Elden Clergyman

for a long time.

Rodlika raised her head, as if she had made up her mind.

"Mr. Lord, if I can truly become a spirit trainer, please allow me to stay by your side and be your assistant."

"of course can."

So that was settled.

Then, after dealing with Rodlika's affairs, Lord talked to Irena again.

Before coming to the round table, he first used the blessing teleportation to take a look at the city of Moren. Although the environment there was still very bad, it was much better than before.

He also took the time to meet with the city lord, Irena's father Edgar, and asked him whether he needed to let Irena come back, but after thinking it over, he shook his head.

"Alas, as you can see, Morn City has become a 'city of hybrids.' Although I have no right to say anything about it now, Irena is still human. If she returns... it would be inappropriate."

Lord thought for a moment and said, "How about I take you to the Round Table Hall to meet her?"

Edgar hesitated for a moment and shook his head. "No, just pass on the message for me. I don't want her to know that her father has become a hybrid."

So, Lord once again acted as a relay, sending some greetings to Irena, and also conveying his father's words that it was not appropriate for her to go back for the time being.

After receiving the message from her father, Irena also expressed her understanding.

Although she didn't know what happened in the city of Moen, she could tell from the news brought by Lord that although her father looked a little anxious, he was still alive, which was enough for her.

In addition to her father's affairs, Irena actually had some things she wanted to talk to Lord about.

"Lord Lord, the word 'miracle' in the Braille book you gave me seems to have a lot in common with 'prayer'."

"Huh? What do you say?"

Irena did not answer, but silently raised her hand, holding a holy seal used for prayer. After a moment, a golden light appeared on it.

The light was very faint and very small, but it was something that did not exist in this world.

That is a 'miracle' from another world.

"This Braille book you gave me seems to have some kind of magic. I don't actually know the meaning of the inscriptions, but after touching it many times, I feel like I understand what those inscriptions contain, just like..."

Irena paused, not knowing how to describe it.

So Lord helped her fill it in.

“It’s like a resonance on a soul level.”

Irena was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Ah? You too..."

"Well, I can do miracles too."

Hearing that Irena's touching the holy book was useful, Lord thought about it and simply took out another one and gave it to her.

Of course, it was related to the light system. After Se Lian's reminder, he didn't dare to give her anything related to dark arts, otherwise, who knows what would happen.

"Then you can learn more about it. This stuff is very useful."

"Well, I will."

Irena nodded and put away the Braille book.

After chatting with the two people in the room, Lord left the room and strolled around the Round Table Hall. Then, at a corner, he saw his good brother Roger, whom he had met before.

"Hey, Roger, nice to see you again."

Roger was stunned by Lord's sudden greeting, and then for some reason, his body trembled.

"What's wrong with you?" Lord noticed his abnormality.

"......fine."

Roger's expression was a little strange.

"I just had a nightmare before."

Lord sat down next to him and said, "What nightmare? Tell me about it."

"Well, this..."

Roger hesitated for a while, but finally decided to tell the truth.

"Didn't I tell you before that I was looking for something? After I found it, I seemed to be contaminated by something, and my consciousness began to blur..."

"Then I dreamed that something strange, black, seemed to be growing on my body. I was still wondering what was going on when I saw you rushing towards me with a knife..."

"Of course, I don't mean to blame you. I should even thank you in the 'dream'. If you hadn't woken me up in the dream, I might have really been eroded by that 'pollution'..."

After hearing Roger's words, Lord fell silent.

This doesn't sound like a coincidence.

Then, after chatting with Roger again and confirming that there was nothing else, Lord started walking around the round table again.

Originally, because of the new Stonewell dungeon incident, he wanted to talk to D about the Deathborn and see if he could learn a few countermeasures.

But after searching for a while, he didn't find D. Instead, he met Nepheli again. After talking with her, he learned that her "godfather" was Baizhi, the knowledgeable man in the Round Table Hall.

Speaking of Baizhi...

"Have you listened to Two Fingers' advice? Well, as I promised—you are welcome to join us and become a true member of the Round Table."

After seeing Baizhi again, his attitude was completely different from before, and there was no longer any contempt in his words.

"I am Gideon Ofnir, a Faded One, a seeker of knowledge, a seeker of omniscience, to see the Circle of Elden and become the King of Elden."

"We are one of the few comrades left. I hope we can have a long-term cooperation."

No, buddy, did you take the wrong medicine?

Facing Lord's suspicious gaze, Baizhi shook his head and said calmly.

"I only respect those who deserve it."

"It's that simple."

--------

Chapter 9: Fainted by Wisdom

The reason for Baizhi's change of attitude is simple.

Just like he had said to Lord before, as long as he got the Great Rune, he would recognize him as a true member of the Round Table.

As for the process of getting it, whether it was a one-on-one fight, a group fight, or even selling hooks, he didn't care.

As Sir Baizhi, he recognized every kind of "ability". If someone could really sell a big rune by selling a hook, he would also consider it a skill.

Moreover, because Lord had invited Nepheli to help him in the battle, and the latter described what she had seen and heard to him after returning, even though he had not witnessed it with his own eyes, he had a general understanding of the course of the battle - provided that it could really be called a battle.

"Finally, there are some decent guys at the Round Table. I'm relieved."

He looked at Lord in front of him and spoke in a calm tone.

"You probably want more Great Runes, right? For the sake of our camaraderie, I can share some information with you."

"The Round Table Hall has already discovered the whereabouts of five of the kings who possessed the fragments of the Great Rune, including the one you defeated."

"Lord of Stonewell, Greg 'Limb-Girdle'."

"General Latan who fought Marennia to a draw in the Gallid Fields."

"Lord of Gmir's Volcano Residence, Justice Larcade."

"The Lord of the Royal City of Rodel, the Invisible King, Monggot the Blessed."

"And there's also the 'Full Moon Queen' Raynala from the Magic Academy, Rhea Lukalia."

"Whose Great Rune do you want among them?"

After saying this, Baizhi looked quietly at Lord in front of him, patiently waiting for his answer.

Lord thought for a moment and said, "I consulted an old man before, and he recommended that I go to Rhea Lukalia to have a look."

“Oh, that’s a good choice indeed.”

Baizhi nodded. "There's a civil war going on at Rhea Lukalia Academy right now, and the Full Moon Queen, who holds the Great Rune, isn't in great shape. Aside from Limb Reattachment, Grek, she's probably the easiest Great Rune to seize."

"Yeah, I've heard them say that too." Lord nodded.

Because he often went to Serlian to attend classes, he knew a little about the situation in Kalia, and when he talked with Lao Ma before, he also heard some of the other party's opinions.

but......

"Full Moon Queen?"

This was not the first time Lord had heard this name, but he had not thought much about it before.

But because he had just talked with Lao Ma about Lani before coming here, and now Baizhi mentioned this name again, he felt like something was wrong.

A full moon queen, a moon princess...

"What's her relationship with Lani?"

"Oh, you don't know their relationship?" Baizhi was a little surprised.

Lord spread his hands and said, "I have lost my memory."

Baizhi glanced at him without refutation. After a moment's silence, he slowly spoke.

"'Full Moon Queen' Renala is the mother of 'Moon Princess' Renee."

"Oh, so that's it."

Lord nodded, but soon realized something was wrong.

"Wait a minute, aren't all demigods Queen Marika's children? Isn't the 'Moon Princess' a demigod? Or are they both..."

"The Moon Princess is the child of the 'Hero' Radagon and the Full Moon Queen."

"Who is Radagan?"

After a pause, Lord suddenly realized.

"Oh, I see. Radagan is the male form of Malika, right?"

After all, there are often powerful beings in mythology regardless of gender. Even if their name is queen, they are said to be gods. It should not be difficult to install a plug-in for themselves.

Baizhi: “…?”

Looking at Lord's matter-of-fact expression, he didn't know what to say for a moment.

So, this conclusion, um...

Anyway, after a moment's thought, Baizhi decided to skip this topic.

"Why do you want to find out about the Full Moon Queen and the Moon Princess?"

"Oh, you mean Lani."

Lord said frankly: "I just met her before, didn't I? She even helped me a little. I was just thinking about not hitting the wrong person..."

Lord sighed and said, "Fortunately I remembered to ask. Otherwise, if I accidentally killed her mother, I wouldn't dare to think about how to explain it to her if I met her again. But I really need that Great Rune. If not, I can go back and ask Lani to see if her mother can lend it to me..."

Baizhi: “…?”

"Are you from the Moon Princess's faction?"

Lord looked at him and asked, "What do you mean by 'the Moon Princess' faction'?"

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but after answering, Lord seemed to see white smoke coming out of Baizhi's head.

"I......"

Baizhi opened her mouth, but in the end no words came out.

After a long silence, he sighed.

"I need some time to think, you can go do your thing first."

Why do people at this intersection always like to speak half of their sentences?

Lord complained in his heart, then turned and left.
