“In the end, I realize that I can’t simply judge your rapid changes, Eugene.”

Marianne had already been continuously informed of Eugene Schneider’s changes through letters.

Suddenly, he grew taller and his body bulked up. Moreover, he even achieved awakening.

“Of course, I thought the grace of the main god had influenced you. But it seems that’s not all.”

Pedon is clearly a fantasy otherworld.

The main god of the Church of the Radiant Goddess is real, and all sorts of miracles manifest.

Therefore, Marianne and Charlotte did not think that Eugene’s rapid growth was simply due to a moment of biological good fortune.

In the first place, pilgrimage to the holy sites where the grace of the main god dwells is a ritual performed with practical miracles in mind.

“The rapid growth of awakening abilities was also unusual, but more than anything, detecting and sealing the dimensional rift… This mother, who has done a lot of research on it, has come to think differently.”

And a real miracle happened.

The sickly adopted son, Eugene Schneider, became a robust man of 190cm and 106kg.

Moreover, he achieved awakening, and the growth rate of his awakening ability was beyond imagination.

As a result, Marianne felt a great sense of pride in recommending the path of the pilgrim to him.

However, Eugene Schneider felt the energy of the dimensional rift,

Furthermore, he split and sealed the dimensional rift with a greatsword.

Marianne witnessed it directly.

“So, I hope you’ll be honest with this mother, son. As you’ve seen yesterday and today, this mother is someone who has researched and accepted many cultures.”

The “if” that Marianne touched was Atlantis.

She also knows that there are some Atlantean holy sites in the process of the pilgrim’s path.

The letter also stated that Eugene had stopped there.

However, in a place where the Church of the Radiant Goddess is the state religion, there are things that cannot be easily discussed even between mother and son.

Marianne deliberately showed Eugene and Marianne her research activities without exaggeration yesterday and today.

It was a decision made for today’s conversation.

‘My mother’s current appearance… I can’t hide this, can I?’

Marianne’s tone towards Eugene felt like she was leading him on, but her eyes were more active. Rather than asking questions out of curiosity, it was closer to confirmation.

‘Hmm… At this point, I think I should at least tell my mother to some extent. As my mother said, she has come to think more broadly by entering the path of the secular world.’

Eugene didn’t tell Jeanne, let alone Elisabeth and Charlotte, whom he had so admired, the details of his awakening process.

But Marianne, his adoptive mother,

He felt that he couldn’t do that to her.

As she said, Marianne has been doing various research for a long time, so he thought she would fully understand his own truly bizarre experiences.

“Yes, Mother. While on the pilgrim’s path, I set foot in an Atlantean holy site. And after that, these unusual changes occurred. Coincidentally, my body started to grow from that point, and at some point, I even achieved awakening.”

Therefore, Eugene Schneider revealed that he had a great mystical experience by connecting with the Atlantean holy site.

However, he didn’t connect it to realizing his past life.

‘Past life memories may have been a catalyst. In any case, when I think about it now, I think it might be related to my father and mother’s genes.’

Eugene also knows that the key point of Marianne’s questions is about his power to seal the dimensional rift.

In that state, Eugene learned that the Atlantean artifact, the Heart of the Sun, has the function of suppressing dimensional rifts, and Ulysses Schneider’s Atlantean hypothesis gradually gained weight in Eugene’s mind.

“I see…”

Nod, nod, nod,

Marianne, who heard Eugene’s words, nodded slowly.

“Does Mother also know about the possibility of my deceased father being Atlantean?”

Eventually, Eugene brought up the story that had only been rumored.

“I’ve heard about it. But as I researched Atlantis and came across the records, I gradually leaned towards thinking that the rumors were just rumors.”

Marianne answered Eugene Schneider’s cautious question in a fairly frank tone.

‘Hmm… Your opinion is completely different from Priscilla’s? Priscilla seems to think there’s a good chance.’

It was an unexpected answer for Eugene.

He had already heard a tempting word from Priscilla, who could be said to be the most knowledgeable person about Atlantis.

‘Well, the nature of the data Priscilla encountered on the Symphony Elf Island and the interpretation of the data my mother encountered on the continent may be different enough…’

If communication between the continent and Atlantis has almost disappeared since ancient times,

Elf Island Symphony and Atlantis had relatively close contact until Atlantis sank.

In other words, there would be a considerable gap between the civilization of Atlantis that Priscilla encountered and the civilization that Marianne encountered,

Eugene judged that it would not be unreasonable for the two people’s thoughts to be fundamentally different.

“However, through various investigations, I have come across cases of people having small and large mystical experiences at ancient Atlantean holy sites. However, these are stories that have not been mentioned to the public because there is a possibility of being questioned if they are reported to the Holy See. So, I thought about the possibility of that happening to you, Eugene.”

The reason why Marianne mentioned the possibility that Eugene’s current abilities are related to Atlantis, even though she is skeptical about the possibility of Ulysses Schneider being Atlantean,

Because Marianne has been researching and collecting testimonies for a long time, she has unknowingly realized that real miracles are happening at Atlantean holy sites.

For a long time, some people go to Atlantean holy sites out of simple curiosity, for research purposes, or by chance.

Among them, there were those who experienced the mystical, and fearing that problems would arise if it reached the ears of the Holy See, which secretly rejects Atlantis as paganism, they were secretive and received verification from hermits.

Marianne has been researching to prepare for dimensional rifts and has learned about these cases from hermits.

‘Wow, Mother has really been doing a lot of in-depth research! The explanations are just flowing out!’

Eugene was amazed.

To be honest, he now thought that he had grown too much and knew too much about this and that, so he should take the lead in the situation.

However, when he actually came to Bahard, Marianne’s actions were unstoppable.

It was as if she knew that this situation would happen and had prepared in advance.

Even in this conversation, her force is deeply felt.

Indeed, it can be said that she is the genius executive nun who received all the total favor of the Holy See before Charlotte.

‘Now that it’s come to this, I want to ask about that too?’

As he experienced how deep Marianne’s knowledge and insight were, a question suddenly arose in Eugene Schneider’s mind.

‘The sun god Abinus, and the darkness around me that Drake told me about… Could it be that Mother also knows something about this?’

Eugene Schneider shared most of the stories he heard like prophecies through Drake with the elf Priscilla and his younger sister Elisabeth.

There was something he had never told anyone so far,

It was the story about the darkness that would awaken the eye of the demon god and stand in opposition to Eugene Schneider himself.

Drake said that the existence was with him in a very close place to Eugene.

So, Eugene Schneider had no choice but to be careful with his words.

But if it’s his adoptive mother Marianne, could he think differently?

“Eugene! And Mother! Magical letters have arrived from Jeanne and Elisabeth!”

At that time, Charlotte came into Marianne’s office, where Eugene and Marianne were talking, with an excited voice.

News of her younger sisters had arrived.

After the incident, Charlotte was naturally very worried about her younger sisters.

Eugene had reunited with her, but the two younger sisters were different.

General means of communication became difficult because security between regions was tightened rapidly.

Charlotte had attempted an emergency magical letter with Elisabeth.

“Really?”

“That’s a relief, Charlotte! Are the children okay?”

Eugene and Marianne, who had been carefully having a serious conversation, immediately turned their attention to the new news that Charlotte had brought.

“There was no guarantee that Elisabeth would be there, so I thought it would take longer, but it seems she checked a week ago. So, she contacted Jeanne and sent it.”

Charlotte handed the letter to Eugene and Marianne and told them about the communication process.

Magical letters are sent through magical crystals and require a considerable level of general magical energy and divine magical energy.

Therefore, wizards or high-ranking nuns use them to overcome emergency situations.

“Elisabeth says she’s been assigned an important mission and there’s nothing to worry about, Mother.”

“I see. Then Jeanne, what situation did Elisabeth tell you about Jeanne, Eugene?”

“It’s as expected. She says she was able to prepare in advance thanks to the colleague who separated from me in the middle.

Through the magical letter, although it was a situation from a few days ago, Eugene Schneider’s side was able to grasp the situation of the other family members.

Relatively speaking, contacting Pangea from Cleopatra was worth trying, and fortunately it was successful, so Elisabeth conveyed Jeanne’s situation to Eugene.

‘Oh! It seems Jeanne and Vivian have contacted each other! That’s a relief!’

Eugene Schneider, who was summarizing the contents of the letter and telling it to Marianne, suddenly opened his eyes slightly.

The moment he confirmed that a dimensional rift had opened in the middle zone, Eugene’s mind began to spin rapidly.

So, he immediately parted ways with Priscilla and sent her to Pangea, and at the same time, he ordered her to contact Vivian in Alexandria when she arrived in Pangea and refresh the situation.

‘What is this about? There are signs of a conflict between the Empire and Tyrannosaurus?’

The news that Vivian had conveyed,

Vivian informed Eugene Schneider’s side of the atmosphere of the Empire, which they had not been able to catch.

“I’m not afraid…! I’m not afraid! Sniff…! I’m not afraid!”

Elisabeth, who gave her beloved older brother a lot of honey-like information,

Unlike her, she was casting a self-hypnosis spell with a rather nervous face.

ㅡWhiooooooooo! Whiwooooooooo! Whiooooooooo!

“Sinister magic is rampant as much as the swirling blizzard is in the northern demon’s territory!”

She finally crossed the Empire’s millennium wall and set foot in the Iskandar Mountains, where the demons have settled.
