13 Episode XIII: omens (1)

Southern Province of Holy King Qualia. A large city when state functions are concentrated.

One saint walked inside the cathedral in a blatant (perhaps) manner in a city characterized by a barn zone utilizing fertile (often) lands.

"Hey, Rhonias! Rhonias! Are you there!?

"Yes, what is it, Holy Knight, Master Verdell?"

One man entered the prayer hall with the van and the door open rampantly. There is no product on the face and it is obviously coarse.

Instead, you are luxurious to Kabi.

The Holy Kingdom has the title of Holy Knight at the top of the ranks of the common soldier.

Here in Qualia, a religious state where the Holy King, the bishop, guides the country, it is even said that every nation practises the same religion and prays to God every day, and that 30% of the people will come to some sort of priesthood.

Such a country, naturally, also deepens the religious colour of the power held by the state. It is they who are the holy knights who are deeply popular and trustworthy in such a way.

Present from advanced to lower levels, they are a well-chosen elite through rigorous training and exams, with emphasis on martial arts as well as various disciplines and skill proficiencies and, more importantly, on households.

The Holy Knight, who can use the work of miracles even though he is not as good as the Virgin as a fact, is an elite man who must be for the nation.

It is usually deployed throughout the country to solve domestic problems that require force, as well as occasional warcraft and subhuman crusades and VIP protection.

That is the presence of the Holy Knight.

This man is characterized by such irresistible training and steel-like spiritual strength, by human morality sufficient to guide the people with the priesthood, and, more importantly, by crude behaviour in the priesthood, which is supposed to require the baptism of God.

He was a senior knight named Verdell.

Saint Rhonias, who was praying in the prayer hall, looks back quietly at Verdell as he walks in with Gasha Gasha and Knight Armor.

"This is where I offer my prayers to God. Please be quiet, Master Verdell."

"It's the Southern Continent! The South, by the way! Why should I go where the savages live?

"But if we succeed in this task, we should also remember better from Congress. More importantly, it has never been more honorable than the one you gave yourself, Soarena, the Virgin of China."

"Hmm, what do you say..."

The Saint Knight Verdell defiledly summoned the most dissatisfied words of the opening.

Unlike Verdell, which is characterised by the lack of objects that cannot even be kept on the wind of the Holy Knight, the opposing Rhonias is just graceful. He is an exemplary man of the Holy Knight, characterised by a frank face and a regiment-designated uniform dressed with bisilli that also gives a sense of the strength of the core in the serenity.

Such a Saint Knight Rhonias is so good at being a word directed at him by Verdell.

The cursed forest, the Great Curse Realm, which exists in the southern part of the continent of Idraggia, part of it.

The story of the Virgin Soarena being entrusted with a disaster in the land and issuing an investigation decree had reached him more recently.

Initially he planned to organize a fact-finding team as the center, but he was questioned by the fact that his arrival at forming an additional Saint Knight from a sudden lack of combat power came from above.

It is a testament to the fact that certain thoughts are working that this man, who has a lot of poor bare behavior and problematic behavior and a suspicion about an unacceptable act as a holy knight, has come here and been screwed.

The Holy Kingdom is full of all sorts of thoughts.

I don't usually know what I'm thinking once even a behaving priest or an innocent white Sister turns back. Is it a problem because of a huge organization, or is it people's business...

All that honor will be taken to Verdell for the success of this investigation mission as well. If something goes wrong or fails, of course, it's your responsibility.

Strength is not that good of a family member, and Lonias, still a junior saint knight, stops, bites his inner teeth.

That said, it's not that bad to have the Holy Knight Verdell join us.

I would never have gone beyond that if his participation would have increased his survival. Verdell is a senior saint when it comes to turning. Strength is guaranteed.

Rhonias feels his mind has become a little lighter when it was his first investigative mission in a region outside the country and was raising anxiety about the Virgin Project.

Above all, we care about ourselves. I'm not talking about losing my life in a hurry for merit.

A beloved wife and newborn daughter emerge behind Rhonias' brain.

I guess this is God's call too. He was of a faithful character.

"So, to what extent do we turn our power to the investigation? Verdell, your help means we can borrow quite a few soldiers from the South..."

"No, they say that's just us... and after that, we've come from the great congressman who wants to replace the soldiers by hiring mercenaries"

"... what? Why such"

"Know what!? Damn it! There's no telling the mercenaries! Besides, he's always been caught up in the northern commotion. What are you going to do?

Totally agreed. But unlike Verdell, Rhonias, tied to the chains of reason, does nothing to arouse and scatter.

Instead, rotate your head rapidly until you do the best you can.

"Leave that to me, Master Verdell. I have an old friend who is close to a mercenary regiment. Let's see if we can arrange something."

"Hmm? Lonias, do you have a handover? I don't know what to do! That helped. Then do me a favour!

"Yeah, I got it."

Lonias pounding and coughing up his back with Bassin and momentum.

Verdell leaves with a lavish laugh without caring for him like that.

Problems with character, but not a bad one.

I also felt I could see why he was liked by some clergy.

But...... Rhonias turns his mind around the matter.

(Dear Virgin Soarena is currently under the jurisdiction of the Northern Province of Qualia. If a commissioned investigation directive were issued, it would originate in the northern states. However, the subject, the Great Curse Realm, is the southern region of Idraggia - commonly known as the Southern Continent. Preparation is in charge of the nearest Qualia Southern State...... I see, lateral spear of the Southern State Assembly)

Quietly praying, overlapping with silence.

(No other Virgin can move more from the point of view of national defense than Soarena, the Virgin of China, is doing well in the North. On the contrary, there have been rumours that the "Virgin of Kafu" will be sent as reinforcements.... Not if I'm wearing this inner circle)

The disturbances in the Northern States are increasing in scale day by day.

Harmful Subman, Warcraft, and Various Anomalies. It is unusual to tie history to the fact that the main force of the Order of the Holy Knights is stupidity and that two of the four Virgin Marys held by the Holy King Qualia will also be needed.

Rhonias feels unspeakable about that fact.

(Coming of Disaster by Shinto. The Virgin Project... I wish I could go home safely)

Saint Rhonias began to offer his prayers to God again, as if to undo the anxiety he had in his chest.

◇ ◇ ◇

"'The Human Meat Tree' was completed as planned. We also have a pantry, so we can manage the food in our King Minoghura capital in bulk."

Emr, a dark elf woman, deputy to Warrior Chief Gear, was reporting progress on a construction plan to Atu with a creepy tree that forested before her eyes.

A few months have passed since the other meeting.

The "Human Meat Tree" was already in the process of completion, and its operation went well to see the concomitant pantry, management building, workers to and from.

The only problem was its creepy appearance and the nature of the tree, which was also tantamount to harassment that I would understand as "eating human flesh" just because I ate it, but creatures are surprisingly familiar and although confusion initially occurred, there are no particularly big problems nowadays.

In addition to reporting on the current situation, Atu, who has consulted and reported on detailed improvements to the facility, as well as future operational policies, gives a nodding and satisfying look over and over again.

"Fine. Fine. The production of food on agricultural land seems to be going well, and you have no problem with food in the form of keeping it on track. Then when you are finished building your home as planned, start building your royal palace in earnest."

Basically, Tact and Atu, the kings, are always trying to communicate their will.

The king has the ability to look over the entire nation, and if he cares about it, he can contact the individual directly.

But is it because they transferred at the same time? Tact has a strong connection to special atu, and can unconsciously exchange opinions and share information, even if they are away.

This is why Atu was the main provider of audits and instructions for such facilities.

The Dark Elves thought most things would be resolved if they asked her, and on the contrary, they deserved disrespect for asking the King all kinds of details.

Either way, Atu, the perfect squire who fully understands the King's will, also inadvertently.

Rather, she was the type to do relatively inadvertently.

Same thing this time.

Looking around with chirali, Emr decides his will.

Being a deputy to the Warriors, but in a position of secretary and transmission coordinator from that amount of knowledge and position, she speaks horribly of the doubts she has always been concerned about.

"Oh, uh... Lord Atu?

"Yes, what is it, Emr?

"We didn't hear anything about this..."

Softly, a white, elongated finger that regains its blood color points to the township with some more civilized buildings from just the settlement.

Planned felled trees, groups of aerial dwellings built like hives utilizing the remaining giant trees and their branches.

The ground is sprouted with delineated agricultural land and food planted there.

Simple defensive fences, wells, etc. were also built, a residential area that had become more in shape as a city, but there were too many strange points.

Yes. Previous forests disappeared, and instead there was a sight that could only be described as evil.

Planned leftover giant trees have distorted twists, and leaves are somehow mixed with horrible colors.

The same goes for the ground, and the grass trees get disgusting shapes, somehow full of thin smoke all over the city.

The water gushing from the well is obviously a shade unsuitable for drinking, and it even makes me anxious to see young dark elves bathing flat nearby.

Speaking of solids, their new homeland was horribly perverted. That's not bad either.

"Huh? Was I? Ugh, that's rude."

Atu, who laughs and deceives all the time at Aya.

There is nothing more surprising now that Emr is also accustomed to the inadvertent obedience of this evil king, but we still only have to ask what the situation is with this forest.

"No, that's good though. Why is the forest like this? Or are you okay with this..."

"Yes, you have all become evil by becoming a people of Mynogura. Well, honestly, you don't feel much of a difference or anything, but the change is due to the king's royal glory. And that power goes not only to the people, but also to the land."

"Well, that's this view..."

That was the answer that was briefly explained.

In other words, the land naturally becomes evil, because the people become evil. That's the argument I said.

Never before have we had a real feeling that we had become evil, Emr manages to embrace that fact, albeit flashly.

"It's called 'Cursed Land'. It basically works in favor of the existence of evil attributes and has disadvantages for the existence of neutral attributes and goodness. It's a wonderful land for defense."

"Wow... that? But. Works in favor of evil attributes, right?

Her doubts were natural, too.

If we have become evil ourselves, this land must also have some positive effect.

Despite this, her sentiment is "what the hell is this creepy" and I honestly don't feel very good about it. Of course, it's a good influence.

Atu smiles softly, having already assumed that question as well.

"Now take a deep breath to try"

"Huh? Yes! Whoa, whoa!

"How about that?

"I feel so refreshed against the atmosphere...... kind of like it builds strength too?

"That is proof that you are evil. Well, I don't know much about my changes."

try to hold my own hand firmly with a more impressive look Emr.

With that said, the other day I became a tree of human flesh - I ate human flesh, but no more disgust arose than I had imagined. I'd rather say, "Wouldn't it taste better to simmer it carefully because it's a little tense?" What a thought.

Atu said he doesn't know for himself if he becomes surprisingly evil.

That may indeed be the case.

If you think about it, don't you think you can take this view out? Instead, she really prefers a quiet atmosphere that won't be invaded by anyone in a way.

I was convinced it was something like this, Emr.

She seemed poisoned with a lot of things, too.

"There's just a problem... this is obviously noticeable..."

I'm convinced there's a new problem with her. That's what Atu said from his mouth.

Emr accidentally said, "That would be so!" The reply goes down to my throat and I swallow it unexpectedly.

If this is such a massively heterogeneous space, it can't be inconspicuous from the outside.

Fortunately, the land is in the Great Curse Realm. Huge forests will be a cover for a while, but that is not the case if the state prospers and there is more territory.

Exposing our presence to the outside world means that there will be so much more crisis.

It would be more despicable if such an evil appearance were made.

"Whatever it is, it is inevitable that sooner or later our presence will be known to the outside world. Enjoy the life in front of you to the fullest rather than worrying about the details!

"You threw it because there's nothing you can do"... I can't say, Emr.

The opponent is superior in bending, and more importantly, in the belly of the king.

Nowhere is there a reason why you can work disrespect because you talk to me easily.

And how much did you deny her words, and Emr's own solution didn't come to mind?

Then Atu is right. It would be somewhat better to give up spa and look at other things.

As I said earlier, sooner or later our presence will be public.

At least the presence of the great king, Ira-Takt, is not small enough to stay safe in secret.

I just wasn't anxious about Emr.

Ira-Takt, king of the end to destroy the world.

Its presence gives her infinite relief and its subordination, Atu, gives them visions of a future in which the enemies of Minoghura will perish.

How fortunate and how happy our own species are.

She entrusts herself to an infinite sense of trust with laughing and putting children in front of her, young people who work in labor, warriors who encourage training - looking at her own people.

That said, I have a pile of things to do for my country and my king.

As Emr turned his mind to the day to come, he now vowed once again to do all that he could.

[Erosion Oriented] Country Oriented

-The territory of the state changes to "cursed land"

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

~ ~ The world will come to a time of doom, and eventually all will be cursed by evil armies ~

Erosion orientation is one of the national orientations that leaders of evil attributes can have.

It has the characteristic of transforming it into a "cursed land" mainly about the territory of the state.

Cursed land has a disadvantage for civilized units of good attributes, and for evil attributes it has a benefit.

Behind its evil, it can be described as an orientation towards home affairs and defence.
