Link the Orc

But... Thirteen is too many to enter quietly. I was just trying to bring the two of them. Suddenly 11 more people stuck together. They're all paladins from Intelligence, so I'm sure you're familiar with this... but there are still 13 of them, aren't there? No matter how well you hide, it's going to take a few of us.

I thought, but surprisingly easy to get into Turkey. It's too different from the border I thought. When I went to the army, I worked on the fence side, and I thought of a border that stretched like that, but it was just a void.

We crossed the Turkish border without meeting anyone and drove to the city from the outskirts of the first town. The destination was a city called Batman near the border.

It looks like a three-hour drive in a heavily sunned jeep. It's closer than going to war in Seoul, but there's no traffic to explain why it took so long.

“Batman is home to a small and large oil company, one of the centers of oil black trade. The main trading target is the IS, rebels and vigilantes in each country. ”

Ah, I see. This is where you make the oil deal. In the news, ISIS is illegally trading oil to raise money for the war, and he was curious about where and how to sell it.

“You must have a lot of criminals. ”

“A decent criminal is nowhere to go. Most of the people who work here are soldiers. They're no match for firepower. ”

Yeah. Local organizations would have to, like, queek to have a handgun, so they'd have to have a couple of machine guns, but the bees are basically machine guns, and there'd be a lot of machine guns, and they'd have to shoot rockets, and there'd be hundreds and thousands of people, and... this is a scary place.

“If you rest here for a while, I'll quickly go and see if I can find any more information." ”

“Yes. Be careful. ”

Bensen dropped me off at a three-star accommodation in Turkey and went to see a Turkish field agent for information.

3 star rating is not a very good place, but reasonable facilities are okay. It's a place where rich people stay.

Bensen told me to rest, but I have to rest when I'm tired. I haven't felt tired since I hooked up with Graccar.

“Kyla.”

- You called.

At the same time as the call, Kyla reveals herself. It's always amazing. How it got inside me.

“I'll ask you again today. ”

- Okay, here we go.

I feel confident that Kaila is by my side. I closed my eyes and looked deep into my body.

Kuaaaahhhhhh.

I didn't actually hear a sound, but I felt like it. An intense energy rushing through my body. I don't feel it at all unless I'm conscious. In fact, I didn't feel the ritual or anything before I was trained by Kaila.

"Move."

The training I've been doing lately is an exercise that moves this energy. I haven't been able to move for a while, but after a month of training, I was able to move. If you hadn't convinced her that she could move next to you, she would have given up halfway. This is why teachers are so important. The confidence she planted in me certainly helped with the training.

“Ugh.”

The energy was so intense that I started stirring myself fiercely even though I only gave it a little direction.

- It's easy to think of the water bottle as the place where the energy is gathered. Open a lot of hatches, open a lot less. The Apostle must be able to control the energy spilling out.

I think I've heard that 100 times. But I can't.

“Ugh... ugh...”

All the energy gathered rushed out, and I felt like I was going to burst. Today... was more intense.

That's a good sign. It means that there is more energy to move in response to the apostle's will.

I... think I'm going to die, but a good sign... is that even the moaning of the dog... shifts his whole body like a wild horse in a frenzy.

- O'Hanel, the spirit master. I'm overwhelmed today. I think you two should help.

- Yeah, sure.

“I told you not to call me that. I'm an undertaker.”

- Then let's get started.

Kaila puts her hands on me first, O'Hanel and Vinyette raise their hands afterwards. Suddenly, I felt the weight of pressure pressuring me from all over. And the weight began to work on the energy that was rushing through the body, gradually seeking rest.

- Apostle, now. Return the Energy to its original position.

The rush of energy calmed down and the pain subsided. I concentrated my mind and gradually redirected the energy to where it was originally gathered. Gradually... gradually... the amount of energy that could move at once was very little, but it continued to move without disappointment. I've been moving for a long time, but I think I have more energy to move according to my will.

I feel good. I'm training for this flavor.

And over time, I could barely muster all the energy.

“Phew...”

I lay back, waltzing. My whole body was sweating. I've walked through that hot wasteland for decades without breaking a sweat.

- Well done.

- Thank you, sir.

“I don't know what the apostle is training for. Even though there are already five of us by his side. ”

Vinjets questionably asked. Yes. The Five Guardians are strong enough to think that every single one of them can make it to Gräkkar. If I think the five Gräkkar will always protect me, I always wonder if I have anything to do with my life.

“And the power you wield is so strong, it will take a lot of time and effort just to move properly. It doesn't just make you stronger by moving your energy. We need to learn new abilities for that energy, and it's going to take a lot of time for any of us to develop our own abilities because none of us know the art of vitel. ”

“Haha, you're right. ”

You're stabbing me where it hurts. Yeah! I've been training for almost half a year and I still can't move! I'm not talented!

“And even without this training, the apostle is strong. ”

I'm strong, though. They're all powered by Vitel.

“But I can't just stand by and do nothing. I want to do something. For my progress. ”

Spending time doing nothing but... doing nothing before meeting Vitel and spending nothing but time.

There was a time when I suddenly felt inferiority when I watched Gräkkar.

Gräkkar is talented, always striving, and accomplished with all his own strength. On the contrary, all my power comes from Vitel, and it is the power of Vitel and the other worshippers that made Vitel sacred.

I sat at the top of my class, but I was respected by people.

I have never done anything by myself with Gräkkar, who has done everything himself. I started to feel severe inferiority because I didn't want to see it, but I didn't feel inferiority because I had to see it every day.

I had five guardians, and I was pretty strong myself, but I couldn't feel proud because I was given everything. That's why we started training. I wanted to try on my own to gain a little, a little bit of strength.

So I asked Kayla. The other guardians were either strong from birth, or they had a completely different power than mine, so they thought Kayla was qualified, and I was right. Kayla has been a truly outstanding teacher to me.

- Don't worry about what the spirit master says. It's hard to start because your arms are so strong. The Apostle is talented enough. If you can wield that power at will... you will have an unimaginable power. So don't give up.

“Yes, I do. ”

I don't want to give up. I'm feeling quite fulfilled as the amount of energy I can handle increases. This sense of accomplishment is quite addictive.

“Damn bitch, I told you not to call me that, but you keep using it. You want to die, right? ”

- In front of the Apostle. Spiritmaster.

“You really want to die. ”

The two gradually raise their strength. You two really don't get along. Both of them. They just hate Kayla, and Kayla seems polite, but they don't call her by her name, and they're just taunting her over and over again.

At first, I was nervous because I thought I was going to fight, but every time I see this situation over and over again, I just want to do it now.

- Calm down, both of you. In front of the Apostle.

That's how O'Connell keeps us dry. Even if we fight like we're going to kill each other, O'Connell won't be able to stop us. Both Kaila and Vinyette have returned to me.

O'Connell comes out of his head and acts as an overall overseer and mediator of the Guardians.

Tendency and power vary depending on where the guardians are staying. O'Hanel's head feels balanced with his physical and mental strength. He's got a lot of special abilities. Guardians in arms are specialized in physical strength, Guardians in legs are specialized in mental strength.

And as you can see from Kayla and Vinyets, both the right and the left are bad. Right hand and left hand, right foot and left foot. They are bad with each other. I can't feel my hands or feet. Kayla, not just Vinyette, but Adil and him are in a lot of trouble. They've been in a real fight before, so I wouldn't call them both.

And luckily, he likes to stick it in his arm.

- Bensen's waiting outside.

“Oh, please let me in. ”

- Yes, sir.

Bensen returns to see me, but one of the Guardians must have prevented him from entering. This is a sensitive training, so if someone comes in and interrupts it, it's a problem.

Bensen and the paladin swoop in, waiting for everyone outside. Narrow down, mortals. It's a pretty big room, but no matter how big it is, it's always narrower when seven strong men come in.

The rest of the paladins must be on guard out there. I'm not gonna just take a break. I haven't seen these people take a break since they came out with me. When I ate, when I slept, when I was on the move, I always watched my back.

“Well done, my lord. Well, go get some clothes for the Pope to change. ”

Bensen has good eyes, too. He immediately noticed that the clothes were stirring in sweat. I sent a paladin to fetch some clothes. It's usually a work of the Alliance, but on this journey, the paladins listened to me.

After nearly a year in the service of the once-in-a-lifetime, what I do for myself is almost gone. If I get kicked out of the Parish later, I won't be able to eat.

“Would you like to shower first? ”

“Let's hear the story. ”

“I understand.”

The paladins remove the items from the table, and Bensen places a large map on top. It was Bartman's map. Bensen points to the center of the city.

“This is where the auction takes place. ”

“I thought you'd sneak out of town because it's an illegal auction, but it's open. ”

“This city is under their control. ”

Well, that's why people who say they're ISni rebels are running around dealing in secret.

“The auction starts at 8 pm in three days. ”

“Is that when you enter the competition? ”

“There are eleven onsite public auctions in the list of auctions received. Products in open field auctions are usually slaves. And given the rumors that they've been moved here, and that this auction is going to be a lifetime of unwatchable merchandise... it's likely to be among them. ”

“I see. Fools. I can't believe you got caught trying to kill a Vitellist and made it into an auction. ”

I did. Those scouts who came here to attack the Vitel Bridge were captured by the IS and put into slave auction before they even saw the Vitel Bridge.
