——"Command Seals."
This is a power or mark that typically only those masters capable of controlling, summoning, and commanding servants to fight for them can possess.
Its essence is a crystallization of Magic Power, a symbol of the master’s identity, and also a resource that can be consud.
Under normal circumstances, each master will have three strokes of Command Seals. Each ti a Command Seal is consud, one can complete the strengthening, healing, summoning, or even forceful obedience of a servant through a "command" thod.
As long as it is within the master’s capability, they can use Command Seals to make servants do things that are normally impossible, including but not limited to space transfer and other matters close to the Magic Domain, or even command their suicide.
The master of Chaldea, Reiger, once t Fujimaru Ritsuka in the Fairy Country of Britain, but they seldom communicated. Fujimaru Ritsuka possessed Command Seals, engraved on the back of his hand.
The summoning ritual at Chaldea allowed this insufficiently skilled magician to beco a master, granting him a lightweight version of three strokes of Command Seals. Although these three Command Seals cannot enforce commands or realize miracles, they can still be used as a Magic Power resource, allowing the master of Chaldea to strengthen or heal servants by consuming the Command Seals. Hence, Command Seals are treasures that every master cherishes.
And now, Reiger suddenly found that his Holy Sword Rune, both in appearance and effect, seed to closely resemble Command Seals.
"The Holy Sword Rune can convert the Holy Sword Power, making it applicable in any aspect."
"It can be applied to oneself, others, or even work through contractual connections, affecting attendants and the contracts between them."
"In this way... I seem to be able to use the Holy Sword Power through command to strengthen attendants. If applied to contracts, it can elevate the power of the contract, forcing attendants into obedience?"
"...Isn’t this just like Command Seals?"
The difference lies in that the Command Seals from Chaldea are lightweight, whereas Reiger’s "Command Seals" are the heavyweight version.
His "Command Seals" don’t function by consuming strokes, but by consuming the Holy Sword Power stored within.
As long as the Holy Sword Power isn’t exhausted, he can use the capabilities of "Command Seals" without limitations.
Moreover, due to the imnse power of the Holy Sword, the things he can achieve through "Command Seals" are far more nurous and effective than those achievable with the Command Seals of Chaldea or even regular ones.
This sense of déjà vu left Reiger speechless and inevitably made him ponder.
"Since this is the case, can I use the Holy Sword Rune to summon servants?"
With this improbable thought, Reiger instructed Marfa’s Sword to provide himself with more Holy Sword Power, infusing it into the Holy Sword Rune on the back of his left hand.
As more and more Holy Sword Power was infused into the rune, the color of the rune beca richer and more vibrant.
Until a minute later, Reiger felt the Holy Sword Power within the rune had saturated, unable to accommodate more.
"Well, it stores quite a lot."
Feeling the concentrated Holy Sword Power stored in the rune, Reiger estimated that if used in the manner of Command Seals, he could issue nearly a hundred commands before exhausting the Holy Sword Power within the rune.
If used in the lightweight manner of Chaldea’s Command Seals, issuing several hundred commands shouldn’t be a problem.
"What does this an? Does it an I carry hundreds of Command Seals?"
The more Reiger compared, the stranger it seed.
Of course, this comparison is unfounded, but one thing is certain: the Holy Sword Rune can achieve everything a Command Seal can, and do it better, stronger, and also accomplish things a Command Seal cannot.
"It seems you are very fond of this gift." Lilicia kept gazing at Reiger’s face, seeing his slightly strange expression. She seed to misunderstand sothing, happily saying, "If my father knew, he would surely be very pleased."
"...Alright." Seeing Lilicia’s misunderstanding, Reiger didn’t bother to explain, put away the Holy Sword Rune, and said, "I shouldn’t take your country’s gift without reason, but since it’s offered sincerely, I’ll accept it for now."
"Please convey my thanks to your father."
Upon hearing this, Lilicia and Pasiphus both smiled.
"It’s good that you like it."
"We will relay your words to our father."
Just as they finished speaking, the coldly observing Quileus suddenly spoke as well.
"Speaking of gifts, I also have sothing to offer you, sir."
This remark imdiately made Reiger frown and shake his head without hesitation.
"I’ve already received a gift from your country, there’s no reason to accept a second one."
This first gift was hard to refuse, but accepting a second one would be unreasonable.
Just as Reiger said this, Quileus explained.
"No, you’ve misunderstood, sir."
"Although I really want to express my sincerity, I understand the principle of not going too far."
"The gifts I’m talking about are actually those sent by representatives of other nations and races over the past few days."
Quelles had indeed turned away those who were eager to et the contemporary savior. Although he stopped the people, he couldn’t reject the gifts they sent.
After learning that Reiger would soon arrive at Nanelia, and would co to the garrison area of the Karedohart Empire, regardless of the distance, those stationed under the great wall from various nations or races had all prepared a gift and sent it to Quelles.
"Bring in the items."
Quelles clapped his hands, and at his command, the knights outside began bringing in one treasure after another.
These treasures were all beautifully adorned in various sizes of boxes. When the knights opened the boxes, large or small, the items inside were all awe-inspiring treasures that would leave most people speechless.
There were expensive luxury items, art pieces with great historical or artistic value, precious ancient texts or magic books, and high-specification secret treasures, including magical weapons like knives, guns, swords, halberds, and more. Each piece was a masterpiece, each invaluable and unattainable for the average person.
Pasiphus was utterly astounded, repeatedly exclaiming that these treasures could easily be the highlight items of the empire’s annual grand auction.
Reiger was equally shocked, feeling as if his eyes were blinded by all the glittering jewels.
If these so-called treasures were to appear before him individually, he wouldn’t have reacted this way.
But gathered together, piled up before him, the scene was sowhat intimidating.
For a mont, Reiger felt as if he had entered the treasure vault of the Kingdom of Ginas.
Needless to say, many of the treasures here could easily be part of that vault, with so even more valuable than any found within it. A few had value comparable to the burial treasures Reiger had obtained from Yuloli’s tomb, and so secret treasures possessed effects that rivaled the items Reiger currently wore, which stirred his interest considerably.
"Are these really gifts for ?"
Reiger couldn’t help but ask Quelles for confirmation.
"Yes," Quelles repeatedly affird, "These are all gifts for you. Except for so gifts from smaller nations and races that weren’t up to par, which we tactfully declined on your behalf, the rest were selected and screened by us before being presented to you."
"Among these treasures, so were sent by the six great kingdoms, so by representatives of other races like the Dwarves, Elves, Giants, even tribes of the Nymphs. So were gifts from renowned warriors, such as the nine mbers of our High Council, each sending you a gift."
"These were given by the council mbers personally, not officially, so please accept them."
Upon hearing Quelles’s words, Reiger hadn’t said anything, but Lilicia and Pasiphus inwardly cursed him for being cunning.
If they had known this would happen, they too would have had their empire’s representatives prepare gifts and send them personally.
"...Could this have been your idea?"
Beside him, Naisa quietly questioned lo.
"What are you talking about?"
lo looked at Naisa with confusion, acting as though she had no idea why Naisa would say such a thing, her eyes full of astonishnt.
But Naisa was eighty percent sure that this was an act by the princess.
This was very likely the idea of this princess... Naisa silently confird in her heart.
As for Aleye... well, the Polluted Immortal Spirit had already drooled uncontrollably over the treasure-filled floor.
One must know, much of the treasure strewn on the ground contained imnse magic power.
To Aleye, this was far more enticing than the plates of magical delicacies on the table.
This changed the way Aleye looked at Reiger.
So... this guy is this rich (magically powerful)?
Had she been overlooking this crucial fact all along, missing out on a treasure trove without realizing it?
If she could curry favor with this guy, wouldn’t he casually toss so treasure her way, leaving her feasting happily?
With this thought, the idea of becoming his attendant didn’t seem so bad...
As the thought sparked, Aleye’s intense gaze finally focused on Reiger’s back.
"————"
Reiger, who was just coming back to his senses and preparing to decline the generous gifts with so excuse, suddenly felt a chill on his back.
An ominous feeling of being watched by a predator surged into his heart.
