409 Threats and Appreciations

"Apparently, you're right, Ars"

"Wow, is there a bad feeling in there? So Naja took all the magic that the murdered priest had?"

"Yes, I checked with the center and it seems to be for sure"

"Hmm, this has been a big deal, Archbishop Paul"

"Yes, it's a matter of origin."

Based on what Lucica and Jane told me, I decided to talk to Archbishop Paul about Naja.

It was only a hypothesis, noting that I had no idea what the truth was, and then I told him what I thought.

Soon Archbishop Paul moved to confirm that hypothesis.

And I concluded as a church.

My hypothesis is correct.

"So is that it after all? Does that mean Naja can use the magic team of the naming ritual? He said he got the means to name it without going through the church."

"Right. I guess that's what all the mercenaries who belong to the Marshall Mercenaries can do with their magic. The Church makes sure that there is no disorderly naming to disrupt society. There is no fact that the Church gave its name to the mercenaries of that mercenary regiment."

"Then Naja named the mercenaries herself, didn't she? And now the mercenaries can use the magic that Naja can use. It's settled."

"It's been a pain in the ass. I had no idea you had anything else to steal out of the way sacred rituals were performed."

"Haha. Well, couldn't I tell you about people, too? But if you practice imitation so that you can use magic formations, won't anyone be able to name them?

"That's not so easy to imitate. You're the anomaly, Ars, who can be named after just seeing it once at the baptism ceremony."

"No, he said it would be done if you exchanged it. I could have done it."

"Absolutely. But say that about you. None of us know about other rituals, right? Maybe a guy named Naja could even use it."

"Is it possible to use the inheritance ritual? So mercenary groups are not transitory, but groups with inheritable powers."

Naja's [collection] is not just a substitute for magic bags.

I could see that clearly.

That is a terrible skill that also takes away the magic and inheritance rights of nobles and knights.

As far as Naja can currently be expected, she has also taken her abilities from the priests of the Church along with the throne of the Doren royal family and the throne of the head of the Hekail family, as well as the power of the knights of the Gizanian family and the power of several other knights.

What I took from the priest was a tremendous amount of magic from the local inhabitants, with which it is possible that recovery magic could probably also be used at the moment.

but more troublesome than that was the naming ritual used in baptisms etc.

If you believe Archbishop Paul's testimony that the Church is not involved in the fact that all the mercenaries in the Marshall mercenary regiment can use magic, Naja herself would have done so.

Probably named each of the mercenaries with a magic formation against them.

For example, Naja's position within the Marshall mercenary regiment would have been the same as promised.

Anyway, he's the one who gave me the power.

Because I'm just saying that Naja once did the same thing I did to fight the noble army in the unrest in Barca.

Lucica and Jane said the old Naja didn't look like she could bind a mercenary regiment, but if she could name it, it would be pretty easy to make them listen.

Anyway, if you say something disobedient, you can take your name.

Even if this is not the case, a group can also be brought together by imposing sanctions by force.

No, is that a little out of chronology?

It should have been information that the mercenaries had already been able to use their magic when the Marshall Mercenaries destroyed the Hekails.

If so, does that mean that we could have been named since before?

If you seized and occupied an even more important base after the destruction of the Hekail family, and attacked the church there, the story will be miseaten.

If so, maybe you've already had experience attacking churches somewhere before?

So, I got a naming ritual, but that's when I learned I could [collect] magic paths from local residents.

Isn't that why you aimed to reap the benefits of further magic paths with priests from churches with important bases and many local inhabitants in your hands?

"... in other words, Naja will continue to target the church. Is that what you're trying to say, Ars?

"Perhaps. The church is built on every noble territory. To that end, we are renouncing the use of force to avoid unnecessary indulgence. If you take it to Naja, it wouldn't be strange if it looked like plenty of stuffed meat offered defenselessly. If so, no wonder there are further church raids"

"Okay. Let's deal with this as soon as possible."

There may be imminent danger to the Church.

When I told Archbishop Paul about it, he immediately moved on to the measures.

I hope the church deals with good things and keeps Naja down, but what will happen?

Nevertheless, I thought again.

I knew exactly how dangerous it was to use the named magic formations on their own to increase the number of subordinations that could use magic.

Moreover, the less it weighs in any way on history, tradition, etc. as a knight or aristocrat, the more it becomes a threat.

I wonder if I can help but say that this is like a demon.

Well, Archbishop Paul told me I was one of them.

How dare Carlos try to miss me, a threat that suddenly appeared then, and I'm still impressed.

Because if I were Carlos' position, it would be a dangerous bomb that I would want to end without question.

Now that I was thanking Carlos for his divine response, I hoped that the Church would respond well to Naja.
