Chapter 1120: Crown (2)
Chapter 1120: Crown (2)
As we were heading to the special room with the crown, I could feel Saintess Irene looking at
me.
She didn’t even bother hiding the fact that she was looking at me, she was openly looking at me with this gaze that seemed like there was something that she took issue with.
I didn’t even need her to say anything to know what she was thinking.
It was no doubt related to the fact that I was leaving the Holy Empire as soon as the matter with the Crown of Wisdom was over.
I had seen the way that she had looked at me…or rather the way that she had looked at the Mark of God on my hand, so I knew exactly what she was thinking.
I knew exactly what she wanted.
So of course she wasn’t happy to see that I was leaving this place, or once again, it was better to say that she wasn’t happy to see the Mark of God leaving this place. This Holy Empire could be considered the holy land for all religions, the place that one would want to go if they had anything to do with religion.
So the Mark of God was the thing that they wanted in their territory the most.
It was just that I didn’t have any reason to stay here since this wasn’t the place for me.
I just ignored the way that the saintess looked at me as I followed her to the special room with the crown.
When we arrived at that room, it was clear just how important this place was to the Holy Empire. The amount of guards that were here was not something to look down on and at the same time, it was clear that every single one of them was an elite.
Klein and my guards immediately narrowed their eyes to look at these knights that were here, as if they could feel the threat from them.
When I looked at Klein, he just simply shook his head.
He was admitting that he and the others wouldn’t be able to do anything against these knights.
Simply put, it would be a slaughter if there was a fight.
However, we weren’t here to fight them.
Saintess Irene was the one that went forward to say to the knights, “We’re here to see the Crown of Wisdom, this is the holy son.”
Though she said this, the knights didn’t move out of the way. With the way that they stood there, it didn’t seem like they were planning on letting us pass.
It wasn’t because they wouldn’t let us pass, it was because of something else.
The knights turned to look at Klein and the others before their leader said, “They cannot enter.”
It was to be expected that they wouldn’t let Klein and the others in, I had already assumed that this was the case.
Only to my surprise, they suddenly moved forward to stand in front of me like they were protecting me before saying, “We go in with him.”
Shaking my head with a bitter smile, I said, “It’ll be fine. Just keep guard out here, it’s not as if I’m going anywhere dangerous.”
They looked at me with worried looks like they wanted to say something else, but they also knew that this wasn’t the place for that.
However, Klein still said, “Let us keep guard as well.”
I looked over at the captain of the knights and he seemed like he was about to say something. Only before he could say what he wanted to say, Saintess Irene suddenly cut in by saying, “It’s fine, let them do what they want.”
The captain of the knights seemed like he didn’t want to agree to this, but seeing the way that Saintess Irene looked at him, he had no choice but to agree.
But it wasn’t as if he didn’t have his own conditions.
“They have to stay a certain distance from the room itself and they can’t get closer than us. As long as they follow those rules, we won’t say anything to them standing guard.”
It was already a concession, Klein was aware of that.
So he gave a nod of agreement before turning to me to say, “Good luck.”
I gave a nod back without saying anything as a determined look appeared in my face.
With Saintess Irene, the two of us walked into the room.
This room was a very simple room, but there was no need for there to be extra things in this room in the first place. After all, this was a room that was made to keep something safe.
The more things that were in here, the more dangerous it would be to keep that thing in here.
It was a room that only had a single thing in it.
There was this pedestal that was at the center of the room and there seemed to be this beam of light that came down from the roof that lit up this pedestal. On the pedestal itself was a glass case and in the center of the glass case was a pillow.
Atop this pillow was the thing that was the most important in this room.
Atop this pillow was a simple looking crown.
The most eye catching thing about this crown was the diamond that was in the center of it and the glow that this diamond released.
It wasn’t a strong glow, but there was something special about it that immediately caught one’s attention when they looked at it.
It was almost as if there was some kind of holy nature to the light that was released by the
crown.
It was as if one was basking in the warm glow of some kind of being from an upper realm.
However, I couldn’t help finding it strangely familiar.
That was because this glow was something that I had seen before.
It was the same glow that came from the Mark of God when it appeared on my hand.
