Book 6: Chapter 12.2
「The “Goddess” is probably the being who created the skill orbs.」his father said.
「…!?」
「Don’t go against it. If you go against it, this country will be easily destroyed. You can easily understand it by looking at the fellers who witnessed the “World Union” as a Pledger. Those guys are said to have been enthralled by the “Goddess”.」
「I have heard that too. The next Queen of Sylvis Kingdom, a territory under our direct control, seems to be spreading the “Goddess” faith. In the Kruvan Holy Kingdom, the predecessor King is in clash with the current Queen in regards to policies regarding the “Goddess”. The nobles are also split in two depending on which faction they belong to.」
「When I think about it now, I feel glad that neither I nor you were present at the place of “World Union”… but it’s frustrating not knowing what actually happened.」
「It is as you say, father.」
「Which means, what you should do right away is to get in touch with the Cardinal– former Cardinal Thomasson.」
「But he has already retired.」
「That old badger would not retire that easily even if he was baked or grilled. There is no way he would have left the Church during such a time.」
