You hear Karim waiting outside in Yurius' ears, thinking. He was somewhat anxious because he didn't fit the cold-hearted nature.

“Is your father's treatment now complete? ”

“Now that you've completely eradicated the poison, I don't think we should worry about the poison anymore. ”

“Thank you so much! ”

Karim looks at him with a complex expression that he can't say anything about, then kneels down and squeezes his head deeply. It was the best way to show a mercenary in the desert.

Yurius pauses and looks at Yurius with a surprised look, because it was completely different from the cold look of his first encounter.

‘I thought he was cold, but he was surprisingly generous. Well, that's why you accepted my offer. ’

Yurius smiles and grabs Karim by the shoulder to lift him up.

“Don't thank me too much. I got a lot too. ”

“ ……. ”

Karim no longer spoke. I stood up and lowered my head quietly toward him. However, a strong person like him does not bother to repay the favor.

Yurius glances at Karim for a moment and opens his mouth.

“I'm tired too, so let's take a few days off to discuss the details. Don't you want the King to be well enough to tell the true story? ”

Yurius is very tired out there, but he needs to be dealt with quickly. It was already the middle of the night when Black Bay was out.

Bloop.

He starts speeding through the desert at night, hiding his movements. All he has to do is take care of it!

"After all the hard work I've put into this, let's keep the loot!" ’

His footsteps stopped at the Miracle Temple. When killing Ismail, it was a place I couldn't come because I had so much to worry about.

Tiring!

[You defeated the Archbishop of Heimdall.]

[Quest Additional information about 'Forgotten Divine Cult’ will be available.]

[Contained Items: Archbishop, Power, 13 Tribes]

[Achievements are greatly increased.]

This is the notification window that appeared when you defeated the Ismail. If we search the temple here, we can get more information.

* * *

Inside the temple, the rest of the group were talking nervously without participating in the raid.

“Still no word from the Archbishop? ”

“It can't be that all the elites have gone out and still no news.... ”

Spatula

“ ……!? ”

The neck of the person who said that rolls from his body.

“Who are you?”

‘Apparently, most of the force was used in this raid. Seeing how you feel, there's hardly any talent left. ’

What Yurius is doing now is called empty plunder!

Technically, it wasn't empty, but the results wouldn't make a difference.

Glug-ug

After disappearing like a ghost, he quickly moves his sword toward his next target. He was quite tired, but this is enough to take care of on his own.

“Rrrrgh!”

“Is the Archbishop not back yet? No way?"

In the middle of the night, the temple suddenly began to bleed.

'The Force has recovered much faster than I expected. I can see that Jeghal Unhyun has been injected with a strong spirit. ’

In fact, if Jegal Unhyun hadn't been injected with Jingi, he would have hesitated to attack Yurius immediately. However, his current condition was replenished like an undrinked spring, rather than depleting the force.

‘Is it because of the nature of the blue dragon's breath? I'll have to find out later why he's spreading his rage on me. ’

It didn't take long for him to clear out the inside of the temple. It's not that big in the first place, and there aren't many people left.

If we keep them alive and interrogate them, they won't answer, so there's no reason to put the matter in their hands.

Gaaaah!

Is this the last one? Now it's time to investigate the temple. ’

Yurius cautiously walks inside the temple, lightly dismembering his last assassin.

The first room I looked into was the one Ishmael and Jamir were talking about. There were a number of documents to indicate whether it served as an office. Yurius, who examined the contents, kicked his tongue.

“Tsk! I have to give this to Karim. He could be a great help in taking over the Desert Kingdom. ”

The paperwork was a report on the commission of the Assassins. It seems that there is only Wallace, the Imperial client, but there is evidence of a secret request made by many powerful men in the desert.

It's obvious what will happen if these secrets are revealed. Yurius is able to grab the client's collar through Karim.

The second room did not have a big clue about the Church, but it was not without income.

“Looks like they've ripped the money apart. I never thought I'd have this much wealth. ”

The second room was the vault. I smashed the locked door and looked inside, and there was a bright light, like gold and jewels.

By the way, did Mareus tell you that the North Development Fund is running low? ’

There was no amount of money needed to raise power. You can come back later through the Blue Dragon Merchants Guild.

In addition, there were quite a lot of large rooms, but there was no significant income, whether it was mostly used as a lodging or training ground.

‘Hmmm... Any clues about the quest? ’

Yurius looks slightly disappointed when he searches every room but the notification window does not ring. However, it is presumed to be a stronghold, but there are no clues at all.

Along the passageway, Yurius finally reveals the place he was looking for.

Tiring!

[I found the artifact 'The Statue of Heimdall’.]

[Destroy the statue. Achievements increase.]

‘There was something to be gained. ’

Yurius calls for joy and draws his sword again.

In the deepest part of the temple was a large cavity, and in the middle of the community was a statue of a snake that scattered interstellar energy.

Kuang!

Needless to say, the statue was shattered into pieces at once, and at that moment, numerous notification windows appeared before Yurius' eyes.

[The destruction of the last sacred artifact completely destroyed the seventh tribe of Heimdall.]

[Achievements are greatly increased.]

[Achievements exceed a certain threshold and will now show achievements. Current Achievement 30%]

[Unleash Status add-ins as your achievements increase.]

You said earthquake, right? So there are still others. ’

A sudden look at numerous notification windows, Yurius decides to sort out his thoughts step by step.

[Tip - View the Heimdall 13 tribes.]

[It's called the 13 tribes that inherited Heimdall's power. Number of tribes remaining: 6]

"Thirteen," I hear. I guess some of those tribes are gone. ’

He opens up further instructions.

[Each tribe has its own power over only the Archbishop. If the succession of this power is cut off, the sacred relics of that tribe will vanish completely from the continent.]

"This is crazy. Then there are at least six more monsters called the Archbishop..."

Yurius had no choice but to make an embarrassing face. In fact, killing Ishmael was a result of many lucky outcomes.

However, there were not one or two such groups, but there were six more. Even after clearing up one place, how can I complete a quest like this?

‘We need to increase power and attract talent. That way we can make a win. ’

Yurius realizes that he's forgotten for a moment.

By the way, you said there was a Status add-on. What in the world would that look like? ’

* * *

Time flies by. The King of the Parthians, decoded from the intangible. Saladin III finally got up in a week.

From then on, it was time for the discussion of the alliance to take place. Saladin III was quite depressed because of Zamir's work.

“I never thought my bad son would do this through Calira. ”

“It may be because the opponent is so cunning. I'm glad it went well. ”

Rather, it was good for Yurius. You put up a fight with the Parthians at Calera.

“I accept your offer of alliance. But I'm too old to take on big things like war. I'll leave that to Karim, the Second Prince. ”

Yurius' eyes sparkle. It meant delegating power to Karim.

“Karim, I can trust you. Then I will return to the Empire to report the details and discuss them. ”

There was no reason to stay as long as the goal of making an alliance with the Parthians was achieved.

“Then I'll return to the Empire as soon as I'm ready in a few days." ”

“Hmm... Too bad I left so soon. I don't think I've paid you back yet... ”

Karim and Yurius, who responded bluntly, became quite close in the past few days.

It was no wonder that Yurius had solved all of his problems over the years, and he had no choice but to like it.

But Yurius was quite overwhelmed by the look in his eyes.

‘It seems to me that breaking up is a definite characteristic, but the treatment is too different, so I wake up slightly. ’

No matter what he thought, Karim seemed really sad.

“I'm leaving soon, so I'd like to hold one last banquet for you, but I'd appreciate it if you'd join me. ”

“I'm thankful you let us have the farewell party on purpose. ”

He pretended to be happy, but Yurius was actually feeling a little uneasy. roughly because he had a hunch.

And at the banquet that evening, what he was worried about finally exploded.

“Hmph, Hmph. ”

After several times of drinking at the banquet, Karim finally clears his throat and took out his heart.

“In fact, this time, I've been generous enough to repay you for the rest of my life. ”

“Haha! You're exaggerating. ”

Alcohol usually opens the mouth of a silent person. Karim's blunt tone remains unchanged, but a cool, sweaty word pops out of Yurius' mouth.

“No. I have no choice but to applaud you in all respects, including the tactics and force that drove Zamir away this time. Would you allow me to take you as my mentor? ”

“ ……. ”

Yurius has lost his words for a moment. Mentors meant teachers among the desert tribes. But the problem was that he and Karim were over 10 years old.

"I'm a little bit reminiscent of my past life, but this is a little bit different, isn't it? ’

In fact, Karim's personality was so thick that he didn't act gently all the time. However, Yurius was able to see his insides for the following reasons:

[Al Karim]

Occupation: Prince, Advanced Warrior

Strength: A Atk: A Atk: A MP: B + Force Accuracy: B + Force: A

Tendency: Ambitious, Brave, and Tough

Current Status: Audit, Respect

By the way, the other problem is just being pushed out of the way by force. ’

Status' added ability to see your opponent's current psychology! It was not a lot to look into, but it was also a tremendous ability to look into the minds of those who observed it.

‘With this ability, moving forward will be much easier. ’

At first, I was happy with the joy of gaining new abilities, but I was troubled by these situations.

He would have thought it was a joke, but it was embarrassing to refuse because he knew Karim was serious.

“Even though I'm very young, the mentor is a little difficult.... ”

“I know it doesn't matter how old you are to learn. Please.”

Karim even tries to tighten his head again.

No, I mean, why a mentor? Brothers and sisters, man, this is how it's done! ’

Yurius has no choice but to scream from within.
