Dream Life

Episode Five: The Return of Dan

June 18.

Dan, who was going to Wellburn, came back.

Elena, about her marriage to Eleanor Masefield. I went to her father, Sir Masefield, to ask forgiveness, and I obtained forgiveness safely.

On the contrary, they told me to show my grandson sooner, so much so that he asked me to sign up sooner.

Its Sir and his wife have also come to the village, where they are to perform the wedding to coincide with the Dwarf Festival on July 1.

My best job is to sign up for marriage, but I'm also doing my job well.

First I gave a message to Dr. Raspade and Mr. Kitley at Doctus, and they kept the thick material from me.

Dr. Raspade's material, but information about the Golem's magic formations was compiled. This was what Nicholas was asking for to make his prosthetic hand better, and in just one month he wrote over a hundred pages of papers, and also sent me three books that were likely to be even more informative.

It was just unfortunate that even the teacher's materials did not have a magic formation that could be used on the prosthetic arm, just suggesting that it was going to be a clue.

The primary reason why there was nothing available was because the Golem was classified as a demon and only imitating people or animals could be successfully controlled by the Spirits.

The teacher's suggestion was about a magic formation about traps that were in ancient ruins and so on, which described a magic formation that moved the arms of stone statues and dolls.

I tried to make some according to it, but I couldn't convey the image well to the metal spirits, and I couldn't do anything to move properly.

Somehow I found something that seems to be a hint, so I want to go talk to my teacher sometime.

Mr. Kitley's, but this one was a little heavy.

She asked me to tell her about the relationship between the gods, especially the Creator (Creators), the Three Lord God, the Eight Class God, and the Nothingness God (Vanitas).

Furthermore, Dan's mouth tells him that the movements of organizations involved in the Dark God (Noctis) and the Light God (Lucidus), specifically the Demons and the Light God, are suspicious.

Needless to say about the Devil Nation, we do not have clear information about the Light Divinity. I just expect some movement from the keyword "son of Lucidus”.

Dan's story also concluded that Ms Kitley believed that Vanitas was involved in the collapse of ancient civilization, and that the key to this was the "temple of beginnings", or the Temple of Creatore, on the southern island of Gilsall.

A nearly fifty page letter had also been received from Mr. Kitley, which had written a reflection on the relationship between the gods and the existence of Vanitas.

They can be divided into three main categories about the gods.

Creative god Claire Tor who made the world.

The Three Lord God and the Eight Class God.

Vanitas the Nothingness.

As for this classification, it is consistent with my thinking and nothing novel.

Though I created the world about Clarethor, it hardly appears in subsequent myths.

The protagonists after the creation of the world are the Three Lord God and the Eight Class God. These eleven pillar gods gave various properties to the vessels made by Creator, completing the world today.

And about the mysterious Vanitas, it only says that he is a god that pairs with Creator, and he has no information in the extreme.

Still, he found some stories when he searched for literature at the Praetarian Library in Doctus, commonly known as the "Great Library”.

For example, there is talk of a new world being created when Creator and Vanitas meet, or of being gods who ruled the world before Creator, all of which are close to theories that are not in the mythical system, but information that most researchers have never even looked to.

For this reason, it is not clear what exactly exists to do, and it is the researchers' legend that it is not the gods that mean the end from the name.

And there was another important thing. That's the relationship between Light Theism and Vanitas.

Phototheism is a religion that suddenly appeared on the Sole Peninsula about five hundred years ago.

At that time, the Sole Peninsula was known as the western part of the Empire and development was progressing due to the abundance of land and warm climates. But exploited by the nobles of the Empire, the peasants were forced to live in poverty.

Even more unfortunately, the imperial capital was far away and the plight of the peasants could not be passed on to the imperial government.

The Governor of the West was worried about the situation and embarked on several reforms, but they were all crushed by the elders who had territory in the West.

That's when a cleric in the Temple of Light named Lucio Brillare launched an organization called Light Divinity.

The idea was of serenity: God of Light (Lucidus) illuminated everything, including the poor, and promised happiness in the Hereafter.

On the Sole Peninsula is the main mountain of the Temple of Light, originally a land of faith against Lucidus. Sometimes, phototheism spread instantly among the poor peasants.

The Governor of the West used his faith to explore independence from the Empire. Initially it was a losing streak to an overwhelming difference in power, but it did not find itself in a deadly situation due to its large population and the fact that it was far from the Peninsula of Wales, arguably the Imperial Nation.

Over and over again, he gained experience in combat and gradually increased the number of areas under his control. And it will be completely independent in two hundred years.

Ms. Kitley has pointed out that there is something strange about Luke's doctrine, although it is a light divinity that has made a great contribution to the establishment of the Holy Kingdom.

Although it recognized the existence of Vanitas in the Temple of Light, as soon as he became a light god, Vanitas' presence was erased and he became the God of the Twelve Pillars.

Furthermore, the Noctis of the Dark God, which pairs with Lucidus, the God of Light, was regarded as the Evil God.

It was Mr Kitley's reasoning that there might be a manoeuvre in this respect.

And the important thing is that before and after the doctrine was announced, there was a record of the Patriarch Brillare visiting the island of Gilsall.

If you visit the temple of the beginning, and there is any suggestion or heaven has descended, it is likely that the Temple of Claretor holds the key.

"I spoke to Mr. Kitley on my way home, and he said many times that he wanted to talk to Master Zach in person. And all the gods, this includes Vanitas, but he says there's a lot of talk that leads to the temple of beginnings. So if possible, I'd like you to come with me to Jilsol Island..."

The island of Gilsall is an island of the absolute sea, a hundred kilometres further south of Cheslock, the southernmost point of the empire. The route will be either to use occasional flights out of each city in the southern part of the empire or to take the sea route via the commercial city of Aurelia.

If you go through the southern part of the empire, you don't want to use it if possible because you have to go near the imperial capital, but by sea from Aurelia you need to stop at the port of the Holy King Luke, and as a phototheist and rubbed person it carries a great risk.

For this reason, I don't really think about going to Jilsol, but I feel I have to go somehow.

"I got my own information, but I had some interesting information about phototheism."

"Interesting information?

"Yes, as Master Zach knows, in Luke's Holy Kingdoms there is a conflict between the Holy King's House and the Church. On the surface, the Church seems to have the advantage, but the officials of the Holy King's Palace seem to be rolling back a little bit."

"Surely you were solemnizing the former Holy Kings when the current Archbishop took power. Before that, the Holy Kings are trying to rewind?

"Yes, I was told by a merchant from Aurelia, where the Inn was accidentally with him, that he was sending young bishops and priests, called hardliners of the Order, to the Kingdom of Lax to keep them away from the Holy King's kingdom".

"Isn't Lax an important hub for the expansion of forces? If you send a hardliner to a place like that, the reputation of the Order will suck... you mean that!

"Yes. In fact, I heard in Periclitle that the bishop of a town on the border of the Kingdom of Lax was caught trying to assassinate an adventurer who tried to protect the temple of Noctis. I'm the bishop, but I was an active militant in the battle against the Empire."

"militants... if you put it that way, you had a commando team and we needed to talk. Am I one of them?"

"I don't know that far. I'm the bishop, but the adventurer attacked me backwards and I was badly injured, and that's what I died of. It's just that there's a terrible story, and he also slaughtered his own man, the Eighth Festival, by cutting his torso in a circle with the magic of a circle of light. So I've heard so many times that Light God is crazy."

"Deadly to my men... and that adventurer is amazing. If the magic of the Ring of Light can cut the torso into rings, level 60 must be exceeded. If you're not used to magic, it's hard to deal with."

"Yeah, I thought the same thing and asked, like an adventurer with a knight collapse in everything, but I heard he was eighteen years younger than us. You think you can use magic at that age with a famous spear? It's a rumor in a tavern, so I don't know how right it is, but it's a big world."

"Right."

"I'll return to that, they're thinking of listing the country and eliminating light theism in the Kingdom of Lax. The merchants laughed when this information reached the Sacred Capital, saying that the higher ecclesiastical levels would panic."

To sum up Dan's story, Phototheism eliminated the clergy of radical ideas from the country and sent them to the distant kingdom of Lax. Those people are causing problems and an exclusion campaign is about to begin in the Kingdom of Lax. If that information reaches the Holy City of Paxlumen, we have to move to resolve the problem.

(Will Lucidus' son rise on this occasion? That's not an impossible story...)

When I'm immersed in my thoughts, "I'm talking about Mr. Luna..." I start reporting on Luna's situation in Periclitle.

"I asked Joan from" The Nest of the Arid Eagle, "and he said he's doing well. I haven't gotten my grades up yet, but the levels are going well and it seems like a little celebrity among the young adventurers as a bowman"

"Really?

I don't know what it feels like to be famous at about level twenty-five.

When I heard that, Dan laughed,

"You mustn't think by the Lockhart family standards. Seventeen or eight young people are usually less than twenty."

It does make me laugh bitterly when I'm right.

"By the end of the year, I'm going to be moving to Mr. Yoan's inn. You said you'd be a little more concerned."

"Don't let Yoan take the trouble."

"You said if you think so, turn the scotch a little bit more."

They were reading my personality.

"Got it. I'm running out of time to turn to the Blacksmith Guild, so let's turn it around a little bit more. 'Cause that would be more regular."

So when I thought I had finished all my stories, I said, "It's a completely different story, but I need to talk to you..."

I was worried about that look, so I said, "What happened?," he said.

"I mean my wedding, but I guess it has to be Dwarf Festival Day?

"Is there a problem? Ulrich and Dägenhardt were happy, and Lord Masefield was willing to ride, wasn't he? Well, I know you and Guy aren't on board."

His wedding was set for Dwarf Festival day because he had a suggestion from Welburn Branch Manager Dagenhardt Grabsch.

Since our wedding was to coincide with the Dwarf Festival, "I guess Dan's should do the same," Ulrich, the master craftsman, also decided in favor of "that's good".

The only thing Dan and his father Guy said they wanted to be a little more modest, but Elena's father Sir Heathcourt Maysfield said in a drunken momentum when he drank with the Dwarves, "Wonderful!" Because I agreed, I have a history that they also gave up.

"Sir Masefield was scolded by his wife..."

Although he agreed with the drunken momentum in his explanation, he was scolded by his wife Mirabelle after returning to the room and is in trouble.

Sir Maysfield, but the same forty-five years old as his father, Masaias. He is a knight who holds a medal in his battle with Lukes six years ago.

I hear the swordsman level is about thirty, not the most as a warrior, but as a commander. It didn't feel great looking either, and it didn't seem tempting enough to convince the Dwarves.

"I don't think I can do this right now. It's not just Dagenhardt, it's Ulrich. You mind if I talk to your wife?

Slightly discouraged by my words,

"I'll take care of it for me. Thank you."

That's what I said and walked away.

In the end, Dan's persuasion didn't seem to work, and it was to be grand before the Dwarf Festival's liquor review in front of the main entrance to Hakaga Hill.
