Border Guardian Hal Akircius

Chapter 2: Old Stories El Laicia Edition

"There's been a lot..."

Hal snorts deeply at what Altrius said.

'Hmm? You see a little respect for your predecessor, I wonder if it's a good idea.

Altrius lifts his jaw when he realizes Hal has begun to use his salutation.

"Yeah, you built a city from nothing to this point, and I'll show you some respect.

"Ha-ha-ha, as a prosperous predecessor, will there be so much praise to come!

Artrius, who is well cared for, is happy with his hands on his hips.

As Hal was grinning bitterly at the look of it, Ellesia slowly opened her mouth.

"Then I'm next, right?

Erlacia is a cleric of the Sun God whom the people of Cliffonam believe.

"The people of Cliffonam have various gods, but whatever they say, the Sun God, who brings the most grace, is raised up as the Lord God.

Even in the Empire, by the way, the Sun God is the Lord God, but he becomes a God with an aggressive character that symbolizes victory and domination, whereas the Sun God of Cliffonam is a serene character that symbolizes charity and grace.

After ten years of training in patrolling the earth, the priest of the Sun God holds a temple as a priest in some village or city, providing backward guidance while performing the sacrifices of the Sun God and other gods.

There is never a large number of Sun god clerics, and the earth's patrol begins after a boy and girl who crooked through aptitude screening has been trained to go on a cultivation and journey for some time under certain senior clerics.

In addition, because the Sun God is a female deity, priests often choose girls.

By the way, the priest's marriage has not been denied, and it is not uncommon for a child of a solar priest to train as a cleric apprentice.

"My master is Master Alshalea, and he will hit my aunt, but General Altrius will be familiar with you, won't he?

"Oops, Alshalea, which one of you has taken care of, are you magnificent?

"Yes, thanks to you, I have never been called a traitor at the mercy of General Altrius, and now I live in a Freed settlement.

As Artrius said, Alshalea, Ellesia's aunt, served as a priest of the Temple of the Sun set up by Artrius in Harmonium after he had completed his cruise of the earth.

During the great rebellion of the Cliffonhams, they are sent out of the city by Altrius and sent under King Alford, the enemy, as are the other inhabitants.

'Above all, it looks like Alford's guys kept their promises... oh, excuse me, let's hear that story again, keep talking.

In response to Ellesia's question, Altrius answered with nostalgia, but remembered that Ellesia's story was on the way and urged her to continue the conversation immediately.

"Yes, I was trained by my aunt as a child because of my fitness as a cleric, when I was twelve just ten years old when I went on a tour of the earth.

He went around the villages and stretched his legs to the land of the Halemians living in the north and the Orans in the west, to the land of the Empire, the East Light, the Siluha and, at the end, the Fen inhabitants of the nomadic horseback riding nation, to see the various things.

"Everyone didn't seem to go too far, but I was amused by the horns.

Erlacia speaking with a smile.

Most clerics have done their earth patrols only in areas inhabited by the relatively safe Cliffonams, even to places inhabited by Orans who believe in the same religion even if they have stretched their legs.

Given that, the journey of El Laicia is magnificent, and many who have extended their patrols to so distant and unknown lands do not exist.

What I saw in it was all sorts of unhappiness and happiness.

Where there was a war, villages devastated by raids from other tribes, towns devastated by the plague, prosperous cities and fortifications, and poor but peaceful towns, were sometimes in ruins when they visited for the second time

"Still, people live hard.

A land inhabited by various exotic customs and naturally cultures, lifestyles, superstitions, beliefs, rituals, food and, once again, the people of Cliffonam who know.

"Unfortunately, we couldn't even get to the group islands in Hull's hometown.

Still, even though it has taken ten years, it has circled most of the western part of the continent.

"Naturally, you've been in danger, haven't you?

"... why there.

For some reason Hal tried to say something to Erlacia staring at Hal with a question mark, but gave up along the way.

'Looks like the shrine wanted you to worry.

Whispered by Altrius, Hal nods silently, but Elleysia seems a little lonely who could not speak up.

"Ugh... fine, but anyway, I was also in danger.

There is no such thing as attacking a solar cleric in the land of Cliffonam or Oran, but it does not work in any other land, empire or eastern photography, slave traders coming from Siluha, bandit night thieves, etc.

Many of the children chosen as clerics are attractive, and naturally some will be plundered and enslaved along the way, and others will lose their lives when attacked by night thieves and bandits.

Erlacia was also attacked by such people several times, but she cut through them with caning and clerical sorcery.

"Fortunately, I was able to serve ten years safely, and I was looking for a place to set up a temple...

Along the way, the Imperial bandits caught him in the wilderness.

"I thought it was destiny, I can't say I lived enough, but I felt sorry for myself for being stuck with this despite the fact that I had never been able to spend much time before, and at the same time, I thought this was also a eulogy of the Sun God... but it seemed destiny was something else.

And Ellesia turned her hot eyes to Hull.

"It just so happened, I explained that much..."

Hal stares too hot, trying to pull himself back and spill.

Erlacia, the Cliffonam sun cleric, rescued by Hull with her luggage, chose to travel with this strange border guardian.

"... but, O Haruyoshi, I wonder what the clergy has accepted if he has not received the knot?

Altrius says by showing an elongated yellow cloth tied to Hull's waist.

"... yuif?"

"... it would be better if you spoke to the shrine than I spoke..."

After an unfortunate stare at Hal, who obviously didn't know, Altrius turned his attention to El Laicia.

El Laicia is turned from Altrius and begins her explanation with joy and courage.

"Yes, the stamp is a cloth stamp to be given from the side who applied for marriage, so... Ah? What do you do ~!"

"I'm not kidding! I didn't know, so this isn't working!

He groans sadly when he sees Hal trying to remove his knot, and Ellesia rushes over to stop Hal's hand.

Hal tries to unravel the knot, even as he leans on the softness of Erlacia's hand in trying to stop himself, but the knot is something that the Sun God acknowledges and the cleric attaches to in case.

There's no way it can come off that easily.

I try desperately to remove it, but the knots are tightly attached and I can't get them to unwind.

"... stop it, it's the same as an imperial ring exchange, you can't remove it without God's approval, and... the knot is there because the Lord was willing to accept it when he received it.

Hal stops moving perfectly to Altrius' words.

Ellesia smiles happily to see how it is and confirms Hal's hip knot again.

Altrius puts his arms together and gives people a bad grin and looks at Hull.

"After all, I haven't solved it at all, Hal said about me..."

Occasionally, Hal's face stains red.

It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel that way at all.

Erlacia is definitely a brilliant woman.

Even though I can't say I'm flattered young because I'm a little old, I often see long blonde hair on a smooth length, and beautiful green eyes that remind me of new greenery.

My breasts are not too big or too small... I have chosen the Lord a land that is never difficult to say that security and law are in place, and I have been travelling for ten years and it is well done so far.

Though full of traveling dust, its glowing beauty overwhelmed Hal even in the first meeting.

The courtesy when I liberated him was also a sweet and polite thing, and the fact that he worried about Hal's body more than his own, and then exhausted himself on various journeys, is new to his memory.

Hal was heartily pleased that he had a beautiful road to take, showing a slight fondness at first.

Just for a moment, it's also true that when I got married, I felt such a floating feeling that such a daughter-in-law would be good or like a newlywed.

Most importantly, after a while of the journey, I tried to distance myself a little because it opened up to the obvious way of approaching it, but the first good impression does not disappear so easily.

"Hmm, I saw you as a pulse ant, Cleric. Which one?

Altrius saw how it felt.

"Is that true? Hal, I'm glad!

Unobstructed by Elleysia, who stuck his soft body even more closely to Altrius' words, Hal stiffens himself to the warmth and softness of human skin he hasn't felt in a long time.

At last Altrius laughed when he saw Hal harden himself further to Ellesia as he rubbed his cheeks against the rind and chest.

'Wow, looks like you need to educate your predecessor about that path too! Let's talk a lot later!!

"... Ugh, loud."
