The Goddess's Monument

Northern Plateau.

Kino Mountain Gorge.

Since entering the Empire requires a three-week screening process, to pass the time, Frieren said she would take everyone to an interesting place.

[The Goddess's Monument]

I did see the name Rienta in the book.

Legend has it that the Goddess infused her magic into the stone tablet.

Across the entire continent, the Goddess left behind a total of ten [Goddess's Monuments ].

I never expected there would be one here.

As Frieren led the way, she asked, "You should all be familiar with the Goddess, right?"

"Of course," Fern nodded and said, "When I was little, Lord Heiter often told stories about the Goddess."

Of the four, only Stark didn't quite understand.

Rienta gave Stark a brief explanation.

After listening, Stark said, "So, one of the [Goddess's Monuments ] is nearby, right?"

Frieren nodded. "Yes, so I'd like to take this opportunity to try and decipher the magic within the [Goddess's Monument]."

Fern frowned slightly and said, "If I remember correctly, no one has successfully deciphered any [Goddess's Monument] so far, right?"

Upon hearing this, Stark frowned.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it take a very long time to complete the analysis?"

"I don't want to stay here for decades!"

Rienta thought so too.

Although for him, several decades is not a long time.

But staying here for decades just for a magic spell seems like a bad deal.

Just as he was about to offer some advice to Frieren spoke first.

"Don't worry, I just want to avenge myself."

"If the analysis fails to resolve the issue by the end of the review process, I will give up."

In that case, the stay would only be three weeks.

They were never supposed to enter the Imperial Territory.

Finding something to do is acceptable.

Fern and Stark shared the same view, and neither of them raised their objections again.

Seeing this, Rienta turned and asked, "Lady Frieren, what do you mean by 'avenging your humiliation'?"

Frieren explained, "When we were fighting the Demon King, Himmel and I passed through here. We got lost in the forest for three days and three nights, and we were exhausted."

"Everyone was a bit angry when we found the stone tablet, which meant I didn't have time to examine it in detail."

Fern: "So, we're going there next too?"

"So, can we get angry too?"

Frieren: "..."

Rienta chuckled and patted Fern on the shoulder.

"Just three weeks, Fern."

"It's better to camp alone in the forest than to squeeze in with the merchants at the checkpoint."

Fern nodded reluctantly and said no more.

After Rienta calmed Fern down, she gestured for Frieren to continue.

Frieren gave Rienta a satisfied look, then continued:

"Furthermore, my memories of investigating behind the stone tablet have become very hazy; it feels like a week's worth of memories have inexplicably disappeared."

Upon hearing this, Stark asked with some concern, "That stone tablet isn't anything dangerous, is it?"

Frieren chuckled softly, without directly answering the question.

"In short, the path to the monument is fraught with danger, so stay alert."

Stark leaned close to Rienta and whispered:

"Rienta, remember to buff it with the [Rho Aias] whenever possible."

Rienta chuckled and said, "I understand."

In the Northern Plateau, Stark was besieged by dragons on several occasions.

They even had close contact with a dragon's mouth.

If it weren't for the [Rho Aias], Stark's head would probably have been chewed up like a snack.

However, based on his understanding of Stark...

Even if he were bitten on the head, Stark probably wouldn't be in any serious trouble.

Of course, this was just something I thought to myself.

When the battle actually begins, he will definitely still Stark with [Rho Aias].

There's no need to experiment with your teammates' lives just out of curiosity.

Two days later.

Rienta and the others finally found the [Goddess's Monument].

But there was only half a piece; the upper part had broken into several pieces and was scattered around.

Frieren crouched on the ground, carefully examining the [Goddess's Monument].

"Finally found it!"

Fern murmured softly.

Stark rested his hands on his knees, bowing slightly.

"So this is the [Goddess's Monument]?"

"They're all broken."

Frieren replied softly, "It's alright, there's still Mana left."

Rienta frowned, staring at the engravings at the base of the stone tablet.

After a moment's hesitation, she asked, "Lady Frieren, were these engravings present when you came before?"

Frieren looked in the direction Rienta was pointing.

At the bottom of the stone tablet are two lines of text that are clearly not in the same style.

Frieren looked at it for a while and replied, "These words weren't there when I came last time."

At that moment, Fern also came over and looked at the bottom of the stone tablet.

"These characters don't look like they were just carved."

At this point, Frieren also translated the first line of text.

"Fiala... Thor..."

Upon hearing this, Fern pondered for a moment and said, "These names are also recorded in the Sacred Scriptures, right? I remember it's in the Bird Chapter of the Time Pilgrimage..."

"Emmm..." Frieren hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't know, I'm not familiar with the contents of the Sacred Scripture."

Fern looked at Frieren with a hint of helplessness. "You think you can analyze the [Goddess's Monument] with this?"

"Lady Frieren told me to study hard just now..."

Frieren replied somewhat awkwardly, "Because that wasn't very interesting..."

After saying that, Frieren looked at the second line of text again.

After a long pause, he frowned and said, "I've never seen this passage before."

Fern didn't understand what the second line of text meant either.

Just as Frieren and Fern were frowning.

Rienta spoke up, saying, "I do know a little about it."

Frieren and Fern both looked at Rienta.

Rienta thought for a long time, and finally decided to speak up. She took a deep breath and said:

This text is from [Excalibur Morgan].

It means: [Excalibur]

"This is a spell-like name."

Frieren and Fern looked completely bewildered.

The name of this move is quite in line with Rienta's naming style.

However, neither of them had ever seen Rienta use this magic.

Frieren tilted her head and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"Forget it, let's analyze the [Goddess's Monument] first."

Her goal was to decipher the magic within the [Goddess's Monument], not the text itself.

Upon hearing this, Rienta nodded, turned around, and said to Fern:

"Fern, please keep watch with Stark."

"I'd like to analyze the [Goddess's Monument] with Lady Frieren."

He had originally planned to slack off.

If Frieren's analysis is successful, then he can simply learn directly from Frieren.

If Frieren is unable to decipher it successfully, then we'll wait until another time to decipher it.

But the inscription "[Excalibur Morgan]" bothered him.

That's why I wanted to analyze the [Goddess's Monument] with Frieren.

Frieren moved aside slightly to make room for Rienta.

Rienta then sat down on the ground in front of the stone tablet.

Seeing this, Fern sighed, exchanged a glance with Stark, and then went their separate ways.

"Then, let's begin the analysis."

Frieren stretched out her palm and reached towards the [Goddess's Monument].

The same applies to Rienta.

The two of them together cast [Analysis Magic] on the [Goddess's Monument].
