Gate of Amitilicia Online

Episode 154: Temple 2

Guided to a room facing the inner courtyard. Are you painting the lacquer? The walls are white. The conditioning consists of a wooden desk and a cabinet in a chair. And then the long table where the sheets were laid, is that a checkpoint? It smells like medicinal herbs, and it's like a hospital.

"Jaeger Archpriest. Besides... Lord Fist?

The goddess, who was in the room, looked at me and reacted. Hmm... Ah, the one you saw during the Dorad defense. Sure, I should have been in a place to treat Michelle, maybe.

"Oh, were you that Lord Fist?"

The High Priest Jaeger looks back at the words of the Goddess and bows his head.

"During the Einfast defense, we started Master Alphonse, the knights. We thank you for saving the inhabitants of the city during the Dorad defense."

"They both just happened to be together. Besides, I'm not the only one who participated in the defense."

"I know that. But Lord Fist protected those who dwelt there, not in the city of Dorad. We have heard that you have prioritized and eliminated demons targeting the inhabitants."

Ah, that's fair. Because I knew it would be the same when Einfast, and I wouldn't have enough hands over there. Although I didn't struggle as hard as I did when I was in Einfast because of the quality of the Demon Nation and the resident's ability to arm.

"You committed yourself to the crisis and challenges of Dread as a result, such as the case of the Teleman Chamber of Commerce and the case of pirates. Lord Fist may even have sent him to Dorad."

In an upbeat mood, Archpriest Jaeger spins words. I don't know, it's like a siege net is going to be laid from another person... although I do have a stronger relationship with Dread than with other cities, and given the geography and distribution, I think I can build a base in Dread.

"Well, let's get down to business"

I was recommended a chair, so I sit down and take off my cape. I found the goddess breathtaking when her arm was exposed without a tip from her elbow. Because Nix has already seen it, or there's no sign of it. I don't know what you look like because you're behind it.

"That's like a thousand cuts eaten by a beast. To the point of causing this wound to Lord Fist around here... is it the first bear?

"No, it's octopus. He attacked me when I was diving. I'm going to keep the information up later through my hunting guild because it doesn't seem to be a species living off this coast"

"Is it octopus? I hear fishermen get hurt occasionally...... right, you should spread the word. That one, please. Okay, I'm talking about your arm."

Jaeger High Priest corrects his residence and says:

"Playback is possible. However, treatment in the temple is not a charity."

It's a GAO world with a lot of dangers close to you, but doctors exist and potions are some convenient medicines. On top of that, if the temple had treated anything for free, they wouldn't be able to catch up that those businesses just wouldn't make it, or that they spent their whole lives doing just that. It's natural to pay the price.

"How much?

"For this time only, with 200,000 pedia"

The amount that Archpriest Jaeger told me would be cheap in a world where there is no insurance, but also given that the lost arm will be undone, such as two million yen if it is translated into reality into a large mess. Besides, "only this time" should be more expensive.

"Then this way. 300,000 pedia, let me stop at the temple"

A small leather bag prepared in advance was removed from [space storage]. There are thirty pieces of white gold inside. The cost of treatment is 200,000 pedia, but let's get the difference straight.

When I put the leather bag on the basin offered by the goddess, I bow my head with respect and leave the room. I didn't do anything to check the contents.

"Then Lord Fist to your bunk."

Encouraged, I fall asleep straight to the bunk. The cloak was received by Nix.

A little while later, the goddess brought back a bunch of other male priests. When they look at me and bow their heads, the male clerics open the drawer of the cupboard and take out several belts. Belt? Wow, I have a really bad feeling about this, huh?

"Jaeger High Priest"

"Something?

"Hit me, does it hurt?

"Sounds like it. I don't have any experience with defects myself, so I don't know."

The male clerics use their belts and bind my body to the bunk. Disappointingly secured to the bedroom, and the male clerics surround me and wait. This is supposed to be a painful, rampant placement, right?

"Uh. One favor. If you have something to chew on."

"Go ahead."

He looked worried and Nix brought the handkerchief-like cloth in his hand to his mouth. Thank you for letting me use it.

"May I?

Reply by nodding to the Jaeger High Priest who has confirmed. Come on, let's get ready. It's okay, players have pain relief measures. It can't be that bad, it should, maybe, I'm sure...

Voices leak out of the mouth of the High Priest Jaeger. Spinned in a common language, it's a word of appeal to the gods.

His hand was caught on the amputated surface of his right arm, and it began to shed light in white. It is a warm and gentle light, similar to the magical light of the Holy Class.

but after a few moments there was a change in my right arm. The cutting surface gives rise to heat and gradual pain. Fever and pain begin to increase, hot, painful, hot, painful, and that's all that runs through my head. Looking at his arms as he endured it, he was stretching, albeit slightly, but surely. Twitching and growing arms at a slower rate than snail walking is a strange sight.

But it's not as painful as I thought. It's pretty good compared to when [pain relief disabled] and [pain acumen] came out at the same time in Einfast defense. That was just too unusual, and the fact that it still hurts still hurts, but I can't stand it. That made me feel just a little easier. Pain relief measures, great painful painful hot painful.

The male clerics are not breaking their nervous expressions and are up to be seized whenever they break out. Jaeger Archpriest was impressed or even had a laugh. Nix is closing his eyes hard, holding my cape and squeezing his hands in front of his chest.

Painful doesn't make a difference, but time has passed in the midst of even being able to afford to see what's going on around me.

"Done"

The High Priest Jaeger told him. The lost arm plays exactly to the point of one finger. There are white marks on the cut surface, but it's trivial.

"Thank you"

They untie me, so I take the handkerchief and go down from the bunk, and thank you. Move your fingers slowly and wave your right arm as you make fists and knives, but there is no discomfort in moving them. Now you can consider it a complete resurrection.

"No, I didn't know it wouldn't storm at all. That's great."

Jaeger Archpriest is nodding over and over with Nico laughing. Because of the specification of pain relief measures, it's not like I'm amazing. Well, maybe he was used to pain.

The clerics have a horrible look. No, it really seemed like a lie to me how nervous I was until just now. Hey, you were scared of what I'd do if I got busted... No, no, no, no...

"Just don't be impotent because you can fix it. Because it's best not to be like this."

"Yeah. I'll refine it so it doesn't happen the same way"

I've stabbed the nail, so I nod honestly. I want to avoid paying a lot of money and feeling painful over and over. Mm, speaking of which.

"By the way, do any other Gentiles come to treat site defects?

"There seemed to be some, but I hear they're just people who ask for the amount and turn back"

Return to my question the answer that Archpriest Jaeger could have expected. It would be absolutely easier to return to death than to give more than 200,000 pedia. Well, people are people, I'm me.

"Well, thank you for your help"

"Not much to worry about, is it?

Jaeger Archpriest moved his gaze meaningfully, but without following it, he nods vaguely. Well, and. So, come on in and go next.

Wrap around the cloak you received from Nix and, again, turn your foot behind the temple.

"Oh, handkerchief, thank you. I'll buy you a new one later."

Keep a no on Nix. In the end, it was partly torn by a strong, long bite.

"No, not that far... and I'll fix it."

But Nix says that.

"Hey, was that your favorite?

"Yes, no, that's not what I meant. Cloth products are expensive when it comes to GAO, and sewing is rare in real life, but I fix clothes within GAO, so I thought it would be a good practice."

Is that what you mean? I don't care about the slightest glitch, and if it breaks flashy, I'll replace it and use the original as a borough cloth. Don't you think you can fix it with Nix... No, I'm just asking you to fix my clothes or something.

"That's fine then. I'll just wash it and then I'll give it back. And I knew I'd let you buy another handkerchief. Thank you."

Unlike in Syria, the update started spitting. You can't just give it back with all the saliva.

"You know a good store somewhere?

"There, I expect Mr. Fist's taste"

"It's very difficult."

I arrived within talking about that. There is no other appearance of people. I feel like I got it from renting out.

Keep going back and stop in front of Kauvan. Close your eyes and pray hand in hand that has just healed. Thank you for healing my arm. Hmm, does that mean the power of Kauvan? Or of the other gods?

It was not an appeal to a particular God to recall the words of the High Priest Jaeger. In TRPG, we sometimes choose a pillar among multiple gods to believe in, but in GAO it doesn't seem to serve only certain gods.

So, gods other than the Creator. First toward Kauvan, on his right hand, stands the statue of the man god. He looks like he's in his thirties, and he's a tough guy. When I look at the pedestal, it is with the sun god Shamros. And face-to-face,

"Hmm?"

I wasn't there. There is a pedestal. But there is no statue on it.

"Are you putting it out for repair?

Nix also felt uncomfortable, tilting his neck as he looked at the pedestal. The reality is that it is not uncommon to temporarily raise a Buddha statue for the restoration of cultural property in a temple or something.

"It doesn't even seem like that."

Then the name should be engraved on the pedestal like Shamross, but nothing is written. No, if you look closely, it's uncomfortable on the surface of the pedestal. When I observed what it was, I could see why. Only the front part of the pedestal is newer than the rest. Did you cover it from above with a large stone slab of the same material? Why are you doing this?

As I wonder, I look at the other gods as I head to the entrance.

In front of Shamross is a well-widened man god with a soft face. Alzafos, the god of the earth, which I have seen several times elsewhere.

Opposite it, a goddess with a spear and wrapped in thin clothes. Marlo, the god of water, seen in the village of Sea Elf.

A musculoskeletal male god with a hammer about his height in front of Alzafos. Flaming god Shoraga.

Across the street is a statue of a girl with a fun look on her face. Wind god tacross.

You mean God, who directs the groundwater fire wind? Is the pedestal lower than Shamross representative of the sequence? The pedestals of the rest of the gods seem to be lower than those of these gods.

In front of Shoraga is a male god with hair reminiscent of a lion. Valmoré, the god of martial arts, wrapped in armor and with swords and shields.

Across the street is a goddess in a robe with a hood in her eyes. Lucky god Kadarmira.

"Neither here."

In front of Kadarmira, there are no idols only on the pedestal. Nothing is still written on the pedestal.

Opposite that pedestal is a male god who wraps a robe and carries an open book. Marefia, the god of wisdom.

In front of Marefia, a man god reminiscent of a dwarf, with a short, splendid mustache. Heragati, the god of technology.

Across the street is the goddess who made her hair stand like a Mohican. Performing arts god Raketis.

That's all the statues we have here. If you look at all this, it looks like an arrangement with a male goddess on the right and a goddess on the left towards Kauvan, but then a two-pillar goddess will be missing.

One pillar makes sense. Face-to-face with Shamross, maybe there was a moon or a god at night. I'm not sure across the street from Marefia. Is it the god of commerce or the god of medicine that comes to mind with something that isn't here?

"What does that mean?

"Like some Egyptian pharaohs, maybe they erased their existence"

If you ask a temple official, he might be able to tell you, but it could be a delicate story. If the statue of the god that should have been removed by the will of the temple, it wouldn't be a good story.

Wasn't he also a god who disobeyed the camp of good, because conflict between the good gods and the evil gods is a classic in fantasy?

However, if it really is, one question arises. That's not how it used to be told in mythology. Having a pedestal would mean that he was ordinarily worshipped until he rebelled.

Well, no more, I can't help thinking about it here. Check out the myth if you get a chance.

Head down inside in front of the entrance and exit the temple.

"Well, then my errands are over. Shall I take Nix around?"

"What!?

Saying as he walked outside, Nix raised his voice as he was heartily surprised.

"You don't particularly have a place you want to go, do you? Then I'll show you around. Unless it's annoying."

"Oh, my God, that's annoying."

Watching the wolf nix is totally back on track, but it's okay. It doesn't change what I was worried about. Though I don't seem to be able to afford it a bit more than before.

"Hmm, what?

Noisy forward. Specifically outside the temple grounds. Try to speed up your legs and see what happened, there are armed clerics there.

And there was Quinn before them in confusion. At its feet the charge rabbit is rolling.

When he stepped forward with a no to the clerics, Quinn put the charge rabbit on the ground, walking to the front of Nix and putting it on the ground.

"Um, Mr. Quinn?

And he lays down on the spot and sees Nix at the top. Oh, you mean that.

"I'm sorry about earlier."

Huh? and show Nix turning this way, shrugging his shoulders.

"It was about the harbor earlier. It means an apology for making Nix cry."

"Make me cry... it's not Mr. Quinn's fault..."

"If this guy hadn't pulled the cape, it wouldn't have happened. Not bad, it doesn't mean. Sounds like you're reflecting, and take it."

I'll make it clear to you. But Quinn's not here.

I can tell for myself that my mouth is loose. Quinn's eyes, looking up at me like that, moved to my right arm. I'll wave to show you it's healed properly.

"Whoa!?

Shortly thereafter, he was toothed to his right arm, which had just healed.
