He couldn't help but develop the habit of facing his opponents with an upright posture, after all, he had lived as a knight for too long.

I said, smoothing out the coat.

“It’s better if at least one person is higher.”

“.......”

“That way, they can catch you when you fall.”

“......Is that so.”

Her deep eyes seemed to be looking through a book of the past. I didn't bother her and just silently stroked her tassel.

That was when.

“Eek, Lord Matap! Lord Matap is here?”

“What kind of divine power is this in the room of the Magic Tower...... Ah, my goodness, Your Holiness the Holy Spirit?!”

[The atmosphere of 'Judging the Soul' was in full swing, but now the troublemakers have appeared and I'm indignant.]

It seemed that the magicians of the Magic Council had sensed my divine power and were running towards me.

“W, this can’t be happening. Have you awakened to the 9th level?”

“Yes, that’s what happened.”

“Oh, congratulations, Your Majesty.”

Because some of the Magic Tower was included in the sphere of influence of the last dungeon sync, many of the senior magicians were dragged into the dungeon.

After witnessing me defeating Moriel and realizing that Reed had prevented the temple from collapsing with gravity control magic, the elder magicians' attitudes became considerably more cooperative after that.

Of course, there was nothing I could do about my petty personality.

“But was it really necessary to awaken at the Magic Tower.......”

“This is called the Magic Tower, but it’s a bit strange that the divine power is detected to be higher than the magical power...”

“This amount of divine power exceeds the Magic Tower’s allowable standard by over a hundred million times. Please be careful... big.”

Well, everyone was watching Reed's reaction so they couldn't finish speaking.

No, except one person.

“Aha! It was the 9th level awakening! I thought you used the divine descent?”

“What? Morifis, why are you here?”

A head of sky-blue hair was visible. The man, with a pale complexion overall, stood out from the crowd.

Odelit, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Reed, was sent to the border, and his assistant, Morifis, was sent to a magical agency in the outback. It was a sort of demotion.

“Why are there people here who shouldn’t be here?”

“I came to see the new couple!”

I wasn't curious about personal circumstances. The answer I wanted came from the mouth of an elder wizard.

“The Marcellion family is a founding family. They have the right to pardon that has been passed down through generations, and the Chimera researcher used it this time.”

“Morifice must have been a headache for the Republic of Magic. What about the accidents he’s caused so far? It’s surprising that he still has the right to pardon.”

“There was no need to use it until now!”

Morifis shouted proudly.

“I’m an 8th Circle Archmage! The previous Magic Tower Master was only slightly better than me, so he couldn’t control me!”

This means that the judiciary was completely powerless against Morifis. There was no one in the Republic of Magic powerful enough to punish him.

“You lived completely alone in an extraterritorial state.”

“That’s right! But the new master is much stronger than me, so it won’t be like before. Wasn’t it worth saving the right of pardon? Thanks to that, we were able to meet again so quickly!”

“No, not at all.”

I feel uneasy because it seems like Morifis is showing me a one-sided friendliness. I hoped it was just my imagination, but sadly it [N O V E L I G H T] wasn't.

Morifis turned his face toward me, his silver eyes shining brightly.

“The New Testament.”

"why?"

“I will be conducting long-term research on you in the future. Do you permit me to do so?”

“What? Research?”

Morifis seemed to have taken my sudden question as curiosity and explained it excitedly.

“As you know, our world has been losing its divine power, and recently, it has accelerated. However, since you declared the Unryongyo, the lack of divine power in the world has been improving. It’s as if divine power is being supplied through you!”

"okay......?"

“I am very interested in this phenomenon. That is why I named it the ‘Divine Supply Path’ study! This study will definitely help advance humanity’s understanding of the world, God, and Divine Power!”

“Ohh.......”

As I listened to it, it felt quite plausible, so I was honestly touched.

'Even though Morifis was a madman, I think he was at least sincere when it came to magical research?'

But it was a foolish idea.

“So first of all! I want to study your body, the medium! Every nook and cranny!”

<What the hell is that crazy guy?! Ailet, kill that bastard!>

A cold murderous aura permeated the room. Was it Agnes's or mine? I was confused, but it was neither. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
