Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Side: leon's

After what happened yesterday, I carefully relocated to a place a little away from the city and headed to the Holy City to avoid passing through the city yesterday.

Then, after running for half a day, I finally arrived at the Holy City.

"You've finally arrived.In the meantime, let's see if the carriage arrives safely. "

Well, it can't be safe.

I went to the inn that I had designated as my destination.

"Looks like you didn't make it to the Holy City."

"Sounds like it. I couldn't find a carriage like that anywhere."

I checked the inn and found nothing like our carriage.

If we keep going as planned, it's strange that we haven't arrived at all, so we'll think it was destroyed on the way.

"Well, we've had such a hard time, so there's no way that the Golems who left with such magnificence are safe."

That's true too.In the meantime, why don't we get a new carriage and bring Sherry and the rest of us back to the Fontaine house as planned? "

"Yes, we'll take care of the carriage."

Then he pulled the carriage out of his bag and transferred to the castle while they were watching the carriage.

"Everybody ready?

"Good. Nothing?

As soon as she transferred, she was hugged by Shelley.

I seem to have worried a lot.

"Yeah, just in case, it's okay."

"Still, I can't rest assured that I'm actually safe."

"That's right. I was really worried."

"Sorry."

As I apologized, I hugged everyone.

And then we couldn't keep the Hermans waiting long, so we quickly moved to the carriage.

Then he went straight to the Fontaine mansion.

"It's been a long time, Mr. Leons.Looks like you've been attacked a lot... but I'm relieved you're safe. "

When I arrived at the Mansion, Gael welcomed me.

I don't know who did this yesterday, and I don't think I should trust this guy very much.

Well, I don't think this guy has any point in assassinating us.

"Yes, I'm fine because I'm not particularly injured."

"That's good.Rest assured that the foolish kingdom nobles will soon fall. "

If he attacked yesterday to stop the royalist aristocrats, he's one of them.

Well, if you think about it, it's probably the old man in the staff.

"Well, I'll leave that to you.Besides... do you know any nobles who hire vampires?

"Cumming, vampire?Is it possible that the vampire attacked us yesterday?

Hmm? You seem to know something.

"No, I didn't fight directly."

"Really...."

"Do you know anything about vampires?

"... okay?That's all I'm talking about.There are a few people in this country who know this. "

"Yes"

"The people who employ vampires in this country... are the Pope."

"Pope?"

How can the Pope hire demons?

"The Pope's assassination unit... the Pope's hand is made up of the Beast tribe, the Elves, and the Devil.And he's a vampire who's been alive for nearly a thousand years. "

"A thousand years...?

Along with Michelle and the Devil Kings.

Maybe he's a reincarnate too?No, it could be that vampires simply don't have a lifespan.

But it would be strong enough to live for a thousand years...

"Do you mind if I give my staff a detailed explanation?

"Yeah."

"Let me explain."

"Once upon a time... there were still demons in this human world.Three heroes are said to have driven the demons out of the human world.One is the first king and the second brave.The second, the first emperor... this one doesn't have a lot of records, but it's also said to be the first magician.And the third is the founder of this diocese, the eleventh princess, the last Virgin. "

Three heroes...A brave man would be a brave man.I'm sure the first emperor was Mikhail.

It's just... I don't really understand the introduction of the Virgin.

"The Last Virgin?

"Yes. I hate to say this in front of Leria and Liana... but the Virgin is just the last woman to draw her blood."

Oh, that's right.Got it.

The last Virgin is the last Virgin who was a reincarnate.

I'm not a reincarnated person, except for the Virgin Leena and Leria.

"I see... the last Virgin was definitely something different?

"Yes, it was the only resuscitation technique in the world."

"Resuscitation... does that mean you can bring the dead back to life?

If that's possible, it's a really reincarnated cheat skill.

"I think there was some sort of condition, but it's on the record that it did bring the dead back to life."

"That's amazing.So someone killed the last Virgin?

That's what happens when you're not here right now.

Well, you won't be able to revive yourself, and maybe it would be tough if other reincarnated people targeted you.

"I'm not sure at the end.Maybe a vampire who's been alive for a thousand years knows. "

"How long has that vampire been in Christianity?

"Oh, excuse me.You've derailed a little.It is said that the vampire originally served the last Virgin. "

I see. So you explained the last Virgin to me.

"Oh, you think I've always served the Pope with that remnant?

"Yes, it seems that vampires make a blood contract… Apparently, they made a blood contract with the Virgin to live for the sake of the Catholic nation for a lifetime in exchange for something."

"A blood contract....."

A vampire's ability?

"Perhaps the Pope's more than necessary fear of the former Virgin and Liana was linked to the blood contract."

"What do you mean?"

"Today's Pope is said to be able to use a special magic called predictive magic.The magic of seeing the future of oneself and others. "

Yeah. That's a lot of religious stuff.

"And now you know how to cancel the blood contract?Do vampires hate the Pope?

Maybe he's resenting the whole tribe.

I've been working dirty as an assassin for hundreds of years.I'll hate you too.

"Maybe.Originally treated as the knight of the Virgin, she is now used as an assassin..... "

"Is that what this is all about..."

That would convince the Pope to be afraid of the Virgin.

"That's why.The Pope was scared when he was talking about the Virgin. "

"Um... may I ask you one question?

As the vampire's explanation came to a close, Lena raised her hand.

"I don't mind. Don't say one thing, ask as many questions as you like."

"Thank you very much. Now, let me ask you something.Was it really the Fontaine family that killed my parents?

……

Gael shut up when Lena asked.

And I thought I opened my mouth and turned to Leria.

"Hah... Leria, go back to your room."

Huh?

"What we're going to talk about is the survival of the Fontaine family.I'm sorry, but I can't tell you yet. "

Hmm. Does that mean you're gonna answer Lena's question?

"Wow, I see.Excuse me. "

"Now... let's talk.About the truth ten years ago. "

After confirming that Leria had left, Gael began explaining.

For what reason did Lena's family get killed...?
