[Silver Ash] - Become The Strongest In Another World
CHAPTER 318: Mentine (2)

...****************...


"Noah, come here."


In the process of searching for the catalyst in the Mentine flower garden, Tania suddenly calls Noelle into her place, and shows her something she just found.


"This …."


The place is on the edge of the park, just below a large tree with yellow leaves that whiten.


It was two new boards positioned like a tombstone. Or rather, an offering altar, with an obscure streak on the surface.


"It was put on purpose."


Judging from anywhere, Noelle could only think so. The position and shape of the stone was too unnatural, so there must be people forming it, and putting it there.


It is not yet known why this altar or tombstone can feel in such a remote place. However, this is worth suspecting.


Noelle surrounded the altar to see if there was anything suspicious but could not find anything.


Noelle could not use her magic or dominance on the altar because she was worried that it would interfere with the already designed system.


"Noah."


Just a moment ago, Tania left saying that she was going to look for clues, and now she had returned, carrying a bunch of Mentine flowers.


Tania looked at the puzzled expression on Noelle's face, and explained, "When you see an altar in a foreign place, what are you going to do? "


Without thinking, Noelle immediately replied, "There's a lot I can do, but I'll probably avoid it. After all, the altar could have been a trap."


Hearing that, Tania nodded. As soon as he arrived in front of the altar, he immediately crouched down.


"That's a good thought. You really have to be careful of that. But, there are times where you can't do anything but use that altar to pave roads and opportunities."


Smiling for a moment, Tania then placed the bunch of Mentine flowers on the altar, then put her palms together like she was praying.


"In dungeons, you will often find things like this. And at that time, there will be nothing you can do but use the altar."


Tania closed her eyes, and then started praying. She was so focused that Noelle felt she should not disturb Tania's concentration.


After a few seconds of prayer filled with concentration, the bundle of Mentine flowers on the altar finally disappeared, and was replaced by a light emanating from a small object. So small that Noelle could not see it.


Tania did not stop. He still closed his eyes with a united palm, looking very serious as he continued his prayer.


The light became stronger, and the small object at its center spewed out several threads of light that looked like tentacles, interweaving with each other to create a whole object.


It was a tiara, with a faded light covering it.


As if knowing that the ritual was over, Tania finally opened her eyes and smiled.


He took the tiara, then showed it to Noelle.


There was the full name of Queen Clament engraved on the inner side of the tiara.


"Now, there's only one catalyst left" Tania said with a smile as she handed the tiara to Noelle.


Noelle said nothing. Just dumbfoundedly accepting it and spurring his own mind to understand what had just happened.


"Wait a minute, are you sure the tier can be obtained in such a simple way? "


Tania smiled faintly and looked at Noelle. "Don't think too much. Just do what you think you can do. That's what Navi told me first."


...****************...


The second catalyst, the queen's tiara, has been found.


Although in a surprising way, the tiara had actually been discovered.


(Who would have thought it was that simple? )


Even though several hours had already passed, Noelle was still confused by what had actually happened.


But just thinking about it won't bring an answer. Tania might be able to find it easily since she was already very familiar with this kind of mechanism.


Noelle finally sighed and ruffled her hair. He had to stop thinking about it, or he would be driven mad by it.


Right now, he was sitting on the sofa of his portable home, which was placed in the suburban area of Mentine's garden.


It was quite late when they found the tiara, and Tania asked Noelle to spend the night at this place before finally leaving the next morning.


Directly returning to Fortenia was not a problem, but Noelle could not simply ignore Tania's limited stamina.


"Night here isn't too bad either."


That's a really good idea. When Noelle opened the window, what she saw was a stretch of Mentine flowers illuminated by the moon.


Noelle crossed her legs as she stared at the three giant celestial bodies that moved invisibly.


On the longer sofa, there was Tania who was fast asleep with a blanket covering her. Noelle who saw it again thought the same thing:


(He's really off guard.)


Either Tania was really careless, or she already trusted Noelle enough to be able to sleep fearlessly right before her. Perhaps the second is the answer.


If Tania was truly a careless person, then there was no way she would still be alive right now. Noelle had never been to a dungeon, but she was certain that Tania could not rest carelessly there.


Now, back to the other problem.


Question: is there any way Rudra can set foot into the outside world?


answer: not sure. Still needs to be investigated.


Noelle bit her own thumb nail as she thought of various ways that she thought could be the solution to this problem.


In the end, he spent a whole night just to think. And when the sun finally rose, Noelle opened her eyes with one idea in mind.


...****************...


Departing early, the two were immediately not in the former capital Fortenia when it was still morning.


Once at the gate, there was already Rudra already sitting there, not knowing how long it had been waiting for their arrival.


Rudra immediately stood up, and Noelle also went straight to him.


"Did you guys find anything?" ask Rudra.


Noelle replied to him with a faint smile, then took out something from the spatial warehouse.


It was the queen tiara that she and Tania found on the outskirts of Mentine's garden. Noelle gave it to Rudra for him to check.


"You may be surprised, but finding it isn't as difficult as we originally imagined."


Rudra was not listening to Noelle's explanation. Instead of doing that, she seemed busy noticing the tiara Noelle had just given her.


He flipped through it, looking at all the details that were on the tiara; starting from the ornaments, carvings, and names that were on the inside.


It says 'Clament sil Fortenia'. Not wrong anymore. There was no way Rudra could forget about it.


It was still the same shape as the last time he saw it. Clean, without the slightest scratch. Even if 600 years had passed, the tiara still looked good and was still worth wearing, as if nothing bad had ever happened.


"You ... found it …. You guys really found it …."


Even though his body was now just a lump of metal, Rudra could not hold his posture. He naturally fell to his knees, and watched the tiara closely.


Noelle saw it all, and didn't know what to do. She herself had no idea what Rudra was now feeling.


If Rudra still had his old body, would he be crying at this moment? That's just possible.


"Thank you for finding it."


Rudra's heavy voice thanked him with sincerity. Even so, there were still not many emotions that Noelle could feel from her.


It may be heavy. It cannot express clearly what he is feeling, and all this is due to the inorganic body as well as the barrier that prevents the overflow of his emotions.


Noelle knelt down, and held onto Rudra's shoulder with one hand.


"Thank you to yourself too. We were able to find this tiara thanks to the instructions you gave me."


Then, with a wry smile on her face, Noelle continued, "Yahh, the real Tania discovered that. I'm not helping here at all."


Noelle sounded quite pessimistic as she said it. But, that's the truth. Tania found the tiara her way, and not Noelle.


This may be an important part that proves that the figure in the prophecy of the Queen of Bengal is not a Noelle, but there is an additional one; that is a girl who accompanies him.


(So far have you seen the future, Queen of the Bengal? )


That tiara could not have been hidden in such a simple way had the Queen of Bengal not known who would find her. Precisely, since the Queen of the Bengal knew that Tania was the one who would find her, she hid it in a very simple way.


Upon further thought, all of this had a clear pattern.


Noelle felt quite a clear admiration for the Bengis Queen for having planned everything so thoroughly. However, at the same time he was also horrified and disgusted at having been aware of something.


Rudra thanked me nonstop as he carried the tiara to his chest. Just by looking at it, Noelle already knew that Rudra was appreciative of the tiara. Perhaps it was because it was the only thing he saw, which was proof that Queen Clament had actually survived in the outside world.


Noelle crossed out the 'to do list' in her head, and began to think of the remaining catalyst.


The queen's flag and tiara were already in her hands, and now only one was left. It was the queen's own blood.


...****************...


During the day, the three of them gathered at the place Rudra had made home.


"You've got your Majesty's flag and tiara, that means …."


"There's only one catalyst left."


"But that's the hardest."


Rudra, Tania, and Noelle alternately spoke. The three seemed confused by how they should find the final catalyst, which was the queen's blood.


A citywide search yields nothing, and an outside search gives them another catalyst that is not really their main goal.


At first, Noelle and Tania go to Mentine's garden to find the queen's blood. However, what they found there was not blood, but tiara.


This means, the queen's blood still exists somewhere in this world. And it could have been hidden in a strange and simple way, as happened to the queen tiara.


But even thinking about it all day, they could not find the answer.


In the end, Noelle asked for time to think alone on the day that started tonight.
