================================
Volume 6
Chapter 042: Siva and Gabriel (2)
================================

Scion thought for a moment, closing her eyes, as she used these seconds to dig deep in her mind regarding Janus and Gabriel.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, "Right. You are that Gabriel."

"That Gabriel?"

"Old Janus said that your face was really epic when you first tasted that blend."

"...." Gabriel blushed and closed his eyes.

Tears rolled down his face as he nodded and then chuckled ironically before giving Scion a slightly warm smile.

"Thank you, Lady Scion. I really did begin to like that blend as well." after he said this, he lowered his head in the next moment, inhaling deep and exhaling loud before turning to Eleanor.

"Lady Envoy, I have been told by my Teacher of The Oracle's hardship and her imminent goal in this era. But unfortunately, I cannot help her on her ascension because I need to guard and make sure that the people chasing after the whereabouts of the eternal ethereal chains are not going to take it away instead of resealing its prisoner. On that regard, I have to stay in this continent and keep guard on the last spire*."

[A/N: There are five Great Spires that have been mentioned in Volume 3, Volume 4, and most notably and recently in Volume 5... where it became the reason why The Legion attacked Alexandria. On the ones mentions, the large 'ancient cannon' in Dragona is one, another is in Peneme, and the third one is in Alexandria]

Eleanor displayed a look of helplessness and she didn't say a word on the next moment, so Gabriel spoke and went on: "But you can go back to The Oracle not empty-handed. If you tell her that I am not available, she will understand. The Prisoner of the Ethereal Chains that I am tasked to watch over had been roused by the presence of the Devils in this piece of land so I have to keep the people away from entering that island."

Fuma, Thorn, Volt, and Kathleen took note of this.

Especially Thorn and Volt... because from the bit of information that they had 'hoarded' from Zaza and Redeye, there was a small mention of a very mysterious island that has a connection to their Providence Quest.

After he spoke, Gabriel gestured an open palm at her and an item —a medallion— appeared on his hand that he gave to her.

"Use this when she is ascending. It will isolate her resonance fluctuations to the bare minimum while the trial takes place. This will give her time to fight the temptation of corruption, and as well as give her the opportunity to ascend while not being hindered by the Devils. I assume that Siva agreed to your request so with him, your defensive force against the LAGRAM should be enough."

Eleanor accepted the item and bowed at him. "I thank the Great Immortal for your benevolence."

Gabriel waved a hand as Eleanor retreated. He faced Siva, his expression twisting into hostility, before inhaling deep to control his emotions and faced the people Siva brought along.

"I will need to talk to your leader in private. Since you are here, you can relax and take look around the temple. Aside from the items on the altar, you can check which items you can get in the temple. I only request that you only take what you can and leave the rest that you can't for the future generations of visitors and worshipers to this temple's owner. What items you can get here will depend on your fortune so I bid you good luck."
