Chapter 1122: Crown (4)
While I didn't actually have a problem with being used like this since it didn't seem like there would be any harm, there was a problem that I did have with this matter.
Even if I had the Mark of God, was there a guarantee that I would be able to power this Crown of Wisdom?
Even if I had the Mark of God, would the same thing happen with the Crown of Wisdom as those other monuments?
I didn't think that it would be that easy.
After all, this was a super relic that was left behind by the gods, so it wasn't something that could be powered that easily. The amount of power that this Crown of Wisdom could release required a large amount of divine energy, would the Mark of God have that much?
That was why I couldn't help feeling a bit afraid...
Saintess Irene could see the look that was in my eyes and as if she could guess what I was thinking, she said, "Holy son, you don't have to worry. The Mark of God is bestowed upon the one chosen by the gods, so it allows you to tap into the divine power of the gods themselves. As long as you allow it, it will flow through you as a conduit and you'll be able to use it as you wish. There won't be a problem filling up the Crown of Wisdom as long as you use the Mark of God."
The way that she said this was as if she was filled with conviction towards what she said.
It was as if she fully believed the words that came out of her mouth.
It was just that I didn't feel the same conviction from her.
I didn't believe that the Mark of God was something that could solve all problems. Seeing that I still didn't move or say anything after she said all of this, Saintess Irene suddenly picked up the Crown of Wisdom and brought it towards me.
It was as if she wanted to show me that the Mark of God would solve all problems.
Only I didn't have the courage to give this a try, so I pulled my hand away and stepped back from Saintess Irene.
To my surprise, she stepped forward faster than I could move away from her.
Her hand with the Crown of Wisdom came up and the Crown of Wisdom touched the hand that the Mark of God had appeared on previously.
The moment that the Crown of Wisdom made contact with my hand, both the crown and the Mark of God reacted. Both of them suddenly lit up and released a bright light that was hard to look at directly.
It was even brighter than the light that had been released earlier.
At the same time, it didn't seem like it was getting any weaker. With the way that it shined, it was almost as if the light was getting stronger and stronger.
It seemed like it was about to fill the whole room with the way that it happened.
But eventually, the light disappeared.
Or rather, the light coming from the Mark of God disappeared. The light that was around the Crown of Wisdom was still there and it seemed like it was stronger than before.
It seemed like whatever had happened had strengthened the Crown of Wisdom.
Of course, Saintess Irene didn't just leave things as they were as she didn't know if this was just because I was in contact with it or not.
So she pulled the Crown of Wisdom away from me and held it up in her hand.
Even though the Crown of Wisdom was separated from me, the light that was around it didn't seem to fade. The light that was around the crown even seemed like it was getting stronger now that it was only Saintess Irene holding it.
When she saw this, her eyes lit up with excitement.
"This is it, this is how the Crown of Wisdom should be!" She said in a soft, but excited voice. After admiring the Crown of Wisdom that she was holding up for a bit, she turned back to me and said, "Holy son, you did it! You restored the Crown of Wisdom!"
With a smile, she said, "I told you that it would work. All that is required is the Mark of God!"
I didn't seem to notice this as I was lost in thought.
My eyes were on the Mark of God the entire time.
That was because during the time that the Mark of God and the Crown of Wisdom had been releasing that bright light, I had...
Seeing that I was just standing there in a daze, Saintess Irene knitted her brows.
She put the Crown of Wisdom back down before coming over to tap me on the shoulder and asking, "Holy son, is something wrong?"
It was when she tapped on my shoulder like this that I was pulled out of my thoughts.
I looked at the Crown of Wisdom, but I wasn't surprised to see that it was glowing.
Instead, I turned to Saintess Irene and asked, "Is that all that needs to be done?"
Saintess Irene was surprised by this question since she didn't expect to hear it, but she slowly gave a nod. It seemed like there was something that she wanted to say, but she didn't say it in the end.
"Do you know where the chapel in the main church is?"
Saintess Irene was once again taken aback when she heard this since she didn't expect this question.
But once again, she slowly gave a nod in response.
Only she didn't remain silent this time as she asked, "Holy son, is there something that you need from the chapel?"
I said with a nod, "I want to visit it before leaving."
Saintess Irene looked at me with a strange confused look, but I didn't say anything else as I calmly looked at her.
Eventually, she gave a nod to show that she would show me there.
