　What a surprise.

　Can the human heart become so desolate?

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

　No, I don't think so.

　There is no right or wrong, but instinct.

　But I never thought we would end up in this situation.

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

　Perhaps it is because of the great impact on the Holy City and other cities destroyed by the Divine Enemy Naja and what is left of them.

　The surrounding lands were severely damaged by the large amount of salt.

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

　It seems that salt damage occurred not only in the vicinity of some of the destroyed cities, but also over a wider area of land due to rainfall and other effects from there.

　This has caused a significant decrease in crop yields and the disappearance of towns where food was stored has had a serious impact on the society.

　People fought each other for food.

　Normally, the solution to such a situation would come from the local authorities.

　However, in the areas that were severely affected by the salt damage, the nobles themselves were killed by the naja.

　Then, who would be the next most dependable entity would be the royal city, which is located close to the holy city in terms of distance.

　Memento's army withdrew to their own lands, taking with them their precious treasures.

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

　Instead, it was the Reinsatz family that liberated the capital and became the hegemonic aristocracy.

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

　The Reinsatz family must save the ruined city at any cost.

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

　If they did not take any measures, they would have been responsible for the current poverty of the city, even though they had rescued the city from the Memento family.

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

　For this reason, the Reinsatz family, which had become the aristocrats of supremacy, was spending heavily on the relief of the metropolis.

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

　Then came the collapse of the Holy City and a number of noble families.

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

　To save all of them would have been extremely difficult, no matter how hard the House of Reinsatz might have tried.

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

　The Reinisatz family's response fell behind.

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

　The suburbs of the former Holy City were still fine.

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

　However, the ruined nobles' territories outside the Holy City were not saved to the satisfaction of the Reinsatz family.

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

　In hindsight, this was a big mistake.

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

　Because of the presence of numerous wizards in those areas.

　The series of events in Naja was not yet over.

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

　Naja's domain included the lands of old Hekail and old Gizania.

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

　There, to our horror, even the priests of the church were under Naja's control.

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

　And those who were named by the priests were subsequently able to use various kinds of magic.

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

　These were needy people who used magic that several nobles must have had.

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

　Their actions were very simple and logical.

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

　If they had nothing to eat, they would take it from others.

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

　In this way, the surrounding area was filled with thieves at once.

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

　And the Reinsatz family and the surrounding nobles were slow to react.

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

　No, but they have a point.

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

　It was extremely difficult to deal with such a large number of bad bandits who even used magic.

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

　Thus, the surrounding area was quickly transformed into a bleak and hellish situation.

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

　Those who have the power get the food.

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

　Those with no power have no choice but to form a clique to fight against them.

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

　Thus, several gangs of thieves were formed, and they even began to compete with each other for food and goods.

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

　They are just ordinary people who are supposedly just in need of something to eat.

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

　However, the powerful people and organizations started to try to monopolize the wealth.

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

　It is the people without power who are in trouble.

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

　Especially, children and women who have no relatives were becoming nothing more than a target to be used by the bandit gang.

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

　I wanted to stop this at all costs.

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

　So I set up a house near the site of the Holy City and gathered such children.

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

　The thieves did not touch me, the archbishop, or those under my protection.

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

　After all, they needed someone who could heal them.

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

　But who knows what will happen in the future.

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

　I was wondering if I could bring the chaos and the fighting under control.

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

　Then one of the children said to me

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

　A plant is growing at the site of the Holy City.

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

　When I heard that, I thought it was impossible.

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

　I thought that the Holy City was the place where the salt damage was the worst and not a single grass would grow there.

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

　But a number of children told me, so I went to see for myself.

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

　And I found it.

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

　A miracle plant called salt grass.

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

　This salt grass removes the salt that is affecting the land.

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

　Moreover, if used properly, it can be a weapon to seize control of a band of thieves.

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

　The moment I saw the salt weed, I thought I heard the devil whispering inside me.

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

　I thought that I could capture the powerful organizations around me with an aphrodisiac that was once used by the apostles of God.

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

　After food and money, the next thing they would want would be the opposite s*x.

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

　Then this salt herb can be a forbidden fruit.

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

　For I have heard that once you use it, you will be hooked like no other.

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

　And then there are the women who have nowhere else to go with me: .......

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

　But I wonder if I'm crazy for thinking this way.

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

　I was thinking of starting the preparation of the medicines when, for the first time in many years, I went with my children to the site of the Holy City to collect salt grass.

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

　He appeared.

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

　A boy suddenly appeared at midnight under the moonlight.

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

　Riding on a white shining divine beast that seemed almost mystical, and holding a gently shining sword in his hand, he carried me away to the heavens with the entire site of the Holy City in his hand.

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

　This is how I met him.

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

　I met Ars Barca, the boy who claimed to be the shield of God, and in the name of cooperation, my future was quickly placed in his hands.
