Kuro no Maou

Green Wind Month 1.

Two weeks have passed since Sparta fell.

There are still a large number of crusaders stationed in the capital, which is completely barren.With the complete occupation complete, the merchants are on board as soon as possible, and many colonists will be here soon.

Cardinal Ars, the Commander-in-Chief, was watching the new territory of the Crusades and the transformed capital Spada from afar.

"Hey, this is a stunning view!"

A floating tourist cheer rises right next to Ars.

The Lord of Weather Voices is Bishop Gregorius.

Ars turned to the fox-eyed man, who could only feel the smell of sex over and over again, and just turned his eyes silently.

"When I'm flying like this, I remember the first time I boarded Avalon.Hey, it wasn't time to ride in the dark and enjoy the view in the Tenma wagon at that time.Ah, and the Tenma wagon is convenient, but the shaking is pretty bad, so there's no need to calm down.Even though I made expensive shopping, I haven't ridden since then. "

To Gregorius, who chatted with Belabella, Ars decided to listen for the time being, pinching only the right gavel.

"After all, if a cautious person like me is not as stable as this, I can't be relieved to float in the sky.Still, this is really amazing, isn't it, a sky carrier?Exactly the ancient mystery… No, it was God's miracle that brought it back to life. "

These two are now standing on the vast deck of Sky Mother Peaceful Heart, an ancient giant weapon in service.

It is widely known in the Cross Church that this flying castle, commonly known as the Air Fortress, is home to the Eleventh Apostle Mass.

Essentially, Mass uses this ancient weapon of miracles, which has been revived in modern times, only as its own private space or as a convenient means of transportation.I don't allow anyone else to use it.

Therefore, it is very rare to have someone named Ars and Gregorius on board, who is neither Mass's favorite nor anything.

It was for a good reason that the famous Mass, the first of its kind, deliberately offered a place called Peaceful Heart.

"You've both enjoyed the view of the sky."

It was the Duke of Arc Wright who spoke from behind.

The descendants of a clan that has long believed in the Cross religion, headed by the twelve nobles of Avalon.

"Please come this way, Your Majesty the Holy King is waiting for you."

And the three went unto the palace of Baguia, the castle of Mass.

In the vicinity of the stunningly decorated main gate, there are traces of intense battle, such as large cracks and explosions on the deck.

What kind of bullshit worked in front of the castle where the Apostle lived?Unfamiliar with the details, Ars stepped into the palace, lying on the sidelines of the mysterious battle.

As Cardinal, Ars has seen many of these luxurious buildings, including the Cathedral of Elysion, as well as these palaces and churches.

This white palace is splendid because of its construction… Is its interior a reflection of the taste of the main mass?It is overflowing with gold and brilliant accessories of various colors, and honestly, it seems like a vulgar gold hobby.

There are many who prefer these visibly gorgeous things to the nobles of the natural monarch.

Speaking of which, I have heard that the Eleventh Apostle Mass originally awakened in a brothel in a regional city.Her origins are speculative.

Walking with a fantastic view of the interior, Ars finally arrives at his destination.

A large, double-opened door opens and enters the largest hall in the palace - the moment your spine freezes into tension.

But that's not impossible either.

Because there were actually four messengers in the hall.

"Hmm, finally out? We're not gonna keep the Apostle waiting, you bonkers."

A huge round table placed in the center of the large hall.

And it was the eleventh Apostle Mass, the LORD of this flying castle, that flies down in one of his seats, and flew over the cheeks as the door opened.

The same attitude as when she saw it one day, but the proud beauty of what she was wearing was covered in only the left half of the mask.

In any case, one of the strange fashions, Arus never thought of Mass as hiding half of his face in a mask.

"Be the first, Mass."

What he says with a dazed face is the young Twelfth Apostle, Mariabel, almost the same age as Mass.

For Ars, he is more personal than the Seventh Apostle Saliel.

His right-hand Archbishop Lucrom has been dating since Isabel's liberation, and Mariabel is his brother.Of course, Mariabel and I had known each other before we woke up to the Apostle.

In the Battle of Hell for the Liberation of Isabelle, the Mariabelle boy, who was only a child, saw the angel of the Seventh Apostle Saliel as active and thought it was impossible to attract her... honestly, I could not imagine a future in which he would shoot Saliel down even when he became the same Apostle.

"Now you're finally ready, but isn't it a little too gorgeous?I knew the Commander-in-Chief would have liked Senpai Sariel. "

It was not Isenhalt the First Prince of Sparta who looked at Arus' face and said such a thing, but Eye the Eighth Apostle who took over his body.

Ars, who had been working with Sariel for a long time, also knew about the Eighth Apostle Eye, who came to her regularly.

A blonde-haired girl, who should have been a newcomer adventurer, is now a great red-haired girl.

I just heard about Ai's "specialization ability (Iggyst)" recently, but when I came to see him in front of me, I was naturally convinced that he was the Eighth Apostle Ai himself.

……

And Ars saw a new apostle for the first time.

A straight face with blue eyes on silver hair seems similar to Abel, but this one still looks like a boy, and the attitude of not even taking a glance at this one is somewhat outrageous.

It is not hostile, but any dull one will know that he is alert.Due to Nero's unconscious aura, there is a dark white magic in this hall.Talking with a plain face is because they are all messengers, and not a very pleasant space for Ars, who is nothing but a human being as a cardinal.

Apparently the new thirteenth apostle was chosen for his troublesome character, which is often found in the apostle, and Arus felt a dark feeling.

Already, I miss Sariel.But even if I told you to come back now, it would be too late.

"--Exactly spectacular, there are four apostles chosen by God!What divinity, Gregorius! "

"You're as loud as ever. I thought you called."

"Absolutely not, Sir Mass.Me and others are just messengers - this time our new Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades has arrived, so I would love to greet the apostles who are already active on the ground. "

"Hmm, Ars has become Commander-in-Chief after all.Is it because of the vengeance of Mr. Sariel? "

"Long time no see, Cardinal Ars. Your brother is not with you."

I suddenly let Gregorius pass through the gaze of the Mass, suddenly showering me with irregular words.Only Mariabel, who speaks with common sense, is now the only trusted apostle for Ars.

"Are you the Commander-in-Chief of the Crusades?You're a normal person. "

"I see you for the first time. My name is Cardinal Ars Isabel Barthelome.He was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the Crusade by His Holiness Pope Alexandros III.Later, as you will know, the Thirteenth Apostle, Sir Nero.I would like to extend my heartfelt congratulations on the birth of a new Apostle. "

I was curious, but I finally responded respectfully to Nero, who gave me his gaze and voice.

Nero called himself a "normal person," but can someone like you stand it?There will be no order or shit in this world.

Arus knows well the strength of the Apostles, but he also understands their troubles, which cannot be tied by discipline or common sense.

"Well, whatever. Sit down and start talking."

I wasn't waiting for Nero's permission, but I separated the greetings, and the three of Cardinal Ars, Bishop Gregorius, and Duke Arklight also came to the round table.

Even a Cardinal's position is higher than that of the Apostle, who received the strongest blessing of the White God.However, when the same apostles decide on the sequence, it quickly becomes a matter of confusion.

Only the top five people on the street can get a kiss from anyone.

At least in the Quartet of Apostles here now, it would not be good for anyone to be under someone.It was inevitable that a round table could be chosen to sit on an equal footing, regardless of whether it was above or below.

Then came together four apostles and three men.

Now these seven are at the heart of the cross sect that exists on the Pandora continent.Even with the same crusade, each of them has different feelings and different forces, so it might be called the Crusade Summit.

"First of all, thank you again for gathering the four apostles here -----"

Alth, the top Crusader, gave a formal greeting for the time being.

However, there is magical pressure from Mass to finish the hard story quickly, and Eye and Nero are completely indifferent expressions.

After all, Arus figured it would be better to get down to business quickly than manners in this situation.

"It can be said that the Crusades have finally managed to attack Sparta, which was the second most difficult task, and have gained a foothold to march across Pandora.In addition to Avalon, there was cooperation from countries of the Cross faith throughout the continent. "

For generations in Avalon, the crusaders of Pandora, headed by Duke Arklight, were waiting for the arrival of the Crusades.

Bishop Gregorius, who thought he had foreseen its existence in advance, contacted them and tied them up with the Crusades.

"Our Crusades welcome our fellow Pandora.Shall we join forces and restore the faith of the white gods to this land? "

"I don't care what you say.I won't forgive you if you try to reach out to my country, whether you're Cross or not. "

With Nero's cold gaze, he bathed his whole body in a frozen aura.

A tremor came, but he didn't give it away at all, and Ars stared straight back at Nero and responded.

"With regard to countries that have already demonstrated their faith in the Cross, they shall be regarded as compatriots on an equal footing with us.Therefore, the Crusades will not attack in any way, nor will they claim their rights to the land. "

"Can you guarantee that?Or do you swear to God with your mouth alone? "

"Yes, because I am a devout cross.I swear to God -- but let me show you a more certain oath here, not a prayer. "

So Ars put the crate to the round table.

As entrusted to him by the Second Apostle Abel.

"... what is this?"

Nero was the only one who looked suspicious.

Mass and Eye, who seemed bored, turned their gaze toward the wooden box at once.

Arus thought, like other personnel, that an apostle working in Sinclair would be able to tell just by looking at this box.I've already been surprised to see this suddenly.

"The secret treasure of God that our church boasts.The Holy Relic, the Three Holy Grail, is the "Holy Grail of the Pure Blood of the Virgin Aria."

"Bullshit, seriously!? This is real!!"

"Wow, it's real... I can't believe the brave man let go of the chalice"

"S, wow, this is the real chalice...."

Don't tell the Cross that it's too much for the Mass to scream.

Eyes were also surprised, and she looked like a child with a round treasure like Mariabelle in front of her.

"Oh, how wonderful! The True Grail will be entrusted to Cardinal Ars when he is elected Commander-in-Chief!"

And Gregorius gave us the usual wild overreactions, but Ars was well aware that the moment he saw the chalice, he did not show any surprising expression.

After all, this man even knew he was bringing the chalice.

"... that little dirty cup, what is it?"

"Unfortunately, His Majesty King Nero. The Holy Grail is the greatest and most famous object of miracle that is said to have been bequeathed by a white god, called the" Holy Relic. "

Should the boulder be called the Holy Grail?The Duke of Arclite, who is also a representative of Pandora's Cross, briefly told Nero the legend of the Holy Grail.

"There are three chalices in different times, collectively known as the Three Chalices."

The First Holy Grail, the 'Pure White Holy Grail'.

At the end of the distant generations, when Eden, the paradise built by the white gods on the earth, was left and returned to the world of God in heaven, it was this cup that enclosed the power to rule Eden for the remaining men.

It is said that it has the power to rule Eden, that is, to freely manipulate the world - its whereabouts have already been lost in ancient times.It is unclear where it is today, but it is made clear by God that it is still left somewhere in this world.

The second Holy Grail, the Holy Grail of the Pure Blood of the Virgin Aria.

Before the birth of the Son of God, Aria, when she was a pure maiden, used the cup to offer holy prayers to the White God.

Originally it was just a metal cup, a common offering at the time, but when Aria's prayers went through to the white gods, the cup was filled with wine that God had given her.It is said that whoever drank it will have the power of a great white god -- the second apostle Abel drank it and challenged the last dragon emperor to conquer it remains legendary.

The third chalice, the First Apostle Adam's Birthday Chalice.

And when Alia bare Adam the Son of God, it was a cup for baptism.

Like the Holy Grail of Pure Blood, it is said that if you baptize with this grail, you will gain the power of God, but only Adam will wave that power afterwards and before.

The First Apostle, Adam, boasted of the power of isolation from the apostles of the time, and was close to God while being human.Legend remains that he used the Birthday Chalice to exert a powerful power to shake the world.

However, such Adam was also attacked by Demon King Mia, who lost his faith in the Cross from the Pandora continent, marking the end of history....

The Birthday Chalice is still held by Adam, who sleeps deep underground in the sacred city of Elysion, according to Sinclair's Cross Church.

"--that is, the only Holy Grail we can see is this' Holy Grail of the Pure Blood of the Virgin Aria '."

When the Duke of Arklight finished talking about the Grail legend, Ars caught Nero like that.

Although the Sinclair Cross Church publicly claims to own both Adam's Birthday Chalice and Abel's Pure Blood Chalice, Adam is very suspicious if he can't confirm his existence.Of course, it is impossible for the church to use the power of the Nativity Grail.

However, the "Grail of Pure Blood", which has a precedent of the existence of objects and the use of the power of God, is the embodiment of the miracle of God that the Church prides itself on.

"Hmm, I don't particularly feel anything like this -- oh, yeah, it's a very strict seal, so I don't feel anything."

Did you notice the presence of the seal on the chalice? For the first time, Nero turned his attention to something interesting.

"Yes, and to avoid touching the power of God, the Grail of Pure Blood has been sealed by a chosen magician among the Apostles for generations.This generation is sealed by the Fourth Apostle, Sir Judah. "

"The sealing ceremony that the wise man took seriously is just a luxurious item.I'm not sure even Eye of Stream can break it. "

"I hope you will stop playing like that, Sir Eye."

Stop it, seriously stop it, I stared at the eye with a smile in my heart.

"Anyway, I would like to conclude a reciprocal alliance by exchanging cups at this Pure Blood Chalice."

Alas declared so and put a bottle of wine on the table.

It is the same wine as Abel on the night he was entrusted with the chalice.

"Wow, if a boulder takes you to the Holy Grail.Send me a cup of God's power. "

Yes, yes, Ey-chan, have a nice drink too ~

"As an apostle, I assure Cardinal Arus of my full cooperation."

Mass and Ai bang the table like a drunk in a tavern, asking for a drink from the chalice.Mariabel is the only serious answer, but as for Arus, it is enough that the three apostles of Sinclair agree.

In contrast, Pandora's new apostle,

"... that's good. The Crusader leader is here with an important treasure.I will admit that my neo-Avalon is enough to promise an alliance. "

"Your majesty, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Grace. With this Holy Grail alliance, may I prove Sinclair's friendship and faith with Pandora?"

"Hmm, great! Let's make a historic step towards restoring the faith of the white gods to the land of Pandora!!"

Therefore, the cup of the Holy Grail was exchanged here, and an alliance was formed.

Now the three apostles in Pandora, and the Crusades, and Nero the king of Neo Avalon, the thirteenth apostle.The same cross forces succeeded in unifying the will of the outnumbered.

With the establishment of a solid system of cooperation, the Crusades' Pandora invasion will accelerate even more rapidly -
