I bit the bullet in the end and headed to the Holy Empire after returning to the Kite Kingdom.
I could have stayed in the Kite Kingdom a bit longer, but the thought was like there was an itch in the back of my head. This itch just wouldn't go away no matter how I tried to ignore it and I had no choice but to find the answer that would alleviate this itch.
That was why I was heading to the Holy Empire.
That was the place where I could hopefully get the answer that I wanted.
As for why it was the Holy Empire, it was the only place that I could actually talk to the gods.
To meet with the gods required a large concentration of divine energy and the only places that kind of divine energy could gather were places close to the gods themselves.
A place like the Holy Empire's main church was the best place for that since it was where the faith of countless people were concentrated.
That made it a very important place for the gods.
