202-196 The future of the church

As I was going over the details of the request to be submitted to the adventurer's guild in the Holy City with Granz-san, the guild master, Granz-san suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he stood up from his seat.

''What's wrong?''

'Yeah. Luciel, I need you to narrow down the time frame and scope of the request a bit here.

I understand.

Sorry.

Mr. Glantz told me so, and then he left the dining room.

Maybe because I came so suddenly, he stopped his urgent work in the middle to come over.

Thinking that I did a bad thing, I fill out the part of the request that I had been filling out in the contents of the request on the request form.

The rumors have leaked to other countries as well, but I decided that the scope of the investigation this time will be the entire area within the St. Surreal Cooperative, with the Holy City as the center.

Considering the speed at which the rumors spread to other countries, it can't be said to be that fast, and it could be surmised that they originally wanted to stop this rumor only in the St. Schuler Cooperative.

Well, it's also a premise that if we expand the scope to other countries, unnecessary things will follow, and we don't want this matter to be prolonged.

We want to settle this matter as quickly as possible.

It's much more constructive that way than expanding the range and getting confused by inaccurate information, and I think a great man once said that speed and accuracy are the deciding factors in information warfare.

Just as I finished writing the contents on the parchment, Mr. Glantz came back.

He was much faster than I expected, so when I tried to ask him what he was doing, Granz-san was holding a large magic ball.

It seems that he took the magic ball.

''I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Didn't you say you were worried about Melatoni's guild master earlier?　This is something that allows you to contact all adventurers' guilds, so you can use it.

Perhaps this attentiveness is a sign of being a master of the Adventurer's Guild.

''Thank you. I had the opportunity to accompany you three months ago, but my master didn't have any Demon Jade.''

Normally, the only people who have demon balls are organizations that keep close contact with each other, or wealthy people with vast amounts of money.

But will the day come when the magic ball will serve as a cell phone?　I decided to talk to him.

'It might come in handy if we could mass-produce more, though.

'It's a problem to have it and be able to get in touch with it. They'll use it to commit crimes.

Apparently, they have in mind to keep it out of the hands of criminals.

Certainly, if there were cell phones in this world, all sorts of unsavory things would happen. That could even lead directly to death.

I'm strangely convinced, but then I mention my perception of the tool.

'That's a possibility. But it's probably how the person uses the tool.

''It would take a demon magic stone of A-rank or higher to make one of these, so if you're an adventurer, you'll prioritize making the magic motion tools you need for battle. So it won't be widespread for the time being.

'Haha. Well, that's certainly true.

I could make a magic sword, and I was satisfied with what was possible enough.

Mr. Glantz walked into the counter and came up to me and put down the magic ball.

''Hold on a minute.''

As Mr. Glantz said this, he closed his eyes while holding the magic ball.

For what must have been about thirty seconds, Granz-san froze, but suddenly began to speak.

It seemed that he had connected with the Adventurer's Guild in Meratni.

''This is Granz from the Adventurer's Guild of the Holy City, is there a master?　Excuse me for this evening. There's someone here who really needs to talk to you.

From the way the story is told, the master must have left.

Since it was night time, did he return to the Adventurer's Guild?　Mr. Glantz opens his eyelids, grabs my right hand and places it on the demon ball.

I'm surprised by the suddenness of the situation, etc., but that's where my master's telekinetic talk echoes in my head.

'Grants-dono, I don't have much time on my hands either. There's a situation where I need to train a little.''

I'm going to interrupt the conversation. Luciel, you can talk.

When he was surprised, he was suddenly turned to speak, and even more confused, he was about to call out to his master, but before he could speak, his master's loud telepathic words echoed in his head.

'It's Luciel!　Hey, Luciel, are you in there?

'Yes. Master, it's been a while. Today I have returned safely but not without incident from Nerdal. I don't know why, but I was surprised to hear that rumors were spreading that you couldn't use holy attribute magic.

I'm sure Master will understand what I want to say.

''........I see. Has there been any change?

And since I got the response I expected, I'll summarize and explain the last three months.

'Yes. I managed to overcome the ordeal and become a sage. Well, except for the holy attribute magic, I still can't use it,

"...so, you said earlier that you weren't safe.

Yes. Apparently there are people who want to get rid of me.

''Hoho. That's the black part of the church Galba was looking into and the one who's been rumored to be the one who's been disguised as a war demon called the Transfiguration, which is rumored in the underworld of the Empire.''

'What?　Have you already looked into it?

I'm a little afraid of Garba's ability to gather information, like a completely unknown altered vision or something that I've already looked into....

''Yeah. We haven't had to do anything but work out for three months," he said. The people who wanted to spread the rumor were in Meratni, and when I told the residents of Meratni about it, they took it down and stripped them of their confessions with Gurga's special meal.

........The masters were still the same, but they were gathering information, and I guess they believed in the day when I could use Holy Attribute Magic again.

Furthermore, the fact that the inhabitants of Meratoni were working for me, a stranger, also made me feel really happy and hot.

I resisted the urge to cry and decided to ask my mentor about the future.

'If you already have the information, how should I move on?'

'It's about what you want, Luciel, it's about what you want to do.

...is it what I want to do?

I knew intuitively that Master was going to follow up on this matter until it was closed and leave everything to me.

''That's right.

Partly ... and then the hostility of the Knights was not normal, but was that brainwashing?　But that was still a shock to me.

To be honest, I won't say that I haven't benefited from the church. But I think I have worked for the church even more than that, while breaking into pieces. There are some people in the church headquarters and the Healer's Guild who have been a great help to me...

When I think about it, I realize that I hadn't decided where I wanted to land on this case.

'I'm going to come to Meratni with that in mind.

To Melatoni?

Yeah. I have a favor to ask of you. I need to report this to the warlords and, if possible, have them come to Meratni.

All right. I'll be able to arrive there the day after tomorrow. But I'm expecting an ambush, so I may be a little late.

The question of why is on my mind, but since the information is out there, I think it might be a good idea to cool down for once and agree to it.

Besides, my master's request had to go because sometimes someone gets injured and it's not funny.

''Good. Speaking of which, how are the two of you from Brange doing?''

Are you with me?

'That's good. Yeah, I had some questions for you two, too.

'I'm not sure, sir, but then please pray that you arrive safely.

"If you're my apprentice, you should at least try to get over the hump.

I understand.

Okay. Thank you for calling, Mr. Grantz.

'No, on our part, I'm glad to be of service to you, since I'll be a former pupil of yours who used to teach cooking.

"So long.

When Master finished talking with me, he thanked Mr. Glantz and cut the communication.

''I didn't know that the Demon Ball can be used like this. I've never heard of it before.''

'It's a pain in the ass, though, because you can't intervene once you don't connect to the communications. Where do you want to call next?

''It's the Adventurer's Guild of Yenis, isn't it? I hope it comes out successfully.

'In the meantime, let's send out a message to the Adventurers Guild of Yenis.

Mr. Glantz began to contact the Adventurer's Guild in Yenis.

And in the corner, the adventurers were discussing my street name, and things were heating up.

But I completely dismissed it.
