The heart of a firebird.

This is the first time that Epio, the main character of "Rae Dae-yeon," will meet.

An ancient site that was discovered by surprise, the "Firebird Cemetery." The epio, which swallowed the legendary spirit that was in it, gained near-immune flame resistance and excellent flame property control.

At that time, the readers said that it was a convenience-based play, but at first, I did the same. This is because it is a development that is accepted as a cliche in a genre novel edition. However, after re-reading "Lae Dae-yeon" countless times later, the episode reminded me of some questions.

IDEN: All the ancient monuments that have been found so far are covered with automatic dolls, golem, and bloody traps, but there is nothing in the firebirds' graves. What kind of double-track is this? Or a setup error?

└ Black Flame: It sounds a bit weird. It's a novel that's very boring, but it's best to keep the probability in line with the plot.

Don't argue with that in the court, you flamboyant mules. Stop talking in the comments.

The ancient ruins of this worldview all boast tight security. The only exception to the original version was the Yeongmyo, which turned out to be Estriel's attack long before the original episode began.

In short, Epio in its original history did not suffer at all and only ate up its rewards.

There were so many big MacGuffins in the second half that I turned off my attention about the funeral of the Buddha, but now that I see it, it was not a setup error that was completely empty inside the monument.

A little while ago, Estriel said he found nothing at the very heart of the ruins, but this is not because of the butterfly effect from my whimpering. In fact, on the ceiling of the innermost part of Yeongmyo, there is a secret door that has been magically sealed, and the heart of the firebird is hidden inside it. The main character, Epio, found the secret place with advice from Ego Sod Plevelziam.

I swept my heart. This is because I remembered the time when I was thinking about what kind of spiritual medicine to get right after the ice.

If he was greedy for the heart of a firebird and pushed his foot inside the tomb, he would have died without knowing anything.

[Performance Point + 100]

A message pops up belatedly.

He was given ten times as many points as he did when he recalled no.981, a purple spy related to Linia.

Of course, McGoffin, which is closely related to the main story of the worldview, seems to give more achievement points when retrieving it.

I'm getting more and more curious about why Estriel wanted the heart of a firebird.

I asked him.

" "·· But why did you go through the ruins to get that spirit? I don't think Spiro's going to move for money."

"Haha, after only three weeks together, you sound like you know me well, don't you?"

"Well, that's-··"

"I didn't mean to scold you. I would rather praise him for his good observation. Because it's true that I'm not very interested in money."

"Then why?"

Estriel's eyes were deeply sunken. There was still a smile around his mouth, but it didn't seem to smile.

"The teacher who introduced me to Al-Sigma is seriously ill and lying on my bed. Members of Congress say that if you get a huge pot of fire and feed them, they might see a way. But, well, the ruins ended up in vain, so it seems like a thousand of his men have done it. As a believer in the circulatory god, there's no other way but to accept the order."

Estriel's teacher is an old man named Pantilis Monell. By the time of the main book, he was already deceased and an archbishop of the Circular Church during his lifetime.

What matters is his political position and popularity in the prosperous country.

Many churches in the Holy Kingdom have not properly supported the war against the Schnifeld family, the final boss force in Part II, for many reasons. One of the most representative problems among them was the absence of centripetal figures to unite the powers of various churches.

If we can save Pantilis, we can solve the problem easily, and it will return to immeasurable gains in the future.

However, if he has to use enormous spirituality like the heart of a firebird to save him, the story is a little different. To put it coldly, it doesn't pay.

but

What if there was a means to save him without the heart of the firebird?

"It's a disease in need of a firearm-infested spirit. Do you happen to see any symptoms of paralysis of your entire body? There's a little bit of negative energy leaking out of the body."

"How do you know that?”

Estriel opened his eyes wide, genuinely surprised.

know every bit by bit

There is one thing I am sure of after hearing the symptoms. The official name of the disease that Pantilis is now suffering from is clearly Bahamutiria.

And this is a disease that becomes a key keyword for the second part of the regiment.

Bahamutiria is a disease that does not occur naturally. To be exact, it is more like a curse than a disease. It is a disease that results from a curse order that can only be used by some high-ranking priests in the Yongma Church and those who commit all kinds of evil acts throughout the first or second parts of the original novel.

In other words, Pantilis was assassinated by the Yongma Church. This is because it was filmed as a hindrance to the future events of the Yongma Order.

"I've seen someone who has the same disease as my teacher, or my ancestor. When I heard that there might be a cure for a fire-weapon."

"It's a disease that even famous names in the Holy Kingdom and the Wiblé Empire have never seen before. You're saying you know that?”

Estriel's face revealed his bewildered feelings. I can't question him.

"That's not what matters now. I can cure that disease. Ingredients are rare, but you can make a cure if you decide. "It is a medicine that can be made based on seven kinds of polar medicinal herbs, including solar plants. First, get the tail of the Lizardman and the meteorite ··"""

“·········!”

Bahamutiria is a disease with a very long incubation period. And since the symptoms are already near the end of the year, even if a Pope-level priest orders for them, they will only stop worsening and cannot be completely cured.

However, the existence of the curse and disease is widely known to the public by the second part of the original film. After seeing this, alchemists at the library of Alphanium took samples of patients with Bahamuteria, and eventually succeeded in developing a cure. Of course, I am memorizing the recipe for the treatment mentioned in the set-up book.

Estriel, who was just listening to me with a blank expression, suddenly came to his senses. And I began to memorize hard the recipe for the Bahamutrian cure, which came out of my mouth one after another.

Estriel, like a first-rate assassin, has considerable knowledge of self-taught and herbalism. I'm sure you've just noticed that the manufacturing I'm talking about isn't completely out of the question.

Soon, his expression hardened, and he warned me.

" "··If you're playing a prank, you can't just let it go, no matter how much you're a member of the Alsigma Yupa. You know that, Iden, don't you?

"It's a matter of the life of the Savior. Do you think I'm the kind of guy who's going to play with that way?”

“·········”

Estriel looked at me with disgust.

So many seconds later.

"My heart beats, my pupils shaking, my facial expression, and surprisingly, everything is fine. I guess you're not lying."

"How can you tell the truth from the lie when you're just looking at it? Are the assassins of the Circular Church all learning such tricks?”

"No way. Even I'm not very accurate unless I'm watching closely.”

Before long, Estriel took something out of his arms. It is a pendant with expensive-looking silver jewelry.

"This is in return for teaching us how to make the cure. Take it."

"What is this?"

"Fortune Wheel Amulet, a jewel of our church's importance. It's the most valuable item I've ever had.”

???

No, you crazy?

I was surprised at heart when I tried to appraise it.

As you can see from its rating, it's not just a priceless ornament, but a "sacred thing" of the circular church. A holy object is an instrument containing the power of God worshipped in each church, and it is regarded as sacred. Only the core members of the church, such as Estriel, are allowed to take them out separately.

If you sell it on the black market, you will receive national money during the transaction process, and if you donate it to the branch of the Circular Church, you will do whatever you want. Unless it's really ridiculous, like the assassination of the emperor.

There was a setting that the church members would entrust their sacred objects to their opponents in indescribable grace, but it was literally a setup and never appeared in the main episode.

I asked with a puzzled air.

"I'm not sure there's really any improvement, is it okay to give you something valuable like this?"

"I met the owner of the reflux in Gongguk, where I came to get the cure, and it turned out that he even had a clue to treat his teacher's illness." Can't you feel a strange connection? I think this meeting was led by the circulatory god.”

"Then Estriel, who had said so, looked beyond the fence with a determined look, and soon his expression was lifted, and said to me,

"Oh, to tell you one thing, the name Spiro is actually an alias. I'll let you know the real name when we meet again later. See you then."

Pod!

Like when he appeared here, he disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.

Only Amulet, a hand-held mouse, was proving that he was here a little while ago.

3.

The day after winning the duel against Julio, the second Confucius appeared in the mistresses.

Iden, as usual in the last four months, has performed physical fitness and mastered the test of his stroke repeatedly.

"You may well be excited to win your first duel, but you are not negligent in discipline. The second Confucius of the stroke is an example of a warrior!"

"That's what I'm saying."

The aristocrats and some knights who had not yet left the state of the country were excited to see such a scene. As such, Eden's external reputation had completely reversed itself over the past night.

Since then, Eden has been focusing on training down the hill for hours without turning a blind eye. When it was dusk, Linia, a full-time maid, approached him.

"Your Highness has told you to take part in this evening'sir.

"It's annoying. Can't we eat alone again today?"

"Hoeun,·밥밥Bob? What does that mean? Anyway, Your Highness has told me that I must attend the meal today. Above all, Sir Evell Stroke and Duke of Eutland will be present. "

"Well, then I can't help it."

Here's what's coming.

That's what Eiden thought.

Given that his uncle, Evel, was present, the Grand Duke seemed to be thinking of bringing up an agenda on the Liperta border from the table.

But there was no need to be too nervous. Now that Eiden himself has won brilliantly against Julio, the Grand Duke has no justification to demote him.

"So you haven't seen Litten's face since yesterday's duel. I wonder what he's looking like by now."

Smiling, he put down his wooden sword and left the smoker.
