Ascendance of a Bookworm

"I will hurry back to the temple. Since it is also the request of my adoptive father, I would like the Guilberta Chamber of Commerce to change so that I can have him come to the temple..."

When I returned to my chamber and said so, the reseller showed difficulty.

"If it is possible for Master Rosemayne to return to the castle tomorrow, could you please take your measurements at the castle? Florencia, Charlotte and Elvira are also going to request a costume."

I can't always wear a costume conceded from Brunhilde, a nearby side, to the Lord, and the side servants seem to have adjusted it by speaking out to me in various places. If I add, it would be the worst case scenario where there is no costume to move to the center unless we are ready by the Lords' Council. You can't waste your meals with Lieselator and Otilier.

"Okay. We'll be back here tomorrow."

"Tomorrow's measurements and costume choices will not be accompanied by me. I want to be of service to Master Rosemaine."

He looked at me as Bertilde said sadly that it was of no use at all in the House of Lords. I give in a little to Bertilde, who mourns that he could not seem to serve, even though he has been sidelined because of it.

"From what I've heard from Lieselators and Greaters, I guess they were sticking around to help Charlotte's tea party not lose near Merhior's side? I hear you're very good and you've been working hard to expand the Aerenfest epidemic even without me."

"But I can serve Lord Rosemayne until your sister has a star tie with Aub..."

If Brunhilde formally becomes Second Lady, Bertilde is set to become Brunhilde's side-servicing apprentice. Bertilde's hard work in wanting to do something a little bit sidelined before that is so cute.

"Then let Bertilde take care of one of the costumes you will order tomorrow. Order one of my summer costumes, please. The atmosphere is changing a lot even if you look at it yourself. Think about it."

"Thank you, I know."

I ask Bertilde, who smiles with joy, that I may also call Brunhilde tomorrow.

"You'll be busy getting ready for marriage, but I'd like to give you some hair decorations to celebrate Brunhilde's marriage and retirement. Bertilde, it's going to be sudden, but can you tell Brunhilde now?

"Of course, Master Rosemaine. Your sister will be delighted."

Once Bertilde takes his seat off to contact Brunhilde, I immediately begin my return journey to the Temple.

"My adoptive father told me and I just have some things to check at the temple, so I'll be back here tomorrow. Please keep Rosina, the dedicated musician, waiting at the castle. Hugo, the exclusive cook, has been detained for a long time in the dorm, so we'll take him back to the temple. Tomorrow you will bring your replacement."

Great Tier moves out to contact the temple or exclusively. Looking sideways at it, I turned my gaze to my own civilians.

"Hartmoot and Filine should accompany you to the temple. Rhoderich and Clarissa would like a copy of the book that Master Hannelore lent them at the castle. Then, although he is an escort knight, Dermuel, Angelica, Matthias and Laurenz go to me and the temple, otherwise he stands by in the castle. Perhaps there's a call from your foster father or uncle."

He could be summoned to the Knights for reworking defense plans, etc. I want to leave Brother Cornelius and Leonore, senior knights, but Angelica doesn't make sense to leave them.

While I was giving directions, the two Rezelators and Otilier began packing quickly. The size of the body has changed dramatically this time, so costumes in the temple also have trouble sleeping, so they need to be changed.

"Welcome aboard, Master Rosemaine. We look forward to your return soon."

It was the astonishing faces of the temple's side servants that I saw as I reached the temple and descended the horseman. breathtaking at the same time, gazing at me. It is not the eye of rejection that sees heretical objects, nor is it the side of the nobility that understands that there are circumstances and receives them in silence. Close eyes to Melchior, who honestly believed Haltmoot's words.

... Ah, I definitely feel brainwashed.

"I'm back now"

"... Welcome back, Master Rosemaine. Master Haltmoot told me that you grew really big and beautiful by the blessings of the gods."

Monica stares at me with her sparkling eyes and cages her mouth without denying it. Because Haltmoot talked about my safety and my magical growth as every day as depressing as it is, I know that there are few rejections and that they are accepted by everyone. Although my surroundings seemed to think that what I was talking about and the cage of heat was disgusting, it was thanks to Haltmut that I was able to return to my normal life.

"I was surprised to see you so young, but I am very pleased to know that Master Rosemaine has grown."

"Master Rosemaine is the most beautiful thing I know."

Fran and Gill are the two people who have served me since the beginning. I can't help but laugh at Fran, who smiles calmly and rejoices in my growth, and Gil, who holds my fist and praises me with a slightly lit face.

"Everybody's happy, and I'm happy too"

Ask Gil and Fritz to carry their luggage from the castle and contact Fran and Zahm as they return to the Temple Chief's office about their plans for tomorrow and their actions.

"Winter mitzvahs are approaching, can I get my ritual costume ready? Or would you ask Master Merhior to divine?

"The ceremonial costume is fine, as I was able to wear it even when I grew up. Until you're done getting your everyday clothes back on, there's nothing you can do about it but wear a ritual costume. Tomorrow I will be ordering measurements and costumes at the castle, so I will go through the conversation. Please let the Gilberta Chamber of Commerce fix it."

I'm going to take my measurements at the castle, so they should be able to fix the temple's everyday clothes as well.

"You have plans at the castle tomorrow, don't you? So, what the hell brings you back to the temple today?

"It's to find out the keys to the Bible. Now that we've discovered a few new facts, we need to revisit them."

When I return to the temple chief's office, I will drink the tea that Nicola has made me and wait for Fran to give me the keys to the Bible. Instructions were given to Darmuel and Angelica in the meantime.

"Dermuel, Angelica. I'm sorry, but would you tell the soldiers to go around all the gates of the lower town and watch out for anyone coming into the city with a silver cloth together? And I want you to make sure that when you discover it, you never make a scene and contact the Knights immediately. They will never have to be captured on the spot because the opponent is likely to be a high-ranking nobleman"

"Ha!"

Darmuel and Angelica immediately turned their backs and left the room, and Matthias, responding to a place called Silver Cloth, looked at me with a groan, "Dear Rosemaine, it is..." Silver cloth was discovered in the summer hall of Geebe Gerlach. Then it would be easy to guess who the silver cloth shows.

"It is possible that a suspicious person with magic might sneak in. The day before I came back, the feast was over, wasn't it? Then it's time to get rid of the snow, so you'll need to be alert to carriages."

Matthias kneels as he advances before Stasta and me, crossing his hands in front of his chest.

"Dear Rosemayne, let me go to Gerlach. When I went to investigate with Master Bonifatius, I discovered a cabin with some magic equipment hidden in the territory. Master Bonifatius is setting a trap so we can see when we open it. Let me go check."

"Ask your uncle. Even if you go, you're with the Knights."

I said to my uncle, "Matthias wants to go to Gerlach to confirm the trap," and flew Ordnants. My uncle will be busy refining Aerenfest's defense plans with his adoptive father and father, but he will get someone out of the Knights.

If I thought so, I immediately received a reply from my uncle.

"I just thought I needed confirmation, too. I don't want to be vandalized for the trap I set, so I'm on my way. Matthias, prepare the recovery pills well. I'll be back in a day."

My uncle apparently enforces himself with a full speed horseback while taking healing pills with Gabgab. I handed it to Matthias, with a sad face, when I brought out several types of restorative medicine from the hidden room.

"Matthias, use this. Effectiveness is guaranteed. I know it's hard to keep up with your uncle's full speed, but are you okay?

"... this confirmation was what I wanted. I'll go. I don't want Aerenfest vandalized anymore. I'll do everything I can to protect you."

Matthias receives the restorative medicine as he thanks him. Raulenz had just too few escort knights on his own. "Don't worry, Master Rosemayne," laughed Laurenz as he thought about calling Eudit to the temple.

"I contacted Eudit. We can't make Lord Rosemaine's protection any thinner, so he seems to be coming to the temple with Lord Bonifatius."

...... wow. My side, seriously excellent.

"This is the key to the Bible, Master Rosemaine"

Fran gave me the keys to the Bible, waiting for the butterflies and the escort knights in and out to settle down. I take the key and rise out of the chair.

"It helps, Fran. I'll cage you in a little hidden room. I don't need an escort inside. Please wait outside."

Leaving two of Eudit and Laurenz as escorts in the temple chief's office, I enter the hidden room alone. When I put the cotries and keys on the table in the concealed room, I put out the stapes and called them "Gluthrithheit".

Search for Biblical keys while holding your finger to the tablet-shaped book of Mestionora.

"Which one?

The keys of the Bible are made to pair with the foundations. There is a small demon stone on top of the demon stone for magic registration, and the color there is the same as the color of the territory, so if you look at the key, they know which territory key it is.

Heh, staring at the key thinking, it is a light vine colour, even though the demonic stone representing the colour of the territory must be a mountain blown colour close to the loess of Aerenfest.

"This is not the key to Aerenfest! Arlensbach key!? Huh? Why!? Me, this has opened the Bible many times, right?!?

As I rushed to read through the key items, I found out what a pair of scriptures and keys were with the underlying magic. Although the Bible can be opened if the magic registered in the Bible and the key is the same, the door that leads to the foundation does not seem to open unless it is the key to its territory.

"Huh? So where the hell is the Aerenfest key?

I tried to whine flashly, but in one corner of my head I had the answer all the time. Replacing keys also happened in a biblical theft case, so I guess it's in Georgine's hands for good. At that time I should have re-dyed the keys that were stained with the magic of others with my own magic. I recognized it as the real key because the Bible opened, but didn't think it was the key to another realm.

"But if we find out about this, they'll take Arlensbach's foundation the other way around, right? Why are you doing such a high risk...?

If this is Georgine's plan, I don't know what the hell you're thinking. Do you not want the foundation of Arlensbach? Or is it some kind of trap to fall this way? I don't know.

But being replaced with the key to Arlensbach only conveyed that Georgine was so obsessed with the foundations of Aerenfest that he had no problem abandoning his daughters and people there. I don't feel like I'm willing to get it and take care of it. Either that or he seems to want to take it from his adoptive father or break it with his own hands.

... if breaking Aerenfest is what Georgine-like wants?

The moment I thought about it, I felt blood all at once. If Georgine wants to break Aerenfest, not be Aub Aerenfest, Georgine will be my strongest enemy. If we don't get through the discussion, we don't get through the begging for our lives. There is no hesitation whatsoever in extinguishing your life, and you will not put it on your teeth about civilians or anything else. Instead, if you show an attitude of protecting it, it's going to focus there.

"It's not that hard if you just get the foundation without thinking about the rest at all..."

The magic of the foundation is the foundation of the territory. As I did in my lord candidate lecture, filling magic through the foundation enriches the land. Conversely, when all the magic is gone, the city will collapse, and the land will return to the White Desert. For this reason, I would normally take the time to swap my magic with the front Aub one by one, or I would beat out a ton of magic that completely surpassed the front Aub and repaint it all at once.

But if you just take it and destroy it, it won't take long, and you don't need tons of magic to dye it. All you have to do is prepare and bring in a large quantity of empty demon stones to let them suck the magic of the foundation, or consume a large quantity of the magic of the foundation by using great sorcery. Not only in the city of Aerenfest, but also in the countryside and in the woods. Once the territory returns to the white desert, it becomes very easy for the inhabitants to dye the magic of the foundations with their own magic, though almost completely annihilated.

No matter how impotent you are, it's an outrage you can do because you know it's a Zent that doesn't have a gluthris height that can't even punish those who have the foundation.

... I need a Zent. A Zent with a gluthris height.

I, who have the Book of Mestionora, will be able to easily stop Georgine if I can get the foundations of Jürgenschmitt. As there is a difference between what can be done in an Aub with a foundation and a Lordship candidate, not in the next Zent candidate who just has a Zent and a Gluthris Height with a foundation.

Above all, my book of Mestionora is perforated and, unlike perhaps a copy of Gluthrithheit for Zent in the back of the basement library, the kind of magic formations needed to perform the great sorcery are in a bug-eating state. We need to complete the book of Mestionora or get a copy of Gluthris Height.

... How do I protect Aerenfest? Surround the city with a shield in Szczeria?

It would be a waste of magic when you don't even know when Georgine is coming. And there's no point if a silver cloth passes through a magic shield. It's best to capture Georgine without letting him near the foundation. At least, if you want to get the foundation, you have to come in person.

Even if I am in a hurry to think alone, I can't think of a busy idea. You should inform your adoptive father before you think about it. I left the hidden room holding the keys of the Bible.

"I'm going back to the castle because I've found out something terrible. I'll keep this key for your safety. Fran, when Darmuel and Angelica return, tell them to wait at the back gate of the temple and at the front entrance, respectively. Then tell Haltmut in the clergyman's office to call Melchior to the temple."
