Master of the brave.

It was Leticia who returned it to me first.

Follow Reynard, who disappeared behind the door, into the temple.

Inside there was just a small altar and a few candlesticks to light the lights.

"Letty! Where's Reynard?

Watching what was going on inside, the Wins came too.

Leticia fingers the floor silently.

At the tip of that finger is a raggedly rolled up cloth. It must have been for sitting at the altar in prayer. But that cloth seemed to have another hidden role.

A door down to the basement made of wood.

"I think I went downstairs from here"

"Downstairs?

Peeping in, the loosely curved staircase seemed to continue down, a damp cold breeze stroking Winn's face.

"Are you going through the ocean?

You can also hear waves like twitches.

"Liara. Do you know what's going on in here?

"No, it seems that after we defeated Sarah, the knights of this country tried to conduct an investigation, but they were prevented from entering the temple by the junction."

Riara seems to be more conscious on the altar than on the stairs leading down to the basement.

He examines the statue of the altar god, which has been abandoned for a long time and has been completely dusty.

"Didn't you get me to look into it before Tiara tied the line here?

"The junction that was strained here was because Sarah strained it with the power of God of Destruction. The God of Destruction is the equivalent of the Anastasian God. And Sarah Ferrule didn't get to disarm her very well."

When Liara said so, she offered a brief prayer to the statue of the god who had paid off the dust.

"Sounds like a place made in a long time and... a long time and old times. When I visited the land, I heard the old story of this temple. Lyon, the king's capital, once said it was a temple that had been guarded as a lighthouse since it was still a small fishing village. At that time, I thought that the God worshipped in this temple was the God of the sea...... Apparently this place is dedicated to Noale, the God of Destruction. There must have been a God of Destruction in this land for a long time."

"So Sarah lived here because she knew that?

"Few people in modern times believe in God of Destruction. Because in the Great Temple of Emmerdia, the God of Destruction faith is considered to be an evil man. Because because of the loss of the right knowledge of God of Destruction, those who are newly believing were only those who find all their value in the destruction under God of Destruction. But it seems that those who built this temple were still familiar with regeneration from destruction, which is the essence of the God of destruction. Even so, as I said earlier, it seems a long time ago. Maybe older than the days of the ancient Lentheim kingdom"

The ancient kingdom of Lentheim is the name of a superpower that dominated the entire Alfana continent and perished five hundred years ago.

That country, which still leaves ruins all over the world, is believed to have created a variety of powerful magic monuments and to have made a long history spanning more than a thousand years.

Before the time of the ancient kingdom of Lentheim, the temple was built thousands of years ago and is also a precious site.

There is no record of what happened before the Kingdom of Lentheim was born.

It is said that it is because the Kingdom of Lentheim has destroyed all other civilizations in the process of unifying the continent.

Everything, not just the books, but the buildings.

For this reason, when it comes to the things of an era older than the Lentheim kingdom period, it means that for those who live in the modern age it is equivalent to the substitutes of the mythical age.

"Sure. This staircase looks old too."

Hitting the stone on the stairs with the stone bump of Halvard, Mito said, Leticia, who was touching the stone wall beside it, also nodded.

"The legacy of the Konrat completed by Sarah. And more ancient ruins than Lentheim. I don't know what it is, but I'm pretty sure it's not something that looks good in Reynard's hands."

"I feel better hurry"

Riara says in response to Leticia's words.

"The God of Destruction is a God who exchanges pairs with Anastasia, the God of Genesis. Its power is not the ratio of the Demon King. If the God of Destruction had come... it would be beyond man's control. Even Letty..."

"Sourcing the lights"

To Liara's words darkening the rush color, Wynn says, peeking into the back of the stairs.

"I can feel the wind, so I don't see any bad air buildup. It should be okay to light the fire."

"There's just a good candlestick here. Looks like wax is still available. Let me disrespect you."

Mito gave one of the candlesticks to Wynn. Fueled wax was apparently left in the corner of the altar.

Was the wax wrapped in something like oil paper what Sarah was using? Seemed like enough stuff to use yet.

"Magic lights are good, but I've never been cautious."

Light the candlestick and the flames will go out if you go where the bad air is accumulating.

Winn lights the wax when he casts a small spell.

A win that only has a much smaller amount of magic than an ordinary person, but the extent to which it lights a small flame on your fingertips can be used.

Then Leticia and Liara lit the candlestick, respectively, with a magical "light".

"Um... what shall I do?

Wynn, preparing to enter the cellar, is reluctantly asked by Seri, who was peering through the entrance to the temple.

"Mr. Seri is dangerous, so it's better to be back..."

"No, more than that, Mr. Seri has a favor to ask."

Liara, who blocked Winn's words, spoke to Seri.

"I saw the dragon earlier and thought. That demon conductor doesn't know what he's going to do. The dragon's braces must have been seen not only by the temple people, but also in the town at the foot and in Lyon. I hope Seli can explain to the temple people what is happening and then evacuate the town at the foot to Lyon with them."

Some light spheres were emitted by Leticia.

In the foothill towns and Lyons, where the circumstances are certainly unclear, there may have been a great disturbance.

"I hope I can tell Raul about this..."

Leticia cares about the idea.

I just don't know Raul and Seli.

It is difficult for Seli to meet Raul, the king's prince.

"There are also officials in the town at the foot. I think if you tell that person that the Temple is a message from me and Letty, it will be passed on to Raul."

Then I'll go with Seri.

With that said, Leeds Belt lifted the sword that he had put into his hips sheath.

"If that demon leader is the summoner of the demon clan that destroyed the inside, he is everyone's enemy to me... according to the words of the dragon at this time earlier, he smelled like there was still a mastermind. And there may be survivors of the group he was carrying."

Winn nodded at Leesbelt's words.

If he's with us who can use magic and has a lot of experience in action, he can be relieved.

"Oh, I..."

One remaining, Abel, was alternating between the Wins and Celli and Leesbelt.

"I... I honestly don't know what's going on right now"

Stared at together, Abel says, as he wandered off.

"As an adventurer, I'm also interested in something called the ruins of old times. But I'm an adventurer hired as an escort for Mr. Seri and Mr. Liesbert. The truth is, I think it's really muscle to escort the Seli's. But..."

Whether to say it or not, Winn's eyes seemed to have Abel lost.

"Abel, if you have any opinions, don't hesitate to say so. I don't know what adventures you've had since then, but I do know Abel is an adventurer who survived the tragedy that happened in Torque Village."

The tragedy in the village of Torque is an abominable case of the loss of life of a benefactor who took good care of him: Celi, who lost all his parents and those close to him, and Winn and Leticia, also Riggs.

An incident in which the Knights of the Kingdom of Petersia disguised themselves as bandits and raided the village of Torque, the home of Seri.

I thought it was just a bunch of bandits, and a bunch of adventurers with Riggs as their leader who went out for that devastation followed the path of total annihilation. Abel was able to survive because Riggs assigned him a messenger to tell Shimlug about the emergency.

At that time, Riggs, who decided to intercept the Knights of Petersia in the village of Torque, tried to make time for the people of the village to just get away with risking their own lives.

I can't ignore Abel's opinion of seeing those Riggs' readiness so close, and experiencing the worst: total annihilation. Winn thinks so.

Even as Winn pushed her back, Abel opened her mouth feeling unsure.

"I know that I have a side to play on. Because my father, mother, and brother often tell me. So this could be wrong. I just want to dive because there are ruins. I want to try sticking my neck in because I have a big case. There's more and more antagonism against Winn that goes before me. Perhaps those impure motives underlie it. But... but I thought I should see what the magician was up to, too."

When Abel said so, she looked around at the same face.

"I have no idea what that demon conductor is up to, but Dear Liara, I'm sure there's something big going on because of what Winn has to do with being an Imperial Knight. Plus, I somehow feel like this isn't the end of things. Me and Mr. Liesbert, Mr. Seri. We're going to see Lord Tiara. At that time, it would be better if someone could actually look at what is happening and tell them. That's what I thought..."

The last one had a voice that was about to disappear.

As Abel herself put it, there must also be a mix of heroic aspirations, and confrontation with Wynn. That's what I understand very well, and I'm anxious to know if I'm right.

"I saw Letty's power. I regret it, but even Winn's sword arm is far above mine. Mito, too. So I know it will be a clump of hands. But if what I say makes sense, I want you to help me chase him too."

Winn saw Leticia and Liara.

"Right...... We may also need someone who can explain the situation in detail to Tiara..."

"What do you think of your brother?

The Winns' mission is a highly classified one that only some people are informed about.

Konrat Heisenberg's legacy is such a dangerous substitute.

Is it a good thing to involve Abel, a one-time adventurer there?

But, as Riara admitted, if you find yourself in a situation where Tiara is the 'Great Sage', it's certainly convenient to have someone who can deliver accurate information to her.

"Abel, the incidents we're involved in are kept confidential for the Empire and the Kingdom. Besides, you saw the dragon earlier. The other Mage is a power that can summon such things. In Shimrug, the Imperial capital, it's a dangerous opponent who's killing a lot of people, including knights."

There is a danger awaiting us that we cannot guarantee our lives. If Abel is really prepared for that, Winn will forgive his company. That's what I said...

"Wynn. Are you making fun of me?

Abel raised her voice of anger against Winn.

"I'm an adventurer. As an adventurer, I don't disclose information I know about my work. Besides, it is well known that you are in danger of losing your life. I don't want to die. But the dangerous thing is, Winn's with Letty, right? I don't want to be the only one running forever."

"Right. Then, Abel. I need your help, too. We're going after him. I don't know what he'll do with Konrat's legacy, but I want you to tell Tiara exactly what you saw."

"Oh, I got it."

"Apparently, we have a deal."

Seeing Abel snorted hard at Winn's words, Mito also gave Abel a candlestick lit with a magical "light".

Not for you.

"Oh, oh."

Abel grips the candlestick tightly. The candlestick you receive looks magical, as if it were an important treasure or something.

Abel was assigned a messenger role by leader Riggs to Shimlug, the Imperial capital, when the village of Torque was raided.

Heavily armed Knights, battle-trained. On top of that, more than a few times the power difference.

There was no way to beat the adventurers trying to make time for the villagers to escape.

Waiting is absolute death.

The preaching role given to Abel is to let Abel escape, still a young immature adventurer.

At that time, Abel did not want to escape, but ate and hung up on Riggs. I stayed in the village and fought.

To reprimand that Abel statement, Riggs scolded it as merely a heroic aspiration out of his infancy and immaturity, and did not allow Abel to fight in the village.

But not this time.

Abel found a reason to fight for herself, and that was recognized by the Winns as well.

I don't want to admit it, but it's on that win, which has also been at a glance from the adult adventurers around me since I was a kid.

If I say I don't regret it, I lie. But more than that, it was a pleasure to be recognized by Winn as a single adventurer in Abel.
