Life with my Little Sister

Episode 680: The Sky in Emerald Eyes (Part IX)

Priest Carson

Oh, Holy Knight Belian, are you back?

A residential area a few kilometres away from Silurian Pi Road.

There is a temporary curtain house for the church forces.

Carson, who was sitting at a simple desk and staring at the drawings, cuts a mark on the man who came in.

A young man with a tidy face - Belian instantly cut back the mark.

Both appear to be movements that I have been accustomed to doing for many years, and there is no stagnation.

The man who was talking to Carson was a church knight.

Among them, he was the top ranking figure in the rank of [Holy Knight].

To be a knight in a common country requires strength and personality, both of which are necessary.

In fact, "personality" is abandoned, and "family character" is entirely valued. However, in the case of church forces, "equality with God" is a prerequisite, so "faith" rather than "personality and family character" is valued.

Don't you have to pay attention to 'personality'? It seems that the reasoning that 'there is no wicked person who believes in the only and absolute Lord' is often applied to this question.

Knight Belian was a particularly strong-minded, rigorous and honest man among the Holy Knights.

If there was an Alto Crane Put here,

Oh, I mean, are you a fanatic?

"But I thought about it."

Even from Carson's point of view, his strength and faith seemed reliable, but he said, "Is it a little dangerous? It is also true that there are times when it is thought.

Carson is an ascendant ambitious man.

In other words, to some extent, they are sensitive to the interests of this world.

It is a person who is able to reconcile with reality without taking anything back.

Judging from that Carson, [too serious] Belian was a bit difficult to handle.

In any case, this Belian is a person of "faith" to the extent that he has slaughtered on the spot the bishop who put his hand on the meal by forgetting "prayer to God" at a certain dinner in the cathedral.

At that time, there was an opinion that "I have done too much" for his actions, but as much as that, there was also a lot of praise for "well done".

You can say that this is the religion of religion.

Because of these circumstances, when I heard that Holy Knight Belian had been chosen as a partner for the accomplishment of the mission that he had ordained this time, Priest Carson put a label "Handling Precautions" on his heart.

Now, where did the faithful holy knight go?

It was about "I went to see the bandits and the temple warriors of Sylrian Pilode."

Specifically, they sent the "first bullet" of the outlaws to the city to observe its appearance.

After all, Sirulus is definitely more likely to be hostile.

"So, how was it? How was the battle?"

It's bypassed, isn't it?

Belian says, seemingly uninterestingly.

His face seemed to be oozing with discomfort, and Carson sniffed at him, who was long enough to get along with people.

And you say that?

"The priesthood is the way it is. ― ― Some cities are the blowers of vice and vice that disobey the glory of the Lord. If so, it's important to treat it with care. I don't think it's necessary to tamper with the measures."

A sharp gaze reached the priest.

If you make a mistake in your choice of words, it is a sign that you may be slaughtered even now.

Carson replied to the young Paladin with a smile on his face.

"I and Lord Belian have different roles."

What is a role?

"Your sacraments are the punishment of evil men who defy the Lord." On the other hand, I know that it is my own way to bring the Lord's prestige to the periphery. "

…………

The Holy Knight is still staring.

The priest continues.

"What do you mean, delivering the glory of the Lord?" That is, to acquire a new servant of God. People are the wrong creatures. Even if you are now confused by evil, you may be reborn as a devout believer after hearing the gospel. As a servant of the Lord, I do not want to lose that opportunity. ”

"Hmm... you mean to give the pagans who have already gone astray a chance to make amends?" --Generous, isn't it? "

I felt a little spiky in the way of generosity.

But Carson continued to pretend to be unaware of it.

“There's another advantage to using bandits. It's a separation between the Sirulus and the rest."

The priest explains.

Silurian Peak Road is not just a religious area, it is also a city with trades.

Many people come to buy clay and pottery.

Meanwhile, the immediate goal is the destruction of Sirulus.

In other words, it is said that it is not necessary at this time to have "guests" who are not pagans living in his land.

But what if we go on with the annihilation?

Perhaps they will give birth to many witnesses, and in some cases they will be misunderstood, such as bandits and the church being a guru.

That is the equivalent of anointing mud in the name of the great Lord. It's not very acceptable.

So you're aiming to wipe out the city itself?

This is also difficult.

The more people there are, the better chance we have of escaping.

So what do we do?

That's where the heinous bandits come in.

What if the bandits are rampant and staying in the city is dangerous?

They should leave the area temporarily, evacuate, and see how they are doing.

In other words, "blank" is born.

Things can happen there.

Even if a pile of mortal bodies were found later, it was the result of a thief who had already left...

"...... hmmm"

Belian nodded faintly to Carson's words.

"We should certainly rule out even the slightest possibility of scratching the name of the Great Lord." Very well, if that is the case, then we shall follow the judgment of the High Priest. ”

“I hope you understand. ― ― So, I'll ask you again, how was the battle?

There's nothing wrong with that.

The Holy Knight had a sharp cut.

"There were some people who used it, but it's probably not much different from the adventurers who went everywhere." If so, it would be easy to slaughter the devils. ”

The purpose of the bandit's "First Bullet" is to teach the people of the city who are coming to the trade that the threat is imminent, and to make the assailant contend with the temple warrior and see its power.

The assumption is that they will be defeated, so they are a real band of bandits.

They were encouraged to attack by spreading falsehoods that [now is the aim].

The thieves weren't kicking their hands like that, so they were easily scattered.

"The bandits are evil." I don't care what happens-- "

Carson said to the Paladin who murmured that they were pathetic and unreliable.

No, those discarded pawns helped me out of hope.

Huh? What the hell is that supposed to mean?

“Yes, I've just received information from a detective who has already hid him in the city. In other words, they know where the pagans' emergency shelters are.”



"Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

"Nghh! Nghh!"

"Yes, yes, I'm coming ~"

In front of Roff, children about the same age are playing with a smile.

They run on pure white beaches, pouring water on each other, and are in full swing.

"Ahhn, everyone, let your mother in too!"

"Me, me too...!"

Two large adults joined, and the only one who seriously looked around was the high elf of the spear with a cold atmosphere like a blade.

(Why are you so cerebral...)

Rolf wonders.

Even though they are not local, they are too relieved that there is a raid just across the sea.

Will this guard's high elves be stronger than that?

(To the extent that Kane says he's stronger than himself...?)

I'm sure it's stronger than being a high elf, but isn't that family just Taiping Le?

It's the first time I've met you, but Roff doesn't think so.

Thinking vaguely, a woman named Lusica waved her hand.

"Rolf-chan, let's come over here and play together ~?"

…………

The city where I was born and raised is under attack, but I can't be in that mood.

Of course, I know it's okay.

The smoke from the city hasn't turned into a sign of great danger, and above all, Kane is strong.

You can't lose like a rat.

However, it's not the same as "I'm cerebral heavenly curious."

(I wonder if I can stay with these people...!)

Rolf, alone, got angry.

These folks don't break into the island on their own, and they don't break down.

Besides, you can talk to the great sacred beast, and you can throw up even the lies of the pastor.

There was no way I could have a good impression of it.

I didn't have it, but...

…………

Unintentionally, you stare.

The figure of the boy hugged from the left and right by the two toddlers.

"............"

I turned away unexpectedly, even though no one saw me.

For Roff, his appearance was very prickly (...).

Because I felt my gaze.

The boy turned towards us.

Roff's chest, which was supposed to be grumpy, felt a faint buzz.
