Let's Manage The Tower

(8) Preparation

"First, let me explain the coffin of this prost."

Viana started explaining with her gaze on her assistant.

Some of the priests beside him are temple chiefs and teething priests, but they don't seem to be in Biana's sight.

"This prosthotic coffin will manage the vampire soul after a ritual."

"Soul?!

All of a sudden, a terrible story popped up.

I thought it was God's job to manage the soul, but the Prost's coffin in front of me fulfilled that role.

After seeing how the examiner reacted, Schlein supplemented it.

"Don't get me wrong. This coffin itself does not control life and death by manipulating the soul."

"What do you mean?

"Remember the high elves. They existed only in souls. Kouchi summoned it, but it's impossible for the soul to remain in this world."

"That's right. Because there is a body, by nature, what remains in this world is a coffin that allows the soul alone to remain in this world."

"I don't know what reason the High Elves are staying with their souls, but we can exist in this world as souls because we have this coffin."

The two explanations nodded as if Kaiseki was convinced.

"I see. And I heard rumors about the Prost family."

The prost family does not exist with the flesh, but it does exist in the state of the soul due to the existence of this prost coffin.

If so, I can convince myself of the vague rumors of the Prost family.

It is not entirely gone, but it does not exist with the flesh, so it is difficult to say that it is alive.

This is why I came to the continent and searched for the prost family and found nothing at all.

"Is that it, or is that Shreyne?

When I realized something, I saw Schlein.

"That's right. I also performed the ritual and existed only in my soul. It was summoned by Mitsuki, and he regained his flesh."

That's what I'm talking about.

The explanation understands that this prosthotic coffin is very important to vampires.

"In past attacks on us, the Prost family bet on abandoning their flesh and surviving on their souls alone. That said, it cannot be done without someone in charge of the coffin and the temple itself, so we need someone to guard it."

The modern-day keeper is Biana in front of us.

Biana wasn't always watching.

After a certain number of years, the guardian is the one chosen from among the families who are the souls.

Those who became guardians for generations waited for the time to come while managing this place.

"That time is now."

If you look at Viana passionately looking at Kaiseki while saying that, you can also see what she wants to say.

"So you want me to do something."

"Half correct, half false"

"What do you mean?

"To be precise, I want you and those of you to help me."

With that said, Viana saw the peach.

"Am I...?"

"Yes"

Biana nodded loudly at the sudden nomination peach.

"What are you going to do?"

"I will explain in turn first, can I talk to < supreme you >?

"Ah, yes. Please ~"

Peach nodded lightly to confirm Viana.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

Once again, Viana returned to study aid and continued talking.

"I want you to create something."

I see you're here.

Shreyne nodded with a little excitement at Biana's words.

"Um... I'm interested in what you're going to create, but what's the big name? It's very interesting..."

Every time I've been called "supreme you", I feel like I can't say anything.

But Viana answered the question without seeing how she cared.

"He is one of the most important gods to us vampires."

"Heh...?

I felt stunned at the words I didn't think of.

It's true that Kaiseki is a god, but I don't remember being revered by vampires.

I accidentally saw Shreyne, but she shook her head.

"I'm sorry, but I don't know much about that either."

Shreyne shakes her head.

I was surprised that Viana called the exam assistant by that name, but I didn't think the exam assistant was the < supreme you >.

"I wonder if you can understand that with what you're going to create."

Biana said so to her clan, Shreyn.

Incidentally, for her of the Prost family, vampires have nothing to do with their true ancestors.

There is only a difference in pure power.

However, it has a side that determines the vertical relationship, but that is not all.

"Do you want me to create it?

"Yes, use this."

To check on Shreyne, Viana pulled a spherical object large in the palm of her hand out of her pocket.

"What's that?

"Ah...!

Seeing that, Shreyn tilted his neck, but now Kaiseki reacted.

As she watched, Biana nodded happily.

"It's a boulder. Did you understand what this was all about?"

Well, that was something I didn't know after looking into it.

"Kouske?"

Shreyne asked about the reaction as if she had known it beforehand.

"Don't you see? There's something similar about Shreyn's castle."

No way, is it a vamilinian jewel ~?

I noticed the peach first and tilted my neck.

Shreyne didn't notice because the vamilinian jewels looked a lot different.

"To be precise, did I mention the stage before I became a vamilinian jewel? More to the point, even if we do the same thing, it won't be a vamilinian jewel."

When Kaiseki examined the vamilinian jewellery before, there was something he could not understand.

That part fits exactly into the sphere that Viana has.

Of course, Viana doesn't have the vamilinian jewels themselves.

Even so, it's not the prosthetic jewelry itself.

What Viana has now is before she becomes a prosthetic jewel.

The jewel is handed over by the god of the mountains, the god of Clara, and for a long time the power is invested in the administrators, including Biana, to become who they are.

Biana also nodded at the words of the examiner.

"Exactly. I want you to use this to make jewelry for this temple."

"... to?

In words I never thought I would, the examiner accidentally made Kyotong.

I no longer doubt that this Temple of Alkis is made with the same reasoning as the Castle of Vamilia.

I know you want me to make something similar to the jewels of the Vamilinian Castle, but Viana wants me to make jewels of the Temple.

"I think there is something that is difficult to understand even if I explain it with my mouth, so I will tell you in a little way. Shreyne, was that you? I will perform the conveyance ritual, are you sure?

Shreyn nodded instantly when she heard that it was a gesture of transmission.

It is one of the rituals of contract passed on to vampires.

Naturally, I can understand the purpose.

"Of course not. I'd rather ask."

Now let's get started.

♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦♢♦

The conveyance ritual itself was soon over.

The point was that it was the conveyance ritual that allowed Viana to convey the knowledge she had to others.

Of course, both the knowledge giver and the receiver needed someone who knew the ritual one by one, but in this case, there was no particular problem because there was Shreyn.

The knowledge was also conveyed to the examiners to relay the Schlein.

Naturally, it's not the Sheikh and the priest who can't talk about it anymore.

The people who were given that knowledge roared at the same time as they were convinced.

The most confused thing was the peach I was asked to help.

"Are you sure you can do this?"

I said that to the end, but I was persuaded that it was absolutely necessary for the prost family.

Of course, I also added an exam aid.

As a result, Peach nodded reluctantly saying, "Don't complain even if you fail ~".
