CHAPTER 078 Then it suddenly occurred to me. "Marquis, how did the mage find out about the temple's secret space?" Assuming they came in for a reason, how did an outsider like a mage even get inside the temple? "Could there have been an insider helping?" Lewis suggested that someone from the temple might have assisted. "Couldn't the mage have figured out the secret passage on their own?" "That's possible too." The problem was that without any concrete evidence, nothing could be definitively said. "The general expectation is that the temple might become reluctant to investigate the magic circle going forward." "But it was the temple that asked the Marquis for help in investigating the magic circle?" "Back then, they thought the magic circle was hundreds of years old. Now they know it's only a few decades old." "Ah..." "Given that it happened not too long ago if an insider really did coll...

CHAPTER 077 Oh my. Then what happens? I momentarily lost my train of thought. Lewis didn't leave me alone. "What are you thinking about while talking to me?" "Huh? Oh, nothing!" "Focus on me." His words, as he watched me intently, sounded more like a warning to keep an eye on me. ·······Yeah. I must have been thinking nonsense. "It's basic manners to focus on the person you're talking to. Of course, I should focus! Haha······." I nodded vigorously at Lewis's words. *  *  * During the week the delegation stayed in the Empire, Raven did many things. He had meetings with royalty, nobles, and the Empire's priests, and he listened to and comforted those who were troubled. And, contrary to what Lewis expected, there was an encounter with the Tower Master. The magic circle in the temple! Raven's priests requested that he examine the magic circle. Somehow, I ended up attending with Lewis. It's understandable that Lewis is here...

CHAPTER 076 "Receiving my blessing isn't easy, so you should be glad. Is there anyone who wants to be first?" Despite being a high-ranking figure, he didn't exude any distance and was quite candid. No one raised their hand. Bella, who would usually be eager, didn't volunteer this time. I tilted my head in curiosity, and Charlotte gestured to me with both hands. "I recommend Lady Elsner. I think Lady Elsner should receive the High Priest's blessing first." "Shall we?" "Oh, then shall I go first?" Raven, who was sitting at the center of the square table, stood up. He stopped in front of me as I remained seated. "Should I stand up too?" "No, you can stay seated." With a relaxed response, he reached out to my forehead. He whispered something softly, and soon I felt a cool sensation. The refreshing feeling spread from his fingertips through my head and gradually permeated my entire body. After a moment, he withdrew ...

CHAPTER 075 The valet standing at the door loudly announced the entry of the delegation. "The High Priest of Marbel is arriving!" What kind of person is the High Priest? Would he exude kindness as Charlotte and Michael had described? Nobles who had never seen the High Priest of Marbel before also waited with curious faces. "Finally...!" I heard Charlotte mutter softly at the same table. But something seemed strange. The first face to appear as the doors opened felt very familiar... "What?" "What's this?" I wasn't the only one surprised. Bella, next to me, made a startled sound. It was him, the old man who had picked up a wallet and gotten into trouble with those bad men, Raven! That person was the High Priest of Marbel? "He truly looks benevolent, just as they said." Charlotte fixated on him and didn't notice the expressions on Bella's and my faces. Benevolent? His relaxed smile was indeed as Michael had described, but h...
