"It seems you have a deep affection for that ’Fire Princess,’ huh?"
Reiger gave Charity an unexpected glance.
Honestly, he found it difficult to believe that this cold-blooded female Martial God would regard soone so highly.
"...She is special." Charity’s voice softened slightly, "Only she has treated with feelings untainted by foreign elents from beginning to end."
Charity’s attachnt to the "Fire Princess" fundantally erged from this simple reason.
Just like the "Fire Princess" once said, exceptional senses granted Charity extraordinary intuition, allowing her to easily perceive the emotions of those approaching her.
Therefore, her childhood ended up the way it did, and she beca the cold deanor she had now.
The current queen who brought her to the queen’s palace valued her lineage and potential, whereas "Kiloton" valued her for her person.
Only the "Fire Princess" wasn’t like that.
Charity had never told anyone that she felt pure concern and abundant affection from that person.
It was as if a biological mother doting on her child, a pure emotion without any impurities.
Hence, Charity inevitably beca imrsed in the kindness of the "Fire Princess."
No choice.
She was also just soone who had been regarded as a tool since childhood, rarely experiencing genuine maternal love...
"And then?" Reiger continued to ask, "To fulfill this so-called revolution you ntioned, what do you plan to do?"
Regarding this question, Charity responded.
"The sacred beast worshipped by the Sanctuary is said to possess power far stronger than it currently exhibits."
Charity stared at Reiger, articulating word by word.
"To unleash that power, it is necessary to gather various technological crystals from ancient magical civilizations."
"These technological crystals from ancient magical civilizations are sealed within each of the ancient ruins."
"By exploring these ancient ruins and gathering all the crystals, followed by an enormous liberation ceremony, the sacred beast can return to its true nature."
Upon hearing this, Reiger finally understood why Charity and the people of the Sanctuary had persistently infiltrated various ancient ruins, plundering within them.
As it turns out, they aid to collect technological crystals from ancient magical civilizations to conduct a massive liberation ceremony, restoring the subterranean beast, Yarakulon, to its essence.
"When we encountered you in the ancient ruins at Reinnaier, you were doing this, right?"
Reiger recalled the bizarre box he had snatched from Charity’s hands.
"That’s right." Charity replied coldly, "After failing with you, I went there again and recollected the runes of the Nibelungen Pillar."
That was one of the technological crystals.
"Once all the necessary technological crystals are gathered, the liberation ceremony can be conducted, allowing the sacred beast to regain its essence, granting the Sanctuary the power to sweep across the entire continent."
"Combined with the limitless army of magical automatons, Heretic Assassins, contagions spawned from nurous holy artifacts, and Abyssal Aura, no country on the continent will be able to hinder the Sanctuary’s advance."
"The Sanctuary can seize this opportunity to restructure the continent’s order and establish a new kingdom."
This was the Sanctuary’s objective.
"Then, what are you doing here in the Hidden Land?" Reiger frowned, questioning, "Could it be that there are technological crystals you need here?"
"No, there aren’t any here." Charity shook her head, "All the technological crystals are left in the outside world; there are none in the refuge area here."
"We ca here partly because the collection of technological crystals is nearly complete; soon, we can officially initiate the ceremony."
"To prevent the Hidden Land from suddenly erging to obstruct, the leader ’Heavenly Hunt’ intends to destroy the teleportation magic array, preventing the people within the Hidden Land from reaching the outside world."
This objective has been fulfilled by the Sanctuary.
If the Sanctuary officially initiates the ceremony and starts the revolution, even if there’s a powerful force within the Hidden Land, it won’t be able to participate.
"There’s another purpose, isn’t there?" Reiger pressed further, "Aren’t you still searching for sothing?"
Compared to the previous objective, this one intrigued Reiger more.
Unexpectedly, Charity herself furrowed her brows.
"I don’t know what that item is either." Charity surprisingly said, "Only the ’Fire Princess’ knows the specific information about that item; the rest of the Holy Envoys are just here to cooperate."
"However, I heard from the ’Fire Princess’ that even if we don’t find that item, it won’t impact our revolution."
"It doesn’t seem to be an item essential for the revolution; it’s just that the leader ’Heavenly Hunt’ is very concerned about it, which is why we’re here to search."
Reiger’s eyes flickered instantly.
He’s about eighty percent sure that the leader of the Sanctuary, "Heavenly Hunt," knows of the existence of Dinsion Energy, and also knows that the forr shrine priests sealed the Dinsion Energy left by the dinsional cube, which fell out of the world, here, causing him to send the ’Fire Princess’ and others to specifically search for it.
Though it might not be an item affecting the revolution, given the magical nature of Dinsion Energy, any ambitious person aware of its existence would definitely want to obtain it.
Even without knowing the wonders of Dinsion Energy, just knowing that sothing related to "God" was sealed here by previous shrine priests would make ambition-driven individuals covet it.
The question is, how does that ’Heavenly Hunt’ know of the existence of Dinsion Energy and its sealing here?
"Who exactly is that ’Heavenly Hunt’?"
Reiger ultimately posed the question.
But...
"I don’t know." Charity said indifferent, "It’s not just ; even the ’Tyrant,’ ’Ba Snake,’ ’Kiloton,’ and ’Fire Princess’ don’t know the leader’s true identity."
"There’s only one who knows the leader’s true identity."
"That would be the Sanctuary’s only Construction Type Strategic Level Magician—’Giant Weapon.’"
Reiger’s mind imdiately animated.
"Construction Type Strategic Level Magician...?"
Across the entire Akasha continent, there are a total of eight Strategic Level Magicians.
Among them, the Kingdom of Genas has two, the Leiblu Kingdom has two, the Tistis Kingdom only has one, and the remaining three are all in the Walker Kingdom.
And Yuri had previously inford Reiger that among the current eight Strategic Level Magicians, four are transformation types, two are control types, and two are construction types, while there are none that are interference types.
As for those two construction type magicians, one is in the Leiblu Kingdom, while the other is in the Walker Kingdom.
"Which one?"
Reiger voiced out.
"The one from Leiblu Kingdom." Charity didn’t attempt to hide anything, calmly saying, "By the way, the four subordinate holy envoys of the Sanctuary were introduced by two higher-ranking holy envoys."
"’Kiloton’ and I were introduced by the ’Fire Princess’ to join the Sanctuary."
"While the ’Tyrant’ and ’Ba Snake’ were introduced by ’Giant Weapon’ to join."
With this, the situation within the Sanctuary beca much clearer.
Firstly, the leader ’Heavenly Hunt’ should be the highest standalone presence.
After establishing the Sanctuary, he first recruited ’Giant Weapon’ and ’Fire Princess’; hence, these two are his most trusted followers, considered his direct subordinates.
However, compared to the ’Fire Princess,’ ’Giant Weapon’ clearly has a closer connection with ’Heavenly Hunt,’ so while the ’Fire Princess’ doesn’t know the true form of ’Heavenly Hunt,’ ’Giant Weapon’ does.
Then, these two each recomnded the individuals they were interested in, allowing them to directly subordinate to them respectively.
The ’Fire Princess’ is the recomnder and direct superior of ’Ice Lady’ and ’Kiloton.’
’Giant Weapon’ is the recomnder and direct superior of ’Tyrant’ and ’Ba Snake.’
Though there are said to be seven holy envoys as the highest echelon, the power structure of this highest echelon is indeed a pyramid.
And at the pinnacle of this pyramid is the leader—’Heavenly Hunt.’
