Sweet Reincarnation

Episode 287: Isaac the Morning Run

Anamanah, the holy capital of the Holy Nation, Ahjarun.

It is simply the capital of the country, also known as the Holy City, but within it stands a cathedral in a prominent place.

The historic building, more than 500 years after it was built, has continued to stand as a symbol of the city despite repeated renovations and renovations.

It is also a religious sanctuary where the Holy Nation serves as the headquarter of the Sietian religion, and half-life people are even afraid to approach it.

In one room, a man welcomed the visitor.

"Hello, Isaac."

The visitor's name is Isale-Rivivet.

A wizard who ranks fifth in the series in the thirteenth masterpiece of the Holy Nation.

Isaac is the morning monkey whose name is known to neighboring countries.

If you care about it, it has the magic of running faster than the flying falcon, and it is a militant who is feared to be a running reaper because of the endless vertical and horizontal movement that cannot be stopped on the battlefield.

"Is it too much to bother calling?

"Oh, I have one favor to ask of you."

Isaac was summoned by the first in the sequence of the thirteen masters.

Bitter taste-Este-High Enchant.

In the Holy Nation, even the Pope is handsome at a glance, and his mind is clear and calm. A body forged into burning red hair. Speaking of which, a young genius who looks familiar to being said to be a knight, but is also known as a wizard of the Holy Nation and the index.

But the wizard is a gifted son of God.

Such a teaching exists in the Holy Nation. It is a doctrine that existed in the past and is still taught in some parts.

Among the wizards, they said, "I am the Holy Law and the Advocate of God," and even grew up. When it comes to the strength of habits, it is the wizard of the Holy Nation who has strong acupuncture regardless of who takes it, and has a large, small and selfish personality.

It is not often difficult to follow and organize people like themselves, sometimes with strength, sometimes with trust, and sometimes with reason and profit.

When Bitter succeeded to the current organization from the first place in the previous series, and still today, the amount and quality of the struggle remain the same.

A group of my powerful geniuses. That's the Wizard of the Holy Land. Among them, the selection is called the Thirteen Masters.

Yes, it's a good choice. The choice is, of course, the person on the side running the organization.

In other words, the Holy Nation's Thirteen Masters are the titles given to the top of many Holy Nation wizards, and at the same time prove that they have the flexibility to belong to the organization.

A wizard accepting inferiority.

Basically, the fifth person in the sequence does not refuse every request from the first person in the sequence. Especially a man named Isaac is a man who likes to keep order. It was also known to have a strong consciousness to defend the sequence.

"What's your favor? What am I supposed to do?

As expected, Isal accepts Bitter's request before asking the details.

A red-haired man with a slightly broken affinity continues to talk with a letter of instruction in a trusted companion's posture.

"I want you to get one from the Kingdom of God."

"What do you want me to get?

Ah.

"... it's about the dragon."

Without looking at the contents of the order handed over, Isaac understood the contents.

"You got it."

"You'll see. Unless you're too stupid, if you're going to do something about the kingdom of God now, there's nothing else."

It's a smart thing to hear.

Hmm.

The Holy Nation is religiously opposed to the kingdom of God and politically opposed to all other nations.

This was also due to a large historical part, as well as to the doctrine itself, which spreads God's teachings and prestige too much and seeks to make the world one community.

There is absolutely righteousness, there is one justice, and all human beings are equal before God. It is a monotheistic religion that has always existed so far.

Spreading the right teaching is a good deed, and the wrongdoers should guide them to the right path. This idea is still good as long as it's only for my family.

The problem is that we have applied this teaching fundamentally in the past and interfered with other countries on religious grounds.

An era when the Holy Nation was stronger than it is today and there was no kingdom of God. He was quite selfish towards the neighboring countries. As a result, all the neighboring countries became enemies, and the antithesis of a divine kingdom with secularism emerged, and the Holy Nation turned diplomatic policy into a moderate one, which remains.

Even today, the fact remains that all neighboring countries are virtual enemies. The gathering of information against the enemy was essential to do anything, and various organizations in the Holy Land were still conducting foreign intelligence.

Smart ears are words that refer to things around them.

"Before I tell you what to get... how much do you know about the auction?

Bitter asks Isaac questions.

It's for mutual recognition.

Each of the thirteen masters has a cardinal who is a sponsor and a political backer. Each Cardinal was a comrade of the same faith, as well as a political opponent to the throne of the Pope and to delicious interests.

However, there are aspects of each other's reluctance to share information with each other, and it is not uncommon for information to be contradictory even among the thirteen masters.

"Auction? Ah, it's a bad hobby auction market where Tai Ryu's body was cut and sold, right? I know that the dragon material was sold in large quantities."

Apparently, Bitter nods lightly when he learns that the auction in the kingdom of God took place at Isaac's place.

The auction of the dragon was so crowded from various foreign countries that I didn't hear about it, but it is still important to have a common understanding.

There is a wave in the Holy Nation that business and money are despised. Although it is about the death of the religious state, the tide of neglect of commerce is deeply rooted. It is said to be a good person to wake up early every morning praying to God, plowing fields, caring for livestock, honoring parents, respecting neighbors, and living with gratitude.

It is considered evil for a person to pretend to deceive others, to devour profits without sweating, and to make fun and profit.

Of course, it is a problem to a certain extent, and there are no merchants in the Holy Nation, and it is not that making money itself is bad.

However, it is also true that there are many people who face acts of unjustly devouring profits.

According to the values of the Holy Nation, the way to incite the euphoria of good people, to use handicrafts to make money, to make gold coins by competing with others, etc., cannot be said to be an inferior extreme.

How dare you despise me if I can go so low and make money. Some people don't want to face dirty things, but I'm happy to be able to share information. The content is a lowly story that is at the extreme of aversion.

Bitter nodded to the man's disgusting face that he wouldn't hide it.

"What did they sell?

"My nails, my fangs, my bones, it was just like an obscene hobby. Oh, speaking of which, I hear they also sold the blood of the dragon, which has the effect of“ healing ”as a lying story. I hear our family was at the auction."

It is really disgusting that people close to me were participating in the auction. Again bitter smote a gavel at Isaac's words, which he threw up. Even in the Holy Nation, several people participated in the auction to confirm that the effect Dailong's blood had was directly linked to the national interest.

In fact, “healing” is also quite important in the Holy Nation.

One of the thirteen masters, Marie-Adit-Advillon, ranked second in the sequence, is a skilled wizard who uses the magic of [healing]. It is also said that Cardinal Adrian, who has the synonym of the Virgin, was greatly empowered.

She is still twenty years old and a young woman there. Since magical powers were rare and useful to everyone, Cardinal Adobe surrounded them as cage birds at the same time as they matured. Had it not been for his mercy, also known as the militants, the Virgin would have been targeting her life by violent means. Or have you been imprisoned and turned into a magical instrument?

It is so useful and dangerous from the standpoint of hostile forces.

At the same time, however, more than seven years after she became an adult, she saved many lives. Because it is both an amateur and an effect that can be easily believed to be the power of God, the upper echelons of the country were making full use of the power of “healing”.

Years, years. The Virgin's profits are enormous.

That is why if the blood of the dragon is enough to replace the Virgin, the mind cannot remain calm.

The Holy Nation participated in the hateful auction, as well as (most), and for good reason.

Hmm, so I didn't hear about the “out of standard” listing there.

"Out of standard?

"That's right. About the metal sold exclusively at the venue that day."

"I don't know."

Even humans like Isaac have heard the magic of “healing” in the blood and flesh of the dragon, since the Morteln family revealed it without hiding any information.

On the other hand, I had to go to the auction site to find out, and there was limited information on the items listed on the day.

The information around here seems to be a rift in the boulders.

"Looks like it's called dragon gold. It's all about the top compatibility of light gold."

"What!? Is there such a thing?"

Longjin.

As Bitter said, it marks the top compatibility of light gold, which was the only magical metal that existed.

The “manufacturing method” of the light gold itself is so top-secret that there are people unknown to the upper echelons of the country.

Rather, it is true that the petty cash left behind as a legacy of the past is still being invested. It is said that the secret of light gold “how to make it” has been passed down so that only the successive Popes are allowed to view it.

If you think of it as an actual technology, it can be said that it is already lost.

That's why the Holy Nation is in a hurry to discover a top-compatible magical metal called Dragon Gold.

"I'm investigating the details of the incident. However, it is true that new materials related to the name of the dragon have appeared. There's a lot of certainty about Dragon Gold."

"I see, I want to get that dragon gold and stuff."

Power because it monopolizes the power of magic. In the Holy Nation, the powers of God are magical.

It is important if it may be disseminated to the general public.

Isaac couldn't help but think so.

Dragon gold material that is super compatible with light gold. It is in the national interest to seize this. Let's be convinced that this is enough reason to move one of the thirteen masters.

"Don't start early. Sure, it would be great if Ryukin were real, but without it, nothing would happen right away. In the future, it can be obtained through diplomatic negotiations."

But Bitter shook his head aside about the dragon gold.

Originally, Bitter is valued for his political knowledge and high level of insight. From his point of view, the existence of something called Longjin is astonishing, but it is not a threat.

A bitter gentle explanation to Isaac who leans his neck.

Although it is backward compatible, the Holy Nation has similar light gold, and there is a track record that things are immediate and have already been sold at auction, so it seems that it is not difficult to buy with money.

It's not something you have to get right now, it's something you can get depending on how you do it in the future. Isaac was convinced that it would not be too late for all the other means to fail.

Then what is it?

"... there may be dragon eggs."

"Huh?"

Isaac corrected her stance.

"Originally, the church only knows the details about light gold. However, it seems that the dragon material is involved in this light gold."

"I don't know."

"Light gold can be made, and dragon gold can also be made from dragon materials."

"Possibility?

"It's possible. Don't talk out of your mouth because you're not sure."

Hmm.

The conversation between the two is like having something stuck in your teeth.

It turns out that this is very important information that even the upper echelons keep secret.

"Whether it's light gold or dragon gold, if the number is limited, it's not a big problem. But if it were true that it would be a dragon egg, we might be able to mass-produce special metals in the future."

It's important.

As Bitter said earlier, the problem is limited if there is a limited amount of strategic supplies that can be said to be top-compatible with light gold.

New entrants, such as royalty and nobility of the kingdom of God, have vandalized what the religious forces have monopolized so far. This is certainly a problem in itself, but when viewed from a larger perspective, you will realize that the form of a magical monopoly by the privileged class has not collapsed.

What has been monopolized in one place until now is monopolized in two places. Competition is born, and the taste may be reduced as before. However, the monopoly structure remains unchanged. Depending on the method and political power, it is possible to continue the profit monopoly in a closer form than before. For example, there is a method of collusion. Discussions can also be used to protect interests.

Was it five fifths, or was it two eighths, depending on the negotiations? It is uncertain because it is not foreseeable in the future, but it will be possible to get close to a hundred without limit.

However, if a dragon egg exists in reality, the premise collapses.

What Bitter knows as the "top secret” is that dragon materials are needed for light gold and dragon gold. And if the dragon's materials “will increase in the future," that means that the absolute amount of light gold and dragon gold will increase.

This is not how to distribute a hundred. It means that the value that was 100 is denigrated in half or even in one place. The moment the monopoly collapses, the dilution of value is inevitable. Magic metals were valuable because they were rare.

"Oh, it's important. In other words, if a dragon egg exists, it needs to be kept with us. This involves the survival of the state."

Isaac understood the feeling of crisis in vain. I see, I was convinced that this was enough for the thirteen masters to move.

"Very well. So what do you want me to do?

"I want you to confirm the authenticity of the dragon eggs and seize them if they are true. You can do it. If you use the magic of Hand Feet .

The more useful the magic is called the Thirteen Masters, the more things you can do depending on “utilization”.

To that end, Bitter undertook to prepare a written order for the cause.

"You want me to use my magic to imitate a thief?

"Yes, it is."

Without decoration, Isaac's stomach is also determined by being asserted.

"Damn, I get it. I can't refuse to let you do that."

"Thank you. Just in case, I'll take care of the help and support. I'll do my best."

That's very reliable.

"... be careful. Morteln, too, is prepared to take over the whole kingdom of God. If you need help, you can run. Dragon eggs are important, but not more than you."

If the dragon egg capture fails, we can help recover it. However, if you lose a wizard with rare talents, you won't be able to recover it.

It goes without saying which is valuable to the state.

"I'm glad you said that. Well, I'll leave it to you. There's no one who can catch up with me."

The man who grabbed the paperwork violently already left the scene the moment Bitter blinked.
