Myne - “I’m not in love with ferdi”

1 blessing of sleep later

Myne - “I need to find a way to get him to bless me every night”

Me - internally screaming

I love that they’re now just knocking each other out now. Boom, it’s nap time!

I wonder if it has combat potential. Bless your sleep deprived foes and watch them sleep 😴

Rozemyne thinks that Ferdinand omitted that one had to pray to the shrines to get the Grutrissheit, to make the situation seem more urgant than it was... but I think she's wrong there.

Even if we assume the praying is necessary, it's entirely possible that the Lanzenave king might already have gotten a couple of the tablets, back when he was a student. Furthermore it has already been several days, since he went to the villa. With a sufficient supply of rejuvenation potions, he could already be well on his way to get the full set of tablets together.

Plus the Lanzenavians have silver clothes, which allows them to bypass all manner of barriers, that other people would need to clear the requirements for.

That being said, both the access to the underground archive and the passage from it to the resting place of the magic tool Grutrissheit are of the kind, that don't just have a barrier, but that close a solid wall before them, which I strongly suspect you can not walk through even in silver cloth. But then again, from Rozemyne's recent exploit in Gerlach, we know that even ivory material can be broken through, so that is no guaranteed protection either, which might potentially even allow them to skip the entire shrine visit process and go straight to that room, if they feel they are running out of time.

So in short, the situation is really as urgend as Ferdinand paints it, in my opinion. Also not telling everyone about how the shrines work, is probably the wiser decision, considering they want to avoid future conflict with the royal family.

“Practice what you preach, then,” Thank you! Finally someone said it to his face.

Rozemyne: "So what wonderful dream did you have?"

Ferdinand: "It was nothing worth mentioning."

LOL, I have a pretty good guess as to the topic of the dream. ;-)
