Chapter 202

The contract was written in an instant. In a form that satisfies me, and in the form of a bittersweet smile on the head of Hisjena.

“Sincerely...it was a very comfortable word when I used it.”

Specifically, the information and combat experience about the demons that the temple has accumulated over the years have been presented. The degree of issuance of tokens that can receive benefits even if you stop by the Temple of the Holy Cross in any region in the future. The rest of the content is to express only ‘sincere’ because I know how important the Holy Cross Society regards the issue of being a saint.

If we want to maintain a good relationship in the long run, we need to add more, and even if not, since there is a proper attitude to take as a faithful believer in the case of the alleged assassination of a saint, I have no choice but to pay attention, so I will not be pleased with it. ‘Anything’ is good for A and extremely annoying for E.

“It was because I showed all my sincerity just by accepting the terms of the temple related to the saintess and not asking for anything else.”

I came to know the secrets of one church, but this is actually a very cheap price. It is a problem that even the marrow will be pulled out even if only Ragnis or Esmue are tipped off right now. No, if it’s Esmu’s, you’ll have enough left over from one to ten. If the other person takes care of it appropriately and comes out saying, “I have nothing to say,” I have already drawn out all my sincerity.

Since the work originally intended to be done without pay is additionally paid, it’s a level that doesn’t matter anyway, so there are some rough negotiations... but since we’ve clearly stated what we wanted to get anyway, I think it’s an opportunity to find out what the average personality of the Holy Cross is. If you do, this isn’t too bad.

“Extremely reasonable. Let’s prepare things that are not too obtrusive but obvious. Do you need any other help in solving the cult problem?”

“Do you have any consumables that work well with demons? They say there are about a hundred cultists... They won’t all die in one spot, but given the location, I think there’s a possibility that the demon will use them as sacrifices and force them to appear. It does.”

All of my knowledge of demons was learned from books, so I wasn’t sure, but fortunately it wasn’t nonsense at all.

“Hmm. There’s a good chance. There are actually cases like that. We’ll provide that for free. Anything else?”

“About holy water and potion? Return it when you haven’t dealt with the devil, but if you use it for other reasons, I think it would be appreciated if you lend it in the form of payment later. And since we need to use the cultist we brought as bait, we’ll take it back.”

“If it’s something like that, it’s possible to fully support it. It’s reliable that you’re even aware of that type of contract.”

I basically take potions, but they are of lower quality than potions made by separately processing the items I picked and received from the alchemists in the temple. As it is stored in a steel container for safety, the contents gradually deteriorate and the effect is weakened.

On the other hand, the potions of the temple are special products processed with magical engineering, so they are not broken easily and there is no risk of deterioration of the potion. The disadvantage is that it is still difficult to come up with if it is not supported in this form, as it is a dirty expensive item.

A potion the size of a small test tube containing only one or two sips was worth two gold coins. It is said that there is nothing more precious than life, but it is still better to buy a cheaper potion and take good care of it.

“Then, please take care of me, Eldmia. I’ll prepare the support supplies by tomorrow.”

After a brief greeting, we left the drawing room and headed for the chapel.

“Come to think of it, you don’t ask about the saintess, Eldmia.”

“Yeah, well. You didn’t ask because you weren’t interested, right?”

“Even though there are some unsavory things, even though she is a saint of a church?

“You know, you’re not interested.”

“Then what?”

“Rip to pieces and die. That’s enough for the weak.”

It was bloody bloody stuff. Unknowingly, I opened my eyes wide and flinched, followed by his hearty laugh.

“Contains the sacred magic that the God of Warlord used himself. As long as you haven’t made a contract with the devil, there’s no problem. Don’t worry.”

“...You mean contracting with the devil is an anomaly? What is the scope?”

“Well? You can say that the area where the light hits is all within the permissible range. As I said beforehand, in order to be effective against the cultists, you need to receive the power almost directly. Don’t waste it.”

Chet. I wanted to use it to catch cultists and just beat demons, but it doesn’t seem to work like that. It’s unfortunate, but it was good enough support, so I decided to accept it gratefully.

“And the saintess asked me to convey her words. She said she was sorry for not being able to properly express her thanks. She said to see you again when she comes back.”

Rather, I was going to say that it was for my sake that we would never get involved again, but I just nodded my head. It’s okay to spit in the face when someone else is showing favor.

“I’ll come back to report when it’s sorted out. Have a hard time.”

“Yes. May Lubiska-sama’s blessing be with you.”

Of course you should do it together. It’s a problem because you can’t manage the church yourself.

Thanks to that, we left Ogwen in just three days, and we sped up our horses to make it to the capital a little faster.

“Sen! How long do you think it will take from the capital to reach the cultists’ base?”

“It will take about five days! If you take the road in the direction of stopping at the city in the middle, it will take another day!”

The vacation that should have ended in a week looks a little longer. After all, I had to ask Lord Yekaf’s understanding again.

“How would you like to move in the capital? Would you like to engrave your mark upon arrival?”

While I was used to having most of my conversations with Sen, Merdella actively started talking to me. Even though it’s no different than putting a dog collar on my neck, I think my desire to get out of there quickly grew as I was in a situation where I was only paying attention as a stack of distrust piled up.

“I’ll try, but it may take a little longer depending on the circumstances, so go and judge!”

Radnell Vandes and Mr. Widra. It is questionable whether I can meet right now, but the problem is that there is no one I can ask for besides the two of them. If Esmuer had been there, he might have brought at least one magician with him, so it would have been worth asking, but the possibility was slim since he would have already returned home by now.

Actually, that was pretty good. There’s nothing I can’t respond to if he’s working on a modification anyway, and Sen’s collateral is so strong that I don’t even care. Rather, the reason I wanted to visit the capital was because of the anticipation that the product I had asked Mr. Valkun to produce would be completed.

I can’t wait to receive the courier.
