When she was about to leave, she was called out by Quatre.

"Alan, I think that if you leave from this time, you will arrive in the royal city in the evening. If you like, I'll arrange ahead and arrange accommodation etc."

"Oh, yeah. I don't know. It's going to take some time to deliver the pirates, so I was worried. Could you go ahead with the guards?"

"understood"

After discussing the situation with the Dalsims, the Satellite 8 Team and the Quatre Merchants decided to take the lead on horseback. Fortunately, there were extra horses captured from bandits, so the march was not hindered.

Although most of the injured bandits are on horse-drawn carriages, their speed cannot be increased, and at this pace it is likely to arrive at the Royal City at around 17:00.

"Alan, you see. That's the royal capital?"

As he climbed the gentle hill, Elna, sitting next to the master, pointed.

"Oh, yes. It's big because it's just a royal city."

When you zoom in and see, the whole city is surrounded by walls about 10 meters high, and you can see many large structures higher than the walls. The most prominent building in the distance is the Royal Castle. This is the first decorative structure you'll ever see on this planet. This has an atmosphere.

By the time we arrived at the gate of the royal city, the sun was setting and dark. The gate is so large that it takes ten people to open and close the door, and six garrisoners are guarding it. Indeed, we can't be surprised if we look at the number of people who might be garrisons of the Royal Capital.

"Stop. Who are you?"

"My name is Alan, the adventurer clan and the shining star. I am the escort of Captain Volker Herring."

I presented my guild certificate as usual. The garrison has a Guild Certificate in hand and is checking.

"Shining Star? A rank !? ...... Sha, Shining Star is a Dragon Slayer !?"

"Well, that's right."

"I'm sorry! Hey, call the captain!"

One of the garrisoners ran to the post. After all, rumors of Shining Stars seem to be spreading in the royal capital. Soon a good-looking man, thought to be the captain, came.

"I'm Alan, the shining star and leader. I'm escorting the party of Captain Volker Herring."

"This is this. No way, I did not think that the leader of the Dragon Slayer was such a young person. I am Ralf of the royal capital front gate garrison. Thank you."

"It's here. Actually, I was attacked by a bandit in the daytime. I've been caught and I want to hand it over ..."

"How! Attacking the Shining Star is a stupid pirate. Let's take it for granted."

When a signal is given, all the thieves tied to the rope are brought forward with them.

"That .... Are they all pirates?"

"Yes. I also have other seriously injured people on a carriage. I can't walk.

"... How many people are good at all?"

"Well, 147 people."

"One hundred and forty-seven! What is that .... I'm sorry, but please wait for a while. Hey! Call for support as soon as possible."

After all it seems to take time. By the way, the captain's servant is waiting next to me with her coat of arms. Can I be relieved?

While waiting, the cattle who came ahead came. It was said that the inn was taken safely.

After discussing the future with the captain, the captain said that he had a mansion in the royal city, and decided to return first. He says he will climb tomorrow and report to his boss. He will be called as soon as possible tomorrow, and will contact the inn as soon as the schedule is decided.

In the end, it took about an hour to finish delivering the bandits. The day has already passed, and it is now dark. After discussing bounty with the garrison commander, he passed through the gate of the royal capital.

Indeed it is a royal capital. The width of the road and the number of people are incomparable with the towns of the past. The busy downtown area is noisy, shrouded in the hustle and bustle. This atmosphere has been around since I was in the empire.

I arrived at the hotel in about 15 minutes following the guidance of Quatre. It was a bit far from the thriving downtown area, but not to the point of inconvenience, and according to Quarter, it was a densely populated area.

"This is the inn. I rented this inn, the next inn, and that inn across the road with a shining star."

"Oh, that's good, but there was a guest?"

"I was there, but I paid a nuisance fee and moved to the inn. Did you waste it?"

"No, not at all. I wanted to do it if I could, but I was able to do that well in this short time."

"Actually, there is an uncle who works as a merchant in the royal capital. I hired an employee there and arranged it."

"Hey, is that so? Once you have to greet your uncle,"

"Sure! I'll let my uncle come here."

"Good. I'm taken care of, and my uncle, Quatre, should go to say hello. Let's go tomorrow."

"…… Thank you"

I said that the inn could be anywhere if it had a bath, so it must be a luxury inn, but it doesn't seem to be the finest. Because it is a royal city, competition is fierce, or 300 guinea per night in a single room. It is just right for a long stay. When asked by Quatre, all three seem to be accommodations recommended by my uncle. After all, it is best to ask the people of the royal city.

The rooms and baths are perfect, and the food is a passing score. It is a good inn because it can cope with this number of people suddenly rushed.

I had a fight today and I felt tired of my journey, so I decided to take a break early and raised my room.

(Iris)

[Yes, captain]

(I would like to contact the stakeholders to manage the religion. Do you have any information?)

[I thought so, so I chose the person to contact]

Several images of a man of about forties were displayed on the virtual window.

[Bishop Gertner of Atlas Church]

(Well, wasn't the bishop quite high?)

[That's right. You would not normally be a bishop at this youth.]

(I don't understand religion well, but is that virtuous enough?)

[I don't know, but it is often rumored that taverns are raising gold through bribes or bribes.]

(Hey, are you okay with that kind of person or is it really different just because of rumors?)

[No, depending on the amount of the donations, they seem to be pushing for too much convenience or forcing large donations.]

(Hmm, I see. It's a person who works with money. But ...)

[However, it appears that humans very close to the bishop are respected as virtuous priests.]

(Why?)

[I spend most of my church money and money on orphans. He is a substantial owner of the orphanages scattered around the royal capital and the orphanages in nearby cities.]

(Well, that's it)

Money is dirty, but if you use the money you collect for orphans, the story will not change. Certainly, for me who is not religious, this seems more noble. Well, but if you are a religious church member, you can't use the church this way? I feel like that. Perhaps it's not just a devout follower, just using the church system. It seems to me that the purpose is to choose whatever means.

(OK, let's get in touch with this person)

I have decided. Tomorrow's schedule is a stroll through the capital city.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

At 10 o'clock in the morning, he climbed the castle and was asked to meet with the Prime Minister, Marquis Barke, and was immediately passed. Apparently it was already talked. The servant guides you to the Marquis's office. The Marquis seems to have been in a meeting with two men who are not seen. When I showed up, they quickly left the room.

Knees before the Marquis and hangs his head.

"It's Volker. It seems he returned last night."

"Yes. I took the shining star Alan safely to the royal capital."

"Yes. So what's going on?"

"Unfortunately, the negotiation with the dragon magic stone failed. Sorry."

"Hmm, the adventurer feels like it's on track. So what territory did you get?"

"Alan said he loved the Devil's Great Ocean, so he suggested that he loved the Devil's Great Ocean, and he seemed to like the idea so much that he could open up unlimited lands. That's the end of the story, and they will be able to receive both dragon fangs in exchange for unlimited conditions. "

“……… Jukai! This is a masterpiece! No way, Jukai!

If you despise that Alan doesn't have any education, you'll be scooped someday. The leader of such a strong elite cannot be a fool. Their devotion to Alan is considerable. However, if the rumors about Alan are true, that is no surprise.

What I just talked about was what Alan thought, and he strongly encouraged me to report this. Honestly, I don't know what Alan is thinking. Why do you degrade yourself?

Perhaps she's just selling me a favor, but Alan has no reason to sell her favors. No matter how much I thought, I didn't know why, but thankfully for Lina I followed the word.

"But, Volker. I didn't think you were a man you could do that much. It seemed you misunderstood.

"Thank you."

"As promised, let's flush Lina with the water. But don't think that you're now a member of my clan. It's just Lina's mate."

"Huh, I know."

"Okay, I wanted to meet that guy, Alan. I'll take him tomorrow morning. I'll have a contract under the conditions above so I'll bring the dragon fangs."

"I was afraid .... what was that story about Alan who followed the dragon?"

"Oh, I've heard, but it's not just a rumor yet."

"In my research at Gantz, a great many have witnessed dragons carrying dragons."

"Oh, but I can't trust what the commoners say. I've already sent my hand and I'll be back soon. Any other reports?"

"There is none"

"Then go down. Oh, this."

I took out the leather bag from the drawer and threw it. At this weight, there seems to be a lot of gold coins. It is an extraordinary measure for a marquis.

"Thank you very much! I'm sorry."

I left the office without rudeness.

Ah, it's finally over. Lina will surely be pleased. Yes, buy Lina's favorite lily flower and go home.

◇◇◇◇◇◇

As we decided last night, today is a stroll in the capital city. It's better to have a sense of the land because you will be staying for a while. Clelia decided to take another action because she was going shopping. First, I decided to go to meet with the uncle of Kattle with the group of merchants.

He seems to have been to the royal capital three times, and seems to have some sense of land. My uncle seems to be Tarus's five-year-old younger brother.

"This is my uncle's store."

"Well, it's a very big shop. I thought it wasn't small, but what is it up to here?"

"It's a specialty store that mainly deals with cereals. If you are limited to cereals only, the trading volume will compete for one or two in the capital city."

"Well, that's great."

Immediately after entering the store, Quattle told him the business and was immediately guided to a place like a business meeting room. Employees are aware of Quatre and are treated like relatives. A man in his forties, very similar to Mr Tarus, has entered the business meeting room.

"What's the matter, Quattle?

"This is Shining Star, leader Alan."

"Oh, this one! I'm Turner, the uncle of Quatre. Thank you."

"Alan. Nice to meet you. I took care of you yesterday."

"What a good day. Please tell me anything at any time. Quatre is also being taken care of, and for Alan who is a hunt for bandits, I will be able to do it a little."

Soon tea was served and we decided to talk. I heard the rumors of the Shining Star in the Royal City that I was worried about.

After all it seems to be very much talked about. However, when I listen to the story, it seems that the story of the gold we got is the main story rather than the story of the Shining Star. Certainly, merchants who participated in auctions can't calculate roughly how much money we got. When you go to a bar, it seems that one person is talking about this story.

After a chat for about an hour, I decided to leave the store to disturb the business.

When I told him I would go to church, the guys looked delicate and stayed in the store saying they would buy the royal capital information at the store. Apparently, the Cattle are not so devout followers.

Head to church with the guidance of Iris. Speaking of which, it is my first time to go to church. The church's chapel is open to all, and anyone can pray. First, let's see the famous goddess Luminous statue.

The church is much larger than the other buildings and stands like two towers. The walls were also decoratively decorated, giving a church-like design. It is very similar to churches found in other human worlds. Do humans instinctively feel solemn to such designs? Interesting.

The first thing you notice when you enter the chapel is the statue of the goddess. Is it very large, about eight meters? She was a beautiful woman, about 20 years old, holding her hands together to pray. There is a bird like a large eagle on his shoulder. That would be the Apostle Isaac. The drone seems to be mistaken for this bird.

While many prayers were praying sincerely, they searched for church officials. Contact me. Two women in the same black costumes are talking.

(Iris, is that a church official?)

[That's right. A female priest called Sister]

Let's talk about our business.

"I'm sorry. I'd like to meet Bishop Gertner and talk to him. Are you there?"

"Are you Bishop Gertner ..."

Both sisters looked down when they heard the bishop's name. Oops, I forgot.

"I want to donate along with the consultation."

With that said, I took out ten gold coins that I had prepared last night and showed them. It's customary in this country to put it in a small leather bag, but this is a dare. Spending 100,000 guineas just to meet you is an exorbitant amount, but if you put it all out, you will definitely meet.

"Well, wait a minute. I'll check it."

The first round seems to be fine. Sister came back after a while.

"It seems Bishop Gertner will meet you specially. Please come here."

When guided deep into the large church, Sister stopped in front of the large door, knocked and opened the door.

"There was a lay person to talk to."

"Enter"

The room was large, with large bookshelves and a luxurious reception set, but still tasteful and seemed appropriate for a high priest's room.

"I'm Alan, the leader of the adventurer clan Shining Star."

I issued a guild certificate while saying so.

"... Are you an adventurer who has defeated the dragon?"

"That's right"

Apparently, the glow of the bishop's eyes seems to have changed. Give the donation before you forget.

"Please give me this first. I recently wanted to make a donation as soon as I arrived at the royal capital."

He said that Sister had offered something like a small tray, and he put ten gold coins on it.

"God will surely reach out to his sincere attitude."

The bishop nodded a little bit to Sister when saying the clergy-like lines.

"Please call me"

The bishop prompted me to sit down on a sofa, and another sister gave me some tea. Probably the effect of donations. The bishops sat on the sofa facing each other and the sisters left the room.

"So you have any consultation?"

"That's right. In fact, I have the same dream recently."

"What, what?"

"It's the Apostle's dream"

"Oh, there are so many people. Isaac-sama often shows grace, perhaps because of our prayers. That may be the effect."

"I thought so at first, but strange things began to happen."

"What, what?"

"I have a dream that the apostle will appear, but at a later date the apostle will appear in exactly the same situation as that dream."

The appearance of the priest changes slightly. It may be because of my concern, but she looks worried. Oh, do you doubt my sanity?

"What is that?"

"Ten days ago, I had a dream that the Apostle appeared in the evening. In the dream, it was just when the sun began to set. It was. "

"... I see. Perhaps the apostle is giving you special blessing. It's good that you continue to make efforts without forgetting your religion. Now, I'm about to do it."

"I had a dream last night"

The bishop seems to have determined me to be a bad guy. I tried to cut it off, so I went on in a hurry.

"When the twelve o'clock bell ceased to ring, I had a dream that the apostle would appear."

In the distance, a bell informing of the twelve o'clock began to ring. Timing is perfect.

(D-One, unlock stealth mode)

[OK]

"So, when the apostle appears before the bell rings?"

"I think so"

Silent time continues.

"... Maybe that's the case. As I said earlier, don't forget your religion,

Sudden knocks were heard, and Sister appeared.

"Bishop! Sorry for talking! The Apostle! The Apostle has appeared for the first time in six months!"

"What ?! Really?"

The bishop has started running, so I'll follow. Outside the church was full of people looking up at the sky. Some people are kneeling and praying. Ah, I felt sorry to seem to be trampling these people's religions. But I have to build friendly relations with powerful church officials no matter what hand I use.

(D-One, increase altitude and go into stealth mode after 30 seconds)

[OK]

"How fast!" "Oh! That high!"

After a while the apostle disappeared. The bishop stops looking up at the sky and looks at me with a startling expression. I silently nodded.

"... Alan, let's go back to the room and continue talking."

"understood"

When I returned to my room, I was just asking to learn more about my dream in a completely different way, and was challenged with questions. The bishop asked a number of similar questions, such as the frequency, content, number of dreams, and whether he was the day before.

"As I said, I don't know when to dream. Sometimes I dream of tomorrow, sometimes it's five days ahead. I really don't know ... Would you please consult me again when I see it? "

"Of course! Please come at any time. I will also tell the person in charge. Ah, I received a large donation today, so donation is not necessary for a while. Luminous like to put too much burden is good I won't. "

"I see. I understand."

"Alan, please visit me whenever you have a dream."

"Yes, I will come."

At first it will look like this. Don't overdo it. He left the church while being missed by the bishop. Well, let's have lunch somewhere and return to the inn.

When I returned to the hotel, I heard Dalsim. It seems that the captain visited in the morning and was asked to send a message.

I'll be going to the castle together tomorrow, so be prepared and wait for the dragon fangs. He climbs to arrive at 10 o'clock, but he says he will come to the inn at 9 o'clock due to some talk.

Finally. What is the story?
