Let's Manage The Tower
(2) Holy cloth
After the ceremony, the examiners did not go straight on the journey, but returned to the northern city.
In the first place, this conversation arose out of the desire of Kaiseki to travel.
Divinization is only exceptional.
Sylvia and the others turned to Jito when they considered the claim that...
Regardless, as a study aid, it was painful to travel around the continent just to perform rituals, and it was likely to be troublesome even if it did not go so far.
That's why I wanted to cherish the spirit of having fun as a trip.
So, first of all, we took time for sightseeing in the northern city based on the idea that it was important at first.
However, no one actively objected to the suggestion of the examiner, so somehow the female team is looking forward to traveling with the examiner.
The scholars who returned to the city were walking lazily looking inside the city.
"Hmm, just because it's north doesn't mean there's anything distinctive about it."
It was Shreyne who leaked her thoughts when she saw the city.
The northern city is characterized by the large ports used to trade with the northern continent, but vice versa.
Ports of the same size are located in the southwest and east.
However, the size of the ports in those four cities is considerable, as they cover much of the trade with other continents.
The impression Shreyne leaked does not refer to scale in the sense of a port town that is likely to be everywhere.
It was Sylvia who shook her head and objected that she had secured the next door to Kaiseki.
By the way, Nana is walking on the other side.
"That's not true. The Northern Continent is still heavily influenced, and the priests often walk there."
"... mmm. Is that so?
It was Florian who responded to Silvia's words.
I began to look everywhere to see my surroundings.
It is a well-known fact that the northern city is strongly influenced by the Northern Continent.
Its most characteristic sight is probably the priests that flow from the North Continent, as Sylvia has just pointed out.
The Northern Continent is said to be the most devoted of the five continents in Earth Gard.
Looking around, Florian found, as Sylvia said, that there were many priests walking.
However, Florians, who are not experts, cannot be distinguished as to whether they are from the North.
What Florian found out is that there are a little more priests than in other cities.
"Sure the priests are walking, but are they from the North?
"Yes, look at the sacred cloth."
The sacred cloth is a decorative cloth wrapped like a tusky on a robe worn by a priest or witch.
Sylvia is right, even the sacred cloth makes it possible to know which gods the clergyman believes in and where he belongs.
Among priests, sacred cloth can also serve as an identity card.
However, it is difficult to tell from the details of where the temple originated that it never belonged.
Otherwise, we know from which continent, at best.
Of course, the three temples of Mixen also give each sacred cloth to their priests.
Sylvia, of course, is also wearing a sacred cloth on the robe.
After confirming that, Floria turned again to the sacred cloth of the priest walking around the city.
"Hmm. I know there's a difference in color, but isn't that how you identify it?
Sylvia nodded back to Floria, who told her to be sure.
"Yeah, I just like the color. There are other things that matter."
It was Shreyne who noticed the words of Sylvia.
I see. Is it sacred?
"Exactly."
Sacred characters are named after characters, but they often refer to patterns.
Many are as depicted on walls such as shrines.
Each of the patterns has no meaning, but when they are combined, meaning emerges.
In addition, it is said that it was used in documents given to people by the gods a long time ago.
Sylvia saw many of the priests walking around the city decorating the sacred cloth with the inscription engraved in the temple on the northern continent.
"... that's why I think it's hard to tell without properly knowing the pattern itself."
After hearing Sylvia's explanation, Floria and Shreyne nodded.
"enough"
"I've never even learned how to write sacred characters, so I don't know."
Shreyne and Florian were convinced, and now Kaisuke, who had been listening silently until then, questioned.
"I know that the sacred cloth indicates the priesthood, but what about Sylvia's?
Sylvia does not belong to any temple.
If you dare to mention it, it belongs to the temple on the fifth floor of the Amamiya Tower or to the Lily Shrine, but I have never heard of a pattern that indicates belonging.
I had never been consulted by Sylvia, so I didn't even know there was such a thing in the first place.
Sylvia answered the question with a smile.
"The sacred cloth I am wearing now is something that an unaccompanied clergyman can wear. It doesn't say where you belong."
"That's right.... do you need it?
Speaking of which, now is the time, but I can't ignore it until I know that there are such things.
That's what I heard from Sylvia, but he shook his head to the side.
"I'm not saying I don't need it, but I don't think I need to make a hasty decision. If you decide, I think you should talk to Ellis properly."
"Oh, yeah."
"Yes, the pattern of belonging is not for each god, but it can be complicated if you wear it."
I see.
The scriptures worn by the clergy are merely a diversion of what remains of the temple and books.
Sylvia doesn't know what the law is because she only uses what the gods teach her.
For that reason, Sylvia's words were that if you really wanted to make a decision, it was better to check it thoroughly.

While eating and buying at the street stalls lined up along the way, the cadets entered the Crown branch in the northern city.
The Crown branch of the town with the transfer gate has the necessary requests in each town.
It would be more convenient to divide each town in order to manage the request rather than using the transfer gate to get into the tower.
In addition, there are adventurers who settle in their respective towns.
Even when there was only headquarters, now that we have roots all over the continent, we have to think about the whole thing.
Therefore, if you want to know the situation around the town, it is best to look at the bulletin boards of each branch.
Aside from accepting or not accepting requests, it is essential to check the information about the monsters around you to travel.
The examiners checked the crusade request posted on the bulletin board and checked the current situation around the northern city.
