Bonfires are being built here and there along the riverbanks. Many people are gathered around them, and at first glance, it looks like a command center for some kind of large-scale construction project. Looking toward the back of the riverbed, a large number of tents can be seen. At the far end, two lodge-like buildings can be seen.

In one of the lodges, a girl and a boy were praying with the bishops before the meal.

... Our Lord, give us your grace. And destroy evil.

As if waiting for the prayer to finish, the door was opened and an adventurer-like man entered the room.

"Excuse me for interrupting your meal. Mr. Vieille, the path to the forest exit is complete.

Vieille's face lights up when she hears the voice.

"Well, then, we can head for the capital of Agartha, can't we?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. When you have finished your meal, we would like to move on. We will probably be able to leave the forest by the end of the day. And once we pass through the forest, we will be able to reach the capital of Agartha in about three days. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you, Master Vieille..."

Vieille answers with a smile and a gentle voice, just like her grandfather's.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No. This is nothing. How can the one who leads the people of Agartha to the heavenly path not be able to endure such an inconvenience? There is nothing to worry about.

The bishopess who was sitting next to Vieille, listening to the conversation, raised her voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's my Lady Vieille. That is a wonderful word. I am sure that Agartha will become a country that obeys the Way of Heaven with your pure and righteous heart. This path that Vieille has taken will eventually be called the path of Vieille's Passion.

"No, Jolina. It is neither thanks to me nor to us that Agartha will be a nation that follows the Way of Heaven. It is only because of the guidance of Lady Klimiana.

The bishops in attendance cheered.

"May the blessings of the Lord Klimiana be upon all of you gathered here. Let us eat before the food gets cold. And when you have finished eating, we will leave immediately.

With a smile, Vieille urged the bishops on.

About an hour later, the group left the riverbank where they had set up camp. Behind them, hundreds of believers were lined up in a row.

All of them had come by boat with Vieille and his companions. They numbered seven hundred, and were a very diverse group of people. They were followed by the bishops, dozens of magicians and warders, several hundred skilled swordsmen, and about four hundred members of the faithful, selected from all walks of life and more religious than anyone else.

This congregation faithfully followed the orders of the bishops. They were willing to accept any order. All of them felt the greatest joy in serving Vieille and Cassel.

In addition, the faithful carried the abundant food supplies and even the rooms in which Vieille and Cassel were staying. The lodge in which they stay is a modular structure that can be put together in an hour. With these materials and supplies on the wagon, they were slowly moving towards Agartha on a flat road made of earth and magic.

On the way, there were some attacks by demons, but they were eliminated without any problem by the sorcerers and swordsmen. The swordsmen were dressed like adventurers, but their clothes were highly resistant to magic, and they wore chainmail-like underwear underneath.

Vieille and Cassel are slowly making their way towards Agartha.

"Sister, as always, the path is very easy to walk on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, it is. It's great that you can make a road this long, but it's also great that you continue to make it so flat. It's wonderful that the magicians of the Church have continued to build such a flat road.

Jolina, a female priestess who had been listening to their conversation, calls out to them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This road is made to be very sturdy," she said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is that so, Ms. Jolina?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master Vieille and Master Cassel, please keep this in mind. The Irbezi River, which you walked along before entering Agartha, floods in spring. The melting snow is flowing in the river. In a few months, the path we have walked will be flooded. That is why we are making the paths strong enough to be used after the water recedes.

"It's wonderful. Jolina, you know everything!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Vieille happily listens to Jolina's story.

Even with the total of 700 members of the Church of Crimiana and the congregation of Aphrodite, the capital city of the Church of Crimiana, where selected believers from all over the world gather, not a single one of them had noticed. That their actions were constantly being monitored by the faerie dragons from above. And that all their conversations were being listened to by the spirits of the forest. All of their actions and conversations were being overheard by Linos and the others.

"I see. The road will still be usable after the water recedes. That's good to know."

I'm in my office clapping my hands in delight.

"That's why all the magicians who can use earth magic seem to be lying outside the forest.

It's Soleil reporting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course. I feel sorry for the sorcerers. But the information-gathering ability of the spirits of the forest is amazing. I'm glad Soleil is on our side.

"You must be joking. I owe all of my abilities to you, Mr. Linos.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. I would not have received these abilities if I had not received the mercy of Mr. Linos. Not only have I received the mercy of the Beloved, but I have also received this wonderful ability. As a woman, I am overjoyed. Now all I have to do is to have a child, Linos-sama, and I can say that all my hopes have been fulfilled.

"Well, God only knows."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

You are right, but if you don't try, you won't receive what you can't give. Please call me anytime, anytime. I will come to you at any time. You may come to my room at night when everyone is asleep.

"Oh... oh, hon."

Matkal is blushing and clearing his throat.

"Well, what have I done! I forgot about Mato."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lord Soleil, I don't want to talk about the navel... here..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ara, that's fine. It's just you, me and Mato here. Or is Mato saying that he doesn't want Rinos-sama's sympathy?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"U... I don't mean that..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Soleil, you shouldn't talk like that in broad daylight. Let's be a little discreet."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

My harsh words made even Soleil a bit depressed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, what the hell. Let the spirits of the forest continue to watch over the people of Crimiana. We're counting on you, Soleil.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir. I'm awed."

I give a small nod to Soleil and open the window of my office.

Sadakichi then disappears. A few seconds later, he reappears in front of me.

After confirming that Sadakichi has disappeared, I close the window again and sit down at the desk in my office and close my eyes.

"...So, you mean to say that the first group will arrive at Agartha before the second group leaves? It's a day's boat ride from Agartha to Garbee. So they are going to make a road, secure means of transportation, and send their followers to Agartha at once once once they have a good idea of where their base will be? If that's the case... That's a very careful move."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I open my eyes and look at Matkal.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mat, as you have just heard, the advance party of Klimiana is about to leave the forest. I want you to go ahead of them and bring the little girl and the boy back here.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Just the two of you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Well, I'm sure the bishops will come with you, so bring them along too. If they start to clamor about whether or not they're coming, tell them I have an oracle from the Lady Clymiana. Tell them that I have received an oracle from the Lord Klimiana.

"I... I... I understand."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, take it easy, all right? If you can't act, don't act. Mato is a terrible actor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's not true. I'm still leading an army. I have confidence in my calm and collected behavior.

"I'll be fine if you don't... today," he said, his face bright red and fidgety. Is that an act? But then, when I hug her, she doesn't let go of me."

"Hey! Oh, no. Uhhh... Heh, what about the umbilical cord..."

Matkal turns red and turns over.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You promised not to. Smansman."

I looked at Soleil and let out a laugh.
