Episode 47
“I can’t believe Joseph’s words were true.”
“Sometimes people do things they wouldn’t do.”
Albert couldn’t keep his mouth shut as he looked at the by-products of the Great Wolf King that Damian had brought.
At first glance, it was a huge wolf.
A leather that seemed to fill the floor of the village chief Albert’s house, and was large enough to cover an adult’s life.
In addition, Damian’s huge fangs were so large that it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were those of a rhinoceros, and Albert was able to recognize exactly what they meant.
“With this... I can even bite and kill a bear.”
Swoop!
As Albert said while examining the Great Wolf King’s fangs, it was unreasonable to define Joseph as the culprit in the yard where evidence of this level was scattered.
“I think it was hasty to accuse Joseph of being the culprit. short thought If I had looked at the Caliph Mountains with the villagers in advance, this wouldn’t have happened. My mistake.”
“Wouldn’t that be karma? It was also because the application was delayed because I was so remote.”
“That’s true, but... isn’t it a childish blue color? I don’t like it very much because I think I did something bad to her.”
At Damian’s words, Albert sat down on his chair, rubbing his wrinkled forehead.
It was because I felt relief and guilt at the same time.
The killing of the Great Wolf King will no longer cause any more sheep to be sacrificed, but it is morally wrong to detain Joseph, who had no connections, let alone relatives.
So, it was needless to say that Albert, the village chief, was not very happy about it.
It was true that he, too, was embarrassed.
“You can do well from now on. That friend doesn’t seem to be the type to dwell on such things either.”
“I hope so. Anyway, thank you. It’s all thanks to you.”
And the moment Albert sighed at Damian’s words and tapped him on the shoulder.
[Notice: The first adventurer’s guild mission has been cleared!]
[Notice: Return to the adventurer’s guild and report the mission!]
In front of Damian’s eyes, a system message telling him to return to the adventurer’s guild popped up with the contents of the mission complete.
It was a quest with many twists and turns.
“This is the reward I promised. It’s not enough... but the situation in the village is not good, so please understand.”
“Is it possible?”
“Whether or not what. Come anytime you want to come here. Because you are the hero who saved our village.”
“yes. Then let’s go.”
“I’ll look into it.”
When Damian was silent, Albert opened the door.
There was a lot to do.
From a proper apology to Josef to the damage suffered from the Great Wolf King over the past month and a meeting on how to manage the village in the future.
However, despite the scattered agendas to be dealt with, Albert felt that a desire not suitable for his age welled up from the bottom of his heart little by little.
“Adventurer-!!”
“hmm? Joseph?”
It was because Joseph, who had been released from detention before he knew it, was running along with the village middle-aged men who were guarding him.
“Pheh heh... already... are you going?”
“The wolf you mentioned has been slain. I had some problems along the way. There will be no more sheep disappearing.”
“Ah...”
“Don’t lie carelessly now. Listen carefully to what adults say. hit hard okay? There is an old saying that if you get caught lying, you lose your nails.”
“A hand...a head?”
“Anyway, there is such a thing, dude. Goes.”
“A certain adventurer!”
When Damian turned around, Joseph shouted.
It looked like it had something to say.
“What?”
“What is it, you human?”
Poof!
Eventually, Damian turned to Joseph and tilted his head along with the wad on his shoulder...
“Thank you so much for saving our village...!!”
Damian was able to confirm that a message from a strange sender had arrived at the same time as a system message appeared before his eyes.
“Wiz... entertainment?”
It was also a place I had heard of.
* * *
“It’s over.”
When communication was cut off, the man stood up.
It was a man wearing a black robe.
Because not even a handful of light shines through, it’s a dark room where you can’t tell where the men are and how far is pitch-black darkness.
– What are the results?
“...”
Then, at the sound of a voice echoing from behind him, the man raised his head and revealed the face hidden under his robe.
He was a strangely dressed man wearing an achromatic white mask with impressive blood-red eyes and tattoos running down his neck.
“It wasn’t very successful. Although he couldn’t control all of his body, he was able to induce battle at will. Sensory exchange became possible through the medium.”
– It’s remarkable.
“It would be great if I could rule without a mediator. I haven’t been able to get there yet.”
– It’s also what makes it.
The man looked down at his arm at the voice that filled the room.
There was a long way to go.
Controlling the body of a monster without any intermediary, and furthermore, creating a monster with great power.
The power that a man received from God was to dominate and control monsters, and he called it a kind of enlightenment.
Needless to say, the task the voice spoke of was the most important task of a lifetime.
Evangelism to spread the gospel of God!
That was the reason why he continued his research in a place that was no different from this abyss.
Shall we say, for example, an apostle?
The man thought that they, who did the will of God, were the chosen people who could be called true apostles.
– Oh my brothers.
“...Repent and praise with joy.”
– Heaven has come and the true savior will come to this earth.
“On the day that day comes, the sky will be split and the earth will be shaken.”
– He will defeat the bad things of this land and sweep them away like a handful of dust.
“Behold, a new era has arrived.”
– The day when the Messiah will come is not far.
“Fear not, brethren in the faith.”
– The Messiah is with us.
“The flame of salvation entrusted to us.”
– He will save us from false gods and his people
.
It was like reciting a scripture.
Evidence of the absolute faith of the brothers who share their will with the owner of the voice, including the man.
– A great plan is coming soon, Aleister. It is our mission to open the eyes of poor people and to remove the hidden side of the world of lies.
“Know.”
– Keep in mind that the things we prepared for that day are never less. Today’s work is just a confirmation of the progress of your strength, and it should be arranged without the slightest mistake.
“...”
As the voice faded away, a man called Aleister raised his head.
It was a calm look.
I couldn’t guess the expression because it was covered by the mask, but judging by the look in his eyes, I can guess that there was a bit of hard work in his face.
– Anything left to say? Aleister?
Eventually, as the distant voice resounded, Aleister turned his head toward the darkness and said,
“There’s one thing that’s going on.”
– What does it take?
“okay.”
It was because of the strange adventurer he saw through the test subject.
