"They've all gone into town!"
In a house somewhere on the street, someone noticed that the alchemists from Lewis City had entered the capital.
"Go and report quickly, the people from Lewis City have come in." He said to a servant-like man behind him.
He left in a hurry and disappeared into the crowd, and his figure could no longer be seen!
……………………
Sean followed the team into the city.
I have been to many capital cities, and each capital city has its own characteristics, but sometimes the scale of a city can be seen from the construction of its city gate. In comparison, it should be more magnificent than Basaran but definitely not as good as Jagun. After all, the several-meter-high gilded gate makes people look very imposing from the outside.
There are constant reminders of being watched in your sight, and quite a few of them!
"It seems like a lot of people are paying attention to us," Sean said.
"You noticed that too?"
Ayla beside him turned around and asked.
"A little bit, we are more popular than we thought." There were indeed many eyes around looking at him, but not many were looking at him. They should be paying attention to him after paying attention to the entire team.
"This is probably Marshal Alec Owen's man. I've learned a bit about the political dynamics of Keselke. The struggle between the two marshals is the most obvious. As for Marshal Ali Williams, who belongs to the royal family, his power is weaker than the other two. Because he is of royal blood, he has always been respected on the surface. However, the biggest internal struggle in this country lies between the two marshals."
As the queen, Aila is familiar with the major powers in various regions, so according to her situation, she should be right.
"So it's a military government."
"Military government?" Ayla looked at Sean [confusedly!].
"Oh, I was just saying it...it shouldn't be that serious!"
At least this country has an emperor, and it is not a military dictatorship. However, as Sean got to know the country of Kselke over this period of time, he had a general understanding of it.
The two Grand Marshals, Hogheim and Alec, should be the people in this country whose status is second only to the emperor, or their influence is second only to the emperor. In some places, they are even higher than the emperor himself, otherwise they would not be the people who control the lifeblood of the country... Sean has experienced the struggle between Basaran and Jagun. The former is a struggle between princes and nobles, while in Jagun's words, the imperial power is supreme because of faith.
Therefore, those nobles seemed much weaker, and could not even stand on the same level as the royal family. Therefore, Jagun’s conflict was a conflict among the royal family. Isn’t Sean himself a major character in the struggle!
As for this alchemist nation, the military leaders hold power...
Kodal and his men belong to the army of Marshal Hogheim, so the person staring at them should be another marshal.
"Anyway, the two marshals in Keselke will always clash with each other in terms of political views and national policies. Fortunately, they can balance each other so that the country can develop stably." Aila explained.
“That’s not right.”
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
Sean suddenly thought of someone he might meet this time.
"Meredith, which faction does the alchemist leader you mentioned, who possesses such a high level, belong to? If he sides with either side, the balance will probably be upset."
"So he doesn't belong to the two great marshals. He's only loyal to Emperor Keselke. This is why Marshal Ali, despite not having the same power as the other two, is able to sit comfortably on the third throne. Not only does he have the reputation of the royal family, but he also has the support of others!"
"I see!"
From this brief introduction, Sean probably already had some understanding of this country.
"So what are you going to do next?" Sean asked.
"I will contact my acquaintances in this country and hope that they can introduce us to a meeting with the emperor. Leave the rest to me!"
In fact, Sean is not as good as his "mother" in communication between countries. After all, she is a pioneer. Although he can use his vision to cheat, the innate momentum and long-accumulated experience are beyond his reach at present.
"Okay then," Sean said.
Ayla suddenly changed the subject...
"By the way, aren't you going to look for that thing of yours? You can go look for it first, or I can go with you."
It is naturally a good thing to have someone to help, and Ayla and Mesula both have high insights into magic. However, what he is looking for is the clues left by Occam... or about the Book of the Dead. Forget it. Sean also doesn't want to bring Lucille into contact with these things. He carries the power of the ancient gods and has often been testing the edge of madness, so he doesn't want to involve Lucille.
"Forget it, I'll go there myself later."
"oh!"
Ayla looked at Sean meaningfully. It was obvious that she had some thoughts in her mind, but she didn't say them out loud.
Both of them are wizards who carry the power of ancient gods... You can probably guess what they want to do!
"Well, just be careful. It's about time we say goodbye to the alchemist team. It's uncomfortable to follow them and be stared at all the time." Aila also noticed the surrounding gazes. They were hiding in the crowd and could be found with a little attention.
Now that they have arrived in the imperial capital, Sean's mission of accompanying Rorschach and Rachel has been completed. After that, they will report to Marshal Hogheim's headquarters. If necessary, he can come forward to prove that Occam has escaped. If not... then he will leave with Ayla and the other two. In the next two days, he will find a way to enter the palace to meet the emperor. The fate of the two sides probably ends here.
The little girl Lucille said goodbye to the female alchemist reluctantly. They had been together for a month. Rachel was the first person other than herself who treated her well after she left the cargo ship.
It's hard to let them go, but both of them have their own things to do.
Lucille is still young and has many years of magical journey ahead of her... and Rachel also has her own job.
After agreeing to contact each other in Lewis City later, Sean, Rorschach and other alchemists separated!
Lucille was still a little reluctant to leave...
Looking at the team moving away behind him.
"Teacher, will we have a chance to meet Sister Rachel in the future?"
"I guess so."
"How long will that take?" Perhaps the little girl didn't have a very complicated understanding of time.
"Sometimes it's fast, sometimes it's slow... but as long as you still remember the days you were together, you will be happy even when you think about it in your dreams in the future." Sean smiled.
He reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of the little girl's eyes.
In fact, Lucille was still quite strong, but she couldn't help feeling sad at this time, and she didn't nod this time.
"Let's go."
Holding the little girl's hand, Sean signaled Ayla that she could leave.
"Your way of educating your disciples is very special!"
"You always have to go through some things." Sean looked at the other person with a smile.
