"I'm home, Leon. Everything okay over here?

"Welcome back, Mr. Ars. Yes, I am. So far there are no reports of any new immortals in or around the Kingdom of Fontana.

That's great.

"I wouldn't say that. There seems to be a great deal of confusion, with the only information circulating being that communication with the Holy City has been cut off.　What are you going to do about it?"

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

"......Yes. It's been about 10 days since the Holy City disappeared, and no Pope or Cardinal has appeared who can use [Divine Transfer] something, right?"

"Yes. Unfortunately, the only Church official known to be alive at this time is Archbishop Paul. But Archbishop Paul is still in the world of God, isn't he?"

"Yes, that's right. Even if they wanted to return to the earth, they would have brought back the labyrinth nucleus from the basement of the Holy City. He is still in the Divine Realm.

"Then shouldn't we arrange for your early return?　Do you have any idea why you would not do that?

"Well, just in case. Well, it looks like we're ready. Shall we go then?

　After resting a little, I meet Rion again in the city of Fontana and exchange information with him.

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

　Rion has compiled information from all over the world, and it seems that there is still a lot of confusion outside the Kingdom of Fontana.

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

　But this is only the beginning.

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

　No other place can communicate information faster than Fontana, and it will take time before we know exactly what is going on.

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

　We can expect more confusion in the future.

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

　We need to limit its impact, at least within Fontana.

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

　For that reason, I have decided to take what I can do now.

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

　The first step was an audience with the King of Fontana.

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

　The King of Fontana, Garod Fontana, has already finished his baptismal ceremony, and Rion is now his tutor and teaches him this and that.

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

　He is still studying, so to speak, but there is no doubt that he is already the leader of this country at this point.

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

　I have formally requested an audience with the king, even if it is only a formality.

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

　The preparations for the meeting have been completed.

"...... So, the Holy City, the headquarters of the Church, has disappeared. However, we have managed to reseal the resurrected Immortal King and to destroy all the new Immortals. However, we cannot be too happy. We hope that the church will be restored as soon as possible. For this purpose, we would like to ask your permission to establish a gateway to the Divine Realm in the Great Church here in Fontana.

"Uh, yeah. I mean, ......, okay. Good luck, Ars von Barka.

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

Thank you very much. However, I am afraid that even if we rebuild the church anew, there will be a great deal of confusion. For this reason, we would like to cooperate more closely with you in the management of the church in the future. What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"The Kingdom of Fontana must not be confused. It would be better."

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

"Thank you. I will make the necessary arrangements immediately.

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

"Yes, please."

　At present, Archbishop Paul is considered the most powerful remaining church official.

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

　This Archbishop Paul was not based in the center of the Church in the Holy City, but in the Kingdom of Fontana to the north.

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

　And he has the achievement and merit that he rushed to the Divine Realm when the Holy City was in danger, without regard for his own danger.

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

　Then, it would be better to rebuild the church with Archbishop Paul's former base at the top.

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

　That means, of course, that the large church in the city of Fontana will be the one.

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

　This is the logic that I will conclude on my own in the absence of church officials.

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

　As a push for this, we ask the permission of the Fontana family.

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

　Of course, this was easily approved since it was mentioned to Garod in advance.

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

　And, in the meantime, we have a good reason to cooperate with the church.

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

　This means that from now on we can have a say in the running of the church, whether in Fontana or abroad.

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

　In other words, we have brought into the fold a neutral institution that until now has maintained a certain distance from all the existing powers.

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

　The influence of the Church is endless.

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

　For the nobles and knights, their ability to pass on their power to the next generation depends on the existence of the church.

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

　It is also important in the management of the city.

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

　Infrastructure such as [washing], [ignition], [lighting], and [drinking water] are all supported by the life magic given by the church.

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

　Furthermore, the salt that is currently being distributed is also greatly supported by the sales network of the church.

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

　In other words, without the church, the management of the territory would definitely suffer.

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

　Of course, it may be possible to cope with the situation without the church, but it will still not be the same as before.

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

　No matter how powerful a noble family is, it cannot escape the influence of the church.

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

"Okay. We have a word from the king. We must continue to get along well with the church."

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

"But I don't think we should do anything too radical. Please convince the new Pope Paul firmly, Mr. Ars.

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

"I know, Leon. I don't want to antagonize Pope Paul either.

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

　After the audience with Garod, Rion and I exchange arguments.

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

　Soon after that, I implanted the labyrinthine nucleus of the Holy City in the basement of the church and headed for the Divine Realm.
