Trinitas Mundus

Lesson 28: Intertwined Threads

A showdown at the Baron's mansion was also completed, and Ray and Ashley followed the mansion.

Ultimately, Bishop Azaro was placed under severe house arrest in the Temple of Light and required the Baron's permission if he was to visit and leave the temple.

Priest Bassani locked Bishop Azaro in a "silent room - a special room where he could not speak out given dark attribute magic". This room is usually a place for meditation, but it is also used for punishment. This time he was wary of Azaro's magic and turned this room into a place of house arrest where the chant of the spell could not take place.

The two executing offenders are investigated for the remainder of their crimes and given a punishment in accordance with the charges. Until then, he was to be imprisoned in a cell in the defense.

Optical theocracy officials other than Priest Bassani were not punished by the rampage of Bishop Azaro, but the immediate missionary activity had been solemnly said.

Ray had an uninterrupted look,

"Does that mean we solved it after all?

Ashley has a harsh tone,

"At least you solved the" investigation of grave vandalism ”thing. But, Ray. This is a little too much. If they weren't the bishop (the fanatic), it would have been pretty dangerous. Better not insult a big organization."

He nods honestly, knowing she's worried about herself.

"Right. I think that was a good lesson. Not about Theron, not about this one. I've never been involved in anything like this before..."

"But why were you so impotent? Sure, I don't like the way the light gods do to the Hales priests, but I wasn't involved with the Temple of Darkness enough to be so impotent"

"Yeah. Bishop Azaro said bad things about Ash. That's when I cut it off..."

Ashley's face rose at once to words she never expected.

"Oh well... if they say bad things about Ray too, maybe they will"

The two of them went back to the Temple of Darkness, talking about that.

When I arrived at the Temple of Darkness, Sheriff Hales, the worried face, welcomed me. Describing the upside of the matter, he nodded with a horrible look.

"Thank you so much this time. Thanks to both of you, I think I'm going to be quiet. I'll sign the request for completion, which means completion of the crusade."

The two followed the temple and headed to the Adventurer's Guild.

Make a completion report and receive two hundred C (krona) of the compensation.

It's not even noon yet, but I was tired last night and decided not to take the request today.

Ashley felt like a dustbin in this investigation.

"I don't want to take the investigation for the time being. How about a brief escort? If you're in a hurry to escort a merchant, there's also a camp. There are other mercenaries, but they won't be able to rub it."

And, starting tomorrow, I have proposed to get a simple request for an escort.

"Right. I've never done an escort before, so maybe it's just fine. Shall we?"

Ray also agreed and headed to the mercenary guild to look for a request for escort.

On that road, Ray was concerned about light theism and was asking Ashley.

"The baron said you can't dismiss the priest of the temple, but what do you mean?

"I don't know the details, but the priests are sent by the Great Shrine, the main mountain of each temple. Sure..."

Ashley's story is that some lord once appointed or removed a cleric on his own to fatten his private belly, and the Great Temple angry at it stopped sending clerics. As a result, sacrifices and events lagged behind, and even more so in the countryside, clerics combined as healers, so the territory fell into havoc everywhere. The king, worried about it, made an agreement against the Great Temple that he would not speak to the appointment or removal of clerics; instead, to a city of a certain size or more, he would always send clerics of certain abilities.

Hearing the story, Ray was convinced.

(It's not Canossa's humiliation, but there was something close to it. Better than medieval Europe in this world where the power of God exists, I guess. A tree temple has to do with agriculture, and a water temple has to do with drinking water. With or without a capable cleric, you're going to have a huge impact)

"By the way, how long does it take to get from here to Luke's Holy Capital?

"Right. Wouldn't it take a month one way, even for an early horse, because via Fonce (King's Capital of Lax), Periclitle (Adventurer's Country), we take the sea route from the commercial capital Aurelia?

"A month or... more than two months round trip. I hope nothing happens until then..."

Ray doesn't think Bishop Azaro has been adulterating for more than two months and becomes anxious to see if he's going to set something up.

(Let's hope Priest Bassani does well. Baron Atley will hit me in the hand too, and we'll figure it out...)

Forced anxiety into his heart, he entered the mercenary guild.

This time I was going to get a request for an escort that needed to be camped out.

On a message board near the reception, looking for a small, day-by-day request, he spotted a merchant's request to escort him from Morton to a city called Rezam, just south of the street.

Rezam is roughly eighty-five km from Morton. Along the way, via a village called Baluster, Breemer, but in the case of a hasty merchant, camping between Baluster and Breemer may be shortened to two days.

The camp is a scenic meadow, but the danger of being attacked by demons and bandits cannot be denied.

However, the danger was not so great, as small transports did not show much interest and were regularly crusaded about demons, as bandits were also less successful.

This time it was a small transport of six merchants to three wagons, with six escorts being recruited. It seems that four people have already been decided, which will take the form of Ray and Ashley in the remaining two frames.

Ashley heard about the mercenaries already accepted at the reception,

"This member would have no problem. I've done a few escorts with you. Ray would be just the right member to go through his first escort."

Ashley has done many escorts with him about the already accepted mercenary Roche, and he pushes his heartbeat that he can be trusted.

Ray also trusts Ashley's judgment, so he goes to reception immediately.

The receptionist tells me it's a gathering at 6: 00 a.m. tomorrow at a merchant named Orville.

I went to buy necessary supplies such as preserved food and then went back to the inn.

Former quaternary adventurer Theron Greaves was about to be escorted from the city of Morton to Fonce, the king's capital.

The orb is taken away and instead put on a collar for restraint - the same thing you attach to a slave - and put on a carriage for each more cage.

(How did this happen? Am I going to be made a combat slave like this? Before that, you get washed up and thrown up in Fonce, and they - the mafia - kill you as a traitor? What am I supposed to do?... there's nothing I can do...)

Theron had gone from a lively face a few days earlier to an old face without power at once. He is put in a rattling and rocking carriage and is transported down the street.

The Kingdom of Lax is a beautiful kingdom covered in lakes and forests, but for that matter the streets often pass through the woods. The streets are quite crooked to bypass its lakes, ponds and even hills.

As a result, when the streets entered the woods, the prospects were poor and there was always a danger of demons and bandits attacking them.

In this escort, the captain was a knight in Morton's defensive corps, but mercenaries were hired as escorts.

The number of escorts was considerable, including five knights from the defensive corps and ten mercenaries, and as Baron Atley, he had sent them to the King's Capital in full swing.

Four days after departure, when we went into the deep woods, that convoy was raided by an unidentified armed group.

The convoys, especially the mercenaries who sent out traitors at the last Baron's escort, fought hard to clear up that stigma. But having been ambushed by more than twice as many as forty enemies, and losing their lead, they are annihilated in about thirty minutes by both the defense and the defense.

The captain's knight also struggles, but has been wounded and captured.

One of the raiders approaches the carriage and speaks to Theron.

"Now I owe you back. Just wait a little longer."

The man turned to the knight,

"Let's have Theron's collar removed. I know you have the authority to remove it. You can torture me, but you better be honest with me."

The knight was wary of the word, but now that his men were dead, he did not think he was the only one who could help, and resolutely refused.

In order to conduct the interrogation in Wangdu this time, the administrator of the collar will also be needed in Wangdu. For that reason, the administrator making the succession was the knight.

If it was to be complete, the administrators should move separately, but the fact that they were going to disperse the escorts and did not think there was a move to recapture Theron made it this system.

Starting with the Baron, the facades of the defense did not expect to come to recapture, even if they were ever attacked by Theron's mouth seal.

Under the obstinate torture of the Raiders, the Knight of the Defense Corps removed Theron's collar.

And the raiders, who stabbed a stop at a knight dying of torture, accompanied Theron and disappeared.

Zambrotta Azaro was under house arrest in a small room called the silent room of the Temple of Light.

Looking at the wall with his vain eyes, he sat back on the sleeping table in the small room, delayed by his thoughts.

(God! Why abandon me...... I have devoted everything to making the kingdom of God...... what is mine......)

He was staring at the wall with a raw face, but suddenly, he stood up.

(Ko, this is a trial! God is testing me! We must rid the world of those devil's forebears in order to overcome this test and to conform to God's will…)

Azaro stared at his own fingers with cloudy eyes.

(With the magic team, I can get out of this room without having to chant a spell. If I could create a magic formation......)

He hurt his own fingers and approached the door. And with that dripping blood I began to draw a magic formation on the door.

Priest Bassani had instructed his men, the eunuchs, to strengthen the surveillance of Azaro. But when Azaro, who can't use magic, is just a poor minister man, the Festivals thought, and didn't care so much about how he was doing when he plugged in his meal.

And I hadn't even dreamed of it, such as the fact that a magic formation was being painted inside a door that was a blind spot.

Baron Bruno Atley thought the case was closed by placing Bishop Azaro under house arrest and charging him with the Grand Temple.

Though phototheism was a headache issue for him, it was not a case of so high priority, and his interest was in who planned his own assassination plot.

(Are there two people who benefit from killing Nong? One is that fanatic, Azaro. He assumed that Noon was in the way of preaching. I could have interrogated you at this time, but there's too little evidence. Either way, he's already helpless. Plus I have too little contact with the mercenaries...)

And I was thinking about the other one.

(Is the other Aussie...)

Aussies Atlee is Bruno Atlee's belly brother and general manager of the Atlee Chamber of Commerce - which hits Baron Atlee's home - based in the city of Morton.

But even when it comes to the general manager, the baron holds the real power, and there is only the title entirely.

Unlike the Baron, if he looks like a gentleman who has calmed down and behaves as a celebrity, there's nothing wrong with him, but the troublemaker and the Baron think he's only ambitious because he's inferior in ability.

(You can't deny the possibility that Aussies is involved. But Aussies can't have that kind of plan. Fans and Aussies, there's got to be more to this. Possible rogues...... if Cylon leaks information in the King's Capital, it might work out all at once, but I can't be optimistic)

I will go further with my thoughts.

(Aussies prepares information about Non, Azaro prepares gold, and the rogues - the mafia - prepares violence. This is a possible diagram. But I don't really understand the connection between the three. Even Aussies makes it easy to grab his tail if his life is hanging. If something happens that triggers this, things could change at once...)

The Baron reserved for stepping up surveillance of Aussies and intended to await the findings of the King's Capital regarding the Mafia.

Aussies Atlee had heard rumors of the city and felt in a hurry.

(I'm about to welcome a man named Ray Arklight to Oriana's son-in-law. So... he's the benefactor of my brother's life, and he has martial arts arms. I further heard that he had lost the Bishop of Azaro of the Light God, whom my brother hates, with his tongue... if it were true, it would be an obstacle for me to hold the real power of the Atlee family...)

Baron Bruno Atley had no intention of welcoming Ray, but his eldest daughter, Oriana, was a benefactor of life and was in love with Ray of a serene character.

Oriana herself intended to hide the matter, but it was becoming a well-known fact for the servants.

Aussies had secretly obtained information about the Baron's family, through a servant, and the story of Oriana's marriage to Ray, as a rumor, was in his ear.

(Ray Arklight... we should get rid of it before any more rumors spread... but what do we do? Even the mercenaries who made him attack my brother were kicked in the ass. Their power alone could be at stake... borrow his wisdom...)

Aussies Atlee left for the city of Morton alone.
