Episode 95. 7 Paladins (5)
“And, what is that talking statue?”
From Noble mtl dot com
The platinum-haired female paladin pointed at me with her hand. This woman in front of me was definitely Princess Dina.
“How did you recognize me?”
“…”
Surprised by the sudden situation, Hanna could not open her mouth. She is weak in improvisation and unexpected situations.
I have to take action on this.
– Paladin, my name is Malak, the god of barbarians.
“…God? By any chance, are you the Loa that Netkamaa was talking about?”
Princess Dina asked with a bit of surprise. This time, he was looking straight at the blade attached to Lakhe’s waist.
It’s kind of funny that in real life, people are saying, ‘It’s not Netcama.’ It’s even more annoying because it’s sung with a serious expression and tone.
Isn’t this person also a person with a quite unique personality?
“That’s right. I’m not a netcam… And that person is Loa Malak.”
Hannah finally came to her senses and answered. Is it an illusion that the sound seems to have become a little quieter at the part where it says ‘Netcamaanim’?
“He is the god of the barbarians… “I didn’t know something like that really existed.”
Princess Dina, who was staring at me, blinks her eyes once.
“I definitely feel a unique energy. Strange and ominous… “It feels that way.”
Princess Dina, like me, seems to have something similar to a sensor that can sense her partner’s energy.
“Ominous… ?”
– A paladin is an apostle who received the power of Ishtania, and the energy of another god cannot be felt as sacred.
Lakhe spoke first before getting angry.
“That makes sense.”
Princess Dina nodded her head.
I don’t know if it’s true or not. I made this up because I thought that if I said it like this, the hostility would go away.
“I heard that your goal is the salvation of the earth. “Is it true that you are encouraging the cooperation of paladins, barbarians, and civilized people?”
“Are the Holy Knights of the Goddess Church now questioning Loa about the truth?”
Lakhe seemed to be unable to bear it any longer and let out an angry voice.
“Who are you?”
“Lakeda, the guardian of Malak.”
Princess Dina’s eyes, which look serious and cautious, and Lake’s eyes, which are filled with wildness and sacredness, collide in the air.
“…”
“…”
Both of them are looking at each other without retreating an inch. No, what kind of situation is this?
If you blink, you lose? Are you taking pictures?
“…He’s clearly not a paladin. “There are people like this among the inhabitants of this world.”
Princess Dina muttered softly and turned her gaze towards me. The fight between two proud warriors ended with Lakhe’s victory.
“If everything Netkamaa said is true, then you also know that we are possessed.”
– Of course. I know that you guys use communities and that you first encountered this world through the medium of games.
“Do you know about the clear conditions?”
You are asking something different from Siwoo. It’s much better than asking them to send it to Earth.
– That’s right. It’s supposed to drive out the devil and take back the cathedral.
“…I don’t know how strong you are or how strong you can become.”
You are choosing your words carefully.
– I guess so.
“Malak, are you looking for civilized people, paladins, or barbarians?”
His attitude was different from when I asked him earlier. This time, Lakhe didn’t make a fuss either.
– That’s right. Three paladins already belong to our tribal alliance. You can check with them if you want.
I was trying to introduce a paladin called ‘Ultrasanz, crazy in moonlit night annihilation mode’, but then I remembered that it was too ridiculous of a nickname for me to say as a rookie, so I changed the names of ‘Petite Noah’ and ‘Morning Tent Installer’. He told me his nickname.
Phew, I almost got into big trouble. Of course, I didn’t forget to tell Noah and Siwoo first.
A paladin named Sanz was my messenger, so I told him to leave a private message if I had something urgent to say.
Princess Dina just stared into space and blinked for several minutes. He must be sending and receiving messages.
[Petitnoir: Um, Sanz? Princess Dina would like to see the Tribal Federation Headquarters. Can you ask Malak if I can attach an image?]
I responded after some time.
[Let’s take pictures focusing on a child smiling with civilized people]
Nothing moves people’s hearts like the smiles of healthy children.
“…”
Princess Dina’s face, who was looking into space, relaxed a little. I wonder what kind of photo you are looking at.
[Show me what you showed Princess Dina]
[Petite Noah: Ah! Isn’t that a line from Yuhi-chan’s cartoon?]
[?]
What are you talking about?
[Petinoa: Ah… yes Wait!]
[Petite Noah: (Photo of civilized and barbarian children sparring with each other with axes)]
[Crazy]
[Petite Noah: ??? Why?]
Hey, what should I do if I send something like this? Anyone who looks at it might think that it is a warlord force that uses child soldiers.
Princess Dina, why did her face relax when she saw this strict photo?
“Good.”
What is good?
Was it satisfying to see the children playing war? As expected, she is not a normal woman.
I started looking into it when I told the newbie to survive on his own.
“Let’s cooperate for a while to subdue a common enemy.”
Princess Dina held my hand.
[Well done]
Since it ended well, I decided to move on.
Noah, I want to give him a good beating with the body of a totem golem later.

Princess Dina dragged us to a cave. This is where the Dina Special Forces are waiting.
Inside the cave, four men and women were sitting fully armed.
“These are the people who came to help subdue the sea monster.”
Princess Dina quickly and simply explained our temporary alliance.
“Would you like to briefly introduce yourself?”
At the words of Princess Dina’s elementary school teacher, the commandos who were watching us stood up one by one. These are strong people of level 7 and above.
Self-introduction. It is necessary. You need to know the name of the person you’re fighting against.
“My name is Jackson.”
A middle-aged man who looked quiet came forward first. He was wearing two swords.
Lee Do-ryu and Jackson… Uh?
Isn’t this person ‘Samurai Jackson’, an early community user who claimed that dual swords were the best?
I thought he was dead because he doesn’t post anymore, but he’s alive. It also became very strong.
“I… It’s soup and rice. Please take care of me.”
The young man carrying a huge pork cutlet hammer on his shoulder grinned.
Gukbap. What a reassuring nickname. Just by looking at it, he is a Korean user.
I wanted to ask what kind of soup it was, but I held back.
“This is Sister Bella. “I am the older sister and this is the younger sister.”
Two similar-looking women bowed their heads slightly at the same time. If they were twins in real life, would they allow them to be possessed as twins?
She is such a damn kind goddess.
– Nice to meet you, Dina Special Forces. I am Loa Malak.
I said hello to them.
“My name is Lakhe, the guardian of Malak. From the looks of it, everyone doesn’t know who Malak is. Malak is the only one who came to save the earth… “
Suddenly, Professor Lake’s lecture that everyone had been waiting for began.
I tried to stop him. Ha, yes. I am a god in name and appearance, so I should introduce my exploits.
“The Colosseum? Oh, the Imperial Arena? Anyway, you subdued the demon that was ruling there? Wow, that’s amazing. “I went there when I was level 6 and barely escaped, hahahaha.”
Only Gukbap was responding well with a good reaction. This guy has a good personality.
I glanced at the remaining paladins who were listening with a calm expression. There are five in total, including Princess Dina.
The rest must have been caught by dark clouds.
Besides these, there are probably paladins of level 7 and above. However, most of them are probably people with broken hearts like close-range spies.
These five, who have not yet lost hope and are fighting against the apocalypse, should be seen as the core of the Holy Knights’ force, or rather, the Possessor’s force.
– …
When I thought about it that way, they seemed a little different. Should I just say that they look like strong users and unsalable warriors who have gone through many hardships?
Jackson must be a two-edged swordsman as awesome as Zorro, and our dependable Gukbap must be a man who smashes the devils’ ribs with that super pork cutlet hammer.
It was clear that the Bella sisters would also create a tremendous synergy effect due to the unique bond between their blood relatives, and that the two of them would exert the power of ten people.
They are truly fighters of the apocalypse.
“Uh, I’m not Netcam… no see. Just a netcam… “Please call me that.”
Her self-introduction session came to an end with Hannah’s words, as she suddenly became her netizen.
Hanna, are you also embarrassed by your nickname?
“We will only cooperate until we subdue the sea monster. From now on, we will work separately.”
Princess Dina, shortened to Dina, confirmed.
– That’s right. Let’s go to the village and talk about the details.
I wanted to ask you to help me subdue the shadow demon, but what can I do? It is not an equal relationship, nor is it a relationship in which I carry a bit of burden.
I am the god and spiritual leader of the tribal alliance. I shouldn’t be seen grabbing them by their trouser legs.
When I finish my journey and have the power to clearly overwhelm the Dina Special Forces, I plan to ask for cooperation again. It will be a condition for Dina Special Forces to take over under me.
Dina Special Forces, I will have it someday.
