Chapter 224
I was waiting for the ritual to finish, thinking I had to report to the priest. This is because all the letters and letters that have been addressed to the individual temple president so far have come from the commoners who seem to have been expedient to date, and nothing from the nobility has arrived.
Perhaps because the nobility of this territory was immediately informed of the restraints of the temple head and other nobility, and the imprisonment of the lord’s mother.
However, it was quite shocking that the lord’s mother and her group were captured.
…… Maybe he did something serious.
A white bird came in when I was waiting for the end of the ritual while holding a rush.
Although similar to Ordnance, the slightly smaller white bird turns into two letters on the desk and falls in front of you. When I picked it up, one was the reply letter I wrote and the other was the reply.
The words of condolence for the death of the temple head and the content of “Thank you for letting me know” are written carefully. Excuse me from the fact that it was n’t a distraught sentence like “Tell me more.”
There was no reply letter, so it was judged that no reply was necessary.
“Rosemine, the dedication ceremony seems to have ended”
The sound of blue priests walking all the way down the corridor, and then the priest and the gray priest brought a small chalice filled with magical power at today’s dedication ceremony.
fran opens the cupboard to hold the Holy Grail, and several gray priests line up side by side.
Listening to the situation, I called on the priest to talk to the priest about a letter.
“Principal, that letter to the temple head has arrived …”
I’m tired. The priest shook his hand lightly in such a manner that he did not listen to this level.
“Ah, are you still there? Tell me that you have died as usual”
“That’s what I told you, and I received a letter of condolence and gratitude …”
“Yes, then that’s fine”
To the blue priests who were close friends with the former shrine at today’s dedication ceremony
I thought it would be better not to talk today, but I want to resolve my concerns. I breathed in slowly and spoke to the chief priest.
“Tell me only one thing”
“What?”
When I was struck by the chief priest as if there was still something, I sighed for a moment and whispered.
“Don’t let the head of the temple die, so that it doesn’t leak to other territories
“No, especially. The fact that the lord’s mother was imprisoned and imprisoned has been laid down as it leads to the opportunity to enter other territories. But the life and death of the temple head Have you ever replied to a letter, what are you saying now? “
“No, it’s good. I’m sorry for your hard work.”
…… Safe. It doesn’t seem like a big failure.
Communicating the death of the temple head to a secret girlfriend seems to be no problem. I relieve my chest.
…… I’m glad that you didn’t go after everything.
Exposing the shrine chief’s pure love to the chief priest seems to whip into the dead and hurts her chest. What can be used is the chief priest who uses it thoroughly. It’s horrible just to think about what kind of eyes she will have even if she doesn’t know the name of the correspondence partner.
Since it was a magic tool letter that I had never seen before, I was upset, but as the chief priest said, there have been many letters to the temple head. It was a magical tool, but her letter is one of them.
When I thought so, I was lightened at a stretch, and I lost my shoulder strength.
And, as the priest presumed, the dedication ceremony was over in three days. As with last year, all the small holy grails that have been entrusted with magic power during the terrible blizzard.
“Lose Mine should double check all the Holy Grail and keep it locked.”
“Yes”
“Kamfell, Frittak. They should supervise the gray priests as they clear the altar during the ritual and return the sacred items to the prayer room.”
“Yes”
We begin to move, as directed by the priest.
Today, I bring the magical power of the Holy Grail to the gray priests and arrange them on the cupboard in my room. After that, I confirmed with Franc and Monica that all the Holy Grail was definitely lined up, and locked it firmly.
Listening to this, I heard a small bell sound across the door. It is the sound of the bell used by the minister’s side service.
“Rosemine, the priest asks for permission to enter the room. Would you like it?”
“Get in”
Perhaps it will be confirmed whether it is locked properly. Immediately I gave permission to enter the priest.
A priest with a long stick-shaped object came in and gave him out in front of me.
“Rose Mine, put magic in it. Try to fill with your magic as soon as possible.”
The chief priest offered a sacred item that should be returned to the prayer room.
Fire god I was handed over the Leidenshaft spear, but I hurriedly grabbed the handle of the spear. At the same time, magic power flows into small magic stones lined up in the pattern.
“That priest, do you satisfy this ritual with my magical power? … what is it for?”
At the dedication ceremony, the magical powers that were previously dedicated to sacred items during daily life are also swept into the Holy Grail. Therefore, now that the dedication ceremony has just ended, it is empty with no magical power remaining in the ritual. It takes a lot of magic to fill this trap. I can’t do it, but I don’t know what it means.
“To make this spear your weapon. Don’t you have it?”
The chief priest who raised his eyebrows lightly said that there was nothing to do. I say that I need to be filled with my magical power to use it as my weapon, but it is not such a problem.
The Priest says it is simple, but just holding it is pouring more magical power, but my common sense is to use the ritual that should be displayed on the altar as my weapon. It can’t be.
“I don’t have any weapons, but this is a sacred item! Isn’t it a good thing to be my weapon !?”
“There is no magic tool that can be used as a weapon by the size you can hold.
If you can use the weapons in the Knights, I’ve let you use them, but I can’t help because I don’t have any weapons.
“… This is a sacred item? Is it really good?”
“Is the permission of the lord and what is the problem with the temple head using the temple fixtures?
Listening to the words of the priest, I felt like I was boring.
If it is approved by the adoptive father, it would be good. Over the course of several hours, Leidenshaft will continue to deliver magic. Still, I feel like I’m doing something punitive.
…… God, I will borrow you for a short time. Don’t get angry because you will always return
When I put all my magical power into the samurai of the ritual, I went to the orphanage. It was a story about returning to the castle as soon as possible after the dedication ceremony, so I wanted to see the orphanage.
“Gill, Fritz. Please report how much you have done”
Check with Gil and Fritz about the status of picture book printing and the production status of cartas and playing cards. At the same time, report the situation at the castle to Vilma and report the situation at the orphanage.
“Carta and Trump are starting to become popular among the children of the nobility. The picture books are also well-received. The picture of Vilma was well received. Also among the ladies.”
Vilma, an accomplice with shuriken illustrations, laughs small, “I hope you can hide it.”
“Ufufu, I’m actually thinking about the next”
“Rosemine, you will be beaten again by the priest”
“It’s okay. We have some measures in place.”
“Wow!”
When I laughed, Vilma laughed out loud.
The girls were knitting all over the place we were talking about. What I teach to everyone is Nora who has moved from Hasse. It seems that it was a winter handicraft in Hasse, and Marte, who is used to knitting even when young, teaches Delia who is knitting next door.
Vilma, who followed my eyes, smiled and squinted.
“Everyone is working hard because they want to stay warm. Nora is not in a position to be taught, but has grown a lot since he was able to teach him.”
Of the four newly entered orphanages in Hasse, the first to get accustomed to the life of the temple was the youngest malte, and Thor and Rick were gathered around the forest and making paper in the workshop. It seems to have become familiar.
It seems that Nola, the oldest, was the least adaptable to environmental changes. It is difficult to change the habits that have been used for many years. In addition, he seems to have gradually lost his confidence in the situation just taught by children smaller than himself.
Vilma tells us that because we live together in a large number of people here, we were able to see how close we were with the younger brothers.
“It seems that by teaching knitting that I know to everyone, I have gained a sense of usefulness and secured a place to stay. Smiles have also increased.”
“Yes. I feel relieved that everyone was spending no problems. Thank you in the future.”
“Slow, Rosemine”
I also checked the state of the orphanage, and as I was told, I put magic in the cage of Leidenshaft. I report to the Priest ’s room, “I can move to the castle at any time”.
While talking about moving to the castle tomorrow, Ordnance jumped into the Priest’s room. Ordnance who got down to the chief’s office desk opens his mouth.
“Sir Ferdinand, please return to the castle as soon as possible. The Lord of the Winter has appeared. The Lord of Winter this year is Schnetilum.”
Communicating the same words three times with the voice of an impatient father, Ordnance returns to the magic stone. The chief patted lightly on the stap and chanted “Old Nantz” and turned into a white bird.
“Leave it organized. Be prepared. Go immediately”
Ordnance flies when the chief shakes the stap. The priest who turned off the stap suddenly turned to us with a steep expression.
“Rejoice, Rosemine. Maybe you can get the finest magic stones. Get ready and head to the castle. Based on the clothes at the time of gathering, don’t neglect the cold.”
I wonder if this monster extermination is a collection of winter materials. I turn back to the room, turning pale, and let Monica and Nicola get dressed. Fran told Ella to stop cooking and prepare to head to the castle, and Rosina began to quickly prepare to return to the castle.
The escort knight starts moving with a different face. The escort knight while I was changing is Brigitte. Meanwhile, Dermuel leaves the room and changes into armor.
¡Please put on underwear as a cold protection measure so that it won’t get cold, then wear pants and a jacket as if you were collecting. I put on another thick jacket, thinking it was already difficult to move, wearing a warm jacket. You have to go back to the castle in a snowstorm that doesn’t stop for the past few days. It is better to keep as much cold protection as possible.
“… What is Brigitte, the Lord of the Winter?”
I asked Brigitte while changing clothes.
“Every year in winter, the strongest monster that appears in winter is called the Lord of the Winter. It is a monster that has a very strong magical power and causes a snowstorm. Since the arrival of spring is delayed, at the same time as it appears, we leave the minimum number of knights in the castle and hunt the knights in total. “
It seems that strong demons appear every year so as to be called the winter master. However, there are various types, and it seems that the demon beast named Schnetilum belongs to a fairly strong one.
“… Do I hunt it?”
Taking a magic stone from a demon beast would have to hunt a monster with a weapon, as we saw in the night of Szezeria. I can’t imagine that I will do the work of the knights.
“After the Knights weaken, I think Rosemine will stab you and get a magic stone. Everyone is there so you don’t have to worry too much.”
Brigitte laughs at ease, but I can’t rest assured. I don’t think this is a collection for me.
Dermuel came back after covering his entire body with armor. Instead, Brigitte leaves the room for preparation.
も ら い I put my hair together, put on a fluffy fur hat, and I put on leather gloves. This glove is a knight’s apprentice glove that has been processed to pass magical power. Just like the ring of the magic tool, it changes shape and fits my hand.
“What do you think Dermuel thinks of the winter lord? Can I hunt me?”
“… Unfortunately, I was dropped into apprenticeship last year, so I have never accompanied the hunting of the Lord of the Winter. I heard from my colleagues, but it seems very strong.”
Since the apprentice is a hunter when he is in the aristocracy, only adult knights can accompany him. However, Dermuel was demoted to apprenticeship at the time of the Trombe subjugation last year, the first year of the knight, and was packed in the temple as my escort.
Dermuel seems to be the first subjugation.
Everyone is ready and heads to the doorway closest to the noble gate with Leidenshaft spear. The spear that has been filled with magic and has become a weapon for me to handle does not feel much weight.
The Priest’s cavalry has already been put out in front of a slightly wider door.
“Fran, Zam. Ask for the door. Rosemine takes the cavalry here and put everyone on. Brigitte asks for the ride.”
Franc and Zam rushed to the door and waited, I left the indoors under the direction of the priest, and put Ella and Rosina. After confirming that, Brigitte and I also boarded.
“Rose Mine, when the winter lord begins to rampage, the snowstorm will be bad. The field of view should be pretty bad. I’m going to fly as close as possible, but be careful not to lose sight.”
“Yes”
“Brigite, I asked”
“Huh!”
The priest turned the cloak and the cloak, jumped onto the beast with a light movement that did not seem to harden the whole body with armor, raised his face and looked forward.
“Open the door!”
Franc and Zam put their hands on the handle. The next moment when it opened a little, a tremendous breeze and snow blew, making a loud noise and opening the door all at once.
The priest’s cavalry jumps out to face the blizzard. Aiming at the blue cape of the priest, I also moved the beast.
ran out of the temple, just past the noble gate, Dermuel, who departed from behind me, overtook the Lessers and lined up with the priest. A blue and ocher cape flutters in front of me, and I drive a beast with the two capes as landmarks.
From the gray sky that seems to be heavier, white snow is coming here. The field of view is white and snow appears to fly from any direction, and the wind direction is uncertain.
“Lose Mine, please turn to the right. It’s a castle soon”
Assisted by Brigitte sitting in the passenger seat, I was able to get to the castle without losing sight of the priest and Darmell.
The Priest skips the Ordnance and Norbert opens the door immediately.
“Ella, Rosina, get off immediately. We will head towards the Knights”
Ella and Rosina who sang loudly in Brigitte’s words rushed to the door that Norbert opened. After confirming that the door is closed, the Priest’s cavalry begins to move again.
“Let’s go to the Knights training area. It should already be there.”
Listening to Brigitte’s words, I chased the priest’s cavalry.
There are several training centers where the Knights train, all of which are large. It ’s natural to practice riding on a beast.
However, for me now, the building is white and the surrounding snow is white, so I can’t tell where the training ground is from now.
The Priest’s cavalry jumps into the training area. I entered first because Damuel was waiting in front of the door.
The lord of the winter leaves a minimum of guard knights, and it seems nothing exaggeration to say that it is a demon beast that must be hunted all together, and there are already knights in the training area. .
I heard that there are about fifty knights residing in Ehrenfest, but today there are also knights who are guarding the region, so even if you look around, there are about two hundred fifty-five people I think.
“Let me wait”
All of the people spoke to the chief’s words. I also get off the Lesser and line up next to the Priest.
“This year the winter lord appeared again. The upper level should do everything to cut the limbs of the winter level. Like “
“Huh!”
“Brigitte rides a Rosemine knight and arrives at the designated position, joins the intermediate class, and Darmell will act with the lower class.”
“Huh!”
Dermuel rushes to the head of the priest and heads toward the knights in line. The priest looked down at me as I watched it.
“Rose Mine waits on the beast until I go to the call. Never move from the specified position”
“Yes. That Ferdinand-sama. May I pray for your luck?”
There is not much I can do. Rather than praying after becoming a melee in the battle, I want to pray while I can afford it.
The priest looked at the knights with a difficult face and then slowly nodded.
“… It’s better to preserve the magical power, but this year, you’ll have the magic stone handed over. Well, good.”
Permission of the priest, so I will put magic in the ring. I pray that the knights will be able to win against the mighty demon beast that must be hunted.
“God of flames, Leidenshaft belongs to everyone, so that everyone has the blessing of the hero of the hero, Angleaf”
Blue light jumps out of the ring and falls on the Knights. Because there are many people, I used magic power than I expected.
“Preparing to advance!”
皆 Everyone gets up to the voice of the priest and begins preparing the beast. When I tried to get on the beast, I was stopped by the priest.
“Was Rosemine, so much magical power? Drink it before the battle begins. Then adjust the size of the beast to preserve the magical power.”
Adjusted to a size that can be rided together with Brigitte, boarded the beast, and I stared at the medicine given to the chief priest.
Magical power is essential to defeat the monsters. I drunk quickly with the feeling of wanting to cry for efficiency-oriented medicine that was not adjusted for bitterness by the chief priest. It is a medicine to recover from fatigue and magic. It ’s hard to keep your physical condition, even though your mouth is bitter.
“Let’s start!”
Leading knights and fathers of senior aristocrats,
I felt strong magic in the north. The Knights move in an orderly manner. Riding the beast to a source of strong magical power to confront the blizzard.
The surrounding knights who run in the sky look at this while occasionally making noises. I’m a bit scared that the armor’s head makes a noise, probably to see the Lesser.
The closer you get to the strong magic, the more snowstorms get worse. And the moment I saw a big shadow in the center of the snowstorm, I was ordered to wait by the chief priest.
“Rose Mine is waiting here. Hold your bag and be prepared to jump out at any time”
When Brigitte heard the priest’s words, he jumped out of the Lesser and put out his own beast and straddled it. As soon as Brigitte flies to the designated position, the priest turns the blue cloak and heads for the battle of senior knights.
My surroundings were surrounded by knights of lower aristocrats.
