Chapter 280: Episode 6: Night Talk_2

　　"Another very important thing is that an angel has been sighted in Haisas. It is not one of the Pate Envoys summoned by magic, but an angel existing in the world of Anriel. This matter will greatly advance our temple’s cause and significantly boost the morale of the warriors on the frontline. Currently, this angel is traveling around with the mage Lynch, and we hope that the Main Priest will quickly advise on what course of action to take. I will closely monitor their whereabouts. —— Bishop Kuboert from the southwestern region of Pate."

After finishing the letter, Kuboert carefully checked it again, sealed it with red wax using his ring, and placed the paper into a plain envelope. He muttered incantations over the envelope, casting a protection magic on it to shield it from rain and insects and to deter prying eyes.

　　"Immediately deliver this letter to the Holy Pate, and place it in the hands of the High Priest." Kuboert stepped outside and instructed the Holy Temple Knight: "Swear on your honor that there will be no mistakes along the way!"

　　"The Light of Pate will guide me, and my life is devoted to this sacred mission!" The knight took the letter, carefully placing it into a sealed leather pouch, tucking it inside the innermost layer of his armor, and turned to leave.

　　That night, two knights departed swiftly, galloping northward towards the Pate Empire.

　　Meanwhile, Lynch, who had brought Zilvra and Soka back to the inn, was in his mother’s room.

　　"Mom, you should move away from here." Lynch looked at his mother, slumped in a chair, and quietly said, "It’s no longer safe in Haisas."

　　Ailinsha looked at her son standing before her, emotions welling up in her heart. It had been ten years since he had been taken away by his father, and the child had gradually grown up. Although he had returned a few times midway, they hadn’t seen each other since seven years ago. Lynch had always written to her, saying everything was fine, but a mother’s heart is only truly at ease when she sees her child safe with her own eyes.

　　A few days ago, she received dreadful news claiming that Lynch had died in Moon Harbor City. In that moment, it felt as if the entire sky had collapsed, crashing down on this lonely mother. Ailinsha lost the courage to continue living several times, only buoyed by the resolve to hold a decent funeral for her child. Fortunately, by divine grace, a miracle occurred: Lynch appeared alive on the day of the funeral, standing before her, filling her with immense joy.

　　However, on the other hand, her son becoming a mage was beyond her expectation. Originally, she thought Lynch was being taken by his father to become a scribe for some noble, learning to read and calculate, and someday become a steward, ensuring a life without worry. Even if he couldn’t become a member of a noble family, he could return to manage this inn. But unexpectedly, he became a mage, which she equated to being a disciple of the devil, spreading misfortune like a plague upon the world.

　　"Child, why did you choose to become a mage? Don’t you know how terrible a harm their kind has brought to the whole world in the past? They practically ally with devils, walking with sin, treating arrogance and conceit as virtues, plunging the entire world into disaster. Why would you still want to..." At this point, Ailinsha wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand.

　　"Mom, mages aren’t like that at all, actually they..."

　　"Don’t say that!" Ailinsha interrupted Lynch, speaking earnestly:"Child, I know what you want to say, you want to defend those mages, don’t you? But the more you do so, the more you resemble a mage rather than one of us from Haisas; the less you seem like my precious son. Aren’t those just the excuses that the mages taught you?"

　　Ailinsha motioned for Lynch to come closer, gently stroking his soft hair: "Child, I’m so glad you’re alive, you have no idea how happy I was when I could see you again. I prayed loudly to all the kind gods, even pleading with the dreaded god of death, hoping to see you once more. Finally, a miracle happened, and I was able to see you, hear you, and touch you again. Please, don’t leave anymore, okay? Don’t be a mage, don’t wander the world; come back to me. Though this small inn doesn’t earn much, your return will surely rejuvenate it. Child, this is your home!"
