50 Episode 49: Merte Relief

Three days since I came to the village of Merte. The situation surrounding the village was improving rapidly.

Not only did he pay sickness with the fruit of Jiraio-Okus, but the anxiety disappeared from the villagers as the cause of the plague became clear.

I'm sick. You don't have to worry about unnecessary anxiety if you know that the village has not been attacked by an inevitable epidemic but by poison in river water.

Use a well when drinking water. I do not eat river fish. Children do not swim in the river. With such measures, there will be no more sick people.

However, even if there are no more sick people, it takes time to recover the poisoned person. And it's not just humans that are affected by poison.

For example, soil.

Regarding agriculture, it cannot be said that "water from rivers is not used." If you block the waterways, the crops in the fields die out across the board. You have to keep going.

Nevertheless, because the water contains poisons, it is likely that the crops will contain poisons. Can the harvested crop be eaten? Is it possible to include food that might be poisonous as a tax even if you can eat it, or sell it in town and replace it with gold?

Earlier crops could die due to poison. It is quite possible that the poison left in the soil will affect crops from next year.

In this sense, the impact of the emergence of the basilisk has been wide-ranging, and some have said that the full-fledged impact will only begin.

That's where my turn comes.

What we just said was predictable.

And if you are predicting, it is a person that prepares for it.

Physical strength In addition to the fruit of Jiraio-Okusu, he brought a lot of holy water for the sick and for purifying the soil.

Loan Both were received at the Temple of the Earth Mother God.

Where the connection with the Earth Mother God was made was a request for salting out the guild that was cleared up earlier. One of them said, "I hear a scream every night from the communal cemetery near the orphanage. I want you to do something."

Exorcist I used Banshee, the main screamer, but this connection made me connect with the temple of the Earth Mother, the parent of the orphanage. This time, we purchased a large amount of holy water using it.

Physical Strength Well, honestly, I don't know if holy water is effective against the venom of the rotted sea.

However, the earth mother god is the goddess of the earth as its name suggests. Speaking of the holy water created in the temple, villagers will believe in the effect. That leads to their mental stability-I think, maybe.

Abandonment At least, no one will lose the field and fall for a thief.

"Really, I've taken care of everything ..."

It was Priest Sarah who bowed as if he was so afraid.

There is no inn in a remote village, and I rent a room in the church and sleep there. Inevitably, he and his priest, who is in charge of the church, live under one roof.

However, we are not alone. There are several other people living in this church besides me and the priest.

Who is it?

"Sorry, let's go to feed the dragon soon!"

"Let's go!"

"I'm going!"

The three children who have been attached to the priest are complaining with their voices.

They are all children from villages who have lost their parents and live in churches as orphans with no other neighbors.

Since they came to this village, they have not been prepared to drop Ilia at all, because they are all over the place. I want to talk more slowly with Priest Sarah.

In the last three days, I hunted the hunted prey that I caught with Clau Solas-the nearby mountain deer and wild boars-and acted like a mountain for each meal in the revenge that hindered me. ing.

It's good to eat tightly and eat fat and fat. You're too thin in the first place.

――Hide the evil insides neatly, and I responded cheerfully to the children.

"Yes, okay, okay, but so much Wiba-do you like dragons?"

"I like it! It's so cool! I'll become a dragon knight in the future!"

"Me too!"

"me too!"

"That's me too!"

"A priest over there"

When I stared at Sarah, who raised her hands with the children, she was pretty tilted.

Yeah, a woman with eighteen daughters doesn't look like a child!

Anyway, if you don't look good, you'll have trouble reacting to it!

Physical strength Priest Sarah's complexion is much better than she was three days ago. At one time, all the sick people who had overflowed throughout the church had returned home, so they could have had enough rest. It seems that it works even if I hand it.

With the recovery of his physical strength and the disappearance of his eyes and cheeks, Priest Sarah began to glimpse his true nature when his face disappointed.

His gentleness and modestness seemed to be his first impression, but the Holy God priest had a fairly mischievous face, just as he did now. Well, maybe it's just for kids.

After that, we took us out of the village.

Needless to say, the dragon the kids were talking about was Claus Solas.

Like Ishka, Wyvern was popular in the village of Merte. The dragon knight seems to be longing even in remote villages.

As expected, I was not allowed to enter the village, but I was granted permission to use the vacant lot behind the village, so I was waiting there.

Klau Soras is still trying to become a human other than me, and willingly threatens even if the other person approaches.

The trio knew that, so they wanted to come with me. Crow Solas, when I am, is slightly better per person.

Admitting my appearance, the trio shines when I see Wyvern happily flapping his wings.

As usual, trying to give the apricot fruit, I suddenly came up with a little tribe and handed the apricot. Next, he beckoned Clau Solas and signaled by eye that he knew.

…… The service seems to be a bit overdone, but when the three-member church was like a hospital, she was running around with the help of Priest Sarah.

I see it with my own eyes. Now that the situation has calmed down, even if you do a little distraction, the bee won't hit.

You can also earn points for Priest Sarah, who still smiles and watches her children!

Craw Solas was squeaking with disgust as the feeding spree moved from me to the children. And hold it down with your eyes.

Although the word is just right, the hunting prey was impressive. In a village, I heard that the number of sightings of orcs has increased recently.

Apparently, it seems to have flowed from the southern territory of the Holy Kingdom, and it is highly likely that a settlement has been established near the border.

If you search from the sky, you can easily find the location of the base. It would be a good prey for hunting.

Goblins and orcs have a good sense of smell and are more likely to appear in weakened towns and villages. If left alone, the village around here could be attacked.

A few more days until Iria arrives. I was surprised that Ilia came back at noon the same day, thinking that it would be an affordable opponent to gain the villagers' favor.

Apparently he bought a horse himself and rushed in, not a carriage. Thinking calmly, Iria is the same sixth-level adventurer as Lars. One horse thinks that there is enough reserve to buy.

Church Ilia sees me breaking with the children because of nostalgia, and I make three with my eyes and mouth.

Maybe after about three seconds, you'll be shouted, "Why are you here ?!"

By the way, what did you say?

I started assembling words to soothe Ilia in my head.
