445 - - Episode 6 The Sword, The Spear, The Armour, The Seal

The church located near the entrance to the northern slum in the Principality of Six is the "Headquarters of the Goddess Church.

As a result of the support of the poor by the head temple of the Goddess Church, slums were formed in the northern area.

The rivalry between the various races is too strong (for example, the demon race sees the dragon race as a rival and aims to surpass them in the future), and they do not particularly revere the Goddess Church.

They inevitably give priority to their own species over the goddess religion.

However, since it would not be right to ignore them completely, each country sets aside a budget every year and makes a donation to the Goddess Church.

This is merely a formal way of showing respect.

The newly born heroes, including the farmer-born "Nick the Brave of the Sword," gathered in a parlor on the grounds of the Goddess Church and engaged in conversation.

Korol, the spearman, sits on a one-person sofa, his voice trembling with anger.

A merchant, who is a close friend of the 'Witch of the Giant Tower,' whom the Goddess has recognized as the 'Demon King,' has offered to give away a large sum of money. He greeted me with a flirtatious look, and in a roundabout way, he asked me to withdraw his recognition as the Demon King if I would give him a large sum of money. ......

Korol is tall at 190 cm, but his face is also long and vertical. His hair is neatly cut at the ends as if measured with a ruler, and he wears a simple priest's uniform. He had no muscles or flab; he was simply thin.

He was the son of parents who worked at the head temple of the Goddess of Mercy and was currently a priest himself.

At first glance, he appeared to be a good-looking young priest who was tall but thin like a thin tree and never seemed to have been in a fight. ......

Korol opens his eyes to the limit and lets out a vindictive cry.

'To think that money can solve the guidance of the Goddess!　What impiety!　Disrespect!　Disrespect!　Disrespect!　Shouldn't we go to the "Abyss" right now to show the Goddess our guidance!"

Korol, as a devout priestess of the Goddess Church, cried out "impious" with tears of blood and insisted that we go to the "Abyss" right now.

In response, Anren, the "Brave Man of the Holy Seal," sitting alone on the two-seater sofa, raised his hand lightly and said, "Wait.

Calm down, Holy Spear," he said. I understand how you feel, but haste makes waste. In all business and in all battles, it is essential to be fully prepared. Preparation is everything in business, and although we are the chosen heroes, we are amateurs in dungeon exploration. We can't go into a dungeon without any know-how.

"You coward, Holy Seal!　You're just a merchant and a miser after all!　We have the blessings of the Goddess!　Faith is everything!　We don't need dungeon know-how or preparation, we are brave men!

Korol, the "Brave of the Holy Spear," rises from his couch and rages at the words of Anren, the "Brave of the Holy Seal.

Anren, the "Brave of the Holy Seal," who had done many negotiations as a successful merchant, was neither frightened nor angry at Korol's attitude, and he explained the benefits to the child to calm him down.

As the Holy Spear said, we have the blessing of the Goddess. It will be no problem for us to go to the lowest level of the Abyss and raise the head of the Witch. However, there is no possibility of failure due to negligent preparation. That's why we need to be prepared to destroy that possibility. We should be careful to ensure that we can fulfill the oracle from the goddess. Don't you agree?"

Gnu......"

Anlen, the "hero of the holy seal," crossed his legs and calmly announced, "I am the hero of the holy seal.

Korol, who had been agitated by his attitude, could not help but fall silent.

Anren was originally a merchant who sold racial slaves to make a profit.

He knew how to silence someone like Korol who shouted emotionally.

Anlen wears his hair in an all-back bun and is around 5'5" tall. He was originally a merchant, but he trained his body and was so toned that he could be called thin and macho.

He also looks very good with his legs crossed and his well-defined face.

As if to follow up on Korol, who was silenced by Anren's calm demeanor and voice, a young man floating in the air shouts out, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I agree with the holy seal," he says. As a former adventurer, I can tell you that you shouldn't take dungeon exploration too easy. It is more problematic to neglect it and fail to defeat the Demon King.

The young man who is so young and short that he looks like a boy floating in the air is Moza, the "Brave Man in Holy Armor.

He is the fourth son of a former poor farmer, and when he reached adulthood (age 15), he was kicked out of his family home.

Since then, he has been active as an adventurer, but he is not as tall and strong as he looks, nor as fast on his feet, nor as quick-witted, nor as dexterous with his hands.

As a result, he has always been a "Class E: Half a Man" adventurer.

However, those who have been driven out of farming villages are not expected to have special skills such as reading, writing, or special skills.

Most of them, like Moza, are usually found wandering around at the adventurer rank of "Class E: Half a Man.

Moza, an ex-adventurer, was proud to point out Korol's naive perception of him, citing his experience as an ex-adventurer.

He said, "But if we leave it too long, if we only talk about it and don't put it into action, we may tone down the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' and we may be slighted. ...... Then our faith won't stand, and we'll be ignoring our face as brave men and the word of the Goddess."

The opinion from a former adventurer, Korol, a priest and a "brave man of the Holy Spear" who knows only a small world, slows down his momentum.

On the other hand, Nick, who can't read the air and has only lived in a farming village, sits down in front of Anren, sips his tea, and points out that he is a "brave man of the Holy Sword.

Rather, I wonder if the "Giant Tower Witch" is really at the bottom of the dungeon called "The Abyss.　It's commonly believed that the "Giant Tower Witch" is in "Giant Tower Town," right?"

The other volunteers frown awkwardly.

Those other than Nick also thought that it was natural for the "Giant Tower Witch" to be in "Giant Tower Town. It is common knowledge in this world that the "Giant Tower Witch" is usually in her own territory, "Giant Tower Town.

However, according to the omens conveyed by the goddess in a dream, they are in the lowest level of the abyss.

As the goddess's chosen hero, everyone kept quiet about it, but Nick, the "hero of the sacred sword," a young man who had just come out of a farming village where he could not read the air, did not mind voicing it.

Anlen, the former merchant and "Brave Man of the Holy Seal," offers a compromise: "I'm not going to let you get away with this, but I'm going to make a deal with you.

'......The Holy Sword has a point. The "Abyss" is a huge dungeon. The "Giant Tower Witch" is staying in the "Giant Tower Town" first, since we still need more time to prepare for the dive.

The Holy Seal!　You doubt the Goddess!　You unbeliever!"

Naturally, the former priest, Korol the "Brave of the Holy Spear," bites at this suggestion.

Anren shrugged his shoulders in a calm manner.

You can't doubt it, Holy Spear. I'm just checking to make sure. But he does have a point.

Anlen makes a black smile and suggests.

'...... So here's an idea. The priestess who started the "Giant Towerism" that is just becoming popular in "Giant Tower Town" and the saint who is worshipped with witches are apparently students at the Sixth Duchy Magic Academy. How about killing them first, and then telling the witches and the rest of the world that we are serious?　I am sure the Goddess would be sincerely pleased to see us destroy the religion that our enemies are spreading."

What is "Giant Tower Sect"?

It is a religion that worships the "Witch of the Giant Tower," fairy maids, and Saint Mya. Although they also worship the goddess who is said to have created the world, they are pagans and heretics in the eyes of the goddess religion.

Everyone was enthusiastic about Anren's proposal.

Worshiping a goddess and a witch as one and the same!　What paganism, such a thing deserves to be crushed!　This has to be taken care of now!"

Good, it'll be good publicity to let the 'Witch of the Giant Tower' know we're serious."

Moza, a former adventurer and "hero in holy armor," agrees, hovering in the air.

I was thinking the same thing. Then let's kill the saint and the priestess to tell the Witch of the Gigantic Tower and the rest of the world that we are serious.

Nick, a farmer and "the hero of the sword," pretended that he was the first to propose the idea and that he was the one who brought everyone's opinions together.

Thus, the heroes decided to kill Mya and Quone, who were attending the Six Principality Magic Academy.
