489 Determination of absence of the parties

"I'm home, Lion. Didn't this one change?

"Welcome back, Master Ars. Right. So far there's no information about new immortals in or around the kingdom of Fontana."

"That's good"

"You wouldn't be able to say that. There seems to be a lot of confusion when only information comes out that you've lost contact with the Holy City, right? What do you do?

"... right. It's been about 10 days since the Sacred Capital disappeared, but no pope or cardinal has shown up to use anything [Divine Forwarding], has it?

"Yes, unfortunately, so far only Archbishop Paul is known to survive in the Church's cadres. It's just that Archbishop Paul can still be in God's realm, right?

"Right. We're taking the labyrinth nucleus back from the basement of the Holy City, just as we were returning to the earth. I'm still in God."

"Then shouldn't we arrange for you to return soon? Do you have any idea not to do that?

"For once. Oh, looks like you're ready. Do you want to go?"

A little time has passed since the annihilation of the Holy City and Naja's crusade was a success.

I succeeded in returning safely to the Kingdom of Fontana.

After resting his body for a bit, he is reunited with Lion in the city of Fontana for an exchange of information.

When Lion compiled the information coming up from all over the place, there still seems to be confusion outside the Kingdom of Fontana.

But this is just the beginning.

There is no other place where information is communicated faster than Fontana, and it takes time to know the current situation correctly.

It can be expected that there will be greater confusion from now on.

The impact needs to be curtailed, at least within Fontana alone.

To that end, I've decided to deal with what I can do now.

The first step was a glimpse with the king of Fontana.

Garod Fontana, king of Fontana, has already completed his baptism ceremony and is now taught by Lion as Fu.

If you ask me, I'm in the middle of a study, but it doesn't make any difference that I'm already at the top of this country at the moment.

I officially applied to the king for a look, albeit formal.

They're ready for that.

I will go with Lion during the sight of the newly created new Castle of Fontana.

I opened the door. There was Garrod sitting on the throne.

Say hello to that Garrod, petition this opinion, and get permission in that petition.

"… so the Holy City, the main mountain of the Church, has vanished. But we have managed to re-seal the king of the resurrected immortals and have succeeded in destroying all the new immortals. But I can't even be happy. Early restoration of the church is desired. To that end, I would like permission to set up a gateway with the divine world in this great church in Fontana."

"Uh, yeah. Not..., okay. Measure it well, Ars von Barca"

"Thank you. However, it is expected that there will be major disruption even if the church is to be rebuilt anew. To this end, we also intend to work more closely together on the operation of the Church in the future. How would the king like to think about that?

"There must be no confusion in the Kingdom of Fontana. That would be good."

"Thank you. We'll make arrangements soon."

"Um, I asked you to."

It is Archbishop Paul who is considered the most powerful remaining church official in the present situation.

Its Archbishop Paul had his home in the Kingdom of Fontana to the north, not in the centre of a church called the Holy Capital.

And he has a proven track record and merit of rushing to the divine realm without regard for his own dangers during the crisis in the Holy City.

Then it would be better to top the church where its Archbishop Paul was based and rebuild it.

That means, of course, that the cathedral in the city of Fontana will be.

Church officials conclude on their own in the absence with the theory that

Get permission from the Fontana family as a backup for that.

Of course, I've included this in the Garrod beforehand, so I got permission easily.

So, get the big nickname of working with the Church all the time.

This also means that in the future this one can speak out about the operation of the Church, whether inside Fontana or outside the country.

That, in other words, amounts to dragging a neutral institution into its fellow citizens, which until now has maintained a constant distance from any existing force.

The influence of the Church is endless.

It can be said that for nobles and knights it depends on the presence or absence of the Church to be able to connect its power to the next generation.

It will also be important in the operation of the city.

Infrastructures such as [washing] and [ignition], [lighting] and [drinking water] are all supported by the life magic given by the church.

Moreover, the salt currently in circulation also has a larger church sales network.

In other words, without the church, the operation of the territory would undoubtedly lean.

Of course, it may be possible to deal with it without it, but it will still not work as before.

No matter how powerful the aristocrats may be, they cannot escape its influence.

"Okay. I took a pledge from the king. We need to keep up with the church."

"But you shouldn't be too radical. Please persuade the new Pope Paul firmly, Master Ars."

"I know, Lion. Neither do I want to be hostile to Pope Paul."

The sight with Garrod is over, and me and Lion will talk to each other.

Soon afterwards, I implanted the labyrinth nucleus of the Holy City in the basement of the Cathedral and headed into the divine realm.
