The Novel’s Villain

< 24. Musical Trait (4) >

Immediately after the High Horse returned, rumors of a Saint appeared rapidly. It was rumored that a holy saint defeated the wicked High Horse who cursed the territory. High Septon Alonso and many others testified to this.

Just now, adventurers have checked the dungeon near Gern Village, and are back to normal.

The curse is lifted!

The High Demons are merely servants, and rumors have spread that the Demon King is crossing the continent. The cult said it was a nonsense rumor.

I was afraid that the authority of the goddess would fall.

Senior High Priest Alonso, who went to verify Selena, announced that she had nothing to do with the curse, and soon she was able to regain her original authority.

Earl Ehose's face distorts.

His hobby is to joke at the opponent pretending to use the toebox. A good face is just a mask. Most of Altamia's territory has fallen over, and I intend to make Selena a witch by verifying the Church.

And I planned to deal with it after I got it all while playing with it.

It was his intention to move the nobles by spreading the curse. He pretends to be a good man and controls everything behind his back.

The curse was exaggerated.

It's because Ehose did a lot of manipulation.

“Saint? Sanctuary? ”

High Priest Alonso was not well paid, but his collapsing faction needed a lot of money. I trust you will lead me well, as I have paid a great bribe to the High Septon following Alonso. Plus, I sent Selena to the nobles to investigate, so she's not in trouble at all.

was.

Suddenly, the reservoir collapsed.

The nobles do not think about returning, and all the priests wipe their mouths and pretend not to know.

‘Selena · · · ·. There was one way to hide it. ’

Selena's work was clear.

Her aunt tries to get engaged, but she decides to take it with all her might be eaten.

The curse was a very good excuse.

The erl didn't want to take over all of Altamia's lands. Once the territorial integration is complete, there won't be many nobles within the kingdom to deal with him.

“What do you think? Don't you think Alonso was possessed by something evil? ”

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

“Perhaps there is a great evil there. If the High Septon is empty, the next High Septon will be you, Teronso. ”

Teronso nods.

He understands the will of Earl Ehose. Teronso was lacking in divinity, but with one of his conspiracy and political prowess, he climbed to the Intermediate Cathedral.

The two of them smiled face to face.

It was acceptance of something.

‘Hmm · · · ·. ’

However, the Earl shivered for some reason.

He had no idea there was such a thing as a being beyond a great evil.

* * *

Jinwoo began to seriously consider.

Gern Village has become a golden sanctuary.

Being a sanctuary has given ownership to Jinwoo. Of course, the laws of the Las Khan Kingdom were Selena's territory, but Jinwoo had all the authority.

Selena was admitting it.

The sanctuary was a sacred realm beyond the laws of the realm.

"Saint." ’

Shrines and villagers began to treat themselves as saints. It was very burdensome. It was a jungle far from sacred. Jinwoo denied it, but looked at him with a more respectful look every time. Selena began to master the dark magic of gold. I learned the dark magic of gold and found a way other than the goddess. Originally, it led to dark magic with the higher horsemen and was corrupted through contracts, but now it leads to dark magic of gold.

“I realized what I had to do. ”

Selena has changed a lot since she woke up.

It felt like I had been peeled off. I made a smile that felt like a shadow, but it felt creepy. Charisma was great.

Jinwoo went to the barn and summoned the elders.

I was instructed not to interfere with the intermediary system unnecessarily. Then the Black Wizards, who were actively engaged and causing many problems, returned to the pitch. After the Saint appeared, rumors spread that the Saint had driven out the Black Wizards.

Half of the rumors were true and half were false.

‘Why did this place get so big? ’

When I returned from the palace, there was a place for Jinwoo to stay.

Jinwoo's residence was where the High Horses were summoned. At Selena's behest, the villagers and their synagogues joined together to build larger structures than the Monastery.

‘It's still a small town, so it shouldn't be a problem. ’

There was a time when I thought.

It was a bad idea.

Alonso and his priests sat before Jinwoo.

It was vague to do something with the priests.

“Aren't you going back? It's the High Septon. ”

“Haha! This is where I belong, since the Saint is here. ”

“I'm not a saint. ”

“Ugh! How humble! Haha, even the saint says he is not a saint, but a high priest like me · ·. Hmm · · ·. ”

Alonso suddenly falls into a state of mind.

The saint who made even the High Horse greet him at 90 degrees denied himself.

I was lowering myself indefinitely.

Trouble is upon us.

Alonso realized he was still obsessed with the position of High Septon. His glare flashes.

“What should be discarded? ”

“Dumped Dara · · · ·. ”

The synagogues sitting behind Alonso also said strange things about being influenced.

[Alonso has revealed a new doctrine.]

* [E] The direction of the Church

* What is [E +] God?

Something was going on.

Jinwoo turned his back on them and examined the information about the golden sanctuary.

[A] Sanctuary of Gold

A place where the Golden Monarch was first dominated in the Middle Ages.

Depending on their loyalty and contribution, the congregation can receive a gift infused with the power of gold. You will never lose your loyalty if you receive a sacred gift.

Those who belong to the realm of gold are affected by the sanctuary. Tendency may change somewhat, but not to worry

* [C] The King's Specialty: Specialty is paid depending on the contribution and loyalty. It can be retrieved at any time.

* [B] Growth: experience gained by those affiliated to the sanctuary increases inside the sanctuary.

* Population 220

New recruits: [E] Swordsman Alen, [D] Wizard Tinya, [E] Archer Hollow · · · · · · · ·.

Luggage was things like groceries or camping tools that I had brought to travel the intermediate world. I haven't checked every day because there are so many of them, but after checking a few, the ranks aren't that high.

‘Now the person with the highest contribution is · ·. ’

It was "Blessed Old Man of the Village."

He was the oldest man who worked hard to make a place for Jin Woo to stay. A sarcophagus was paid, and it was a quantum steel mill in the subspace.

[E +] Big Heart D

The Golden Monarch strengthened the Earth's objects using the pure magical power of the intermediate system. Powerful fatigue relief and permanent health boost. and unlocks potential. Bighas D was a very good medicine for his body.

More territories? ’

As I went to the palace, the territory grew.

The newcomers were strangely numerous adventurers.

It was strange to settle down in a place like this. It was a village with almost nothing.

Jinwoo tries to get out of town.

The road was destroyed by reservoirs, but many visitors suddenly grew. Most of the adventurers were looking to challenge the dungeons near the Sanctuary.

They came to hear that the curse had been lifted.

Dungeons near Altamia, especially Gern Village, are rumored to be very good, although I don't know where they came from. Some came to see the saints.

The town is quiet and noisy with adventurers visiting.

Some adventurers ignore the villagers and brag about their power. It was typical of puppies that came out often in the original work.

From the noise, it seemed like there was still such an adventurer.

A man who appears to be an adventurer wrecks the town's merchandise and makes a fuss. I looked like an adventurer, but it was very threatening. Jinwoo considers taking matters into his own hands, but the villagers' mood is strange and he watches for a moment.

The villagers were all smiling bitterly.

My lips were chapped with a thin curl to my eyes. Margie did not come out, but the atmosphere itself looked very evil.

‘You look more wicked than the devil. ’

Jinwoo thought so.

“Circle · · · ·. Young.Youngblood is a good thing. ”

“I see. Hehehe.”

“Oh, what a fine mineral. ”

“Yes, I dug it up from the cave. ”

When the old man said that, the middle-aged woman holding the basket over her head said so. A large ore was placed on top of the basket. You hold on to the strength of your neck with your hands down.

The villagers smile and stare at you, and the adventurers get more agitated.

“Yi, Yi, Yi! Where does it keep going? ”

“One day, young man, I was just giving you some advice. Why are you so angry? Make sure you pay for the inn properly and go on your way. Please also ask for damages to the goods. ”

“I'll pay you back for going to the dungeon? Are you deaf? ”

As the villagers shake their heads, the adventurer crouches and draws his sword at his waist.

“Hey, these bastards! Do you know who I am? ”

After pulling out the sword, the static settles for a moment.

Jinwoo tilted his head. It was so peaceful around me.

“You picked it.”

“I got it.”

“You picked it.”

The villagers grumbled again.

The adventurer felt strange.

Usually people in small towns like this get scared when they draw their swords. An adventurer officially registered in the Adventurers' Guild had such strong abilities that the common people were quite afraid. There wouldn't be any nobles in a village like this.

But not here.

“What, what! You want to die?"

The adventurer shouts and swings his sword into the air, and the guards rush in as if they were waiting.

“With your sword drawn, may I ask for an official duel? In our territory, we are implementing the duel laws prescribed by the Kingdom of Laskan. ”

“A duel? With the old man? ”

The adventurer looks at the old man with a silly eye.

“Days, can't you handle this old man? These days, young people aren't that tough. ”

“This old man is crazy.” The security guard handed me the contract in his arms.

When he lost, he signed up for four years of demotion and unpaid service, but he didn't seem to have anything to see. It was applied to both parties under the laws of the Kingdom of Laskan.

‘I'll leave you alone and torture you slowly. ’

I couldn't kill him, but I was going to do whatever I wanted.

That's what the adventurer thought, and he raised his sword.

The old man opens his waist and raises his cane. It seemed like the old man's height had suddenly grown.

“Wait a moment. ”

Then he approaches the cart next to him.

A cart full of stones. The old man pushes the cart with one hand and pushes it forward so easily. I held a lump of iron in my hand.

Paan!

It is inserted into the staff and slapped with a hand blade, completely fitted with the sound of the air blowing.

The adventurer saw the scene and blew it. I noticed something was going wrong, but I couldn't turn it back.

The old man turns his head and looks at the adventurer. His eyes flashed strangely.

“Youth is a good thing. ”

“Gulp!”

Squeeze!

I scratched the dull blade with my fingernails, and the blade was sharp. The sight made the adventurer swallow his saliva.

“I have a lot of work to do. ”

The old man grabs the staff that has been turned into an axe.

My clothes became taut as my muscles swelled. This was the moment an adventurer in crisis was about to swing his sword.

Dang!

An axe breaks the adventurer's sword lightly and passes by his nose.

The skin of my nose peels off and my blood runs red.

“Oh, my God, my hands are slipping. ”

Surprisingly, the duel ended easily.

The adventurer stoops to the ground and surrenders.

The old man skillfully removes the axe again and locks it back under the cart.

The villagers went to do what they had to do to make sure they had finished watching.

The adventurer became very calm.

The old man took out the book of the Church from his arms.

To be precise, it was a Saint's Church built around Alonso and many other priests. It was a new form of cult, separated from the goddess cult.

“If you join the Cult in Gern Village, you can save a year of service. ”

“Ahh · · ·. Yes.”

“Haha! My head is wide awake because I'm a young friend. ”

The adventurer signs with a blank expression.

The adventurer looks up at the old man.

The old man's detached head reflects into the sunlight and looks like a light bulb.

“Oh, how so. Such power · · · ·. ”

The old man looks at him seriously.

“Do you know Big Hash D? ”

“Vic, Vic Haas? ”

It was a great idea.

It was like the name of an amazing artifact from a legend.

“Day after day, I'll tell you the secret of what I'm doing today. Come on! We've got a lot of work to do. Let's get moving.” The old man takes the adventurer straight to the workshop.

When I found Jinwoo, I politely greeted him. The adventurer noticed and followed.

It was doubtful that it was the adventurer who just made a scene.

[Beginner Adventurer Adolun has joined the Saint Church of Gold.]

It was a way to find out why there were so many territories.

“Hmm · · · ·. ”

It was almost kidnapping.

Jinwoo, who had no intention of creating a cult, was very embarrassed.

The town was expanding, and the wooden house was turning into a brick. The wet floor was always wrapped up someday.

Jin Woo looked at the construction site.

“Hee, it's hard. Ugh!"

“Whenever I'm in a commotion, how can I be so weak? ”

He spoke politely, but he said, "Work, slave! ’The same scene unfolded.

‘Let's go to the dungeon first. ’

Jinwoo went to the dungeon.

A dungeon that appeared behind the Gern Village. On the way to the dungeon, the children were running in front of the dungeon.

“Take it!”

“Wow!"

Poison Slime rolls the floor as a ball.

The women are collecting ore from the dungeon.

“You know Jane, right? He's marrying that nobleman. I live here at all. ”

“Romantic.”

I was transporting ore while chatting, but it was like I saw women doing laundry in the stream.

EXP buff was being applied because it was in the sanctuary.

[Stinking! Stinking!]

You hear the voice of the maze.

The villagers hear nothing but a murky wind. You break through the walls of the dungeon and are transporting it into town.

It was self-interest.

I thought it would be weirder if I collected it, so I decided to keep an eye on it for a while.

‘For some reason · · · ·. ’

Jinwoo suddenly looks down at the village in the dungeon. The town was much bigger than when we first came here. A strange energy emanates from the stone collected from the dungeon. I looked up at the sky, and there were a lot of clouds.

In the center of the village was a place where Jin Woo stayed. It was now expanding again.

‘It looks like something from Prince Charming. ’

Jinwoo smiles bloody.

Because it couldn't be.

Just · · ·.

It was just a slightly modified village.

At least it's peaceful outside the town.
