean Barbarossa?]
[yes. They say it was a castle that belonged to a nobleman in the past. We also found a few people. It is also important that Yeonguk people know.]
[I don’t know why… Let me answer first. It’s a surname I’ve never heard of.]
A typical Yeonguk citizen would not know.
It is natural to see that the board members, who should know a lot of information, do not know.
But that doesn’t guarantee that you won’t know.
The imperial family and the Holy Emperor also do not know any information related to my reincarnation.
Because I myself know about reincarnation.
“So, let me ask you. Do you know Changje’s real name? A name that was forgotten among the people of Yeonguk because the records of this land from hundreds of years ago were completely lost. Do you know its name?”
Depending on what you say, the results will vary.
If you know just one thing, you will reap a great harvest.
Because you might be able to get some clues about the work.
“I don’t know.”
But she answered that she didn’t know.
It wasn’t much of a problem.
Because I didn’t think you would know anyway.
“But the empire knows. His forgotten name. Shall I tell you?”
“Aren’t you going to say it anyway?”
“It was like that.”
How did know.
Was it that easy for me to get a feel for his personality?
“This country, located in the northwestern part of the empire, had a naming method that was different from other countries. It was a place full of amazing castles and even more amazing names. From the empire’s perspective.”
Of course, my name, Abraxas, and my last name, Mentutihotep, are also strange names.
However, just as Ephesus Le Bretren seems more plausible than Uoc Quoc Nguyen.
To people who live here, it seems strange that the country has many Russian names.
“The name given by the creator’s parents is Mikhail. It’s a name that’s not that special.”
“Not common… ”
“It’s not a name that’s hard to find. ruler. That’s not really important. Because there are more important things left.
Yeonguk people probably have the most surnames in the world. Other nations had nobles or genealogies. After the destruction of this land, numerous people claimed the surname.”
A similar thing happened in Korea.
This is because it was very common to change one’s surname to follow that of a royal family member.
In a world where nobility and commoners were divided according to genealogy.
The last name has completely lost any meaning.
The biggest cause was the Korean War.
“Because there was no way to prove one’s last name, and the assets one had became meaningless… It was just accepted as is.”
“But even then, there are surnames that were never used. This is the castle of the Feirwa Duke family, the former royal family of this country. And it was the castle of the founder.
The reason these three were not used was simple. Unlike other people who could be considered borderline aristocrats, they were just normal people.”
Even if a rich person goes bankrupt, it lasts three years.
Even though something so terrible happened that I couldn’t last even a year, let alone three years.
For decades after the incident, the upper class of the kingdom, the dukedom and the royal family, continued to exist.
During the countless years of rebirth from the Kingdom of Feyre to the Kingdom of Yan. Although people’s last names have changed.
The surnames of the founders of the royal and ducal families were not impersonated.
“Wang Gaya Even so, why is Changje’s last name?”
“Do you want to hear it? It’s a pretty terrible story, isn’t it?”
This story is difficult to tell to most people in the country.
To Koreans, it would be like revealing the secrets of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.
Of course, that doesn’t mean the general actually did that.
For Yeonguk people, creation has that level of presence.
“They are all dead. People who use Changje’s last name and say they are related to Changje’s family.”
Why I heard Lily’s last name and thought she had something to do with inventions.
That’s because the founder’s immediate descendants have already died a long time ago.
Changje’s family had already died hundreds of years ago, except for Changje himself.
Lily was taken aback by those words.
“What… ? why… ?”
“The cause of this division was its creation. To be exact, the person in charge was the creator.”
“Unfairly… I’m saying I was slandered… ?”
“No. It’s the opposite. It was because it was so outstanding. Technology developed faster than human perception, and the law could not keep up.”
This actually happens in real life too.
You can go to the moon with the cheap @10 cell phone I bought.
Because that’s the level of performance.
“As a result, they were held responsible and purged while the royal family was still intact. The guilt-by-association system was abolished long after that.”
It has been less than 100 years since Emperor Seonseondae abolished the guilt-by-association system.
This means that until then, the guilt-by-association system was practiced very often.
Therefore, Changje’s entire family, who had committed serious sins, was purged at that time.
Naturally, the last name Barbarossa was forgotten over time, and there was no one left who remembered it.
“The empire… You even know that… ?”
I do not know.
I failed to figure it out in the first place.
The great economic depression that occurred at the time.
In order to prevent this, the Empire and the Holy Emperor initiated an investigation with the cooperation of the Mado Republic.
Because I found out very little.
‘How can they find something that even a saint couldn’t find in the first place? I didn’t know what happened at WFS until I heard it directly from Changje.’
Past poetry, which looks at the saint’s past, naturally relies on perspective.
It’s not like you’re just passing on information about the past.
When the nation itself is divided due to such characteristics.
Information was fragmented countless times.
The royal castle was actually split into thousands of pieces.
Unless you tracked down the fragments one by one, you could only see extremely fragmentary information even by looking at the past.
Moreover, the Dome of Creation, which is presumed to contain correct information, has no intention of opening.
Seonghwangcheong has postponed the investigation of the truth indefinitely.
In fact, it was the same as giving up.
“Of course. Because the Empire knows a lot about everything except what it doesn’t know.”
but. Now, the authority of the empire is more overwhelming than my own authority.
Although appeals to authority are logical fallacies.
There is nothing better than this when it comes to persuasion.
“A lot of things happened. So many years have passed. Time has made us forget everything. Emotions don’t last forever.
It has been 500 years since Yeon-guk virtually collapsed. At that time, the surviving people passed on their blood relatives more than 30 times. In that time, everything was forgotten.”
“I knew the empire.”
“It’s normal not to know. Because no one wanted to know. Even if it was an empire, it would have been difficult to know without the Seonghwangcheong.”
It’s not actually a lie.
If there wasn’t a saint, there’s no way WFS would have known this fact.
If you look at it this way, the saint is really a probability cheat.
There is no space that doesn’t fit.
Even after hearing the shocking story, Lily showed no particular reaction.
It was definitely strange.
Since they heard the reason why they became this mess, it was normal for them to at least react.
If you like inventions, you should be frozen in shock.
If you didn’t think much about the invention, it’s normal to criticize the invention.
In the end, Changje was able to prevent this.
‘There’s definitely something there.’
There was nothing to lose by poking it anyway.
It was right to just push on.
I said it right away.
“That’s exactly what I’m curious about. There are still things I don’t understand.”
“Why on earth did you tell me this? Is it because I’m a homunculus?”
“I’m not sure if he’s pretending not to know or if he’s really pretending not to know. First of all, let me answer that: no.
That’s why I was interested in the first place, but the reason I’m going to the trouble to tell this story now is because there’s another reason.”
The story of WFS is not complete and I wonder if this story will have a happy ending or a sad ending.
Or, no one can know whether it will be a terrible ending.
So you have to take everything into consideration.
Let’s put aside all philosophical issues for a moment. You need to know the answer.
“What is your relationship? Lily Barbarossa. The greatest alchemist of all time and a being called the alchemist of creation. Creation, with a man with the last name of Mikhail Barbarossa?”
Creating the greatest alchemist of all time.
His real name is Mikhail Barbarossa.
And the woman in front of me.
Her name is Lily Barbarossa.
“What… ?”
I don’t know what kind of relationship it is.
As I said, everyone who had his last name is dead.
A blood relative could be alive?
There’s no way the royal family is an idiot, so that can’t happen.
All of his real blood relatives would have been killed long ago.
The reason they killed those who made the claim was only just in case.
And since ordinary Yeonguk people completely changed their surnames, there is no reason to use the surname Barbarossa.
“Barbarossa is a castle where purges have already taken place in this land. If you hid your last name then, there is no reason to reveal it now.
Because the royal family is not an idiot and there is no way they would have missed their true blood relatives. And that too for decades.”
“… No matter how much I think about it, I don’t understand. Even if, as you said, my real last name is Changje’s last name. I heard that Yeonguk people created their own surnames?”
“I wonder if there is anyone who needs to use the last name Barbarossa, which the royal family took issue with. The reason I was able to deceive Seong was when Yeon-guk was collapsing.
After the royal family completely disappeared, the Yeonguk system itself had already stabilized, so there was no reason to use that surname. Because if you try it, you will clearly know that it is an impersonation.”
“What happens after that?”
“The director of Caquille was not impressed when he heard the last name Barbarossa. That means it has been forgotten among the Yeonguk people.
But is there really any reason for people after that to use the last name Barbarossa?”
The more I think about it, the more questions arise.
This woman. He is suspiciously calm when it comes to inventions and such.
You might be embarrassed by what I say.
There is nothing like that, I am just calmly accepting the situation.
However, it doesn’t seem like he knew the truth.
What exactly is it?
“The answer is fixed.”
“What is it? What on earth is the answer?”
She opened her mouth as if she knew something of the truth.
“Homunculus. If I were a homunculus, it would be simple. Those who create homunculi have existed since the birth of Yeonguk.
You must have known Changje’s real name.”
no.
How can you come up with an idea like this?
Isn’t this a thought that could come from a human head?
What on earth is that woman?
Are you an idiot?
“Ha… Are we still talking about the homunculus? Then tell me. A homunculus so great that it wore the name of the creator must of course be important, right?”
“uh.”
“And since homunculi are just puppets that have an ego and absolutely obey orders, they have to convey information directly.
you. Have you ever been like that while you were a real homunculus? Have you ever conveyed information in that way?”
“… None.”
“Then what is a common sense response? It’s killing you. And Lily said she lost her memory a few years ago.”
“… ”
“Then does it really mean that it is a homunculus?”
She couldn’t really refute my words.
I made a hasty decision, but that may be because it was full of strange things.
ruler. What is the truth now?
It may not be revealed now.
But if we can at least get some clue.
That’s enough.
“Lily… ! What’s going on?”
Then, a sound came from behind the shell.
It was the first voice I heard. But it was a voice I knew who it was.
I turned my head and looked back.
“Mother… ?”
When I turned my head, I heard the same sound behind me.
This time it was a familiar voice.
“er. Akasha… Why are you all here… ?”
There were several people by the side of the person Lily called mother.
They were two young children.
Although I won’t know the details.
Based on Lily’s remarks, it was assumed that they were younger siblings.
And my mind became filled with questions.
‘what… ?’
I didn’t understand.
Why is that so?
They must be people as they are Lily’s family.
Even if there were homunculi, I wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.
however. Something inside me is clearly speaking.
At that time, I thought I saw the man by mistake.
“You said you got something good. So the kids said they wanted to go again, so I came.
Originally, I was just going to watch from afar… Since you look like you’re having a hard time… ”
She certainly looks like an ordinary mother who cares about her daughter.
But I felt a great sense of disconnect.
Something that was not human was pretending to be human.
It didn’t contain any emotion, it was just imitation.
All three.
‘It’s clear. These people… !’
They are all homunculi.
Lily Barbarossa. Her family… They are all homunculi.
