Those who were suspected of being members of the Resurrection Church had something in common.
The activity started in the last 4 or 5 years, or the purpose of the action is far from personal gain.
‘If we add the information from the first-class reading room here, we’ve narrowed it down to about three people.’
In the reading room, the purpose of the Resurrection Church’s arrival to the Sigvarda Continent was written.
To be precise, it was the information that he was looking for some magic book.
I don’t know if it’s a magic book that I’m looking for, but I also agreed with the content that it’s like looking for something.
[They left their base and came all the way here, and the fact that they are quiet has a purpose.]
‘yes. If there has been no violent action for several years, it must be that the whereabouts of the item you are looking for has not been found.’
There was a hint of anger in Skadi’s tone.
According to them, spirits were meant to be part of an evil spirit, so they offered them as sacrifices.
He was very angry that a mere human had harmed the spirit.
And now, I faced the guy I thought was the most influential among the selected candidates.
“Nice to meet you, Cruz Alexander.”
“Nice to meet you, my dear. The mercenary who is mainly active around here is called Psych.”
Due to its location, Ireland was a place that the Resurrection Church had no choice but to keep an eye on.
They were the ones who caused a lot of catastrophes by turning monsters into berserkers, and this place just met the conditions.
Adjacent to the capital, facing a large mountain range.
It’s because the scale is small and it’s difficult to cope with anything that happens.
So, if something happened, there was a high possibility of aiming for this place.
‘But since this place is being developed, they probably want to stop it if possible.’
However, based on the information given so far, the possibility of actively interfering with it is small.
If he did, he would move secretly.
That’s why I had no choice but to doubt the man in front of me.
He had all of the aforementioned commonalities, and he had information written on him that he was looking for magic books.
“I heard you were looking for me, but what happened… … ?”
Seeing the very cautious look in his eyes, I answered with a kind smile.
“It’s nothing grandiose, I’ve prepared a place to ask you a favor.”
“For the prince of the kingdom to ask a commoner like me. It is nothing short of gloomy.”
“Thank you for saying that. I want you to help with the development of this city.”
“Being there… … ?”
“You want to bring people together. This is a request not only for you, but for all those who are active around here.”
Syke nodded his head in agreement.
In the end, this work was only accomplished when a lot of people came together.
Information spread quickly, but that alone could not be enough, so he asked for help.
Tuk-tuk.
I took out a topographic map of the mountain range from my chest and pointed my finger at a specific location.
“Construction is going to continue until here.”
“… … Are you saying this wide?”
“okay. I am very ambitious.”

Looking at Syke, who was staring at the direction he pointed, he continued.
“So a lot of people must gather.”
“Certainly, if you increase the scale to this extent, you should.”
“So I’m asking someone like you.”
“Are you like me?”
“Those who move from place to place without a special place to live. Then you must have wide feet, don’t you think?”
“It’s true that there are people I know here and there because I’m a wanderer, but I’m not proud of myself because I’m short-haired.”
Staring at Syke, who smiled awkwardly as if he was being pulled off, decided to throw a bait to see the reaction.
“You are an unmanned person, but you were looking for books in an unusual way.”
wriggling
It’s subtle, but I could see his eyebrows shrinking.
It was a completely different reaction from what I had seen before.
“I think it’s probably a magic book, isn’t it?”
“hahahaha, even if you look at it like this, I have a bit of an odd hobby.”
“If you want anything, I’d like to help you, how about that?”
“How dare you ask me? It’s okay, it’s good to find these things yourself.”
“Then there is nothing you can do.”
After shrugging, he stood up and shook hands.
“I enjoyed the conversation. Please do not forget the request I made.”
“Of course, low.”
* * *
a few days after that.
Syke has secretly infiltrated deep in the mountains.
‘Surely, they said they would develop this area.’
2 I was a little nervous when the prince called.
Since it was an unexpected call, I kept in mind the possibility that I might have been caught, and approached the conversation carefully.
‘Fortunately, I wasn’t caught.’
When I heard the business, I understood the reason for calling.
2 If the development that the prince said goes ahead, it will be maintained only after that amount of people flock to it.
I also confirmed that I had said similar things to others.
‘But it would be meaningless.’
Syke wasn’t going to let this development go unnoticed.
There was also an order from above to obstruct it secretly.
‘This place should be used for the lofty will of the Resurrection Church in the future.’
Coincidentally, Prince 2 also informed the exact scope and location of development.
If you put your hands on it, you can disguise it as an accident and hinder development.
‘I just need to stop starting. Other believers will do it from now on.’
I didn’t intend to explode it all at once.
Plant a thing that can be disguised as an accident.
After that, another teacher who will come to visit can use his hand again to make the case and repeat it.
If so, development will be greatly delayed, and bad rumors will be woven, making it difficult to promote.
‘When this job is over, I’ll have to suggest expanding the area of activity.’
Currently, the Regeneration Church was looking for some items on the Sigvarda Continent.
Although one of the three items was luckily found in the past.
The remaining two came over, and even though they were investigating in earnest, they hadn’t been able to find them yet.
‘Because I focused my activities only on the north, there was a risk of being tracked.’
2 When the prince brought up the story of the magic book, chills ran down my spine.
It was because he threw out words that seemed to see through even though he was careful not to reveal his whereabouts.
‘I have to find the burial book.’
Currently, the first thing the Resurrection Church is looking for is a burial book.
Because what was written there tells you the location of other objects.
It was also a vessel that contained the power of evil spirits, so if possible, I had to find it first.
‘Anyway, I’ll have to pay attention to the kingdom’s intelligence.’
By the time I finished thinking like that, I had arrived at my destination.
The deepest part of the construction site.
‘The information appears to be true. I haven’t seen a monster yet even though I’ve come this far.’
It must have used something like a device to block the approach of monsters nearby for the construction.
After installing an inducer that can dispel it, if the monster goes berserk… … .
“As expected, the purpose was to decorate things here.”
“!?”
Hearing the sudden voice, Syke hurriedly turned around.
‘Why are the 2 princes here!?’
Syke was not a combat agent.
I belonged to a spy who was good at infiltration and operated by deceiving his identity.
He was so good at killing signs and hiding.
‘Did you follow me like that?’
If the opponent in front of me was strong, I could understand.
But isn’t it just a 4-star wizard?
Besides, a wizard who was not uninhabited followed him, but he didn’t notice it.
It was difficult to understand in many ways.
‘… … But they haven’t been caught yet.’
I just infiltrated this place, my identity wasn’t discovered.
In the first place, it was questionable whether the second prince knew about the Resurrection Church.
“Hey, what are you doing here?”
“Let’s stop pretending, because I know everything.”
“What are you talking about… … .”
“Take out all the things you have in your arms, fanatics of losers.”
Syke’s round eyes narrowed like snakes.
Because fanaticism of a loser was a sarcastic term for the Resurrection Church, which worships evil spirits.
“… … How did know?”
“I know your tricks well, they haven’t changed since the old days.”
“Once upon a time? I don’t know why.”
Syke raised his alertness while lowering his center of gravity.
Then, he quietly rolled his eyes, as if he was checking to see if there was anyone else besides me.
“I’m the only one who came here, so you can rest easy.”
He didn’t believe my words and looked suspicious, but his expression relaxed as if he realized it was true.
At the same time, a question crept up on his face.
“With what kind of confidence did you come alone? It’s surprising that you followed me.”
“Why? It was because it was enough for you alone.”
“ha ha ha!”
Syke laughed loudly, as if he was astonished.
“They say that the kingdom’s second prince doesn’t know the subject, so it’s true. It is very spectacle to believe in a small talent and install it.”
sereung.
Syke drew his sword with a forceful face.
“I’ll fix that quirk myself.”
I couldn’t help but burst out laughing at the guy’s spirited appearance.
Because the realm is low, even these worms ignore it.
“Is it barely reaching the 5-star intermediate level? It seems to belong to the weak axis among them.”
“… … I am different from those ignorant sword wielders.”
“okay? Then what are you aiming at me now?”
Dig!
Syke kicked the ground and ran.
The moment when the swordsmanship carried on the light step was about to be swung.
‘… … !’
A heavy pain rose in Syke’s wrist.
It was an unknown attack.
Syke hurriedly turned to evade the blow of the wind that followed.
“Even though the body is weak, the movement of the body is quite fast. Are you also an assassin?”
“… … cheeky.”
The arrogant way of speaking, as if looking down from above, got on Syke’s nerves.
Is this guy really a 4-star wizard?
If it’s not an illusion, what I just received was invisible magic.
‘I didn’t even know it was activated until it hit my wrist.’
clap.
Syke straightened his sword.
He decided to stop looking down on him and deal with him seriously.
“I’ll admit that you have enough skills to believe in your talents.”
“He’s such a funny guy, how long are you going to play big game?”
“… … The giggling ends there. I will treat you seriously from now on.”
Tsutsutsu.
Along with the radiated magic power, the surroundings were filled with sharp living creatures.
It was definitely stronger than before.
“First, I’ll cut off both of your legs, and then I’ll interrogate you about how much you know about us while peeling off your skin.”
“If you can, please.”
Kirik.
I laughed at his warning and touched the heavenly spirit.
You don’t have to touch it to activate it, but after using it, it became a habit.
Eventually, the heavenly spirit was activated, and an opaque, gray mana was released.
“… … !”
Syke, who was looking at me with lifeless eyes, was very embarrassed.
Is it because it’s the light of magic that I’ve never seen before?
No, it’s a little different… … .
“you you… … .”
Shaking off the stance that seemed like he was about to attack at any moment, Syke opened his mouth.
“How did you get Hubris-sama’s power… … !”
… … what?
