Rud didn't turn around. He picked up the bread and took a small bite. Crunch.
Lyle runs his fingers over the weathered seal. The raw text describes a magical formula that rejects "those with noble blood or holy blessings." Because Lyle is neither a noble nor a hero/chosen one — just a poor commoner with vast magical knowledge — the gate rumbles open. This reinforces the series’ core irony: the hero’s party kicked him out for being "useless," yet his ordinariness is the key to ancient, forbidden places.

He recalls a fragment from a cheap, discarded grimoire he bought at a junk stall three arcs ago (callback to chapter 412). The grimoire spoke of the First King hiding a "counter-weapon" against the very concept of "blessings." The raw text uses the term 祝福耐性 (shukufuku taisei) – blessing immunity. Lyle muses that if he finds it, he can finally stand on equal footing with the hero who discarded him.
The owner of the voice walked around the table and sat in the empty chair opposite him. It was a woman with vibrant red hair and a greatsword strapped to her back. The clothes she wore were high-quality leather armor, clearly expensive.
"Where are you going?" Sylph asked, her hand moving to the hilt of her sword.
