"Leon, did you hear what he said?"

"Is that the story you are talking about, Mr. Ars, Carlos?　If so, my answer would be, yes.

"Yes. Ars has done something crazy again. He really does one unexpected thing after another.

"Yes, it is. Just as we were about to invade Uruk territory, we brought the Titan warrior to our side and succeeded in cutting off the Uruk territory with little or no damage. Not only that, but we also obtained the lost and fantastic metal from which the Nine-Tailed Sword was made. But it seems like Ars-sama that he did not stop there."

"What are you going to do with the Uruk territory you've cut out and left to your brother's bite? ....... What will he do? He will go deep into the forest and fight the immortals. He was fighting demons in the forest all last year, wasn't he?　Is it in your nature to always have to be fighting something?"

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

"No, I don't think so, Mr. Carlos. I think that the essence of Mr. Ars is something that has nothing to do with fighting. But that may become difficult because of this incident.

"I'm sure you're right. Of all the things to become a holy knight, to have the church perform the purification rite. ...... I never thought that a knight under my command would become a holy knight. This case is completely beyond my expectations."

"Yes, it is. I hadn't thought of that. I mean, it is a big deal for the archbishop of the church to come all the way to the Fontana territory to perform the purification ceremony. As I recall, the last time there was a purification ceremony for immortals was over a hundred years ago."

"It's been a long time since immortals appeared in the first place. But just knowing that they appear deep in that forest is an important piece of information. I now know that it is a place where dangerous things lurk.

"Yes. You will need to be very careful. But what shocked me more than that was the recognition of Mr. Ars as a holy knight. As I recall, the sword that Master Ars holds, the iron sword Granvalka, was transformed into a holy sword through a purification ceremony.

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

"Yes. It is said to happen very rarely. However, the birth of a holy sword through a purification ceremony is an event that has only occurred in the past and has left its mark in the lore. I am sure that the church officials did not think that this could happen in reality.

"Is it a holy sword? ....... Bishop Paul told me that a sword made of a very special metal, or a magical sword forged by a spirit, becomes a holy sword when a purification ritual is performed on that special item.

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

"Are you saying that the sword that Ars has is like that?"

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

Yes, it is. The tusks of the grambalka that Master Ars holds are made from the tusks of a newborn great boar juvenile. Normally, such an heirloom sword that needs to grow would be raised by the descendants of the family that owns the sword by pouring magic power into it for generations. However, Granvalka was different. It seems that Master Ars had hatched the Valkyrie, the messenger beast, by himself, and by pouring magic power into it, he made it grow rapidly from a small sword to the sword it is today.

"Using the magical power of the beast. But could that be the condition for turning into a holy sword?

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

"I don't know exactly. But a sword grown by almost the same magical power, without mixing the magical power of several generations of human beings, may be similar in nature to a sword forged by spirits. Moreover, the GRAMBARUKA has been made only a few years ago. In other words, it is still in the growth stage, and the mystical power of the Church, the purification ceremony, was poured into it.

"...... I see. So we can think that it was because it was in the stage of growth that it was transformed into a holy sword. But then, it would be ......."

"Perhaps Carlos is right. Assuming that the previous discussion is correct, there is a high possibility that Master Ars is able to create more holy swords. That is the reason why the Church has made Master Ars a knight of the Holy Order.

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

"Understood. Then, Ars must have a close relationship with the Church.

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

Yes. Originally, Master Ars has had a very close relationship with Bishop Paul of the Church. And now the name of Ars and Bishop Paul has spread not only in the territory of Fontana, but also throughout the Church.

"Impact on the Church as a whole: ....... That is to say, the whole country. Do you think everything around you is going to stay quiet, Leon?"

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

"No, it can't be. Even if holy knight is a title in name only, it's worth something. They will start moving soon.

"All right, get Ars up here, Leon. I'll tell him what's going on.

　A knight undergoes a purification ceremony.

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

　That alone is a big deal.

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

　But something even more amazing has happened.

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

　The iron sword Granvalka that Master Ars was wearing when he underwent the purification ceremony transformed into a holy sword.

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

　The birth of the holy sword.

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

　That's exactly the story as it appears in the story.

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

　According to an old legend, the first king of Japan also possessed a holy sword.

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

　The same quality was brought to us by Master Ars.

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

　The archbishop who performed the ceremony immediately made Master Ars a holy knight.

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

　The reason for this was the possibility of creating more holy swords.

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

　However, being recognized as a holy knight does not mean that Mr. Ars belongs to the church.

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

　It only means that he is recognized as an indispensable knight for the church.

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

　However, for Mr. Ars, who is a peasant by birth, the guarantee of his status by the church will have the effect of further encouraging Mr. Carlos to be knighted.

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

　Now no one will be able to say that Mr. Ars is just a peasant.

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

　But I really think that he does a lot of things when he is out of sight.

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

　I couldn't help but laugh at the unpredictability of what my brother-in-law will do next.
