“Bogle,” Dalgil called out to Bogle just in case, but Bogle didn’t answer One by one, the expedition le was gaping with hisas saucers, and he looked like he was going to choke
“Bogle! What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Dalgil shouted and wondered if Bogle was being attacked by an invisible le had si He finally gasped after being hit hard on the back
“Y-You know…” Bogle caled to say, “I-if that is…what I think it is” Still, he continued to speak with pauses as he looked at the ingot ide eyes “That’s…very precious…and really good…”
“What is it exactly that you’re acting like this?” Dalgil asked with interest
“A reliquia” Bogle continued, “It’s an ore that’s one of the materials to create a sacred relic”
“A sacred relic… Don’t all Gods have one? Well, I guess it’s rare” Ru Hiana said and looked around; she was probably thinking about Shahnaz’s sacred statue and other objects like that
“No! That’s not it!” However, Bogle furiously shook his head
A sacred relic was a holy object used in religious ceremonies and symbolized the church of a God This was a concept established throughout the es, and up to Liber’s ical era! Even in those days, it was extremely, extremely precious!”
However, a sacred relic held a different e In the days when Gods came down to rule the middle world, the sacred relics held an influence incoe They had beensome of the God’s divinity—but objects that could contain the full power of a God and act as their representative In other words, it was a type of equipment that Gods carried
“The reliquia is thesuch holy relics I don’t know about the other materials, but I heard that this was essential!” Obviously, reliquia was impossible to obtain in the middle world as it didn’t exist there Chi-Woo had an epiphany when he heard this; he had felt a sense of déjà vu when seeing the ingot, and he realized that he had had the exact sairl handed hiot in front of them was an object that couldn’t be created in the middle world, just like the World’s Milestone
When Bogle finished explaining, everyone becail was no exception The ingot seeently toward hiot as if in a trance All ht not be the reliquia disappeared once he touched it; the mere contact with his palh to convince hienuine Greed naturally arose in his heart This ingot was proof that God Maed hih priest or beyond this position And if they succeeded inthis reliquia into a sacred relic, the status of the buhguhbus tribe in the Cassiubia League would soar It will also significantly help them in future wars He wanted it; it was only natural he wanted it Even if he gave up the test, he wanted to at least take this ingot and return Although such a strong teil suppressed his desire with great effort He needed to suppress it He had pro except the token in the first place He had no right over any of the treasures in this tower Even though he really wanted it, it was obvious that problems would arise if he said so Above all, it was clear that this was part of the test After thinking for a bit, he was sure that this was also a trial that Ma and obtain the ingot, or keep walking on the given path The thought helped Dalgil regain his self-control and get up
“…I’ll tell you this in advance” Dalgil restrained himself with superhuman patience and looked back While he was still hesitant, he said, “The ownershi+p of the reliquia will be…passed to you” Dalgil suppressed his desire and made his decision His eyes were directed at none other than Chi-Woo Everyone’s gaze snapped to hi with the World’s Milestone, widened his eyes He had his hopes, but didn’t think he would actually get it
“If any of you have coil looked back at the expeditioneyes; it looked as if he would ihtly shrank back under his blazing gaze
“Ah…I envy you…a reliquia…a reliquia of all things…” However, Bogle couldn’t help but speak in an envious tone
“For your infor in the sixth rooil decided to make their position clear while he was at it
“Tck That’s the condition Grandpa Mangil set on his own I don’t know about you, Captain, but why il didn’t bother rebuking him Since the object was so precious, it was understandable that Bogle would complain, and his h That’s really aratulations! As expected, people who live a kind life are blessed” Bogle was envious, but he accepted Dalgil’s words and congratulated Chi-Woo with sincerity Dalgil’s expression also brightened He thought that at least one or two people ht claim ownershi+p over the reliquia, but everyone easily accepted his decision
“If no one has any more complaints, it’s decided”
Chi-Woo looked flustered He had been envious when Ru Aic sword, but he had never dreamed that he would receive such a precious item incomparable to the sword Chi-Woo tried to refuse once out of courtesy, but he couldn’t bear to open hissense of impatience to obtain it—not from himself, but froht be accurate to say that this expedition is for you and not for il tried to suppress his envy as hts And when he was about to finally lift the ingot—
