Never touch Eldmia Egga - Episode 241
After a satisfactory night's sleep, we woke up early in the morning, packed our bags, and slowly prepared to head to Ogwen..
Meanwhile, there was a small incident that occurred because we did not properly look at the compensation we received yesterday, and it was the words we received as compensation. Not only me, but all of my companions were just thinking that something like that would happen, and it was only today that we checked the condition of the horses and were very impressed with the results..
"Wow, this is surprisingly spectacular.."
All the horses we received were high-quality horses. It is said that he even brought a pedigree certificate to receive the transfer..
"But for some reason, it feels a bit less intimidating than what Eldmia and Asilier rode on.."
"Compare things to compare. Just one of those would have been enough to buy about six of them.."
"ah..."
The words Sir Ekaf gave were very good words, but they were good enough words. It's at a level that only nobles can't even touch in their lifetime. To be honest, the compensation and compensation that Englem and the Adventurer's Guild have to pay are quite high, so I thought I would play moderately in this area, but it was a pleasant miscalculation..
"Hehe, I guess I should take this opportunity and sell it. If I die for no reason, I won't be able to sleep at night.."
"That's right. I thought I would never ride a horse like this in my life...."
"I just wanna ride."
While Gaendal and Mr. Gin reacted the same way, Catherine's eyes lit up and she expressed her special aspirations. Even so, because of the heavy weight of the Warhammer, she tended to be disinterested in most of the words she said, but the words she received this time seem to have really resonated with her since she was born as a battle horse..
"Man, it's a shame they can't sell the by-products from that devil. If they could have sold it together this time, it would have sold for the highest price.."
"There is no choice. It is also proof that the request was completed.."
When I saw the price of other loot being set, I was tempted to sell it as is and then take the supporting documents and submit them to the Holy Light Cross Society, but since I had earned a lot in many ways, I decided to choose credit rather than be greedy..
"Money is an infinite good, but time is a finite good. And credit is something that is difficult to buy even with such time, so it is a wise choice. The Holy Light Cross Society will also give you a good evaluation of you because of this incident.."
Is it because the Senerans are the ones with the most assets among us? I feel like each and every piece of money advice touches my core. Of course, I feel like I've already done everything I could by just rescuing the saint, but I don't think that's particularly wrong..
Anyway, after chatting with excitement for a moment and finishing the maintenance, we left Englem behind without any regrets and set off on our trip..
"It seems like it's gotten colder over the past few days.."
The weather was starting to get colder day by day, perhaps as winter began in earnest, and it seemed like snow would fall at any moment. Asilier, who heard me muttering to myself, nodded her head and said.
"If we don't hurry, we might end up seeing snow in the mountains.."
In preparation for this trip, our clothes were thicker and our horses were deliberately loaded with winter gear purchased from Englem, but even so, it was difficult to ignore the devil's dung powder falling from the sky. It's not really a joke, it's because it's not uncommon to fall as if you're going to be crushed to death by snow..
In my previous life, when I was in the military, I woke up early in the morning to shovel snow that was up to my ankles, and while I was eating lunch, the snow fell again to the same level as the morning before and I felt depressed. But here, that's normal, so I'm done. It's not for no reason that adventurers are prevented from leaving the area during winter and that there are restrictions on quests..
"Personally, I wish it would rain a bit cooler, but Ethisel people don't like snow that much.."
Catherine comes up next to me and speaks to me as I furrow my eyebrows with worry about my eyes that make me feel like my life is in danger..
"Wouldn't it be harder to like getting off on a killing spree?."
"ha ha ha! That's a funny joke, Eldmia! Does it feel similar to drowning in a light rain??"
what? Light rain? I looked at Ye Katrina with a puzzled expression on her face, but she seemed to be speaking seriously and not jokingly. She was running very hard, so she couldn't ask Lellie for an explanation as she had no time to spare, so Asilie explained it to her in the midst of her embarrassment..
"That's because snow of a level that can be called heavy snow in Etisel falls frequently in Loveville. It snows so much there that you wonder how people can live there.."
Wow...so does that mean Catherine can't feel anything other than homesick from the snow falling here? It was a ridiculous difference in perception, but at the same time, it was reassuring. At least, if you live in a place where it snows a lot, you probably know a million different ways to deal with heavy snow..
"Since it's a place where it snows that much, I guess I know a lot about how to deal with it.?"
"well? Is there any way to deal with it? You either build a hideout and hold on, or you just hang on.!"
Damn, Catherine tends to walk the tightrope between civilization and barbarism. Is it because of superior basic physical ability?.
Fortunately, despite our anxious start, the snow did not fall until we reached the threshold of Ogwen, through forests, over mountains, and slowly freezing rivers. Still, my companions and I headed to the Holy Light Cross Society with the foolish thought that the universe was considerate of us in this regard just because we had lived a good life, and we were left tongue-tied at the sight of the temple, which had changed so much from the last time we saw it..
"This is a bit too serious...?"
Anyone looking at it could easily have mistaken it for the headquarters of the Holy Light Cross Society, not the Ogwen branch. A very strong-looking wooden fence had been installed on the site of the temple, where no proper stone walls had been built until now, and something resembling a tactical barracks had been erected on the small lawn where children played..
But what caught our eye more than anything was the sight of two ‘real’ paladins standing guard at the entrance..
"Crazy fuck oh my god. This is my first time seeing Paladins since I was born.."
While quietly increasing my evaluation of Sen, who spoke for me, I was secretly impressed by the armor the paladins were wearing. That's armor? Even though it is a power armor made of iron, it is so huge that it is hard to believe what to say. Even the mace and shield he is holding are equally huge, so they are no different from Catherine's warhammer..
The wall of armor, which seemed to never be able to move without using some kind of magical means, slowly moved and spoke to us..
"This is the Ogwen branch of the Holy Light Cross. Do you have any business??"
I thought it would be a deep male voice, but surprisingly it was a female. It is an armor that does not show any curves of the body. Since I was still the member of the party, I got off my horse first and spoke to the paladin..
"It's called Eldmia Ega. I have come to report that I have completed the demon extermination request I received from Temple Director Hisyena.."
Contrary to their stiff tone, they did not show a threatening attitude, so I thought they would not be beaten at the door, but the Holy Knights suddenly hung their weapons on the clasp-like parts of their shoulder armor, raised their visors, and spoke in a very different tone from before. walked.
"ah! Not only did she bring the saint safely, but she also went out to suppress evil without the slightest hesitation! Her brother's matter has been relayed to the parish priest! I am so glad that you returned safely after completing a task that even the crusaders could not easily complete.!"
"Ah...yeah..."
"Even though he is not affiliated with a religious denomination, he has left such a noble legacy. He is truly a role model for all people. Oh my, you must be tired. Please excuse me. Come on in! It seemed like it was already taking place later than expected, and a look of concern appeared on the parish priest's face.!"
The paladins, who were spontaneously moved, shook our hands and were considerate of us, opened the way with bright smiles, and we headed towards the temple, accepting their favor as resolutely as possible. After entering the chapel, leaving behind the excessive kindness of the paladins who offered to take care of the horse for a while, Lellie shook her head and slowly began to speak..
"I never thought I would be treated so kindly by a paladin in my lifetime.."
"Eldmia, life will never be boring if I go around with you. LOL LOL."
"Iknow, right. My wish is to live a slightly boring life.."
"If you want to achieve that wish, wouldn't you first have to live a normal life?."
Priest Ashel, who must have thought what I said was a joke, burst out laughing and strode over to me, tapping my shoulder with his large hand..
"I'm glad you're safe. Yes, the bishop's request was successfully resolved.?"
"yes. I slit the devil's throat.."
I literally slit his throat. Priest Ashel was very pleased with that expression, without the slightest exaggeration..
"But you are the parish priest? I think you're talking about Temple Commander Hisyena. Did you get promoted??"
"Promotion. It's a truly secular expression... but it's not wrong. Regarding that, the parish priest will speak separately. We'll take you there to relieve your travel fatigue, so you can go see the vicar. I remember the way to the drawing room?"
Something... I sense something..
There is trouble here.
