"In Liber, the protagonist of the story is the Empty Treasure—" Hyliga said his long-standing doubts and judgments, "Then in the Empire, I am afraid that there is more than one Treasure in the land of the Empire." ”

"I can't say the answer to that question yet." Arian Hurd was noncommittal, "All I can say is ...... The potential repercussions behind this incident will be far greater than that of the case in Liber. If nothing else, the level of participation and importance attached to "associations" alone is far from comparable. ”

"If possible, direct conflict with association was never my first choice. My purpose is to hold on to my own one-third of an acre of land in the subsequent civil war...... That's all. ”

"Really...... You're not like him. The latter said lightly.

"Do you mean Drakkers the Great? Yes, I'm not like him. Heiliga admits this, "And seriously, this war probably won't last long." After all, this is just the inevitable collision of two ideas and systems after the empire has developed to the present day...... And when he ...... And the torrent and chaotic times you live in are completely different. But if I'm not mistaken, he founded the current school, right? ”

Arian Hurd didn't speak, and Haley weighted her to acquiesce.

"Do you know what's hidden in that old school building?" This was what Heliga was most interested in in the school—the freely transformable space, the strange things that suddenly appeared, and the magic weapon that seemed to have existed for many years.

"It hides the embodiment of the Empire's years of fate, reincarnation and curse. As for what it is...... I'm sure you'll see it for yourself soon. Arien Hurd said.

"Is there something that repeats reincarnation every once in a while?" Heliga asked tentatively, satisfying to see the latter's expression change in that moment.

"What exactly?"

"Every two hundred and fifty years - something is brewing in the Empire. Long before the Lion Battle, there had been an invasion of the Imperial Capital by the Dark Dragon, right? Earlier times there seemed to be a deeper curse - just I haven't found the details yet. Also, what is the legend of the "great power" in the land of the empire? What is the origin of the elven faith? You must know all these things. ”

"How could you? ......" there was a hint of surprise on Arian Hurd's face, "This is not something that Levy can know......"

"Yes, Levy won't know, but what about Roscelia of Scarlet?"

“…… It's her. When this name was mentioned, Arian Hurd was a little distracted and in a trance for a moment, and his tone was full of indescribable emotion when he spoke again, "I didn't expect to hear this name at this time." ”

"You know each other." Helliga said.

"That's right...... At the time, she and I were the absolute help of Dlaikels in the "Lion Campaign". My Iron Cavalry is his right-hand man in battle, and she is a member of the Witch's family, providing him with a lot of occult help. After his death, the two of us parted ways and never had a chance to see each other again – was she okay? ”

"It should be fine." "Little ...... The figure is like that of a child, and he claims to have lived to be eight hundred years old. Has she always been like that? ”

“…… I think she's supposed to be a mature woman...... But I seem to have heard her say that the strength of her strength will affect her body to a certain extent, and maybe it's her weakening period now. The Seventh Pillar looked at Helliga with a different look than before, "Since she, as the guardian of this secret, she has already told you these things...... Then I'll tell you a little bit about the things of the year within the scope of the confidentiality of the "association" plan. ”

"What is the 'great power' that is divided into seven parts?" Arien Hurd's attitude changed, and Helliga immediately struck while the iron was hot.

"You three...... Let's go over there first. Arian Heard waved her hand away and chased away the three girls under her command, apparently she didn't want them to hear, "It's weird...... Do you already know that it is divided into seven parts, but you don't know how it came about? ”

"Rosey didn't have time to tell me, it seems that he left early because of lack of energy." Heliga pursed her lips, "She said that it was the 'witch' clan that guided the reincarnation and strife of this power...... It reappears every two hundred and fifty years or so. In this way, the period of the "Lion Battle" is exactly the same time as now, and there are many things in that history that seem to have been erased and cannot be explained from the current record alone. And...... All kinds of mysterious things have begun to surface, the relationship between major countries has begun to become delicate, and the times have begun to be turbulent again...... It's time to start this time again. ”

“…… It doesn't hurt to tell you. The so-called "great power" is a new power that was finally recombined under the entanglement of two powerful forces a long time ago. This force was powerful and violent, and it was completely uncontrollable for the early empire of Erebonia at that time. So the "witch" and the "goblin" came to the rescue, divided this power into seven parts, and set up a ritual to channel this power every once in a while so that it would not drag the entire empire into disaster. ”

"You were part of the ritual back then?"

"That's right. At the end of the war, together with Dreikels, I defeated the rampaging Scarlet under the control of the "Puppet Emperor" and sealed it underground in the imperial capital. ”

"Scarlet?"

"Huh...... I won't say too much about the specifics. Five out of seven of the seven parts of that battle were involved in that ritual. When it was all over, Dlaikels stayed in the Imperial Capital, becoming known as the "Lionheart Emperor" by word of mouth by your successors. Rossey said goodbye the night before he ascended the throne, and she has not been seen since. As for me...... It's back to the hometown of my heart, Lohengrin...... It is intended to wait there slowly until the end of life and return to the arms of the goddess. ”

"As a result, not only did you not die, but you also became a member of the "association"?" "Besides, the church probably knew that you were actually the 'Holy Maiden of the Gun' that they had canonized as a saint, but they still maintained an attitude like no one else. What's going on here? ”

"That's not what I can tell you." Arian Hurd said softly, "You've got the answer you wanted...... Now I'm going to ask a question. ”
