Ascendance of a Bookworm

Next to what everyone was looking for in the workshop, I encouraged them to make amulets. Amulets for civilians cannot be used without materials in a library workshop. Considering the amount to be handed out to the families in Lower Town and the Gutenbergs, we'll need quite a lot. If you give it to me when I'm calling for the guild chief, the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce, and the Plantain Chamber of Commerce, you can't just leave the guild chief out of your crew.

"I made extra amulets, and that's it"

Thus, after rarely encouraging the creation of amulets for civilians over reading, he brought into the temple what was necessary for the ritual. Tomorrow we will regain protection.

"Dear Rosemayne, I have retrieved after graduation, so I will go to training without attending tomorrow's ritual"

"I would like to work in the castle because I have re-acquired it, too"

Nodding at the words of Leonore and Rezelator, I look back on Eudit.

"What do you do with Eudit?

"I don't think I have enough prayers, so I'll see you this time. You can go to training, or if you prefer to have an escort knight, you can head to the temple."

"There are plenty of escort knights, so head to training. … you must also speak to Otilier and Brunhilde"

Although he flew the Ordnants to the two of us, Otilier hasn't had any particular prayers so far, and Brunhilde seems to be very busy interacting with Grechelle and arranging education for sidekicks. Brunhilde will re-rite after his graduation, so this time it meant matchmaking.

"But Gretia, who gave me her name, is compulsory, so be sure to come to the temple."

"Yes, sir."

Although it is presumed that Rhoderich obtained all the attributes because of the dedication of his name, no certainty has yet been obtained. This time, after the adult group, we are going to ask the prestigious group to re-acquire the protection.

... could your mother come too?

If the mother can come to the temple, if she changes the Lord who gives her name, she can find out if there is a difference in the protection she gets. Muriella will have many rituals, but I'd like to find out if I can. When I asked my mother about her plans at Ordonanz, she replied, "I'll be on my way in the afternoon."

"Let me get you a new treat recipe. Because Cornelius graduated, so I can't get new recipes anymore"

For a well-groomed mother, I decided to prepare a recipe for the mousse that was a reward for this year.

The next day, before the three bells rang, we already had all the proximities to perform the ritual. I open the door of the workshop in the temple chief's office and give him the demonic stones he needs to get in and out, so that he can bring out the magic formations and so forth.

"Dear Rosemaine, may I take you to the prayer room?

"Yeah, Fran. Haltmoot has been told to go to the prayer room after giving instructions to the clerk, so take him to the prayer room. We want to do what we can with the House of Lords."

It's not just Fran because of his hard work, but Gil and Fritz are also calling from the workshop to help carry their luggage. Soon the side proximity of Haltmoot joined, and in no time the luggage was taken out.

"Monica, have you been notified of the orphanage?

"Yes, I'm telling you not to go into the chapel today,"

I must keep an eye on those entering and leaving the workshop, so I leave the preparation to Haltmoot and Darmuel. Muriella, Rhoderich and Filine, the civil servants, are the assistants.

When I have all my luggage taken out, I collect the brooch of demonic stone that I was giving to my neighbours, close the door of the workshop and head to the prayer room. In the prayer room, Haltmoot and the others were preparing as they had given instructions earlier.

The altar is decorated with cloth and fruit, and the incense furnace is filled with fire, which you can see is slightly fragrant. A red cloth is laid against the altar, and the painted cloth of the magic formation is spread wide. Unlike the magic formations we saw in the House of Lords, the magic formations were not embroidered, but painted in ink. Ferdinand just didn't seem willing to do the embroidery either.

"In order to see if this magic formation really works at first, or if you can get your protection even if you perform rituals one attribute at a time, you'll be challenged by Angelica at first."

Ink, so some parts of the year may be plundering and disappearing, or something may be installed badly and not activated.

"I will be present at Angelica's ritual because I will try, but after that, one person at a time, please, in order. The ritual of protection in the House of Lords would have gone one by one, wouldn't it? Because it may not be something that greatly maximizes the protection obtained, or it may be to focus on rituals"

Angelica also needs a lookout to see if she's really being chanted, but the others shouldn't have a problem. When I checked the ritual procedure, everyone looked at Angelica worryingly. I really don't have any credibility with Angelica at times like this. I'm worried about him, though he's nodding vigorously, "I'll do my best," with a crisp face.

"After you try Angelica, you will be asked to go to Haltmoot"

"Not me, is it?

Brother Cornelius said strangely. It is natural to use the low-status person to make the trial, but it is normal to do so in the order of identity after making sure that it can be done properly.

"Yeah, because Haltmoot needs to finish the ritual early and get back to the deacon."

Though there are many replacements for Brother Cornelius, the escort knight, there is no substitute for Haltmut, who can be extracted as the chief cleric. Although Wilfried asked me to do the ritual in advance because Haltmoot is looking forward to it, it is really a busy time to prepare for the baptism and prayer ceremony a few days later.

"I see. If you do think about efficiency, Haltmoot seems better ahead. Remember, though, in aristocratic societies disturbing order is reluctant."

He told me that it was okay to change the order while stabbing the nails that only the temple would pass my way.

"I am in the workshop of the temple chief's office after accompanying Angelica's ritual. Do rituals in the order of Haltmut, Cornelius, Mathias, Laurenz, Muriella, Gretia and Darmuel and come and report the results. Muriella will have to go again after your mother is here."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone looks around and nods, and I point to the crate at my feet.

"This crate contains magic restorative medicine. Always remember to fill your magic formations with your own magic."

And leave Angelica and me, and everyone else out of the prayer room once. There will be escort knights watching outside the door. I took the magic restorative from the crate and offered it to Angelica.

"Okay, Angelica. Let's do it. Let's see if we can do rituals by calling the names of certain gods so we can get the protection we want."

"Yes."

Angelica stands at the center of the magic formation with the magic restorative I offered her. Then he knelt down against the altar and began to touch the magic formations and pour out his magic.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

If Angelica slowly speaks the name of the Supreme God and the Great God of the Five Columns so that he cannot go wrong, the mark of fire and wind attributes, Angelica's aptitude, shines, and the less expensive columns of light stand. When you look at the rituals of others in this way, you can well see why all the attributes glow from the beginning and you are said to be out of standard when the column was about twice the height of Angelica. Comparison with others is important.

... When I gained the protection of my family, the pillars of light grew. It seems quite different from the others.

When I thought so, Angelica began to speak the name of her family.

"Steifelise, goddess of disease, Angleaf, god of martial arts. My prayers will follow, and I will not grant you any protection."

... I'm only seriously praying to the pinpoint god!?

You're eager to only want this blessing, when you're done calling the name of just two pillars of God, Angelica just utters the tightening words. Instead of having any reaction whatsoever to the name of his family, the pillars of light on the magic formation suddenly disappeared.

"This is definitely a failure."

"Do we still have to remember the names of all the gods? Too bad."

No matter how many magic formations you fill with magic, you shouldn't seem to break or omit the ritual order on your own. I guess that's why in the third grade of the House of Lords the common challenge is to remember the names of all the gods. Otherwise it must have been so obsolete.

"Let's also try to see if we can perform the ritual by reciting the words of Steinluke"

Life returns to the face of Angelica, who had a face of despair in my words.

"I believe that I, Steinluke, would do it"

"Lord, I'm going out with you because this is an experiment, but it's something I'm supposed to have to do myself"

Angelica takes her recovery pills while Ferdinand's voice Schtinluke scolds her. I wonder if Stynrook is a lot influenced by his original personality that experimentation would make him go out with it.

… let's send the experimental results up properly.

"I'll do it"

Angelica, whose magic power has been restored, turns again to the center of the magic formation. And I started filling up the magic formations just like I did earlier.

"I am the one who created and paid the world and prayed and thanked the gods."

The name of the Supreme God and the Great God of the Five Pillars can be said in Angelica without any problems. The problem is the subsequent kinship god.

"Karos Freee, the god of the Dark Families"

"Fairbergen, god of cover-ups"

Angelica recites the voice of Stynrook. It's like the gods Angelica hasn't prayed at all, and she hasn't responded to the magic formation. By the way, I have both my blessings. Why are we being hit by one disaster after another when we have the protection of Caros-Freeer?

"Angleaf, the god of bravery of the family of fire"

That's where I had my first reaction. The blue pillar, the precious color of the God of Fire, stretched out a little. There is also a reaction in the name of Air Vaclaren, the god of guidance, and the blue pillar stretches out a little again. Angelica laughed happily when she saw how it was going. You're motivated, I feel like I've got tension in my voice to recite.

"Goddess Drefangua at Wind Families"

"Steifelise, goddess of disease"

Now the yellow pillar stretched a little. Looks like we got some protection for Steiferises. I thought I would also gain the protection of Old Schnelli, the goddess of flying, but unfortunately I did not.

After that, the last word is spoken without any particular reaction.

"My prayers will follow, and I will not grant you any blessing."

Light rises up from the two blue and yellow columns and pours down on Angelica as a light of blessing as it twirls around. And the magic that was filling the magic formations became a stream of light and passed on the red cloth and went up the altar, sucked into the statue of God.

"It's a success."

Even in retrospect of the ritual of my time, this should have allowed me to gain protection without any problems. However, I do not know whether I have gained the protection of the goddess of wind.

"Has the patronage of Szeeria, the goddess of the wind been granted?

"Got it. When I went to the House of Lords, the yellow pillar disappeared at the end, so I think I'll be fine this time."

... Will the pillars of light disappear when the protection of the Great God has not been obtained? I've never known that before.

Angelica seems to have had a much rarer experience in the House of Lords. It's definitely unusual, although I don't want to go through anything other than having a experience where the columns of light disappear without gaining protection.

"Angelica was able to gain protection thanks to Steinluke, so if you want to give her magic, praise her."

"Yes, and thanks to Lord Rosemayne for giving me Steinluke. I'd like to get to the training ground quickly to see if I could have gotten any stronger. And I want to beat my master once and for all."

Though Angelica is very excited, I don't think the protection of the gods is such that it only makes it easier to consume less magic and become stronger soon.

... or will it be like when you give Angleaf blessings?

I don't think it would be that much of a war boost, as there are no special reports from the knights who gained Angleaf protection. But it seems very significant for Angelica to consume less magic when using Stynrook.

"There are a lot of escort knights in the temple today, so you can head to training. Come and be proud of your uncle for getting protection again. Your uncle might want to come to the temple."

I wish my uncle would come too, so I leave the prayer room. Outside the door, my proximity waited and escorted in turn.

"Angelica has succeeded, so the ritual can be done without problems. Haltmoot, come on in. When you're done, come to the temple chief's office to let us know how it turns out."

"Alright, first"

When Haltmoot tells Brother Cornelius that, he enters the prayer room.

"Let us leave here only Cornelius, who will perform the ritual next. Everyone else does their job. Angelica can go to training."

Tell Roderich, Philine, Muriella, and Darmuel to do their errands in the clergy's office, and Matthias and Laurenz will ask for my escort. Greater Tier is waiting in the temple chief's office. Angelica jumped out in a windy momentum.

Returning to the temple chief's office, I quickly head to the workshop. Give Greater Tier a brooch of demonic stones to enter and leave the workshop and tell him to guide those who return after the ritual to the workshop. We have to get Greater to avoid a situation where men and women are alone in the workshop.

"You'll also prepare an anti-bugging magic tool to keep Greater from hearing what other people have gained. Oh, and then Fran should get back to normal business. I'll leave it to Greater Tier to guide you to the workshop."

Fran was waiting in the temple chief's office to welcome me back from the ritual, but usually he should be in the clergy's office. But "you can't just put yourself in a state where there's not a single temple's side service in the temple chief's office," Fran smiled and dismissed.

I give Gretia the magic stone to enter and leave the workshop.

"What does Master Rosemaine make in the workshop?

It's an amulet.

"... even though yesterday it seemed like they were building it in a library workshop?

Greater said that strangely. I did make a lot of them yesterday, but that's not all I can do.

"What I made yesterday is for handing out to the Gutenbergs. It's not just for civilians, it's for nobility."

In fact, Ferdinand got some of the material when he cleaned up the temple's workshop, but he put quality objects in the temple chief's office's workshop as a priority. For this reason, amulets for nobles can be made of better quality in the temple workshop.

"Well, when Haltmoot comes back, bring him in,"

"Yes, sir."

When I entered the workshop, I started making the same amulet by choosing an amulet that consumed less magic among the amulets I was wearing. There are two kinds of things that bounce off a magic attack and a physical attack.

... you think the escort knight can handle it later if he even prevents accidental attacks.

The guard knights attached to the Lords' clan are trained by their uncles. If the amulet reacts accidentally, I think he'll do something about it later.

I created an amulet to give to Wilfried and Charlotte, and exhaled, Phew. Although the two have a lot of magic because they also do magic compression, Merhior still doesn't even remember how to handle magic, so more magic consumption has to be a modest amulet. "Don't take me for a standard," Ferdinand said so much that his mouth was sour.

... Remember me properly, I'm not perfect?

"Dear Rosemayne, is this amulet for what you said you would give to Master Wilfried and Charlotte who will go around the prayer ceremony?

"Oh, Haltmoot. It's over, isn't it?

Seeing Gretia and Haltmut enter the workshop, I stopped my hand, which had chosen the material to make the amulet of Melchior. Then get off the stepping stone and head to your desk. Haltmut laughed nicely after seeing the amulet he had made for the two of them.

"Dear Rosemaine, I'm heading to the prayer ceremony too..."

Haltmoot smiles and demands an amulet. I don't mind making it for you, but this is my chance to push through my favors. I look up at Haltmoot and laugh nimmari.

"If Haltmoot stops that strange prayer, you can make it for him. It's disrespectful of the gods to teach such prayers to their children."

He scolds me for putting my name firmly in the words of prayer to the gods, but doesn't really hear me say, "It's important to teach the children of the old Veronicans who they have to thank".

Let Haltmoot say that even if he doesn't understand that he was saved his life in the midst of being complained about by the aristocratic society and stays poorly in a bad mood, he will be picked a bud to become aristocratic no matter how much effort he makes. They say it's kind of you to teach it.

"Still, there will be a way to teach"

It's not like putting it in your prayers. In my words Hultmoot leaned down to think of just a little something, looked up and said, "I did. As Lady Rosemaine said," she gave a frigid and refreshing grin.

"I don't know what attitude the nobles will take towards the Lords clan, the enemies of their parents and brothers, who didn't understand the object to be thanked for. But compared to my amulet from Master Rosemaine, it's a trivial thing, such as the children's future. Let's stop completely."

... Oh, that? Is it so bad to stop that prayer? Will the kids be in trouble in the future?

Haltmoot's words caught on my chest, and I kind of got my head around it. "Should I continue if it's for the kids? I just thought," Greater slapped me on the shoulder lightly.

"Dear Rosemaine, please hold on. It wouldn't be better for the kids' future to remember their altered prayers. Except to teach thanks to the Lords' clan and to alter your prayer words."

"Oh, right? Thank you, Greater. I woke up. Haltmoot is like stopping. Nice."

When I commanded him, Hartmoot praised his shoulder with a slightly unfortunate face.

"So, were you able to protect your family?

I draw the paper that was ready for my desk, I give Haltmoot an anti-bugging magic tool, and I take the pen.

"Yes, from my aptitude I obtained the patronage of the goddess of order, Gebortonoun, a family of light, Arnvax, a family of fire, and Old Schnelli, a family of wind, a goddess of flying letters"

"From aptitude, you got protection from family members other than aptitude, didn't you?

I ask as I make notes. Haltmoot grinned and nodded happily.

"With the patronage of the longevity god Daoaleiben and the dream god Schlertraum, I gained the attribute of life"

"It's unusual because few of you seem to have attributes of life"

Haltmut, who had participated in harvest festivals and service ceremonies, had gained protection from unexpected family members.

"After less than a year, I received protection from all my family members. Active participation in divinity is necessary. … If you pray in the temple for the next few years, you may outrun Lord Wilfried."

There are not so many temple deities that serve magic. The result was that Vilfleet, who has supplied the underlying magic for years, received more protection. That sounds a little regrettable.

"Though I don't think it's that easy to outrun Brother Wilfried, as he's instilling his magic everyday."

I'm looking forward to seeing how much protection Charlotte gets.

I finish listening to Haltmoot's results and tell him to get out of the workshop. Brother Cornelius and Greater came in before he started making Merhior amulets. Ask him what kind of protection he obtained in the same way using his anti-bugging magic equipment.

"Just like Leonore, I got the blessing of Angleaf, the god of martial arts, and Steifelise, the goddess of disease. I was relieved to see Rosemaine as an escort knight."

He was just a little rushed that his fiancée, Leonore, got Angleaf protection first. It would be a guy's pride.

... You want to be cool with Leonore, Brother Cornelius.

When I look up at Brother Cornelius with a smile on my face, Brother Cornelius turns away a little.

"Then I gained protection from Fairdray Male, a member of the Dark Family"

"So you've got more dark attributes. Congratulations."

Fairdray Male is the exorcist god. Precisely a god who drives away the goddess of chaos. Speaking of knights, they're knights.

"I'm glad you didn't expect more attributes."

"We have a mother at lunch, so why don't we be reported? Or do you want to fly Ordnants to Leonore?

Ugh, laughing and looking up at Brother Cornelius, he said, "You don't have to worry about all the extras," and Brother Cornelius followed my cheek once and left the workshop.

"Why do you all wear my cheeks?

I stroke my slightly tingling cheeks and get to the formulation of the amulet of Merhior.

… is the name dedicator next? I wonder what happens?
