"The church in the Old King's Capital was separate from the current Dragon Guide Church, and the doctrine is quite different."
"Really?"
Is there a new and old religious conflict or something?
"There seemed to be plenty of small churches in the Old King's Capital to serve as a base for people's hearts and minds. It's no different around here now."
"Right."
There are still many dragon guidance churches in the Wang capital.
"There seemed to be something called the Historical Codification Room at Church Headquarters. For future generations, attempts were being made to preserve the 'history of truth' seen with an eye that did not come close to power. Of course, what makes it a true history is the division of judgment."
"Right. But I think it's a good try."
"Yeah, I think so too. So in the historical material compiled, there was paradise and a narrative."
"Did they find you?
That's fast.
"What do you think? What's written there is absurd. It would have been a smile, and not even a topic of discussion. But it was written for the purpose of codifying" The History of Truth, "so it could represent one end of that truth."
I see what Mr. Geithung said.
I guess the historical material, written from as objective a point of view as possible, contained unlikely content in reality.
"What was written?
Mr. Geithung looked at me with a serious face.
"It's about a wide earth isolated from the outside world. It is a land rich in water, where crops grow well, and where abundance is promised."
"... Yu, that's the place you want to dream about. No, so 'paradise'."
"Yes. A wide earth isolated from the outside world...... what do you think this represents?
There is no place like that in Dragon Domestic. No, the Devil's Country is the same as the Moving Country. Naturally, it's not even in the merchant country.
The outside world...... I mean isolated from this continent?
"Island... or another continent?
"That's what I thought, too. In the old king's capital, it seems that some have actually reached paradise and returned."
"Is that true?
"Yes. Looks like he's back with his life at the mercy of his hopes. The story of the man remains in the church, and in fact paradise searches have been carried out in the Old King's capital."
At the time, he said, the north was an untouched land, the south had the path of the yin moon, and there was not much interaction with countries further south than that.
"The old king's capital was north of Hewler, wasn't it?"
"That's right. The closest thing from there is the East Sea. In other words, I expected paradise to be at the end of the east ocean."
So I remembered something. [M]
What junior Chris was talking about when Ark talked about the foggy people.
But he said, 'The people of the tide'.
"Mr. Geithung. Where was the town of Porkni?
"Is this the town of Porkni? Satellite city in the town of Hewler, right? I remember it was one of the harbour towns."
"There's a cleric named Chris at the Dragon Guide Church there, but he's a lifetime at Dragon College right now. I'm in the same room... and he thinks he's flown from the old king's capital, and he knows how to pass it on."
"Well, what kind of inheritance?"
"Said he was a tidal people, a clan searching for exiled royalty. On a boat, he disappeared into the eastern sea. I heard it from the ancient world."
"I see… the people of the tide, and the sea of the east"
Mr. Geithung thinks.
Sure, if you can imagine.
Isn't there another continent beyond the eastern sea?
You think it's the earth where abundance was promised, isolated from the outside world?
That's exactly 'paradise'.
That's what I thought.
"Okay. Find out if there's anything similar here."
"Please"
Mr. Geithung and I made a commitment to continue our investigation into the matter.
○
I could hear rumors of 'paradise' unexpectedly, but I still had another problem.
Annella and her business members are still there.
Just fine. Let's talk about it.
I gathered the Annellas in one room and told them what I was thinking.
"It's important, so I want you to listen seriously"
"Yes, what is it?
"As it is, I think one of the five heads of the merchant nation, Harim, will be targeting us all the way"
What the Harim meeting is looking for is information leading to 'Paradise'.
Why is Harim searching for 'Paradise'? I have no idea what to look for.
"I think Annella will be protected while she's in college. Hands on dragon jockeys attending college unless you're so stupid"
The previous raid seemed arbitrary on the part of my men.
There will be strict fate by now. Get your hands on the dragon's college and you'll be like last year's demon kingdom.
For the second time, if the dragon kingdom... no, if Her Majesty meant it, I don't know what kind of retribution it would take.
It could be enough to occupy the western capital in order to make it fall.
Someone swallowed a gokuri and a snail.
"What Harim is after is the information 'Demon Explorer' Dural Diva was holding. I have no idea what information Annella's father had or why he ciphered it. But I'm only certain that Harim is secretly after them."
"But your father didn't tell us anything. I haven't been taught at all either."
"I think everyone at the Diva Chamber of Commerce was caught and asked a lot. No one knows anything, I'm sure."
Everyone nods without getting their hair in.
"If so, is Annella taking any hints without her knowing, or does she really not? But the truth doesn't matter right now. Maybe Annella has something. They may be targeted for just that reason."
"What can I do?
"I'm getting another side to decipher the information that 'Demon Explorer' was holding right now. Information that doesn't rely on cryptography, so I don't know if that's the right answer."
"Really?
Annella looks out for surprises.
I'm a merchant, but I don't know about it in my face.
"If you can discover something and publish it, you just have to publish it. That way, Annella won't be targeted."
I don't know how Her Majesty will judge you, but I'm sure you won't completely keep information from 'Paradise'.
"Well, if you hide until then..."
"Yes, as long as Annella continues to attend the college, it will be difficult for everyone at the Chamber of Commerce to use it to bring Annella out."
Some nodded.
"So I have a suggestion. I've got you all protected here at the Dragon Guide Church, and I've called Mr. Geithung, the director of headquarters, to make sure we can do business in this. Someone is moving to solve this problem early now. In the meantime, why don't we do business here?
When I say business, I am a cleric opponent, and I would have little profit.
Still, he agreed on the spot that Annella would be annoying enough.
At the same time, I feel like I have reason to have to move to solve this problem early.
