Chapter 646

The expression of someone who is pleased but cannot openly show it was clearly visible on his face.

It was only after fully enjoying the look of respect cast by Kijung that Leeha addressed the palace guards.

Cough, introductions are over. I was merely doing what needed to be done, after all. For the peace of the continent

To carry on the will of the Nameless Paladin, we salute the Templar!

It was nothing more than effort Huh?

Leehas expression changed as he began to reply. Directed at whom? Only then did Leeha properly look at the faces of the palace guards.

Their gaze was not on Leeha.

SaluteSword!

The palace guard at the door, with his sword raised in front of him, was looking directly at Kijung.

Welcome! Guardian of the Sanctuary, Master Kay!

Accompanying his greeting, all the cathedral guards around the Vatican, united in spirit and purpose, ceremoniously greeted Kijung. Even the players wandering around the Vatican were wondering what was happening, given the resonant shouts. The biggest beneficiary of the recent [Sanctification Quest] was not Leeha.

Nor was it the players who stopped by the Vaticans treasure vault to claim their items.

It was Master Kay, a descendant of the Nameless Paladin, who had suddenly risen to a high-ranking position in the Vatican.

Oh, uh, yes.

However, the biggest beneficiary was struggling to grasp the situation.

I initially came just to receive the quest rewards, but

Leeha sighed in the Vaticans treasury vault. The treatment was vastly different than expected. While inspecting various items, none particularly appealed to him, nor could he concentrate properly because he was worried about Kijung.

Kijung: Hey, hyung! What do I do with this? Where did you go?

Leeha: I dont know. Youre a Templar, right? Throw out some words the Pope would like.

Kijung: No, its this side Ahhh, its driving me crazy. I came to look at items with you!

Kijung hadnt received any items yet because he wanted to discuss various things with Leeha in the treasury. But Kijung was no longer beside Leeha.

Kijung, who was receiving VIP treatment, was having a one-on-one conversation in the Popes audience chamber.

Still, its family first, right? No matter my achievements, Ive never been treated that way.

Leeha recalled the recent turn of events.

As he followed the cathedral guards without escort Leeha trailed behind them willingly approaching the moment to be granted an audience with the Pope, the Pope ran out of his seat to welcome Kijung.

The second coming of the Nameless Paladin. Its as if our Lord Ahlo has never ceased to extend His guiding hand to us. Come hither, Master Kay.

The scene of the Pope, tears welling in his eyes, embracing Kijung left Leeha speechless from incredulity.

Would he have reacted like this even if I had vanquished Bluebeard head? Well, its nice to be welcomed like that but

Leeha had his own reasons for not being able to join the conversation between the Pope and Kijung, and why Kijung had declined the Popes invitation to join him.

The same story came up again! Something about a Holy Knight or so!

Holy Knight.

The Pope had mentioned to Kijung, currently a Templar, in passing. He said someone as noble as Kijung was fully qualified to be a holy knight fighting for the Church of Lord Ahlo.

Leeha missed hearing the part about being noble due to bursting into laughter, but he had no trouble grasping Kijungs expression and the nuance of the Popes words afterward.

Is it a second class change?

Does this even make sense?

Along with this thought, another crossed Leehas mind, Well, it would make sense in Middle Earth.

Not only was the description of the item ridiculously serious, but what was truly astonishing was its effect.

Just like how Leeha was amazed, these were indeed hero-grade items with a serious effect.

This effect wait, hold on.

Leeha tried on Kojobus glasses. There seemed to be no noticeable change to him.

What if this actually works?

Then he took off the glasses. Leeha hastily summoned Jellypong.

Jellypong!

[Mongmong?]

Hehehe

[Combat Mode: Melee]!

[Bong!]

Swoosh

The jelly-like creature that was clinging to Leehas body and disguised as a vest instantly separated. From a lump of slashed slime, arms sprouted forth in moments.

Jellypongs numerous arms, not only taking on various forms of weapons but also embodying their sharpness.

Leeha, looking at Jellypong, nodded.

Perfect! Lets go with this!

[Mya, mongmong?]

If were not looking for a coat with good defense or shoes that increase movement speed at this late time, and its not going to be sold at the auction, then I should use it because effect is more important than grade, right?

[Miyaw]

Jellypong nodded its head with a troubled look.

Being an item-type creature that didnt fully understand everything Leeha said, agreeing was pretty much all it could do.

[You have acquired [The Glasses of the Spy Hero, Kojobu].]

Thats how Leeha received the reward for the [Sanctification] quest.

It was a couple of hours later that Kijung, looking troubled, appeared before Leeha.

Leeha and Kijung moved to the Holy Grill in Gaza City.

He wanted to inquire about various information and it was also time to do some inner-work maintenance after a while.

Besides, where else would be better to share secretive talks than in an information space that is on your side?

At least here, even if keywords related to the second job transfer were to leak, Ju wouldnt be selling information that could harm Leeha.

Why do you look like youre about to die? You should be jumping for joy.

Haah Its just, its not as easy as it sounds. It feels like a lot of pressure.

The fact that the cooking was excellent was a bonus.

Kijung let out a sigh as he dug into the well-cooked rabbit meat steak with gusto, devouring it in a single bite.
