Several days since Goblin Coalition incident!
Slane Theocracy.
Silksuntecks the Capital City of the Slane Theocracy.
Cathedral.
In one of the numerous majestic rooms in the Cathedral are six people seated upon a round table.
Five men and one woman.
Every men and woman are old in this room with all of them surpassing at least forty years of age, and some of them over sixty.
Each person wears very similar clothes to each other, all are clad in white priest-like clothes with expensive fabric.
The main features of their outfits would be their signifying hat, every single one of them is wearing the same green colored large hat. Their priest clothes are hidden underneath their different colored coats.
Brown, blue, purple, yellow, red and green.
Each one of them represents their own color and God.
These people none other than most important people in the Slane Theocracy.
The Six Cardinals.
The Commanders of Six Scriptures.
"Today we gathered to discuss appearance of 'Capitano' formally." Spoke Cardinal of Earth, he is cardinal associated with brown color. He appears to be in his mid forties with unshaved beard and rather short hair that's covered by his hat. His eyes are sharp and full of undisclosed wisdom, his name is Raymond Zarg Lauransan. "And disappearance of the former '9th' seat."
"That unknown warrior! If he did not try to meddle with my Scripture this all would have gone splendidly!" Snarled Cardinal of Light as he slammed his fist on the table in fit of rage. As mentioned, Cardinal of Light is a man in his 50s with bald head and shaved beard, completely clad in priest outfit with rather big chin on his head. His name is Yvone Jasna Delacroix.
"What happened with [Dominion Authority] you bestowed upon Captain Nigun? I was not informed since I was out of the nation for some time." Inquired Cardinal of Water, he is old man who appears to be in his mid or late 50s with long hair and wrinkled, very wrinkled face even compared to other Cardinals, his name is Zinedine Delan Guelfi.
"Sigh~ It can't be helped, my Windflower Scripture brought some very interesting news since the last actions 'Capitano' took." Commented Cardinal of Wind, he is in his 50s with short hair and keen eyes, out of the every person in this room he is probably most ordinary looking. His name is Dominic Ihre Partouche.
Gasp and hushed whispers started being spoken before Raymond silenced them.
"Silence! We don't have much time, we also have other priorities to shift not only 'Capitano'! Please continue, Cardinal of Wind." Spoke Raymond, his voice booming as thunder across the room, silencing them.
Despite being youngest, he holds most political and military power in the whole room. All contributed due to him being a former Black Scripture members himself.
Nevertheless.
"My Windflower Scripture are constantly keeping watch over Capitano's quests and his latest achievements. You may not be aware of this fact, but he joined hands with Brain Unglaus who joined his Adventurer's team." Spoke Cardinal of Wind, now fully catching attention of the other Cardinals. " Apparently, he and Brain had accepted mission to eradicate Goblin Coalition that formed from nearby Goblin tribes near E-Rantel, the quest was supposed to be high-end of Mithril-Class but due to wrong measured numbers of Goblins and appearance of Trolls along with War Troll it had been turned into Adamantite-Class quest."
"Tsk!"
"Brain Unglaus joining him? With this his team is Adamantite-Class officialy, even though Capitano himself is equal to Adamantite-Class team himself ." Commented Cardinal of Fire, she is old and short woman, appearing to be in her 50s with short brown hair and chubby body. She narrowed her eyes at Cardinal of Light. "Especially since he himself defeated Sunlight Scripture that even Blue Rose needed to band together to accomplish."
She holds huge respects for warriors and heroes.
"But what about former 9th Seat?" Asked Cardinal of Darkness, compared to others Cardinals, he has several books levitated around him right now before he placed one of them on the table. He appears to be in his early 60s with long hair and with small goate. As his title suggest, his priest coat is purple colored. "We need to return [Crown of Wisdom] into our hands sooner than later.."
"I suggest eliminating Capitano!" Snarled Cardinal of Light, but as always, everyone ignored him.
"My Windflower Scripture tracked Clementine movements till E-Rantel, where her trail ends." Spoke Cardinal of Wind, catching their attention once more.
"And apparently, Capitano is residing in E-Rantel, did Windflower manage to find some type of connection between them?" Asked Cardinal of Earth or Raymond, as he grabbed his chin thinking.
Cardinal of Wind shook his head in 'no'.
"Unfortunately there was not any connection they could find about till now." Was his swift and decisive response as he laid on his chair.
"Beside taking down Sunlight Scripture" A snarl was heard " And Goblin Coalition, did Capitano perform any other noteworthy feat?" Asked Cardinal of Fire as she leaned on her chair too before crossing her arms over her chest.
"He took down Two Skeleton Dragons and couple of Magic Casters from Zurrernorn Death Cult and also stopping future Undead disaster they were planning in E-Rantel city. " Cardinal of Wind informed before he sighed for what felt to be tenth time since this meeting started. " And after Goblin Coalition incident both Brain Unglaus and Capitano were promoted to Orichalcum-Class Adventurers, and I ordered Windflower Scripture to look into Capitano's Backstory and past."
"Good, but how should we proceed with taking back [Dominion Authority] from Capitano? From what we see, nothing short of Black Scripture members would be capable of doing so, and what are the chances that he won't use the same [Dominion Authority] on Black Scripture members? What if he doesn't have it anymore?" Questioned Cardinal of Darkness, causing silence to prevail over them.
He does speak correctly they tough, [Dominion Authority] is indeed Kingdom's treasure and something that Cardinal of Light gave Nigun in case of emergency, but it was stolen without even proper fight over it.
And taking it back might result in death of one or two Black Scripture members if Capitano activates same [Dominion Authority] especially since he appears to know the spell in question when he stopped Nigun from activating it.
It's simply not worthy losing two members over one time use summoning monster.
"We can still order her.." Spoke Cardinal of Light, it doesn't take much brain to understand of whom they are talking about.
"Absolutely no!"
"She cannot leave her position under dire circumstances!"
"No!"
Immediately, voice of disapproval came from other Cardinals, objecting Cardinal of Light's idea,
Raymond sighed at this, his colleague just wants revenge and to return his trump card.
But it's simply too risky.
But before this could accelerate further, he has to interfere.
"Enough! Calm down everyone, you all should understand that Sunlight Scripture had been destroyed, making one vacant space among other Scriptures!" Spoke Raymond before shifting the subject from [Dominion Authority] " I propose we enlist retired members from Sunlight Scriptures to return to their previous work."
Nods of approval were shared by everyone about this, this is only temporary solution, when new priests graduate they would take places of the oldest priests in Sunlight Scripture and it would continue on.
In a decade or two, Sunlight Scripture would be filled with new generations of priests by the current speed of their training and talents.
"We will put matter with 'Unknown Knight' Capitano on hold for now till next meeting. Because due to his actions we now have to pay reparations or face Re-Estize Kingdom in frontal war." Opened Reymond next dot in their meeting while shifting subject from Capitano to Re-Estize Kingdom.
"Damn Capitano! I will get my revenge against you one day!" Cardinal of Light slammed his fists on the round table once more.
But unfortunately for him, they ignored him once more.
What is Cardinal without their Scripture?
Nothing.
That's what everyone in the room though.
"What does Re-Estize wants for reparations regarding this matter?" Asked Cardinal of Darkness as he picked one of the floating books near him before opening it.
"They want sufficient amount of gold and nothing else." Was Reymond's swift response, causing Cardinal of Darkness's book to slip out of his hands as he gaped at Reymond.
"Really? When you said King of Re-Estize was a fool I did not expect for him to be to such extent." Commented Cardinal of Darkness as he picked up his fallen book from the ground.
"To allow corrupt nobles to command him so easily. He is truly unfit to be a King." Said Cardinal of Wind as he closed his eyes before sighing. " I suppose our decision for Baharuth to conquer Re-Estize still stands?"
Nods from other five members was the only confirmation he needed.
"If the King of Re-Estize was not a complete idiot he could have wanted more than just gold, but I guess having corrupt nobles on our side this time was blessing."
"Re-Estize Kingdom was truly huge failure.."
Change of POV: Velzard
It has been 2 days since I got promoted to Orichalcum-Class.
Guildmaster of Adventurer's Guild was quite eager to promote us as fast as possible to Adamantite-Class.
It's not as if i'm complaining.
Instead, i looked in the mirror at my reflection.
With my long pear-white hair, styled on ponytail behind my back elegantly. With gold headband resting on my head and blue star-shaped necklace that Velzard wore resting on my neck.
And my outfit is [Velgrynd's Dress] as this dress is the least revealing of them all, it's ultimately my favorite without a question. Even though it doesn't reveal much skin, it's skintight dress that reveals Velzard's curves.
With white stockings and white high heels on my white going well with Black colored dress. And my hands wearing elbow-long white gloves, giving that regal and noble-like look.
I do look like noble woman with this appearance and dress.
But you might be asking, what's the reason for me checking myself out?
Well, there is one reason. I want to check myself out first, and I'll go out with [Capitano's Armor] to shop for clothes I can find for me appearance, since I have couple hundreds of gold coins and some Platinum Coins, I'm gonna buy some very expensive clothes at best stores In E-Rantel.
Well, the reason is because I need something else to wear beside these dresses.
I need something more 'casual'. Don't get me wrong, these dresses are beautiful and I myself would like to see a woman wearing them but.
"I wouldn't exactly want to be the woman wearing them." I though as I glanced at my big bosom.
I was never familiar with sizes, but I'm pretty sure this is one of the biggest sizes there is. Are they equal to Tsunade's?
I groped myself for a few seconds.
Well, [Capitano's Armor] makes me look very much bulkier than real Capitano was, a bit larger body type than Brain, closer to Gazef.
It's all because of these!
I couldn't help scoffing at them.
For some reason, I don't have back pains that women have with big breast as these, it's all due to my Dragon anatomy probably!
