The Baby Rising A Devil

Chapter 11

Turva talked about everything even before the vassals began. There was a sacred thing that had to be taken in order to deal with the Pope, which required money somehow.

'What nonsense is this?'

'What kind of a creature would have allowed Turva to commit this reckless fraud?'I wondered what the hell it was, but Nos brought back the rims of the holy things that were kept at the top. When I saw it, I opened my eyes in surprise.
'Etwal!'

It was the very holy thing that made Mina exert powerful power. The six-pointed star, the colored gem embedded at the end of the star, and the circle surrounding the star and the gem. It looks just like Etwal, the sacred object that Mina used to perform all kinds of miracles. Mina's was definitely platinum with strings and pendants, but this is gold. Each end also had a different species of jewel.

'It's not Mina's Etwal, which is being kept in the temple.'

Was there a paired sacred thing?

'But why wasn't it made public in my previous life?'

Etwal was a symbol of the country's religion. 'If a second Etwal exists, there is no reason why the church should not reveal it.'

'It would have been advantageous for the public to secure. The owner would have given it to the temple for public reasons.'Then, the Duke mumbled, closing his eyes.

"Second Etwal"

"Then it makes sense for Turva to do crazy things. Etwal is the decisive factor that made Neliad the religion of the empire."

"So where is this Etwal?"

"It's asleep in the sea. The only way to get it is to salvage it. The problem with that is......."

Nos gave the map with a troubled face.

"It's not the territorial waters of the Empire. It's just 10 meters away from the territorial waters of another continent."

The duke snorted.

"So the church couldn't come forward."

"Yes, because if they come forward, war will be inevitable."

The reason why Turva need huge funds is probably because his counterpart is the king of other continent. They won't just get by with small amount and invade the territorial waters.

"What should I do?"

"If it's really etwal, we have to secure it on our side."

"Are you going to make a deal with the king?"

"What are you talking about"

"So......"

The Duke, tapping the papers back at Nos, said

"We'll go to war."

He looked as if he needed to have a headache pill.

'Wow'

I was struck with astonishment at his amazing answer.

"That's good. I don't have to look for another gift for emperor's birthday."

Nos looked at me with a smile.

"This is all thanks to you. Would we have known the existence of the second Etwal had the Newt been broken? Also, you were able to prevent fraudulent transactions in advance by reading the ancient language."

Indeed, Dubbled's liteunant, deserves to be called a villain. You look happy that things are going to be easy even though there will be a war. I was a little shocked to see the hidden side of Nos, who usually seemed friendly. But it wasn't a bad thing for me.
