On the seventh day of the primary week of the ninth month, the “Coalition Military for the Restoration of the Holy Lands” departed Alhambra and marched in direction of the Elven base of operation, the Sahara Desert.

In comparison with earlier marches, the velocity of this one was comparatively sluggish. In spite of everything, by no means earlier than in all of Halkeginian historical past had a drive of this massive a scale been organized.

Within the Sahara, with no appropriate cities, it was tough to take care of provide strains. The blazing solar hanging over the heads of the marching troops ruthlessly stole the troopers’ power.

However even in these extreme circumstances, you didn’t see the slightest drop within the military’s morale. As a result of it wasn’t a Halkeginian civil battle, it was a “Holy Warfare”, given and guided by the gods.

“We are able to’t cease marching! For Halkeginia’s future, all of us should bravely advance. Ahead, Ahead!”

Using on the again of a unicorn and personally main the military, Henrietta, sporting a pure white gown, raised her employees excessive to encourage the troops.

Since Henrietta led from the entrance strains, Tristain’s lords naturally couldn’t swagger round within the rear. Each considered one of them crowded ahead attempting to out-do one another, voicing their devotion to the royal household.

“Lately there have been increasingly hangers-on across the queen.”

Prime Minister Mazarin stated as he urge his horse subsequent to Henrietta.

“Are you being sarcastic with me, Cardinal?”

“Completely not, I’m simply feeling completely satisfied at how Your Majesty has matured.”

“You may’t be incorrect. I’ve at all times wished for this matter to be peacefully resolved.”

Henrietta’s tone was fully severe.

“I’ve already pledged to the Founder, I refuse to launch one other pointless battle.”

“After all the Pope additionally feels the identical. Ultimately, the ’Coalition Military for the Restoration of the Holy Lands’ and the Bearers of the Void, are simply insurance coverage for peaceable negotiations.

“If that is true, then it’s nice….”

Using her unicorn, Henrietta sighed to herself.

Henrietta was unable to find the Pope’s true intentions throughout their dialog in Alhambra.

The Pope was undoubtedly hiding some main secrets and techniques associated to the “Holy Land”. In actuality, the specter of the land rising that Halkeginia was dealing with wasn’t extensively recognized. It was nice, even when the magical system within the Holy Lands was a lie. That was the one factor that Henrietta, because the queen of a rustic, might pin her hopes on.

Nonetheless, if the Pope endured in beginning a “Holy Warfare” with the Elves, Henrietta would open negotiations with Elves by herself, with a transparent conscience. Identical to when she negotiated with King Joseph of Gallia, she would solely be accompanied by Agnes.

On the floor she actively ready for the Holy Warfare, however actually that was simply to cope with Romalia, and it was higher than doing nothing. After all, this might simply be the delusions of somewhat woman, because it was potential that her plan already had been seen by way of by the Pope.

Wanting up on the infinite blue sky of the Sahara, Henrietta immediately considered her most necessary buddy.

“Louise, I actually envy you.”

You may chase the one you love sweetheart, freely hovering by way of the blue sky. Since I used to be little, I don’t know the way a lot I’ve regarded to you, how a lot I’ve envied you….

If I wasn’t Tristain’s princess… maybe I might additionally comply with my coronary heart, like Louise.

“No, I simply lack braveness.”

To resolve to surrender all the pieces, and in addition fly guided by your coronary heart, to the aspect of the one you’re keen on… The type of one who individuals admire for his or her fixed bravery and motion, that’s Louise’s allure, and one thing Henrietta might by no means mimic. Actually Saito would even be enchanted somewhat….

Henrietta quietly sighed once more.

Mazarin, unable to face it anymore, quietly stated.

“Your Majesty, you shouldn’t be like this in entrance of the troopers.”

“I do know, Cardinal.”

Henrietta corrected her posture whereas driving on her unicorn.

There was a cavalry soldier from the entrance of the Tristain forces, that kicked up a mud storm because it got here.

The one urging her horse ahead was Agnes, the captain on the Musketeer Corps.

“Your Majesty, I’ve an pressing report!”

“What’s it, Agnes?”

Henrietta inquired with out damaging her cool and dignified look.

The dragon knights we dispatched as scouts report that they found an enormous vessel in entrance of our forces.”

“We shouldn’t be encountering the Elven fleet but, right?”

Henrietta’s expression stiffened.

“I don’t know. However in keeping with the scout’s report, it’s only one vessel….”

“One vessel?”

Having heard what was stated, Henrietta lifted her hand to cowl her brow, and cautiously regarded up on the infinite blue sky.

After a short time… the bean-sized shadow of a vessel appeared a terrific distance in entrance of them. One aspect of the vessel was emitting black smoke, and continually reducing altitude. Because the vessel approached, you possibly can lastly see that it was lined in harm, and that the vessel was going to fall proper in entrance of their eyes.

Henrietta and Agnes each knew what vessel this was.

“Majesty… this shouldn’t be!”

“Louise… It’s Louise, All forces halt.”

In the course of the desert, a particular sunshade was shortly arrange whereas camp was being arrange. All of Halkeginia’s heads of state gathered underneath the sunshade, sitting in chairs round Louise.

There was Henrietta, Germania’s Emperor Albrecht the Third, The newly ascended Queen of Gallia, Josette, additionally there was Pope Vittorio with Julio at his aspect like a shadow. Listening about Louise’s courageous cost to the Elven capital, all of them heard her report.

“I’m very sorry for my arbitrary motion, Your Highness. I’ll take no matter punishment you deem applicable.”

Louise eliminated her cloak with the lily coat of arms, and knelt in entrance of Henrietta.

“Louise, we won’t blame you now. That you’re protected and sound is really an excellent factor.

“Princess….”

Henrietta threw her two palms round Louise’s physique, the 2 deeply embraced.

Then Louise started to systematically defined the entire story of the rescue and battle to the group.

First there was the battle with the Elven fleet, and there was the destruction of the complete fleet utilizing “Void”. Though they finally succeeded in breaking into the Elven Headquarters “Kasper”, they didn’t discover Saito or Tiffania, and consequently escaped from their speedy emergency. Nonetheless, Louise didn’t reveal the matter of Turuk and Bidashal.

“That, we’re nonetheless unclear on the whereabouts of Saito-dono and Ms. Westwood?”

Going through Henrietta, Louise confirmed a depressed expression, and nodded.

“In the event that they glided by sea, it’ll be exhausting to look.”

Albrecht the Third stated, whereas twirling his beard with a finger.

“Dispatch three Romalian naval vessels to look.”

“Tristan may also dispatch their particular dragon knight corps.”

Listening to Vittorio’s instruction, Henrietta instantly responded.

This time she couldn’t let Romalia take the lead within the search once more… Henrietta sharp expression confirmed this dedication.

Louise raised her head and regarded in direction of Vittorio.

Then opened her mouth.

“Your Holiness, could I ask why you, because the consultant of the holy church, organized the ’Coalition Military for the Restoration of the Holy Lands’, and intentionally provoke a battle with the Elves?

“No, it isn’t like that, Ms. Vallière.”

Vittorio nonetheless maintained an earnest expression, shaking his head.

“Our goal is finally the magical gear sleeping within the ’Holy Land’. If we get it, then there isn’t any want for a dispute with the Elves.”

“You imply your Holiness unintentionally began this battle?”, Louise cautiously requested.

“No less than we’ll not spare any effort to keep away from battle. However that depends upon whether or not the opposite aspect has this need as effectively.”

“Then I’m relieved to listen to this, Your Holiness.”

“Ms. Vallière, can I ask what you imply?”

“I’ve some those who wish to meet your Holiness.”

“Oh?”

Vittorio stated, apparently these phrase caught his curiosity.

“Mr. Colbert.”

Louise referred to as out from the sunshade, quickly after two individuals, sporting hats, have been nervously guided into the sunshade by Mr. Colbert.

“Louise, these two individuals are?

Henrietta requested with a confused expression.

“How impolite, you continue to haven’t proven your faces.”

Albrecht the Third stated with a displeased voice.

“Actually, barbarians are barbarians, their tone of voice is so coarse.”

“What did you say?”

They grabbed and eliminated the hats from their head.

In a second, there was a big uproar within the sunshade.

As a result of what appeared from underneath the hat was radiant and lustrous blonde hair, crystal clear blue eyes, in addition to slender ears like streamlined tree leaves….

“El, Elves…!”

Even the daring and fearless Albrecht the Third, stood there with a dumb look on his face for a second.

The earliest to take motion was the one subsequent to the Pope, Julio. You simply noticed him shortly draw his sword and put together to guard Vittorio.

“Don’t fear, Julio. I sense no hostility from these two individuals.”

Vittorio’s regular voice stopped Julio.

Then requested Louise.

“Ms. Vallière, you captured these Elves?”

However Louise shook her head.

“These two aren’t captives, however visitors.”

“You stated visitors?”

Albrecht the Third stated, evident on the two Elves. Nonetheless, Turuk didn’t care about his hostility, and walked as much as Vittorio.

“You might be His Holiness, the Pope from Romalia?”

“Sure, I’m the Pope from Romalia, St. Aegis the thirty second, my two elven visitors.”

Even dealing with elves, Vittorio’s regular expression nonetheless didn’t waver in any respect. however you possibly can inform from his eyes, that his curiosity was really piqued by these two elves.

“It’s the first time I’m assembly you, I’m the Elven Consul, Turuk.”

“Consul…”

“The individual holds the best energy within the Elven Council.”

Bidashal stated.

These phrases brought about one other uproar within the sunshade. You could possibly see Albrecht the Third mumbling in a low voice, Josette’s eyes go spherical, and Henrietta masking her mouth with a sound of shock.

Amongst this, solely Vittorio’s calm and funky angle remained. The he requested Turuk.

“Lord Consul of the Elves, why have you ever come right here?

“To barter peace.”

Turuk concisely responded.

“To barter peace….”

It appeared that Vittorio was considering some issues, and was silent for a second.

As a substitute of Vittorio, it was Albrecht the Third who spoke.

“Negotiate with Elves? That is foolish. Don’t fear about any negotiations, it’s exhausting to imagine they got here all the way in which right here, however we are able to’t waste the hassle. Grabbing these guys as hostages ought to be capable to shut up these Elves.”

“That’s the silliest possibility, barbarian king.”

“What?”

“I’m not the blood of a king, at finest I’m solely the consul elected by the council. If I have been to be lowered to a barbarian hostage, the council will choose one other consul, it’s that easy. The subsequent consul will in all probability not be from my secure celebration, subsequently, barbarian king, I’ll first remind you that there isn’t any approach you possibly can beat the Elves.”

Albrecht the Third was instantly speechless upon listening to this, and solely in a position to mumble an “Oh….”

However instantly he grinned and laughed.

“That’s not obligatory, however we nonetheless have the charity of the Founder, Brimir, the facility of the ’Void’.”

“Initially on this approach, your use of “The Work of the Satan” was really terrifying.”

Turuk very bluntly admitted.

“However my army possesses the same trump card. The Elves who need to begin a battle, apparently they’ve discovered how your military used the “Jewel of Fireplace.”

“What!”

“What did you say!”

Listening to this terrible information, brought about the colour to empty from Henrietta’s face. This being the primary time she heard this, Louise additionally had bother concealing her shock.

Each individual right here knew intimately how horrible the “Jewel of Fireplace” is. The Mad King Joseph solely used one “Jewel of Fireplace” and incinerated Gallia’s Twin-Use Fleet to ash.

“You continue to suppose you’re higher than us and name us barbarians! Irrespective of the way you take a look at it, it’s your actions which are really barbarous.”

Henrietta, unable to include her anger, cursed.

“You clearly know the way scary the “Jewel of Fireplace” is!”

“It’s higher to say it’s ’acquired data’, Princess of Tristain.”

Bidashal stated.

“In these a number of 1000’s of years, we Elves have by no means thought there was such a horrible methodology to make use of the “Jewel of Fireplace”. It was really invented by a demon.”

Listening to the irony, and hitting the nail on the pinnacle with that assertion, Henrietta, with no approach to refute it, was left speechless.

“Anyway, You utilizing ’The Work of the Satan”, the elves utilizing the ’Jewel of Fireplace’, either side will trigger bitter sacrifices. This manner, the Sahara will turn out to be scorched earth, from then on, it could be uninhabitable… because the chief of the elves, I wish to forestall this. So I took this danger, and got here to you to barter.”

Listening to Turuk’s phrases.

“So it’s, I perceive your concept, Consul of the Elves. I additionally want to keep away from pointless bloodshed.”

Vittorio deeply nodded his head.

“Your Holiness, in that case….”

Louise stated, instantly elevating her head.

“Your Holiness, you possibly can’t imply to make peace with the Elves?”

Albrecht the Third interrupted in protest. From his expression you possibly can see as issues stand, how was he going to influence the opposite rulers of Halkeginia” and related dissatisfied ideas.

Listening to this, Henrietta fiercely turned her eyes on this vulgar Germanian emperor.

“Nonetheless, peace comes with a situation.”

At that second, Vittorio opened his mouth and stated.

“Oh, what situation?”

“It will likely be nice as lengthy you briefly grant us entry to the “Holy Lands”. When you can’t comply with this, it doesn’t matter how massive the sacrifice, we are going to persevere in finishing up the Holy Warfare.”

“You need us handy to you the “Demon’s Gate” that has been guarded for 6000 years by the Elves?”

“Right, that’s the solely required situation.”

“….”

On listening to this, Turuk turned to instantly face this younger Pope.

A tense feeling immediately enveloped the sunshade.

Holding her breath, Louise waited for Turuk’s response.

After what felt like an endlessly lengthy time frame….

“Can I ask a query?”

With nice issue, Turuk lastly opened his mouth to talk.

“Please converse.”

“Your goal isn’t actually the Elves residing within the ’Sahara Desert’, right?”

Vittorio nodded.

“Our aim is finally… solely to go to the ’Holy Lands’.”

“Hm, to go to the Holy Lands, proper…?”

It appeared like he was considering one thing, then Turuk twirled his beard together with his hand.

Louise and Henrietta’s eyes stealthily met.

The matter within the “Holy Lands”… When you imagine what the Pope has stated up till now, it was magical gear to forestall the lands of Halkeginia from rising.

However it at all times felt that there was one thing off unusual about this…

“What’s the which means of this?”

At this level, Vittorio stood up and stretched his hand in direction of Turuk.

“I’ve one thing I’d such as you to see.”

Whereas the necessary assembly that concerned the entire way forward for Halkeginia was happening underneath the sunshade, on the similar time…. Guiche and Malicorne have been standing in entrance of the “Ostland”, which was half caught in a sand dune from when it was pressured to land, unexpectedly assembly with their companions.

Listening to that Saito and Tiffania kidnapped and brought to the nation of the Elves, the members of the Ondine Knight Corps volunteered to affix the “Coalition Military for the Restoration of the Holy Lands”.

“Actually, you made everyone fear!”

“How might you permit with out saying a phrase, it’s an excessive amount of!”

“I’m actually sorry… initially we have been attempting to bother everybody as little as we might.”

Guiche confronted his companions criticism, bowed his head to everybody and apologized.

However nobody was really indignant, truly everybody was fearful. He had some good companions… Guiche thought to himself with tears in his eyes.

“See, this man can also be fairly lonely.”

Reynald walked up, holding an enormous mole.

It was Guiche’s acquainted, Verdandi. Since they realized that the rescue and fight can be too harmful, everybody determined to depart their familiars in school.

“Oh, Verdandi, I’m sorry….”

With their completely satisfied reunion, Guiche tightly hugged Verdadi. The large mole acquainted was spoiled, rubbing its nostril throughout Guiche’s face.

“Oh, Cubasil, are you doing effectively?”

Malicorne’s owl acquainted additionally fortunately flew round his grasp.

“Mon Mon was additionally fearful to tears. Up till the top, she insisted on going with us.”

Gimli stated.

“Oh, Montmorency….”

Tears couldn’t assist however move once more as Guiche stated his sweetheart’s identify.

In actuality, everybody setting out on the highway from Tristain was solely a matter from a number of days in the past. However it appeared like a few years since Guiche hopped on the airship and left the academy….

On the similar time he thought to himself, Saito ought to be feeling much more uneasy.

Guiche pushed his face into Verdandi’s fur, and wiped away his tears.

“Proper, is there no phrase about Saito?”

At the moment, Gimli requested.

A shadow instantly enveloped Guiche and Malicorne’s face.

“….”

Sensing the distinction of their companions, everybody turned silent.

“Wait a second, they’re not useless.”

Upon seeing this, Guiche shortly defined.

“I heard he and that Elf woman safely escaped.”

“Actually…. that’s good.”

Listening to Malicorne’s phrases, everyone lastly exhaled.

“Anyway, our vice commander wouldn’t die that simply.”

“Proper, he’s the person with the facility to cease a 70000 man military.”

Everyone began laughing, and on the similar time nodded their heads in settlement.

Ultimately, Reynald pushed up his glasses, and muttered.

“It’s not that it’s a foul factor, however isn’t this a little bit of an issue?”

“What sort of downside?”

Guiche didn’t perceive.

“As a result of Saito is at present alone with Tiffania, proper?”

“Proper.”

“In different phrases, if we’re not cautious, we might trigger some confusion.”

Everyone strongly nodded, agreeing with Reynald’s phrases.

“No, Saito is a particularly centered man.”

For his buddy’s honor, Guiche defended Saito.

In actuality, Saito really was very centered on Louise, of this there isn’t any doubt.

However Malicorne spoke, reducing into the dialog at the moment

“After all, the conventional Saito is certainly centered. However a person and a lady alone, dealing with a life-threatening escape. Beforehand I’ve stated, in these excessive conditions, it is going to speed up the deepening of the emotions between women and men. Furthermore, that Elf’s chest is so massive. In actuality, though Saito is an effective individual, he has no immunity towards massive chests.”

“Oh, um….” Guiche stalled

Actually, remembering, this isn’t fully with out precedent… he might converse of too many examples. After all, talking of Guiche, Montmorency was his most necessary sweetheart. However time, place, and state of affairs have been completely different, and it could possibly be a “that is two completely different issues” frame of mind. This additionally wasn’t unimaginable.

However it wouldn’t matter, since Saito was centered on Louise, for Tiffania it could be exhausting to say. Quite the opposite, she nonetheless might begin to have emotions for Saito, or attempt to cut back the space between them….

Whereas Guiche was cautious pondering, Éléonore, sporting work garments, left the maintain of the “Ostland” which was quarter-buried in sand. Up till then she’d been repairing the boiler.

Éléonore instantly found Malicorne, and yelled in a stern voice.

“Hey, little pig, what are you doing! Why don’t you hurry up and assist!”

“Sure, sure! Instantly! Little pig! The little pig that I’m, goes!”

Malicorne fortunately shouted, after which instantly headed in direction of the ship.

Seeing how he’s appearing, Reynald stated with emotion.

“He appears to be completely satisfied.”

“Ms. Vallière, I hope we succeed to peacefully negotiate with the Elves, with none issues.

“I hope for this… but it surely looks as if it gained’t be that straightforward.”

Louise dispiritedly replied to Siesta, who was steeping tea and speaking.

After the assembly within the sunshade… Louise returned to the tent.

Vittorio took Turuk and Bishadal to the “St. Mark”, the vessel used particularly by the Pope, anchored on a sand dune. The factor the Pope needed to let the 2 Elves see apparently was the best secret of Romalia, so Henrietta and Louise each had no approach to associate with them.

“Romalia’s secretive nature is really unchanging.”

Whereas consuming a cup of tea, Louise faintly sighed.

“Is it potential the talks have hit a snag?”

“It appears the Elves are usually not all the similar thoughts both, a pro-war faction exists among the many Elves as effectively.”

“Ah, it seems like there isn’t actually any distinction between Halkeginia and the nation of the Elves.”

Siesta regarded up on the desert’s sky.

“In any case, we’ve finished all that we are able to. Now we simply must belief Saito and Ms. Westwood.”

“That’s additionally true….”

Louise impatiently thought, as she surveyed the sky full of sand, blown by the wind.

What Siesta stated was right, all they may do now was wait right here. If she knew the place Saito was, she’d instantly rush to his aspect….

The place was Saito now, what was he doing?

“In his coronary heart, is he fearful about me? Or….”

Watching the desert surroundings progressively change by the comb of the wind, an abrupt feeling of disquiet appeared within the immediately delicate thoughts of Louise.

Occupied with what Malicorne stated earlier than the battle with the Elven fleet at Adyl.

She appeared to recollect, that in excessive conditions, emotions between women and men immediately might warmth up….

On the time, they have been speaking a couple of really boring matter, guys are silly, a bunch of main idiots. May the present Saito be tempted by a woman aside from me, is it potential? Though I’m pondering like this….

However rigorously pondering, with that charming woman, Tiffania, a man and woman alone in a overseas land… possibly you possibly can’t say it’s completely unimaginable.

“Uh huh,” Louise softly sighed.

“Maid, I’ve one thing I’d prefer to ask you.”

“What’s it?”

Siesta tilted her head, feeling confused.

“That factor that Guiche and them have been simply speaking about. A man and woman escaping as fugitives, would that actually shut the space between them?”

“Oh, are you fearful, Ms. Vallière?”

Siesta teased.

“H, H, How might I! A, on the most I simply doubt the potential of it, and that is simply educational curiosity. As a result of Saito is totally captivated by me.”

“Hm, that’s proper.”

Unexpectedly, Siesta bluntly acknowledges it.

“However it’s exhausting to say. If the 2 are alone, and Ms. Westwood let Saito see her chest, Saito won’t have the ability to withstand.”

Louise immediately realized this.

Tiffania’s chest undoubtedly hides an astonishing energy, it might already be regarded as a magical weapon. When you’re continually seeing that type of chest, dropping your judgment and purpose wouldn’t be shocking.

“Ah, oh…however, however….”

Whereas Louise was attempting to keep away from her incapability to disclaim the chance….

“If it’s too late to alter something between Saito, and Ms. Westwood, what do you intend to do, Ms. Vallière?”

“Eh…?”

Louise was instantly rendered speechless by this query.

If Saito touched Tiffania’s chest, and buried his face in it….

After all it’s not alright, don’t even give it some thought. If this was the earlier Louise, she would probably ship Saito flying with a kick, after which bestow an “Explosion” on him. However….

“Wh, what does it matter, I’ll forgive him if it’s solely touching her chest.”

Louise revealed a relaxed angle, and lifted up her pink hair.

Ultimately, Saito and I’ve already “seen one another bare”, and confirmed one another’s emotions. I can forgive him for touching chests, that is the demeanor of a relaxed and mature lady.

“Eh~ What about kissing?”

“Kiss….”

Wh, wha… Louise screamed.

Attempting to visualise Saito and Tiffania kissing….

It’s not okay, nonetheless not okay, Louise thought. Truthfully, she doesn’t need for Saito to kiss.

Kissing and chest touching are two completely various things.

This was the underside line she couldn’t concede, however….

“I, it doesn’t matter… I, I’ll forgive…him….”

“Eh, you’ll forgive him!”

“After all it isn’t alright. Principally, no good in any respect… bu, but when it’s simply as soon as, then I can forgive it.”

Louise nonetheless maintained her calm.

I already determined, even when Saito is bewitched by one other woman, I nonetheless gained’t get indignant. So long as Saito safely returns, kissing can truly be forgiven, however as soon as, solely as soon as.

“With the tongue is okay?”

“What are you saying?”

“Is the tongue not okay?”

“After all not.”

This time Louise spoke very firmly.

“Stingy”

“Y, you actually….”

Louise voice shook

“So like this… you possibly can forgive him?”

Siesta whispered a phrase subsequent to Louise’s ear.

“Squish?”

Louise’s expression confirmed shock. She didn’t know the which means of this phrase.

This maid actually is simply speaking loopy.

Is it probably due to the desert warmth, so she misplaced her head do to the warmth?

“Squish, after which scrub.”

“Scrub?”

Siesta whispered subsequent to Louise’s ear once more.

Louise lastly understanding the which means of these two phrases, and instantly acquired indignant.

“I, fool! Are you a pervert!”

“I noticed it in a guide, need me to lend it to you subsequent time to see?”

“Us, ineffective…I ought to say, ho, h, h, how might this be, it’s unimaginable. Although I’m a noble, the third daughter of the revered La Vallière household.”

“Anyway, Ms. Vallière, there’s no approach, it’s bodily unimaginable for you.”

Siesta squeezed her breasts collectively, flaunting them.

“Wh, what, I even have that type of factor….”

Louise whispered, and tried to squeeze her cleavage collectively.

“Aha, Ms. Vallière, that appears just like the washboard I normally use once I clear garments.”

Listening to this, Louise angrily grabbed her wand and hit the laughing Siesta.

On the similar time….Turuk and Bidashal, guided by the Pope, entered the “St. Mark”, the airship used particularly by the Pope.

Put in within the airship’s chapel, was the factor that Vittorio needed to indicate the 2.

“The ’Metal-Blooded Celebration’ proper? It seems such as you aren’t united both.”

“Ya, you’re additionally the identical.”

“I actually don’t have any response,” Vittorio bitterly laughed whereas he responded.

So it’s been since historic time, Humanity is simply in a position to unite when a typical enemy seems. That’s proper.

“Hmm?”

Sensing the overtones of those phrases, Turuk couldn’t assist wrinkle his forehead.

Going to the top of the corridor, they got here to 2 Templar Knights standing guard in entrance of a giant door.

After Vittorio commanded the Templar Knights to depart, he positioned his hand on the gem within the middle of the massive door. White gentle instantly was emitted from the gem, and the sound of a door opening could possibly be heard.

“Please are available in, you two.”

At Vittorio’s urging, the 2 Elves entered the chapel.

Bidashal, inspecting the inside of the room, couldn’t assist however frown. The chapel was fairly plain, it actually didn’t appear to be utilized by the Pope.

A couple of rays of daylight entered the room from a small window. There have been silver candlesticks, a really small altar, and on the altar was a small spherical mirror, it regarded like there was nothing right here to be seen.

What did the Pope finally wish to present the 2 of them on this place….

“So, the factor you needed to indicate us, what precisely is it?”

Bidashal requested.

Quickly after, Vittorio touched the spherical mirror on the altar together with his hand.

“That is the ’Founder’s Spherical Mirror,’ it is among the secret treasures left behind by the Founder, Brimir.”

“The Founder’s secret treasure… a magic instrument for the ’Bearers of the Void’ to provide the work of the Satan?”

Bidashal had seen Joseph beforehand maintain the “Founder’s Censor”

It looks as if that standard and extraordinary instruments gave the facility of the Void to that satan of a person.

“Right. However this mirror doesn’t solely impart the ’Void’… relatively it was by the Founder’s aspect from the start, it’s an merchandise that recorded the lifetime of the Founder.”

Vittorio sang a Void spell, “The Founder’s Spherical Mirror” instantly started to faintly glow.

That is the void incantation “File” which reveals intense reminiscences that had been poured into an object, within the thoughts.

“Do you two know what the true nature of the “Holy Lands” is?”

After listening to this, Turuk appeared to consider it, then shook his head.

“Truthfully, we’re fully blind to that place. All we all know is that, from legends, a demon that got here from there 6000 years in the past brought about ’The Nice Catastrophe’, resulting in the dying of half of the Elves, thus we name that place ’The Demon’s Gate’.”

“You two can witness the reality of 6000 years in the past, right here and now.”

“What?”

In a second, unusual imagery immediately appeared within the two’s minds.

An overgrown plot of land… and standing on that plot was a person and lady. Respectively, one was a blonde haired younger man of small stature, sporting a robe, and the opposite was a slender and exquisite Elf.

“That is….”

“The Founder Brimir and the primary Gandàlfr Sasha, you elves name her ’the Hero Anubis’.”

“So Gandàlfr actually is the Elf hero Anubis… it truly is this manner….”

Bidashal stated in a low voice.

The Elven hero with runes glowing on her left hand. Since earlier than, Bidashal was concentrating on the connection between Gandàlfr and Anubis, and finishing up private analysis.

“But when Gandàlfr and Anubis are the identical individual, that’ll trigger a contradiction. In Elven legend, Anubis killed the demon.”

“No, that legend is right.”

“How is that potential, are you saying that ’Gandàlfr’, the guard of the demon, murdered your god?”

Going through Bidashal’s query, Vittorio responded with silence.

From the picture projected of their minds, Brimir and Sasha have been combating collectively.

The enemy weren’t Elves, and in addition weren’t man-eating ghosts or dog-headed demi-humans, however relatively the “Varyag”, a race that was fully just like the barbarians. Nonetheless, they have been completely different from present barbarian, because the Varyag have been outfitted with metallic weaponry.

Afterwards, time sped up… Brimir’s group progressively added companions.

Amongst them have been Halkeginian barbarians, in addition to Elves. Afterward, kids have been born to the group led by Brimir, and began constructing cities everywhere. It appeared that barbarians and Elves coexisted in whole peace….

However after a second, the scene modified.

In a scene of the huge Sahara Desert, Brimir was chanting some incantation.

Sasha confirmed a depressed expression, and squatted on her heels.

The incantation accomplished. You simply noticed Brimir wave his wand, after which an excellent flash of white gentle stuffed their eyes, and the Elven capital, initially constructed within the desert, was lowered to ash in a second.

Each Turuk and Bidashal couldn’t look away, trying on the horrible scene.

You couldn’t see any type of emotion on Brimir’s face.

Solely within the depths of his eyes appeared the bottomless “Void”.

Ultimately, you simply noticed Sasha slowly stick a knife into the center of Brimir’s chest….

Then, at the moment, the sunshine left “The Founder’s Spherical Mirror”, on the similar time, the picture projected of their thoughts disappeared with the sunshine.

“…That is the reality in regards to the ’Nice Catastrophe’ from 6000 years in the past.”

Bidashal blankly stated.

“What is that this… a really tough calamity to explain.”

Turuk mumbled in a low, hoarse voice.
