Lesson 160: Lower Vampires and Materials

"Oh, Mr. Lent. What can I do for you today?

That's what I said, the Latour Gatekeeper.

Haven't you heard his name?

You must have even asked Laura or Isaac my name.

"I came to talk to you about a little request. Can you get Isaac for me?

"Yes...... that, Mr. Lent, you've been fluent in speaking a lot?

While he nodded, the man who took something like a demon prop out of his nose and started manipulating it, noticed and said so.

I snorted,

"Oh. I couldn't talk well with my injury, but it's healing. Now you're right."

That's what I said.

The man said to it,

"Ha ha, did you even know a good healer? Anyway, good for you... Master Isaac says he'll be here any minute. One moment please."

He saw the magic trick and said that to me when he found out.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

Isaac showed up with a hedge covering the Latour family entrance.

It is a strange sight to see whenever the plants that have been there start to move themselves out with retraction and shape things like gates.

If you start saying that, you might be talking about the shrub spirit (Shrubs Ent) being nothing but a chunk of wonder, because that's a demon...

Sometimes demons seem as futile as they think, as they are far from the ecology of the common flora and fauna.

Still, I'm certain that some kind of legality or principle exists, so scholars like Lorraine are studying it.

The benefit is definitely reflected in us adventurers and so on, and we are very grateful.

"Welcome, Mr. Lent... I'm not delivering" Dragon Blood Flowers "today, so I need to talk to you about something...?

Isaac, with the same silver hair and thin pigmented skin as he had seen me before, asks me that.

I...

"Oh. Actually, I needed to go away for a bit. I just have a request, so I need to talk to you about it..."

"I see. Then it would be better if you spoke directly with your husband. This way please…"

Isaac says so and starts walking ahead.

When I lost him, I rushed after him because he was definitely lost in the garden.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Mr. Lent, we need to talk to you about a request...?

I was put through to the reception room of the LaTour family, and that's where Laura asked me.

Laura's dress today was white, unlike anything I've seen before, but the luxury of frills hasn't changed.

I guess I have a bunch of these things...... and feel the Latour family's finances again, I say.

"Oh. Actually, I can do where I have to go. It's just a little far. Specifically, it's going to take around two weeks..."

"I see. So you're saying you want to cancel the request? But if that's the case, in the form of an interruption, if you come back to Malt and do the same again, it's fine."

Laura's answer was a little, unexpected.

I didn't think about it at all, but in this case, it's common to stop the request and look for other adventurers to make the request.

And yet, don't do that. After I came back to Malt, I was grateful that you were still going to leave it to me.

You understand how I feel about that, Laura,

"Of course, there are feelings of trust in Mr. Lent, because there are no adventurers or other adventurers who go there on a regular basis even if they decide to go only once a week to The Marsh of Talasks in the first place. In addition to that, even fewer will collect Dragon Blood Flowers. So anyway, I have no choice but to ask Mr. Lent."

say.

Originally, I'm pretty sure you asked me to because that's what I was talking about.

However, if you ask the gold class, you can never do it, not so much.

Still picking on me was still a thankful story.

"If you say so, I'd appreciate it. I'll be sure to contact you when I get back.... By the way, it might be an extra favor, but while I'm gone...?

"In the meantime, as before, we will leave it to Isaac. So I'd appreciate it if you'd come back as soon as you could. Of course, you don't have to do that because you can't... Speaking of which, where are you going? No, if you say you don't want to talk, you don't have to force me to..."

As I realized, that's what Laura asked me, so I answer.

"I'm going to Hathaler Village."

It is a village in a despicable place.

I also considered the possibility that I didn't even know it existed, but there is something about Laura that doesn't suit her appearance and is knowledgeable.

Nod immediately,

"You plan to go far again... for what purpose?

I'm a little lost on this question.

Because it's hard to answer honestly, or even to answer, how far you talk.

But even if you lie poorly, this girl is likely to spot it.

It wouldn't be a good idea to lose the trust that we're building because of that.

Given that, I thought it would be better to be honest with you, not all of it.

I say.

"Actually, there's a small temple in that village. I'm going to visit there."

"The temple...? How the hell?"

I answer that question.

"I have the blessing of holiness. The blessing was given from what was worshipped in the temple… I just don't know what kind of divine spirit was worshipped there. So I wanted to know..."

To this, Laura nods without particular surprise.

Well, it's something I already said to Isaac about being holy, and I'm not uncomfortable with what his husband, Laura, knows.

"Are you sanctimonious...... you were. But even though you're an adventurer, you have something rare, don't you? But I see, if that's the case...... I get it. The protection of the Spirit expands the range of abilities by knowing what is given to it."

That's what I said.

This is my first ear,

"Really? As for holy chi, I'm an amateur... and I don't know the details."

say.

Laura is

"Because Sacred Qi is intuitive when it comes to basic usage. Even if you're wearing holy chi, that would be the majority of the time. But it's one of the powers alongside magic, chi, so the way it operates has a long pile of history and technology. The vast majority of them… are kept secret by each religious group"

Well, I guess so, that's the story.

I don't even know how to handle Sacred Flame in the meantime.

Let's not go that far, there must be other ways of using the sacred spirit besides strengthening weapons and physical abilities, and healing and purifying them.

But I can't learn.

I don't even knock on the door of some religious group now and let me get my training as a saint and...

What I want to be in the first place is a Divine Silver (Mithrill) Adventurer, not a Travel Fertilizer Saint.

But that brings good news out of Laura's mouth to me.

"... if that means going to find out about the divine Spirit that is the source of the Holy Qi, would you like to have some materials about the Holy Qi, held by the Latour family? There must have also been some portrayals of how to train the Sacred Qi in some churches."

... how the hell did you get that stuff?

Weren't they kept secret?

It's a substitute for being interrogated for heresy.

But I'm pretty sure that would help a lot with that.

Besides, I don't need it because heresy interrogation is horrible here, and I felt like Lorraine was about to run out of butch later.

I was wondering why you didn't tell me to.

So I said.

"If you can lend me..."

Laura smiled at it,

"Absolutely."

That's what I said and nodded.
