Ashes and Kingdoms

"Doesn't it smell like blood?

Yeah, and he smelled the air and Finn glanced. Nellis, who was spinning the pan, looks back and laughs bitterly.

"Because this morning I offered one pig to the altar. I'm spraying the smell off, but I think it'll still be a while. I stuck it in my bowels and simmered it later, and then I cooked it for a banquet, and I stuck it out with Mr. Orsina and everything."

"That pot is different."

"You want me to make my own wedding treat? This is boiled and made into a soup ingredient. Dilute it so you can drink it. Because it's hot this time of year, your stomach and intestines are weak, and because of this, it's easy to deliver food but you can't eat it or break your stomach."

Because this is nutritious, and it doesn't strain the stomach and intestines. As he explains it, Nellis lifts his tempura to make sure it's okay. Finn smiled and placed his hands gently on his sister's head.

"Thanks"

"Nothing, I didn't do anything special enough to thank you. More importantly, brother, can I sell oil here? You must be busy."

Nellis looked annoyed and stared at her brother. Finn clasps his neck slightly and then disperses.

When I went outside, the temple grounds were busy with citizens everywhere.

Neither eastern warfare nor southwestern anomalies are transmitted to this north side. At present, the primary interest of the citizens of Nanais was the wedding of the Dragon Marquis. Now to prepare for it, a large crowd is gathering in the temple. Cleaning, decorating, and meeting the instructions for the day.

It's not Finn's intention, of course.

He snuck up on Mac alone and asked me to give him a ride to the wedding. I didn't want to be chilled, just before I left east. But when I returned, the news of the fall of the main customer spread throughout the city. Finn's hope of having such a ceremony at no hassle or expense is being completely ignored and is developing into a festival that raises the whole city.

Plans are already underway for the main actors of the day, including feasts in the square and competitions by citizens. Finn, who shut up at first, also gave up in a strange way because he wasn't the only one who would be a spectacle at first, etc.

The scale of the event has grown, but for that matter, the preparation is steadily progressing because of the increase in manpower. Nellis' wedding costumes and more have been prepared by Fauna for a long time, and Lena doesn't need clothes or dowry tools. The priest has requested Winnea. Finn has little work to do. It's not like the other parent you should go say hello to.

Finn was able to devote himself to supporting Mazra. Even though some citizens reluctantly could not afford it with Nanais, it was also very much approved by Parliament because the faces from the beginning of the reconstruction agreed with this. We can't help each other when we're in trouble and say we can't do it without surpluses.

Finn had already made two round-trips and handed out what he needed first, such as salt and wheat. A small amount, but he really came back, which seems more important to the villagers. On my second visit, people's expressions were much brighter than the first.

(One more time before heading south, I wonder if I can make it)

Wanting to deliver Nellis' exhaustion as soon as possible, Humm, Finn conceived. and there,

"Oh, I was there! Brother, Taz is here!

Mac's bright voice called. Finn looked back and found Mac pointing under the cliff at the gate. Apparently, the ship has entered the harbor. Finn hurried over to you. Mac makes his voice play as he stands first and down the ramp.

"I left a letter in three places: Winnea, the Imperial Capital and Comrith, and they received it at Comrith. I stopped by Winnea to buy a wedding."

"I'm glad I made it. Could it be..."

"Yeah, I got the priest on board, too. You surprise me, brother."

……

It was a decent fin, but I saw the man at the pier and he made me look up to him as predicted. Could it be that Fentas, who is supposed to be in a position to keep the Temple of Naena in Winnea, would come walking all the way with a large load on his back?

"Dear Fentas! What is it, this? I can't believe you're here by yourself."

As Finn rushed over and received his baggage, Fentas replied, spreading his usual mild grin across his round face.

"You can't send a bad guy to Dragon Hou's wedding. And… so I thought I'd take this opportunity to move to this temple."

"Huh?"

"I have spoken to Nellis before when I sent a surrogate priest. She is too young to ever send a priest at every festival, and to leave it to Nellis alone to say that. In addition to his diverse role in Nanais, we need another permanent cleric when we finally get married."

"But you..."

"The temple of Winnea has been left to the successor priest. It's time for me to give up my position as head of the temple priesthood. It's not a good idea to have the same person sitting around forever."

Fentas shook his head gently, but during the bundle, his face swung. If it were to become a city temple, there would be some internal stuffiness. You mean the crisis has left and the need for solidarity has faded and the opposite eye has surfaced?

Finn figured that out, but did not touch on that point, and silently heads to the ramp to the temple. On that back, he said, "Hey!" and a voice for two flew in.

"Finn! You're such a flirtatious guy, why don't you come over here and say hello to me!

"Hey, could you wait, wow... hey"

I quickly understood Taz's voice, but who was the other. Finn blinks at his familiar voice and turns around. the pier, where a small glimmer of light was about to roll. Originally, Kveris just stumbled on his luggage and rolled.

While Finn is out of time, Taz helps and wakes up the little lawman to bring him in. Kuveris caught up with Finn in a hurry as he busted his sandy clothes.

"Hi, it's been a while, my lord! Happy wedding this time!

With a grin, by way of example, I shake and shake Finn's empty hand with both hands. Taz said looking funny at Finn's face.

"I picked it up at Comris. You know an old buddy of mine?

"Oh, yeah, Nix took care of me. But... shouldn't you be going home?

Confused, Finn compares Kuveris to his baggage. Kuveris then looked odd and scratched his nose head slightly embarrassed.

"That verse, I beg your pardon for turning down the invitation. Yeah, sure, I was going back south. Since I met His Excellency over there, Nix, I've been wondering how you guys are. That's what the strange astrologer advised me in the town of Comrith..."

"I'm a weird old lady," Taz added. "As much as you've seen, don't you have one? I'm a troubled old lady who puts on her necklaces and bracelets and says just what she wants to say without even listening to people. He seems to be a popular occupier in Comris, and he's queued all the time."

"... somehow, I feel like I know who it is. Mr. Kuveris, what did they say?"

"That's what I'm saying... it's no use going back."

"What?"

"The Great Forest of Organia has moved, so there's nothing you can do back there. More to the north of Dragon Hou's...... Ah, hon. He said to follow His Excellency the Dragon Hou. Yeah, well, they pushed this."

Explore retreats and luggage and remove folded paper. Finn, feeling the cold thoughts of his spine, dropped Fentas' luggage once and received the paper carefully.

(Was the reading sweet?

A dark and horrible sign, felt far south. Doesn't that mean that while you're bringing it about, that's gonna cause disaster?

- It wasn't.

Follow the lines of the letter with your eyes, Zhu on Finn's cheek. What the hell, Taz and Mac also peered in from both sides and laughed unexpectedly.

"'The guidance is in the dark when you drown in your arms'? That's good advice for him to start his honeymoon."

Taz slaps Finn on the back with a slight bite. Finn folded the paper as he leaned against it, lifting the unloaded package again.

"I lead Lady Fentas to the temple. Mac, I'm sorry, but I need you to take Mr. Kuvelis to the city hall."

"Well, the house is upside down in preparation right now."

Mac laughed bitterly, confirming that he should wait in the reception room, and then urged Kuveris to walk out.

"So shall we go to the temple? Nellis is over there, isn't he?

Taz has a proper meeting with Fentas, while sharing and holding baggage. I also raise my bags on my shoulder, but the contents would be a gift to Nellis. The three took each other up and climbed the ramp.
