Chapter 210: Treasure
A lodging house has been set up under Levios Castle. It is a kind of guest house for independent nobles who visit the royal city.
Since some visitors come to negotiate the accession to the kingdom, the interior and exterior of this pavilion are both very elaborate and luxurious. It would be able to receive any kind of nobleman, even if he came to visit.
A carriage led by a Levios knight and his men arrived at the guest house.
While the guards who were accompanying them on foot were getting into formation, the leader of the guards received a message from the Levios knight.
“This is …… And above. Is there anything from Lord Ghissian?”
The woman called Ghisian answers quietly in a low voice.
No, nothing in particular. Thank you for your hospitality.
Ghisian is an honest man of duty, a loyal warrior to his Lord.
That was the evaluation of Ghisian within the Levios family.If she were a knight in the service of a noble family, that would be the highest evaluation of her.
My Lord is very grateful for the great consideration you have shown today, Lord Lorna.
Ha!”
In contrast to the words of the squire who serves the nobility, the squire who serves the priests shows no dissatisfaction at all.
Considering his status as the head of the Holy Priest's guard, it is no wonder that he has a scowl or two on his face.Nevertheless, Ghislain's behavior shows no sign of wavering.
The knight Levios felt as if he were being confronted with the fact that he would never put his master in danger because of his own feelings.
I heard that until recently you belonged to the army of the Holy City. I also heard that he held a high position there. Are all the warriors in the Holy City as loyal as Lord Ghisian?”
Knight Levios asked the question while waiting for Lorna to get down from the carriage. I had been willing to be silent, but it was more like words leaking out of curiosity.
'I am in awe of you, sir, but I have the honor of being a holy knight.
The Levios family had already investigated that level of information, and of course he knew it.
But Ghysian, whether he knew it or not, kept it short.
I am a follower of the Lord, and the Lord is the only one who can judge me.
That was all she could say.
Only the master evaluates loyalty. Therefore, I cannot evaluate the loyalty of others,…… Knight Levios interpreted.
I see.”
He is greatly pleased with the expression on his face, which shows no signs of hesitation whatsoever.And he concluded that the high evaluation within the Levios family was also justified.
Knight Levios looks at her again.
She is so tall that no ordinary man could stand alongside her, and her well-trained musclesHer hold her up without even a twitch.Her well-used and well-maintained armorHer showed the distinctive color of a warrior.
Both spirit and body her prove her to be a “Knight.
…… Strong. Some merchant had commented that the warriors of the Holy Army were soft, but you would do well not to believe him. No, I wonder if they put a specially talented person on her because she is the head of the Holy Shaman's guard.
The Levios knight decided to consider the holy knight Ghysian, who was here now rather than an uncertain rumor, as a standard military man of the Holy Army.
He concludes that the quality of the Holy City's human resources should be investigated in detail in the future.
The Holy Maiden has entered the mansion.
I understand.
When Ghislain receives reports from his subordinates, he gives them new instructions accordingly. It seems that the task of returning home from the royal castle to the guest house is finally complete.
She showed her farewell bow to the Levios knight.
Leaving the rest of the correspondence to his subordinates, Ghisian follows his master into the guest house.
In the hall he usually uses, the ladies-in-waiting were busily moving about.
The ladies were busy in the hall, which is usually used by the guests.
Lorna, the master of Gythian, stood with her hands outstretched to her sides, surrounded by several maidservants.
The formal ceremonial dress of a holy priestess is very much a dressing gown. It is a matter of course, but the more clothes one wears, the more one has to take off, and the more time and effort it takes to take off the clothes Because of the preciousness of these ceremonial garments, they could not be pulled off by force.
However, for Lorna, this was part of her daily routine, so she accepted the work without seeming particularly bothered by it.
While she was quickly undressing, a maid of honor spoke to Lorna.
She was not particularly concerned about it, as it was part of her daily routine her.Are you tired?
The girl smiles at the maid of honor and replies in a gentle voice, “I'm fine.
I'm fine.
But weren't you surrounded by hundreds of nobles? If you have any problems, please contact us at …….
I have nothing to worry about.I'm used to being in the company of the masters.I'm sure you've all forgotten.I'm a priestess in the service of the Holy Spirit.
Lorna smiled mischievously.
For Lorna, this is a time of peace and quiet, a time when she does n't need to be nervous.She is full of innocence, as she benefits her age.
The maidens here are from the Holy City of Maguaussee and were chosen from the Katreaak family. Some of them have been involved in dressing Lorna behind the scenes at grand ceremonies. They were well aware that Lorna was not bluffing when she said she was accustomed to being on stage at the gatherings of the main ancestors.
Lorna was one of those rare people who knew her role and could perform it without hesitation. The innocence appropriate for her age that she usually shows to those she trusts may be a reflection of that.
However, this incident was no ordinary one for the maidens.
'But……
I'm sure you'll find that the Holy Miko-sama is troubled as well. The most important thing to remember is that the best way to get the most out of your money is to be careful what you spend. King Levios has taken care of you.
The elderly woman who served as the head of the chambermaidens gave them a warning.
However, the maidens were clearly angry.
Is that a consideration?
The first thing that comes to mind is that the “Holy priestess” Is a very good person. However, since he didn't approve of such humiliation, he gave it the least consideration.
But that is really the least consideration, the lowest consideration. The head chamberlain thinks so, and the maidens can feel it. However, the strength of the girls' indication could be seen in the fact that they still opened their mouths.
The women's maidens were right. …… But that is respect for the Lord's ancestors, not respect for the Holy Maiden.
The maidens were right.
The king Levios did not want to expose Lorna in her demon-sealed state to the public.It was an act that could be perceived as too much disrespect to one of his ancestors her.
Although modern nobles no longer recognize the authority of priests, they still pay due respect to the lineage of power that is the ancestor of the Lord. If it is handled incorrectly, it would make King Levios seem rather small.
Besides, in some of our talks, even that minimal consideration was not given.”
Lorna smiles bitterly at the maid of honor, who continues to grumble and complain in a low voice.
She was referring to the secret meetings with Aterahan, Millendorva, and Kuordentse. Lorna attends those meetings under a magical seal.
After finishing checking the formation of the escort deployed in the room, Ghislain snapped at the maid of honor, “You are not going to keep talking nonsense.
How long are you going to stand there talking nonsense?
At these words, all the maidens turned pale.
The escort personnel generally do their duties in silence and do not get involved with the maidservants, except for Ghisian, who is the head of the escort team. She spends most of her time near Lorna and sometimes reprimands the maidens.
Ghisian, from a distinguished family, honored as a holy knight, trusted by the House of Cattleyaque, very tall, and with a military temperament with few smiles, was a more formidable opponent for the maids of honor than the head chambermaid.
This is King's Landing.
I am sorry.”
The dismayed chief chamberlain bows to Ghisian and instructs the maidservants to continue their work.
The Levios family is keeping an eye on Lorna and her family albeit in a less obvious way.Ghissian was always on the lookout for any kind of eavesdropping.
She has determined that as long as she has probed them with magic as soon as they entered the building, there is currently no danger of them hearing anything more than conversation, but she needs to be careful. Scenes comment would suddenly make things worse, but if it piled up, the Levios family would be disgusted.
Lorna, who had been watching the exchange between her subordinates, turned her smiling face toward the holy knight.
'Githian is really bothering you with your work, isn't he?
'Holy miko-sama, play along……
But it's true, isn't it?”
Ghysian smiled only in his heart her when he saw Lorna's innocent delight her at the bite her.
Ghissians were often misunderstood.
Specifically, she is mistaken for an honest and loyal person.This is not her nature.
She had the mindset of a “Layman who does not want to be a manager,” As we would say in modern Japan.It is fine to be a team leader, but she does not want to be a person who has subordinates.
However, she was, contrary to her attitude, a person who could do her job well. And her family is one of the most prominent families in the Holy City, even though she is a cousin.
As a result, she quickly rose to prominence in the Holy Army, and before she knew it, she was even appointed as a holy knight.
This was nothing but misfortune for her.
In her opinion, she honestly wished she had been promoted to the position of deputy commander of a unit.The mere thought of a general leading several hundred men was enough to make her sigh.
It was at such a time that the Katleakis family approached me with an offer.
I would like you to serve as the head escort for a holy priest visiting the Kingdom of Levios. I'm sorry to say that Ghisian is on a brilliant path as a holy knight in the Holy Army, but for the sake of the family, I ask you to resign from your current position……. To his own brother who told him so, Ghisian agreed inwardly with great joy, while keeping his expression serious.
The team of guards would only have a few dozen or so people at most.
However, the people around her did not see it the same way.
From the outside, she was an unlucky holy knight who had to give up an elite career for the sake of her family. Lucky to be able to fully utilize the backing of the Cattleyaak family in her resignation.
As a result, only Ghisian's reputation her as a loyal person spread.But she didn't think anything of it.She was always misunderstood.
She had heard from her brother that the head of the Cattleyaak family was looking for a man who would put loyalty before faith.In addition, her brother is well aware of Ghisian's temperament.She is not loyal, but is easily mistaken for being loyal, and she is a sister who does her job well.
Despite the various factors, the head of the Cattleyaak family took a liking to Ghisian and hired him directly as Lorna's head escort.
After a while, Ghisian was told by Lorna, “I don't like managing people. I see that you don't like the job of managing people.
Apart from his brother, his family, friends, colleagues and superiors in the Holy Army, the high priests who prepared the honor of the Holy Knights, the head of the House of Cattleyaque, and the knights of the Kingdom of Levioth …… All misunderstood Ghisian and saw him as a loyal man. But only Lorna saw her for what she really was.
If I had been a man of faith, I might have been fascinated by the Holy Priestess,…… Ghisian chided himself.
Oh dear. The Holy Miko, the holy knight is in trouble.
The one who appeared with a glamorous tone in her voice she was a woman dressed in monastic clothes.
She sat down on a nearby chair and straightened her posture.Although the garments are difficult to see the shape of her body, when she sits like this, the shape of her plump legs and buttocks are revealed in sensational curves.
However, no one of the opposite sex entered this room, as the priestess was changing.
Father Faith, I'm in the middle of changing my clothes.
'That's fine. Let's have priest Faith listen to what I have to tell you today.
Ghysian had first met Faith when he was served as Lorna's bodyguard.
She is a low-ranking priestess whom Lorna personally employs. She is a talented woman who majored in magic and received excellent grades at an academic institution in the Holy City, but Ghisian recognizes that she is essentially a follower of Lorna, the holy priestess.
When Lorna happily told stories about her time at the royal castle with a gentle smile, Faith happily chimed in.
When the topic of conversation turned to the events in the Round Table Room, Ghisian also turned his attention to her.
Ghisian did not answer, but said, “By the way, how did the holy knight see the heir of the Quardenze family?”
Ghysian did not answer, but looked at Lorna.
Githian looked at Lorna without answering her question.
If it is the Lord's will, it is only logical to obey.She answered, looking at her master with a serious face, but with an inwardly troublesome look on her face.
'I can only give you a brief impression. I didn't have much time to talk with the priestess. Besides, I could not use detection at that place. Therefore, I cannot talk about magic power.
It's all right.
Then, in my opinion, I have the impression that his character is not distorted.In fact, I felt that he was rather friendly toward priests.
Note that Wilk himself felt a little guilty about his salty attitude toward Lorna, but from Ghysian's point of view, it was seen as a kind response. She knows from previous experience that some nobles who meet with priests express blatant dislike. Considering this, Wilk's response was one of the sweetest.
Lorna agreed with that answer with a twinkle in her eye.
I agree. I, too, felt that Lord Wilke was friendly toward the priest.
She made a triangle with the fingers of both hands and placed it on the top of his head.
The maidens were smitten by this cute gesture.
There was a suggestion that the red crown was in short supply. I was very happy to see that the Quardenzes were passing on the correct knowledge. The teacher was troubled, but I still think that we can get along well with the Quardenzes. Sure that they will understand if we talk to them.
Ghislain sensed that Lorna's voice was getting louder, and he warned her, “I am sure that the Holy Priestess has a good heart.
I am sure that you will understand, Seisho-sama,” Gillian warned. But please do not forget the responsibility entrusted to you by your master.
Then, Faith said in dismay.
The Holy Knight is all about formalities,…… Serving the voice of the Holy Miko-sama is the most important thing for a believer, isn't it?
Ghissian's official master is not the priestess, but the head of the Cattleyaq family.
Ghisian did not reply to Faith. It was too much trouble. However, the lady attendant who saw his tightened expression had the impression that he was a fine holy knight who admonished his lord out of loyalty.
Ghisian could understand what Faith was saying. However, there was a part of Ghisian himself that was not good at Lorna.
His sincere attitude toward the scriptures was worthy of being called a holy priestess. But there was something unfathomable in his faith. He was drawn to Lorna's innocent black eyes, and felt something akin to fear that if he approached her carelessly, he might slip and fall into an abyss.
She could not be that absorbed in her faith her.She trusted her own reason her more than that of the holy priest.
She chuckled to herself that this kind of personality was probably what her own brother expected of her She has no loyalty, but at least she is not a person who is devoted to Lorna.
As a believer, she would have to obey Lorna's voice, and that would be the right thing to do as a believer.And Ghissian understands that this is the right thing to do as a believer.
However, for Ghissian, an easy work environment was more important than justice. In that case, the priority should be the head of the Cattleyaak family.
Lorna and Faith's conversation had somehow shifted to the treasured gem in Wilke's possession.
What would Githian make of that jewel?”
Rona had studied the topic before the conversation with Wilk, but she was not that familiar with the magical beast-related topics.
She had been a member of the Holy Army and was much more knowledgeable about magical beast-related matters than most people.
She said, “Since it is ……, I think it is safe to assume that the treasure is from a mature demonic beast that occurred in the New Nellie Field. I only looked at it lightly, but there was no old light in the shine. It makes sense that it was hunted last year. Just go to ……”
Is it color?”
Yes. The dark black …… Color left by that treasured pearl. The calamity that once appeared in the city of New Nellie, the magical beast Kaliestebe, was also a Kentark class magical beast. That it caused the destruction of the noble family that had previously ruled the main city of New Nellie. Color. Even if it was a demonic beast that specialized in some abilities and lacked combat ability, it should not be so easy to defeat it.
I agree. You can count them with both hands. I am truly amazed.”
Well,” Said Faith, her voice rising.
That is an interesting story. I would love to get to know you, Mr. Wilk. I wonder what kind of magic he used to kill it.
Ghisian looked at Faith with calm eyes as she recrossed her legs in a glamorous move.
Cynthia and Faith. Ghisian had heard about the two priests that Lorna used to have from a man who worked for her only once. According to him, they were carnal priests.
Cynthia, with her huge breasts, and Faith, with her skin-tight legs and buttocks, were used by the soldiers who guarded the priestesses as their favorite cocksuckers. However, Cynthia did not work for Lorna for very long.
Ghisian thought, “Well, with this look, it's no wonder the men are so attracted to her.
I'll miss you if even Priest Faith goes to the Quordenze territory.
Although Lorna has a sad expression on her face, Ghysian does not think that Faith will leave at all.She knows Faith's intense devotion to her to Lorna.It is almost to the point of fanaticism.
Faith is not in the scriptures, but in the Holy Shaman, and Gisian has had this feeling many times before.Githian has the image that if Lorna ordered him to trample on the scriptures, Faith would do it with a smile on her face .
And I can guess the secret of Lord Wilk's magical powerhis.
You must be surprised,” Lorna says, puffing out her chest proudly.
Her formal attire was almost completely removed and a thin layer of cloth accentuated her heaving breasts.
Do you two know about the three evils?”
Lorna's question was answered first by Ghysian and then by Faith.
I have heard about them before. I have heard some people refer to it as the great historical event that shook the Holy City. As I recall, there were the Thunder Fox and the Ransei, and one more at …… Sorry , I've lost track of it.”
I've never heard of the term “Three evils” Before, but from the examples given by the Holy Knight, would they be the Thunder Fox, the Demon King, and the Ransei?
Lorna nodded slowly at their answer.
It is no wonder that priest Faith has never heard of them. The term is only used among the old families.”
Lorna did not mention it, but there is a reason they are called the three evils.
For Lorna, whose parents belonged to the Cattleyaak family, these were the three most abhorrent incidents. At the very least, they are incidents that cannot be discussed loudly in the Holy City.
What on earth does Lorna want to talk about by going out of her way to bring up such a topic? As Ghislain was wondering that, she came to a short conclusion.
I believe that Lord Wilk has the same power as Ausirel.
Ghisian and Faith looked at each other.
Lorna was slightly amused by the sight of their rarely spoken gazes crossing.
Is Ausirel the name of the demon king?”
Gillian guessed that it was related to one of the three evils, since he had mentioned the name Ausirel after the preamble. Ghislain guessed so.
Then, Faith answered his question her.
Ausirelle, the Outer Priestess. Today he is called the Demon King. I think many people in the Holy City, from priests to folklore, have heard of him in fairy tales.
So Faith gave an overview of the story of the Demon King as told in the Holy City.
A blessed child born with great power is picked up by a priest and educated. However, he becomes consumed by the power he possesses and begins to disregard the teachings of the Zeth cult. Eventually, he falls in love with magic, which is forbidden to him, and falls into witchcraft, uttering curses and turning his heart to darkness. In the end, he is excommunicated by the Zeth cult and defeated by the Holy Army.
This is a fable that everyone from St. Navempos has heard at least once.
Ghislain had heard of the story, but the name of the Demon King was new to him.
…… And what in the world is the same as Lord Wilk?”
The first ear is the one that is called the “Devil King,” Because in the story, the Devil King is only called the Devil King.
'Mister Holy Knight, the Demon King is a fairy tale entity, but Ausirel is a real person. Isn't that what the Holy Maiden-sama is talking about?”
Lorna says to Faith, as if impressed.
'You are a very knowledgeable man, priest Faïs. I didn't know he knew the name Ausirel.
I was a student of magicology, you see.
I see. Then, could you tell us more about this Ausirelle?
Faith interpreted this to mean, “Tell Ghisian.
She straightened her back and, with her eyes only on Lorna, began to explain.
'Ausirel is a male child of the Lord's ancestors, born in the year 318 of the Holy Calendar. In fairy tales, he is considered a blessed child, but in reality he is a legitimate son born into a family of high-ranking priests.
Even if it is a fairy tale, it reveals the intention of the Holy High Priesthood to hide the origin of the Demon King.Faith smiled bitterly at this and continued her story of her.
I heard that he possessed powerful magical power from his childhood. Priests.There is also a record of him making a pilgrimage to the Land of Mists almost single-handedly, so there is no doubt about his abilities.He also had an extraordinary talent for magic.In fact, he created a number of new magic methods that had never existed before. It seems that he was highly regarded as a researcher. Ausirel's parents were also well known in the field of magic, so perhaps he was well educated.
While studying at an academic institution in the Holy City, Faith noticed that there was a magic that had been developed by a priest but whose developer was unknown. Had been developed by a priest but whose developer was unknown.
He was not only a man of great power, but he was also a man of great pride,” Said Fyss. Without remorse or excuse, he rebelled against the Holy City with his followers, whom he called his apostles. He was excommunicated by the holy priest of the time and defeated by the Holy Army.
Although Ghislain had been a member of the Holy Army until recently, he had never heard of such a past operation.
He had been a member of the Holy Army until recently, but he had never heard of such past operations.
After the incident, Ausirel was not only excommunicated, but his registration as a priest was retroactively erased and his existence was denied.What little truth remained has been crushed by the fairy tale of the Demon King, which is a fable.
Hearing these words, Ghislain felt deeply displeased.
The fact that he was denied existence back in the past probably means that Ausirel must have been born to a very high ranking family in the Holy City.
I have learned something troublesome. She didn't want to get too involved in the backstage affairs of the Holy City. Head chopped off if you poked your head in without thinking.
Ghysian looked at Lorna, wondering if this was the case.
She shook her head and said, “It's not the Cattleyarks. It's another family of the Holy Family.
Lorna made a small gesture, saying, “Don't tell anyone.
Ghislain almost shuddered at the gesture.It was information he did not want to know.It was a headache for Ghislain to know why this girl was so willing to talk about such a dangerous matter.
Ghislian was surprised to learn that there were unexpected things left behind in the old house.
Ghissian replied vaguely to Lorna's words.
On the other hand, Faith seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
“Treasure……”
Yes.
Lorna confirmed.
As priest Faith said, Ausirel's parents were renowned scholars in the field of magic.In particular, his father was an eminent magical developer…….He had developed a technique for using up the relics.”
Faith was so astonished that she almost collapsed on the spot.
'How awe-inspiring,……!
Yes.The first thing to do is to find a way to get the best out of the situation.He is the rightful heir to the bloodline of Zeth, the founder of the world, and yet he can never be…… Forgiven for such a barbaric act.
As he watched the two of them lamenting, Ghislain thought about the meaning of this.
Using the relics to nurture a master ancestor with powerful magical powers. Man named Ausirel had powerful magical powers.
I believe that Lord Wilk was nine times out of ten the child who used the relic.”
It's sad, Lorna muttered. The conclusion means that the Marquis of Quardenze has used up the treasure.
I finally understand what you mean, Seisho-sama. The Quardenze family is a noble family that originated from Quardenze Priest, a priest of the Holy Order Pluotista family. You mean that they inherited the treasure when they left the Holy City?
I think that rather than inherit it, they took it away in secret.
Ghislain silently agrees with this opinion.
I don't think the Pluotistas would give up their relics.It is more likely that the treasure was secretly taken away by a Quardenze priest who happened to find it at his parents' house.If the treasure was originally hidden and no one knew it existed, it would not be difficult to take it out.
I see, that is certainly a more plausible story. I have never heard of the Holy Family of Pluotista possessing a great inheritance or treasure,…… So it seems likely that it was a hidden existence. The relics now,……?”
The reason is probably because of the battle with the Spiaseik family. It is a good enough reason to use the treasure that has been handed down in secret since the founding of the Quordenze.
Lorna and Faith's faces contorted at these words.
They were astonished and disappointed by the aristocrat's value system, which would destroy a great inheritance for the sake of war.
“If …….. That is the case,…… It is truly a shameful thing to say,…… St. Miko-sama,………… What a …… Mistake …… The aristocrats have made……”
……..This is a great tragedy. If the Pluotistas heard of this, they must be very saddened. It is too painful a loss for all the faithful as well. “
The two of them continued to mourn ah……, But Faith, determined not to give up, squeezed out a few words.
The Quardenze family has a number of treasures. If they still have it, I think we should …… Negotiate with them. Even if we differ with the Levios family, is it not our duty to protect the treasure? Unbearable that our great heritage should be used for such a trivial thing, just to gain an advantage in a war……. If there is a relic,…… Now, all the faithful will be saved. ……Ah, please,…… Holy Miko…….”
This should stop Faith, Gisian decided, and just as he was about to open his mouth, Lorna slowly shook her head.
She said, “We must not …….. Do this. The first thing we must do is to restore the right faith. For that, we have to rely on the Levios family. You understand that , Priest Faith.
“Holy priestess …………”
Ghisian was out of the mosquito net and could think calmly.
The most important thing to remember is that the treasure will not be consumed until at least three or four generations from Wilk's time, right? Besides, it seems that the war with the Spierzeik family is also in favor of the Quardenze family.”
…… “That is certainly true, isn't it, Mr. Holy Knight?”
I'm sure you're right. I'll pray to the Great Spirit of the Sun with you when I'm finished changing my clothes.
The actual “I'm not sure what to do with it. Ghislain felt a headache.
She decided that she needed to be prepared so that the Levios would not find out.
'May I ask you a question, Seisho-sama?
What is it? What is it, Gysian?
How do you intend to explain this matter of Lord Wilk to the Levios?
The reason I was able to talk to Wilk in the round table room was because Lorna made a proposal to the Levios family. I have an idea about the amount of Wilk's magic power, so I would like to have a talk with him.
Note, this proposal was made on Lorna's own initiative without prior consultation with Ghissian. By the time Ghissian found out about it, the discussion had already progressed, and it was too late to do anything about it.
According to Lorna, she had intended to talk about Cynthia during the discussion.Hearing this, Ghysian pouted only in his mind.
If he mentioned Cynthia, the Levios might misunderstand that the Quardenze family was connected to the priesthood, which might lead to Lorna's resentment and the Cattleyerks' suspicion of the Levios family.
Ghissian, who judged that it would be difficult to avoid a discussion, strictly stopped Lorna from discussing Cynthia alone. As a result, the conversation turned out to be empty of substance.
Lorna also understood that Ghisian was a holy knight working under the order of his family.If you give him a clear warning, he will not go against it.
In any case, the conversation, though brief, came to fruition today. Now that they have had the talk, they will probably be asked for their opinion. I wanted to hear in advance how Lorna would respond.
What can be decided in advance should be decided. At least, Lorna is a person who is perfectly capable of doing what she is told. If she did not free herself, she would be safe.
About Wilk-dono? I already told him, didn't I?
Gillian's expression stiffened.
─ Including the story about the treasure?
Yes, of course.
Lorna smiled, “But we are not talking about the Demon King.
It is true that the story is an embarrassment to the priests and therefore should not be told. But the fact that I had told him about the relic, an existence that even the priests of the Holy City knew little about, made Ghislain want to hold his head in his hands.
It's all right,” He said. The Levios family might be interested in the relics, but there is no point. It is sad to say, but we can no longer create exactly the same thing. The legacy of the founder Zes is finite. Even the same founder, Lucia-sama, will never be able to create it. You understand that, don't you, Githian?
That is true, but……
And there are no more treasures left in my family, are there? You can't take what is not there. I think the same is true for the other houses. Since the man-made disaster in Ausirel, there have been many searches for Relics in the Sei Tong family, but nothing has been found.
Faith responds to these words.
It is quite possible, however, that it has not yet been found. Besides, there may be houses where they have secretly found the treasure and are keeping it in secret.
If so, we need to expose them to the light of day.
Ghysian was again suspicious of Lorna's answer for her.
This is it. Lorna's outlandish behavior seems to have some sort of agenda. The reason why she dared to inform the Levios family about the existence of the treasure is to bring the treasure still hidden in the Holy City out into the open. …… I have a feeling that the head of the Katleakis family and Lorna see the future differently. Ghysian is wary.
Besides, if the Levios family gets their hands on the relic, it will mean little. …… No, it is not meaningless, but it is difficult to make 100% use of it. For example, even if I got the relic, there would be little I could do with it, I would not be able to have it 99.9% of the time. Even if you are a high priest, you can't have 99% of it. Without the magical technology developed by Ausirel's father, it would be impossible to raise someone like the Demon King Ausirel or Quordenze Wilk.
I wonder if Lorna has mastered the magic developed by Father Ausirel.
Ghysian broke off his thought when he thought that far …….
The best way to do this is to think about the best measures you can take right now.
She recovered quickly.
Then Ghisian stared at Lorna.He had intended to tell her that he did not want her to do anything more than she already had to do, but it seemed that he did not get the message her.Lorna smiled at him.
It's all right,” She said. The Levios don't hate us as much as they used to. They may just keep their mouths shut, but I think we can build a good relationship.
Good relations with the nobility, Pfaiss said.
'I hope you have a good relationship with the Quardentze family. I am curious to know how Cynthia is doing.
'Yes,' said Fyss. The doctor inquired about the safety of the priestess Cynthia from the Quardenze family, and it seems that she is now in captivity. I hope he hasn't been badly hurt…….”
Faith nodded at Lorna's fading words her.
