Thanks to Arthur's assistance, the agreent went smoother than he thought.
Not only did King Uther decide to release Morgana, he even made an announcent to free Ery from all the charges related to the death of Sir Badgemagus and his knights with his position as the knight commander of Divine Order.
The announcent dictated that what happened at that ti was a self defense and thus could not be tried.
Honestly, the decision made by the king bothered Ery, sohow. There was a hunch that made him believe this would beco a problem later down the lane. However, after thinking it through, Ery just decided to accept this as a win for now.
The next thing that ca as a surprise was the king's, or rather, Arthur's initiative to give him a title within the Divine Order. It was a recognition for his alias, rlin, as a wizard.
The title itself was an empty one without even a useful perk at all, but Arthur insisted Ery to receive it because of how important it was. Apparently, the title would help and further smooth the relation between him and the other figures in the Divine Order.
If Ery was to be honest, he felt he didn't need such 'benefits' as he had no plans to mingle in the murky waters of the 7 kingdoms.
Moreover, as if it wasn't useless enough, the title actually ca with a responsibility that he had to fulfill.
The mont the aid of a wizard was needed, he would have to appear and lend a hand no matter what.
-
In the end, an agreent had been made between the two parties.
One of the tasks in the agreent was the collaboration between Ery and Logress Kingdom in the hunt for a certain witch nad ave.
Ery did his part by giving a detailed description of ave. He hoped that with this information, the knights would be able to catch the shadow of her in a short period of ti.
King Uther and Arthur were gobsmacked when they heard the description Ery told them. It was almost unbelievable for them that the witch responsible for the incident 20 years ago was a woman who appeared to be in her mid 20s.
Ery also told them about ave's modus operandi, in which she traveled from village to village under the identity of a healer.
King Uther looked visibly excited at the mont, probably because he now finally had the opportunity to catch the damned witch.
After the agreent was made, Gaious, who was also one of the wizards of the Divine Order, assigned a specialized bird to Ery. He watched in interest as Gaious let the bird perched on his shoulders for a while before taking it back.
It turned out the bird had already recognized his scent and could quickly find him if there was any information they wanted to convey to him. In short, this bird was a communication channel.
Then, while Ery was eyeing the bird with curiosity, Gaious gave him another bird that looked similar to the first one. But, different from its counterpart, this bird would return to the Order if Ery had an important ssage or information he wanted to send.
Even though Ery felt the bird was useless due to the existence of his [Spatial Gate] spell, that allowed him to easily return to Logress Kingdom, he still accepted it because he thought there might be an occasion and mont where he would need its capability.
After all, it was better to have it and not use it, than to need it and not have it.
When he accepted the bird that was locked in a small cage, Ery grinned as he looked at the red-haired girl standing next to him.
"This is your official task from , Morgana. You will be in charge of this bird!"
At first, Ery thought the girl would refuse to do it, because he could see a frown on her face. However, the mont she received the cage and locked eyes with the bird, she seed unwilling to let go of the latter, even if the world were to be destroyed in the next mont.
Ery appreciated how Arthur really gave extra thoughts and consideration to make sure their agreent would work out.
So far, except for a few knights, who were still afraid of him, everything had been resolved and proceeded smoothly.
Now, Ery only had to find a way to actually help Arthur pull the sword, as the agreent per se.
He returned to the room where the sword was, in the endeavor to crack the dilemma. Unfortunately, Ery still wasn't able to find even a concrete solution to this.
The only clue that he had at the mont was the matter about the light elent and the requirent of strength.
Left without any possible path, Ery, at the mont, could only hope that the Lady of the Lake could help him.
This would be ideal, the High Priestess helping Arthur and he could reap the credit. Thinking about this sohow brought a smile to Ery's face.
In the chance that even the Lady of the Lake was unable to help him, Ery was confident the Magus Academy would certainly have the answer. It just ant it would take more ti for him to help Arthur, as the latter had to wait until he returned for his third year.
Finally, after a whole day had passed, the necessary preparations had been set.
Not wasting any more ti, Arthur swiftly prepared a convoy that would bring them to the Forbidden Forest.
Destination: Venta Town.
It was finally the ti to bring Morgana back ho.
Thinking about ho, Ery once again frowned. There was still one more girl problem he had to solve, before he could finally put all these things away and focus on his training.
