Chapter 368 – 105. The Truth About Pantheon Academy (2)
I raised my hand to greet her.
“Tricia. You were there.”
And with her, her own sister, Cecilia, was also there. Recognizing me, Cecilia hurriedly ran towards me and shyly bowed her head.
Cecilia was with Eirin during the rebellion and martial law was imposed. Tricia also fled with them belatedly and was entrusted with her body in Ai Tern’s camp.
Now that the rebellion is over, everyone has returned to their original positions. In advance, I contacted the tobacco shop, the two people’s home.
Tricia and I sat at the table in the atelier. Cecilia was away to prepare her tea with Ai-Lin.
Tricia spoke first.
“I have summarized what Julian-nim told me. Can I tell you right away?”
I nodded. Shortly after the rebellion was concluded.
There was something I hurriedly delivered to Tricia. Tricia is a high elf and an excellent Elementalist. Rosette was also born with the blessing of the spirits, but the way the two used the spirits was different.
If the rosette amplifies the elemental attributes of the spirits and uses the power up to that limit in battle.
Tricia excelled at delicately synchronizing with her spirits.
‘She used that ability,’ she said, ‘and she got a job as a manager at a fancy restaurant.’
That synchronicity has been of great help to me as well. The body of the spirit exists in another world called the bounded world.
The real world and the real world. If you can tune in to the connecting line between them. It was possible to communicate in real time even with spirits far away from each other physically.
“Through Julian-nim’s Teneb, I was able to read the old books in Unir’s Temple. It was something I read at a glance when I was studying theology at the temple, so I was able to shorten the time to interpret its meaning as much as possible.”
Like she said Tricia was originally a priest who followed the will of Unir, the goddess of darkness.
Knowing that fact, I asked her for a favor.
“And I have put together as much of it as possible in this book. Of course, theological metaphors and theories were referred to books that were recorded with great difficulty. I put my own footnote here.”
I opened the book she gave me and looked at it.
***
As befits her excellent workmanship, she has already outlined what I want in her first page.
‘They are hypotheses about the disappearance of the goddess.’
Regarding Unir’s disappearance, even the demon princes, the apostles of the goddess, did not know the whole story.
Ruiril told me that it seems that he disappeared because of Unir’s will. The Demon Princes are beings who have shared some of Unir’s divinity.
So, if Yunir wants to hide it himself. He said that the devil grand dukes who inherited that divinity could never go against that will.
‘But I must find Yunir.’
It was also her mother’s timepiece.
What I’ve been doing on Pantheon Academy’s quests. And it was her mother’s will that she became the owner of Siertia through that quest.
However, even after completing Siertia, the final main quest still remained. Tricia told me.
“And as you can see in the book, the disappearance of the goddess is similar in time to the record of the first mention of the witch in Island. It was written in the old imperial language, so it was difficult to interpret all the meanings, but as you can see in the temple…”
I could see the words she had circled all over her book. Tricia wrote “Chaos” In a note under the circle.
“The disappearance of the goddess is obviously that chaos. It must have something to do with Knoia.”
Tricia had already heard of the name Knoia from me. And Tricia’s words made my assumptions even more certain.
‘Then, the 6 temples in the basement of the Pantheon…’
The core of the final main quest for a while. I thought about the 6 temples of the Pantheon.
The Pantheon is located in Theria, once called the Holy City. So, it was not surprising that there were 6 temples under the Pantheon that enshrined 6 gods under Jedin.
‘But those 6 shrines, far from sacred… They were bleak and ominous.’
The underground of the 6 temples that have been mixed up like a labyrinth, the deeper you go down. The ominous fog, similar to the magic spirit, grew thicker, and numerous illusions appeared.
‘There’s definitely something deep inside that shouldn’t be revealed.’
The final main quest directly induces you to find out about the secrets of the 6 temples.
Before I left the Pantheon, about something in its depths. I had to find out.
‘I think I know to some extent what the secret is.’
In the meantime, through the main quest of Pantheon and the trial of the 6 temples, what I have obtained is Jedin’s holy sword, Siertia.
The reason I had that holy sword was obviously to fight against Duke Pedro and Knoia after him.
But I was intuition through my body. My half-human, half-demonic body. If this is the only fate I can stand against Knoia.
In order to oppose Knoia, the power of Jedin, a human god, is not enough. Even the power of Unir, the god of the demons, was needed at the same time.
Because only, in this land, I am the only person who can receive the blessings of those two gods at the same time.
If so, my mother’s wisdom, the truth of the six temples that my destiny points to, there is only one secret.
‘There must be clues about the missing Yunir.’
And that Unir’s disappearance would eventually be related to Knoia. I was sure
I talked to Tricia a bit more about the idea. As if their conversation seemed serious, Eirin and Cecilia left the table, leaving Minchoti alone.
After all my story Tricia agreed with me.
“And if the Pantheon Academy was built on the basis of the 6 temples. Only students who have received the blessings of the Six Gods are qualified to enter the depths.”
I nodded. My future wives. To be precise, the girls I called the heroines before I found my memories.
During the remainder of the first semester, I will be with the heroines representing each sect. I had to find out the truth about the Pantheon.

—————–
‘And that third sub-quest too.’
The quest after finding out the truth is marked with a question mark. And considering the trials he’s been through so far, it’s definitely not going to be easy to clear that quest.
Also, even if the system guides you as a quest, you are not in the game right now, but in reality. I was determined.
‘If it’s a quest that I have to do with my wives. I will never let anyone get hurt.’
That’s how I ended up thinking. Between the two of them, who had been talking about heavy things for a long time, it was only then that they had some composure.
After taking a sip of grassy tea, Tricia took advantage of the leisure time and jokingly threw her words at me.
“I, Julian-sama. Will you take care of our sisters?”
At those words, she almost spewed out the tea. Although I work with Tricia in such a natural cooperative relationship.
Come to think of it, I accidentally mixed Tricia and her body. And Tricia was Cecilia’s older sister.
Even in the Demon Kingdom, I had stolen all the virginity of the demon king sisters with very noble bloodlines.
“Well, that’s what I think it should be…”
“The customs of humans and demons are quite different, but rather, the demons are a culture that values chastity more. Just in case you don’t know.”
Tricia, who said that, smiled mischievously. She couldn’t tell if she was joking or being serious.
“Oh, and I heard it while exchanging contact with Remiella in Teneb. I heard you proposed to Remiella too?”
“Puff. What are you talking about…”
I almost spit out the mincho tea I was drinking.
Remiella is the High Knight of the Royal Knights who faithfully guarded the Demon Kingdom since my father. She was also a friend of Tricia’s.
“In the High Elf custom, gifting an accessory to a member of the opposite sex is tantamount to a marriage proposal. I heard that she gave Her Highness Her Majesty’s rosary to her…”
“It was just that I entrusted Rosario to Remiela for a while to let me know the safety of my body. So I got it back like this.”
I lifted her mother’s rosary from her neck and showed it to Tricia. She grinned.
“Of course I know that. So I told the truth and Remiela was really disappointed. Perhaps, she must have had Julian-sama in mind too.”
“You are good at jokes. I have no intention of messing with the Royal Knight who is loyal to the Demon King.”
“Oh, are my sisters okay then?”
I was speechless at those words. Apparently, Tricia was her older sister, so there were times when she was strangely weak towards her.
“Hmm. Am I not that much of a playboy? No need to worry. After all, I was going to take your sisters to Essenmund as soon as the first semester of the Pantheon was over.”
At those words, I could see Cecilia’s ears prick up in the distance. Tricia’s face widened at those words.
“Cecile must be very happy.”
“Tricia, do you think you’re happy too?”
“Ugh. Wouldn’t the devil need a faithful cardinal? There must be at least one priest dedicated to Yulian-sama.”
“I hate cardinals.”
That’s how I shared some more silly jokes with Tricia.
But even Tricia pretends to be a joke on her part, seeing as she subconsciously pricks up her ears. Saddam shared with me seemed to be subtly pleasant.
Tricia is also a very beautiful high elf. Although she and she, like her older sister, she has a cool and easygoing side. She already knew that in fact she was quite obedient in bed.
That strange difference, in an instant, felt strange.
‘Including her real sisters in the harem. Hmmm. Is this an act that is too unethical? No. It might be surprisingly good.’
I enjoyed the interlude for a while. However, even that brief moment is short-lived. My head was full of thoughts for the final main quest.
After a while, I left the atelier. The next destination is Loia Hall, where training is scheduled. As the wagon headed there, he thought about what to do next.
The last remaining quest is a quest that not only me but also my heroines who represent the religious order must do together.
And as a cadet of the Pantheon. Both the heroines and I were facing the final schedule of the first semester.
‘There are still final exams left.’
Now, even that job as a cadet felt very far away. I couldn’t avoid that final exam either.
A cadet representing the 6th Order. And in the trial of the 6 temples, the cadet representing the battle order was me, not Lucia.
As if to emphasize that fact again. The system’s notification window popped up.
—————–
[Part of the details of the sub quest have been unlocked.]
* Subquest 3 「Memories of the 6 Shrines」

Checked the pre-conditions for the newly opened sub-quest.
‘It’s the end of the final exam.’
Through the final exam, he had to maintain his qualifications as a representative cadet of the 6th class. I turned off the notification window and entered the parade ground of Loia Hall.
The cadets of the combat order that had already gathered. Their gazes were all at me.
Immediately after the start of the first semester of the second year. It was a completely different look from the time he was looking at me. I said to the cadets.
