Type-Moon Simulation: Starting with Conquering a Greek Goddess!-Chapter 361: Offering Faith to the Great King

The Barthomeloi are a family that existed since the establishment of the Clock Tower.

They, along with the Trambelio and the Valualeta, made great contributions to the Clock Tower at the beginning of its founding, so they can be called the three great noble families of the Clock Tower.

The history of the Barthomeloi is already fifteen hundred years old.

Initially, in the magnificent Middle Ages, the Barthomeloi were far from being considered outstanding.

In order to defend the mystery and reach the possibility of the Root.

Magi offered their souls to the king.

The Barthomeloi have never rejoiced at how correct their decision was. Their ancestors were convinced when they worshiped the glory of that First King that the family should offer faith to this king for generations.

They were deeply shocked by the great achievements of Britain's Age of Gods.

They were deeply fascinated by the figure of that king leading the final Age of Gods, engraving his posture in their eyes, never erasing it.

—There is no greater king than the First King.

He established an eternally flourishing foundation for the Age of Gods in Britain, creating a pure land where mystery would no longer wither.

He achieved something that was almost impossible to achieve.

As if responding to the Barthomeloi's unwavering loyalty, the First King bestowed his own blood upon them.

The Barthomeloi family has therefore settled and become stronger with the passage of time.

The departure of the First King did not stop them from moving forward.

They began to believe in perfectionism.

Due to the noble bloodline bestowed by the First King, the Barthomeloi had the idea that "rather than a person's personality, their characteristics are more worthy of evaluation."

Gradually transformed into thorough aristocrats.

Because they firmly believe that only their clan possesses a noble bloodline, they completely ignore the lives and deaths of other nobles.

Loyalty to Britain and the king.

And the magi's pursuit of mystery and the Root.

These are the things they value most.

Although they maintain loyalty to every King of Britain, the king they love most is the First King.

The First King is the embodiment of the Age of Gods Britain.

He is synonymous with mystery itself.

Supreme, dazzling, and eternal glory—these are the impressions that the Barthomeloi once had of the First King.

Pursuing and wanting to reach the realm of the First King.

People will continue to move forward in order to realize their wishes.

It could be said that Barthomeloi, gazing at the brilliance of the first King, was a happy follower at that time.

(Although knowing it was difficult to reach.)

But still, he always wanted to get closer to the great King.

Lorelei wanting to become the King of Britain is pretty much the same. Children admire their fathers, and naturally, they will also have the idea of wanting to become their fathers.

After that, the first King faded from the era.

Barthomeloi adhered to the last words of the first King before his abdication, continuing that loyalty to Britain.

The successive heads of the Barthomeloi family still firmly believe that:

The first King will return to Britain sooner or later.

"King, after hearing this, you should have a more detailed understanding of the history of my Barthomeloi family, right? Although I don't expect you to be as great and dazzling as the first King of the past, even if you can achieve one-thousandth of that, it would be more than enough."

Lorelei scrutinized Moran with a judging gaze.

Perhaps, seeing the aura of a king emanating from Moran, her attitude was a little softer than last night.

"...I see, the Barthomelois hold loyalty to every King of Britain. But if a choice has to be made in the end, the Barthomelois will only choose that first King," Moran nodded.

"If I, Lorelei Barthomeloi, really come to that time, it will naturally be like this. Although it may be a bit disrespectful in front of you, this concerns the faith of my family, and I hope you can understand."

Lorelei does not believe that the kings of past generations can compare to the first King.

This is a fundamental and decisive difference.

In her words, she does not hide her admiration for the first King in the slightest.

This is not a rare thing in Britain.

Because, the magecraft of the Age of Gods, which should have disappeared in modern times, still maintains its inheritance in Britain today.

Using the ley line as the great source system, the use of Age of Gods magecraft is more effective when magi believe in the King of Britain.

Similar to the priests and priestesses who worshiped the gods in ancient times.

They offered faith to the gods, and in return, the gods granted believers the authority to connect to their own powers.

Allowing believers to use power through this.

Ordinary magi are merely limited to deceiving the world, while Age of Gods magi rewrite the world with rightful authority.

The power of the gods is precisely like this.

The King of Britain in Britain is Britain itself; in other words, they can be regarded as the gods of Britain.

Even if the magus who offers faith is not favored by the King.

However, in Britain, they will at least increase their affinity for aether because of this faith.

This alone gives magi enough reason to offer faith.

This has already been proven in a dissertation at the Clock Tower.

The difference between magi who believe in the King of Britain and those who do not is extremely obvious on the island of Britain.

The Anglican Church enshrines the successive Kings of Britain in the chapel.

They have never placed restrictions on faith.

This leads to the fact that although everyone believes in the King of Britain, there is a big difference in which era's king they believe in.

However, the most widely recognized belief in Britain today is:

Always the great first King.

Secondly, the current King of Britain.

"Oh dear, really..."

Moran shook his head, unable to help but smile.

Who would have known that Lorelei actually believed in him, and with such devout and fervent faith.

It really makes one not know whether to laugh or cry.

Back then, the blood Moran bestowed strengthened the affinity between Barthomeloi and Britain, coupled with the faith that has continued to this day, no wonder Barthomeloi has been so strong.

Moran merged his own flesh and blood into Britain, and therefore, it does indeed respond to its people to a certain extent.

The talents and abilities of the Barthomeloi family throughout the generations are a manifestation of this.

This is a reward for their loyalty.

Like the loyalty of the graveyard clan allowing Gray to have ancestral reversion, this is another manifestation of Britain responding to faith.

Moran initially only wanted to build a foundation for the continuation of the Age of Gods.

He hadn't thought about this aspect.

This wave was completely an unintentional success.

"King, do you have any thoughts on my faith?"

Lorelei noticed the change in Moran's expression.

She wouldn't find it strange if Moran felt displeased because of this.

But, that doesn't mean she will compromise.

It's like a fish born to live in water.

Can it decide not to live in water from now on because of the master's likes and dislikes?
