Meanwhile, I was standing in front of the stationery store window and looking out. However, I saw a huge carriage blocking my stationery store.
"What are you doing, is this?"
The carriage was engraved with the seal of the House of Babyloa. Sheria was very concerned about people's eyes, so there was no way she would do such a bold thing. So there must be only one person who pulled this carriage: Meldenik's father, the Duke of Babyloa.
Dominic muttered in admiration. "That crazy old man, maybe he wants to be friendly with you too?"
The Duke of Babyloa often sent letters to me, as if he had not let go of his lingering attachment to me even after I was excommunicated. Of course, I tore them cleanly and ignored them.
Now he's even coming to me.
"I don't think you're really insane, as you said?"
I saw a vassal sent by the Duke of Babyloa fluttering in front of my stationery store. He looked around and saw that no one was watching, then put the small letter in the mailbox and quickly got back into the carriage.
"I really don't understand two things in the world." Dominic brought his face close to the window and opened his mouth.
"What is it?"
"You don't understand the good side, and your father…"
I frowned and drew a line straight. "Father. Did you forget that I was excommunicated? Now that person and I have nothing to do with it." And it was best not to make contact with people who had nothing to do with it. So I nodded at Dominic.
"Dominic. Can't you use magic to push that carriage a little farther away? People who tried to enter the stationery store won't come."
Dominic beckoned to the carriage. Then, with the sound of the carriage whizzing, it was pushed towards the building that the Babyloa and Hesmann families had collaborated on. The vassals in the carriage were probably in a state of confusion.
Come to think of it, that building is almost complete.
It was also strange to see that the first building Hildegard had built was almost completed. Now Sheria would sell holy water and holy relics in that building.
"Dominic."
"Huh?"
"Is the investigation of that building complete?"
"I did, but I haven't tried to kill anyone or plot anything yet. Holy relics and holy water are kept safe."
"Oh, really?"
"I think the priests are quite powerful. Besides, I can't even guess what kind of power the divine power is." Dominic shook his head.
Just as I didn't know much about divine power, Dominic seemed to be the same. So for now, I had no choice but to continue to observe that building.
"I'm going to keep following you for now."
Dominic said he would come back while remembering, and quickly summoned the magic sword in his hand. He cast an invisibility spell on himself, handed me a sword and a video orb, and whispered briefly.
"I have a feeling that something is going to happen."
After Dominic left, I was met with an unexpected visitor.
"Isaac! What's going on?"
Isaac was holding something like a round egg in his hand. He handed me a round egg, the size of two eggs combined.
"How are you, Mel?"
I looked at him with puzzled eyes. Isaac and I sat side by side in the stationery store. In my hand was the egg that Isaac had given me earlier. I felt a very hard shell on my palm, which made me feel strange.
"What is this, Isaac?"
"This is a dragon egg."
Is it a dragon's egg…?
I opened my mouth in surprise.
Why did you give me the dragon's egg?
No, before that, can I hand over dragon eggs like this, like ordinary eggs?
However, Isaac continued to explain about the egg, or rather, the dragon egg, with a nonchalant expression.
"Yes, it is quite tricky to hatch a dragon, although it often dies in the egg…" Isaac muttered in a low voice. "Still, I said you were blessed by the dragon." His delicate gaze touched my face. "I was hatching it, and I thought that if it did well, it might be your ally, so I brought it here."
There were many things I wanted to ask, like how he got the dragon egg and if he could just give it to me, but I couldn't say anything. I thought that it might be helpful to me, so I was happy to hold such a precious thing calmly.
I stroked the shell of the dragon egg and smiled brightly. "Thank you. So how should I raise him?"
"No one knows that." If the Master of the Magic Tower doesn't know, it means that no one in the world really knows.
"I don't know how they hatch?"
"Oh, did you hear that? I think there will be something interesting today."
"I heard that the Babyloa family has a small reception."
"That's right." Isaac's unexpected gaze came to me. "Mel, were you going to attend the reception they opened?"
I shook my head and opened the video sphere that Dominic had handed me. "No, I don't."
Isaac nodded at my firm words. "Still, I didn't know what to do, so I asked Dominic to go there. Right now, Dominic is infiltrating with invisibility magic." I waved the video sphere in front of him. "Then let's check the video now, shall we?"
"That… If you are not a sorcerer with considerable skills, it will be dangerous." Isaac looked worried.
Oh, that's right. I haven't revealed Dominic's identity yet.
He once used magic in front of his eyes, and he also showed him tracking down the collateral blood relatives of Marquis Kinnoa, so he must have noticed that he was a talented person who hid his identity to some extent. But he wouldn't have guessed that he was the famous heroic sword, Dominic.
"I'll be able to reveal Dominic's identity soon." I laughed embarrassedly and changed the subject. "Hmm… I'll explain it to you later."
Fortunately, he didn't ask any more. He seemed to notice that I was embarrassed. After all, he was a person who was considerate in every attitude.
…Why do I keep seeing only his good parts?
Suddenly, I felt the corners of my mouth soften, and I held my breath.
"Let's take a look."
After shaking the video sphere a few times, a screen appeared in it. Inside the large and colorful hall, I could see the interior of the reception hall filled with many people.
"You're sharing your vision directly with Dominic."
"Yes, Dominic probably sticks to the wall." Dominic seemed to be well hidden in the reception hall of the Duke of Babyloa.
I observed the situation and carefully watched the video with my arms crossed. I saw Sheria and Lennox on the platform of the huge hall. Sheria, who was standing in the center, shouted in a tone that sounded as if she were trembling and overwhelmed.
"I would like to announce the sacred agreement between the Empire and the Holy Kingdom here."
Sheria met people's eyes one by one with a gentle smile. "We are going to distribute the holy relics and holy water produced by the Holy Kingdom at the top of our Babyloa and Hesmann families."
Sheria looked at Lennox and smiled softly. It seemed that people were very comfortable expecting what they were selling. She continued her words as if focusing on her lines.
"I also have the holy blessing that makes the seated walk on it."
People were bursting in admiration. Lennox added to her. "We will also sell items that allow the blind to see as soon as possible."
You have all kinds of good things attached, right?
In any case, if that was true, it would not be unreasonable to cause a great stir in the Empire. Dominic sent a message in a suspicious voice.
"I don't feel that much divine power in the things they brought."
Really? Then can you take a closer look?
That's right.
Dominic responded arrogantly and then sneaked around the reception hall. He even went to the side of the man holding the holy water and observed it.
I hardly feel anything like divine power. I don't know if these bastards are pure scammers.
However, in the original work, Sheria certainly actually performed miracles.
And that was the time. While the people were distracted by the holy water that Sheria handed out and the various necklaces she handed out, such as mirrors, jewels, and bracelets, Duke Hesmann spoke up.
"Attention. From now on, I will talk about the most important thing."
He crossed his arms with an arrogant face and looked down at the people below the platform.
"The Pope even gave Sheria the light that dispelled darkness, the holy sword that drove away evil a hundred years ago."
Holy sword?
I was startled by the unexpected words and pulled myself towards the video sphere.
"Oh…"
"Holy sword? Holy sword!"
The holy sword was never common. It was a precious item that would come out once in a generation. In addition, the Holy Sword, which is a blessed sword, is rarely taken outside.
"If the Pope really gave the Holy Sword, wouldn't he be his closest aide?"
I could feel people cheering in surprise at the word "holy sword." If that's true, it's a huge thing. However, the Holy Sword was not present in the original work.
What happened?
I narrowed my eyebrows and began to focus on the situation.
