114 114 Vs.

The Forest of Magic.

Elise runs through the woods wearing a moveable biblical robe.

You swing your Gauntlet hand over the branches and jump over the roots.

Heel-hee, something catches up to you when you look at the side.

- Khhh!

Fangs protruding from green skin, ugly faces, and a muscle-body that's more developed than humans.

Orcs.

He wears old armor and holds blades, spears, and axes.

Elise sticks out her tongue.

Orcs were faster than I thought.

As she looks forward, she looks down in horror.

The sword slashes through the wind.

Swords and spears fly from all sides, and she catches the flying hair and relaxes away from the attacks.

“Joe, just a little more. ”

Elise thinks clearly.

‘The place Mr. Hans mentioned... ’

I felt a lot of movement behind my back.

Orcs swarm in.

More than 100 Orcs.

And a red Ogre storming through the forest.

Two faces, 1.5 times bigger than an ordinary Ogre.

“Do you have Ogres? ”

She casts a startled glance.

There were no Ogre stories in this quest.

The two-headed ogre of red skin stirs the wooden column in his hand like a twig.

The leading Orcs were crushed to the roots of the tree and turned into meat.

Orcs tried to shoot Elise with arrows, but Elise dodged a steep meal in the woods.

Soon after leaving the forest, you see a large meadow.

Hans, robed in front of you, holds a torch and swings it from side to side.

Above the vast field you see artificially covered soil.

Elise leaps over it and looks back at Hans.

- Rrrrgh!

- Human meat!

A swarm of red-eyed Orcs crosses the ground roughly.

At that time, the bamboo that was supporting the soil crumbled down.

The ground is gone and Orcs and Red Ogres are trapped.

Orcs snore in the mud, lying on the ground.

The stench of bloody iron and thick liquids envelop their bodies.

Is this... oil?

The Orcs' faces have turned pale.

Hans throws a torch in his hand as he makes his way out of the trap.

The flames spread to all sides.

More than 100 Orcs screamed and died.

I was caught in a trap.

As Hans and Elise sigh of relief face each other, an ogre pops up.

I was covered in oil and survived the fire.

A mutant ogre, a two-headed ogre, screams with its mouth open.

- Humans, I hate it. These wizards who made me a test subject...!

Then, a paladin in white armor walks out of the forest.

He holds a sword in his hand, up to two metres long.

A precious sword used by an heir to the old sword king.

The paladin mutters in his helmet, clutching it.

“Qasim."

Immediately, a clear force gathered behind his back.

Forms one insignificant human soul.

The Holy Spirit.

It has fallen into the Great Sword.

[Use novelty. Temporarily advances equipment.]

[Skill will be added. The wonder of the wind has been created.]

The paladin grabs the Great Sword with both hands.

It's possession.

Use the Holy Spirit to possess a weapon.

Only a tenth of the power you can summon yourself, but this should be enough.

Draw the Great Sword.

Then I stabbed him in the direction he had pulled.

Bang!

The wind condensed and burst.

The wind whirls and the shapeless sword splits the back hide of a burning two-head ogre.

- Rrrrgh!

Blood gushes out like fountains. The two-head ogre sags forward.

When he reached out for his life, the paladin who held his hand looked down.

“This quest is also complete. ”

A raised dagger cuts off the ogre's finger.

* *

The Adventurers' Guild has a very talkative character.

Paladin of the White Eun.

A paladin who is a fallen aristocrat and worships God in the Kingdom of Rome.

Allen Loops and his associates.

Adventurers, mercenaries, and guild guides stare at the big fingers they left behind.

“Is this the finger of a two-headed ogre? ”

“It's just my thighs. ”

“Isn't that strange? I'm in charge of an Orc Hunting Quest.You 're going after a two-head Ogre? ”

The quest was clearly about hunting Orcs who were raiding villages and abducting people.

But I've also hunted 2-Head Ogres.

Is that it?

I asked you to subdue the swamps that inhabit the Lizardmen, and you hunted a 5-headed mutant Hydra.

A month ago, there was actually a giant queen behind the hunt.

Hunting it down and cleaning up the sewers even happened.

“There's been a strange increase in incidents lately. ”

The notice couldn't hide the feeling of emptiness.

Even though I had a small quest, things got bigger and cleared up.

I did it again.

Simple Orc hunting has grown into a two-head ogre hunt.

As soon as this happened, all kinds of rumors spread.

One is case manipulation.

“That's odd. It's manipulated no matter how much I look at it. ”

“You're not good enough. It's massive amounts of holy water on the underground waterway. ”

A new adventurer falsified the case to gain honor.

But who put a two-head ogre in Orc hunting?

Will you put HYDRA in the hunt for the Lizardmen?

Above all, there will not be a madman in the world who has massive amounts of holy water to temporarily purify the underground waterways of the metropolis where hundreds of thousands of people live.

It was a rumor of jealous adventurers.

Another is the royal family theory of a country.

“It could be any country's royal family. A princess, a squire, a servant. ”

It's the most compelling story.

“The adventurer Elise is the forgotten princess of the kingdom, whose palace is the royal jewel. And the Grand Chamberlain. ”

There was no basis, of course.

The Adventurer's Guild Guide also looks embarrassed to hear the story.

This was an unusual first time for an Eltera adventurer who achieved the rank of Wood with only 1,000 in a month.

I had no choice but to mess with his head as a guide as to how to deal with him.

Then, someone approached the notice.

A muscular man in armor.

It was an adventurer prosecutor named Edolf.

“Oh! Mr. Edolf. ”

The notice waved.

Edolf greets him as well and looks at the fingers of the two-headed ogre on the counter.

The guide smiled and said.

“Oh, you mean this? An Eltera-rated adventurer left it behind. Man, the world is a mess these days. There are rats in the sewers, Orcs going crazy, and Lizardmen trying to raid the territory. ”

As Edolf listens, Edolf sets his chin.

You're right. It's noisy around the territory these days.

There were no casualties.

Originally, hundreds of adventurers and mercenaries died, but it wasn't strange.

It was all thanks to White Silver's paladin.

Edolf asked the brochure because he had heard a lot of stories on the territory.

When did the monster become so terrified?

“Huh? Oh, about a month ago? The Letman incident was a sign three months ago, but it was so small that it fell apart."

Edolf nods at the announcement.

Monsters began to panic after White Silver's paladin arrived.

Incidentally, the timing is exquisite.

“Looks like something's happened here, too. That's why he's here. ”

“What's going on? Him?”

“Where is that adventurer now? ”

Edolf talks to the notice and grabs the parchment in his hand.

It's a text from the Irish 'Royal’.

I had to confront this Eltera-rated adventurer.

* *

“Cheers!"

It is called the Inn of Abundance.

A resting place where bard can play sweet music and spend hard days with the colonists.

There, I grabbed a glass of beer that only had a head, and I bumped into the one that Elise and Hans had.

Gulp! Gulp-!

I removed the lid of the helmet and took a cool sip of beer.

That's great!

It was good to get drunk, even if it fell compared to the taste of the Dwarves in the Hilda Territory.

“Haha! I knew it was Elise. You're so quick.You can't even breathe when Orcs are in a frenzy. ”

Elise shrugs at Hans' compliment and blushes.

And then he looked at me.

“But, Alan, what do we do next? ”

The tone of the voice is quite bright.

She enjoys this adventure.

It must have been a frustrating imperial life.

A rich life that learns about education and keeps its manners as a nobleman.

You must be excited to be free of it.

I am now reluctant to deal with old evil stories.

“Well, I'm thinking about taking a break now. ”

I solved it once a week

You may now have a reasonable rest.

Then another guest came to the inn.

The doorbell rings.

While drinking beer, I looked at the door of the inn.

A big adventurer.

I identified his traits as Siman.

Knowledge, integrity, crude power control, rapid growth.

An apprentice paladin?

When I thought about it, he looked around and found me.

“Alan Loops? ”

I looked at him.

“What's going on? ”

I've never seen him before.

There is a point in being able to use your sexual strength.

The man smiled and said.

“If I could just have a moment of your time, would you mind? ”

“Conversation?”

“Yes, it is. ”

Edolf took the parchment out of his arms and gave it to me.

“It's about a letter from the Royal Court of Iceland. ”

* *

There are seats available on the second floor of the inn.

A mercenary named Edolf was a veteran adventurer who used to be in charge of the Royal Quest.

And another Royal quest from Hadan.

It was to investigate me.

“Let me introduce myself first. My name is Edolf. Home is the Holy Father's Law Office. Also. ”

Edolf glanced at me and said.

“I worked for a year as a prisoner in the North, the Holy See. ”

That must be why the Royal Court commissioned Edolf to investigate me. He thought he had a contact with me.

“Well, after stealing a loaf of bread, the guilt just went up. ”

I drank a beer.

Edolf told me about his past.

“When I was working in the North like that, I saw a saint. He saved me from dying. ”

I tilted my head.

Help me?

“My stomach was ripped off and my magic was spreading to my organs and I was in danger of dying. However, the saint in the bird-beak mask gave me holy water. ”

Oh, the guy whose stomach split open and his eyes turned upside down?

You're alive. Just once in a lifeline.

I listened quietly to Edolf.

I ran out of booze and called the waiter.

“You shot muskets, shoveled shovels, and hunted the dead. always leading the way. ”

Something's not right.

I've never been one step ahead.

Shooting at Christmas from the top of the wall, hitting the wall that collapsed and falling back.

Looks like Edolf's memory has been dulled before his eyes.

At some point, Edolf speaks comfortably as if he were one of our own.

“I saw him hunt the Vampire Earl himself. For the soldiers, you lured the monster. ”

It's a pretty strange story to hear as a party.

In fact, I tried to ambush him, but I couldn't, so I ran away.

During the course of the story, Edolf raised the tone of a god or horse.

Elise and Hans were listening interestingly.

I felt overwhelmed by listening to the old stories, and shaken my hands and said,

“So what's the point? ”

“Oh, my God, I'm so sorry. The story leaks.”

Edolf scratches his head.

“I saw the Holy Water you made in the North. He built the holy water lake to stop the dead. Holy water at the time. It was like coming out of a subterranean tunnel. No, it looks more enhanced. ”

I don't know about anything else, but there were a lot of cases with ground water.

It was a simple autohunt. Who knew the Holy Undead would cleanse the whole place with groundwater?

The Crown Prince of the Holy See is in Iceland. It must be frightening for the Irish royal family.

That's why they're sending out an investigation.

Edolf doesn't turn to talk.

“I know it's rude, but I'll ask you straight away. Hey, Alan... ”

Edolf took a breath and looked at me.

His eyes were quite tense.

And he asked.

About me.

“The seventh prince of the Holy See, Alan Olfalls... ”

“I'm not.”

I smiled.

I took a sip of beer and dropped it on the table.

“Allen Loops, adventurer. ”

Edolf frowns.

For a moment, I smiled bitterly.

“... There must be a reason you say that. Then I'll tell the royal court that."

Edolf's convinced I'm the Seven.

He felt my holy water. I know my qualities as well as I have in the North.

“I will report that I have nothing to do with the Seven Patriarchs of the Holy See.... ”

“It's also mostly guns and shovels. You can talk about it. ”

Edolf's eyes widen.

He was confused.

I don't know whether I'm hiding my identity or revealing it.

“You can report it to the royal court as it is. ”

“... Just like that? Are you sure you want to?”

Edolf was cautious as if I were a savior.

If I say, 'Look at the lie,' I feel like I will.

I drank beer instead of an answer.

“... I understand. ”

Edolf stands up to see if he has accepted it positively.

However, he bowed his head to me.

“Oh, and it's too late, but thank you again... If you're investigating what happened in this territory, I'd like to help. Let me know if you need any help. ”

What's happening in this territory?

Is there such a thing?

I heard that the Adventurer's Guild Guide has been unusually noisy lately.

“No thanks, someone else would have saved me if I hadn't. ”

I shook my hand.

At that time, the priests did what they could to save even prisoners.

Using healing magic or cutting out organs and performing surgery or saving lives.

Edolf smiles bitterly.

“Even so, I've been blessed with a lifetime of service that I can't repay. ”

A favor you can't repay?

When I looked at Edolf, he said,

“Thanks to you, Alan. ”

Edolf smiles brightly with his hands on his chest.

At the same time, I opened my eyes wide.

“I was a humble prisoner...”

An oracle of pure white power in his hands.

“Now that I can use my power. ”

I remember sprinkling a bright light.
