Chapter 156: The Oracle (1)

Chapter 156: The Oracle (1)

Yamti inadvertently opened her mouth in shock.

The notion of killing an angel was that shocking.

It was something she had never even imagined.

Why kill an angel? she asked, bewildered.

Why not? Dont you feel like killing one?

No, I know angels are bad but

You mean, whats the benefit of killing them?

Yes.

Ryu Min chuckled lightly.

There is, indeed, a benefit.

If it was a matter of benefit, he had already received it during the first round.

He was the first to kill an angel, earning a title and runes for it.

Becoming a Grim Reaper was possible only because he had killed an angel.

The reason he hadnt killed any angels since then was purely because there were no benefits left to gain, not out of fear of punishment.

Of course, Im only talking about the regular angels.

Killing regular angels now yielded no rewards.

But battle angels were a different story.

The battle angel Ryu Min was aiming to bring down was in this place.

You just need to stand by and act when I tell you to control it. Got it?

Yes, Master.

Hurry up. We need to do this before Min Juris buff runs out.

The first time he killed a battle angel, the rewards scaled with his stats.

Thats why he wanted to do it before the buff expired.

Leading the way, Yamti scurried after him.

They soon arrived at the largest temple of Rubahi in the Holy Empire.

Ryu Min wasnt interested in the setting that this was where the god Rubahi was worshipped.

Whether it was real or fake, Ryu Mins interest was solely in summoning the angel.

Before even opening the temple doors, they were blocked by the waiting Holy Knights.

What brings you here, strangers?.

If they said they were here for a sub-quest, the NPCs would be puzzled.

To them, players were warriors from another realm, and terms like systems or quests were unknown.

Weve come in search of peace.

Is that so?

The knight withdrew his spear and cleared the way.

May you find the path you seek at Rubahis sanctuary.

Thank you.

The knight, unaware of what Ryu Min might do, stared straight ahead again.

Yamti followed quietly behind Ryu Min like a puppy.

Deciding not to return the money, the priest laughed heartily for a while.

Of course, Ryu Min had a reason for offering such a large sum.

The easiest sub-quest I can complete right now is [Making an Offering].

Sure enough, the expected message appeared in front of him.

Condition Make an offering of at least 1 million gold to the temple

[You have completed the sub-quest!]

[Human reputation of Black Scythe has risen from Neutral to Friendly.]

There are countless sub-quests in this fantasy world.

Just in the Holy Empire alone, there are about 30.

Using the ability to regress dozens of times, I searched and strategized each sub-quest.

As a result, he established the most optimal quests and routes, one of which was this one.

If you have enough money, you can complete the quest in one second.

However, it was impossible for other players at this time due to the large amount of 1 million gold.

Ryu Mins reputation had risen for this reason.

Thank you so much for your generous donation. May Rubahis grace always be with you. Hahaha!

Thank you. But I dont like to speak in vain. Id rather receive the blessing directly from the deity.

Directly?

Ryu Min spoke in a suggestive tone.

An oracle.

The Rubahi temple is known to communicate with the deity through oracles. It would be an honor to receive a blessing directly from the deity.

It was a well-known fact that one could receive an oracle at the temple.

However, no one except the highest leader of the Holy Empire, the Emperor, was entitled to receive an oracle.

This perhaps explained the troubled smile on the priests face.

You may not know this since its your first visit, but only the Emperor can receive an oracle. Faithless believers cannot.

Even though Ive made an offering of 1 million gold?

Even so, its impossible. An outsider like you seeking contact with the deity The Emperor would be furious if he heard.

Then return the gold I gave.

Asking for the money back seemed petty, but Ryu Min brazenly held out his hand.

However, the priest was not easily intimidated.

Its a principle not to return offerings that have been received.

Im asking for it back.

If you have a complaint, talk to the temple knights outside. Theyll kindly escort you to jail.

Threatened not to push any further, Ryu Min gave up.

Cant help it then.

His attempt at persuasion ended there.

Yamti. Take control.
