Chapter 4: Ordinary Adventurers

"Unlike other countries, in the Tin Throne, the supreme Lord of All Things is the World Tree, which shelters the Tin Throne and ensures the life and daily operation here, ordinary people cannot talk to it, only a very few people, and the elves who grow there, can communicate with the World Tree, and I am one of them, but during the daily worship a few months ago, the World Tree suddenly refused to communicate with me, and refused to send down favors no matter what... It was still learned from the guidance of the elves that there were people in the Tin Throne who had repeatedly invaded the territory of the World Tree and disturbed its tranquility. ”

"So you're trying for us to find out the World Tree's invaders?"

"Yes and no. ”

Anlelov shook his head.

"According to the results of my investigation, the approximate scope has been clarified, but it is not yet known what their purpose is, and who is behind them. The Tin Throne still looks like a calm lake, but there is already a raging dark tide below, and even I can't intervene directly. ”

He stood up, picked up two wooden medallions on the table, and handed them to Ifu.

"This is the two religions of the Tin Throne, one called the Twelve Churches, which believe in ten gods, and black magic and white magic. The other is called the Church of the White Nights, and unlike the Twelve Churches, they are simply celestial worshippers, believing in the sun and the moon. ”

Ifu looked at the two medallions, one with twelve different symbols engraved on it, and the other with the sun and moon engraved on it.

"I know that there are gods in Iraverne, and I know that you are also the daughter of the gods, but in the Tin Throne, I know that there are no gods here, and that all the supreme blessings come from the World Tree. ”

In this way, these two religions are indeed the most likely.

A person who believes in the gods, so he is dissatisfied with the supreme belief of the Tin Throne.

One believes in the sun and the moon, believing that without the sun and the moon, there would be no World Tree.

"I see, we're going to start investigating these two organizations, I wonder where we can get in touch with them?" asked Ifu, taking the two medals.

"The Twelve Churches, they often preach in various places, and it is not difficult to find them, and the White Nights Church... They are usually elusive, and I only have one clue for them. ”

He paused, then looked up at the mural at the zenith.

"The land of the sunset. ”

...

Saying goodbye to Arelov, Ifu went to the tearoom where the Wild Roses were and explained the situation of the two organizations.

"Because we are not familiar with this place, we will not act separately for the time being, let's find out the information together first, and by the way, learn about the situation of the Tin Throne. ”

Her ideas were well thought out and somewhat selfish.

"Ifu has a point. Red and Canary were the first to say yes, and the others had no opinion.

"Your Majesty, the monarch has told us in advance that all the members of our Ember will follow your instructions and arrange their actions, and although we cannot walk with you on the surface, we can assist you secretly. Two of my other companions, Ember and Ember, are out on a mission right now, and will be meeting you soon, so if you need to do so in the near future, just call me by name. ”

With that, Ember took out six more woodcarved keys and handed them to them.

"Each city in the Tin Throne has a place called the 'River Pavilion', or a tavern, or a restaurant, but the only thing that remains the same is that one of the main operations of the River Pavilion is the inn, so no matter which city you go to in the Tin Throne, you will have a place to stay, and importantly, it will also provide some convenience in finding out the news. ”

"Thank you very much. ”

With these substantial helps, everyone present felt the sincerity of Anglelov's request for help.

"Then let's go now. ”

The energetic group left the heart of Novotia and headed for the area outside the royal capital, Chatania.

It's the opposite of what you've seen before.

According to the tourist records and maps that I bought at hand, it was a barren desert in the early years, and only later did the city be established.

Everywhere you find the Golden Lion Fountain embedded in the wall, bringing a touch of coolness to the area of yellow sand.

There are not many shops in Shataniya, and most of the merchants set up stalls on the side of the road, or spread blankets and put goods to sell, and it is very lively day and night.

After walking for a while, several people saw a tall building not far away, with a two-person tall golden lion hanging on the door, and many people in different costumes walked in, and there was a sound of silk and bamboo inside, and the mellow aroma of wine that could be smelled outside the door.

The tavern is always the place to listen to information.

The maidens of the Wild Rose smiled at each other and walked into the "Golden Lion Tavern".

As soon as they entered the tavern, a cool breeze rushed in their faces, in addition to the aroma of wine, it was also mixed with the sweet fragrance of fresh melons and fruits.

Because it is now afternoon, there are not as many hearty guests as imagined, and most of them are like them, ordering a glass of sake, accompanied by some melons and fruits, and chatting with friends about the recent situation.

"I heard that your sister signed up for the Chinese dance last week, is that true?"

"Alas... Don't mention it, I don't know where she got her confidence, she went to the Chinese dance party for the first show, and her family couldn't persuade her. ”

"I'm still young, so I naturally dare to fight, like my brother joined the Archer Association despite the opposition of his family when he was young, if it weren't for the favor of the god of forest and hunting, he wouldn't have been able to come back from a previous mission. ”

"It's fine for you to talk about this in front of us, but don't talk to outsiders in Novotia... Religious belief is a sensitive word, and if you say it, you will be looked down upon by those in the city. ”

"Got it... But you don't have to be so nervous, of course I know that the World Tree is our lifeblood, but I don't think it's a bad thing to believe in gods, the people in the city are too rigid, but I can also understand that if I can get rid of the status of a nomad and live in the city, I will also fully support the World Tree, but unfortunately I don't even have this qualification. ”

"It's not good to be a wanderer, although the city is prosperous, but those etiquette rules are unbearable, just like my sister, who blindly wants to squeeze into the city, the whole person guards what etiquette every day, and she is suffocated to death. ”

"Misses, here are the fruits and drinks you ordered. The maid interrupted them, who were listening attentively, put the order on the table, looked at a few people, and then praised with a smile, "The young ladies are really brilliant, are they artists from the city?"

"Nope. Ifu took the crystal fruit and smiled back at the maid.

"We're just passing by resting adventurers. ”
