Reborn Ishl and the Magic Fixture of God

"Federica"

And Ishur spake out loud, and commanded the spirits of the wind, that they might hear.

"Put up a barrier of wind around you, so that no sound leaks out there."

I also ordered the Summon Spirit of Earth.

"Urura, watch your surroundings." If anyone tries to eavesdrop, catch them. "

At Mira's request, she first entered the holy city and listened to Lucia, who was gathering information, but she rarely offered to completely cover the roses.

……

Someone's, little breath.

There was a slight magic book around the room, and I felt that the lighting in the room was slightly darkened by my mind.

The tense air adds to the tranquility.

It's fine.

Ishur said somewhat in a low voice.

As soon as Lucia entered the rose room, Mira's twin brothers, Rufizzo and Romeo, all came out. And when they had heard in the royal palace that Ishur, with Salomon, had obtained the fittings of water, they returned to the mansion after the day's service.

In addition to Lucia, Rufizzo and the others were wary of the conversation leaking outside, and asked Ishur to block it out of the room with the magic of the wind.

... Salomon said that, but I wonder if the Holy City is nervous.

Ishur heard them and ordered Federica and Urulla not to let the indoor sounds leak outside and to be particularly vigilant about the surroundings.

Um, let's get started.

With Rufizzo's voice, everyone among the roses turned to Lucia.

Those present were Ishur, Mira, Sharka, Rifia, Nina, Reni, Rufizzio and Romeo. Nine people, including Lucia, and Romeo and the other servants were resting in separate rooms and were not present.

Got it.

Lucia bowed deeply to Rufizzo, and began to chat happily.

"Osuji is under the command of the Archduke of Solaire and has heard from the Baraldi Chamber of Commerce, so for now, I would like to explain from the current situation in the Holy City."

And Lucia cut off the words, and looked round about, and Ishur and Mira.

"... even though there are still many factional operations in the capital (Miyako), it seems that a rough agreement was reached between Salomon and Ulturo around the Harvest Festival."

When Ishur's gaze met that of Lucia, he nodded one by one, hoping that she would continue.

Actually, I heard it from Nizza, not Collano, but anyway, it's better to hear it from as many people as possible. It will certainly help us to know the situation more accurately, including our conversation with Salomon during the day.

"I haven't told Mira and the others the details of what I talked to Salomon about at noon..."

For a moment, Ishur stared at Rufizzo and Romeo, who were sitting opposite each other with their desks crossed.

Both of them had a flashy face in front of Salomon, but now they have a much more difficult face than usual.

After Lucia makes her report, we'll hear from them.

It seemed necessary for the three of them to listen carefully to what they were going to say, even if it overlapped with what they had already heard.

"The two of you walked in, so it may be that the disturbance has passed through the mountains, but in fact, there are still a lot of troublesome problems."

According to Lucia, the fifty or so forbidden books left by Bionat were distributed individually in the house of the king and the cathedral church, and it was decided to own them in two. In addition, both parties decided to make a copy of the book that they gave to the other party and hold it together with the original. In other words, there were two sets of the previous king's forbidden books.

If all of these collections were to be called "forbidden books", no other manuscripts would be produced. Now the rare and dangerous books Bionat bequeathed to him will not go out, nor will the face of the house of the king and the church be crushed.

What is distribution?

... I've never heard of that before. Did Salomon refer to the fact that he said during the day, "It looks like we have a good story to tell"? But the division of the ban was a good one.

Even so, I'm still struggling with it.

And before Lucia could answer, Rufizzo interrupted.

He has a steeper, bitter face.

"Um... I mean, who owns which books, what do we want from each other, something that we can't cede, and it's not settled yet. Is that what it looks like?"

Well, that's pretty much what we're talking about.

Rufizzo said something like something was stuck in his back teeth, and he let out a big sigh and put his arms together in front of his chest.

There are people in the cathedral who still haven't convinced me.

Then Romeo opened his mouth as if to put an end to it.

“His Majesty and the general superintendent are supposed to be present at the scene before we can officially decide on the distribution of the ban.”

Romeo continued to speak in a slightly softer tone than Rufizzo.

"The person who comes out from the side of how to execute it in practice, persistently." I can't make up my mind. "

“What to do with the fine-tuning of the progress. The selection and number of witnesses, the selection of experts accompanying the escort and examination on the day, and arrangements for the production of manuscripts, are all complaints about what we have decided."

And now Rufizzo takes over the story.

"At the stage of deciding on the distribution of the ban, there are a lot of people who are not convinced and are dissatisfied. They're going to say a lot of things so that they can be a little bit more favourable to the royal side.”

"Besides, the cathedral seems to be in the same situation."

I see, are you from the cathedral or the church?

"The main thing is decided, but we can't proceed from there until we decide on the details."

And, Lucia, her report will resume.

"Both the Royal Palace and the church are starting to do majority work with each other, and there is likely to be a repetition of the annoying inner circle fight."

"This is ridiculous. Is it a civil disorder again for lack of flexibility?"

This time, Ishur had a grumpy look on his face and his mouth was pinched.

... what was Salomon's behavior during the day?

“The royal side is centered around the intercessions and clerks of the middle nobility and court who live in the sacred city, and the officials of the cathedral and the temple chief of the royal capital. Powerful merchants and guilds are approaching the factions to help them.”

It's not a very good situation.

Both sides are active in the middle class. It's a bad sign. As expected, even if it is not as late as the time of Bionat, if it is left as it is, it may develop into a great struggle that will shake the holy city.

Even that Nitza has some treasures that she couldn't bear to put her hands on, so I can't help but think of people who care about things...

"You've made an inventory of the forbidden books that were discovered this time, right?" Will you show it to me? "

“It's not here. The inventory is forbidden to be taken outside the Royal Palace and the Cathedral”.

When Ishur asked Rufizio and Romeo, he answered with a voice that Rufizio had pushed to death a few times.

"Well, we've seen the list of books, and they're strictly confidential, not so strict." That's why it spread to the nobles, sacred officials, and merchants throughout the Holy City in no time. "

And then, Romeo explained to me as he shook his head. He taught me the title of his book and its general contents.

In the example of the catalogue, it is said that there are five magic tools and the blessings of the main god Jerez and other gods. It includes── extracts of historical books describing the tyranny of Prince Hymenos and the demise of the kingdom in the last volume of the history of the rise and fall of the kingdom of Urk, as well as many similar vices, other historical books describing the civil unrest in the end of the kingdom of Urk in which apostasy was practiced, records touching ancient monsters such as Maleficia, important rituals and magic books that Nitzua has swept away, heresy specified doctrines and magic written books, etc., and it also includes untitled scrolls (scrolls) and paper fragments such as memoranda.

... the rough description is almost identical to what Leflaide first taught me in Solaire. There is no contradiction with what Nizza said.

Ishur then asked what he had been concerned about since he had heard from Salomon during the day.

“So how did you divide those books between the House of the Kings and the Church?”

……

“The rest of the forbidden books are classified as unofficial history books, forbidden doctrines, legendary monsters, dangerous, powerful magic books, etc. So the cathedral church took possession of history books and heresy books, and our royal side took possession of books that contained rare monsters and magic."

As Ischl asked, Rufizzo, Romeo and Lucia's gaze interleaved, and Rufizzo answered in the form of a concede from Lucia.

"In short, the Church has written literature about academia and religion, and we in the House of the Holy King may really be useful, but we have decided to give you a practical book."

and Romeo explained it to me more clearly.

I see, that's the most appropriate way to settle this.

... the Church assumes authority and the royal family── assumes power, a natural consequence.

"As for the indistinguishable and indistinguishable books, they were individually discussed by the representatives of both parties and distributed with the approval of Mr. Salomon and Mr. Ulturo, but there were people who were dissatisfied..."

and finally Lucia. At the end, the mouth is suspended, and the words are not clear.

"Those people are complaining and working behind the scenes with the partisans..."

It leads to a description of Rufizzo, like the one who crushed the bitter insect earlier.

"But when I talked to His Majesty during the day, I didn't say that." I told him we were going better. ”

Therefore, Ishur taught the Rufizzos, Mira and Rifia to talk to Salomon on the road to the holy city during the day.

“I haven't told you enough about the people who are pushing us.”

"The people who say loud things are grasping by us, but it's about Salomon, so you leave them alone even if you know them." It's not something I care about. "

"Your Majesty, it must be up to you and the Duke of Sandellini." It's not like last year's civil unrest. ”

After Rufizzo and Romeo, Mira, who had been silent until now, joined the story.

"I'm more concerned about what Mr. Salomon said to Mr. Ishur." Just because you don't have to be on your side to keep your neutrality, what do you mean you can help me after I've finished reading the forbidden books? "

Mira said that, but she gave a slight smile to her mouth and gave her a spare expression. While asking herself, she looked like she knew the answer from within.

Hmmm. I can understand your thoughts, Salomon.

For a moment, Liffia looked Mira in the eye and turned to Ishur.

"What about Ishur?" What do you see in Salomon's thoughts? "

Huh?

Ishur lost his words and became dumbfounded.

...... Liffia, you're shaking at me all of a sudden.

Her eyes are shining with a mischievous color.

I talked to His Majesty directly, but you didn't think anything of it.

A little fun pursuit of the Liffia.

……

What's that supposed to mean?

Looking around, Mira and Rifia weren't the only ones with meaningful faces. Reni, Rufizo, and Romeo smiled.

"I don't know, is it just you? Ishuru, it looks like you."

Refia smiles deeply.

What?

Your Majesty is trying to put a heavy shackle called Ishur-sama on someone who is dissatisfied with the ruling.

Mira said with a high smile, "Hoho" as usual.

Shackles?

"I mean..."

"Ishur, Your Majesty is going to nominate you as the witness for the next test."

You'll see Lord Decio Buniel next time, right? Then you should ask at that time. I'm sure she's thinking the same thing as you. "

Rufizzo and Romeo nodded again and again at exactly the same timing.

"Salomon, against the backdrop of your fame and overwhelming power, you are trying to silence the nobles and priests of the rebelling Holy City by holding them down without question."

“I led the Knights to greet Ishur and chose Bolino Street to enter the Royal Castle, not just to strengthen the House of the Holy King.”

"Ishur is so careless and careless about that." A formal agreement will be drawn up after the examination of His Majesty and the Commander-in-Chief, but I think Ishur will be prominent as a guarantor. "

Rifia, Mira, and Leni spoke up.

If you destroy the Red Emperor Dragon and it is known that Ishuru-sama with the Five Gods' Magic Tools will mediate, there will be no one in the Holy City who opposes the distribution of the Prohibited Books.

And finally, Lucia tightened it.

Just Nina and Ishur.

Well, I didn't think so.

... Salomon's daytime attitude.

That's what I was talking about, borrowing my ship and my name.

However, Alsar's entrance into the country was heavily cared for by his own Lufraide. "There's no reason to refuse the Cathedral Church's request, and I don't care if I lend you a name here..."

My name will remain in the history of the kingdom.

It was somehow not funny, Ishur.

Everyone in the mansion was sleepy that night.

As Ishur crawled out of the luxurious bed with canopy, he wore a black leather winter coat and approached the north window, turning his neck and shoulders.

After discussing Lucia's report with Rufizzo and the others, Ishur was assigned a corner room on the southeastern second floor of the Mansion, the same as when he was staying at the Dierad Mansion last year, and he went to bed earlier than usual.

Mira and Romeo were all tired of traveling, so they went to bed early this evening. Ishur fell asleep, but soon woke up. On the day of his arrival in the sacred city, he decided to go out alone, albeit at midnight.

The other day, a note from Decio Buniel, which was handed over secretly, said that he wanted to see her as soon as possible.

The entry of Ishur's party into the sacred city during the daytime triumph was obviously in the ears of the cathedral's Desio and the others.

Ishur thought it better to show his face this evening in order to be as fair as possible with the house of the king and the cathedral church.

He said that it was not permissible to pay a late-night visit to a high-ranking shrine official, but it was okay. In view of the current situation, there was absolutely no need to worry.

... to the Duke's Palace, the Cathedral's St. Patandale Hall, just beyond the eyes and nose.

It's all on its own.

Ishur jumped upward as he opened the window a year ago and stood silently on the roof.

"Federica, Ulula"

The clouds hang in the air and call out to their spirits as they look over the darker night sky.

Yes, swordsman.

... I'll be right here.

Federica appeared thinly next to her, and Ulula replied, hiding at the bottom of the courtyard.

"I'm going out for a bit." Protect everyone in the Mansion. There are a lot of wizards and spirits in this city, so be careful. Don't be alarmed. "

He stopped his gaze at the royal castle, around the eleven spires that sank into the darkness at night, and said in a low voice.

Roger.

... Roger that.

Ishur leaped up into the night sky, turning his back on their voices.

Beyond the Le Gouvel Canal just southwest of the Duke's Palace, the Cathedral is just around the corner.

The night in the sacred city in late autumn is already covered with a slightly humid and cold bottom. Thick clouds dripping low create pitch-black dimples all over the place, hiding the moon and stars.

Ishur turned his gaze toward Adèle Cathedral in the city. In the cathedral where Civil Bake is the temple's head, there are spirits who specialize in protecting them. The Spirit of the Water, Adeliane.

...... You've grown so admirable and friendly, but I don't think there's any reason why you're still secretly hiding your existence from me, day or night.

She can't leave Adèle Cathedral. I have no idea why they won't show up, or what the circumstances are, or why they won't come out.

”You should probably say hello to Sybil too, and maybe I'll show my face next time...”

As he slowed down and floated in the air, the darkness rose from the shadow of the building below, from the surface of the canal, and from the clouds above, peeling off and falling apart, and began to fly around like some creature.

... it's the Dark Spirit.

It is a spirit that summons the work of the shadows of the church and the king's family, including the black crystal. It is a lowly spirit that exerts its power in the dark, especially at night and in caves.

A multitude of pitch-black shadows approached as they surrounded Ishur.

No way, you're going to challenge me right now.

When Ishur returned the palm of his right hand, the dark spirits sucked into the other side of the night sky and disappeared.

It was a momentary event.

... whoever approaches the cathedral at night or enters or exits the Imperial Castle may have been pre-positioned to attack automatically.

Ishur raised his altitude slightly to the cathedral and increased his speed.

The pagoda, which was blown clean from the ground up in the battle against Bionate's summoned Malefioa, is now scaffolded to the middle level, hidden in large and small canvas on the lower level, and the construction of the foundation part seems to be well underway.

The bottom of the night shade, which woven complex shapes, was surrounded by several spirits that seemed to have power.

Of course, they are aware of Ishur's presence, but they secretly observe their silence and show no reaction.

An example of Bionate's hidden forbidden book is sealed in the basement of the seat of the Lord God. It was discreet, but it seemed to be heavily guarded.

……

Ishur glanced at the darkness of the tower he was building and descended to the front of St. Patandale Hall on the east side.

At the entrance to the building, hidden in a huge cylindrical shadow, it was discreet, but there were a considerable number of guards.

Ishur was climbing the stone steps at the main entrance regardless.

There came a holy warrior with a long spear.

You, perhaps.

Ishr, Ishr Bersh.

Ishur looked sideways at the man and said that briefly.

Perhaps you knew Ishur's face before, but the shrine soldiers silently lowered their heads deeply and led them inside the Patandale Museum with a polite gesture.

And so easily, I was guided to the deepest room on the second floor of the hall, the work room packed by Decio Buniel.

"No, it was just right in the middle of the night." It might have been a big fuss in the middle of the day. ”

The interior was not that big, but the few candlesticks were concentrated on his desk, and the corners of the room looked dark and staggering.

As Ishur apologized for his late-night visit, Desio Buniel, the chief of the Fire Lord Temple and high priest, still smiled cheerfully with a youthful smile.

"You must have just arrived in the capital today." I'm the one who took the trouble. "

No, by the way, how are you and Carnot?

“Yes, as always. I'm off today, but I'll be sure to have time for a meeting later, so please be patient.”

"Ha ha. Yes, it is."

"By the way, it seems that Fioa-sama also gave me the magic tool for the water."... it's absolutely amazing. I'd like to start with that story, but I don't have much time right now. Let's start with the forbidden book. "

As soon as he said hello, Desio, who could often be noticed, quickly got down to business.

Ishur brought a round chair from the edge of the room and placed it right in front of Desio's sitting desk.

In the back room of the cathedral, where there was not a single sound, the two men met face to face and continued the conversation in a whisper.

I see, Your Majesty said so.

When Ishur spoke of the contents of his conversation with Salomon during the day, Dessio struck him on the knee and exclaimed, shouting with joy.

"I didn't expect Lord Ishur to be neutral and to be the guarantor of the ban." I was also thinking of you as a witness for the next test. "

Dessio said, “This will put the story together,” and his chest grinned at him with relief.

In the royal palace, the promotion of intermediate nobility was fierce, but in the cathedral, there was a lot of dissatisfaction from the high priest.

So, when is it likely that Salomon and Ulturo will be sampled in the basement among the gods?

It's a good thing things seem to be settling down, but there's also the case with Nitzua. If you don't have a lot of days before the test, your workmanship may be difficult.

Hmmm.

Desio put his arms together in front of his chest and set his gaze far away.

"It's going to take us and the other side a long time to root it out." No matter how quickly I estimate it, it will be more than ten days ahead. "

I see.

... maybe in ten days we'll be able to make it.

Ishur also thought that Nitzua's stolen Spirit Summoning Scroll had no choice but to forge it. The banned items left by Bionate were originally sorted from scented items mixed with fake books. When making the catalogue, although it has received a rough appraisal, if I examine it in detail afterwards, even if it was a fake, no, it was a manuscript rather than an original, there is no problem, it can happen enough.

The point is how old the rolls are, how close they are to the ink at the time, and whether you can arrange for a skilled craftsman.

"Well, I wish I could read the abstract of the history of the rise and fall of the Uruk Kingdom." It's best if it doesn't get rough and ends peacefully. ”

Yeah, I totally agree.

Dessio smiled so refreshingly that he suspected it was late at night.

"Speaking of which, you're going to make a copy of the book that you gave to each other, right?" Of course, after the test is finished, right? "

"Yes, it is."

“How long is it going to take?”

"It's not that much." If we split up, it won't take a month. "

Speaking of which...

I suddenly asked a question.

A scroll (scroll) with a spell or a manuscript will lose its effect.

Since the original works of practical use, such as those related to magic, are owned by the House of the Holy King, the cathedral church that holds the manuscript is merely of material value.

Well, basically, but definitely not.

Decio continues in a soft tone, as usual.

"The magic spell can be activated by anyone and any time when the conditions are in place." For example, if you have a magic tool with a certain amount of power, anyone casting a spell will activate that spell. The speed and scale will also relate to personal qualities such as experience and compatibility. "

"That's true, but... oh, I see. If you have a powerful magic tool, get the help of a contract spirit, or prepare a specific magic circle, if the scroll is not mistaken, magic may be activated."

... not now. I guess it's because I'm tired of all the things I've done today.

Ishur shook his head.

That's right.

Decio said to her in a good mood, wondering if she hadn't noticed Ishur.

"It's in the Bible, in the creation of the world."

Decio held out his index finger on his right hand and continued, shaking it sideways.

"Lord Jeremiah proclaims," Heaven and earth. I thought, "There is light." That's a spell of the gods. It was uttered by Jerez-san, who has the power to create the world. No matter how many times we recite the scripture without the power of God, no matter how grateful it is, nothing will happen. "

……

Ishur snorted silently.

That's right, that's what I'm talking about.

Yes, but I can create my own "world" with five magic tools for a limited time...

"Well, uh, if someone had the same power as Jerez, that chalice...──"

It will be a spell of world creation.

Désio said the easy way out.

He said, "Well, that makes sense." "That's all I'm talking about. It's not what the church is officially saying,” he continued, laughing innocently.
