"Damn... what the hell is going on"

Garnett, who remained silent during his conversation with the Duke, opens his mouth to throw up.

I feel the same way about honesty.

Even though it was surprising that the Alphazur had just given his name to the Wang Chengwan Temple in the name of an alias Wise Man (Weissman), the problem did not remain just that.

It is impossible to predict in advance that the land where the Wise Man is believed included the Duke of Kingswell, and that the Millennial Corridor of Naruto was said to be a deep dungeon involving the Wise Man.

Of course, there is no possibility that neither of the names is related solely to the wise (Weissman).

But it's not like I can't afford it now enough to escape such optimism.

"If it's true, you can't ignore it, but at least there's nothing you can do about it as it stands. It's not going to be something we can find out, and how do we find out?"

"... well, you will. Forget it when you're in trouble. How dare you?"

The current situation is only at the 'new facts have been found' stage.

It doesn't change anything immediately, it doesn't make it a push to change anything.

Anyway, I'm going to have to carve this new information into my memory and do what I can now in order -

"Excuse me, Master Luke."

With that in mind, one of the Duke's escorts approached me.

"The Duke wants you to have this one. Please accept."

"... what is it?

It's like a folded piece of paper.

Spread it out, it contained a short message and the signature of the Duke of Kingswell, as well as a small seal.

"I ask His Holiness the Temple... these men have been granted permission to worship Iris Crystal...?

"It is said to be one of the treasures of the kingdom, rested in the North Hall of the Wangduwan Temple"

"Is it the North Hall? It's like there was only a west and east annex in the guide diagram."

"It is not open to the public as it combines the treasure trove of the Pantheon with the residence of the clergy"

Next to me, who hasn't come with a pin, I raise my voice in a way that Garnett is surprised.

"Iris Crystal, are you kidding me!? I've only heard about it, but if it's normal, it's a limited release once a year..."

"Yes, Master Luke went out of his way to visit the King's Capital, so please take this opportunity to see it."

"Seriously, I've got enough on my chubby. You mean the Duke."

As far as Garnett's reaction is concerned, Iris Crystal even has an extremely rare opportunity to visit, and it's not normal to be able to accommodate that opportunity with one note.

If it was just an explanation of the escort, it was eyebrow spit, but if Garnett says so, I guess so.

Because he's not the kind of guy who makes big representations in this situation.

Now it's time for the Duke and his escorts to walk away from the West Hall before dropping their eyes again on a note with a message.

"The treasure of the kingdom... I wonder if I should go and see it."

"That's right! We still have time today, let's go."

Garnett also had no reason not to go if he was willing to ride.

I was originally planning to spend the rest of the day sightseeing in Wang Du.

Opportunity to watch precious substitutes even called treasures. It would be worth just dedicating precious time.

Therefore, we shall first travel to the North Hall of the Temple of Ban.

Unlike the West Hall and East Hall, which are directly connected to the main building, the building in the North Hall is only a short distance from the main building and connected by a roofed communication corridor.

As we tried to get into that contact passage, a knight on guard stopped us.

"Stop, those two. We're off-limits from here on out."

"I got an introduction from the Duke of Kingswell,"

"Mm?... that other one again? Wait a minute."

Showing the note given to him by the Duke's escort, the watchman frowned with a troubled face.

And the Horseman on the lookout kept us waiting in front of the aisle door, called for a replacement lookout, and then opened the door to the contact passage.

"I'll lead the way. Don't step into an unauthorized place."

"Yeah, I know."

Speak with Garnett in a whisper as he walks down the contact aisle at the head of the Knight on Watch.

"Is security done by the knight? I'm talking about knights being sent to local temples that can't afford human and financial resources, but I think I can handle it on my own here."

"This Temple of Heaven is special in many ways. I hear the Knights were loud enough to let them protect us."

To varying degrees, the temple gathers donations from the faithful and ancient divine treasures.

Naturally, there are also undelivered people in the world who target such property and treasures.

Of course I hear that there were even people who tried to steal from the temple of a god they were supposed to believe in, targeting a different temple from the god they believed in, or going into stealing with the intent of an attack because they had long been in hostilities.

Of course, the temple side is not helpless, and by being creative with this, it is the current situation that prevents theft.

It is the lowest cost for a person working in a temple to be able to cope with it with their skills, hiring adventurers and other personnel if they can afford the funds.

And where neither is likely to be possible, a battle force is to be dispatched by specialist knights.

Do you mean the King's Temple is an exception?

"Just like I've just seen. Besides, the treasures stored ahead of us are all substitutes for no more than two on the continent. Just in case something happens, it's the humans who want to protect you."

Even in the short time we passed through the communication corridor, we had slipped away from a large number of knights.

If you look out the aisle window, you can see that even the courtyard is heavily guarded.

Iris Crystal, the treasure of the King's capital stored in such a building - now expectations have risen.

By and large, there's no way an adventurer would show any interest in what a treasure it is.

Unknown. Precious. A treasure. A legend.

Adventurers are mostly attracted to stuff like this, and I was no exception.

"Huh? You're getting excited too."

"You bet. He wouldn't be an adventurer if he wasn't interested in it."

You too, which means Garnett can't help but get interested.

Eventually he passes through the communication corridor and takes the tightly guarded North Hall to the back with the knight's lead, stopping in front of the biggest door on the ground floor.

"This is Iris Crystal's morgue. Don't try to touch me if I make a mistake. Security knights, including me, are allowed to kill at their discretion."

The knight gave his advice with a genuine expression and voice before pushing open a large door.
