Winter in the capital
"I don't know, something like that. I've never heard of it. She's sterile? Is that why you're asking me to have a baby for both of you?"
"I think so in context."
"Hilarious, bizarre. Fucking crazy bitch."
Winia tried to look at me with her arms down to see if she was angry.
"Don't put your arms down, Winia. It's not easy to touch."
"Oh, I'm sorry, nigger."
Winia, who apologizes to me, cleaves her back with her palm. Now you're perfectly my assistant. This pose is automatically maintained when I touch my chest.
"You're a nigger now, aren't you?"
"Yep."
Anyway, I undertook to touch it again.
I can't stand this heavy feeling.
He touched the casting mold and asked.
"Winia. What do you know about the situation of the Bellatud family? I heard that the sisters don't even have a son beyond infertility."
It felt like there was no man in the Bellatud family. Winia was silent for a moment on my question.
"Well... I don't know. I didn't get a chance to know because I'm out of the house anyway... It's a little suspicious, actually. Why do you insist on handing it over to the boy? It's kind of weird to have a daughter."
Doubts deepened.
When I went to the Bellatud mansion, I had definitely seen a portrait of an all-time householder in the hallway. It was a mix of men and women, but it seems that there were generally more women. About a three-to-one ratio?
All the women were pink hair. I don't think the men's hair was pink, but...
Anyway, why is there not one man in the family right now? And why you need an in-laws. Why do you ask Winia to give birth to it again?
- Detergent.
Maybe there's some sort of magical reason or consciousness?
It's not the Earth, so it might be different from the cleaning process or something. If there's some kind of magical ritual or some kind of religious thing in there, it's not unusual. The Wizard family, isn't it?
For example... whether there is a special secret or magic that must be passed on to a man of the family. It may overlap with the reason that the domestic child is not born well because of family characteristics.
Of course, this is just my idea.
However, I think I need an in-laws for a bit of magic, spells, or superstition, so it seems convincing in my own way.
"Winia. Is there anything like the secret of a clan that can only be passed on to men?"
"I don't know... Oh, but I think I've heard that there's a magic to the clan."
"Something like that?"
"I don't know the details, not the specialties, but maybe I do. Ask Risha."
"Then we should ask."
Immediately after taking his hand off Winia's chest, he un-stretched and stretched for a moment. So I went down to the basement with Winia.
"Risha. How's work going?"
I can see the back of Risha and Ari as I go down.
"Ah, have you come down?"
"Father."
"Ari was helping Risha?"
"Yes."
Risha was working with Ari standing in front of a column filled with some magical energy.
On the floor, something magical is shining. I approached with care not to step on it.
- Jiaying.
A geometric pattern was placed on a glittering pillar, and the heart of the king of spirits, which was half melted in the pillar, was locked.
- Charlotte.
The filled water was sparkling excessively. And there were several small spheres of rays around it, hovering around the heart. Like, that ray seems to be melting the heart slowly.
"That's it. Now we can say we're doing a full-scale extraction. The acceleration was due to clinical trials. It will probably be done soon."
"This will be done before the end of this winter."
Satisfactory.
"But what brings you down?"
"Oh, Risha. Do you have any kind of magic to inherit as a family or clan?"
"What do you mean?"
I briefly explained to Risha the story of Jenia and my guess.
"Hmmm... Although there is magic that comes down as a family or a clan, it is only a succession of men... I don't even know about the Maiden. There's something similar about black magic, but it's a different trajectory..."
"Don't you think? It doesn't matter."
I'm curious because it has something to do with Winia, but I can't help it. Risha told me that she would find out once the work was done.
*
Yes, winter was passing as usual.
I haven't had anything special in days. Instead, I can only talk about it, and Risha is still focused on the work. I'm Claudie and Karin. And I just focused on training with Liz.
How many days has it been?
- Taaak.
When I went to the palace, the Saint gave me a luxury.
"Settlement has finally been completed.
"Ah."
"In the meantime, the payment of compensation has been postponed and I will ask Paladin to apologize. But I've been too busy. Besides, what Paladin did was great, and it took too long to determine its value."
I smiled and dragged him towards me.
"Uh-huh, maybe it's too late. If you go through a procedure like this, of course, it means that it will have to be delayed."
In the meantime, the reward has been pushed.
The first is that Arachne's subjugation and the Gognija case have found out that the Great Demons of Pandemonium are planning an invasion.
The second is about raising the church's reputation and exposing the admirer by winning the Royal Martial Arts Competition.
The third and final one is to destroy the Superior Spirit Arquina who occupied the Grain Zone, prove the existence of the Spirit System, and find out the conspiracy of the Spirit Kings.
All three of them were enormous enough to go somewhere and talk about heroic dancing. In the meantime, it had to take some time to settle these, but the Saint treated me personally.
The reward is now settled.
I'm so excited.
"Let's open it."
"Yep!!"
Immediately, he was in a position of theft and opened his mouth with a big answer.
- Sparkle.
As expected, it was filled with silver coins and a few gold coins. And there was a piece of paper that looked like a receipt, and it was a receipt about my payment history.
Approximately 10 gold.
Oh, fuck.
I felt like my chin was going to fall into a ridiculous bitter chunk. But is this because it's been adapted a lot lately? As before, my heart didn't beat enough to show me how to use it.
Actually, I barely care about the money anymore. I buy everything I want to buy, and I can't spend my fortune.
What is this?
Gimcott Klasse.
Now, even in front of this money, I could have guessed. It's a thousand horses, right? I tried to calm down my lunatically beating heart, but it didn't work.
- Bang, bang, bang!
Fuck.
"Everything about the threat of the Great Demons has already been delivered, so let's move on. As you can see from the record, I was paid for the Great Devil case and this Superior Spirit case. That's a lot of money."
Arresting Arachne and Gognija.
And I think I got Arquina.
It was a reward for these two. Well, those two were big enough, so I think it's worth putting together about 10 gold. But if you look at what you left out of the martial arts competition, are you going to give it to me as an item, not as cash?
"It was worth it, of course."
"Thank you!!!!!"
"It's a lot of money, so it's going to take a while. I want Paladin to understand."
"Of course I understand!"
"Haha, it makes me feel better to see the Saint."
The Saint smiled and said,
"But, Saint. What happened to that ice maze?"
"Ah, you mean that."
The Saint began to explain by pulling out the cigarette.
"The Crusaders who were sent to subdue the Supreme Spirit are now all back. They testify that, after Paladin defeated them, he was still on standby, but he said there was no problem. The gate never opens again. But the Knights of the Kingdom are still residing."
The Crusaders who were waiting there returned. But the Master Knights and the other knights are still preparing.
You can't just withdraw from the yard where a few knights died right now. Perhaps the Kingdom will not send an investigation team again. It is composed mainly of wizards and scholars.
"This is a paper shared with the royal side."
The Saint took out a document.
I wanted to hand it over to me.
"I think we should come over here first. I'll explain myself."
"Yes."
I immediately dragged the chair and sat next to the Saint.
- Ugh.
She pulls the chair towards me a little closer, puts the paper in front of me and starts guiding me with her fingers.
"Here, let's start with the first line."
"Yes."
I immediately read the first paragraph.
In summary, I plan to formalize everything about the spiritual system and the existence of the spiritual king to inform the whole kingdom. And the detailed combat power of superior spirits and coping tricks were all written down.
Oh, I think I made it very clear from this. First of all, it is good that it has become a formalisation. Not everyone in the whole kingdom knows.
"Any questions?"
The Saint sitting next to me grabbed my wrist and asked.
"No, let me read more."
"Mmm, yeah. Come on, read more."
I continued to read it.
I saw something that came into my eyes. It was written that he was planning a business of capturing spirits and intermediate spirits. It was also written that they recruit wizards or scholars with information about spirits.
It's very real.
"This is very real?"
"Of course it's real, isn't it? Someone reported it. Isn't that what Paladin witnessed and reported? If you use the name of the saint and the name of the dancing paladin at the same time, this is quite simple."
As usual.
"Of course, this Saint was aware of the seriousness of the situation, and all the royal dignitaries were aware of it. Once Master Knight posted the report, the impact of Paladin was not great either."
I am satisfied with this.
My report makes me feel better that the Karga Kingdom is aware of what the Spirit King is up to.
Isn't this the taste of serving the public interest?
"So it looks like something about the ball of Paladin has flowed to the royal side as well, but I'll let you know when it comes to this. If you're lucky, you might get a prize."
"Oh, thank you."
Then Master Knight Kelvin said he would tell me about my ball. I think he did what he said.
I don't know what's gonna happen, but thank you.
But royalty.
Princess Einfel Ghainsha Karga comes to mind because she is a royal princess. Beautiful enough to be compared to Claudie. Because she was a princess, she was incredibly well cared for. Still, it's a little behind the elf's beauty.
"And this..."
At that time, the Saint arose from his place.
- Glug.
Then I grabbed a luxurious red cloth that covered something that was standing at the end of the desk and put it away.
"It's a reward for the martial arts competition."
It was like an elongated trophie-shaped bucket of water. No, a long potion bottle with very luxurious decoration... should I say? Sacred Pain? I can't think of the right words. Anyway, there was a litre of sparkling water in the Holy Water Barrel.
"Holy Badge with the highest quality holy water. It's a very precious item in the church."
"Huff."
A crystal body, surrounded by sophisticated decorations in brass. It is literally a sacrament.
- The finest.
"It was decided to give this to Paladin. You've accomplished a great deal in a row, so you should give it to me. Now, from now on, this belongs to Paladin. It's very good for the gut and health, so if you drink it, you can live quite a long time."
"Wow, are you for real? You're giving this to me?"
"There's a lot of admissions and donations, but it's kind of like giving in cash. That's why I give it to you, but I don't like it..."
"No!! No way! If you give it to me it's good for my health, I'll bow down and take it!"
- Pa!
Immediately after jumping out, I raised a big bow to the Saint. In fact, health foods that have such a direct effect on the body are more pleasant than money.
When you spend money, it disappears. Does the strengthened body go on forever? Eat what's healthy. I think my life expectancy will be considerably longer.
"Haha, everyone will love it because they are so happy."
Anyway, today's reward was a sacrament of money and this finest holy water.
You have a very decent income.
"But is there any other efficacy in holy water?"
"Not deadly to demons."
"..."
Wait a minute.
Hilde?
This... should be a little more careful.
"Well, it would be great inside. If you eat that, all the dizzy horses will be cured. Naturally, it will increase in life expectancy, or Palladin's body will become stronger and heavier."
"Very satisfied."
I woke up in my place.
"But, Paladin."
"Yes."
"I'd like to meet that woman Karin Vesta."
"Yes? Karin?"
"... yes."
The silent Saint spoke for a moment.
"He didn't help me with this either. Of course... I want to see it for the purpose of thanking you. If you have time, I want you to tell me this."
Well, then.
"For that purpose, of course."
