TCF2-14

“That’s right, nya!”

Hong strongly agreed with Raon’s statement. On slowly moved to Mary’s side and patted her calf with her front paw. Mary opened her arms and On jumped up.

"Excuse me, but...”

Cale, who watched all of this, asked the Pope a question.

“I heard that the Emperor was the only one with the necromancer ability.”

Mary recalled what Cale had told her in the past while petting On’s head.

‘Mary. That is a place where being a necromancer is only reserved for the Emperor.’

An odd smile appeared on the Pope's face.

“That is because nobody other than the next Emperor survived.”

The mood sank down.

“That is how dangerous the test to pick the next Emperor or the next Imperial Crown Prince can be.”

“Is the test the same each time?”

The Pope shook her head at Eruhaben's question.

“No sir. It is different each time. They create a board to discuss and determine the contents of the test every time it is required.”

Furthermore, the contents of the test were revealed when they started to recruit candidates.

“Fairness and preparedness. It’s their way of saying they will look at everything.”

“No wonder the security around the capital is thorough.”

The Pope nodded her head at Choi Han’s comment.

At that time...

“It is inefficient.”

Mary finally made a comment. Cale turned to look at Mary. Although her voice was GPS-like as usual, Mary's voice was oddly a bit different from how she always spoke.”

“It will be more helpful to this world if there are multiple necromancers. I do not think that it is the right choice to make the test difficult enough that only one survives. Furthermore, they would have to focus on the Empire’s affairs once they become the Emperor, so I believe that they would not be using their necromancer powers out on the field very much.”

The Pope smiled bitterly as if she agreed with Mary but the words that came out of her mouth were stern.

“A necromancer is now the symbol of authority of the ruler.”

Mary closed her mouth and did not say anything else. Cale watched all of this and then started to speak.

“I guess we will need to infiltrate the capital first.”

They had no choice but to go there because the Black Bloods were in the capital.

“Yes, esteemed purifier. The capital is about three hours away from here.”

“It’s closer than I thought?”

“There are naturally some eroded areas within the Iska Empire, and this is the eroded area that is closest to the capital.”

In an area north of the Iska Empire's capital on the map... There was an area dyed black. The temple was at the center of that area.

“Is it okay to be here when they can kill you on sight?”

“You have to be close to the enemy to prepare for them. Also-”

The Pope’s gaze sunk down.

“There are no regular believers or priests here. Everybody here is part of the battle forces or rear support.”

The Divine Oracle had come down and the church believed that this was the time for some sort of change regardless of the purifier’s identity.

They only kept the people who agreed with them at this temple.

Cale did not ask for any more explanation. The Pope did not say anything else after noticing Cale's silence.

‘Our lord told us to treat the purifier as if we were treating him. I just need to follow the will of the purifier-nim.’

The Pope pointed to the Iska Empire’s capital.

“We are usually heavily clad in the armor of purification when we leave this area. We can see the barriers set up by the Empire if we go about one hour using a carriage covered by the power of purification.”

That was one of the defenses against the dead mana fog and usually maintained by black mages. Even then, they were unable to stop the erosion completely.

“We need to sneak into the barrier and go about two more hours on a carriage to reach the capital. Our temple has a carriage lined up so we should be good to use it.”

“That’s complicated!”

The Pope looked at the young Dragon who was overflowing with dignity as he suddenly interjected.

“Oh great Dragon, what do you mean by that?”

Raon looked at Cale and Eruhaben before answering the Pope’s question.

“Let’s just teleport there! Just give me the coordinates! We can get there in one minute!”

“Ah.”

The Pope gasped.

“...I see. Our side does not have mages but our esteemed purifier has a mage, no, a Dragon.”

The Church of the Fire of Purification did not have any black mages.

They definitely did not have any regular mages either. Those mages were even more precious than black mages.

The Pope asked a question that popped into her mind.

“Umm, the density of mana is quite low here. Would it be possible to teleport with multiple people?”

"Whether it is here or where we came from-”

Eruhaben spoke in a low voice.

"Mana is mana in the end.”

He reached out his hand.
