It's all one flower.

1785. Armoured soldiers

Near the center of the Rufus seminary site, the narrow dirt road between the training building and the school building also disturbs the soil as if it had been cultivated by the movement of earthfish.

But there were no bullet marks or explosions around here.

As far as Magic Soldier Rubel is concerned, on the first floor of the school building there are signs of the use of grenades against scaled spiders.

Second Lieutenant Razootchik questioned the Artillery field commander, pretending to be a foreign beast exterminator unknown to the Republic of Artel.

"Yesterday, you were with the star markers, weren't you?"

"Yesterday and three days ago, two days at the scene."

"There are only powerless people, right?How do they fight? "

The field commander of Artel Army vs. Magic Beast Special Operations closed his eyes with a blue line in his temples.Exhale slowly, raise your eyelids, and stare at the ruined garden in the courtyard to answer.

"The Star-Labeled Valiant Corps consists only of innocent people.In other words, you can only use regular weapons. "

"The news commentary called the star symbol the Kilcrust fundamentalist group, but the Special Forces are allowed to use magical weapons and armor."

Second Lieutenant Lazootchik was slightly surprised by the Machodean pretense.

The Arthur Commander distorts his lips.

"They just don't know."

"What are you doing?"

"The mysteries of the Bible and our magic."

"Is there a trick to fight together and not notice?"

Rubel was really surprised and his voice turned around.

"There are no priests or Hoshido artisans among the regular members of the star symbol.It's a faithful community. "

The field commander sighs at his feet and stares at the courtyard.

The star is marked by an extremist group that separated itself from the Artel Party during half a century of civil unrest.

Treat all wizards as evil and repeat terrorist activities from that time to the present.

During the Civil Unrest Period, cities in the wizarded islands were burned out of the sky outside the magical sphere by air force, accelerating religious confrontation among the citizens of the former Lacus Lacrimalis Republic.

After the separation of the star symbol, the Artel Party appealed to the world for the protection of human rights and freedom of belief of the powerless people as a political claim, and continued to call for the reform of a fixed hierarchical society where the powerless people could never go up due to the inherent difference between religious values that would never be compatible with the Franciscans and the existence of magic.

The force of the star marker. Artel Party speech.Two forces united the Kilcrusians.

On the Fraxinus side, sectarian strife by followers of multiple gods and a potential conflict between the people of the land and the people of the lake erupted and ceased to be a single rock.

Different from the means claimed, everyone is guilty of the consequences of the destruction and division of the former Lacus Lacrimaris republic.

The intricately intertwined beliefs and nationalities did not dare, but by dividing the country into three parts, they gained immediate peace.

The star symbol was branded heresy from the cathedral during the civil unrest of the half century and moved its home base to the neighboring Republic of Lanista, but it continues to operate in several countries.

Intellectuals who have been allowed to touch deep parts of the scripture, such as priests and star craftsmen in the Republic of Artel, are not inside the star markers.

"But there aren't many people close enough to use it."

In the Republic of Arthur, rare wizard soldiers threw up in disgust.

"Theologists have a small number of participants in star markers."

"Why?"

I've never heard of Rubel. The Second Lieutenant didn't even know, so he rounded his eyes.

"If you majored in theology at a university and had a doctoral thesis, you would need the permission of the Order to get the title of 'Theologist'."

Field commanders respond sincerely to foreign beast exterminators.

"I don't know about Fraxinus, but Kilcrusm values scholarship and guarantees academic freedom from past heretical hunting reflections."

"As a theologian, if you need permission from the church to become a theologian, you won't be able to study doctrine from a different angle than others or the precedent."

The Commander smiled back at the second lieutenant, who pretended to be a Machodean.

"Some are priests and theologians, but they don't participate in star symbols."

"Doesn't the clergyman show those who believe in heretical teachings the right way to believe?"

"Do you think that attempts to correct the path have never been made in the past, including in times of civil unrest?"

Magic Armor Rubel looked back at the star marker information from the previous investigation.

... who was at the bus stop this morning, what do we do next?

"Something... seems impossible."

"In times of civil unrest, priests who tried to correct the heretical ideology of star markers were killed.But after more than 200 years of democratization, the cathedral disbanded the religious police and stopped dealing with the heretics. "

"So the star marker is a group of amateurs of faith who saw only a part of the scripture and advanced their thinking?"

The Commander nodded at Rubel's face.

"Why don't you let me read all the scriptures?"

"I'm not a priest.I don't know what the church thinks. "

I grasped the sword again and traced the spell of [Arrow of Light] engraved into my sword with my glove finger.

"Even if I read only what was disclosed to the public, it didn't say anything about eliminating any magic and killing all the wizards."

"Well then, I'll tell you the right thing....."

"Personally, I think the saint just told everyone not to abuse magic."

"But the star signs don't admit magic at all, do they?"

"Yes, only earthfish and silver-scale wormfish can usually be dealt with with with by weapons and silver bullets, but there are usually other strong beasts, such as the one where the inhabitants died first."

Rubel and the Second Lieutenant imagined the situation and silently pulled their chin.

"Fighting while defending the brave soldiers is a difficult business.Many people were killed and wounded. "

"Well, normally, you'll have to keep your feet and hands wrapped."

"I can't say it out loud."

When Second Lieutenant Razootchik showed sympathy, the magical Arthur field commander responded with a grin.
