Chapter 446

After a pleasant meal, we return to the temple.

“God, heading to Ahrensbach at the end of winter, isn’t it too hard to snow? I think you can’t carry your luggage with a carriage, but how do you move?” [19459002 ]

If only the priests are able to run straight through the sky with a beast. However, there is nothing to do with a lot of luggage.

“It should have been arranged to some extent. Lamplecht and Elvira would have been arranged even when in Aurelia?” For items that are not particularly valuable, such as costumes and stationery from spring to summer, I asked Aub to send it before it snowed. After that, I have you send me an extra piece of luggage. ”

The baggage to be sent the second time is a lot of valuable items, so if you are going to manage it, you should manage it yourself. But waiting for the snow to thaw and then moving to Ahrensbach will not be ready for marriage by the next lord meeting.

“… Will I carry it to the border gate with the Lesser?”

“You may ask, depending on the time and circumstances. If you carry it, at least the risk of getting valuables and strange things mixed in with food is reduced.”

The Priest asked him in the direction of Ahrensbach.

“The temple head, the chief priest”

“We waited for your return”

I heard in the carriage that the temple gatekeeper, who opened the gate for the carriage to pass, said in a voice that seemed a little relieved. A strange fuss makes me stare at the door of the carriage.

“Is there something in the temple?”

“What do you mean?”

“I can’t usually speak like this. I wonder if something happened that couldn’t be reported without us.”

Hum and the priest dab the temple.

“If the gray priests who know the gatekeeper know, there will be an immediate report from the side serving the orphanage. Go back to the room and wait. Do not open it and ask the gray priests directly. “

“Yes”

I thought I was going to do it, but I had a nail pierced first. I leaned forward and sit back with my back straight.

After passing through the gate, the carriage stopped at the main entrance, and I saw Nikola, who was staying with the side of the priest, waiting for me.

“Come back, Rosemine”

With the francs who seemed to be busy loading luggage such as tableware and Rosina’s instruments from the carriage, I got off the carriage and started walking toward Nicolas with Nicola. By the time you arrive in the room, the francs who have unloaded their luggage will catch up.

“Is it difficult for Nicola alone to meet you?”

“No, that’s not true. Ella has prepared sweets yesterday, so the only thing you can greet is to boil hot water and prepare tea. It was harder to carry. “

Listening to Nicolas while I was away, returning to my room. Fugo and Ella are off today because we know we will eat at an Italian restaurant. I was supposed to make it up yesterday.

“Monicas were absent, so lunch was delivered to the orphanage early with help from Gil and Fritz, and we ate with adults at the orphanage.”

A few children increased to orphanages before the severe winter. Nikola seems to have spent time at the orphanage, listening to it from Vilma and Delia, and helping to prepare for the orphanage dinner preparation.

“Did anything change between orphanages and gray priests?”

“Speaking of which, Egmont’s side service was unusually coming to the orphanage today. Since I was going to add a new side service, I wanted to consult with Vilma first.”

My head quickly came to a conclusion on Egmont and the new side service.

“… Did you make the side service pregnant again?”

The blue priest Egmont, who devastated the temple library or made Lily become pregnant while sleeping in Jureve and throw it out to an orphanage, has no good impression. You may have found my voice sharp. Nicolas rushes and adds.

“That’s not the case. Because Hartmut has become a new chief priest, the amount of work has more than doubled compared to before, so there is a desire to have one priest who can do paperwork.

“Is that so”

Apparently, the side service was not made pregnant. Above all, he seems to be serious about the work he can distribute. It may be better to correct Egmont’s rating upward.

“It seems that you are thinking about whether you want to consult with the new priest or the new priest as a counsel for new side service.”

Certainly, it may seem confusing because both now work as the chief priest during the takeover period. But in other words, you can ask for work from either side.

“As a blue priest I don’t have a good impression of, Egmont has already been watched by Hartmut, so I think it’s easier to apply for it now.” ]

“I understand. I’ll tell Egmont’s side service”

The saint praise of Hartmut does not know where to end. “Haltomuth is a little daunting, but it’s not wrong, so it’s hard to correct,” Nicolas laughs.

“How did Gill and Fritz spend?”

“Two of them were rushing out with the gray priests at the orphanage. The current workshop seems to be very busy if we don’t finish by the social circle in winter.”

It is time to apply the last spurt so that you can see some books at the House of Lords. It seems that the two who work in the workshop chose to finish lunch quickly at the orphanage, rather than returning to the temple headroom for lunch.

“Please keep it secret because it is noted that Fran will know that you have eaten lunch to the orphanage.”

Since there is a proper room for the Lord, it is natural to eat there as a side serving, and it seems that Franc is beaten by the fact that acting as a side serving is more important than shortening the time. When Nicola said secretly, a chilly air drifted.

“I hear you, Nicolas”

“Ky!”

Nikola jumped up and looked back, frantic holding a wooden box, and Dermuel laughing smallly holding his mouth.

“Because you take your eyes away a little, you will immediately disturb your life. Be careful, Rosemine, too. The bad behavior of the Lord strongly affects the lower ones.”

The reason why the side servants neglect their lives by giving priority to efficiency seems to be my fault because they try to disturb their lives in order to start reading efficiently. I do not know that.

‘I am going to enter my room where Nicolas opened me, giving up my shoulders because I was bad. The moment I entered, I felt a soft and sweet scent.

“What?”

Stop and look around the room. However, nothing has changed in particular. I don’t feel any sweet smell anymore.

“What did you do, Rosemine?”

“… No, I’m sorry, I’m sure”

When I waved my head, I was asked to change into Monica and Nicola. And the side servants who have gone out give permission to go down to their room to change from outing and wearing to priesthood.

While everyone was changing clothes, I slowly looked around my room, drinking tea from Nicola. There is a sense of incongruity. I can’t say what’s different, but it feels something interesting.

For example, it seems that a mother entered a library in the Reino era and took the second book out of a pile of books that had been randomly stacked. If you clean it up, you can tell at a glance that you’ve entered it. However, there is no trace of someone entering, and there is almost no difference in the scene. I don’t know where it’s different, but I feel uncomfortable with the subtle creepiness that I can see a little different from the last time I used it.

…… What is different?

“Nikola, are you sure?”

“Yes”

“Did you enter my room while you were away?”

franc, who changed from outing clothes to gray priest’s clothes, came back and asked Nikola to ask. Nicolas leans over her head so that she never remembers it.

“No, there is no need to enter the Franco room, and if you are going to enter the room, please ask Gil or Fritz.”

“That’s right. I understand.”

I seemed to feel that Fran, who was not going to fall into the trap, felt something very similar to my current feelings.

“Fran, did you have anything?”

“I felt like the smell of the fragrance used by women was drifting in my room.”

Is it the same sweet scent I felt when I entered the room?

“I felt a bit of a sweet scent the moment I entered my room. Someone might have entered while I was away. I cleared my baggage to see if there was anything stolen. Then consult with the priest. ”

“I’m smart”

Fran went to pick up the key, and Zarm left the room to contact the chief priest. Immediately Dermuel convenes at the Ordnance with the escort knights who have returned to the castle. The temple head room became noisy at once.

“You may have been invaded by someone?”

“I can’t say clearly that this is missing or this position is different, but something is different.”

I also add that there is a sense of incongruity after coming back and that there is nothing that has disappeared as long as it is roughly confirmed. By the time the priest was thinking with a difficult face, the escort knight and civilian who were called at Ordnance also came in the beast.

“Rose Mine”

During the explanation to the priest, Monica approaches and calls out modestly.

“Vilma wants immediate visit”

“Isn’t it the gatekeeper you were suspicious about? Sir, I want to hear the story. Please put it in.”

Listening to the words of the chief priest, I give permission to enter the room. As soon as Vilma came in, she was astounded by the fact that there were too many people, and for a moment she was strengthened by the large number of men. I thought that it was okay because I can usually come to the temple head room recently, but it seems scary depending on the distance and number of people.

“Wilma, here. Has it happened that you couldn’t wait until the night report?”

I was guided to a place with as many girls as possible, and I encouraged me to talk. Vilma goes next to my sitting chair, compares me with the chief sitting in front of me with a pale face, and begins reporting.

“All the gray priests who had taken care of the gatekeepers disappeared.”

When the next person goes to the gate at the time of change, there seems to be no one. The gatekeeper is basically four people where the commoners come. And when the carriage enters, you speak to the gatekeeper and the two go to open the gate for the carriage. And one is going to the aristocratic area to announce the visitor, and the other is to protect the commoner’s gate. Someone is sure to be at the gate.

“The gray priests who are guardians have never suddenly disappeared. Then, according to the replacement guards, the gates for the carriages to pass were not properly closed.”

When I went to open the gate for the carriage after knowing our way back, it seems that the gate was not closed. To be precise, it was closed in a different way.

“That means you’ve been using a carriage while you’re away, right?”

“That is also secret,”

“Have all the four gray priests hidden and nothing secret?”

When I exhaled like I was amazed, the chief shook my head lightly.

“No, until you became the orphan director, the words of the gray priests in the orphanage were unlikely to reach the blue priests. In the past, secrets would have been protected if there were no gatekeepers.

Gray priests who are suspicious but cannot raise their opinions until they are asked questions. The skill to achieve the goal quickly without missing the opportunity to leave the room. Even if there is a subtle sense of incongruity, this is a clever way to find out what is missing.

The chief priest said that he had never been exposed in the previous temple.

“You said that there was a subtle sense of incongruity, but there was no report from Vilma, and if there was nothing for a few days, it would have been forgotten in everyday life, such as a slight incongruity.”

That may be the case. It feels uncomfortable. I would have forgotten when I went to sleep.

The priest becomes a difficult face while tapping the temple lightly.

“It’s probably an aristocratic work that assumes that no matter how many gray priests disappear, no one cares, and has the power to be erased without a trace.”

I remember the spectacle of the time when the priest had obscured the evidence against the side guards of the former temple head, and cold sweat was transmitted to the back. Did the gatekeepers of the four people disappear without a trace like that?

…… If the culprit was here, I might have felt angry.

“I know the blue priest, but I don’t know that the orphanage head is reporting to you every day. I went to the temple to see who the blue priest had visitors. It would be better to look immediately to see if anyone saw the coming carriage, and the culprit probably thought he had earned time by hiding it perfectly. “

I stood up to the priest’s words and looked back on Darmell. Is it something that you absolutely miss?

“Darmuel, Angelica. Contacting the soldiers who separated the gates of the downtown area by hand. Searching for the criminal who broke down my room. Please tell me to bring in information about the carriages that went in and out, and now you should be able to move quickly if you talk to Gunter in the North Gate. 19459002]

“Ha!”

Dermuel and Angelica jump out of the room immediately. I looked at Virma as he was.

“Vilma was informed and helped. Report that Guil had an intruder, and contact the Commercial Guild, Otmar, Gilberta, and Plantin firms. I’d like to ask if there is any sighting information. “

Otmar Shokai has a temple nearby. You might be watching something. Vilma gets up in my words and stands up again and again.

“And ask everyone in the orphanage. No one has seen a carriage in the midst of cleansing or when fetching water, or a gray heading for a visitor to the aristocratic area.” “No one has seen the priest, or any conversation, it can narrow down the time. I want more information now.”

“Lose Mine, I’m also heading to the orphanage. It would be difficult for Vilma to listen to everyone, and it’s the job of a civilian to find out about this situation.”

Figline goes forward with his stationery. You can see the color of your worries in the eyes of the young leaves, looking at what to do.

“I’ll leave it to you, Philine. Make sure you’re not scared of Dirk or Konrad.”

“I’m smart”

There was a possibility that the Konrad was turned off in some cases. It wouldn’t be another person for Figline. Filine, with a slightly tense smile, leaves the room with Vilma. Roderich grabbed his stationery as if he was impatient.

“Rosemine, me too …”

“Roderich is no good. I haven’t been to the orphanage so far, so I’ll just get everyone nervous. It’s best to leave it to Filine, who is used to the orphanage.” 19459002]

Gray priests don’t talk to the aristocrats who are overwhelmingly strong. Unless you are a well-established partner, you should basically close your mouth. It doesn’t make sense for Rhoderich to go.

“Ah …”

Haltomut picks up his stationery while looking at Rhoderich who is pale and says pale.

“That’s why I said that the orphanage, the workshop, and the merchants in the downtown area are all Rosemine-like limbs, so you can’t help them unless you are familiar with everything in the temple.” 19459002]

“What does Hartmut do?”

Hartmut laughed at Rhoderich’s question with a good feeling.

“Although you can ask at the orphanage, let me do the job I can only do. To call the blue priest and hear the story, you need the title of the priesthood”

The blue priest can be called by the priest or the temple chief, as Haltomut says. Even if you call it, it takes time to come and try to dodge the story. Hartmut, an aristocrat’s excellent writer, is perfect for listening to stories from blue priests.

“Relying on, Haltomut”

“Please leave it to me, Ferdinand-sama and Rosemine, please. I don’t know where Rosemine will affect me yet.”

Priestly disgruntled the words of Khartomut.

“I feel like I was forced to do the most troublesome work, but I understand. Use the room and the side service freely.”

“Excuse me, let’s go, Rotary”

Talk to one of the side servants whom the priest brought, and Hartmut leaves the room. I looked at Fran.

“Fran, let’s investigate thoroughly what has changed in this room. The other party wanted to achieve it even after erasing the gray priests. There was a sign that Fran’s room was also invaded. Is there anything that is missing or repositioned? ”

“What is in my room that aristocrats need …”

zaam raises his hand and stops the franc that he said.

“Is the aim not the key to open the key storage box? That’s the most important thing that the top-ranking franc manages. That is, there is something in the place where the key must be locked. I think there is a high possibility of being targeted. “

“Lose Mine, I’ve confirmed it earlier, but this time let’s focus again on where it’s locked”

When Monica looked up and looked up at the franc, he immediately went to his room to get the key and brought the key storage box.

‘I ’m sure you ’ll find it. When I stood up to check the bookcase again, the priest stopped saying “Please wait”.

“Rose Mine, leave it to the side to check what is visible, and find out where you can’t even see with your eyes”

“Where are you not sure with your eyes?”

I didn’t understand the meaning, and when I tilted my head, the chief slowly moved my hand.

“If the intruder is an aristocrat, you are not deprived of anything, but there is also the danger of being set with dangerous witchcraft. Check it out.”

I thought that the intruder was a thief. I didn’t have the idea of ​​being put on dangerous magical tools. At first glance, there should have been no loss or increase in this room.

“That’s the priest, how do you look up magical tools?”

“Thinning your magic power thinly and thinly. If you have a magical tool filled with other magical powers, can you perceive it as a foreign object?”

It seems to be similar to sensing the magical power of another person in the material. Then you know how.

“Some magic tools are activated when a certain amount of magic power is detected, so that only a small amount of magic power should be diluted with water and thinned.”

My brother, Cornelius, as well as my aides, are listening to the attention of the priest, with blinking eyes.

“Ferdinand is well aware of how to use such magical powers. There is no opportunity to carefully examine other people’s magical tools in everyday life.”

”The priest asked,“ It was necessary on a daily basis, ”looking down at the aide. I can’t hide my sigh, as I immediately know who created the living environment that must always be on the lookout for another person’s witchcraft.

“Now all the aides are standing by the wall.”

Since the magical power of everyone here is also a different thing, I want you to solidify as much as possible without getting in the way.

When the entourage stood by the wall, I took a deep breath and then spread my magic as thinly as possible. As the priest told me, I tried to explore the whole floor by reducing the concentration so that the magical power was diluted with water.

I felt magical powers that were not my own from the entourage standing close to the wall, the brother Eckhart standing behind the priest, and Justoks. Even if it is thinly spread, it feels like a slight rebound.

Strangely, there is almost no reaction to the magical power of the priest while sitting in the opposite chair. Maybe I’m too used to the priest’s magical power because of the spears I just got, and the many magical tools I wear.

There is no reaction even if it is spread thinly on the floor. I slowly lift up the magical power spread on the floor. Feeling the entourage solidified by the wall, the entourage of the chief in front of me, and the other repulsion of the magic power, I stared at the place where I felt the rebound and approached slowly.

“Rosemine?”

I look into the key storage box that Franc has. Several keys are lined up. One of them was the key to rebound.

And there is another place where I feel a rebound. I look at the altar and draw my lips.

“… There was a priesthood chief”

“Which?”

The Priest takes a leather glove that does not pass magical power and approaches it while holding it in his hand.

“The scriptures and their keys are not mine”

I don’t know what changed. It looked exactly the same. However, it seems that the magic powers registered are different, and the scriptures that are still on the shelf and the keys that are lined up in the storage box naturally repelled my magic power.

“What is the scripture and key? What is the purpose?”

“I don’t know the purpose of the criminal, but I am clear about my purpose.”

…… The criminal, forgiveness.
