Let's Manage The Tower

(6) Second ritual

Pilgrims who had passed through several towns and villages from the northern city arrived safely in the town of Lüssen.

Zent's pilgrims will continue to aim for Mixen, but they will say goodbye here.

Sometimes the schedule with the pilgrims doesn't suit me, but above all, there are things I do here.

One of the purposes of the journey is to perform rituals outside the town of Lüssen, just like in the north.

I don't know about such circumstances, but I did not hesitate to say goodbye to the examiner.

"I'm sorry to say goodbye here."

Sometimes the A-rank adventurer won't be able to escort me, but I found out from the bottom of my heart that he thinks so.

That is why I also nodded honestly and replied.

"Yes, thank you."

"What? That's our dialogue. I'm sure I owe it to you to be safe."

I said that with a smile, but I know that the exam is a bit flattering.

For Zent, the journey remains the same as usual.

The students were A-ranked adventurers and were able to come here without accidents, but that was not the case before.

Nevertheless, I'm honestly glad that you rated me, no matter what your compliments are.

"If you say so, I was worthy of your request."

With a smile, Zent replied briefly, "I see."

It is always the case for Zent that the request ends and farewell comes.

Only the last handshake allowed Kaiseki to finish breaking up with Zent.

After spending the night in the town of Lüssen, the examiners left the town the next day.

The purpose is, of course, to perform a second ritual.

The total number of rituals performed in the Divinity is six places seven times.

Orientatively, the Holy Demon Tower and the Four Attribute Tower are important, but the place itself is not.

Because if you want to perform the ritual in a firm place, you have to perform the ritual on the sea to encompass the entire continent.

Therefore, instead of performing rituals on the sea, the position is adjusted automatically by aligning only the direction.

As in the northern city, it is Kaosuke, Kouchi and Mitsuki's role to prepare the ritual, and other members are alert to the surroundings.

With the second ceremony, I was able to complete the preparation of the examination in less than the first time.

Once he looked around the magical team, he nodded satisfactorily before turning his gaze to Shreyne and the others.

Well then, Wanli, please.

Ah, yes.

Wanli, who had been on guard with Shreyn and the others, rushed in with the words of Kaiseki.

Wanli was not on his way from the northern city to the town of Lüssen, but when he arrived in Lüssen he came back to the tower and called.

Of course there is a reason for that.

"Well then, hang a hook on the decorative table there... yes, that's right."

As instructed by the examiner, I put it on a decorative table that was made to be hung with a hook that Wanli was wearing.

The place where the polka dots were placed is exactly the same place where Nana was in the northern city.

If you look at it, you can see that this time the hookup plays a role in place of Nana.

"What the hell is that for?

"It seems to be putting iconic objects in the creation of a shrine."

Silvia answered when Florian, who was watching, heard the question.

While escorting the pilgrim corps, Sylvia was listening to the auxiliary.

Of course, the girlfriend and other pilgrims who were in the carriage with him didn't know.

Shreyn nodded convincingly after hearing Sylvia's explanation.

"A symbol... I see. Can you predict the other four?"

"Yes, I don't think so."

Regardless of the theology, Schlein is also familiar with these contract rituals.

Surely Schlein doesn't know about rituals that sanctify the entire continent, but with hints, it is possible to predict to some extent.

Floria leaned her neck towards Shreyn and Silvia, both nodding together.

"Really?

"Hmm. It's just a prediction, and I don't know the order at all."

"That's right. Besides, shouldn't Floria be looking forward to what's coming?

"Well, if they say so, maybe so."

Floria was convinced by the suggestion that it would be better to think for herself than to ask someone from the beginning.

It will be a long journey around the continent.

I thought it would be good to have that much fun.

Incidentally, Schlein and Sylvia are not completely aware of it, so the same way of enjoying it may remain.

While the field was booming, Kaiseki instructed Wanri to go outside the team and began the ceremony.

I just changed what I put away from Nana to a hook, and what I did is not different from the last time.

When Kaiseki finished his congratulations, the magic team went up in the same way.

As before, the magic team that went up to the invisible sky was actually not going straight up, but towards the sea.

This is what the magic team is coordinating to get to the right place, but no one is watching it properly.

The person who is performing the ceremony (assistant examiner) is also thinking that it will probably be okay, and it is not actually confirmed with the eyes.

It is only natural that we should finally know whether it worked or not at the last ceremony.

In the meantime, Kaiseki made sure that the ceremony was over and moved to Schlein and the others.

After the ceremony, the examiners decided not to leave immediately... but to deal with the monsters they had lured in during the escort request.

Not all monsters have been defeated, but a certain number have been collected in the item box.

After the journey, processing at the management level will be a huge number, so I will finish what I have done in the meantime.

I decided to spend the rest of the day collecting monsters' materials.

"Hmm, there's still a lot of stuff."

Shreyne sighed at the carcasses of monsters coming out of the item box one after the other.

"That's right. Even though I was going to select this carefully to some extent."

"After all, should we deal with it on the spot, rather than stacking it up?

After confirming Sylvia, he also nodded.

"I asked for an escort, so I tried to get out of there quickly, but did it fail?

"But you don't need all the materials, do you? I'm glad to hear about the escort request."

He nodded that both Shreyne and Sylvia would agree to follow Florian.

Everyone thinks it wasn't a mistake to prioritize pilgrims over getting monster materials.

Regardless of how the monsters attacked were dealt with, all the monsters could be dealt with by that day.

Originally, if we had collected so much monster material, it wouldn't have been strange if other monsters had gathered in the meantime, but we could have collected it without ever being attacked.

One of the reasons for this is that Nana was seeing things around her.

Anyway, the scholars, who had finished their work without any trouble, returned together to the town of Lüssen.
