The paladin does not back down
The inn Doug introduced was pretty good. I was worried that I would introduce a place that was too luxurious, but it is a very hygienic building with 5 fairy tales per night. Surprisingly, each room has a toilet connected to the sewer. Compared to using public toilets in Bimarun, it is like heaven.
“Then I will go. There is also a branch of Hackman Company in Scanden, so if you have any problems, please visit us.”
“All right. Thank you so much.”
The two shook hands and parted coolly. After Hyeon-jun got a room, he headed straight to the adventurer’s guild. It’s still morning. If you’re lucky, you’ll be able to find and complete even simple quests in the guild.
Hyeonjun walked leisurely to familiarize himself with the surrounding roads. Seeing the kids running around feels kind of sweet. Proof that it is a good city. If they can’t afford to live, they take their children and make them do chores. It is the dignity of a royal order.
As I entered the guild, I met the eyes of the guild staff I had just spoken to. Hyeonjun nodded lightly, and the staff greeted each other with a smile. Looking around, I saw a line of bulletin boards lined up on one of the walls, so I went there. The request form is endlessly attached. Class A is in the center, and the more you go to class F, the more numerous F-class and E-class adventurers are in the corners.
Hyeon-jun went to the bulletin board with the F-level request and broke through the people. The F-class adventurers glared at Hyeon-jun, who pushed them with ignorant power, but they immediately managed to control their anger well after seeing the armament.
“Damn it, it seems like a high rank, but go do something that suits you.”

I heard someone muttering from hiding among the people, but I ignored it and pushed right up to the bulletin board. Even though everyone was babbling about it because of that power, they eventually moved away.
‘If possible, you should receive a request that can obtain karma. It would be nice to subdue monsters or bandits.’
Hyunjoon scanned the bulletin board. From requests to find workers at a construction site to bar staff and sewer cleaning. It is a fully staffed office. Then, I finally found a request to subdue the goblins. This is a request to subdue a group of goblins near Scanden. They say they will leave tomorrow morning and hire 10 F-class adventurers. The request is 10 Dong per person. I can’t think of the days when I was hunting goblins in Bimarn. That’s not a bad amount either.
Hyeon-jun checked the request and went to the window, but one request caught his eye.
[Find the missing child]
-Karios Temple.
-Find a missing child in the slums of the South. For details, please contact the temple.
– 3 fairy tales.
It’s a request from the temple. I want to help because the Karios Temple has the grace I received, but I can’t afford it. Even though they say they can afford money right away, they cannot accept a request to find a missing child that may end at any time for three fairy tales. Unfortunately, it was the moment when I turned my head for the goblin subjugation request.
Tring!
Hyunjoon was startled and stopped. it’s a quest
[quest]
Completed the quest to find a missing child in the slums.
Reward: Favor of the Temple
In case of failure, the store is unavailable.
Hyeonjun glared at the text that appeared in front of him. Until now, I thought it was a kind of tutorial because it only told me to collect and use karma. I thought of it like a game. However, it is embarrassing to suddenly be asked to perform a mission. And, in fact, it is a command. If it fails, it is said that the use of the store is blocked. It is a quest that cannot be refused.
‘sh*t. Should I give them a hefty reward?’
The reward is also ambiguous. God’s favor. would that help? And how much favor you might show. Isn’t it nice to just smile?
‘sh*t···.’
Still have to do it If you block the store, you have no choice but to stop growing. Hyeon-jun tried to calm his boiling anger and pushed people away and headed for the window.
“excuse me.”
“yes. You’re back soon.”
“Because I’m in F grade, I have to work to make ends meet.”
Hyeonjun went to the guild employee he had just greeted. Still, since we know each other’s faces and greeted each other with a smile, I thought it would be better than people who don’t know each other at all. The employee glanced at Hyeon-jun’s armament, which had changed in a moment, but said nothing.
“I’m going to do a quest to find the missing child of the Karios Temple, but I’m new to Scanden, so I don’t know where the temple is.”
“Oh, that request?”
The employee opened his eyes and asked again. Originally, I would have just told them the location of the temple, but since Hyeon-jun behaved politely, I wanted to continue the story for no reason. He is tall and has good skin. His face is a little exotic, but his eyes are big and his features are clear, so he is masculine and very handsome. It seems that he is well armed and has money, so he naturally likes it. In fact, Hyun-jun did not know that his face had changed to become more balanced. Since coming here, I have never looked in the mirror.
“yes. It’s kind of embarrassing.”
It’s because of the quest, but it’s not exactly wrong. It is because there is also a liking for the Karios Temple and a pity about the disappearance of the child.
“thank god. It’s already been three days, and I was worried because no one had received a request.”
At the same time, the staff set a building as a milestone and informed me quickly and in detail about where to go. It’s a privilege given to a good-looking guy. Ugly bastards need to be polite to get normal treatment. Being a human being is so dependent on vision that there is nothing you can do about it.
“thank you.”
“yes. see you next time.”
The staff greeted me with pretty eyes. It’s a sad voice. Hyeonjun didn’t care and left the guild. When I was young, my family was poor, so I had no chance to meet women. Growing up, while making money, I worked hard, so I didn’t even think about meeting a woman because of my qualifications. If he was good-looking, a woman would naturally come to him, but Hyun-joon’s appearance in modern times was just that of an ordinary man everywhere. In the end, since he had no experience with women, he didn’t even notice the signal sent by the guild staff.
‘He’s a kind person.’
That was all Hyeonjun’s impression was.
As he walked along the path the guild staff had given him, Hyeon-jun felt the scenery around him change. The temple was located on the outskirts, and in fact it was a position that separated the middle class from the slums. It is the will to take care of those at the bottom rather than looking down from a high place.
The reason they didn’t build temples in the slums was because they couldn’t do it. When land is bought to build a temple in a slum, those who live there lose their place to live. No matter how much money you squeeze, you can’t get out of there. They lose their place to live right now and are driven to the streets. because you haven’t learned
‘It’s the first time I’ve ever entered a temple myself.’
Hyeonjun looked up at the temple building and thought. The size of the building is considerable. I imagined a temple like the Parthenon in Greece, but it just feels like a big mansion. The entrance to the temple is wide open without guards, and people come and go. Most of them look shabby and poor hygiene, as if they were from the slums.
Upon entering, the temple was a building in the shape of a Mieumja, and the middle was used as a courtyard. Little children are laughing and running around. And on the other hand, there are children wielding weapons under the guidance of a big man. The sight of the children wielding their weapons seemed strange, but all of them had serious faces.
For some reason, this scenery was very familiar to Hyeon-jun.
‘Looks like a school?’
It’s like the scenery of gym class. Instead of kicking the ball, the kids are just swinging their weapons. Hyeonjun looked around for a while not knowing where to go. Then one of the children who were running around in the courtyard spotted Hyeon-jun and shouted loudly.
“Priest! Who’s here!”
At those words, the man who was tutoring the children looked at Hyeon-jun. Hyeonjun bowed to him and tried to approach him.
“wow! Are you a knight?”
“no! Knights don’t wear armor like that!”
“Are you an adventurer?”
“Where are you from, uncle?”
“Can I touch this, Mister?”
“mister.”
“mister.”
The children who had been playing all of a sudden flocked to Hyeon-jun and clung to him. I have no intention of hearing an answer while asking a question. He rubs the shiny armor Hyun-jun is wearing with his hand and grabs the scabbard and hangs on. One of them is hanging from his arm.
“for a moment!”
Hyeon-joon shouted loudly, holding the hilt with his left hand so that the children wouldn’t touch it, and raised his right hand. The child clinging to his arm jumps up and laughs. When the children stopped for a moment and their bright eyes looked at him, Hyeon-jun said with a solemn face.
“Not uncle. Call me brother or brother.”
“mister!”
“mister! mister!”
The children rushed at once and shouted at the uncle. The vocal evil theory is correct. Even these innocent children hurt the human heart casually.
“no! You’re handsome, so you’re my brother!”
At the words of a girl, Hyeon-jun grabbed the child with both arms and turned around.
“ha ha ha! What a good boy!”
“Kyaaak!”
The child’s joyful screams echo through the courtyard. As he lifted the child high and put the wooden horse on it, other children clung to Hyeon-jun’s body and climbed up.
“brother! me too!”
“brother!”
Hyeon-jun giggled and lifted the children up and threw them lightly up to catch them. Of course, I didn’t let go. The child was startled by the feeling of floating, but laughed and screamed in relief at Hyun-joon’s hand firmly wrapping his side. Soon after, one person was hanging on Hyeonjun’s shoulder, three on each arm, and one on his back. Hyunjoon stretched out his arm and moved lightly. Children clinging to their arms swayed and screamed.
“These guys!”
“Kyaa!”
At that time, a man called a priest approached and yelled mischievously, and the children ran away screaming. As the girl climbed onto Hyeon-jun’s shoulder and grabbed Hyeon-jun’s head in a panic, Hyeon-jun knelt down and carefully put the child down. The child came down from Hyeon-jun’s shoulder, kissed Hyeon-jun’s cheek with a flushed face, and ran away screaming. When Hyeon-jun got up from his knees, the priest politely bowed his head and apologized.
“sorry. Kids are so playful.”
“ha ha ha! no. I had fun too.”
In fact, Hyun-joon was also happy. In fact, he really likes children. Just looking at the faces of babies wriggling in their mothers’ arms on the subway makes me feel better and smile at the laughter of children running and playing. However, as the children flocked to play and play like this, Hyeon-jun’s heart was also excited and a smile was on his face.
The priest greeted him with a gentle smile on his face.
“It’s late, but welcome to Karios’ temple. My name is Zilena.”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Hyunjun Kang. Please call me Jun.”
“yes. Brother Jun, what are you looking for?”
“hmm···. I have received a request from the guild.”
At Hyeonjun’s words, Jillenai’s face hardened. The face that had been smiling benevolently changed into a terrifying one in an instant. He’s still of a good size, but when he raised his eyebrows, the atmosphere changed completely. In addition, the light clothes that are instructing the children are wet with sweat and clinging to the body. The rocky muscles stand out clearly. More like a warrior than a priest.
“Are you okay?”
“Oh, sorry. Stop without me noticing.”
When Hyeon-jun spoke to the silent Zilenai, he suddenly came to his senses and answered. It seems that the heartache is severe.
“Let’s talk inside. Please wait a moment.”
Then, Zilenai went to the children he was tutoring, said something, and entered the building with Hyeon-jun. There are many rooms and children’s laughter can be heard. It is a peaceful place. On the wall of the hallway, there is also a picture of children running and playing in the courtyard of the temple. It is a warm picture with affection for this place.
“This is a picture drawn by a child who grew up here. It is the treasure of this temple.”
As Hyeon-jun stared at the painting, Zilenai smiled warmly and said,
“You seem to have had great success.”
Art belongs to those who have it. There is no end to learning and learning. It is art that you have to pour money into without any guarantee of success. The tools are expensive, but the price of paint is also beyond imagination. This is because, unlike Hyundai, which is produced in a factory, everyone has to make it one by one.
“They say they signed a contract with a noble family. Thank goodness.”
After looking at the picture for a while, I moved on. Hyeonjun was led into a small room.
“Please wait a moment.”
Zilenai left Hyun-joon and left the room. Hyeon-joon heard urgent footsteps receding from his ears. Looking around the room, the furniture is polished in places where people often touch it. You can tell at a glance that it is old. On the desk, you can see pieces made with poor workmanship. It is barely recognizable in its human form. I read the clumsily engraved text under the sculpture. There is also a piece engraved with Zilenai’s name. It seems that the children sculpted the priests.
‘Somehow, I feel like I’m in elementary school.’
“Sorry to keep you waiting.”
The door opened and Zilenai entered. I’m wearing a priest’s uniform, but my hair is damp, as if I’ve been splashed with water. He set the car down in front of Hyun-joon and sat down.
“no. It’s fun just to watch.”
When Hyeon-jun glanced at the sculpture, Zilenai smiled. But the face was shaded. A deep sadness and anguish lingers. He swallowed and was silent for a moment as if to clear his mind before finally speaking.
“First of all, thank you for accepting the request.”
Zilenai bowed down to her waist and bowed deeply.
