The first thing Ronald has to do is determine where he is.

In their previous records in the library, they had gathered a great deal of information about the Holy Capital, including a map of the city.

"Flying to the air for reconnaissance may attract the attention of the [Nine Rings Secret Society], so it is safer to move on the ground first."

Whether in air or ground reconnaissance, there is almost no difference in efficiency.

Ronald then activated the [Astrolabe] spell to collect the surrounding terrain elements, and at the same time walked towards the most eye-catching buildings nearby.

- It was an exaggerated fountain statue.

Ronald followed the path to his target, found a chair and sat down in the square where the fountain statue was located, closed his eyes, and carefully processed the map information fed back by the spell.

Successfully entered the Holy Capital, but was unexpectedly separated from his companions.

This should have been a rather troublesome situation.

But feeling the message transmitted by the spell, the corners of Ronald's mouth began to rise uncontrollably:

"Saion lost his horse, and he was not blessed!"

"Something went wrong with this ritual and sent me to St. Alan's Cathedral?"

The Holy Capital was once the center of ecclesiastical power.

At the same time, it is also a huge city, even compared to the current capital of [Grad].

It's just that it's different from the large cities that are common in modern civilization.

In addition to many of the proper urban divisions and functional buildings, nearly one-third of the land in the interior of the Holy City is fully dedicated to ecclesiastical activities, and megachurches abound.

Ronald is located in a district called Radiant District.

It is also home to the Cathedral of St. Alan.

- This is undoubtedly a sign-up.

Ronald even kind of wanted to laugh out loud.

When searching for information on the second floor of the library, considering the events that had happened in the Holy Capital, Ronald specially investigated all the important news that might affect the situation.

Among them are the central cathedral, which is the core of the daily administration of the central cathedral, such as the pope and priests; There is also the reception of the unexpectedly born belief in God, and the subsequent placement of the other party's Crummington Cathedral.

The situation of St. Alan's Cathedral, where Ronald is located, is completely different from the above two.

It is a place where knowledge and power come together, and the priests of the Church who are responsible for the study of theological knowledge and the power of magic are strongholds.

Undoubtedly, it is the forefront of the whole world in the study of spells!

And after believing in God has abandoned the church and left this world.

The clergy, who were responsible for the study of taboos and put them into action, were also born here.

What is the most important taboo study in the Holy Capital?

- Artificial Godhead!

In other words, Ronald is likely to be extremely close to the artificial godhead.

This bizarre encounter is like throwing people into a labyrinth to find the treasure in the center. As a result, after the treasure hunter landed, he was stunned to find that the location where he appeared was not the entrance to the maze, but was thrown directly in front of the treasure.

No enemies have been dealt with yet, and the goal of this trip seems to be close at hand.

It's a pie-in-the-sky thing!

"There was a problem with the ceremony, but it helped me so much?"

After sorting out the map information, Ronald was in a great mood.

He repeatedly admonished himself to calm down and be able to recognize the location at a glance, which was also a full credit for the previous intelligence work.

Then, he got up neatly from his square chair and walked with a clear purpose towards the broad avenue opposite the fountain.

– This is exactly the way to St. Alan's Cathedral.

Walking on the way to the cathedral, Ronald did not forget the strange scene he faced. As he hurried, he also used his magical perception to investigate the area around the street.

These actions have not paid off.

Ronald observes people carefully where they perceive them, and even actively intervenes physically—but streets are streets, and nothing changes; Even if Ronald drew his weapon and left a mark in the city, nothing else would happen except the mark from the blade.

Even he was a little bolder, directly overlapping with the perceived person.

The result is the same as before.

A quiet city is like a pool of stagnant water!

"Able to sense the presence of a person, but unable to observe or make contact with an entity."

"It seems that it is not just a matter of the record. After the Holy Capital was sealed, something happened to this hellish place......"

How strong was the former Holy Capital?

Just looking at the concealment of this [Song in the Forest] and the strength of the [Seven Strings Seal], you can also get a glimpse of the strength of the church in that era. So even if it was sealed in decline, Ronald felt that it was very likely that it was some kind of reaction of the people in the city after being sealed.

But beyond that, Ronald has another guess in mind.

——[Nine Rings Secret Meeting]

The [Nine Rings Secret Society] casters who entered here a few days in advance were all powerful beings who held the original scriptures.

In case the source of the vision is those guys......

Thinking of this, Ronald was naturally a little more vigilant.

However, until he arrived in front of St. Alan's Cathedral, the speculative crisis or battle had not yet occurred.

He was like a lone wanderer in an empty city, surrounded by nothing but loneliness and cold air.

"...... Basilica of Saint-Alan"

Coming to the front of the cathedral, Ronald pronounced the name of the building in front of him.

This St. Ellen Cathedral, both in terms of floor area and building volume, is completely worthy of the 'big' word in its name!

Just facing the façade of the church facing Ronald, the main body of the church is more than 100 meters wide.

Then turn your attention to the data collected by the Star Map.

You will find that the space occupied at the back of the cathedral is several times grander than what Ronald saw in front of his eyes!

Compare the churches seen outside the Song Forest......

To put it bluntly, the difference between the buildings that once looked magnificent can even fit into the churches in front of them is as striking as "Frige's Travels".

Not to mention the St. Iran Cathedral itself, there are countless buildings, sculptures and other things to set off, both in terms of volume and beauty, which is unimaginable in today's society.

“……”

"Without the help of spells, this thing would have taken hundreds, even thousands of years, to build."

I was impressed by the grandeur of the building in front of me.

Ronald also stepped forward, ready to search for clues to the artificial godhead.

But just as he walked to the main entrance, and was ready to step forward.

The gate of the magnificent building in front of him closed automatically, blocking Ronald from the outside.

"Oh?"

Ronald raised an eyebrow and immediately stretched out his hands forward, ready to open the main entrance of the church with his own strong strength.

But the moment his hands touched the main entrance.

Crackle –

A flash of lightning flickered his hands away.

At the same time, a majestic voice sounded in Ronald's head:

"Outsiders, don't enter!"
