Episode 401 The Second Temple (7)

“Hmm.”

When Ray opened his eyes, Aira approached as if he had been waiting.

“Are you out of your mind?”

There was even a slight tear in the face of the worried question.

he shifted his gaze.

Then, not only Aira but all the high elves were looking at him.

Their expressions were different.

Admire the appearance of the beautifully finished temple that is beyond reproach.

I was surprised to see the crude but warm brazier.

Did they build temples and altars on their behalf when they were unable to do anything?

Did you mean that he built the monstrously huge cabin by himself?

I was in awe of him for taking on all the hardships alone.

No matter how arrogant they may be, high elves are originally pure beings.

Some people shed tears thinking about the hard work, while others kept their mouth shut.

“...Good job.”

I just nodded once at Aira’s words.

saw them

I met eyes with them.

Standing in front of the blue eyes, the high elves trembled.

He was talking to them.

Okay.

Keep your head up because it’s okay.

The consolation that could not even be said was embedded in their hearts like a sword.

His sword, polished by himself, was sharp enough to slash through the walls of arrogance that had been built up over the years.

The high elves bowed their heads to him as he consoled and embraced them, who were unable to help them.

Unable to abandon their arrogance, they bowed their heavy heads for one human being.

A sense of piety pervaded the newly built temple.

* * *

Ray sat the high elves at a small round table inside the temple.

He realized that there is a certain rule by catching the monsters that flowed out of the gate several times.

when the gate opens and closes.

When it opens, it is when something goes wrong with the altar.

And when it closed, it was time to control the mana flowed from the altar or make the existence that is the backbone of the gate disappear.

When a huge gate opens in front of the first shrine.

When monsters appeared in it, he cut thousands and tens of thousands of monsters.

After that, whenever monsters appeared, they broke the bead-shaped monsters.

When the center was removed, even if the gate was open, no new monsters had ever appeared.

A monster that becomes the backbone.

That was the first condition for a monster to come out of the gate.

Ray said to the high elves.

“This is just information that has been inferred from the situation so far, but several conditions are necessary for the monster to escape from the gate. The gate should be open and there should be a monster to play a pivotal role. When these two conditions are met, the monsters will come out of the gate.”

He explained what he realized.

Then the high elves nodded.

It was a story full of possibilities.

In addition, monsters appeared only when two conditions were met.

If what he said is true, from now on, the guard against the gate should be strengthened a little more.

Making a magic circle without knowing about it, as Aira said, was nonsensical.

“I’ll try.”

“While Ray memorizes, we finish the rough design. Let Sert take the left board and Heprion take the right board. I will design the entire magic circle.”

“All right! The moment when we all work together as one! The light of romance will shine on us!”

“It was bullshit.”

Aira cut his words short and stood at the altar.

* * *

While the three high elves put their heads together and worked hard on the design, Ray was intent on learning the basics of the magic circle.

he opened the book

The time was two weeks, but all the books Aira handed over boasted the thickness of each one.

It was an amount that would have taken more than a month for normal wizards to read one properly.

It did not take too long for Hana Ray to open and close a book.

Since I had some understanding of the magic circle, the magic books on the basics went into my head as soon as I touched them.

There were many books piled up beside him.

The speed of turning the pages was so fast that even Sert, who was absorbed in the design, stuck out his tongue and looked at it.

In the end, before three hours had passed, Ray had memorized the basics of the magic circle perfectly.

Even Aira, who was well aware of Ray’s wisdom, widened her eyes.

Heprion, who had been crying out for hard work and romance, glanced up at the sky with a puzzled expression.

“It seems that the sky doesn’t know romance.”

* * * As

material support from the upper half of Hafman decreased, the Seongguk fell on fire.

Marquis Harold said as if he was embarrassed.

“It’s a big deal. If Hafman’s upper ranks turn their backs, we won’t even have food to feed our soldiers.”

Although Sanggye, which was destroyed by the dark forces, is slowly reviving, the influence of the upper half of the upper class is still strong.

I tried to do it because I wanted to create an independent business, but when it came to the poison, Seong-guk became completely confused.

In preparation for war, they gathered troops, and as the number of soldiers increased, they also needed a lot of food.

Conversely, if the material is reduced, the soldiers will leave, and the stored power will be reduced accordingly.

The breath of the Holy Kingdom was held by the top half of the half man.

Eclay said.

“It was my mistake, so I must apologize. No matter how much I wanted to put the sanghoe on the track, I was too greedy.”

Then the high priest bowed his head and stepped out.

“The pope does not have to come out with a low profile. I will take care of this myself.”

she waved her hand.

“no. Since the letter was sent in the name of the pope, it is right for me, the pope, to apologize. Besides, Hafman will also not accept the apology made by the high priest.”

“How can a mere merchant receive an apology from His Holiness the Pope...”

“It is a mere merchant, but it is safe to say that the current offset is made by the Hafman Chamber of Commerce. Since it was the upper house that the saint intervened in, it became the cause of the trouble that they were tempted by it and overdoing it.”

Marquis Harold added in a small voice.

“He is a profit-seeking merchant by nature. If you promise something along with the letter, I wonder if it will develop into a better relationship.”

Eclay nodded.

“Consider.”

Seongguk was a country so huge that it could be called a great country.

However, since they were in a situation where they regretted it, I had no choice but to take a long look at the notice of the upper house.

As much as that, Hafman Sanghoe was an upper class company that had an unrivaled position in Sanggye, and the Seongguk living with their support could not dare to go against their planting.

Eclay eventually sent a letter of apology to Hafman Corporation for the past.

Even in all the history of the Holy Kingdom, there has never been a time when the pope has apologized to a single merchant.

They had no choice but to go out with tears in their eyes.

It was the moment when the majesty of the upper half of the half was proved again.
