Is this a request from Foka-san?

The Adventurers Guild has contacted us to find a nomination from Saint Foca, an S-Class Adventurer who once explored the dangerous ruins found behind the Carbang mine.

"Yes, I want you to come to the Mother Earth Temple in the Holy City as soon as possible.The details of the request should be explained locally, and whether or not to accept the request should be decided at that time.A reward of 1000 gold coins is paid in advance, and 10 gold coins are paid separately as expenses for travel to the site.We're not obligated to pay you back even if you don't accept the request. "

"I'm pretty fat to have 10 gold coins to cover my expenses.It's a big reward, and this could be a pretty nasty request. "

"I see. Saying you can decline my request is a sign of trouble."

Mmm, Riella and Mina are bothering their heads.

"But I can just get 10 gold coins!If you fly with Buen using flight magic, you won't have to pay for the carriage, and you can save money for the inn! You should take it! "

That's right, Mr. Megli.

"Oh, and if you have a strong companion, please bring them with you."

"Is it okay to bring everybody along?"

"Yes, I'm not just an S-ranked adventurer, I'm nominating Mr. Lex for the party."

Doesn't that bother you?

"Yes, yes! I think I should take it!"

Mr. Megli agrees without a word or two.

"Well, I think it would be better to accept a direct request from the Virgin.And if it's about the Holy City, I think I'll be of some help. "

It was unusual for Mr. Norb to give a positive opinion.

I feel a little strange because it usually happens after everyone's opinions.

Conversely, Gyro is still silent.

"Gyro, what about you?"

"Hmm, it's a sacred capital, right?There's a lot of grandparents in the church who keep preaching or preaching, right?What do we adventurers need to do? "

Ah, Gyro-kun likes to fight hard, so he's worried about what he'll do in a tough place.

"You're free to ask and decline a request, so why don't you just ask?"

Hmm.

Still, it looks like you're not getting along, Gyro-kun is roaring.

"Stupid, you forgot something important."

"Is it important?"

And Mina, who seems to have finished discussing with Riella, returns to you in Gyro.

"Lex is involved. I'm sure you'll take care of it."

No, wait a minute.

Oh, yeah!

Oh, I see! I see, Gyro!Don't look at me like I'm convinced I slapped your hand!

"I see! You're with my brother!It's going to be a big adventure! "

"It's not decided! I'm just a normal adventurer!I'm not on such a big adventure! "

"" "" "Don't you have a big adventure...?

Why are they looking at me like that?

"Anyway, the trouble is with the church."

So Liliera returns to the conversation.

"There are two main requests from church officials."

"Two?"

"Yes, a request for a low-ranked adventurer who wants to buy a large quantity of missing medicinal herbs."It's not uncommon to be asked when a battle with a large monster herd breaks out and there's not enough potions, but there's another problem.The request from a shrine in a big city is almost certainly troublesome. "

Norb looks bitter when he hears the words.

"The big temples have a lot of people, so more priests are asking for bribes or cheating.Then you'll be asked to do some criminal tricks, or you'll be asked to clean up trouble.He thinks he's a cheap client, and he's going to scrap his reward. "

The reward is 1000 gold coins.

Ah, this was also the adventure of the Great Swordsman Rygaard, just like the story of a vicious priest who repeated evil with authority as his shield.

Stories usually end up punishing bad priests.

"But I've asked for a Foca called the Virgin, and as long as I've been on an adventure with her, I didn't look like a rewarding person."

"Then, the church alone seems to be a difficult problem to deal with.Either way, Gyro, the rough things you're looking for are more likely. "

"Oops! I knew it!That's my brother! "

Wait, why do you become me there!?

"In other words, requests are no different from what we do all the time.Great value for 1000 Gold Coins and 10 Expenses!There's nothing I can't take! "

Mr. Megli liked ten gold coins for his expenses.

Well, everyone seems to agree, so can I take it?

It's a good idea to say no!

That's why we decided to accept Mr. Foca's request.

But I didn't even think about the shards at this time because of that.



Mr. Foca asked us to come as soon as possible, so we decided to stay in the nearest town when it was dark while traveling by flight magic.

And now in the hotel room, Mr. Norb explains the sacred capital.

"Holy City, it is the headquarters of the worshippers of God.It is also said that the Holy City is the first place in the world where God came down and where the gods left the earth.For those of us who serve God, it is no exaggeration to say that we aspire to the Holy City. "

"I mean, it's like the country wants to live in the city."

"... a little different, Gyro-san."

Norb's head, which described the sacred capital, had unusual blue lines in it.

Yeah, that's rude to a boulder, Gyro-kun.

"The Holy City has a main shrine dedicated to the six main gods: the Lord God, the Mother Earth, the War God, the Commercial God, the Wisdom God, and the Night God."

Hmm, this area is the same as before and before.

"The Lord God is the leader of the gods, making decisions and making arguments."It is a god that is believed primarily by the powerful.And Mother Earth governs the fruits and healing of the earth.Farmers and pharmacists believe.Warring gods fight as their names suggest, so knights, mercenaries, and adventurers believe.Wisdom God governs wisdom and is believed by wizards and scholars.And business gods run businesses and contracts, and merchants predominate, but sometimes adventurers believe in working at their behest.Finally, the Night God is the one who governs sleep and tranquillity and protects people from evil from invisible places such as darkness and events ahead. "

"Which god does Norb believe in?"

"My family believes in God of Wisdom for generations.Because he is the god in charge of wisdom, his role is to accumulate wisdom and lend wisdom to the government of the country. "

Wisdom God faith rarely gets into politics.

It seems that leaving people to their desires alone can be a big deal, so sometimes God sends a god to stop the human runaway.

Of course, it seems that many countries are going to be in trouble without listening.

"There are so many gods."

"" "What?" "

No matter what he says, Gyro-kun's face is full of faces.

"Gyro-san, you've learned from the village priests... right?"

Is that so? I don't remember because it doesn't matter. "

"Oh, God, I'm sorry...."

Mr. Norb collapsed with his head in his arms and begun to ask God for forgiveness.

"Well, I can't help it. Rural peasants are nothing but gods.It's common for a priest in his village to only know the gods he believes in. "

Gyro is the one who defended you. [M]

That said, Riella was born in a rural village where she was drunk by a forest of beasts.

"That's right! And even if you don't know that, there's nothing wrong with it!"

Well, yes, but don't tell me that in front of the people of the Holy City who are going there. "

"Gyro-san! Never say that in front of the people of the Holy City!I'm not talking about disrespect or anything like that! "

I thought Mr. Norb started to shut up on you with another incredible sword. [M]

"Oh oh...."

Norb, who is always a grown-up, is such a swordsman that he is pushed by the gyro of the boulder.

"Yes, the Virgin Foca is a high priest who believes in Mother Earth."

"What kind of adventurer are you, a high priest?"

"In his case, he became an adventurer when he was a priest, and he was recognized as the high priest who healed many people and made them aware of the glory of God."

"I mean, a good publicist."

Mina says something sharp.

In fact, even in the previous life, there were a lot of activities to raise the authority of the church by putting church officials on the front line.

Still, I didn't complain because the people who fought on the front lines were grateful for the increased use of healing magic.

"The sacred capital of the Virgin.I didn't have permission to go, but my grandfather said it was a place lined with majestic shrines. "

Mr Norb's murmuring face was filled with yearning for the sacred capital that had not yet been seen.



This is the sacred capital.

A few days after leaving King's Landing, we continued our flight magic and finally came to the Holy Land.

……

"I don't know...."

You're flickering.

Mina told me how she felt when she thought about how to say things that weren't difficult.

“There's definitely a lot of gold and money!”

……

"Well, it's like an urban church anyway."

……

"That's vulgar."

……

It was a land lined with majestic temples.

……

Stop it, everybody!Mr. Norb is lying in the air with his face covered!

But this is the sacred capital.

Indeed, as everyone said, it was a sight that was very small or just bored with money.

Even though the times and architectural styles are different, the atmosphere doesn't change from there.

"Majesty... solemnity... sanctity..."

Yeah, now whatever you say is going to be counterproductive.

Let's keep it quiet.
