In mid-July, news of the Magician from a heretical cult making an appearance began to spread through the city.
However, by the end of the month, under the opinion control of Springs, the city had returned to its normal rhythm, as the influence of the news subsided like a lowering flag.
Faced with the contrasting advice of two individuals, Ronald thought it over and still decided to approach the church. He made a veiled request, indicating that he hoped to acquire Saint Catherine's Sword.
The church's attitude...
It was not unexpected.
In fact, they were as generous as ever towards Ronald.
For a relic of such great significance linked to a Saint, it took less than three days after Ronald's request for the sword, wrapped in black cloth, to be delivered into his hands without any mention of a return date.
Isn't this essentially saying, "Take it and use it as you please"?
