Not long after the group of six people walked, when they came to the fork of the Garden Avenue in the Grancel area, a group of Royal Army soldiers responsible for patrol blocked their way.
"Hey, you guys. It is forbidden to visit the Albert Palace. This is the order just issued this morning. It must have been announced in Grancel Street." There is a person who looks like a captain in the team.
He spoke to several people.
The two regular guerrillas did not speak, but made a look and left it to the would-be guerrillas to negotiate.
"Huh?" Estelle hasn't reacted yet.
"Well, we are not citizens of the Royal Capital. We just passed through the Saint-Heim Gate and were preparing to go to Grancel." Joshua replied.
"Why, he's a traveler. He's still hiking in the streets when such terrorists are causing trouble. It's really leisurely." The patrol leader sighed, and then looked at Jin Ji, who was dressed as an oriental martial artist. He looked like
His bear-like figure is always so impressive.
The guerrillas present all knew that the so-called terrorists were actually agents disguised as agents from the Royal Army’s Intelligence Department. But it seemed that there were also differences within the Royal Army. At least the soldiers in front of them did not seem to know that the Intelligence Department was planning a series of
The inside story of the incident.
"Well, let's forget about the terrorists for now. What is Albert's Palace?" Estelle didn't even know such a famous tourist attraction. She was indeed a child from the countryside.
"I think it's the small palace of the Lieber royal family located in the eastern part of the Grancel region. I heard that it should be open to the public as a place to rest?" Professor Yalua asked.
"Unfortunately, entry is currently prohibited. It is currently used by the military as a search headquarters for terrorist attacks," the patrol leader of the Royal Army explained.
"Search the headquarters, right?"
Several guerrillas immediately thought of something, and Estelle subconsciously looked towards the east.
"Although the circulation paths around the Albert Palace are not blocked, if you don't want to be regarded as a terrorist, I advise you not to get close."
After finishing speaking, the patrols of the Royal Army left in front of several people in an orderly and uniform manner.
"It feels like there is a lot of security. But the more you tell me not to get closer, the more I want to get closer." Professor Yaluwa, who was watching the Royal Army's departure direction with his eyes, turned to look at Estelle and Joshua and continued.
He said, "How about it? Do you want to take a detour and go to the palace to have a look?"
Ling always felt that Professor Wiseman seemed to be getting more and more difficult to control his emotions, and he always wanted to cause trouble. This was probably the sequelae of Wiseman's excessive use of mental segmentation and stripping away his emotions. Let Esti
It would be of no benefit to the association for me and my group to contact Richard in advance.
"Well, although it has stimulated my curiosity..." Estelle hesitated.
"After all, I've just been warned, so it's better not to do it now." Joshua said to several people. If the terrorists mentioned by the soldiers are really the Royal Army in disguise, then taking the initiative to explore the information would be tantamount to provocation.
"But the Intelligence Ministry did it themselves, and then blamed it on the Guards..."
"Estil!" Joshua asked Estelle to stop talking.
If possible, try not to mention this matter. If you let them know accidentally, they will be implicated. Joshua leaned into Estelle's ear and whispered.
That's right. Estelle nodded.
Joshua and Estelle, what are you whispering about? Is it the previous attack?
Because Estelle always wanted to get close to Ling on the road before, so the two of them were really close. Even if Ling wanted to pretend not to hear, she couldn't, so she just let it go and intervened naturally.
.
Ah, Ling, you shouldn't have told Professor Yaruva about this. Then Estelle remembered that Ling was also a member of the Square Table Conference before.
Don't worry, I've kept it a secret for you.
Oh, that's good.
Although Ling said this to Joshua and Estelle, what is the truth? As the driving force behind the scenes, Uncle Wiseman probably knows the whole story better than anyone else.
"Huh? What did you say intelligence...?" Yaruva asked.
"Ah, uh-huh, nothing happened." Estelle said.
"That's it, let's go to the royal capital as soon as possible." Joshua also accompanied him and said.
"Well, although it's a pity, there's nothing we can do about it."
In terms of Estelle's acting skills, Ling would give her a score of 60. If Uncle Wiseman hadn't deliberately pretended not to know anything, how could he have deceived her.
Jin and Agathe followed the team without saying a word, keeping up the action with everyone.
Along the way, she encountered many new kinds of monsters. They were able to ignore the influence of the guided waves emitted by the lampposts and jump in front of passers-by. Estelle was quite surprised, but she didn't know if it was because of the guided waves.
, the strength of these monsters is not high. Basically, Estelle and Joshua can easily deal with it together. If there are a lot of them, Agathe will sometimes take action. As for the gold, this kind of low-level monsters will still take turns.
It was not up to him to solve the problem. He followed Professor Yalua to protect the safety of him, an "ordinary person".
As expected of an A-level guerrilla, he is really quite sharp. Even with a perfect disguise, he still senses something is wrong by intuition? If the professor's disguise is exposed, things may be a little troublesome. But Ling's worry may be
It's superfluous. From beginning to end, Professor Yalua never showed any demeanor that his status shouldn't have. As far as his acting skills are concerned, Uncle Wiseman can probably compete with Blubrand for who is the real actor.
After the group arrived at Grancel, the royal capital, they felt the festive atmosphere of the Queen's birthday and stopped in their tracks.
"This city is beautiful no matter when you see it. In terms of scale, I think the capitals of the Empire and the Republic are bigger, but Grancel exudes a sense of comfort."
Professor Rui praised.
"Well, I can't refute it. Although it's my first time to come to the Kingdom of Liber, I often go to the capital of the Republic. Compared with the fast-paced modern city, the ancient Grancel is probably more livable.
"Jin also nodded, agreeing with Professor Yalua's view.
"The imperial capital of Heimdall will not lose to the Republic in terms of modernization. Guide rail cars have become common there. Although the imperial capital covers a large area, it actually takes less than an hour to get from the easternmost gate to the westernmost gate.
So it won't give people the real feeling of being in a huge metropolis." Ling has also been to Heimdall several times, and she is quite familiar with the situation there.
"Hey, hey, I always feel happy when I hear foreigners say that." Estelle said happily.
This is the so-called national pride. Among the group of people, only Estelle can be considered a real Liberian. Agathe and his sister Misha wandered to the Ravennu village of Liber when they were very young.
Even he himself does not know where he was born. Among the remaining four people, one is from the Empire (Joshua), one is from Kezhou (Ling), one is from Yanzhou (Wiseman), and one is from the Republic (Jin).
)...This is really a veritable foreign sightseeing tour group.
"By the way, Professor, what are your next plans? Is there any problem with the accommodation expenses? Don't rely too much on Ling!" Estelle subconsciously thought that Ling helped Yalua pay for the accommodation expenses.
"Haha, actually I already have a goal. I plan to stay at a place called the Historical Museum." Yaluwa said to Estelle.
"Huh? There is such a place."
"That's a museum that displays excavated cultural relics and art," Joshua added.
"Yes, I plan to stay there temporarily as a visiting professor. Estelle-kun, Joshua-kun, Agathe-kun and Jin-kun, please come and play if you have time."
"Ugh) A place like a museum has a very restrictive atmosphere. If I go there, will you force me to study?" Estelle became a little nervous when it came to studying.
"Hehehe, as long as you are willing, I will teach you carefully."
"Ling doesn't mind being Estelle's teacher. Even if Estelle is a stupid student, I won't mind." In terms of her experience as an educator in guiding others, Ling Biarowa still has
Much richer. After all, compared to Yarua, who is a visiting professor at Imperial Academy of Sciences, she has really served as a teaching staff at Luray University of Technology for three years.
"Well...it's a big head." Estelle showed a distressed expression.
"It was just a joke. I think it's very interesting just to look at the exhibits. Well, I'll take my leave now."
"Joshua and Estelle, goodbye." Ling also waved and followed Yarua's footsteps.
Yarua and Ling soon left the Guerrillas quartet.
"Hey, I don't know how to put it. He is still as informal as ever. But since he can be a visiting professor... does this mean that he is quite a famous scholar?" Estelle said to Joshua.
"Well, it's possible. If you want to talk about famous scholars, Ling is the same. Not only Dr. Russell, but even Kirika-senpai knows about her. I always feel that there is no sense of reality." Joshua also sighed with emotion.
"Just, that's all!" Estelle also felt quite sorry that Ling left like this.
"That's enough for the small talk. Let's get down to business. Let's go to the association branch to say hello first?" Agathe's voice brought back the thoughts of Joshua and Estelle, including the first one.
Including Jin, who came to Liber for the first time, none of the three of them were familiar with Grancel. So this time it was Agathe who led the way.
Ling and Yarua did not go to any historical museum, but went to the Grancel Cathedral of the Qiyao Church in the West Block of the Royal Capital. The person who entertained them was Ka, who is in charge of the Qiyao Church in the entire Liber Kingdom.
Archbishop Lan.
"Not only the Rector of Picsion of Chase Chapel and the Rector of Dibbian of Laurent Chapel, but I didn't expect that Archbishop Callan of Grancel is also an old acquaintance of yours. So, why are you a renegade monk?
You can come to church to worship openly."
In Ling's original impression, associations and churches were incompatible with each other. But the feeling of harmony and harmony in front of her was too strange.
"Haha, this executor lady probably doesn't know something. It's just the arbitrariness of the Canonization Province. Our Ceremony Province is very sympathetic to the injustice suffered by Junior Wiseman. Don't worry, we won't leave you here.
The news was revealed to the Knights of the Hound Star Cup in the canonized province."
"Well, thank you very much, Senior Karan. Ling, you probably don't know, but I also obtained the position of bishop in the Codex Country before. I also served as the head of the Qiyao Church in a certain city's cathedral.
People," Wiseman explained.
In the year 1178 of the Qiyao Calendar, 13-year-old Wiseman was taken in by the church's gospel organization as an orphan from the Salt Pile Incident.
In the year 1180 of the Qiyao Calendar, 15-year-old Wiseman officially joined the Qiyao Church and took office as a trainee priest in the Ceremony Province.
In the year 1185 of the Qiyao Calendar, the 20-year-old Wiseman took office as the priest.
In the year 1190 of the Qiyao calendar, 25-year-old Wiseman was promoted to bishop.
In the year 1195 of the Qiyao calendar, 30-year-old Wiseman was excommunicated.
"There is no distinction between good and bad spells. Regardless of black magic or white magic, as long as it can save people, it is a good spell. I also agree with the concept proposed by junior Wiseman. And can humans get rid of ignorance and evolve to a higher stage?
This issue... is actually still being debated fiercely within the church, and it did not stop because Junior Wiseman was forced to leave."
Archbishop Karan's words seemed to reveal that the Qiyao Church was not monolithic. Who would have thought that even a scum like Wiseman would have sympathizers?
Archbishop Carla briefly introduced the work distribution of Qiyao Church. The Ceremony Department focuses on the white magic of the recovery system, while the Monk and Soldier Hall specializes in the black magic of the combat system. The Canonization Department dabbles in both but is not specialized in them.
Wiseman later added that there is no so-called major in the priests of the Canonized Province. It all depends on the direction of personal efforts, so their strength will be completely different. The knowledge of the Canonized Province is relatively broad, and they have learned a lot in order to recover ancient relics.
Knowledge, most people at the bishop level of the canonized province are senior scholars, that is, scholarly monks. Wiseman has the skills to play the pipe organ. Most of the knowledge about the Ring of Glory was learned during the church period, rather than joining
I learned about it from the leader after forming the association.
"So, the church knew about our association's plan to restart the Ring of Glory a long time ago?"
"Yes, but only for those of us at the top. Junior Wiseman has basically revealed the full picture of your ongoing gospel plan to us. The overall opinion of the Ministry of Ceremony is that allowing humans to re-experience the greatness of the treasure can deepen their
Belief in the goddess of the sky is conducive to the peace and stability of the mainland. In addition, since the goddess plans to recover the treasure, we have no reason to stop your association." Archbishop Karan knew more than Ling imagined.
More. This gray-haired old man does not seem to be a simple evangelist. Like Wiseman, Karan has a strong mental defense, and her powers cannot peek into any information.
"Grandpa Karan, are you mistaken? The leader is not the sky goddess Edes in the teachings of your Qiyao Church." Ling has met the leader, not just once. Even though she has no idea about the teachings of the Qiyao Church.
I only have a superficial understanding and know that the two are not the same thing at all.
"Haha, I still know that your snake leader is not Eds, but there is no doubt about the return of the objects to their original owners. Over the past thousand years, our church has conducted countless discussions on the fate of the seven treasures.
No consensus was reached during the discussion. The Canonization Province tends to use the power of the Supreme Treasure for its own use, but our Ceremony Province believes that human development should not rely too much on the power of the Supreme Treasure, but should rely on our own wisdom and hard work to move towards the future.
.This time around, we have undoubtedly taken the lead in restarting the Ring of Supreme Treasure in the Sky."
Next, in front of Archbishop Callan, Wiseman told Ling a lot of secrets.
Ling didn't know until today from Wiseman that it turned out that the Rector of the Lorente Chapel was the contact person who passed on the information about Joshua to Wiseman.
Every time he went to church, Joshua would report recent events to the rector of Dibion based on the hints planted by Wiseman in his deep consciousness.
But to be precise, the compassionate Rector of Dibion is fundamentally different from Wiseman. He has no ill intentions towards Joshua at all. It's just that Wiseman told him the truth about the patient "Joshua"
This compatriot from the Ceremony Province later asked him to participate in the treatment of Joshua. Cooperating with Wiseman to use magic to save a child with a broken mind was also a valuable clinical practice for Dean Dibion.
Joshua was able to recover healthily, and the care of the Rector of Dubaien over the past five years was also an important factor.
In the time that followed, Professor Wiseman and Archbishop Callan talked a lot about holy scriptures and ordinances. Even Ling was confused about these contents that were beyond her own knowledge. But at least she was confused.
One thing was known from Wiseman’s happy expression. Although Wiseman had nominally left the church seven years ago, he was still concerned about this incident that lasted throughout his boyhood and youth, from the age of thirteen to the age of three.
At ten years old and having worked in the organization for eighteen years, she is still full of nostalgia. This is probably the first time that Ling has seen Wiseman show such emotions that are not expected of an "evil person".
Wiseman and Callan chatted until nearly dusk before Wiseman took Lingcai and left the Grancel Cathedral. When leaving, due to the autograph provided by Archbishop Callan on the passport, the two
People's identification has also become more perfect.
The two of them went to the historical museum in the royal capital to go through the formalities and checked in for the time being.
"I didn't expect you have such a side, Professor."
"Haha, twenty years ago, when I just left the Northumbria Autonomous Prefecture and went to Codex Country alone, Senior Karan took good care of me. I know that Ling, as a researcher, you really want to go to Grancel.
Go under the Great Cathedral to see the starting place () as the replica of the Arcana of Time Star Cup, to visit the embodiment of the planet's will and the source of the original stigmata power, but this is not the right time at the moment. In the future
I will tell you the locations of other starting places created by Qiyao Church."
"Uncle Wiseman, you don't want to put Archbishop Callan at risk, right? Just having private contact with you will become a lever for the Star Cup Knights to take action. Don't worry, I can distinguish the important from the important. Gospel Plan
That is the top priority right now.”
"That's good if you think so. If there is anything you don't understand about the gospel plan, or if you have any other doubts, I can tell you all the information I know."
Well, even if Wiseman said so, Ling didn't have anything in particular to ask him. After all, Ling's area of expertise is basic scientific research, which is completely incompatible with the professor's area of expertise, magic research.
No, wait, it's not like there isn't.
Wiseman seemed to have said before that he could play the organ? Maybe it would be good to learn it as a hobby?
