Episode 317: Numerous Secrets and Purification

When it comes to Mullius and my turn, it would mean purifying by holy temper.

Niv can use holy chi, but he's not good at purifying it.

It would mean that any human being is unsuitable.

But......

"Are you sure? It's a corpse ghost, Shiki. Don't do it with your own hands."

That's what I ask Niv.

Niv recognizes that vampires "vampires" are absolutely killers, so he thought it might be inadvertent to leave them to people to say "Shishi" the corpse ghost.

In response to my question like that, Niv says with a rare and vague look on his face shaking his neck beside him.

"... it's going to be quite a while. It's not yet" Shishi ", a corpse ghost of both body and mind. That said, I don't have the means to save you, I don't. There's only one way to make it disappear. Forced by things they don't even want to be...... how careless they are. I have something to think about, too. So at least by painless means, in peace. Are you crazy?

It was an unexpectedly soft and merciful opinion.

Of course, it's not weird at all.

On the contrary, it's a terribly sweet story.

"No... I'm just a little surprised Niv said that. I think that's a good idea."

To be honest with you, Niv laughed deceptively,

"I am an extremely loving super being. It's normal to pour kindness on people."

and shrugged his shoulders.

Niv as usual, but it feels like what you're talking about.

Anyway, that's purification for now.

"Mr. Lent. Is the method okay?

Mullias approached me and asked me that, so I nodded.

"Oh. You normally just have to purify it with holy chi, don't you?

"Yeah. You should just go one at a time. Because if you do it together, you will consume more. I'll do it from here, Mr. Lent will do it from there."

That said, I almost went to the far end of the line of the corpse ghost Shiki, so I went in the opposite direction and purified it in turn from there.

The unresponsive Kakikake Corpse Ghost Shiki and others slowly change from fingertips to ashes when purified.

No screams, no groans, nothing.

However, the eyes seemed to convey a mild emotion.

When we turned them all into ashes, all that remained was the clothes and possessions that the corpse ghosts Shiki and the others were wearing.

Of all those things, everyone on the spot... those who were caught together, collecting all the items that seemed to confirm their identity,

"... um, is this...?

and Niv approached and stared at the ashes of my purified corpse ghost Shiki.

Then, what was in it...... I mean, somehow I took a plant that grows every time I use holy chi.

It's not a bud this time, it's a small seedling tree.

Even so, it's very thin, small though.

"What the hell is this...?

And it looks terribly strange, so I'll explain.

"It was the plant-based god who gave me protection, so when you use holiness, something grows up. I don't think there's any harm in that."

"Well, it's botanical... this is also unusual. Can I have it?

"I don't mind... it's just a tree, okay?

Yeah, I give it back, and Niv shook his head to the side,

"No, you're holy, aren't you? If you grow up well, you could sooner or later become a holy tree. It's a very valuable material... so I was hoping I could get it close."

"I don't think that's going to happen to boulders...... or have you ever gotten one"

The ancient kingdom of Sacred Tree, ruled by the High Elves, is a clandestine country that even adventurers do not enter so much.

Plus if you try to get some of the holy trees they worship and cherish like that, it's not something you've figured out how much effort it takes.

Doesn't even the leaves contain holy temper that goes beyond the amount of holy temper I have?

From what I've heard from Crope before, I'm pretty sure it's as good as that.

Yet Niv...

Niv answers my question.

"Yeah, well, I borrowed a few branches... that's when the boulder I was ready to die, too. No."

"Did you sneak in...?

"There's hardly any other way to get the branches of the Holy Tree. The magic of both the high elves is coming at me with a bang. You were evaporating when it hit you."

Listening to that on the side, Lorraine said,

"How reckless..."

And I was frightened.

Even Lorraine, a lump of exploratory mind, seems to see it as a reckless story to break into boulders into the deepest, most alarming part of the ancient holy tree kingdom.

Is that obvious?

"By the way, what are you doing with the branches of the Holy Tree?

"Do you want to know? But don't tell me that. Enjoy it if you get a chance to show it someday."

That's what they said.

Well, not revealing as much as you can in your hand is fundamental to the adventurer, and I know perfectly well that you don't want to tell me what you did with what you struggled to get.

So I don't ask any more.

And when I roughly recovered the remains of the corpse ghost Shiki,

"... hey, there's been some big force reaction over here...!

With that said, other adventurers came.

He left Malt with us, one of the elite parties.

I just explained to them that there was a leader and a middle-aged man in them,

"... If that's the case, you should just take these guys home. We'll take it. You guys keep exploring."

That's what I said.

"Is it good? We're going to fit the handle, though?

I ask that on her behalf, because being this member would mean that Niv is a leader, both ranked and experienced.

The middle-aged man,

"You're the first ones to find the vampires, so that's fine. Your strength and experience are better. [M] Besides, getting these guys back safely is an important task. Kill whoever did this to our people..."

That's what I said.

Niv nodded at it,

"Yeah, of course. The vampires will destroy us. Wait in anticipation."

That's what I replied.
