Preliminaries (3)
“Buy dried fruit. It's sweet and delicious. It's perfect as a travel food.!”
“The carriage to the capital is leaving soon! There are only a few seats left, so hurry up.!”
“Wow, this is too expensive. Please reduce it a bit..”
Heinz was walking in the middle of the city.
Control of the barrier installed in the forest of monsters was handed over to Hans, and he went out to do other things..
Even if we used all the materials obtained from the Buncheonhoe and those obtained by Harley, there were no problems with the supply of materials afterwards..
Hans couldn't go outside without permission, but he had countless undead who would become his hands and feet..
‘As long as the fragments of the Immortal King are not directly exposed. No matter how great a saint's abilities are, it is impossible to monitor the entire continent and identify each undead..’
The fragment's characteristics were so clear that it could not be easily hidden, but for the undead under his command, a simple black magic cloaking device was sufficient..
The reason Heinz, who was moving towards his destination, stopped by this place was because there were people that suddenly came to mind..
Kingdom of Thalia, La Perla City, located in the western part of the continent.
It was the city where I separated from the siblings I met in Azantu..
‘It's been roughly 7 months since we broke up. Since the flow of time is different, it already happened like that..’
Because 3 days on Earth is a month here.
Of course, since his alter ego, Heinrich, was still training at Outerica, he could feel the passage of time..
The problem is that I don't really feel it because I'm focusing on training that is repeated every day within the church..
‘Certainly, vampires are occasionally seen here too. It's not as active as Azantu, but it feels a bit selfish..’
I felt vampires all over the city through transcendent synesthesia and “seeing through.”.
But Heinz didn't care about them and walked confidently..
Because there is no longer anyone who can see through his “concealment”..
Unless it is Precious Blood..
“Hahahaha~”
“Rafi! It's dangerous to run like that!”
While I was walking and looking around,.
As the brother and sister were getting closer to the grocery store where they had left, a small girl suddenly jumped out from the corner of the street..
“···Yup?”
Heinz, who had already noticed the approach, naturally dodged, but the startled child got caught when he tried to stop..
“Ugh—?”
“Rafi!”
A situation where you could fall due to running inertia and get seriously injured..
But before the child even hits the floor.
Talk—
Heinz naturally caught it and gently placed it on the floor..
“···huh?”
It was such a natural movement that even the child involved blinked..
As if nothing had happened.
“Rafi! I told you to be careful because it's dangerous.!”
The boy who hurried up from behind scolded the girl and anxiously looked to see if she was hurt..
And I sighed in relief as if there was nothing wrong..
“ah! thank you! Thanks to this, Rafi was able to avoid getting hurt. Come on, Rafi. You should say hello too?”
“···Sigh.”
At the boy's urging, the child, who appeared to be about four years old, looked secretly and bowed his head..
Then he hid behind the boy and only peeked out his eyes..
“sorry. My child is a bit shy. Thank you again.”
A boy bowing and bowing to express his thanks again.
I was glad you were doing well so far..
“It's okay, Aaron. Looks like nothing much has happened so far..”
“···Uh, yes? You know me···?”
“······.”
Just when I was about to feel sad that I had already forgotten myself, I suddenly realized that my face was different from before..
「Due to “mixed-blood evolution,” his skeleton changed and he grew into a true blood, and he touched his face to decisively remove the connection with the main body..
“Um... it's Heinz. Although her face has changed a bit due to various things happening in the meantime,.”
Turn your face back before you come.
Now that it was too late, I had no choice but to say that..
“···You really are a man?”
“okay.”
“······.”
It must be hard to believe, after all.
Just as I was wondering for a moment what to do now···.
wobble—
“mister—!”
Aaron was hugged in tears..
‘You trust me quicker than I thought..’
Heinz lightly patted Aaron on the back..
After a short break, Aaron held the hand of Rafi, the only daughter of his uncle's grocery store, and led the way..
“My sister will be surprised when she finds out that you are here! I've been waiting for this man for a long time, but I think it'll be fun to think that I won't even be able to recognize his face when I meet him.!”
“Hing hing hing~♪”
Aaron is talking excitedly and Rafi is holding his hand and shaking it back and forth..
He said he took charge of the child's care before they broke up, and it seemed like they had become quite close during that time..
That's how we arrived at the grocery store.
Diana was already looking this way as she was organizing the items on the shelf..
“sister! who am i···.”
“mister—!”
Thump—thud!
Before Aaron could finish his words, Diana rushed in and fell into Heinz’s arms..
The siblings look exactly alike, burying their faces in their arms with tears in their eyes..
“···No, how did your sister know right away??”
Except that Diana recognized it right away..
Meanwhile, as soon as he sensed someone coming out of the store, Heinz quickly put on his hood..
“Diana! What's going on... yeah?”
“hello? Mr. Bolt. It's been a while. This is Heinz.”
Diana calmed down by naturally greeting Bolt, who came out in surprise..
Then, as I moved to my seat with the children, I secretly asked her what I was curious about..
“Hmm... I don't smell blood like before. Still, it smells like an old man... Ugh, I don't know how to explain this. I just could tell..”
It was shocking to me that Diana recognized Heinz right away..
Because it meant that I saw through this “concealment”..
‘If you can't smell blood, it means that you're a vampire and that you're well hidden. I definitely focused on hiding that part..’
Still, the fact that he was able to see through Heinz's "concealment" to some extent, as he grew further, meant that his ability was greater than expected..
It means that if you raise it well, you will become a great talent..
“We are doing well. I go to the training center with Aaron in the morning to learn how to write and calculate, and in the afternoon, I help out at the store. They say it’s okay, but I also want to help in some way..”
Still, it seemed like he spent his free time reading books at the tutoring center once every two or three days..
Fortunately, the siblings' uncle seemed to be keeping his promise..
“I stopped by because I was passing by, and I'm glad you're doing well..”
“Hehe, it's all thanks to you. How have you been??”
Diana didn't say anything about the change in her face..
Since we know that Heinz is a vampire, we probably don't really care about that level of change..
“Hmm... okay. It wasn't bad.”
Because there were various achievements.
Also, the goal has become clear..
Afterwards, for a day, they bought delicious food for the three children, including Rafi, shared their thoughts, and gave support money to the siblings' uncle, Bolt..
The farewell that came again like that.
“Take care, uncle.—!”
“come again!”
“Papa~♪”
Still, perhaps because it was the second time, the children did not cry this time but waved their hands cheerfully..
‘Then, let’s go check the situation for a moment..’
After leaving the city, Heinz moved towards his original destination..
Heinz was very busy raising Heterosis on Earth, but he was able to take some time off by taking advantage of the time difference with the other world..
It won't take up that much time if you just collect information from time to time..
Why does he do this?.
Even while Heinrich was training at the Great Temple to become a Holy Knight, he was able to become friends with many people..
Among them, there were many who participated in the Immortal King's subjugation party, and through them I was able to hear in detail about the events that occurred during the expedition..
Conflict with a group of warlocks, friction between vampires and high-ranking people who seem to be under their instigation..
Adding that information to Heinz's experience when he encountered a female Jinhyeol near the capital on the day he first arrived in Talaria,···.
‘The influence of the Brokoslak Clan reaches deep into the kingdom of Thalia..’
A force that has already been deeply involved in politics to the extent of exerting influence behind the scenes of a country..
A group of vampires that was the origin of Heinz II's power. Clan Brokoslak.
‘It is a very useful paddle. There's nothing more to it than this.’
That's why I came all the way here again..
I plan on gathering information first before swallowing them up properly..
It is in Talaria, the capital of the Kingdom of Thalia, where the Brokoslak Clan's headquarters is likely to be located..
***
“oh? It suits you well?”
“Haha, is that so? But it's amazing. The armor fits my body type perfectly..”
“It is no exaggeration to say that the skills of the artisans in our main temple are the best on the continent. It's just a matter of modifying the existing armor to fit your body type..”
Heinrich was wearing the paladin armor that was supplied to him immediately after his ordination..
Smooth armor with a glossy white and silver color.
The inside surface was heavily engraved with prayers related to defense and resistance..
“But what are you going to do with the weapon? Normally, by the time you become a paladin, you will know which weapon is right for you, but you were ordained so quickly that you don't know much about it.?”
“Yes, I use a sword and shield as basics, and I am constantly learning other weapons.···.”
Heinrich's main skill, "Crusader Combat Art," was a practical martial art prepared for chaotic battlefields..
From bare-handed techniques to comprehensive weapon techniques that allow you to pick up and use any weapon..
Once you find a weapon that suits you, you can then learn related advanced weapon skills, but because Heinrich grew so quickly, he had not yet decided which weapon he would mainly use..
As there were many retired senior Holy Knights at Roselia Grand Shrine, there was also an environment where one could learn all kinds of weapon techniques from those who were martial arts instructors..
This means that you can receive education whenever you want..
“Or, you can join the Holy Knights who mainly use the weapon you want and learn by training with seniors. If you're lucky, you'll get guidance from the leader. Now that you think about it, have you decided where to go? What about my Silver Wing Paladins??”
The Silver Wing Holy Knights participated in the expedition to subdue the Immortal King of the Kingdom of Thalia..
This senior was the youngest paladin who returned together from the Kingdom of Thalia..
Although he had given me advice and cared for me in many ways from time to time, I was unwilling to have my freedom restricted by officially belonging to the Holy Knights..
“Rather than joining the Holy Knights... I would like to wander the continent, help those in need, and teach them the teachings of the Lord..”
“Hmm, I want to be a free paladin.?”
He nodded with an ambiguous expression..
“Well, it's a good thing to spread the Lord's will. Although it is difficult and dangerous, it is not particularly recommended. It's easy to be targeted by heretics..”
“I guess so. Still, I have no intention of giving up..”
“As such, you can also become a Free Paladin by passing certain standards. It's probably difficult at your level right now..”
For Heinrich, who had just been ordained as a Holy Knight, it was a goal that would still take time..
At his growth rate, he will be able to reach it quickly..
“It turns around and becomes a weapon again. First, you have to decide on your main weapon to learn advanced weapon skills. For the time being, you will be temporarily affiliated with various Holy Knights for training purposes, so think about it slowly..”
As he said, Heinrich had to learn the trade by being attached to several places for a while..
As there were many Holy Knights in the Grand Temple of Roselia, their main duties were also varied..
There was a group of Holy Knights that took on various missions, such as subduing warlocks and demon followers, hunting dangerous monsters, and protecting specific areas or elements..
Of course, the first place where newbie Heinrich was assigned was the place with the most basic work..
“Our job is the most important! Of course, there are too many powerful people staying here, but that is no reason to neglect vigilance. Our job is to strictly protect against any emergencies.!”
The first training center was the Holy Knights of Skyshield, which was in charge of the outer defense of the Great Temple of Roselia..
The senior paladin who guided him constantly emphasized the importance of their job..
“This is the Great Temple of Roselia, the heart of the church! Of course, heretics also use every means possible to tarnish the name of the church. If you allow even the slightest gap, they will rush at you. You can't relax even for a moment!”
But fortunately, nothing happened during Heinrich's stay..
Next, I joined the Sun Wolf Holy Knights that guarded the surroundings of the Holy Land, but even then, I was just fine..
In fact, since it was the heart of the main church, one of the continent's largest powers, it was normal for there to be almost nothing going on..
It's been a few months since I learned the job and devoted myself to training..
During that period, I was able to get used to the “Blessing: Leap” I received at the investiture ceremony..
The wonderful blessing of being able to arbitrarily leap through space within a set total distance per day..
It was possible to move a limited distance at once, or to use only as much as needed..
There is a cooldown of several minutes for continuous use, so there is a limit to how many times it can be used during battle, but there is no skill like this to use as a secret weapon..
Right now, the distance I can travel per day is only a small amount, but this is also slowly increasing through training..
In the future, we may even be able to jump over continents..
Another benefit was that my thoughts on the main weapon changed..
‘I have “boneless” and even have growth acceleration and compensation effects, so is there really a need to put limits on my weapons??’
Of course, if you focus on just one thing, it will have a greater effect..
However, it was true that if you asked Heinrich to choose just one weapon that suited him, he would tilt his head..
It's not a joke, that's really what it felt like..
「I couldn't tell if it was the influence of "Mugol" or if it was his aptitude from the beginning..
‘In that case, let's just learn everything. First, you should focus on the swords and shields that are most commonly used. If you learn this, it will all come in handy later..’
Since I had “super recovery,” it was a problem that could be easily solved by reducing sleep and leisure time..
In the meantime, I learned sword fighting from the Holy Knights of the Sky Shield and spearmanship from the Holy Knights of the Sun Wolf..
“Huh, I never thought I would learn it so quickly. I've heard a lot of rumors, but it's really true..”
“Hmm... at this rate, I don't think I'll go somewhere and die as a guest. Now you've got the basics done, so don't be too cocky..”
Whenever I had time, I visited martial arts instructors, and where I later stayed, I was able to learn all kinds of weapon techniques, including blunt techniques and sword techniques..
As a result···.
《The entity achieved enlightenment through repeated training. Acquire skill “Comprehensive Weapon Skill”.》
It's been several months since I stopped sleeping and devoted myself to training..
‘Now I think I know how to handle a weapon..’
「Apart from “Crusader combat techniques,” the understanding of the weapon itself has increased rapidly..
Now you will be able to use any weapon more skillfully and efficiently..
‘It is a general-purpose skill with high development potential. As I become stronger, we will grow together. It will be helpful to other avatars later as well..’
Right now, Heinrich is the only avatar that uses weapons, but there is no guarantee that will be the case forever..
At that time, you will be able to prove that the knowledge you gained in this best educational environment was not a light opportunity..
