Chapter 116
Chapter 22 Party Play (7)
“Whoa.”
A sound leaked out of my mouth involuntarily.
‘What came out so much?’
Looking at the number of people, it seems that almost all the priests of the Biceta Temple have come out.
Even though it had been discussed beforehand, I was surprised and stopped.
Of course, even for a while, I left behind the players who were returning through the moving magic circle and approached them.
Then, he thrust something out at the person wearing the cape, the symbol of a high-ranking priest.
Items that had a significant impact on the ranking of this mission.
‘The staff of Gilon.’
The holy relic of the Palao Church that had been abandoned for several years as the territory of the Kairot Kingdom was polluted.
The value of this object, which looks like a common wooden staff, cannot be converted into money.
“Ah, finally… … !”
The senior priest’s eyes moistened as he received the staff with trembling hands.
Perhaps it was because the sacred relics of the church that had been lost had returned, but his expression of emotion was vivid.
“Thank you very much, thank you. Everyone has been through a lot. To express my gratitude, I prepared a banquet at the temple… … .”
The senior priest thanked each player for their hard work in this mission.
I was staring at Gilon’s staff with complicated eyes next to him.
‘It was said that it was used by one of the 12 apostles that Palao first chose.’
Originally, it was said that it was the tradition of the church to give the twelve sacred objects to the next apostle in that order.
When there are more apostles than holy relics, the first chosen apostle dies and then passed on to the second chosen apostle.
In the opposite case, I heard that the holy relic is kept in the temple in the region where it was born.
In a word, it can be said that it is an object that contains the history of the 7 gods and churches.
As for why the important thing was abandoned in the polluted area.
– You forgot to take it with you at the time.
When I recalled what Jordan had told me when I was deciding on my first church mission, I was at a loss for words.
At the time, priests and paladins in Timal Castle forgot and left the holy relics while gathering food to feed the followers on their way to evacuate.
‘It’s not a bad thing to take care of believers. It’s not, but… … .’
When I first heard about it, I couldn’t manage my expression well.
However, regardless of the background, once the holy relic was retrieved, it was even finished passing it on in a public place.
‘A show-off performance would be enough.’
As previously discussed, I took everything I could get through the church mission.
“Come on, come on, let’s go.”
So I decided to decline the request to attend the banquet.
“I’m sorry, but I have to go back to Harbon.”
Even if I don’t go to the banquet, other players will leave reviews.
It was time to return home after finishing the two-day schedule outside.
‘I have to discuss with Jordan about the bunker found in the contaminated area.’
Today was also the day I was supposed to meet Yang Tae-ho, so I was thinking of going back quickly.
Returning to Harbon, I headed straight to the Palao Temple.
Three or four hours had passed by the time I finished everything there.
Eventually, after returning to Harbon in the morning, I was able to return to the Bennet Mansion around noon.
I habitually kneaded my neck and shoulder blades and recalled the battle in the 4-star contaminated area.
‘It’s not easy to shake off when surrounded.’
There are some disappointing points, but overall, there were more satisfactory parts.
Compared to the first time dealing with high-evolution species, it became easier to deal with several of them alone.
If I were to score my battles, I wanted to give them 20 points higher than before.
Of course, it was entirely my own judgment.
Unlike me, there must be people waiting with their nags loaded.
The person’s repertoire of nagging was also evident.
– If you do well, you won’t even come to my feet.
– There is a limit to what you can do alone.
When I thought of Shamel’s voice, which now almost automatically plays, my eyebrows crumpled.
‘Who doesn’t know that.’
He knew better than anyone else, so he tried to reduce the death rate of other players and increase the power of the church.
However, Shamel doesn’t consider that and starts nagging first.
Do you feel like you just want to nag?
At the thought of hearing Shamel’s nagging, I involuntarily started to slow down.
However, since it was the day he was supposed to meet Yang Tae-ho, he couldn’t stay idle forever.
‘Let’s go in.’
It was a feeling that if I was going to hit it anyway, I would get hit quickly.
As I arrived at Bennett’s mansion, I felt the presence of a terrifyingly fast approach.
But I didn’t have to avoid it. It’s clear who the owner of the sign is.
“K!”
“Ugh.”
It was Belta who ran at full speed and jumped into my arms.
The guy who goes in and out of the Bennet Mansion like it’s his own.
Around the time of the defeat, there were many cases where I couldn’t overcome the power of a kid and fell apart.
How can I survive now? I adapted to the behavior of the guy who rushed at me without warning.
I rubbed my aching stomach and pressed down on Belta’s head.
“Did you come again?”
“huh! I’m here in the morning!”
The guy who was hanging from my waist and laughing lightly climbed up my body and sat on my shoulder.
It was nothing new. When I was at the mansion, it became a daily routine to carry this guy on a wooden horse.
I looked around with Belta on my shoulder. I don’t know where Shamel will pop out.
When she started nagging, he even racked his brains to retort.
‘It took about a day to complete this mission.’
12 players died in the process.
Compared to those who died in Palao so far, the number was not small.
But what if we exclude subjectivity and only look at objective numbers?
‘Most of the players are of the same rank, but if there are 12 deaths in 4 stars, honestly, it’s a record.’
This is the part where the effect of hell training is clearly revealed.
I can assure you that if players from other denominations attack a 4-star polluted area in a tie-breaking state, several hundred units will die.
Although it is only a month of training, the difference in skills between those who have learned how to use weapons properly and those who have not is bound to be stark.
‘That’s enough.’
I’m sure my contribution to this achievement is not small, isn’t this enough?
I’m not a babysitter, so I can’t go after all the other players and take care of them.
‘I really hope it goes without nagging this time.’
I was always nervous because of Shamel.
Belta grabbed my hair and asked in an innocent voice.
“why?”
“I’m afraid the granny will come out.”
Being beaten in the back of the head like the day before yesterday is a specification.
As I watched the surroundings with vigilance, Belta spoke in a refreshing voice.
“Grandma? Grandma is gone.”
I unknowingly clenched my fists and asked.
“You don’t know where you went?”
“I know, I know! Belta knows! I heard you!”
“Where is it?”
“Kimol!”
Belta raised her chin with a proud expression and answered with a confident voice.
Kimol was the place where the resistance headquarters was located, and it could be seen as the temporary capital of Ferel.
Going there meant that there was something important going on.
It may not be a schedule that will be finished in a day or two.
‘Come as late as possible.’
I relaxed at Shamel’s subtitle and asked with a light heart.
“Then what about Lachar?”
Clearly, Zentler said she was not going out for the time being.
As expected, when I asked for confirmation.
“In the paper room.”
Belta called Rashar’s office a paper room.
Maybe it’s because there’s a lot of paper there.
When I arrived at the 3rd floor where Rashar lived, I stopped walking for a moment, and Belta’s hand holding my hair tightened.
“You want to go to the paper room?”
“no.”
As long as Rashar avoids me, it will be a waste of time to go there.
It’s the time when I’m in the middle of work, so it’s like interrupting.
‘This kind of thing has to be well-timed.’
If the other person avoids you, it’s a sign that they don’t want to talk.
Ignoring it and pushing it recklessly will only make things worse.
I stared at the hallway where Lashar’s office was and climbed the stairs again.
Belta asked him in an excited voice.
“hehehe, will you play with me then?”
It must be because he knows that if Nana Rashar enters the room, he will not play with him.
Recently, I spent a lot of time hunting, training, and going out, so I didn’t have much time to play with Belta.
Anyway, today’s schedule is over and until Tae-ho comes back, I can relax.
“What do you want to do?”
As she nodded her head obediently, Belta’s voice rose even higher.
“Mister, Mister, play!”

Just in time, as I started to see my room, Belta shot out.
The guy, who ran the remaining distance with quick movements, quickly jumped up and grabbed the doorknob.
A kid barely taller than my thigh would have had no choice but to open the door with his own strength.
Seeing the back of Belta, who was so excited, I burst into laughter.
I followed Belta into the room.
Afterwards, as I was unpacking my belongings in the locker, Belta, who had run into the dressing room, appeared holding something in her arms.
“Belta brought it!”
After looking at the bathroom and Velta for a while, I sighed and headed to the sofa.
To be honest, I wanted to wash right away, but I couldn’t turn away from the excited Belta.
“Come on.”
Belta jumped in with a bright expression and spread the toys on the table.
These are the items sent by Ahn Gi-jun through the gift-giving function.
The first thing Belta grabbed was a plastic drum and a paper bag.
Every time the bag was shaken, the cheap plastic rattled and rattled.
I mean, what are those things used for?
“Please insert Mr., Mister-eyed Mister.”
It is a toy used when playing Mr. Tong’s game.
It’s Belta’s favorite bokbulbok game, so I had some fun with it.
Every time the model of Mr. Tong jumps up, a startled Belta jumps up as well.
‘It’s fun to watch because it’s cute.’
As I sat down on the sofa, Belta, who had naturally climbed onto my lap, picked up a handful of toy knives and said,
“I want to go first!”
“do whatever you want.”
Scared to finish her words, Belta began mercilessly sticking a toy knife into Mr. Tong’s wooden barrel.
That’s when I finished two rounds of Uncle Tong, one Jenga, and three Halli Galli’s.
With a knock, the customer I was waiting for arrived.
“welcome.”
Yang Tae-ho, a tanker belonging to the Temoria faction, the god of patience.
He stood behind the attendant with a bewildered expression.
‘I didn’t expect to feel welcome seeing your face after only two days.’
Is it because he’s the first party member you recruited? I was more happy than I thought, so the corners of my mouth curled up without my knowledge.
On the other hand, Yang Tae-ho looked at me and whispered to the attendant who had brought me here.
“Honey, do you think I came to the wrong place? I thought I was looking for Kay?”
It’s the first time I’ve seen him without the magic tool, so it’s natural if it’s natural.
I decided to send the attendant back, leaving Yang Tae-ho, who was taken aback.
“You may go.”
“We have prepared a room next door for guests to stay.”
“Yes, thank you.”
“uh? uh huh Ibo Showing!”
Yang Tae-ho looked at me alternately with the departing attendant, confused.
I laughed lightly at him and put the magic tool in my ear.
“You are right here.”
“Uh, uh… … !”
“Come on in.”
Yang Tae-ho saw a familiar face before crossing the door with an awkward motion.
“Ahh, did you use magic tools? Ugh, I heard you’re Asian, but it’s strange because you’re white… … ?”
And as soon as I closed the door, the horse’s tail froze and stiffened.
“Me, me, me… … !”
His outstretched fingers trembled.
When I checked the direction my fingers were pointing, I saw Belta with her tail stretched out, leaning against the armrest of the sofa.
Yang Tae-ho, who had stuttered several times, suddenly began to backtrack.
Then he grabbed me by the shoulder and spoke in an urgent tone.
“Um, isn’t that a beast? Did you care too?”
“That’s right.”
“Wow, I’m going crazy!”
Why did you ask something obvious?
“Because those bastards are so sensitive!”
Maybe it was because he wasn’t familiar with the dialect of the Honam region, at first he couldn’t understand exactly what Yang Tae-ho was saying.
However, as soon as I heard the words that followed, I could understand what Yang Tae-ho wanted to convey.
“You don’t know what happened at Brecce? Was it completely turned upside down?!”
It seemed that he wanted to say that Soo-in was sensitive to the safety of the children.
That was actually true. Prisoners were very sensitive to the safety of their own people, especially children who had not yet reached adulthood.
In relation to that, not too long ago, there was a large-scale hunting in Breche.
A human trafficking group that had been tracked by the prisoner for a long time was discovered there.
At that time, I heard that about 400 people, a number capable of fighting, surrounded Brecce Castle.
‘In two days to block the movement magic and find out all the people involved, I heard that about a hundred people died?’
It was almost like attacking the castle, but the church army and nobles didn’t even protest.
If he had seen Horpe go hunting that day, he would not have thought of protesting.
In fact, I was in a similar situation when he came to ask for catnip with blood all over his body.
Even breathing was intimidating to see his notice.
He had never been to the site himself, and had only glimpsed traces of it through Horpe, but he was still affected.
‘On the other hand, Yang Tae-ho must have witnessed the tragedy nearby.’
He must have been affected more than me, so it wasn’t strange that he was so frightened.
I didn’t mean to let the misunderstanding go unnoticed.
