#6 – The era of Black Mountain Society has arrived (9)
Studying is not the fastest way to increase your intelligence.
You will be taken to the Order of Intelligence.
As with all denominations, it is simple to receive benefits by simply donating.
However, when I visit the church, the response is shaky.
Priests as well as believers are startled.
“What are you so surprised about?”
“Oh, nothing.”
Caesar stared at the priest and drew his sword.
“boss. This guy just lied.”
The priest and I were both cold and surprised at the same time.
The priest was caught lying, and I was startled by the fact that this bastard had now seen through the lies and had become an even more cunning psychopath.
Thanks to an iron plate with a synchronization rate of 1%, I barely managed to correct my expression, and I spoke with a blunt voice.
“As you can see, the tip of my subordinate is sharp and alive. Do not show questionable words and deeds, and disclose all the secrets hidden in your heart. Otherwise, you will lose 20 kg of weight in a way you don’t want to.”
The priest closed his eyes tightly and trembled, then revealed the secret.
“A priest of the Order of Intelligence should not have a wife, but I had a woman who got pregnant with a child by playing with fire, so I got married secretly.”
“…!?”
“In order to make a living, we generously sold information that should not be circulated. One of the main sources of high-quality information for information merchants is the Order of Intelligence.”
No, it’s something completely different from what I expected.
What is this livelihood corruption?
A heavy secret suddenly spilled out.
“As an added bonus, I have also received generous requests from the outside, and I am also acting as a consultant on the plots of evil organizations. Not long ago, I also consulted the Duke of Talon’s plan using the World Conference.”
Now I know.
Why the thief acted like he had my feet numb.
“Were you so scared because you were afraid that it would be discovered?”
“Yes. In part, yes.”
“In part?”
“Recently, there have been a lot of organizations asking for a plan to win the favor of the boss, so they are coming up with various schemes. The placenta has been in contact with key people I know.”
“Interesting. Name those key figures.”
“I… that’s an inside secret…”
“Caesar. He says it’s an insider secret, what do you think?”
Caesar drew a sword from its sheath with an evil dread.
“Until the stomach is split, this guy’s intestines will remain in the stomach as a valuable secret. Of course, after the stomach is split, it will be exposed naked.”
“That’s right. Are you going to divulge a secret? Or will you be ripped off?”
“Ugh. If it was only to die once, I would have been able to keep my mouth shut, but why the hell did that person follow me…”
The Priest of Intelligence looked at the person behind me and Caesar and wept.
It was Alain, a priest belonging to the Church of Healing.
Priest Mu-On said it was a token of friendship and just gave it away as a way to eat and leave, but if you are threatened right now, it will be taken as a meaning of repeating killing and reviving.
If it was like before, ‘Huh! I’m not that bad of a guy!’ I must have been pretending to be surprised, but honestly, these days, it’s annoying to be pushed around, so I just threaten them.
If it wasn’t for his notoriety, the priest of intelligence wouldn’t be able to divulge confidential information like this, and I wouldn’t have known that there was such a secret.
When you think about it, being notorious isn’t all that bad. It’s not a notoriety that can come down now, so using it to your advantage is the best way to live a smart life.
“Three frontiers and most of the lords, nine of the Twelve Rivers of Brahm left in Bram requested.”
“Conversely, it would be quicker to pick the one that wasn’t used.”
“It was not used only by the guild leader of the guild of different races, the president of the Magic Association, and the extinct guests.”
That last sentence caught my attention.
“An exorcist is a member of the Black Mountain Society.”
“Yes. I’ll tell you about it, too. There were many users in Heuksanhoe.”
“What is it?”
Other than that, this is a bit awkward.
Still, the members of the Black Mountain Society were provided with umbrellas that were strong enough to make them feel bad.
But if I lifted it up and tried to slap me in the back of the head, it wouldn’t be strange if my body became a beehive or ashes. What is certain is that the back of my head is shattered to the extent that no original form remains.
“Reveal your users.”
“It’s Saito, Gray, Mosaic Girl, Dorothy Aegis, and Lina.”
I felt a tremendous sense of betrayal.
“Did I even ask how to kill the boss?”
“Yes? Not like that.”
“Then how about indirectly assassinating the boss?”
“It’s not that ugly.”
“Isn’t that ugly?”
The priest of intelligence waving his hand in denial.
I turned to Caesar.
Caesar nodded bluntly.
Not a lie.
If so, let’s put more pressure on them to reveal the truth.
“Tell them all about what they wanted to know and what answers they got.”
The priest laid down everything and became discouraged.
With a face like a whistleblower for the rest of his life, he answered meekly.
“Customer Saito first inquired about how to cure alopecia areata.”
“…hair loss?”
“Yes. We presented two methods. It’s about going to the Church of Healing and cherishing your hair without receiving the high-level regeneration spell or stress.”
“So that’s all?”
“Of course not. Saito customer said that he did not have enough hair to be regenerated to receive the order for advanced regeneration, and that he was going through a hard time among stupid people, and said that the stress would still be there.”
“… … .”
That’s right.
Saito is one of the few plotters of the Black Mountain Society.
He must feel about 10% of the cancer I feel.
“Customer Saito has presented your inquiry again. It was a way to revive hair that had already died.”
“Ugh. The answer?”
“The absence of hair is neither a disease nor a curse, so there is no way that the Church of Healing can solve it. Even after death, it does not change even if it is resurrected with the power of resurrection.”
“… … .”
“So, after earning millions of dollars, I went on a long journey to pursue the traces of the old gods hidden somewhere in the ancient mountainous regions of the West, and I replied that I could return if I was granted the power of return at the ancient temple.”
Do I have to go back to getting my hair back!?
Rather, this is a game.
If he returns, does the game roll back!?
“Maybe Saito didn’t go looking for it, did he?”
“Of course not.”
“phew.”
“Instead, it was commissioned by adventurers.”
“!!!!”
f*ck off. That’s a return flag.
It’s also a flag that, like Hogu, loses regression like Hogu after giving money and equipment to the target he asked for.
It’s embarrassing for my subordinates to nullify all the achievements I’ve built because of their f*cking hair, but it’s even more annoying to have done so and then get hit by some adventurers.
“Caesar.”
“Yes.”
“Call the intelligence department right now and order them to find the adventurers and kill them all.”
“What about Saito?”
“He is going to meet in person to make a decision. Let him wait in the break room without a single finger injured.”
Caesar gave orders to the guards, and soon his men heard his orders and ran to somewhere.
I stared at the priest with a cold, hardened face.
“next.”
“Hey, the next customer is him, Gray-sama. His request was to eat biscuits deliciously.”
“… … .”
I was crazy right now And what do you mean when I say that my subordinate, also a bastard called a demon, asked me how to eat biscuits deliciously?
It was such a pathetic inquiry that I was considered stupid. But for some reason, the priest looked more cautious than before.
“That’s… I’m really sorry.”
“What are you sorry for?”
“Actually, this customer looked like a hogu, so they cheated.”
“her?”
“I didn’t mean to cheat in the first place. I was told that to eat biscuits deliciously, just roll them in milk and eat them, but there were signs of disbelief as to whether such a crude method was really right, so stop being angry…”
It’s self-sufficient.
Talking about state secrets would be futile, but a member of the Black Mountain Society, a bastard called a demon, asked how to eat biscuits deliciously like an asshole, and tackled them.
To be honest, I personally thought it was cheap even if I was scammed, but seeing the priest’s terrified appearance, the level of fraud seemed to be quite serious.
“To eat biscuits deliciously, I told them to grind the fruit of intelligence, the sap of the world tree, the tears of a dragon, the heart of an angel, and the horns of the devil, and let them ripen for 30 days in a place full of magic before taking it.”
“…it’s a ploy to sell the fruit of intelligence at a high price.”
“I’m really sorry! To be honest, I believed it straight away and heard people say that biscuits would definitely be delicious if the recipe was this difficult… so I cheated one more time!”
At this point, admiration for the marvelous skills of the Priests of Intelligence emerges.
I was thinking of robbing the demons belonging to the Black Mountain Society.
“What kind of scam?”
“Even if it doesn’t work after eating the fruit of intelligence, I just sold delicious figs because I thought I could just shake my mouth!”
“…”
No, that’s a bit pitiful.
It’s so pitiful that you think you’ve lost any enemy to Gray.
“boss. What about Gray?”
“Leave it. That bastard is a little… pitiful.”
“All right.”
Next, it was Mosaic Girl’s turn.
“The Mosaic Monster has asked you how to charm its master.”
“!!”
Caesar looked startled.
I guess I’m already fascinated.
Was it because it was an inquiry made before it reached the ranks, so there was a difference?
“If you were an ordinary person, I would have taught you how to increase your charm, but this time the opponent was a monster… We came to a conclusion after careful consideration.”
“What conclusion did you come to?”
“I told you to learn transformation magic to start with becoming a human, or to find a witch hidden in the swampy areas of the southern great forest to sacrifice something to receive the curse of becoming a human.”
Sacrifice something, what the hell!?
It’s already getting ominous.
“Isn’t it possible that my pet has already been to the Great Forest?”
“Eh… yes… not like that…”
“What is that, that shaky reaction? What are you hiding!”
“Hey! sorry! I got information that the witch had moved to the capital because she needed a magic tool, so I arranged a meeting between the monster and the witch.”
“!!”
this crazy
Cult of Intelligence Why are these guys so talented and so good at thinking?
It’s not a joke, it’s dangerous.
What if the mosaic girl decided to sacrifice something?
Caesar will go crazy.
He used to be a madman, but now he has become a runaway locomotive with no brakes.
Please tell me by adjusting the water level appropriately.
I glared at the priest and sent a silent signal.
The priest nodded impatiently and answered.
“I will tell you everything without hiding! The monster was offered something after paying the witch three prices!”
What on earth did you think the cause of your death was?
Why would you throw a lifeline and kill yourself by throwing it away with your own hands!?
Caesar is now in a state of rage, like a time bomb on the verge of exploding!
