Episode 94. 7 Paladins (4)
Dark night. This is the perfect time to send a personal message.
[Hannah]
[Netcama: Why?]
[Have you met Malak?]
[Not Netcam: Yes]
[What?]
[Netcamama: What?]
[Isn’t it overflowing with divine majesty?]
[Not Netkama: It’s just a talking totem]
[Netcama: Luminous totem that occasionally vibrates]
[;;]
When using a blessing, the totem will tremble.
[Netcama: Growing potatoes is a bit surprising]
[Netkamaanim: Farmer God? It felt something like that]
[Didn’t we go too far earlier?]
[Netkama: What are you talking about earlier?]
[Netcama: I don’t know. I am sleepy. I will sleep]
That’s it. Let’s not talk.
I tried to resolve things that were difficult to ask about as Loa Malak through Sanz’s personal message, but I started off wrong.
I decided to just get to the point.
From Noble mtl dot com
[What happened to Dina’s commandos?]
[Netcamama: No reply. I don’t even know if I checked]
Hmm. This is not good.
According to Hanna, Princess Dina showed interest after hearing that there was a sea monster in Matba.
They exchanged messages and information about sea monsters, but they have been unable to contact each other since the topic of Loa Malak was brought up.
… Do you suspect it’s a cult or something? If you think about it from Princess Dina’s perspective, it is not an incomprehensible decision.
The woman (who didn’t even know her face) who had been giving information about enemy forces suddenly started talking about Loa, whose existence I wasn’t even sure existed, and asked for her cooperation… If it were me, I think I would cut it off.
You might think that we are in league with sea monsters.
[ㅇㅋ I understand for now]
What should I do? Now that things have come to this, should we change the plan, take care of Maseok, Hanna, and the residents, and return to the Tribal Alliance?
For now, this is the easiest choice. The problem is that after that, you have to deal with Asha, who will be stronger than now.
Of course, I don’t know how strong Asha is now. The energy she felt when she emerged from her giant artificial womb… It wasn’t a strong enemy that I couldn’t defeat.
Do you think that since you are the incarnation of God, you will become stronger?
[Netmaka: What are you doing?]
He says he’s sleeping but he’s asking me something else.
[Just lying down]
[Not Netkama: In some place called a tribal alliance?]
I was about to type ‘ㅇㅇ’, but then I remembered that I said last time that I was on a mission and quickly corrected it.
[I’m being dispatched]
[Not Netkama: Oh, that’s right]
Surely, you’re not just trying to figure it out? Are you suspicious?
[Netkama: What kind of place is the Tribal Federation?]
If I answer half-heartedly, my lies might be exposed, so I decided to answer with caution.
[A place where barbarians and civilized people get along well]
If we are careful, we can only come up with abstract explanations like this. My vocabulary is trash.
[Netcama: Are there a lot of kids?]
There are a lot of kids. It may be hard for them to get used to it since they mainly play by throwing axes.
[Available for all ages]
I was about to say that this was an opportunity for the wizard and Jammin to see the priest at once, but I held back.
[Not Netcama: Utopiane]
I feel proud without even realizing it. Even though I wasn’t the only group that created it, it’s still more rewarding because I took the lead in creating it.
[Netcama: Are you satisfied with your life there?]
Uh.
[I am not at the Tribal Federation Headquarters]
[I am living a wandering life because I have to act as a messenger for Malak]
I was thinking about what to send and sent it like this.
When Hanna joins the Tribal Alliance, she will find out that no one knows a paladin named Sanz. Then you might doubt me.
[Netkama: Then how do you know?]
[Showed by Malak]
[Netcama: … okay?]
God showed me what to say.
[Netkama: So even if I join the tribal alliance, I won’t be able to meet you?]
[It seems like it right now]
[Netcama: … ]
It’s a shame.
[Are you so sad that you can’t make me a muksabal?]
[Not Netcam: What are you saying?]
[Netcama: That was just a joke, you idiot]
I know. I was kidding too.
[It seems difficult to meet right away?]
[Netcama: Then, even if I go, I’ll be alone]
[In addition to me, other paladins are also in the tribal alliance. No worries]
I can introduce you to Noah. Since they are both women and Earthlings, wouldn’t they be able to become close friends?
[Netkama: It’s the same as someone you don’t know who you are]
I wonder if Noah, like Hannah, would have a hard time because he is very shy.
We exchanged meaningless words like that.
[Netkamaanim: Oh, I’m really sleepy. See you next]
[ㅂㅂ]
Is it because the rebellion is about to happen? I couldn’t sleep well.
Now that I think about it, I’ve always been like this. I had trouble sleeping when I had something to do, like a presentation or interview. Although I lost my body, the elements that made up me as an individual seemed to remain the same.
I repeated my blindness, which was now fading away. It’s somehow awkward. I feel more familiar with Malak or Sanz.
– …
I fell asleep while listening to Lakhe’s breathing as he slept next to me.
***
The next morning, I went to visit Hanna with Lakhe.
– I have some business to run in the city. Would you like to go with me?
After much thought, I decided to retrieve the magic stone first. I plan to stay here for about 3 days to find Dina’s commandos, and if that doesn’t work out, I’ll take Hanna and her villagers to the Tribal Federation.
If you think about what is urgent, subjugating the shadow demon comes first. This is because if they fail to move the giant within the deadline, they will have to throw in the harshest threat of changing headquarters.
“City? … There are no demons, I think it will be okay. “Yes, I will go.”
The devil who ruled Matva was once killed by the Black Coral Tribe, or rather, sea monsters. If we go now, only the worshiper’s corpse will remain.
Barbarians are basically uncomfortable with buildings built by civilized people, so there will be no sea monsters.
– Let’s go.
Lakhe and Hannah crossed the reed field and arrived at the city. It wasn’t long before Lake, who possessed extra senses, and Hanna, an expert in hiding, joined forces.
It’s a combination of a dog-like woman and a cat-like woman. This is quite a hit.
I entered the center of the city. In one corner, bones that were believed to be those of worshipers were piled up. It must have been applied well, so there isn’t even a trace of meat on it.
“I guess an infectious agent visited there once.”
Hannah said indifferently. I guess it means that we have become dull enough to look at human bones and just ignore them.
– No. It’s probably the work of sea monsters.
They eat cannibalism. I saw their warrior class wearing jewelry made from human bones.
“That’s right. “I can’t sense any traces of the infection.”
After looking around, Lakhe agreed.
“…Ah.”
Hanna shakes her head as if she had any guesses. She’s lived here for a few months, so she’s probably seen Hannah too.
I guess it was just a simple thought because after killing a worshiper, the infected always came to dispose of the body.
– The chest containing the magic stone is in the garden of the manor house.
The note indicating the location of the magic stone stated that Matva was the territory where Beatrice briefly stayed. During his stay, he ‘renovated’ the garden in his own way and seemed to have hidden the magic stone.
I think he had a very playful personality when he was alive.
“I found it.”
As written in the note, Lakhe opened the secret door, disarmed the trap, and took out the chest. It happened in an instant that the mysterious device attached to the chest blinked and created a hologram of a girl.
[Nice to meet you! My name is Beatrice!]
Oh, what a surprise! Is the sound too loud? We have to do something quickly…
[Seven-colored magic… ]
Kwasik!
Lakke crushed the device that was playing the hologram with his grip…. It’s not a residual thought, is it? Let’s just believe it’s a recorded video.
“…You’re a wizard who has been tricked.”
Lakhe clicked her tongue.
That’s right. Why did they make this feature like this when other chests didn’t have this feature? Were you aiming for a surprise event?
“Someone might have heard it. “I’d better go quickly.”
Hanna, her hair standing on end like a startled cat when she saw the hologram of Beatrice, looked around with her anxious eyes.
Raque carefully lifted her chest and moved with Hanna.
“…There is someone nearby.”
Lakhe, who was moving slowly to avoid making as much noise as possible, suddenly stopped.
“What? “There’s no one there?”
“There was a sound of her collar brushing. Be quite.”
“…Okay.”
Lakhe, who had scolded Hanna, pricked up her ears.
“It’s also stopped. “I think they are even listening to our voices.”
“Tch.”
Lakhe drew her meteor sword. Hannah, who was watching, also took out the sword and shield she carried on her back.
Just like that, we entered into a stalemate with an invisible enemy. It’s an invisible enemy.
… Ah, I think I understand.
– Princess Dina.
I called out a user’s nickname just in case.
Gozaburo, or rather a close-range spy, said that it was possible to briefly erase Princess Dina’s existence using the hidden skill she had learned.
Could it be that he used that skill to hide himself after being caught by Lakke while chasing us?
– Princess Dina, right?
My vision flickered for a moment, and a platinum-blonde beauty wearing pure white armor appeared. Is this what the princess knight in a fairy tale looks like?
By the way, it was 50 meters ahead. If I hadn’t noticed, I would have been in big trouble.
The paladin glanced at Lakhe, then made eye contact with Hanna and spoke.
“Are you ‘Netkamaanim’?”
