Looking at Brahms as if he were dreaming. He returned to the subject the boy had first wondered about.

"About the Pilgrimage." Brahms heard Althur mention the keyword he was most interested in and finally came to the main topic he was wondering about.

"For the average believer, pilgrimage is a journey—simply going to a sacred place to experience the divine there. There are many sacred places for Lut followers to go. For example, the Temple of St. Aelius, which was built on the grave of a holy martyr, their most famous pilgrimage, however, was to see the unquenchable fire in the desert of Eos, where it is said to receive the first rays of light when the sun has risen from the shore. Burning the land turned it into a desert, but the benevolent god left a flame to light civilization."

Althur began to explain the secular meaning of pilgrimage. It is a common belief that is even enshrined in canon law. However, the connection between this and the mystical method called pilgrimage Which came from which, he could not tell.

"Every believer believes that pilgrimage is something that should be done at least once in a lifetime. It's a way to challenge yourself; overcoming it will make you better or closer to God."

"For us, however, pilgrimage is a mysterious method of achieving qualitative change, thereby receiving extraordinary powers."

"There are three important things to be prepared for during a Pilgrimage. It is ritual, sacrifice, and sacred space. These are the three basic requirements that must be met to organize the Pilgrimage. In addition, there is another factor, which is the instructor. However, you don't need to know this right now."

"As for the ritual, this is something handed down after thousands of trials and errors." Churches and churches, as well as other powers, will keep the organizations for themselves. However, at low levels, the ritual is quite simple, and most are interchangeable."

"Sacrifice is a broad topic. However, just remember that things related to the same areas will work."

"Sacred space is similar. It could be an important place filled with divine power or a place created by blessed items."

"Remember, this is an undisclosed secret." Althur turned and spoke in a low, warning voice. Brahms, the petite boy, nodded his head vigorously to show that he could be trusted.

"Do not worry. As you know, the academy has an occult department that collects and trains supernatural people. He, too, awakened his power there. They have a dark room that can raise the odds of awakening the power, or, as the people there put it, "beginning the journey of the mind."

"Churches hold the methods to organize a pilgrimage with a higher success rate than many other forces."

"Do you know why?" Althur asked.

This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source.

"Because the gods told them." Brahms thought he didn't know these things. He is just a child.

"Almost exactly. But the gods are not spared to take care of every single believer."

"Faith. It was something that was important to the believers of the gods. Practice faith, and the stronger the belief, the easier it is to succeed. That was also the reason why the Knights Templar had limited power. They are different from the cardinals in the church of priests. People who are nurtured in faith are just blank sheets of paper."

"Because their beliefs are not false." He finally spoke to Brahms in a sudden, low voice.

Brahms listened attentively. However, he did not think that was a good thing. He didn't want to have to think about the gods all day. He wanted to be curious about many things. Except for Althur, who helped him, he considers him a mentor and a teacher. He wants to learn many things so that he can help Althur in the future. He didn't want to spend all day worrying about what a god said or doing what the gods told him to do.

If Althur knew what Brahms was thinking, he would probably laugh at the little boy's concern. He saved Brahms because of an accident, and because of what happened then, he considered Brahms his partner in the future. If asked, he would say the boy was a little duck, not only in his playful appearance but in his behavior, like a duckling seeing its mother for the first time. Of course, he wasn't afraid to feel the boy's kindness.

"Everyone's personal experience is unique. If there is influence from an outside force, even if it makes things easier, it is not a good thing."

"Because of historical events, the Haya Church, the Temple of Lut, and the current royal family have reached a temporary balance. However, there are also other forces, such as Isandros Academy and its derivative, OSPIS, all of which constitute forces on the bright side in our kingdom. Through many polite ups and downs, religious organizations have achieved their own achievements, maintaining the stability on the surface as it is now." He added a bit about the relationship between the notable forces.

"Always remember: Pilgrimage is a journey."

Brahms listened dreamily. He thought about the first ritual and how one receives change when realizing the existence of forces. He thought about what followed. Then they will come out after going through the ritual. How their power changes. Their power can continue to grow. His mind was filled with questions. However, as he listened to "the pilgrimage is a journey," Brahm's mind was filled with other things as well. He didn't know what was going on with himself, as if he were the one receiving enlightenment.

"Okay, let's stop here today. Let's get ready to eat."

"But me, where do I come from?" Brahms asked as if he didn't want to end the matter. Because the problem he wondered about the most was his own existence. Brahms wants to know about his power.

Althur looked at him slowly. "Do not worry. You're just special. In addition to pilgrimage as the main method, there are many other things."

But really, he knew something, but he did not how to say that to little boy. His appearance was an accident, similar to his existence.

"You see, I heard that the palace has a library full of knowledge. I will look for an opportunity to get in there."

"Do you believe me?" He leaned down and looked into Brahms' big, round eyes.

"I have". Brahms nodded and lowered his head.

"Let's go. Maybe there's nothing left to eat now."

"Althur, can I ask one more question?" The boy grimaced and narrowed his eyes, which was what Althur felt—in fact, just a slight movement on the boy's brow.

"Alright. If I know, I will answer."

"Uhm, um." The boy hesitated. "What were your symptoms then?"

Although he didn't explicitly mention the Mystic Syndrome, Althur also understood that the boy wanted to know about it. It's not a secret. Since Brahms was the one attached to him, there was no need to hide many things.

He looked down at the road, where wandering children were still hanging around the passersby. His eyes seemed to grow deep. "I run very fast."
