Quoted By:
A pair of very good boots! Well-stitched, solid-looking leather boots chased with gold embroidery. The envoy's porter presents them while on his knees with both hands as though offering a bejeweled treasure to you.
To your mind, they might as well be worth their weight in gold.
Truth be told, you haven't traveled outside Camelot the city due to a lack of proper footwear. The idea of tramping through the island of Logres with nothing but wooden geta clogs on is a recipe for torture of the feet. When you went to hunt the Wyvern in the hateful World, you had to go in bare feet, and it took a day to recover from the punishment. It is a good thing you have a healing factor from being Blessed and the Doctor applied medication to quickly heal the wounds!
You pick up the boots to see what sort of treads they boast of and discover a pattern of hobnails.
"Is this a Relic?" You ask Legatus Lucius directly.
"The Imperator called them <span class="mu-r">Springheel Boots</span>. They allow the wearer to fall great distances without hurting themselves and jump very fall."
<span class="mu-r">You acquired the Relic Springheel Boots! You can jump very far and land a very long distance without injury. How far? You'll have to find out.</span>
Lucius knows how to spoil a fellow human. Now you have comfortable footwear to walk in, but it also has special powers! You wonder if the other Relics you own also have special powers; you haven't tested the Mask or Tea Bowl yet.
You side-eye the Roman envoy while you also accept the letter accompanying the gift. This doll man isn't just an arrogant, greedy foreigner; he's also a cowardly bully. Agreste is powerful, and just hinting about the stone man is enough to make the foreigner crumple. Yet, you can't be complacent and rely entirely on using Agreste's name all the time to get your way. The Herald might take exception to you hiding behind his dreadful name for an advantage. And you know power that wholly relies on an unsound foundation eventually crumbles.
"Your Majesty! Let us hear the words of the Emperor Lucius! The letter!"Your vassals call out in one voice. They are curious to hear the words of another sovereign and as the highest ranking Baphomets, it is important to know if it will effect Camelot. You wonder if the letter is something to read aloud to your vassals. It was presented to you publicly, so it must mean that the contents aren't anything questionable.
Breaking the seal, you unfurl the small scroll, and the faint scent of citrus exudes from it. It is written in some sort of language you can't read. Your puzzlement is obvious as the envoy sighs and offers to read aloud the letter for you. You don't have much choice in the matter, and the unfurled letter is read aloud by the Roman. If there's one thing that is to the credit of Legatus Lucius, it is that he has a good voice for speaking.
