Blood Of Platinum
Chapters 419. History of the Past. 2
“Uwaaaa!!”
The sound of shouting was heard and loud enough to make the people around it shocked.
“I...I feel like I was hanged before this.” Ryou said.
Kaito tried to catch his breath and said, “It's not how you feel, Ryou. I am also sama”
Ryou panicked and looked around. They were like wearing other strange clothes and in their hands now, there was a sword.
Right now, the four of them were sitting on a long stone chair leaning against the wall. In front of them, it was exactly a huge road that many people were walking on. It is like a place in the days of war.
“What's happening now? This where?”
Ryou immediately saw the older brother and Xenon who were still unconscious.
“Oi, Cinema! Xenon!”
Kaito looked at the state of the two and patted their cheeks slowly.
“Kino? Kino, open your eyes. Xenon, let's get up” he said slowly
“Mm...” both start moving and open their eyes slowly. “Ryou? Kaito...-san?” kino was half conscious.
“Nii-san!” Ryou hugged the hysterical kayak. In a panic, he examined Kino's entire body, “You're injured no?! Is anyone sick?! Can you hear my voice?!”
“Ukh..” Xenon trying to move. It seems that he experienced something unpleasant a while ago. “I feel like I just got up from the dead” murmured while leaning his head back against the wall.
Kaito patted Xenon on the shoulder to congratulate him from the bottom of his heart, “Congratulations, not only are you the one who rose from the dead. We just died hanged a moment ago and now.we are in a strange place again”.
Xenon's eyes were wide open and he didn't know what was really going on. All the passersby had in common their hair was golden yellow and silver which signified they were half elves.
Xenon even noticed the clothes they were wearing.
“It..”.
“Freak clothes that I don't know myself. When I woke up, I saw that we were all wearing them. Already so..the atmosphere here looks not right”
Ryou's words made sense. The situation there could not be called good at all. Why that? Because their expressions looked like they were ready to hear bad news.
“This..where the half elves live. I'm not sure but the one previously hanged earlier was also half elf” Xenon said slowly
“What? So what was it before?”
“I don't know. This is clearly not the present but the past. It's just..why can?” Xenon himself seemed confused and unsure of what he was saying. “Why can we be here and what makes us here?”
Kino who helped the sister to sit properly said, “The strange book that was in the room..”.
“Book?”
“When Xenon-san wants to touch it, the book shines and there is a white light. I'm sure it's all from the book”
Xenon. Not only him, but his sister and Kaito himself do not remember that much. It seems that the one who remembers all of that is just a Kino.
“I don't remember that. You sure, Kino?” ask Kaito
“I'm sure, Kaito-san. The book was like dragging us and if I was right, when we were hanged earlier, the sentence we spoke unconsciously was likely from a body that represented a real figure in the past”
“Means?”
“The incident was real and the one who died at the gallows was half elf. This is the past of the book and also the origin of the magic book”
Kino could easily draw a conclusion that approached the situation. Although it is actually only 70% of the original, but it is quite good and acceptable.
There is still a point of doubt in Kino's heart about the conclusion of the hypothesis he created himself, but what makes sense today is the explanation just now.
Kaito is starting to look serious.
“We are in the past of the book?”
“That's it, Kaito-san”. Kino took her breath slowly and began to explain everything in her mind calmly.
“Now, our figure here is likely to represent the figure of half elves who are here”
“As you know that the Artifact is basically a magic weapon made by half elves and beastmen from the blood of their comrades who have fallen in battle”
“Death at the gallows, death while fighting and death while escaping from battle are the definitions of death in battle itself”
“I'm sure after this we will experience things that are not much different from the ones I mentioned”
And really long life, no. It was very short for the four of them to live there.
They had to die again because of the attack of troops from the kingdom who bombarded the place with a shower of magic balls.

“I hate that place!!!”
There was a familiar scream.
“I can't believe not only can't use magic, but we can only be silent when they kill us! I feel like I've been short 20 years!”
The grunt was directly conveyed by Ryou. “I can't stand it! Now which other half elf body are we wearing?!”
The brother tried to calm his sister who had been screaming like asking for help from the local government, “Ryou, calm down. Don't be angry again ya”
“Awas only if this dies again!” he said annoyed
Kaito could only pay attention to both palms while wondering inwardly.
‘This is the book's past, meaning it is in the memory of the blood that made the book Artifact’
‘Did Mark Vermillion also experience this?’
‘In addition, only the memory of death and slaughter is shown as if they were trying to tell us all the actual events’
‘Is there any clue as to what Rebellenarmee is after other than to retaliate for this past incident?’
As Kaito thought seriously about being alone, Kino saw a figure who came up with something with him.
“What...it?”
The three looked and approached the crowd of people in front. The figure that came was carrying four ordinary-looking weapons.
Xenon pulls Kino and Ryou's hands away from her. He also asks Kaito to keep his distance to stay nearby.
All four saw a very terrible thing and it was the beginning of a past that was never revealed in the country's historical articles.
