Hero without Blood or Tear

[16] Meet the Evil One (2)

“Oh, my God.”

Darkness here refers to the fundamental power of the Mages. And the realization of that darkness are the divine beings called the "forces of darkness." The Demon King and the Horsemen serve a great army of darkness and gain power from them.

It's the same as Humans giving their power to their stature. Valpur serves the Temple of Mercy and Protection, Valpurga.

Valpurgis' power is also based on the love of the goddess. In the beginning, the name Valpurgis itself was derived from the statue of Valfur.

This is the part where we find out how much she has a crush on the goddess. So, if you save Valfurgis well into the latter part of the game, you will be promoted to the highest position called "The Divine Incarnation of Valfur."

Valpurgis is not simply called the hope of the Mother Church.

Anyway, that's it. It's weird.

“I don't understand. Ser Valpurgis. This is the home of the Valfurga Sisterhood. Is the high abbot in the center going to fall into darkness? ”

In terms of how absurd this situation was, it was much easier to convince them that they had a cold in a sterile environment.

This place is full of goreps. It means that nuns like ordinary grandmothers are monsters on level 50-60. In the eyes of those who belonged to darkness, it was a real hell of a life.

And the high abbot, the high abbot, is struck by darkness?

Moreover, the Abbot of the Mother Church of Valpur is always one of the twelve most powerful members of the Empire, called "the Twelve Palaces of the Empire."

The Valfurga Sisterhood is a pure force that destroys the Horses, unlike the image of a nun. Those who received goddess power said that even middle-aged nuns who had flowerpots in the corner were picking some Orc necks in their royal years. Who knows if he used the heads of the Orcs he killed as fertilizer?

“I understand your hesitation. The high abbot has fallen into a well-prepared trap. There was a traitor on the inside. ”

The word "betrayal" came to mind immediately.

“Peshmut did the trick, did he? ”

“Maybe so. ”

Ambush and betrayal are two things, or the undead coward is number 12, Demon King Pezamut. The same thing happened to the high abbot who sent Philipp after the steel preposition.

“I know this must be upsetting for you, but Pezamut is quite resourceful. Even with Philip spinning, Valpur is working with the ducs to stop the convent. ”

“Even the Mainlander feels cool with her liver. The evil tricks of the Demon King are frightening. ”

I heard that the situation is like this. There was an object that appeared to be a sacred object of the Dark Army in the vicinity of Rhinefelden. Reporters say he was a respected elder of the Sisters Council.

“That Anasis was a traitor? ”

“Yes.”

If the sacred objects left by the Dark Army are passed over to the Horses, something big will happen. Even if I didn't, I couldn't let it contaminate the earth and kill people.

Anacis was first dispatched with the High Sisters, but then returned home after failing the mission.

“Theatre. Theatre. The nuns with him were probably killed by that Anacis. ”

“… to apply. You don't listen, and you have a pretty good idea. ”

“Well, betrayal is a word I'm familiar with. ”

Over the years, I fought countless Demon Kings. The betrayal of our allies was also experienced countless times.

I especially liked Valpurgis, because no matter how much she darkened, she would never betray me.

“You are so unusual. You're still young, and sometimes you talk like a veteran. When I talk to you, I feel like I'm talking to the elders of the congregation. ”

“Everyone has a reason. ”

“ ……. ”

Valpurgis stares at me silently for a while. What's he thinking? But soon she continued to explain.

“In Anacis' report, the High Abbot himself went out this time. He wouldn't have done that in the first place. However, Peshmut's forces are close at hand. The nearby anxiety factor had to be removed quickly. ”

“And you were ambushed? ”

“That's right. It was Pezamut's specialty. ”

This ambush was unusually not hidden by the Horsemen. The artifact itself was an ambush. It was a setup by Pezamut.

“As I tried to purify the darkness, it swallowed up the high abbot. And he was attacked by the traitor Anasis in that situation. I barely defeated him, but in the end... what he looks like now... ”

Valpurgis hisses in agonizing silence. I held her still. Then Valpurgis comes into my arms without resistance.

“It hurts... The High Abbot... It's because of the way she looks... swallowed up in the darkness... ”

Both Valpurgis' father and mother died early. Then the high abbot who cared for her would have followed her like her parents. But I don't think the Abbot of such an abbot will be able to pass it on today.

This is how the high abbot, like his parents, looks after the betrayal of the steel priesthood. I was afraid this poor Valpurgis' menthol would linger.

Moreover, she is not yet a complete sword. She is only a 16-year-old girl with a sparkle that she cannot show to others.

“It's okay. It's going to be okay. ”

I swept her back and thought.

There are some things that I don't understand. The Mother Superior is a darkness that will consume even the strongest? No matter how powerful the Darkness is, it can't be.

She is an expert in fighting the Darkness. I can't be easily defeated by the power of the ‘undeniable darkness’, the highest of the forces of darkness....

Then it is clear that the unknown force caused the problem. There's a lot of power in the dark. This is definitely the first time I've seen it. I thought it might have been done while I was doing it.

Maybe I can help, then?

I've been to the end of the world. Although there is destruction at the end of it, I have seen almost all of the mysteries and mysteries that are revealed only in the end.

If we can figure out what darkness swallowed up the high abbot, we can find a way to retaliate.

“Lord Valpurgis. ”

“Yes? Tell me. ”

Valpurgis said so, but even more he dug into my arms. Oh, my God, I can't go like this. A woman like this is hung in my arms longing for comfort and affection. I can't believe I'm seeing this.

“I'd like to see the high abbot. ”

“What?"

Valpurgis is full of surprising colors. I had to explain it well here.

“I have long accumulated knowledge of darkness. I don't know if you can believe it, but I also had a famous teacher. ”

It's not a lie. My teacher was an adult who used to live in the Guardian class called the Archbishop of the Old Testament. I learned a lot of secret knowledge from him.

“Is that true? ”

“Was I the one lying to you? We met briefly, but I don't think so. ”

Valpurgis shakes his head.

“It can't be. Balor, you are a man of honor. ”

“Thank you for seeing me. I'm not saying I'm going to do too much. Just let me take a look. Maybe the knowledge I know will help. ”

Valpurgis considers what I have to say and says he will report to the top. Maybe you want to catch straws.

“I'll talk to the Vice Prelate, Angela. ”

“Hm? Isn't the abbot's name Angela? ”

“No, the high abbot is Margareta. The Vice Prelate is Angela.”

“Ah…. ”

I knew only Angela was the high abbot of the Valfur Sisters. Then I'm sure Margaret will die today. Angela, the Deputy Prelate, took her place after she died.

In the Guardians' story, I never met Valpurgis this early, so I didn't know about past visas. I only met her in 1613 when I was playing steel pre-emptive, but I didn't know it until now because I broke up with her after the battle of Harfheim.

Valpurgis originally joined as a colleague after he was over 20 years old. Besides, she didn't know much about her past because she didn't talk much about her past.

“Whew…. ”

I sighed deeply. I felt like I knew why Valpurgis in my past memories was so emotionless and devoted everything to fighting the Demon King.

Perhaps the death of Mother Margaret, who followed her parents today, was the decisive cause. And then she lived for revenge with her emotions drained away.

Even if you've traveled for 100 years, there are many stories you don't know in this world. Even if it was his closest colleague's past.

“I will definitely save you. ”

I hold Valpurgis' hand firmly and assure him. Today's work is intertwined. Saving the heart of an angel, saving the power of the Demon King Pezamut and Valfur, and impacting the future story on the succession of the nuns.

But what matters most to me is...

It was this nun who was still growing, looking at me with wet eyes. I wanted to settle things for her today.

I have studied the Darkness numerous times to fight the Demon King. Even if Valfur is a nun, she's not as crazy as I know. So I'm sure it'll help.

“I'll be right there. Let's go talk together. ”

* * *

The elders protecting the abbot leap forward as one mercenary approaches to see the abbot. He also scolded Valpurgis for revealing the secret of the Sisterhood to outsiders.

“Sister Valpurgis. I can't do this because you're favored by the High Abbot. Why would you bring in a common man and do something so unjust? ”

I can't believe you're listening to me. With the help of Valpurgis, I was able to get to the Abbot's sanctuary. Here, however, the nuns were camped because they said they flew long.

“Once upon a time, it was against the doctrine to bring in an outsider and a man. Sister Valpurgis, however, you have done something for the Sisterhood, so if you step back now, I won't hold you responsible. ”

“I agree! ”

He says he won't punish you if you're very angry. You can see where Sassam Valpurgis occupies within the convent.

“Elders, Balor is not a man to brag. We don't have a choice, do we? Would it hurt to see him for a moment? ”

“That's what you call it! Even if you live like a king in the world, you can't do it here! Back off!”

The branching elders began to shoot at me. I'm sure they're nuns, but I think I saw some notorious swamp witches because I was afraid of their eyes. It was like a face that changed people.

“You! I don't know what lies in our little angel's mouth, but don't forget that God is watching! ”

That's why you're a nun. Ordinary people seem to be angry because of their double cravings. By the way, the elders seem to care a lot about Valpurgis.

In the meantime, I see them calling me Little Angel. Maybe she's a nun's mascot and an idol.

“It's true that I can help. What can you believe, Sister? ”

“Hmph! What's the basis for that? ”

I knew the answer that would make them mute here. It's useless to say that I learned it from an adult. I will not believe and I will strike. At this time, it was better to be surprised and give a solid answer.

I took a step forward and said,

“I saw the Chilma Temple. ”

“What?"

At that moment, all the nuns in this area were frozen solid.

I guess I'll have to.

The Temple of Chilma was written a thousand years ago by the legendary saint St. Antonio, who wrote about many kinds of darkness and wrote about how to deal with it.

It is an object that has been practiced for so long that even its existence is questionable. When asked about its secrets, only the wisest of the wise would answer fearfully, fearing that "struggling death," one of the great armies of darkness, might have stolen it and hidden it.

Even the wise man who told me his secret thought that telling it would bring destruction, he looked around and carefully told me. In fact, the sage died three days later from an unidentified seizure.

But I confirmed that I saw it.

If I did, would I really see it?

Yes. Once, I actually got the book.
