Let's Manage The Tower

The pilgrims were asked to escort them to Lüssen, in the north-east of the continent.

Of course, the pilgrimage itself goes all the way to Mixen, but it is up to the pilgrim to go all at once without a break, or to take a break between them.

Zent, the captain, took a few days off between breaks, but there were other pilgrims besides Zent.

Pilgrims who do not take a holiday will change to your squad and continue the pilgrimage.

At the end of Zent's holiday, the following pilgrims will arrive, and this time the Zent team will leave so that they can be poked by it.

There are also a few villages and towns between the northern city and Lüssen, which are basically a place to spend the night shopping for consumables and other items before passing by.

It's not a sightseeing tour, so little time is taken to stop and see everywhere.

Of course, the same goes for the examiners employed in the escort.

As he progressed through several towns and villages from the northern city, Zent talked to the examiner sitting next to him in a familiar way.

"Still, thank you for accepting my request."

Appointment returned a bitter smile to the same words of Zent, who already knew several times.

It just so happens to be the right time.

The answer of the examiner is exactly the same.

Zent is not expecting a different response from the examiner.

Zent says the same thing over and over again for a reason.

It was now very active in front of the examiners.

The streets that have circled the continent since the creation of La Zequa Mamia have become relatively safe compared to the past, but they still do not completely prevent the emergence of monsters.

Whenever I travel from town to town, I encounter monsters.

That's why caravans and pilgrims pay for escort adventurers.

Zent's pilgrims have already encountered monsters several times since they left the northern city.

At that time, the examiners hired as escorts will naturally come out... but the examiners riding in the same carriage as Zent hardly move at that time.

And now, Zent's pilgrims have made several encounters with monsters.

The opponent was Shreen, Floria, including Nana, who was riding in a self-propelled carriage in front of her.

Speaking of Kaiseki, I am not skipping the fight, but using the power of the fairies to defend the perimeter of the pilgrims.

The monsters are basically dealt with after Nana has gone wild, but Shreyne and Floria are also active.

Every time he sees the activities of these scholars, Zent spills the dialogues he mentioned earlier.

In the first place, the monsters attacked us at the same interval as usual, but the squad was hardly affected.

That is the unlikely outcome for Zent.

Of course, since Gift is hired after acknowledging that the examiners are in A rank, I can predict this result, but I still can't stop saying exclamation.

Incidentally, the priests in the pilgrimage carriage also keep an eye on Nana's activities every time a battle occurs.

Somehow, the Pilgrimage didn't suffer any particular damage this time, and we were able to survive the monster raid.

Because the monsters that are coming out aren't so strong in the first place, they are no match for the samurai.

However, the reason why Zent celebrates his mentors is not just that he can afford to win against monsters.

Still, as usual, it's time to clean up.

You encounter monsters as often as you normally do, but the time to process them is overwhelmingly fast.

That will make the pilgrims safer than anything else.

"Really?

I knew they were clearing monsters at an overwhelming speed, but Kaiseki dared to pretend not to know and tilted his neck.

"Ah, this is an exaggeration, but I think you're packing up a lot.

"It's good... isn't it?

"Of course."

If you can get through the street and enter the next town, you won't encounter that many monsters.

It doesn't seem to have much effect so far, but it's just a theory of results.

Zent, who has been captain of the Pilgrimage Corps for many years, knew that very well.

As the pilgrims progressed to some extent after handling the monsters they had defeated, Kaiseki spoke to Zen.

"By the way, can I leave the one behind?

When the examiner said that he was behind him, Gift nodded with a slightly bitter face.

"Well, this unit is a pilgrimage unit. You can have some charity."

Really?

According to Zent, the examiner nodded small.

Seeing it, Zent looked at the study aid with a strange face.

"You don't object."

Yeah, well...

That's how the examiner answers and sees Sylvia once before continuing.

"We're guards of the Pilgrimage Corps."

I see.

Zent had no choice but to smile back at the meaningful words of the examiner.

Zent-led pilgrims consist of a self-propelled carriage and two other carriages led by Schlein.

But now there are about three other carriages on board.

You don't have to think about the purpose.

The merchants who saw the strength of the examiners are trying to benefit from it.

However, these actions are called "parasites" and are not considered very good.

After all, I only hire cheap guards, which is no different from having them pay a lot of money.

If the merchants' caravans allow parasitic behavior, the rumor will spread to merchants in no time.

There are still people who continue parasitic behavior, but it will definitely be difficult to do business.

Not only the merchants, but also the adventurers hate it.

From the adventurers' point of view, it's the same as using an adventurer without paying the right amount.

The only exception to this parasitic behavior, which is hated everywhere, is parasitic to the pilgrims.

Of course, the act itself is not to be complimented, so it is not to be frowned upon.

However, as Kaosuke and Zent were talking about, the pilgrims will be a team for priests to go to Mixen.

The idea that it is natural for a carriage carrying a clergyman who is a believer in God to protect the weak also spills parasites.

Nevertheless, some adventurers escorting the pilgrims don't find it interesting because of human emotions.

I know exactly how it feels to be a gift from a former adventurer.

That's why Zent was wondering, but he was convinced by the answers of the examiner.

As far as examinations are concerned, Sylvia's presence is one of the reasons for his special attachment as a pilgrim.

More than that, I don't really think about parasitic behavior per se.

In the first place, I don't think peddlers will parasite because I'm not an adventurer.

If you admit it, the adventurers won't be able to leave, so it's just a problem.

It was with these various circumstances in mind that I checked with Gift.

Despite all this confusion, an increasing number of carriage formations continued to advance toward the next town.
