Re:Zero - Jobless Reincarnation: Succubus Sword God? I don't recognize it!

Alan looked up at Hilda, and Alice shouted beside him.

"Where is it? Why can't I see it?"

Hilda placed the etiquette book on the table and looked around at everyone's slightly curious eyes.

"follow me."

Several people followed Hilda out of the classroom and left the mansion along the corridor.

Walk through the wide atrium.

We came to a dome-shaped building on the east side of the mansion complex. It was built entirely of bricks and stones and was very tall.

The beast maids who had gathered around them at some point opened the door for them.

(End of this chapter)

168. Chapter 165: What is flapping its wings above the skylight?

168.

The door was pushed open.

What caught everyone's eyes was a spacious circular hall.

The floor is paved with neat dark bricks, and the walls are built with gray-black bricks. There are not many decorations on them. The style appears very rough but reveals a direct and refreshing feeling.

Around the edge of the hall were neatly rolled up and laid out in bundles of thick carpets.

Looks like it hasn't been used in a long time.

Near the edge of the wall, there is a quaint wooden staircase.

Looking up the stairs, there are no rooms on the second floor. There is only a circular corridor built around the wall of the building and surrounding the hall. There are fences built on the edge of the corridor for people to stop and watch. Every few steps, there are exquisite ceiling candle lamps hanging from iron chains as thick as arms.

There are not many windows around, and the bricks and stones are almost all dark colors.

But for some reason, the overall look of the hall seems very spacious.

Everyone walked into the empty hall. The beast girls closed the door for them outside and did not enter the hall with them.

Alice hugged her chest, raised her eyebrows and turned to look at Hilda beside her, her eyes rolling around in her sockets.

"What is this called? Banquet Hall?!"

Sylphy on the side seemed to remember something and suddenly turned to look at Hilda. The latter glanced at Sylphy's suddenly nervous expression and said with a smile.

"Alice, you still remember that the party you had when you were five was held here. This banquet room has never been used since then. Do you still remember the dance that night?"

Alice curled her lips, thought hard, and then nodded vigorously.

“I can’t remember!”

Hilda smiled and shook her head, leading the group to the center of the hall as she spoke.

"This banquet hall was one of the first buildings built after the completion of the Boreas Mansion. Although its design is rough, the stone materials used are carefully selected and very solid. It has only undergone a few simple repairs over the years. The biggest project was the addition of a suspended corridor on the second floor."

"It is said that in the days when there were still wars, every time the ancestors of Boreas returned victoriously, they would hold a banquet here with their generals."

“If there is a building in the Boreas Palace that best reflects the glory of the family, it is undoubtedly this one.”

"On Alice's fifth birthday, we will be inviting all the nobles under our command to attend the banquet, so it is most appropriate to hold a banquet and dance in a place with special significance like this."

As the voices rang out, everyone's footsteps became disorderly, and there were actually some echoes lingering in the empty hall.

Alan looked around, his 'sensory flow' constantly conveying 'discordant' information to his mind.

Hanging ceiling candle lamps with chains;

The overall dark and rough architectural style;

There are not many windows but the feeling is bright;

The echo of footsteps echoed in my ears, making the place more empty than I had imagined.

He was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something.

Just then, Hilda stopped.

Alice was also looking around. She had rarely been to this banquet room and felt it was somewhat unfamiliar. She couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"Didn't mother bring us to see the coat of arms? Where is it?"

Hilda stopped walking when she heard that.

In a short while, she had already walked to the center of the hall.

Turn around.

Face everyone.

The smile on Hilda's face was still clearly visible, and her expression was very bright, as if covered with a layer of flames, which contrasted with the color of her hair.

She held out her finger.

The outline of fingertips walked to the edge of light in the hazy sunset glow.

Raise it above your head and point to the sky.

"Look."

Alan looked at the 'sunshine' on Hilda's finger and raised his head sharply.

Not 'seemingly'.

The glow of the sun did shine upon Hilda's face.

Why are ceiling candle lamps strung with iron chains instead of being hung directly on the beams?

because

There is no such thing as a beam in this banquet room.

Where it enters the eye.

Above the towering roofs is a gorgeous sunset.

The mist lingers above the huge enameled glass dome skylight.

The sunset glows on the glass with gorgeous colors.

The gaps between the pieces of enamel glass outline the edges of the feathers.

The feather itself is made of glass, and light flows continuously on it.

In a pair of wings made of enameled glass.

It's a black 'heart'.

Rough, hard, grainy.

It has a metallic luster.

No.

That was a heart made from a single piece of iron.

Heart of Iron.

Boreas family coat of arms.

Hovering above everyone's heads.

Flapping wings to fly.

I could hear the exclamations of Rudy and Sylphy, and the shouting voice of Miss Alice from Boreas.

Hilda smiled and responded to everyone's questions.

"It is indeed a place that is easily overlooked, because basically no one comes to this banquet room during the day. How much manpower will this emblem consume? I am not sure about this, Rudy."

"Haha, my expression was similar to yours when I saw it. It was really shocking. When I first came here, it was also a night dance, and I didn't even notice it. It was your father who brought me to see it later."

"Was it just me and Philip? Yes, Lufei, oh? Why are you blushing?"

"Are there other places with this kind of glass dome emblem besides here? Yes, Gileno, father often looks at the tall tower in the distance, and the top of the tower is exactly the same."

Hilda's words passed by Alan's ears one by one.

He kept his head up, looking up at Iron Heart.

Thoughts are mixed.

Boreas's territory will last forever on this land?

The goal is ambitious.

He has the courage to cede territory for himself as a military officer and a founding hero.

The hidden meaning of this sentence is very obvious.

This land may not be the land of the Kingdom of Asura, but it must be the land of Boreas.

Kingdoms can rise and fall in times of trouble.

Boreas will live forever.

Heart of Iron?

This requires every lord to have a heart of steel.

Carry out this goal to the end.

Who among the next generation of heirs meets this condition?

Philip, scheming, cunning as a fox, a good husband, and yearning for the capital of Ars, the center of power in the Kingdom of Asura?

Obviously not.

Is that James?

Does he have the iron will to carry out this goal?

From the subsequent plot, it can be seen that he is obviously not one of them, as his actions go against Sauros's wish to spend all his wealth to rebuild his territory.

So why did Sauros prefer him?
