Marfa’s Sword is located in the capital of the Karedohart Empire—Frostanea, guarded by the Holy Sword Church led by Naisa.
While in the Sagelros Empire, there is the last Holy Sword—Delamu.
— Holy Sword Moslo.
— Holy Sword Marfa.
— Delamu Sword.
These are the legendary three great Holy Swords that save the Source, save the world, save life.
Now, the Holy Sword Moslo, lost amidst the decline of the Reinnaier family, is currently in the hands of little Princess Liz, the last descendant of the heroic family.
Marfa’s Sword has also welcod Reiger as its master, having its own rightful owner.
Only the Delamu Sword remains silently asleep in the capital of the Sagelros Empire, Gewirger, similarly guarded by the Sagelros Holy Sword Church like Marfa’s Sword was before.
Pasiphus seems a bit regretful about this.
"The Holy Sword Moslo found its master long ago, and now, Marfa’s Sword also has its master, leaving only the Delamu Sword we guard, which has yet to et its destined owner."
"It’s really a pity."
"How wonderful it would be if Your Excellency were the master of the Delamu Sword?"
Upon hearing this, Quilless couldn’t hold back.
"Your Highness, you’ve gone too far."
Quilless voiced a warning.
But Pasiphus was evidently thick-skinned, showing no fear of the renowned Duke of the Empire standing before him.
"I was just stating the truth; do I not have the right to express regret?" Pasiphus shrugged, saying, "But Quilless, eavesdropping on my conversation with His Excellency is really unbecoming of you."
"I wasn’t eavesdropping," Quilless said, exasperated, "You had no intention of hiding it just now, did you?"
"It’s nothing unspeakable, why hide it?" Pasiphus said with a grin, "Are you worried I’ll whisk His Excellency away?"
...I am a bit worried!
As a Duke of the Empire, Quilless understood what it ant to have a savior descend after eleven thousand years.
This is the future leader of the Source.
This is the future hero of the world.
The chosen master of the Holy Sword will inevitably beco a great being possessing power, fa, and lineage.
Looking at "that Empire’s" history, the benefits of having the savior’s assistance, influencing world dynamics and a nation’s future, are undeniable.
This is sothing anyone with clear insight can see, otherwise, so many forces, so many races wouldn’t flock to Quilless’s estate like a market day, disregarding their status.
Quilless sent them all back, not without considering this.
Unfortunately, he could block all others, but not another empire equal to Karedohart, Sagelros.
This did raise a bit of alertness in Quilless’s mind.
"Actually, if His Excellency has ti, you are welco to visit our capital in Sagelros."
Pasiphus continued to subtly test the limits, as if unaware of Quilless’s concerns.
"Gewirger’s luxury is comparable to, if not superior to, Frostanea, and it boasts the world’s largest magic item market, luxurious casinos, and noble entertainnt establishnts. Especially the Ballyer Chamber of Comrce’s auction house, the top auction house of the Empire, hosts an auction every year that attracts wealth from the entire Source World. The auction showcases rare, high-priced treasures, rare materials, and magical technology products that I’m sure you’ll find interesting."
"My brothers, sisters, and especially my sisters, are eager to et you. Since learning of your arrival, you’ve almost beco the idol of their dreams."
"And also..."
Pasiphus continued his chatter, making Quilless’s face turn darker and darker, as dark as the bottom of a pot.
Just when Quilless was about to lose his temper, Reiger finally spoke up.
"None of this is important; we’ll speak of it when there’s a chance in the future."
Reiger spoke calmly.
"Look, we’ve arrived at the manor."
Pasiphus and Quilless then noticed that they were already close to the manor they were in just a while ago.
It was perhaps the only luxurious manor in the entire military town, covering a vast area. Though not as extravagantly lavish as the manor Reiger previously stayed at in Olus, it was still quite opulent to have such a manor on the front lines of a battlefield.
The manor seed to be the centralized office for the entire Karedohart garrison zone, where many people usually ca in and out.
However, due to Reiger’s arrival, the manor’s operation seed temporarily suspended, with the gate heavily guarded, surrounded by fully ard Knights, each exuding extraordinary presence, evidently the elite of the garrison zone.
Reiger glanced at the chest of these Knights, noticing they all wore Gold dals, equivalent to Lv.6 seasoned senior swordsn.
A small portion wore Crystal dals, indicating strong power.
And this was not all.
Given Reiger’s strength, he could naturally sense the presence of hidden guards in the manor, so exuding auras comparable to the two Knight Captains of the Sky Division.
The level of security was even stronger than at the manor in Olus last ti.
Afterward, at Quilless’s invitation, Reiger attended the luncheon they had prepared in advance.
The luncheon was lavish, with steaming dishes served by beautiful maids, all featuring the distinctive flavors of a Source World state banquet.
These dishes were no ordinary cuisine; they were cooked using rare herbs, materials modified by magical technology, and the body parts of extraordinary creatures.
According to Quilless, these dishes promoted the flow of magic power and enhanced physical fitness.
Reiger was quite interested, consuming a lot, feeling warm in the body with each bite, as if soaking in a hot spring, incredibly comfortable.
The magic power within did accelerate its flow, even integrating into Reiger’s body, giving Reiger the feeling of honing sword skills and training the body.
"Wow, is there such a shortcut for enhancent in the Source World?"
No wonder lo, Naisa, and others reached level 8 at such a young age. Watching them eat skillfully, it seems it’s their regular al.
No, saying it’s their regular al might be an exaggeration; they must have it occasionally. Otherwise, Reiger, having been in this world for a week, wouldn’t have missed it even once.
"These magical dishes are incredibly complex to produce, comparable to making Magic Potions or Magic Items. We weren’t unprepared, just not ready in a rush."
lo seed to know what Reiger was thinking and quickly explained softly.
In fact, it’s sowhat Reiger’s own doing.
After all, he only stayed at the Holy Sword Church for three days before rushing off to Nainielgar.
Three days wasn’t enough to prepare such complex magical dishes.
Plus, the conditions for making them weren’t available on the battleship, so he missed out on such miraculous delicacies.
"I’m not blaming you; don’t look at like that."
Seeing lo’s anxious explanation, Reiger was sowhat bemused.
At this mont, Pasiphus signaled to his sister with his eyes.
Lilicia understood imdiately, holding a box, and approached with a smile.
"Your Excellency."
Lilicia spoke lively.
"In coming here, our father entrusted us to present you with a gift."
"We hope you will accept it."
What?
Another gift?
