Last time I went to look for meteorites, I ran into pagans.
They were tied up with the secret traffickers' villages hidden in the mist, trafficking people's lives as if they were goods.
I don't know what to use.
It was obvious that, just as it had been until now, somewhere evil and horrible, it would change those lives.
Of course, the villagers were unilaterally slaughtered by me, and the three pagans who had found the village also completed the total annihilation.
That's a pretty good thing to think about right now.
That's fucking brilliant.
"Yes, I want to investigate the pagans in the fog plains."
It seems that Elise wanted to investigate the source of the evidence that I collected and killed the pagans at that time.
You can't just leave something like that behind if you're about to be Ellie.
"Yes."
But that would be almost impossible.
Even then the fog was overflowing, not to mention now that it was winter. It is clear that it will be twice as difficult to find. The moment you get lost, you're really fucked. It was more than sulfuric acid.
Above all, if you act with Elise, you cannot call Hildegard. That is why it is impossible to find pagans.
Oh, shit.
Since I'm still in front of Elise, the fact that I and Hildegard are building a seedling partnership has weighed heavily on my mind.
Damn it...!
Fuck you, Degart!
Of course, secrets are among friends.
"But you came alone? What about Archiona, the torture paladin and the others? If it's winter, you can come and help a few people. Material evidence is also available."
Did Elise ask you to investigate and come alone?
I also have a water bill in my own way, so if it's okay to leave like in the Temple War, it seems that Elixir is too crowded. This is never something you can do alone. It is a matter of requiring a reasonable number of people before being able to do so.
"That is also the right word. However, even after the end of the operation, it is the Supreme Court's judgement that we cannot withdraw our troops as long as the Devil's threat is clearly present."
"Oh, is that so?"
Although a full-scale winter has begun and a major search operation has ended, the threat of demons and pagans is still real. That's why we can't take out the troops.
"First, after I investigate, if significant evidence is found, I will develop a specific search and suppression plan from then on."
"Yes, I do."
Eventually, as always, I ordered Elise to investigate first.
You live really hard.
But surprisingly, Elise was a very fond type of religious person who did this. Elise, who talks, seemed that happy.
"Above all... you said you would be promoted to a middle-class nun if this was done well."
"State, intermediate nun...!"
A middle-class nun!
Elise is a talent who is currently raising her to cultivate her as a professional paladin in the Light Fame Cross. Even though I am younger than I am, I am on an elite course because I am talented enough to complete it in many ways.
Upon reaching the lower-intermediate level, you will be promoted to Paladin. That was the just path that lay at Elise's feet.
"Then it's Paladin soon!"
"It's still a long story."
Elise said he was ashamed.
"If the time comes, we will go beyond Divine Friend and become Paladin Friends!!!"
"Hahaha, I can say that. Paladin Friend... But somehow Divine Friend is more familiar."
"Uh-huh, so am I."
Naturally, the meaning of the position of Paladin varies from church to church, and even within the same religion, the distinctiveness varies according to the type.
It's not all the same paladin.
There is a commanding officer, while there is a chief of staff. This is exactly what I can explain.
I am `Paladin of the Catholic Saint`, not 'Paladin of the Bronze Society`. The two are distinct lesions. Even if Elise becomes Paladin, she is different from me.
"Then you can call it a promotion war."
This is like Elise's promotion war.
The principle was not to interfere in a friend's promotion, but it was different this time.
The fact that Elise snores in front of the Adventurer Guild means she's looking for me. That means you're asking me for help right away.
"But do you have a plan? First of all, the fog plains are not a good place to be."
Divine Friend's help is not something you can refuse if you get dizzy.
"It's really big and it's not getting a good view. It's even winter, so that people who are familiar with the area get lost. Can we find the pagans who have been hiding there for a long time?"
It is impossible to carve that vast space between us. It can only be said that a large-scale search operation is only possible.
That's where they come from... I don't know if you recognize it, but at least they'll be twice as familiar as we are, and there are plenty of corners to flee as there are secret places.
Even your native bastards aren't reliable in the first place.
Because one town was all a trafficker's. And it remained so secret that it had not been revealed for years that it was eventually annihilated by me.
"That's why I came to ask the saints for help."
"Hahaha, of course I should help you with your dizziness. But if you just walked in without any preparation, you won't get any income. Elise, if you're going, you need to make a plan before then."
"You're right."
Elise nods as she hears me.
"Indeed... I'm sure you have more appearances than ever before."
"No, of course not."
Unlike elsewhere, the fog plains need that much preparation. It's a different dimension than playing near town.
"In fact, I was having a lot of trouble with that. When I consulted with the top, I envisioned establishing a large-scale operation immediately..."
After listening to the explanation, Elise decided that she wasn't going to do it alone at first, and asked for a large operation.
However, it was withheld, and the relationship that commanded Elise to investigate led to the conduct of an investigation of him alone before the end of the winter.
"I'm used to doing my job alone, but I'm not sure how to do it this time."
"Oh, my God. That's it."
If it were Elise's nature, he would have tried to do anything, so he would not have refused the order. So you thought about it and you found me.
"If you don't think so, keep an eye on the trend or say it's impossible at the moment... no. I can't do that. It's you, Elise."
Elise nods.
"I can't give up. Such evil pagans do related things..."
"I can't leave it."
"... yes."
Damn it, if Elise tries this hard, you have to give her one of the holy warriors, right?
No matter how strong you raise Elise, it is Gao Bada who gives you things you can't do on your own.
No, are you deliberately asking for help from the other side, or are you trying to build that capacity?
I don't know who is trying to cultivate Elise as Paladin, but it's too harsh.
"Hm... I'm thinking about how I can help. Elise. Do you have a set schedule? How much time can I spend?"
"For now, the goal is to get back to work as soon as possible, but we haven't made any specific time plans."
"Really?"
How can I help you with this?
Shall we talk to Saint Cadia?
Oh, I didn't tell Saint about the fog plains when I thought about it. Once we talk, we'll be interested... This is a tricky problem.
"That's a really vague problem. Elise. Just because you and I are going through the fog plains hard doesn't mean we can find what we want."
"... I'm judging that, too. But there was only one person who could ask for help. Please share your strength and wisdom."
Elise was always sending the eyes of faith and trust.
"Well, first of all, I'm a quasi-religious. Let me talk to Saint Cadia. If you're lucky, you might be able to help."
"Thank you so much, Saint!"
Elise, who smiled widely, thanked him.
I think I should talk to Saint Cadia about this. If that's not the case, there's no way.
Anyway, me and Elise continued the meal and talked about this. There are demons out there. Most of them say they've captured pagans.
I gave you a specific explanation for what I did.
"By the way, Saint. I received a rumor that the Istanbul Bronze Astronomical Society killed a great demon called Andromalius, but do you know it?"
So I'm asking you very naively.
"Andromalius?"
"Yes. He said it was a demon powerful enough to be recorded in the demon dictionary of our church. I heard that you defeated an incompletely reared demon from the Bronze Society."
I got it halfway.
"Uh, right. Me and the other Crusaders went and got him."
"What, what? What did you say!"
"That's what I reported."
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Elise was alarmed again.
I gladly informed Elise of the situation. Throughout the hearing, Elise acted with her eyes wide open or fist tight.
Elise was a good friend when she met him.
That's how I came out after dinner.
"Well, Elise. Even if I become a paladin and go to the capital, rest assured that we are connected by a string called Divine Friend. I'm going to have a lot of work to do here."
"That's..."
Honestly, I was fucking sorry. Well, I don't see much of it, but if I go to the capital, the frequency will be even less.
"The Saint is going to the capital... Of course, it is a pleasure to be a paladin and fight evil in full. At the same time, congratulations on taking such a good position."
Elise also became a sad face.
Neither do I.
"Still, it's too bad... I don't know how to express this. But again, it would be the right thing to do. I trust that the Saint will do well. Work hard for the next day."
I have a smile on my sad face.
This was Elise's honest heart.
I think tears will flow.
"Uh-huh... Ugh. It's not like I don't see anything. Thank you, Elise. I'm gonna work really hard. Oh, but by the time you get to Paladin, you'll be able to get in touch with the other churches."
It might not be a good thing to write to the other side of the church, though. No matter how separate religions become, the fundamental purpose is shared.
Of course, there will be such a means of contact.
"... I guess so."
"So don't worry. Then, Elise. I have some work to do, so let's break up here today. You're going to stay where you usually stay, right?"
"Yes, I intend to."
"Let me talk to Saint Cadia once. If you do anything to help me, I'll be right there. I'm waiting."
After that, Illisie, who smiled widely again, greeted him with a strong greeting.
"Thank you so much, Saint! Then I will keep you waiting for the saint!"
"Yes, yes. I'll be right there. You've come a long way, so take a break."
Elise, who waved her hand, disappeared to the other side, and I immediately headed home.
* * *
"Is the nun here?"
"Uh, when you went to the fog plains, there were pagans, right? He came to investigate that, and he asked me to help him."
Once I returned home, I informed my wives of the situation. Winia looked at me with a jaw as if she was going out.
"Hmm, fog plains... are you okay there? Wouldn't it be hard because it's winter?"
"I think so, too. So I'm going to talk to Saint Cardia. I might be able to help."
"If the nigger says he has paganism, we should help him... So you want to help the nigger nun?"
"I don't want to help. I'm the silver man who helped me in my hardest time."
Winia looked me in the eye.
"Well, then we should help. I don't even see her once or twice."
"Hmph, thank you. But Claudie?"
"Karin and I went out for a while to get dressed."
"Clothes? Ah."
I left Sasquatch's fur leather in my closet the other day. I think I went to get it. I was gonna go out and get it myself.
