NOVPUBChips scattered across the floor with a rustle.
Talia didn’t have time to care about the snacks.
She might have bolted upright too quickly.
She had run into General Yabo, whom she hadn’t seen for a century, knocking at her door.
"Yabo? And sister, brother-in-law, what are you all doing here...?"
Talia looked closely and realized that on the other side of the spatial arc, inside the mansion’s room, stood her sister Talia and Lanci, whom she had just parted with a few hours ago.
And, the Imperial royal magic artisan Abigail?
On the other side.
"She called you brother-in-law?"
Dimension Bishop Toriyado took a sharp breath in, nudged Lanci with his elbow, and asked.
"I told her not to call me that, but I couldn’t convince her."
Lanci was exasperated with Talia’s flawed logic, strong as a bandit’s.
Just as stubborn as her sister.
"After Barton introduced us to director Abigail at the Brielda Opera House, we ran into Dimension Bishop Toriyado, and then Tata discovered he was General Yabo."
Lanci briefed Talia on the situation.
Talia’s brain froze for a moment.
"Yabo, you’ve joined the Rebirth Church as a Cardinal Bishop now?"
She looked toward Toriyado and asked.
"Yes, it’s directly related to my professional expertise, and there happened to be a vacant bishop position. Joining the Rebirth Church and directly taking the Cardinal Bishop position involved a strict requirement of being an owner of the Original Slabs, and I happened to qualify. Given my unique attribute, once I found the Pope, the appointment went smoothly."
Toriyado took out a translucent stone slab and twirled it on his fingertip; it glowed with a silver-white arc similar to a Spatial Gate, resembling an incandescent meteor of the Divine Era, dazzling and pure. n𝚘𝚟pub.𝚌o𝚖
Sometimes when a Cardinal Bishop of the Rebirth Church fell in battle, without a new Cardinal emerging or a Cardinal receiving a second Proof of the Bishop, the right to appoint a new Cardinal would revert to the Pope.
Talia wasn’t surprised by the stone slab.
The attributes of [Space] and [Divination], situated at the end of the attribute periodic table, are beyond one’s grasp without aptitude. It’s probably only Abigail who could grasp spatial magical engineering.
The only way to gain spatial abilities is by obtaining a Space Magic Card, but since it’s so rare, it’s even harder to find than most Sacred Cards.
The Space Tablet generally isn’t highly sought after, as barely any creatures can learn it. Binding to it is a sheer waste of magic power, so it’s not surprising that Yabo could get his hands on one.
However, the Fire Tablet she now possessed was a universally coveted slab throughout history, contested by the powerful ones.
"Don’t look down on rare slabs, okay? The Sealing Stone Tablet is also from a lesser-known category."
Lanci curiously observed the new slab, speaking to Talia internally.
[Primordial Stone Plate-Space]
[Category: Equipment Card]
[Grade: Orange Epic]
[Attribute: Space]
[Class: 5]
[Passive Effect: The Primordial Stone Plate cannot be destroyed. Only creatures of this world may Soul Bind to it, with a maximum of one binding. It grants comprehensive enhancement to all spatial attribute magic, martial skills, equipment, and summons. If the Soul Binding holder dies, the binding to the slab will be released.]
[Notes: The world holds its breath, locking in its eternal beauty.]
He stared at the slab for a while.
Didn’t understand a thing.
Lanci shook his head in disappointment.
"It really is you, Yabo! What’s happening today? First sister, now Yabo, don’t tell me our whole Demon Family is about to be reunited, right?"
Upon sensing Yabo’s familiar magic power, Talia leaped with joy on the spot.
"That’s still a long way off."
Dimension Bishop Toriyado shrugged his shoulders slightly, a hint of a resigned smile on his lips.
Even if they followed what Lanci said, with Antanas and the others now protecting Talia’s daughter in Ichrite, it would still take a long time before these members of the Great Demon Clan in Brielda could reunite with old friends in the Hutton Kingdom.
"There’s hope already! My adorable daughter is still waiting for me!"
Talia stepped lively across the Spatial Gate and leaped, throwing herself into Talia’s arms and nuzzling against her sister’s face,
"Sister! I missed you so much!"
Talia eagerly came to the Spatial Barrier on the second floor of the Brielda mansion.
In this kind of independent space, it’s exceptionally safe and also her rare opportunity to step away from the Silver Palace for a while.
"Didn’t we just meet a few hours ago?"
Talia allowed Talia to embrace her, perplexed; occasionally, she patted Talia’s back like she tended to Hugh.
"A few hours is a long time, you know."
Talia said as if there was absolutely no problem.
"I don’t understand you..."
Talia realized that her sister might have truly become like a human, and it was she herself who seemed more of an alien, not fully integrated with humanity.
"Let’s go over there and talk."
Abigail pointed towards the seating area in the room.
She noted that her house guests were multiplying.
While indeed her place was well-suited to be a clandestine meeting base, it had rarely been this lively, typically just occupied by her as a personal library.
"Actually, besides Abigail’s opera house second floor and Bulida Mafia’s underground Silver Palace, I have an even more secluded Spatial Barrier. But the safest approach is to first come here to Abigail’s, then I can open the passage."
Dimension Bishop Toriyado said.
He had long considered the dangers within the South Crayney Empire’s heartland. If one day unexpected events arose, at the least he could ensure Abigail had an escape route.
"I didn’t expect you to be so cautious."
