It had been a few days since I had traveled through that closed city. Speaking of which, I left without talking to Bardo, the samurai men I knew in the battle against Sandgorem.

Well, they're trying to impersonate a demonic crusade as they cross the city, so maybe we can meet again. When we meet again at that time, it's time to have a drink.

The carriage rocks me and I even go under the blue sky. This carriage is not the same as a carriage with escorts like this one before. I used the gold coins I got from crusading the sandgolems to charter them for travel only.

I might have had quite the luxury. But it's a journey you might not be able to come home. Let's go big here... I can't believe I borrowed it. Oh, of course Mine, sitting beside me with a musty face, hasn't paid for it. She wants to restore all the money she can save to her village.

Fine, they say the journey is pathetic.

I ask a middle-aged man who manipulates a carriage hired for fifteen gold coins.

"How much longer is the next city?

"Hey, that's right... you've got like three more days"

The further away from the Wang capital, the more sparse the city becomes. This means that the closer you get to Gallia, the harder it becomes for people to live in. That is heavily influenced by demons pouring in from Gallia.

The situation seems to be on the way to getting worse now that there is no Saint Knight following his duty to stop the intrusion. Until I get here, I pretty much defeated the demon, so I figure it out with my own hands.

An influx of demons is still far from Gallia. This is going to have a serious impact on the Kingdom.

With that in mind, when I visit a small village, the carriage stops with a loud noise.

"Aha, this is not going to work. Apparently... the wheel on the left is broken"

The man out of the carriage tells me with a troubled face. He said he needed about three days to do the repairs for a while. We were supposed to stay in this little village for a while.

Mine wanted me to do something, so I thought I'd get angry about getting stuck here, and I didn't. I say it's not a matter of time, and I go for a walk alone to see what's going on in the village. He's my paced guy.

I decided to look for the village chief to get permission to stay in the village for about three days.

"Nevertheless, this village is peaceful"

"Perhaps the powerful are protecting the village"

Gried tells me through his Reading Mind skills. True or no, I can't feel the same shadow in this village as the demon I defeated quite a bit until I got here. This village is as peaceful as the king's capital, even though it is supposed to be located in the other half of Gallia.

That's an anomaly in a way. I lean my neck as I look at the young children.

The people of this small village are comfortable and calm, even though the environment is not good.

After walking for a while, an old man sat on his back on a large stump. with stretched gray hair tied behind his neck.

Just fine, let's ask this guy where the village chief is. As we get closer, they talk from the other side on the other hand.

"One of the strong signs I've come to this village is you. Well, it doesn't seem hostile."

The old man laughs nicely and asks me to shake his hand.

"Noon is Aaron Barbatos. He is the head of this village. Welcome, young samurai."

Is this man at the top of the village? Whoa, I need to introduce myself, too.

"I'm called Faith Graphite. The carriage I was riding broke, so can I get permission to stay in this village while I fix it?

"Oh, you can stay as long as you want. Instead there are conditions. First of all, why don't you play one game with Non?

Aaron takes out the golden sword from under the stump. This... is the Holy Sword.

In other words, he will be the Holy Knight. And he was sensing that we had entered this village, hiding weapons and waiting.

The first Aaron said. You have to be hostile to me... If it hadn't come true to his eyes, could it have been slaughtered without question?

"No, not strong enough to fight the Holy Knight"

"Ha-ha-ha, don't lie to me. Non has appraisal skills. You're in a hell of a state for a Level 1 habit."

Seriously...... very rare with a Saint Knight with appraisal skills. With cover-up skills, the status is not false even if the skills can be hidden. For a long time, I never thought that what I feared would be seen through by the Holy Knight.

"So, what do you mean?

I start pulling out of my sheath on the Black Sword Grid. Then Aaron sticks his left hand out in front of me and says:

"I told you earlier. If you have no hostility, that's not why I want to fight death. I just want to know how strong you are, so I'm just saying why don't you try and fight lightly. What do we do?"

This old man pulled the holy sword out of his sheath, even as he got confirmation from me. Aren't you motivated?

Then we'll have to do it already. I point the blacksword greed sword tip at Aaron.

"Hmm, the setup is like a goblin, a cobolt. It's a wild structure."

"Are you complimenting me?

"No."

You have no choice. There's no master. My swordsmanship is self-styled. I didn't know this was the right plan. The point is, all you have to do is defeat the demon. That's what Aaron said to me.

"Then even if you can defeat the demons, you're going to have a hard time fighting against each other."

"Really? If you have appraisal skills, you'll see. If this status..."

"Fulfill it, I wonder"

The next moment, there was the sword tip of the Holy Sword that Aaron had on my nose. Early!

"All stats are over two million, and they do look strong. But you can't take advantage of it all. Perhaps you are not accustomed to your rapidly growing body."

"If so, what should I do?"

"Hey, as an old fool, while I'm staying in this village, Noon will give you guidance. That's the deal, isn't it?

Play... He told me that would teach me how to fight. Maybe there's a back to that tender smile. However, I was uncomfortable with the control of my body from around 2 million + stats.

This could be a chance. If an old saint teaches you how to fight, wish or fulfill it. This is going to get us ahead of ourselves in the way we fought in hands-on training with Dr. Goblin.

"Okay. For a while, thank you."

I'll lay down my black sword and bow my head to Aaron.

When he sheathed the holy sword, he came again for a handshake.

"Hmm. Nice to meet you, Faith. I always wanted to tell the young people I thought I was going to die because I was old. No, it's what brought me to the right place."

"Um... I'll tell you what, because I'm planning on staying in this village for three days"

"I don't think so. So let's get to training!

I thought you were going to pull out the Holy Sword again, and I'm going to set you up with my bare hands. I rush to take my fist, but so much so that I get skipped backwards by too much weight. This grandfather is too well.

"Well, did you take it well even though it was close to accidental strike? Well, I don't know about this."

"Become!?

Aaron comes at me in a crooked move. This is really old fashioned, short old man's move!

In the end, Aaron will teach me how to operate until dusk. If I didn't have automatic recovery skills, my body would have been full of blue bruises.

"It's easier to feel bare hands without weapons to control your status. Well, that's about it for today. Okay, Faith, I'll show you home. Follow me."

I wonder if it will be tomorrow...... I wonder if Mine will be walking tech from the other side. Seeing it, Aaron only looks surprised for a moment.

"No way......"

"What's wrong with you?

"No, it's nothing. Is she with you, too?

"That's right. It's called Mine. You look angry, so be careful. I can't get my hands on it. It's a horse."

"That's tough, hahaha"

"It's not funny."

As the two of us talked about Mine rumors, Mine sneezed as they walked this way.

And he stared at me for some reason. Yep, are you ok already......
