Episode 540: Stacked Challenges and Holy Water

"... Will this not cause any more bone men to attack the village...?

Ribble asks me that just a little anxiously.

It would be natural because that is the most important thing for them villagers.

You seem anxious because, well, you're not familiar with the fine ecology of demons or how they occur. I don't know how bone people stop occurring.

This would be largely the case even for adventurers, because there is only so much recognition that there is no choice.

Because demons are less of what we still know, and all we can say is that knowledge of demons, what we call them, is tentative, which continues to be rewritten day and night rather than confirmed knowledge.

Anyway, a genius like Lorraine said he did some serious research while taking an occasional nap with a treat and tea in one hand...... seriously? No, I'm serious... it's just something that doesn't come to light inside.

I don't need to learn. There's no way an adventurer remembers that in detail.

Though Maltese adventurers have a culture that emphasizes Wolf's influence and relatively knowledge.

I taught the neighborhood to be young, and not bad.

Though, in general, you mean to that extent.

But for now, there's something I can say about this bone man.

"There's still some evil in here. I can't say it's safe yet."

"That means..."

"If you let it go, it'll happen again."

"Oh no...!

It's a libble with a hopeless look on my words, but I'm certainly not going to leave it like that, either.

I'll explain it thoroughly.

"Ribble, don't panic..." You're saying "not yet," right? We're going to make it safe... "

"Ah... well, you are. Sorry, I'm in a hurry... but how the hell...?

How to scatter evil, because that's not what ordinary villagers know.

It's just not actually that complicated either.

I take something out of my magic bag.

"... is that a bottle? What's in there?

That's what Ribble asked me when I saw the beautiful bottle of making I took out, so I answered.

"There is holy water in this. That's what religious groups do in Malt in exchange for donations..."

If you really want to get down to the facts, it's not so much the donation as the purchase amount, but it's the religious organization that blurs the donation around it.

It is a rowdy business. I guess I would never call it business.

Whatever it is, donations, it's not all a mistake.

It lowers the amount of donations to those who have made various contributions to a particular religious group.

The amount has not been determined clearly.

On the contrary, he sometimes offers a foolishly high amount of donations to those who don't care.

Speaking of which in my case, that doesn't seem like how much it would load me, given what its nature is, but I know someone who has a pretty strong pipe in Roberianism called Niv.

Thanks to this, I can buy cheaply from Robelism.

The part I like about Robelism itself is not refreshing, but I still buy the holy water there because it is excellent.

Other times, now Lillian the Eastern Catholic is regaining her power as the Virgin.

In time, the holy water of the eastern Catholic church in Malt may also improve in quality.

I have bought it now and then, but it was still slightly weak... I would expect it.

If that happens, I will definitely not employ a friend discount... or think about it just a little bit, but I certainly don't intend to force it.

Because the truth is that even in the case of Roberianism, something is strangely cared for and cheaper on the other side... I'm just wondering what weakness Roberianism holds in the end, but I have to see him again to find out that.

That's a relief, so it doesn't matter if you don't know forever......

With that in mind, they convinced me that it was holy water, Ribble tells me.

"If it's holy water, you may also buy it from pedestrians in the village. Once a year, on the day of the harvest festival, it sprinkles around the village."

"That's for exorcism, isn't it?

"Yep. Even so, he seems to be resting..."

"Well, I guess that is. Even if you use holy water as an exorcism, if it volatilizes, it loses its effect... Sometimes if it's too thick, it will hold for a few months, but if you use that for boulders, it won't hold gold..."

I wouldn't be able to easily use that stuff to get rid of demons on my small village income or so.

Still, I guess I do it once a year because I still have an old custom or something.

We do it as part of a ritual at a harvest festival or something.

Now is the time to exclude many other kinds of demons, but I've heard from Lorraine that long ago it was a holy water choice.

At the time, we had to rely on holiness for the means for people to protect themselves from demons.

I'd say you have magic and temper, but this is due to the nature of holiness.

Magic and chi are things that those who potentially possess that power strive to realize acquired and even increase their combat abilities, but holy chi is different.

Because with the protection of God and the Spirit, it can be used normally from the time it is worn.

Of course, there are parts that can be stretched with effort, but the power to soak up reason, theory and drilling to some extent to counter demons must have been so important that long ago it was not comparable to now.

That's why anything that is still holy is festived in religious communities and called the Virgin of Saints.

"But... Mr. Lent is going to use that holy water now, right? How so?

"That's because it's true that it has a high effect on getting rid of evil. Sure, it won't last long, so it's really good for a way of using it to protect village-like bases all year round, something that's hard to use for anything, but spreads evil so strong that bone people develop."

Well, if it's true, I don't have to use holy water, so I can scatter it.

I just want to use it for the main thing about this that I can convert to fighting power.

It means that if you can substitute with holy water, you should use holy water.

I say to Ribble, who sees with slight suspicion.

"Well, look... uh, where to sprinkle it... sure, it was around here that the bone knight occurred earlier, wasn't it?

Ask Ribble, nod.

"Maybe he did..."

"Well, this would be a good place,"

And I'll sprinkle holy water.
