Episode. 06 Crisis at Snowfall (3)
“Um… … .”
How long have you lost your mind?
When I opened my eyes again, it was the village chief’s house. Seeing that it was quiet outside, it seemed that everything had been sorted out.
『Lowest-class missionary – Mary… … .』
『From Roman… … .』
『From Freea… … .』
『Vitality and luck abound to those who pray.』
The system window filled up in front of my eyes.
I must have been lying down for two days, and faith came in twice in total.
A total of about 1,800 faiths.
Holy aura filled the whole body.
‘Come to think of it, something seems to have changed.’
I looked down at my body.
Something stiff and refreshing somewhere, it seems like something has changed, but I don’t know exactly where.
It was a time when I was kneading here and there for a while.
“Oh, my saint! Are you awake!”
The village chief, Roman, who opened the door and came in, made a fuss when he saw me.
What did that old man just say?
“Are you a saint?”
Roman did not respond to my words and ran outside.
“Look! The Holy Son has awakened!”
Even though I was inside the house, I heard his cry from outside.
After a while, I got up because I thought this small house would be full of people.
All the wounds on his body were in good condition.
Balak must have sprayed some potion on it.
Thanks to that, I felt only a slight muscle pain.
“He is a saint!”
When I opened the door and came out, all the residents had gathered.
Each of them was holding something in their hands as they looked at me with bright eyes.
“I am so glad you recovered safely! This, this is our offering to the Holy Son!”
The village chief prostrated himself with a skinny body and held out what he was holding in his hand.
It was dried jerky.
“It’s a poor town, but… … Even so, I want to be of help to the Holy Son and God.”
And that wasn’t all. What the other residents brought with me was firewood and tattered clothes, which I didn’t really need.
No, I have something to rip off in this town.
Embarrassment came over me, but I didn’t show it too much.
Aren’t they the believers who couldn’t help but hope for that?
“All God wants is faith. It cannot be replaced with material.”
said, pushing away the dried jerky.
There was no need to burden the precious believers at all.
“ah! Also, saint… … !”
“Long live the saint! Long live God Hor!”
“Hor! Ho-le!”
Residents shouting a continuous hor.
The front of the village chief’s house was filled with commotion.
Then my eyes met Mary, who was looking at me from the corner.
Her cheeks were blue and bruised.
“Ah, Mary!”
Even in the midst of my hectic avoiding the Death Knight’s attack, I definitely saw it.
Even the baron of Hessian yelling and slapping Mary on the cheek and cursing.
“Saint, no… … young master! I’m glad you woke up safely!”
She was just looking at me with a happy face, as if she wasn’t paying attention to my swollen cheeks.
“I was really, really cool! Smash that skull with your shining sword just… … !”
He swallowed a sigh as he looked at the very excited Mary.
Normally timid, she tended to be quite immersed in something.
Maybe that’s why I was able to become a missionary.
“hehehe, were you surprised? Chief Roman told me to call you a saint.”
When I glanced at Roman, he shyly put his hands together. I was about to say something, but Mary spoke first.
“People want to become believers! Come on, perform the Shinto ceremony!”
“A Shinto ritual?”
her eyes twinkled.
There is no such thing as a Shinto ritual. It’s just that you have to qualify the believer.
Looking at it, Mary had a knack for making anything grandiose about anything related to God.
“okay. let’s do it.”
He nodded and looked around at the residents.
The population of Snowfall is 31.
Now, how many people can become believers here?
Looking at the faces of the residents standing in line, they were all full of expectations.
From noble mtl dot com
“A believer cannot be anyone. Only those who truly have faith can be with God.”
Despite my words, their expressions did not change.
He seemed to firmly believe that he could become a believer.
It seemed that saving them from the undead had a great effect.
How can they change so much after only pretending to believe in God?
Or did Mary diligently evangelize while I was asleep?
“Then let’s begin.”
The first was Roman.
He placed his hand on his forehead at the head of the line.
“Appointment of Shinto.”
『Roman has become a believer.』
『Your blessings be with the Lamb.』
“Congratulations. You have become a believer from now on.”
“Ahh!”
Leaving the thrilled Roman behind, he greeted the next resident.
With 31 people waiting for their turn, it was too late to encourage them one by one.
『The target’s faith is insufficient.』
Unfortunately, not all villagers could become believers.
“You lack faith.”
“Yes, yes!? no!”
I shook my head at the young man with a desperate expression on his face.
I’m really sad too, but what can I do? I have a lack of faith.
Only 10 villagers became believers. Including Mary and Melin, 12 followers were born.
By the way, 10 out of 31 people was much less than I thought.
These people didn’t pray properly.
◈ ◈ ◈
“Mary, did Master die?”
“yes. After sorting out the situation, he left immediately.”
“You are very busy.”
Even thinking about it now makes me dizzy. If, contrary to my memory, Balak hadn’t been in Lofen… … .
‘It must be rolling around in the front yard of Snowfall, broken in two.’
As I shook my head at the terrifying imagination, Aaron approached me.
A bandaged right arm comes into view. Other than that it seemed pretty good.
“young master. Are you awake?”
“You’ve come to your senses too. How are you feeling?”
“it’s okay.”
He patted his chest as if showing off. It seems that Aaron was also treated by Balak.
From what I’ve heard, the right arm seems to get better after a few days of rest.
“thanks. I would have died if it wasn’t for you.”
Battle with Death Knight.
The few seconds that made me blow away from the crisis of despair were no different from saving me.
Mary hinted from the side.
“Sir Aaron woke up last night. As soon as I came to my senses, I was worried about you. So do the other knights.”
True to her words, the faces of the knights showed signs of relief.
“I’m glad that everyone looks okay.”
Despite the heavy fighting, no one was killed.
After answering those who asked how they were doing, they headed straight to Baron Hessen’s barracks.
Wouldn’t he have to pay the price for making Mary’s face like this?
It was something that could never be overlooked.
“young master… … Maybe because of me… … .”
She seemed to realize that too, and she showed a look of uneasiness.
“I am okay! Baron Hessen also told me… … .”
“Follow me quietly. Aaron, you too.”
Ignoring her hurriedly opening her mouth, I arrived at the barracks accompanied by Aaron.
Poof!
“Hee, hee!”
Hessen, who was inside, was startled when he pushed the entrance with all his might.
He must have heard that I had woken up, but he didn’t even poke his nose.
It must have been because I was stabbed a lot.
That pale face was the proof.
“You’re Hessen, who used to curse at me behind my back when I got into fights.”
“That, that… … ! You misunderstood!”
“no. I can bear that.”
I went up to him and grabbed him by the collar.
“But is this bastard touching my lady-in-waiting?”
“Ah! please save me young master!”
It was like a rebellion against Battenga before me.
What kind of family is Battenga? That the baron of this remote kingdom was the most prestigious family he could not dare to ask for.
“sorry! sorry! Because I lost my temper… … !”
He begged, banging his head on the floor. Even then, as if it was not enough, he bowed his head to Mary.
From what I’ve heard, it seems that I tried to silence her before I woke up.
This guy really can’t do it.
“As of today, Snowfall belongs to Battenga, not yours.”
For a moment, the baron’s eyes shook slightly.
There is only one reason why that guy has attachment to Snowfall.
It was a shame to lose the ice palace built on that snowy mountain.
‘A fool.’
I also didn’t want to do anything like this.
But it’s all what he did.
“In addition, I will charge you 100,000 gold for touching my maid. If you have any objections… … .”
awesome-
As he activated the effect of the Frost Cloak, frost fell on Baron Hessen’s skin.
“Keah!”
Hessen screaming with his face turned white.
Still, his bodyguards did nothing.
No wonder.
The moment they move, it’s because they’re rebelling against Battenga.
“Ah, I’m sorry! Please take care of me!”
The baron begged with his frozen mouth.
100,000 gold is a painful loss to the pathetic baron.
In addition, all the supplies Hessen sent to Snowfall also belonged to me.
“I want you to get off this earth right away. Send the gold to my family home.”
That day, Hessen and the soldiers immediately left Snowfall.
He looked very urgent, as if someone was chasing him.
◈ ◈ ◈
next day.
I got ready to leave and got into the carriage. Around it, believers were buzzing.
In particular, Roman, who was talking to me, opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth.
“You mean this place will become a tourist destination?”
“okay. That palace deserves it.”
In fact, it might be used for something else.
That will be a story in the distant future.
The value of Ice Palace is not only its beautiful appearance.
If they knew that a mysterious fairy had built that castle, there would be an uproar among the nobles. Because they are crazy about something rare and special.
Even though she’s a degenerate fairy, it’s a matter of keeping it a secret.
“Anyway, as long as your village is owned by our family, it should look like it should.”
“That word… … .”
In a word, it means to support the village.
Of course, it’s not me, but one of my family members will do it.
“Go, thank you. Holy saint!”
“What is gratitude? You too have work to do.”
The task of the inhabitants of Snowfall is a very serious one.
Spread Horgyo to tourists!
“Make the tourists who come to this town become believers. Don’t touch the nobles, mainly the lower-ranking attendants.”
In general, there are many cases where nobles think very insignificantly of commoners. If I touched those guys, it was obvious that only annoying things would happen.
Again, the answer is to attack step by step from the bottom.
And I had one very trustworthy follower.
“merry. You should be good to me.”
“yes!”
Mary replied vigorously. She was not in the carriage.
“What God has entrusted to me… … The sky is two sides, I will follow you!”
Last night, I instructed Mary to remain here and do the proselytizing work. She, who became the lowest-ranking evangelist, was the right person for this job.
I also hoped that the residents who had not yet become believers would have the effect of strengthening their faith if they were with Mary.
‘Since God gave direct instructions, I’m glad I’m dying.’
Merry looked troubled at first, but after bringing up the name of God, the smile never left her face.
Rather, it was the momentum to carry out evangelism activities at the risk of their lives.
It’s a very good attitude.
“Then see you next time.”
“Look carefully, my saint!”
“come again!”
The carriage left behind them and started to depart.
I only stayed for a few days, but it was an eventful outing.
“Write.”
From the beginning, the future was wrong.
It ended with one raid now, but no one knew what a change this would make.
After all, the best way is to become strong enough to be unmoved no matter what happens.
If the mana insensitivity is cured this time, he will inform the family head and rip off the elixir.
‘I can’t believe my son’s incurable disease has healed, so why don’t you buy me some elixirs?’
I thought maybe it really was, but I tried to deny it and closed my eyes.
It would take three days to get to Battenga anyway. In the meantime, training was impossible, so I tried to breathe mana.
however… … .
“what is this… … ?”
I opened my closed eyes and looked down at my body.
I couldn’t see it with the naked eye, but I felt it clearly. The fully activated mana was flowing in a way he had never seen before.
It was a much faster and more stealthy operation than before.
Like a fish out of water, Mana fluttered all over his body.
I blinked my eyes blankly and raised the corners of my mouth.
There was one thing I could guess.
I wish I could give you a present like this.
