Trinitas Mundus - The Story of Saint Knight Ray

Episode 67: To the Ideal of Sochius

The night of March 17th.

Arriving in Zalesche, the capital of the ghost tribe, the Rays were attending a welcome feast at the Grand Council.

There are twenty-five ghosts in attendance. All are seated in their seats by or on behalf of the chiefs of the leading families.

And Luna sits in the upper seat, with Ray, Ashley and Stella lining up next to her. Ione of the people, the followers of Luna, had refrained behind the Lord. Unos Beastman slaves refuse to attend the feast and provide escorts for the Rays from various places.

The feast began with the opening address of Talvo Kronvar, the chief of the Council of Chiefs, but there was no perseverance because it was a fancy ghost feast.

Still, Luna, the son of the moon, was forced to be nervous.

That's because I had to make him admit to using this place to go west.

(I would definitely disagree if I said I was leaving Zalesche (here). Saint Hijiri, you said it would work, but I wonder if it's really okay...)

As the banquet progressed, it also had the effect of booze, and the cheerfulness of the chiefs increased.

There have always been banquets at the members of the Council of Chiefs. However, it was a constant imposition of tension for the weak clan because of the rush for power relations and convergence among the clans.

This banquet was completely different than before. It became a banquet that had never been broken before, because all the families united beyond interest to regain the Son of the Moon.

About an hour after the banquet began, Ray began to look out for Luna. I was sending out a signal to cut it out at this time.

Luna noticed that but couldn't quite make it through.

Still squeezes courage and slowly rises.

With Luna up, the sheikhs who were bickering pay attention to her. Tension grew in that gaze, but he regained his temper and cut out the story.

"I need to talk to you all"

The chiefs who were bickering at the words correct their dwellings.

"As I have already explained, the threat of the godless Vanitas has not left. The world is still in danger of doom."

Cheer disappears from the look of the chiefs and turns into a serious look.

"I don't know what kind of hand Vanitas is going to hit, not to me, and not to Ray here. But there's only one thing I know."

So I breathe heavily and keep talking.

"I have received a revelation from the Dark God (Noctis). If we do that, we can temporarily stop the invasion of Vanitas."

Everyone but the Rays breathes, but no one utters a word.

"That means I need to go to the Temple of Beginnings on the southern island of Gilsall."

At that moment, there is a stirring among the chiefs. Luna ignores it and keeps talking.

"I don't know what to do there. But I know that if I don't go, something terrible will happen. And I don't feel that much time has been given to me"

Luna cut the words as if waiting for questions from the Chiefs there.

Herno, the head of the Bindler family of the large tribe of the Middle-Ghost tribe, says no with his eyes around him before speaking.

"Are you sure your son has to go"

Luna nodded loudly,

"I assure you, son of the moon. He said it was what Noctis ordered me to go."

Clearly, the sighs leak among the Chiefs.

"Who are you going to take? We ghosts are there for your son, whether it be the end of the earth or not."

When Tarvo tells him so heavily, he nods loudly as if the chiefs agree.

Luna grabs her fist and answers it that this is the right place.

"I'm here with my ally Ray Arklight and his people, and Ione will accompany me"

You couldn't stay or stand, the middle ghost Pekka Ventura lays flat at Luna's feet.

"Then I can't protect your child! At the very least, bring the elite of the Ghosts!

Luna approaches Pekka slowly, hands on his shoulders, and turns it down with a merciful voice.

"Unfortunately I can't do that"

Pekka looked up and said, "Why! shouting," but no one can resist, even though it is inherently an unscrupulous act. Because we all thought the same thing.

"Jilsor is west of Toa. Through the Kingdom of Kaum, the Caerm Empire, you cannot reach it without using sea routes. If accompanied by ghost warriors, they will soon be captured by soldiers from Kaum, Caerm. We are also talking about this in Luberna. Lord Varma, the Moon Demon Spellman, offered to accompany us, but he refuses for the same reason."

Tarvo and the Little Ghost tribe Solm Sommelyoki felt rational in Luna's explanation, convinced by reason, but angry that they could not help.

The other chiefs were the same.

But there was someone who spoke of unexpected thoughts. That was erno.

"We are of no use. I can't admit that!... If we attack west with all our strength, we can bring your son safely to Jill Saul. Hundreds of thousands of ghosts, demons join forces, countries in the west, etc..."

Luna blocked Erno's remarks with a strong tone.

"It won't!

Elno as well as the other Chiefs breathe in its power.

Luna changed her fortified expression into something gentle and began to talk to her to speak again.

"I should have told you with a lowni. If all races do not join forces, the Vanitas threat must leave. If Sochius invades the West here, it's what Vanitas thinks it is. So we need to go to Zirsole to obey the demands of the gods and not stand out."

Erno regrets fisting the floor. Luna sits beside him and grabs that arm gently.

"Thank you for thinking so much for me. I know your loyalty very well. But this is the mission I was given. Pray that I can do my duty safely."

Erno stares at Luna and weeps in tears.

"Ugh... ok. I pray for your son... Ugh..."

The Chiefs were in tears, just like Erno.

Tarvo wiped his tears and spoke his thoughts on behalf of the chiefs.

"Our thoughts are the same as Lord Erno's. But I don't mean to interfere with your son's mission. But it's too impudent to be able to do anything. Order us to do what we can."

Luna nods at it and shows the thoughts she had prepared.

"Reconciliation with all races is the only means of dealing with Vanitas. Even Luberna commanded the Moon Demons, the Wing Demons, but do not abuse the people, the Beasts. It could be difficult right away. But you can do it one by one. We want you to move towards the ideals of Sochius. I want you to do it first."

There is a light of hope in the eyes of the chiefs in the words "what I want you to do”. But bewildered by the following words:

"Do not use human or beastly women to summon your family members, orcs or goblins. I haven't seen the truth, but I heard you're forcing me to have a demon child. This is an act contrary to Sochius' ideals. I cannot refuse to admit."

Denied the mass production of his family, the main power of the ghost tribe, the Chiefs of the Middle-Ghost and Little Ghost tribes were looking at each other.

"I'm not denying everything to my family. I'm saying we forbid the practice of using people like tools. I'm not going to forbid you to serve wild demons."

Luna did not know, but it was very difficult to use wild oaks and goblins, and it could be said that it was not realistically possible to align the numbers of thousands.

"I said I forbid this to reconcile with all races. But there's another reason. That's because I suspect the summoning method was brought about by Vanitas."

This wasn't what Luna thought, it was the reasoning Ray thought. He had learned of the fact that the ghost invasion had suddenly become intense and had asked the Talvos when it had started.

In the legend of the Ghost Nation, it was supposedly knitted by a Genius Spellman of the Ghost Nation about 2,000 years ago in Tria history. And the legend tells us that he invented it with the revelation of the Dark God (Noctis).

Ray did not think that Noctis, also a God of Peace, would convey such an inhumane way, and wondered if Vanitas had deceived the name of Noctis as he had brainwashed the Moon Demons.

"The Moon Demons grabbed me for brainwashing by Vanitas, who deceived the name of Noctis. It seems like the same thing happened a thousand years ago."

The chiefs lost their word.

Though they wouldn't say it to their mouths either, the ghosts thought the demons were inferior to even the humans, not to mention the demons in terms of magical research. And many questioned the fact that even the relatively magical talent of the ghost tribe, the little ghost tribe, had knitted a unique way of using the Demonic Crystal Stone.

Subtle air dominates the Great Hall.

When the source of our power was the ploy of the Evil God, and the more power we had, the closer the world came to doom, we were told by the beloved Son of the Moon.

Moreover, the explanation is fully convincing and there is no reason to disagree, but it was said that our ancestors had been manipulated by evil gods, and there was something honestly difficult to admit.

I proclaim aloud that Solm, who felt such air, is not worthy of his body.

"Our Sommelyoki family obeys your son's words and forbids the summons of family members who use men!

The flow changed with the proclamation by the little ghost tribe, which summons a large number of demons among the ghost tribes.

"My Bindler family also obeys your son's word!

From what the Bindler family, the main family of the Middle-Ghost clan, has declared, the other clans will also speak up one after the other.

Tarvo was relieved by the way it looked.

They, the Great Ghost Clan, had done little to summon demons using men, and when he first raised his voice, he could have been rebelled against by other clans, especially the Medium Ghost Clan.

(Solm is well aware. But can we really do it with that? Our Big Ghost tribe is fine, but the Medium Ghost tribe, especially the Bindler family, will be depressed. Hopefully this will be a spark between the tribes......)

Though the Great Ghost uses Auga, a family member, there is not much problem with forbidding the subpoena of a family member because the fighting power of the Great Ghost Warrior greatly outweighs that of the Auga. It was also more likely to capture wild orgasms because the summons of the orgasm itself, the strain on women called “nursery beds”, could not be summoned in large quantities.

The same is true of the Ghost tribe, which originally had a small fighting power of goblins and it is not so hard for the Ghost tribe to follow wild goblins.

On the other hand, the Middle-Ghost tribe is very much the same as the Orcs in a single combat force, and only a very small number of operators (Tamers) have a family of wild Orcs. Especially when the Bindler family, where one Tamer can serve a large number of dependants, is banned from mass production of oak, it will reduce relative power among the tribes.

Elno, the chief, was of a simple character and now stood up in front of Luna and declared forbidden, but after Luna left, it is also conceivable to realize this fact and withdraw it.

(Budosco will be fine because Lord Yonni will keep it under control, but we have to keep an eye on the bindler. It is a disgrace to the whole ghost tribe to have someone who speaks differently of your son...)

All the families declared that they would desist from summoning their families.

"We ghosts obey your son's words, and we will not summon any family members who use people, beasts, or others in the future. Whoever breaks this sees it as a treachery to the Dark God (Noctis) and touches it when punished with severe punishment. May I now, my son?"

Luna nodded loudly at Tarvo's words.

"I thought you guys would understand. Thank you."

That's what I say and I bow my head big.

Luna decided to convey her thoughts even more as the ghost sheikhs panicked, "Please lift your head".

"I have another favor to ask you"

The chiefs correct their residence and see Luna.

"We want representatives of all races as well as ghosts to participate and move Sochius. To do this, I think we need to create a place where we can assemble and debate representatives of demons, people and beasts…"

She believed that everyone living in Sochius should participate in politics and explained democratic politics.

But the ghosts can't keep up with her words. Originally, the ghost tribe is strong in the idea that power is everything, and it is natural for the strong to follow the weak. In fact, it was a rational idea in a tough land, and there were many disadvantages in trying to realize Luna's ideals.

Look at the confused ghost tribe, Ray is afraid.

(I know what Luna (Tsukiya) is trying to say, but I guess it's just confusing to say that here...)

Seeing the confused ghost tribe and Luna not realizing it, Ray pinched his mouth from the side.

"I don't think it's going to be easy right away. I guess I should do that when you get back."

In those words, Luna realized for the first time that the ghost tribe was bewildered.

"Right. Okay," he replied to Ray.

"What I just said is about my ideal country. It may be difficult soon, but I want to make this country called Sochius a better country with you."

Though the ghosts didn't understand, they are relieved that Luna said she wants to return to herself and move forward together towards her ideals.

They were at the bottom of their minds wondering if she would ever come back from the west. But the fact that she spoke clearly about her vision for the future made her think she would definitely come back.

The banquet was then even more exciting.

Ray and Ashley originally had the liquor in their hands, too, Luna. Around her, drunk young sheikhs perform dances and sing songs.

(Long time no see, a banquet like this... he used to say that. It's hard to substitute for anything to have fun drinking with your careless buddies... now I feel like I know a little bit. That guy's feelings......)

He laughed out loud many times drinking a little sweet, wild fruit liquor.
