Arthur looked at Magellan like a monster.

The Magellan he knew would never make a choice because of "blood", and Magellan has always ignored this thing directly.

"If the Baron wasn't from Esyad, we wouldn't have gone to him at all. ”

It was an undeniable fact, but Arthur always felt that something was wrong.

"The ancient Esyadians regarded bloodshed as an important part of their rituals, and perhaps we will come across a secret treasure trove that can only be opened by Schmidt's blood, and you will find the Baron indispensable. ”

"That sounds normal," Arthur nodded, "and can we hurry up? We actually walked two days on the mountain road from that castle to this castle." ”

"The Holy Loren Empire is perhaps the most backward place in the known world right now, and it will take two days to walk north from this castle before we can get out of the woods, and then we can get into the carriage. ”

"Didn't you go to see the king of the world, and how much trouble it was to ask her for an airship?"

Magellan smiled helplessly: "Francie is preparing for a war, and all civilian airships have been requisitioned. ”

Arthur didn't even have the strength to speak this time.

"But I have good news here. ”

Arthur snorted twice.

"The Baron had to make a detour to this castle, perhaps not just to see his cousin. ”

"What else?"

"Take something from beneath the castle. ”

Arthur regained his strength in an instant, straightened up and looked at Magellan: "You mean, there's a treasure trove under this castle?"

"Why else would there be two castles in this barren mountain forest? Our baron lives like a hunter in the mountains, and this is not a suitable place for pioneering. ”

"Because of this, if you hide the treasure here, you don't have to worry about losing it at all. ”

"Although the baron was unlucky enough to run into a thief. ”

Magellan and Arthur laughed together.

Dinner time soon came, and the baron, who had finally woken up, gulped down at the dinner party, while his cousin was restrained.

The knight, who did not even have a knighthood, was a taciturn middle-aged man, but when he sat with the baron, everyone could tell that the two men were very similar, both in appearance and stubbornness.

"I'm going to see the sea, the place where our ancestors once lived. ”

When the baron felt that his decanting method had worked, the old-fashioned knight began to talk to his cousin.

"I want to see what's in Grandma's story. ”

The baron's cousin gave a look of remembrance, and then he laughed.

"I hate the place in the story, and I hate the sea. ”

The baron burst out laughing, as if it were an ingenious joke.

"Anyway, if you want to go, you will definitely go, so bring the things left by the ancestors, maybe you can really find something related to the ancestors. ”

Arthur covered half of his face with a wooden wine glass and gave Magellan a "you guessed it" look.

"The amulet?"

The baron put down his glass, looked up and struggled to remember something, then nodded: "Okay, I'll take it." ”

So when the three of them left the castle, the baron had a stone amulet engraved with Runiwen on his chest.

......

Notre-Dame.

The countess followed the king of the world down the narrow stone staircase, all the way up.

There is still such a dark and cramped place in this magnificent building, even though Notre-Dame Cathedral is almost the city's landmark.

It is a minaret that originally appeared on the designer's drawings purely as decoration, but now it has a new purpose.

At the top of the tower there is a small circular room with an ancient altar inside.

"What can you feel?"

The countess looked at the altar, which was empty with a modest clay pot and a candle lit.

But she could feel something invisible on the altar.

"Isn't that science?"

"Yes, because this is Notre Dame. ”

The countess already had a guess, but she couldn't believe it.

"Mother of Stonemason Science?"

"Yes, it's a pity that there are only ashes. ”

The king of the world smiled and bowed to the urn, which made the countess feel a lot of emotion.

"There are only a very few people who can understand science, understand faith, but at the same time do not fall into faith in science, you are one of the few people I know, and this altar is the only tool we have now to detect the movement of science. ”

The countess stood in front of the altar and sighed silently.

"Breathtaking. ”

"I'm sorry, but enemy intelligence is too important for war, so I have to. ”

The countess said no more, she bowed her head and began to pray.

Somewhere indescribable, non-existent, the countess saw science.

Science is watching her, too.

The countess was accompanied by four companions, including the Morning Star and the owner of the White Tower of Alpha, and Science smiled kindly at all of them.

When these five people who are not believers look at science, science is looking at them.

The countess sensed something in an instant, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she had not left the place where the pure light enveloped everything.

Then the silver-gray metallic light flashed, and the countess returned to reality.

"It's a trap. ”

"Really?" the King of the World, though surprised, remained calm, "What happened?"

"Science sees through our memories. ”

The King of the World nodded, and the only hint of surprise on his face vanished.

The countess frowned, the feeling of being seen through was disgusting, but she soon realized that it was actually nothing.

"Anyway, we don't have any battle plans so far, it doesn't matter if it's seen by science, the important thing is, do you see what I need?"

The countess took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, and then began to reminisce.

He was still waiting, science believed that all believers would support the Messiah, and that the believers in Francie and Breton just needed time to think clearly about reality. ”

The King of the World nodded: "There is indeed a possibility. ”

"So until now, he has not started preparations for war. ”

"It looks like we've failed. ”

The King of the World sighed and walked towards the staircase.

The countess followed, recalling what had just happened, and thinking that perhaps the king of the world was wrong: "But science has not deceived us. ”

"He really didn't, science just hid something. The King of the World laughed, "Being noble by nature only means stupid, does he think I'm just like him?"
