453 - - CHAPTER XIII -- THE DETERMINATION OF THE BRAIDERS

This is the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen!

Korol, the former priestess of the Goddess Church, "the brave warrior of the Holy Spear," shouts angrily.

The other heroes showed their strong dissatisfaction on their faces, and it was obvious that they agreed with him even without words.

The place where the heroes are now is a room in the head temple of the Goddess cult.

So what are they so angry about?

They had declared that they would "kill" Mya, a saint of the "Giant Tower Church," and Quone, a priest, to make an example of them and to show that they were serious, but they were outwitted and transferred by Domus, a professor of the Magic Academy, whose level was far lower than our own brave men, and the two were allowed to escape.

They were then outmaneuvered by Domas, a professor at the academy of magic, who was far lower in level than the heroes, and were transferred to another location.

They are furious about this fact.

If only the church had not interfered, we, the brave high humans, would have punished them and killed them all.

Even the ...... goddess religion didn't mean to stand in our way. Holy Armor, please do not misunderstand me on that point. And everyone else as well."

When Moza, a pudgy former adventurer and "hero in holy armor," complains while floating in the air with the power of his armor, Korol, who had been in a rage, turns around and tells him in a calm tone of voice.

He nailed the brave men so as not to give them a strange misunderstanding, since both of his parents are priestesses of the Goddess Church.

In fact, if these heroes had been serious, they would have killed Domus and the guards of the Six Principality Magic Academy in an instant.

The ambassadors were too drunk on the overwhelming difference in level to play tricks on them, and the ambassadors were too quick to protest to the Goddess Church that they had meddled with the Six Principality Academy of Magic, a neutral zone, and were stopped before they could kill Domas and the other guards.

Even the Goddess Church could not ignore the protests from various countries.

The Goddess Church does not want to start a religious war against the nations of the world, and does not want to cause a major political problem. They had no intention of actively making enemies other than the "Witch of the Giant Tower.

That is why they made the heroes back off in a hurry.

Fortunately, the Duke's Academy of Magic, the world's most advanced school, was also located in the area, and the Domas and the others were able to survive thanks to the massive use of healers and expensive potions.

--In reality, however, it was because the merchants who Light and the others had helped had mixed in highly effective potions from the "Infinite Gacha" and forced the Domas to use them.

The heroes will never find out about it.

However, the fact that Domas and the guards were saved was becoming a very headache for the heroes.

Anren, a former merchant, "the brave man of the Holy Seal," sits on a one-person sofa and holds his head down with one hand.

The "Goddess of the Goddess" is a very important person in the world, and she is the one who is the most important person in the world. The problem is that ...... we didn't kill anyone with our swords. This is very bad......"

?"　How is that bad?"

Nick, the "Brave Sword of the Holy Sword" from a poor farmer's family, did not know what the problem was and asked the question without thinking for himself.

Anren, trying not to make a face of dismay, explains it in a way that even Nick, who is not very smart, can understand.

He said, "Even though we went all the way into the academy and drew our swords in the name of the 'Goddess's Chosen Brave,' we couldn't kill even one low-level teacher or guard, let alone a pagan saint or priestess. With this, it's not surprising that we, the 'heroes of the goddess,' are treated as 'cowards, incompetent who can't even kill lower-ranked people. Worst of all, we could be treated as imposter heroes, and even the oracle from the goddess could be doubted. This is very bad."

In other words, there is even a possibility that their stated cause will no longer be viable.

Finally understanding the gravity of the situation, Nick makes a suggestion.

Then let's kill those teachers and guards right now. This time, let's not hurt them, and just cut off their heads, and this will all be over in an instant.

It makes no sense to go back to the magic academy and kill those little bastards now. In the extreme, they are people who sabotaged us, but they have nothing to do with the "paganism. But on the contrary, since we have declared that we will destroy the paganism, we must kill the saints and priests of the paganism by all means, or else our reputation will be destroyed."

Since all the heroes have pulled out their legendary weapons and declared together that they will "kill the saints of the Giant Tower cult (paganism)," Mya and Quone, like the "Giant Tower Witch," are targets for elimination that absolutely must be killed.

If they could not be killed, the authority of the heroes and the goddess religion would be damaged.

Their pride would never allow such a thing.

'Then we can just kill the pagan saints and priestesses right now, can't we?

I'll put it simply: "The ...... problem is that we don't know where those two are. I can't believe they would use an expensive transition magic item on two kids like that. ...... This is why teachers don't understand the value of things. ......"

Anlen, a former merchant, responded to Nick's light tone with a headache.

Domus, a professor at the Six Principality Magic Academy, used a transfer magic item to help Mya and Quone.

Thanks to this, the heroes had no idea where the two had gone, and even if they had tried to kill them, they still would not have been able to trace their steps.

The goddess religion has already put a bounty on those two and is asking for information about them. Of course, they are also working behind the scenes.

Moza whistles at the words of Korol, the "Brave of the Spear.

Anlen continues.

Anlen continues, "If we take our time, we will be able to track them down. But if we take too long, it would be bad for our reputation as feckless to be circulated among the public. ...... We'd like to find them and take care of them as soon as possible. ......

But they're headed to just one place, right?　There is no one who can stand against us except for the Witch of the Gigantic Tower.

In the meantime, there are four other candidates.

Anlen responded to Moza's point while floating in the air by holding up four fingers.

The Kingdom of the Races, the Abyss, the Family Home of Saint Mya, and the Family Home of Priestess Cuone.

The "Giant Tower Town" is when two people go directly to the "Giant Tower Witch" to ask for protection.

The "racial kingdom" has deep connections with the "Witch of the Giant Tower" and may seek protection and contact her via the racial kingdom.

The "Nana" is on the level of a maybe, but it is a candidate. According to the oracle of the goddess, the "Witch of the Giant Tower" is said to exist in the lowest level of the "Abyss," but it is impossible for Miya and Quone to go deep underground by themselves. If they can reach the "Abyss" as saints and priestesses of the "Giant Tower Church," there may be a way to get in touch with the "Giant Tower Witch.

The "family of the saint Miya" and the "family of the priest Quone" would hide themselves and try to get away with it. They don't have to contact the "Witch of the Gigantic Tower" on their own. They could seek protection from the witches via another person.

The ...... question is, 'Which one did the girls choose?'

Anlen tells us in a voice that sounds like a headache.

Moza and Korol don't know where the two visited, and they groan with difficulty, but ...... only Nick hits on the tirade with aplomb.

It's easy, isn't it? We'll just have to split up and take out all five of them.

The other three brave men's eyes widen at his answer, but they are convinced that it is true.

'Certainly you don't need to worry about it. It would be better for the goddess if those who are in league with the pagan saints and priests were destroyed.

I agree. Even one of us could easily destroy a village, a town, or even a nation or two, let alone take out those two kids.

Then, for efficiency's sake, let's split up and head to each other's offices to see if any pagan saints have escaped.

The "Braves of the Holy Spear," the "Braves of the Holy Armor," and the "Braves of the Holy Seal" agree with each other and come up with ideas for each other.

They are in the process of searching for adventurers who are experts in dungeon exploration and making requests in order to conquer the "Abyss.

To pass the time while waiting for them, each of them will be in charge of "Giant Tower Town," "Racial Kingdom," "Mya's Family Home," and "Quone's Family Home," and will crush them as the case may be.

If there are no two people in these four candidate places, the only place they could head to would probably be "The Abyss".

In that case, they would have to regroup at the headquarters of the Six Principality Goddess Church, aim for the lowest level of the "Abyss," and take out the "Giant Tower Witch" and the others.

It would be very efficient.

All the brave men agreed with this decision.

They then happily discussed which heroes would go to the "Giant Tower Town," the "Racial Kingdom," "Mya's family," and "Kuone's family," and how they would destroy them, depending on the situation.
