”Mm-hmm. Weena Lane's still in the back of this continent, and she said she's fighting”
”So this letter...”
”If I go to the back of the continent, can I see you?
”Hmmm......”
William openly caged his mouth. Come to think of it, they're the worst sinners of all time. Maybe he's not the one who says he can see you if you go.
”Why?
”I can't tell you”
”I mean, you mean personal reasons, right?
”Mmm.”
”Right...... First of all, it's where you are, but it will be the center of this continent. The former royal castle of the dragon kingdom. We should be living in that place and fighting even the abyss.”
”Central Castle”
”But you can't just go and see him. The castle where Trismegistos sits is restricted in access by the junction. You can't even get in and out without permission.”
”How do I get permission?
”I don't... Even if I think I have a recommendation from my teacher, I need a little more credibility. If you hunt demons on this continent and build up your medals, you'll get permission.”
William says permission from each branch manager is required to enter and leave the castle in Trismegistos.
Except in cases where kings of nations go out directly, they say only those with extra merit are allowed.
”I mean, should we work hard on the Goldician continent?
”Well, that's the thing. It would be in good shape to take a request in the Adventurer Guild. Achievements are easily visible. The point is, I just need to be able to prove that I made a huge contribution to this continent.”
”Okay. Good luck.”
”Uhm. Good luck with that. Only thing we can get out is permission to enter the Old Royal Castle. Trismegistos won't be safe until I see him.”
”What do you mean?
”Historians, playwrights, many who come and say they want to meet. Some of them have the back shield of a great power, and even this one has to give permission. But...”
William shrugs his shoulders with a bitter face.
Every year, Trismegistos is pissed off and killed.
”Is that okay?
”I don't have a choice. Just because God certifies you as a sinner doesn't mean you're under our control either. We can't even give orders here.”
I thought the image of Trismegistos was more sinful, that's what it feels like to be shackled and managed, but unexpectedly, he's moving freely.
”It's just officially going to be non-return... We're the ones who complain about it. I can't do it. If you're interested, you should stop.”
”Okay. Be careful.”
”Do that. And there's something else you'd like to hear, isn't there? Did you say it was a village place?
”The village of Castel. I have a map. This.”
Fran retrieved the map Amanda gave him and showed it to William.
”It's definitely with Castel... Just give me a minute.”
William takes a thin book out of the bookcase and starts to roll with the perks. Apparently, it's a cartoon-like book that puts together maps of this continent.
”There is no mention here...... Illegal village...”
”Illegal village?
”Oh, yeah. Inside the Gordician continent there are numerous villages and towns created by criminals, abandoners and fugitive slaves. Castel would be one of them.”
