[Subquest – Qualifications of a Hero]
[Carina Elliott is not yet worthy of being a hero. Please help me acquire the legacy of my ancestors to connect with God.]
[Reward – terminal connection, spiritual power +2]
‘Huh, did it appear this way?’
The terminal connection that God spoke of. In order to clear the main quest, you must find heroes and connect the terminal.
The reason I came here was because I thought Karina would be worthy of being a hero.
But was it still not enough?
‘Legacy of our ancestors… … .’
“Why are you doing that? “What are you thinking like that?”
“Oh, no. Lorez told me that he saw some suspicious people the other day. That’s why I looked for it even when the black pillar of light unfolded. “At that time, Lorez was injured in a fight with the remnants of the Black Star, so I came to say hello.”
Karina nods. I gave it a rough look, but it doesn’t seem like there’s anything suspicious about it.
“The delegation is leaving soon.”
“I know. “I’m planning to go to Brilliant soon.”
“What I said last time. “Do you remember?”
“Did you tell me to come to Rosaria?”
“okay. “I told you that His Majesty would like to see you.”
“that’s right. “Tell them I’m going.”
“There’s something else I’d like to ask of you.”
“ask?”
“Aren’t you the gravedigger?”
“Right.”
“I recently discovered the tombs of ancestral wizards in Rosaria.”
Is this why a subquest appeared to me?
All of the sub-quests so far have appeared in cases involving ghosts in the graveyard.
Along with the main quest, perhaps this is also the case.
“The kingdom’s investigation team is investigating, but no progress has been made so far. So I want to ask you for help.”
“Is that okay? “It’s the tomb of an ancestor?”
“I can trust you. wren.”
“good. “I will help you.”
“Thank you. I feel like I always get help from you. From Avitrari until now.”
If Karina hadn’t used the pseudonym Gongsia and hidden her identity in Avitrari, she probably wouldn’t have needed my help.
In fact, in the fight with Flake at the end, I stopped Karina from stepping forward, so it got into that situation. If Karina had fought, Flake probably wouldn’t have been able to use his strength properly.
“During the time of Avitrari, my horizons were wide.”
“no.”
Karina suddenly came over and hugged me.
“uh?”
In a sudden situation, my body stiffened against my will.
“thanks. Everything you’ve done so far. “I wanted to say that.”
After saying that, Karina returned to her original position.
Her cheeks were slightly red as she lowered her head slightly. Is my face like that now? I can’t figure out what to say in this situation.
“uh… … . okay.”
“… … “Let’s just go.”
“… Yes, that’s right.”
I returned to where the Brilliant delegation was.
Busy people moving around. Their faces are all very flushed.
“Dominic. “Do you really like going back?”
“Wow! General. “I’m sick of being outside of Brilliant now.”
“Tsk tsk. The vice-captain was so weak that he got away with it. To the Knights of the Golden Lion, this is nothing! Isn’t that right? “General?”
Andrew, who was next to me, said something.
“okay. right. “Jeffman, you seem to be in a pretty good mood too?”
“Can’t you see your mother?”
“but. “When I get back, I’ll go see you sometime.”
“Come anytime. We will prepare it properly. General.”
Jeffman grits his teeth and speaks with determined eyes. Are we going to some kind of war?
‘I wanted to stay until the Holy Kingdom’s conclave ended, but I guess I won’t be able to.’
The election of the Pope takes place in a conclave.
There is no way to just wait in a situation where it is unknown how long the conclave will last, which will never end if differences of opinion are not reconciled.
If I didn’t go back, the kingdom’s delegation couldn’t move either, so I had no choice but to go back first.
‘Aston should go up to the Pope.’
The conclave cannot be overthrown, and since I supported Aston, which played a major role in this war, the impact will be quite large.
Moreover, since revelation from God was mentioned, it cannot be ignored.
‘It’s out of my hands now.’
I can only hope that Aston will take care of it.

A large dome-shaped space. Darkness and a gloomy atmosphere surround the space. Rocks and shells embedded in the wall. Sand dust blowing with the wind falls gently.
A huge round table made of crystal and black and blue chairs in the center.
There are a total of seven chairs, but only six people are seated.
The only light pushing away the darkness of this space is the crescent-shaped candle in the center of the table.
Marita Vanidi, wearing a black velvet dress, opens her mouth in frustration.
“also! also! That seed of death got in the way! Did I tell you? “Rust shouldn’t be left to that bastard.”
“Ugly. Rust. won “If it were me.”
Beniam, dressed in black silk, sits down on the biggest chair there and speaks.
“shut up! “He was buried in that mass of fat and couldn’t even move.”
“Plan, do.”
“Marita, there is no need to be angry. “This time, the variables were too big.”
‘Snobish’, wearing leather clothes with horns on his shoulders and gold decorations on his chest, speaks quietly.
“You used runes, right? Ren Argen used divine magic that was thought to have disappeared. “I don’t know if I had known in advance, but as long as I didn’t know, it was still dangerous no matter which of us went.”
“joy! “If it were my prophecy, it wouldn’t have been so vain.”
“Rust… , no. Even Retina was affected by that holy magic. A being that wasn’t just dead was extinct. “This was an unavoidable variable.”
Grant and Ison nodded at Snobish’s words.
“So you’re saying we’re just going to watch it like this!”
A red-haired man slams the table and jumps up.
He, wearing black armor, shouts with an expression of both anger and hatred.
“How many times have you been hit by that guy already? “I will go and kill that guy right away!!”
“Calm down, Reiji.”
Aison, with pale, red skin and a pointed expression, speaks sharply.
“If I’m reckless like you, I’ll end up in trouble.”
“joy! “It’s better than what you, Aison, did as a crow in the North.”
“Both of you, stop it.”
The two people gritted their teeth and stopped talking due to Snobish’s dissuasion.
“I heard that Ren Argen is leaving for the Empire soon.”
“Then let’s play Brilliant then?”
Reiji laughs loudly at Marita’s question and stands up again.
“hahahahaha!! I! I’ll go! “I will completely destroy Brilliant.”
“No, we don’t play Brilliant.”
“What are you talking about? “Didn’t you mean to attack this guy’s base while Ren Argen is away?”
“Do you think that’s the main base? Brilliant is just a place where he lived. Look far away. “Even if Brilliant disappears, we may be able to avoid Ren Argen’s wrath, but it will be difficult to conquer the continent.”
“Then where should we hit?”
“I hit the Positirium of the Holy Kingdom.”
The executives frowned at Snobish’s words.
Marita asked again if she didn’t understand that opinion.
“If that’s the case, wouldn’t you rather hit Bastian?”
“A new Pope will soon be elected to the Holy Land. “Even if he is not as strong as the previous Pope, Doukas, if the Pope is elected, God’s blessing will be upon the entire Holy Kingdom for a while.”
“Well, if we wake up with our own strength-.”
“Ren Argen has unleashed the power of the relic. The power of Rahman’s spear was beyond imagination. “If the newly elected Pope uses Rahman’s spear, there is a possibility that things will go wrong again.”
“but… … .”
Marita also listened and nodded as if she understood.
“Information has arrived that the third relic of the Holy Kingdom is hidden in the Positirium.”
From Noble mtl dot com
“what? Really?”
“okay.”
“Then is this theft of a holy relic again?”
“No, this time is a little different.”
A wicked smile appears on Snobish’s lips.
“Positirium, a prison for criminals. “I plan to use the saint trapped there.”

Everyone in the delegation that came to pay tribute returned.
The same goes for Brilliant.
The delegation that returned to the kingdom was even busier for a while.
Because of the report of the events that took place in the Holy Kingdom and the subsequent handling of the affairs.
In particular, Ren, who went as a representative of the delegation to commemorate the Holy Kingdom’s Pope, returned as a great hero who prevented the destruction of the Holy Kingdom.
The 2nd and 3rd princes, as well as the royal family’s high-ranking officials, all gathered in the royal castle’s conference room and heard everything from Ren about what happened in the castle.
“her… … .”
“The devil again from the Black Star… … .”
“Ren, really… “Did you really receive revelation from God?”
Louise asks in disbelief.
“It seems like the Black Star is starting to show its power in earnest.”
The reason why Ren gathered the high-ranking nobles of the royal family like this was to raise awareness about Brilliant.
‘Even Seongguk almost fell victim to Blackseong’s scheme. If it’s a Brilliant that hasn’t ripened yet, there’s a high chance it will collapse at any time.’
Although the crisis in the Holy Kingdom began when Ren killed the Pope, it was a problem that would eventually arise.
The Pope’s condition was already very bad.
“We need to quickly strengthen Brilliant’s power.”
“I agree with the need to strengthen military forces, but we cannot increase support for the military right now.”
Alan stepped forward and shook his head.
“Strengthening the military’s power is important, but it cannot be achieved overnight. Moreover, if you forcibly conscript soldiers and focus on military power, the kingdom will eventually collapse.”
“Aren’t you trying to check the power being concentrated on Louise?”
1Princess Jane Hertia snorted and refuted Alan’s words.
“What do you mean! “Do not distort His Highness’s intentions!”
“you’re right. “Even if you are a princess, you cannot tolerate such remarks.”
The nobles on Alan’s side stand up in anger.
“Then isn’t that it? In the current situation, we must give strength to the military! Do you really think it is time to focus our efforts on internal affairs?”
“Who said that we would focus our efforts on internal affairs? His Majesty the Second Prince clearly said that it is not a good idea to blindly invest power in the military… … .”
“Please stop.”
Ren narrowed his eyes and slammed the table.
The nobles, who had become mute in an instant, looked at Ren and sat down again.
With just one word from Ren, the atmosphere in the conference room calmed down and everyone’s eyes turned to him.
Louise, Allan, and the Minister of Protocol. I wait for Ren to open his mouth.
Even if they couldn’t clearly see it, they all knew it. That Ren’s decision will soon be similar to the direction of the final decision of this meeting.
His phase changes every time he moves. Ren’s reputation and influence, which have now only grown distantly, have reached a level that even Brilliant’s most savvy successors cannot ignore.
“Prince Alan has a point. However, now is not the time to fight like this internally.”
It is unlikely that they are unaware of the crisis on the continent. However, the feelings felt by those who actually faced the devil in front of them and those who did not are incomparable.
Perhaps, if any of them had been to the Holy Kingdom, they would not have taken this attitude.
“The Holy Kingdom was almost destroyed. Think about the last Brillant raid. If that plan had happened in Brilliant, there’s a 10 out of 10 chance that everyone in the kingdom would have died. “Everything.”
Ren looked at them with a very disappointed face and continued speaking.
“I plan to create a magic corps.”
“Magic… “A corps?”
Louise and Alan look at Ren in surprise. Brilliant and magic corps. Even wizards have almost dried up and there is no one to teach them.
“I have a way.”
Magic corps.
It was a plan that Ren had been thinking about as soon as he stopped by Decane after Brilliant’s return.
