78 Lesson seventy-five: Sabari (1)

The city where the holy people live their daily lives is very cumbersome in urban design, unlike the impression that it comes from the name of the city of God.

This does not mean that such a design was intentionally carried out, but it is due to the fact that the city itself is complicated by the fact that various parts of the city have been expanded, renovated, repaired and redesigned since the old times.

The same pathology holds true here, the largest city in Southern China during the Old Quoria Period, which became the capital of Renéa God Kitakyokuni.

Even if you go to a residential area or a former commercial area, it is difficult to make a mistake in one of the alleys that turns into the opposite direction, and it seems that there are roads that even locals who are supposed to be geographically bright do not know.

Such a winding alley.

The fjord, a senior holy knight and head of the Order, was visited by residents living in the neighborhood in a dim and creepy place surrounded by two-story residences where the sunlight did not shine.

"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." "Cayman Medical Priest"

"Oh, this is the Commander of the Order of the Holy Knights of the Fjord.I've been waiting for you. "

The oldest man among several priests who were present at the scene replied, and when he turned his gaze to us from something on the ground, he stood up and gave a deep thank you.

He is a medical priest named Cayman, who is in charge of this diocese.

... Medical priests refer primarily to those engaged in medical work within Qualia, and those who continue to do the same work here in Renéa.

Proud of their in-depth knowledge of the diseases and injuries that afflict people, they have previously followed instructions from the center and are now engaged in various medical activities in the country as directed by the saints.

They occupy quite a special position among the clergy, and their duties are diverse because they are professions that require a very high level of knowledge.

Midwifery guidance from general practice.Testing for toxicity and spoilage of foodstuffs distributed on the market.

In this long peaceful era, there are few precedents, but in times of war they may serve as military doctors.

And there was another job that was important to them.

Is this an example?

"Yes, I am a man who has traveled to God."Please pray that this person may have eternal peace..... "

A dead body that barely carburizes to the point where its original shape is barely known.

It was also their job to take samples of corpses that had died unnatural deaths for various reasons.

“Of course, I'm sorry.”

Following the words, the priests and the Paladins accompanying the fjord quietly closed their eyes.

Honoring the dead and guiding their souls is their duty to believe in the Holy God Aarus.

The prayers and sacraments of the priests flow strictly, so that they pass away to God without hesitation.

Eventually, the simple funeral by the fjord is over, and the nodding ceremony ends without anyone.

The fjord quietly opened its eyes, staring at the burnt body with a strong sense of justice, and continued to say, "Nevertheless."

"... it's too bad. What the hell is going on?"

"There are fractures due to bruising all over the body and lacerations due to blades.On top of that, the whole body is burned alive with incredible flames.I don't think it's human work to do something like this. ”

It was rather close to the work of monsters.That's what the intuition of the fjord said, but it never uttered words that provoked anxiety.

That means that evil lurks in this city enough to destroy a single human so far.

Suddenly, the fjord looked around.I noticed that there were no burn marks except for the corpse.

"The scene of the murder... isn't it here?"

"I've never heard of a technique that makes people carbonate this much in a limited way.Destroyed many demons, and the various evil ones can see what a knowledgeable Knight Commander would look like? ”

"I'm sorry. With me, there's nothing like this..."

I had some idea if I was a user of fire magic.I didn't even know that monsters spit out flames.

But so far the mighty have been outside the knowledge of the fjords of men and women.

Not only that, the fjord cannot help but feel tormented by the anomaly seen in this corpse.

All the scorching marks were visible, but his eyes never missed the traces of his body, which would have been destroyed with unimaginable force.

Fi, Commander of the Fjord!

Where should I start?It takes time to take into account roughly unexpected developments, often in combination with fjords accustomed to dealing with problematic matters.

Sewing up the silence, one of the young Paladins who accompanied him shouted, changing his blood.

"What? I know you're surprised by the sight, but you're in front of the body."Keep it a little quieter. "

"Well, he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he... he

The expression that I checked by looking back lightly was just a surprise.

But the fjord is not uncomfortable with his agitation.I'm inexperienced when I'm young, and above all, the victim is the problem in this case.

"That's right..."

"Who is this corpse holy knight!?"

The body belonged to the Holy Knight.

The body, which was carbonized and burned to such an extent that it could not be distinguished even by its sex, was exposed to prison flames, and the holy knight's armor, which still retained some of its original shape, eloquently spoke of the person's affiliation.

A sword and shield for the wicked.The followers of the holy god Aaros and his kingdom are the ones in battle of great trust.An overwhelmingly powerful holy knight is lying dead on the spot.

But who is he?Who was the victim?

There was not enough information here to know it.

"There is nothing left to discern."The only remaining is the partially dissolved Holy Knight Armor.Such a brave and fierce, fearless holy knight would do such a thing..... "

In response to a question similar to the scream of a young holy knight, the Cayman medical priest changes and opens his mouth.

But his lips trembled slightly, and he seemed to have no idea how to judge the terrible things.

Thereafter, the fjord, together with the medical priest, performs some measurements.

I checked to see if there were any items left or if there was anything that could confirm the identity, but I didn't know.

In particular, the face seems to have been carefully destroyed, and it is not known whether it was intentional or not, but it makes it even more difficult to identify the deceased.

The only fact that was discovered was that the victim was perhaps an intermediate to advanced Paladin, a fact that underscored the gravity of the situation.

The intermediate Paladin is said to be as strong as the lower dragon when it comes to Rich and the advanced Paladin.

From the state of the body damage, I don't think it was the result of a common presence, so I have no choice but to think that some horrible creature has entered this city.

Or maybe it was some sort of organization... "

"Please take the body to the parish church morgue.No, it may be difficult, but I will continue to ask for an autopsy.In addition, if you know anything, please contact this fjord directly. "

Okay, I swear to God.

"I hope it doesn't matter..."

Hatred. An unknown demon. An assassin from another country.Various possibilities are conceivable.

Renéa Daikoku is still in a precarious position.

What kind of trials does God intend to give under such circumstances?

And the fjord went unto the cathedral to report unto the saints the sight of the incident, with an unspoken anxiety.
