Isekai Adventure in the Dimensional Cube-Chapter 1441 - 1014: The Connection Between the Three Items
Soon, under Melo’s guidance, Reiger and his party boarded the massive floating magic-guided battleship and entered the ship called the Sphinx.
The interior of the ship was much more spacious than Reiger had imagined. Unlike those military battleships, which felt heavy and cold, it was exceptionally bright and full of a sense of futuristic technology.
Although in a world that has supernatural powers like magic, talking about technology might seem absurd, the inside of the floating magic battleship indeed gave Reiger a feeling akin to future technology. It was like the interior of a space station or a cosmic base, making Reiger wonder if he had traveled into a world like Marvel and boarded S.H.I.E.L.D’s helicarrier.
Hmm... It seems like the style has changed entirely.
But, I must admit, this feeling is quite refreshing.
Reiger had never experienced anything like this, either in his past life or this one, so he felt somewhat intrigued for a moment.
"Would you like to visit the bridge, Your Excellency?"
Perhaps noticing Reiger’s thoughts, Melo proactively suggested.
Reiger thought for a moment but eventually shook his head.
"Let’s not complicate things; let’s just set off."
Imagine if he really went to the bridge; it would undoubtedly cause quite a stir.
If it were just him, Reiger wouldn’t mind exploring around, but being surrounded like this, he wasn’t inclined to roam around.
"Then I’ll take you back to your room, Your Excellency."
Melo seemed a bit disappointed but didn’t go against Reiger’s wish and began to lead the way for Reiger.
The guards from the Holy Sword Church, who were walking with Reiger, dispersed, either to stand guard or patrol as planned. Even the two bishops left, seemingly heading to the deck or bridge for a personal inspection.
Only Naisa continued to stay by Reiger’s side, appearing determined to guard him closely and not planning to leave his side.
Melo glanced at Naisa, who continued to follow, but said nothing.
Her companions also left her, leaving her alone with Naisa to accompany Reiger.
The room Melo arranged for Reiger was on the topmost level of the Sphinx.
This seemed to be specifically designed for guests of distinguished status. When Reiger entered, the scenery before him was nothing less than a luxurious presidential suite.
Not only was it spacious, but the decor and furniture were also quite high-end, and a large bath was even installed in the corner.
"This is your room, Your Excellency," Melo said to Reiger. "This journey will take approximately six days, including time for mid-journey stops for supply and routine inspections."
"Your destination is not within the Karedohart Empire, and we have to pass through several countries on the way. Although we have notified each country in advance about the Sphinx flying over their territory, coordination and preparation are still needed to avoid unnecessary obstacles along the way."
"Of course, if you are in a hurry, Your Excellency, we can disregard these countries’ opinions. The same applies to supplying, as the resources on this ship can last a long time."
"That way, we could reach the destination in just two days."
Melo’s voice was gentle, yet a sense of assertiveness was easily discernible.
Ignoring the opinions of countries passed along the way—such words could probably only be uttered by somebody from one of humanity’s two great empires, like the Karedohart.
"Let’s follow the usual procedure," Reiger shot a glance at Melo and said, "Six days isn’t that long; I can afford that much time."
"Alright." Melo naturally had no objections. "During these six days, this room will be at your disposal, Your Excellency."
"If you have any other requests, use this to notify me."
Melo handed Reiger a crystal.
Undoubtedly, it was a magic crystal used for communication.
However, the communication magic crystal of this world was much more advanced than those on the continent of Akasha.
Without needing to record a magic wavelength beforehand, you could use this magic crystal to communicate anytime with anyone else possessing a communication magic crystal. Additionally, if you didn’t want nearby people to overhear the conversation, you could communicate mentally.
"It’s simply a prop version of ’Message’."
Reiger scrutinized the magic crystal for a moment before accepting it.
"I’m right next door to you, Your Excellency."
At this moment, Naisa spoke.
"If there’s anything, you can call me anytime, Your Excellency."
Apparently, Naisa had not informed Melo of this plan beforehand.
At least, Naisa staying next door to Reiger was not something Melo had arranged.
Melo threw a seemingly amused glance at the young Female Pope but said nothing.
After all, besides this room, there were two other rooms on the topmost level, one directly to each side.
The Pope occupying one of them was certainly appropriate.
Undoubtedly, the last room belonged to her, Melo Careadohart.
This wasn’t just for the sake of security or protection.
Melo really wanted to have a good chat with Reiger and deepen their connection.
Whether due to personal interest or considering the empire’s position, forming a good relationship with this savior—who hadn’t appeared in eleven thousand years—was certainly advantageous.
Melo was also eager to know what was so special about this savior, recognized by the Holy Sword, and chosen as the master of the Holy Sword Marfa.
Undoubtedly, the empire’s people would also be glad to see their Grand Princess connect well with the rumored savior; even developing a relationship beyond friendship would be welcome, right?
At the very least, last night, her father had hinted as much to her.
But... before that, let’s bring over the "gift" to this savior, shall we?
Thinking of that so-called gift, Melo’s eyes flickered with a strange light, but she quickly suppressed it.
"Please, Your Eminence, follow me."
Melo turned to Naisa and said.
"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Princess." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Naisa replied indifferently, then followed Melo, turning back every few steps as they left Reiger’s room.
Before long, the two girls, famed throughout the empire, vanished beyond the door.
"Phew..."
Only then did Reiger breathe a sigh of relief.
"Finally, some time alone, it’s truly exhausting."
Reiger loosened his collar, as if wanting to catch his breath, and sat down on the sofa.
Although he didn’t say it, being arranged for such a grand occasion, Reiger still found it rather overwhelming.
He wasn’t unfamiliar with grand events, but so big a spectacle, to be honest, he hadn’t encountered many times.
And when he became the center of such an occasion, where every word and action could affect those around him and countless eyes were upon him, Reiger realized just how exhausting it was to operate in such a setting.
"Buzz!"
The Marfa’s Sword, fastened to Reiger’s waist, flew out of its sheath, darting back and forth like a released bird.
"Come here."
With a thought, Reiger extended his hand toward the air and called out to Marfa’s Sword.
"Whoosh!"
The Marfa’s Sword obediently swooped over and once again landed in Reiger’s hand.
Grasping the Holy Sword, viewed as a divine artifact by all living species in the Source World, Reiger gently closed his eyes.
A connection resonated through the holy sword, binding his bloodline to it, affirming to Reiger that he had indeed gained the acknowledgment of this holy sword, originating from the same source as Moslo’s Sword, and had become its master.
"Why did it choose me?"
Reiger softly caressed the blade of Marfa.
The Holy Sword Moslo had selected the ancestor of the Reinnaier lineage.
The Holy Sword Marfa, in turn, chose Reiger, who, like that ancestor, traversed dimensions from the continent of Akasha.
There must be a connection here.
"Naisa mentioned that aside from the Holy Sword Moslo, the other two holy swords have never been wielded by anyone since ancient times, unable to be acknowledged or mastered by anyone."
"Even descendants of the Reinnaier lineage, who had traveled using the power of the dimensional cube from the continent of Akasha, could only wield Moslo and couldn’t gain acknowledgment from the other two holy swords."
"Does this imply that a person can only gain the acknowledgment of one holy sword, and then that sword will only acknowledge the bloodline descendants of that person?"
As he stroked the blade of Marfa’s Sword, Reiger fell into deep thought.
"When Moslo Reinnaier came to this world, he was still an ordinary man, yet he possessed an extraordinary iron capable of forging three holy swords."
"What was that extraordinary iron?"
"What connection does it have with the dimensional cube?"
Reiger still remembered the inexplicable sensation he felt when he came into contact with Moslo’s Sword and those two pieces of hide maps.
Reiger felt that the inexplicable sensation must have been due to the dimensional cube.
Whether it was the extraordinary iron that forged the three holy swords or those two pieces of hide maps, they must have a mysterious relationship with the dimensional cube.
Therefore, when he, the possessor of the dimensional cube, encountered them, he experienced such an inexplicable sensation.
"And this necklace..."
Reiger couldn’t help but touch the spot where his hidden treasure concealed Meloa’s Divine Presence.
This necklace also gave Reiger an inexplicable sensation at the time.
Intuition told Reiger...
"The core material of the holy sword, the extraordinary iron Moslo Reinnaier brought to this world."
"The emerald on Meloa’s Divine Presence."
"The hides made into maps."
"These three things not only share the same origin, but they might even be made of the same substance."
That substance is most intimately connected to the dimensional cube, indirectly eliciting a sensation in him, the possessor of the dimensional cube.
Thinking of this, Reiger took out the two hide maps and the Meloa’s Divine Presence hidden at his neck, placing them alongside the Holy Sword Marfa.
"What connection do these three things have?"
Reiger muttered softly.
