Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 202
The contract was written in an instant. It is a form that is satisfying to me and a form that makes the Temple of His Jena smile bitterly..
"Sincerity... It was a very comfortable word when I used it.."
What was specifically presented was the information and combat experience about demons that the temple had accumulated over the years. The level of issuance of a token that allows you to receive benefits even if you visit a temple of the Holy Light Cross in any region in the future. As for the rest, we ask that you only express 'sincerity' because we know how important the Holy Light Cross Society places on the issue of saints..
If you want to maintain a good relationship in the long run, you have to give a little more, and even if you don't, there is a proper attitude to be taken as a faithful believer in response to the major incident of the assassination of a saint, so you will have no choice but to look at others and it will be undesirable. ‘Anything’ is good for A but extremely annoying for B..
"I already showed my sincerity by accepting the conditions of the temple related to the saint and not asking for anything else.."
I found out about the irregularities of one religious denomination, and this was actually a very cheap deal. Even if you tell Ragnis or Esmue right away, this is a problem that will get your bones ripped out. No, you could eat everything you want from Esmu noodles to your taste, right? If the other person takes care of me in moderation and then says that I will get a double share, then my sincerity has already been extracted from the fact that it is a condition that has nothing to say..
Since it's like paying extra for something that was originally meant to be done without pay, it doesn't really matter, so there's some rough negotiation... but since I've clearly stated what I wanted to get anyway, this is an opportunity to find out what the average personality of the Holy Light Cross Society is. If you think about it, this isn’t bad either..
"That's perfectly reasonable. Let's prepare with things that are not too noticeable but are clear. Do you need any other help solving your xie jiao problem??"
"Are there any consumables that are good for demons or something like that? They say there are about a hundred cultists... They won't all die in one place, but given the location, I think there's a possibility that the devil will use them as sacrifices and force them to show up.."
I wasn't sure since all of my knowledge about demons was just what I learned from books, but fortunately it seems it wasn't nonsense at all..
"hmm. It's quite possible. In fact, such cases remain. We will provide it free of charge. The other thing?"
"Holy water and potions? I would appreciate it if you could return it when you have not dealt with the devil, but loan it to pay for it later if you use it for other reasons. And since we need to use the cultists we brought as bait, we'll take them back.."
"In that case, sufficient support is available. I trust that you understand that type of contract.."
I also basically take potions, but they are of lower quality than the potions that are made by separately processing items that are selected and selected by alchemists at the temple. Because it is stored in a steel container for safety, the contents deteriorate little by little and the effect weakens..
In comparison, the temple's potions are of high quality, with even the glass bottles being specially processed through magical engineering, so they do not break easily and there is no risk of deterioration of the potion. As it is a very expensive product, the downside is that it is still difficult to dare to do it without support in this form..
A potion the size of a small test tube, which only contains one or two sips, costs a whopping two gold coins. Although there is nothing more precious than life, it is still better to buy cheaper potions and take care of them with care..
"Then, please take care of me, Eldmia. Let's prepare the supplies by tomorrow.."
After a brief greeting, we left the reception room and headed to the chapel..
"Now that I think about it, you didn't ask about the saint, Eldmia.."
"Yeah, whatever. I guess I didn't ask because I wasn't interested.?"
"Even though she is said to have had some unpleasant incidents, she is a saint of a religious order. If things continue like this, she may soon undergo a heresy inquisition and become the core power of the church.."
"It's just that I'm not interested.."
Perhaps surprising at my reaction, the shrine leader Hisyena, walking next to me with a slightly surprised expression, asked a question..
"That's another unexpected reaction. Why??"
"Because it's obvious that it would be annoying to get involved in something like that, right? Rather, I would like to ask why you think this is an unexpected reaction.?"
Of course, I wasn't asking because I really didn't know. I just think that if I do it this way, I can avoid the annoying questions and answers. Sure enough, Hisyena Shrine said, ‘Hmm. okay.' With that last word, no more questions were asked..
Just a few days ago, we danced swords among nobles, but now we have to dance swords among religious people again? I can do the sword dance, but I don't like being swayed by wordplay here..
"Ah, Eldmia! Are you finished talking??"
When I arrived at the chapel, Sen and his companions stood blankly and greeted me. At first glance, it looks like he was waiting for the day after receiving his reward..
"what. You came later than me, but the story seems to have ended sooner.."
"yes. Since morning prayers are coming up soon, they seem to be busy in one way or another.."
You used that so subtly as an excuse? Anyway, wherever you go, there are a lot of snakes. Of course, the right answer is to cut your stop loss quickly with Velesica..
As actions speak louder than words, we left the temple at a brisk pace, and Sen followed closely and asked:.
"Now that I think about it, the priests said Eldmia would have something to convey separately. Is that correct? Are you a client??"
"You're needlessly sharp. that's right. was commissioned."
"At the very least, he must be a cult member, right? You were going to sweep it away anyway, so it's completely beneficial, right??"
"We'll have to wait and see if this is beneficial or not.."
It would be beneficial if I didn't have anything to do with it after becoming a cult member, but if not, it would be really annoying..
◈
After completing business at the temple, the day passed quickly..
Since I was going to stop by the capital on the way to the cultists' base anyway, all I had to do was buy what I needed as much as possible and go around saying hello to the rest, but trying to do it all in one day was taking more time than I thought..
Fortunately, Asili was relieved of her hangover by evening, so we ate Mrs. Alicia's last meal, got up from a good night's sleep, left her behind, and headed to the temple..
Although the head of the Temple of Hisyena did not come out to greet us in person, the items handed over by Priest Ashel, who came on her behalf, were of such high quality that it was reassuring to look at them. As I took ten bottles of potions, five bottles of holy water, and two unidentifiable cubes and examined them, Priest Ashel continued his explanation..
"When the devil comes out, tear it up and throw it at the feet of the mortal.."
"So what happens??"
"Torn to death. For the weak, that's all they need."
Crazy fucking god, it was such a bloody thing. Without realizing it, I opened my eyes wide and flinched, followed by his hearty laughter..
"It contains a holy magic spell casted by the temple leader himself. As long as you don't make a pact with the devil, there's no problem, so don't worry.."
"...There's something wrong with making a contract with the devil, right? What is the range?"
"well? It can be said that the area where light reaches is within the allowable range. As I said in advance, for it to be effective on cult members, it must be at the level of receiving power almost directly. Don't waste your time."
Sheesh. I was thinking of using it to catch cultists and just beat up demons, but it doesn't seem to work that way. It was unfortunate, but it was still good enough support, so I decided to accept it gratefully..
"And the saint asked me to pass on the message. She said she was sorry for not being able to say thank you properly. He said he would definitely see me again when he came back.."
Instead, I tried to say that it was for my own good that we never get involved again, but I just nodded. It's a bit weird to spit in someone's face when they're showing favor..
"I'll come back to report once it's sorted out. Have a hard time."
"okay. I hope Lwiviska’s blessings be with you.."
Of course you should do it together. This problem arose because I was unable to manage the church..
Thanks to this, we were able to leave Ogwen in just three days. We increased the speed of our horses to at least get to the capital..
"sen! How long do you think it will take from the capital to reach the cultists' base??"
"It will take about 5 days! If you take a route that stops at the city in the middle, it will take another day.!"
It looks like the vacation that was supposed to last a week ended up being a little longer. For some reason, I have to ask Lord Yekaf for his understanding again..
"How do you get around in the capital? Would you like to engrave it first when it arrives??"
While I was used to having most of my conversations with Sen, Merdella actively started talking to me. Although it is no different from putting a dog collar around your neck, the stack of distrust has built up and you are in a situation where you are only watching, so I think the desire to get out of there as soon as possible has increased..
"I will try, but depending on the situation, it may take a little longer, so go ahead and judge.!"
Radnellbandes and Mr. Widra. It is questionable whether we can meet right away, but the problem is that there is no one else I can ask for besides the two of them. If Esmueh had been there, he might have brought at least a wizard with him, so it would have been worth asking for a favor, but since he would have already returned home by now, the possibility was slim..
Actually, that was probably good. Anyway, there's nothing I can't respond to if they're making a modification, and the collateral called Sen is so powerful that I don't have much interest in it. Rather, the reason I wanted to stop by the capital was because I had expectations that the item I had asked Mr. Balkun to produce would be completed..
I can't stand receiving packages.
