Volume 6 Intermission 6 (1/2)
Intermission: Lord's Secret”Baronet Leon Donan, over here”
”Yes”
At the center of the chapel near the royal castle that hiswith 20 sides shi+ning blue light while floating
Hiscrystal
”Leon, this is a City Core”
--City Core?
I stare at the City Core as if I'm charmed
”This is the reason thatlords different than other nobles”
”Reason, is it?”
Hiswords of question
”That's right The City Core draws abundant ical power from The Source, it's an artifact that exist for the purpose of letting the person who becoic power”
As if answering to his ht once
”Even if it's said that this City Core is an artifact, it's unknown if the core iswho once asked the Gods, but the answer never came”
”Then, just who is”
”I don't know At the very least, the method to create one is already lost at the present tie, Trazayuydono, attempted to recreate one, but he could only make a counterfeit with much lower performance at best”
I wait for his majesty to continue his words
I wonder what's the real intention of hisme this artifact?
”The story has diverted, I'm sorry”
”No, I've heard sos”
”Although it goes without saying that this talk is a secret to anyone but the one ill succeed royalty's or lords' house Revealing this to others is useless”
”--I understand”
Unpleasant sweats flow on my back
Why would his majesty tell me such secret?
Even though I'ock, I' more than a baronet
Just what is the king--
”Now then, let's get back to the topic The lord could establish this City Core to people so they could use it and uses ritual ic; you could create walls that could defend against attack froic that reduce aric that could manipulate weather”
Evenweather!
Handling enoric power fro demon that could equal sub-Gods
”That is like--”
I hesitate to continue the words on the verge of my mouth
Since the words are like sacrilege against Gods
”Like a living God is it?”
However, his htly
”There is no need to worry Gods will not needlessly interfere kings or lords It has been decided with the covenant between the Gods and the ancient kings”
The king said so, but there was a large country coering Gods
Shouldn't we be careful not to let out ious words?
Though a coward like
”The story keeps wandering offThe lord is special precisely because they could wield the core power to transcend human”
Hisit
”The rank of the governing lords depend on the scale of The Source they control Once, a lord raised his rank followed by numerous cities he had”
His e my reaction
I ti
”And then a king is a person who's followed by his lords And then, an es”
The difference between king and eht that it's just a difference in na
I express a question that has crossed my mind to his majesty
”Then, are guards and viceroy lords too?”
”No They're both representatives that lords have given authority to act on their behalves They could borrow the power of the City Core, but the master is still the lord”
--I see
With this I think I understand the reason why rebellion that guards and viceroy have caused in the history is suppressed
The reason why the rebellion have been able to be quenched isn't written in the history, but after seeing this, I finally can understand
”Also, as the holder of City Core, you can appoint new nobles in behalf of the king”
So that's the reason why marquis Lloyd isn't able to appoint chevaliers
I've always thought it's strange that a high-ranking noble couldn't appoint new nobles when earls of neighboring country could, but I understand now
”[nobles] are originally what people who control cities are called The rank of nobles is indication of the level of authority a representative had The one protecting the city is either baronet or a baron, the city's viceroy must be a viscount at least, those aren't just customs but in accordance to the authority level of the City Core”
I desperately try to understand his majesty talks, but it's too difficult to understand it all at once
”Oy oy, you should understand this”
Ashaize to his et so du out of my mouth
”Leon, today I will grant you Muno house name Go to Muno city, release the cursed and blocked City Core, and become the new lord”
