Chapter 39: Patay (2)


[Bonus chapter for 200 powerstones. Next bonus chapter at 300.]


Leonel collapsed on a bed stuffed with hay. The last month had really been far too tiring. And, to make it worse, for fear of exposing himself to Joan as a person who knew much more than he should, he hadn't practiced [Dimensional Cleanse] at all either. This was on top of the fact that he hadn't eaten his fill even once in these past few days.


That said…


[Leonel Morales]


[Strength: 0.95; Speed: 0.91 (+0.1); Agility: 0.99 (+0.1 - partially nullified); Coordination: 1.05; Stamina: 0.99-1.10 (+0.05 - nullified); Reactions: 1.05; Spirit: 0.30; Force: 0.20]


Due to the fact Leonel was running obscene distances almost everyday, the residual medicinal properties of his dad's smoothies began to eek out more and more, causing his strength, speed, agility and stamina to take leaps forward.


But, this wasn't Leonel's greatest discovery. Since running from battlefield to battlefield was so monotonous, and there wasn't exactly great entertainment when they did rest, Leonel spent much of his time calculating the perfect positions for his next eight Force Nodes.


He came to realize over time that the more he used his ability, the stronger it seemed to become. In fact, the b.u.mp in his coordination and reactions was precisely due to this indirect increase. On top of this, due to this improvement, he found it hard to pin down his stamina with any sort of accuracy anymore, so he left it as a range.


Because of his calculative mind, Leonel had the ability to make the movements of his body incredibly efficient. It was for this reason his ability impacted his coordination, and likewise his reactions. However, for the same reasons, it could also improve his stamina, but it varied depending on how much of his calculative abilities he focused on making his movements waste less energy.


By now, Leonel was completely certain of the positions of his next seven Force Nodes. He was only having a bit of trouble pinpointing where the last should be.


"Are you two free?"


The sudden words from a familiar voice at the entrance of his and Aina's tent caused Leonel to quickly sit up, sending a glance toward Aina who was lying with her back facing to him. She happened to looked toward him at the same time.


The two hadn't exchanged many words since that day in the carriage. Leonel didn't exactly know how to feel about that. But, what he did know was that he could trust her.


"Yes, Michael? Did the scouts find something?"


Michael lifted the curtain of their tent, poking his head in with a smile.


"Nothing like that. Sister just wants to see you two. I'm not sure why, so don't bury the messenger in questions."


"Oh!" Leonel perked up, playing the role of excited fanboy he always had. "Right away, then!"


Michael grinned. He had always liked Leonel's att.i.tude. Much of the army found his naiveté to be refres.h.i.+ng. Leonel had always been quite used to being well liked through multiple social circles, so making new friends like this wasn't very difficult.


He and Aina rose from their makes.h.i.+ft beds, following quickly after Michael.


The army was housed in encampments on the outside of Reims, but the King who had traveled from Orleans here, and important officials were on the inside of the city. Leonel was surprised to find that Michael actually led the two of them into Reims itself.


'I guess it makes sense that she would stay inside the city. Charles couldn't allow the primary reason he regained this territory to muddle around with normal soldiers.'


Leonel didn't think much of it and was eventually brought to a mansion. The specifics about it, he was uncertain of. Was she just lounging here? Was it rewarded to her? He didn't know. He could recall the main details of the timeline, but such small matters were long since forgotten by him.


Michael left without a word, leaving Leonel and Aina to walk into an office area by themselves to find Joan turning around to greet them with a smile on her face.


"Leonel, Aina, it's good to have you here. Have you been treated well?"


Aina had learned to read and react to Leonel given certain clues. It was fine if she was a mute, but not understanding the language would be too suspicious. So, when Leonel nodded, her quick reaction time set in and she too nodded.


"That's good, that's good…"


Joan hesitated for a moment, causing Leonel's heartbeat to immediately slow. Well, it wasn't that his heart really did do this, but rather that he had subconsciously sharpened his reactions, causing even what was fast to be perceived far easier to him.


"I have indeed called you two here for a very important reason." She took a deep breath and sighed. "I've been lying to the two of you for a very long time, for that… I apologize. I know more about our G.o.d given abilities than I've told you.


"If you're willing to forgive me, I can take the two of you to meet the Bishop —"


"The Archbishop?" Leonel's eyes lit up like a child, as though already forgiving Joan. "We get to meet him?"


Joan was stunned for a moment before smiling sweetly. "Yes, the Archbishop."


Leonel's supposed ignorance played through well. However, his mind was spinning.


The importance of religious figures in this era couldn't be understated. The difference between a Bishop and an Archbishop was ma.s.sive. Joan would never make such a mistake. That meant she meant to call out the t.i.tle Bishop. But who was this Bishop that she was willing to allow Leonel to mistake for the Archbishop?


Was it a deliberate act of blasphemy? Or was she trying to spare his feelings by not calling out his ignorance?


"The Archbishop is our true G.o.dsent messenger. He is the one who leads my path and told me of my destiny. While he is in Reims prepared to crown our liege, I can take the two of you to meet with him.


"I thought I was alone in this world until I met the two of you. If you join our cause, then the bright future we hope for will be in a hand's grasp. Our names will resound through history."


'She seems sincere, she really believes that she was the only one… So the shadows really must be her ability. That makes sense, after all, they did nothing but help the entire way…'


Leonel excitedly nodded. "Of course, of course!"


"Good, then follow me. I will take you there."


Joan smiled and turned toward a bookshelf. As though straight out of a fantasy novel, she pulled on one of the spines and caused a doorway to open.


"These paths were tunneled under the city so that important religious figures and royals can escape in case of a siege. It'll be easier to take them than winding through the city for hours." Joan casually explained.


"Wow! I didn't know something like this was possible. The Archbishop really must be G.o.d's messenger."


Joan smiled and led the way, completely missing Leonel's disappointed gaze as the bookshelf clicked closed behind them.


He had said it himself before. Sometimes over explaining revealed much more about the truth you wanted to hide. However, somewhat incredulously, he was certain that Joan meant them no harm.


If she really believed she wasn't harming them, then who was this Bishop? Where was she leading them? And which ent.i.ty could create such a large network of underground tunnels in this era?
